whats the screen before...? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

the touch flo 3d main screen loads?
i want to change this as mine came with a rom and doesnt look too swell
i replaced the welcomehead.96.pgn image, but that changed nothing (so dunno what i did there?) is that the wrong screen, do i need to change somethign else instead?
i did search, but couldnt find anything which directly mentioned this screen.
cheers

As far as I can remember the correct filename is welcomehead.196.png, make sure it's really replaced (use Resco Explorer or Total Commander).
Works fine here.

i did use total commander, and it placed it in the windows folder on the phone itself, not thew windows folder on mem card.
i will have to wait till home to check, as battery died now
it is def called the right name, i did notice that when i put the image in the folder it didnt ask me to replace existing file? maybe it is slightly named wrong, silly me, will check cheers

post the image you want to use or get winCEcab maker and make your own.It has to go into your windows folder

thanks bonesy i will try that method, i placed the file in the windows folder, but still nothing. still loads the picture of the ROM makers screen.

Hold up! Do you mean the green splash screen or the operator/smart mobility logo?

Themes for wm6

Hey pplz,
I am in need for some bad a$$ theme for my new 8925 wm6 pro phone. I have used the search feature on this website as well as few other websites. The picture for theme that i am lookin for is the one that on this post:
"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321332&highlight=Theme"
Name for the post is: [UPDATED 08-08] Schap's WM6 Pro 3.54b ROMs [WWE|FRA|GER|ESN|ITA|PTG|NLD]
Note: I have tried downloading the files under "EXTRA LINKS" and then importing them to the phone, but when i click the tsk files....it doesnt show up under "select a theme for your device: " under settings -> today..
Can some1 tell me where to download this theme, or tell me what i am doing wrong in getting this theme on this phone?
Grreatly aprriciate any1's input

My current WM6 ROM won't install themes either.
Don't know if they did something to make them incompatible but I get the same problem you have.
\WINDOWS\ folder is where they should be placed...

I've seen what you're talking about. If you're running Windows Vista and trying to copy files to your device, it won't let you browse to the \WINDOWS\ folder to do anything.
Try using File Explorer and copy the file from wherever you have placed it and paste the copy in the \WINDOWS\ folder. It may also work in your My Documents folder, but I'm not 100% on that. The \WINDOWS\ folder should work though so that it shows up as an option in your "Today" options.
I use one that's got a Windows Vista Ultimate feel to it and like it a lot.... it's called BLGLOSS.TSK and I hope that my file attachment worked! I'm still quite the n00b at this stuff but have been madly cooking roms with Pandora, etc.... good stuff.
So basically what your saying is the automated install when you run a .tsk from any location no longer happens and you have to manually put it in a system folder for it to show up in the theme's list?
EDIT:
Yup apparently that is the issue! Theme's don't copy themselves when you run them from a memory card or wherever anymore.
If you don't fancy your themes clogging up your /WINDOWS/ folder (and who does?), they work just as well when dropped in the root of your /STORAGE CARD/. Note, if you put them in a folder in the storage card they won't get picked up under the Today setting, you must just drop them in the root.
With my themes in my Storage card's root, and my ringtones in my Storage Card's My Documents folder, the only file I have to copy to Windows now after a reset is the one I use for my alarm!
Personally, my favourite theme wesbite is here: http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/category.aspx?CategoryID=9&ttype=11 but make sure you've got "WM5 QVGA" selected in the drop down at the top or you'll end up with ones that don't work on landscape.

