Visual styles

Greetings!
If someone is interested in having a HTC visual touch here are the files. Would be great if we can achive HTC TouchFlo effects soon

@eloger it will be pretty good if you give the screen shot. I used already HTC Kaizer Home plugin, it is very cool mate

thnx for the collection...

Cool!
Check this!
I found it here is some threads:
*Attached the actual Touch wait cursor
*Touch dialer (The one we used in the Ather ROM) (I think its also used on the touch!)
Enjoy!!!

Vibrating Phonepad
Guyz this was included in my Winodws Mobile 6 Rom..now im sharing it with u
Download the Attached CAB file to make ur PhonePAD vibrate when a number is inserted

This is the appearance HTC Home Plugin

I like most of the HTC plugin, but not the HUGE clock. Is there still no solution to shrink it down to make room for some more buttons or today items?
by the way, eloger, there are lots of solutions around to get more touchflo- and/or iPhone-like experiences, like:

There are more that I'm either not aware of or that I can not find at the moment, so please, if you know of similar programs, tell us in this thread.

There is free software namely HTC Home Cuztomizer, may be it can help to customize all appearance in HTC Home plugin. To change the style of clock is absolutely possible but I like big clock, so I don't try to make it into small size

Last time I looked into it, it was only possible to change the font, not the size of the clock

i ll check the registery..maybe it can be resized by it

That's why it's an HTC program. Why don't you use SPB Mobile Shell which is just the same?!?!?

very nice
works soo great on my kaiser
really appreciate it,thanks the guy from pxdxa~~
and i have a question:
i install your attachment,and just have the clock and msg,no green icons~
the green icons on your screen(the quick links?) are htchomeplug, right?

yep, you need to go to the settings - today - and there is one more tab - plus! - where you can setup what you will see or not. just setup it here

It's interesting, very minimalist compared to the HTC Home. I wish they would have added Tab support as in the Home plugin, so we could switch to contact photodialing, quick launch etc.
The existing quick launch along the bottom is nice, especially being able to add any program to it (and drag icons to re-arange their order). But it's only one line, having to click on an arrow to scroll through them. Expanding it to display more lines, or perhaps even the entire screen (if needed) would have been nice.
I'll be sticking with HTCHome for now, maybe use Plus! to add 1 row of quicklaunch icons and not display the clock/mesage indicators.

(unless I am misunderstanding what this app does):
Just to let you guys know, your Kaisers should already be pre-installed with the Quicklaunch icons (with one additional for backlight) prior to installing this app. Go to "settings>today>items". Look through the list and check the box next to "HTCHomeplug" (Not htc home). The only difference is the icons aren't green.

ee, i do not agree. thchomeplug is someting different from this. icons are smaller then on quicklink and you can not customize it..

disagree

you can customize htchomeplug search for either the thread started by me or search for registry under kaiser upgrading and you can customize the new htc tray app using the same registry keys

yep, already found that and it was posted HERE

the problem that i find with this home plug in is that the quick link to the txt, mms and e-mail are all liked to the same main page of Messages, not individually like the htc home plugin v.2... can you fiz that issue, or can any one fix that??

HTC Sense: Can it be changed?

Searched (here and google) but couldn't find an answer. If it has already been posted, I apologise.
I just got my HTC Hero and I'm adjusting quite well from the change from WM6 to Android (used to have the HTC Touch Pro, aka the Raphael I think) but I was wondering whether HTC sense on the Hero interface can be changed (e.g. clock, colours) or if there are skins available, like there were for WM. Just to be clear, I know there are loads of apps out there (OpenHome, aHome etc) to change the normal interface, but they all seem to be focused on the Hero without the Sense interface. I want the Sense interface, but would like to change the analogue clock, the colours etc.
Thanks in advance!

No you can't really do that at the moment.
But there are several widgets for clock, you can change the background and the lock screen. Or you can pu any widget that you want instead of HTC's

haven't seen those either, not for Sense anyway, do you maybe have links/names of those apps for me? would really appreciate it! thanks!

Photo Clock is a good one. It has about 10 different faces, including 2 or 3 where you can choose a photo or your own pic as the base background for the clock. Just type clock into the market... All clock widgets for android can be used "for sense" - you just dump the HTC Clock widget and load one from the Android Widgets section. That goes for all android widgets.
I'm assuming you know there are 13 different clocks on the HTC Clock widget for Hero?
Daisy

No, I didn't know that, I've only had it a couple of days and did look around on the phone for ways to change it, but I don't seem to be able to find it (I realise I'm sounding like a complete noob now, but oh well). The Photo Clock app sounds good as well, will have a look at that if (after someone has been so kind as to help me locate the different styles for the standard app) I don't like them.
Thanks for helping me out with this!
edit: I just found it! power of posting I guess It was under HTC-widget and I'd only been looking under Android-widget...Now I think about it, not too smart...

