Black Skin Pack (Dialpad / Comm Manager / Theme / Slide2Unlock)

I would like to present my Black Skin Pack. I did not make the programs, but I modyfied most of them to give the appereance i want.
The Last of that Projects was the creation of my Comm Manager Skin. I hope you'll like it. I took Shaps Kaiser Comm manager to start the Creation. And it will identify like that in the Installed Programm List.
But have a look by yourself:
Today Theme:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Comm Manager:
Dial Pad:
Slide2Unlock:
Instructions:
For the Slide2Unlock Skin just Copy the files into the GFX Folder and overwrite the original ones. If you dont have that Program you can download it here
If your Rom Cooker has skinned the Pin-Number input, and you want that black just delete the reg-key "HKLM/Security/ResOver/Bitmaps/BaseDll".
I used the PHM Registry Editor
Unfortunatly the Dialpad Skin will switch your Today Skin, too. So you have to switch the Today Skin again after you have installed the Dialpad
File List:
Today Theme:Rapidshare Megaupload
Dial Pad:Rapidshare Megaupload
Slide2Unlck: Rapidshare Megaupload
Comm Manager:Rapidshare Magaupload
So i hope you'll have fun with that Downloads
Important:
The Buttons for the phone being muted were missing in my first release of the Comm Manager, so you should download the fixed file I just uploaded. I first did not realize that because I only tested the functions of Comm Manager itself.
You can help me to improve my Comm Manager if you could get me the answers to the following Questions:
There are some Buttons missing to get all Functions intigrated. So where is the definition of which png belongs to which funktion and how could that be changed.
Maybe the key to that problem can be found in the SCHAPS~1.000 file but i wasnt able to open it correctly. So does sombody know what Filetype the File is and how it can be opend and edited (Notepad gives me nonsense)
Some insight in the Reg Key HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\DisableButtonText would be nice. For it is responsible for displaying the Comm Manager in different ways. But with the PNG's the only usable option is the Value 2. Otherwise you got the original Comm Manager displayed. But the Options are quite interresting (0 = Original Setup with Button Text on the Top / 2 = Buttontext on every Button / 3 = No Button Text.). But there has to be a place to where this Key is referring.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing!

Hi
Like your Comm Manager Skin a lot. But I can't download from Rapidshare. In fact, I have problem downloading from Rapidshare 9 out of 10 times. Can you post it in another place for download?
Also, will it override the default Comm Manager Skin such that I need to hard reset to get it back? Cos' I wanna have the option of freeing up my device memory should I need the space for another application. Please confirm.
Thanks! Great job!

Will it work well in english?
I noticed that these weren't in english, maybe a noob question but it does it matter?

Looking good!

Coradiel,
Thank you for this wonder black pack!!!! So great!!!
Thank you for your hard work modifying and uploading! Thank you!

Very nice, can you make a similar skin for Psshutxp
Edit: The fonts in the commanager are too bold, can you change the font please

Thnx for liking it. I'll try to provide an other Mirror.
To your second question. The Comm Manager can be uninstalled through the "Installed Program List" in Windows Settings. But if u use the default Comm Manager u can go back too by editing HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\DisableButtonText (Value from 2 to 0)
EDIT:
Megaupload Links added

First of all no Question is a noob question. We all had to learn once.
There is no Language File in all of the Skins. MS made the wonderful thing to store them in other lokations and not meld them with the Skin Files since WM5 (i think it is since WM5). So u can use this Package with every Language

plz post in some other site
hi
plz post the files in some other website..i cannot download from rapidshare.
thanks

For i dont now Psshutxp i cant promise you anything. But i'll have a look at that.
For the Fonts: I can't really say anything about the Fonts in your english rom, because i'm not able to get them displayed with my device. But i can tell you that i'm not satisfied with the Button Texts, too. I wanted them not to be displayed, but i cant find the keys resposible for that. There is a reg key in the setup.xml, that seems able to do that, but if i change it the skin is gone, too. If anybody knows how that task is done pleas tell me.
General Information:
There are the PNG files of the Backgrounds and Buttons, the Commmanager.exe and a file I was not able to identify in my cab File (SCHAPS~1.000). Maybe the Key to that Task is in that last file, but i'm not shure which Program I should use to open it properly, because this file isn't mentioned in the setup.xml. Notepad gives me a lot of glyphes beside some readable information. And I'm really not sure what it does (im much better in editing graphics than programmng, actually).
I also would like to know where i can find the assignement Buttons=Tasks so that i'm able to integrate new tasks with new Buttons into the Comm manager
(i would like to integrate voip, for example).
I would be grateful for help

I have problems unzipping the files. (tried the dialpad and the comm-manager).
I tried windows-xp's built in routine and izarc.
Both give error-messages. What is my error?

