Black version
PLEASE READ THIS:
What was changed:
- autohide call log and calendar
- 2 appointments with big clock, 5 with small
This modification MUST be installed directly on the DEVICE, NOT Internal Storage or Memory Card!
BIG thanks to:
- hallatore for the concept (CompactHomeScreen for TF3D 2.0)
- kimi_sae_ireba for the great Sense 2.1 VGA port and for sending me a decompiled script, without which this mod would be impossible to do
- 6Fg8 for m9editor - a great tool for editing mode9 files
- sztupy for luadec - a great tool to compile/decompile lua scripts​

Clean version has no arrows and dotted lines.

Reserved for future use.

This new homescreen really works perfect!
Running Gen.Y D2 R5 for diamond now. This works perfect together, thanks!

Good stuff Kamil.
This is heading in the right direction. Can you point me in the right place to move the arrow down a little and maybe display 3 or 4 appointments on the Rhodium's larger display? (Which Manila file?)
The arrow is right in the middle of the blank area on the Rhodium as opposed to your screen shots as its a bigger display. No real issue but would just look tidier on the bottom.
Also the thing that annoys me with HTC's new Sense is that the appointments don't show up unless they are one day away. Have you come across a way to possibly change that?
I'd like to know how you managed to decompile the scripts too. I gave this up as a bad job as I couldn't get the script to decompress beyond 51%. If you did it manually then it's out of my league.
Anyway, nice work.

---

thanks
This was much awaited

---

Thank you very much! How about remove the arrow and extend the date of future appointments?!

---

no date on home now?
so in compact view (small clock)... the date is no longer visible?

---

I'm glad you like this mod, guys!

I'll prepare a cab for WVGA later.

Nope, it's the same as in Manila 2.1, where I was trying to make it work for a loooong time...

LuaTool copes with most of the scripts, except of the big ones. I've got one decompiled script from kimi_sae_ireba (thanks again).

The first point is easy, but the second is impossible for me.

By default it was not visible.

I've added a cab with a Clean version (no arrows and no dotted lines) and a test WVGA version.

---

wvga works great on blackstone with togger ROM and sense 2.1

---

Love the clean look. Very stylish.

---

Hi Kamil,
Is it possible to make it so I can use a picture as my background on all the tabs in this mod?
I'd also like to know if your mini-tweak which removes the border and what have you around the clock is compatible with this mod or will it override it?
Cheers
p.s. Is there any easy way to change the font colour in Sense 2.1? With the lovely background I want to use I can't read the appointments. The font could do with being black.

---

In order to have Bg4AllTabs change this registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Tweaks.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000001
My mini-mod removing the clock background replaces the graphic file, so it's fully compatible
Regarding the text color, I'll upload a cab changing the font to black on the home screen.

---

REPORTING for me on my Blackstone WORKING PERFECT Im using the ROM from my signature
Thanks

---

I'm glad it works fine on WVGA devices
UPDATE Just before a while I uploaded a new version - Black - which features dark font colors on the home screen. Hope you like it.

---

Very nice mod, thanks for the hard work works on X1 WM6.1 Sense 2.1. (Mr Rusch's NUTS ROM)
However, it seems to slow down moving between Manila tabs - noticeably but not a lot.
The "standard" config on the x1 is to press the right hardware key to bring back the Manila home screen, from another tab or from just another screen. The Manila home screen does not return for me when pressing the hardware key: it does so eventually via Start/Home dropdown menu.
I uninstalled the cab without problems and the transitions are lightning fast again.
If this gives you a clue as to what may be causing the issue, I'll happily try other variants

---

Sorry, I can't support devices such as Xperia. The files I have edited in this mod have nothing to do with performance, so I'm pretty surprised to hear that. I only change the positions of elements, nothing more.

---

Perfect mod, working very well on my Touch Pro with latest EnergyRom (21xxx build with Sense 2.1), thanks for this!

---

Kamil,
Many thanks for doing this.
I have made a small donation for your effort. I wish I could afford more as I appreciate the work you have done on this more than I can afford to spare at the moment.
Have a beer or two on me...

Thanks very much! I'm glad you like my mods
