How to get back the original TF3D Backgrounds

Hi guys
I used a modification to get backgrounds in all tabs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
In the beginning everything seemed fine until I saw something strange in some undertabs like for exemple the tab, where you can see all the installed programs (this long list with the white background).
Now on my phone the background is white in this section, but not entirely. In the upper part of the screen there is like a bar in the background in which you can see the background witch is installed in all other tabs. Dont know how to explain.
Best would be to send you an image of it but how? How can I make a image of the phone?
Hope someone knows how to reset the background to default or to solve my problem. Perhaps someone could post here the original manila files (at least the 5c9aa261_manila and 4a087e41_manila ones).
edit: when I delete the file "4a087e41_manila" I get all tab backgrounds white. Perhaps its a good hint for the solution.
Thanks in advance.

There is always the hard reset option which definitely would bring it back.

Hehe, yes I know, but like you already figured out it is the last option for me
I first want to know if there is a quicker (peerhaps also harder) way to get it right.
Only for curiosity: How is the hard reset performed on the Touch HD?

Should have made a backup before installing anything new .if u dun like sumthing that cannot be simply removed from remove program list than a hard reset and restore always work..i learnt that the hard way though

Well in fact I did make a backup of the 5c9aa261_manila file. The problem is, that also when I replace the file with the original one the problem arises. And when I delete the 4a087e41_manila file (which is not part of the original system, only needed when using the modified 5c9aa261_manila file) then I get all white backgrounds, like mentioned above.
Couldnt someone post the original 5c9aa261_manila file here? (only people who didnt do changes of backgrounds til now). Would be great.

AFAIK that really doesn't matter, since it does not depend on any language pack and is the same for all language versions.

Oh and while I am at it I might as well help you out LOL
Here it is, 5c9aa261_manila, it's from the WWE rom... haven't changed a single _manila file yet, and the ROM is still stock... So I guess it is 100% identical to what you had on there before switching background mode.
Also ALWAYS keep a copy of ALL _manila files before using manila customizer...
Have fun!

It would help, cos I also own the german rom (due I live in switzerland ) so if you possibly could send it to me, I would appreciate it! Thx!

I used the manila file of nin2thevoid. Did work for me to get back the backgrounds!
Thanks to nin2thevoid and also to you the offered help!
Btw. you will find the file in the windows folder on your device (not SDcard).

I also had to restore the black background. Expecially in the music tab i could not read all the tracks and it was annoying. Still... it was nice to have a background in a certain tab. Is there possible, for example to have a background in "home" and the same (or another) in "weather"?

all i did was delete the 4a087e41_manila file and the modified 5c9aa261_manila file, and then the ROM version of 5c9aa261_manila reappeared. I then soft reset my HD and i had the original background file again.

UPDATE: 26/10/2009 Titanium For WM6.5 (Beta) & Menu-Style (Classic Blue)

UPDATE: 26/10/2009 Firstly I would like to apologise for the lack of updates but I have had a very busy last few weeks both personally anred professionally.
I have now completely rewritten the .cpr file to be better suited to our phones and although you may not find it exactly the same as the original Titanium, I think its a good effort and a good match. Again this is a BETA release, so everything may not be perfect. I am also working on being able to change between Titanium and Sliding Panels, but I don't when I can complete that. Thank you to all those who have already downloaded.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After having downloaded ALEUT's new 6.5 rom last nite, I started to work on a few things. So far I have made Titanium work for 176x220 screens, but please remember this is a very early alpha and has been ported from a 240x320 .cpr file, and I am continuing to work to make it work properly.
The second thing is that ALEUT's 6.5 Menu Style was a bit green for my liking, so I decided to make a blue one instead and thought it would be nice to share it.
I've been a long time reader and user of XDA, but rarely have posted my works. Hope someone might find them useful.

Dear neodoughnut
its really nice theme but there is a problem in this theme after fresh installation when i install it it works fine but when i install something eles any app then after restart there is no more that themes remain in my Spv c500 i tried again and again but same problem?

Luckylips: I'm sorry to hear that you are encountering this problem. I've installed most of my regular apps since having installed the MenuStyle but haven't had any problems so far. Is there any app in particular that causes this or is just anything that install?

Well i don't think there is any particular app ! whatever i install and after that when i reboot my cell theme is no more!!

Is there any plugins that can be used for this titanium? I mean, weather, launcher, or etc?

