hello guys,
today after making a phone call - i was stuck with a strange wallpaper on the phone (it is green with a darker plant on the right side) i think it is a defaul wallpaper ...
I thought, ok no problem I just change it to what it was before ... but I CAN`T ... whatever I do or set I am stuck with that damn wallpaper ..
i changed the Theme (I only use the default themes nothing else intalles) I even chose another wallpaper but still it does not work
when i close and reopen my phone, just before i enter the PIN, I can see the walpaper I selected for a few seconds but after I enter the PIN and the phone rly startes .. i get stuck again with the Green ugly wallpaper .
I`m rly considering to sell my TD2 and changing back to Nokia .. I simply don`t have the time to take care of this buggy phone ...
anyway, can someone give me any hints on how to solve this problem ? (that does not invole hard-reset ...)
thx

Okay.. I am normally pretty good with stuff like this but after 6 hours of trying I have found this site.
I have downloaded the programmes but none seem to leave me able to change the theme on my diamond. It will change the top and bottom bar but the home screen will not change.
Can someone please email me or spell out for me on here in simple terms how too.. as I seem to be having a really blonde day...
oh also looking for some Subaru themes thanks.
and sorry in advance if this is in the wrong place.
If you want to change ONLY the home screen back ground.. then use the wallpaper option instead.
SLIDE to Settings option from the homescreen and you will see WALLPAPER as one of the options.
Tap on that.
If you want to change the entire THEME.. here is how it is done:

Hope this helps.
About the Subaru themes... errr... I would suggest just putting up a wallpaper.
Might just take a while for someone to come up with a Subaru theme.
All the best
hi,
I found a theme it says is for my phone but unless I disable the touchflo 3D It doesnt show how its meant to.
In fact I tried for 4 hours to change my whole theme to the vodaphone red one without success... so HELP!!
Okay... I still can not make this work. when I try to run the tf3d config file all I get is the opera opening up and thats it?
Any help would be appreciated. I have took everything off and reinstalled it and it still does the same.
I was reading around through the forums and found that you need to use Manila to edit a file "4a087e41_manila" to change the background on the home screen and all the others. Well I did this and it has yet to change anything...
Any advice?
i was able to change the home wallpaper by going to the settings tap and going to wallpaper....go figure...lol
but I still want to change all the other tabs to have the same background as I am using on my home screen.
anyone?
there's a cab that will do that

well the above cab worked great, put my background on all pages, but then also set my clock to 12:59, the date to Jan 1 2008 and set my network to T-Mobile....lol (im with AT&T)
I will mess around with it and see what I can do
ok so I think i got it now.

I went there and used nisse's zip files, then I used manila editor to change the image, the trick is that the image you replace in the files that you download from nisse HAVE to be the same size, exactly 256x256.
But the only problem now is that the picture has gone over my home screen, all i have is the background there, but its only for my home tab. I may try to load a different clock and see what happens.
All i need to do now is figure out how to change what the buttons lok like in landscape mode and I will be golden
Hi,
I want to get the background of the golden theme. I searched really a lot. I manage to change background for all tabs. In settings on today I tried too, but it isn't working. I get an image on the startup, but it isn't looking like the original image... pls help. I tried to edit in manila editor to change the image, but I get an error. Everything is looking good of the golden theme, except this background is driving me nuts. nobody seems to have this problem, am I really just stupid??
here you go.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2968109&postcount=168:)
use this method,. it works every time and you don't have to have 256x256, its 512x512.
Well the cab. works greate but the slider goes to left and the clock has goten white from incolor... have you got an answer to this too?
Thanks!
Hi everyone ,need some help hope I placed it in right place.well I use open home and lt.bove it. Before I down load the themes from market place I go and look at theme on here first.but when I down load the theme and apply it ,everthings there exept the background of the dailer buttons .like when I use fade to blue .ect, the color of the dailer buttons don't change colors,stays the same .is it because my phone not rooted ? Let me know man glad for open home and everyone makeing themes and stuff thanks.
The open home(and the others) will only change whats on your home screen. It will not change anything else on the phone. If you want to do that you need to root your phone and load a theme that way.
hey thanks for the info.i thought thats why .will have to root it soon but happy with all of whats been coming out !!!!!!!!!!!!thanks
Hello, is it possible to implement "HTC quietly brilliant" to the standard HTC bootscreen ?
Are the standard bootscreen connected together? (I mean HERO + HTC animations ) or two GIF's side by side?

