OMG, I so pissed.
Here it is in a nutshell.
I upgraded my ROM to dutty's 1.9b EXTREME ROM. It works perfect. I spent 3 or 4 hours last night getting everything setup.
I decided to try the blue theme made for dutty's extreme. It didn't work for me. It left the screen half-done. I got the analog clock, etc, etc.
I thought it was stupid of me to forget to back the phone up before I tried the theme so I had to reinstall the ROM at least 3-4 times. (Each time I'd get something wierd)
So, I got it all setup tonight, reinstalled all my software, etc, etc.
I backed up the phone using sprite and tried again to reinstall the blue theme for dutty's EXTREME 1.9b.
Again, I got it half on the screen and it simply won't work.
I'm cool with that but there is no way to uninstall it. So I restored my backup.
Unfortunately, it left the half installed theme on the screen.
I read that you should install TF3D configurator from the Diamond and you can restore it back to it's default.
Apparently TF3D configurator is not compatible with 1.9b EXTREME.
I keep getting "An unexpected error has occurred in Diamond TF3D config.exe"
Point is, can anyone tell me how to remove a theme without reinstalling my ROM again. I really don't want to do it AGAIN!!!
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark
delete all the .manila files in your windows directory I think, can't delete the ones in ROM so will revert to original. None of the TF3D edits work with the new version.
Thanks, I already reflashed it. I figured since I did a backup this time, I could install the new ROM, do a hard reset and do a backup.
Took me all of 5-10 minutes.
Much easier with a backup.
Thanks,
Mark
EDIT: Mods, feel free to delete this. Sorry for the wasted space. Thanks.

UPDATE: 26/10/2009 Firstly I would like to apologise for the lack of updates but I have had a very busy last few weeks both personally anred professionally.
I have now completely rewritten the .cpr file to be better suited to our phones and although you may not find it exactly the same as the original Titanium, I think its a good effort and a good match. Again this is a BETA release, so everything may not be perfect. I am also working on being able to change between Titanium and Sliding Panels, but I don't when I can complete that. Thank you to all those who have already downloaded.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After having downloaded ALEUT's new 6.5 rom last nite, I started to work on a few things. So far I have made Titanium work for 176x220 screens, but please remember this is a very early alpha and has been ported from a 240x320 .cpr file, and I am continuing to work to make it work properly.
The second thing is that ALEUT's 6.5 Menu Style was a bit green for my liking, so I decided to make a blue one instead and thought it would be nice to share it.
I've been a long time reader and user of XDA, but rarely have posted my works. Hope someone might find them useful.
Dear neodoughnut
its really nice theme but there is a problem in this theme after fresh installation when i install it it works fine but when i install something eles any app then after restart there is no more that themes remain in my Spv c500 i tried again and again but same problem?
Luckylips: I'm sorry to hear that you are encountering this problem. I've installed most of my regular apps since having installed the MenuStyle but haven't had any problems so far. Is there any app in particular that causes this or is just anything that install?
Well i don't think there is any particular app ! whatever i install and after that when i reboot my cell theme is no more!!
Is there any plugins that can be used for this titanium? I mean, weather, launcher, or etc?
Fix

