[How To][HTC] Add Custom Backgrounds and Accents in Mango - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

Ive been missing Advanced Config and Accent Changer on my hd7 since I upgraded to mango. Over the past two nights I changed around 6 of the default accent colors and added 3 new complete themes.
These will only work with 0409 Lang(US English).
Ive attached some pics but they suck since I cant use any screen capture apps and I had to use my horrible webcam on top of my netbook to get some pics. So if anybody can take some better pics that would be great.
Installation is pretty straightforward. Device needs to be unlocked. Also have to have touchxplorer working in order to move the files to the windows directory.
Its the normal way of editing the mango registry on HTCs. From what I read this would also be possible of Samsungs. Though the provxml's would have to be changed.
These are full themes and even theme some third party apps. Keyboard backgrounds match background color for theme. After switching to a theme a restart is required for some of the theme to take effect like the keyboard background for instance.
Further instructions and files to set device back to all the normal accent colors and backgrounds.
I encourage you to make a backup of your phone before you do this incase anything goes wrong. Since we are editing the registry if it is not written right we wont be able to change it. So make a backup. At least make one using zune 4.8 which will backup everything but what syncs with zune.

Alright I don't know why there is no reply. Maybe the title wasn't clear. I just thought more people would find this useful. Am I missing something. Files have been downloaded 200+ times and no comments. Come on somebody give me some feedback. I changed the thread title, maybe I'll get more hits.
I started making some backgrounds and accents for my girls hd7 and I'll post them too in case anybody wants some girly colors.
Still looking for better pics if somebody installs them in nodo to get some screen captures.

Well I'm super excited!
However I'm also a noob so I need you to dumb down what you did a bit more.
Did you do this in nodo the carry it through to mango or are the HTC phones actually allowed to run touchexplorer in mango?

ok, if you want some replies
accents are nice. if i install the background colors, the design tab gets broken and apps arent able to start.

on Lg Quantum here. would be great to have Accent Changer or HTC route for this as well on Mango. For now I have to go into the registry via MFG and change accents one at a time..Used a website for RGB and hexcode to get the correct numbers and all set until I get sick of my own colors,

Oh crap... That happened to me when I had an error in one of the provxml files(had a space after one of the numbers). I just double checked the file I uploaded to make sure it has the provxml that I fixed and not the one when the same thing happened to my phone. It was the fixed provxml file.
Forgot to mention and I will edit the first post when Im done these will only work with 0409 lang(US English). Maybe this is why it got jacked up.
Not sure why the accents worked though since those have references to the 0409 lang too.

I did this all in mango. If you have touchxplorer installed in nodo before you upgrade to mango and carry over the custclear to unlock mango when it starts up touchxplorer will work after you unlock.

oh now i see
yeah accents work. so if i change the 409 to 407 in the custclear's it shoudl work for german, too? or are in the several xmlx also 409 references?

should work. Can't remember if there is references in the xaml files. But you can open them in notepad. Its only the themeresourses.xaml files that are changed. Just change the 0409 to 0407 and change the names of accent colors to reflect german.
Sent from my HD7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

So, if I wanted to change one of the accents, what all needs to be done? I want to replace one of the greens with a teal. Or, is there a way to change what you already have (just one of the accents)? I see the custclear.provxml, but what or where are you getting the values that correspond to the colors? Thanks.
Also, I just installed the custclear.provxml with your custom accents and mine are now doubled (accent colors)?? Everyone shows twice. And none of the names changed. They still have the old color names when I set them in Nodo using Adv Config.

Thank you!
Gonna try it, hope it works well.

i have mango unlocked with touchxplorer, but how do you transfer the files to the device???
Please be clear in this

i have tried it 10 times, and no success. i look at my registry before i have tranfered the files, insted of HKLM.... i have HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE... and the custclear file wont work? or? and i manage to transfer the files, all of the 2.folder, because i will only the gray theme to add beside the dark and light... and start the connectin setup, it says its done. and then i have no access to themes in the settgins, no more advanced config, and 90% of the apps dont work, even the stock ones dont react, just close... i have an restore and i restore every time and try to manage it but i think it dont work on my Htc. i have switch the second time the language and the location to US (409) but in the registry at the point \accentdisplay... is no 409 there is nothing.

