Hi guys Does anyone know where to find the setting to change the Phone skin on the XDA2s to classic from the shipped O2 one . I seem to remember before i reflashed my XDA after the radio rom 1.06.02 went tits up i found a setting . or is there a cab file i can run to change it please

not sure about the Messenger cab, but i'm sure you can find a version on this site!
Black Manila theme here:
You Tube app is missing and a CAB is needed desprately. Can anyone help?
no response?
So I guess you compact IV owners dont want the You Tube and Windows Live Messenger apps?
Are you loking to just de-brand?
Have you applied the balck manilla yet? any good?
Mine has just arrived to just having a play... the browser is unreal!

Applying Black Manilla works just fine. However start menu is still T Mobile white. Even beaming across the original HTC Black theme and choosing that makes no difference.
However Im looking for Windows Messenger (the latest CAB on this forum didnt work) and You Tube App.
hmm i thought the start menu was just part of the theme file...
skin
I want to thank the poster of the manila theme!
I was Looking for this theme, cause the T-mobile theme with the pink logo's was so girlish
Also for other installers, during the install every thing went fine till it restarted. I looked like the phone started correctly, i heard bleeping and it shaked, but the screen was gray with borders.
After that I thought I messed something up, and tried a soft reset, after that it worked like a charm!
ok after lots of atempts i think i have got my compact to a state where you could call it de-branded??
i have got the black manilla theme from the diamond which is allot better than the pink and white! i have got windows live with messenger installed and working nicely, and i have finally managed to get the youtube app on it aswell, so apart from that is there anything else which needs to be changed software wise??
anyone else had any success with this? i know i could just flash another rom but i really want to stay under warranty
Cheers guys
Care to Share...
How You did it... step by step.
Speaking of warranty, I’m in the same boat. I got no issues of changing the ROM as long as I can get back if I need to.
We really need a copy of the T-Mobile Stock ROM!
i would also be very interested in knowing which version of messenger you got to work and where you located it
I know i can flash a different rom but don't really want to until a copy of the original t-mobile rom is available, just in case i need to revert back for warranty purposes.
how i installed Windows Live Mobile...
Okay guys bare with me and let me know if you have any success with this.....
firstly for Windows Live Mobile, i have tried loads of different cabs to get this working, but this has seemed to work for me,
1) install "Windows Live install 1st.cab" then soft reset, once you reset you will have windows live installed but there will be no messenger this should be fine if you just want hotmail.
*****make sure you dont uninstall the 1st cab! they both need to be on at the same time to work!*****
2) install "Windows Live install 2nd.cab" and again soft reset, once you reset you will have all of windows live including messenger just as it is on the stock diamond rom same version im pretty sure!
Windows live is now good to go! over wifi it will sync flawlessly, over gprs/3g it will be hit and miss, as it has been on every other device with wm6, Windows live mobile and T-mobile, i always get my emails however it will sometimes show a sync error aswell. (let me know how you get on here because i have had this connection issue with my last couple of phones!)
i take no credit for any of these files, they are already on this forum and i thank the guys who uploaded them first time around!
Original TouchFLO....
To get the original colours back into touchFLO i used the theme which was posted earlier in this thread on the first page, this does take up about 9mb of space though! however looks far better than the pink and white!
to change the start menu picture go to Start>Settings>System>TouchFlo and de-select 'Enable Large Start menu' this will then give you what ever themes your using start menu, however it wont be as large!

How did you get the you tube app to work?
There is a youtube VGA cab on this forum, which installs - however whenever you attempt to play a video there is an error message
Finally Youtube!
this was the most annoying one!
okay to install this...
1) Install "AdobeFlashLite.cab" this may or may not be required? however i installed it and everything works fine! maybe someone could try with out this and see if it still works.
2) install "HTC YouTube install 1st.cab" this will install the youtube app however it is a qvga version and looks rough on the awesome vga screen and everything is all over the place, however still works fine.
3) unzip the contents of "HTCYouTubeVGA install 2nd.zip" to your \Windows\ directory ensuring the files do go into the windows directory and not into another folder inside the windows directory i.e \Windows\HTCYou... you will be promted if you want to overwrite some files, you have to overwrite all of the existing 200 or so files!
4) do a soft reset for luck and you will now have the full youtube app aswell! exactly the same as on the diamond, i cant remember if i had to create the shortcut to the youtube app myself or if the cab did it, if you have to do it yourself the application is called youtube.exe and is in the \Windows\ folder!
Again all of these files have already been uploaded by others elsewhere in the forum! i have just got them all together, so a big thankyou to all of those members!
let me know your results
Cheers
I also did change the "on-pink" in the connection manager, this was on a dutch t-mobile device but it will probally also work on uk-versions. Just put these 2 files in the windows map with total commander or some other file manager.
Another thing I did was a hard reset and just before the branding kicks in a soft reset. You'll get a pretty clean phone, only some programs aren't installed like tf3d. For tf3d I downloaded the black manila from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408843&highlight=boinger66+black. Opera is also not installed so I will also try to install this from the same thread and give it a go.
Also you can remove the t-mobile connection button on the tf3d interface by using removing globe.cab from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406681
Cheers to craigwn for the windows live messenger and youtube posts - all cabs installed straight away and with a soft reboot between each one, now both apps work great!
One small thing - I installed the youtube, wlm and then the manila theme and have just realised all my contacts have disappeared. Not sure which one of these have done it (or a combination) as I didn't check in between, but will just get them back via activesync so no problem.

