Tilt stock WM 6.1 - how to remove 4 tab HTC home?

It's been a few months since I have been to this forum and it looks like there are lots of cool new programs and a new device (the diamond) that has provided some new cabs. I had gotten a lot of great cabs and tips here from last September through Spring but have not really added much to my phone since then. I had Ultimate Launcher with HTC Home as one of the cube faces and I really loved it. Anyway, I recently ruined my Tilt and had it replaced but the new Tilt has windows mobile 6.1 in place of 6.0 and not all of my old cabs/programs work anymore. I'm excited to see what else is out there for 6.1, but in the meantime, I noticed that the stock tilt comes with a version of HTC Home that has 4 of the 5 tabs (it's missing the music tab). I tried to use HTC home customizer but I can't. I can't seem to load a new version of HTC home over it either. I could not find the HTC Home program in the list of removable programs.
Maybe it's time for me to take the leap and move to a flashed ROM but every time I read through the instructions I get a little nervous and decide to wait until I feel like I really know what I am doing.
Anyway, I'd like to remove this stock version of HTC Home and load up a new version of HTC Home and start adding some cool cabs that work with WM6.1 but I can't find any threads addressing this HTC Home issue. Does anyone have any advice?

I too am interested in this if it is possible.
I dont have a working pc at home right now so flashing is not really an option for me.

What version of HTC home are you trying to install. I think there are a few out there. Also what error or msg are you getting when trying to install the faulty htc home plugin?

I successfully installed the new HTC home over the stock one on my AT&T stock ROM 6.1 and nothing broke. it pretty much overwrites the previous one so you don't have any duplicate entries in the remove programs or anything.

i tried to install HTC Home - Schen 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch (UPX compressed). i just realized my mistake was not deselcting it from the home screen before installing the cab. i feel like a jackass. thanks to the people who offered help. by the way is there a newer, better version of HTC home to install?

Touch flo and Manila version how to know ?

Hi all, i'm sorry to write for this question, but i got a Tytn II just from 2 weeks, and i don't know which software i have on it, which version of Touch flo or Manila (if 2d or 3d), there is away to know the version of the software ?
Is There a way to update it if it is old ?
I know i have
Rom 3.29.408.0 ITA
Rom Date 05/07/08
Radio v1.65.16.25
Protocol v. 25.83.40.02H
My tytn ii is WM 6.1 PRO ITA CE 5.2.19212 Build 19212.1.0.3
I looked in Installed software but i can find only the software i installed, nothing about Touch Flo or Manila.
I suppose i have Manila, because i have the clock and several icons where i can find contacts, programs, weather, but i don't have the internet icon.
I found Manila version 1.20.19131530.00 at this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
but i don't know if it is good for the tytn 2, then i suppose it is in english but if i want it in italian there is something to change or install ?
If i install it, it will overwrite the installed Manila, right ?
If i uninstall it (because don't work or i don't like) the old one will be recovered automatically ?
I read about Manila 2D and 3D, which is the difference and where i found the 3D version ?
thanks for any hint and for the answers to my questions
if you have some link to explain my needs i will appreciate them

In the Settings Tab on M2D will say TouchFlo version.

Hi stylez, the problem is that i can't find the Tab you are talking about,
i just see date and hour (digits), then the icons, one for contact, one for weather, one for programs, but i can't see the icon for the settings
this is why i don't know which version i have i can see it
thanks for any help

Did you try to drag your finger to the right (and see how the icons are travelling to the left at the same time) ? There you'll find, usually at the last position, the settings tab.
Excuse me for this question, but:
For other questions, did you do an extensive search here to know how Manila works or how a Windows Mobile device works ?

hi all, and sorry but i discovered that i have HTC Home only infact in Today Elements, i have Date, HTC Home, Messages, and HtcHomePlug, so i suppose no Manila is installed on my device.
Infact i can't move to left or right, so the Home, Contact, Weather, Program and Phone Icons are of HTC Home and not of Manila.
Now if i want to install Manila then i can remove it if it doesn't like ?
is there an italian localization of Manila for Kaiser ?
is the herg repository for the english version only, right ?
thanks and sorry for the newbie questions

Clean RTM build?

hey guys,
is there a rom like the one from the touch pro2, with WM6.5 and HTC Sence that is stock like?
which build has the RTM?
i want that my touch hd runs as smooth as the touch pro 2 from a friend of me. its with original 6.5 firmware and the speed is really very impressive, like on the old XDAs with 320x240...

