TF3D Colour Scheme: Blue - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Hi everyone,
This is my first ever cab so I thought I'd share it with you all.
I love the TF3D interface but my Rhodium came shipped with a black theme with green highlights. Green has never been one of my favourite colours so I decided to change it to blue.
I dug through all the manilla files & windows images and replaced every green image I could find with a blue one.
I'm not too sure how if this will work on other devices... I would assume the manila files won't be a problem on any device running TF3D but I'm not too sure about windows image files... Please use at your own discretion
Feel free to let me know if I missed any
My thanks to chainfire for CFC GUI - this application made my life so much easier
Please Note:
The images for the green colour scheme are contained in both Manila and the Windows directory images.
If you install the manila cab only, you'll notice many elements are still green, like the On/Off selector on the Communications Tab and the highlights in the dialer.
I'm not too sure why it was developed this way, but I have decided to split my cab up for those of you who don't wish to overwrite your Windows files.
I've also included a cab for the stock windows files in case you want to revert to the stock theme. You can revert the manila files by simply uninstalling that cab.
Enjoy

mmm, nice, I'm install it, but tab slider is in top of the active icon.
in Opera doesn't work, as is as, explorer, task bar, an all windows scheme, but is nice... good job!

This theme just replaces image files. The highlights in explorer etc can be changed by using Max TTM as these are not images but a system setting
I would include this is the theme but I don't how how...
Thanks for the compliment though, I'm glad you like it

I have the same issue and I was disappointed. But when I restore the backup (without hard reset) I did just before testing, icons appears and blue modifications are kept ! See image below :

Some of the changes remain after uninstall because some are images from the Windows directory and not in manilla files... I had a similar problem when installing another colour scheme theme from the forum. I will upload a cab tonight with the default files which should take you back to the green scheme.
I'm not too sure what you guys mean when you say "tab slider is in top of the active icon"... perhaps it's an issue with your existing custom theme. I installed this on my stock manilla theme and all works fine. Can you post a screenshot of this?
All I've done is open up the image files and changed the colours. There's no other configurations in my cab, just existing file replacements

I've uploaded the stock Windows files - check post #1
I also split up the theme cab into two parts, Manila files & Windows files so you can choose not to replace your Windows files if you don't wish to

Tried this on my VZW Rhodium over my stock theme. Now my phone dialer won't work, I have giant green circles around every selected tab, and the radio button dots now have small "phone" images inside them. Phone is utterly useless, and will require a hard reset, since your cabs cannot be uninstalled, and I can't install the windows stock cab.
Epic fail, man.

You have a branded Rhodium so naturally this will be a problem.
A lot of other people, including myself, have installed this with no problems at all.
Please do some reading on what you can and cannot do on YOUR handset before flaming other member's contributions.

Thanks i love it. hope its work at my Omnia 2
Its installed sucessful at my device without error.
but i dont know how to change color scheme

Hi idrak3,
This theme/colour scheme is only available for Manila. Are you running a custom ROM on your Omnia with Touch Flo? If not, I'm afraid this won't work for you

[THE] [17/09/08] "Black & xColor" by Elvelynn

It's done ...
With the help of gordic, wrather, Seelenfresser, BenThon and all the other thread-readers I made an update of my "Black & Red" and after that I was able to convert it completey to "Black & Blue"
"Black & xColor V2.1"
Until now there's only a Basic-Edition of each color version. The original HTC Black Theme has to be installed on your diamond before you are installing one of my themes.
(Didn't try other themes as base but I think it would look a little bit funny *g*)
So far I tested the theme with Mossis ROM 2.1 (Base-ROM: 1.93.x).
Files:
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x.zip
All files are in one folder inside the zip-file, so they can be copied to the windows-directory off the reel.
Basic_Black_xxx_V2_x_separated.zip
All files are in separated folders inside the zip-file, so you can choose which files you copy to the windows-dir.
Instruction:
Unpack the *.zip-file you want and read the installation.txt.
(If something is wrong or you need some help please let me know!)
Changelog:
V2_1 [17.09.2008]
- two new color-changed images of the camera
- newer *.tsk-files
I'm not so happy with the calendar-icon, but until now I didn't get a better version of it. Maybe someone else could help to make it more similar to the other icons?
#1
(reserved for further update etc.)
the file is too big ?
try with rapidshare.com
[good work!]
[thanks!]
That's strange because the file isn't bigger than 8MB (that should be the maximum file size of zip-files).
But now I've uploaded it with rapidshare
Very nice work!
Will download....
Does this also change the today screen and other non TouchFlo elements like buttons, captions etc. (globally of course)?

