Wait cursors for WM6

Here is a wait animation package for WM6 with 10 cursors and an install mortscript. Same animations used by Juryduty for his WM2003 cursors. I have 25 of these I've done, this package only contains 10 because they're kinda big.
EnJoy!

Nice! Thanks!

Will this work on WM5? is there a possibility to let this work or a same programm for WM5? please tell me..

Thank you! very nice!

didnt work well on my mogul. wouldn't uninstall, had to hard reset.

for WM5 try here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317476
this script will probably work for them, but you'd have to edit it if the resource name is different , and rename them 'filename.wait' then zip them to wait.zip.
the resource name for WM6 is 'shellres.96.dll' you'd have to find out about WM5 and make the corresponding changes in the script 'waitskins.mscr'.
As far as having to hard reset, did you mean soft reset? This sometimes happens to me randomly after installing a cab and can happen with any cab. I don't think it has anything to do with the cab, but more to do with the state of your device when you install it.
At any rate all this cab does is copy some files to 'programs\waitskins' (or 'storage card\programs\waitskins')and 2 shortcuts to windows\start menu\programs.
The script uses Mortscript4.01b12. It unzips the skins, copies the selected one, deletes the unzipped files, and tells you to do a soft reset. Thats it. Hardly anything to worry about.

it didnt work well with my very top bar in my today screen. after i installed the cab my clock, speaker icon, and signal icon were messed up. i couldnt change the icon back to the origanal wm6 after i changed it to one of the 10 you provided. after that i uninstalled and it wouldnt go back to the wm6 icon. i finally HARD reset my phone and had a fresh backup from earlier that day. no biggie, i may have installed wrong. i would like to get this to work, i may try again. thanx tho, Jody

The icons problem happens when the file hasn't been signed. I've signed all these and they work on my COOKED WM6 device. maybe your device doesn't like the certificate I used. I really don't know for sure.
When this happens you should be able to run the waitskins program, select CANCEL and this will delete any skins on your system, then a soft reset will get you back to the default thats built into your rom. then an uninstall.
Sorry about your hard reset...but since you just barely did it you might want to test this again and find out if the problem is with ALL of the skins, and weather or not the above tip saves you from another hard reset.
thanks for the feedback and if you test this any further please let me know what you find out.
Joeman

work for me (wizard wm6), but I can't change back to the original one , the cancel just change the cursor to the latest one.
It will be good if you attached more skin here.included the original one.
thank

thanks nice one

I would like to complain because I am an a$$. But I cannot, these are a great choice of icons. Anyone with WM6 aught to give it a try.
Great work!

Finally I tried these awhile back but would not work!! They are awesome! Thank you!

I found the original cursor here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1451996&postcount=37
& try to change name to "original.wait" then add to zip. after running it's work ,but have error at the top bar icon as oakwestplayer comment.
any comment

nice cursors, thanks
bit off topic, but that m & m dance looks more like "Cool Spot" to me
anyone remember the old megadrive/genesis game.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Spot

ong9:
Looks like the file needs to be signed.
Look for a tool in this forum called "multiple file signer' and use it to try to sign the file.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306982&highlight=multiple+file+signer
If the file signing failed then try to find the 'file Unsigner', and unsign it then sign it again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329160
This has worked for me.
The multiple file signer lets you choose from 3 different certificates, if one doesn't work try the other two.
If this doesn't work for you then I don't know what to tell you.
Good luck!
Joe
BTW Funy yes that IS cool spot, (LOL) I didn't even notice the .GIF name but in the package I've called him COOL SPOT! Guess that's why I've seen that animation with the color changed (green blue etc.). I don't even think it looks like the M&Ms (must be the sunglasses), that's probably why I didn't make the connection. Good eye!

