Hi All, What a great forum! I hope being a noob i am posting in the right area. Anyway here goes.
I recently purchased an ex-contract diamond which is locked to Vodafone, this is fine because I am on vodafone however, the hideous red and white theme why ? Using tf3d I can change themes although the phone seems a little sluggish afterwards using touch-flo. Does tf3d replace the theme or just skin the phone ? I tried to flash the rom using the latest from HTC but as soon as I put my serial number in it disowns me and states I will have to get onto vodafone. Full circle back to red and white theme lol. If tf3d truly re-writes the theme without affecting performance, please can somebody point me to the default stock HTC theme the one on this site is down. my rom version is 1.97.161.4 WWE 26-10-08 radio 1.05.25.08. I prefer this rom version as a lot of niggles seem to have been ironed out. I just want the default HTC theme without losing performance. Any help would be appreciated.

Would like to get rid of the pink T-Mobile branded TouchFLO interface. What's the easiest way? I'd avoid flashing a cooked ROM, if at all possible.
Thanks in advance.

Check out that thread. Has a cab with the black manilla theme. Or you could choose one of the many .cab based themes that are around!
i really do recommend you just flash a new ROM instead of installing a new manilla. the T-Mobile ROM is so horribly slow you'll be amazed how much faster the 1.93 roms are!

I have to say that he´s 1000% right. I have also Vario IV and thought that no need to flash, only changed the Theme. After 2 Weeks me was boring and I tried the Romeos 1.4.1 Rom .... Fantastik how much ist the difference ....

All you have to do if you want to get rid of the touchFlo interface and not install a new rom is to get TF3D Config and download some themes for it and you will have a new interface look and no flashing of your rom.
TF3D Config v0.6.7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749

I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact IV as well and now am using the original black Touch Diamond Theme interface.
If in the future, you decide to go back to the original T-Moble interface, you can do so using TF3D Config.
Hope this helps.

how to remove the ugly pink and white T-mobile stuff
Hello people,
I just bought a T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Netherlands), and the pink and white T-Mobile interface is horrible. All I want is the all-black HTC touch pro interface. I know that this question has been asked repeatedly, but I didn't understand the replies since this is my first smartphone, so actually i am a novice. Could someone please explain step-by-step how I can get rid of the T-Mobile interface and put the all black HTC interface on my smartphone?
Thanks a million in advance guys

Ar eyou sure they were rom specific features.
They sound more like downloads from the market. ie better keyboard skinned to white etc
not sure but it is possible
I am pretty sure.
I think it was a ported version of 32a (HTC)
The background color of the icons was Orange when clicked
The phone icon and the contacts icon were Orange,multitouch, and so on.
Regards
double post, my fault.....posted from magic ....
Never seen anything like that I have tried many roms but doesnt ring any bells with me sorry
oh, and the dialer....it has that white dialer....the one that you can press for example 326 and it searches Dan
Found something close to the one i am talking about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532902
sound like the one i'm currently using.
i used nk02 multilanguage beta3 from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524229
i find it to be slower than the default vodafone rom, but i like the dialer, the camera and the fact that i can use it with exchange without a third party app.
EDIT: if i could figure out how to get the features i like from my current rom into the default vodafone rom, i'd probably do that.
Extract update.zip to a folder,then delete and add what you require.when your done rezip jthe files and use testsign.jar to resign the update.zip.there are walkthroughs in android development section
Hello everyone.
Recently i updated my HTC Touch Diamond to WM 6.5. Everything installed just the way it supposed to have. But i got 2 issues which makes me wanna come back to my old rom.
Previously i got old 1.93.479.3 stock rom but i needed to install it because i bough my phone from guy in sweden (im from poland) and needed rom in my native language.
To update i used Windows Revolution Manila 2.1 Edition 1.1A (23017) by mike1986 which had both windows mobile 6.5 and TF3d 2.1. And generally i love my new rom. Exception is 2 things:
1. What i cannot digest is the dialer. I just dont like. It is tachi's dialer with black skin on it. I would like to go back to my stock Diamond dialer (if it possible with the slider).
Dont get me wrong. Im not the type of guy who writes complain and wait for ready answer. I tried to make it on my own for 2 days now. I managed to change tachi's skin to white and it looked much better but to look great i need old white one. I found 3 cabs with that but none of that actually made things better (installed all: Diamond_PhoneCanvas_full_Eng_without_battery_icon.cab , xmatrix_PhoneDialerBlackS2A.cab. and Diamond_PhoneCanvas_Slide.cab - dont remember from where on xda i get it - sorry).
When i install any of them, tachi is gone but instead getting my stock diamond dialer i get wm dialer but without any skin - jsut black and white. When i choose to not use HTC dialer i get wm dialer again but with skin on it.
Dunno what im doing wrong but it is possibility that this is it - im a lumberjack not a telephone soft expert.
2. Dont know why, dont know how but in my new soft keyboard choosing is limited to only 1 position. I cant change keyboard layout in fly. Instead i need to run some .cab to which shortcut i have in settings area. Can i do something about it? I found already intelwrite for my new windows mobile but sometimes i need to change layout to phone because it is hard holding something (driving wheel or something else).
I wont bother u any more and im just counting that u will find a little time to help me. Thanks in advance.
I had the European Version of the HTC Touch Pro 2 and now it's not working. I have T-Mobile in the US and found a good black friday deal so now I can have 3G. The phone is a bit different than the EU version (looks worse physically) the theme is similar but I like my original HTC Black Theme from the EU version. Does anyone have that theme? I also have an HTC Touch Pro EU version, but not sure if that theme will work with the Touch Pro 2. (Plus it's still a bit different anyway)
Basically if I can get the original HTC Touch Pro 2 .tsk that would be great.
Also where do these files go?
Thanks in advance.

