What kind of program will i need?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
and want to use the skins in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425974
Can i do this om my diamond 2?
If not can someone please tell this newbey how i can change my skins on the htc diamond 2
Thank you so much
hi,
no you can't because the skins you pointed out are for TF2D (manila2D) only.
Nevertheless it's possible to change the skin : choose TF3D2.1 skins for your Diam2
The best is to install themes cabs : copy the cab to your ppc then click on it with your explorer (total commander by example) to install it and soft reset (reboot)
Well thank you very much for your reply!
I typt tf3d2.1 in the search field here on the site but i did not find any files.
Can you point me in the right direction? where can i find that kind of themes?
Thank you again
hi,
First of all your Diam2 (topaz) is WVGA (480x800px screen) so you have to verify in thread title if the theme is really made for WVGA screens.
Second, your UI is called TF3D2.1 (or manila 2.1) here on XDA : that means you can install full themes made for TF3D2.1 or icons only (from bottom bar) made for TF3D (the first diamond or Blackstone). The best is to try different themes because there is no general rules : some icons sets will work but others won't
The last version TF3D2.5 from LEO device (manila2.5) won't work with your Diam2 stock rom.
there are different ways to get skins for your Diam2 :
- into the dedicated Topaz section : HERE (this one was made especially for your Diam2 so all the stuffs you'll find into this section will work on your Diam2)
- Into general dev&hack section you have the windows themes : HERE
(this is general section so all the themes in this section won't work : verify WVGA TF3D2.1)
- the most important skins databases for TF3D are for Diamond1 (HERE) & HD-Blackstone section (HERE) (because they are older than your D2)
By example, these ones should work on your Diam2 :
- Snoopy
(choose WVGA, don't install VGA or manila2.5 cabs)
- Dusk for manila2.1
- Coquette
- Vector
- my TF3D icons HERE
BTW skins & themes are mentioned by [SKN] or [THE] for a better readability in thread title
One last thing : never install a theme cab on a previous one, always remove old theme cab before installing a new one ^^
Hi thank you again for your reply you made me a happy woman haha
Tonight (its 10 a.m. here) i gonna to install your black icons on my diamond 2
You made what was gibberish for me a normal language thank you so much
I really liked your black vi.7 icons. I downloaded the file and i am gonna install it tonight!
I let you know if it worked! and i am gonna add a thanks on your thread ofcourse
Can i also instal the v2.2 icons? i liked those evenmore
Yes, all my SenseLIKE TF3D icons work with TF3D1/TF3D2.1
well i got something strange it does not fully work on my diamond
How i installed it..
i installed the cab on my memory card. then i installed the program and turned my telephone off and on.. and i tryed to soft reset it.
Is this the right way to install it?
The problem is that the first icon stays in color and the pictures of the icons do not fully fit in the icons. you can not see the full icon.
Do you have the new TF3D2.1 Sense (weather clock) ?
uhmm i have windows 6.5 with the newest rom update from the htc website. the rom update that change the colors the icons. And i do have the weather clock.
oh and maybe good to know.. i have diamond tweak installed on my phone
cant see to get the m mobiler working 2 :s
got the mobiler working but the front is not fully showing.. i hope you got the idea..
you can see the top of the icons
i attatched a print screen
it seems like the icons are to big for the slide bar
hi,
thanks for the screenshot : I can see your issue now ^^
thanks again! gonna try it tonight..
Hope it works!
Ill let you know
yes i worked
Looks so nice!!!
Thank you so much!
Now im gonna try to figure out if i can change that green color that you see in the phone. that little green ball wich tell you how much emails you got and in the organizer.. really dont like the green color..
Well anyway you helped me solve my problem with the colored icons!!
Many many thanks
if you know the answer to my question can you tell me how :$
All most afraid to ask haha you helpt me already so much..
hi,
Well, for Email bubble notification, the most important collection to my knowledge is the one made by CMYLXGO at PPCGeeks : HERE
To change green highlights to blue you can take a look at DJCedric or Henk2484 BlueHighlights

based on the "white manila theme v2"
thx yours are very nice too
can we get a rehost
Wow, looks very very nice. Great job. Installing it right now...
It works perfectly. But I don't like the white screens on all the tabs and I prefer the normal font on the clock. Can you make one with the original black screens on all the tabs and normal font on the clock? Then my diamond would be perfect.
yes its possible. i'm finishing others themes for the moment. but i'll post all my works on this trhead