There are a few ways. One that I like to use is the SkyDrive sync: on your PC, go to your SkyDrive account using the web browser. Upload the file there (I think the phone uses the My Documents folder, so put it in that one - you can sync a file from the phone to SkyDriver first to be sure). You'll need to change the extension to .TXT unless you're trying to send a MS Office or PDF file. Then, open the Office hub on the phone, and (after a moment to sync) you should see your file. Open it in Word and then save it to the phone (not just back to Skydrive). You can then use TouchXplorer to grab the file from \My Documents\, copy/move it, and rename it.

[APP] Manila Today Page (MTP) - Today-Plugins in TF3D

Hey guys,
did you seen this new cool tool at the diamond-forum?
This program displays today plug-ins in one of the manila pages.

Greetings,
nick
I like the idea.
With the ROM:s, we actually have the programs tab free, since the programs are reachable via the start menu.
@Nick007
Good find.
Thanks
Did anyone test it till now?
Works well.

Did you have a mod for the same background in all tabs?
If yes, works it with this tool too? (Do you have your custom backround in this modified tab too?)

Yes, it didn't change any other mod. I still have the possibility to change background in all tabs, have different layout, icons etc.
And yes, you can use the same backgrounds from other tabs or you own only for this tab.
Only problem is, that this mod didn't use landscape
There is a problem with this app and dutty's v3.3 with default start menu and programs tab enabled. When u install this software, the last tab in your manila disappears. Mine was Settings, and it was gone... So it was kinda hard to get to settings to change the tab order, but i done it and made the Music tab the last and it's gone but this Today App works fine but there one more thing, try setting "Override tab height" 200 for example in MTP settings, and at the manila tab u will see 2 halfs of backgrounds, aswell as when you hold the Today tab in manila it will show "Today Screen" on the back background, not front
First: Nice work!
It overwrites my Manila preferences page. Now I want to get back the preferences page and map it instead to the stock tab.
How can I achieve this?
you have another solution. In the config app, select today as target page. It will create a new page named today with your today plugins.
I created an extra tab nr.12 (with regedit) and copied the values from the settings(nr.11) tab to the new tab and did a reset then installed MTP did an other reset. MTP shows up as the last tab and your settings tab is still there and also now you're able to move the MTP tab around to the position you want.
From me it deleted the 3rth tab.. my SMS tab... noidea how to get it back, nor do i get an extra tab with MTP options or anything..
went to settings, added **** to my start, softresetted.. nothing..
seems like this program is a hoax ? =/ or am i just tarded ?
works fine for me, it overwrote my settings tab, but i regedited the Tabs so i had the setting tab instead of one of the ones i didn't use anymore (i.e. stocks).
Works a charm!
Works well for me on Miri v24 ROM, however I don't have the background How can I put the same background than my other tabs?
Come on, that's not really nice to say!

Be nice togehter. There are many coders outside who writes pretty good and usefull software. But these guys have only one phone!!!
Not enough money to by every actually phone to write the source for everyone. Or is there a possibillity. Ah yes. Donate and the guys can do that.....
I am a coder too. Not for phones but for industrial automation controls systems. No not Siemens, i am a lucky one .
The today plugin runs on my phone perfect. OK i have an original one. Seen my signautre. But everyone who knows a loittle bit over cocking, cabbing and manila problems, use never the install cab files. Take a klook in the file what he does and do it on the old way. Step by step with your hands and a keyboard.
And another thing is: the most people ~90% forget to do a backup before install new apps. Backup files or the complete phone. However, backup is the trick to come back every time to the original status.
The trick from us users is to feel the toughts from the coder to get an idea what he has done. Why is the button green and not black
The other part of the story is: everybody is free to install apps. Or it is the story - ahh a new driver/app, i MUST have - Why that, we humans are crazy? Thanks god the coders not
Ok back to reallity. Be nice and have respect for the work from others. Many hours of coding, coffee, meal and lovely people in the background that support coders. Give all the time contsructive comments or reports.
Ahh by the way, a report from xda that is an idea. Then every coder can use that doc for user reports. I think i have work todo today.
Have a nice day and cocking, cabbing and gambling wel

