Well I managed to do something and my background image got locked -- I can only change it by going to settings -> Today -> "Use image" -- but this forces 50%+ transparency on the image...
If I try to do it as I used to, Pictures & Videos -> Click image -> Set as today background (0%)... the background image does not change... If i have the waterfall background and i switch to pond at 0% transparency, my phone stays on waterfall with the default ~65% transparency....
I've been looking everywhere for an answer -- what causes this, how can it be fixed, or perhaps even where's the registry key to force 0% transparency from Today screen images?
Thanks for the help
Have you tried unticking the "use this image as background" option and then selecting another image in pictures and videos?
yeah, it goes back to the default theme background and the new image does NOT become the background -- not even with the crappy transparency settings...
I've tried all 4 themes that come with the phone, it all results in the exact same situation... I can change it if i accept the crappy transparency from the today menu.. but cant do it from other programs
the same thing happened to me with my wizard. I fixed it by going to pictures and videos and then selecting the image i wanted all the way down to 0%. Instead of pressing the OK button at the top corner, press it on your keyboard.
Let me know if that works.

Good catch, yup.. problem solved..
Perhaps it has to do with the "tap" vs. "Tap and hold" the X button setting... I did change that a bit before i started noticing the issue

why do they always turn out light? like if u make a straight black background and apply it to the today screen its grey?
Depends on how you "select" it as your background.
There are 3 ways:
1. Holding down the stylus on the image you want and select the option "select as background"
2. Going to settings > today and from there selecting a theme and select the option to set a background image.
3. Opening the image with a imageviewer application and going to options and make it your wallpaper.
Using options 1 and 2 will make your image 65% more lighter. You can't change it (i might be wrong).
Using option 3 you can select the whitning percentage (which at default is 65%).
This isn't just your Kaiser, but goes for all Windows Mobile devices.
wow that is really dumb. thnx for the fix
hi all!
just got myself a diamond yesterday after spending 8 months with a n95 8gb... overall impressive phone but coming from a dopod d810, i find the system status dialog/touchflow 3d interface extremely annoying!
how do i remove them???
system status dialog -> where you can click on the volume, date, 3G icons on the top right hand side of the phone
also anybody knows how to remove the functionality where you press the vol up/down and it changes the system volume?
Hard Reset the daimond. When it boots up after configuration and when it says 3 seconds to customize , press reset.
PS : Opera also wont be installed. you can download opera cab seperately
If it's just the interface, why not uncheck it from Settings>Today ? Or does it come back? Not tried it yet myself

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
start->preferences->system->TouchFLo
unselect third checkbox..
Allright .. that´t the way to disable TouchFlo...
but how can we get rid of the system status dialog?
(another way than soft reset before HTC customizing runs...)
thx alot...
one more here that is really seeking to get rid of that awfull system status.....
thats the only thing so far i really hated on the diamond
Doesn't my solution (3 posts up from here) work to disable the system status dialog window?
It works for me (MDA Compact IV -Dutch)
yes it works real fine, the problem is everyone still wants the touchflow 3d
we just want to get rid of the system status on the upper corner
Guys..
instead of the full screen system status, do U think I can get the original Touch/Cruise system bubble instead? It's similar to the full screen, but the icons are slightly bigger and appears on top of the screen in a bubble.
Any ideas?
I also find the system status page an unnecessary step. Coming from an Imate K-jam, I preffered just pressing on the icon at the top (alarm bell / envelope / handset etc) to take me to the pop-up bubble at the bottom of the screen where I could either enter open the inbox / call register/calender etc or dismiss.
I read somewhere that the system status page is to bring up large icons for finger pressing. I don't understand the logic of this as the only way I bring up the system status page is by pressing on a small icon in the title bar!
I would like to be able to remove this system status screen step
Why does everone ignores the answer already given??
* To disable the Systemstatus screen, go to Settings>System>Touchflo
* untick the third checkbox wich states (translated from Dutch): "Show Systemstatuswindow when ticked on statusicons"

The idea is that you don't have to aim so precise, just press anywhere near the icons and then you can take your pick by pressing an easy target.
Anyway I do agree with you that it is an annoying extra step, it is a good thing it can be disabled (see previous post).
hi
any idea why my elf does not have 3 options but only 1 "enable sound when finger scrolling and panning"
Is there any workaround to turn off the touchflow?
maybe it's because I was flashed the rom to an "original orange" version?
thanks

Same here, but I found this registry key that helped me (i really hate the big system status menu!) :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeTitleBar\Enable which must be 0 to disable it! You don't even need to reboot, works instant!
Ever since I updated the ROM, I really hate that big system status screen.
I thought I would have had to live with it, so I am very glad to found this thread.
Thanks guys!!!

