I made silver phone skin for Universal.
The screenshot shows Japanese, but you will see English if you use English ROM.
Enjoy!!

Added Black one.
Again, the letters depends on your ROM or mui setting except for "Video".

I found some people wants carrier's.
You will see them on FTP/Upload/Universal/Phone Skins
You can the following phone skins:
Qtek 9000/i-Mate JasJar/Dopod 900: Qtek_Phone_Skin.cab

T-Mobile MDA Pro: T-Mobile_Phone_Skin.cab
Vodafone v1640: Vodafone_Phone_Skin.cab
Orange SPV M5000: Orange_Phone_Skin.cab
Again, the characters on buttons depand on your mui setting.
Enjoy!!

Uoloaded carrier's on this thread.
Very nice, but this has to be installed in the main memory to work, thus taking up our precious memory.
very nice , can you pm me how to make it :wink:
thanks
cktlcmd:
Yes, this cab file is too big just to change phone skin. It would be possible to use skin files in storage after changing registry.
I recommend cooking your own ROM with your own skin (or mine). (Of course, you cannot use carrier's in this case.
mwang:
There are many *.bmp files used for phone skin. I haven't perfectly found which bmp file is related to each button.
Only with this change, you cannot change "Video" button. The *.dll files (phcanlrc.dll & phcanprc.dll) have resources for "Video" button. You have to change it if you want to change "Video" button.
You will need to change resources of "phcanOverbmp.dll" if necessary.
As for registry, you will find many keys under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin]

I have tryed to run one of the files on an Emulator and the Emulator HArd resetted itself. Have you got any idea ??? will that happen with the device also ? PLus does it really mean that you can get rid of the ugly t-mobile phone skin but keep the Video button ??
Churchill:
I've never run these skin files on emulator, but these worked fine on my Qtek-9000. I also can swich skins with these cab files. I have no idea why these skins shut off your emulator.
Regarding "Video" button, these are included in dll files in my cab file. You can modify or replace it to another one. It would be possible to use T-Mobile "Video" button only. (i.e. use Vodafone skin and replace dll to T-Mobile)
P.S. I don't think T-Mobile's is ugly but this is only a taste.
hard reset problem <Emulator
i guess OS on emulator didnt have 3G function.
so relative files of 3G function, such like follows confilict with its owns.
phcanprc.dll
phcanOverbmp.dll
phcanlrc.dll
phcanhtc.dll
phcanrc.dll
anyway, shugo's sikins are for the Phone with 3G,
should not use on Non-3G phone.
You might be right abou that Asukal
Thanx
Best phone skin so far??
I've seen this phone skin...I love it...
And I've used the search function on this site, but can only find it available for smaller screen HTC devices... ie; KJam :x It does not work on the Universal.
I'm no expert, but can someone explain to me how (in idiot's language please) I can recreate this skin for the Universal?
I can use Photoshop easy, so once I figure out how to extract the relevant gif files, I can alter the buttons quite easily....
If someone can explain it to me, I am willing to email / post the results back here...
Here's what the skin looks like...
try spb dialer skin
hi all..
for those who is really bored with the original dialer skin,..
y dont u check the spb software house site..
they give a few free skin (it's made for their spb software actually)..
but the they still give the free dialer skin..
me myself use one of their dialer skin, quite ok though..
dunno if it's works with ur machine, but mine (xda IIs), not a single problem...
eventhough the site said it's not working on wm2003se..
okie...

"Wisbar Advance 2", you have to download from Wisbar website.
But you need to download the Theme from the web (done by somebody) it is call Pocket OsX.
http://members.chello.nl/ddelug/skin.htm
Be warn that Wisbar will slowdown the PPC a little bit.
I think the new dial pad from CrossBow Theme looks better.
how on earth do you change the keypad skin on a universal without going to registry all the time i thought its meant to chnage with the theme.
regards
I actually did registry edit almost manually.
First I copy the keypad related registry out into *.REG files. Keep this as a backup and make another copy to do a text edit and modified it manually. Basically the filenames are the same, I put the new skin in the extended rom, so I need only to change the texts "\Windows\" to "\ExtendedRom\Windows\". Afterwhich I copy the new *.REG back into the registry. Soft reset and NEW ＤＩＡＬＰＡＤ ＳＫＩＮ.
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*

