I just got a second hand Touch Pro and flashed an official 6.1 ROM obtained from htc.com on it. I managed to change a lot of the disgusting interfaces, but I couldn't find a solution for SMS and Contacts.
I was wondering, are there ways to somehow change the interface of those without flashing my ROM? I know apps like Easy Contact and stuff, but they don't seem to be fully replaceable (as in, Easy Contact will show up in the "Contacts" button in TF3D instead of the original Windows Contacts)
I know I'm asking for a question that I'm pretty sure everybody would ask. I swear though, I searched for the whole day but I could sadly find nothing related, so... help me out a little bit here?
Thanks in advanced!
sms to be
just search for sms skins i found some on this site the other day and they look way better
.
the lattest energy rom
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751

Thanks for the recommendations, but I don't think i really want to flash my ROM right now...
Are there any Contact skins?

so i got a t-mobile wing. my first smart phone. its amazing. anyways i have a few questions:
1. Where can i get a nice big digital clock today screen plugin? i see them on screen shots of peoples screens but i can't find any.
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
5. What is the best browser to use?
if you guys could help me that would be great. i have yet to find a forum about WM6 or the Wing that where people actually go to the site.
All of those and more are located within the forum in easy to find threads. The great thing about looking around the forum is you will find stuff out that you never even thought of. I would recommend reading and getting acquainted to the forums, its a much better way to learn than someone just linking you somewhere. And congrats on your new Wing.

this is HTC home plugin
2. Are there any good weather today screen plugins?
HTC home plugin shows weather. if not try SPB Weather, SPB Traveler, SPB phone suite (the only ones I have experience with)
3. Some people (or at least on other devices) have SMS as a softkey, mine are calendar and contacts, is there a simple option to make the calendar softkey be SMS instead? or do i have to edit the registry or something crazy like that to get it?
Go to Settings, Buttons to change the softkeys
4. Do i really have to worry about viruses on this thing? i saw something like WM5 Anti Virus program, so im just wondering.
In my opinion, no not really ... just be considerate of what you install on your phone and what executable files you run.
5. What is the best browser to use?
I haven't settled on one yet, but I use Mozilla's MINIMO and OPERA 8.X apart from IE.

Hope this helps
i guess my other post didn't show up? well every search results in HTC Home or TouchFlo.
i don't want all the stuff from HTC home, just the clock and simple weather, no tabs or any of that stuff. is there a way to have just the clock and/or weaher?
and thanks for your help
also, going to settings>buttons has no optinos for softkeys, only hardware keys.
opera mobile is a lot better, i like how you can scroll by dragging on the screen.
I do use Opera most of the time, I've just always been a big supporter of Mozilla stuff ... so I keep it around
I just wanted to give you a few options so you could try them out for yourself and see what you liked.
i havn't tried minimo because i heard it was slow and uses a lot of memory. is that true?
ive upgrade my Orange SPV m3100 today to a TyTn II, and first signs are impressive, however a few little things annoying me, and ive tried searching for help but cant seem to find it.
1, SMS/MMS
this is a massive pain in the ass to me, before on the SPV, it was split and made life easier. but now its merged and is driving me insane for some unknown reason (possibly OCD lol)
2. SMS main screen
On the left soft key it now says "Delete". again on the SPV it was new, made life easier and faster rather than trawling menu for new messages
3. The main today screen. The quality HTC black screen with big clock isnt an option on Orange so it would appear. if so can anyone tell me how? its looks great on the HTC Touch yet on here i have either the crappy Orange side bar or standard Windows bars
4. Touch FLO. wat programs does this work on, cus mine seems obsolete on everything
sorry to be a mega noob, but wud appreciate some input on making this PDA truely awesome

