Does anybody have a .cab (or know where to find one) of a 'blue' Sprint cube? Better yet, the original blue cube with the correct animations and file types to run on the Sprint Vogue?
i second this, the blue ones look so much better and are so much more useful!
thanks.
using no2chems wm6.1 build 104 clean rom, the cube is great. it is blue, and all the icons match up with the captions.

If you guys are talking about the Original HTC Icons that work on the sprint vogue w/all the right animations, here you go Just use total commander or any other registry program to copy the BRN files to the windows folder and use the Sprint Touch Cube Configuration Tool 4.1 to change the links. And don't forgot to do a soft reset.
Please Backup your Sprint BRN's just in case you want to go back.
Hi all,
I want to switch from the original clock that are default in Today screen in Cruise to something that looks like the Diamond clock.
That is all I want to do, i don´t want to change the entire interface only the clock.
Is it possible and how do i do it ???
Thank you guys, you ROCK !!!
//Peter
Ps,
Why do i want to do it?.. Simply because I'm getting tired of seeing that same old clock, day in and day out.
the clock is made of images stored in windows directory or in htc home dir.
You can search for diamond style htc home packs, open the files and copy into your pda only the files corresponding to the digits.
Thank you for the quick response.
However, I'm kind of a noob and would very much like to get some solid advice on to what to copy and to where and what to delete and so on...
Othervise I will **** things up and be stranded with a screwed up home screen
Cheers,
//Peter
HTC Home Customizer
is the name of the game
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
(for free)
then you need a diamond clock skin such as LPASO's (look for in this forum).
I did it myself - it works very nice.
cool, thx
I will try it out, this was exactly what I was hoping for
edit:
Sorry to bother you guys with this but i only find a cab for the entire diamond theme.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=404415&highlight=LPASO
Can anyone point me where to find only the diamond clock skin ?
again thank you,
//arcspin
Get it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393451
and remember, you need HHC v1.0.
As much I like the software HHC it is huge just for me to switch the clock skin.
Is it possible to replace to original .png files for the standard clock to the .png files in the clock folder found in the "Diamond_HHC_Theme.zip" ?
That way I don't have to take up 4mb of memory just to switch clock skin.
First of all, is it this simple ?
Secondly, if it is that simple, what are the .png files named that are the standard clock skin and were do i find the on my TC?
Many Thanx,
//arcspin
If you find files need to change and give me place to change, I will make for you (cab) I create allready for dailer in diamond style only for original wm.6.0 rom you can check my 4shared.
this HTC Home Customizer not work for me
I am also looking how to my original HTC Home plugin make with more buttons still only 4, and look close to diamond
Still With Original Rom....
Once you have setup your clock & the rest (icons etc.) in HHC, you can get rid of the program and all its files (ie, uninstall & delete directories) and still keep the custom cofiguration of HTC HOME, which is saved as a set of files in \windows folder.
That way you can save that 4MB+ of memory, and still keep the diamond clock, but you cannot customize HTC home any longer.
YES!
Luckily and to save you doing a search (please search forums first it wil save you getting ripped) i have attached below.
Unzip them and copy to your HTC home file on your device. Copy and paste in the correct place and it will replace the files only to do with the clock and nothing else.
Please make sure you do a backup of the HTC folder on ur device before copying new ones, just incase you f#@k things up!!!
I always copy folders or files to a TEMP folder on my sd card, if you play alot and you make a mistake (and you will) then you have a life line!!
Also HHC customiser does not work with original HTC plugin, you have to unistal and use HHC one, which is kool, but may invalidate your warranty. For a noob i would just use the clock face files for now.
Have Fun!
Thanx Timmy and you all for this nice info.
Yes, of course one should do a search, my bad.
It was also my bad that I didn't quite understand if it was just to replace some .png files or if I had to do something else as well.
Now, that you have explained it to me it looks like a simple operation for sure.
Thank you and I will back up my files....god advice *smile*
cheers,