I'll try to do it alone

they are two single gifs. look in /system/media/bootscreen.
Would be really good if we can apply this, its a really nice bootscreen im bored of the Hero one
i don't think you can use it as a splashscreen. the splashscreen is the very first screen to appear, usually your operator's logo (or the operator who sold the phone, i.e. t-mobile for me). this is a static picture, and can be updated since paul released the hacked spl.
the bootscreen is by default the two androids popping up behind the "hero", and then the sparkling htc logo. this can be replaced. give me two minutes, i'll make you an update.zip...
edit: no luck, the gif somehow doesn't work as a bootscreen. if you could find it in / change it to 320x480 it might work though.
Thanks for having ago, i really dunno where to start with all of this, have you tried changin the size? i dont have a carrier animation as i have MoDaCos rom.

hm, you don't get it. the carrier logo is not animated. it is shown for 40-45 seconds as the first picture when the phone is started. maybe it is the htc's stock picture, the hero writing. it just sits there, then quickly fades out and back in, and then the little androids come out. the moment where it fades is when the splashscreen is changed to the bootscreen. in this case they are just the same picture, except the bootscreen being animated.
the splashscreen can only be a static image.
the bootscreen can be up (or more?) three animated gifs, fullscreen or cropped with another (probably static, didn't test animated) gif for the background. you can loop the last image or just let it sit at the last frame. look into /system/media/bootscreen, and check the contents of the boot_animation.xml, it is pretty self-explainatory.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=582336&highlight=bootscreen
have a look into the stock_bootscreen_nosound.zip, it is the original stock htc bootscreen (not splashscreen!). the bootscreen can be applied via update.zip or adb push, the splashscreen must be written in fastboot mode as it is kind of a "low-level" image presentation. this is also the reason why the image must be rgb565-coded before flashing. on modaco there is a howto for the splashscreen, which needs the modified hboot (also called spl) for the hero just released by paul.
this should do it, hope this helps
edit: i tried changing the size, but somehow the gif looks wired when i open it with gimp, it seems to destroy all the animation timing... should be possible though.
Thanks for explaining all that, GIFs are tricky but very effective, i dont really have time to look into all that u described, but thanks for having a go. I just hope someone that may have more experience with the hero may do it. I dont know where to find a file explorer for the hero on windows.
Thanks
Here ya go. But for some odd reason, it doesn't show up correctly. Dunno why. I just made it into an animated gif with the right size.
tristan it works what you made?
Not exactly. It works fine on the pc, but when put on the phone it flickers. I don't have the knowhow to get it to work, but I thought that if I uploaded the gif, soeone with the wits could fix it.
I am having the same issue, tristan202. I edited and moved the tattoo boot animation ( HERE ) but when flashed to the phone, it gets garbled and looks weird.
I made the animation in Flash CS4.
Anybody know the solution to this?
i wanna usee it hoepfully somebody can make it work
can't delete bootlogo :[
when making the nexus bootscreen i found out that the gif needs to be 255 color indexed mode. 128 colors won't work, for example. what seems to work is to use rgb files, throw them together in gimp, and let it do the indexing automatically when exporting. source material needs to be rgb (at least the first image), otherwise the result will be using the palette of the first image, which will make the rest of the frames look like crap.
I'm having issues with a wallpaper saved from the gallery. Most of the times it will stick, but about 20% of the time the default red circuit board wallpaper will return. Phone is still functional and if I put it to sleep then reawake, most of the times my gallery wallpaper will return. Really odd. Happens sometimes right after I save a new wallpaper or sometimes later that day after multiple "wake ups".
I was thinking of locating the default wallpapers and placing my pics in there, but if I pick one of the other stock wallpapers, it has done it there, too. Right back to the default circuit board.
Have not rooted my phone yet ... waiting on SBF plus I wanted to do a thorough shakedown on a "pure" device.

Yeah i've seen this. I just reapply my adw.ex theme (honeycomb) and it's better.
