Hey!
So I have seen that many of you have themed widgets, like the Power Control etc.
How do you do that?
Please don't say MetaMorph, cus I've got a Desire xD
pull the apk on your computer
open it and change what you want
sign it and install
If you look at this forum you will see a lot of guides on how to do that. Fx the sticky one at the first page
Thank you!
And sorry for this you guys, I should've seen it.

search htc home customizer
once you install this application go to the preview tabs and see all the different icons, which can be used. Once you find the one you want go to the downloads tab and select it, problem solved.
would this program allow me to change them on my own because i have some icons i would like to use.
I have searched and searched for a way to change the color on the my home page from black as best as I can tell please tell me if I'm wrong but I need to install a theme that has a different color text in order to do this.. Is this correct????
Now a few questions on the new themes... If I install a new theme on my phone am I stuck using the background that comes with the theme or can you change the background to whatever you like?
If you can change the background does anyone have a link to a simple theme that has white writing, Maybe the Buttons I saw one that was almost like the original just a little more 3 dimensional. I don't want anything to different just keeping it simple..
Now when you are talking about installing themes.. I have read many terms I do not understand and so I think if I understood them I might be better equipped to actually tackle installing a theme...
What does ROM stand for?
What is a .cad file?
Do you need anything special to install a cad file or does it do it on it's own?
This program I've read people say you have to use to install themes.. Total Commander. Do you install that on your computer or your phone?
I'm a total newbie to this and trying to sort through little bits and pieces everywhere is really overwhelming me.. I really want to get a grip on this phone..

Check out the link below. Also there is a thread in the Raphael/Rapheael forum for q&a like this.
Okay, first of it's a CAB file, in windows(desktop computer) it will be labeled as a cabinet file. copy it to your device, in any folder, open file explorer, and double click the cab file. it installs automatically.
And a ROM? you answer is HERE
Read it and read it closely. Also the wiki is a good place to read about the problems and solutions that can arise from flashing a new ROM.
Both those questions, shouldn't even be asked on the forum.
read here about font colors in TF3D
and remember always to search, i just don't feel like you had done enough. Hope these help you, and remember to read, read, read, read, search, read, search, read, then ask. Keeps the forum clean, and easier for the next person to find what they are looking for.
hey, i've been screwing around pulling .apks from /system/app + /framework...and pretending i'm some hardcore themer or something...lol anyway...
firstly sorry for my lack of correct terminology...i only learnt how to use adb properly a few days ago and am very green when it comes to all this stuff.
i've managed to pull some pngs from com.htc.resource.apk which correspond to the main part of the sense/rosie interface (ie the buttons at the bottom of the home screen).
All i have been looking at doing is editing the colours of these pngs to add slight customisation..for now.
After editing i pushed com.htc.resource.apk back to my hero and hey presto it worked...nice new coloured interface (just the bottom of the homescreen, not everything like i've seen in some themers work and metamorph themes) but alas i came across a MASSIVE issue:
I lost the ability to sign into my google account and sync my contacts!!!!
I tried again and had the same issue...very strange i thought seen as i was only editing images...but i know computer systems can be temperamental...
so does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? possibly how i can fix this issue? it's been bugging me for at least 24 hrs and i'm sure there must be some easy fix. at first i thought it could be something to do with signing the files, but as far as i'm aware as i'm only playing with pngs no signing has to be done...correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm using villain rom 10.3 at the moment...if that makes a difference to whatever answers i'm hoping to get.
I've attached an image oh my status bar so far. i'm hoping to make a corresponding rosie/sense button thingy interface in the near future...
all help is GREATLY appreciated and i'm happy to share any "work" that i've done with anyone..so don't be shy.
Cheers
hey bro! i was playing around with the htc.com.resources.apk too! was trying to edit the lockscreen to a different style but too encounter the exact same problems as you faced!
apparently this guy, odin13 in his post
"clear sense lockscreen for Cronos 1.7.1"
managed to edit the htc.com.resources.apk without any facing any problems like us. im actually using his edited htc.com.resources.apk for clear lockscreen right now..
Cheers for the reply, bit of a flummoxing problem. I'll try an find odin and see if he can help!
Please anyone else feel free to help me here :-D
Hi guys,
Sorry for my late response but i just noticed the msg i got...
I'm really sorry but i really can't help you with this problem.
You should better ask it in the Villain forum since i'm no developer or some like that.
The boyz at Villain will definately be able to help you out with this or at least they can tell you what's going wrong.
The 'trick' with lockscreen is something i read once in a post ( can't remember which forum though ) so it's not even something i will take credit for.
Good luck bro and srry again for the late response!
hoi,
odin
Hey thanks for getting back to me man, greatly appreciated. Those boys at villain did solve it, i think it was a combination of pulsar & ultimately shen who sorted me out.
For stuff like the lockscreen and sense interface you need to create an update signed zip file and flash that way. no more loss of contacts which is great!
Happy days!

Also while on classic home I only have the following icons weather, news, photos,music, videos, and clock how do I get all my icons there instead of touching the 3rd icon down in the lil tool box on the side? I also read on here about people loading different software on instead of the taptap thing it uses. What are the advantages of the different software? Sorry its long..Thanks

Maybe start here: http://gtabfans.com/
That will give you some basics about the different roms and other things.
Then read, and read, and read some more.
Most importantly is whatever you decide.. "Follow The Steps EXACTLY" Don't not do them because it just doesn't seem right. It is very easy to mod this tablet. It is also very easy to run into problems. None of the problems are real serious, and can be fixed but they will make you nuts trying to figure out what happened. So follow the directions....
The reason people put different roms on there tablet, or phone, or whatever is to gain features, to fix things that don't work right, and to gain performance. Out of the box the tablet is not bad nowadays in comparison to what was loaded on it when I first got mine.
If you are new to this, read, read, read....... And don't be afraid. It is hard to really break this thing...
im so lost lol i tried to install that clockwordmod thingy and i cant get it...so frustrating
I believe there are two different update.zip files for clockwork. One for internal sd and one for external. I used the external. Put it on micro sd, insert, power down, boot into recovery with power and volume +, and voila... There are several great tutorials on this site...

1st, Way to go with making the move to a custom rom.
Setting wallpaper
-All you need to do is press and hold on the home screen.
-You will see a pop up with options.
-Go to wallpaper.
-Select where you are getting the wallpaper from.
-Choose your wallpaper and you will have to crop it a bit and save...
You should now have your wallpaper set.
For Clocks you need to go to the market and choose your preference of clocks for example like typoclock and do sort of the same as above but this time with widgets.
Hope that helps.
how do i make custom wallpaper or install ones people made on here to download?
If you download an image from the Gtablet or just transfer it to it, it should show up in your gallery. For me, I usually need to reboot for the Gallery to see new images. Once you get the wallpaper popup, one of the options is Gallery. Use that, find your image and select it.
Most of all spend some time screwing around with Android and learn the OS. Always remember the long press and the menu key. They are th skeleton keys to Android. If there's and option you're looking for, one of those two is usually how you'll find it.
