wich rom have you?
wich procedure have you done?
Hi im not sure if this is right ROM version - 1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE
and i have installed this following progs black dialer, finger keyboard, black calculator, flash player, HD tweak, crystal mail and music.
plz advise.... thks...
i understand that you have go to start/settings/today and use this picture as the background and choose image from your device or storage card?
yes but it could not work.. any idea how can go about this without activating the hard reset?
i have the same problem... :/
just rename the wallpaper you want in the existing one and replace,reset.
Where is the default file located, and what is it called..?
Just go to setting if you are using touchFLO, on the menu that slides below and choose wallpaper (home wallpaper) select no whe it ask to change default wallpaper and choose your picture, don't go to today or change wallpaper from the picture viewer it doesn't work, this problen is not fixed in the original rom.
Bye...

as far as I remember changing it on today would only be seen if you can see the today screen and with TF3D running , you can't see it
TF3D is effectively an app that hijacks the screen so it's background is the one you should change
if you are using TF3D you need to scroll to the settings tab on TF and choose wallpaper there.

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Its not Wisbar Advance (Task), but Wisbar Advance Desktop
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota

hi Lucas,
the first image you attached is your today screen? we can set wisbar advanced dekstop as our today screen?
Yes indeed, but as a today screen where you have full control of what to put on it!

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!
Hey,
having a little prolem with the blackstone.
cant change the "Today" wallpaper if i try to do that from the folders that are on the SD, why is that?
i have the option of "use as todays wallpaper" but when i press on it nothing happens...
i can only change the wallpaper if im trying to do that from the TF3D tab option..
any ideas?
happened after i installed Blackmagic...
i tried to uninstall it, and still the same..
also, when i choose to put the Default Wallpaper it used a totally black wallpaper, not the original one that came with the HD.
i guess the default wallpaper file was changed somehow?
The "Today" screen you are referring to is the Windows Mobile one. However, if you are using TF3D, then that is a different "Today" screen. We'll call it the HTC Home screen. If you were to disable TF3D you would see your changes on the Today screen. But to change the picture on the TF3D Home screen, you have to do it through the settings tab.
I don't know why it is using an all black default picture. On mine it uses the one that came with the HD.

I don't think there's a way to display the homescreen paper on your apps page, start menu, messages, settings, etc, etc. There is a way to change the background picks for them though. You have to replace some files on the windows directory. There are also some reg. mods that you can do also. Here's the thread.

Hi guys, this is my first post, firstly I wanted to thank you all for your great advice that I have been reading over the months.
I have applied a wallpaper to my home screen a while ago but I fancied a change. I came to change it start>settings>today then the use this pic as a background tick box at the bottom. I loaded a pic onto the HD from my PC and tried to change the wallpaper to that one, but it won't, no matter what I do it stays the same. I don't even get the default HTC black one back.
I have a stock HTC rom, can any one help? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again
Go to Settings-->Wallpaper (in the settings manila tab).
If the picture is in your My Documents\My Wallpapers folder on your phone the pictures will then show up. If it is stored elsewhere eg Storage Card, select the More (left soft button) and browse to where the picture is saved and click on the photo you wish to use.
You are wanting to show the picture on your TF3D Home tab and not on the Today tab.
Thanks very much for your reply, sorted now, a simple oversight on my part, I feel so stupid!

Hi all,
Is it possible to set multiple backgrounds at the Touch HD with original ROM?
For my home screen I want to use one wallpaper, for all the other screens (email, weather etc) I want to use another (transparant) wallpaper..
Is this possible, and can anybody tell me how to do this?
Argh..
I've read -somewhere- that this has to be possible... But can't find it anymore!
Does really nobody knows if it's possible to set another wallpaper at your home tab than on all the other tabs??
yes, you can use one background for your home tab and a different one for the other tabs. you can install a background for all tabs and then select a wallpaper for just the home screen.

find the background you want to use for all of tabs, install it and then use the Manila settings to set the wallpaper for your home tab. have you taken time to explore and understand your device? i ask, because this is a simple, easy and straight foward task.

Thnx. I understand my device quite well.. But really can't get this done.
I use the 'background for all tabs CAB' which I've found somewhere overhere. When I use this, the wallpaper I choose is set on all tabs.
When I install a wallpaper, I go to the 'settings' tab, choose 'background' and choose an image overhere.
Where can I find the 'manila settings' for my home tab, to choose another wallpaper for this tab??

I've got 2 .jpeg files. I want one of them ONLY as wallpaper on my home tab, the second .jpeg I want as wallpaper on all other tabs...

Tried it, but it gives white blocks on my TF3D slidebar..
Too bad, really can't get this done..
When I post the 2 images overhere, is there someone who can make a cab to do this?
It should work with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730
But still can't get it done..
Who can help me, please?
