[THEMES] For New Manila (Landscape) METAL V2

EDIT 17/7/09
I would like toy inform you, that these themes was made for the first manila topaz versions. I am not sure if they work with the last versions and I haven't device to test.
LASER THEME [NEW]
You can find the CAB of the theme at the attached files
Follow my instructions to make your backgrounds
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3436086#post3436086
TESALAT METAL V2 THEME
I will start with Metal Theme V2
This theme it made only for ROMS with new Manila V3.
You can install it with the cab "Tesalat_Metal V2_Theme".
Very easy to come back at your original Background. Just go settings/System/Remove Programs and remove my CAB, needs a soft reset after.
The clock at the screenshots it is a digital transparent version and you will find at the CAB "Digital_Transparent_CLOCK"
There is an other digital clock transparent also but with white contour around. You will find it at the CAB "DIGITAL_CRYSTAL_CLOCK"
You can use also the classic manila clocks which you can find HERE:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488058
Of course you can put also the very nice Max analog & flip clock For Dutty's rom (thanks Max).
Maybe I will have new tab icons tomorrow. I have a small problem with the stock icon.
Fonts are from GODZSON (Thank you very match). You will find them at the CAB "GODZSON_Hall Feica Font TF3D"
TESALAT METAL V1 THEME
The only difference between Metal V1 and Metal V2 it is that V1 in portrait background hasn't the Windows Logo.
You can find the CAB for it here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3427873&postcount=24

Of course!!!
I have also 1.9
By the way 1.9 is better than the newest versions. Very nice sound, video & YouTube. It is first time from November, I have so good sound in my HD and believe me I have flash and test all the WWM roms.
Except the very fast TF3D, 1.9 has very good benchmark.
I keep V2 one day for test and I came back directly at 1.9
Zero problems and about notifications, I didn't see something different at V2.
So I stay with 1.9 and I am very happy because I keep something from rubbish and I make my work perfectly.
The only general problem for new manila roms, it is the battery.
I will check another radio, but my opinion is: new roms they have problem with the management of energy.
I receive a new battery from Netimes 1500 MA and I am OK

Tomorrow I think will be all ready. It very late now and maybe I 'll make something wrong
Maybe I will have new tab icons also.
At these themes you can use the new crystal skin for the Digital Clock or any other classic manila transparent clock.
Of course you can put also the very nice Max analog & flip clock (thanks Max)
Here the screenshots so as you have an idea.

thanks

Those files were posted so I can check something. He posted them at my request. Those are not the "complete theme". Those are only the files that change the wallpaper. If you want only to change the wallpaper them with total commander, on your phone, you have to paste those 4 files in the windows directory, overwriting all files. Then you have to go to settings -> today -> itens and disable the touchflo3d and then re-enable it

Rhodium start menu icons help

I'm using Dutty's 2.3 Xtreme ROM. The startmenu is based on the Rhodium roms (looks like the program tab, but with nicer icons ). However, the good-looking icons are only those that came with the rom, for example WMPlayer, settings, file explorer, etc. When you add a shortcut from lets say TomTom, it looks all crap with jagged edges. It's seems the iconholder upscales the icon or something so it's no longer at it's native resolution. I would like to be able to change the icon used for a certain shortcut myself to perhaps a higher resolution alternative.
It seems the used icon is controlled bij strings in HKLM\software\HTC\Manila. The string's name is the .exe used in the shortcut. It contains a file location to \windows\MPI_xxx.qct (\windows\MPI_wmplayer.qct, \windows\MPI_camera.qct, etc.). I know this, because when I change the path in lets say the wmplayer.exe string to that of the file explorer MPI file, the icon changes in the start menu. However, when I make a new string with a stringname for tomtom (tomtom navigator.exe) and make it's value the same as the fileexplorer, nothing happens...
So... help? I don't know what to try next due to my limited knowledge on the subject. Who can help me devise a way to use custom icons in the new startmenu?