Ok thanx man. Another question. The 1.93 ROM doesn't have the animated screens anymore when you switch between tabs. I noticed that your theme did have the animated screens. Is your theme based on the 1.37 Manila ? I really like the animated screens, so it would be nice if you let them in place.....
Is is also possible to relocate the date to the original location at the top left corner ? I use the complete date format like wednesday 20 august 2008. Now it's just a blank spot there...
hi Zitoun..
great work...
Really nice job man
HI there
Very nice. Couple of things.
1. Can you put the date on top of the clock instead of bottom. Top looks empty. I installed Weekday cab and it only shows ( ,2008 wednesday), no date.
2. Can you change the colour of the selected tab at the bottom bar from black to some lighter colour. You can not really see the beautiful icons at the bottom.
3. Any way to round up the cornors of the selected tab at the bottom.
Other than that everything is very kool, specially the graphics in the middle of the screen, when changing the bottom tabs.
Keep up the good work!!!!!!!
how must i install this it isnt a cab file ?? please explain more and can you make this i black too thanks for sharing it

It is a zipfile,open it and you find 3 wallpapers and 1 .theme file
You need a program named DIAMOND TF3D CONFIG, you can find it in this forum using search. then make a folder called THEMES on your internal storage and place the .theme file there. open the config program and go to appearance, select the path where the themes are and then open them and press APPLY and then START. thats it
i have don what you say butt nothing is happend ?? i download the DIAMOND TF3D CONFIG and i apply it an start t again butt i dont see anyithing ?? can you axplain pl.

That looks very nice. But I miss the original icons from the theme in your first post. Also, in the theme that you've already posted, there are some nice very tine things, like the red triangle on the first tab to scroll to the appointment screen. Also the red square around the envelopes on the mail items. I like that. It''s better than the original green.
Yes sure!
I'm only a beginer in the world of customization! So I'm discovering how to do this step by step. that's why those themes are considered as beta version.
There's over 1000 files in the manila edition, so i have to look for what they do... one by one...
I hope i'll be abble to make an entire custom theme as soon as possible.
As i saied in my last post, i'm working with a french ROM cooker to make a very special theme inclued in this next ROM.
salut zitoun tu fais vraiment du bon boulot la je vais prendre ton theme en blanc et j'attend avec impatience ton theme black
bon courage

Go to start -> Settings -> Today and select the "Htc black" .tsk
(if it is already selected, choose an other first [e.g.Windows-standard] and switch then back)
Note: Because I still do NOT own a Diamond PRO myself, supporting this Device isn't easy...
the background is much better, but its going to be tough getting rid of my sprint theme.
eehm... Not really the original...
or maybe htc stole my background image squares!!

Hi!
Whats your TF3D Config version number what you use with 1.93 ROM??
Thx!
Not suitable for Raphael yet.
Thanks for the good work.
I installed it over my T-Mobile (horrific Pink theme) MDA Vario IV and looks good. Exept for the landscape screen when the keyboard is slided open. Then the orginal icons are not there at all. Perhaps something for the next update. Thanks in advance.
I noticed the same thing on my Voda branded TP. But the black theme looks absolutely brilliant. I am not going back to the original red ever.
I'm trying to modify my theme on the new 1.93 Rom from the US 3G version Diamond... I'm using Total Commander to try to modify the read only permission sets of the Manilla files so I can write over them. However it doesn't seem to be working. Are there other programs available? Trying to update to use NisseDILLIGAF background
you have to disable Touch Flo first, then just copy the manila file to windows using total commander

Thanks,
Seemed all I had to do was select a different theme, then reselect the htc theme......BINGO.... phone looks fantastic. I am now going to see what other things I am incapable of doing. I know that I will have further questions, and that I am a bit of a techno-cretin, but I hope you guys will continue to help. This is a great forum by the way, very helpful indeed.
Can someone please tell me where I can find themes for a raph? (HTC Touch Pro) I imagine the diamonds themes would work but I don't even know how to install those.
Thanks guys.
did I miss something?
I guess you missed these stickies on top of this forum:
"[APP] Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [15 May] New Version"
"[REF][Updated 5/6]Customizing TF3D - The Collection!"
And just in case you don't know, there is a Raphael forum for software and TF3D themes.
Didn't see the TF3d themes but I saw those other threads and I don't see any instructions on how to get the themes to work on the phone?
awe man I installed that manilla.cab file and now my tf3d flow thing wont start with my phone. I have a black blank screen now wtf Someone help please. I cant figure out how to take it off to see if that will fix it.
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?

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.

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.

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 !