I think it does because I changed also many graphics that have nothing to do with TF3D, for example the Screen if you connect your diamond with USB etc.
And there is also the vodafone.tsk, which makes the "menu marker" red for example.
@NisseDILLIGAF
Thank you!
nice job thanx
Thanks for the theme.
You were faster than me in changing everything green into red. One thing I could not find in your basic zip file was a red highlighted internet globe.
Thanks to the help of NisseDILLIGAF who pointed me in the right direction I was able to change it. Now the theme is perfect!
Win refuses to overwrite the manila-files. Could somebody make from this a real theme-file. The red is amazing color with black.
Theme File
just installed, the red & black looks so cool!
GREAT WORK...thank you
really fine themes, one of the best i tried today
but a few questions:
i made a roll back to my standard theme (with TF3D config 0.6.7) but now i have some graphic problems, e.g. TF-volume is still red instead of original green, also the buttons for choosing between ActiveSync- and external drive-mode if connected to PC. And the (green) button beside the active keyboard, if i want to change half to full or phone etc., is fully lost
Are there any options to get the old status back without a hardreset?
thank you for your answer
ok, ive tried this, but im not satisfied, altough i would love to have a black red theme.
What would make this theme perfect for me is, that it should be exactly as the original touchflo, htc black theme, only where default theme has green colour, it should have red colour, that would be perfect theme for me.
also, i restored default theme, and still i have in volume control red coloured bars, which i can't restore to defaults, which is not ok.
i tried to delete manila files with resco explorer, but says i cant delete files, because they are in the memory. Any suggestion how to do this ?
thank you

Ok, solved it by myself. There is a little bug in TF3D Config-Tool, which forgot to delete three files after choosing a Theme-Restore:
- HTCUSBtoPCPopUp.png
- SIPMenu_SelectIcon.bmp
- HTCVolumeControl.png
After deleting these file and automatic replacement of the original TF-Files by WM (soft-reset!) everything looks ok again
THANKS ! i am happy again
dunno where i saw it, but is there a possibility, to change background on all menus ?
Great theme! Love balck&red
Only issue I have is cannot see the writings in the manilla settings/sound properties, it's only me? something wrong?
Thanks
Black font on black background, got this Prob, too.
If you highlight it with the red "Cursor" you can read it...
Choosing new programs has this small prob also

[THE][2008 Sep 19]Vista Theme for Diamond with new comm manager tab

I made a new vista theme for TF3D. Download over the link in my signature. Inside is the new comm manager tab and the german calendar from d-man. If you want to have the calendar in your language, please download the calendar locales file in your language, please rename the title in Calendar, like he disribed it here. Don´t copy the other calendar files (they are all inside) or change the order of numbers. Disable TF3D, copy all files with Total Commander to windows and restart. Hope, you will enjoy it. Two times during the copying comes an error. Don´t worry, all needed files will be copied allright.
Here - under the pics - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.
Very cool!
i see screens and it looks great!

No Nisse, i don´t have fixed it. I think, it´s the same as in the settings tab, so it has the same font color.
But with your help i changed a little the design od the background. Thx for the compliments.

