TouchFLO 3D Theme Customizer

Now that we're seeing different colors and designs for the TouchFLO 3D Home screen today plug-in on different versions of the Touch Diamond, if anyone is planning on making a theme customizer that we can use to change these at will...
Please make it extensible enough so that other future and existing applications can be added and changed as well.

AFAIK, there are no ROMs for the branded devices available... When those become available, it'll be far easier to allow for skinning.

How about a project to adapt the remaining Windows Mobile "design look" into the Touchflo3D GUI? Of course tweaking performance at the same time to compensate for it as much as possible.

I was wondering whether to do that... These forums seem to be some of the cleanest (device wise) so keep up the moderating
If and when someone gets there hands on an operator branded device (or an operator ROM), I'll try and work out how the customization takes place...

Agreed.
I would love it if there was something extensible like Schap's Advanced Config, where anyone could customize an XML file or something and have the application load Skin/Theme options (like HTC Home Customizer does) for other applications (including TouchFLO 3D).
So like a hybrid between HTC Home Customizer which will load the proper image files/etc. to the proper places based on what you choose... and the Advanced Config program where you can add custom options by editing an XML file.
Doesn't that sound like a great tool for changing theme/skins for all of these applications?

I would LOVE to reorder the TouchFLO 3D Tabs at least!!!

I would love to change the color of my TF3D theme from o2 but keeping my german version!
When I recieve my XDA I can provide you with the included ROM but the delivery date is delayed.

I'm getting a T-Mob compact IV, dumping the ROM (assuming it's not already done by someone else by then) is near the top of my to-do list.
Anyone who's seen T-Mob's version of TF3D will understand my wish help the progress of a theme customiser!!!
2+ more weeks to go... :-(

Does it all mean that maybe one day it will be possible to add some other items to the TF3D??
I am desperately looking for an application like PocketZenPhone to switch the profiles with one touch!!! I didn't start using my diamond yet only because of this!!! I have to change profiles very often (bluetooth on/off, vibrating with sound and without sound, etc...) and it is really impossible everytime to enter menus!!!
Can someone help me.... please!?!

Try AEBPlus - it maps your hard ware buttons, I have just one set to turn on wi-fi, and the same button on double pressing to turn on Bluetooth, turn off the same way....

Thanks a lot... I'm going to try if it helps!
It would be better to have 4 or 5 icons like in PZP with different profiles, but also this can help.
Are you sure it works with WM6.1?? Because it is not in the list of compatible devices.
Thanks again!
Urosh

I tried to install AEBPlus but it was unsuccessful...
???
Do someone know why?
Thnx

TouchFLO 3D & other elements

Hi,
I did get an O2 ignito on Tuesday.
I ordered it on Saturday and PMed two of the better known cooks if they wanted a dump (sorry and no names) but not had a reply. They are obviuosly busy.
I did point out though that I had not dumped before and did not have anywhere to upload it to. I did find some threads to do it and it seemed complex.
I have now put on a rom from this forum and am very happy with it. Will donate.
The o2 rom was 1.92.2xx.

hey guy newbie here. will like to know what i need to be able to ne need customize my today screen and also landscape. dont bash me. new at this HTC WM thing. PLEASE HELP QUICK!!!!!!!

????
Read the WIKI......Lota of info for you in there.....or do a search with any Question you have.....

The best place to start you off would be the Raphael wiki. Read up. Also visit the Raphael forum for tips and tricks/tweaks.
Happy Learning!

