I've been trying to get a custom startup working on my HD2 but it only goes through 2 stages, not 3.
I originally had my carrier screen (o2) and then an Orange Windows screen, then Manilla would load.
I have looked at all the settings, even installed BSB switches and Advanced config. All of these settings say the Animated startup should be active and should include the sound but I still only get the same 2 .Png files show. The .gif listed in the config never shows up.
Just wondering if this is deactivated by default on o2 phones?
even so I would have thought a registry edit would fix it.. yes I've checked the reg too and the Value is set to 1
I'm confused as there is nothing else I can think of or find by scouring the web to get this working.
?
Where is the animation? If it is on the SD card, try moving it to the phone memory and do a soft-reset.
I hope it helps.
you need to put the animation file into a cab. It wont instal itself just by putting in the windows folder.
Also, do you have bsbtweaks installeD? maybe the 'animation off' tweak has been activated.

Now ive taken the plunge to WM6 ive lost the softkeys program that let me change what programs were attatched to the two 'buttons' at the bottom of the touchscreen - anyone know how and where i can change these? Kinda got used to them being CoPilot and Coreplayer instead of Calendar and contacts...
There is a control panel applet which allows you to control the softkeys. Attached to this post. Just copy it into windows folder at your pda. Maybe you need to soft-reset your pocket pc
Thanks for the great applet much better than the original in WM5 - was a bit worried when nothing happened after I put it in windows folder but when i went into settings it installed so its all good.
Anyone had success at completely removing the bottom tray on an 8525 running the new WM6? Not just removing the battery & wireless icons, because if you install other programs that don't let you remove the icon, than the tray still appears again, unfortunately.
The Wizard fix of deletely the int_tray (something like that) from the startup folder doesn't work, as there is no file like that.
Use regedit to find HKLM\Init and the entry is launch92. Just remove it.

Follow this. It works fine.

Nope.

...this link talks about the SOFT KEYS, not the bottom tray (where things like battery monitor & wifi icons are)
hklm\init\
....there isn't a value: lauch92
there a bunch of others, but it goes from 80 to 98...
Do This:
Removing today screen tray
\HKLM\init\Launch92: Delete
Just checked on my Vario II (TyTn) and I have no Lauch92 to delete either. I have Launch70 (connmgr.exe) and then it jumps to Launch98 (TimeWizard.exe).
Can you confirm what is in the Data field for the reg key you are referring to? I have 2 columns: Name (which has the Launch## bit) and then Data which appears to refer to the actual exe that is run. Perhaps on the TyTn the Name is differnt to that on the Herald (your linked post)?

