After installing TomTom 6.03 cab on my Artemis, no matter what ROM version, the Comm Manager font changes to a very small size from the original. Any ideas how to change this font back to the original. Using mrfrazz 8 button comm manager for the Wizard, but this happens to every Comm Manager, once TT6 runs.
SOLVED: \Windows\Fonts folder had 3 weird font files inside, SIL true type fonts. these were deleted and the Comm Manager is back to normal. Tracking what program installed these files, ran TOMTOM 6 and the problem did not reappear.
how exactly did you delete the files? i get the 'file in use' error

I deleted them from Activesync. When I first tried with the activesync explorer the files were "IN USE" and gave a windows error, I soft reset the device and once connected to activesync, reopened explorer and was able to delete the files, looks super now.
I ended up moving the files outside of the folder (with Total Commander). Soft resetted and the fonts were back to normal. I then proceeded to delete the font files that were moved to another folder

I have igo8.3.2.x installed on my taouch HD,
but from time to time the short cut to the program cannot be selected (the Igo8 icon is replaced to white rectangle, i cannot uninstall the software and I need to delete it and install it again (whitch is not simple because it telles that program is still installed.),
can some one help me with this?
Try with total commander or Resco file explorer to go to IGO 8 folder, copy Igo8 exe and paste a shortcut in windows/startmenu/programs.
Then you can select it in the programs tab of Manilla
I installed the cab of tsowentaskbar6v2 in my HD (original ROM) and now i can't happen to uninstall it. it keeps giving me an error. and even if i try to install any other taskbar over it, there are still some "side effects" left from it. how do i uninstall it completely??? PLS HELP!!
Taskbar cab contain some protected system files, once you installed one of them you should not install others over it.
Solution
Give me the direct link to the cab which you already installed it and now couldn’t remove it, I will extract files and give them back to you then you should manually (using Resco explorer for total commander) move them to windows directory and over write them, after that you can uninstall the cab.
This is the direct link to download the cab file:

Yes you are right.
Uninstall any other cab which modifies task bar
Copy dll files to windows directory
Do soft reset
Uninstall tsowentaskbar6v2.1
I tried doing that.... but no luck. when i try to uninstall 'tsowen taskbar' it just gives me an error: "tsowen taskbar was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?" And even if i press yes, its still there. its just not uninstalling....!!!
I really wanna remove it now. it has also changed the icons for today, programs and settings in the start menu. any more ideas PLS!!!
Does no one knows how to uninstall this taskbar???
tsowen, why don't you only help me with this!!
Pls..!!
Sorry mate you've got 2 options, one do a "Hard Reset" the other install trail version of Sktools from here: http://www.s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html this excellent utillity has a better programs uninstaller then the standard window programs remover! this tool has got me out of similar situation in the past without having to resort to hard reset
I tried the Sktools, but it doesn't even show me the taskbar in the installed programs.
but in the default windows remove programs, its there. i even tried reinstalling the same cab again, but the installation fails.
Isn't there a way where i can just delete and replace the dlls in windows folder with original HTC ones. i mean we know the dlls that this cab replaced, now we just replace the same onces with original ones and delete any unnecessary files that came with this...!!!???

You did soft reset or hard reset?
Doing soft reset shouldn't cause that problem.
Anyway here is path to access program launcher in Touch FLO (reg)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLanucher
it was a softreset first , then i had to take the battery out
i found the solution
To create a short cut for program in your start menu or programs menu of device.
in your device - using file explorer, find "your program".exe - you should know where it is cos you created this folder remeber!
copy this file (shortcut)
now in your device using file exlorer navigate to the windows folder. open it. you will see a folder called start menu or if u like programs menu - simply paste the shortcut here, DO NOT PASTE THE FILE- IT MUST BE THE SHORTCUT!!!
Hi, my name is kostas and I recently become owner of a Blackstone!
After searching the forum about themes and how to create them, I decided to try and create one. That's when my problems started!
First I copied the windows folder from my device to my pc, then with manila editor I extracted the icons that I wanted to change and edit them in photoshop. After that, I replaced them to the manila files with manila editor.
When I tried to copy the new manila files to my device I got a message which says that I cannot copy them to the windows folder.
Then I used QuickCab to install the files from my phone but after the installation I started the TF3D and the old icons were shown.
What should I do to make this work?

If you used File Explorer to replace the files, most times it does not allow you to return them. The safest is probably to first disable TF3D (Settings\Today) and then use something like to Total Commander or Resco to replace the files in Windows. Soft reset and re-enable TF3D.
thanks for the advice. I'll try it and see what happens

Pleasure bro, hope it works for you. You can also look at HD Wall which allows you to create your own slider with your icons and then creates a cab for you to install.

Alternatively you can use Sashimi to copy the files to your Windows directory! But Total Commander should work just fine...
I tried installing Max manila on my TP2, but I must have used the wrong version. When the phone boots, it gets stuck at the "Touch here to launch HTC Sense" prompt.
I can get into the programs menu, but not into Settings. How can I uninstall this CAB if I can't get into Settings?
Tried looking at the original thread, but at 96 pages, the signal-to-noise ratio is just too low, and you can't find anything! Hence this new thread.
I really don't want to have to do a hard-reset!
if it is getting stuck at starting manilla you should still be able to click on the windows start button where you can get into the settings/home sections. From here untick sense and restart the device so it starts properly without starting sense. Remove manmanilla from remove programs option and then reinstall the working version.
Alternatively reflash your rom.

In WM6.5, there is no settings entry on the start menu. There must be a series of steps for deleting files and changing registry sessions that could be done manually if only one knew how.
There is a settings shortcut in WM 6.5, however in some roms the chefs have this shortcut pointing to the manila settings tab instead of WM settings dir. Obviously if manila won't load then this shortcut won't work for you anyway. Unfortunately I have no idea how to get that settings shortcut back on the start menu and working for you :/ You could use Total Commander to manually delete all of the files altered by MaxManila and then soft reset - your phone will then restore the rom's original files. There are a lot of files in MaxManila though, so it might take a while to hunt them all down. Use aiCabExplorer to open MaxManila's cab file and get the names of all the files to delete.

I tried renaming all the files and registry keys obviously associated with MaxManila, with no luck. I don't know how the files in the CAB get installed, but I searched for half a dozen of them and they were nowhere to be found.

Did you use Total Commander? File explorer isn't powerful enough to edit system files

TC for the registry, Resco for the files, but I have it set to show all types.
Well I've just checked - I can see and delete all of the MaxManila files in my windows dir except the homeservice.dll using TC. Don't know what else to suggest; there must be a way to get back the settings shortcut (?)
To get settings, change registry as shown:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
"HideSettings"=dword:00000000