Ok thanks for that link but i already looked at that. not really tell me what programs to look for. Unless im over looking

I'd love to help you....but your request is really broad. Try to narrow it down a little...like applications that can perform specific tasks. The amount of customization you can do to a WM device is almost limitless. If you don't have any in mind right now...look around....check some forums out online. I'm sure you'll come across applications that would make you go...'hmmm....I'd like to have that' That's where xda devs comes in

what kind of customization are u looking for? Are u trying to get a completly new theme? Remove some tabs from the touch flo? You need to be more specific about about what you would like to customize. Like what are you exactly looking to do?

for now i would like to know how to redu a whole new theme

Get diamond tf3d config. Browse the diamond forums for themes. Install them via diamond tf3d config if it's a file that ends in .theme. Some of them will be cabs, which you just install. On my phone, I installed a .theme file, then a cab to change the clock, and then a cab to hide the top curtain... all of which I found in the diamond forums. Lot's of good information for customizing in the diamond forums. Anything else specific you want to customize, just do a search.

ok i got Diamond TF3D Config. working. But what do i do from here. It has no themes.

HELP ME!! HTC Diamond Phone

Hi guys, i know there are similiar threads out there, but i cannot find a good guide to my question. Please help me out here.
I just got my HTC Diamond yesterday, and had lots, i mean LOTS of difficulty using it.. It too cheem. Haha, so will appreciate any help.
I think it's best to give u my phone infos:
ROM Version : 2.03.707.2 WWE
Speed 528Mhz
Ram size: 192Mb
Windows 6.1
(Need any more info, please ask me.)
Firstly, how do i change the Clock, time format to 12hr, instead of the 24hr clock.
Secondly, How can i turn off GPRS, so i won't have to pay extras in my bills.
Thirdly, SMS is quite difficult, what's the best way to use it with a hand and no stylus.
Fourthly, Is it posible to upgrade the version to 6.5?
Fifth, i saw something abt tweaking, how do i do that? And the only way to lock my phone is the power button is it??
Additional Questions:
There's another question. For example my old contact naming Wei Ming, when transfer to HTC, it change to Ming Wei, HOW TO SOLVE?? This is very important too.
Lastly, when i use MSN, then it import all e emails in my contacts, making it very messy, what can i do?
Please advise how to make my phone to become as user friendly as possible.
Thanks in advance!

Ok first things first yes you can upgrade to 6.5 although it is not officially released you can install it.
there are programs that you would want to install to help you do most of these things. take a look at these 2 threads for programs to help you achieve what you are trying to do.
Themes, Applications and Software <---Diamond sections / Development and Hacking <----General sections
look at Icontact for you contact issue
look for TF3D to configure the themes / wallpaper / and other items in Touch flow.

Any links u can give me to let me dl 6.5?

hi and welcome to XDA
make sure you read this and understand it before you do anything or you might break your diamond
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211

Hey guys, i really encounter alot problem with it. There are many error reprting that make me send same report over n over again.
Then i could not use advance config, after i install, when i launch it, there a error report.
I cannot sync my contacts with the computer too.
Can anyone help me out quick?

Hi,
A way to disable GPRS is an app called NoData MoDaCo. Search the forum for it.
Also If you look in the settings there is a way to disable error reporting .

You have quite the laundry list of questions/issues. However all of them have been asked/answered in various threads around the Diamond (and other) forums. Please use the custom Google search as it is much more reliable then the default vBulletin search engine.
Thank you,

New to Diamond2, just required some basic help.