You have to use the full path, not just the file name. Also, you have to use quotes.
For example: I wanted Resco File Explorer to use HTC's explorer icon, so I created a new string with the name:
"\Program Files\Resco Explorer\Explorer.exe" (quotes included)
And value:
\windows\MPI_fexplorer.qtc (no quotes here)

Hi there... I also want to change Program Icons in my HD. Is there a complete guide on how to do this?
Please help... Thanks in advance!

Is this what you guys are looking for?: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513501

Yes... Thanks! Can I use it in WM 6.5? Just want to know because I dont want to do a hard reset when I fail.

I change my program icon directly in the program.exe file. this way both from startmenu and programs show the new icons. use resource hack to do it. you can also hack into the installation cab and change it there. so every time you change rom and reinstall, the new icon is there. just my way......need helpon that you can pm me

No for WM6.5 start menu icons look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507299 and here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=481379 hope that helps!

Thanks for help and advice m6silver. I appreciate all your help because Im not very good when it comes to customizing icons.
Thanks for the links gfreek... It's working great and Im also using your WM6.5 Medium size and Wm 6.5 Extra Start for Folders. Thanks to you for that nice and easy to install cabs.
Now my only problem is the icons in Manila "Program" I want to change it to High Quality Icons.

[CAB][26 nov 09] Taskbar UNINSTALLER or STOCK ICONS installer ...whatever but reverts

OK many users have asked me to revert changed (skinned) taskbar icons back to the stock XPERIA ones (most taskbar skins are currently uninstallable, but not when the user has over-installed a new CAB or when they are pre-cooked into a ROM)
I have prepared two CABs with all the XPERIA stock files
These CABs will revert all of the taskbar icons to the original stock ones
Choose the proper CAB for Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5
THIS IS BETA
PLEASE TEST AND REPORT
[26 nov 09] EDIT:
I have prepared a CAB to re-install the STOCK XPERIA battery only, registry keys included, for WM6.5 ROMs (could be compatible to WM6.1 ROMs too, so please test)

is there a way to just replace the wait icon for 6.5 from the green SE bouncy one..

YES it will be done, for sure
I'm currently dissecting 6.5 files
Just let me finish the surgery and I will report after washing my hands

dissect away...because the 6.5 unistaller doesn't work..i had to reflash today

It's the registry...
I've found many differences between 6.1 and 6.5
Still learning how the new OS works

trust me i know too well how tricky the registry in 6.5 is..i've had to reflash about 5times in 2 days because of the damn registry..im currently trying to find a way to change the font in titanium without having to modify the .cpr file..hw's ur surgery coming along

modifying the font ??
1- Get your new font, rename it to tahoma.ttf
make a copy of your font and rename to tahomabd.ttf
2- Open both with font creator (http://www.high-logic.com/fontcreator.html)
Go to Autonaming
3-Change the name of your font to "Tahoma" and "Tahoma Bold" respectively. Save both
4- Copy your "tweaked" tahomas to /windows/ (replace the stock ones) -> reset
Done
PS: I can not test the WM6.5 CAB untill I get my WM6.5 ROM absolutely finished and streamlined to the Sony OEM software package, then I will test

thanks you very much

Thanks for making the cab - unfortunately I can't seem to get it to work.
I'm installing it over Jack's Full 3.3 ROM, which has Anx1 Tsowen Taskbar by default.
After installation, the taskbar icons are completely blank, and all the other icons in the start menu, file explorer, etc. are corrupted, eg. folders have the internet explorer icon.
Any ideas for a fix?

This CAB restores the tweaked files only
You can ask ANGELUSZ for the required registry changes (they are just 2 values I guess)
Once you change those registry keys back, all will return to normality

thank you very, very muvh!

the cab didnt work.. i got the same results as _Robert_ did, all the icons disappeared, and there were just blank spaces.
i tried this fix though, something about using MAX TF3D and restoring the original icons:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507216
but anyhow, thanks very much for your help, gtrab!

Anyone who know how to get stock icon files in windows mobile 6.5 ?
Or to change the them ? Please help

Hey so i just installed the WM6.5 icon pack and it all works and all but you recieve the charging symbol even after you unhook the device after charging
EDIT:NEVERMIND

Hey,
great cab, reverted everything except for the volume control on Kisja's WM6.1 Sense 2.5 RC1 rom. Any fix for this?

