Alltel HTC PPC6800 - Where to start? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I just picked one up and I'm absolutely amazed. My favorite piece yet. But of course, after a few days of learning the ins and outs, it's time for mods. I see different model names/number thrown out all over the place, but are there any guides for the HTC PPC6800 from Alltel specifically? I'm looking for ways to skin it differently and add that 'TouchFLO' interface to it. Does anyone know of any good walkthroughs or guides that could help me with this?
Thanks for any help, and thanks for having me here

Some Help
Here is some helpful information I found to do some customization to the alltel 6800.

The touchflo 1.41 is the one that worked for me with the .9 config tool
Also the HTC home customizer is really fun to play with and customize.
The only issue I had with the home customizer is it did mess up my picture messaging when I installed the HTC audio manager to the point I had to reconfigure the picture messaging or just hard reset if you dont know what information should be in there so I would recommend to not install that at all.

This is the buccaneers iphone. (only good of course if you are a bucs fan but if you check out the readme file you can edit it and make the theme whatever you like.)
And attached is a theme generator from microsoft to create your own themes if your interested in and it is very simple just follow the on-screen instructions any questions...let me know.

Application descriptions

Hello !
I'm quite new here. I'm reading the forum for one week and succeeded to flash my S200. Now I'm interested in other programs. As I see roms come with some installed programs but you can download cab files and install it separately. The only problem is that I cant find descriptions for this programs, so I don’t know what they exactly do. I spent one hour for cube and touchflo to got some idea.... Is there any post or page where this programs are explained?
thanks
Bojan
ello friend
no wonder it hard for anyone to reply your questions
here's some quick reference for you..
this Cube things originally from HTC Touch and also with the Flo which you can scroll down or up smoothly your screen with fingers..
our best cooks edit it so this programs can be use in our Prophet..same also with latest great program from others HTC devices..
usually the latest new release roms here have the newest programs..so dont worry about it,we have the best cooks with us here
but if you need extra programs inside your device, just google around..
for me,if i need other great programs, search into torrents, check out the PPC magazine etc..
cheers..

New HTC P4350 Skins and/or UI

Hi All,
I'm new here, and just Registered. I haven't yet familiarised myself with this forum so if I'm posting in the wrong section or double posting, I do apologise before-hand.
I'm wondering if anyone can possibly please help me- I'm in desperate need of a new skin or two for my HTC P4530 - I'm quite tired of the three Windows Mobile 6.0 Skins and the HTC Default skin!
Does anyone know where I could download or get some new skins? Even a way to customise and make/create my own?
Secondly with there being a vast amount of HTC wizards out there- I'm wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to customise and change the HTC Home Screen to that of the newer HTC Modules like the HTC TyTN II or HTC Touch with that new User Interface, is it possible- I really love the colour scheme and its look!
So if anyone can help me or point me in a step towards the right direction, I'd really apprectiate it! Hope to learn alot from browsing these forums!
Thanks!!

Questions: Audio Manager, Texting with Attachments, GPS???

A few questions hopefully some of you vets can answer:
First, I have the Alltel version of the HTC Touch. When I click on Device Info the model number is: VOGU100.
So am I in the correct forum?
Questions:
1. Just downloaded Audio Manager, how do I make it my default player instead of Windows Media Player. When I use the cube, I want it to default to Audio Manager
2. How do you send attachments in Text. When I click, the "Insert" is grayed out.
3. I see that there is a GPS Icon. Is this thing GPS capable? Do I just contact Alltel for the service?
Thanks!
yes ur in the right place.
1. not quite sure how to do that. i use the manilla 2d, and in the music tab it uses audio manager by default.
2. most of the time u will have to send attachments in email. or u can use the search in the forum. its been talked about in a few places. its a smms cab file.
3. for gps, i upgraded to winmo 6.1, and it is included there. hope that helped enough.
im pretty new myself, and hate when ppl dont reply. jus figuring things out 1 step at a time.
I'll have to check out that manilla 2d. I updated my Rom to the 6.1 version this morning.
So I'm making progress. Thanks again.
vogue
the vogue or xv6900 is the htc touch. you can modify the cube using this tool from ppcgeeks. It works on the verizon touch also.

