In help installing themes for a noob like me - HD2 General

Well as the title implies im kind of new to do this and I been having trouble intalling theme. I install the cab on my phone i dont know how to activate it. If anybody could help i would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

copy cab to your phone, (DONT extract it on the pc, the PC sees cab files as a type of zip, if you see 4 files with strange names, you extracted it,,, dont.) then open file manager on phone, browse to cab file, click to run it.

Thanks for replying but i actually did do that but it wont show the theme, is there something extra i have to do?

if it's home themes then once you have run the cab file, then go to your settings/ all settings/ home/ and you have to pick the theme from the list of choices/ press ok/ and then exit.

yeah i also did that, but t still wont show up. i installed over and over both on the phone and storage card memory, but it doesnt show up in the list of themes.

in that case now would probably be a good time for more info,,, what theme? are you running cookies? what rom?(are you aware that some mods only work on certain win / sense versions?)

Tmobile HD2 USA with cookie home tab editor
os version 5.2.21892(21892.5.0.89
manila-2.5.20121412.2
Rom- 2.13.531.1(90963)WWE
radio 2.10.50.26

i browsed through the forums and was trying to install these, among the few ( there was a glass theme from another thread dont remember)
I believe it was the dark crimson series among others. I tried almost all, didnt work.

If it's the dark crimson series that I've seen, that's for a previous version of WM (6.1). You'll need to make sure that any themes you choose specifically state they're designed for WM 6.5

Thanks everyone!! i got it to work and now its looking badass. I appreciate the help !!!!!

just Copy the files to your windows folder on the phone, but be Aware it overwrites the green skin
The red one is really nice, but too bad it doesnt change all the green colors. Would you be able to fix that too? (would be registry settings i guess...?)
Wrather thanks for creating those - glad to be a starter for this

If I may and can, can you please make one orange/goldish buttons so that it can be used with the Sprint theme, which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799
If difficult and time consuming, then don't mind the request. Tnx.
Too bad the OP did not found the solution to replace the remaining green back grounds. I used the Red skin for a time and was looking forward to find an update.
Hope Wrather will come back
Hi
How do you update the files in the windows folder, tried with file explorer but access was denied, probably because they are being used and could not see the window folder via active sync?
Help Please

How to install a theme?
Intall TF3D Config
1. Create a file named "theme" on your internal storage. Put the file xxxxxx.theme inside
2. Open TF3D config and go to the tab "Appearance"
3. Press "path" on the top of the screen.
4. Choose the folder where you have put the .theme file.
5. Choose your theme in the section just below the button "PATH"
6. Press APLY and OK.
7. let the PPC works and press OK when it's finished.
Soft reset.
I'll not answer to any more questions about the installation. Follow the instruction on the thread of the TF3D Config
Just tried both your new ones, and i have to say that this is my fave of the 2.
Good work buddy!
perfect ......
thanks for this Zitoun!

Awesome Work!
All of your themes are brilliant, but I like this one the best! One problem though, on my vzw touch pro, the theme installs fine and all looks perfect EXCEPT landscape. I don't get any of the icons on the right, just a blank spot. I've tried several different wallpapers with the same results.
Any ideas how I can correct this??
Again, your work is appreciated.
HI!
Sorry but the theme is for DIamond and doesn't worh in landscape mode on touch pro
If you know how to use manila editor, maybe try to make it...
can this work on hd manilla?

I'd have no idea where to start with the editor...anyway, I rarely use lscape so I'll probably keep it anyway.

once you have installed the TF3D config on your phone and you want to install a theme you have to unpack it(if it's still in a zip/rar) then there should be 2 files in it a png and theme, upload the folder with the 2 files in it on your phone, once done open the TF3D config in your phone, go to tab "appearance" push on the Path and locate the folder of the theme and then you have to push on the arrow under the Path, then push on Apply and it will install the theme, it takes a while... sorry for my lack of english language, hopefully you understand me
Greetings SpankZor

here is the link but i don't know if it works for fuze too, you can search in that thread or post a reply, i'm also just a beginner so can't help you much though, good luck anyways
i have the real touch pro
i have a touch pro on sprint and it the same phone as the fuze just go to the program file in the main or sd storage and delete the file named tweaks its only 4 the diamond and if left there it wont work on the touch pro
(fuze)

can anybody use these?

i found these high res icons on deviantart. they look freaking awesum but i have no idea how to place them on my hero to replace the default icons. anybody have a clue how to do it or maybe you can use them.
http://bharathp666.deviantart.com/art/Android-Icon-Templates-150559012
heres the zip of them too. i dunno if someone can make these so we can flash them or maybe make an apk file?
they are the 2.1 icons. if you go into the market and search android 2.1 you will find the icon pack. only hitch is you have to have bettercut to use them
I would like to see a rom cooked with these icons though as I like them better than the stock 1.5

gbhil's 1.6 AOSP ROM has them cooked in BTW... couldn't you just open the PSD files in Photoshop, save them as .png (or w/e they have to be), then add them in following the tutorial for skinning Fresh 1.1?