Fix

No more Homescreen available... :-(
Hello,
I seem to have the same problem with the Titanium theme. I installed it and once I reboot, no more Home Screen can be found.
About the new files from the fix? Where do I have to put them? \Application\Home ? Is there a way i can edit a file to get back to the normal homescreen? I really do not want to reset my phone to defaults.
I hope somebody can help me out here.
Thanks

@oolinger

but the main problem of this cab is cpr file u shold use this cpr

With the new .cpr you gave on desktop appears the message:
"The layout you have selected cannot be loaded...please use...."

ugh... what's with the CAPS? anyway, they're all uninstallable despite what you think. all you have to do is manually delete the files you copied and the originals will reappear. once you've deleted the files you copied, then soft reset. if that fails, then there is the HardReset method... good luck

Sorry its habbit lol yeah i understand that, but i'm not knowledgeable enough to know what manila files i have replaced in the first place, i assume that the globe picture is controlled by one or two manila files and someone who knows what there talking about would be able to provide me with the orignal unmodifed version of the files, i think maybe a hard reset is a bit drastic as i like my current rom lol thankyou for your help anyway, i'll just have to live with it lol

loading old wallpaper after new rom?

i was using the blue marble wallpaper but after running the sprint upgrade it can no longer see the theme. i keep trying to install it but it never comes up in the list. i believe i may have downloaded it from the hd section but it worked fine until the upgrade. are there specific wallpapers needed to work with the new rom's software?

hi, do you mean it is in a cab made using HD walls?? if so then yes it can depend on what rom you have to if it works as there are many options in the making process. can you apply "normal" wallpapers ok?

Ok i just looked back after i remembered i asked the sae question a while back, this solution from Andrew, worked for me but you will need the original wallpaper from which the cab was made. You could extract the wall paper from the cab using Quick cab-which is free

Hi Andrew, may i ask, what file you are using for background for all on this Rom? or will the HDwall do this? Also offTopic but which config in HD wall did you use to create this?
Cheers
Hi osrix25
Easy: Install "HQWallpaperPatch_v1.22_forManila2.5.19222xxx. cab" which is attached to post #2123 of this thread. N.B. This will make your Sense 2.5 incompatible with Co0kieMonster's new home tab MOD (leads to square by clock bug). Once you've installed this patch you can then install a HDWall cab. Here's how I made it:
Make sure you're using HDWall 2.8b. Choose the profile: "HTC Sense v2.5 & WM6.5 - No Compression", then use the "Convert" button to create the manila files from your image. Next, change the profile to: "HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression" and convert to manila files as before. When making the .cab file, ensure you include all the manila and image files you have used when converting using both profiles.
If that doesn't work, use the profiles in the opposite order. The only limitation of HDWall at the moment is that for this version of Sense 2.5 it can only use the same image when skinning both the landscape and portrait images. This may be a limitation of Sense 2.5.2011.3030 - more research is needed I think.
To skin the lock screen and start menu backgrounds make WVGA portrait and landscape .jpg files of your image and then rename them:
Portrait: "stwater_480_800.jpg"
Landscape: "stwater_800_480.jpg"
Copy these two .jpg files to \Windows and restart the device.
Hope that's helpful.
Cheers

Are these the ones you wanted to use?

Pls help! Sth wrong with my phone.

recently, i havent been able to install themes downloaded from this forum successfully.
One of the theme i tried is anastasia and dinik theme. My whole clock is missing! icons missing on my home page. My slider( home page) cant moved. The only thing on my home page now is the weather. Now there is 'Title' word on the middle of my home page permanently too. somehow bits of my old theme is on my home page as well. Which weird because i deleted the old theme thru Device>Windows>Appmgr.
This happened before when i used another theme.clock, icon missing.
And now my phone doesnt go to lock screen anymore. I didnt change the settings at all.
My rom version is 1.48.
Pls help i've been having this prob for weeks alrdy. Thanks!

back up and hard reset would be my suggestion.

Oh no! Would u tell what caused this prob ? so that i wont repeat the same mistake again.
And hard reset-> my phone contacts gone too? how do i back up?
sorry for the trouble thanks.

you have probably installed a theme/tweak or mod that is incompatible with the version of either manila or windows that your device is running.

tons of methods to back up.personally all I do is sync my contacts with outlook.thats all I back up.
PHP:

But why doesnt my phone theme not return to the original theme even if i delete the downloaded theme?
Why is that even if i deleted a downloaded icon file or theme, it still remains in the display on my phone page?
sry asking so many qns.

When you install new mods and themes it quite often overwrites the existing files that you would consider the "original theme". So uninstalling does not bring the old files back - it just deletes the new ones.
As samsamuel says, a hard reset is probably your best bet.
Incidentally, whenever your lockscreen doesn't appear when you lock the phone, or when you can't open emails by clicking the preview in the email tab, go to start and then lock (bottom left menu option). That fixes that problem temporarily. The only permanent fix I know for that is a ROM upgrade, as 1.48 is oooooooooold now!
Kill 2 birds with 1 stone and just flash a new ROM.

it could be that the theme is badly written and just overwrites files that then cannot be restored, or the theme wasn't for your system so it's messed the registry, who knows? not me!

Oh. Thanks alot guys!
your help is greatly appreciated!