Jay,
If you want to customise HTC home fully, ie with 6 tabs and change the icons etc use HTC customiser, search for it here.
If full customisation is not important but want fully functional 6 tab, use the cab file attached which i got from a wm6.1 Rom on here.
Hope i understood you properly ;-)
I want start-settings-today-items- and push (htc home) and I lkie (options) button become active (and choose how many tabs i like)
this cab can help me ???
i use original rom with 4 buttons
Jay,
You cannot customise the default HTC home which comes on the Touch Cruise.
If you want options for how many tabs you want you will have to unistall HTC Home on settings/remove programs. then do soft reset.
You can then try HHC customiser (do a search for link) or try the cab file i posted. This will install a cooked version of HTC home which you can then choose number of tabs and the order.
The good news is , if you dont like any of the "cooked" versions you can do a hard reset and u then have original one back again.
What ever you do, do a full backup using sprite software that came with the phone before you do anything!
My friend can you post this sprite becouse I don't have? I saw on www.htc.com downloading for diamond but I can't take (other serial)
No can do bro, it came with the device on a cd. If you dont have the disk google it and purchase the lite edition, it does what u need and is pretty cheap 20$??
Its a good backup and has got me out the ****e when playing around.
This cab which you gave almost good but music tab start windows media player and not active buttons after in home plugin
maybe I have I never chek cd
This should be a central Thread for all Topaz and Rhodium Files. Some of these might Still be in WVGA, but It will still give links to everything. No need to have multiple threads in different places. Maybe A Mod can go through and Merge some of these threads together.

I noticed someone has posted a supposed Touch Pro 2 Calculator .cab:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/software/freeware/per-htc/htc-freeware-htc-calculator-esclusiva. It looks great other than it is a huge install and it only works on WVGA. Looking at the cab file, there appears to be an XML file which skins the app. I'm throwing down the gauntlet to see who can first adjust all the layout so it fits on a VGA screen.
Also, I notice some images are .bmp and some are .png, so for extra credit see if you can convert all of them to .png and maybe save some space. I'm gonna look into this myself, but I know someone else can beat me to completing this.
P.S. - Not sure if you'll have to resize the button graphics to fit, or if the w/h parameters in the layout xml will do that for you on load.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg
I've done it (before reading this thread). But I don't know how to create cabs.
I resized the buttons (both portrait and landscape) and updated the coordinates and dimensions in the file "CalculatorMain_NoImgPkg.xml" (installed in the \Windows folder).
And also, I don't like all these small bmp files in my windows folder, so I moved the whole bunch to "\storage card\program files\htccalc"
I attach the buttons in a zip file, and the converted xml (also zipped).
This is not much use for most of you, but could be a good base for a VGA version.
"Installation":
1. install the original mylostblog version
2. delete the calc_*.bmp files from your windows folder
3. create the folder "htccalc" under "program files" in your storage card
4. unzip "buttons.zip" into the "htccalc" folder
5. replace "CalculatorMain_NoImgPkg.xml" in "\Windows" with the attached "CalculatorMain_NoImgPkg.xml"
To get to the scientific version slide out the keyboard or use a screen rotation utility.

[OEM] Custom Touch Pro 2 Manila
Got the dependencies working on the Touch Pro 2 files from the dumpity-dump, here's the Manila:
http://www.4shared.com/file/88620823/b845055a/PACKAGE_CustomRhodium_Manila.html
Same launch as the others-- open SIP keyboard while launching. The sure fire way is on Today->Items, open SIP keyboard before checking TF3D. Let's see if others can modify it faster than xboxmod (I'm busy with my ROM this will take take to resize)
EDIT: this is an OEM, not a cab, if you don't know what to do with it, then...
EDIT 2: this has not been resized, it's in CFC form, this came from the Dutty dump coming from SatScan.
Welcome to the EzInput 2.0 Keyboard Suite project.
Ok, the time has come.
HTC has rushed to prepare a pre-release of its EzInput 2.0 technology just in time for the MWC in Barcelona, and we have it here ready for our tweaks, hacks and workarounds.
These are the new layouts - only Phone Keypad and Full Qwerty, this time.
The first two Beta cabs are ready for download, but beware, this is just for experienced users only.
As you'll see, the known issues are a bit annoying, especially if compared to what we're accustomed to with the 1.5 release.
But that said, the huge use of .xml configuration files will probably mean a quite easily customizable experience for all the known form factors.
Sadly, it seems that although the .xml configuration files might be ok, the keyboard in its current form presents too many bugs to be acceptable for a day-to-day use.
Feel free to make your tests and prepare your cabs and packages. A better release will arrive as soon as the first Rhodium and Topaz phones will be ready for prime time...
Downloads
WVGA
NoKbd - Phones without keyboard
FullKbd - Phones with full hardware keyboard
Known Issues
Availability of Keypad Layout.
The Keypad layout is available and working, but not selectable using the settings or the old Input Panel.
To select it, you have to use the new SipMenu, included in cab B1.1 and above.
Only the newer phones from HTC can use the SipMenu (Elfin, Diamond, Raphael, Opal, Jade, Blackstone, Iolite).
The layout can be forced - in Portrait mode - using the registry.
Languages Availability and Selection.
Not all languages are available on the pre-release rom.
The Beta1 cab includes English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
There's no way to select them using the standard Input Panel.
To select it, you have to use the new SipMenu, included in cab B1.1 and above.
Only the newer phones from HTC can use the SipMenu (Elfin, Diamond, Raphael, Opal, Jade, Blackstone, Iolite).
The old Language Packs made for V1.5 are *NOT* compatible with V2.0.
It seems that the main language can be forced through a registry setting, but it has not yet been verified.
Landscape mode keys don't work as expected.
In Landscape mode, a few keys don't seem to work at all.
The .xml layout definition files seem to be ok, so this might be a bug in the code.
Changelog
25-Feb-09: Beta1.3
Solved the space issue.
Removed an extra Tegic setting (coming from V1.5 customizations) that was causing it.

