Hello all, new here.
I just bought a brand new HTC Touch Pro a few days ago. I absolutely love this phone. There's just one little issue I'm having with it...
I'm trying to make the interface/theme/desktop/wallpaper/whatever just like it is on the HTC site. I don't even know what that theme is called or where to find it, it didn't come loaded on my phone. Anyway, here's the problem... I've loaded up a bunch of different themes and stuff, some TF3D some not, and no matter what I load up the TF3D interface/theme always remains this ugly pale green Alltel branded skin. The menu bars and fonts and stuff will change with whatever theme, but everything in the middle in the TF3D area will not! HELP!!! What do I have to do to fix this?
Also, I went to the HTC site and tried to do the ROM update (I currently have v1.05), entered the SN and it said: "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
So in summary, I need help with the following:
1) What's the theme on the HTC site called and where can I find it?
2) How do I get rid of the ugly Alltel TF3D skin? (I can provide pictures of what I'm talking about if it'll help any)
3) What's up with the ROM update? Can I get it from somewhere else? Should I do it at all?
I would be most grateful for any and all help you all can provide!
Thanks in advance!
Can anyone help?
The update worked today for me.

Hi guyz
I found this theme somewhere here before but I couldn locate where is it now. It has a lot of tsk files for HTC today plugin. Anybody can give me the link?
htc home dont have anything to do with theme tsk files
any tsk file since pocketpc2000 works just fine
so what you are really looking for is pretty much just
a background picture
Its a tsk file that I have downloaded from this forum...the one I posted is call "moon and tree" and they have a lot more but I forgot the thread title...the reason im looking for that tsk files is that it is created in way that top portion of the picture is black to suit the HTC home and the bottom part has various picture....

anybody on this please, really appreciate it...thanks
Can I ask a really noob question?
When I bought my phone (htc p4350) it had a htc-home 'plugin'. When I select it, I never get this nice weather nor a big clock or anything. I just get a big blank part on my screen.
Now I downloaded from this forum some htc-home plugins, but I never get them working. I install .cab files and still nothing changes on my phone. I ad and remove home items but it remains a big nothing.
WHy can't I get this to work? Somehow phones fail on me. I have extended knowledge of computers and Windows XP, programming, etc. yet I can't get a simple home plugin to work on my HTC phone.
I have searched on this forum for 'htc home plugin' or 'htc weather' and get many hits. But I still can't get it to work. I must be missing some very basic skills here, something that's not being explained because it is so obvious... like switching on the phone (I did THAT!)
Please help this idiot.

I might not be right but I think its under the thread Post Your Today Screen
I work for Telstra and have been a wm follower for quite some time. However the rom released with the Telstra HTC HD has been butchered to say the least. The weather tab is gone and has been replaced by 4 different Telstra Tabs. The rom has telstra branding all over which is annoying and it also has a few known issues with lag and glitches. I like to for my good customers to have a cooked rom put on but they including myself miss out on things like foxtel on mobile and the bigpond portal which comes in handy some times.
So my question is is there a sepperate app that can be put on to allow foxtel or is there some sort of work around.
I know this question is only aimed at aussie users but any input would greatly be appreciated.
hey mate,
Yeah i had to same problem when i got my telstra hd.. hated it! so i have flashed it but would love to have the foxtel shortcuts in start. Im sure some fellas here could extract certain things if you provide them with a link to the official telstra rom..
if not i could try but aint guranteing anything! lol
i've never actually dumped my rom just got the phone out of the box the first day it came out and flashed half hour later so if someone does have a telstra rom post link please. I'd be willing to donate to whoever can extract.
well i guess theres nothing on this than.
Load the 15 tab cab
Guys, this has been discussed before. Simplest option is to load the 15 tab cab, it removes 99% of the Bigpond and Telstra stuff and gives you back the weather etc
that is a fix yes however the rom itself still has a number of issues and call me odd but i like having dutty's rom's on my phone. having searched on the blackstone forum i couldn't find anything. a link would be great.
My phone was bought for me by my employer so I don't want to muck around too much with things in case I stuff something up?
Will installing a new ROM void my warranty? Is this 15 Tab addon involve flashing?
All I want to do is get rid of all the Telstra crap and have my weather tab back. Should I just install the generic ROM update off the official website to keep my warranty?
adding a new theme will not void your warranty. If you do want to mucj around with the rom make sure you dump your telstra rom first so you can always go back to it.
This link may help you
Have a look through this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483199
At post 45 you will find a cab you can download on custom ROMs like Dutty etc.
Cheers
Telstra
Hi all not to sure how this 15 tabs goes ... gotta test it my self but i did find a cab install that called touch flo 3d for hd that installs on any ppc phone and when i installed it on my HD it restored the eather and stocks tabs and also the customising option while keeping the telstra stuff as well ... this is not the esult I wanted but it sounds like the one you guys need and you dont need to reflash, one thing though this is a pretty big file and it takes a wile to install so be patient ... dunno who developed it but thaks to that guy or gal who ever they are cheers. get the file from here - http://rapidshare.com/files/194374786/TF3D_HD.CAB.html
Hi,
please help an HD newbie...
I like the standard TouchFlo on my, more or less, still standard HD but would simply like a plain black background on all the Tabs/Pages or whatever (The home/weather/ music etc ).
Can anyone give me a simple cab or something equally straighforward to do this?
Also, I have a different contacts program running (funcontacts) It is called fine when I call it from contacts via phone etc but NOT from the People tab, All People button. How do I get my HD to do this please.
Any help much appreciated!