manila 2d is what i call a theme. i am not sure if that is the correct term for it. there are a bunch of these out there that you can try some for free some trial then pay. sbmobile shell is a nice one. pointui is another, touchcommander is another (one i am currently playing with), manila 2d is another, iphonz is another. do a google search and you will find the cabs for these. the manila 2d i used was difficult to remove so i did a hard reset to remove it. sb, pointui, iphonz were easy to remove. iphonz takes alot of work to set up.
also you can get skins and set up these themes to operate differently. i like robodads sbmobile shell theme that i think came from this site. it is really nice. have fun.
Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong with trying to play youtube vids?
I downloaded TCPMP and a Flash file, but I keep getting this error:
crash.txt
error
I just can't seem to find a fix. Do I have a old version of TCPMP? TCPMP will not open at all, it gives the crash.txt.
Thanks,

[SKN] Complete "IPhone like" Icon and Sys dll Set by fRED (~75 Icons)

Hello again,
I've got a lot requests about the Icons I use on my System because of my "Real VGA WMP Manila Skin" Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3044289&postcount=25
So, I've modded nearly my complete System with custom made icons. I used ResHacked and siggner to apply the icons to the exe's and System Files. You can search the forum if you don't know how to do that.
I searched for a cooker who wants to work with me to bring out a ROM with a complete redone Iconset, but it looks like no ones want to do this with me.
So I decided to release my Icon "Standalone".
Since I don't know if it would be OK (because of Copyrights or things like that) to post here the complete modded Programs with the costom exes you have to integrate the icons by yourself.
If you would like an Icon for a special Program just post it here and I try to do one for you.
Thats enough for now...
Have fun... fRED
Here again some Screens
Some more...
Can you make these icons for the settings too , very nice!
Funny that you're asking. I just do these types of icons for Setting, so yes, I can do *g*
But you have to be patient for some days.
fRED
I think this is really amazing, do you have some installation instructions for the not so clever like myself to install?
Also, do you have or could you make icons for TomTom for MSN Messenger... Please?
This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Sean
I've made your requested icon for MSN/TomTom + Mobiler, because I use mobiler quite often now *g*
Update in first Post
fRED
Wow just beautiful! i really like these icons...
Thanks a lot!
How to install? Just copy to /windows?
No, it's not that easy! Look at my first post. You have to use ResHacker to apply the icons to each .exe.
I don't want to post the exe's directly cause there could be copyright problems. Also there would be problems with different languages and Version Numbers of the files/exes.
The dll's which are integrated in the pack are also German one's. If you want to apply them to an english version just extract the modded icons.
At the moment I don't want to explain how you use ResHacker to exchange icons. It's not that difficult. Just Google or search here in the forum.
Maybe anyone other wants to explain it here, than I add it to the first post.
regards,
fRED
ok thanks man i will try it
is it possible to use on Touch HD?
Of course, you have to replace the icons directly in the exes. So this works everywhere.
fRED
Thank you so much for doing that for me, your a credit to the forum matey. Keep up the good work, ill be keepin an eye on your future projects and this one, dont stop, create!
Sean Saunders
I really love those Icons.
Could you release them in .png format so they would be compatible with D-Mans Idiamond programme launcher?
Hi !
Nice work, but can you make a .cab for lazzy guys like me ?
Would be great !
Thanks
Great work, really great work at all! I'll use these icons in my own ROM now!
really great work!! thanks for the fantastic icons!
but there are just two things:
1) could you make the corners a little bit more round? they look a bit squared actually.
2) could you provide png files instead of ico, please?
Hi BlockbusterF!
First of all, I like your Iphone icons! I tried to cook a rom, and replace the original icons by your iphone style icons. If you interested in a ROM with your icons, we should make a cooperation. I make the rom, and you make the icons that we need for a fully iphone icon style rom.
I will use the new HTC 2.00 base rom for basic. First I need learn to cook a rom (now it's on ). I will get off some HTC application and put my own (maybe make some registry tweak too), and then make the iphone style.
If you interested in the idea, contact me!
PLEase say yes.....

