This looks really cool. Before I install it I would like to know if it will cleanly un-install if I wanted to, reverting me back to my original setup. I use a standard TP2.

I have done just that in creating this theme. Installed and un-installed multiple times without a problem. Remember to disable TF3D prior to doing so.

hi im trying to uninstall it and wont do so. it keeps saying " it has not uninstalled completely, would you like to remove from the install list" and i hit yes but it still stays there.. only thing that was removed was the wallpaper.. icons on the tabs are still there.. stock tmobile tp2

Hi just installed it and the clock numbers have changed as per the screenies but the background to the clock is transparent and the background to the main screen didn't change. The rest of it looks fantastic.
I uninstalled it and have notices that when you select wallpaper it no longer asks you if you "would like to use the default one" before you browse for another one. Other than that it seems to have uninstalled fine
Edit :- Out of interest, is it possible to have the theme with the original HTC clock ?
@noodles... did you disable touch flo before you uninstalled it ?

What device did you install this on? If you were using a crystal flip clock or Non-Verizon setup, then this will only change the numbers. Verizon does not use a flip clock.

Thanks for the quick reply. Mine is a stock HTC European version. Is it possible to have it without changing the clock. Also the wallpaper on the clock screen did not change but the rest of the tabs had the new background. I guess this can be changed by manually chaning the wallpaper. Have you got the wallpaper as a seperate file ?
Thanks again.

I would have to make a separate CAB without the clock files.. Wallpaper is attached.

Thanks for the wallpaper. Transparent clock or not, you did a fantastic job. If you ever get round to creating a cab without changing the clock I would be most grateful. Thanks again.

yea i have i installed HDWall Hero because the homescreen did not have the hero wallpaper but i uninstalled that, then i installed your theme again and then uninstalled and finally got it removed.. thank you

Slightly off topic, but I usually find that if you try to uninstall something and you get the message that it was not completely uninstalled and then asks if you want to remove it from the list and you click "Yes", it remains in the list. But if you go to install it again, it goes through the usual process of "The old installation of "XYZ" will be removed first...etc". It will actually remove it and not install it again. Strange, but it works!
Nice theme btw! (as always)

O man this is great again, I love your theme work!
Could it be don get the clock working, or looking like, the Verison setup for the WWE version's as well?

Bert

TF3D 2.1 with weather (or not?) on home tab (T-Mobile version) - TEST VERSION

Hi all - I'll be the proud owner of a T-Mobile TP2 in a few days. I didn't notice any cabbed up version of TF3D2.1 1919, so I took a stab at my own cab. Since I don't yet have my new phone, I can't test.
Anyone who wants to test it for me ... here it is.
Registry settings are for WM6.1. For 6.5, do this in your registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"IsWM6.5"=dword:1
Oh, and if there's already a working cab out there, someone provide a link, and I'll ask a mod to close this thread.

I'm gonna test it later tonight, if it work you are my god

nice looking, but does not work on my stock rom ...

Can you be more specific about what didn't work? Did the install itself fail? Does TF3D fail to start? It starts, but you don't see any difference?
Because I can't test (yet), whatever specific feedback you can provide will help.
Thanks,
Lou

install works great, TF3D start and work, nice violet and white theme, custom icons, tabs and more but no weather on home tab

It's possible this build doesn't do what I think it does -- just started catching up on Rhodium stuff, and maybe I misunderstood something or wrongly connected some dots. Notice any other new features?

Rhodium_S_Manila_2_1_19193517_0_CFC_WWE
HI. Saw this version of Manila where they claim the animated weather works on this 2.1 manila version with 6.5 rom.
I have not tried it yet. Here is the link

Do Touch HD Mods work on the Imagio?

I am receiving my Imagio tomorrow morning finaly and plan to mod it right away and I am wondering if the mods/ tweaks for the Touch HD will work? Especially this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544422 and if there is a version with out the theme applied? thanks for anyone help. I will be in the game tomorrow to help anyone else out as well.