No more Homescreen available... :-(
Hello,
I seem to have the same problem with the Titanium theme. I installed it and once I reboot, no more Home Screen can be found.
About the new files from the fix? Where do I have to put them? \Application\Home ? Is there a way i can edit a file to get back to the normal homescreen? I really do not want to reset my phone to defaults.
I hope somebody can help me out here.
Thanks
@oolinger
u should copy them in \aplication data\home.
then select titanum home screen in setting>homescreen
but the main problem of this cab is cpr file u shold use this cpr
With the new .cpr you gave on desktop appears the message:
"The layout you have selected cannot be loaded...please use...."
hi
this is not my work just rewrote some files
the main add"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566731&highlight=sense+UI"
replace cab attached.
1-download main pack from above add
2-use 2 below cab instead of main cab
3-you need JMLPanex2.1 and mortscript("http://www.sto-helit.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=5452&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=200")
4-first install mortscript then install JMLPanex2.1 after it install hero pack (note 2) and then restart
Well gave it a shot. No love. It makes the Mobile Op screen and freezes.
I'll try again after I reload 6.1, however I think it may be asking to much of the phone.
How much op memery is needed to have all this running?
Remember specs for Typhoon are less then others
Has only 32 MB built in.
Sorry to report.....
I have followed your instructions to the letter.....and again I have to reload my phone with Win Mobile.
( Sticks after Windows Mobile Load screen)
Do not try this unless you are comfortable in flashing your phone!!!
For folks who are flash shy, go with farzad23's Diamond Theme. Easy and good looking.
@ Greywolf_Ghost
i.m using ,dont need more ram but it is a little heavy and another point is "did u read the main add instruction???"
JMLPanex need wm6.5
why flash u'r phone u can just hard reset ,very easy at boot start
Yes as I said I did everything you listed. I even went into 6.5 and tried.
I am running 6.5 as I type this.
The poor little Typhoon just does not seem to have enough available program memory available to handle it all.
The reason for the reload is.........
by default, the last installed screen before reset comes up first. So the phone locks up before it finishes reboot. It runs out of available memory and stalls. ( I tried a number of ways to attempt to get to a default 6.1 or 6.5 main screen no luck on my end).
Thus with a reload ( less then 7 min), no added registry, wallpapers, or files to clog the boot up.
If others manage to get, good on them.......please post up on steps taken.
My feeling tho is this is more for a 64MB and above phone.
It's why I said less advanced users should go with your Diamond version as it looks just as good as this.
farzad23
I would like to give this another try, however I need you to list what files in what order have to be installed.
I have been reading your instructions over and over, and they are confusing!!!!!
Please list by order, and link the files. ( all required files, and anything that is not needed please also list as a don not install).
Please clear up so I can see if this does work on a Typhoon.
Is anyone else mixed up by the first set of instructions?
@Greywolf_Ghost

@Greywolf_Ghost
u should install TItanium"http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588837" then restart then>start>setting>home screen>choos titanium OR titanium media
farzad23
Many Thanks on the redo of instructions. It worked.
I'd say tho I still prefer the Diamond Slide. As I like the slide bar going top to bottom, in Titanium, bar stays mid and the rest moves through it.
This does look awesome tho.
In any case Thank you for the re-writes!!!
Many people including myself were unable to install SPB shell 3.5 after upgrading to MR1. One of the reasons I wanted 3.5 is so that I could install "MobileSense". Lets face it, the interfaces available in the X2 leave a lot to be desired.
I finally successfully managed to get it installed and working using this method.
I had read this suggestion to help speed up the device -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663093
I decided that maybe if I did a full device clean using SKtools then maybe the update will go well without any residual garbage causing problems.
This is what I did.
(1) I Ran SKtools and performed a complete clean up.
(2) Re installed MR1 using SEUS and waited for it to finish to a factory fresh install.
(3) I Removed panels I didn't want but left SPB 3.0 there.
Installed 3.5 and let it remove 3.0. When complete, shut down and restarted again.
(4) Installed MobileSense and restarted again.
It worked! After this I installed SKtools and Advanced Configuration Tool again and then cleaned and optimized my performance settings.
So far it is running very well, but we will see if it does that black screen stall. I am almost sure it will do that anyways ... but so long as I have SPB 3.5 running now, I am happy.