In the main settings from MTP there you can select to use the same background as normal, or you can use a own one. There is the possibillity too, to change the hight for your own background.
Play a while with that and you find out new things. I hope it help's.
mike2nl: thanks for your reply.
in settings it is set to use same background, still it is all black, not as my other tabs bg.
I think, sometimes the people don't read the f...g manual. Or better the original thread here.
Ok, there are 79 pages. I have done it and can find out a way on every problem. Why you not? Ok the app is an older one and so as i sayed, the coder can't do it for all the phones and the installed software. My question again. The most of you are using billy soft. Is everyone from you agree what ms have done? I don't think so. But there is all the time a solution for problems. Possible the coder can fix the problems. We have to write down all the facts and inform the owner of the app, because the coder don't take a look in every thread that talks about his app. So be nice and talk with him .
ecb5:
There is a setting for the offset hight for the background. Play a little bit with that. I had have problems too, but in the end i have used a different background. For me it is not so important. Important is that the apps are working. Possible the coder can fix it. We have to write down all the facts and inform the owner of the app. I hoipe it helps a little bit. Otherwise we have to talk again .
Roachie:
You have read the important things in the original thread? Yes? And it is not working? Then you must have done things wrong. I have spoken many people arround me and no one had have problems. What have you done in which way in which steps. Before you talking with this type of words you have todo things that the coder can follow it. But you don't have done that. What do you expect. Sorry but our glass marbless are out yet.
Advise:
Please install it again, step by step. Write down what you have done. Send that to the owner off the app. Then possible you can expect help and support. So long as the owner will do something.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This all here is open source software. That means you have NO warranty of support! All the coders do that about here free will. The coder can say: discontinue. Then there is a problem.
Sometimes i think:
I as a coder, cabber and skinner must stop with my work, because there is more and more no respect for my/our work. At the end you all running without all the good stuff. Only some people have that, the coders....

[MOD]SlideHome ~ Changing Backgrounds in the TF3D Home Tab ~V0.81,Tap to Slide!!!!

So..i have made great progress the last days to present you a beta version of Slidehome.
BIG THX to rotastrain for helping me out and giving me inspiration, without you i would have never made it that fast man!!
What is this?
To put it simple, it is a button which turns automatic wallpaper change on and off. nothing more, nothing less.
If you press the button, your wallpaper on the home screen will change every 5 minutes.
If you press the button again, the actual wallpaper stays.
Why Slidehome?
Because it is fully integrated in the TF3D environment. It uses the least ressources i can imagine for such a function and it does NOT slow down TF3D.
What you get in this package:
a new button in the Album Tab for turning it on and off
20 Wallpapers to get started
What you have to do for it to work:
- install the cab
- make a soft reboot
- choose one of the new wallpapers as Background (located in:My Device/Slidehome)
- press the button in the album tab and see the magic begin!
Things to know:
This thing has been tested on Smabergs Touch X (wm6.1)
You can change the 20 picture count to whatever you want now! if you make a custom list with x wallpapers, just change it to x! (HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/hs_quant)
Of course you can replace any of these wallpapers with your own ones, if you rename them.
You can change the 5 minutes duration for a wallpaper change in the registry (HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/Sliderange)
So..as this is a beta, please tell me if you have got problems with it and if u like it or not!
Slidehome V0.81 is out now!
(Sorry about 0.80, i got something mixed up in that version, now its fixed!)
Changes:
New function to change the wallpaper by one tap! Just tap on the bottom of ur home screen and the wallpaper will change!

Slidehome V0.75 is out now!
Changes:
Better look & feel because the button looks as he is supposed to!(stays on when slidehome is active)
Picture Count changeable so you can have as many wallpapers as u want in the homeslide folder!(HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/hs_quant)
only 20 wallpapers included this time, lightweight package! (if you guys are interested in more wallpapers but do not have the patience to rename ur pics or find it too difficult, i could upload some renamed picture packs!(i could make cabs out of these packs, that would be no problem!))
Download: http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=38663276776523720121
Functions I would like to add:
You can simply choose a folder and all wallpapers in there will be loaded(very very difficult because it is not possible within lua only. If you would like to help me and know C or C++, please contact me!!)
Here is a great simple tool for renaming ur pictures if you would like to use em:

