Well, there are a couple ways to go about this.
1. You can get rid of the entire built in software set, and flash a new ROM, like the stock HTC ROM. That will get you the stuff I think you were expecting. But that's not an easy thing to do. If you don't know what a ROM is or what flashing one is. I suggest you don't consider this idea.
or
2. you can try to install some of the stuff you expected piecemeal on top of your exisitng software. This works fine. It may not be the best way to go about it, but its certainly easier and safer. To do this, you can get alot of the software at this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332438
that is the stickied thread for "latest cabs". Cabs are installable programs. The one you most likely are lookign for is the HTC Home app. Its there. Download it, install it. There's also a configurator program that can be used also. Download and install that.
Hope that helps get you going.

thanks
i think i will just try the second idea

Probably a good idea...Also I just noticed the HTC Home Customizer isn't in that thread. It may have been removed since it's now got its own site. It's still free. You can download it fromhere:
http://www.pocketemu.com/download.html

I have the Orange TyTn ll and I have the HTC screen without having to flash the ROM. People have had problems when flashing the ROM's on Orange.
I am using the Kaiser_htc.home.v2.0.814.722.cab > Customisable home plug in found in the Collection of the Latest Cabs for kaisers Sticky post.
Without this site I would not have a clue about these things as I have only had mine for 10 days and its my first one!!
Thanks to all contributors to this site (However small)

Can I Install New Today Plug-in on ATT ROM

Still a newbie here. I have seen many of the excellent today screen plug-ins that have been posted on this site. Can I install new Today plug-in without changing the ATT ROM (ATT Tilt)? If yes, where do I find instructions on how to do this? If not, is there a good tutorial on upgrading the ROM?

Hi:
Compared to most of the people here, I am somewhat of a newbie also (although doing my best to learn).
I would suggest reading this board alot, there is so much to learn. There are also a few other sites that can help you. www.ppcgeeks.com, www.howardforums.com
A great thread to look at since you have an interest in changing your today screen is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336013&highlight=black

Do I need to download a software to be able to do this?

ROM Cooking First Time - I HAVE SEARCHED and searched...

Hi,
Please could someone point me in the right direction on a tutorial/guide on how to use KovskyKitchen? If there isnt one at the moment then please let me know.
Furthermore could someone let me know how to rip/extract the baseROM from a UK Vodafone X1. I am completely new to this game but would like to make my X1 as lean as possible (really how I see fit), do worry I HAVE SEARCHED THE FORUMS but cant seem to find a definitive guide.
Cheers,
Phil Rich

There isn't one for X1. But you could read the guide for kitchen for other device (Touch pro, kaiser ...etc) since all are basically the same.
Basically, you need to put the extracted nbh file in /baserom and run the command the to extract.
Or maybe you could try mine or itje's lite/clean rom to save yr time.

searched and searched but didn't bother reading a couple of threads down on here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446382&page=2
to dump the rom you need itse rom tools and run pdocread.
if you type rom dump into the google search at the top it tells you how to do it.
I have dumped the vfuk rom, but the 4 raw files are even at maximum compression 250mb+ so I haven't had time to post them
When you have the 4 raw parts you stick one of the base ruu_signed.nbh roms that are already on this forum and put part2 & part3 raw files in the base rom folder of the kovsky kitchen, as said here.

Thanks for the advice, but...
Hi,
Thanks for the links fards.
Please could you describe to me what a nbh file is?
What does it do and where can I get one from?
Does this come from the ROM dump?
Thanks,
Phil

Just curious, but do you have any experience flashing ROMs yet? I have owned 3 XDA's and flashed many ROMs so I know a lot about the ROMs SPL's and such. Thats something you should be knowledgeable in. I am thinking about getting into cooking too now.
A nbh file is a ROM. The nbh is the product of your cooking, and the nbh is what you put into the RUU to flash to your device. You can get it from a ROM dump or you can download it from others.

It's always a good idea to just download the tools, start them up and take a look around. See what options are available and get familiar with them. From there start asking questions. It's a bit hard to answer if you're basically saying "tell me everything".

you're learning fast
all ive ever done is read the other device tutorials and had a play, although i did prefer the hypercore kitchen on the athena to the kovsky/kaiser based one.
but it does the job especially with the really neat options.xml generator

I am starting to learn to cook roms, does the HyperCore work for xperia? what kind of dump should i select? normal OS.bin (option 3)?

Looking for Energy Phoenix2 28008 Dec 4 standard

Can anyone point me to a working download site for this older ROM? I'm looking for a WM6.5 ROM which supports the RC-E100 remote and I'm told that this one does. (I've tried a variety of more recent versions and none did)

Ask in the ROM thread, you might get more help there. Or search using the link in my sign.

you cant download HTC Sense
you can only flash it, with a custom ROM, be sure to read the Flash GSM Touch Pro 2 for noobs before trying it out, good luck

"Sense" is the new(ish) name that HTC gave to what they used to call "TouchFlo 3D", i.e. the interface with the home page and then tabs for people, texts, email, etc. So your phone will already have it, but you may be able to flash a different ROM which has a different version of Sense on it (e.g. 2.5 vs 2.1). As the other poster said, you can't just install a new version of Sense on its own though, you need to flash a whole new ROM (see the stickies for full details on that).
