help needed.

hi guys...
once again i am in need of some help. for some silly reason i cannot seem to install any themes i downloaded from the internet. i downloaded one yesterday from a different site, and that worked fine. but i reset my phone due to some earlier hiccups, so i had to download the theme again. but this time it just will not show up on my 'today screen' all i get are the normal 3 default themes.
am i doing something wrong here?
17 views and not a single reply. thats disappointing. but i have faith in this site due to it being highly recommended. i'm hoping someone will have an answer to my dilemma.
What format are these files you are trying to use as themes?
Are they .tsk?
Also where are you placing them on the device?
all themes must be *.tsk
put them in the windows folder in your device
to access them:
start>settings>personal>today>appearance
choose a theme listed>press OK

[Q] change browser homepage in the android.apk??

im kind of a noob when it comes to all this but ive been searching all over the web and it doesnt seem like anyone has a tutorial for this.
id like to change the stock browsers homepage and/or bookmarks and have them stick after a master rester..
ive searched the whole browser.apk and cant seem to find a way to do that.
any help would be much appreciated!
You could save it the way you want then use adb to pull the apk in its current state and it should save the preferences, I think
Sent from my HTC Glacier
tried that and hasnt worked, also tried to push the browser_preferences.xml file with the homepage set to whatever i want it to data/data/.. but after i hard reset its gone again.
EDIT: im pretty sure theres some xml file that i need to edit and cant seem to find.

post the fonts let me take a look.
Thanks The actual characters I am after are at: 10d0-10fb. I've playing with this for a while. Actually what I did, was copy the sylfaen.ttf into one of the first WP7 images for HD2, tweaked some registry and recoocked the ROM. But this did not work. After several failures I quit trying hoping that MS would eventually add Georgian letter support to OS. But with all this new updates, support for Georgian letter is still missing. So, if you could help I and probably all the Georgian language community would appreciate your help.
Its gona be a bit of a hastle I think! with not much of a change altho its worth looking in to because I would'nt mind useing some other fonts on my system.
You can view the fonts on your phone useing touchexperiance
On your pc just open touchexperiance and open the file browser
Next go down the the section of files that start with S and you will see 9 fonts
segoeui.ttf
segoeuib.ttf
SegoWP.ttf
SegoWP-Black.ttf
SegoWP-Bold.ttf
SegoWP-Light.ttf
SegoWP-Semibold.ttf
SegoWP-Semilight.ttf
seguisym.tff
Im gessing replaceing the one's that says segoeui.ttf & segoeuib.ttf would be a good one's to try with.
Anyway im not sure what font is used buy the system or where you could change teh directory posibbly in shell Not sure?
The fonts might be overrideable or unmoveable not sure?
Some of the fonta are defenetly made strickly for windows phone 7
But you might beable to rename your font and usse it as a system font but agin not sure?
This might requre a custom update or a cooked in rom to use not sure!
The file you sent me was alredy instaled on my PC.
The fonts are digitaly sined by microsoft so im not sure if useing a diffrent one would break the system updates or if its even posible to modify without bulding a custom rom
In all honisty in order to do it and make it look right you would need 9 new versions of sylfaen.ttf
If I end up cooking my owen rom I will defenetly be trying to use custom fonts
but for now I have other projects im trying to finnish
If you want to look in to any of the things I mentioned & report back to let us know that would be good keep at it im sure you will figure it out if you dotn let us know whare you are stuck!
I know thats dose'nt help much but maby you have an idia about ware to start depending how bad you want them.
Puting together a nice pack of 9 fonts all the same that match orignals wouldbe a good start.
We could probly put together a nice quality custom update with that.
Well goodluck!
The fonts are placed into windows directory (by default) you can actually change the location of the fonts from the registry. If interested I can send you the extract from the WPk7 registry file, where the fonts and font linking is done. As mentioned I have coocked my own ROM with sylfaen in windows directory and changed some settings in the registry. It seems that copying the font only doesnot solve the problem, there is the registry key where you have to add the your font to. It is quite interesting, because all the fonts seem to link to SegoWP. The problem is that the range for Georgian fonts is actually present in all the fonts that a factory present in WP7. The only problem is that that range is empty. Thus, when viewing Georgian pages you recive blank squares instead of charachters. With my own cocked ROM with sylfaen.ttf in it, I recieved quite strange results, MS Word would display Georgian text perfectly, Outlook would not. The strangest happened to IE when viewing georgian pages... The page would start blinking?!? Very strange. At this point I quite playing arround with this prodject, as I got to the max I could do I was thinking of using the xap install/update method that Da_G provided, but it is too techy for me.
Thanks anyway.

Transferring Icons from PC to Phone

Hi guys,
Firstly, apologies if this topic has been answered before, I wasn't able to find much on here. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to have desaturated versions of icons that I have on the phone and was able to extract them onto my PC and change them. The problem was getting them back on the phone, I tried a few methods that didn't seem to work and in the end had to resort to using APK Icon Editor to replace and pack the file without issue. Is there not a location folder on the phone that I can send icons to that will be picked up by launchers or is the method I used the only way?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
You have to decompile it and re compile it sometimes it need to be signed with the same signature use tickle my android or if you want do it with this app I found in the play store
