My current WM6 ROM won't install themes either.
Don't know if they did something to make them incompatible but I get the same problem you have.

\WINDOWS\ folder is where they should be placed...

I've seen what you're talking about. If you're running Windows Vista and trying to copy files to your device, it won't let you browse to the \WINDOWS\ folder to do anything.
Try using File Explorer and copy the file from wherever you have placed it and paste the copy in the \WINDOWS\ folder. It may also work in your My Documents folder, but I'm not 100% on that. The \WINDOWS\ folder should work though so that it shows up as an option in your "Today" options.
I use one that's got a Windows Vista Ultimate feel to it and like it a lot.... it's called BLGLOSS.TSK and I hope that my file attachment worked! I'm still quite the n00b at this stuff but have been madly cooking roms with Pandora, etc.... good stuff.

So basically what your saying is the automated install when you run a .tsk from any location no longer happens and you have to manually put it in a system folder for it to show up in the theme's list?
EDIT:
Yup apparently that is the issue! Theme's don't copy themselves when you run them from a memory card or wherever anymore.

If you don't fancy your themes clogging up your /WINDOWS/ folder (and who does?), they work just as well when dropped in the root of your /STORAGE CARD/. Note, if you put them in a folder in the storage card they won't get picked up under the Today setting, you must just drop them in the root.
With my themes in my Storage card's root, and my ringtones in my Storage Card's My Documents folder, the only file I have to copy to Windows now after a reset is the one I use for my alarm!
Personally, my favourite theme wesbite is here: http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/category.aspx?CategoryID=9&ttype=11 but make sure you've got "WM5 QVGA" selected in the drop down at the top or you'll end up with ones that don't work on landscape.

so wait were u able to make ur phone install the theme u wanted after you moved it manually to the windows folder or the root of ur storage ?

ok, i got the themes to show up under Setting->Today, but the theme doesnt look like how its suppose to....the theme that i posted on the original post shows a very big time on the today screen, when i set it on mine, the time doesnt even show up....only things like the background change....any ideas?

Fastindy, I think you may have got themes on PPCs mixed up with those on Smartphones. When you change a theme on a Smartphone, it affects the picture on the Today screen, as well as what info is shown on it and where. This means a Smartphone theme will have clocks, SMS counters, etc built into it.
A PPC theme, on the other hand, affects only the background picture, top and bottom bar colour scheme, and the Start drop down background picture. What info is actually displayed on the screen is determined by Today plug-ins - these are the things that show the clocks, SMS counters, calendar appointments, and so on.
On the Schaps ROM you linked to in the first post, the clock showing on the today screens is the HTC Home plug-in. It's available here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327646 but I don't know if this is the newest/best version as personally I don't use (takes up too much of my screen for my liking).
Hope that helps.

if you go into folder options and tell it to show hidden files folders and drives, and untick hide protected operating system files then you will be able to see the windows folder from your computer.

UCCW Import Help

So i wanted to finally try uccw after hearing so much about it. I dont know how to use the app to make my own themes it looks so complicated. But I found a couple that I like on the web. I downloaded the file and need help importing it. I unzipped the downloaded file and inside it has 4 files: one is a true type font file, second is a uccw file, and the last two are png images. My question is where do these go?
So far after reading around the web I know to put .uzip files in the uccw folder on my sd card.
I put the uccw file into the uccw folder but dont know where to put the font , and png files. i tried placing them all in that folder but when i go to import from the app it doesnt show anything..
Could someone please explain where to put these files and correctly import them? This is all new territory to me,

Bump. Anyone?

I found out that uccw file goes in the uccw folder. The font goes in a fonts folder on the sd card. But where do the png image files go? I have a image_fonts folder inside the uccw folder so I put them there for now. When I open the app I still can't get it to import the skin. However when I use the widget the skin is there. But it's not displayed properly. It's not using the png files I don't think. And there is also an ugly logo.
Here is a pic of what I mean

This what my uccw folder looks like and all of them work properly. You see a folder with the same name as the uzip file under each uzip, the .PNG or picture is in that folder. The weather icons are in a folder named weather. This app definitely has a bit of a learning curve but is pretty cool once you get the hang of it. Hope this helps and good luck!

okay ill try making a folder of the skin and putting the png files in there. But the files I have are uccw files not uzip files. I think its from an older version.

