O2 Theme

Can someone please post the O2.tsk file that summiter built into his 2.3 ROM? I can't seem to find that exact one anywhere and I no longer have that ROM installed because it drops too many calls.

Is this what you are looking?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=53736&highlight=theme

Nope, unfortunately the ones in the rar file in that thread aren't the same one that's in summiter's 2.3 ROM.
If you have the 2.3 ROM loaded, you should be able to just grab the O2.tsk file from the Windows folder. Or at least I would hope thats all it will take.

Better late than never.

OK, after a morning of being pretty successful at finding info and getting new toys to work, I guess it's now my turn to be dense about something.
What does one _do_ with a .rar file?
Thanks

Search for "winrar" using google. Rar is a compression method, similar to zip.

You can tell how far removed I am from my Unix days. Used to be that, thanks to 'tar', that any file extension with 'ar' in it would automatically trigger the "Oh damn, yet another archive and compression program" reflex. (And we didn't even *have* to use file extensions in Unix.)
Just got it installed, and Wow - definitely worth the effort. Cool theme.
And, I figured out that the .tsk file inside the .rar file needed to go into the Windows folder _all by myself_.
[Now if Vijay's site would start working again, or I could find some other source for a Bluetooth or headset icon, I could call it a day on my Wizard obsession fix.]

yup, nice theme...thanks for posting!

What does the O2 theme look like? Does anyone know where I can see a screenshot? Thank you.

Well, I figured out how to get a screen shot, but not how to post the image 'inline'. So, see attached file (Oh, since it's an image, the file is displayed. Cool.)
on the screen:
- date
- Rhino TodayPanel in Compact mode
- wireless plugin
- tasks (stock)
- calendar (stock)
- PHM TrayLaunch (I removed Init_Tray from startup, and added CommManager to TL, so no battery icon, which I didn't need)
The deep blue makes for great contrast on the today screen.

Thank you for posting the screen.

two questions. can you upload phm traylaunch. and 2, if i leave init-tray, can i still have the batter icon with the phm running?

Couple of minor adjustments on mine.
Used a small program to remove of the soft key buttons to make more today screen space - soft keys work and buttons reappear on other apps - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54567

Yes, you can still have the battery icon, but the battery and comm manager icons will be (seemingly) randomly intermixed with the phm tray launcher icons.

Throttle Launcher (TouchFLO 3D)

ThrottleLauncher is a launcher app designed for Windows Mobile 6. Basically it consist's of several pages containing rows. Each of the rows depending of it contents can be scrolled horizontally by using the finger. The app is fully configurable through xml files so the rest of the features depends on the diferent setups.
Essentially, this is probably the clossest we can get to the new TouchFLO 3D (codename: Manilla) software to run on our low powered Wing/Herald/p4350.
Version 0.9.1 is in beta testing, and will be available to the public soon, you can watch the videos here.
You must download both CAB files and install them (order does not matter) and softreset when finished.
The official thread can be found here:

Looks pretty cool, thanks for sharing, I'll have to try it out!

inexperienced yes, lazy no i have only just come back on the web after my last post and i came back on here to correct my post so calling me lazy is a bit harsh really.
Apoligies to everyone danozone is correct in what he says i didnt turn of the launcher in the today options, i find the rom with the launcher built in better than the app though,having the launcher running as a program on screen can be a bit annoying with accidental closing of it.

how can I get my ppc 6800 to look like this one and what apps ...

So we cannot get our WING to look exactly like the HTC Diamond with Touchflo3D on it?
If no, why is it so? is it because the WING is only 200Mhz and the Diamond is 528Mhz?
I have installed Throttlelauncher but I have too much trouble setting up and using it and I thought there may be a ROM ported from the Diamond onto the WING directly from HTC.

Can someone please point me to the exact instructions for installing the throttle launcher and touchflo 3D. I need the idiots version because I have never installed cab files or anything like that.
Thanks

i got it running on my mogul great my only issue is i cant get my pixz and my weather is in c and i need it in F can anybody help me with these 2 things?

Elle-Cie: Thats basics you should not need ask in this forum (or any forum, since google answers the question for you) but:
Simply transfer the cab file to the device in any way you like, and run it from the file browser to install. Or install using active sync.
About the app:
-Full screen does not work wit the TF3D theme. (replace taskbar)
-->The bar is not at the top of the screen. (It is room for about one more bar above it), and the navigation line disappears below the bottom of the screen.
-->When it does not disappear below the screen, it disappears below the bottom WM-bar (the one with "phone" and "contacts" on it)
-->When neither of the above happens, The keyboard-icon (to toggle on-screen keyboard) is on top of throttlelauncher, and makes navigation difficult.
Forgot to mention: I am using i780 with a 320x320 resolution, so I guess this might be related to my screen size not beeing supported. It would be nice if it could be, though.
There are also a font issue in the calendar-tab. The dates doesn't really fit in the grid - they are too big.

i tried installing this but it give me an error and now it lauching on its own but again all it gives me is an error

where do i download them to? plz help

To download: www.throttlelauncher.com
About other posts: please try last version and compatible themes, as last version is not compatible with old themes. And take care about the compatibility with your screen size, if the theme is designed for a determinate screen.
More: If your problem is related to Throttlelauncher but not tothe Herald, use the main throttlelauncher thread in (non-device-depending) Software section. Also in the developer's web.