yeah you probably could im just really tired right now and being lazy but I will more than likely do it.
and I have tried that 1.6 build but im not a big ran of the vanilla roms
Same here, but they are actually nice once you install the HTC IME and push the Googlebits to it. I just wish I could get SMS working haha.

i would use gbhils 1.6 because I love the vanilla look so much more just i need bluetooth to work
well according to this thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/wallpapers-ringtones-themes/5231-icon-packs.html you can use that zip file and flash it like any other add on. i tried and got an error about google signing missing or something? i just wondered if anybody could look into it and maybe make something we can flash or even an apk we can install on our hero's? i really don't want a homescreen replacement as ive tried panda and didn't like it. i just want to change the icons up.
sorry guys im not trying to be a pain but like others i have my hero set up like i want but the only missing thing is changing the icons up. id try to make an apk or zip i can flash but i have no clue where to start and probably don't have time tonight to do it. the funny thing is in that link i posted "where i got the zip from" he says you can flash this but when i tried i got an error half way through.
plus the fact im new to the hero and im still learning this stuff.

just download bettercut and the android 2.0 icon pack if you want the easiest way to do it
If it needs to be signed, I'm pretty sure you can do that in Flipz's pre-kitchen. Once I finish my homework (high school ) I'll see if I can sign the .zip and then I'll upload it.

jus signing the zip isnt going to do anything as it is just an image file. for it to actually change the icons you would have to go into framwork-res on the rom you are useing change the icon pngs inside the correct apk. then add an update script and zip and sign it.

i don't know much, but in that zip contains all the png's already. i assume we would just have to make a script to execute the install? i dunno just a thought as im clueless about it.

yeah i installed open home full and the icon pack. WOW it looks like crap. icons are all distorted. i hope we can get this working , if not maybe ill go in and try to modify fresh 1.1 rom's icons myself tomorrow and reflash it.
well looks like im going to be up for awhile so maybe ill start work on the files.

7z is another compressed format, use 7zip to expand the file, or use winrar.

Hello, We understand that file is a compressed format but after to have expanded the file where do you copy them in "phone Memory"or "SD"???? Because no *cab in your Download;
yeah.. thats what i was talking about. no where see any cab file
good to hear, hopefully cabs will be released soon.
My Humble Apologies, I fixed the Post, Thats what I get for posting things in the wee hours of the morning half sleep. All fixed, Cab Upped.
I will be updating this post tonight again, few more new fixes and additions of features I found.
eager waiting for your update !!
i downloaded the .cab package. apparently it doesnt wan to isntall into my tp2. i got about 80mb of internal ROM space. but the application needed +-6mb. it juz said install unsuccessful.
Manila has to be disabled, and the messaging app has to be terminated from the task manager for it to install. I'll check the when I make the new cab before I put it up, just wokring out a few kinks that I dont want to see in there.
Stupid question but still a question: can we install this cab on Rom WinMo 6.5 Sense 2.5"french" ???

Yes you should be able to, but its in english so if you have your language set to french (Sorry dont know the lang code) it might not since the lang code is not 0409. I have seen sometimes manila get weirded out by a different lang code, but Always BACKUP your phone before attempting any install.
Sorry all I know I was to update te post, but still ironing the kinks out, main kink right now, too many spaces under the menu selection, its causing blank spaces, need to get rid of that unsightly look.
Thank a lot mate!!
Just for your own information the french code is: 040C
FYI to everyone, I will no longer be posting Cabs or EXTs with features, When I release new finds they will no longer be posted with links. All links will be thru PM, since it seems people like to steal work and claim it as their own.
All info on First post.
First off AWESOME work man, and sorry to hear that someones stealing off ur hard work. Heres hoping ur able to get that msg limit workign and finally il be able to use it without feeling like flinging my phone into a wall im no ifan ( ive been using htc phones since the imate magician aka the Imate Jam ) but whenever someone whips an iphone out and it just does whats its suposed to without being laggy i get a lil bit of envy , but then i think about how cool my phone is and how i can customize it to the nth degree and say F#[email protected] that HTC rocks!
Please could you adapt it for 040C (French language)
I can translate from English if needed
just to confirm : is it fixing the problem with many sms in conversation mode ?
(for your info : pyrorob can't answer to that question ! : just I don't know , try it )
PM me your answer and a link to all what is needed to be translated , please
this looks interesting... when's the next version due?
Still not able to install

Hi
I would really like this update as I am so tired of getting the "SMS sendt" message when sending SMS. I Have tried to install the cab you have attached after disabling Sense and also after via Task Manager/Services "messaging service" set Manual and then reset the device but I still get the message that the installation was unsuccessfully.
Could you please advice me on what to do to get this installation successfully?
What is the procedure for installation of the zip file?
Thanks in advance!
