Hello,
first of all, i am new on this forum and my English isn't the best, so bare with me please
I have the HTC Diamond vodafone edition, and i got tired of the all white and red touchflo 3d theme. So I googled a lot and found the Diamond TF3D Config application and a black theme. I installed both on my HTC and it seems to work pretty well!
Thats the sunnyside of the story. I found out that installing this 2,3 MB black theme, coasted me 15 MB on my device storage.
Is this normal? Is there a way to get back these precious megabyes?
Is restoring the old theme going to get back theme MB's?
Thanks in advance
Duco
its normal. just bear with it. I have a tmobile handset with ugly pink TF3D but dont use it. waste of RAM and SPACE!
why not just flash a new rom with a decent theme already on it?
@ earni,
Yes i have "hard-spled" my htc and put the original ROM on it. Works like a charm and MUTCH MUTCH more faster
Thanks to the wonderful tutorials on XDA

Can anyone rewrite the cab - I mean i´m german and i´m useing a german rom and the the cab install will install everything on storage card - but in german system its called Speicherkarte.. Can anyone help
I tried this last night, and had nothing but problems, had no responce from the screen, it worked once, and i will admit that it looked very nice.
it just stopped responding, i couldnt even get into the settings or file explorer to remove the WAD or WA from startup folder.
in the end i had to hold the windows and ok hard keys on my touch cruise to reset the damn thing.
I would suggest you back everything up if you try these cab's.
good luck, i hope you all have more luck than me.
WAD2 is still in RC form...there are still bugs that are being worked out till a final release.

That sounds bad...
I hope someone makes it multilangual....
I tried it on my Orbit 2 ..Works really well and responsive...like the animated gesture transitions...(imho its the fastest diamond theme available)
I just installed the deskop not the taskbar thing(don't like it)
Very configurable....still playing with it...
This is a good UI, and very good theme. I have very much enjoyed converting this them to work on the 320x 320 platform. I think you will see many more using the WAD2 in the near future as it is very flexible and quite responsive and not a memory hog.
Jdume I posted a message on the WAD forum you can respond there or here whichever is more convenient.
i used to use WAD for getting the vista theme on my device, really need to get into it again, cos i think probably did something wrong.
i might try again in a few weeks when i have some more spare time, does the diamond theme have any cool transitions? i mean close to the original thing, i heard months ago that WAD2 was next gen. and that would support such transitions.

Greetings Gentox.
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.
p.s. If you need any help just pm me.
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

Hi Chris I reccomend flashing a new rom, have a look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211, its a good guide, once you have completed you will be suprised, its like having a new device.
Had my 'old' Compact IV ROM updated by T_Mobile service and runs bit quickly than originally! However I wonder if I try any new themes (such as ones from here like HTC Black)
they run pretty slowly... sometimes with several sec delays. Is there some way around this?
Im using the TF3D tool everyone seems to use to install them...
Appreciate help, thanks!
(Bored with the t-mobile theme - but it runs quick now!)
J
need help, pls
anyone? is there a way to make the new themes run quicker? my t-mobile standard one is pretty quick, but want same from any new ones i install from here... thanks
Just flash a new ROM, branded roms usually suck. When I used vodaphone branded rom it was slow as well, but when I flashed a new one, everything worked much better
again...
The prob is not the ROM. As I said the ROM i have now is good. Its not slow. The questions is about installing new themes - they run slowly for some reason.
Is there Anyone p l e a s e, who could help??!
ANyone?
I tried couple new themes from here.. but they all run slowly n my Compact IV. The t-mobile original I have runs pretty quckly. Please someone explain why? Any way to improve the speed of themes Im installing?
i found that installing full tf3d themes using the program you are on about takes up massive amounts of memory therefore making the device run slower. try manilla customizer and download the bits you like, takes up less memory that way
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.
Well folks,
Good morning everyone, I have a serious problem ... lol.
I have tried all (I said all) roms from this site amazing and wonderful. I love the design manilla 2d and hate the titanium.
My problem is: I do not think a WM6.5 ROM with manila 2d to not get warning "low memory" on my htc touch elf. I already tried installing the Manila 2d on a clean ROM with wm 6.1 htc touch, but it was good.
Another problem I have: I want to qualqur cost the digital clock that comes in manila, it is very beautiful ... the problem is that whenever I finish any connection, or some program and put on the screen at home, the hours go back one hour behind by about 2 seconds and return to normal again. That's a bummer, I tried in HKLM to change the delay time, but only solved the delay when the phone is in sleep mode and switches to normal mode.
Please, if someone can help me, I need a rom with manilla already installed, but it uses little memory in order to install a ROM 6.5 with manila already included.
Thank you in advance.
Vincent.
Not quite sure what you are asking here (its early and I'm not quite with it) bt I'll reply anyways.
From what I understand, your installs of Manilla 2D are taking up to much space on your installs, leaving you less space to sinatll apps straight to the phone?
Have you tried all of the mods in [UPG] P_D Optimizations [03.14.10: ELFin HD2 Theme] ? This has a lot of tweaks and space saving optimisations for the Elf(in) and are very well explained as well. Could be worth a shot.
Hope this helps.
Stu
Thanks a lot capitanstu72, i will try this, optmized my htc elf and put results here.
Again, thanks.
I tried to put the custom theme that I indicated, but the theme will not boot, it worked.
I'm confused to what you mean. You say it didn't boot, but it worked? How so?
Have you tried using M2DC to remove some tabs to see if it works. You may have to disable footprints unless you have installed that part seperately.
try milky 6682 if u havent tried it ..... consumes 34mb memory on default
