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.

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)

Add some stuff in manila3d todayscreen??

Hello,
just got my tp2 and had before a kaiser. I tryed a serval of rom's with and without that manila plugin and at least i stayed with the regular todayscreen cause it was easy for me to add stuff to the today scree like a messenger so i can see how many people are onine and whatever....
now i wana try to stay with that manila screen, but i'm realy pissed by the today screen, cause i don't know how to add more then just the clock, schedule and missing calls ... quite boring...
so please, can somebody tell me if its posible to add more? i was already looking around, but i coudn't find anything. maybe somebody is having a link for me?
thank you!

Please read the forum before posting. It's in the top sticky in this section. App is called Manilla Today.

Eyh m8, I did not make this thread, but I looked for manilla Today. Can't find it. There was something like manilla startmenu, to get the old menu back, but that isn't what he is asking for.
I agree with you people should search and read the stickies before posting, but can't find it myself either now.
Can you please provide a link? THanks!
Did find something with the search funtion, but don't think it does what Tabsco is asking for?

i also just found the sticky to change back to the regular screen, but i wanna try to keep on using the hole manila thing, i just want to add more things (todo-list, messanger, etc.) to the manila today screen.

Here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102\
It will replace one of your TF3D tabs and use that like a normal Today screen in WM. Some people like the convenience of having SPB Mobile Shell run on that pane and others like to use it with Pocketbreeze for quick glance information. I'm hoping that we get a port of Sense UI to the TP2 soon.

ok, thanks! i'll check that link soon ... but out of ur mesaage it seems so that it not yet posible to to make manila screen more comfortable (didn't took real look to the link yet)
i'll just check ur suggestion on monday. i hopefully find something with a better look then the regular wm todayscreen.

Background on all tabs? TouchFLO 3d 2.1.38411.0

Hi iv been looking around as id like all my backgrounds the same image but when i apply the tweaks that a few people are saying it distorts my whole touch flo program and crashes it why is this happning are the tweaks only ment for 2.5?

I would like to know that too. IS there a chance to have the same background on all Tabs?

Background For all Cabs for touch flo 2.1
Here is a cab which i found which worked for me on touch flo 2.1. Hope it works.

thx i'll try it
edit: I have tried it on manilla 2.5, but nothing happens. I mean how to run it after I install cab. NOw I am flashing a new rom with manilla 2.1 to see if it will work. But glad to see, that such a tool exists. If you can provide more info about this tool

I recommend trying HDWalls can be found in the forum with a search, this works perfectly on my manila 2.1, very easy to use as well, I make all my wallpapers with it, excellent app.

cheers
Cool thanks for the feed back there the reason i know it does work was i managed to download a cab a while ago and right enouth it worked but i though ill get fly and try a few other cabs but unfortunutly they must be version dependent,
i know the method of over wrighting 2 windows files i tryed to look through my windows enabling hiden files but could not find the 2 files listed on most topics,
ill try your update thanks alot for the feedback,

Thanks
Brilliant cheers badbrowne this sorted the issue it is working perfect all tabs running my main tab image that was simple could not find this answer,
This should be added to the sticky part thats a great saves me from having to hard reset,

how did it work for you? or is it simple but you just have to have manila 2.1 ? only needs to run this cab file and that should be it? thx

Yea
I just downloaded the cab posted sent it to my device insatlled it to my storage device not the external memory and restarted my touch hd make sure your fone is the stated resalution though or this may end up destorting your tf3d theme, if you have the wrong screen type,

yes with the new flashed rom using manila 2.1. It all went good. Very happy now. Thank you all

This does not work on weather clock versions.

Works for me..
gr8 work, thanks a lot..

Ty ty ty ty
does not work on tf3d 1.2 but greatly works on my tf3d 2.1
thanks a lot dude ^_^
I just noticed the home page slider is transparent while the slider on other tabs remains

BG4all Manila 3.0

Forgive me if this has been sloved, but I have searched for over a week and come up with nothing.
I have tried m9editor, HDWall, ThemeGenerator all with no success with regards to getting the same background on all the TF3D tabs.
It seems that all of these are designed for Manila 2.5
So, has anyone come up with a method or app for achieving this in the new manila?
A point in the correct direction much appreciated.

