The quickest way I found was just to reset the rom. Behind the battery cover next to the sd card is a little red button, push it with a pen/tooth pick to re-boot your rom.

6tab home on niki

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?

HTC Home Battery Level Indicator

I just installed HTC Home via HHC. Very nice today plugin, I had never used it before. Is there a way to put a battery level icon somewhere on the today screen? Is there one in HTC Home? I wasn't able to find it if there is.
Thanks,
Jeff
p.s. I am running DCD 3.2.5 if that matters at all.
Vista Hide Battery Gauge
Unzip this and Put this executable in the Windows \ Startup, folder.
It'll place a sweet multi-colored battery bar on the top of your screen when you restart...and there it will remain.

Thank you. I was hoping to find something that sits on the titlebar on the today screen and any running programs (next to the clock). I have been unable to find anything. I found a program called Batti last night, which is very similar to the one you mentioned. It works pretty well.

SmartMonitor* can do this. Many themes use it for RAM, GSM and battery level indications.
* Hope Proper doesn't mind if I link his site.

Thank you. I installed the cab, but I don't see anything. Is there supposed to be a setting or something that I need to configure?
Thanks,
Jeff
I personally like a program called Quickmenu. It will not only give you a cascading start menu but will alot show the battery level in % format but will also display available RAM. All dont in 2 lines in the top right corner of your screen. It will aslo free RAM aswell as give you a shortcut for soft resets within the menu.

I was just looking over the screen shot of your today screen, and you have the 1X icon, the network strength icon, the ringer icon, and the battery level icon. How did you get that battery level icon? That is the one I want, but it seemed to have gone away when I installed a DCD rom.
I have a clock in place of the battery level.
Jeff
you can either use the hhc settings or go into the registry and change hklm software/microsoft/shell and change the value of showtitlebarclock.

That is what I was looking for. Thanks. I can't believe I missed that setting in HHC.

Remove clock on top bar
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=0 (disable)
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 (enable)
When you remove the clock it will replace it with the battery.

That's where I got it from. I will attach the zip file with just the HTC Home images. All you need to do is copy them into your windows folder.

[Q] Help - lost enlarged scroll button + Sense background

I went to Settings/Manage Applications/Remove Programs and removed several listed items, which I thought just related to unused colour schemes, in order to free up some storage memory. However, I now find that two unintended changes have resulted.
1. The main one is that I seem to have lost the enlarged scroll button that previously appeared when I tapped the right-hand side of long windows. All I have now is the default grey slider bar.
2. The other, less important, is that after the screen display times out and I press a button to restore the display with the 'slide padlock', the background has changed from the original Sense colours to a plain 'gradient blue' background. This is not inconveniencing me at all, but it would be nice to restore the original background.
TIA.
i think both problems, especially the FIRST one, can be fixed by simply going to Windows Mobile Settings->Home and choosing a different theme...click OK...and then repeat the same steps and NOW choose the stock HTC theme (don't know what its called! sorry!).
after all of the above, set a wallpaper from Windows Mobile Settings->Home, check the box at the bottom that says "Use this picture as the background" and select a file. after this step, set a home screen and lock screen wallpaper from Sense. if you use CHT (cookie's home tab), you will get even more options and control over your wallpaper.

Many thanks for your reply. Your advice got me on the right track to resolve both problems.
I went to Settings->Menu->All Settings->Today and changed the theme, then repeated the sequence and changed it back to 'HTC Black'. I then chose the 'Items' tab and changed the checkbox from 'HTC Sense' to 'Windows Default' (ignoring a warning not to move away from Sense). Then I repeated the sequence and changed the 'Items' checkbox back to 'HTC Sense'. This seems to have restored both the Sense wallpaper and the enlarged scroll button.
Thanks again.

[Q] TouchWiz 5 Home Screen Dock problems

Hi all newbie here and did a few searches and tried to look for help but could not find right info, also I hope I am in the right spot to post so please feel free to tell me if I am not in the right place. Currently running ICS 4.0.4 up-to-date at time of writing on Vodafone Australia but I don't think the country of service provider is the problem. I have a problem with my 'Home Screen Dock' NOT THE 'Lock Screen Dock' I can change icons on the lock screens no problems, All the help, forums and videos on changing the 'Home Screen Dock' Icons say to simply drag, drop[ and replace. All i wanted to do is change the stock "Internet" Icon with Chrome. Dragged the internet icon of and went to drag the Chrome one on but I can't as instead of the dock staying visible like on some videos it changes to the Delete Icon option. Cant find settings please help. Also I do not want to use a 3rd party launcher. I tried Apex and do like it but I use widgets and can't use widgets as my phone is not rooted. Please help arrrgghhh. Thanks in advance.
PS . I just have a blankspot where my internet Icon use to be.
Go into your app drawer.
Menu>Edit
Drag the Chrome icon down to the dock.

