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

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.

[SOLUTION] for screen freezes on newest WM6.1 ROM from HTC...

If your screen is freezing some times there is solution for you.
First what you need is .NET Compact Framework 3.5. You can found it here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en
If you want direct CAB i uploaded it here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/148006720/NETCFv35.cab.html
Install it like normal CAB file. Now you need set up .NET Compact Framework as default framework in your system. For that you need registry editor wchich you can found here:
http://www.dotfred.net/TM/FdcSoft TaskMgr wm2005_3.1.cab
Just install it, open and go to the RegEdit tab. Now you should go to this key in registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\.NETCompactFramework
As you can see there are two strings:
2.0.7045.00 with value 1
and
3.5.7283.00 with value 0
You must change 2.0.7045.00 to 0 and 3.5.7283.00 to 1. After that your default framework in system will be version 3.5.
Now make soft reset of your Kaiser.
Next what you need to do is turn off all services from HTC in the system beacuse how i think it is general rason of screen freezes in HTC Kasier with newest ROM from HTC. For do it you should use the task manager wchich you installed before but now you need go to Services tab. As you can see there are many services. You need disable only this:
HTC Application Serivce
HTC Generic Service
HtcServices
TaskManager
To disable this services just tap and hold on the name and tap Disable in menu. If you can't tap disable the tap Set Manual and make soft reset and after that the disable option will be available.
I am working on my kaiser more than 1,5 week without this services and i can't see any malfunctions or side effect, whatever i don't use HTC Home and HTC Task Manager so i can't tell you how this two applications work without this services.
I hope that it will be helpful for you and screen freezes issue will gone. Sorry for my english and Good Luck.

I tend to like the update spl method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922

I tried every version of HardSPL but it not solve freezes on my Kaiser. Now i am using HardSPL 3.29 released by Commex (with removed stuck on bootloader possibility).
After this what wrote in first post i can say that i am happy first time of using my Kaiser bacuse i feel the boost now.

Well cool and thanks for writing this up. I'd like to hear what others have to say.

what fixed my freezing up problem was the simple upgrade of the spl.....a minute or two of my time and BAM! no more freezing...

Everything I needed was already installed - I simply switched the values for 2.0 and 3.5 and rebooted. No issues so far, but I'll let ya know as it goes along today.

Yeah some ROMs already have the proper .net stuff already installed, some don't.

For all your booting android needs, it's a pretty nice setup but I wouldn't count on it for everyday use because a few things don't work yet...

Thats the different between the RAPH, RAPH100, RAPH800, and RAPH & DIAM? I have ATT FUZE, not sure which category that falls under...

I have the AT&T Fuze and I use the one in the RAPH100 category; I believe the RAPH800 is the CDMA version of the Raphael. Regarding the other categories, 'RAPH and DIAM' appears to be an outdated version (v1265 as opposed to RAPH100's v1714) and the 'RAPH' category also appears to be an outdated version (dated 2009-02-19 as opposed to RAPH100's 2009-06-21).
I honestly don't understand why the website decided to categorize the port versions in such a confusing manner.

this doesnt appear to be the hero android.. or am I just downloading the wrong thing here? I followed all the logical links and went to Raph100 and downloaded the file. Looks more like the basic android though NOT the hero Sense OS

Also... are you sure that we are suposed to use Raph100? NOTHING seems to work with the download provided.. I cant make a call no wifi, no GPS, no.. anything. In the previous version I used I was at least able to make a call.... that was like 7 months ago though

Install PointUI. Any version will do but try the latest free version.
Install PointSenseSuite.cab
Enable the UI from Settings -> Today
Select the recently installed theme under Menu -> Customization
Install the PointSense.HomeScreen.cab.
Disable and re-enable the plugin, from Settings -> Today...

ok ... im a little confused .....
I have a rapheal - with NRG Rom using tf3d2. I have purchased SPB MS3, so i tend to not use TF3D anymore.
Ive had a go at Andriod (the connect-utb one) just to have a nosey - obviously it doesnt play nicely yet
This PointUI sense .... is it an overlay of WM6.5 (like TF3D) or is it a bootable OS (like Android) ?
I think my main question is .... is it the Hero OS ? or is it just a WM theme made to look like the hero OS ?
sorry if really noob question ....

PointUI is just a today plug in really.... Much like the old HTC Home or TF3D is.