Can someone post a screenshot of what that EU theme looks like on T-Mobile's HTC TP2?
Sweet! Thanks so much. I appreciate this. I will try it out and report back.
Thanks again.
I've got the original slider (black & white icons// EU stock) made for sense 2.1.. works perfectly. If needed i have it in a cab
i would like to have the original slider from 6.1.. thanks
hani1, note that the cab i have is the stock EU slider (winmo6.1 icons) made for sense 2.1 (unbranded official 6.5upgrade). I'm on my tp2 right now but will upload it asap
same here, using official europe 6.5 rom.

Thanks for the theme. Unfortunately nothing changed. It's weird. I thought it should work being that everything looks the same except that the US version has a bit more gray. (Not as black as the EU version. I got the them to show up and select it and nothing changes. When I select the other defaults the slider and everything changes. Also I'm not sure if the clock changes with the theme. The clock on the T-Mobile version is inverted. White numbers on black background. I like the black numbers on white background. Oh well. Thanks anyway.
hey everyone! i got a question lol..
i decided to go with the tmobile 6.5 and was wondering is there way to have the the animated weather on the home screen? like in the newer sense
Hello
Yes,it is possible,of course.
I do not know about Tmobile ROMs though,but about HTC custom ROMs I do know.
You just need to install custom,official HTC WM6.5 ROM,and you will have everything on it...animated weather especially looks great.
You know the procedure of flashing? If you do not,go to ROM section,this is not a thread for it.
yes i know how to flash..
been coming here since my touch pro1 but i recently flashed to the tmobile rom just too check out the new upadate to 6.5..so i need the official htc rom instead?
You need to run a rom that specifically has the Sense 2.1 (notice SENSE and not just regular 2.1) or a rom that runs manilla 2.5. Either of those has the weather background you are talking about.
The problem is that T-Mobile changes the default wallpaper to something other than the animated weather wallpaper. I am looking for a way to enable the animated weather wallpaper on the TMOUS ROM and will post back if i find anything.

You can try this way. Pick a T-Mobile wallpaper you want. Use HDWall to make a cab from that wallpaper. Install the cab file and soft reset.
From what I can tell, T-Mobile replaced the animated weather wallpaper with some T-Mobile.png for the default wallpaper. Can anyone upload the animated weather wallpaper from the EU ROM or similar?
HTC Sense
Well guys,
I am reading all these posts,and I just wanted to give you all a small advice...
I realize that most of you guys live in the USA or Canada,and I can understand why do you want TMobile ROM that much.
However,I highly recommend official,stock HTC WM 6.5 ROM,because it has all the stuff we need.
Our friend asked for weather animated screen. So,if you really want that,install the ROM I mentioned and enjoy. No hacks,no registry editing,no nothing. Just flash and enjoy.
Besides,it has a lot of functions you will like a lot. ( And you will get a real,Windows Mobile 6.5 look..........
Best regards from Serbia.
well the official ROM is nice because then we don't have to load cabs for the keyboard and MMS fixes. As well as cabs for the my account, VVM, and myfaves if you happen to use it. I did run the EU ROM for a couple months until I found something better and it was great. But I do not need the animated weather wallpaper bad enough to prefer to install all the extra cabs i would need to make my phone work for me.
If you could go into your phone and attach the animated wallpaper then we could load it onto our phones as the default wallpaper and it would make life much happier
Animated Weather aka HTC Sense
@Zylograth
Well,I am really willing to help you guys,but maybe you know the following:
Animated Weather is highly complicated program,which is not consisted of animated wallpapers only. It changes according to weather...if it is rainy,small drops are all over the phones screen,if it is snowy,snowflakes are all around...if it is sunny,sunlight is all over the place..it is the most beautiful today screen I have ever seen.
However,I will try to figure something out. So far,I know it takes about 25 MB of RAM...can you imagine how big that .CAB file would be,when it takes about 25 MB of RAM? I need to find a way to extract it from my ROM and make it usable,(if it is possible at the first place,but I doubt)
Yeah, I am not too worried about it, though it would be nice to have. If I decide that I cannot live without it I will go back to the EU ROM, but for the time being I am happy with the TMOUS ROM lol

Thanks to El Daddy, weather animations are as simple as using HD walls and the hack below (old HD walls cabs made in winmo 6.1 work, too)
Awesome!

I just used a HD walls cab and made 2 reg edits.

delete the value for CashedBackgroundPath and HomeBackgroundPath. That should work!
