What exactly does this mean? if you ment to say buy one, thats a very poor answer!!

There are tons of posts regarding the HTC Touch plug in if thats what your looking for, you will not get much help on here if you havent looked for it first.

of course i have looked for it first, also its not just Today plugin i want i want the theme also, I found the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
but i dnt know wat to do with them, one is a .tsk, what do i do with this and the other file is a zip, when uncompressed its just alot of files.
Secondly this link is for the HTC Wizard, if i recall i posted this in the HTC Hermes forum, and when you search this forum there are no links for HTC Touch skin.
I just thought it would be nice if it could come in a cab file, saving time, saving human error (guaranteed ppl will screw up their phones doing this as it is)!!!
It was just a question/request/idea!!!

I dont usually get involved with these type of issues, but there was a post about 4 down from your original one, regarding the plug in, stating in there that wizard cab worked on the hermes.
Maybe you should look into installing themes and cab files!

Also, before downgrading i suggest you take a look at what you have installed that is loading at your start up and running on the background, because that is probably what is causing the lag at the startup and the high battery consumption.
I'm saying it because i experienced the same and after optimizing my startup/boot the phone started booting real fast and the battery is lasting a bit longer.
At last, depending on how old you battery is and how intense is the use you make of your phone, downgrading might not help at all, probably a new and/or higher capacity battery is the best solution.
Hope i helped ratter than confused.
Cheers.

DO you mean a threaded SMS program... Like a program that puts your messages in a threaded format? is that what you are referring to?

why yes it is. but i think crazyasslatino went back to wm6 if im not mistaken, so he no longer has threaded text.

But you can always use a third app program to do your messages like threaded... I forgot what it is called though... Uhhhh... Let me try to find out...

dont want the thread to be lost if you dont mind, and stop with the google thing, if i knew what i needed i wouldnt come here and ask for help

Ummmm stop with the google?
Did you notice what i typed in the search engine? Im sure you knew or had a clue , you could of thought of those keys words yourself.
You don't need to know names to programs, KEYWORDS for what the program does and what it's for, will spit out 1000000 of results.

Mikey has really helped you out there bruv, it's all in the key search words. I did a search myself and came up with similar results by using "WM6 threaded text".
I admit Mikeys choice of key words is better than mine.

When I bought my first PPC, I didn't have a clue on how to mod it, or do any of the cool stuff I saw other people were doing. I read the forums for a good week, and tried to find out all the info I could. Afterwards, I tried a few mods and they worked! There were a couple of times where I couldn't figure something out, THATS when I posted and asked questions that were answered by forum members. You have to do some reading, research & experimentation about things first, you can't just post a general question and expect everyone to spoon-feed you the information. Read a few threads dealing with how to do what you want to do, use the search, and you will see someone has asked the same questions you have now. Download the .CAB files you need, and happy modding!

thanks mate
all i want to know is if i am using the right software i download something name the diamondtf3d i can chage the skin but the skin comes like half way down the screen i guess that because it was design for the diamond which has a small screen so i want to know if there is a version for the blackstone

Depends on the theme. Some themes can be obtained by just replacing manilla files in your Windows folder. Search for instructions in the appropriate theme thread.
Regards,
Carty..

thanks mate
well right now i am using a program name diamond tf3d config and the themes are coming like half way in the screen can some one help me plz

can the diamond TF3D config used to edit/add themes for HTC HD / blackstone? will there be any problem?

Using a Diamond tool on your Blackstone/HD could cause trouble because the screen resolution and size are way different (Blackstone 480x800, Diamond 640x480)

Probally the biggest noob question, but help would be greatly appreciated!