The cab below should give you the same background image across all TouchFLO tabs. Install it and soft-reset. As far as I know you cannot re-map the "All People" softkey from the People tab...
Thanks
Thanks CW,
Going out for an hour but I'll try when I get back. Thanks again,
Scott
No Go
Thanks CW but I'm afraid it only partially worked. All the tab screens went black but the ino at the top of each went really weird and cr*ppy!
Anymore ideas anyone please.

I should have looked earlier at what rom you are running. You have quite an older version of TouchFLO in your rom. The cab I posted was intended for a much newer one. That's why it didn't work as I described it would. You could look into Maxycy's software to customize your TouchFLO. Other than that, I don't know what else still supports the older version.
Stupid question?
Why is it an old ROM in a brand new phone?
Shouldn't it be bang up to date? I had to wait for delivery because they were waiting for 'new' phones!
Am I just stupid?

No, HTC / the vendor is. Said you had a 1.19.xxxx rom when they have up to 1.59.xxxx released now. You should look into updating it. Are you interested in custom roms? If not, you should still look into updating to the latest official rom
in fact even the most recent stock roms (provided by operator) are often outdated compared to the roms you can find here (@xda)
they are mostly based:
newer builds of wm6.1 or wm6.5beta
some parts from other (newer) devices
optimzed and customized by the authors
i suggest you to read the hd section to see what u can do with your phone
Will do guys, thanks.
BTW, got my black screen on all tabs! Just had to do a bit of work and use Manila Editor. I will take a look at custom ROMs but they scare me
Maybe I'll pluck up the courage, just worried I'll brick my device!
Thanks again.

Flashing is easy if you are well informed beforehand. Just do the research before you flash. Read the Wiki and my guide on flashing roms. Links are in my signature.
I see from the HTC website that a new ROM is available :
http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=717&news_id=300
Has anyone got a download of this, as my TP2 is Vodafone branded!
Thanks
Cheers! Downloading just now! Will let you know how it goes!
Me Too!!
I'd love to get my hands on this too!! Mine is T-Mobile branded and the serial gets rejected.
EDIT: The new ROM has been posted here but you still can not download if you do not have a premium account with RapidShare.
Think there must be a lot of people downloading. Im crawling at 23kbps - normally get about 350. It's dropped a lot in the last half hour.
Liking it so far. Icons are updated, but homescreen isn't really changed. Weather affects the whole homescreen, so when going back to it, just now the whole screen is rainingv - quite nice. Settings menu is much better. When going into settings for the today screen, HTC Sense is listed, but the homescreen doesn't match that of the pictures of the Leo, with the contacts and favourites on the home screen.
Nice so far.

Does it have manila 2.5 or 2.1?
I managed to download it on the rapidshare link.
I have the TMO US version, do you know if I will have problem with the keybord layout after installing it?
Anybody with the TMo version installed it yet?

Just installed the (non-branded) upgrade, and i can see there's no manila 2.5... It's just the 2.1version!!!!!!!!!
Personnaly, i don't get it, what can be the reason not to provide tp2 users with it... seriously, i think manila 2.1 has no use at all.
Well i just spent 2hours setting & sync-ing my phone right... for nothing
BTW be carefull with the "myphone" service: i've lost near 1/3rd of my text messages because of it
Yeah, I don't understand why they didn't upgrade to 2.5. Is anyone else having trouble using the facebook integration? I can use the facebook app fine, but cannot login to facebook to link contacts to their facebook. I get a Input error - connection failed.

WM 6.5 Update
Hi, my ROM version is 1.19.401.1 and apparently the update is not suitable for me. Can anyone explain/help me with this? I've already sent a message to HTC trough their web page but still no answer.
Many thanks in advance,
Already a sticky there in "ROM development".

Hello Guys I have been on this site Forever and have never needed to ask a question because it seems like you guys beat me to it. But I just Downloaded the UPGRADE for Sprint touch pro 2 and I have some concerns. I love the new layout but Is there a way someone could give me the old contact layout on the 6.1 I like how it looked and it placed everything in alphabetical order and it just seemed cooler(I know I know) 2nd thing is there anyway we can change the background on all the tabs like the 6.1 HD wallpaper cabs? Thanks Guys
I'm with U on this. I like the people tab layout on 6.1 from the raphael (touch pro) devices as well. It has that Rolodex swiping motion/animation like u would in the photos tab. I've searched around to see if anyone has done this yet to no avail...