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
I remember reading somewhere that Touch3G aka Jade has TouchFlo 2.
But on my Jade if I go to Settings/System/TouchFLO it says:
TouchFLO version 3.0 (build 31508).
So what do I have? Manila, Touchflo, 2D, 3D ??? Could somebody please explain the HTC language to me?
Also, specific to the Jade, what is the difference between themes and skins? Isn't it the same? I am reasonably computer literate, but like clear definitions of things.
Reading through the posts on Manila modifications, one poster stated:
What version of TouchFLO have you installed? You need to have at least M2D version 20
How come that my phone is new, and I only have version 3??
Thanks for help
Joe
Manilla 2D
The Jade has TouchFlo 2D (as in 2 dimensional) also known as Manila 2D, TF2D or M2D.
Themes and skins are, afaik, the same, and the person stating that you have to have at least version 20 means version 2.0 actually.
'Manila' btw is HTC's codename for the Touchflo interface
Touchflo 3D (also known as Manila 3D, TF3D of M3D) is a different story.
Whether a HTC phone has TouchFlo 2D or 3D depends on the capacity and resolution of the screen. The Jade has a QVGA screen (quarter VGA aka 240 x 320 pixels) and can't handle the TF3D animations and touch posibilities.
A phone with a VGA screen (640 x 480 pixels), like the Diamond, usually has Touhflo 3D.
Fellow forumers, plz correct me if i'm wrong....but this is what i know.
Hope i helped you out a bit
Thank you Nirak for help. So I have TouchFLO 2D v.3.
If have a few more questions for those who modified their Touchflo -
If I want to change my Touchflo, I understand I have two choices -
Uninstall it (don't know how) and find and install a new one; or
modify the existing one with registry edits and/or Manila Customiser.
This Customiser - is it basically a new additional program that runs alongside the existing TouchFLO, or is it something like a registry editor that only modifies the existing TouchFLO and can be later uninstalled?
Thanks
Joe

If you want to change (I assume modify/customise) you can do many things including changing the registry, yes and also change the graphics, etc.

AFAIK, briefly the customiser (M2DC) does not run alongside. It's just a program that does (simplify) the registry editing and a few *.xml files (for customisation) for those who do not wish to dwell into. yes M2DC can be uninstalled (after using) and TF2D runs fine.
I am not sure how to uninstall TF2D but you can always deactivate if you do not wish to use it and use other today themes or plugins, etc.
uninstalling TF2D that is included (cooked) in your ROM is not possible, but as Azahidi says, you can deactivate it and use the standard Windows interface, or any other shell you prefer, like SPB Mobile Shell, and there are others.
Basically TF2D is also just a shell round your Windows Mobile System, that's suppossed to make it easier to use (not always is...) and more 'eye candier' .
The M2DCustomizer is a easy to use utility to modify the settings of TF2D and use other skins, look over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
and here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974 (older skins)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451702
Since i'm not that much of a techi i like using M2D Customizer, but just like Azahidi says, these modifyings can also be done by editing the registry and/or .xml files
To give you an idea, here is a screenshot of my Jade's homepage with basically the standard TF2D, modified with another skin:
Thanks azahidi and Nirak.
I've been reading all those posts several times, it is starting to make some sense.
Looking at the M2D Customizer - I believe it will back up the existing factory Touchflo and I can restore it if the mods did not work or I did not like them. Is this correct?
Apart from other mods, I would like to change the email widget to a 'Tasks' widget. I would like to see a different icon instead of the envelope and instead of the sheet of paper sticking out of the envelope I would like to see a list of tasks etc.
I don't think that the Manila Customiser can do that. Is that correct?
And I don't think I could achieve this by getting a new skin, could I ?
Maybe there is a program somewhere to design a complete shell from scratch on desktop PC??
Joe
I think you should test Spb-Mobile Shell 3. It is very good.

Yep, totally, just remember first thing to do is making a back up of your original theme, M2D Customizer has a tab for it ('restore')

You can install anything on your device, depending on the purpose and your liking, and how you want to customise your today screen. Yes you can install Manilla2D (TF2D). Just search xda, get (download) the .cab file to your PC, copy to your device (or download straight to your device) and then run it.
Many thanks for your answer azahidi.
I tried to install M2D as you told me. I folowed the guide witch is here. So that I have installed HTC Home v 2.1. and after that [11.3.08-Update 20] M2D Build 1.0.18203328 - Jade (TOUCH 3G Version). Restarted device, but nothing happened. When I turn my Home screen as TouchFLO, on my screen appeares text: "Tap here to launch TouchFLO" and when I tap there, the whole device becomes to be totally frozen.
Can anyone help?

I greatly agree. SPB Shell is 10 times better and user friendlier then TF2D. I had TF2D for about a week and tried out SPB Shell 3.5 and I have never gone back. I am one happy customer.
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!!!
Can someone help me, i would like to change my 2.5 slider icons so they would look like the rhodium stock ones. I've attached a file (i don't remember which member did this.. sorry) with them resized to work properly with SENSE 2.1 's calendar tab (because of the date shown on the calendar icon).
more specifically, i'd like to know how to extract the files from that cab, and where i can get a 2.5 slider cab so i can change the colored icons to those black and white ones, plus new ones for the footprint & the twitter tab
Actually i have good basics on program developping but i have never made an executable cab file.
Also, does anyone know how i can get rid of taskbar icons that were pre-installed on a rom that i use (uzeb french rom).. i think he used this package ( http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=65911 ) (it's the same icons that i have on my device) but i would like to use the original 6.5 icons instead.
Thanks in advance!!!

