These themes work with every providers release of the TP2/Rhodium in one easy .cab install GSM or CDMA It fixs any clock to a flip clock it removes the nasty orange icons from Sprint. it fixs the background for all tabs without any kind of hack has different walls for Port and Landscape. Dialer is fully skinned on all 3. Keyboards anything that could be skinned is skinned. The Home screens are fully functional on all providers nothing is not working everything looks nice and it is all one .cab per theme... no more 40 cabs to get a almost skinned interface. More themes will be available soon I have 2 more in progress. Windows 6.5 skins and TF 2.5-2.6 skins coming soon as well. Enjoy it has been a long haul to get here but the days is at last upon us.

Just a couple of the many videos on you tube on these themes. Check them out.
Nice, Great work!
Finally Probe!!!
lol..when did you finish?! i remember you were still finishing up Sunday night...
looks great. keep us updated. i have been havin fun with my current theme 4 awhile and will be wantin a new look soon. hopefully most everyone will be updating to 6.5 soon so it would be good to have options there.
The 6.5 update if its not rolled in with the new sense UI [TF3D] will not effect these themes at all I have my handsd on the att version that has 6.5 included and it does not look to contain Sense UI only TF3D 2.1 so it will not effect the use of my themes at all to upgrade to 6.5 will be fine. I will be maken themes for 6.5 very soon to match these themes to keep everything looking uniform. I also just updated my PRO2 to the euro offical update. It does contain the new Sense UI but not the same one from the Leo I am already working on this version to have ready for when it rolls out in the US. prolly wont be for a while so I have time. )
off the hook theme probex! that alienware theme is by far the illest theme ive seen from u and cant wait for it to be available for my tp2.. thank you for all your hard work now and in advance cuz i cant wait to see what u'll do next! what about a thunder cats theme?!? lol! my phone is itchin for that blue theme!

Installed TF7X last night love it... great work
I just installed the naughty by nature theme boy is this theme sick ,probex has the best skills out there cant wait for ur other themes , if u need me to test anything on a sprint tp2 i will probex thanks again .And will ur 2.5 themes have weather on the homescreen ?
am I supposed to uninstall HDwall also? My missed calls over lap the date, and the tab on bottom says current selection
You must have had something installed that is messing with it. Yes it should say current selection on the tab but nothing should overlap did you have some kind of background for all tabs or something installed?
My themes have been extensivly tested on every provider on a stock install with no issues.

just hdwalls and I think, could that be the problem? also, the icon doesn't appear through the current selection window, just the text, i'll try uninstalling some apps tomorrow to see which one is causing it to act up
oh, I should also add that I'm not using a stock ROM, could possibly be the issue as well, great work though looks awesome
Yes that fact you are not on a stock rom is really hard for me to predict the behavior this is exactly why I stuck with the stock roms for all providers for building and testing. Its almost impossible for me to know how each rom chief will add or remove parts from other versions of touchflow or the sense UI I wanted a product that could be deployed to the mass's. The average user will not load custom roms. Esp on a device that works so well already with the stock rom. HD walls if it contains any manila files/ and it probably does could most deffinatly be causing wierd behavior If it contained some sort of wall for all tabs hacks My version does not run hacks to have wallpapers on all tabs.
And it's not only ROM chefs adding to this challenge, but also HTC and phone distributors themselves with the sheer amount of versions of TouchFLO plus additions from phone vendors - no standards and no documentations whatsoever. Everyone takes about how good for end users and for developers so called "open" is - here is the proof point that just the oppsite is the case.
I love Probex' work. It's design versus a mix of elements into a CAB file. And I can live with some glitches

Thanks D/\SH your the man.
I have the ATT tilt 2, and it is great but i hate the stock ATT branded bloatware version. What is the best rom for it to date? I love the touch flo 3d and would like to keep it, but be able to remove all of the ATT logos in the background and everywhere else. Thanks for your help.