Hi everybody, I recently got a Diamond2 and found that the enormous amount of expertise and help available at xda-developers have really helped me enjoy this phone. The phone is not locally supported by any carriers or retailers in Canada so the availability of these forums have been a real help. I've run through most of the issues I've had with the phone (really like the Pro2 Interface better but was way to bulky) but have a few remaining that I haven't been able to find satisfactory answers for, hope you guys will be able to help.
I've downloaded and played around with what seem to be most of the prerequisite softwares: Advanced Config Tool, Klaxon, Changescreen etc. and have also made a couple of registry modifications to enable TF3D rotation and things like that. Here is where I'm getting into a bit of trouble. Although changescreen is a great app I just don't like to install a lot of things on my device and decided to try the regedit. After a soft reset it seemed to work great but was quite slow in switching over to landscape and back. At first I though this was a problem with the g-sensor so I opened up Opera to try it out and found that it was much faster. Obviously it's a lot less graphically intense but I was playing around with a Touch Pro2 before I bought the Diamond2 and it is also significantly faster, with the same processor and everything. I've tried to reduce the sampling time for the g-sensor down from 200ms to 100ms in ACT but that didn't really seem to help. Also I get some really weird lines across the tops of TF3D pages in landscape; in the All Contacts page for example the bar that contains "Search Contacts" will have at least three sets of distorted lines across it at regular intervals across the page. The wallpaper also seems to malfunction as instead of staying as it was, it will stretch across the width of the screen and as a result become extremely distorted. The dialer doesn't go into landscape but that seems to be a common issue. I've downloaded the Rhodium Phone Dialer although I haven't had a chance to install it yet, maybe that will fix the dialer issue.
I do have some app installed that changes the background of all tabs to be the same and this seems to have messed with the transparency of the tab bar and, occasionally the phone will fail to respond to screen swipes that would usually cycle through the tabs without using the tab bar. Maybe this app is also causing the other problems.
The help on these forums has already been a great asset and I was just hoping that I would be able to get some simple fixes for the issues with the landscape thing without having to install more software. Thanks in advance for any help, its all appreciated. Cheers.
PS, rom is 1.39.421.0 (47382) WWE

what you can do to improve things:
1. ditch stock rom and use tess rom
2. install flipit for rotation software - its better than the rest IMO

Thanks for the quick reply
Thanks for the quick reply, sorry I wasn't able to reply right away, got a bit busy at uni.
I was a bit apprehensive about installing a new rom but the one you recommended is amazing. The speed increase alone is unbelievable, doesn't even feel like the same device.
Everything is working great and the rotation is really fast now on everything except TF3D. It almost looks like it attempts to rotate and then fails. The title bars rotate around and then rotate back. I've added the regedit, manually removed and added it back into flip_it, but nothing seems to be working. Aside from that everything else seems perfect. Hope you'll be able to help, and once again, thanks.

oh yeah.. forgot to mention about manila in landscape
go to search and look for At0mAng & Danny_and_2 TF3D2 Tweak cab for topaz
install, and in the list of programs, there is option called Manila Rotate ON.
and thats it, you are all set...
hope this helps

Can I ask where to read and get this rom?
I am also new to Topaz.
Running on stock ROM
been reading around. reading on the various rom threads to decide which to use.
I am looking for something stable, fast (aren't we all?) and 6.1. Still got Manila and hopefully with Titanium built in. Also if possible with ringtones removed.
What would you recommend?
Thanks

Almost there
Thanks for the tip about the tweak program, installed it and followed your directions, manila is now rotating. However, its still incredibly slow; in the range of 3-5 seconds for transition to landscape and then around 1-2 seconds back to portrait. Also, those distortive lines I described earlier are back.
I was hoping for the kind of speed seen here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPVgN5QuzO4 but I do realize that its a different rom. I've disabled and enabled TF3D and also done a soft reset, but no speed increase. I was thinking it may be a hardware issue but everything else works fine. One thing I have noticed though is that since installing this rom some programs get stuck half rotated and the other half of the screen will display the TF3D home page. Once again, thanks for all the help so far.
P.S. If I disable TF3D the blank today screen will rotate at the same speed as in that video if not faster. Also before when the menus rotated but not TF3D they were rotating at the same fast speed.

yes, I know what you mean.. at this stage, manila rotates pretty slow for me too...
I guess at the moment, we have to live with it... the slow rotation only happens on tf3d2 rite? the rest is ok...
as with hardware issue, I am sure it is not, cause topaz is still relatively new...
btw, Manila 2.1 is around, and manila 2.5 is coming too... so, maybe they would give better performance .
btw, the youtube link is a rom made by Tom Condon, and as you probably know, he is very active in building rom for topaz too... why dont you give him a message, or try his rom...
Tha

sorry double post again..

Sounds good
Glad to know that it wasn't just a one off issue. I'll give his rom a shot, was kind of wary b/c of the comments that said WM 6.5 was slow. Would you be able to direct me to somewhere that I'd be able to download TF3D 2.1 alone without a rom upgrade or anything or maybe even cooked into the TESS rom. Thanks for the incredible quick reply and for all the help so far.

