MORT is for the MP3 player the album art, needs to be putted on root of Device/Storage Card. If you have another language make the folder Storage Card in the root of your device
S2PMortscripts contains the script commands for the MP3 player, this can be on your storage card as well
From Lockscreen slide upwards to start. First bug: in application/my favorites go to author mode/page/properties/pinned items and selecet "home" otherwise you can't get out of it​
Here some images how it looks like made in photoshop, of course the numbers of mail, sms, missed calls, weather information, battery info, memory info etc etc will be visible as well:
I have a Dutch device, so you might need to change the paths of the programs to your own settings.​​
If you use other programs(3 pages by sliding for 18 of your favorite programs)/games in favorites just use icons and change picture/program. Need more Game/Applications Icons??? Let me know in this topic, not by PM please​
The theme can be used Free of Charge, however, if you like it, please consider to donate a beer, I spend around 100 hours making this.​
Cheers,
Arnold

2 suggestions:
- maybe change the battery icon, i dont think it fits in quite well with all the other images for the theme (maybe a power plant or something )
- move the update button for the weather at the bottom. i believe it would be better that way, because i suppose most of us would like to see todays weather first of all and then anything else..
good job, i like it a lot!

Looks very nice, a new concept.
In games hub may be you can import all those games present in games folder.
And in application hub is it possible for u to introduce a carosel, need programming i think.

thank you guys, I now changed the battery icon (see start post), I couldn't find a proper picture at first, now i found a nice nuclear explosition....seems to be enough energy comes free by that for running your phone for the next couple of centuries.
I wil be out now and back tomorrow, so I will reply, but not sooner than tomorrow.
Cheers,
Arnold

looks amazing

thanks, I will finish it soon ;-)
Cheers,
Arnold

hehe i see your using the samsung player. Theme looks good, i don't see how all the tabs work together yet. I guess i have to wait for release and try it out. Keep it up.

Really nice poll, please upload a video!!

what device is this for? very promising

really like the weather concept

Excellent as always, nice work

A new UI... damn, you are so productive...
Don't stop... wait for video demo...
Good job !

thank you all for the replies and the nice words!
I have an idea now for the games section which I will work out today, quite a few hours of photoshopping, but if it turns out the way it is in my head it will be quite good. Wife is at work and with 2 kids around I wonder if I can finish that today.
Than I have to work out the application layout which also will cost time.
When I finished all the graphics, I have to put in all the information in the theme and after that making a video. As you can see, it take some time to finish it, but the longer it takes, the better it will be
The only thing is I am out of the trial time with the converter to flv, so I am not sure yet I can upload the video to youtube. But I will try hard to find something.
Let's do some serious Google imaging and photoshopping now to get on with it;-) When a new section is done I will add the looks of it in the startpost by placing a new overview picture.
Keep posted.
Cheers,
Arnold

Games wallpaper finished. Quite happy with it the way it is.
Updated in Post one. Now making for each section icons for the most common games in each catagory. That will take some time.
EDIT: Also Applications first page is ready. At Personal Favorites you switch to a page where you can add your favorite programms to it.
Cheers,
Arnold

do you have any other examples of your work o/t
on topic
wow on a touch hd2...awesome
do you plan on giving users a lock screen

This is my first complete theme, however I made a lot of icons ans wallpapers before for the WP7 themes which are around here on XDA.
If people want I can make a lockscreen as first page as well.
I don't know how many want it, so I will start a poll ;-))))
Cheers,
Arnold

a lockscreen like wp7 (slide up in wad) would be stellar actually

okay, thanks for your input.
Forgot totally the calendar into this theme, so I changed Twitter to Calendar as you can see in first post.
Cheers,
Arnold

all of these apps are available free on this forum - Search!
i think it would be best if you could post the files here so as to help others immediately and give them instructions on how to go about making their XDA pretend to be iphone, or have iphone-like interface.
by the way, iphone like keyboard = PocketCM keyboard, use Iphone layout and skin.

here are the additional files
pcmkeyboard-> iphone keyboard
custome iphone icons-> additional iphone icons. i can't uploaded when it was in .rar so I just added .zip, i just renamed instead of re-compressing it. so just rename and remove .zip before you extract. for additional icons, you can just google it or create your own. I have another file which iphone_en, i think this file was for the phone interface but it's 2mb so i can't uploaded.
The first file i uploaded which was last fiel in the first post, the iphone classic is supposed to be iphone_en, anyway just check it out.
in behalf of those people who downloaded, THANK YOU, im still sticking to my my modified RL Today, SPB Mobile Shell and SPB Pocket Plus for my today.
hey folks, how about some screen shots on how IPHONE your XDA now is. i seen about 20 downloads on the average, so screenshots anyone?
Danke schön.

