First, you need a Theme Generator. I've attached ThemeGenCEv1.6. It's the one I use.
For a tutorial, see this link http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2006/08/themegence-tips-from-newbie2.html#115492290659903785

Windows Vista Portable Edition VGA 1.1 .. WHERE IS IT ?

Hey Guys..
I just got my HTC Advantage X7501, and I flashed teh room to Pawel's one.. I'm really enjoying it so far. I just bought WA2 and WAD and I was really looking forward to putting the Windows Vista Portable Edition VGA 1.1 theme on my athena, because a while ago I saw people who had it, and it looked so epic. Well, I just found out by doing a quick google search that all of these themes were removed. Now I'm really bummed because I really wanted to see my Athena running this sort of thing.
If anyone still has it on their pc, or can point me towards a link that I can find it at, it would be greatly appreciated. You can email me the info at [email protected] or send me a PM via XDA Forums if you feel you need to address me through those methods.
Once again Thank You for all your contributions. I am sure I am not the only person searching for this theme, so the person helping me, would also be helping a lot of people.. THANKS.

Hey whaddup,
I have it, but I'm not sure how to get it to you. I dont want to get into any legal "BS" over it. Is it okay if I email it to you? Or can a file like this be PM?
Let me know.....but I'm more than willing to share!!!

I am pretty sure you can upload it to somewhere like rapidshare or megaupload, or I think you might be able to email it to me.
Thanks so much.
Edit: Actually you can just attach it to a post, at very bottom when you are replying to someone, it says attach. I think that might do teh trick !!
THANKS

will do. first thing tomorrow tho.
peace

Thanks man, I and probably a lot of forum members appreciate it.

my humble apologies to everyone. i had a major examine in class yesterday and it completely slipped my mind. on my way home right now....give me about one and half hour.
I will send it to the author of the thread and upload...if i can figure it out.
my apologies again!

Okay....I tried to email and upload this file. Its too big. 23mb. What else can i do? I dont know how to do the whole rapidshare thing. Willing to learn though!!

Post it on the forums, when you reply to the thread, there is an option to attach a file. You shoudl see it when you click post reply. Should be next to attachments or something like that.

Yeah, that is what I tried to do. But the file is so big, it canceled out and told me to contact the administration. This was after 10mins of waiting to attach.
Any other options?

I also tried to email it to you and it was to heavy as well!! Um stuck

I also tried to email it to you and it was to heavy as well!! Um stuck

Ok !
Thanks for all the hard work. I think I have an idea.
Goto http://rapidshare.com/
On the page, you browse for the file and press OK, and click upload, I think that is pretty straightforward. When you're done, you can copy and paste the link either here on the forums, or you can just email it to me.
Thanks again for everything !

not got that file anymore but this is worth a read.

Hey Man !
Thanks for contributing to the thread.
That link was very helpful and I am sure will help me much when playing around with the theme.
Thanks.

http://rapidshare.com/files/88499060/Xcil_Windows_Vista.zip.html
Here we go. Now I know how to rapidshare.
I will break the link in three days. By then, everyone who requested should have it.
Peace
BTW....this skin was created by the legendary Xcilion. May the artist resurface again with an even more impressive theme!!!!

I hope everyone has download this. Those that request it. Please post by 10am central standard if you need more time, I'm willing to postpone just a little. I'm going to kill the link at that time.
Reason for: I know the artist/skinner who created this was asked to discontinue it by Microsoft. Why? I have know idea!! So I dont want to get into any mess with this.
Other else....I would leave it up here for good.
Thanks for your understanding!!!!
Kenjari

Is there another posting?
I would like to snag it too, but it looks like it is getting more scarce because of Microtrust's involvement.
Thx,
C

Can I get rid of just the top curtain?

I found a cab to remove top and bottom curtain and I liked the look but in the music player on touchflo when you click on library you cant see the other icons which are white on white with no bottom curtain.
So I need a fix for that or a cab for no top curtain only.
Thanks

here ya go.

Thanks, that was very helpful, Just what I needed to know. I will keep these apps handy for when I eventually get a new device with TF3D (unless there is something new and better around of course when the time comes ... )

Very good point - I'm surprised that I didn't think of saying this myself; however, he may have not known who developed it in which case he should not have even posted it without passing it by one of the Mod's first to make sure it wasn't Warez or something (unless he did in which case he should have given credit or just posted a link. Thankfully it wasn't. Anyways, he wasn't asking for donations for the app or anything and we all know now where the app came from thanks to above post.
By the way, the above post (up a few anyways) which shows where the app originated from is a great thread for TF3D users. WOW.

oh yes NisseDILLIGAF is very good, I have been using his things for a while now.

What are all the cool things you can do

Once you root your phone.. I'm newly rooted and would like to start playing. I've flashed a few roms so I got that part down, but what apps or programs or tricks are cool on a rooted nexus one?
WHAT YALL DO WITH YOUR ROOTED N1.

Here's one cool thing, its called..
Searching ^.^

I don't wanna start a new thread for another question, but Is there a swype type keyboard for android.? I swear I saw one before but can find it...

I did. Thanks bro. Search here and ppcgeeks sucks...
That's the number one response I hate... search... lmaooo.
Trust me I'd rather do that then wait for someone to answer with a smart ass answer like that..
Oh and I'm doing this from my phone and the search is being weird..

There is, I'm using it, and it's way past beta.
Search the forums, there's a thread about it, and on a last page some nice dude posted a link to a post-beta Swype for N1. It's 100% working for me.

Oh trust me, its better that I've said than the 1000 other people who are/were going to say it. I thought to myself "I'm never going to be the one who tells others to search", but because even I have seen the question asked so many times.. guess it was one of the things that I thought should've been done first.

Themes, overclocking, extra RAM, deleting system apps, installing root required apps (such as Nexus Tourch) trackball colors, updates before everyone else (extra RAM, etc.), installing different Android Phones per-se (Desire).. lots of stuff ;/

For me, one of the best things after rooting is actually wifi tethering.

Like I said, I can't search because I'm on my n1. When I go to type in search, the search bar vanishes

i keep seeing all these requests for apps like swype and what not...

everyone whos asking for these .cabs for swype, facebook tabs for sense and so on should take a trip over to the ROM Development forum. most of the things people are asking for in these posts are already cooked into the roms. they tend to run a lot better than the stock roms and have updates coming out on a weekly basis. my personal favorite is the Energy series hence my signature but i suggest that you guys check all of them out you never know what youll like.

Not everyone likes to flash roms , and not all roms have every little cab you require in them, hence asking for them and theres no central place for them all either
And unless im mistaken, i also use an energy rom, but swype is not built into that!

Yes, but all people would have to do is search. I have also seen a lot of posts requesting it.. and if people would take a look at the stickied thread they'll find it in the second post.

What What Not? Sounds like a cool app.

That's funny. Swype is built into my Energy ROM. Don't know which one you're using... It also has a nice HTC skin on it.

im sure not all of the links dont work, there has to be .cabs themselves posted somewhere out there. i dont usually respond to repeats of requests because theres tons of those threads out there but i guess i will for now on because a number of apps that are or were on this site are saved to either my sd card or computer

Asking for, or posting links or files for Swype is now considered warez on XDA. Do a search elsewhere as it now earns you vacation time from the mods.
