Add a Comm Manager Tab
Adding the Comm Manager tab is pretty easy, however, there are some limitations to doing so. Specifically, the text is always BLACK at first (which doesn't work well on the stock background). There is a hack to change the font color, however, it also changes the Settings > Sounds font color as well. This means that changing it to really bright colors (like white) doesn't work either. I'll link to the font color hack and let you choose whether to implement this one on your own. Here's the code you need:

Add the following code to the file: 090661f7_manila

     <trans-unit id="IDS_COMMUNICATIONS">
       <source>Comm Manager</source>
     </trans-unit>

Add the following code to the file: 26948339_manila

     <Page Order="9" Name="communications.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_COMMUNICATIONS]]">
      <ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\settings.mode9" Component="CommunicationsPageComponent" SmartComponent="true" />
      <ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Settings_Communication_Off" />
      <ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Settings_Communication_On" />
      <ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Settings_Communication_Preview" />
     </Page>

Just be sure you change the Order="9" to use a number that's not already in use which may involve scrolling through the file to check.

Add a Calendar Tab
OK, this one seems a little pointless since it literally only adds a calendar that doesn't do anything. For now, I'm going to link to the plugin for those who want to try this out. If and when this plugin or another plugin is available that offers signficant functionality, I'll update this section.

Use Flip Clock Instead of Digital Clock
In order to install the Flip Clock you will need either the White Flip Clock or Glass Flip Clock packages below. Once you save the file, extract the files in the package and copy them into the \Windows folder on the phone. Oh and by the way, if you like the Glass Clock, I do recommend using a mid-to-light color background so the numbers show up (or just replace the number graphics yourself using Manila Editor).

Of course, you can always change your mind and revert back to the Sprint Clock at any time by using the SprintClock.zip package.

Glass Clock:



Enable Background on All Tabs + Flip Clock
In order to enable backgrounds on all tabs, you must be using the Flip Clock. No one seems to have gotten it working with the Sprint clock yet. That said, all the existing packages floating around also require you to install things in sequences and all sorts of nonsense. My package does not... just unzip all the files into the \Windows directory on the phone, and soft-reset (or disable TouchFLO3D from Start > Settings > Today > Items).

Again, the packages are available in White or Glass in the attachments below. Also, you can revert back to the default setup at any time using the SprintClock.zip package.

I am having a major time with this. I downloaded the glass with background and unzipped it to a temp folder on my laptop. I can not move these files to my phone though. Everytime I try I get the message that they already exist and do I want to replace them, when I chose replace Windows tell sme I do not have the authority to replace these files on my device. Any suggestions? I really want to try this glass clock and am getting pretty frustrated with it. Thanks!
