Hey,
I want to disable the function to change the today background.
You find it --> Start -> Settings --> Today -> Use this picture...
I want to disable the text AND the Button "Find" - so that the customers cannot change the logo.
I don't find the right key in the registry.
I use Windows Mobile 6 with the latest HTC Flash.
Who can help me?
Thanks and best regards from Germany.

No ideas?
because i've got two other problems.
1.) I want to delete the entries in the list of installed programs. So that the user cannot delete the program. Is it possible? Or can I protect it with password?
2.) We created a background logo, at the bottom it is white.
When the menu has got more than 5 entries you can not read the menu well.
Because white font over white background.
Is it possible to restrict the entries of last used applications to X entries ?
Even if there IS a way to do these things...
...it's quite evident, even from the site on which you're posting, that you will not be able to lock down such changes. Anyone who is so motivated will be able to get past anything you do, simply by flashing a new ROM, if not by other means, dontchathink?
-pvs
simple answer, you cant.
Actually, it would be semi-possible. Jasjamming had a bug in an early Black edition where he baked in his background rather than had it running in the initial setup. End result was you could change your background in the menus but it couldn't change what you saw as the backdrop files were marked as "ROM" so couldn't be changed.
The only way to install a program without it showing in the Remove Programs list is to bake it into your custom ROM installed on the phone.
However, when you've gone to the time & effort of making this ROM that cannot be customised, what's going to stop someone using a ROM from this site instead of yours, or using the tools here to modify your ROM and remove out the bits you've tried to lock down?
My advice? Don't try to lock anything down on your phone! The beauty of Windows Mobile it's ability to be improved & personalised. Let it run free!
Hi,
the problem with the list of installed programs isn't a problem anymore
I made a ROM with the ROM Kitchen und put the cab File into the ROM.
My first solution was to delete the uninstaller from the CAB with WinCE CAB Manager. But i want also to change the colors of the menu and things like that, so i made an own ROM.
So, you are right, the users could use programs from here, but, we want to "brand" the phone with our company logo, because the users should be awake that the phone is a COMPANY Phone and not a private toy
So now my last two problem are, that our company logo at the bottom is on a white ground and the menu has got a white font color. So i want to change the number of menu items or i want to change the color.
Does anybody knows the concerning files for the colors in the ROM?
The second is to disable the possibility to change the wallpaper.
It would be great if someone could tell me which files i have to change.
Thanks a lot and best wishes from Germany

The problem with the start menu i solved with Tweak UI.
But the problem with the possibility to change the background is still existing.
Where i have to look? In the registry? In the files?
Its only a windows, it must be possible to change this option...
Finally found the post I was remembering where someone had accidentally set a theme permanently.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1252607&postcount=276
The theme was usually set during the initial customisation following the first boot up, but in this case JasJamming had tried to save this step by baking it into the ROM - with the result that you couldn't change theme. Sorry I can't give you any more info on how it happened (don't know!) but JJ or someone else on here with a bigger brain than me should be able to help.
Hey Stu,
thanks for your answer.
But i have allready only one theme. The problem is that the users can change the 'today-background' easily. Our company logo wouldnt be on the background.
I think this is a forum with a lot of pros! But the right one has to find my thread, please
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Use your theme on a phone, copy out the stwater and tdywater files,then cook these into your ROM and flash onto the phone. As the stwater and tdywater files are set as "ROM" the today-background changer won't be allowed to over-write them so the user will not actually be able to change the background - hence your company logo will always be there.
Good luck, and don't forget to change the start-up screens too - maybe a nice portrait shot of the Managing Director?
i was installing some widget locker themes and somehow managed to get myself in a situation where .zip files open with rom manager without asking. i went into the applications menu to clear the defaults for rom manager, but they're not there. i can't figure out how to clear the default so i can open this file with widget locker. any suggestions?
A possible solution.
Sorry for resurrect an apparently dead topic, but I think that someone else could be suffering with this, just like me.
I've found a "Default App Manager Lite" (and Pro) for Android. Just search for this on Market... err... Play Store! ;-)
Perhaps the only app to do something about this problem.
Hope to be useful!
Regards
Please put all questions in their places. Aka Q&A
1st question: Where the downloaded themes are stored? I have found that the default 6 themes are stored in system/themes with the extension.hwt The downloaded?
2nd question :Can i modify a theme by using my icons?
I think there is a program of huawei with which you can make themes emotion ui.
Yes there is PC app called HiSuite. When you connect mobile to computer through USB, you'd get a option to install it on PC. Or you can download from huawei website.
If you rename .hwt file to .zip then you can explore the files also.
You can customize appearance of nearly everything of user interface as well as built it huawei apps although I'm not sure if all customization options are available on that HiSuite app. But its possible and there are tutorials on Chinese forums.

Ī¤hank you guys.I downloaded HiSuite and i will test it:good:
good one
Ok i modified some elements with emotion tool of Hisuite but what about the icons of the non stock apps ???
hisuite
hi,
You guys mention HiSuite (emotion ui) to modify themes, but isn't it so you can only make changes into huawei ascend D1 & a another phone? Because I've replaced the lock screen image trough this program (unlocking shows a ugly smiley) from the IOS7 theme. When i putted it back on my phone, it didn't show up the right way (can be my fault as well).
Isn't there another program to make changes inside existing themes?
The attachment shows what i've put in place...(btw you can't see the transparent stuff) 'g' i'm so stupid , someone can help me with this?
Bye!

Not all of these (or none) will work if you are on an AOSP ROM.
Hi,
I'm only seeing very few paid and free themes in Display --> Themes on my Android 9 LG G7 ThinQ LM-G710EAW . I see there are a few posted on the forums here that are available through Google Play. I just tried one but the fonts and wallpaper failed to apply. On my old LG G6 there were loads of themes through LG's official theme app. Is there something I've failed to do right ? When the theme app first started up it asked me to select a language (site as well?). I chose "Taiwan (English)". Don't know if that has anything to do with it.
If themes are all on Google Play that would be OK but Play fails to show any preview in search. Is there a site of collected themes somewhere ?
Cheers.
