Newbie question about Touch HD - Touch HD General

Newbie here, please be gentle!
Recieved a Touch HD the other day and really happy with it.
But would like to add new themes and things like that, maybe instead of using the TouchFlo that is on there.
I don't know what to look for though or anything like that.
Can anyone give me a link to a idiots guide or something?
I can install apps ok. But whats all the stuff about ROMS etc?
Thanks,
Craig

Best advice I can give you is to read the wiki and most if not all your questions should be answered.
If you don't like Touch Flo other options are available like SPB Shell etc.
For themes etc do a search in Themes, Applications and Software
Always do a search before you ask questions as generally most newbie questions have already been asked
i.e. the thread at the top of Blackstone [REF] Don't Start A New Thread - Blackstone Questions & Answers Here!
EDIT
This thread also has info on TF3D vs SPB

HTCFanboi,
I note that you say you searched before posting the question so here is some help.
There are a number of items that do this e.g Ultimate Launch and a product from Vito (can't remember the name, its late). However you might want to try Yrgo, which is still in development but looks very promising. There is a thread in this forum on Yrgo.
Feel free to PM me if you need more help.
Cheers
WB
There is also a program "second today"
For crying out loud! For someone with 200 posts, you should know better than to post a new thread!

SPB Mobile Skin (from Greatbal) HTC Touch Need Help

Hello everybody.
I want to make a skin by my own and tried to change the "perfect" skin from greatbal!
I want to change the icons on the front menu of SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.2!
I want to take bigger icons. Now my question. How can i realize it.
Where i can find these icons and is it possible the make the background of the icons visible?
Many Thx for helping!
Shawn
for you the same like for any other beginner, WHY DO YOU OPEN A THREAD and don´t ask Greatball or post it in the Mobileshell thread or read there how to make a Skin ?
Unbelievable: I have a question, i open a thread
Ok sorry i didnt know that is possible to write directly a PN!
I thought the problem must be posted in the board so that everybody could learn.

Maybe because his thread has received four/five replies already (even if they are all utterly useless). I always post in the existing threads and rarely ever receive replies and there should be no reason why people can't create threads here.. Forums simply work like that.. Cluttered maybe, but there is no help board on these forums so don't blame members who ask for help in new threads.
The amount of time I've seen people complain about making new threads or asking questions makes me think.. If only instead of complaining and flaming you would actually help them then maybe the users wouldn't need so much help.
Sorry OP for side tracking your thread.
here are some threads you can read on customising SPB Mobile Shell

You have to edit the qa_status.dat, define your graphics: main image and the corresponding mask (which gives transparency effect). Try editing my qa_status.dat file and see corresponding result as a practice.
good luck.
Problem is that there are some many new users that are too lazy to search or to read a thread, there are so many threads about how to customize MS and they dont even know what a PM is. Sorry, I can´t and will never understand such people and its really not helpfull for us all on such a big side if every user makes it this way.
@greatbal
Thanks for helping but i still know the Files which i have to prepare to take my wished effect.
But thanks that u take a look at my question and did not make such a trouble if someone needs help.
I cant understand that it is so terrible posting a question if other threads are so big and not compact that it is hard for a newbie to find a special thing.
But its Ok. In future i will try to contact Greatbal with PN and you will see other Newbie will have the same problem and they will also open threads.

***MODS PLEASE DELETE**** Wrong forum
Hey guys,
I've been trying really hard to get a games folder or button in my programs launcher, but the menu doesn't exist under Spb Customise Menu.
I can only Add "My Menu" and then under that a games directory, but i've read many other posts where people say they have it already in their Customise menu list and just need to tick the box to get it.
I'm currently using Greatbal's Diamond theme for SPB MS 2.1 on an HTC Touch Dual.
Any suggestions?
I'd really like to have one folder with all my games as some have installed in weird places (when I haven't been able to tell it where to install).
Any help or advise is appreciated.

as cruel as it sounds- you shouldn't post an entire new thread for something like this..instead try searching like the person who did it for you in the above post
i acknowledge that, and if it's appropriate i have no dramas with this thread being deleted.
i did happen to look at both of those links before posting. all 1 million posts. haha. and didn't see the answer i was looking for.
i probably just missed it i guess. but i really didn't post without having a look first.
what he means is that if you encountered a problem regarding a specific program, it is more promptly suitable if you post it in the same thread/s regarding the application instead of opening a new one.
i know a new thread will gather more attention but surely it will not guarantee instant or faster answers than replying onto an exsisting thread.
also, there is the Q&A thread so if you have specific (and isolated) questions, you should post it there and hope that someone answers.. that is why it is called QUESTION and ANSWER.. not ANSWERS are here thread.
sincere apologies guys.
i'll delete this one and put it in the Q&A thread

How do i install themes on my touch hd?

Hi
Please could someone tell me how i install themes on my touch hd? If someone could tell me what sofware i need and where to get them it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Please use the find function first, there are several threads on this...
i have treid and i still dont understand, maybe ive been lookin in the wrong places.
First of all, your query is theme related so should be in the Themes, Applications and Software forum.
Secondly, once you're in this forum go to search option and type in 'Theme' or 'themes' etc and you'll be presented with theme options!! The wiki also provides info on how to modify your HD's appearance.
Thirdly, in future try a little more searching!!
firstly - thank you
secondly - i did do alot of searching
and thirdly -

Well obviously you didn't search very hard as the Themes, Applications and Software forum is full of themes and installation methods
Just did a quick search and found Maxycy's theme maker v2
Also, no need for language. People in this community do share knowledge and help each other. I pointed you in right direction and you throw it back in my face!! Then you say you did a lot of searching? I for one don't believe you!! Tried searching myself and after 2 secs after I found something!!
Mod Edit: Removed Negative Comment
adz_rolls no need for the comment you made. You were pointed in the right direction. Consider this a warning in the future it could result in a temp/perm ban. Thread closed
Let's play nice, no need for name calling
Question answered - Thread closed.

What Fallen spartan is trying to do, in his own way is try to get new members onboard of the XDA spirit of researching and reading to get done what they are trying to do.
Sometimes there just is no anwser to a question but most of the time you will find it documented somewhere.
It is known that the Forum search is not the best in the world.
That's why there are some tips to be found on the forum on how to search XDA using Google.
Or you can try the custom XDA search Plug inin my Signature.
The good thing is that Fallen Spartan did not need to resort to NameCalling.