Cheers boys and girls
There is no way that you searched and didn't find the answers.
need to find better searching tricks, 1 advice would be to use google or just using a few key words in the forum's search tool
well i did search but "new sms" "delete" "mms" comes up with 32 pages. most of them reading thru, talk about new CABs, and for me thats a last resort, i no u think im being lazy, but after reading 100+ threads with no luck id thought id ask
I got the orange tytn ii before Christmas, and hated the Orangeness of the phone. Found the HTC plugin here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html
Install on phone, soft reset and then go to "settings", "today" and move to the items tab. Tick the HTC home (not the HTChomeplug) option.
For the black "theme" which is just the black background with a small htc logo in the bottom right and the black bars top and bottom:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/s.php?querywords=htc+black+theme
Again install on phone, soft reset go back to "today" and on the first tab select HTC_new_default
You will still have an orange battery charge icon on the top bar though. I've been happy to live with that!
much appreciated mate. ill have a crack at that when I finish work later.
managed to sort touch flo out aswell
ill carry on searching thru the sms threads, but in the mean time, if any one can point me in the right direction id be very greatful
cheers again

You can find different versions of Arcsoft with the SMS/MMS split. However, it can cause problems when you install it overtop of the merged version. Your best bet is to read up on ROM Upgrading in the Kaiser Wiki, actually the whole Wiki, and then look for a cooked ROM that has the split version of Arcsoft loaded by default.

He is correct. Messing with the Messaging system can bring on Gremlins. Best leave it be or get a ROM that has that from scratch. I've come to be ok with the combined SMS/MMS. At first I didn't like it but I'm fine with it. What I really disliked what the threaded SMS on 6.1.
Think you're stuck with the combined mms/sms. You could always make another folder and manually copy your received mms's over to that. Can't say it bothers me too much. Cure your OCD by convincing yourself that an mms is just an sms with an attachment!
Regarding the previous post. Once you have downloaded the cabs copy them into a folder on your phone (eg. my downloads) and install them, then soft reset.
Once you have it up and running you can go back to "today" (settings) and choose from the items tab what other notifications you want to display below the "big clock"!!
Top tip if you're with Orange. I managed to blag the Orange Business data tariff of 250mb per month for £8 per month including VAT. This rolls over as well!! Phone up customer services and ask (nicely) if they'll bolt it on for you. If not ask for the data tariff department and sweet-talk them.
nice one guys, many thanks, ill let u no how it goes in a bit
hey, spot on so far mate, any other tips? or things that are good to install, got msn so happy with that too
by the way ive got a great blag for the business net user, just wondering wat questions they asked?
no luck blagging , just out of curiosity, is anyone else having problems with IE lagging loads whilst u scroll down even tho the page has loaded?
hi guys i have just updated my rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533
and it has a old style incoming call screen also a really small dialer any one got any good apps i could use... thanks for any info.. helps if there free apps thanks
Great ROM...
I've tried that particular ROM myself, it's really good. The dialer you're refering to is the default Microsoft dialer. You've probably been using a ROM with the HTC dialer, which has bigger buttons and is easier on the eye. If I remember right, there is a reason why the ROM has the default dialer... something to do with the new lock screen I think?
Have a browse throught the forum where you got the ROM, the answer is there somewhere
Its in the second post of the ROM thread:
- HTC like dialer skin -
I tried searching on here and other sites to disable the touchflo contact cards & Call History but have not come up with anything. I want to revert to the WM6.5 contacts and contacts cards and call history. I'm looking for performance over looks. To me the touchflo version is basically a skinned WM version IMO.
P.S. I don't feel like reading people complain asking me why I want to do this. Just answers please...
registry key changes would be your best bet in that situation, not sure how but ill try to get back to u and update what i can find, all though no one had this type of request before, this is really rare...
hey~
i think either 'diamon tweak' and/or diamond tf3d config' should do the trick. although, speaking form experiance, i had a problem with the contact tab missing from my tf3d interface and was only able to restore it w/a registry tweak....so if the programs don't do the trick you may need to search for the specific registry keys and edit them w/a regediting program.
good luck!

1) Landscape isnt working in HTC's threaded messaging, notes, microsoft word, event input, etc. I tilt my phone and nothing. The only landscape that seems to be working is when i create a new text message with WM's SMS.
How do i fix this?
2) The phone feels sluggish. I just got it out of the box. So i want to upgrade it/flash a rom?? (im new to this thing). I want the new manilla (with the contacts tab in grid form), I'm interested in Dutty's rom thing,
what do I do, or what do you recommend me do?
Is it possible to screw up my phone?
Thanks