[APP]UPDATED VERSION HTC Album Version 3.0.1911.1826 from TP2 (MADE VGA)
In other news here is the HTC ALBUM Version 2.5.1820.4127 and 3.0.1911.1826. the only thing i see different is 2.5 version does have Album Social Networking and it works with FOOTPRINTS. 3.0 is truely from TP2 and doesn't support footprints. other than that it moves quicker than other albums. this is all i can see that is different. (THANKS TO CONFLIPPER FOR THE CORRECTIONS)
to use it with FOOTPRINTS with version 2.5 you must have it installed already. When you click on a picture that has gps lat and long cordinates in it select menu and scroll down. under save to contacts you will see 2 blanked out lines. the one under save contacts opens google maps while the one under that one opens up footprints.
Version 2.5.1820.4127 that works with footprints, you can download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ynjlvtjawvc
Version 3.0.1911.1826 that doesn't work with footprints and is from TP2, you can download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ktjiyjzzytn
see pictures below from version 2.5 that works with footprints
UPDATE 2/26/2009: version 3 has some pics still need to be resized in should be posted soon as i am working on it as we speak.

We work hard to release this Manila soon as possible.

this project is not an easy task so i ask you to be patient
an please don't spam the thread to ask for a release date.

This is what the word community mean.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fixed
Auto-loader is now fixed!!
Some tabs re-sized to VGA!!
All tabs functional and all features working!!
Major crash issues seem resolved!!
To Do......
Slider bar is still not showing - NEED LUA HELP IF YOU CAN!!
Some tabs still need resizing in both portrait and landscape.
Other than that it's almost done guys. As xboxmod said in his post up above, PLEASE do not beg and whine and complain. It will be released when it is released and currently there is no tentative release date.
We will keep you updated as we go so please be patient.
Thanks for your understanding,
Dan.
EDIT:: [2/25/09]Small update - Weather tab in landscape mode now appears to be almost fixed completely. Update text is in the works Arrows to switch cities are being left out because of the gap they create on the far right side.

Yes, a better idea would be to use a main thread to post the download links, and separate threads for the ongoing discussions... trying to follow posts regarding each package would be overwhelming, in a single merged thread...

I'll start the restoration as soon as I reach home. Regret the inconvenience once again
This is for a developer to use to port the plugins to Titanium if someone likes. I extracted these files/registry from my old HTC Excalibur. If anyone wants to use this Cab to make these plugins work for Titanium, you are free to do so. I meant to do this a while back, but have too much on my plate.
This includes the EXE's HTC made. I think we are also missing the images. Just make your own with the file names listed in the cab's registry.
NOTE: Images & EXE's/etc for HTC Weather included. It just doesn't have the registry. Layout's are in the HTCSlidingPanel_***.cpr's. Hope this helps someone.
I'm not really understand what this cab do??
any screen shot please