best theme EVER! However... landscape version for Touch Pro doesn't work=p
Could you fix it please?
Thank you so much!
Thank you very much
Sorry, i fear, that i can´t help you with the landscape version. I have only the diamond. What´s wrong, when you use it? Maybe, i find an answer or somene other here.
New changes
I am learning...so i must post every day new changes to the theme, don´t worry:
Today i am ready with the windows-tsk-file (Black & Blue), i integrated the diamond today picture and a better looking volume control. You can download the file in the upper entry.
Much fun.
Edit: Only new represantation (post 1)
Here - and also in the 1st post - is the file, for to set the words "Verbindungen" to "Comm Manager" and "Kalender" to "Calendar". Copy it in the downloaded folder with the manila files or directly to your windows on the diamond, replace the original file. Keep this file for later themes on your pc.
Hi Neo XL, I have just been trying your theme, it looks great, Thanks. However I am having some trouble adding custom cities to the weather database now, not a big deal. I Have removed the bricks and the bottom curtain and put in a custom home screen wallpaper with the analog clock from the french orange rom. The no bricks looks a lot better I feel they clutter up the screen a lot. I also think the theme would look better with a transparent slider like the one made by pamas which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430287. Just one more point, how about second level icons as well for example in the settings panel or the photos page? An example of second level icon implementation by stevedpl is seen here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427503 it's a nice finishing touch. Again thank very much for the theme it is obvious a lot of work went into it.
I also made myself a single cab file to install it all using quick cab which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400221, with the correct english corrections in it, that way it is easier should I choose to remove it!
Thanks for the feedback.
I don´t have the weather problem...don´t know, if there are more users, who have the same.
You can further shape the theme by your taste...i like your screenshot. The 2nd level icons i didn´t style in my 1st theme, but in the later themes (Pirates, LOTR and - tomorrow - Spiderman).
It´s is a suggestion, even to do something like you want.
You can post your results here for other users, so all can benefit of them.
Hi Neo XL, the transparent slider is the big one for me, I just love pamas's slider.
Definitely sticking with your theme for now, Thanks a lot for your work, a great share.
No idea why, no reset but just powered on my phone and the butt ugly original slider has resurfaced, I will re-install the manilla files to dispense with it, just not sure why it should suddenly reappear, the theme, with my own customisations has been solid all day. Man I hate that ugly slider!
do you have this i a cab file and have you it in dutch ?? look nice thx

You must deactivate TF3d, then copy the slider files to windows, activate TF3D, and it should go. I tried another slider today...no problems.

No, i don´t have dutch files, but it´s easy to edit the manila from the 1st post. Open it with the editor and search for this lines:
<Page Order="10" Name="calendar.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Calendar"> and
<Page Order="11" Name="communications.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Comm Manager"
Replace the Titles "Calendar" and "Comm Manager" with the words of your own language and save the file. Copy this file to your windows on the diamond and reset it.
I don´t wanna make a cab, because for editing and updating this is an easier way.

What slider did you try, I have yours back at the moment and very nice it is too, with a pure black theme, but when you start to add wallpapers you can't beat a transparent one.

[THE] Colour Focus Cabs - incl. landscape, comm & audio manager - NEW BURGUNDY

I have downloaded some of the focus color change files from XDA and found that they were very incomplete, missing many of the other 'green' elements in vanilla black manila, so I made a new one, which includes the focus elements for the landscape icons too. It also has a reg edit to change the enlarged start menu and task manager highlights to gray.
PLEASE NOTE THESE FOCUS FILES ARE INTENDED TO BE USED ON STOCK HTC TF3D MANILA - I cannot gurantee how they will work with Sprint TF3D etc
This is a new thread tidying up my original one with reserved posts below to add the additional colours and images (and as a Canadian I am going to spell colour 'correctly' !)
I have Light (powder) Pink and Blue, Red and Orange so far. Charcoal, purple, light yellow, hot pink, light green, blue and more will follow over the next few weeks.
I will also be seeing if there is an easy way to change the focus colours in the HTC Camera and Album apps
Full theme creators feel free to use my files, though please a) PM if you going too, and b) credit me somewhere
Please report any bugs glitches to me and I will fix them. I am aware that some of my colours have lost the 'gloss' look of the highlights, I will work to return that more in my future colours
EDIT small fix in red focus for opera highlight red to match other reds
EDIT I will be fixing up a few pixel errors (can only be seen if you look closely) on some of the coloured button icons
EDIT Purple focus is updated slightly, the highlight on the opera focus has been toned down
EDIT I am still having problems with the focus on the opera globe - I have removed carbon and aqua cabs for now until I solve the issue. If anyone downloaded them and used them can you please report either by posting here, or by PM, if the focus on the opera globe worked for you.
EDIT Carbon and Aqua focus v2 uploaded with opera globe bug fixed
EDIT Dark Green and Dark Blue focus, see cab files in post below screen shots
EDIT **NEW** Burgundy Focus, see cab files and screens in post #6
THIS WRAPS UP MY FOCUS WORK FOR REGULAR MANILA. I am now working on porting these to Rhodium/Topaz Manila, and making sure I include all the new highlight and focus bits in the new Manila and the Rhodium finger menu etc. These versions will be CFC compressed
I am also creating mini cabs to change the colour of the tab behind the icons on the lower curtain, if you want that to match my focus colours
*UPDATED* Some new colours added, see post 6 for the Gold one
Orange screen shots...for other colours I will just be posting two screens so you can see what the colour looks like on a dark and light BG
Here are the shots from the additional colours. Some will not be showing the optional tab colour
reserved for future additional files