[SKN][REQ] 6.5 WM dialer

Well I think its fairly apparent that M$ is not going to make a newer style native dialer for 6.5 so we may be stuck with the same dialer from the WM5 days.
Is anyone willing to redesign the layout of WM dialer? We have several different skins, but I think a new layout is whats needed for 6.5, perhaps to mimic the HTC dialer, or perhaps different.
Any takers?
Edit: I will update the first post and add in everything that we can come up with for easy access. Thanks to all who support.

+1 for this. Not sure if the layout can be chnged yet, but maybe some skin to make it look changed. Is there some existing skins for this somewhere already?

+1 for the layout change though. There is some unused space at the top that I don't like. The number buttons are not quite finger friendly either. IMO.

Maybe we coud post a zip with all the stock images and reg entries to make it easy on skinners. Can someone put together a zip with all of this stuff and Adam can link it in first post?
I will most likely have a look at this too, but busy at the time being. I'd like to make it look like the HTC dialer, and then go from there.
Not sure if this is the same dialer, but there are a few skins for stock dialer at www.skinzone.org. They were from 6.1, so not sure if they would still work.
EDIT: I gathered up the images real quick, but didn't get the registry yet. Let me know if you think I missed an image.

Sure thing, I will update the first post and add in everything that we can come up with for easy access. Hopefully people will see that something is being done and will join in. It may not hurt to contact some good people with photoshop skills either like Herg and bilbobrian.
Edit: After thinking about it, we may get better coverage if this was moved to the Development and Hacking forum.

I wish they would make the dialer the same as how they have the dial pad for the lock screen...that would be sweet if somebody could make a skin or dialer like that:

That looks great, I just wish the HTC S2A dialer didn't have issues with WM6.5

i'll take a crack at it later tonight after work...its been bugging me too.

That would be awesome... and I know we can expect something good from you, you always seem to post top knotch applications/themes/tweaks.

Hi,
Attached is something that I quickly knocked up to make the WM6.5 dialer look a bit more like the lock screen when in a call.
I hope that it is useful.

Matt, what is the file attached. I noticed the different default theme pictures in the folders, but I am not sure how this file should be used. Is it a program that allows you to choose a theme? If so, which file to you run and do you run from pc over activesync or from the device itself?

If you extact it on your PC, the directories are for cooking and if you run the "make_cabs.bat" you should get a folder called cabs with installable cab files that will change the phone's skin. You need to soft reset to get the phone to use them after you install the cab (or copy the files over in Resco Explorer from the folder of your choice.)
(see attachments - I am using the Blue Drop theme)

big thanks

I hate to admit that the same happened for me. I ran it three times...then I thought about it. And I refreshed the window.
I doubt this is your problem, but I had to put it out there.

just to let everyone know, i am working on something, I'm toying with going with squared-off buttons (see 6.5 calc for an example) or the lockscreen-esque rounded buttons (similar to mpattman). should have some time this weekend to really polish it.

Rounded buttons.

Icons

i've been trying to figure out how to customize my icons for a while now. so far, i've acquire a program called ResHacker and downloaded numerous different collections of icons. however, i have no idea which file to navigate to, inside of ResHacker, in order to change the icons. I was able to track down the files for the manila editor, but the icons seem to be hidden a little better xD any help?

What icons are you trying to change?

the ones in start menu/quicklinks (youtube, facebook, task manager, etc.) and also the ones across the top bar (reception, battery life, start menu icon, etc.)

I use the program Restart for that. Search the forum for a download. Its very easy to use!

For start menu/quicklink icons, try JWMD Icon Changer
The "top bar icons" you talked about are called taskbar icons. There are plenty of custom taskbars around xda, just do a search for it (remember to include your wm build in the search)

actually, i was trying to figure out how to cook these changes into a ROM. i know how to change them once i've installed the ROM, i just can't figure out how to cook new ones into my ROM.

if you know how to get it all setup on your rom after flash like you want, then cooking it in is easy. get all your start menu icons/folder icons fixed on your rom like you want them, then use a reg editor to export this to your pc
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]
now make an extended pkg, using this reg export as the app.reg and the pics for your icons in the files folder of the ext pkg. put this ext pkg to run at the end of cooking cycle so the registry or pics dont get overwritten and thats it
for taskbar icons, find a set you like and use cab2oem then extrebuild to make an extended package from the cab and place it in your kitchen.

sweeeeet! thanks TPC! one more thing. how do i edit all the shortcuts in my start menu? I was able to change some my editing the OEM_Lang file, but only about 30 - 40% of the shortcuts seemed to be located in ther

I'd love to see something like that! I've looked around at numerous tutorials and there's always something that is left unexplained or isn't clear :-\ Mainly, changing yourr XIP and SYS to 6.5.x. I always get module duplication errors and end up with a 7k .nbh lol

[Q] Theme or Cookie 2.0 Question?