http://rapidshare.com/files/262280032/Slidehome.cab.html
Update:
V0.75 will have: Button looks like its pressed if Homeslide is turned on, so u always know if its on or off at a glance.
old post:
Hey fellas,
as I have got a first working prototype of it right now, I kinda felt like i have to share this with you guys!
This is my first project so..be kind!
The title said it all, its all about changing backgrounds on the home tab. I wonder if anybode else has already done something like that before?! (i am sure i am not the first who came up with that idea *laughs*)
At the moment i have a few issues with the slider bar but we will see...!
So it would be cool if you guys tell me your thoughts about this project and contact me if you would like to beta test it or contribute in whatever kind of way! (i have never build a cab before or so but i think i can figure that out )
Have a nice evening and stay tuned,
Daranus
Don't wanna be harsh, but doesn't the settings tab provide that already?
I dont think so?....(I found out that another one has made a program which does it though..thats a pity but true)
Tell me where?...under wallpaper you can only choose one i think?!...that would be just...*laughs*..not cool, if i am just too stupid to find it...anyways:
I make good progress and if i can resolve one issue regarding requiring a lua file i can put out a beta version this evening!!!
edit:
If anyone could provide help there..please do! I would like to call a function from an embedded lua of another mode9 file in a lua from a different mode9.....so i would have to include this embedded lua in whatever kind of way...could anyone tell me how to pull that off?...simply including the mode9 name doesnt work..
or any workaround to achieve that effect?..ty fellas!
hey fellas, just wanna tell ya that the beta version is out now!
test and report if you feel like it!
Big thx again to rotastrain!
It messed up my Rhodium homepage. The album shows an extra button but none of my photos show up like it did before. Seems like it doesn't support TF3D2 for me. Anyone else experieneces this?
I really dun get what this does to be honest !!??
could you please elaborate a bit on it !?!?
@bmb2n
what rom do u use?
@darkhalf520
i have updated the first post, hope its understandable now
Umn..see lets make it very simple
this program does this
changes the wallpaper of your xperia at a set time interval.
period.
simplicity is good..

I appologize for not reading the heading correctly. This app is intended for X1 only. I used it on my Sprint Touch pro running WM6.5 with TF3D2.
Great concept! I think you're the first to develope this for Manila interface. Any chance to support other platforms such Touch Pro or Diamond?
Thanks
i am afraid im not..as stated in my first post
of course i could try to write it for another version i guess, but you can try the other program out there first!..just search the forums for diamond background changer.
my implementation is more like a mod and that one is more like an app i guess.
it doesn't work for me. i'm running touch X 10.1.
i have the button in the album tab, but the wallpaper doesn't change and there isn't the registry entry
not even the registry entry?!...that would mean the cab didnt install correctly from the beginning i guess?..
please try the new cab i will make..probably tomorrow...!
it should be working if u use touch x though...
new version is out, feel free to check it!
works fine, i searched for the wrong registry key...HKLM instead of HKCU
I have tried installing this on the recent Agent_47 Valkyrie ROM and it does not work. Any fix on this? Thanks
..a bit more explanation would be useful.
what does not work? is the button visible? is it pressable?

sorry about that. The button is not visible. the program loads successfully though
hey man, i have looked up the rom u are using and i guess for the new topaz 2.03 it would be quite some work to port it over.
If there is demand for it i will think about porting it to the new version!
new version is out, feel free to check it out! I for myself love the new function, especially for big wallpaper packs..sometimes you are not in the mood for a certain wallpaper and now, one tap and its gone!

[CAB] launch android from yer start menu

this is my first working cab and im so proud of it. this puts an icon in your start menu so you can easily boot to android without having to navigate file explorer. this is also uninstallable, if you decide you dont like it go to settings > system > remove programs.
i did check with google and you are allowed to use the android robot so this is legal. all i have to do is write this:

Nice icon, my .cabs do this automatically as well. This would be useful for people installing a .rar tho that still want an icon.
Edit: I linked your post for people who still want to use the .rar and have a start icon. I also made a XDAndroid icon for the start menu if you want to use it, although the original icon isn't bad either.