so wait were u able to make ur phone install the theme u wanted after you moved it manually to the windows folder or the root of ur storage ?
ok, i got the themes to show up under Setting->Today, but the theme doesnt look like how its suppose to....the theme that i posted on the original post shows a very big time on the today screen, when i set it on mine, the time doesnt even show up....only things like the background change....any ideas?
Fastindy, I think you may have got themes on PPCs mixed up with those on Smartphones. When you change a theme on a Smartphone, it affects the picture on the Today screen, as well as what info is shown on it and where. This means a Smartphone theme will have clocks, SMS counters, etc built into it.
A PPC theme, on the other hand, affects only the background picture, top and bottom bar colour scheme, and the Start drop down background picture. What info is actually displayed on the screen is determined by Today plug-ins - these are the things that show the clocks, SMS counters, calendar appointments, and so on.
On the Schaps ROM you linked to in the first post, the clock showing on the today screens is the HTC Home plug-in. It's available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327646 but I don't know if this is the newest/best version as personally I don't use (takes up too much of my screen for my liking).
Hope that helps.
if you go into folder options and tell it to show hidden files folders and drives, and untick hide protected operating system files then you will be able to see the windows folder from your computer.

Increase SMS box size in touchflo ?

Along my travels of reading thousands of posts in hundreds of threads I seem to remember reading about a tip to increase the viewable box size of SMS messages in touchflo.
Ive tried searching using all the keywords I can think of but have come up blank. I cant remeber if it was even in the Blackstone section.
Im using mun_rus's SMS zoom tool and if I get a large text message I cant always see it all.
Can anyone help please ?

U are using mine mod for diamond) Coz of bigger screen resolution u getting cut bottom I'll make such mod for HD also
Yep, your mod works good but as you said it cuts the bottom off.
Is it possible to make it remeber the zoom settings so they stick?
Also gona use your Background4alltabs if/when you fix it to work with analogue clocks (Cant give up my big Xperia clock).
In the \Windows folder, edit the file thread_sms.htm.
Look for a line that has the text Height=35. The 35 represents a height of 35 pixels.
You can increase the number as you like. For have three line the right value is 75.
how can you edit the thread_sms.htm file? I found it but doesnt give me the option to edit!
I tried looking for it connected through my laptop but Windows folder is hidden and no matter what I do i cant seem to find it!
copy to sd with your mobile file explorer, edit from sd with windows , copy it back
yea tried that but it wont let me copy it back to the Windows folder!
the file in the Windows folder wont allow me to delete it either! hmmmm
Ive copied it to the SD card and my laptop and unless Im blind there appears to be nothing in it.
The file size is 851 Bytes. Is that right ?
yea thats the file... i copied it onto my desktop, changed the file to open with Notepad and changed the height value to 75.
saved it, changed it back to open with IE then copied it back to SD then tried to replace the file with the existing one... but it wont allow me!
Same problem here, tried all ways. Installed Resco Explorer to get the result. SMS is now much more friendly, thanks for the tip lucarp78.
Hell yeah! Thanks for the tip, exactly what I wanted.
Tip: Use Total Commander and edit the file from the mobile!

When I copy it to my SD card with TC and open it, it opens in Opera and all I can see is a black bar across the top.
How did you edit it on your phone please?
What program did you use to edit it?
Thanks
The easiest way is to use Total Commander. Select properties for the file and remove the Read-Only check. Then edit the file as mentioned earlier and save it. Set the Read-Only property again and reset.
If you want to copy the file to your PC and edit it there, remember to remove the Read-Only property before you copy it back again (either using explorer, Resco Explorer or TotalCommander) otherwise you are not allowed to overwrite it. Hope this help.
Is there any chance someone would be kind enough to put up a copy of the thread-sms.htm file or cut & paste the contents in a thread.
I dont know how but Ive manage to mess mine up royally.
Thanks

I said I used Total Commander. Google it and download. Then look up where the file is in your windowsfolderand. Then you should manage the rest.

I have Total Comander already installed. When I asked how did you edit it, I mean what program as it opens auomatically with Opera and shows nothing. I managed to get it open once in Notes and edit the line but that didnt seem to work.
I went back to the windows folder and now it comes up with an error. When I look at the file on my works pc there is only about the first 6/7 lines in the file?