Hi, I currently have the Dark Red theme (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2560150&postcount=661), but I am trying to add all the little things such as selection colors.
I've extracted the Comm Manager selection buttons from the Xen Red theme (found here: http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/), I've attached them here if anyone else wants them.
What I'm looking for is the selection for the Comm Manager in this type of red. Here are a few screenshots of my current red selection. If possible, I would like the Comm Manager to match.
Thanks!
Here is my current Comm Manager selection. I would like it to match the images above.

the comm and audio manager focus files are not 'manila' files - they are simply png's in your windows folder on the device (at least they are on my ROM), so just changing the manila files doesn't change everything. Here are the file names that you need to edit

It seems like for example on the audio manager you have the highlight is the dark red, yet the buttons are a brighter red, and on the comm manager the highlight is grey and the selector is red...
try copying those files from your phone and opening them in PS and you should be able to copy the colour levels from an image that is the correct red and apply it to the others.
If you are sucessful uploading a zip to this thread with the above files in the dark red would be great
I was probably going to be getting to making a dark red version or my cab, but not for a while
BTW what thread did you get the new task bar icons from etc
Hi, like the idea, but is it possible to go back if it doesn't fit me anymore ? Is there a way to uninstall the cab and restore orignal color ?

you just uninstall the cab and restart TF3d in the today screen (or soft reset) and you are back to whatever your ROM has stock

great job! I've experinced here that all focus cabs arent completed. I just instaled your file and i am suprised.
unfortunately i dont find a colour for me. Would be great to see complete blue focus, not Light Blue.

I backed up ALL my .png and .bmp files from my \Windows\ directory onto my computer, and I'm not sure which files are relevant to the Comm Manager selection image. I looked at all the files you mentioned above, but many of them are different icons. The only ones that seem like they may work are P_Button_Down.png and P_Button_Focus.png.
On another note, I can't find the red selection images I currently have on other areas of the phone. Is there another directory I should look in?

[REQ] Clear Windows Taskbar ?

I am curious if this would be possible. I doubt that it is, otherwise someone would have likely done this by now, but is it possible to have the windows taskbar (as well as the bar with the softkeys on the bottom) be clear so that you can see the full image in TF3D, with the icons and writing over top of it just like the slider and icons?
I understand that even if this is possible, it could run in to a few problems once you are no longer in TF3D, because from what i understand you can't have the taskbar be different colours depending on what the phone is doing.
Anyways, is it possible, yay or nay?
Nay.
Yay, with wisbar advance.
can??? haw?
Thanks kraize,I have never used wisbar advance, can you actually make it clear or would I have to skin it with the photo?

Not sure about that one. I know that one person skinned it with a photo to make it look clear. I know you can make it very close using transparency. But don't know if it'd be completely clear.
It is possible, there is a program out there called "PMC TodayShrink", im sorry i don't have a link for it, i used it on my kaiser to see the full today screen ( i had a nice rl today theme) but with the kaiser i had enough buttons to simulate the hidden softkeys, but with the diamond this will be something else......
Edit: i think i misunderstood you here, did you mean transparent?
Yeah, transparent. I don't want to remove the taskbar and softkeys, i just want to make the black bars transparent or rather, completely remove any colour so that it just looks like the softkey writing is on the background picture. Exactly like with the no curtains .cab, where the date and the service provider writing now just looks like it is on the background picture.
And i checked out wisbar advance 3.0 and that could potentially work by just creating a skin for it that will just continue the background picture, but it also changes / adds a lot that i don't want.
Bumping this thread....Is it now possible to make the black bars that house the taskbar and softkeys transparent when using TF3D2?
A transparent bar would be awesome, but I realize this isn't as simple.
What I would like to know is how to change the colour of the bars?
I know is is possible, because I've seen WM6.1 themes that has the taskbar coloured.
I would just like to make the bar something a little more exciting than plain black.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found a little program here on XDA that changes the taskbar colour along with some text colours, as well. Really awesome program! It can be found here.