Actually I was gonna break out the Adobe CS4 and see what I could come up with. LOL I just didnt want to do it today, so I made the start menu link, and not the icon.

i didnt know that. i installed from your cab and it never gave me the icon so i figured i had to make my own. this does also install on any device. i got it on my fuze.
I've added this to the wiki.
By the way mine only shows the HaRET icon ... but it is in the start menu. I am using a 6.5 ROM if that helps
edit: icon shows after soft reset
I've added a link on my page to this cab where the .rar package instructions are. Just in case someone doesn't want to use the .cab, but still wants the shortcut. I also made a new icon for my XDAndroid cabs if you would like to use it also I can send it to you.
thats cool. im sure alot of people appreciate that.
i finally installed the newest version of android and haret is in a different place now. if you have something like total commander you can fix the shortcut under its properties. ill upgrade the cab soon for people who want this more stock icon.
Not to rain on the parade (because hard work is always appreciated) but, isnt this the same thing as dualboot from yozgatg? You can use the icon created in start menu on his project to boot straight into android also, with out resetting. Although, I think he's going to be updating dualboot since the path has changed for the install, which you've already noticed Nonetheless, thanks for the contribution.

Sometimes that dual boot app is nothing more than a pain in the ass. Seems more streamlined with just its own icon. I have an icon i install from my .cabs as well. Don't use dual boot anymore.

If I wasn't constantly flashing my phone, id probably stick with the dual boot, but for me eventually it just got monotonous. I may even go back to it once android is more complete, but for now I just went back to the simple things in life.
lol
Also, these guys need to change the registry (unless you know how personally) to look for the "andboot" folder, instead of "android". Nothing major really.

You make a good point. Since I don't use it everyday, I don't ever really need to boot straight into it. I just run it to show off or mess around with it for a little bit. I dont know how to change the registry, but I know the shortcut for this app can be manually changed to look for andboot as mentioned above. i think that's what you were talking about right?
Oh, I think you were talking about dualboot. Yozgatg is actually updating it today so you can set where haret.exe is located to boot from.
Hehe, great minds think alike Here's one I made a while back:

I was sick of haret uglying up my start menu, so I used reshacker to swap the icon with one of my own making. Figured I'd share in case anybody else is interested.
The exe now contains 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 icons, so it should look pretty good on most devices. Just extract haret.zip to your storage card, replacing the existing executable.
For WM6.5 users, I created a cab that will also install a 90x90 png along with a start menu shorcut and the appropriate registry entries.

hi all thanks for great job ,

I have the 6.5 ROM.

This is great because I flash ROM's just about every day and lose my shortcut.
Thanks!

Skype for Bada

I had heard of the mythical native Skype on the "3" UK branded version of the Wave.
But how about seeing it in action...

}
I'm not sure if it's a java app under the hood or a native version of Skype, but I've been after this for months.
The big question is, if we were to get our hands on the "3" UK firmware, do we have the skills or tools to extract the "AppEx" folder which would contain the Widgets and JAVA files, and possibly get to the OSP folder? Or would having the full firmware mean it would be easier to flash it, then extract everything.
Once we have the files, if it's an app we can spoof it, if it's a java file, we can install it.
What do people think? I think we can solve this and get this happening personally.
I guess this is doable.... But right now I am in the middle of my board exams and they will be ending on the 30th of March.... So I will be in the waiting side and watch someone else do it...
Preferrably, it would be easier and quicker if we were able to find someone who actually has a "3" UK Wave.
ok i am ready to do it but someone give me the firmware and a working trix
i can't understand trix every time i try to open it....it says file ***** is missing and no luck with it
The firmware is S8500NEJE6
If someone have a link to download, please tell us
lasentenza, where did you find this info? Am searching for it now.
If we're not able to find it, it should only cost 5 euros to download from Modaco.

There's a 3IE which is "3" Ireland, and then the above to search results. "3" should be Hutchinson I believe.

