How to get HTC Home Screen for AT&T Tilt?

I want the HTC Home Screen (with the big clock and shortcuts) on my Tilt. Where can I find it? How do I install it? Will it mess with the AT&T ROM?
Thanks.

here you go sir. im only giving you this one because the 6 button version always seems to put my phone on vibrate when i dont want it. so heres the one that works. it will not mess your phone up. install to the phone. enjoy.

Thanks
Thank you very very much!
I've never done this, how do I install?

Move the .cab to your phone - use File Manager on your phone to browse to where you put the file - run the file by clicking on it

I installed the cab, but I dont see anything different...do I need to change any setting after installing? Will this give me the weather on the Today screen?

reset the device
reset then go to settings, today, items, and select the correct plug_in.

I did that, and have the HTC plugin checked...just wondering what im supposed to be seeing...anybody have a screenshot?
What about the weather...How do I get that?

Yeah here it is,
Ignore the watermark, couldnt find a handy/free screenshot
anyway for weather, if you want your own city its another story.
There is one good tutorial for that on the forums, just have to look

Just select a different theme for the today screen.

I want to try this on my new AT&T Tilt. But can it be uninstalled? In case I change my mind? In the past, I downloaded one of the HTC Home Plug-in CABs from this site, and I had to hard-reset to get rid of it...

quick question, what plugin are you using to show the state of the connections (phone, wifi and bluetooth) ,I don't recognise it

WIRLESS TODAY PLUGIN
:] you guys should really try the cabs duttythroy put together

HTC Home with Contacts
I downloaded the HTC Home cab listed in this string and it appears to work just fine. I need to tweak it (i.e. - add more cities to the weather file as well as add the programs on the program screen), but what I really miss is the Conatcts screen ... the one where you have 9 pictures that are one touch dialing in that tab. Does a .cab exit for HTC Home with the four tabs instead of the three?
I ran the 6 button on and 8125 and HATED the fact that it arbitrarily changed my phone to vibrate mode. But I'd really enjoy the contacts tab.
Thanks!

Battery Bar ...
I also downloaded the .cab listed in this string for the battery bar in the header (for lack of better term). I placed it on the phone and ran it, then the phone rebooted ... nothing. I executed the .cab a second time, was told the previous version would be uninstalled, it installed and rebooted again ... nothing.
I picked the QVGA version of the bars, not solid. I may try solid next but I can't imagine that would correct any issues. Just wanted to post that it didn't work for me.

HTC Sense home UI for LP

This is a simple Sense UI homescreen look/theme for launcher pro (NOT a port of sense or any widgets)

how to use :
1. set sensedock.png as your launcherpro dock
2. set your leftmost icon to go to the app drawer, then select custom icon and use the clearsquare.png as the icon
3. same as step two, but set the middle three icons to be the phone app. again, set the icon to be the clear square
4.set the rightmost icon to be whatever you want, i used messaging. again, use the clear icon
thats it! just tap one of the three sections and it will take you there
now your homescreen dock will look just about the same as senseUI.

Very clever! Really nice. Sure many will appreciate this!

Looks great! You should couple it with the HTC EVO 4G Status Bar MetaMorph for the real feel ;-)

thanks for the positive responses
my first release/thingy and i wasnt sure if people would like it

Nice Work!!!!

You should use the app Shootme to post screen shots instead of taking pictures with your camera..
Great Skin, looks awesome

Stupid Android newb question (I'm sorry) but how do you apply themes? I came from the iphone jailbreaking scene so i'm still new to my Captivate

Does it soul still habe a 3d app tray?

yes i should, and will
@linuxnewb install launcher pro (Free in app market) then go into preferences>apperance settings>dock background> pick custom and select the dock
then hold down each icon on the dock and set it individually
@clown_lov: yes, you just need to go into launcherpro settings and enable it

love it

ok, I have installed via metamorph and have launcher +beta as my launcher...I must be tired, so where do I go to do as your 4 steps tell me to?
ok, yup I am tired...any more questions will wait when I am fully awake - later on today...lol

