Here's a quick cab file I made to change the default Blue theme on touch cube to RED, I will post cab files for green, yellow theme etc..
Just install then do a SR for the change to take effect, if you don't like it un-install SR to go back to Blue
*Please Note: this is only been tested on Touch Dual aka Niki on Orange UK ROM and HTCAsia WEE ROM may not work on other ROM or devices.
anybody have try this
Not working on Polaris... but thanks anyway, bye
Hi gfreek, I have tried on my touch dual (as named in HK), not so smooth using with the cube, and sometimes display hidden file names. Removed it at last. But thanks anyway.
in my HK Traditional Chinese version of Touch Dual, all Red*.brn and Red*.png required by the cube are already available in ROM. this means changing to Red color scheme is as easy as modifying the ColorSkin reg key value from "Blue" to "Red". I also noticed availability of some Green*.brn but seems the set is incomplete.
maybe some brothers from other locations can check whether they have \Windows\Red*.brn (e.g. RedA0.brn) on their devices.
I´ve tried this CAB, but it´s not working on my Dual, in fact it messed up my Cube, had to remove it...
pp18 I have in my touch the files you mentioned, how do you put your cube with red theme?

simply edit this registry key:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\ColorSkin]
"Color" = "Red"
(original value is "Blue")
after all, i found that there are more files named Blue*.brn/png than Red*.brn/png. there is possibility that certain built-in HTC application may have "missing skin" problem after changing to "Red" color scheme. yet, at least on my device all *.brn needed by the cube are there.
you can read this thread for more info about these image files

Spot on pp18! if all the Red*.brn files are not present in the Windows directory it will NOT work so it is ROM dependent however, I have tested this hack on both Orange UK ROM and now my present HTCAsia WEE ROM it works on both!
HTCzar what ROM is your touch dual?

yours is a HK version? do you have the CSL 4-sided cube or the standard 3-sided one? the trick gfreek made should not work on CSL 4-sided one, as there are red-scheme images for only 3 sides in the ROM.
I have an HTC Touch Dual TMN Portuguese ROM.
The change in registry key didn´t work in my HTC Dual, the Cube is still Blue
Can you post the files needed for this change?
It's work.

Okay i'm a complete newbie to all this stuff.. and have tried reading through several posts but i really don't get what to do because theres too many different things to do! i just want the phone to not have the o2 layout and instead that nice black layout... without the phone going really slow (because i've read when you change the theme everything gets slow? )
much help would be appreciated! i.e. what i need to download and how i install it...
thanks a lot guys
to change the theme to black you need to change 2 things -
1. the windows mobile theme (a .tsk file) to complete black (either you have it on your phone, or search for it, or say, i'll post it)
and
2. the touchflo3d theme. for that you need to install tf3d config on your phone (you'll find one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749 ) and download a black theme (.theme file) or any other you want, e.g. from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901 or you can just search the forums for more themes...
but i understand your desperation, the o2 theme (i have german o2) really is ugly
umm i would be greatful if you could upload the windows black theme
and also how do i install these things? like what steps do i take...? do i use a program...? and where do i put the config file.. the theme file.. and windows mobile theme etc... i'm soo clueless
and so if i do all these... it'll look like the original HTC diamond and not the crap o2 layout?
thanks a lot in advance
I have done this to my Ignito and it slows it down a bit. But ha its better than the poo o2 put on it. o2 have always F****D up good HTC phones by putting rubbish software or themes on them. God knows what makes them do it.

see post #2
-the windows .tsk theme (attached) you put in the windows folder on your device and change the theme in start->settings->today (on first tab)->htc black (newly added)->ok
-the tf3d config tool needed to change the theme - put the .cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=102057&d=1217092240) anywhere on the device and run it from there to install
-to install tf3d theme, follow instructions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2428664&postcount=1 (the black theme is also in that post)
I agree about O2 ROMs - buggy as hell and slow too. I flashed my Artemis with the original HTC ROM and it went from a crash a day to no crashes in a year. I'm now looking at the HTC Diamond too - or the O2 ignitus at least (O2 describe this on their website as a phone manufactured by O2!) - has anybody laoded the HTC ROM over the O2 one, and are there any guides to follow?

If you have loaded a a original htc rom on you artemis then this is pretty much the same. there are hundreds of guides. Install hard spl and then flash using ruu. and about the ignito being manufactured by O2 i dont know but it is the diamond DIAM100 and yes i have tried my self to flash 1 and works with no problems. for guides go to rom development section and check the stickies.

