Hey!
So I installed the new official version of WM6 for TYTN and installed another theme. I have managed to change the background of the ordinary phonedialer by entering registry, but I still haven't found out how to change the PIN CODE screen which appears automatically when the ppc is turned on. It is still green. Anyone knows how to disable (with reg.edit) or remove/replace this background?
I have managed to change everything except this pin-code color.
Thanks a lot anyway!
Doing this via the registry is one option!
But it's dangerous.
You can change the theme in settings-today
This is the best option I think. Them's you can find all over this forum.
Thanks for the reply.
I know how to use the today settings.
The problem is that the background for the pin-code screen which appears when the phone is turned on doesn't change. It stays green. I managed to disable the green background on the dialer and the comm manager, but not the pin code screen background.
If registry editing is the only option, can someone tell me what to change to disable / change?
Hi. Can you share, how did you disable background in dialer and comm manager.
Thx.
of course... sorry.
Dialer background:
use a reg-editor like phm regedit.
og to HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE/Security/Phone/Skin. Under Enabled change from vale 1 to value 0. turn off the TYTN and on again and the dialer background should be gone.
Comm:
I just installed a new Comm manager that i found here at the forum. installed it an the commanager changed to black and had more options.
I think it is possible to overwrite the corresponding images under the windows directory on your TYTN with your own background images,but I haven't tried it yet. Look in the windows folder for the image that you usually see in the background in com manager and overwrite it with your own image with the same nam and dimensions.
But take a backup first in casesomething goes wrong. as i said. haven't tried it myself
changing these images will work fine but its tedious. Same works for the dialer images if you want to change the background of it.
Hi folks,
My device is off being repaired to cure the screen alignment issue but while I am waiting for it to return I was wondering if there was a way to stop the HTC green theme being applied to the device after I do a hard reset?
I would like just the plain WM6 default theme.
I have read about this thing called ExtROM, which is where the operator install files are hidden? So this is where the evil green theme lives until it gets installed?
Can anyone tell me if this is possible?
FYI I have a generic HTC, sim-unlocked TyTN.
Thanks,
gambcl
Um well you can do a search on google and find millions of PPC themes the green theme is just the default one set by the Preconfig.txt WM6 also comes installed with a blue theme and a red theme BTW they are called .tsk files
Umm, yes I know about .tsk files, but they do not get rid of the HTC green skin on the dialer, pin screen, etc. do they?
I was thinking the cleanest solution was to just stop the HTC green from ever being applied in the first place by maybe deleting the relevant install files from the ExtRom and then doing a hard reset.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I've never touched the ExtRom before, I know I have to unlock it and I can read about that, but what exactly would I do after I have unlocked it?
Thanks,
gambcl.

For the screen commmanager try disable this file in extended: Green_Commger.CAB.
For the dialer take a look at ZombieNexus dialpad. I use one 3G dialer to subst the green one in HTC.
For the pin pad, try one of the CABs in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321733 Youll have a black touch pinpad after install one of them, and of course the battery icon with detailed info
Hopes this helps.
This is exactly what I would like to know too. How to disable the green theme to load after hard reset.
I like the base blue theme, but that green theme changes the dialers etc.
Don't want other themes to replace them. Just to disable it not to load after hardreset.
I see that it loads a xml file that was named based on the theme, I just don't remember it atm. maybe I'll just have to fiddle with the extrom.
If anyone already has a working solution, please post it

Sorry, but the gree colors in pinpad is caused by a DLL in the ROM, not by some CAB installed after the HR. So you can only chage this changing this DLL.
About the DialPad, well, seemed as before, but with a lot of graphics files. You need a theme to change the green color and bottons (graphics files). Can't disable after HR. Only you can disable the default skin in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin making Enabled parameter to "0"
but you loos the 3G dial and SmartDialing. If you have 0 by default in this parameter, then you can't do more.
The only one i could disable is Green Commanager in the extended.
The other way to customize all this is, of course, cooking your own ROM
Regards.
Hi there
Running Meschles Vanilla 2.0 (EXCELLENT)- just wondering if anyone out there knows of a way to change the colours in the HTC Comm Manager? Not just the black background, but also the blue and the red colours. Would like to change it more to fit into the rest of my theme.
Incidentally- if I LOVE the colours in the original Microsoft Guava theme- how could I fine out the "colour codes" (for want of a better term) to then apply to a re-coloured comm manager.
Would like to make it eg black on (guava) red!
Thanks all......
Any ideas anyone......?
Please!!...

