How to get HTC Home Screen for AT&T Tilt?

I want the HTC Home Screen (with the big clock and shortcuts) on my Tilt. Where can I find it? How do I install it? Will it mess with the AT&T ROM?
Thanks.

here you go sir. im only giving you this one because the 6 button version always seems to put my phone on vibrate when i dont want it. so heres the one that works. it will not mess your phone up. install to the phone. enjoy.

Thanks
Thank you very very much!
I've never done this, how do I install?

Move the .cab to your phone - use File Manager on your phone to browse to where you put the file - run the file by clicking on it

I installed the cab, but I dont see anything different...do I need to change any setting after installing? Will this give me the weather on the Today screen?

reset the device
reset then go to settings, today, items, and select the correct plug_in.

I did that, and have the HTC plugin checked...just wondering what im supposed to be seeing...anybody have a screenshot?
What about the weather...How do I get that?

Yeah here it is,
Ignore the watermark, couldnt find a handy/free screenshot
anyway for weather, if you want your own city its another story.
There is one good tutorial for that on the forums, just have to look
*edit whoops images didnt go through, let me crop them

Just select a different theme for the today screen.

I want to try this on my new AT&T Tilt. But can it be uninstalled? In case I change my mind? In the past, I downloaded one of the HTC Home Plug-in CABs from this site, and I had to hard-reset to get rid of it...

quick question, what plugin are you using to show the state of the connections (phone, wifi and bluetooth) ,I don't recognise it

WIRLESS TODAY PLUGIN
:] you guys should really try the cabs duttythroy put together

HTC Home with Contacts
I downloaded the HTC Home cab listed in this string and it appears to work just fine. I need to tweak it (i.e. - add more cities to the weather file as well as add the programs on the program screen), but what I really miss is the Conatcts screen ... the one where you have 9 pictures that are one touch dialing in that tab. Does a .cab exit for HTC Home with the four tabs instead of the three?
I ran the 6 button on and 8125 and HATED the fact that it arbitrarily changed my phone to vibrate mode. But I'd really enjoy the contacts tab.
Thanks!

Battery Bar ...
I also downloaded the .cab listed in this string for the battery bar in the header (for lack of better term). I placed it on the phone and ran it, then the phone rebooted ... nothing. I executed the .cab a second time, was told the previous version would be uninstalled, it installed and rebooted again ... nothing.
I picked the QVGA version of the bars, not solid. I may try solid next but I can't imagine that would correct any issues. Just wanted to post that it didn't work for me.

Post your today screen.

-Make a list of used programs when you post a screen
-Post your TSK background.
* Programs to make screenshots:
-Pocket controller
-Ilium Software Screen Capture Free.
* To upload pictures you can use:
-Tinytube
Or you can use the picture funtion of the forum, only they come out very small.

Well, most of that is SPB stuff...I'm running their Mobile shell which is the top row (with other apps on each tab) and SPB Diary which shows my daily agenda, lets me read emails, etc. from the Today screen.
The phone profile buttons are PocketZenPhone. These gave me more options than the SPB Phone Suite, and I had high hopes for it, but I just ran into too many problems, and had to take it off. Going to try PhoneAlarm next...

Went Black with my 8525 and will never go back!
Plus Journal Bar and Today Panel Pro.
The Black Theme is attached below as well as the fix to restore the top and bottom bars from Gray to Shiny Black.

Hi! I tried PocketZenPhone, but I can't get the home plugin to work..
I believe it would be usefel, since probably you can switch from diferent profiles using your finger, without the stylus.
I've instaled everything just right, but I don't have the option for the home plugin in the "Today screen" settings..
Any ideas?
Thks!

here is mine
changes often...

Did you install the right plugin? There's several components, the base PZPTools module that runs the profiles and can be assigned to a button. And then you can choose to also install the Today, Menu and/or Task modules.

Photocontacts Pro lets you change profiles very easily. That and the picture contacts on your homescreen is pretty sweet.

How do you take a screenshot of the Today screen?

Thanks man, great app.

Wow, excellent app. Credit to JUVS again. Only issue with it is the app opens in landscape mode, but the way for a Hermes, not a Kaiser. It's "upside down" on a Kaiser. Any way to adjust that via a setting? But still even with that, I've already replaced my Pictures Album shortcut on the Start menu
EDIT: NVM, I guess the intent is to view it from the same landscape mode that you would use the camera. Again, its not a big deal, just a little counter-intuitive...I'll deal with it either way. This is very slick stuff...

Dude, i just installed this and all i have to say is THANK YOU! for sure the program of the day installed to my phone

the program works inconjuction with the camera, if you camera is set to save photo to memory card, all photo from memory card will show up, it doesn't matter whether has create multiple folder.

Great app but i can't see any text in the options menu and neither in the slideshow settings.
Is it because i got a French UI ?

*EDIT* Here it is for those who can't get rapidshare.

Every day this just gets better! Thank You! Great app! AEB mapped it to double tap of the Camera Button

Since the help file is missing here are some tips
when viewing a picture
---------------------------
make a full BIG circle clockwise will zoom in a small bit
make a full BIG circle counter clockwise will zoom out a small bit
make a full small circle clockwise will zoom in a lot
make a full small circle counter clockwise will zoom out a lot
dragging left to right goes to next picture
dragging right to left goes to previous picture
press and hold brings up to pan so if it's zoomed you can move around
single tap brings up a menu
all that I've figured out so far

open the program, and click open one photo, you can either tap the screen twice or just press the center button in the d pad to bring out a menu, press the letter I for more info on how to rotate, zoom and change photo.