There are a bizillion ways to accomplish this... editors galore... but the simplest way IMO is to use a .tsk file. They're all over, but I have collected several - both shiny bars and flat matte. I've posted my screen to show one shade of purple (I have two)... Just apply your TF3D theme and choose a complimentary tsk file... It will change all of the windows colors (ie, menus, scrollbars, taskbars, etc.), but not those of TF3D. It is my experience that those colors remain true to the theme. However, there are several "focus" cabs around that will change the TF3D selected items colors.
I have several colors in both styles (and a few focus colors)... if there is something in particular you have in mind, let me know and I'll upload it if I have it.

Thanks a lot for the help offer, I must probably have just found the solution when you replied.
Just about anything concerning manila I already have covered and have an extensively modified theme for manila, I'm just waiting for a particular slider that will complete my TF3D theme. Slider
A coloured taskbar was the next step and now I have that covered, as well :-D
I've attached a screenie of my today screen. The clock I made myself; it was supposed to look like carbon, but I failed, sadly. I like your clock, though, but it won't fit with my theme.
Thanks again. I appreciate it a lot and just might call on your help one day :-D
EDIT: Okay, seems I needed your help earlier than I expected :-D
How did you get your "start" text to show "Maureen"? I followed the steps posted at PPCGeeks by Tsowen (don't have the link with me now), but I can't find the string they're referring to in my shellres.192.dll :/
Oh, and how did you get the "alarm" text to go away, as well? As you can see, mine still shows "6:00 AM" for my alarm and I'm not sure which text to remove from the manila file to hide that, as well.

I was wondering where you got your purple taskbars, I've been searching all over!

I modified the file "shellres.dll.0409.mui" to change the start text... string value 321, by following the same instructions to which you refer...

It's not gone... it's just gray. Not sure how it got that way, though. LOL If I figure it out, I'll let you know.
Sorry I wasn't any more help. I seem to remember having to try, try again with the Start text, though. See if you have better luck using the file I've indicated above. Here are the instructions as I saved them:
Change Start Text
1. Unsign your shellres.dll.0409.mui
2. Open it in one of these three Reshack / PE Explorer / Restoratorand go to string value 321 and change the name from Start to whatever you want.
3. Save your modified file
4. Open MssignerorMultiple file Signer
· click Start sign Process (for MFS follow directions in the link)
· a window will pop-up with "Process finished!"
· You will see a that a text file has been create for your shellres on your desktop
· Open the text file, if you see "Warning: This file is signed, but not timestamped, Succeeded" you know the file was signed.
5. Transfer the modified file to your SD card
6. Open TC and navigate to the /Windows and rename your old file to "shellres.dll.0409.mui.bak"
7. Move your modified file from your SD card into the /Windows
8. Soft Reset updated 12/09/08

Your search has ended...
I found these searching around... the first zip contains two shades of purple shiny bars, the wm_purple contains flat bars. I am also attaching a purple WMP (the original, just purple) skin which matches 75769.tsk... portrait and landscape (PURPORIG.zip). Just unzip and copy the files into Windows (after you make a back up of the originals, of course).
I hope this helps... xoxo

Would be cool if you/someone could make a taskbar.tsk which is black gloss, the htc black is just total black so it's a bit ugly Also I need to ask, I can't seem to put my Diamond in portrait mode in WMP even tho I have a skin for it. What's wrong? :E

Have you tried opening WMP while already in landscape mode? I have a touch pro and mine won't go landscape until I slide out the keyboard. Do a search for apps that address the g sensor/accelerometer (I thnk...LOL).
Below is a cab for "glossy black bars"... I've never tried it. I also have a tsk file with shiny gray bars... might be a good contrast to your theme.