I sat and looked at my XDA ignito and thought 'wow that looks crap and tacky' and within 25 mins it looks awesome. thanks for the posts My phone is now black and sexy =]

Any idea why the playlist / artist / album etc. tabs have gone from music player after this process ?
*edit, tried another tf3d (think it was tlr.manilla)
got me tabs back but start menu is blue ! all else fine though
Any ideas, looked and looked and searched ...

heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.
Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.
heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.
thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?
No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.
Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......
And the article:

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.
Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it
sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.
okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.
Hello, I bought on the german e-bay a mobile device called Acer neotouch s200, which is in german language without other languages like english, etc... I have read that if I want to get english language, I need to (re)flash it. Currently, the device has S200_3.003c.00_DE ROM. I do not know exactly if it is better to get the default ROM or the newest. To flash it, I downloaded Acer S200 beta 3 flashing tool, ran Acer_EUU.exe, but it stopped before updating the device (this was made on my desktop computer with Windows XP). I also tried it on my laptop with Windows 7, but the Acer_EUU.exe "stopped working". Can you please give me any advice how to solve my problem? I read it is better to get the default ROM, because it reduce the battery status, but it has got bugs.
Thank you

Dear Stress Analyst,
Thanks for your helpful advice. The problem has been solved. For the benefit of those who run into the same problem, here is what I did (I am summarizing this from memory, so I may miss a few things):
- I downloaded a file called "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar". The size is 162,841,490 bytes.
- I unzipped the contents of the .rar file into a folder.
- I put the S200 in bootloader mode by pressing and holding the camera and power buttons, while pressing the reset button with the stylus. The LED started flashing red. I connected the S200 to my Windows XP SP3 desktop, and it caused the Acer HS-USB driver to be installed.
- In the aforementioned folder, I ran “Acer_Euu.exe”, and was led through a series of windows. Just click, click, click ...
- When flashed, the Arto ROM was nice and interesting on my pda, but a bit too funky for a middle-age man like me. So I decided to install the Acer update instead.
- I unzipped file “OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip” and ran file EUU_Acer_S200_3.003c.01_EN_02_03.03.08_3.003c.00_2 0100202.exe
- After flashing the updated Acer ROM, I checked the version number, which was CE OS 5.2.21883 (Build 21883.5.0.783). The earlier version was Build 21857.5.0.66. The new version seems to run faster than the old version. Here is what I think were the problems with the older version 21857.5.0.66:
- The old firmware does not do a Clean Boot very well.
- The old firmwave has problems connecting to the Acer update.
Arto's ROM overcame these two problems, which meant that I can use it as a temporary bridge to the updated Acer ROM.
Unquote..
You can try the newest Arto's rom on the 2nd thread below yours.

How can I change ROM Acer neoTouch S200

and the utility tells me SKU_incompatible .
I have in registry EN language by default.
Does anyone knows what is wrong with it?
Yes, for this "3.003c.00_EN_01" rom you should have language set ton EN_01 in your registry. ;-]
.....................
Just use your favorite registry editor and go to HKLM\ControlPanel\ACER\SystemInfo\Software
You'll find two keys: ExtROMVer and Language
For each key, Change your language occurence to "EN_01".
guys, do you really think that I am an idiot? I know all these steps, but I CANNOT connect the device to my laptops & PC
btw, can u copy here a DL link for "Arto's Sense rom 2.1 (3.003c, 23554, 2012).rar" ? Cannot find it
cmooon fellaz
Can you get into bootloader mode?
Version 2.1 is just the latest version during the creation of the thread. You can download other versions here.
http://www.almostunreal.org/arto/
Try follow up on this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642654&page=258
Get machine into bootloader mode, Red led flashing. Key sequence:
Camera + Volume down + Reset
Previous key sequence won't work for me. (Camera+Power+Reset)
Finally I flashed my device using the Arto's Sense rom, but now the device is really slow and some options are restricted. I also cannot change the display settings, so it is sometimes bright and sometimes dark. G-Sensor does not work, phone lags a lil bit. Is there any way how to get the DEFAULT stock firmware (with english language of course)? I copied the downloaded firmware from ftp: ftp.acer-euro (the oldest) to directory called Acer beta flashing tool where is also included Acer_EUU.exe and other stuff for flashing... and flashed it. After flash the welcome screen says I have the old firmware, but there is the same theme like before and the OS version did not change. I thought the newest, cooked firmware is very good & fast and works without any problems but this really sux. imho the default will be definitely the best :>
Thanks for any advice
Download this official rom here.