I do think that you are reffering in deed to Manila 2.5 instead of 3.0. As far as I know there is not any 3.0 out. But I am having the same problem with the last manilla version, mine is 2,5.19202525 and the fix that was created for old 2,5 is not working any more. When I have tried to install the all back grounds for all tabs I had to hard reset my device, because it was allocating some weird squarte close to the clock at the home tab. Therefore I am also waiting for any fix or any solution that could work for the last manilla version.

If you check the settings tab on Touch Flo instead, it should say something like:
About
TouchFLO 3D 2.0.37889.1
Which is what mine says. This means my touch flo is version 2.0 (from the 2.0.37889.1). Therefore, check yours and search the forums for this. You should also back up your data before trying any of them though as my experience is that these can sometimes mess up your today screen if you don't get it right!!!

On the TF Settins Tab:
About
TouchFLO 3D 1.3.37395.3_1630.38
So does this mean that it is version 1.3 as your post would suggest?
Maybe this is why the App's don't work?

that is correct...
what device do you have. i would look at ppcgeeks. they have a section for manila (aka touch flow 3d) tweaks and mods. let me know if you need anything. as i have all these files still just need to make a cab of them. are you on a stock rom? make sure you pm me as im very rarelt on xda anymore and finding this post will be difficult
by the way touch flo is the app that makes it scroll with your finger through windows or any app. and touch flo 3d is the interface that your using

Thanks for the advice.
Having a look through ppcgeeks.
Device is an Orange branded Touch HD. With latest Orange issued ROM (as detailed in post above).

Animated backgrounds for TP2

Im sorry to have to post a new thread I am all about searching and reading I was just looking for a kickstart towards the animated backgrounds Ive seen clouds thus far where they move around the home screen.. I am running WM 6.5 on a T mobile TP 2 if thats any importance... Thanks in advance
Also it nothing to do with my phone but the forum in general.. Which profile tab is the one where everyone lists their devices, programs, I thought it would be a signature but ive yet to see a "Signature" section

52 views and no responses?! did I not explain what I was looking for good enough? sorry to mislead the 52 people who have read the post I dont have animated backgrounds/ screen savers to offer but geez I was just looking for some help. Do I need to put this into a diffrent forum ive been learning here since my wing, tytn II, Hero but the touchflo is all new to me. Doesnt anyone have an answer?

You need to flash a cooked ROM with HTC Sense 2.5, unlike the 2.1 included in most stock 6.5 ROMs. Sense 2.1 doesn't support background animations, and you can only get Sense 2.5 in a cooked ROM.
And FYI, this forum is not HTC technical support and none of us are getting paid to be here, so it may take awhile before someone answers your questions. Just relax and wait for an answer, your thread has only been open for 3 hours so there's no reason to worry

Re: your question about your "signature". At the top of this page on the left under the title of the thread you'll see "User CP" click that. In there look down on the left hand side and look for "edit signiture" its about 8 levels down. In there you can write what you are running on your phone. That will give people a better idea as to how to help you.
Now, Regarding your question about animated backgrounds.... not sure I follow. what exactly are you looking for? Are you looking for animated backgrounds for your phone? Unless you have a rom running on your phone that is HTC sense 2.1 or any 2.5 (notice it's not a regular 2.1 but a SENSE 2.1) you wont be able to have animated backgrounds. Now, that said, IF you do have Sense 2.1 or any 2.5 rom running you can't just use any normal backgrounds in order to have the weather go across your screen. You'd have to use HDwall to make your jpg/png wallpaper a different file (the file that is compatable with weather wallpaper.) it does so automatically. Just take a look here HD Wallpaper Cab and have a read through.
Again you HAVE to have a compatable rom running on your phone. If you are running a stock rom odd's are it isnt compatable. I reiterate... it HAS to be sense 2.1 or 2.5.
Alot of the roms that are capable of this feature actually have a list of wallpaper options built in. I'm currently running the energry leo rom which is HTC 2.5. In there we have the option of a few weather backgrounds. You can check out the screen shot attached. You can find those roms in the rom subforum of the rhodium forums.

Thankyou Dave and thankyou Aaron.. It seems im going to have to weigh my options and flash this phone as well Ive done my wing ive one my tytnII so why not do another.. Thanks for the help ill be setting up the signature when I get home from work today.
