Ifonz Themes Setup - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

For those of you like me who feel like an idiot for not being able to set up your ifonz theme then here you go. I literally figured this out like 10 minutes ago after searching FOREVER for help on the topic and being afraid to ask for help for fear of a tongue lashing (I didn't know Nick Burns was a regular on this site! Little SNL humor)
Themes in ifonz are really simple. They're not like any other themes we mess with like in weatherpanel, or the today screen. There is no cab file, no installer, just .png files.
All you have to do is:
1. download your theme/icon of choice from the net (do a search for ifonz screen and you'll see what i'm talking about - in Nick Burns style)
2. Copy it to wherever you want on your device or SD card
3. Forget about the Load Themes button in Ifonz!
4. Goto settings/background and then look for the background in .png you saved earlier and click "ok/save" whatever
5. Same goes for icons under the Icons tab in settings.
I know I'll catch a beating for posting this but it's so simple that it's hard as hell to do!
Hope this helps anybody as dumb as me out there!

GOD..is that u
ive been sitting here for the past hour and change to try and figure this nonsense out!
thanks bro!

NOOB! NOOB! NOOB!
If you even bother to search you would have found at least three programs that do exactly that. 2 of them are better than CLauncher. Heck, I have one running on right now.
Am I going to tell you? Nah? Can't deal with NOOBS who expect that everyone is going to drop everything for them just like because they are lazy.
So go do yourself a favour, search and you will find.

Search for 'Theme Generator for Windows CE' on google
I use it a lot and does good job
I downloaded it and am trying to learn it as we speak. I have a theme right now that I really like I just want to get rid of some of the greys to add a bit of color to it. I gotta figure out which fields adjust which colors. Since it is for WM5 I'm having a hard time figuring out what goes where, but I think I might get it eventually.
Also, is there a WM6 theme database anywhere?
Thanks!

It's a nice program but, the UI is all messed up. They have icons everywhere. Basically trial and error method to learn.
Since I was building a Theme Application I had to learn it quick. Other than that I do not have much experience with themes!
I have no idea about the theme database. that would be great!.
If you go to the link at my signature... rk-TSR you will find the theme I built.
Cool let me go check it out.
Yeah, the theme generator is really haphazard and disorganized. I'm not real thrilled with the GUI, but hey, it's better than nothing, and it is free, so far be it for me to complain!
I noticed, for no reason, all of a sudden, when I apply a new theme, I can't click anywhere on the top of my screen. I cannot X out, get into the Start menu or anything. I have to softboot my phone. I haven't changed anything, it just started happening. So, every time I try a new theme, I gotta softboot.

I don't remember the steps involved, But since you say 'Apply the theme' are you applying the theme directly from the 'Theme Gen App' ? if so try saving it as tsk file first and transferring it over to device and apply the theme.
Sorry, I should have been more clear.
I change the theme within WM6. I go to settings > today > select a theme then click OK at the top.
Once i do this I cannot access the top bar, regardless of the orientation. I can't close by hitting the X, or open the start, or anything that is at the top, even in landscape.

Ok, I just changed my myFaves settings, and it caused the same problem.
wtf
dammit
I don't wanna dump all my settings and start over again.
Hmm thats strange,
Are these themes you just created on the Theme generator?
Probably something is wrong with your method.
Can you try one of my themes on your device and see still you get the same problem(since they are also created with the same program)
My device is 'Hermes' with WM6
I tried a theme that I modified in the theme generator when it happened. I bet I messed something up. blargh!
I'll give yours a try in the morning.
I'm most likely going to be clearing the device and letting it reinstall the OS, so it won't be a problem anymore. I just gotta get my outlook contacts saved.

Here, assuming that your phone is qvga since I didn't notice you posting which phone you have, download this theme that I made in ThemeGenCE. If you still have the same problem after installing it then it's most likely something other than your theme causing the problem. If it doesn't cause the problem then let me know and maybe I can help you figure out what you're doing wrong. I've made hundreds of themes in ThemeGenCE so I know how to use it pretty well.
To create your own theme. heres a start!

[THE][16-7-09][v1.0] Apple style TF3D

Here's something for those who are perhaps coming over from the iPhone. You'll probably be more at ease with your device!
By the way, for the record, I just made this for fun, thinking that there are people who actually appreciates this sort of theme. I use my other theme more regularly. Please don't flame me with Apple-fanboy comments!
Note: This cab does not include the taskbar, and 1% battery driver. You may find them at the links provided. Credit to Chainfire, InsecureSpike
Instructions:
1. Install cab
2. At the soft-reset prompt, tap cancel.
3. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Disable and re-enable TF3D. Back to normal.
Meh, You make great stuff dude..
I use your V1.4 TF3D.. btw I'm curious about something..
Shouldn't the "Mail" and "Messages" icon be replaced with one another ?
Seems like the (a) is more suited for E-mail.. xD
Ha! I like your V1.4 TF3D more..... iphone icons?? Don't think so.... that is the reason why I bought my TP2... and not putting iphone stuff on my TP2.
Btw... Awesome work!!!

Well, I'll say this. I'm not a huge fan of the Messages icon I chose to use. I just haven't been able to find one that feels like "the one". Anyway, have a look at the other thread. I've made a poll to see what everyone thinks...