THIS IS FOR THE XPERIA X1 USER INTERFACE
Manila/TouchFlo/Sense phones use a different, customized phcanOverBMP.dll (which contains the taskbar icons)
So this CAB is not recommended for sense/manila/tOUCH flo devices
Try at your own risk
Why some people think
PS: If you are using a cooked ROM which includes manila, then ASK THE COOKER, because installing XPERIA STOCK files over MANILA will creatre a MESS of course.
Why some people think XPERIA has "native manila ?? Thiat's a Blasphemy !!

I just used the Stock XPERIA X1 battery icons WM6.5.cab on the H.V4 Sense Rom and so far it works with no problems.

hello everyone. i want the colored 6.1 style start button on my 6.5. will this 6.1 stock cab help? is there another way to do it?

Is it possible to convert an iconset from 6.5 for use on 6.1 ?? Is there a gd guide I could start from ?

[APP] manila v2/v3 High res background creator no align issues apr-20

Here is a background creator for manila version 2 and 3. I looked into getting it to work with stock roms such as 1.14 and I couldn't get it to overwrite the files on my device.
You can load any image into it and it will auto stretch the image and retain high resolution. You can add a watermark to a photo with drop shadow and/or glow, to give you a chance to add your own touch to an image.
This was implemented with the help of chainfire's cfc console app.
Anyways enjoy!
Instructions: DO NOT USE MaxTTM unless you want a black line in your BG
Run M3dBackground.exe
click on select file and select an image (it will auto stretch it to full screen)
add text if desired, and hit generate previews to confirm it is what you want. then hit save images and select a folder to save to.
the cfc process takes a good while, so be patient.
shut down manila. (start -> settings (all settings) -> today (under personal tab) -> items tab -> uncheck TouchFLO 3D
find the 4 files that end with manila that were created in the directory you selected, and copy them to your windows directory on your phone.
restart manila. (start -> settings (all settings) -> today (under personal tab) -> items tab -> check TouchFLO 3D
Done!
works with manila v2 and manila v3 for the Touch HD
Requirements:
Touch HD
Manila V2 or V3
.NET 2.0 or higher framework
CONFIRMED WORKING ON THE FOLLOWING ROMS:
-Dutty's HD XTREME series
Program is based on the information provided by Rozenthal.

Oh boy Very nice work! I don't know if you saw it, but someone made a similar application after my presentation of the wallpaper issues in that post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
The principle is the same, but with a few differences - namely, that app uses separate source images for the landscape and portrait, but the sizes have to be exact as the output (480x696 and 800x403).
Perhaps you could team up with Maranello and see if you two can cook up something to solve the fact that these work only with new Manila, and not the v1 stock Manila.
And also, there is still an issue of how to workaround the fact that the images seem to be 1 pixel misaligned (not your fault, Manila is the problem). I think ChainFire (author of CFC) knows something about what's causing this and how to solve it.
In any case, this is very nice contribution and I thank you for the effort!

Thx man, this is my first post, so here are some wallpapers created with your great app. Working on Dutty's_HD_V2.9_XTREME.

I did the above and copied manila files into windows and restarted TF but nothing happened, any advice???
Cheers

Its nice but I am really keen on the backgrounds and as you can see your screen of the colored bg, the lower part is off by few pixel...not so good to use when ur using detailed background design.
Either its slightly off or theres that line again inbetween. (building screenshot)

believe me ... no one will notice when it's on my device. a few pixels?? i'll never worry about it! this tool works great!

So my device says "TouchFLO V3.0 build 32567" I guess this is different than the manila version as this does not work for my HD.
Would love to see this compatible with the old manila!!!

I'm not sure. I have the latest from HTC's official roms 1.56 on my HD currently and I don't see any difference in the manila from the shipped rom of 1.14
So my guess is that 1.56 is still the old manila, please correct me if I'm wrong.
HTC hasn't updated the manila in any of their roms yet from what I understand.