Thanks for your reply but I have tried that...the dock area only changes to for different Icon that you can drag your chosen icon onto in order to perform a function. these are from left to right "Create Folder" "New Page" "File Info" & "Delete"
Have you tried to hold on the Chrome Icon in the App drawer and put it on the home screen, THEN drag it to the empty space on the dock?

Yes I have and I get then get the same options expect it has text with each one i.e. *Icon with text"Create Folder" * *Icon with text "New Page"* etc
Has to be a step you are missing. I just tried it and it's working fine.

THanks for your help.... OK so here is what I do.
1) Unlock -> touch App Draw Icon. (Icon that says Apps with 16 little white squares)then I am on my last page/screen where I have a lonesome Chrome Icon.
2)Then I touch the Menu button (the glowing white button left of the physical home button).
3)Touch Edit (from the pop up menu *Edit with the pencil icon next to it)
4)The Page now has <::: Edit |Cancel|Save along the top of the screen under the notification bar. and no dock or anything at the bottom except for 6 . . . . . . white dots which represent my 6 screens.
5) Touch the Chrome Icon and drag downwards, but as soon as I press and hold the icon to drag at the bottom of the screen 4 icons appear that represent the function I described in my previous reply.
Please tell me I did something wrong. It should be so easy. Thanks btw.
1. Click on the App Drawer Icon
2. Press and hold on the Chrome Icon (that will move it to your desktop)
3. Now find it on your homescreen and press and hold it and drag it down to the empty space on the dock.
That's all there is to it.

Have you found the solution?
Hi,
I'm having the same problem, I was wondering if you've found the solution.
Also, since recently I'm having chrging problems with my S3 - sometimes it will charge, sometimes not - USB or Wall charger.
I tend to think these problems were introduced with latest software update.
I did factory reset, but problems still there.
Cheers.

TouchWiz used to allow me to follow the earlier procedure (it's how I docked "Maps" icon). This was back when I could also just drag and drop icons on the pages at will.
However there was an update from my telco (Telstra) and after that TouchWiz (as version 4.0.4) no longer allows changing of the bottom 'docked' row of icons. Even dragging and dropping icons generally is disabled it now requires use of the context menu to select "Edit page", first. The problem with that approach is that edit mode hides the dock row and replaces it with the icons "Create folder | Create page | App info | Delete". See attached screenshot.
So now I'm stuck with the useless blue-globe icon forever showing on my page, instead of being able to replace it with the very useful Chrome icon. Maybe Samsung did it accidentally (are they even the ones that develop TouchWiz?).
PS: If Micro$oft blocked the use of an alternate browsers, there would be loud screams of monopoly and anti-trust...
i to am also having the same problems, i am running stock Samsung Jelly Bean OS with a touchwiz home version 4.1.1. hope someone can find a way to fix this and to get our freedom back in it

Apparently this problem only effects Galaxy S4 GT-I9505
I found this solution:
you need to have root access (which is available on the xda forums)
you can unlock the dock icon edit function by going to /system/csc/other.xml and find
<CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode> TRUE</CscFeature_Launcher_ReplaceHotseatAreaInEditMode>​
Tried it using ex file explorer editor but nothing happened, restarted the device and the setting had reverted back to its original state, might have to do an adb push but the adb version I have installed is apparently outdated (keeps telling me the device is offline) so I'd need to update adb first
If anyone can give it a try to see if it actually works on rooted 4.2.2 with stock touchwiz, it would be really appreciated

Tons of thanks! :victory: Works great on GT-I9195T 4.2.2! Now, four left docked icons on homescreen could be moved.

[Q] Frozen split screen no settings icon

●●●●● I managed to get the settings icon back! I rearranged my icons a few times and put it next to one of my double clock icons and there it was! I did a factory reset. So far so good...... not sure what causes the problems below but I will leave this post unless a moderator wants to delete this thread for me ●●●●●
Hi all. Got a few problems with my Gear Fit... I want to do a factory reset but cannot! Honestly want to upgrade to a different smartwatch soon but for now I will have to work with this. I am disappointed in lack of apps that work with this but I LOVE the touch screen and features it does have...
1. No settings icon to factory reset my device. Thought there was a physical reset button on underside which I pressed in with a pin but nothing happens when I do. I held it down too... maybe not long enough? Does anyone know how long?
2. When I scroll in one direction its an infinite loop. Does not even show home screen with clock on it most of the time... instead there is an infinite loop as in the same 3 icons show over and over and over as I scroll....
3. Sometimes when scrolling, part of the clock shows on left half of the screen and its stuck there while the other half scrolls. Still no settings icon!
4. Also when I use the Gear Fit Manager on my S3, it shows 2 clock icons which I can drag and reorder but it only leaves a gap in the icons on the Gear Fit itself... looking at it horizontally should show 3 icons across but it will show 2 with a blank spot where 3rd icon would be.... sometimes I can see the clock but most times I cannot.
I wanted to contact samsung about these issues through email but I cannot seem to get there. I dont see any choice for smartwatches and model number so therefore I cant seem to figure how to send an email to the correct department.
Hope I can reset and start over before I end up getting mad and throwing it across the room!