Still trying myself to get this theme thing down, Still getting all kinds of white blotches on my screen which is pissing me off but good work on the apple theme although I do hate apple still looks nice.
Wow, no love for this theme...
The download count must have set some sort of record low for most unpopular theme or something.
Don't things too hard! I love parts of your other theme, elements of that I am using on my own theme for the communications and settings tab.
Since this thread is a bit quieter, could you answer a couple of questions?
I've been using Manila Editor v.0.2 to build my theme, which is a bit trial and error since most of the manilla files are listed as unknown (eg, the program doesn't know what icon they represent) but does give you a preview of the file and allows you to change it. What do you use?
What is the correct protocol for posting a theme containing elements from others work? EG my theme would have your communications, settings (and dammit, more fiddling, now the volume part of settings! But thanks for the effort.) Should I ask each person if it's ok for me to share, post but with credits and links to the original theme or what?
Thankyou for going the extra mile on your themes and customising parts that others haven't. It really makes a difference when the phone doesn't just go back to the standard look once you leave the main pages.
Hey Steve, thanks for the consolation, I feel much better...haha!
Now, regarding your queries...
I've used Manila Editor before...back in the days when I was first bought my Touch Diamond and people were just starting to figure out how to edit manila files. But I've always found it really difficult to use and (like you said?) a lot of the files are categorized as "unknown". All in all, this app is pretty outdated and I don't believe it's being developed anymore.
I use Chainfire's great tool, CFC-GUI. Try it out. It should be quite easy to figure out for you.
I don't know if there's even a protocol (per se) in place for creating themes containing parts of other user's themes. I suppose it's ok if all authors are happy with it. I'll be perfectly happy with you just linking back to my theme's thread.
very good,wo like it!!!

Cal-El's Clocks for new Hero style Manila 2.5

Here are some Clock cabs I made for the new Hero style Manila 2.5! One will give you clear flip panels and a blue tinted background with white letters! The other black flip pannels with white letters and a green tinted background! I noticed there are not many mods for the new Manila 2.5 so I wanted to get some started! Enjoy friends!
thanx looks good
Great stuff. Thanks
Hmm can't seem to get this to work.
Doesn't work on my tp2. why?
Hi ppl...
@ Cal-El,
Nice job man... But for my EnergyRom I wanted a mix of both of your clocks.
So I've downloaded them (and joined forces ) and came up with a new variant that fits really well with the rom colours. Check it out! Once again thank you.
BTW, I have an Xperia X1.
outta curiousity how did you combine them, i like the look that you achieved, any chance of making a cab for it or explaining how to join forces lol thanks

Hi VETTE, sorry for the late answer...
I'll provide the clock for sure and try to explain for you, it's no big deal.
First I gathered the two cabs, then extract them with WinCE cab manager and then used manila editor to see wich files belonged to wich part of the clock.
So I wanted the blue background (there is a file just for that) and all the rest, black number background and everything else, from the green one. I just copied the files from the green clock and the file for the blue background to windows directory and it's done.
Never forget to disable HTC Sense before doing anything, also make sure the attribute files checked in the properties are "archive", "read only" and "system" before copying them to windows dir. And last but the most important, make backups of the files, we never know what can go wrong.
Cheers.

This is slightly off topic, but how do you get the calendar part under the clock to actually give upcoming appointments instead of saying the word "calendar"? Also, is there a way to add tasks to the home tab?

HD2: Can the lock slider change to bottom?

Does anyone know how to change the lock slider to the bottom like the iPhone? please help. Thanks.
search "S2U2" via google.
problem is I'll slide twice as both two lock screen programs are running
For a start, there is a way to turn off the default lock screen if you're using S2U2
Tip 27 from the Hints and Tips thread (I strongly suggest you read it all)
Tip 27. Disable Auto Screen Lock
If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock.
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab:

Second, you don't need to use a 3rd party app, you can just run the HeartOfWolf Lockscreen mod in my signature and it'll move the slider to the bottom of the screen for you. I have no idea why they put it at the top?

Can you explain a bit about this one rather than just post the cab please
You can try the HD2 Mini lockscreen cab..it's quite good, just don't use the PIN unlock.
It's slide down to unlock and it tells you any missed calls, SMS, emails etc...i quite like it actually..

You can also take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632637
At the bottom, the OP posted a modified 480x800 cpr file to do want you want. All you need to do is change the extension from .txt to .cpr, open file explorer and put it in the Windows\Lockscreen file and soft reset.
EDIT:
Also, if you are using the HeartofWolf Mod and would prefer to have the original larger slider size instead of the small skinny one, I've made a few modifications to his LS_LockScene_480x800 and attached it below. All you need to do is change the file extension from .txt to .cpr and install it into your windows\lockscreen file, soft reset and you're good to go. Of course, please back up the original LS_LockScene_480x800 before installing this one, just in case you would like to revert back to the small slider. And of course all credits to HeartofWolf, I just made a couple of changes to his work.

It literally swaps the slider and phone location on the lock screen, nothing more.
Another nice solution is DJ Pete's locksreen. It's a simple modification of the windows lockscreen with manila clock, calendar appointments and slider variations. You can find it at pocketpc.ch in the thread
[Lockscreen] iLook v3.0c [NEUE VERSIONEN!|WM6.5/6.5.x WVGA][27.02.10].

Kandekied, to get you started, go into your windows directory inside file explorer and open the lockscreen folder. Next, copy the file LS_LockScene_480x800 somewhere onto your PC and open it using notepad. That particular file is for Portrait. If you want to modify landscape also, then copy LS_Lockscene_800x480. With the file open on your PC in notepad, you are now ready to begin modifying. The particulars of what you want to do would take alot of space on this post to describe, but to get you pointed in the right direction, I've copied a few threads for you to look at that will help you get started.

You see, this is why I asked for more information about this in the first place. I never install a cab that I've not read about first and that people have tested a bit. You should always link to the thread a cab came from, not just the cab.
Also, chill out. You installed a cab from a random thread and it wasn't what you wanted. If you have to hard reset it's your problem not ours.
If people don't reply to a post it's because they either don't want to or don't know. There is no point in wetting your panties and posting multiple times. It's more likely just to p!ss everyone off and make them not reply.