I really wanted to post screens shot even before I uploaded the files but I find it troublesome, if you don't mind, give me your emails and I'll send you a video demo instead...
Can somebody please tell me where to put the files for
- Gslide
- Icontacts
- S2p
I extracted them but im not sure what to do with them, i have used a readme for other files and they explained where to put them, but these dont say where to place/paste to.
Help would be appreciated
Where to put
Actually you can just put them anywhere but I suggest you extract them to your memory card. after that, just click on the executable file. Probably you were expecting that a link will be created on you group of programs but it But I guess it does not so you just have to create a link for that and place it in wherever you want to access it.

Gif Editor for Laptop

Hi Guys,
Can anyone suggest a free gif editor for win xp pro? I want to edit gif files from the internet to a more suitable size for use on here and in other apps?
The gifs i will be editing arent big complex ones, but small and simple so im not after paint shop or anything
Any suggestions on a free one? Been through google and seen many many programs that say "free" but you know what its like!! (free for a time...)
So im open to ideas?
By GIFs, do you mean animated or stationary? Because if it's just stationary .gif files, then GIMP, or even Windows Paint should suffice. It is a free, open source program that is, although not as good as Photoshop, still pretty excellent for its price tag. Just make sure you download the Windows version and not the Linux version. However, if you wanted to edit animated GIFs, I think you have to pay, as I could not find a single program in google that does it for free. I ran into the same problem as you did, where a program would say FREE!!! and then turn out to be a trial.
Dave
lol nice one Mike
Thanks for the advice, very useful!
I use
gimp for stuff like people would use photoshop
I use
paint.net for less complex stuff
I use
irfanview for simple edit like size and colours and such and viewing all my images
all which are free
I use gif animator, its not free like you asked but it is pretty fab. You can download a free trial of it, I think its for 30 days. x
yip, paint.net is pretty cool! cheers, and id forgotten about irfanview
Would someone here be willing to take my existing banner that I am using for my web page and turn it into a GIF animation for me ? i would be willing to send a few cold ones your way for your troubles..all I need is for the kart in the bannerp to be shown with the rear tires spinning with a little smoke coming off them , and then for it to take off across the banner from left to right , it would be a looping banner
let me know if you can be of help
Sweet....I am going to send you a pm with a link
the banner that I am currently using..
Thanks..
Thanks Mike, I just realized that I do not have any sideview or 3/4 view pictures of the kart itself, and no separate pic's of the kart itself , so i have to wait to hear from the guy who designed the art work first..
but once a again thank you....I will post back once I have everything that is needed..
You can go to www.OVKA.com and look at the very top and let me know, the image is 900px × 113px and 31.21 KB (31962 bytes) in size.
The kart under the OVKA is what i am talking about