Correct, the Youtube video link and pics came from badablog.ru. However here is where it gets interesting. The Skype.rar java app you have listed, which I have downloaded and installed myself is not the same "Skype" in the video or pictures. It looks no different than dozens of other java skype apps I've downloaded in the past. Watch the video again, or look at the pictures, and then install Skype.rar and you'll see what I'm referring to. In the pics, it appears to be a native bada version, or at least a new touch screen java app. In reality the app has the java menu at the bottom and none of the menu screens line it. Maybe it's a very early version of the 3 UK Skype, but I don't think so. It has a fancy filename "3UK_021-samsung-touch-no-fake-minimize-jsr211-480x800-i64x64.jar" but apart from that it's an old version of skype.
Sadly the java app inside of the Skype.rar file is not the "3" version of Skype we all want. So the search continues. If we can get the app, then we can go about removing the restriction of only being able to call other "3" phones.

Why do you think so...?? I installed it and it looks exactly as it looks in the video....
You need to disable virtual keyboard and fit to screen to make it look like the one in the video.............
I wasn't able to find the same menus as what I saw in the video. Thanks for the tip on disabling the virtual keyboard, I didn't' know that was independent of an app. I always got it on old java apps, but new ones it wasn't present.

You get those menus after signing in.... which can only be done under '3' network.... In the starting you see that after the guy opens up skype it says signing in.... Thats cuz he has saved hi username and password in skype in his phone.... The program also gives us an option to save it..... But first we need to be able to login to save the username and password!!
you can't install it directly from the jad file either you will have to remove the certificate key from it or you will just install it from the jar file
after some digging in a vodafone branded firmware i found certification keys that the system use to make sure that it is installing a valid app
one of these keys was call vodafone.crt or something like
so i think it is security issue right now not a branding issue
So no ones interested to really do this??? I have checking by this page every 10 mins or so expectin a lot of development to be goin around.....
Well I'm not a programmer myself, but I do like to look inside files and try and see what makes them tick.
If this app signs into the "3" servers then we got out work cut out here. But if maybe we can find the login url or details, maybe we can change this to make it login to skype directly.
This is just the start though. It took long enough to get ahold of these files, so I'd be patient and see what happens from here on out.
good
great bada is growing bigger
And now that Samsung allowed VOIP officially from the 4th of march, no one is going to give a **** about this...
sonalswaroop, that's great news indeed. Where did you read this?
EDIT: Found it

No I suggest leave it for now. I just downloaded your zip and was matching the pics with what came default on my Titan. Those blank templates with accent colours are something new! However, I don't seem to be able to sync those on my phone via Zune.
I think they are probably present on my phone too, but hidden. Those accent coloured wallpapers are the ones we can't see! Only matching ones out of 36 are 24. 12 of those pics aren't present on my Titan! or they are but hidden?

The thing is , i pulled this out from the Windows Folder. I don't know but i think there are still somemore in there, i will double check it.
I am kinda sure there are also availabe in your Titan too.
And i have just double check my Titan, look like it can't sync the Templates Accent Color Picture either...kinda strange....
Thanks for sharing. Will have a look.

They might be hidden somewhere, but how did you manage to explore folders anyway? Thought we needed interop for such things! :s
btw, I've checked the properties of the ones that I can sync against the ones like template accent colour pictures and I found them identical! That doesn't make sense.

hang on... Let me try my luck with Photoshop to another file type.
About exploring the Windows Folder, You just need your Titan unlocked by Chevron Lab tool, and then install the Windows Phone Device Manager.
PS: The thing is, all the templates accent color pictures are stocked in PNG Format which is not recognize-able for Zune. Convert it to JPEG and we will be good.

Windows phone device manager? Is that the app that lets you choose your tile colours etc too? I must have missed out the functionality on this app! Thanks for the tip.
So all wallpapers must a JPEG? Ah! that makes sense - getting on with converting now

Not necessary for making a new agent color and choose it, but the Application pack a lot of useful Functions and yes, i suggest that you should check it out.
And you are sure these aren't visible under Settings -> Lock & Background -> Backgroundimage (or similar)? Because I have some pictures in there as well, that are not whon in the Picture Hub...
The waterfall and flower picture have been around since PPC 2000. Odd?

There is a folder called "Wallpaper" right there and it has everything , even more than what i have put up there.
Well i think i am gonna export them all, i think some people will still like them tho.
I'm pretty sure I dont have all these under "wallpaper". Definitely not the accent colours

make sure you do these steps:
Setting => Lock+Wallpaper => Choose Wallpaper.
They are all hidden in "Pictures" hub.
