Hi All
First of all I am new to all of this but have spent the last week trying to figure out what to do but failing badly - therefore apologies to you all if my question could be easily found through a google search ...., but I have failed to find it
So at the heading says - how do I install a theme/manila files onto my Ignito without using TF3D Config - I have tried copying them across to the windows directory but still cannot see them listed under the Today settings.
I am using TF3D, on a 1.93 rom on a O2 UK tariff
Fingers crossed someone will be able to help me in simple - idiot proof - instructions
Thanks all
Jean
Ermmm - in light of the fact 77 people have looked at this but not replied does that mean ....
a. Its a really stupid question not worthy of a reply
or
b. No one knows the answer
a lot of people use tf3d config on 1.93 roms with no known
problems.give it a try.you can always take it off again and
return to your stock rom.
Hi i have a 1.93 rom which had the o2 theme, i installed the original black theme on it using tf3d config and ive had no problems.

use total commander to copy and paste the files into the windows directory!
Is there actually a reason why you're trying to do this? TF3D Config is a quick and easy method for changing your theme so to try and accomplish this manually seems needlessly complex. Which, I'd guess, is probably why no one's answered your question; it's likely that no one has ever tried to do it manually as TF3D Config does it all for you.
For the record I've got the stock 1.93 ROM on O2 and I've managed to change theme with TF3D Config without any problems at all. My girlfriend's done the same with her stock 1.93 Vodafone ROM.
Hi All
Thanks so much - the problem I am having is that I can't find any themes within the TF3D config programme - so for example - it asks for a path to the file containing the theme - I highlight the theme location but it then does'nt load
Am I being really dumb!!
Thanks again all
Jean

loool OMG select the folder where your themes are located!
You can't select TF3D themes in the Today settings. A WM6 theme (.tsk files) yes, but no Touchflo.. You'll have to either use TF3DConfig> Create a folder called 'themes' (without quotes) in your storage card and put the xxx.theme files in there. Use tf3dconfig, press 'path', doubble click storage card, highlight themes, and press 'ok'. There has to be only .theme files in there, no folders or zip files, they don't work...
Or if you want to copy files to the windows directory, the method is to extract all the manila-files from a theme. Copy and overwrite all the manila files to the windows folder. Folders, zip-files or .theme-files do not work. Only manila files. I wouldn't recommend this one, but you gotta do what you gotta do..

Thanks again - I've done exactly as you say - and in fact that's what I have been doing - yet no theme is available within TF3D - I'm trying to install a manila theme called Black n Blue - I get a warning saying I must have 20mb free - which I have - so at a complete loss as to the problem.

Hmm this is weird.. what ROM do you have? Is it stock? And what version of tf3dconfig are you using?

Rom: 1.93.206.3 wme - Original o2 VERSION
TF3Dconfig: 0.6.7
It's very frsutrating as the process should be simple - yet installing a manila theme in anyway seems impossible - I can change the picture background via Flo and of course have a WM theme if I turn off Touch Flo - just not install a theme that intergrates with TFlo - thanks for the time and help
Yes I can imagine. But on the thread about tf3d config, it says 'Please do not install a Theme on a 1.93 ROM!' Maybe he's referring to stock roms? I also have a 1.93 rom, but it works without any hassle. You are not willing to update to a custom rom?
Have you tried to copy all the manila files to your windows folder? Use total commander.. original explorer does not work..
I think that's what I'm going to have to do - just less hassle if I can get away without replacing the rom - never mind it was worth a try - the weird thing is even copying across to the windows folder- via ActiveSyn - also does'nt work - so a bit stumped
Thanks for all the help though
You would have to use Total Commander to to copy files from your 4gb storage card to your windows folder. It doesn't work with activesync or explorer..
Ahh okay thats good to know -off to try!!!!
Perfect - fiddly - but worked a treat - it was trying to copy across via Active Syn that was the issue - hugely appreciated thank you
It's worth noting that this can't be an issue with stock ROMs because both my girlfriend and I have successfully updated our TF3D themes using TF3D Config and we both have stock 1.93 ROMs.
Not that that helps you out at all, but at least people reading this will know it is perfectly possible to do this using a stock ROM.