So, You Want a Cup of Joe, Let's Talk

So you say you want a cup of Joe, or a MilkShake, or some other secret code word for a lil’ something in your PayPal account for your work, creativity and energy? Hey, this NEWBIE is all for it – hell, I’m glad to donate; but I be needed some help!
Where I’m at – right now, the Midwest USA, Omaha Nebraska to be specific. Where I’m at with my phone / HH device – it is a work issued HTC Touch Pro. I’ve had it about 3 months now, Alltel is my carrier and it came with a CRAP boring, dull grey Theme that can’t be changed, allegedly, when I’m using the Touch Flo3D.
Work offers several carriers; Verizon guys with the same phone have a much cooler “stock” theme – and oh sure, I can mess with the Today setting and get some goop red called Guava Bubbles to linger above and below in the bands, but mostly, it really sucks. Plus, the damn thing is slow – I hit my 4 code password and 1 out of 4 times the damn thing says I have the wrong PW – no I don’t you beyotch, I KNOW my password. Weather? I can UbitchInStein in Upper Mongolia but not the town I grew up in, Boulder Colorado, WTF is up with that?
I know just enough about technology to be dangerous – I can find the ROM versions and all that stuff, navigate config files a little, copy files using Active Sync and so on – and hey, my RingTones rock (http://sites.google.com/site/bcwsite4now/Home/filecabine) I can strip the hell out of a DVD, edit using Adobe Premier Elements and you might laugh your ass off if you know the movie scenes.
But for the life of me I can’t figure out this deal I downloaded called Manila Editor from Sascha Lange and Dimitry (you guys sound like Russian mob, please don’t kill me) - and now I’m reading this Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [1 Nov] New Version thread from Gramps or Grumps or the Gimp from Pulp Fiction (see Ringtone reference) above and it starts to look like I am getting close – Clocks, Icons, Sliders – hmm, that’s what I want, and really cool ones!!
So I DL and UZ a bunch of stuff from some thread and now I have some cool looking graphics in a bunch of folders on my PC that look like they work together in a TouchFlo 3D setting, but I have no friggin idea how to get them from my hard drive to my phone without brickin’ the damn phone; remember, work issue phone. {http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202}
Plus, over at PPC Geeks or some other board, they were all hot on some TouchFlo 3D speeder upper program and steps with a new Stock Watcher Icon using the 3G network and a better Weather app; so I PM a dude over there about 45 days ago and he tells me, “yo, newbie, read a bunch and then PM me back.”
Dude, I have 3 kids, all under 6 and a wife who likes me to do dishes once in awhile, read a bunch of stuff on Google and THEN ask for help? No thanks, I’d rather pay your arse. So, the end of my story goes like this – who wants to help me and what is your price?
Can I make my own icons, sliders and clock graphics using PhotoShop or some other program? If so, what sizes should I aim for in each at what resolution?
How do I get all the cool **** on my PC now to my phone? Say I wanted to pick one of the themes, I think, like Panosha Shine 2.2 on my phone and ditch Mister Alltel BoreMeToFngTearsGrey?
What can I do to speed this ***** up? Add the Stock Application, and make the Weather App a little bit more relevant to my small Midwest World?
My dream phone, and your personal challenge: A faster HTC Touch Pro with a rocking U2 theme in black, red and grey or white that snags icons from the album All That You Can’t Leave Behind or How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb and a cool clock that uses the font from the album War circa 1982 – hey, I’m old. It will have this much rumored, never seen by me improved Weather App and this Stock Market app so I can watch my 401K tank to 187K 24/7.
If someone can make all that happen, Monster Size Milkshakes and Jumbo Coffee all around!
Thanx for reading my rant.
No PMs plz – email [email protected]
87 Views, not 1 response or Email?
Is there a better site for folks like me -- was the potential for milkshakes and joe offensive?
I thought it was funny; maybe it wasn't? And, no comments on the Pulp Fiction ringtones??
Someone help me with the nuances of a programmer's onlline community -- there is talent out here galore; maybe I'm just 'lookin' for love in all the wrong places' -- figure of speech only.
In the immortal words of Jim Rome, Newbie is out!
I think you should try NRG's Energy ROM. It's already customized with a slew of tweaks and additional software. In addition to that you can use Showaco's BBExtreme theme for TF3D2. It's gonna take SOME reading to learn about your device so you don't brick it...and if that's gonna be a problem then I'll tell ya like I told my dad.....just get an iPhone. They're already setup outta the box with very little understanding required
1) Flash HardSPL to your device. Only have to do this once.
2) Flash EnergyROM 04052009 version. Link is on 1st page of his thread. I always flash from the sd card...safer, easier, faster, more portable. Simply plug your device into computer with usb cable and select disk drive. Copy 'RAPHIMG.nbh' to the root of storage card. Make a backup of everything. Then:
Hold down the Volume Down key while u press and release the reset button. Follow directions on the screen. After the screen appears for you to tap and align the screen, Hard Reset (Hold Vol down + Center button, then press and release reset button)
3) Copy BBExtreme cab to your storage card and click it to install. Soft reset, and you're done.
I'm afraid others are just as busy as you. I have 5 week-old twins at home and I read these forums while holding a bottle in their mouths. It's highly unlikely that anyone is going to spend hours to customize your device for you, and then provide customer service for the things that don't work exactly as they should. It takes time to learn these devices, I've been at it for over 5 years and still consider myself a noob. Good luck