This is for developer to finish porting the rest of the HTC Custom Plugins to Titanium. I extracted all these for my old HTC Excalibur (T-Mobile Dash) I no longer have. It's include all files & registry for those plugins so someone can port them just as I did HTC Audio Manager back in April '09. You can most likely find screen shots of these plugins in the Excalibur section or any WinMo 6.1 Smartphone using CHome.
MANILA 2D "How-Too-From-Scrach" tutorial request... and a bloody LIVERPOOL theme!
Greetings, lads.
This is probably, possibly, definitely the best forum for mobile apps/hack etc!
I own an OMNIA since one month (I DIDN'T checked out to see... OMNIA II is on the way - and it's a bloody awesome phone, the best!), I'm "playing" a lot, I'm "wearing" a "Sector Zeus" Rom (Sector is the very best "cooker" to me) and I've changed almost EVERY POSSIBLE UI there is in the planet, to find out what I like more!
Many UIs are simply... "disaster", some o' them are quite good, few are really great... but I think (these lucky HTC bastards!) Manila 2D with TouchFlo is the BEST, the SIMPLIEST, the MOST FINGER-FRIENDLY of all!
So... I'm using M2D along with "Zeus BlackLite"...
Now... I want to find a GOOD, step-by-step tutorial of HOW TO MAKE MY OWN themes for M2D!
I'm capable to make good looking graphics (check my web-site: http://www.lupus-creations.gr - press the ENGLISH version! The other is... "all Greek to u"!), but I don't have a single clue of how to make a M2D theme or to make it in .CAB VERSION!
Can you give me your "lights"?
Also, finally, I've search the web to find out a decent LIVERPOOL FC theme, to install it first in my OMNIA, till I make my OWN Liverpool FC theme.
Is there any?
Thxs in advance for any kind answer of yours.
Regards,
R.
Best way to start mate is to take another theme unpack it then start replacing the graphics files with your own some of the Manila themes come Packaged in .m2dct (manila.m2dct) change the m2dct to .zip (Manila.zip) some come in cab files you can download freeware ce cab file software google it
Like your graphics and look forward to seeing your themes
Nice example here:

(lower file count in windows folder = better performance) I also got rid of 28 files that repeat them selves through out the tabs. also I changed most of the bitmaps to PNG'S (MUCH Better) some files still have to be bitmaps like the ones in the photo tab.
so it is less work and I tink that it should be a great starting point for you.
I personally like to make "performance" themes for manila. that is to say hemes made for low end devices like the wizard which has limited space ram and processor. so I usually save most of my files in 8bit 16 colors.
the challenge for me is to make it look good and work fast... currently working on a "ducati" theme. should live up to it's name.
I was actuall thinking about writing a tutorial recently concerning making lighter skins. reaon I started to make my own is that on some occasions I would istall some one elses on my wizard (when i still had it) and would get terribly dissapointed at he performance drop.
I think that will be my next project.

BLOODY MARVELOUS, dear "S.V.I"!!!
Thxs a lot!
Another Q.
I've start workin' in a M2D skin o' mine...
I can't understand - first - HOW can I enable the ANALOG clock instead of the digital and... HOW - second - a skinner is managing to PLACE the analog clock NOT in the middle but in the upper-left corner! I've seen some skins, with the analog NOT IN THE MIDDLE! I want the same thing for my background pic, 'cause I have my "theme" in the middle and right... and I've left "empty" (more-or-less) the upper-left, for the clock...
Can you please gimme your "lights"?
Thxs.
P.S.: Generally, .png are TOTALY suitable for interfaces, instead .bmp - .bmp are HUGE kb's images and therefore, the skin will be "hard" for less-powerful devices.
enabling the analogue clock i a rgistry setting in hlkm.software.htc.manila.home. set the reg to 0.
there is a value in the home xml tat movs the center position of the clock. the number digits have to be moved also. the values for that are top left corner of the image file. it helps to draw a huge cursor layer to help you figure out the poitioning.
sorry for the spelling. my keyboard is misbehaving. mut be dirt under the keys.
as soon a I have some free time (hopefully this weekend) I will write this tutorial thing.
I have finally got the latest manila "fixed" with analogue clock as well as digital
did ou know that the botom bar (slider) can be only 1pxl wide?
Well, m8... you gotta write down this bloody tutorial for M2D!
I can't wait!
I hope you write it in this weekend... I'll be around, every day!
Cheers and thxs!