I checked the downloads and was able to unzip them with Windows and WinRAR without problems. I think your download has been corrupted. I think you should try again to download the files.
Beside that I must honestly say that i did not know where your problem is.

Bautiful skins!!! Thnak you!

I can't get the Comm Manager installed
My device says that I don't have the correct systemrights/accessrights.
What am I doing wrong?

Maybe you have an other Comm Manager installed. You first have to uninstall it.
When does the Installation Process stop? During the installation or at the beginning?
EDIT: I downloaded my file and installed it. It is working on my device.

Beautiful skins, thanks!
Just a question, maybe it is not the fault of your skin but I even ask my question here.
How to hide in the Phone Dial Pad the little part displaying contacts?
Indeed I've the keypad from bottom to middle, then a little part of my contacts displaying and then the background skin and my Orange logo.
I never noticed contacts before, is there a way to make them disappear?
Thanks.

I think your question refers to the smartdial funktion. Whenever you start dialing, the matches found on your phone will be displayed. I believe that this is a funktion of WM5 and WM6 (programmed by HTC), it appeared in every dialpad skin i tried on my phone (if the skin was programmed for WM5 or WM6 and that funktion is supported by them).
And sorry if i have to say that. My programming skills are very limited so i do not really know.
But there are several reg-keys in the setup.xml referring to the smartdial funktion. The best thing you can do to check that is by using a regestry editor (i provided a link to one in my first post) and edit that keys one after an other and look what will happen (dont forget to reboot after each change). I know, that this is a long process and it cant be seen if u have success by doing that. But that is the way i'm going through all the times I change programms.
You'll find the keys referring to Smartdial in "HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing"
I hope that is what u want and u'll have success with that. I think you'll not damage anything by doing that, if u do one change after an other and remeber the original settings. But I for shure can't give you a guaranty.
So good luck

No it's not that
In fact, when I open the phone, I have this display all the time.
Indeed, when I start to compose a number, the smartdial tries to match contact links, but what I'm talking about is present all the time, not only when I compose a number.
I'm going to have a look in the reg and see if I could find something
Thanks.

i'm sad
these look really pretty, but they won't work on my phone :'-(
i tried installing them, but they just made everything white...no background....just plain pure white...i have a treo 700wx, so if you can fix it plz let me know.

[4-21-2008] pShades Triple Theme Sets (Today, PocketCM, Dialpad)

After about a week of work I have a set of three themes that provide a consistent look on my WM6 device. The one shown below is pShades-Rainbow. I initially had just a HTC-Touch Dialpad theme, but decided to take the time and create a PocketCM theme to match. Eventually I will have a full set for each dialpad theme in the above link. I am also willing to entertain custom themes as time permits. pShades fully supports portrait and landscape modes for QVGA screens. Let me know what you think!

Screenshots
- pShades-Savior
- pShades-Grass
- pShades-WaterRock
- pShades-Calvary
- pShades-Dew
- pShades-pcDude
- pShades-Transformers
- pShades-Rainbow
Examples:
Includes:
The Theme zip file includes the following files:
Today Theme .tsk file
Dialpad Theme .zip file
PocketCM Theme .zip file
Portrait and Landscape .jpg files for S2U2 backgrounds
Sample .jpg file (seen above)
Requirements:
These files are dependent on the following applications. Listed are the version I am running.
Today - WM 5 or 6 (WM6)
Dialpad - HTC Touch Dialer
PocketCM - 0.20 or newer (0.20)
S2U2 - Any (0.99p)
To Install:
Today Theme:
Copy the .tsk file to the root of your device (or "My Documents" dir) and select via Start->Settings->Today
Dialpad Theme:
Unzip all images (png files) to your /windows directory. They will overwrite the existing HTC Touch Dialpad images. Next, reboot your phone, or disable the radio (airplane mode) and end the cprog.exe program. Re-enable the phone and you should be good.
PocketCM Theme
Copy the .zip file to the /Program Files/PocketCM/ dir (installation dependent). Go into PocketCM and select the theme from the "Options" screen.
S2U2 Backgrounds
Copy the images to the /Program Files/S2U2/gfx/ directory as file names wallpaper.jpg and wallpaperL.jpg for both portrait and landscape. To be honest, I use S2V to set my wallpapers for S2U2.
To Request:
If you like this style and would enjoy having a custom theme set just ask. I will need an image or both the portrait and landscape modes. Or an image large enough to be used for both. Depending on the response I will try to get them done within a a week. Family takes up much of my time.
Thanks:
To Michaelr219 for his wonderful Battery Status theme. It can be found with his iStyle theme.
To DvTonder who's green WM6 theme for PocketCM inspired me to create my own.

NICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE one .... keep up the good work , bro

Hi,

Everytime i want to COPY the "Dialpad Theme:" PNG Files to the WindowsFolder ->
an ERROR occurs: "File is in USE" or "ACCESS DENIED" or somthing don't know the correct english translation, the point is,
I CANT COPY THEM into "Windows" folder....
And i want it soooooo much^^ can u help me / tell me how i can copy the PNGs to the windowsfolder.
until now i have done everythin as said!^^
have a HTC Orbit2 -.- and gettin crazy^^
"Sry 4 my bad english -.-"

Very nice work. Thank you for sharing.

Humm. Must be because I am using Total Commander. Try disabling you phone (radio) and closing the cprog.exe program. You may need a tool to view processes and end them. In WM list of running programs.
Anyone else experience this or have a solution.?

First THANKS 4 fast reply,
Will test it with TC, I'm such a newbie^^, just started modding my phone, kay TC
I've already disabled my phone but didn't find the cprog.exe process, Okay,I will search a TaskTool to find it out
when disableing my phone, i cannot copy the PNG-files via PC(USB), cuz i don't have access to my phone-.-
I'm desperate...!

I am sure with the help of the nice folks around here we can figure it out. I wouldn't think disabling the phone (airplane mode) would diable activesync? To be honest, I am a Linux guy so I have never tried copying files via activesync (assuming this is what you are doing).
It might be worth trying something like WM5torage to mount your SD card (if you have one) and then copy them over to /windows from within the phone. That is how I do it anyway. Let me know if you get it working!

Okay, I will never ever copy files via activesync again
THX 4 the TC advice, works well after i have killed all processes xD
BUT^^ after rebooting the dialpad, there is still the same old boring style like before do i have to start the Dialpad extra?^^
Sry 4 my Newbie Questions and sorry for annyoing you
Btw. i installed a Taskmanager called "duttythroy" taskmanager found here, but i can't find it on my phone.^^
I thought i killed the processes with Start->Preferences->(the normal WM6 one) taskmanager?! is Duttythroy only an add-on/extension OR does it run on its own?! im confused.
I only search a tool that shows all processes and let me kill them...

Humm, assuming you have the HTC-Touch Dialer installed from the link above and the images actually copied over to the /windows folder you should have the new dialpad after a reboot or soft resets. The only reason the "end" the cprog.exe process is to load the new images without having to reboot.
As for the taskmanager? I am not familiar with that one, nor did I find much about it. I use TaskManager and love it! Hope this helps.

Nice looking themes.
Glad to see my work helping others make great pocketcm themes
Keep up the good work!

today item order..
PhilD41... first off, these look a pure work of art dude..
OTOH.. how did you get HTC Home plugin to "move" from the top spot on the today screen and have something else show above it??
Whenever I try to do this in setting>personal>today> move item up or down on today, it doesn't let anything go above it! I'm just trying to get Windows Live Search box to go on top so whenever I tap in it, it doesn't get totally covered by my PocketCM Keyboard and making me force to turn landscape mode or or flip the keyboard out in my Tilt...
Sorry for being off topic.. but I just couldn't resist.

Sleuth's WM6.1 3.0
Included radio frm Sleuth's above rom.

Two ways to do it:-
1. You have to edit the Registry
Look in:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home
Change 'Type' from 5 to 4
Stop and start the HTC Home from settings. You can now go into the usual Today options and put the plugins in any order you want.
2. Or use HTC Home Customizer by choosing unlock in options menu u can move HTC Home anywhere u want.

2 questions....
1) What Today Plugin do you have on top? The one with the Speed Dials? Is it simply PhoneWeaver?
2) What's your process when it comes to getting your PhotoContact pictures to look glassy like that? I've been wondering lately how I can set something like that up but I don't know the dimensions of the contact picture and I'm not sure I want to photoshop all my contact pictures.
Best Regards,
Nik

Thanks, I am glad you like them! They took some time, but I really enjoy having the same feel across my phone! I see that tjkhattak61 answered the HTC Home question. Although, it isn't HTC Home. It is Battery Status with the mentioned theme. I think there are a few HTC Home themes for BS.

