Im working on some stuff for my phone, bottom curtain and slider and such!
and i was sondering, since i want a light slider (see attachment)
if someone could help me out finding/sending me the original touchflow 3d 2 icon manila files for the active icon! cuz i want to make that darker so it looks better, since i cant find any other custom icons that rly looks that good and i cant seem to find the manila files, and those icon manila files i find doesnt change all the icons like in all people tabs and such, so i rather just use the original icons
ahwell would be awesome if someone could help me out. since i just started to theme WM 6.5/touchflo
and yeah perhaps if someone could help me out maybe with the clock, how to find the right files!
cheers
Hi Everyone,
Been going through the threads and really love the work everyone has done to make these devices look great. I'm finally started to customize my device to truly make it my own and had about 2 questions regarding programs and themes.
1) I downloaded the S2U2 program that was posted in a clean-up cab (thank you GoodThings2Life and A_C) and my home screen in Touch Flo has as one of the buttons saying lock on it. When I click on that it locks the phone and clicking unlock brings up the stock unlock screen.
How do I change that to S2U2 so when I click on it the Slide to Unlock feature comes up?
2) I love the look of the bottom icons that some people have and would like to change mine to something else a little less obtrusive. What exactly is that bar (tab?) called so I can do a search for them? I'm just looking for the set and not a whole theme since I'm happy with the theme/background on there now.
I also just wanted to say thank you to Cobbs for some of his great wallpapers and At0mAng for the Black Bars cab.
Thank you very much for your help with these questions.
Since installing the Professional V2 theme, which I really like, I have lost the transparent slider. All I have is an opaque slider now. The screen below shows it where the home button should be.
I've tried installing additional sliders to get it back, but no luck and I've asked on the theme thread.
Can anyone help?
Looks like a transparent slider problem.
I had the same problem when using Energy's Rom and installing the dusk theme on it. I had to install a cab fix from that thread.
I'm not sure if it'll help you or screw your theme up since it's not the same as dusk. If it does i already apologize since im a noob when it comes to theme's
Here is the Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585072
Look at Post 2 and in there you'll find an attached file called "Dusk_Manila_2.1_Transparant_Slider.CAB".
Maybe that could solve your problem.
That's perfect. Thank you for your help.
I am really having a hard time with getting a glass slider and transparent weather clock for tmobile wm 6.5. I am a noob to htc and wm.
I currently just installed wm 6.5 rom from tmobile (us). I was able to get bg4all and no curtains to work, but my slider is a lil offset to the icon.
All i really want to customize is a glass slider and transparent weather clock. I have searched so many sites and forums and a lot of the cabs do not work for me.
Please if you have suggestions or fixes let me know.
I have also noticed that many customizations no longer work on the recently released T-Mobile 6.5 upgrade. It is frustrating and time-consuming to determine what works and what will force you to hard-reset your device. There is a thread dedicated to TP2 apps, however, they are not presented in a way that sorts them with regards to carrier/ROM/compatability. It is unfortunate that T-Mobile's customizations create these issues, but I don't know of an easy solution. Perhaps after more people have upgraded to T-Mobile's 6.5 some modified customizations will begin to appear, or workoarounds will be discovered.

seattle rat: i hear ya!
ctbear: i tried that thread as well. When i install cab nothing happens even with a soft reset.
See if you like it. It is White Metal 2.5 2013 for a 6.5 build. Tell me what you think.
Also including a different contact icon if you want it. Not necessarry but a different style in case you do not like the contact tab with the human outline.
I am running mighty rom Windows 6.5 with Manila 2.5.2013
I was not happy with the centering of the Calendar date on the tray icon-so I included a cab with the fix.
Facebook Tab. You must already have the tab in order to use this. I installed it from Meltwaters and then alterred his manila for tabs
lubbad85, you are my hero! I have been looking for this everywhere. I don't know why but for some reason I've liked this style of slider ever since I've seen it on another carrier's phone.
I installed it asap and I like how it works! It works like a charm, I love it. Great job lubbad85, you rock! The only thing I would probably do is just better the screen icons when you change to a different tab on the slider. Those stock white ones will do but I would just see if I could replace them with any other better icons. Just my personal opinion. Other than that, you created a beautiful slider!
Quick question, I'm running C0okie's Home Tab. How does that extra notification bar appear? (The one on top of the actual sider)

In the options for cookies home tab you can put the extra notification bar. I think under miscelaneous The bar is a bit redundant though.
Glad you like the slider. Give me an example of what kind of slider you really want. If you give me a direction I can build one. Manila is very forgiving. If you screw it up you have only to delete the manila file that you put into windows and the phone's ROM will build it back the way it was before the new manila was used.

I've been looking around in C0okie's Home Tab for the past 40 minutes and I believe I've gone through the whole editor twice and I still cannot find the setting which enables the extra notification bar. I feel like a noob or just looking for something that isn't there. I'm running v1.8.5.

I got it! Thank, yet again! As far as the slider goes, it works like a charm! I really don't have any other suggestions for it as of right now. Maybe later as time goes by and I think of something. But if you implement any improvements or make any changes to it please post it up, I will gladly test it out. Thank again!
lubbad85, I found a small little defect that you might consider. When I slide to a desired tab on my touch flo, I find that the tab icon I chose has a blurry icon. It looks like as if there is another lighter icon behind the primary icon. It's just a little annoying and tends to cross my eyes after a while. lol. Check it out in the attachment to understand what I'm talking about.
Nice work bro! Would you consider adding icons for Facebook and Call History tabs please?

I found this slider skin very pretty and charming! Is it OK to cook this skin into rom? I'm developing roms for myself, but somehow the xda community convinced me to upload them to public xD

I like that idea. I have been running a Mighty Rom. But I will try yours when you get done cooking.

My ROMs won't be updated before August if someone doesn't find some critical bugs
This slider really fits the "old" Sense 2.5 skin, however it has got some images that could be a bit more polished... Ach, and some icons could be a little re-sized, because they aren't this same size. Anyway overall the experience is great! So keep up this wonderful work, first time that I like something that isn't made by ShowTime7.
right.

Thanks lubbad85, you're the man! Your work is greatly appreciated.
Hi there, I downloaded and installed the theme, but I dont know how to change the theme, i hate to ask but how exactly do I apply the theme? I tried Star->Settings->Today, but the theme is not on the list of available themes.
Thanks for your patience, I've only had the phone for a week or so.

You're going to run the .cab file from your storage card and install it onto your device when prompted to. Immediately after the slider is installed it is going to ask you to restart so the changes can take effect. You hit "yes" or "ok" (Not sure which option it gives you) Then, once the device restarts and turns on, the slider will appear and should be already installed automatically. You shouldn't have to do any other additional setting changes after you restart so the slider takes effect.
Hmm I installed all 3 cabs and it just told me "white metal 2.5 2013.cab was successfully installed on your device" (same thing with the other 2) but it didn't prompt me if I wanted to restart the device.
Any ideas why? this blue at&t theme is ok but this B&W Metal theme looks amazing.
Thanks
turn off sense

Hello again lubbad85!
Could you do me a little favor and add a facebook icon too? The meltwaters work is really impressive!
Just the sense tab

You just want the sense tab-in other words you already installed the other files neccessary for the tab? So just the tab icons?
If so here is the cab for just the tab sense icons in white to match the set. I cannot test it since I have not installed the control files for this tab.
