at this time i do not want to use something i am not happy with, and if i can not get the sms and the mms in the same folder then i prefer to use the seperate folders. also with manilla, it just has one folder for everything so it makes it hard to do a mms message.

I then went the that post on xda and copied all the settings for the xml file and updated it. NOW, I have the second tab back with icons but its continuously updating and wont stop lol.. Would you happen to have the original HTCHomeSettings.xml file maybe that will fix my issue. IDK

Edit: I was able to fix the problem in the xml file so all is back to normal. The one thing is I still cant change the theme or it messes it all up. Any suggestions or has anyone else had this issue?

I can get you the orginal HTCHOMESETTING that i use. that way you will have a copy of it, I never tested chaning the themes so i am unsure about this, if i can find a way to do it and have ti work everytime i will let you know.

I figured out how to make the second weather tab work with another theme. If anyone is interested this is how I did it. I'm sure there is an easier way but this worked for me.

1) Back up current theme in M2DC.
2)
a- With total commander go into windows>themes you will find the backup you just made and rename it to "originalbackup"
b- (optional) copy originalbackup.m2dct and go into program files and create a folder called M2DC. Now put all your .m2dct themes in this folder and when you have time direct M2DC to that folder to add all the themes in it. This just keeps things clean.
3) Go into settings>today and disable touchflo.
4) Take new theme files and put them in the windows folder or the m2dct and put that into the new M2DC folder you created.
5) Go into settings>today and turn touchflo back on. (now when you go back to your home screen some of the tabs will be messed up. This is ok for now.
6) Go into M2DC and create a back up of the current theme (the new one loaded)
7) Now go into M2DC and add the originalbackup.m2dct and apply it. (You will now notice your second weather tab is not there)
Reboot
9) Go into settings>today and disable touchflo.
10) Take attached HTCHomeSettings.xml and put it into your windows foler. You may have to overwrite the original.
11) Go into settings>today and turn touchflo back on.
12) Reboot
13) Back into M2DC and choose the backup of the newer theme and hit apply.

You should now have your new theme with the second weather tab

In my theme to make things cleaner I copied-
hh_fw_bigicon_weather
hh_fw_tabbg_weather
hh_fw_tabicon_weather
Then I added a 2 to look like
hh_fw_tabicon_weather2.png
Disable touchflo again and copy those three files to the windows folder and now they all look uniform

I am using this theme here.. Here are some screenshots. This whole thing was much easier than it seems

yes you will be able to go right back to sprint that will not be a problem at all. that is what so great about this community and windows mobile phones. No matter what you do, someone is there to help you, and you can always go back to the orginal rom, to fix any mistakes you might have.

Hey con, I was wondering if you could tell me what the "pagepool" is and iv been reading about "D3D" drivers installed on custom ROMs, but I dont really understand what that is either? could you explain please?