i've seen this release already, but this is manila, not sense.
touchflo was called manila till 2.1, since 2.5 its sense, isn't it?
i'll miss the programm shortcuts on the mail screen.
a few minutes ago i saw a post, where someone mentioned that WM 6.1 with sense 2.5 would be very performant like the touch pro 2. is anyone in here who could confirm that?
i want to flash a hd2 or touchpro2 stock rom :-D

sorry if i got you wrong; however, there actually IS a manila version called sense 2.1. it's the one with the weather displayed on the clock.
the touchpro2 stock rom has this version of htc sense (and kwbr released it for HD)
sense 2.5 (shortcuts on home) is meant for 1ghz cpu and thus it will never, ever, be as fast as in a HD2.
win6.1 + sense2.5 = no go as many features of sense 2.5 are heavily dependant on some wm6.5-specific updates

Yes, the Manila 2.1 version in the official Rhodium update is called HTC Sense. The closest to this Miri V30, Dutty R15, Dutty Holy Grail Man 2.1, and KBWR Topix 3.0.2

thank you guys, now i'am actually trying the topix 3.1.2...
runs very very fast and stable! thats like our mobiles have to work!
but i miss the weather and the program shortcuts on the main screen :-(

yes, Im kinda in this situation as well.
while enjoying the speed of sense 2.1, missing the weather and river flow pic album. Wonder why they don't put the weather animations in the weather tab. If they can display fine in homepage, surely they can show ok in the weather tab.

why dont vw put a v12 engine in a polo if they can put in a veyron? lol short answer, if they made every manila the same no1 would have any reason to buy a new and more expensive device

I know this is a loong shot but can't manila or sense be modified ?? like we take out some cabs from a ROM and make a new ROM, can't similar thing be done with manila/sense? take out the tabs we like and put in a new manila!!

I'm really lost, would appreciate help.

Hi,
I've just upgraded to the TD2 from the original TD (which I had modded with various useful apps), but now I require some help with the TD2.
I don't really understand the often mentioned Manilla modification.
Is it a complete ROM update which will replace the WM 6.5 update along with its HTC Sense interface?
Am I correct in thinking that the HTC sense in the TD2 is different from the Sense in the HD2? This is how I'm reading it in the forums.
If this is the case will the MaxManilla update (ROM rewrite?) work still.
Basically I really need to have the calendar on the home screen to display the next appointments, whether they are from the next day or further down the week/month. It's really very frustrating that it only shows the current and next days appointments. It'd also be useful if it showed the tasks (if they're active) too.
Cheers in advance.

Hi im pretty new to the phone wel been using it for a month and I might be able to help you out.
Most roms now run on sense 2.5 which is the roms for td2(aka Topaz) based off of the HD2(aka Leo) it has most functions which run on the leo also max manilla is basically for customizing the look of the interface and yes when you flash your device will be wiped and reinstalled with useful applications and programs just like when you first bought it

manila/sense vs maxmanila
Manila is the core system file known as HTC Sense - you can't install this from a .cab [for now], that's why any upgrade to manila is directly implemented in ROM [ROM rebuild > flash ROM]
MaxManilla is an application designed to customize Manila
-= for now =-
if you want to upgrade manila / sense, you can't unless you reflash your rom
if you want to upgrade maxmanila, that's ok, but that doesn't mean you upgrade the manila core

How to get more local weather locations (Australia)

Hi all!
Newbie to this forum, this will be my first post! BUt have been reading ALOT of threads to get myself comfortable with flashing my HTC Touch Diamond 2, many thanks to all who make the 'first time flashers' threads.....very helpful!
My problem is this, does anyone know how I can change the weather (the HTC sense one) so that it displays a more localised location?
I presume it uses a US website for its database, and unfortunately the nearest city to me that it picks up is about 300km away, and the weather differs greatly to my location.
I live in Australia, and the major weather websites (bom.com.au & weatherzone.com.au) have data for the city I live in (so its not like where I live doesnt have any weather data).
I have read on another thread (for the sony xperia) that people were using data from the weatherzone.com.au site, so was wondering if it would be possible to do so with WinMobile on a HTC device.
So does anyone know if I can change the database that the weather info comes from?
thanks

Didn't try it yet, but maybe this helps:
Manila 2.1 and 2.5 JVH3 Weather City Editor - Version 3.5 | updated 3/15/2010

solved - sorry all, I think I was either completely braindead, 'my location' was working perfectly.....I just did not recognise the nearest town that it had selected, (fairly new to the area), and the town it chose is across the river and not one that is familar.
Apologises to all......
FIRST POST............FAIL!!!
