I made silver phone skin for Universal.
The screenshot shows Japanese, but you will see English if you use English ROM.
Enjoy!!
Jun-03, 2006
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
O2 Xda Exec: O2_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.
Does anybody have a .cab (or know where to find one) of a 'blue' Sprint cube? Better yet, the original blue cube with the correct animations and file types to run on the Sprint Vogue?
i second this, the blue ones look so much better and are so much more useful!
thanks.
using no2chems wm6.1 build 104 clean rom, the cube is great. it is blue, and all the icons match up with the captions.

If you guys are talking about the Original HTC Icons that work on the sprint vogue w/all the right animations, here you go Just use total commander or any other registry program to copy the BRN files to the windows folder and use the Sprint Touch Cube Configuration Tool 4.1 to change the links. And don't forgot to do a soft reset.
Please Backup your Sprint BRN's just in case you want to go back.
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'm looking to create my own Today theme, same as I did for my Kaiser, but it's simply not working.. I'm using ThemeGenCE 2.6 from here: http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=1523
Problem is when I create it, it looks fine in ThemeGenCE but when I load it I just get a very generic looking Today screen with a green/blue fade looking background and blue top/bottom bars, Start Menu (QuickMenu) is a white background.
I've been using the "Classic Blue" theme which is okay, but wanted to change the background, it all looks fine when I use it. So I copied that to my computer, loaded it into ThemeGenCE, only changed the images, saved it back, still the same generic looking theme.
Anyone know how to create traditional Today themes for 6.5? Note again! I want to create a Today theme, not a Manilla/TF3D/etc theme! I don't use TF3D, I use Pocket Plus.
Attaching an example of what the theme looks like when I try to load it..
Search my friend. It has been discussed in this forum a lot of time before. 6.5 themes are based on reg. So you need to have those reg in your theme.
Best way is to take classic blue, rename it to cab, then extract reg. Use that in your new theme.
Search and you will find more info. If not hollar, i will give more detailed explanation later.

Huh. And here, all this time I've been using OCP's CAB Extracter to modify the default blue theme to include my own backgrounds... I guess that's called the 'hard way' now.
Okay, maybe I'm confused, because everywere I look are MANILLA themes, not today themes.
I'll look into checking out the theme I'm using as a cab and messing with it, but the rest are all Manilla themes, right? Am I wrong there? For example the Microsoft generator is not for the Today theme right?
Maybe I'm just confused, but I'm pretty sure those references are mainly for Manilla.

The Microsoft generator is for TSK today themes. Manila is made by HTC and therefore, Microsoft doesn't do anything with it.

The only problem with that generator is that it doesn't quite work correctly with 6.5.1 ROMs. Using a CAB editor is still the way to go with 6.5.1.

True that. Personally, I have never used their generator. I just took the Classic Blue and made it into my own.

BTW I tried this thing 4 times last night, it never works. It never seems to create the file and eventually fails and says to restart the browser and try again.. Typical.
Okay I guess I'm an idiot, how do I edit a cab file? I've installed a trial of WinCE CAB Manager and I see the files, but no idea how to extract or replace the files in it.
I just want to replace my two jpg's with the one in the cab, yes? Perhaps some other tool would be better.
EDIT: Duh, drag and drop, uh, a few times, fiddle, drag and drop again... Success!
If anyone wants it, here's my theme, thanks for the help guys! Added the image used to create it as a preview, I could take a screenshot if someone wants.
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
OMGHAX 600th post!
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...
