Hello to all guy`s here i just have One very simple question... will be fine if someone can answer me clear.
Befor i use only Symbian Phones and all was diferent from NOW!
Now i have HTC touch HD and sometimes i really think that is very confused to operate with this device what i mean exactly is..
I read alot in this forum and in other forum`s.. and i can`t understand One Thing.
Why for example if i wana change my Start Menu Icon.. or Action buttons or even my theme i need to do so many confused things like change this file, rename this.. overwrite that.. extract this. all this is 1st confused second is not good for the phone and for YOU.
I will explain you why..
For example now i wana change my Start Menu Icon.. but after i read alot things im not sure do im able to change it
So for example if i change it.. after a while someday if i wana get back my stock icon`s what i need to do? I will forgot what exactly i rename,change where witch file i put and etc.. and this is just for one Start Menu Icon.. imagine when you change and costumaze the whole bar`s icons etc.. after few mounths im sure you will not know witch file exactly is modifet and etc!
The question is.. befor when i use Symbian all was so clear and easy i wana change something just install the app and that`s all if i don`t wana use this icon`s or themes anymore i can easy just remove them and that`s all!
So i wonder and asking myself why here not have the same things in .CAB`s
For example i wana change my icon`s just installing some .cab and all is done when i don`t want them just uninstall all will be so clear and easy and good for the phone.
I don`t understand from this things for this reason im asking you Maybe is very hard all this icon`s font`s and other items that the whole forum write tip`s how to change this how to chagne that can`t be made in a single .CAB file?
We can make our life better with a simple .CAB installation no need to change any manilla files or overwrite any dll and etc....
P.S Sorry for my english but it`s not my Mother.. language like you can see
Regards
ive got most hings in cab files so it doesnt bother me and i flash my rom so many times that i dont even have the time to get bored with something because i dont instal it after i flashed
so i think this is a thing thats different for every user
Do u have .CAB for change of the icon`s or start menu icon?
ive got one for all the icons on top with the picture that pulls the start
the site is full of them
and i had one that only the top left one made to a scull
Sorry for bodering you but like i say im new on all this with the WM can you please give me this cab`s that you have for the scull logo and the other to install and see how they will look like on my phone!
Thanks in advance

No need to markup your story like that. People will read it with default settings as well... ...If you can't remember what you've changed I advise you not to change anything, or keep a text file containing information about your personal tweaks.
The reason that it's quite cumberstone to change things is because Microsoft never wanted you to change those parts of the software. Some clever people found a way to get pass the ideas of Microsoft and managed to to change parts of the OS that's on your device.
This is the same reason why you can't put all files in one CAB file. Some files are read only files and need some "special attention" to be modified\replaced. Second thing is that ROM files depend on their language. Most compatibility will be achieved by using a WWE ROM
You can apply changes to the OS easier by using a program like Wisbar Advance. But you will notice that the system will become slower. Thats why a lot of people prefer to do some freeware tweaking to their devices. I hope this story clears up some things for you...
Thank you for all you wrote but the point was other anyway i find some apps i was looking for the question was why the peoples don`t make .CAB`s and do it the hardest way so to change some icon`s font clock`s and everything all this is possible with a signle CAB file no need to change something or overwrite or re-name and someday when you don`t wana use this you can just uninstall the .CAB that was the point i already use some of the .CAB`s that change icon`s etc and its perfect!
Thank`s to the miniterror

Hi guys and girls,
Just thought i'd share with you my own go at creating a custom font for the Touch HD.
I was getting bored of the factory font and wanted to spice it up a lil... I tried other custom fonts that are floating about but wanted something pretty clean and crisp and not a headache to look at!!
Anyway I have provided the .cab for easy installation.
Installation Instructions:
For .cab installation, just save the cab to your device (I saved this in a folder on my memory card).
Run the cab from the folder you saved it too and during the installation it will ask where you want this to be saved... select "Device".
Once this has installed, it will then prompt you to reset your device. Do this and HEY PRESTO!
If you want to go back to your normal font, then go into the system settings then "Remove Programs" and remove the font which is listed in there, it'll then prompt to reset device... once it boots back up, all resorted back to normal fonts.
I hope you guys like this and if there are any questions then please don't hesitate to ask.
Take it easy!
Lew
P.S. I have added some screenshots of the old font, just to give you an idea of the difference etc
Seems great, I am just wondering whether the memory will be consumed more as changing the font

I've not noticed any difference to be honest, runs the same for me. I guess it's a case of try it and see what you think

Hi,
I am new, pls forgive me if my question seems stupid...
1) Pls let me know the easiest & safest way to change my TF3D background wallpaper... I have read many threads about this, what I understand is most involve customising the whole TF3D or changing the theme "in package", which I wish not to try for this moment..
2) Is there any way to add program's names in the program launcher? .. other than flashing a new ROM..
THANK YOU VERY MUCH..
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?
bbonz,
What app can i get for Yahoo Messenger? Got MSN... looking for YM as well

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.
Good luck,

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.