There are plenty of ROMs, and it's really depending on your own personal style, trial and error. I'm trying out EnergyROM from here, but you may also want to look at others in this forum.
First let me say I found the stock AT&T ROM very satisfactory. It was responsive and worked well. First I deleted much of the bloat using the wiki as a guide. But the weather clock proved too tempting and I flashed a custom ROM. I went with this one and am very satisfied:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568233
Only thing is that for me YouTube isn't working. Others report it works for them and a few like my self have issues. You might not have the issue. I recommended you do a hard reset after the install.
I hear good things about the Energy ROM too. I like the ROM I'm using because it was less app pre-installed, so I can install them myself onto the storage card keeping my device relatively clean and with ample storage available.
Do you guys recommend HTC Sense 2.1 or 2.5?

Just my 2 cents. 2.5 has a few nice things like Twitter tab, new email tab. But the Contacts tab is ugly and the lack of landscape is a deal breaker. If I didnt want landscape I would go back to my tilt lol lol ok 2 cent spent lol

I believe they both have the weather animations. I like the contacts tab in 2.5 better but like the programs tab in 2.1.
Right now I'm using 2.5, but plan on giving 2.1 a try tonight.
Best thing is to try both and decide for yourself.
I have the energy rom, and it works great. But how do you change the background in all the tabs? I figured out the home screen, but i cant figure out how to change the background on all the other tabs in touchflow3d
I put the stock HTC euro 6.5 rom on my TILT2. works like a dream

There is a cab that will change all background tabs. BE WARNED!! When you change the background you lose the weather animation. Weather Animation only works with default background. You can use HD WALL to change it and not lose the animation. here is a link for 2.1 1919

not to start a flame war or anything but... do you REALLY need landscape in manila? really? it has landscape in photo and music AND just about every app (sms, email, web browser, etc.) but really? having landscape on the homescreen that important?
anyhow... you should try flashing the official clean europe WWE version first. then move up from there. im running 2.5 and its beautiful. i dont need landscape in manila. why would i? why would anyone? everything else has landscape...
btw: youtube works fine too. wifi/3g high/low quality. (and of course in landscape....)
AtomAng Fusion 6.0 Sense 2.1 ATT
The AT&T keyboard works without any additional cabs. Sense 2.1 supports screens in landscape mode.

i would like to try out the At0mAng Fusion V6.0 but the download will take 4 days it appears. can anyone email/file transfer it to me that already has it?

lol ok. i wasnt trying to be rude. im guessing you're saying you wanna see the clock in landscape as that is pretty much the only thing that isnt landscape supported in 2.5. but for those that dont know, it can get confusing when people say "no landscape". 2.5 DOES have landscape. on everthing but the manila(home) screens. if you open the sms app, for example, and open the keyboard or tilt it sideways using the accelerometer it WILL go into landscape. same in web browser and every other app. not to bring up the "other" phone, but just to compare 2.5 is like the iphone os as in: homescreen stays upright no matter what but as soon as you open any app you can tilt it into landdscape. or, in the tp2, open the keyboard into landscape... so YES 2.5 has landscape. just not in home screens. (with the exception of you, how many times do most people have the keyboard out in the clock screen?)
as far as ROMS, and back on topic , if 2.1 is your cup of tea, then i say go with the official ones. pretty much as close to bug free as youre gonna get. instead of trading ATT's bloatware for someone elses. get an official one on there then install whatever app you DO use. i went from att's to the official europe WWE one from the htc website(you still have to hardspl, btw) and i gotta say: i dont even know if my tilt2 does "edge" anymore as it hasnt budge from HSPA since.. worst case is 1 or 2 bars of "H" inside buildings.. and everything works. i then went from that to 2.5 and its just beautiful. been on it since. bug free as far as i can tell... Rhodium_AF htc sense 2.5 by ark666.
IMO, the TPC ROM is the best ATT replacement. Since I got my Tilt2 I've been messing with all the ROMs and finally decided to stick with this one. It's clean, nice looking, and very stable. The only problem I see so far is that activesync shows up in the taskmanager, but that's not really a problem cause it's always running anyways.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576361
aruppenthal is just getting started with his At&t based rom. It's still very beta but in the weeks to come it will be the rom of choice for Tilt2 owners.
If you're not wanting to test a beta I'd look to one of At0mAng's At&t roms (Sense 2.1 or 2.5)
Read both of the threads and see what looks good to you.