afaik does it only change htc-home-related things...to change comm-manager icons you'll have to edit every single file.
correct me if i'm wrong with that, but i can't imagine another way to do this.
maybe you can download a comm-manager-cab (this one ? - it's the ten-button comm-manager from kaiser), extract all files and then you can try do change the pictures...
btw: there are about 90 pictures included.....happy editing

Yea, I've downloaded a 10 button Comm manager (can't remember which one), but it was screwing up my system. Slowed everything down. It would take almost 20 seconds to open the the Windows folder. The only way I could get rid of it was to hard reset. So please backup your device some kind of way before you download it just incase. Even after uninstalling it, my device was still slow.
The same problem with other app

Seems to be impossible what you would like to do. Since CommManager is 'burnt' onto the ROM, you can
a, overwrite it with your new coloured files - causing slowdown, or
b, leave it as is.
There is no third possibility.
And yes, after uninstalling or manually deleting the files with which you overwrote the original ones, the system still remains slow! (don't know why).
I'm struggling with a similar problem for a while. My ROM doesn't have HTC AudioManager built-in, so I installed it separately into Storage Card, to avoid slowndown. Then I installed Music plug-in for starting AudioManager directly from Today screen. And, althought the plug-in is selectable (WMP/AudioMan.), I can't use it for AudioManager because it can't find the prog.
The only solution would be a new or hacked plug-in version, capable of locating AudioManager, even if it's not in Wondows folder. If anybody knows such a version, please, warn me!
cheers
Never mind...Nice thought.
Thanks anyway guys

The Guava theme is my favorite as well. It looks really good the the grey icons instead of the colored ones. The B&B Comm Mgr would be perfect for this ROM but the only way to get it is to cook your own ROM. I just avoid going to the Comm Manager so I don't have to look at it much. You can change the icons and tabs on the home screen with the HTC Home Customizer software.
Hello,
I installed the 10-button comm manager from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
on my HTC TyTN (with the official wm6).
Everything works fine, even after restarts, etc. But at one point (don't know what determines this point), the text on the buttons is screwed up: I only see small lines; the logos are still in order and it still works.
I suspect it has to do with the font, but I could be wrong. Is there a way to get this back to normal? (removing/installing doesn't solve it, only way I know to solve it is to perform a hard reset - which is quite drastic )
Thanks!

i think it was in the vp 3.62 thread, but someone else complained of a messed up font. turns out it was caused by a weather plugin i believe. do u have one installed?
Yes, I also have the 6-tab home plugin installed. The font and icons have been customized with the home customizer (but weather icons are still the default ones).
But IIRC, uninstalling the 6-tab home home plugin also didn't solve the issue...
What else could I try?
(thanks for helping me out!)

Yup.
I is caused by Weatherpanel.
You have to rename/delete the 2 fonts in the weatherpanel folder, or change your weatherpanel theme to one that doesn't use those fonts.
It's a glitch caused by windows mobile defaulting to the last font used when it should default to a system font.
I'm a bit confused now... The Weatherpanel, is that that weathertab present in the 6-tab home plugin (as that is the only weatherthing I have installed)?
Where can I find those fonts that I ought to delete?
Just for test purposes, I deinstalled both the home-plugin and the comm manager, then re-installed the comm manager, but its font was still messed up.

Weatherpanel is not the same thing. I havent actually used it, so maybe GldRush can put some pics up to show u what it looks like. Ur problem could very well be being caused by something else tho.
Ha, ok...
Most likely it is the same font bug, but with another program causing the problem...

