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.

-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 =]
music player
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 ...
o2 xda - 1.93 stock rom - tf3d config 0.67
Hey guys I am looking for someone to make this custom theme for my touch hd. I had it on my touch cruise with m2d but I need it work on my Touch HD with Manila TouchFLO 3d 2.1.38158.2. You can find the original zip at the thread below. I think that the only icon that is not already made would be the stock tab.
Thanks,
turcomora

does any one know how to change the theme on the touch pro 2 for tmobile..?
Are you talking about changing the theme to another one already installed on the phone? If so, you go to Start>Settings>Home>Appearance. I don't have a TMob branded TP2, so I don't know what themes are pre-installed.
Or are you talking about installing a brand new (custom) theme? There are a few on this forum intended especially for the TP2, if you page through it. Make sure they are compatible with the version of Sense/Manila that you have. They typically install as a .cab file.

There are also some custom themes in the non-device specific Windows Mobile forum. But you have to be more careful about compatibility with your device, screen resolution (TP2 is WVGA), as well as version of Sense also.

There is a Theme over in the Desire HD forums which is 'supposed' to work for us as well but i have tried again and again to make it work with different roms (both 1.7x and 1.8x base) but it doesnt apply and the theme stays the default
It is also available for the HD2 in a cooked rom.
Can someone else make this theme work for us as well? Its very sexy and cool