Sorry if this is a newbie type question but in flashing the euro rom, do you maintain US 3G?
i ended up using the energy rom, i liked it, especially the start menu at the bottom. but then i settled on the Rhodium_AF htc sense 2.5 by ark666.
i like this one the most, i will continue using it until i get the itch to change again. iused the HDwall to change the backgrounds and it looks great, it just wont do landscape when im in the htc sense 2.5, which isnt that big of a deal. Overall super happy with this phone, blows the old tilt out of the water (even though its not technically the next version of the tilt)
Thanks everyone!

hey everyone! i got a question lol..
i decided to go with the tmobile 6.5 and was wondering is there way to have the the animated weather on the home screen? like in the newer sense
Hello
Yes,it is possible,of course.
I do not know about Tmobile ROMs though,but about HTC custom ROMs I do know.
You just need to install custom,official HTC WM6.5 ROM,and you will have everything on it...animated weather especially looks great.
You know the procedure of flashing? If you do not,go to ROM section,this is not a thread for it.
yes i know how to flash..
been coming here since my touch pro1 but i recently flashed to the tmobile rom just too check out the new upadate to 6.5..so i need the official htc rom instead?
You need to run a rom that specifically has the Sense 2.1 (notice SENSE and not just regular 2.1) or a rom that runs manilla 2.5. Either of those has the weather background you are talking about.
The problem is that T-Mobile changes the default wallpaper to something other than the animated weather wallpaper. I am looking for a way to enable the animated weather wallpaper on the TMOUS ROM and will post back if i find anything.

You can try this way. Pick a T-Mobile wallpaper you want. Use HDWall to make a cab from that wallpaper. Install the cab file and soft reset.
From what I can tell, T-Mobile replaced the animated weather wallpaper with some T-Mobile.png for the default wallpaper. Can anyone upload the animated weather wallpaper from the EU ROM or similar?
HTC Sense
Well guys,
I am reading all these posts,and I just wanted to give you all a small advice...
I realize that most of you guys live in the USA or Canada,and I can understand why do you want TMobile ROM that much.
However,I highly recommend official,stock HTC WM 6.5 ROM,because it has all the stuff we need.
Our friend asked for weather animated screen. So,if you really want that,install the ROM I mentioned and enjoy. No hacks,no registry editing,no nothing. Just flash and enjoy.
Besides,it has a lot of functions you will like a lot. ( And you will get a real,Windows Mobile 6.5 look..........
Best regards from Serbia.
well the official ROM is nice because then we don't have to load cabs for the keyboard and MMS fixes. As well as cabs for the my account, VVM, and myfaves if you happen to use it. I did run the EU ROM for a couple months until I found something better and it was great. But I do not need the animated weather wallpaper bad enough to prefer to install all the extra cabs i would need to make my phone work for me.
If you could go into your phone and attach the animated wallpaper then we could load it onto our phones as the default wallpaper and it would make life much happier
Animated Weather aka HTC Sense
@Zylograth
Well,I am really willing to help you guys,but maybe you know the following:
Animated Weather is highly complicated program,which is not consisted of animated wallpapers only. It changes according to weather...if it is rainy,small drops are all over the phones screen,if it is snowy,snowflakes are all around...if it is sunny,sunlight is all over the place..it is the most beautiful today screen I have ever seen.
However,I will try to figure something out. So far,I know it takes about 25 MB of RAM...can you imagine how big that .CAB file would be,when it takes about 25 MB of RAM? I need to find a way to extract it from my ROM and make it usable,(if it is possible at the first place,but I doubt)
Yeah, I am not too worried about it, though it would be nice to have. If I decide that I cannot live without it I will go back to the EU ROM, but for the time being I am happy with the TMOUS ROM lol

Thanks to El Daddy, weather animations are as simple as using HD walls and the hack below (old HD walls cabs made in winmo 6.1 work, too)
Awesome!

