I got the WMP Touch skin from patr!k's list, and I've used it happily for a while.
Today I was tinkering in WMP's settings, and I happened to load the skin page. It took a while, so I went on to other pages, but unbeknownst to me, it had loaded the WMP default skin. So when I hit OK to save the settings, it saved teh WMP default skin.
So I uninstalled the HTC WMP Touch Skin program and reinstalled it. No change. Uninstalled it, reset the phone, installed it. No change. Other combinations of installations and resets, and nothing.
I even extracted the .cab on my computer to see if I could manually move the skin in, unfortunately the .cab builds the skin during installation.
So now in landscape mode, the HTC skin works fine. In Portrait mode, the default WMP skin appears.
Any way to revert to the HTC WMP Touch Skin? Anybody happen to have the .skn file I could just pull in? Strangely enough, going to WMP Options > Skins doesn't even show the HTC skin.
Any suggestions?
Did you go to the skin tab and let it search for skins? (You have to do this while in portrait mode)
I did it once, but I just let it do it again. It will only show the default WMP skin, and the next/previous buttons are still greyed out. I can't click on them to advance it either way. I cannot select any other skin.

Hi
I have my Exec in corporate mode, so the phone application isn't skinned with the O2 phone skin with the Video button, its the default blue one.
Is there a way to create a skin (or directly edit the button images) to change it to a black/silver skin?
I have tried installing a couple of VGA skins but they all seem to change the CALL HISTORY button to a VIDEO CALL one....I never need to video call but make extensive use of the Call History button and don't want to loose it.
i've tried looking in the \windows folder and can see the images I need to change but when I use GSfinder to copy ones over them it doesn't work as there ROM files. I can't see any reference to them in the registry. The only ones I can see in the HKLM\Security\Phone settings seem to only work/be used when the VIDEO CALL button is activated.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks

hey, i just installed the iphone slide2unlock on to my htc mogul 6800. it works and everything when i open the file and click on the slide tab, but what i want to do is set it as a screen saver so that it come up everytime i power the screen off. because now what it does is it runs but when i slide unlock it it just goes back to the file i opened it from. Also, the date is correct but it always displays the wrong time, can anyone help me or give some insight on how to get it to do these things????
take a look at the readme file that's included in the slide2unlock installation directory. There are a bunch of registry entries that control the configuration of the program.
Also, make sure that 'ilock' is in your startup folder (it's installed there by default). This program must be running for the slide2unlock software to do things 'automatically'.
I am a definite newbie that just updated to wm6 and would like something different, you know to personalize my 8525. I would like to have a bigger clock and some local weather information. It would also be nice to have larger buttons to make better use of the available screen space. I do not have the capability to do any reg edits, or even know what they are - so I am asking for a simple installation method with instructions for something that does not void my warranty. Thank you very muck! You guys have always been very helpfull.
Install HTC Home Plugin and HTC Home customiser Big Clock Weather Tab, One Press photo dialing, App Launcher and Music player on your today screen with email messages and missed calls one click away with the customiser you can download and add cool colour icons and appearances
http://rapidshare.com/files/66632225/HTC_Home_2.0.8_TNT.rar
I could not figure out how to get it on the 8525. I did dl to my pc but could do anything with it.
copy them both to your device and run them from there they are cab files, just extract them on your pc then copy both cab files over to your 8525 and open them there
I got it downloaded directly to the 8525 but do not know what to do now. Not sure where it is either. please help
well wherever you put it on your hermes, e.g. storage card go there with file explorer on your device and click on each cab file and it will install ,install htc home customiser first as htc home will reboot the phone after it has installed
for a retail app, look at SPB Mobile Shell, which will do that and more
Will this program erase any data on the phone?
Okay...I had the tilt and had absolutely no problem skinning the darn thing. Got the fuze, and for the love of god I cannot seem to get any of the skins to work. Got TF3D config, got a skin, unzipped it to "my documents/personal" folder (so I would know where it is). Disabled TF3D, ran the config and went to Appearance...clicked on Path-----then, nothing. All I get is the folders on the phone and nothing else. None of the skins I've dowloaded show up, just folders...help? I'm sure I'm missing a step, or two.

