I like the phone, but i think it really needs some adjustements.
what im looking for is:
-a way to change the background while using tf3
-a way to change the icons on the top bar (as ive seen in some pics)
-a way to change stuff on the today screen
-any app that improves how the phone looks/feels
if someone could help me out either with a very easy guide or link i would appriciate it, but keep in mind that ive tried sick many hours and failed. so its gotta be easy..
100d reward if im allowed to offer that.
hang on here a minute. can you explain this a bit more clearly.
1. background, are you wanting to change just the first tab or all tabs?
2. Topbar, Are you wanting 1 already made or to do this yourself? for already made just visit the themes and apps forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474 but i would recommend this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520132. If you want to make your own the guide is here http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=588802
3. The today screen is easy just go in to the today settings!!
4. Look and feel, HD Tweak is very good and found that this does work to improve the feel. I would also recommend a custom ROM for the final touch. Dutty is the man to see for these as far as i'm concerned.
-I would like a background for all tabs.
-Want 1 already made, probably wont be able to make 1 myself.
-Is it that simple? like I was thinking about some drastic changes like removing the calendar thing. anyway its not as imprtant as background and the bar.
HD Tweak is the 1 app i currently have, im also very happy with it.
what is a custom ROM? and is it easy to install etc?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=474 look at the Dusk themes, some good clocks on there.
also check out Max TF3D theme maker as well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011
Here's something for those who are perhaps coming over from the iPhone. You'll probably be more at ease with your device!
By the way, for the record, I just made this for fun, thinking that there are people who actually appreciates this sort of theme. I use my other theme more regularly. Please don't flame me with Apple-fanboy comments!
Note: This cab does not include the taskbar, and 1% battery driver. You may find them at the links provided. Credit to Chainfire, InsecureSpike
Instructions:
1. Install cab
2. At the soft-reset prompt, tap cancel.
3. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Disable and re-enable TF3D. Back to normal.
Meh, You make great stuff dude..
I use your V1.4 TF3D.. btw I'm curious about something..
Shouldn't the "Mail" and "Messages" icon be replaced with one another ?
Seems like the (a) is more suited for E-mail.. xD
Ha! I like your V1.4 TF3D more..... iphone icons?? Don't think so.... that is the reason why I bought my TP2... and not putting iphone stuff on my TP2.
Btw... Awesome work!!!

Well, I'll say this. I'm not a huge fan of the Messages icon I chose to use. I just haven't been able to find one that feels like "the one". Anyway, have a look at the other thread. I've made a poll to see what everyone thinks...

That's exactly how I feel too!
Still trying myself to get this theme thing down, Still getting all kinds of white blotches on my screen which is pissing me off but good work on the apple theme although I do hate apple still looks nice.
Wow, no love for this theme...
The download count must have set some sort of record low for most unpopular theme or something.
Don't things too hard! I love parts of your other theme, elements of that I am using on my own theme for the communications and settings tab.
Since this thread is a bit quieter, could you answer a couple of questions?
I've been using Manila Editor v.0.2 to build my theme, which is a bit trial and error since most of the manilla files are listed as unknown (eg, the program doesn't know what icon they represent) but does give you a preview of the file and allows you to change it. What do you use?
What is the correct protocol for posting a theme containing elements from others work? EG my theme would have your communications, settings (and dammit, more fiddling, now the volume part of settings! But thanks for the effort.) Should I ask each person if it's ok for me to share, post but with credits and links to the original theme or what?
Thankyou for going the extra mile on your themes and customising parts that others haven't. It really makes a difference when the phone doesn't just go back to the standard look once you leave the main pages.
Hey Steve, thanks for the consolation, I feel much better...haha!
Now, regarding your queries...
I've used Manila Editor before...back in the days when I was first bought my Touch Diamond and people were just starting to figure out how to edit manila files. But I've always found it really difficult to use and (like you said?) a lot of the files are categorized as "unknown". All in all, this app is pretty outdated and I don't believe it's being developed anymore.
I use Chainfire's great tool, CFC-GUI. Try it out. It should be quite easy to figure out for you.
I don't know if there's even a protocol (per se) in place for creating themes containing parts of other user's themes. I suppose it's ok if all authors are happy with it. I'll be perfectly happy with you just linking back to my theme's thread.
very good,wo like it!!!
Here are some Clock cabs I made for the new Hero style Manila 2.5! One will give you clear flip panels and a blue tinted background with white letters! The other black flip pannels with white letters and a green tinted background! I noticed there are not many mods for the new Manila 2.5 so I wanted to get some started! Enjoy friends!
thanx looks good
Great stuff. Thanks
Hmm can't seem to get this to work.
Doesn't work on my tp2. why?
Hi ppl...
@ Cal-El,
Nice job man... But for my EnergyRom I wanted a mix of both of your clocks.
So I've downloaded them (and joined forces ) and came up with a new variant that fits really well with the rom colours. Check it out! Once again thank you.
BTW, I have an Xperia X1.
outta curiousity how did you combine them, i like the look that you achieved, any chance of making a cab for it or explaining how to join forces lol thanks

