Can't use any new theme(tsk) other than the default ones!

I just find that I can't use any today theme(tsk) other than those ones included in the ROM. I copyed a new TSK file into Windows folder, and then go to Start>Settings>Personal>Today>Appearance, I can find the name of that theme, but when I selected it, nothing happens! Whatever the current theme is, it'll go to "Windows Default" theme if I select any new theme other than those included in the ROM! It's weird because I just hard-reset my Jasjar and didn't install any other applications, so it's not a third party application related probelm!
Is anyone experienced the same problem? and any solution will be appreciated!!

No one has the same problem? Maybe is a hardware problem...

Try putting the TSK file in My Documents

Good question ! I don't know. I got these TSK Files at the SBSH Forum (Pocketbreeze) which I am using on my JJ.

I know this thread is pretty old now but I had a similar problem getting this to work. Try deleting the space between Black Panther, it worked for me.

I had the same problem !!!
I think it was with the Helmi Aku 3.2 or 3.5 ROM
don't know why, I could just select a theme but it would always be stuck on windows default.
I eventually flashed it with a newer rom, never had the problem again.

[CAB][26 nov 09] Taskbar UNINSTALLER or STOCK ICONS installer ...whatever but reverts

OK many users have asked me to revert changed (skinned) taskbar icons back to the stock XPERIA ones (most taskbar skins are currently uninstallable, but not when the user has over-installed a new CAB or when they are pre-cooked into a ROM)
I have prepared two CABs with all the XPERIA stock files
These CABs will revert all of the taskbar icons to the original stock ones
Choose the proper CAB for Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5
THIS IS BETA
PLEASE TEST AND REPORT
[26 nov 09] EDIT:
I have prepared a CAB to re-install the STOCK XPERIA battery only, registry keys included, for WM6.5 ROMs (could be compatible to WM6.1 ROMs too, so please test)

is there a way to just replace the wait icon for 6.5 from the green SE bouncy one..

YES it will be done, for sure
I'm currently dissecting 6.5 files
Just let me finish the surgery and I will report after washing my hands

dissect away...because the 6.5 unistaller doesn't work..i had to reflash today

It's the registry...
I've found many differences between 6.1 and 6.5
Still learning how the new OS works

trust me i know too well how tricky the registry in 6.5 is..i've had to reflash about 5times in 2 days because of the damn registry..im currently trying to find a way to change the font in titanium without having to modify the .cpr file..hw's ur surgery coming along

modifying the font ??
1- Get your new font, rename it to tahoma.ttf
make a copy of your font and rename to tahomabd.ttf
2- Open both with font creator (http://www.high-logic.com/fontcreator.html)
Go to Autonaming
3-Change the name of your font to "Tahoma" and "Tahoma Bold" respectively. Save both
4- Copy your "tweaked" tahomas to /windows/ (replace the stock ones) -> reset
Done
PS: I can not test the WM6.5 CAB untill I get my WM6.5 ROM absolutely finished and streamlined to the Sony OEM software package, then I will test

thanks you very much

Thanks for making the cab - unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work.
I'm installing it over Jack's Full 3.3 ROM, which has Anx1 Tsowen Taskbar by default.
After installation, the taskbar icons are completely blank, and all the other icons in the start menu, file explorer, etc. are corrupted, eg. folders have the internet explorer icon.
Any ideas for a fix?

This CAB restores the tweaked files only
You can ask ANGELUSZ for the required registry changes (they are just 2 values I guess)
Once you change those registry keys back, all will return to normality

thank you very, very muvh!

the cab didnt work.. i got the same results as _Robert_ did, all the icons disappeared, and there were just blank spaces.
i tried this fix though, something about using MAX TF3D and restoring the original icons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507216
but anyhow, thanks very much for your help, gtrab!

Anyone who know how to get stock icon files in windows mobile 6.5 ?
Or to change the them ? Please help

Hey so i just installed the WM6.5 icon pack and it all works and all but you recieve the charging symbol even after you unhook the device after charging
EDIT:NEVERMIND

Hey,
great cab, reverted everything except for the volume control on Kisja's WM6.1 Sense 2.5 RC1 rom. Any fix for this?

THIS IS FOR THE XPERIA X1 USER INTERFACE
Manila/TouchFlo/Sense phones use a different, customized phcanOverBMP.dll (which contains the taskbar icons)
So this CAB is not recommended for sense/manila/tOUCH flo devices
Try at your own risk
Why some people think
PS: If you are using a cooked ROM which includes manila, then ASK THE COOKER, because installing XPERIA STOCK files over MANILA will creatre a MESS of course.
Why some people think XPERIA has "native manila ?? Thiat's a Blasphemy !!

I just used the Stock XPERIA X1 battery icons WM6.5.cab on the H.V4 Sense Rom and so far it works with no problems.

hello everyone. i want the colored 6.1 style start button on my 6.5. will this 6.1 stock cab help? is there another way to do it?

Is it possible to convert an iconset from 6.5 for use on 6.1 ?? Is there a gd guide I could start from ?

Being a themer I can help you, but I need more information.
What ROM are you using (or carrier if using stock), M2d version (if installed on your own), and what theme (or installation method...cab file, zip file, m2dc file).