The clear up any confusion (because the previous guys who have posted haven't exactly been clear!)... if you simply "open" the file... by clicking or double clicking it... then it will simply "open" in a program designed to open that type of file.
As the file you're trying to edit is a webpage (.htm) then it will "open" in a program designed to "display" webpages... like Opera or IE!
You don't need to "open" the file.... you need to "edit" it.
In Total Commander, click the file once to highlight it, and then select "File" > "Edit" from the bottom menu of Total Commander.

If you've messed up your file... may I suggest you delete it from the Windows folder (using Total Commander).
It will look like it's doing something, but then the file will still be there... as when you delete a file that is originally stored in the ROM, it gets immediately replaced with the original from the ROM!
Then copy the file to your My Documents folder, click it to highlight it, click "File" > "Properties" from the bottom menu of Total Commander, and untick the "Read Only" attribute & click OK.
Edit as above, and click "File" > "Save".
Copy that file back to the Windows directory by clicking "File" > "Copy/Move", click "Tree", highlight "Windows", click "OK", click "Copy"... click "Overwrite" if prompted!
Thanks Sidepa, thats exactly what I wanted to know. Im still getting to grips with TC but its thanks to the help of this community im slowly learning.
After all that though, it still hasnt solved the problem of increasing the text box size. It may be a manilla file that needs editing in mode9 maybe. Hopefully mun_rus will come up with something as hes gona look at getting his diamond app to work on the HD.
Works for me in all input modes. Here is the modified file. Keep a copy of your original for safety then overwrite with this one.

Need Guidenance Please

Hey all,
I need alittle help, And yes I looked but nothing is giving me a clear answer in my searches and doesnt seem to be helping me find a way to do this to test things out.
I have been really annoyed with the 2.5 HTC Message Bug/Lag/Error/Whatever, and I have been searching thru the EU rom for hours/days, and I wanted to try some things out, but I've run across a problem. I am testing out possibly seeing is maybe the problem is maybe xml pages, so I want to play around with them and find the association as to why hitting the send key loads the msgs instantly while not doing so takes forever to load. I have a spare tp2 to do testing. But when I try to replace xml pages, it will deny me from doing so. for example, I was trying to replace the htcMsgbox.xml but everytime I try I get this error:
A system file name "htcmsgbox" already exists replacing old file with new file, I say yes, then I get this msg: "Cannot copy "htcmsgbox" access denied.
Obviously its a system file and cant be replace by normal means, so my question is how does one replace these files? I tried total commander to try and open the file to edit it, but that failed too. So can someone tell me how it can be done if at all? I even tried going into the bootloader to see if I could replace files, but that didnt work too, and searching here unless you hit the right keyword isnt giving me an answer.
I guess my question is how to replace any system file be it XML or exe, I know some can be done by disabling Manila, but how of the others?
Thanx for the response.
42 views and no answer? Okay then *Bump*
I don't think it's possible.
I believe that the only way to get at those ROM-locked files, is to open it up in a kitchen...and even then I'm not sure that everything is accessbile
Would the SDKCert cab allow me to replace the XML pages? I would think that when you reboot the phone and go to the home screen the Msging app isnt loaded so why would the xml pages be locked from being changed, when there is other xml pages for other apps in the system not loaded and you can alter them? I am not a programmer right off the bat, but I noticed little stupid things which knowing how Windows works would cause programs or aml pages that would normally seem okay because it runs, window would run it slower because it cant translate something that didnt even have anything to do with the mail xml page or the program, and I found a couple of xml pages that have these stupid errors and thought of replacing them to see if that could be the case, I can copy them off the phone fine, but I cant replace them to test my theories out.
Help!