Don't flash any gsm rom to a cdma device (Alltel) you will brick it. you might want to try ppcgeeks for your phone http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68
Thanks man, forgot Alltel was CDMA.
modding your phone takes a fair amount of reading and research. i understand that you're busy but theres not much other than that we can tell you. i started out http://blownfuze.org/ there and read pretty much the whole page before i even started. And even with just that website i wasnt satisfied.
spend some time reading that website, get an idea of what on there you like, and start from there. install a ROM (i suggest EnergyROM) and go from there. it takes a lot of reading before you know what you're doing. and dont ever assume you know how to fix something, its safer to look it up here than to try it. liek if you dont know how to install a ROM, theres a beginners guide. dont just try stuff. thats how you brick your phone.
you can change the stock theme i have an altell TP and i changed the TF3D theme a couple times- do a search for touch pro themes there was a thread with a bunch of them find one you like and you can load it with a program called Diamond TF3D Config- there are a lot of good free themes but probably not one just what you described
looks like you already found some themes i think they came in a zip when i did mine, put them on your phone not in a folder just the first menu then load with the program from above, just search and you will find that program
Installing a theme won't brick your phone, but it's a good idea to back everything up prior to messing with manila. Try out fuzeberry or onyx or any of the themes listed here or in the Diamond themes forum. Since it's a work phone, flashing roms may not be such a great idea. Dear lord, if you do, DO NOT FLASH ENERGY ROM!!!!! As mentioned above, it will brick your phone. Go over to geeks and try out Mighty Rom or Jughead rom or whatever catches your fancy.
You might look up giannis86 here. He's got a ton of really cool icons, and he's done some custom jobs for folks. Maybe he'll work 4 food. Anyway, I laughed my ass off.

I have a whole bunch of stuff to read and get lost in -- so thank you very much.
I have scanned the responses, but don't think any answered the PhotoShop Question -- can I somehow make my own slider icons (Home, Music, Message) etc using PhotoShop and then try (I'll be back for help) to get the graphics into one of them "#4875-manila" files?
Graphic size?
Resolution?
Best file format? JPG?
Do I need an up and down state, similar to a rollover on a web-nav button? (Ohhhh, the newbie knows rollover up-state -- maybe he's more than just a RingTone guy)
Thanks again!

Yeah, you can make your own icons. Like I said before, look up giannis86, and in his profile look up all the threads he started. Grab one of his icon packs, and look at the files with manila editor. You'll be able to figure out the correct sizes and resolutions.

This addon for photo shop will allow you to edit/save png files.
CFC GUI (you'll have to search on here for it). Will let you get the graphics files out of the manila files and also put them back in after editing.
As far as sizes, I usually just open one of the files up check the size and then open a new file and set the canvas that size. They are all different sizes depending on what icon your editing.

Newbie here-- I'll add my Congrats on the Twins.
Our twins turn 6 Thursday the 16th ; best 6 years of my life; just about to "graduate" from Kindergarten. Carson is our boy, Olivia the girl -- she won the "lose the first tooth" contest today.
My2 cents on twins -- get them sleeping and eating on the same schedule -- its easy after that!
Enjoy.

▐▀▄▀▄▀▄▌(Major Update:1/4/11) A BUNCH OF WP7 SKINS FOR COMMON PROGRAMS!!!!
Here are some great skins for Skinning Your WM device for the WP7 look and feel
These skins are great especially if you use any type of WP7 launcher as your today screen
they really compliment the idea of having the new look of WP7 with the Functionality of our Great WM DEvices

as a result i have added a black and grey version to a majority of the skins i have
enjoy
iContact
WP7 Grey
WP7 Blue
iDialer
WP7 Grey
WP7 Blue
(1/3/11) ADDED... iAgenda WP7!!!!
WP7 Grey
WP7 Blue
to install:
i have included both a blue and grey version of each of the skins in each of the zip files
for the iagenda and icontact skin download the corresponding skins to their individual program folder locations and you can select it through each of their setting apps.
for idialer skins remember which ever skin you want to use rename the .png to "default.png" for it to work
enjoy and feel free to leave requests as i will be releasing more themes for iContact soon!!!!
I have also released a great new theme for a very finger friendly and intuitive file explorer
it is called throttle explorer.. if you've never heard of it i highly recommend it..