I hope I understand your question correctly. You should be able to import the uzip files directly into UCCW. In the app, press menu, select 'import skins,' navigate to where you have the skins (uzip files) stored, then select that file. UCCW should load everything up, placing all the files within the uzip file in the appropriate directories, and, voilà, you can now use the skin of your choice. Hope this helps. Good luck.

True, basically don't unzip or do anything with the .uzip file. And if I remember right, you can import the file from wherever you downloaded it to. It really is a cool app once you get used to it. With hotspots and all it has become my all in one widget basically. Good luck with the import, just remember, the app does the work. I'm still trying to build my own, that is taking some time to learn. I'm not sure if you know of this, but here's a spot where there are lots of premade files. They are throughout but there are some great ones in there.

Enjoy.

Thanks for all the help guys appreciate it.

ok i don't know where you guys see the import option but in the latest version is missing

Just restored my phone, but UCCW will not let me import any of my saved files. There isn't even an 'Import' selection when I use the 'New' button...what's up? The file I want to import is already on my phone, as a .uccw...

Most frustrating...had a few brief moments where I could create my own by getting my images from Photos, but that stopped working, too...

Create APK Error

Hey guys. I'm new to this whole process. I decided to try my hand at putting one of my Zooper widget designs up on the Market, and I'm trying to work my way through the process. When I try to create the APK file using Zooper on my phone, I get the following error:
Failed: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /fonts/BebasNeue.otf: open failed: ENOENT (No such file or directory)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not sure what to do. In a random attempt to solve the problem, I downloaded the BebasNeue.otf file from an online font site, and tried placing it in both the sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts folder, AND the normal sdcard/font folder, but this did not help. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
I even tried creating an sdcard/fonts directory (with the 's') since that's what the error message is giving, but to no avail. I'm assuming I need to have a folder somewhere, but I guess I just don't know WHERE Zooper is looking for it.

I created a fonts folder on system root, and still get the error about fonts missing. i have tried to copy the font to the new font folder on the system root and get an error thats theres not enough space. not sure what to do next?
Thanks for any help.

Trying to create such a folder but ES file explorer says there's no space left (actually there's 4GB left). When creating in recovery it's not there after boot.
Got root access for ES.

I had the same issue a few weeks ago.. My problem was that I had the same fonts both on fonts system directory both on Zooper fonts dir. When I picked the font for an element it seems that I chose the system font and not the Zooper one (in fact the same font was reported two times in Zooper dialog).. When I picked the other font the export zip was finally successfully..
Another suggestion I can give is to check if font file has white spaces in its name, and eventually remove it.. Hope it helps!
EDIT: @Hornet991 try to rename your file to something like akami.ttf with lowerspace chars..

Tried again and finally found a solution for me. In font dialog, zooper says "save on sdcard in fonts/" so i simply created such a folder on sdcard/ (internal) and copied akashi.ttf in it. then renamed it "akami.ttf" to see which font is the new placed, cause I had the original akashi.ttf still shown in zooper-dialogue. chose the new "akami.ttf" and it saved properly.
Thanks for your support.

[FIXED] Font Error While Saving APKzip
This is the only solution that Works:
The "problem lies with the in-built fonts of zooper". Notice that the Error comes up due to any font you use except for the 'Normal' font and a few others:
These are the fonts that caused error for me:
1. Roboto all the variant)
2.Robot Condensed (all the variants)
3..Akashi
3.Squared
4.Future and
5.Disco
The Solution is to never use the in-built fonts always use your own downloaded fonts and put them in the folder /sdcard/ZooperWidget/Fonts. And remember to check the option "Store external resources...." while saving your work.

