Black Manila theme here:
You Tube app is missing and a CAB is needed desprately. Can anyone help?

So I guess you compact IV owners dont want the You Tube and Windows Live Messenger apps?

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.
Hey guys,
I liked the Manilla 2d, but i got frustrated since most of the functions wont use my default apps and since most of the functions utilize a data connection which im not paying for. I tried remove the app. However, some of the logos on the start menu still show up from the old manilla 2d theme. Occasionally the vibrate icon will be the M2D version which is annoying because it has a separate layout I dont like.
I tried to remove the M2D by using the settings> system>remove programs, but it fails after trying for like 10 minutes. So what I did was I went to start>settings>system>today and I unchecked touchflo and i checked HTC Home and HTC Home Plugin, but now I still see the volume control from manilla 2d. Help me get rid of Manilla.
Side Note: Manilla 2d is a great theme, but Im only on a unlimited messaging plan so i cant make use of the weather, maps, and youtube functions. Furthermore it refuses to use my defaulted contact manager or text messaging manager.
Use a ROM without M2D.
Info is helpful...what ROM are you using?
I hate to be this guy, but i used a hard reset to get rid of my M2D and now it runs just fine. Remember to back everything up and you'll be ok. Take the jump! :]
att stock rom wm6.1

This sounds like it might be the only option at this point. Might I recommend PIM Backup to back up all of your info.
As stated in the M2D thread "IF YOU USE THESE BETA FILES EXPECT TO DO HARD RESETS EACH TIME A NEW UPDATE COMES OUT"
This would apply to uninstalling M2D as well.
So I installed the TouchFlo3d2 stuff by xboxmod today and I'm having a couple issues with it. First when it goes to load it says that the touchflo failed to load and I have to tap the screen to try again. After tappin the touchflo loads up but the screen doesn't respond to touch very well for like 5 minutes. Second it seems clunky. Even after the touch screen starts working it's not as smooth as I'm sure it should be. Lastly whenever I try to go to the weather tab and update the weather it totally reboots touchflo and doesn't even grab the weather info.
Most likely I did something wrong. Any ideas? Should I uninstall this and try again? If so which things do I uninstall/reinstall?
On the flipside everything looks very nice and I like it alot better than the stock touchflo. Big props to xboxmod.
Thanks for the help.
Ben
Actually you can get all the help & fixes for all of those problems from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493531
I have followed the instructions very cafefully and I have it working w/o flaw with the exception of the world clock issue (which can't be totaly fixed till the TF3D2 port from the official TP2 Rom which XBMOD and others are working on right now.
I will tell you that I have a vzw Touch Pro flashed with scott's ROM (20764 build) http://www.sskusers.com
I had the same problem. Just reinstall and it should be fine.
i had a skin installed,i.e a cab file.earlier i installed skins on my viva(opal)without any error but now it shows 'Tap Here to launch touchflo' and then even after tapping nothing happens..the phone just shows 'initialising touchflo' message and then again says 'tap here....'.any1 have a solution for this.pls help.
so do u want the touch flow or not?
ya of course i want the touchflo its so cool.pls sum1 help.
Solution:Tap Here to launch touchflo error
If you have M2D customizer, just open it & go to Launcher tab then change settings to Number of Columns: Three and Number of Rows: Six. Apply and ok.
One Solution
Another solution is....well let me change the course of thought...theres a new today screen plug-in that strikes a similar look to TouchFlo but with a cooler look Check it out.

Hello!
So I am having some problems with my X1. It is laggy and it freezes pretty often. Sometimes I have to remove the battery many times in a day becouse of freezing. And writing with hardware keyboard isn't very nice anymore becouse the letter are coming to screen with delay and sometimes it skips over some letters. Then I have also had some weird problems sometimes that when someone calls to me and I try to answer the phone it just disconnects the call. And phone has freezed couple of times on its own without I've done anything with it. Once it didn't wake me up in the morning becouse it had freezed during night. So I really can't trust this machine at the moment.
I did hard reset couple of months ago becouse I had some similar problems before. Now it is not so bad but still annoying. I am considering buying new phone but I like this one and if there is way to make it work it would be nice.
So I am using Windows Mobile 6.1 original version and I haven' done any modifications. Just using mobile shell panel and couple other software. So I would like to get my phone stable and reliable again.
they sound like all the problems i've had with a custom rom! this never happened to me on 6.1 :S did you ever flash any custom roms before then go back to 6.1?

No I've never used custom rom. Although I bought this phone used little bit over year ago so I can't know for sure if previous owner had tried out some custom rom. But I still doubt it. This phone was just couple of months old when I bought it.
You have any ideas how to get rid of these problems?
Have you tried reflashing your rom using SEUS? Another advice I can give you is to install a decent task manager that shows all running processes. Maybe there is some kind of software running in the background that destabilizes your phone. Check Windows\StartUp to see if your phone loads any additional programs during the boot sequence.

Thanks for your input altae!
I haven't tried reflashing rom. I have no idea how it works. So if you could give me some kind of clear step by step instructions or link. And does it remove all the saved data in the phone?
And I checked Windows/Startup folder and there are four items in there.
Paneldefault
panelmanager
Panolauncher
RunGNAgent
I am using Panoramic launchpad so the Panolauncher belongs to that program. Panoramic launchpad is quite nice program but I think it is little bit buggy. Should I remove it? But I don't hve idea what are the other programs. I've used xperiatweak to change the startup panel to the mobile shell so I think "Paneldefault" and "panelmanager" could refer that perhaps?
edit:And btw here is list of programs I've installed.
Panoramic Launchpad
Spb Mobile shell
Spb Keyboard
Resco explorer
Clifford's XperiaTweak
Resco photoviewer pro
CoreCodec CorePlayer
Burrotech Scan2PDF
Aidem Pocket Painter
Spb TV
Viksoe.dk Flite
DS-Info DiamondTV
Adisasta wmTorrent v3
PPCLINK HiCalc
+All the original X1 programs
Paneldefault belongs to Xperia Tweak. It loads the default panel you have set. Panelmanager is what it's called, the panelmanager Panolauncher could indeed be a reason for your problems. Why don't you delete the entry in the startup folder. You can still launch it manually. I don't know RunGNAgent.
To reflash your rom got to SE website and download SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Software) from the support section. It explains step by step how to update. Post the results and we will see how to proceed.
Do a hard-reset or flash to one of the custom ROMs. Is it just me or does these things happen inevitably? Seems like the case for me. I hard-reset once every few months.