I just got my T-mobile Dash and I read around this message board and see all the cool stuff you guys do. Im not completely stupid (at least in dont think lol) cause I flashed phones before, some which turned out good, and some ive bricked (lol)
Anyways what Im getting at is a i want a cool home screen like you guys got. I think you guys are using "Chome" if im not mistaken? Where can I get it? Is there a specific one I need to get? Do I need to flash my phone or is it just like a .cab file that I install on my phone? What stuff do you guys recommend I get to just get me started on making a cool home screen? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Again

All the 6.5roms have Chome. and they are very customizable. You will need to flash your phone if you want the full package. Check the sticky and make sure you do an application lock prior to flashing.. I personally recommend ookba's 3vo rom and edit everything with Roloracer's titanium filechanger. I also recommend you search this forum for the icon and background thread for some cool backgrounds for your phone. image size for backgrounds are 320x240

RE:
Hey I looked and searched around for the ookba 3vo rom and had no luck. Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it? are there any other things or steps I need to Do before flashing the phone? Do I need a program to flash the phone or is it just like a ROM you would download from T-mobile, hook up the phone with usb, an let the install do the rest? Please help. Thanks man.
Tim

you dont have to look very far, the rom is 3rd from the top of the list!

Very true. 3volution series rom's are the biggest thing since sliced bread here in the dash world. Let me answer a few questions for the thread starter.
Is It just a rom that flashes me to windows 6.5? Can the dash have windows 6.5 on it?

It is the rom itself that will flash you to WM6.5 using the fore mentioned thread will directly link you to ookba's 3vo rom for the dash. Additionally check the Sticky out. (the very first post) it has a list of everything im linking you too.

You don't really need a "program" everything will come in the files downloaded from the 3vo rom thread. The one thing you will need to do is download and install an SDA application unlock found here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355789
After that's done check out this thread on flashing for the Dash, its a little outdated but everything is the same. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225

m2.5 landscape? i kinda have it only a little misplaced

hi all
for what i know everyone says manilla 2.5 isnt possible in landscapemode
i dont know how but ive managed to get it in landscape
it aint perfect because the big icos are misplaced and my background is to short
but i can use landscape made
because i have it possible so the files are somewhere on my phone to make it happen or is this a known thing?
gonna make some pics of how it looks and in the meantime please share youre thought
edit:screens added

Okey dokey.... Mister, this is what we all have :| So, what are you trying to say? you used a prog to landscape your screen then took pics of it to show them to everyone that happened to have the EXACT same thing? Let me tell you, whichsoever way you rotate your device, what you get is the "portrait" Manila! Its not MIS-placed, dearie, it is NOT there!
Advice: Try to change the thread title to "Rally: Let's Port Manila 2.5 to Landscape"
Cheers

man, you are a MEGA terror! I don't want to make a mistake and respond "harshly" as wez puts it...SO, help me out here:
1. Are you telling me that those extraordinary programers (who bust their brains out to port the coolest ever, state of the art, cutting-edge software and give to us for nothing other than a simple thank you) have no life?
2. Or, are you telling me that although you can port Manila 2.5 to landscape, you have a life and therefore you won't do it?
By the way, either answer implies the other... so, good Sir, really, you are an ungrateful jerk and an idiot, who deserves no attention whatsoever...
OUT>>>

One more thing, you have posted 480 times in 7 months period, and you're telling me you have a LIFE? Mate, wake up, you got no life!

i think this thread provides a glimmer of hope for us =]...not to mention possibly the poor people over with the Rhodium who would love to use landscape
this thread would be useful if someone knew which manilla files handled the landscape mode...i'm sure miniterror would be happy to post those files if he knew which ones!

nice one dude... am i missing sumthing here, im assuming that there is a file to install that u will put on here or there is a file that is already on my device

sorry bringing it up again
but it´s been days i´ve been look for some ROM or cab with the manila 2.5 FULLY landscaped
all i´ve found is the default music and photo tabs tilting ones
but i´d like to have all the screens rotated
seen it on older models as touch pro and even on touch hd on some videos
using gsen or gyrator on that roms only gave me a black screen on 2.5 and a useless almost half screen with a lot of glitches on 2.1
guess full landscape support it's possible since touch pro 2 is out some time now and hd2 has been announced
so, guys... is there a way to get manila 2.5 fully landscape mode?
thanks in advance
