I'm afraid those screens are in ROM, as the logos appearing when you place or receive a call.
Still didn't check if the "Cooking Recipees" available do apply as well for the Excalibur so atm wouldn't really be able to suggest a way to change them.
Ka.

I added the keynumber thingy I got from surreal apps then deleted it.My calling screen disappered.I still have the things on the phone they just dont show up anymore.Just some information.

Path problem?

Hi there,
I noticed when trying to open a file with for instance pqview, I can only see the my documents directory. I know there´s a fix for this somewhere on this forum, I only have not be able to find it with the search feature...
Does someone know what to do?
Thanks

Anyone any idea?

Please please? I know there´s a fix for this somewhere on this forum. Just can´t find it. Would really appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction

for starters...
update ur signature. tell us ur phone version ur rom ur radio and the details of who cooked the rom.
second more details on ur question such as the app u were using to open with.
i dont have this problem. the apps always show two three or four options as to base location to choose from.
either my device. storage card. network. or extended rom if unhidden.
these r usually located at the top left as a drop down.
u may have lost ur sd card... if indeed that is where ur looking.
in the end dude... urnt a noob with that many posts either that or u have been flamed some.
first signature. then lots more details. we r not mind readers n dont have time to bugger around with people who ask such half baked questions with inadequate details to give u an answer.

yes... which api are you using?

Thanks for the replies. I'm using the LVSW version WM6, of 26th march, for the Hermes. The program which has the issue, is pqview.
I have not lost my SD card. It is accesible through file explorer

can you post a link of the pqview website...

Walshieau, I don't know. I downloaded it from the "Rocking software" section on this site. But it's no longer there. Well, do you know of any other good picture viewer then? With easy zooming/thumbnail overview?
Regards.

I don't find the build in app easy. To zoom for instance, one must go to options, zoom. I like to see thumbnails as well.

@dmxl
Here is the link to the thing.
You will also find a nice flash animation on how to use it here - it is showing pictures like one attached.
Please use Google first. This is not a support forum for PQView.

Thank you. However, if I would have been able to open the pictures, I would not have posted.

The attached picture is printscreen of the instructional flash presentation there which tells how to open a different directory. In short to open a directory other than My documents there is a way: In Pqview tap file>>Open Image>>you see open file screen which offers my documents folder for browsing, if you tap the screen directly above left top edge of this box you will get dropdown box in which you can choose to browse : your device (which means you can browse further for whatever file you have on your phone) or My documents. See attached screenshot. It does not show the caption of the current folder for me but you can clearly see where to tap if you want to open a file wrom within PQView. I managed to open some pictures so you should be able to do so too.

I can't find the background for all tabs .cab

I had it at one point, but don't know where I put it when I uninstalled it to try some other things. Can somoene post the link, I keep coming up with the manilla thread (and I don't use manilla)

here you are
PS: What do you mean I don't use manilla?

haha sorry, I didn't catch that. I meant I'm not familiar with doing this stuff manually.
thanks tho!

here's a link to nisse's background for all tabs including a couple of cool backgrounds. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
I however am unable to get it to work. I have tried running manila and have managed to get 4a087e41_manila (background picture) file on there but cant seem to get the 5c9aa261_manila as it says it's copyright protected and wont delete or replace the file. I'm running dutty's v1.7. Any help with this would be appreciated maybe a step by step if it's not too much to ask.

hey guys !
there is a dedicated thread "TF3D collection" that contains all what you need to customize the TF3D, and the background for all tabs .cab was in there
please use the search function, or check the sticked threads before posting a question

Yeah, just open any layout xml file and voila. It's really hard to *not* find it.
Maybe you don't have ADT installed?

uhhh
sorry that was a really dumb question
the problem was i openend the xml files and they opened in text view as standard and i didnt see the layout tab underneath

At the last i made my custom ROM,now comes the questions?

Hello, atlast after 3days of download and work i have made a custom Rom that has my name on it with HTC Desire HD stuff and updates but now what i need to ask is :
1) how can i put my name Rom name in the Notification like RCMix or the others?
2) any easy way to make boot screens or animations or so found but that i can edit or anything?
3) any way to make a custem theme there is only the online thing and sadly i dont knw how to use it or its limited, i want like AuraxTSense is it possible?
4) if i have a update.zip file that has in it an .apk can i take it and add it to the app section and it will work normaly?
that is it for now thanks a lot for all the help i get and links....

To add your own version number, open the build.prop file and add it to the end of the 'Software version' line

To build themes from scratch, I believe that you'd have to rip apart the res-framework.apk.

mmm ill give this a try and see what i can reach but are there tools to change or its just rip and have fun

If you change the .apk to .rar you can extract and see some jpegs and whatnot in their folders. This should be the one to edit.
Then again, these are the things I've picked up from the chatter between the more senior and tech-savvy.