I also need help with this
I am using NFS V.15
Bell Mobility
Have not added anything else to the phone that what was included in the ROM.
Pick any Manilla theme on this site, whether it be Cab or Zip I can't get it to work. Do i need anything?

Edit the graphic files manually,
Each time a major revision to Manilla comes out (the last one was footprints) most old themes stop working. Where everything lines up, how it's displayed, how it reacts id controlled by a file called HTChomesettings.xml. The first thing you should do after a fresh flash is find that file in your windows directory, and copy it to your SD card. That way if you corrupt it with a new theme you can back up. If that doesn't work unfortunately a hard reset is your only option.
Manila 2D version 2.0 just came out, give it time, themers will release new themes. M2DC may have to be re-written as well. If not, a theme that is made for the the newer version of Manila (NOT an old one) can be installed via cab.
If you want, post the theme you want if you have a screenshot of it (or a link to the theme itself) and I will look into making it work with 2.0.
I have attached the HTChomesettings.xml file. I had to zip it to upload directly, just unzip it and you'll have the file.

That one is very similiar to a "Titanium 6.5" theme I did a while back except with emphasis on the transparency. I'll D/L the files and get to work on it for you. Might be a theme I'd use myself from time to time as well!

I can make a clock like that,
I'd love to remake lot's of theme's for you guys but there is a problem.
Some Themer's do not like their theme's remade if they are very unique. That theme is from Kidnamedalbert, a very talented themer who is also a moderator on this forum. It would be wrong to remake unique themes.
The one TMZ asked about is a scrabble of commonly available files. Some themers (like myself) only make partial things like clocks, icons, bars etc and make them available to everyone. The slider is from Twolf's transtab and he has let lots of guys use it in other themes.
If anyone enjoys a unique theme (Sports themes, etc) contact the original themer. I will redo tabs, icons, clocks etc as long as the original themer is someone who has let their work be shared before. I'm looking to help people, not get into trouble.
Regards,
Jason.
P.S. TMZ, I should have a theme up in a few days, If it takes me longer I'll update this thread to let you know.

so the manilla2D that comes with V15 of NFSFans ROM is 2.0?
is it really that new? there's not any themes out there for it already created and not needing of a remake?

jmitr , Thanks so much...

Newbie in need of help.. Ill buy coffee

GUYS,
I think i know u guys must be sick and tired answering the questions that i have, but i have tried to search but could not find any good enough answer to help me out with my blackstone. Again.. my apologies on all this but i really could appreciate if someone..anyone could help me!
1 - How do i change my theme? It was easy when i was using a Diamond, but now with HD.. everytime i try to download and install a theme here, it just doesn't work and at times keep getting my phone hanging on black screen! im getting bored with my standard theme and tabs. (FYI, i have no clue what manila i am at.. all i know my is wm6.1)
2 - Looking for a solid dictionary, ram cleaner or some good applications to enhance my usage of Blackstone / HD
3 - Finally but not least, some of this post are talking about Gyrate 2. Can i use it? without screwing my phone?
Again guys, i am terribly sorry to throw this same ol same old questions which im sure u guys get alot of it. But really need some help... please and thank you!!

1 - It depends on which ROM you have, with wich Manila version. If you install the wrong one, there's a chance you'll screw up a lot of graphic things. If i can suggest you a theme, try Dusk (search here). There are versions for standard ROM, for ROM's with Manila 2.0, Manila 2.1, Manila 2.5 and Manila 2.6: it's all matter of choosing the right one.
2a - Language? English?
2b - Ram Cleaner, try htcAddicts CleanRam (search here)
2c - Which kind of apps do you need? Tell me your needs, i'll tell you your apps
3 - You can use Gyrator2, but in my opinion Changescreen (search here) is better

thank u for a reply bbonzz.
I finally found a theme that i can use - DUSK FOR DEFAULT ROM! heheheh.. but just so i know.. how do i check what manila am i at. My rom is the default 1.56
dictionary - english. but if theres a build in translator.. it'll be so lovely.
Htcaddicts tried to install it.. but its full of gibberish.. just files.. not application. And it a zip file, once i unzip.. theres no cab file...just lots of i dont know what!!
ill try to take a look regarding changescreen.
Just a note.. links that ur trying to put could not be seen or use

If you have the default Rom, you also have the "old" Manila 1.x, so you're right: use Dusk default. Since i have Manila 2 since a long time i don't remember exactely, but if i'm not wrong in settings tab you can see also Manila version at bottom
with "search here" i mean search on this board: i haven't put any link
for dictionary, you can give a try to Slovoed (paid).
CleanRam: never had this problem: maybe is your browser that corrupts download?

You have to edit the CPR with the font that you like. Place new font in windows directory of phone and edit CPR with new font. There is a link to the thread on how to edit your CPR in sticky.

The CPR is located in windows directory of your phone. If you are using WM6.5 by Ookba then you have to edit the file name : Titanium_320x240.cpr. Find this file pn your phone, then copy it to PC, where you can use notepad to edit the file. Once done, you need to copy it back to phone.

No.. you don't edit your Titanium 320x240.cpr to "file name.cpr" You have to edit the content of the cpr. Please refer to the link on my previous post.

If you are no longer using the font you can rename the extention with Total Commander or Resco Explorer eg: font.ttf to font.bak then restart phone and delete it.
