wallpaper Q? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, how can i change my wall paper on the htc sense loading sceen, im running omega v4 rom with cookies tab editor cooked in. cheers

The "loading sense" wallpaper is just your wm lockscreen wallpaper. There is no separate wallpaper for the "loading sense..." screen.

ok in laymens terms how do i go about changing it?

The lockscreen wallpaper? Scroll to settings tab, click "Personalize" at the top of the settings list. click "Lock screen wallpaper". (Message pops up about default - click "No") Then pick your wallpaper from one of your albums.

i have tried the above and that doesn't work, and anyone familiar with the omega rom will know the prehistoric wallpaper i,m on about, when the "launching htc sense" screen comes on. Thats what i want to change as well as the my home screen and lockscreen, i have tried the normal settings way ie personalise way but nothing please help it must be through the cht settind or something?

Download widget locker from market it has a variety of lockscreens and extras.
Mod the lockscreen without root? Nah... you root access to replace system files.

if you are not rooted, most probably you will see two lockscreens.
anyway, lockscreen alternatives are; widgetlocker, lockbot, lockit etc......
Does anyone know how to replace the standard lockscreen on a rooted stock 2.2?
I have Widget Locker but now and again the original screen pops up and it can be a bit of a pain sometimes.
Thanks.

in my opinion, the reason you see 2 lockscreens is because of android system 5 second rule. any lockscreen other than stock one, will have to wait 5 to initialize. however, in widget locker you can bypass this rule. turn on home helper option in behaviour, and make sure 5 sec bypass is checked. if it is unchecked, check it.
hope it will help.

This is an issue with htc sense roms. on aosp roms like cm6 or cm7, the original lock never shows up with the 5 second root bypass rule activated.
Try Lockbot Pro..it has a variety of Lock screens to choose from like Eclair style, iPhone, Froyo etc....it shows up only one lock screen though..and you ve an option to unlock the screen using any hardware button not just power button, nifty feature
For not visualizer 2 lockscreen you must use no lock

[Q] Home Screen Buttons

Hi! Honestly I've browsed through and have not found any specific information for this question, so I just made a new post. I am wondering if there is a way to modify the default buttons at the bottom without using a launcher? I used ADW and GO and it seems to really slow down my phone even though i'm not really running a lot of aps. I do not use a text message modifier or anything just the launcher and a default skin. I am using the Ap Animated Widgets instead of the default box by box. I am wondering if there is a HTC Sense modifier instead of having to use a complete "home make-over Ap" ? I hope this make sense. I just want to clarify I'm not talking about a theme.. I'm talking about changing the default buttons i.e the arrow up, phone and personalize button that stays at the bottom if you are just in the default HTC launcher. OR if there is a trick to running a launcher without it absudly wearing down the phone. (i.e aps are slow loading with the launcher but without they are fine.) Yes, this is for the HTC Thunderbolt on VZ. Thanks!

^^there's some skins for your phone. That may be the thing you didn't want. But if your trying to change the functions of the dock bar, you can try this.

If you don't like that, you would have to have root, or go with the replacement launchers.
You can make your phone run faster by altering the animations, smooth scrolling, 3d app drawer, etc.

[Q] Changing Icon Sets

Hey everyone. I was wondering if there was a method to change the icon set in Touchwiz 4.0 (yes im rooted) to something else other then what they have as stock.
And furthermore, ARE there any icon sets out there? I saw a couple of cool looking screens in the post your screenshot thread, but i'm not sure if that was because they were using some different launcher.
Thanks,
diabolical
I am also interested in this. I really like touch wiz ui and all the features but i strongly dislike the childlike icons. Is there anyway we can change the icons without changing launchers?
I was wondering if we can have the
HTC Sensation XE Lock screen (with the circle to launch)
on the Samsung Galaxy S ll
The HTC lockscreen is cool. Just get the app Agilelock. It duplicates it perfectly. Only issue i found is right when you install, it pops up a message that you cant read, unless you can read some form of chinese. Hit the right button. The left button will download something.

They probably used a theme (with a custom launcher). I think launcher themes change entire icon sets. Other than that, idk.

[Q] Lockscreen wallpaper removal?

Hello, I could swear I saw a thread about this a couple weeks ago, but after over an hour of Googling, here I am! The problem is, I set a custom wallpaper for the lockscreen, but when I wanted to remove it so I could see the homescreen wallpaper, I couldn't figure out how! I found via google that there should be an option in the "display" menu under settings, but there isn't!? I have been browsing around with root explorer trying to find where the system stores the wallpaper, but haven't found anything, other than the homescreen wallpaper under /data/data/com.android.settings/files/ or something like that. Any suggestions?
Was this the thread you were looking for?