I got it for the way it works, but when you say that the help file is missing, is there any way to find it or get it back from another HTC ?

ok, wich version do I need on my english elf, the 409 or 419? Thanks!

MUI 0409 is US English, so that's almost English
Attached is a more comprehensive list.....in case you ever wondered

Would I need to rename the cab file ? Will it work if I do so to have the help file and the text for settings ?

Kaiser Options

Hey fellow Kaiser users,
I'm currently using the Tilt, with Dutty's touchflo rom. I have a few things that I was wondering whether or not can be done within the device. Can these be done? If so, how?
1. Setting TCPMP as default player within the HTC Home Plugin to be able to control the next and previous options from the home screen (assuming just using it for audio purposes) or use a skin on top of TCPMP that looks similar to that of HTC Audio Manager
2. Set S2U2 to startup with device so that you don't have to select it in order for it to run. If this is not possible, is there a way to change the items included in the quick launcher, so that S2U2 or some other program can replace some items included in the launcher?
That's all I can come up with right now, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and by the way, Dutty, your custom ROM is awesome, glad I found it.

I can't help you with TCPMP but if you use a program like Battery status it will give you the ability to set up a tray launcher which will allow you to set up s2u2 there which is what I do along with some other apps. Heres a picture of it in the middle it gives you meters you can set up at the bottom is the tray launch.

For tcpmp, to set it as default, go to options>settings> slect page>file association> check all that you need. Exit the program. Reset the device. and you should be good to go.

I've set all the file associations within TCPMP, but this doesn't set it within the HTC Homepage Plugin and allow you to control it from the homepage. If I could get this to work, it would be awesome, but it may not be possible. If that's the case I guess I'll just have to use TCPMP's not-very-aesthetically pleasing interface. . But I can deal with it, it works, so I guess that's good enough.

The HTC Home plugin only works with Windows Media Player or HTC Audio Manager.
S2U2 loads up fine for me after a soft reset. It can be selected to be used in the Home Plugin in the normal way or assigned to a hardware button or soft key.

For some reason mine doesn't automatically load after a soft reset, I have to either launch the configuration tool or the application itself in order to use it. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to, or exist a theme similar to the appearance of the HTC Audio Manager?
Thanks for all your help everyone!

You should be able to set it to come on by defult with "S2U2 Setting" (most likely found in your "system Tools" folder). Make sure you have the faollowing set to ON:
-Start on wake up
-Start on backlit off
then click:
-Save
-Yes
That should do it.

Does anyone have HTC Enlarge Start Menu 1.1.31503.1 [UPDATED] CAB file

It's build in some new ROM's like Artemis Touch 4.02 WM6.1 WWE ROM, 5.2.19199 (Build 19199.1.0.0) (Full, Lite and Vanilla), SHAP’S ROM but I can't seem to find it seperate as a CAB file. Since the old one isn't working for me I was hoping this one would!

Anybody ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

nvm. its the old one..
i might find it..

i have something better for you

Do you have a screenshot of this in action. I installed it and I havent seen anything different with my start menu. I am using the shipped att tilt rom. Is there some kind of setting i need to activate?
nevermind

Hey Haam1978
Thanks for sharing! This is a good alternative to the htc enlarge start menu. But how can I turn this on and off? If I press the .exe file under my programs it starts to run but I can't turn it off again or I can't configurate it, there is nothing in settings either???

hii everyone
sorry for beeing late to answer

after instaling the cab file you will get an icon in your program list run it then it works
to stop it you need to restart your device this is the only way i know
if you want to make it start up with windows move the icon from your programs list to startup folder in the windows folder by using any explorer software like resco or total command
it will start up with windows automaticly

Perfect tool for my htc cruise.
I have a problem whit my italian wm6.
Programs (programmi) and Setting (Impostazioni) into menù don't work.
Can you help me?
gianluca

This really rocks very well on my hermes with wm6. And basically total stable. Reason for unexpected closing the pogram is when switching to landscape mode (slide out keyboard), i guess this version is not for device which can change to landscape or the one who made the cab deleted the landscape...png file. Does a landscape version exist?

hi haam1978,
does a version with landscape mode exist? where did you get the program? maybe i can search/ask there

I have this one (unknown version) and it works great in portrait or landscape mode. FWIW, I'm using the ATT 6.1 ROM.

i´m searching for a touchstartmenu.cab wich works in landscape mode. On my Hermes with WM6.0 it closes with an error when I slide out hardwarekeyboard (error: cant open file....no certificate or some components not found....blablabla.......)
HTC-enlargestartmenu.cab (and allother variants out there) are different programs. Seen screenshoot at post #7, then you see wat I´m talking about.
To Haam1978:
Again , where you have this cab from? (Touchstartmenu.cab) maybe the developer of this cab can help

Hello
I downloaded and Installed touchstartmenu
It works, but only on the touchscreen!
When I press Star menu hard button, it's still the old one.
How to make it appear on both hard key and touchscreen?
Thanks.

Well, Ive got 2 versions:
the first is normal Enlarged Start Menu, and second one is Enlarged Menu from Manila2D.
Well, I cant really find the second one right now.