Works great!!! Thanks - I needed launcher pro, as you said, and at first all I found was the other one...it would be nice to port the HTC SENSE UI in its entirety to the phone. But, until that day happens, this is a great alternative and the UI is still quick, too, on the captivate. Now, could you point me in the general direction of where I could change the sound and image files of this awesome phone? Thank!!

its not likely that an entire sense ui port will ever happen, basically because senseui is for and by HTC phones, which bare a total of almost no hardware similarities with the sgs. (check this out though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=737526)
you can look to the android general theme section for some bootscreens and sounds.

Do I have to root my captivate to do this?

All you need is Launcher Pro. Hit up the preferences menu after pressing the menu key on the homescreen and go to Appearance settings to change the dock skin.

I wish there was a way you could use the right button to add the widgets or wallpapers screen you know. There a way to do it?

the first two ways that come to mind are like a shortcut or something and an app that just opens that menu
personally i dont find that to be a really useful button so i assigned it to messaging

What's the all the ado about Sense?
So in a nutshell, is the appeal of SenseUI:
Customized dock
Useful widgets
Expose-like homescreen management
Am I missing something or does all that seem do-able in LauncherPro + (minus some of the widgets of course)?

Thanks , been rockin it for awhile now .

Love the launcher but I can't get it working correctly. The Dock Bar had everything but it says "LAB" over the Phone Tab in very small letters and there's a sense picture in front of the right app button. Neither of them do anything when I tap them, the other app button works fine though. Any help?

I didn't develop the launcher. It's found here. It specifically states that if you have ADW launcher installed already, things won't work properly. Try to uninstall the ADW launcher and then re-install the modded launcher and everything should work fine.

Launcher Pro Icons

Im looking for a very specific set of icons. I want some to match the stock icons that come with Launcher pro or some that closely resemble them. I dont even know where to start looking. Any ideas?

Every time I go to the Launcher Pro site FF gets laggy. There is a script there that doesnt run right with my machine and I cant browse anything with the site open. If your serious about making them Id like a multimedia icon, tools icon, the xScope Icon, and the Yellow Pages icon all done in the stock icons for Launcher Pro. Thanks in advance for the help.

Ok i will start working on them and get them to you as soon as i can. and your welcome.

And by "done in stock icon for launcher pro" i assume you mean looks like stock but in a ghost version for LP?

No. The Launcher Pro has its own icons right out of the box. I just really like those so I want the others to match them.
Here you can see the default Launcher Icons on the bottom:

EDIT- I just realized there is already a navigation icon.

Ok i think i get what your saying the four icons under my clock are Launcher pro icons is that what you want your icons to be similar to?

wow it looks wonderful !! I can't wait to test !!

Looks so samsungy Either way, it's cool ^_^

Nice! Looks great I'll test it.

Interesting....

Nice rom! But I`ve got a problem. In home screen I cant add shortcuts under the ''points''. In the screenshots you have the phone, contacts, messages, application...but i cant add no one apart of the application that is already there. How can I put the shortcuts there?

That's cause you're doing it wrong. Go to the app drawer, then click on the menu button and on "Edit". You will be able to put the icons you want on the dock

Ok, thanks!

What's so interesting in Samsung's soft? Is it any better than LG's? The launcher is not faster or more functional so what's the point? Thanks for your effort but that's not for me.

so, in official v20Q, values of memory is different. why you have them down?
i raised up with rom toolbox, and i see differences!
EDIT: the offial values is 8 ; 12 ; 16 ; 24 ; 52 ; 64
you can put with rom toolbox

Power off become restart mode
I am unable to shut down the phone as holding down the lock button as usual to off it, after touch on the power off, the phone do not shut itself down, instead of tht it restart itself ... anyone facing such problem?
