Hello everybody
I searched 10 times this forum but i could not find it
IS there a way to change animated wait cursor ?? in HTC wizard ??
I found this program http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14638&associateid=162
but i don't think it will work with WM5
thanks,
DNO
yes there is a way. the icon is in a dll. so you need a dll editor. there´s a topic here somewhere in the forum. i read it the other day. just can´t remember where. Just look for dll editor or something like that. i think vijay555 changed his once to a hamster. just keep looking.
Yes there sure is.
It is in GWES.EXE and can be edited using a resource editor (google for Resource Hacker)
There are 16 bitmaps in the Bitmap section, running from 1024 to 1039 for QVGA and from 1040 to 1055 for VGA.
QVGA resolution in 32x32, VGA is 44x44
So change them with the resource editor and copy back GWES.EXE to
your device.
Cheers
thanks tweakradje

I think you need to extract it from a ROM.
the file gwes.exe does exist. i can see it if i´m in resco file explorer. but i can´t copy it. i always get an encryption error. and if i go through activsync i can´t see it. then i only see the one you see. with the 0409 on it.

Been looking into this for a while here, but have had no luck in WM5. I had this great Cartman eating Cheesy-Poofs animation in WM2003 that was so much fun.
Both "gwes.exe.0409.mui" and "gwes.exe" contain the icons that make up the animation for the busy/wait cursor.
Using Resource Hacker I made the change for those 16 icons in gwes.exe.0409.mui. Finally got it to overwrite the existing file in the /windows folder by creating a cab that replaced it after a restart. Unfortunately, even though the new file is now where the old one was, I'm still getting the old animation.
Did the same with gwes.exe using Resource Hacker, but for the life of me, I cannot find anyway of overwriting the file on my PPC. When I tried to overwrite by using the cab file install method, I get a message that says the install was unsuccessful because I didn't have permission to modify the file. I wish there were some way to overwrite the file while it was resetting, or even after a hard reset. I spent quite a bit of time trying to find a way to replace it via the Kitchen Rom avenue, but I couldn't do it.
Any ideas?
Hi,
You only need to replace \windows\gwes.exe.0409.mui in this case (rename the old one first) Then after a soft reset the new animation will show.
Mui must be activated though. Check
HKLM\MUI
Enable dword 0x1
Syslang dword 0x409
Cheers
Thanks tweakradje for the tip to rename gwes.exe.0409.mui first. I removed the read-only and system attributes, then renamed it to .old and it accepted that! Then copied my new file over, and I've got my Cartman back!! Wahooo!
Nice to hear. Can you share it here?
I am always interested.
Cheers

I did that and was able to replace the file with the new one checked the reg settings, I also removed the gwes.exe.0409.old file and I still get the old animation. am I missing something?
do I need to edit the gwes.exe file too?
Hi,
Check in your registry if the MUI values are present and that SysLang is set to 0x409. Of course the file must be in \windows.
No need to change gwes.exe if MUI is working.
Cheers

Please, how to rename the gwes.exe.040C.mui.
I try under explorer and Resco explore, I can't, when I change properties of files, it came back to system and read only.
Thx.

Seems that with my WM5 it does not want to work with the Reg OK and the MUI files changed. It is still going with the icons in GWES.EXE and I cannot copy it from my device to change those icons and EVEN if I could, I would have to copy it back!
Any ideas how to copy over my GWES.EXE?
Hi all,
I am able to make changes to a png file in my Touch's Windows dir and save to a different dir but when I try to overwrite the old png file with the new file I get an access denied error.
I've tried changing the files attributes so read only is unchecked but it doesn't stick.
I've even tried using Total Commander to delete the file but no go. I konw it's something simple as so many seem to edit png files all the time but I'm even simpler.
Searching the forums yielded a similar squestion but no good answer except modifying a registry key from Hive to File, whatever that means. Is this what I need to do?
thanks in advance for any help
icon cube
Hi,
Can you send me original icons of the cube (touchflo)?
Thanks

Usually the only time you can't overwrite a png file is if it's being used by the system. Try turning off whatever touch app your trying to replace the file for and then replace it.

thanks xeno1, that did the trick. I was trying to edit the touch's dialer background and quickdial.exe was running. Once I stopped the process I could overwrite the original background with the edited one.

No problem, glad I could help.
Hi guys,
Have saved several today screen themes but when I try to change the teme setting nothing happens. Any ideas why this may be? Any help or ideas much appreciated?
thanks.

Place the theme files in your "My Documents" folder on the phone.
With WM6 it no longer does this for you when you execute a .tsk file.

I've tried this, but still no joy. Used to be able to change theme no problem. Could I have deleted something by mistake when deleting other themes/plugins? I'm using WM5.

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

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?
Ok, I've found the cab that removes the top curtain. NoTopCurtain.cab removes it, and every search I did only lead me to threads asking the same with no solution...

I've seen the semi-transparent bars in peoples screenshots, would somebody care to tell me how this is done?
Get your device. ActiveSync it. Explore it. Find file 18c460d8_manila in Windows folder. Copy it to your PC. Save it to a folder somewhere.
Download Manila Editor. Select Path in Manila Editor > Point it to the folder you just saved the 18c460d8_manila file. You'll see a blank image listed in manila editor.
Export it and open it with your favourite gfx editing program. Edit it to a semi transparent colour. If I remember rightly it's a 2pixel wide (128 high) image that 'spans' across the screen.
Use manila editor to replace the file with your newly edited image. Then copy the 18c460d8_manila file back to your device in \Windows.
Wallah! All done. You can find everything you need via Searching and reading!
thanks
Thanks, I should be able to get it done
i have a 1864da05_manila .... but no 18c460d8_manila
your sure its in the windows directory? I have a juicy 2.5 telus cdma phone, could it be different?
This seems like too tedious of a process for me >.> Anyone wanna do that with their file and uploada their modified 18c460d8_manila file?

hi,
actually TF3D1 top curtain is different compared to TF3D2.1 : on the one hand you've got a 2px width repeated 240 times, on the other hand you've got a single block of 512px