Hi folks;
OK here is a jump right in situation.. Suppose using the EnergyROM ver. " Energy.RHODIUM.29005.Sense2.5.Cookie.Dec.13 " you wanted to use some of the Home Screen graphics? Nor I have found all thegraphics for the flip clock and that works great changing the manila files in Photoshop CS5.
The one Gramhic I can't find guessing at the bars and testing is the one thats just under the main tip curtain and your location, etc. and it's the one thats rolled and small vertically, I'll just say the humpped up one? has the small line vertically in it and has on the rght the Alarm on or off and on the left the date... There now...whew..
OK I am trying to find the file name of that little graphic in eith manils or the theme name? Driving me nuts as I am trying to make the graphic background for that area flat and dart like the Sencity themed ROM.
If any one can give a little hand here I would really appreciat it!!!
Sincerey
Automan

I honestly have no clue what you're talking about. Can you post a screen shot with the item in question circled?
Oh, finally understood what you're asking for, will upload the files in question in a minute.
The Images are attached in both PNG & QTC format. The PNG filenames have notes to which part they are for. There are 6 images in total. These are my already skinned files btw, just a note.

drkfngthdragnlrd;
I wanted to personally thank you for the link to the Sencity images. I have them working and did a little touch up on them and made them look even better than before.
Sorry it took me some time t get back to you with this but I am in Flight Status Readiness runs right now and having to tighten up some of the marines and Navy pilots to get ready for a few things that may spring up..
I have already issued the new Manila sections to the teams an they have already mentioned that when dimmed it works perfectly!!
Think of what color youhave to make the Home Screen so that it was Dark with little Ambient out put and be very visible wit infra-red eyes?? That's a good one.
The way I do it is using the real thing and looking at the screen, but anyone can see it with the red lense of a pair of ZZ Top 3D Glasses for the 3d movies and use the red lense..
I really thank you for all the help.
Now I tring to get my hands on the STOCK HTC Icons for the phone, so that I can redo them for our needs. Are there any out on XDA as a set??
Thanks Again!!
Sincerely
Col. L.A. Hutcheson
aka Automan

drkfngthdragnlrd;
I forgot to ask you one more question on this ROM?? Is there any of the Original Start Icons out there on XDA " I have been looking " for them that come with the Stock ROM on the HTC web site for the Tilt2 flip out keyboard or actually it's just the new Touch Pro2. I just need the Images for the folders and the start sections.
I did find the stock "Check Boxes" & "ATT_Blue_Sense_Switches_and_Highlights", but I am just missing the original Start Folders and apps. If I get them I am going to change them to what color I need and not have any of then Shinny like Apple Button's..
If you know and can do more link to me I would greatly appreciate it.. Seems like you know where most of these type things are..
Thanks again for all the help..
Sincerely

I would suggest downloading Ervius Visual Kitchen. You can then dump the stock ROM of your choice to get said files. Also get WinRAR or 7Zip, with either you can "unzip" the ROM exe to get the .nbh file which you'll need to dump with the kitchen. Sense you want a stock set of icons, just go to HTC's website & get the ROM from there.

Merry Christmas drkfngthdragnlrd!!!
Thanks for the info, and I think I will jump that direction on the kitchen as if I need a new project, but it sounds interesting..Appreciate it.. I did call HTC Support yesterday and low and behold the support guy I talked with is here close to my home base and her spent 3 hours yesterday trying to get all of the image files from their stoch ROM and at about 6:00 pm est. time he called and emailed me a link.
I only have one small question for you now if you have the time.
The 20th of Dec. ENergyROM's have a problem it looks like on the post, that mentions getting rid of the Appointment Widget or something like that, I can do that, but I need to know if there is somewhere on the cell plone where you turn off the " XDA_UC "??
Here is the tweet posted on the Twitter site about the latest 20th Dec. ROM....
Note:
It seems having the tasks widget on the homescreen makes CHT 2.0 unstable and crash Sense. Remove the tasks widget if u dont have tasks .
So it's mentioned on the install section to dis-able XDA_UC before doing a task 29..
This ROM was blowing my mind...If you see the news or read it on MSN the Korea problem is getting worse by the day, I am going to get this coloring and darkening on this ROM and gt it out to my Troops ASAP. We are now officially on Active Call.... That's not good, it's cold as He** over ther now and we and most of our troops have been in the desert reagion's too long...Problem sinario...
Thanks and Take Care and have a Great Holiday!!! I really do appreciate all the help you have given me...!! I could't have pulled this idea off with out your help..
Now I just have to get the Dec. 20th version running as some of the CHT files and others have changed..
Not a problem there I have already seperated the images into different dir's and will mostly set-up a Photoshop Action to do what I need...
Sincerely

I don't know about disableling XDA_UC, but there should be information in it's thread. I don't use Task29 myself, I use a stock RUU. If you download a Stock ROM, it's a self extracking exe/zip. I manually unzip it & delete the nbh files in there & than add the custom ROM nbh to that folder. Now when I run the RUU that was inside, it flashes the custom ROM while doing a full format of the ROM Chip. Been doing this for over a year now & never have any kind of bad flash issues. Never need to Hard Reset after flashing, never need to do Task29 or Flashing Stock/etc.