That would be SPB Phone. I use to use more of the functions, but now just use it as a quick launch and profile change. I think there are several apps out there that do this.

Unfortunately, I am still photoshoping (Gimping) my contact images. I don't know of any program that will display a png with alpha so I am doing it the hard way. I did write a script-fu scrip for the GIMP that automates it. It makes it a little easier.
Thanks for the feed back!!

pShades-Calvary Added
Okay, next addition is up. pShades-Calvary is the first red theme. I am tempted to complete the red reptile theme, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Hope you like it. Anyone have a favorite background they would like to see pShaded?

pshades-pcDude Added
One more for the collection. I still have one or two more I am hoping to get done sometime this week. Still not sure which one I am going to use on my phone. Until then, enjoy my pcDude!

New "Notification Manager" from HTC : do you like it ?

Hi,
I tried the lastest ROMs for our Blackstone, and it seems that every chefs loves the new Notification Manager...
I found a way to deactivate it (I just hate this new layer), but it's a bit ugly : in the registry, go to HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER and change the "Dll" value to "NotificationManager.dll.bak", then soft-reset.
Do you know another way to deactivate this thing ?
And what do you think about this new notif. manager ?
For those who don't know what is Notification Manager, here it is :

I don't mind it. What annoys me is the amount of clicks you have to make
For example if I get a notification for an appointment I get a Alarm noticiation on the top bar. Once I click on this I get the new noticication Manager which tells me about the appointment. To dismiss this I need to click dismiss, where I am then shown another screen asking whether or not you are sure you want to dismiss this.
Tio many clicks!!
It should be straight forward:
A notification screen telling you about meeting/appointment etc with options below to either dismiss or delete.
Nothing else needed and no screen asking whether or not you are sure!

I like it but I've got to disable it because, for me, it's very important that I can select each time the "snooze-time" (and not have it by default at 5.00 min).
You can disable it:
HKLM\System\Shell\Notification\OEM\UseDefaultUI and set it on "0"

Hum, I think you're mistaking what I meant by "Notification Manager".
The notification manager is the screen that appears when you tap on the icons on the right of the start button (battery, Signal bars etc).
Edit : I uploaded a pic of the new notification manager and the old one.

one of the many reasons i flashed back to old manilla is this ugly screen.. i like to be able to chose comm manager right away after i press one of the topbar buttons but with this new screen it's a hassle.. though old manilla had it's own notification screen but i can disable it from touchflow settings unlike this new one

Shake and save is a soft to take screenshots when you shake your phone
btw, now, you can flash a new rom using manilla 2 and disable this notif. manager.

this is one issue down among many others to overcome i try new roms on weekly bases but still i find em too buggy to my taste

You have to install FdcSoft's Task Manager (you will find it in the forum) then go to Services and stop "Notification Manager" service and set it to manual. When you exit the task manager, the phone will be slow in response, so just soft reset it.
The best thing about the new notification manager in my opinion is that it can be stopped . Actualy this is the first thing I do when I flash a new ROM with the new manilla. Why would anyone want to loose the functionality of the taskbar icons by installing the notification manager, we may never know...

Yeah!!!You're right... I made a mistake... but my answer is the same!!!
Yes i like it, but, I don't like that tapping on the top bar there is no possibility to, ad example, go to the network tab... like you can do without the NM.

Well if you guys want the best of two worlds, new notification system with various snooze times, just install Dutty's HD 1.9 rom. Ironically this was the only reason to release 1.9b

lol! same here...staying with ver 1.9 because of the "omission" of dutty..

At least, you'll can now flash the rom you want and disable the notification manager

Its not so much the notification manager I mind but the omission of the basic snooze options. How in the hell can I get them back?

+1, yeah, thanks a lot ipaso, I so hate the new notification, I thought there will be a old notification cab for us to overwrite the new one.
But at least your interim solution really work for me/us.
Cheers.

I hate it, it's annoying.

Adderz Theme Sets: M2Ds, Comm Managers, Video Dialers, Splashs *SIP BETA RELEASED*

Hey Guys
Well ive been lurking around these boards for over a year now. I thought i should gather up all the things ive either skinned myself or found.
Ive never been *truly* happy with my device, or Windows Mobile, and so over time ive put together some M2D themes and Comm Managers and now im trying my hand at making a Dialer and its turning out pretty good (i think).
My aim is/was to unify my device and make the interface look better.