I hope so, because that theme looks really good. I'll give it a try.

Tried it on mine . Took 10 minutes to load ( 11 MB ) and after i reset nothing happened , still had the same theme I had before (stock). Took remove programs 10 minutes to delete it. A big waste of time.

Well, the only thing that changes is there's a Dusk theme under the Today settings that changes the lockscreen and adds a nice gradient to the taskbar and softkeys, but TouchFlo is completely unchanged.

alright well thanks for testing. I wasn't sure an didn't have the phone yet at the moment. I have been installing cabs that I have through out the day and will report later on what cabs work for me and what ones do not.

I think thats because TouchFLO has to be cooked into the rom. You can't just install a cab of it.
That link I believe is just a theme of touchFLO 2.5, and in order for it to work it requries that you have the software already cooked into the rom.

That's what I was thinking, but I couldn't check as, well, I can't exactly flash a Manila 2.5 ROM to my Imagio yet, haha.

[Q] moving items en start menu ?

Hi, on Wm6.5 roms for the touch HD you can press and hold on the start menu items an move them arround but in the HD2 you can only send them to top. Thats is a really ugly to reorder lots of icons.
I think there must be a key in the registry to set this behaviour but cant find it.
Someone knows it?

deleted...

I use JWMD Icon Changer V1.9 beta for Windows Mobile 6.5 to change the order of the start menu items... Works well.
Hope this helps...

This is not in the registry. Its in a SYS file named gwes ithink. Only way to fix it is by flashing to cooked ROM or update from HTC.

As far as I know this works only in later revisions of the os build. Maybe your Touch HD has a newer one.

but how old cant it be? HD2 got one of the newest wm6.5 roms... From where the chefs got the newer version for the HD then???

Does JWMD work for anyone else on their HD2?
On my old phone both JWMD Icon Changer and Showaco reSTART worked great in arranging the icons. On the HD2 however, neither seems to work.
JWMD arranges most of the icons on my HD2, but it doesn't rearrange them all (like the settings icon, it appears randomly in the list) and the ones that it does rearrange don't stay where they are supposed to and move after a little while.
What has HTC done to the Start menu to make it different? Because rearranging icons worked great on my old phone with these same exact programs.

I think that behaviour can be cause htc icons are created every time the phone reboots. There is a cab somewhere here (i think is in the tips thread) that disable the recreation of icons so after that you will have no problem. I hope that works

Thanks for the input, but I already solved the issue (by doing a hard reset, heh).
JWMD works great now though, and with some spiffy icons makes my HD2 almost perfect - the disorganized icons were really bugging me.

Found! Cause of slowness in Sense 2.5 animated weather

Hi all, I thought I'd share a mini breakthrough I had with Animated Weather performance on the Sense 2.5 home screen on the TP2. The animation is 100% fast and smooth if you DON'T activate any wallpaper.
I'm using the stock WM 6.5 South East Asia ROM with the stock Manilla version 2.5.20121225.0. I was recently forced to reload my TP2 after a bad application install required a hard reset. I immediately noticed how much faster the weather animation was after the hard reset. It was 100% fast and smooth. So I only made incremental changes until I determined what the cause of the slowness was.
As soon as I enabled ANY of the weather wallpapers, the performance of the animated weather dropped to around 70%. The problem is that there's no way to remove the wallpaper after you've selected one - you can only change it to a different wallaper - so I had to do a hard reset again to restore the animated weather performance to 100%.
Does anyone know if there is a way of removing the wallpaper using a registry edit or a file system edit?
I know that Max Manilla has a 'remove wallpaper' feature in it, but I've found that the weather animation is still only around 70% with Max Manilla installed.

Have you also tried to slide up on the homepage, to display the 9 quicklaunch buttons? That also gives a fast, and smooth weather animation, even with a wallpaper.
The wallpaper itself is not the issue, it's the elements that are on the homepage that cause the problem (clock, calendar).
I think you can remove the wallpaper in the registry. It should be in [HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila].