So you're sorted? Its not that obvious tho I have to say, as the options for screen widgets only come up when you choose them, so unless you dump one then reapply, you don't see them.
On all HTC widgets there's a little number (1/12) at the bottom saying how many options for views there are for that widget - some have loads, others only 1.
Also check out the SCENES - I only just got round to seeing those - they are like template arrangements of screen widgets that you can switch to and fro between, and also gives the option to save different custom arrangements.
I have one with links to all my porn and a photoframe with naked men that I have to quickly turn off and swap for the business one with the classy blue world wallpaper in case the hubby sees.... (kidding...)
They look seriously useful but I've not had a full mess with them yet. It was VERY simple to pop back to my own eclectic Scene set up tho

HTC sense 2.1 and HTC sense 2.5

So I am moving here from Raphael Section and I have a doubt that I could not clear by searching through Rhodium and Topaz forums.
What is the difference between Manila 2.1 and Manila 2.5 or as HTC wants us to call it, HTC sense 2.1 and HTC sense 2.5?
Is the home screen weather (the one with full screen clouds, snow etc.. on a full screen layer) available in both?
Thanks

I'd also like to know this as I've used 2.5 and not overly keen on all the changes.

yes, both have weather animation on the home screen. 2.5 has more detailed animation but is slower, 2.1 animation runs a lot smoother i found.

thank you
I will try 2.1 first.
I think 2.5 might become more optimized once HD2 matures.
Anyways, last few days of reading has landed me with following list.
1) 2.5 has widget themed home screen. i.e. clock, calendar, shortcuts are made to look like widgets. However, they are not as configurable as Hero or SPB shell.
2) 2.5 is social networking centric with support for twitter, facebook, footprint, youtube uploading, etc.. 2.1 has just facebook integration.
3) 2.5 has landscape support for audio, gallery tabs which has cover flow inspired from iphone
4) HTC says that sense 2.5 has deep roots in the ROM and is not just a today's screen plugin. I cannot confirm this in cooked ROMs as i haven't got my Pure yet. But this is what HTC said in one of the HD2 previews.
5) 2.5 is designed for 1GHz processor and thus might be too much for our 528 Mhz processors.
6) If you are not a twitter user and don't quite use your phone for playing songs, go for 2.1. It will always be more stable than 2.5 on our phones. HTC designs it with our phone in mind.
I might be wrong with this list.... and it won't be the first time
Thanks.

Yea I've tested some various builds before starting to cook my own and I like the 2.1 version. It feels like normal Manila but with the animated homescreen which is a nice touch. Manila is MUCH better on a WVGA phone vs the Raphael's VGA screen (too cramped).
My favorite build was Dutty's and had a nice simple black background. I like things simple.
Manila isn't bad, but I HATE how EVERY part of the screen is clickable and takes you to an app; especially the HUGE clock. I always end up launching apps I don't want. I guess Titanium is the same way but it has a tendency to scroll before actually clicking, so there are less app launches.
That plus it adds like 60mb to a rom (wtf).

ah thank you

I take the above stated, to ask if the 2.5 Manila have weather fullscreen animation with other background that the default one. I didn't found ANY possibility of having personalized background's with the weather fullscreen animation in 2.1 - at all. Anyway, I guess that is supported by the 2.5 Manila version.
Can someone confirm this, please.

Yes, with manila 2.5 you can choose between 2 options:
Weather Wallpaper
Animated Wallpaper
The weather wallpaper lets you choose any wallpaper and the animated weather will work with it, in the whole screeen, bealtifull but slows the Topaz to a crawl.
The animated wallpaper just do a kind of glow bottom to top, behind the clock and links of the first screen, with whatever picture you choose.

Thanks for that info.
That's what I need - weather wallpaper in 2.1 Manila.
I'm so desperate....

guys, thanks for the summary

How to get rid of the flip clock completely

Hello - I've searched far and low. It seems everyone except for myself love the huge clock. I hate it whether it flips or not. I don't even want a clock on my home page. Does anyone know of any app that can make this clock go away and give me more real estate on the home page?
Tried WAD2, but crashes too much. Infinity also crashes. Used SPB for about a year, but bored and hate the bottom icons.
Thanks for any direction...

Just swipe your finger up through the home screen, the flip clock will gone, replaced by a (much) smaller clock.
If you hate the bottom icons in Spb, you can try ShellExtension that can hide the bottom icons on the Spb, or the naong MobileSense that can replace the bottom bar with HTC Sense (in HTC Android devices, for example : HTC Hero), (HTC) Espresso, or Omnia

.
vtmorp i agree with you i flip the clock up i prefer the small one if only there is a setting to have it by default flipped up

flip clock
My old phone used sense 2.1 and the flip clock did flip up into a smaller clock. This one does not. Using sense 2.5 2012 so maybe that's it, but my last rom had sense 2.5 1911 and it also did not flip up into a smaller clock.
Oh well - back to spb with some tweaks. Thanks.

u can try use Maxmanila. It support the big clock, flip clock, digital clock, or no clock.

Many times if youre not satisfied with the big clock nor you wanna install a new clock by searching for cabs, why not revert to the Windows Default Screen??? Depending on what rom youre using....
Start/Settings/Today
Look for the Item tab, un-check HTC Sense or HTC Manila
Check Windows Default
And well.....heres a more simpler style too your phone, no more BIG CLOCK.
I guess just try different approachs......

You can use some of the tips/tricks/files in this thread (most will work on VGA phones) -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589227

try
checkout the cookiemonster home tab mod, if you swipe up twice you remover everything but a tiny clock at the top and you can see your background

Yay - no more clock!
Thanks Overjjrk! The cab worked like a charm - the awful clock is gone. It is definitely a preference matter - I just don't get why I have the time in the upper bar and then this HUGE ugly flip clock taking up all that real estate.
