1. Yes, look in these forums for the HTC stuff, think its a sticky. Just cabs you install to get the htc today theme and HTC Home etc.

2. Not going to answer that one ;)
3. Search using google for S2u2. That is the slide to unlock app that is freeware for your device. It works well on my TyTN2.

Kent in the UK and yes mine is an orange provided one, although the ROM is now the HTC one :) and unlocked with my O2 sim in it.

right i dl the aplication but where do i put it on the phone

[mgdew]

which app are you referring too ?? the HTC Home or the S2U2 ?

I believe both are .cab files, so you would need to setup an activesync connection onto your pc with your phone, then you can explorer your phones disk and copy it from pc onto the phone (somewhere like my documents). Once the .cab files are installed on the actual phone, using the phone goto the file explorer program, navigate to where you put the files and click on the respective one once.. it should trigger off the install of the relevant software. follow instructions on screen and then they should be installed.

HTC Home is a Today plugin which you can access from Settings/Today/Items. S2u2 is accessible to configure from the Settings (can't remember if it was personal or System tab) but you should get a s2u2 folder in one of them. you can go into that and run the app to set it up..

Its worth mentioning I find it useful to do a restart of the phone after installing apps to make sure all these links appear.

p.s if your phone borks because you isntall these I take no responsibility :)

cool just got the htc home to work :)

looks so much better than the orange one

right time to work on the next one

[aaronwillis]

i have had a good look on this forum
and wanted to know how i can edit the htc home screen
i wanted to change the icons to the ipone ones
im sure there was a programme i can use for tht
also the s2u2 i have read bits on it not working very well
just wondered if its all fixed now ?

[mgdew]

s2u2 was pretty stable on mine when I used it (removed it as it blocked my SPB time alarms I set).

to customise HTC Home you need, HTC Home Customizer. Just google and you will find it.

[aaronwillis]

that is a good programme the htc customizer
any others people would suggest ?
i have been looking for tht background they have on the ipone
the fish in the water one
