The Helvetica Fonts that are stock in the ROM file kill one of the programs that i use on a day to to day bases. The reason - that program (E-Sword) will NOT read a font file that has any #'s in it. Is there a way of clearing out just the fonts? I love how 6.5 runs!

I think nue made a font pack or a small program to change your system default fonts. Search using the link in my sign.
What problems are you having? I use Pocket E-Sword frequently and have never had any problems. I have been using 6.5 ROM's for quite a while. Please let me know what you are experiencing and I will see if I can duplicate it. Take care!
The issue
E-Sword will seem to want to load up, then it will just stop loading and go back to the same screen that i was in. I discovered this problem when i first flashed my phone from the 6 to 6.1 (a while ago!!!!) and i came to the understanding that if the fonts in Windows/fonts had any numbers in either the file name, or in the font name, that E-Sword will not load up. I would use Total Commander to remove the extension of the font so that i could erase the font file. Then E-Sword will work. Well, now since i flashed to the 6.5, i noticed that the program would not load up. I searched, and found out that there is about 6 ttf fonts in Windows, and thus i tryed to remove the extesion, but since it is a ROM file, i was unsuccessful. I tryed three custom ROMS (I do build my own) and was unsuccessfull of getting rid of those fonts out of Windows. Well, that is the problem. Thanks for the input.

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.
OK people, I am running 1.93 stock rom, but i installed the old .30 manila as i wanted the old fancy animations. However, i have a problem with this version, the SMS font size is too big, making reading long messages troublesome (have to open windows inbox). I tried Diamond TF3D Config but there was no option to change the font size.
Can someone help me or tell me how to change the SMS font size to that of the version of Manila in the 1.93 rom?
Here's the old version of manila i am using:
http://theloanranger.romraid.com/tlr-manila.cab
Thanks in advance, and please don't attack me lol, i'm pretty new to this stuff, just got my Diamond on Friday.
Sorry if i posted in the wrong forum, mod please move it if you have to. Thanks
Hi there,
I've just managed to install a SwiftBL 7.5 ROM on my touch diamond. I've noticed that the font size in Contacts have now increased and when u 'swoosh' ur finger left or right on the TF3D interface (to go to the adjacent tab), there is no longer that slick animation.
Does anybody know how to make the font size in Contacts go back to the normal size (smaller)? And how would I turn back on that animation?
I do realise that the animation will slow everything down but I don't mind. With Contacts, the font size is too big so my contacts' number (displayed below their names) have '...' added to the end and so I cannot see their full phone numbers.
Many thanks in advance!
To change the font size, goto settings --> screen --> font, and adjust it there.
The lack of animation is inherent in all the new 1.93 ROMs, whether they be official or cooked. There's no getting them back unless you revert to the older original ROMs.

Yes I think it's just a complete copy of all the manila files from a 1.37 ROM and then copied over the top of a 1.93 ROM. There may be slightly more too it than that though..
I do remember seeing a cab file for it somewhere... Yep... I think it is here: http://theloanranger.romraid.com/tlr-manila.cab

I've managed to fix the font problem tho so...thank you!
I'll try install the TF3D config program and use the HTC black theme from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409901
so ok..installed the HTC black theme using TF3D..The side and background animation didn't come back but instead, I get fade in and out (background stays the same) but the TF3D bar at the bottom now animates.
Next I'll try this!
http://rapidshare.com/files/140844219/Diamond_manila_by_Swtos.cab
oh actually...i just realised that the tlr_manila installation probably failed because I didn't turn off TF3D before I ran the cab file -_-'' i'll give it a try later.....
ok that worked! I had to turn off TF3D first before running the tlr_manila.cab file.
Now does anybody know why ActiveSync keeps coming back in the task manager?! I close it and a few moments later, it's there again!!

As far as I'm aware, ActiveSync runs constantly whether it shows in any task manager or not... I may be wrong, but I think it needs to be running or it won't detect that you've just connected to your PC? I'm sure a more enlightened individual will correct me if I'm wrong
old manilla bug i think, though it is still present in the newer roms too i believe
How´s the animation working? No bugs? Does it stutter?

I've seen so many great theme on this forum and i wanted to try them all. However, I'm a very simple guy with a lot of expectation and I like the original black theme, but I want a full tabs theme.
I searched around, but found nothing except for GODZSON's 14 tabs theme... but no picture, so I can't really tell which to download.
So I was wondering if anyone seen a 14 or 15 tabs theme around... with the original black theme?

Thought of that, but I don't like the transparent background of the tabs... and most of the time, installing a new theme solves a lot of problems for me... beside there's only 10 tabs in v4.1
Here's the files to make any theme 14 tabs. Install the cab file will give you calendar, commMgr, and call history. I didn't make the cab, just passing it along. The other manila file has the edit for the sounds tab added to it. Just copy it into windows AFTER installing cab.

Unfortunatelly this has crashed my TF3D (MDA Vario IV)
In recent releases of manila HTC introduced feature that forces digital clock to go back one hour and two minutes to play animation everytime you display home screen.
Some people like that while others don't. So if you want to get rid of this unnecessary animation (leaving `standard` flip when time really changes) here is the way:
CAB method
Simply download and install cab file corresponding to your manila version.
ZIP method
Download modified file for your version of manila (see below).
Disable TF3D (or HTC Sense) in Today settings.
Backup file you're gonna overwrite in next step (just in case
Unpack downloaded file to windows directory on your device (replace original).
Enable TF3D in today settings.
If TF3D doesn't start within few seconds, do a softreset.
If TF3D still won't start, restore your original file.
2.1 WVGA: ZIP CAB
2.5 WVGA: ZIP CAB
2.5 VGA: ZIP CAB
stock AT&T Tilt2: ZIP CAB
Notes:
I'm not a flashing freak, so the only rom i tested it myself is TESS, therefore i cannot guarantee it will work on your device. However i see modified files spreading around forums and many people says it's working.
If you're unlucky and provided file doesn't match your manila, you may still try to patch yours with my online patcher (still experimental)
buy me a shelby gt 350 ;]

Ah, works great on my Topaz with Dutty's HG R0 (Manila 2.5). Many thanks mate, that animation was really annoying!
Oha, without this animation the system consumpts less memory... now, with your mod 49% of RAM is used, before it was around 53-55%. Great!
What would need to be done to make this compatible for VGA?
Was looking for smth like this thanks so much!
Working great on my Topaz and Duttys HGR1.
Thank you very much!!!
Is working great with Laurentius26 WM6.5 V3, ROM.
Thanks for this.
It was indeed something which came back in all roms.

I'll keep that in mind if i ever update the way it is patched
but for now i don't consider it critical and so you'll have to live with it ( i suppose you don't reboot too often ;p )

Meanwhile, you are right that it is not a critical bug, we can live with it.

Does this stop the weather from re-animating?
no. set custom wallpaper if you want to disable weather animation
Hi Empeka,
Thank you for the fix.
The clock isn't flipping anymore great!

Thank you for the fix too.
Working fine on my HD with Sh3lby's 1.3 ROM.

Tested on EnergyRom on Sprint CDMA touch pro. It works, but it kinda screws up the rain animation for the first few seconds. Some of the rain drops that are supposed to appear before the wiper clears the screen are missing and the animations get a little laggy. Other than that, it seems to work fine.
Edit: After watching the animations a few more times, i noticed that the raindrops aren't missing. The problem is that they don't fall onto the screen in the rain animation, they just pop up onto the screen.