Same here, i have tried many themes on the stock o2 ROM with the TF3D config with no issues.
I can't believe so many people out there don't realize what the problem is. The aforementioned "Black and Blue" theme (and many others) is NOT a .theme file, so the TF3D Config application CANNOT be used to apply it. It is instead just a bunch of manila files that need to be copied into the Windows directory (with Total Commander from the sound of it). I have had the same problem with the same theme.
Are we being dumb in that there is a simple way to create the .theme file? From a collection of manila files?
Hi, recently I tried to update my manila weather files, but something went wrong. I also only just renamed the old manila files instead of copying the original files outside the windows folder. Therefore, I now have an oval moon on my TF3D weather tab (I already found the proper manila file to get the sun normally shaped). Now I'm looking for the following file to get my 'normal' moon back again as well: 060bb8f2_manila
Could somebody please upload it for me? It can be found in the Windows folder by using Total Commander for example.
Thanks in advance!
here you go it is from a 2.03 rom
All credits for you! Got my nice moon back now
hello guys .. am new
and I would like to greet everyone!
I write to ask if you can change the icon system (the ones in the programs, settings tab, etc.). with which programs?
Thanks to all and I hope you respond
hello
a good program is manilla customiser v0.8 which allows you to change separate elements of the TF3D interface (clocks, icons, curtains, sliders + a few other things). This program can be found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420
I don't use the TF3D but I would still want to customize the folders icon (start menu/programs).
As it is now the only icons I have are the [games] and [office mobile] icons (icon.ink file). Ive tried to import the icon.ink file from my Glofiish X500+ but when I transfer them they don't work anymore...
Any suggestions?
Hi
i am useing SK Shortcut Manager to do this.
http://www.s-k-tools.com/sksmgr/sksmgr.html
and the .lnk file doesn' t work if it is transferd to another device for a simple reason.the icon itself is stored in .dll file or in .exe file.you would have to transfer those files to.if you are interested PM me and i will upload my .dll files with icons.
sorry for my bad english
Hi. I have changed almost every icon of manila. I cant find only 3. From the (extra) comunication tab , i cant find 1- bluetooth , 2-microsoft push , 3-eroplain (the first icon of the list). If anyone knows... Thanks ,
use one of the plethora of manila editing programs and just go through them...
I already use manila editor, but i dont know which manila file are those icons. I have paint red some icons ,and i miss the above 3. Look the screen ..
You might find these are PNG images in the Windows folder - not actually manilas
I solved the problem. It was manila files.
Hello my friend
I would like to cook a wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 on my LEO rom.
I have read cracing's tutorial, made a cab, and i run this cab with RUNCC.
The cab is installed, but it appear that my reg entries aren't wrote ( or erased...)
Anyone have somes idea for this problem ?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
Nixeus

How to cook custom background wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 ( Home Screen )
1. First rename your image file ( PNG or JPG, Not sure about other formats ) to HomeBackground.img*.
2. Create a CAB file ( Using any of your fav SW, i.e WinCE CAB Manager ).
3. Place this .img file into the CAB. Location should be \Windows.
4. Open Notepad and copy the reg entries written below :
HTML Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CachedBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\ReturnValue]
"Status"=dword:00000001
"FilePath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\Setting]
"Enable_DRM"=dword:00000000
5. Paste into the Notepad file.
6. Edit the image paths to your image located. I.e CachedBackgroundPath, HomeBackgroundPath and FilePath. The HomeBackground.img and this image should be same.
7. Save the Notepad file to 1.reg.
8. Import the 1.reg file into the CAB file and save it. ( If your CAB manager doesn't support importing reg file(s), try adding the reg entries manually )
9. At last use this cab file to your auto run or etc inwhich the cab should be installed while Manila 3D is running.
This big process is coz, these things should be changed/written while Manila 3D is running. If you do this into rgu and run Manila 3D later on, it doesn't read/change the background wallpaper. However, I have tried few hours playing with this and found the working way. If any of you can find still more simple way, that would be more then a great.
Note #1: The file extension should be correct. i.e reg.txt or img.png is wrong. Make sure about it!
Note #2: The Manila 3D should be loaded fully before the CAB ( via autorun ) installs. If it a lil difference, Manila 3D won't load the image. It is hard to setup but this is the only way!
Sorry for writing too lengthy and not so good language but I hope you can understand better
Thanks a lot to Amarullz!
Best Regards

Hi,
I got the same problem.
Did you managed to solve it?
I also would like to make the cab do not appear in the program list (just to avoid that it is uninstalled)
Why are you doing it with a cab? I would just cook it straight in, with the reg entries and the image as a rom file. There are probably some provxml's that will over-write the reg entries (and maybe rename a file to the background), so find the provxml's and edit them.
Hi Farmer Ted,
I tried cooking the background (all regs + HomeBackground.img), but It didn't work.
It seems that it has to be done after manila is fully loaded.
Anyone have managed to get it to work?