Hi VETTE, sorry for the late answer...
I'll provide the clock for sure and try to explain for you, it's no big deal.
First I gathered the two cabs, then extract them with WinCE cab manager and then used manila editor to see wich files belonged to wich part of the clock.
So I wanted the blue background (there is a file just for that) and all the rest, black number background and everything else, from the green one. I just copied the files from the green clock and the file for the blue background to windows directory and it's done.
Never forget to disable HTC Sense before doing anything, also make sure the attribute files checked in the properties are "archive", "read only" and "system" before copying them to windows dir. And last but the most important, make backups of the files, we never know what can go wrong.
Cheers.

This is slightly off topic, but how do you get the calendar part under the clock to actually give upcoming appointments instead of saying the word "calendar"? Also, is there a way to add tasks to the home tab?
Thanks!

I have seen a number of threads where vodafone users are wanting to change from the horrible red TF3D that vodafone deceided to 'brand' the phone with including myself. I have looked into the various ones on offer and imho, they don't quite cut it for me.
So, I am after the standard OEM TF3D that HTC put out that will also change the colours of the switches in the comm managers and all the the 'tick boxes'
I am offering £100 for this, but everything must work flawlessly and must be inline with my version of TF3D.
So stats for my phone are;
ROM - 1.14.161.6 (Build 50207) WWE
ROM Date - 23/06/09
Radio - 3.44.25.27
Protocol - 61.25t.25.19U
TF3D - 2.1.38158.2
If you need a copy of my ROM to help, it can be downloaded directly from Vodafone HERE
If there is anythingelse you need let me know
(MODS, if this is in the wrong place, apologies, please move)
I know it's only been a few days but, am I asking for the impossible? Would have thought someone might have been interested in £100 or the equivilent in dollars or whatever currency.
Okay.. I'll bite. It'll require some work, but it's doable. If I'm understanding this right, you want to overwrite the manila already on your phone right ? Or do you want this stock HTC manila in a custom rom ? Or... do you want me to recook the vodaphone rom with a stock Manila ?!

Thanks for taking up the challenge!
Definitely want to overwrite the manila on the phone, don't think there's any need to recook the vodafone rom unless you think this would be a better way of doing things. Although admittedly, wanted to do it *.cab file method as it's easier to return the phone to stock (well, it is for me!)
Just wanted to be very specific on the manila version as I don't want to have to fiddle and mess around with weather tabs in the wrong langauge, only have the touch focus colours changing etc. Also want to ensure that the facebook integration works all ok, and things like when veiwing the calendar in the day view, touching the arrow buttom returns to the month view and not going back to home screen. also want to have very specific items on the start menu to.
am i missing something here ?? ... why not put a clean, stock HTC ROM on your phone ?
I've got a branded voda and played with the various cabs floating about to de-brand it and none of them worked 100%
But now HARDspl is out why bother ?

That's a fair point, but I have had bad experiences before with flashing roms and it's not something that I want to do right now. I am happy with the voda rom, just not it's tf3d and if what I want done is done properly theen there should be no issues.
ok , fair enough mate , horses for courses i suppose.
If someone re-cooks the branded rom though, you're still gonna need HARDspl and a flash.
Doubt a .cab will cut it 100%
simple to Cab, but will take away a lot of memory, since that file to overwrite take them memory... but if this is what you want!
EDIT: Give me 20 minutes and have the cab!
Hello, then this is what all manila, menu enchantement, comm manager, and all the reg keys to make the original colors HTC ... Let's see if I earn £ 100

at least give news of how it works!