[THE][14-10-09][v2.0] Color TF3D

I must say I'm a fan of TF3D. But personally, the mono-color scheme is not much fun to look at. So, I searched the web for some free icons and made this. I thought I'd share it with the xda community. My first contribution.
(Don't bother with the poll, I've made my decision already.)
Instructions:
1. Install cab (recommended that previous versions of my theme be uninstalled first)
2. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes. To see changes in the dialer, you'll need to soft-reset.
3. Sprint users, please install my "Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab" on top of whichever one of my theme's version you chose. This will add the 2 icons for Sprint TV and Nav. Please see screenshot here.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Soft-reset. Back to normal.
Verizon users, have a look here.
Sprint users, have a look here.
Most devices have black as the default font color for the clock on the Home tab. If yours does not, check here.
FAQ - please read before asking any questions I'll be ignoring all queries covered in the FAQ.
Tip: for improved performance, use CFC Compression. Info here.
Release history
I'd gladly take suggestions and requests. Let me know if you have icons you would like me to use or if you don't like a particular change I made. Together, we can make the perfect theme!
Color TF3D 1.5.cab - Normal
Color TF3D 1.5-no top.cab - Transparent top curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no bottom.cab - Transparent bottom curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no top and bottom.cab - Transparent top and bottom curtains (This is the one used in the screenshots)
Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab - install this on top of one of the above cabs for icons for Sprint TV and Nav
For those of you who have switched to the official WinMo 6.5 ROM released by HTC or if you have Manila v2.1 with the weather clock, please see here for version 2.0.
Users of Manila 2.0 or 2.1 without the weather clock should stick with version 1.5 of my theme.
AT&T Tilt 2 users should also stick with version 1.5 of my theme. I've not skinned the AT&T tab icon. If you want me to skin it, one of you will have to send me the corresponding manila files...
Further development on this has halted. But I'll still continue to try to support it. Here for details.
Like my work? Please donate! Any amount appreciated! Thanks for supporting!

Yes, I used cfc-gui. The section under "manila\icon off" is "manila\icon preview". That's what you're looking for. If you don't see it, you probably didn't extract your full set of manila files.
Very nice!
Great job, but i've got the Vario5 and tmobile made their own icons and I'm not sure if this works on my version, did you test it?

The 64x64 icons in the "manila/icon off" section are the ones to amend for the tab selection bar.

Only tested on my unlocked UK Touch Pro2. So, don't know if it'll work for you. Suggest you to backup your manila files and test it. This way, you can always revert back if anything goes wrong.
Thx a lot! Great work!
Could you make a cab file? thx

Sure, cab added. Please see 1st post.
I'd really like to try this out as it looks great but I'm a bit concerned because I would have no idea which Manila files to back up incase I wanted to change back. Will the cab now allow me to uninstall from the remove programs option and do I still need to turn of tf3d before installing it?
Sorry for all the questions
The tab isnt transparent, and the bottom is white below the tabs. help?

Going to be honest. I've not actually tried to uninstall the cab. But since the manila files are in ROM, a soft reset should restore them if you do uninstall the cab.
To answer your question on which manila files to backup, you can find the list in the xml file if you "unzip" the cab. Alternatively and probably easier would be to be just back up all of them.

Please check out the 1st post regarding the glass slider. Regarding the other problem, can you pls send me or post a screenshot? Don't know what you mean...

I probably wasn't being clear in the 1st post, so I apologize for any misunderstandings. The slider, clock, taskbar, and 1% battery driver are not included in my cab. You can get them if they suit your preference. The links to those threads are in the 1st post. I take no credit for them. 1st post is now amended to be more clear in this subject.
Btw, yes, they are indeed awesome...

Sorry, going to contradict myself here. I just tried to uninstall the cab. It works perfectly. No need to worry about screwing anything up if you install it and don't like it.
Looks great, thanks very much.
It seems that when the icon marked below is pressed, the original icon (i.e. not colored) shows up

I've actually encountered the problem you described when I tried to install my cab onto my Diamond (which runs a ported version of TF3D2). The strange thing was, the problem mysteriously went away after a few minutes. All I can say is, try to disable and then enable TF3D. Or soft reset. If that doesn't work, try to install the cab again. Maybe the script accidently skipped a file…
I'm quite certain the cab works. Tested on my own TP2 purchased from UK and my friend's TP2 purchased from HK.
Wow !
Everything works, since I am a total noob, that's a bit fo a surpise to me !
Thanks everyone !