hey there
first i am sorry if this posting is against the forum rules, i do hope that it is not however.
here is my idea:
The Toch HD seems to be running much faster without any wallpaper. E.g. when the background of Manila is just black an there is no wallpaper at all, it scrolls more fluently.
so, is there any way to completely disable all the wallpapers in manila 2.5? in my case, i got the energy rom which sets wallpapers for all tabs by default, can i disable this?
i think we would get a nice performance boost.
regards, burobernd
p.s: no just taking a black picture file wont do the trick ..
x2
is there a cab to disable the wallpaper in home screen of Sense 2.5?
Bguards
Hello, do you mean when you use the standard wallpaper of manila?
I've one Idea. You could use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
With this programm you integrate a custom Wallpaper in Manila like its the standard wallpaper. So the wallpaper is a Manila file and not a jpg oder so...
Hope it helps

not using standard wallpaper nor installing cab created with HDWall, just remove all wallpapers in registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila, it would be obviously faster within manila 2.5.
Yes right but i have something to say... where are we going ? We need more and more Speed and often we want thinks from our Blackstone that he just CANT handle LOL my point is okay we can do many things for faster Manila so now we will remove all wallpapers and the phone will be with blank black screen ok.. so also we can CFC edit the manila images to make them alot more light but of course this will cause they to be not the best quality and the manila will be even faster.. then if we want we even can remove totaly some of the tabs and the Manila wil be more faster.. and alot other tweaks like this.. But my question is What we doing exactly? To be honest i prefer my device to be more slow but to look good and i to feel good when im playing with it.. so you spend alot of money for this device and on the final you even can`t have a wallpapr? LOL if someone need so Much Speed can buy Leo or Nexus One witch i think is the better choice right now..
We can make many many tweaks to have faster Interface but we will lose the quality and the beauty of that Interface
tsalta, this is a very interesting thought you have.
however, i see it differently: with all those shortcuts and weather icon and stuff on the homescreen, i think there are already enough (maybe even too much) items on it.
so, effectively, when setting a colorful wallpapers, the screen gets all messy which i dont like at all: no wallpaper at all allows me to have the clean and professional look i want to have, and yield a little bit of speed.
it is true that we should not pretend to have a leo with a 1ghz processor in it, so manila 2.5 might be a questionable choice. but, as it happens, the majority does want it on their phones, and then so be it. if they prefer a wallpaperless manila 2.5 to a wallpapered manila 2.1, that's legit!
and one last thing: i for my part didn't chose manila 2.5 because of the fancy homescreen but because of the many tiny fixes and enhancements in all the other tabs.
but as i said, you are right if you say that some roms are just loaded with fancy stuff that might run well on a leo, but not on our blackstone.
cheers
Yes yes it's just personal preference for speed or for eye candy. That's why many people are still using winmo 6.1 and many people are using energy's ROM. Thanks for the chefs here we get plenty of choices to balance our need
Actually it's kinda out of topic in the ROM development forum
MOD EDIT - Feel this thread is more suited in General discussion forum
I know this post will anoy alot of people but people jump to conclusions.
This is not a 'which is the best' question its a Which works Question
I want a rom that will work like a new phone out of a box - HTC sense UI and all working.. - No dodgy iphone style theme thing -
Ive been using android 2.2 for 6 months now and its been great but i want to update the OS to 2.3.
Every version of 2.3 i install has problems with the camera or backlight or somthing OR - Theres a 'allmost perfect version' - and theres either
a. no actual link - just a load of crap in the thread aout how good it is with loads of pictures and no actual link -
b. it has a stupid crappy iphone theme skin that it doesent function properly without
c. crashes and wont boot after clock work has done its witch craft!
So my question is -
In your opinion, whats the most stable BEST RUNNING 2.3 ROM that isnt skinned and has sense UI?
I dont care about people's thoughts 'whats cool for me might not be cool for you' - the question is as above!
I suggest not to jump to conclutions ur self and try Ultimate droid 3.3 ir has gingerbread 2,3 running, best speed amongst ANY roms out there, simple but very customisable ui, been using it for 5-6 months and it has never crashed.
tip - get a widget of the sence like clock u wond even feel like missing sence UI
there is no fully working sense rom with 2.3

This animal doesn't exist. There are no 2.3 ROMs running Sense that work "well", they ALL have major issues. This is simply not an option at this point.
Try again next month. Who knows?
all roms are in DEV state. even next month =P

Thanks for your feedback - My only question - i downloaded a version of 2.3 - and when i move an app say angry birds to the SD card - it comes up with some bogus application cannot start error - then a load of random numbers - ill log it next time... - But as soon as i move the app to the phone memory, it works - this happens on all card classes... - Google earth also does this aswell as loads of other apps...