i think this may have something to do with wlm, if you choose to sync contacts, it messes with the phones contacts aswell! just uncheck the option to sync contacts in the future.
Im not a big fan of the video dialer on Dutty's Rom's. I attempted to replace it but no dice.
I would like the black dialer as shown here:
Tried installing cab, but after soft reset Dutty's red kaiser dialer still there.
Tried wiping out folders in registry HKLM/Software/HTC/PhoneCanvas and HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin and reinstalling cab and still no dice (Prolly shouldn't a done this but found these keys on the Athena form, so thought i would give it a try). Now Dutty's Kaiser dialer is gone, but with phone skin enabled or disabled shows standard dialer.
Any one replaced a video dialer skin with another video dialer skin? What am I doing wrong? Any hints?
* I have attempted several searches through the forms all turning up mostly goose eggs for swapping video dialer skins. I see no guides or wikis for this.
Poor xcuse for a BUMP!
Beuler...

Anyone...
Anyone...
C'mon someone out there knows where I should look for this answer... Someone has to have modded their video dialer. Should i try to ask about this in General?
I
Guess no has done this...
Too Bad! I'll do some more digging of my own on the topic. If anyone can think of anything at all, be sure to drop a line, I'll be more than happy to look in any direction that you may point me.
Thanks!
Saturday November 17 2007 update:
Note: Newer HTC models (HTC Tytn II / Kaiser and HTC Touch) have their own custom dialpads, these skins aren't suitable for them. Do not install! You might have to hard reset if you cannot remove these skins via remove in settings
I've been digging in this as well but no luck... I Bricket my device once or twice trying to solve this.
There's loads of dialer skins but most without or no working video.
The skin you found look awesome so if you get it working plz let me know.
@jamorgan2008
you can try before installing an alternative dialer following.
1. Set the key in the registry HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled to "0" to disable video dialing function.
2. SoftReset
3. Install other dialer
4. SoftReset
5. That´s it
I had same issue on my Kaiser, but after that it works as expected
I NEED HELP URGENTLY! I Messed up my htc manila dialer by installing another stupid dialer software Now I need the original full dialer, mine was deleted by sktools while forcing the uninstall of the previously added dialer! Please provide with the dialer cab as soon as possible!!! I'm not able to make any phonecalls at all I'M SO PISSED
hard reset not possible..?
Hard reset or use the WM-dialer. Piece of cake.
i dont wanna hard reset, i got so many applications installed on my diamond, and most of them required precision tweaking to work exactly as I want them...I am using wm dialer right now ...but I really need the htc dialer back!
Diamond Dialer???

...did you get it?? I'm in the same situation now...
unfortunately I had to hard reset, all ok now
Arrrgghhh I am having nothing but a complete nightmare trying to skin my Kaiser. Having spent two days at it I have had to hard reset and sprite restore my phone over 6 times and I am getting really fed up with it.
I am used a cooked ROM with Manilla 2D already on it, it's Hyperdragon IV Iolite ROM (6.1)
I follow the instructions to the letter but all that results is after applying the skin I am stuck with no TouchFLO. I tap on it to launch but nothing happens and I am stuck with a kaiser that has no TouchFLO. I haved tried loads of different themes, be it in cab form or copying the ZIP folder contents directly to the windows directory and the end result is always the same, a useless TouchFLO disabled 6.1 device. Even using M2DC to restore the default backup theme doesn't work.
Any suggestions, I am getting really fed up with this.
Hard Reset?
Or try to install another Theme to see if you can get it to work again.
Btw. You don't have Operator or Myfaves, cause the don't work.
I've hard reset it 6 times. I've had to do this as I had no way to recover the M2D even after trying to use the back up. Not sure what Operator or Myfaves are but I don't have them.

Thats because if you try and enable either of those two plugins, it will break touchflo, also you are trying to use an Iolite manilla so you need a skin for Iolite manilla, most skins are for the standard manilla 2d and may not work if used on the Iolite manilla, this may be why manilla is breaking and refusing to start!