Yes I think you're right, but I also believe that the wallpaper is like an additional element that the animation struggles with. If I have a wallpaper enabled then I can only have another 1-2 elements displayed before the animation suffers. With no wallpaper I can have 1. the clock (with the weather insert) 2. the calender and 3. the quick links, all displayed, and still have excellent animation performance.
I'll have a look at that registry key after work tonight and see if I can find the setting to disable the wallpaper.

I'd probably say those "elements" like the clock and short cuts and email and missed call notifactions are probably more important to ...... everyone.... then having clouds float across their screen

What I'm saying is, you can have all the elements displayed AND the weather animation nice and smooth, as long as you don't enable a wallpaper. I for one, happen to like the animation

Thanks for the tip. I found out that if you've enabled a wallpaper and now you want to disable it you just delete these 2 entries from the registry:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CachedBackgroundPath
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath
Neither of them exist prior to enabling a wallpaper

So, is it smoother once you delete these keys ?

It will be smoother but you will lose your wallpaper
Another way to improve animation performance is to minimize the number of things appearing on the home screen. I recommend using Cookie's home tab to remove the quicklinks
That way you can keep your wallpaper, have smooth weather animation, and still have access to quicklinks by swiping up
(Actually the clock involves a lot more lua scripts so removing the clock would be more effective...but I don't think anyone would do that )

I have a better idea... removing everything from the main screen. This way it will be very very fast.
Come on let's be serious !!! If you remove the quicklinks and a few other stuff you'd better with Sense 2.1
If removing the wallpaper makes an actual difference it's worth it (I like having a black or dark one anyway...). Btw Valkyrie ROMs are quite smooth even with the wallpaper on (Just wanna see if I can get it even faster)

Alcibiade said:

It's definitely smoother after you delete these keys. Even if you've selected a black wallpaper, deleting these keys will still help because it actually removes the wallpaper altogether, so there's one less thing the animation has to contend with.
I can't say if this is a good idea for those of you who have Cookies Home Tab or Max Manila installed. It works great for me though, on a stock ROM running Sense 2.5. Back up the Manila registry key first if you're not sure, so it can be easily restored. It seems there's no need to disable Touch Flo while making these changes - they can be made on the fly while touch flo is still running.

I tried this (deleting the two registry entries) on the stock Sprint 6.5 ROM - works great! Noticable improvement on the home page. Thank you!

come on dude...it's not like you will lose the quicklinks altogether...all you're compromising is an addition swipe
but anyways I myself prefer no weather animation, it's all up to the user

Man, same here.
It kinda irritated me in the first place having redundant information (to the weather tab) making Home tab elements harder to read, but then when I realized the effect it had on performance, it was GONE-dee.

Resco Explorer 2010 or PHM Registry Editor

MarkoFaca said:
Same question here, is there some registry software or what?! Sorry for dumb question, I'm new with TP2
Click to expand...

Yes- it's called a registry editor, and there are a number of options (Total Commander, PHM Registry Editor, etc).
If you don't know what you're doing, though, be careful- don't start deleting things you don't think need to be there, and so on. You can mess up the system in a fundamental way.

Thanks for helping, downloading Resco Explorer, will let you know what have I done with it

After changing my clock to an analogue one (from the Fallout theme here), the weather animation is a lot smoother. Everything is a lot smoother actually, so changing the clock does wonders for everything really.

Holy crap! You're right! I've been irritated with laggy homescreen for so long and it's that damn clock! Thanks for the tip!

i think is not related with the clock but the weather icon which below the clock...when i use cookie home tab and i use "clock without weather"...my homepage weather animation immediate feel lot smoother and faster...

Any way to just dissable the full screen weather animation? i want the weather... just dont care for the animation that comes up on the whole screen.