This is my beloved black/green original HTC Manila theme and maybe a "reference" for others manila skinner.
Black default HTC theme for graphics & default green highlights for all colored components (checkbox, buttons and so on)
no screen needed as we all known default htc black theme
developed and tested with itje's latest build, currently T-mobile one from 6.1 2.604 kitchen. Feel free to try on other roms, it should work, but keep in mind that results may be different.
why 2 cab? to separate "static" graphic elements form indicators, selectors and so on. It's a huge work, done once for all (I hope ).
guap Manila Default Black.cab contains only "static" graphics (tabs, bars...)
guap Manila Green Hilights.cab contains only "skinnable" items (selectors, checkbox, buttons) to keep simple for others to change colors on their own without having to search all of them.
If you want i.e. to make a "red" theme, just edit files in Highlights.cab and you're ready
Or if you want to have black back on your t-mobile manila but keeping the blue/gray selectors and indicators, you can install only Default Black
How to install: disable manila, install cab (always to device if asked!!!), then re-enable manila. Soft reset shouldn't be required, but has to be the first option in case of weird behaviours
All cabs are unistallable and shold be an harmless process, but ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP with something like sprite backup or spb backup.
Other goodies
guap Green Fingermenu.cab for default green fingermenu
guap Green UsbToPC.cab for default green UsbToPC popup
guap Manila Green EnlargeStartMenu.cab for green EnlargeStartMenu
guap Manila Blue T-Mobile EnlargeStartMenu.cab for restore t-mobile colors on EnlageStartMenu (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)
guap Manila Green Taskmanager.cab for green TaskManager (tnx to itje)
guap Manila Blue T-Mobile Taskmanager.cab for restore t-mobile colors on TaskManager (as this requires registry entries, isn't sufficient to uninstall the green one)
Default Indicators.zip once for all, some files MUST to stay green, i.e. the stock chart indicators: they are these files, if you get fuzzy stock indicators installing a custom theme, drop this in \windows and should be fix
Fix
guap Manila raindrop fix.cab t-mobile manila has ugly rains, probably messed up during blu-colorizing process: this will fix ugly raindrop on weather tab
Sorry about rapid, but this manila doesn't support cfc, these 2 are too big for the board:
guap Manila Default Black.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177011/guap_Manila_Default_Black.cab
guap Manila Green Hilights.cab -> http://rapidshare.com/files/216177012/guap_Manila_Default_Green_highlight.cab
...reserved...
Nice! Are different colors coming in the futue?

@BobAndrews: not from me at the moment. I released separate cab to encourage other users to make their own skin starting from standard green package
with a script (even in photoshop afaik) should be simple to change saturation to all files at same time

Realized that this is still missing the new modifications to the dialer..
but those have to be done in the registry, which is a lot of work.
Dont blame ya if you dont want to do it
Nice one, Is there anyway to get the clock white ?

wich modification? This is related to manila only, manila isn't supposed to have a dialpad
can you post a screen?
@tomzibad: of course, open package with m9editor, extract clock png (they are clearly recognized ) and make your own color
Is there anyway to change to selection colour for the notification manager?
When I click it, it's still the same colour that I got rid of everywhere else. I still have a weird blue/grey/purple colour. And I would like the green in the notifications manager.
uhm maybe I missed it. Take a look in the latest kitchen, components are sort by directory, should be simple to find the misssed bmp for notification manager

thanks guap for your cabs, very useful.
I installed them to remove t-mob customizations in the rom i use. I wanted to rollback to default HTC classic scheme.
But after applying the cabs, the UI remains the same, strange to me, even the flip-clock (I don't like t-mob white-on-black clock). Your cab contains both square backgrounds, as well as digits, suppose the digits are white and the background is black in your cab file?
Pls advice, howto revert to black-on-white flip-clock?

Hi. I have problem with distorted graphics on the email tab (email account select). Any1 has experience with this problem? I am using green buttons, selectors etc. and Itjes 7+ final or Smabergs 6.2 ROMs
Dear knaplullig, guap
I noticed a problem, after installing Plain HD TF3D.cab,
my start menu stopped working (before when tapping on 'start', I had programs menu, not the classic start menu).
Which .manila file is to blame?
Dear All,
anyone, who uses this Plain TF3D tweak, do your start menu work ok?
Mine (I had programms when tapping 'start' -- before installing Plain TF3D cab) just stopped responding to taps. Winkey on Hw keyboard works (old-style start menu).
Anybody has suggestion, what has to be corrected in order to have responding startmenu back again?
FOUND!
I've found the file which froze startmenu.
It's 5c9aa261_manila. Can it be fixed somehow?

Did you find a way to fix this? I tried installing it and had the same problem. It won't remove either so I may have to reflash
not to reflash you just have to re-instal and then remove the program.
also you can try this threads solutions.