}
Make sure to use the very latest M2DC otherwise i think the clocks might be a bit off.

Video Dialers
Well i found this video dialer and decided to skin it. They are up to BETA 4 which means the primary and secondary screens are both skinned but there are still little bits a bobs that need to be done, but its 95% complete. If you have another dialer installed, uninstall that one first then install this one.

KEYBOARD SKINS
Beta 1
This is only a skin for the Keyboard, not the full qwerty or any of the others. The others deal with the letters differently, so its going to be harder to skin, same with the symbol page. So they have NOT been skinned. This skin is for WWE only.
Ok this one requires a bit more effort to install. First you need to make SURE you have this keyboard below ALREADY installed:
If you do, you can now download the files, unzip them, and copy them all to the Windows folder, overwriting the original files. You will need to use Resco File Explorer, Total Commander or a Windows PC to copy them. File Explorer does not work.
Then you soft reset your phone and you should have the new skin installed.

Splash Screens
Here is one i found, i didnt do anything to it, im just uploading it again because its so great and fits in with our Touch Cruises so well. When i get a chance i want to work out how to turn the white bits red and lime and blue etc to match the M2D themes above. I tried "replace Colour" with photoshop but it just gave me a horrible pixelated mess.
Polaris Flower Startup Screen
Now the following to screens replace the second or third screens you see when you boot your device. I cant remember which one exactly. These match the "Red" and "Lime" themes up above. These also wernt done by me but im uploading them again because i think they fit in perfectly.
Simply rename them welcomehead.96 then disable touchflo, copy them to the Windows folder, then re-enable Touch flo! You may need to use TotalCommander to copy it over if File Explorer wont let you.

S2U2 GFX
Well here is another Beta, this time for S2u2 graphics. I might redo the clock because that look is a bit dated. Or maybe i might redo the clock in the M2D theme to match this one..hmm..decisions...
Anyway here are the files, just copy the gfx folder into your S2U2 folder, overwriting the old gfx folder. It has been tried and tested on S2U2 Version 2.01
Dont know if ive skinned all the files but most of them are done.
S2U2 2.01 gfx

great effort mate - thanks for sharing

GREAT!
Thank you!

*wipes brow* just finished redoing all the buttons for the Lime Dialer. Its quite striking to say the least. Its still a beta though, with the secondary screen still having the normal buttons but 80% of it is done.

Thank you for your Comm Manager, anybody there can guide me to get 3G to GSM button instead of data connection button. My problem is, i am using 3D setting SIM card when i set to 2G postpaid, 3G celcom still appear at today screen. TQ

Well ive added a Red Comm Manager. Its a beta because when you select something the highlighter doesnt go away. Everything works but if you select more than one thing it just looks a little odd...i might have to switch to a different comm manager to fix the issue..hmmm
To change the options in the Comm Manager use "Advanced Config". Open it > Menu > More Settings > Comm Manager >
EDIT: Well ive been fiddling with the registry settings today and i have found where to change the text on the secondary screen in the dialers, but ive tried two colours and they both turned out blue (wtf?). Ill have to read up on my hexadecimals
EDIT: I did it! I managed to get the text to black. Its a slightly brighter red than the dialer because i dont know how broad the colour range is. Ill upload soon.
EDIT: Well im now uploading Beta 4 of the Dialer. Ive skinned the buttons on the secondary screen when you press down on them. They are now white instead of black to match the other buttons. Ive also moved the red bar down a few pixels so the Mobile Carrier fits on the grey space and doesnt hang over.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning a SIP now. In the same Red and Lime (and black). I dont know how its going to turn out. It might be too difficult to see in all but the perfect conditions. But we will see how it goes....Ill post up some screenshots of the Alphas if i have any luck doing it.
EDIT: Ive updated the Lime Dialer to the new secondary screen. So now they are both 95% skinned. It seems you cant finely tune the colours for the text. Perhaps they only have a 256 colour palette? Im going to leave them how they are for now, while i try fixing the Comm Manager issue. The SIP might take a bit longer than expected. I have crappy wireless internet at the moment and downloading anything is a major pain.
EDIT: *Sigh* why must everythg be so difficult. I tried skinning the default HTC keyboard and all was going well until i loaded it on my Polaris. It doesnt change any graphics, even though i loaded a cab on with the new ones. It leads me to suspect that the CAB is not overwriting the existing files, but simply creating a copy...thus not getting used. I need to work out how to delete the original keyboard files so the only ones in use are the ones i install with the cab. ARGH!