Well, just tried clearing data, all it did was set the lockscreen wallpaper to the default samsung one (yellow with blue top). I even uninstalled it, still no luck. And by lockscreen I mean the one that shows up when you have no password. If you have a password the homescreen one shows up like I want, but I don't want a password!
Yeah, I'm in the same boat on this one. That other thread was mine. I never noticed that if you set it to a lock it shows the home wallpaper until you mentioned it.
Maybe you could try clearing the cache and data of twlauncher and see if that helps?

Already did, no luck.
How does one turn it back on the Galaxy S?
From what I have heard is that on most android devices there is an option in the display menu of settings, but there is no such option on the galaxy player! I have asked for a settings.apk on the gt-i9000 forum, but have yet to get a reply. I guess if we really want it off we may need to do a factory reset!

Oh, thank you! Unfortunately I have a 4.0, but perhaps the settings.apk for the 5.0 will work for the 4.0. Let us know how it turns out!
Solved!
Download widgetsoid (a great app, btw), make a new switcher in the new widget menu, go to "shortcut", click "application", check "all activities" and go down to and add "wallpapers". Save the widget, you now have a shortcut to access wallpaper (including lockscreen) settings!
Don't forget the thanks button!
Hi.can you explain how you did it?it is a little unclear.Thank you very much
First, do you have the widgetsoid application? If so, long press on your homescreen and press "add widget". Scroll down to widgetsoid switcher (any size will work). Now in the configuration menu, go to the "shortcut" menu, at the top there is an "applications" option, select it. A list of your applications should appear; press the menu button, there will be an option to "show more actions", select it. Now scroll down to the "Wallpapers" and select it. Apply your settings, then you should have a widget on your homescreen that is a shortcut to your wallpaper settings that were previously hidden.
They updated widgetsoid, so my previous post is outdated, btw.
I got it!Thank you very much.i hit the Thanks button
Confirmed working on the US 5.0. That app is very tasty indeed. Thank you very much.

Wallpaper help

Why does it ALWAYS crop my wallpapers, even the factory ones too. I can't find a setting that will disable this and my wallpapers look like ****. Does same thing on aftermarket launchers too.
Some have had luck with certain wallpaper apps and launchers being used in conjunction. What works for me is using an app called "PicSpeed Wallpapers." Download it and then go into your gallery. Find a picture you want as your wallpaper-> menu> set as-> PicSpeed. Here you'll have an option to have it scrollable (doesn't work for me), vertical, or horizontal. Horizontal makes them look like "normal" again. Kind of an extra step but worth it. Hope this helps
My wallpapers look fine. You shouldn't have to use another app. There must be a setting somewhere. I don't think that is standard.
I seem to remember something coming up the first time I opened the wallpapers, but didn't read it and accidently clicked the "do not show me again" box. Any way to restore the wallpaper settings to stock?

OK, I think I figured this out. If you long press on the screen you can pick wallpapers and that is how I always have done it. Now the other way to set the wallpaper is to click the menu button (the physical button) then click wallpapers, then the type of wallpapers and when you select one it gives you the resize option. So play around with that and you should be good to go.

Do you have any other picture management apps installed?
Ive tried both ways and I always get the prompt to resize the wallpaper to the truncated version.
Ive also tried ADW launcher, quick pic, wallpaper wizardii. Nothing seems to work. No scroll. Very annoying.

My guess is that scrollable wallpapers lag this phone so bad that they just disabled it in the kernel. The GPU in this phone is way underpowered for the screen resolution.
adw launcher has always had this issue...had it with my streak as well. i talked to the adw dev about it and he was aware of the issue but couldn't fix it as he didn't have a test unit (and probably didnt want to be bothered with it). i assume other launchers would have similar issues (due to landscape transition sizing)
always used a live wallpaper or found a higher res patterned picture that could be cropped without too much pain.

I'm totally stock and rooted but I don't get the resize option on the screen long press way. Strange!!
No matter how I choose my wallpaper, it does this. If I choose a wallpaper I downloaded for 1280x800 sometimes the orange box is the size of the entire pic and it looks great. But it shouldn't do this with the stock wallpapers.
Something else, If I set the wallpaper during Go launcher and then switch to TW the wallpaper will resize itself and looks perfect.
