XDA Ortbi 2 Change startup screen

[newera]

HI all,
New to this forum.
I got an XDA Orbit 2 and I am trying to investigate its features. Can someone tell me how I can change the Windows mobile screen to make it more user friendly such as showing waether, missed calls etc.
I found some apps on this forum but I did not know whether I could install them on my mobile.
Possible I want apps which do not change the bootloader.
It already has touchflo installed.

Thx

with touuchflo installed you should have weather features installed.
however, if you would like to change touch flo design, you can install applications like HHC(htc home customizer) and probably Touch Settings.
You will find this apps using search feature of this forum :)

HI,
The today screen is like a normal windows mobile screen. So I was thinking of changing it to something more nice.
In order to open touchflo I need to slide my finger up, so basically the today screen does not show all the things in one place.
The most important thing is that anything that I install should be uninstalled easily so if it does not work I can uninstall it wo problems.

Thanks

Hi Newera,

Not everyone will understand what you require because the touch cruise comes with the HTC home plug-in as standard and they don't realise that O2 have their own version of the 'today' screen.

I have an Orbit 2 from 02 and I have a nice working setup.

The version of the HTC Home plugin you want and which I know works with the Orbit2 is:

HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.Schen

Other versions of the plugin will not have a working brightness tab and the weather may not be able to download and other shortfalls but I can guarantee this one works on the Orbit 2. Just search the forums for this file and you should find a link to it.

Should you have problems finding it, send me a pm and I'll mail it to you.

Once you have the cab file you put it on your storage card and install it from there and soft reset your Xda. You can then set your tabs as you like them and adjust what appears on what remains of your today screen to your liking.

I also highly, highly recommend downloading slide to unlock:

S2U2-1.05-WM5

It's a fantastic programme and much better than the standard lock feature on the Orbit 2.

There's also a much better HTC calculator interface:

touch_calculator

Do a search and you should find them on here easily. Again, if you have problems, just let me know.