i guess its my dream come true. i have been looking for such a ROM since the time iphone came in existance. it will be like best of both worlds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374571may be here you can get some idea, ( but for diamond i would really vouch for iDiamond project of Dman666, as it involves the manila files direstly.
Blockbuster, great work! I've actually gone through all the work to import them into my files and they look amazing. It's quite a lengthy process, took me nearly 2 hours to get 'em all done. On top of that I was having some difficulties with a few icons (namely the RSS Hub icon and tasks) but I've got it worked out.
I thought I'd make a contribution to the project, I've made an icon for the app Diamond SensorScroll in the style of yours. See attached zip.

Verizon TP2 Flip Clock [THAT WORKS!]

Background: All of the flip clocks posted to date use a modified version of the Manila file "1c684cd8_manila"... this is also used in other mods... such as "Background on all Tabs", "Remove Carrier Logo", etc... and none were modified from the TP2 original... therfore... all lost certain functionality...
Look at the screens posted... none show as many items listed on the Home page as there were with the stock TP2!!!
I have modified the TP2 file to enable the Flip Clock already available in the TP2...
and NO LOSS of functionality!!!
BEWARE... any mods that over-write "1c684cd8_manila" after this install... will render your Home page unusable...
Tested with Verizon on a TP2... may work with other carriers...
Enjoy!
Just copy the files in the zip to the Windows folder of your TP2... cab is in next post... thanks to all!!! cool!
Here is the cab posted from PPC.
And I just tried it and it works perfect.
I have been looking for this since I got the Verizon TP2 so thank you.
i have verizon .. i have a sweet flip clock with out the color square..
but my home screen doesnt work...
is there one for verzion that will work ,, you guys post up with white background.. i want one with clear background.

know this: if i ever get to heaven i'm putting in a good word for you!
Woot! Awesome work! I'd been looking for one that worked properly on the VZW TP2.
Thanks!
P.S. A transparent clock would be nice as well
All my themes will be fully compatable with all carriers without modification of any mode 9 manila files and there is a background on all tabs done the correct non hacked way... and a different one that fits correctly in landscape mode it also does not use cfc compression so no need to have a patched manilla.exe to use my themes they are in one cab file change everything images are compressed even futher then cfc is capable of so the themes run faster then anything else out. This is no small feat as sprint, tmobile, and Verizon all made changes to the TF3D interface to have themes work on all... well... I bet I'm the first ;O) custom animated bootscreens start sounds and full interface.. keyboards and dialer is fully skinned. check them out on youtube PROBEX- TF7X, Naughty By Nature, and Ladies First themes. Pocketnow .com has also done videos on them. These will be available with in the next 2 weeks. ) tested and working so far on Sprint- Verizon- t-mobile- gsm euro version and telus.
The voda phone version of the TP2 will work for the TF7X theme as well as the Ladies First theme but due to the fact I don't mess with the stock manila mode9 or lua files the text remains black so Vodaphone users running stock will not be able to use the Naughty By Nature theme as the text will be unreadable.
Does this have a negative impact on "Missed calls"?
So does this work on the T-mobile TP2? If not, can someone point me in the right direction to get the white flip clock?
Hot dang it worked! Confirmed this works on T-mobile TP2!!! LOVE IT! Thanks!
sauber! eh - fantastic!!!
IT WORKS
confirmed worked on a sprint TP2 with a custom theme. very nice ty ty ty!!!