You generally can overwrite ROM files with the same file name in the same directory. If you want to modify a file, copy it to your storage card, change the properties to not be "read only", then copy it back to the former location.
This won't work for any system files that are actually in use.
In your case, it appears that "htcmsgbox" is being used by the system. I think you might be able to get past this particular one by disabling the HTC notifications system. Do a search - it is a registry mod.
Okay the notification system you wouldnt be by chance talking about the events notification for sms mms email reminders would you? And I made the change on my desktop then copied it back to storage and then tried to overwrite the file, but I did change the attrib back to read only before trying to copy it back...
Most of the XML pages used by HTC is in use
sigh....

Hide clock/time under TouchFlo 3D

Does anyone know how to hide the HTC clock (not flipping it up to make it smaller) completely while keeping TouchFlo3D activated?
I want the home screen has has completely nothing on it to show the whole wallpaper.
freshgear.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/htc-touch-hd-screen-main.jpg
Like from the picture above, I want to hide:
The Time (10:20)
The date
The alarm off text
The call history and calander text
So just a blank screen w/o anything while keeping TouchFLO3D running.
Hi

Hi
what you have to do is,you have to change 17 manila files to transparency and the mode9 file 1c684cd8_manila.I did it already for you,because I changed my homescreen too.Important is,go in you phone windows directory (Windows) and save all the files what you will overwrite with this procedure to you computer to be on the save side,because it could be you change you mind sometimes,and you never know what could get wrong.If not,you will have to make a hard reset with you phone to go back to you original state,copy all the files in your PHONE WINDOWS DIRECTORY (WINDOWS)

Hi
I'v got something better for you,use the cfc_gui tool from chainfire,what you have to do is,copy all manila files to you computer,open it up with the cfc_gui tool,it takes a couble a secound to open it, in this tool you will then find all you manila files,if you tick of one file you will see all his content,size,name and picture, you can than save each one on you computer separately and work or change something on it with photoshop or others, if you in the cfc_gui tool go to the (home\vga files) because that a the files for the clock,if you make all the files transparent than the clock will disappear,you can do a lot with this tool,of course you have to be connectet with you phone to the computer to save the alteret files back again to you phone,and don't worry this tool save all you files to the right place in you phone if you use the cfc_gui tool than you don't need the zip file any more you can choose you own method and do what you want, underneath the download link.

I think I cannot use this method because I do not use a Windows computer and cannot connect between computer and phone.
Basically, I just need the things highlighted in neon green in the attached photo to disappear while keeping everything unchanged.
From your first method, I found the files that you put in the ZIP under my phone's Windows folder, but the ones in the phone's Windows folder are not PNGs.
Can you confirm if those are the correct files to replace?
Also, if I just need the few things from the attached photo to disappear, do I have to replace every file with the ones from your ZIP?
Hi
to you first question:how do you copy the files in you phone without computer
to you secound question:that what you highlighted on you phone that is exactly the 17 manila files,you will find in the new zip files the description of all the manila files
to you third question:the manila files a all alteret from PNG to QTC otherwise it would nothing happen when you copy them to the win directory,it was my mistake I should have mention it early in the post before, apology for that
to you fourth question:use the files in the new zip for what I will make a download link underneath thats the right files
to you fifth question:yes all the few things on you photo is all the 17 manila files, look in the description in the new zip file you will see that you need all the files,it is all explaind
something else use the mode9 file 16c84cd8_manila only if you can still someting see on you clock and screen
as you can see on my homescreen no clock

To answer your question, I only use bluetooth to transfer files between my computer and phone.
By replacing the files with ones above, will it cause any problem if my ROM isn't english?
Is there a quicker way to backup all 18 original files in case someday I want the clock back, instead of copying one after one from the Windows folder?
Just to confirm, your ZIP above has 18 files (excluding the capture.PNG)
One last question, how do make the menu bar transparent (like from your home screen above) and change all the icons at the bottom of the screen?
Hi
no it cause no problems for you ROM,
no quicker way to copy files from you win phone folder,if you would have a connection to you phone via computer it would take a few secound to copy,
zip files have 18files 17 manila and one mode9 file,+PNG
for you last question:to get the transparency for the taskbar I cooked it in my ROM after that I flashed it to my phone,I'v got a cab file that promised to do that same with the taskbar,I never try it because I cooked it already in my ROM,if you want to try it I will make a download link, if it dosen't work you can delete it again from you device,to the icons you can use the HDWall tool to create the icons