But what is weird is that people make their phone look like an HTC Hero with what I posted but I have no idea how they do it

Realized I have to install a bunch of things to make it look like the Hero

the third thing you are sposed to install i cant find anywhere even on the main thread for it

Wait until tommorow, for the new release of PointSense UI.
First, install Home 2 here
Then, install Point Sense UI by following the instruction on the site.
Copied right from the site. (Make sure you have Point UI Home 2 installed first)
Install:
- Only for Point UI 2.1.0.6c or higher
- Recommend to install in clean Point UI (You must run Point UI first, accept Terms and activate before install the suite)
- Backup your Home2\Common folder to get back default home screen
- Exit Home 2
- Download cab and install (it may take a long time, because of there're many files to extract)
- Enable Home 2 again
- Select PointSense Theme (for correct color), and add the PointSenseScreen Applets.

Out of memory error messages

Recently got a diamond touch and as it was previously locked to vodafone with some apps like opera seemingly tied in decided to flash it.
anyway all working good with wm 6.5 and touch FLO 3d2 installed but now im suffering memory issues.
an exmple of this is if i try to play any youtube clip i get not enough memory please close some running programs , even though nothing else is running.
also had this happen when trying several other apps.
could it be the diamond just doesnt have enough power when it comes to internal ram and rom to run apps well enough and that im gonna have to revert back to 6.1.
anyone else had this issue or know of a workaround

Theres lots off apps you can get to free up ram on your device, some are freeware look on google, also you can try disabling any home sceen plugins like tf3d and such b4 running any resorce hungry applications, and finally check what apps boot up with windows, disabling these can allso free up ram

im running htcaddicts clean ram but even if i run that direct b4 hand on a lvl 2 pass i stil get the issues. not sure how i would disable touch flo and tbh thats not really an option as i use the programs tab to access most stuff so disabling would mean navigation changes.
Im sure ive read a post on forum about some hardware settings you can change regarding cahche settings, flushing etc but cant for life of me find it anywhere

Try Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool you should be able to use that to tinker with cache settings ect

update on this, the memory problem even after hard reset and clearing cache is still an issue
build is wm 6.5 23016
memory shows as 107.96mb
now even running or trying to run the in built game teeter gives me the exact message
Initialize teeter fail.
Memory is not enough.
this is a real puzzle as even running clean ram and clearing cache and stuff and checking in task manager nothign seems to get round this.
has anyone else experienced this issue using 6.5

Activesync issues after a virgin flash(es).

Hey guys, First off I wanna thank all the wonderful people in this awesome forum for their help in making me get the best out of my phone, truly you guys are great !
So, I did my 'research' into ROM updating and stuff (been a homebrewer on various mobile/portable devices before, just got an old WM6.1 Opal from my brother and decided to play with it )
So, I'd been using the stock WM6.1 + Manila (TouchFlow 2D) that HTC provides in India (Idea Splash Screen ROM) and a few awesome apps such as the M2DC and stuff. Loved it till I'd did something wrong with the M2DC that it stopped displaying the weather (it would show nothing but "Select your city" ). Also, I'd HSPL'd the device a while back using 2.00.cmon (ty cmonex ) So, I wanted to try a few ROMs. The first ever ROM I installed was jagan's Evolution2, it was an awesome ROM, zero bugs (except for ActiveSync; which maybe my fault), but I didn't like the button layout at the bottom of the device, I also missed Manila 2D. So I tried out Opal_WM6.5_D20_21896_WWE loving the design and stuff, but it ain't as smooth
All those gripes aside, I can't seem to get ActiveSync working at all ! With both of these ROMs, was it because I didn't remove the microSD/SIM while flashing or some other fault of mine or does 6.5 not work with Activesync 4.5. The only dialog I get when I try to get it to work is that " It needs Activesync 4.5 or later", I do have 4.5 installed, all the necessary windows components installed, etc ! I don't know why it doesn't work anymore. It used to work perfectly till I flashed these ROMs, any way I can get this to work as I need to get back a ton of contacts and stuff

What's your OS? XP, Vista, or 7??
On XP re-install Activesync and see what happens.
Vista requires an Activesync update from Microsoft, visit their site and look for it.
on Windows 7 I'm using the Evolution 2 ROM and it syncs fine right from the beginning, never had any kind of trouble.
If re-installing doesn't solve your problem, try deleting the partnership, and creating a new one.
BTW, you should try the new Evo 2.5A, it has a newer version of Manila 2D, and a different button layout.
Tell us what happens.
Good luck.

Solution on WM 6.5

I'm sorry for my english...
The problem is in the USB to PC configuration. For example, on my WM6.5 the procedure is:
1) Start --> System --> USBtoPC
2) Clear the checkbox "Enable faster data synchronization"
(Clear this check if ActiveSync does not recognize the device)
Good luck!