Well after 2 hours of tinkering ive finally worked out how to make skins for the HTC Keyboard.
Im going to do the keypad layout first as its the easiest to do lol

Ok im uploading the 12 button keyboard skin.
Please take note of the following:
This is for the 12 button keyboard ONLY, all other symbol screens and other keyboards have not been skinned yet.
To install it you will need to use Resco Explorer or Total Commander.
Please make sure you already have the keyboard installed, these are the skin files only, not the keyboard itself.
This skin is for English countries only
To uninstall you will need to copy the original files back over, if anyone needs them i will upload them, just send me a message.
EDIT: Im going to try skinning S2U2 now...what else do people want skinned???

PLEASE HELP ME OUT! Wallpaper settings!

Whats up guys I am Fairly new to this but getting the hang of it I installed CHT and everything is good but for some reason I Can NOT Change my Main Screen Wallpaper it just stays Black no matter what I do, when I go to Set Wallpaper . Home Tab appears and then the following options... Portrait:480x800 Not Set, Wide Portrait 960x800 Not Set, Landscape 800x480 followed by options for CHT Lockscreen, All Tabs Etc
No matter what picture I set, I go back and the main screen still looks the same, My Lock screen is actually what I wanted but ever since I installed CHT I can't change my wallpaper and don't wanna uninstall because of all the options of have with the tabs and all.
If some one could please help me address this problem, I would really appreciate it, Thank You!

Try this.
From your home screen...
Select "menu"
Select "Co0kie's Home Tab Editor"
Select "Miscellaneous Settings"
Scroll down to "Wallpaper Mode" and make sure "HQ Wallpaper" is selected.
This should get you going again.

I had the same problem, tried these and it worked out for me....
Menu/CHT editor/lockscreen settings/
disable lock on standby and animation on lock

Hey there, listen I looked at what you said everything in my CHT is on OFF, in the lockscreen settings all have is HD Mini selected, and the Lock Slider Shortcuts is on Auto... Thats about it. Still the wallpaper for main screen won't change, Thank you for your response though!
If any 1 else has any input let me know Thanks again.

I don't know why whoever made the HDWall app doesn't just put this in with the CAB file. It's easy to add a registry tweak. Anyway, thy this:
- Disable the default wallpaper for the Home Tab in Manila v2.1 & HTC Sense by removing the data found at HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath (don't delete the key, just the valuedata)

Hey I just did that, Now I turned off my phone and tried to turn it back it, now my phone won't go PAST THE WINDOWS Screen it won't even turn on now

are you sure you didn't edit anything else? that registry key doesn't do anything but make it so that there is no windows background on the home tab

Wow it turned back on right as I was about to do a HARD Reset Grrrrr, bro it is Set to ZERO and it still WON't CHANGE ANYTHING I just dont get it...

Nope I swear I didn't, this S H I T is just weird man, still can't change the backround I give up I'll just keep it black, I rather have my phone working then a nice blackround lol
You think If I have my contacts saved to my sim, and I do a Hard Reset I should be good? I am about to do that maybe that is the only way my wallpaper will change again with out any problems.
And by the way when I went to Set wallpaper after the phone turned on and guess what was set under Home Tab ortrait: 480x800 wallpaper_002.png <- Lol its the carbon fiber backround back lol but my home screen is still plain back, this shyt is retarted.

I appreciate your Effort to Help me out though, Thanks.

first: what version of CHT are you using? should be 1.8.5
second: install HDWallS CAB Wallpaper Browser on the phone to better switch between HDWall backgrounds (file attached below)
third: throw the 2 files in cookie.rar on your phone in a folder on your storage card called HDWall. one is the actual CAB & the other is a pic so that HDWallS on your phone will know what the CABs image is.
fourth: using the HDWallS app on your phone, set the default folder as the previous folder made with those files. Select that file & install. It should all work perfectly after that assuming you changed the registry file
A good registry editor that I use is CeRegEditor. You connect your phone to your PC through ActiveSync & then do the registry editing from your PC.
Let me know if that worked.
finally: make sure you're using HDWall v0.29b on your PC & make sure under config you're using 'HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression' (should say 'HTC Sense v2.5 & Co0kieMonster's Patch - No Compression') Set as default! No make CAB files to your hearts content

Thanks Man but nothing works I am just gonna reboot my whole phone I got it not to long ago soo its not like I got soo much stuff on it soo its all good.

Well give those steps a try after you hard reset. I know that when I first tried it it didn't work. Make sure that you don't install any of the HDWallS cabs before you set the option in CHT.