lol - you're nearly there, when you've clicked appearance, double tap on "my documents" and then just singe tap/select personal and press o.k, you'll then go back to the appearance page and there should be a drop down menu underneath "path" as long as you've put the .theme file in there it should show up in the menu, just select the theme and install.
that should work
LOL??...lol....thank you...it seems that one of the skins I was trying to put in was a .skn file and not .theme....
Okay...I just restarted the phone and it didn't change anything....
Ok, Newbie here. I have the Energy Sense ROM on my TMO HD2 and I have searched but no luck at finding what all I need for the HD Walls. Any help would be appreciated.
Are you sure that ROM doesn't have Cookie's Home Tab (CHT) baked in? If it does, you don't need HDWall beacuse that functionality is included in CHT's latest version.
If the ROM doesn't have that already, I'd recommend you just getting CHT anyway, it incorporates HDWall's methods, among others, and is a great tool to have around in general.
I used to use HDWall by itself all the time, but it's fairly complicated, and it's so much easier now just to use CHT to get the same effect.
ya its got the latest cht already. i kinda thought that but wasnt sure.so what else do i need to create wallpapers? is there a cab for the program i need on the desktop? sorry for the lack of knowledge, just couldnt find anything on it.

Check out the CHT thread, there's info there on the different ways you can do that, it's done through the CHT interface.
EDIT: Here's the link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483
You'll also want to check out the companion tool for that, Cookie's Home Tab Editor (CHTE). You probably have that as well on your ROM, it extends the functionality of CHT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633590
Thanks! Now I just need to find the program for my desktop to create the wallpaper and create a cab file right? If so where can I find these at? If I overlooked it my apologies.

No, you don't even have to do that, you just need to have the image you want to use saved on your phone somewhere (like in a "wallpapers" folder on your SD card, for example), and then you use the options in CHT to choose that image and apply it as the background on your phone. CHT will apply it on all tabs, and even skin the top and bottom bars for you, like HDWall would do.
I switched from using HDwalls to strictly CHT a while ago. It is much less problematic and easier to change wallpapers.
I don't suggest keeping your wallpaper in your SD card but copy it to the "wallpapers" folder in my documents. If you have it plugged into your computer (i do a lot) and reboot the phone it won't find the wallpaper on your SD card as it can't see the SD card because it it plugged in. Yeah, clear as mud.. anyway.

Very good point decim8, and I hadn't though of that...I had assumed that it cached the final wallpaper somewhere on the phone, but it's probably true that having it on the SD card will prevent the image from being usable whenever you're connected in disk drive mode to a pc over usb.
ok, I think Im a retard. I open CHTE and switch to HD wallpaper, reset the phone. I have saved the photo I want under the wallpaper folder on the device, and cant seem to figure out how to set it. The set wallpaper option goes away once I set it to HD and when I go to the photo and try and set it to the wallpaper the only option is todays background and I only see it when Im in the start menu. All tabs are black background and cant change to anything else.
From your home screen...
Hit the Menu soft key and then Set Wallpaper at the top.
Under the Home Tab section, tap the first thing, Portrait... and browse to the location you saved the image. Repeat as needed for the other sections.
Worst case, hit Albums, All...
It doesnt give me the option to set the wallpaper from my home screen (not able to be selected). It is an optoon when Im not trying to use HD though.
Sounds to me like you still have HDWall selected in CHTE.
Select Menu (soft key at bottom of home screen)
Select Co0kie's Home Tab Editor
Select Miscellaneous settings
Scroll down to the "wallpaper Mode" section. "HQ Wallpaper" should be selected, not "HDWall"
Please double check that this is the case. With this option selected you should be able to select "set wallpaper" with the Menu softkey.
EDIT: I have landscape on my home screen enabled via BSB tweaks and "set wallpaper" is not available from the menu when in landscape mode. Works fine in portrait.
Thanks!!!!!!! See I told you I was a retard. I did have HD selected instead oft the HQ like I should have. Thanks for all the help
Edit: The wallpaper is working correctly BUT when I try to set the Skin Taskbar and Softkey bar it gives me an error. Says "Out of Memory Exception"? The phone is no where near out of memory. I cant win for losing.