I think that step one does not give you anything, because when you install a fresh-install of MR1 it will wipe out everything on the phone's memory, and reinstall a new image. You are with an identical system as before your clean-up run.. IT would make more sense to do the cleanup-run AFTER installing MR1...
It's basically because most of the problems come from
TileWave Panel.
And sometimes TileWave.
I don't use TileWave and I'm completely free from any freezes.
SPB is horrible for me, so I save a lot of space on my X2
I am starting to doubt that upgrading to MR1 does actually "wipe" everything. It must leave some stuff behind compared to doing a "Clean install" like the X1.
Reason is, why will SPB 3.5 install successfully now, when it never did before?
The phone is running pretty good so far, no stall yet and no connection loss to the SD card yet either.
Observing how the MR1 upgrade installs, it is almost like it patches different parts of the OS one at a time. It takes sooo long! When I reflashed the entire ROM on the X1 it took maybe 10-15 minutes if that. Does that make sense?
i never had a problem installing spb3.5 but when it was on it tried to wipe out the MS panel and i got random bugs when trying to go back to slideview to pick other panels. returned to the standard spb panel in the end. but might try the remove slideview fix and see if that makes a difference. i rarely use any of the other panels so will be no loss..
Hi
I'm in need of some guru help as this has got out of hand now. Since friday I've been flashing different ROMs hard resetting, soft resetting but still end up with the same problem. I'm at a loss now I'm not sure what to do it's getting very annoying. I've upgraded HSPL to 2.51. Tried running a Task 29 on my internal memory before flashing a rom (currently using Energy ROM 17th April) but whatever rom I try using Sense 2.5 with CHT 1.7 after a soft reset sense will not load up. Even trying a RestartManila.exe or running the manila.exe doesn't work at all.
What can I do?? should I try formatting my SDcard as well?? HELP PLEASE I've reflashed my phone and had to try and reinstall everything over 5 times this weekend and still it does this!!! never did it before until now
50 views and no one knows??
I had a similar issue when I copied my wm 5 contacts file to the phone.
If I deleted it, it was fine.
Maybe something to do with the contacts file?
Not sure but I've been using Windows MyPhone to repopulate my contacts after I flash and it's always been fine up till now...

It is common (unfortunately) for PIM contact restorals to hose up manila.
You will likely have to hard reset to get it back, sorry.
What I do is set up GMail as an exchange account and store all my conatacts to Gmail, so when I sync after a new flash all my contacts come back but I still have to manually ad them to the contacts tabs.
By contacts tab do you mean the favourites the 3x3 grid or the whole population ... if the latter that would take me ages!!! otherwise I could just not bother syncing the favourites when I run MyPhone hopefully that would work!
Just the 3x5 tab.
Everything restores just fine including photos.
Cool thanks for letting me know will try and remember not to sync those from now on! Soft resetting and not having manilla show up with every rom I tried in past few days really annoyed me!
Gah I've got this problem again. I erased all contacts and didn't have them as favourites... then yesterday I soft resetted after installing a program and now I can't get Sense to load up it just sits there on Launching Sense.... any ideas?
What prog did you install?

First:
Remove the co0kie home tab and test.
i've been having loads of issues since upgrading to the new stock ROM (3.14.405.2), everytime i try to open skyfire or send an MMS it gives and error saying 'not eneough memory, free up some memory and try again' i keep checking the task manager and there aren't any other apps working. the photo tab on manila hangs almost all the time as well. have tried removing CHT 2.0 but that didn't help at all...infact without CHT it dosent even seem like the same phone it.
i did a full restore using spb...not sure if that had anything to do with it.
clean up and move cache folders as described in tips and tricks thread

Yes, the restore is the problem. After a ROM upgrade you can only bring your documents, contacts and calender - if you try to bring the old system files & registry as well you will have only trouble. Hard reset and start from scratch.

Thanks. I think it's not a good idea for me to upgrade to stock rom now. I am using sprite backup on 1.48.xxxx wwe rom and I am quite happy with that rom with htc updates installed manually on the device.
May be you have already tried that but if you would use sprite backup then there is an option of merge level 1 in restore options of sprite backup which will try to restore your backup to a new rom from an old rom backup (as in your case). I don't know that such option exist in spb backup as I don't use that program.
If you haven't tried it yet you may do so and I am not the promoter of sprite backup as some ppl. may take me wrong. It was just my 2 cent advice.
Thanks again.
