Start/Settings/Today/Items to turn off TF3D.
You might like :
- Sense (with a cooked ROM).
- SPB Mobile Shell

Sry if I'm slow but I've tried everything. I have downloaded a lots og themes installed them but they don't show up on the Today/Items. I have downloaded Diamond TF3D Config but that didn't work either. Could you explain exactly how to but the new theme on?

Hi,
I've the same problem. I've done exactly the same things (Diamond TF3D config, themes,). I know how activate/desactivate TF3D but I can't use another theme than the standards one (those of my Phone Operator). It never works. So i'm very interested in the response...

htc home customizer not working

Hi,
I've installed HTC Home customizer v1.0 beta 5 but when trying to run it I get an error, IndexOutOfRangeException for homecust.exe
has anyone managed to get this working on the original ROM?
and yes I did do a soft reset after the installation
I think that you have to install a newer version of HTC Home. HTC Home Customizer does not work with default HTC Home.
1. Remove HTC_Home_PPC_Blue from Remove programs if is there. If not, go to step 2.
2. Install sdkcerts.cab
3. Install Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab
4. Install Backlight bug fix.cab
5. Install HHCv10b5.cab
Download HTC Home plugin fix pack
Thanks panosha !
What is new in the kaiser home compared to the polaris one? If i dont want to change the look of the plugin, is the upgrade needed/adviced?
Thanks! Finally it works
Thanks Panosha,
Having spent some fruitless hours on trying to get the customizer working, it really works now!

Original SPB Shell theme for SamSung I780 + Realvga

Hi all,
Is there anyone who has the original theme of the SPB Mobile shell working on a Samsung i780 (320x320 resolution) in combination with realvga? So with the original icons and layout.
I use now the one that was mentioned in the old thread 'SPB Mobile Shell 2.1 + i780 + RealVGA' but I hate the icons and basically just want to use the original theme which doesn't work out of the box on 96 dpi...
I hope anyone can help me with this I would be extremly thankfull for that ;-)
Regards,
Nico...

Hi Nico, just saw this thread. My apologies for not responding earlier. In regards to your question, you will need to uninstall spb ms2.1 first. Using total commander or resco file explorer, make sure that everything in the spb mobile shell directory is wipe clean.
As per the original thread, follow the instructions closely to re-install spb ms 2.1 again.
You have to make sure that spb ms 2.1 is installed in 128dpi mode.
After installation, run it under spb ms 2.1 to test out the program. It should run smoothly.
Run RealVGA again and set to 96dpi.
Soft reset.
Unzip the attached file and place it in spb folder to replace the qa_layouts.dat
Finally run spb at 96 dpi. The screen should be aligned to 320x320 now and all icons should be stock.
Hope this helps and let me know if you faces any problems.
Hi g00ndu,
first of all you don't have to apology, I am already extremly thankfull that you are willing to put some time and effort in it to help me with this, that is much appreciated!
The dat file you provided does work indeed to get me the old icons back thanks for that. However, if it is possible, could you also make the dat file so that it also restores the pinned icons on the top? So the default SPB theme layout? That is the only thing I am missing now.
Also I have just another small question, when I read the original post in the past I had difficulties to get it to work (pressing the SPB shell link just didn't do anything) I noticed on other forums that more people had this issue. After a while I noticed that you mentioned version 2.1. I did manange to find an installation file of this version on the internet, however the reason that I had issues in the past was that when you download the cab file from the SPB website you get version 2.1.1 and that doesn't work with the work instruction you provided. I do not have a special need for this new version if it is too difficult but do you have any idea why it doesn't work with the 2.1.1 version and would it be possible to get this dat file you will create to work with that version as well?
Anyway thanks again already for your great help.
Kind Regards,
Nico...
Let's take this via Private Message. We do not want to clutter this forum. I will PM you now.
Apologies to the mod, but there is no other way which I can attach the file for Nico.
@Nico,
Please use the attached file and check if it works. You should have the 12 pinning icons with 6 program icons in your launcher.
If there is some messed up icons, I apologise as I did not have the means to debug. Possibly you can upload to imageshack and link it over here.
If it works fine, just pm me.

How do i change the o2 ignito theme to the original HTC diamond theme

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.
This Morining...
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 =]

Sorry about my English.
I have the HTC Diamond with the theme of Orange. This is a ROM version 1.93. Unfortunately, I can not go back to the original TF3d. Maybe someone knows how to change themes? Thanks to greet
INSTALL THIS PROGRAM...AND YOU CAN DO WHAT YOU NEED
Your English seems not to be the problem. Bold text end using !!!!!! is.
If we all would post threads like this it would be a complete mess. Please pay attention to this on future posts
I have installed Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7, unfortunately, from 1.93 ROM this program does not work. It can be any other solution?
try disable tf3d from home, use config 0.6.7. to restore original theme, re-enable tf3d... i have 1.93rom and works.

Was the Orange theme there when you bought the phone?
if it was u can't 'go back' to original TF3D!
If It was the original TF3D when you bought the phone try this...
Download Total Commander (phone edition, not computer one)
disable TF3D..
run Toatal Commander and search for *_manila...
when it's done searching mark all files and delete!
don't worry ... if u have original shipped ROM then the original manila files will be there after the delete...
restart TF3D (maybe softreset)

Manila Vesion

Hi
I can't find my manila version.
I know that i have to go, in touch flo 3d navigate to the Settings tab, and scroll down to ABOUT. But the "about" button take me to the Opera Browser: file://localhost/windows/manila_about.html , and there is nothing to know about the version.
Thanks

What ROM are you running? It would be the manila version native to your ROM.

That ROM came stock with manila 2.1, not sure what the build# is though
So my Manila Bruce, probably is the 2.1..
Right?
Yes, it would have to be.
Once again Bruce Inman, thanks.
I have oyher question, and sorry if it's a silly one but I really don't know the solution!
I looked for Manila 2.1 themes, and it was difficult to find some of them, but i found one that it was nice ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563451 ), i downloaded the "Boost Manila 2.1.zip ", installed the .cab file but and nothing! I mean, it wasn't at the Today opcion in the Settings tab..
I don't know what am I doing wrong, if the file that I downloaded was not the best one, if it's not correct one for my HTC..
Sorry for bad english!
Thanks for the help

First, the file you downloaded was for the Diamond, not the TD2, therefore it is incompatable.
Second, go here to post 5. These are the different versions of the Manila theme. There are many because each new build of Manila tweaks the home layout, so they are always slightly different.
Lastly, remember Max Manila is a Manila theme, not a windows theme, so next you need to find a windows theme if you want to. I use Dusk themes because I like the black bars. Dusk themes are ROM build dependent so look for your build number, if you don't see it, use the newest build available. This is the one that loads to your Today Settings and you must select it to display. There are also Dusk Clocks and Taskbar icons in that thread as well.
If you scoll through the Topaz Themes and Apps threads, you will find more themes and most will have full instructions on how to install.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the help, for all the time you expended.
I'm scared now, when i started to look for themes, i never thought that could be so dificult!
I'll try!
