Hey folks...
I just got a hero (sprint) a couple days ago, and I'm already running out of space on my home screens... I really like the bookmark widget, but it just takes up too much space... Anyone ever seen one that's just a single row of icons tall that scrolls left/right? I've gotta believe it exists, or wouldn't be too tough to create.
Any input?
Use a Live Folder.. search for bookmark(s) live folder in market

That's a workable solution, but I'd much rather have a widget.
Thanks for the pointer though... If I totally run out of space, I'll go that route..
Or you can use "bettercut" app in the market and make your own bookmark shortcuts. Plus you can choose your own icon, by downloading the image or use an icon pack they provide.

Mate this is hero development, your question should be in Hero themes and apps .... Moderators you attention please.
P.S bettercut's the best option

I've searched quite a bit and I just can't find it, what is the link to the first screen that shows up on the Tilt when it boots up?
I know the animation is: 3G Up_01_1.gif
I know the Windows start image is: welcomehead.95.png
But I can't find out that first image.
Or if there is anyway to make one picture show up the whole way through instead of switching to the 3 seperate ones. (I do know there is a point to it, and it's nice to know where it is in the boot process)
And while you're here, do you know if there is a way to add a "Weather" plugin to the HTC Home Plugin that comes on the Tilt? I've found the upgraded one that adds the PIE icon and I can use Kaiser Tweak to add more, but none of them are a weather plugin.
Thanks.
that's part of ROM image, to cahnge it you have to flash your ROM with a cooked one. Also, I think you can just flash the splashscreen but that requires you to load a different bootloader such as HardSPL.
If you have HTC HOme loaded, then you have a weather tab. Get HTC Home Customizer from pocketemu.com and you can customize the tabs, icons, and weather settings.

Ok, I may have to look into that.
As far as HTC Home, I don't like the large clock format. I like how it is, although I plan to go through the Customizer and see if I can make one I like better.
Thanks.

If you don't use HTC Home plugin and just want a good weather plugin, then there's a host of good ones out there. I recommend SPB Weather it's one of the best out there.

I will definitely look into that. So far I've just been using google as my PIE homepage with the weather located on top of the headlines once I log in.
Thanks.

Yeah that's what I do to. I used to use Marsware WeatherPanel along with the normal plugins of WM5. Now with this HTC plugin, I just like it way better. My weather isn't as detailed but I like the design better then the old plugins. All comes down to personal perferences....
Hey everyone,
I'm sick of trying to get the HTC Home weather thing to work. I've tried replacing DLL's, editing XML files, and installing a couple different versions. None seem to work so I'm moving away from this weather app.
I'm looking for a standalone app that will show me local weather along with a 5 or 7 day forecast. It would also be nice if I could store other city's to it as well so I can see the weather at different places.
I don't want a today screen plugin. I just want to be able to open this application, view the weather, and close it.
Anyone have a good program for that? Free or paid I don't care... I'm just looking for the best & most stable.
It isn't just a weather app, however SPB traveller when opened shows the cities you have specified with their weather, high and low temps for 4/5 days depending on the view you select.
It will show you their time and conversions to your local money.
It is likely to be a bit bloated for what you require, however it works exceptionally well and I haven't had any issues with it.

"Weather Watcher" is exactly what you are looking for. It will do multiple cities, current conditions, hourly, extended forecast, weather alerts, and a zoom-able radar of the city you have selected. You can set it to automatically update or update it manually. Best part is that it is free. You can get it here.

Thank you for the program. Seems to work pretty well. I had to make Opera NOT by default browser through... otherwise it wouldn't work. It basically loads IE into the program and you view webpages.
But... very cool. Thanks again

I'll check it out... but just from looking at the program it does seem a tad too bloated for what I'm looking for. But thank you
I liked Weather Watcher too, but it won't open HTML pages since Opera was my default.
I uninstalled Opera and it still wouldn't work. Did you have to change any settings?

With Opera installed I went into settings and made sure to un-check make opera the default browser.
After I did that it worked.