Uninstall Modification From CAB File - Not In Remove Programs Listing

How do you uninstall a CAB file that is just a modification, but not a program, so it doesnt show up in the remove programs list...?
Specifically this one...
"battery_ou_081304.sa.cab"
I dont like how no matter what themse you have, it uses a blue background on the battery meter, so it conflicts with the default blue theme, which I like, but is darker, so the battery in the corner looks bad.
-connor

oh i figured it out....(for anyone else who searched and found this thread)
run same CAB file again, it will say it has to uninstall before it reinstalls, then it will ask where to install again, and you can just cancel at that point so it doesnt add it back.
cool - thanks me, lol.

Thanks for this info, I was looking for this.

"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.
Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?
Anybody know of such a program?
Or a really simple set of instructions.
I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.
Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?
Help... help... help...

Hi Jim,
I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)
I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.
I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.
I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.

Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?
...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.

when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.
Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.

For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.
Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

I just installed and my text messages dont work. any idea?

Installed great! thanx a lot.

Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?
Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.

diamond clock
So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.

Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.
IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.
Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.
I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.

[THE] Andys Halloween theme

Heres my first TF3D theme. I was going to change more of the icons/buttons etc but just didnt have the time....Feel free to make additions to it, you got a month left
If you dont know how to install .theme files search for tf3d config
btw, thx to NisseDILLIGAF for his blood lol

looks great man! i love the icons

Having trouble using this cool theme
I downloaded the file, I unzipped the file, I extracted the file to my PC. I use XP. I copied the extracted file to my phone's internal memory under Pictures and I can't see it when I look for it in my phone.
Also, I can't open it on my PC, it says it's not "a valid theme."
Any suggestions? Total NOOB question, I know, but that's what I am at this point with this phone.
Thanks! Ellen

You need to change the last part in the name halloween.zip to halloween.theme
And you also need this app TF3D config, to set it as your theme. You'll find it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
Everyone has been a noob in there lifetime

WOW....love this theme, nice little touches like the spider webs behind the program icons, little pumpkins on the favourite people, great icons, grave stones and all...well done...10/10

Glad you liked it

My wife loves this theme on her diamond!

HE HE.....last night I checked my weather and on the full moon clear sky image is now a small witch on a broomstick....brilliant theme....just so fun...

Wow. Maybe I'm just cursed but nothing is working. I changed the name of the file as you suggested, still nothing. Windows claims it is not a valid theme file.
Then I downloaded Diamond TF3D Config Setup v0.6.7.CAB per your advice above, and I can't find anything to open THAT file, either.
I had the Instinct prior to this phone and I am afraid the Diamond is waay over my head with regard to tweaks. I sure would like to come up to speed, though. I am using the Sprint issued Diamond with the burgundy flat back. If that makes any difference.
Can anyone help me with this? I want so much to be able to tailor this phone with cool themes, etc.
Thanks! Ellen

i love this theme very much thx for sharing

Absolutely kicks butt! Sprint Diamond users, delete tweak.xml from TF3D folder to make app work.

I love your Theme!
Odd, though, the last number on my clock flips back and forth from old format to new theme. What do you suppose could be causing that?

Changing from Vodafone theme?

I've been looking around to see if there's a stock HTC theme for the touch pro 2, as I've got the Vodafone one, which is annoyingly red.
Is there a cab out there somewhere to get ride of it, does anyone know?

This http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527644 is the best one that I have found so far but it does have some issues.
Is this the scottola from the dvd forums?

Thanks stunno, what issues are you finding?
I'd forgotten how flash happy I'd got with the Kaiser, it seems weird searching around again. Some of the tweaks on the site are incredibly clever, it's great here.
Yep, it's me from the dvd forums.
Talking of issues, I'm going to cry if I hit the off button once more by accident, I've got to find a different way to hold the phone when typing.

It looks like we are sorted!

and if you follow the weather location program instructions ie copy the manilla file to your SD card before you install this and then copy it back to thw windows folder afterwards, you don't get French place namse

Fantastic - works perfectly so far, thanks for linking to this!
I didn't do the thing to preserve English place names, and I've lost my shortcuts etc, but it's worth it - looks so much better!
Cheers!
EDIT: I've had issues with this, and now need to hard reset my device, as it won't start (gets stuck on Vodafone boot screen). This hapenned after installing this, then AnX1 Nature's Grace v1.0 over the top. This did not work, so I uninstalled both. I then tried to install this theme again (which failed near the end), and now the phone won't start, so I'll need to hard reset

I had an 'episode' this afternoon, too.
Somehow the start.exe reappeared in the task list on the home page and I accidentally clicked it. Manila hung as usual but then would not start at all, so I had to hard reset.
This time I installed the black theme first and am hoping for good things

Did you also install AnX1 Nature's Grace v1.0?