Check the Arto rom version and change your register to EN_02 before flashing the new rom.

bry4nnn,
First of all, you have followed bad/wrong advice from an idiot who quoted an old post about arto's sense "2.1" when in reality, sense roms and s200 rom developement in general has far surpassed 2.1 and acer stock firmware!!!!
according to your first post you already had the latest "stock" firmware w/3.003c drivers so all you needed to do was flash one of the many "clean roms" labled "WWE".
Second, the S200 will always have bugs because of WM6.5 that's why cooked roms are made to overcome most of the limitations of our device!! Inchu though
wrong about almost everything was right about one thing,"READ BEFORE YOU START A NEW THREAD" because right beneath your post is an entire universe of
info,roms,flashing info and all things s200!!! including one labled "Arto's sense 4.0" if you bothered to look you would find a change log with a chronological listing of Arto's sense from 1.0,1.1,etc...
My advice for you would be to delete all of your downloaded EUU's and beta tools and start over by simply downloading one of brainmaster's roms either
"WWE Clean" or "WWE Manila Clean 1.1" or any of the many he has cooked
for our device.

ehm, your file is called "Name: OS_Acer_3.003c.01.EN.02_WM65_A.zip " which refers to a newer firmware, right? Anyway, i have to repeat myself: "I need default stock firmware, the oldest with EN" (and in my opinion it is probably called 2.003, yy?)

Then you are clearly in the wrong place because this is the "Neotouch S200 Rom Development" section not Acer.com (http://www.acer.com/worldwide/support/download.htm which is where all things "official" or"stock" can be found!!!
And you are so wrong about the custom roms here they are light years ahead of the bug filled original acer rom!!!
But since you have only tried an older version custom rom still in development (as the change log indicates) and decided that all custom roms are buggy w/out having tried them then maybe you deserve the original acer firmware!
custom roms are made to correct problems in the stock firmware.

And why the **** are u spamming here in this thread (now)? I wanted to get stock FW, not an advice about slow_buggy_custom_rom, cyao
I belong here, been here almost from the start of this forum and know a hell of a

Not to mention, insulting the work of the very people you ask to help you're
sorry - wannabe - know-it-all ass will surely never get answers!!!!!
Any ideas how to get the default stock fw like it is here - http://tinyurl.com/5s5ocmh ?
I had it before with unsuitable languange (fw version was 3.003c). Now I want the same, just with english. If I use the fimwares from acer webpage then I have the same theme (& and the display is still dark, cannot change some options, etc..)
PROBLEM SOLVED
Arto made for me this stock firmware (3.003c.01.EN.02)

Hello every one.
First of all happy new year and may all your wishes come true.
Then lest start:
3+ years ago i bought the blackstone. now about 1+ year i have the galaxy s2.
I gave the blackstone to my mother sow she could only buy a simonly contract.

tho this rom is good looking its is full with bugs. when my mother is calling some one the mobile wil crash after?30+ sec and reboot.
it give rong battery values(precentage) and the smoothness is too low is laggy. I have orderd a new battery 1500mha but the rom is bothering me.
i dont know if the rom is overclocking the proccesor or not.
i want to instal a tiny rom witch have all the functions the mobile has to offer. and is smooth like hell.
if there isnt any could you plz give me the most recent offical firmware?
i dont want the landscape mode in it...<it will alwys fail!
its a long time ago that i have flashed the rom also.... and i dont have the htc software...
if some one could suggest me a basic rom and a short explanation how to install the custom firmware i would be very happy.
i cant remember some things...there is a keycombo to a rgb screen witch i dont know...
there shoud be drivers that you have to manualy assing to when you are in rgb mode? (dont have the drivers)
and the install program witch would be with the rom suggested.
ps. sorry for breaking the rules but the most active people are here and this wil be the fastes way to get some help.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
downloaded the 72 mb file hope thats the right one...
see a new program pagepool?
for wath is this? (make your phone run more graphical programs?)
cant edit the rom tho....
Default I set a pagepool (16MB Manila ROM) which is enough for most of the flashers.
If you want you can increase/decrease the value. It is a sort of RAM cache for frequent used files.