So Confused Choosing which rom!!

Hi there... im pleased with myself for having dumped the stock ROM (4 Raws) and then going through the HSPL, which i checked is good!!
ive got my touch to use WiFi and not 3G when using the net at home even tho im on Orange Uk which is supposed to be set to 3g only etc
but i want to got WM 6.5 but am so unsure of which version to use... tbh i can seem to find out which release has what functions, no language stated as i read some where spanish or something lol!
i just see V12, V13 V14 to download etc no real explanations as to the content... Well not for a novice anyways..
so i know it may have been asked before but would someone (or many) please point me in the direction of something that is stable with no known major issues (such as wifi not working or something) and looks nice/fucntions smoothly...
if possible!
thank you so much to all that have helps via the modding topics and all those that reply here!
thanks!
Dave

A lot is down to personal preference
I have Jade Overloaded WM65 OS 5.21806 OEM 2.33.721.1 on my device, try it see how it goes if you don't like it try another.
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524102

can i simply put a rom over the top of the other then??
i am a real novice but trying to learn been on here hours going through dumping and the hspl... slowly but surely!
there are a few areas still im still in the dark about...
1) i regedit all the time on pcs and lappys etc but how do you on the fone?
2) still a bit vague on how to actually install the roms...
i have jade customRUU, but i read that was for just updating the splash and something else without installing a whole rom? i could be well wrong but im sure i did read that!
just not sure what to do tbh! lol!
thank you so much for your rom suggestion and if you could shed any light on my other qu's i'd appriciate it so much!
thanks again!
Dave

Yes you just flash it over old rom, its like upgrading a pc it wipes all personal stuff etc
to edit registry you need prog like total commander
go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406 you will find all you need to flash new roms on your phone

My advice for WM6.5 is to wait for the official Microsoft release, that is September 2009 (hopefully). All of WM6.5 ROMs on this site are beta, so they all have bugs. From all of them i'll recommend pdaviet's v14, but it's only my personal opinion.
If you still want to flash, just read this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406
and knock yourself out!
Good luck!

thanks lex i went with flubs recommendation and while its great there are some things im not too keen on!
i love the wifi side of things and how thats a priority over using the 3g etc
still cant get the weather to function tho... as you say im sure things will improve once the official release comes

having same probs with weather myself.
like lex said all are beta and have some bugs, you just gotta find one your happy with for me personaly its Jade Overloaded WM65 OS 5.21806 OEM 2.33.721.1 the weather function is no prob I will sort it out hopefully but if not I can live with it I will just remove it from home screen LOL

yeah still working out how to do things... being my 1st wm system...
wanna change the order in start menu..
quick link/button to turn wifi on/off
change the homescreen both features and order...
change the background as that is a little disappointing lol
i was looking at the manila 2d is it? but seen so many people having issues with it im not sure i wanna install it!
lol lots of reading searching to do :-( haha!

If you flashed the overloaded rom I suggested then you have touch flo installed you need to go to settings / today items tab and select touchflo
if you wanna change order in start menu you can select and hold an item menu will opo up saying move to top

hi flub!
seems i was running with Windows Default... which i actually liked.. but if i select something else that deselects :-(
i just have touchflow selected and pressed ok... i like the layout gonna take some gettin used to! lol
i went to the weather options removed what was there and selcted add to be presented with a full list of towns etc...
selected the one closest to me.. it updated and is working!!!!
pitty the default wont work tho! will run with the touch system from now then!
thank you so much! your help/advice is very appriciated!

you can use a registry editor then navigate to the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\
Under the registry key, create a new DWORD value with value name as SMSInboxThreadingDisabled and set it value data to 1.
or here is a cab file to disable sms conversation http://www.ziddu.com/download.php?uid=a6uanZema7OelOKnZqqhkZSrY6ybl5mo6