No idea for remove bottom icon tray?
Anyone with a Hermes have success at this?
I installed it today and everything is fine except I lost the icons on teh "audio profile tab" - vibrate, no sound icons etc..
have you tried changing the icons from within HHC?
Copy the related icons from Windows folder to HTCHome folder on your phone and then do soft reset (Power off-On) this should resolve the issue.
I think Ive had enough with HTC 6 Tab + customizer. Because of the icon issue, I decided to uninstall the 6 Tab cab and just use HTC customizer Ver 1 to change the clock of my stock HTC HOME plugin. After rebooting, it wouldnt pass the pin code area and had to do a hard reset :-( It was uncalled for and I was unprepared. dang..
I want to change the Clock of the HTC Home to Manila theme style "flip" any1 know how to do that without the customizer?
Here is a few snap shots of my Trek. Ill include any cabs i used and i have a few useful registry tweaks also.
I Have the 3125 from Cingular. I have more program memory than the other variants of this phone. Any tweaks or programs I mention worked fine on my phone but you may enounter low memory issues due to the size of some of the installs.
Pimp Your Startrek based on WM6.1 Professional v2
This is a tutorial on how I tweaked my Star Trek to near perfection.
System Volume Tweak
This gives your phone an overall additional boost on sytem volume. It works great sometimes you might have to reduce you volume a down 1 bar because it does get loud. Clipping and distortion may occur. I was satisfied. I didnt notice much distortion but think it also depends on how your music is mastered and what format.
Navigate through your registry and change the following keys.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN\EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED set value to 72
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioGain\CODEC_GAIN_EMBEDDED set value to 00
The Comm Manager is a variant of the one use on the Kaiser (Tytn II or Tilt). The gradiance on some of the buttons because the 3G button and WIFI Button had to be omitted and it threw the natural order of the buttons off so thats why the shading is off but it works great. If anyone can post a fix for it please do. I had to use an additional program called (CM Settings) to remove the extra buttons. Ill include the cab in a later post. It can be removed once the change is made.
Cabs
Attached to this thread are the cabs i used to accomplish what is in the above post.
Theme Install
Unzip and drop the Vista theme in your Windows directory on you phone. Navigate to Start\Settings\Today and change your theme to Vista Black WM6
Audio Manager Install
Drop the Audio Manager Cab on your phone or storage card and install as usual. I installed on phone. (Works with no known Issues)
Touch Dialer Skin
Drop the Wizard ReTouched Dialer Cab on your phone or storage ard and install as usual. I installed to phone. Soft reset and you should have a new dialer.
Touch Calculator Skin
Drop cab on phone or storager card as usual. Install to phone. Open Calculator and it should be skinned like the Touch Calculator.
WMP Touch Skin
Unzip files to a folder in your desktop. Open that folder and select all and copy. Navigate through active sync to the path of \Program Files\Windows Media Player on your phone and paste the files there. Then open up Windows Media Player on your phone it should open to your library hit the back button it will take you to the player. Go to menu and select options navigate to the skins tab and you should be able to switch to your new theme by selecting the arrow button.
HTC Home
Do the usual drill in copying it to your phone. Install program to the phone. This installs the 6 button Home plugin. This is the older 1.5 plugin in so the weather tab is not functional until you modify the dll to update from the new server. Only bug that i found is that the brightness toggle and screen rotation locked up the phone. But i used the HHC program to customize the plugin and I omitted those buttons and replaced with programs i frequently used. I will post the tutorial on how to get the weather working (FOR US ONLY)
Install the Home DLL Patcher. This will update the HTC Home program to update the weather from the new servers. Then open the HH_0409_WeatherCities.zip and unzip it to your desktop. Open the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file in notepad and you will see a line like this <city name="Carrollton, US" loca="30117" land="United States" />Copy this line and paste it directly under the line you copied. This is the line that you will modify to add you custom city. Lets say I wanted to add ATLANTA GA as a custom city I would change it to be like this <city name="Atlanta, US" loca="30331" land="United States" />
The loca="30331" is the zip code that you will replace with your own.
The city name="Atlanta, US" is the the city name you will replace.
Once you add your custom cities. Save the file. Take the file you saved and place it in the windows folder on your phone and soft reset you phone. Now when you configure your HTC home plugin your city will show.
The Comm Manager is a replacement for the Kaiser but since our phones arent technically a smartphone anymore but they are viewed as Pocket PC by software installs we can use this updated Comm Manager. Put the cab on your phone and install as usual. Soft reset is recommended but not required. Now that the Comm Manager is installed next install the CM Settings program. This program will allow you to remove and add buttons on the new Comm Manager. It has a small foot print but you can remove it after the mod is made. Open CM Settings. It will say something like do you want to use an 8 or 10 button Comm Manager. Select 8. Using Fake Cursor navigate to the left side of the screen and select the middle Comm Manager it will turn GREEN. Navigate to the right side of the screen and select Flight Mode, Phone, Bluetooth, Mirosoft Direct Push, Data Connection, Ringer, Active Sync, and Wireless Modem. Deselect anything else like WIFI etc (You done have MS Direct Push installed but its kinda filling the last space on the Comm Manager since it is an 8 Button one. Otherwise it will give you an error message when you try to apply without it. Go to menu and apply settings. Select no on applying the default settings. You will get a confirmation that settings were applied. Exit out of the program and open up your Comm Manager and you should have 8 Buttons with MS Direct Push greyed out but all other buttons should work flawlessly.
More cabs...
More cabs... Yeah I could zip into one but im not at home.
UPDATE: I added SRS WOW HD driver. This is just icing on the cake for the volume registry tweak. Adds loudness and clarity. This version has the normal stuff but has an added input and output gain control. This helps with any clipping issues with internal speaker. The good thing is that it works with A2DP right out the box no registry tweaks required. It made my Jabra BT620s sound like studio headphones. I keep it on the head phones setting all the time even when using internal phone speaker. But when not using A2DP keep the SRS Center Effect below 30-40% this seems to control how loud the internal speaker gets. Any higher it sounds like garbage and you may risk blowing the speaker. Change everything else to your liking.
Added new Startup splash screen to match today screen. Drop the welcomehead.96.png into your windows folder.
Will add a new external display backgrounds. (screen that appears on the external display when the phone is open) I have one that will have the vista bars on the external screen but it gives the phone a look like your looking through the phone to the main screen. Kinda weird and creepy. I also have one for the htc logo that appears during the boot process.
Questions Comment Suggestions Welcome
good one.. would try it tonite...
This is really cool, but I have two questions:
1. Installing the dialer changed it in the regular OS, but not during PIN entry... any remedy for that?
2. The comm manager looks really weird, but you mentioned that... however, it doesn't seem to accept D-Pad / keyboard input... is that normal?

Hmmm, I can't find a version of the HTC Home plugin that doesn't terminally crash my install.
I've tried the one attached here, Schens, the older v1.0 but they all eventually (30 seconds or so) freeze the device and it needs a hard reset to get it working again.
Any other reliable ones floating around that you know of?
yup it freezes device. But u dont have to hard reset it. Just power off as usual, turn on again and QUICKLY disable htc home in settings. Is there any fix?
Please help!!!
Hi i just flashed new official rom: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
released on 11 oct 2010 by htc. There is no longer screen setting in the options menu?
I have located in the registry under GUI where to place the entries 1 folder called Font smothing and one called clear type but what entries do i need to make to enable them both?
100. Enable Align Screen Calibration in Settings
Certain US roms or custom roms do not have the screen calibration option showing in All Settings, System, Screen. This allows you to tap on crosshairs to calibrate the screen. To enable it just use the registry tweak below:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen and change from 1 to 0.

Yes But even then font smothing is not visible, that was only availiable through the quick preferences-screen not in all settings screen in previous roms
just dont want to have flash back to an old rom then back just for these settings after spending most of a day re-installing programs back on and changing settings to find these two missing.
where exactly was the font smoothing setting? i don't think i've ever seen anything labeled like that. just cleartype which says "smoothes the edges of screen fonts"
reg for cleartype is....
create the registry branch
hklm/system/GDI/CLEARTYPE
it doesn't need any keys or values, the branch existing is enough to turn on cleartype
hklm/system/GDI/CLEARTYPE already exists yet is not activated so how do you enable it? what entries need to be made in this folder?
font smoothing setting is also under hklm/system/GDI/ the same again this entry exists what entries need to be made in this folder?
in cleartype settings is only offonrotation
some apps require cleartype turning on within them. resco explorer for instance. scan your registry for "cleartype" there are a few hits.
Update half way there
Managed to get cleartype working in all progs and enabled thanks to another forum,
Just now need help to get font smothing working
how you did it?
How you managed to enable clear type in new rom. Pls help i cannot.

nothing else goes in that folder, the folder itself is all that is required to tell winmo to use cleartype. (At least thats how its supposed to work, thats how it works on non 3.14 roms)