im not sure could be corrupt i guess ....
make sure you did not click save image as otherwise it will save as a png file but without transparency...
im using practically the same device.. should be no prob...
i will repakage the icontact and idialer skins in to one zip file ...
then try again... if it doesnt work again the only thing i can think of is you are using a different version of icontact.....
some guy took it over and redid it as opposed to the original but i was pretty sure they both use the same skinning process
edit.. saw your edit... lol

if you installed icontact.. it should be located either in
\start menu\settings\system settings\ icontact settings.lnk
or find it in the program files folder where you installed it there should be a exe called icontact settings.exe
good luck!!!!!
I wonder if it avaiable on QVGA screen?

yeah it works every so often when i have fireslaves theme on ... been having the same issue..
im actually looking through a couple of different programs that allow you to remap the hardware keys to launch specific programs...
so if i use it the send key will alwys take me to idialer or icontact ...
wouldnt even need the green button program...
when i find a good one and test it i will send you a link...

Dear Trekfan422991,
I downloaded both “iDIAL” & “iCONTACT” CAB files prior to downloading the “Intui-tech Intui-Skins.cab” from http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ onto my HTC HD2 device.
However, I have serious misgivings about the way these applications are offered to the user. I have no doubts that these applications are very useful and indeed do look very nice on the Internet site.
But, the instructions are hazy, misleading and frustrating. For one; a CAB file should be constructed in a way that the user won’t have to apply various other steps in addition to the actual installation in order to make the app work.
If however there is the need for some extra steps taken during and/or after the installation, they should be clearly described in a logical sequence. This is clearly missing from this application.
To be more precise, for a start there are problems with the “iDIAL” & “iCONTACT” applications. Once lodged there is no command to close down these applications other than pressing the return hardware button, which doesn’t really closes these apps. Furthermore, the instruction in “Intui-tech Intui-Skins” that one should use the settings; there are no such function exists in those two apps.
Sure, once I read in your blogs that there are some PNG files to deal with, the issue became a bit clearer, and at the same time more confusing as well, because from the “Intui-tech Intui-Skins” installation guide these were missing.
By this time one really sorry that started the whole business and wishes to remove these apps from the device. Alas, they do not appear under the “Remove Application” list, thus one has to remove them manually from the File Explorer.
Weather or not they left some traces behind is an open question. As to the “Intui-tech Intui-Skins”, it doesn’t appear anywhere in the device, thus it cannot be removed it seems…
I wish that such half-baked applications will not appear on these WM sites, and especially not when the instructions are misleading. I hope that my criticism will be taken as a positive one…

it really sounds to me like you think i made the icontact and idialer apps .....umm.. i did not i only released a couple of skins for them
btw the idialer is th one that doesnt have a setting app and i explained this in my first post on this thread
you can find the icontact setting app under system settings on your device
those instructions for settings and skins and stuff can be found on the actual developers website..
my skins are intended for people who already own icontact and idialer and know how to use them

the only reason i created a cab... (my first cab ever actually)
was to make it easier to place ONE IMAGE EACH in the icontact and idialer program file folder
all my cab does is essentially place an image in a folder
no uninstall was provided for them because it is just one image for each program
and if you know how to change your settings in icontact you dont have to uninstall it just simply select the default skin instead..

in acouple of hours my downloads on fwppc.net have gotten to about 600 downloads and i have no idea how many here
i dont see some one trying to provide constructive criticism but someone very confused about the applications they have downloaded to their device and the developer who created them
what i have taken though positively is i definetly need to provide more information and download at own risk warnings..
so thankyou
hello, I am using icontact BE but this skin doesn't work.. I put the image under the skins folder but it is not available at settings. It's too bad because I was looking for a wvga skin for it, there ara only vga skins...
If you have any idea, please tell me.
Trek.
Awesome job on this skin man. I installed it and it looks outstanding. Goes great with the dark look I shoot for with my phone. Thanks a bunch!
Looks good brother...