No I just installed the black theme that I linked to above.
Some of the fonts were a bit off on the AnX1 theme, so I thought I would wait until/if they were sorted.

2 days in and it's working perfectly!
After installing the black one from the Topaz secion I installed the Touch of Blue theme and it is spot on!
I think it must have been the cfc compression that was causing the problem

Hi, thanks for the info, I have just got a Vodafone one and the display is doing me in, my mates HD (unbranded) is what I am after!
Unfortunately what you posted (and other peoples links) are gobbledegook to me as I am an absolute beginner in this field.
I am not stupid, I am not lazy ( I have searched and read) but most TUT's assume you have a basic knowledge etc. I even downloaded a pack of utils to dump my own ROM as an experiment as a thread says 'this is what you need' but when I opened it I got a migrain as it was just a swarm of applications with no clear 'start'.
So what I am asking (nicely I hope) is that someone details step by step how to do what you have done, ie remove the shocking red/pink theme on my Vodafone Pro2 and get something like the stock colours on there.
I understand this is not a 'hard' fix just yet, but will try all the same.
Thanks.

EDIT: Ok I have installed it and it is workin great !! Only one problem, I could not see a 'manilla' folder in Windows to backup prior to install and so now I cannot set the UK in the weather section, anyone know how to get my UK location back please (i use the weather app a lot !)

I think you may have a French manila file. You need to look for Royaume Uni for United Kingdom
There isn't a Manila folder the files you needed to back up are the ones in the Windows folder with manila in the name and no extension
EDIT: I have attached my English weather manila file (or I hope I have), extract it to your windows directory with Total Commander and overwrite the one that is there, then soft reset

Thanks Stunno, you are a gent !
Last question for now (I hope!) I am struggling to overwrite the file using Total Commander, I assume there is a way to turn file protection/write only status off is there?
Thanks again, I do appreciate it.
EDIT: Sorted it , I renamed the old file, pasted in the new and rebooted. Your file was the right one, thank you !
See, I am learning already

Glad to be of help.
After all that's what this site is for!

I have a vodafone TP2 too the red theme is annoying but I'm growing to like the white background and light feel to the theme, there are two things i would change.
1. the red part of the theme, I think a black/grey glassy look against white would look amazing on such a high Res screen.
2. the notification bubbles that pop up over the TF3D icons for SMS and email are small dark red with red numbers and are almost invisible. Nedd to be changed.
Is there an app or instructions for creating a new full theme for TF3D ??
I used to skin a lot of today screens and launchers on previous devices WM and Palm, haven't done it for a while but would like to have a crack at a new one for my TP2

Ooh, I hadn't realised as I didn't use Facebook on my phone before I changed the theme.
I'll have to do some research
EDIT: Have you looked at Skybook?

Not ideal I suppose but better than nothing, and better than the garish VF theme!

for those who are only annoyed by the message counter bubble (pretty hard to read black text on dark red background!), there is a fix here:

Cheers for the 'dot'. I too have actually got quite weirdly fond of the vodafone rom after complaining about it to begin with.
I've changed the themes, etc and ended up changing back again, the only other thing I'd like to change is the bar that pops up when you are changing between favourite contacts. Black on red just doesn't work.
I'm assuming now that it's possible to change in the same way the 'red dot' is changed. Maybe it's time I stopped scratching the surface and got stuck in!

I've been using Max TTM (TF3D Theme Maker) to get rid of the Vodafone theme, only thing I can't change is the black text colour on all the screens (except home) which means you have to pick a lighter wallpaper to be able to see sms and the settings screens.
