New builds always makes an upgrade worthy...
If it's a new build, then (most of the times) there is updates to it's apps, then it must worth something more.
And cooking is just a thing that we must and need to do. THEN, come new builds. Come to dady...

<Item name="Additional ROM tweaks for me" group="Tweaks" checked="True">
<Tip>Includes SDK certs, my home certificate and Taskbar icons.</Tip>
<PatchOEM>52dcbada-7234-4ee7-b513-731176d5f860</PatchOEM>
<PatchOEM>a15620ee-f541-454c-99d4-ee268d67e74a</PatchOEM>
<Guid type="p">ffffffff-3eb0-4f01-8f7c-d8ee6db5541d</Guid>
<OEMDate>4/19/2009</OEMDate>
</Item>
</Items>

Did I do something wrong here, like wrong location?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Items>
<Item name="Additional ROM tweaks for me" group="Tweaks" checked="True">
<Tip>Includes SDK certs, my home certificate and Taskbar icons.</Tip>

<PatchOEM>a15620ee-f541-454c-99d4-ee268d67e74a</PatchOEM>
</Item>
</Items>

This did it right here. Even took my modules!

Order doesn't (or shouldn't) make any difference. Is what you posted exactly the non-working and working versions?

Yup. That's all I did. I cut to the two PatchOEM lines in the xml and pasted 'em lower. Then *BOOM!*, it worked....like a shammie, like a towel, like a sponge. What you see is virtually a copy paste. (I removed some personally identifiable info after pasting here on the forum.)

but is it worthy if it is slower or less stable?

Aaronpower, not as though it is any of my business, but you have 82 posts to your credit in which I believe you must have asked questions and gotten some answers, and in all of these helps you have not touch the green button in appreciation of the people who gave you answers?

I have learnt that two things hard for human to say, but noble if they say it, are "I am sorry" and "Thank You"

So if this hurts you, I am sorry, it wasn't intended, thank you.

Use Total Commander, go to your windows folder, scroll till you get to Titanium, use Total commander edit function to open the cpr file for edit.
Look for the items that show up in our today screen, they come as "Expanded" and "Condensed". The condensed is your focus here.

So let's take "favorites" for our example:_ scroll to FavoritesCondensed,
4th line there reads like this:

<Text ID="PluginLabel" Left="10" Top="4" Width="300" Height="34"> FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="18" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" InnerTextType="Resource" Text="chomeres.dll,1025">

Okay so the [InnerTextType="Resource"] has to be deleted, then edit Text as Text="Favorites" but hey, that gives you the internet explorer so you can as well write Internet there. So your edited line look like this:

<Text ID="PluginLabel" Left="10" Top="4" Width="300" Height="34"> FontFamily="Tahoma" FontSize="18" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter" Text="InternetExplorer">

So you do likewise with the remaining items and you can give them whatever name you want.

If you are going to use this info then pls hit the Thanks button hard. I dont know why but it makes me do more.

UPDATE TO ABOVE
Okay I see that people are using the resource above, it is not that tedious and you could back it up in your storage card, so every time you flash, you dont do this again you just overwrite the cpr by copying the one backed up to storagecard to the windows folder.

Secondly you could choose to have your text in different colors, decide what color items take on today screen [Condensed] and what color they take when they are highlighted in the titanium box [Expanded]

Like under "Time" for instance you have this default settings:
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF"/> so this shows the colors are of html base: so edit the color to what you want.
#FFFFFFFF = WHITE
#00000000 = BLACK
#FF0000FF = RED
#000FF000 = GREEN
#FFF00FFF = PURPLE
#FFFF0000 = DEEP-BLUE
#0000FFFF = YELLOW
#00FFFF00 = SKY-BLUE etc, etc.
Kindly touch the green button if you find this info useful. More to come.....