To extract files from a .cab, I usually use cab2oem.exe, which will more or less achieve what you want.
To make .cab files, I use WinCE Cab Manager, which costs $99, though there are excellent free alternatives, such as QuickCab, if you don't need advanced features.
Lastly, to replace the icons, you need to use an untouched shellres.192.dll from a 6.5 ROM. Since I was working on a project involving such a file, I'll attach it (as a .cab installer). Just install it to your device, soft reset, and you're good to go. If the cab doesn't work, or it produces unexpected results, just uninstall it and post what happened here.
EDIT: It's attached. I had to zip it because the upload kept failing.
thanks a lot for your time dave, but i didn't see any images after extracting my cab, i just got 38 files without extentions (0cfe494a_manila, 59c727fc_manila,...) ---> 12 of them are 65kb each, 24 are 17kb each + I also have 1XML file, 1 RGU, 1 TEXT and 1 DSM. To be honest, i don't know what to do with that at all
And about your cab, well it did restore the SIGNAL icon and the notification icons (new text, missed calls...) but the rest stays the same (wifi, active sync, battery, volume...)
Anyway, thanks again man you're great

The manila files are as they should be. Manila uses PNG images that are somehow reformatted in a proprietary way, to become the xxxxxxxx_manila files. If you need to edit them, I'd look into Mode9 editor, or another manila editing program. Just set the directory that the xxxxxxxx_manila files are in for all folder options (when you start it for the first time), and you're good to go.
The DSM, XML, RGU, and Initflashfiles.txt files are useful only for cooking ROMs. Cab2oem is a tool for creating oem packages from cab files, so they can be baked into a ROM. Since you aren't cooking a ROM, you know that the files go into the \Windows folder, and there aren't any registry entries (confirmed by looking through the .RGU), they're not terribly useful to you.
As for the icons, I don't quite know what else to do. You could try dumping your ROM and looking for the images you don't want, then dumping a stock 6.5 ROM and taking the images you want from that. Then, you could create a .cab to replace the images, but I think that'd be a lot of work, not really worth it, and there's no guarantee it'd even work.
Also, if you manage to create a black and white slider, post it on XDA please(I like the black and white style from the older versions much more than the colored ones). Hope that helps

well the cab in the first post IS a fully working b&w slider but for SENSE2.1, all the icons are from the winmo 6.1 stock rom so if u have sense 2.1 in your device, my friend you will be happy with that cab trust me (somebody from xda did it for me a couple of weeks ago and i've tested it myself.. but i wanted SENSE 2.5 in french so much and a rom just came out that is not heavy on memory usage so i flashed my device for the 1st time but sadly, the rom was too customized ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/editpost.php?do=updatepost&p=4984984 ) even if the tweaking part is perfect
can't nobody take a look at this? Think about it guys : to have sense 2.5 with a the BLACK & WHITE stock SLIDER. + All the icons are provided with the perfect size (in the cab) except for twitter & footprints!! :S
wouldn't it be great?
so, nobody wants to see their rhodiums to look classy with 6.5? ...
just kidding
bump. i want some classy b&w slider icons for sense 2.5 (unfortunately, i cant help). my today screen just getting too much on it with maxmanila and i think it would look cleaner. the dusk theme has good looking slider, but i would like to see just the slider and not the whole thing (plus dont think its compatible with my current rom; juicy r5)

i'm with you on that, i mean there's too much colour on manila 2.5 home screen for our devices,... at least, if the slider looked like the stock one, b&w, the screen would look cleaned up,.. plus having a stock feel on it
(ag'n, sorry if me english bad izz, native language french )
I would also be interested in the STOCK black and white icons for the bottom bar/slider in Manila / Sense 2.5...
Thanks.
well i'm not a cook or a chef, but since an official landscape support is (obviously) coming soon, i think i will work on that seriously.. all the knowledge i have on the subject is what has been advised by "dave the tytnII guy" a couple of posts ago..
so to begin with that, i need the manilla files coming out of both:
-a basic sense 2.5 (by that i mean a portrait "only" version)
-the files from sense 2.5 with official landscape support (just like in ark666's latest rom)
-plain b&w icons for the footprint tab + the document tap + twitter tab (i have my ideas on how to get these but the final result may not be perfect..)
so i'll be sure to make 2 of them (since there's the document tab in the second one + landscape so there may be more files to handle -- also the one with landscape may not work on portrait versions of sense 2.5)
--->> i'm asking u xda folks : can anyone provide me those manilla files, and will anyone be able to put my work into a cab? (i'm not a pro, i'm just a passionnate HTC user )
currently using nrgz latest 2.5 rom, and i would also like to have a custom slider.
so far
i have done an export of all manila files from the phone to the pc, and then used cfc-gui to export all png file. this gives 1420 images.
i thought i could easily look through these files and spot which ones where the ones used for the slider and then replace them.
the trouble now is, i can see multiple images that could be the one used ( ie i have 5 twitter "t" that are all the right size )
so does any body know the manila file names of the items used in the sense 2.5 bar.
what would be handy is the manila file names for all
14 slider icons, the preview picture, also the icon used in the sense tab settings.
wow, this is exactly the way i have planned to proceed...
now, the only way i can think about is to start working with that, even if i have to do it one by one for all of the image files :S.. then it should work i guess
... but also we need to find the right images for both footprint and twitter tabs...
so nobody wants to see that happen i guess...

beerbaronstatic was helping me out with this. The first one he made for me had some glitches, but I haven't tried his latest iteration. I will have a look at it this weekend. See the following posts:
