Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find

However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.

I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck

being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.

Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:

Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that posted a reply in here. I am trying, still having trouble finding the items but every search brings a new .cab installation to my phone!
Thanks Guys!

I happen to have the WLAn Registry fix bookmarked as I have to run it after every new ROM install. (Scroll down to find it)

move phoneAlarm to bottom screen - Hima

Help.. attached is my current Today screen..
i want to keep my Hima as content free as i can so i only installed SPB pocket plus 4, changed today theme with a full black one, and installed PhoneAlarm.. that's what i have right now.. I want to move the PhoneAlarm to the bottom most part of the screen where i also took out the screen rotate/power and wireless comm manager icons via reg hack.
can anyone please help? i tried using WAD but it's too big for me.. anyway i can just tweak the PhoneAlarm itself?
any ideas will be greatly appreciated... thanks in advance!

U have to edit ur Registery Settings For Ur today screen (i.e. their order numbers)..i think

There is a very good explanation on the PhoneAlarm website on how to edit your skin. That should do the trick.
There's also some old tiny today plugin (can't remember it's name, sorry) that adds just empty space between other today plugins.
success

AFAIR it's called "Spacer".

thanks for the replies! im in the office ryt now and i can't install spacer yet.. BUT.. if it's a plug-in, then it would do the same as adding a new plug-in to move it.. then a white scrollbar will come up on the right... RIGHT? (hope im wrong...) i'd try it.. anybody else got ideas? how about that registry mod thing.. any clue what key values i need to modify ?
thanks!

downloaded it not from scarybear site but on
http://www.pocketmax.net/index.html
set it on 33pixels...
perfect!!! thanks everyone!!!

I'm sorry. I didn't know it was on Pocketmax, else I would have given you the link.
I advice everyone to always check the original writer's website for all your software, both for PC and PDA.
In general they give better support, more information, they like to be in touch with their users, comments and suggestions can improve a product in many ways. Most offer free beta's for serious testers, some offer free full products for beta testers and I've seen more than once that writers released their older products to the public domain while they're still on sale on the shopping cart sites.
And of course it's safer...
In most cases you can find a link to the writer's site in the About screen, the Help or a Readme. Or you can Google (sorry Google, I continue to use it as a verb)

Today Big clock

What cab is the Big Clock I see on e all the today screens called and where can I get it for my at&t tilt ??

You can try this: Its called HTC home plugin. if you have vga screen there is a thread for it here on this forum. Just search htc home vga

Thanks that was it
How does one edit what is shown.
I do not need all the extras

is there a way to back this out if you dont like the way it looks?

Dont mean to hijack the thread but I would like to know as well, I like the plug in but the clock is to big any way to make it smaller ?
thanks

God these newbies are relentless... You answer one question (one that could have been solved via search or more over just READING the thread with the pictures of the clock you like. Instead of just looking at the pictures) and you get several follow up posts that could be answered in the same fashion...
Its like answering them just enables their lazy attitude.
Enough rant.
UNINSTALL IT. If you don't know how to do that. READ YOUR MANUAL.
As for the other one, search. Hell, just click through some menus.
And the other, does not get smaller (that I know of) with advanced modification to the plug-in.
Later, Lew
P.S. That was a long over due rant.

Delete MY POST Please

Guys,
I agree...but also disagree...
Agree: newbies/noobs should always read before they ask, use google, use search, rtfm, etc.
Disagree: just ignore the stupid questions, and if you have time, answer them (with a hint to why it's stupid, they might...possibly...eventually...learn! )...
Last but not least: google/search for HHC (HTC Home Customizer), the best HTC Home editor (AFAIK) which allows you to change the font, buttons, etc.

Nika.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to flashing and trying different ROMs but with the help of this forum, I think im getting there.....slowly at least.
That was until I installed this application for the big clock on the today screen, im runnning a winodws mobile 6.1 ROM and just assumed (for some reason) this would work.
After installation of the big clock mod, my phone just keeps resetting its self, over and over.
I'm hoping that i can fix the problem by flashing a new ROM, however the phone wont stay on long enough for me to sync it then run the ROM utility.
Is there a way of putting the phone in boot loader then running the flash application from the computer?
Thanks

Complete nooblooking for direction

Hi Folks,
apologies for this. I have a tytn2 & want to put up to date weather info on the screen.
I've tried using htc home & others but still cannot get the info on the screen.
I'd be grateful if some kind soul would take me under their wing & sort me out, I've been on this for about 2 days now
Sincerest apologies folks.
Many thanks (in advance)

More than likely your city isn't listed in the HTC Weather section. Use HTC Home Customizer to fix that, and many more things about the HTC Home. If you need more help just shoot me a Private Messege. I dont mind helping.

@Reef - I've tried what you suggested but no change to the screen at all. The original icons appear on the left with no additions
@grandpareza - many thanks, pm on it's way.

I'm moving this thread to the regular Kaiser forum as it's not what we class as upgrading/development.

Anyone help me out???

Hi, guys!
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
At first I would like to thank everyone about the awesome solutions and answers to all diamond -related questions I've read on this forum but there is still one I'd like to get some help with:
When i go to my home screen it shows the clock and under it are calendar and call history. Personally I dont need the calendar so i was thinking is there any way to change these? or add more, example e-mails... I'd like to have as much functions at the home screen as possible so I wouldn't have to scroll around the phone all the time.
Thank you in advance!

Welcome to XDA Developers!
Make sure you read the rules properly and get familiar with the search function.
This one I will answer: no, it's not possible for now, but a quick search would have given you the answer to your question.