i need help :/
sorry this doesnt really relate to the other posts i dont know how to post a message on my on. (just registered today)
But does anyone know how to change the clock on the title bar on the top of the HTC Touch Pro from a clock icon to the normal digital clock. i somehow changed it while on the phone and i just CANT figure out how to change it back.
If anyone can please help me i would reallyyyy appreciate it!
I have a problem that my phone pops up notifications - but they are blank.
The phone is a Kaiser/TyTnII ( Used to be Vodafone 1615 )
I am pretty sure that this phone has been flashed with one of the XDA ROMs as i have just done a hard reset and i still have touchFlo and a bunch of other non standard looking utilities on the phone.
The about box for TouchFlo says version 1.0 ( Build 1818.3719 ) which i am pretty sure having read all about the touchflo project for the Kaiser on the XDA developers is a version created here.
So now that i have given some background, back to the problem... pretty much everything on the phone seems to work ok. But the really annoying bug is this notification pop up.
eg. Set a calendar appointment for a few minutes in the future, set a reminder.
.... few minutes passes ... notification pops up
whole screen dims and at the bottom i get the soft buttons of "dismiss" and "menu"
No actual message is displayed on the screen.
Now i flip to landscape mode, and i can see the top left hand corner of a pop up message - the rest dissapears off the screen.
So, what have i done so far to help myself ?
1) searched these forums for somebody having the same problem/question X
2) tried some registry tweaks for specifying what message should pop up X
3) renaming the notification manager.dll X
4) looking at all the notification *.png screen images in the /windows/
folder and confirming that they are correctly set for the QVGA screen size. X
5) tried downloading the notification manager.cab for the rhodium - elsewhere on the XDA site. - would not install
6) hard reset the phone.
I dont actually want the touchflo as i prefer the spb mobile shell. What options do i have ?
Do i need to just apply the correct registry tweaks and all will be well ?
Do i download a new notification manager from somewhere that will fix this?
Do i have to re-flash the phone ? ( least attractive option to me )
Can i somehow uninstall the notification manager and go back to a windows
default version ?
thanks, you_were_lucky
Notification Manager - pop up window size ?
So some developments since my post yesterday, I tried some registry tweaks to change the font sizes.
I notice that if i tap the title bar ( next to the wifi icon) i get the notification manager screen up - this has all the correctly sized and formatted .png images and functions correctly.
It is the pop up that appears due to a calendar reminder or a wireless network found etc. that is all wrong
When i go into landscape i can see the edge of this and even click on the wireless network found radio buttons etc.
So i figure that maybe the pop up window sizes are all wrong due to some mad font size someplace. I went into the registry and tried changing font sizes down from 800 to 12 and this did indeed change the size of most fonts kicking arround the place. Unfortunately it did not influence the size of the pop up box.
Any ideas people ?
thanks YWL
I forgot to lock my phone before putting it in my pocket, and now I have one of the blank "Contact Favourite Silhouette" pictures as my background instead of the all black background of the normal HTC TF3D...
I have no idea how to change it back to normal. Can someone help. (I think I have tried all the obvious places.)
Thanks in Advance.
if you go back to settings-background it asks if you want to use the default background then you choose yes and its back to normal
Under settings, I have 3 tabs. Personal, System and Connections. I do not see background under any of them? Am I missing something?
you have to go to settings through tf3d menu, the logo next to the weather, there you will see settings, and background
Although I feel stupid for missing that I cant thank you enough. You have no idea how annoying it was looking at that horrible background. Thankd again !!
ahah no problem
Hello everyone.
I have not seen this issue discussed but hope that someone may have an answer.
Every now and then I will have the Fullscreen symbol (chevron) "stuck" in my taskbar/launcher when I'm offline. The odder thing is, is when I then go online and surf/download something the symbol is not there. So it's basically reversed. The only "fix" is to reboot.
Any ideas?
Cyanogenmod, nightly 221 at the moment (though I have tried several newer).
As a side note, this has also happened on my HP Touchpad w/ Cyanogenmod.
dl icon...
Its not a download icon. Its a soft button to hide the status bar
Sorry, but it's not. It normally displays when I open an IP camera, browser, etc.
For whatever reason it reverses itself at times.
Tapping it does nothing as it's not a button.
Edit:
Funny. I took a screen shot while it was on the screen, and it doesn't show up in the picture. All other icons/symbols show. LOL. Wth? I'll take a pic later and post it.
Edit: I re-read your post now. Picture attached with 7.1 download icon on the right, and what I assume is your icon you are talking about on the left. Is that correct?
No, that's not it. I get that one when downloading from the Market, etc. Thanks for the effort though.
Here is a pic of it. It's the far right lower (Chevron) one. Like two inverted arrows. Known as a "Chevron" as it looks like Chevrons (gasoline) logo.
It's got to be something to do with being online, browsing, etc.
Ahhh the mystery of it all.
It's no mystery. I thought that was it (I'm just using a different CM7 bar than you).
Go to Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Tablet Tweaks > Choose soft-buttons and tell me what you have selected.
Home, Menu, Back, Quick Notifications. That's it.
Only thing I can think of is the Fullscreen/Hide Status bar button. Comeone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm still sure that is what it is.
If you open an application that requests full screen (like Netflix or Angry Birds) and press it, does it hide the status bar?

I opened my IP camera app and pressed the icon, and yes, the status bar disappeared (how do I get it back?). But why is the icon showing when I'm not using any app? ie: like it is now.
So now when I open my IP camera app there's no status bar. I don't see a way to get it back. Probably something simple, but I can't find it.
~~
Confirmed that although "Home" is set to restore the Status Bar, it does not. Tried Volume Up, etc. to no avail. Something's buggy. Only a reboot restores things.
Also. Disable Full Screen is checked.
Yeah, looks like the hide bar to me too.
The field under;
Settings -> CM Settings -> Tablet Tweaks -> (Interface) Choose Unhide Button
Is supposed to allow you to pick a button to show the statusbar again.
--Edit--
Just saw your edit, yeah, I have mixed success with the unhide button too.
Not all applications request full screen if I'm right.
Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Tablet Tweaks > Choose unhide button
Most people choose the N button to unhide, then press it again to go to home.
Well I hope this helps someone else. I just found this old post:
"I had the same problem. Went into the ADW Settings menu and scrolled to the bottom and "Reset ADW".
I reset and all is back to normal, AND the home key now brings back the Status Bar as it should! Yay!
I wish I could edit the thread title to "Fullscreen" symbol weirdness, but I can't.
Thanks for the effort guys.

Sorry if my edits messed up the timeline.
There was a bug that I fixed by resetting ADW. Phew.
Thanks again.