[Q] Zooper Widgets not saving APK / Font error

I am developing a zooper widgets pack, and trying to save the widgets as zips.
I kept getting this error:
Java.io.FileNotFoundException /fonts/BebasNueue.otf
I tried creating a folder called /fonts/ and moved the BebasNueue.otf into it. Still an error.
Does anyone have experience knows how to fix this?

maybe its the *.otf
whats happen when you transfer a *.ttf font!

I keep getting the same error for Akashi font. It says there is no Akashi.TTF in fonts folder but I actually put it in there by myself, so there definitely IS the required file. It's in TTF format. Restart didn't change anything. Any ideas?
Edit: I also tried to create a "fonts" folder in root directory, but ES File Explorer says there's not enough space (I have approx. 4GB free space left). Tried to copy in recovery but after boot the folder is gone.

[Q] Ringtones

I haven't seen this topic discussed here on the M8 Q&A so I applogize if this has been answered.
I just got my M8 yesterday and didn't want to transfer everything over using HTC's transfer tool (going from and HTC Vivid) as I used my Vivid for 2 years and it was kind of cluttered.
Anyway, I copied all my stuff off my old phone and save it on my PC. I moved all the stuff I wanted using Windows Explorer to my M8. A ringtones folder showed up in Windows Explorer under my M8's internal storage so I copied my ringtones I wanted to that folder. They don't show up under setting/personalize. I used root browser to copy the files to system/media/audio/ringtones but the operation failed (I think it's because I'm not rooted). This is the folder that I see the HTC default ringtones in. If I press the + in personalize/ringtones to add new ringtones it takes me to the music folders. I moved the ringtones from the first location into a folder in my music folder named ringtones. They still didn't show up until I removed the .nomedia file. I was able to add them to the list and I assigned them to the contacts I wanted. I don't want to see the ringtones when playing music so I placed the .nomedia file back in the folder. After doing that the ringtones don't show up anymore. What am I doing wrong or can anyone help with this. Really don't want to root at this point.
Thanks

No one knows?
Guess I'll have to root.

I am rooted and still confused. I always thought you could put ringtones, notifications, and alarms under media-->audio on your SD Card (or user storage in this case)—OR create a separate folder for each: ringtones, alarms, notifications on the root of user storage.
But none of these show up in my lists in personalize or under settings-->sound. I don't want to add all of these custom ringtones I've made to the system partition under system/media/audio/ringtones which is where the ringtones that do show up under "sound" or "personalize" actually reside.
What's up with this... Further, a few months ago before some updates, this was working just fine.

have you rebooted? itll show up once you reboot

No.... That's not it. I have been using HTC phones for 5 years. I know how the ringtones/sounds work. This is something else.
If I and maybe the individual who initially created this post above are the only two, then it's just something wonky with the set up.
Could someone just verify it for me?
Take an .mp3 or an .ogg file from your Windows or Linux desktop (I am just going through the steps that once worked perfectly, but now don't work at all), and throw it into Dropbox. Then download it from Dropbox, and stick it into your /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones folder.... Then reboot.
If you see that file when you are in Settings or elsewhere when you are selecting a ringtone, then it's totally my problem. I have not deleted anything from stock, but I have disabled a lot (but things I wouldn't expect to affect ringtones)...so that could be it.
Also, I had disabled CarrierIQ using a bash script that worked quite nicely...But now am wondering if that could have caused it.
All I know is that in the first few weeks of October, I could put any .mp3, .flac, or .ogg file in the above mentioned folder, and after a restart they were all there.
I am also concerned that maybe the 4.4.4 update might have changed something.
Anyway...whoever can help, I very much appreciate it!

SOLVED:
I read this a couple of other places, but I guess this happens some times with certain folders on your SD Card or personal storage.
Sometimes just deleting and recreating the folder will go the trick. This didn't work for me.
So the next solution is to connect to your laptop, confirm everything is working correctly (HTC Sync needs to be installed which is a nuisance). But then I simply copied my media folder from the phone to my Windows desktop.... And then deleted it in the phone. Then I created an empty folder called "media" on the phone... Then copied the contents of the media folder in my Windows desktop, to the media folder I just created, and then, unplugged.
After reboot, all my ringtones, alarms, and notifications were in the list to choose from.