Need help with boot animation

I made a custom boot animation to go along with the theme that Shane6374 and I made (you can find our theme here: [THEME]Special Edition:midNIGHT ROM Autism Awareness Theme+LP+Icons+Boot Animation) and its not working. Basically what I did was I took a boot animation that works (its the one I am using now) and replaced the .png's with my own. But when I boot up all I get is a black screen until the phone boots. I have checked everything I can think of. The pics are the same dimensions, the same resolution, the same format. The only thing I see different is that mine uses more colors. IDK if that is a limitation on boot animations (but I doubt it). Does anyone have any ideas? There must be something I am missing. I'm going to post the bootanimation.zip I made here so feel free to download it and see if you can figure out what is wrong.

Your desc.txt file is saved in windows format. it uses a different code for carriage returns than does unix formatted text files. you can just open it up in something like notepad++ and under edit-->EOL Conversion switch it to unix format and it should work.

Didn't work. You were right about the the format, so I changed it to Unix, but I still get a blank screen instead of the animation while its booting.
I uploaded the bootanimation.zip with the new desc.txt file just in case you wanted to double check.
Here is something interesting.....
I decided to look at the files in the bootanimation.zip on my phone. I used Root Explorer and went into the part0 folder. The images display just fine with Astro Image viewer, but Gallery just gives me a blank screen. I think its some sort of issue with the native image viewer not being able to display these images properly. If this were Windows I would say I am missing a driver, but its Linux.
So, I say again.....any ideas?
Oh. Your zip is compressed. Make sure you set it to no compression when you make your archive.

I started with the boot animation that is currently on my phone. I used 7zip to open the bootanimation.zip and replaced the original images with mine. I didn't change any compression settings (that I am aware of anyway).
I'm not sure about 7zip, I use winrar, but I imagine it might work similarly. If I just drag and drop files into and out of an archive it automatically compresses them. When I opened your archive the PNGs were ever so slightly compressed, not much since they are already so small, but any compression will stop it from playing. In winrar I just add the folder and txt file to a new archive and just use "store" as the compression method. I don't know what the setting is in 7zip but it probably has some similar setting.
OK, so now I need to figure out where the compression settings in 7zip are.
Thanks
There was also some issues with your file names. They need to be in the format "ANYNAME_00001.png" I believe. So you need to have any random name with an underscore, it doesn't matter what, but the numbering has to include 5 digits. I went ahead and did it and packaged it up for you.

There was also some issues with your file names. They need to be in the format "ANYNAME_00001.png" I believe. So you need to have any random name with an underscore, it doesn't matter what, but the numbering has to include 5 digits. I went ahead and did it and packaged it up for you.

Thanks! I knew it had to be something simple that I was missing. If I could hit the Thanks button 1000 times I would. I just flashed it on mine and it works.
Thanks again.
Frames can be named anything as long as th order is inlin for android to read properly.
Ex.
Name_001
Name_002
Name_003
Name_004
Name_005
Name_006
Name_007
Name_008
Name_009
Name_010 and so on.
Also use 7zip for zipping them up with it always set on store.
Another thing to watch out for is that when creating your part folders usin a pc running wndows, be careful not to let windows throw a hidden indexing file into the folder. This happens a lot and will give the animation the white flash screen that so many ppl have problems with, it can also cause the black nothing screen.

Thanks. This is my first one so I had a bit of a learning curve. I used up all my thanks on optmsprim2 but I'll come back tomorrow and get you.
BTW I looked but I can't find where you set the compression settings in 7zip. How do I set in on store?

JB, I found it last night. When you "add to archive" the options for compression come up. It almost the same as in winrar.