Let me rephrase it: I couldn't get it to working using Opera Mini
try weather panel. in case you have the SP BMobile hsell, you can insert the program as one of the tabs. I love it. It's the best, and I've tried them all.
I use PocketWeather, very detailed.
ekhhhh...im really getting frustrated, none of these programs work with a proxy connection! does anybody know a weather program that works with a proxy connection? thanks

Well Weather Watcher is in deed free. I'm afraid to say you might have settings problems on your GPRS connection. I have Proxy and it worked perfectly for me. If you care to share our DevInfo, I'll see if I can help.
Hi there,
Where did you get Weatherpanel free, all the version I got asked for registration key and even if I put it in it still asked me for it again, like I never entered it. I'm using Pocket Weather now and its pretty good.(Not free though)
You can try this one. It's free and loaded to the gills w/ info. Including hourly.

Is it possible to customize HTC home that comes with WM6.1 for the Tilt upgrade that was just released? I have it installed and I like it, for the most part. However, I would really like to change the favorite contacts and the items in the launcher. However, when I hold my stylus on one of the contacts I don't want to see, it just starts dialing.
Is there a manual for the new software that I missed somewhere?

don't hold your stylus on one of the programs/contact you don't want to see, just click the last program/contact in the section, which should be an X
And this is why I need to play more than I did... Are there any other tweaks for the HTC Home? personally, I'm not liking the amount of real estate it takes on the screen... 2/3 of it in portrait and all but 1-2 lines in landscape is a little much.
I like the functionality of it, but would really like to find ways to make it look better/different if that is possible.

Nope. Its pretty much fixed size. You can get emunutz's HTC Home Customiser to chage the clock font, icons etc. But as for size... its fixed. The only way is to recreate something similar using apps/plugins like batterystatus

I just got the gtablet for christmas and I just found this forum. I hope this wasnt asked before if it was please direct me. How do I change the wallpaper? I have it setup as classic home. Also while on classic home I only have the following icons weather, news, photos,music, videos, and clock how do I get all my icons there instead of touching the 3rd icon down in the lil tool box on the side? I also read on here about people loading different software on instead of the taptap thing it uses. What are the advantages of the different software? Sorry its long..Thanks

Maybe start here: http://gtabfans.com/
That will give you some basics about the different roms and other things.
Then read, and read, and read some more.
Most importantly is whatever you decide.. "Follow The Steps EXACTLY" Don't not do them because it just doesn't seem right. It is very easy to mod this tablet. It is also very easy to run into problems. None of the problems are real serious, and can be fixed but they will make you nuts trying to figure out what happened. So follow the directions....
The reason people put different roms on there tablet, or phone, or whatever is to gain features, to fix things that don't work right, and to gain performance. Out of the box the tablet is not bad nowadays in comparison to what was loaded on it when I first got mine.
If you are new to this, read, read, read....... And don't be afraid. It is hard to really break this thing...
im so lost lol i tried to install that clockwordmod thingy and i cant get it...so frustrating
I believe there are two different update.zip files for clockwork. One for internal sd and one for external. I used the external. Put it on micro sd, insert, power down, boot into recovery with power and volume +, and voila... There are several great tutorials on this site...

1st, Way to go with making the move to a custom rom.
Setting wallpaper
-All you need to do is press and hold on the home screen.
-You will see a pop up with options.
-Go to wallpaper.
-Select where you are getting the wallpaper from.
-Choose your wallpaper and you will have to crop it a bit and save...
You should now have your wallpaper set.
For Clocks you need to go to the market and choose your preference of clocks for example like typoclock and do sort of the same as above but this time with widgets.
Hope that helps.
how do i make custom wallpaper or install ones people made on here to download?
If you download an image from the Gtablet or just transfer it to it, it should show up in your gallery. For me, I usually need to reboot for the Gallery to see new images. Once you get the wallpaper popup, one of the options is Gallery. Use that, find your image and select it.
Most of all spend some time screwing around with Android and learn the OS. Always remember the long press and the menu key. They are th skeleton keys to Android. If there's and option you're looking for, one of those two is usually how you'll find it.