Doesn't quite work properly in that my TF3D has black text which would need to be white - makes it impossible to read. Besides, I must give NRGZ28 a fair crack of the whip as he offered his services first.

ah ok! problem are the registry keys, now I can work from home right! I did the pc work very fast ... I did not understand what you have to give NRGZ28, but it does not matter, what interested me was just manila and all selections for the text of my forgetfulness, because he had a white background and black writing, now is the opposite. I just have to insert a key in the cab!
otherwise works well? let me know!
EDIT:
Keep cab new track: CAB
cab only for the white lettering: CAB
honestly mate, save all your dicking about... HARDspl , instal NRGZ28's new WinMo 6.5 manilla 2.1 ROM See it here , and throw him a few quid via a donation. Have a personal recommendation from me.
You can get the voda stock ROM from here if you ever need it : http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk/ and the SPL is also re-lockable
will be a lot more clean and stable with a new ROM, what else is holding you back ?

The "OMG, I can't believe this actually worked on my T-Mobile USA HD2!" Discussion.
So, quite recently on Twitter, I've been informing my followers of things I've tried, managed to accomplish, and/or various ideas on tweaks that I'd like to attempt in the future.
Now, with that in mind...
I'd like to present this thread as an open-discussion topic, to further the common knowledge of everyday users and "1337 h4xz0Rz" alike.
Please, feel free to share a "success story" of something you've managed to make possible on your HD2. Whether it be a registry tweak, theme, custom ROM, or various modifications... be sure to offer as much detailed information as you can, allowing other users to perhaps share in the same experiences.
More-or-less, this is where TESTS, TRIAL-RUNS, and COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS will meet in terms of what CAN and simply CANNOT be done... SAFELY on our devices.
hmm well it wasn't very "1337" but I was pretty happy that I could edit the registry to make TouchTwit blink the LED when I get mentions/msgs.

1) Open registry editor
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
3) There will be a lot of GUID entry folders. Find the one that corresponds to the notification you want to alter. When you open the folder, the (Default) value, if set, is the name of the notification that corresponds to the control panel value.
4) Change AvailableOptions from 11 to 15
5) Hit start->settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifcations
6) Scroll to the notification type you just changed (for me, "TouchTwit: Mentions")
7) The box "flash light for [x]" will no longer be greyed out
Great find. Definitely worth mentioning. This is the kind of stuff we need on here. Thanks for the submission.
reignzone- I would like to know if it is possible to increase the vibe alert intensity on the TmoUS HD2? I did a search and was not able to find anything. I switched from a Razr V3 which had a strong vibe alert. Also, I successfully flashed to HSPL2 and just waiting for a stock rom to flash new rom. Thanks
Can anyone walk me through dumping my stock TmoUS rom so I can post it here which will provide everyone a way to revert to shipped rom?

Well, in terms of vibration intensity... that is usually application specific. The system vibration alerts cannot really be tampered with as far as I know. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. There are applications, "modded" applications that provide various system tweaks that can alter the vibration... but not too many of them are focused on something so "simple" as vibrating alerts.
As for a system dump, that would be excellent. Post in a few other threads in this area, and I'm sure you'll find people that would be glad to assist you in providing that for us all.

i installed dusk theme on my tmous hd2 seems to be working fine. i think it even fixed a problem i've been having since day one where it doesnt come back from sleep. so far haven't had to soft restart. i also installed a few other files from the uk version and they seemed to work ok. also all the registy tweaks work fine.

Good stuff guys. Again, thanks for additional feedback.
As for Dusk, yes... I've taken quite a few bits and pieces from that theme and used it on my STOCK build. For instance, the retractable slider themed with Dusk features.
I'm so glad we're finally moving this T-Mobile USA forum along now, it needs more attention from the EURO threads.

That's pretty sweet man, pretty sweet. How'd you manage that?
I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I just installed and tested quite literally, every transparent home tab slider from the guys at PPCMods.
And needless to say, each one of them worked, flawlessly. Also, they all look just gorgeous. But after testing "the look" of most all of them... I fell in love with the Colorful Stickers icons. Simple, HUGE, and great design.
Finally, the clock fonts are phenomenal as well... check those out too.

Pretty simple - just get the HTC Networking add-on or (I use) Resco Explorer & its network client. Wi-fi up, point it to a file share with your creds, et voila! I find TCPMP and/or Core Player to be tops for viewing.
