not sure about the Messenger cab, but i'm sure you can find a version on this site!
Black Manila theme here:
You Tube app is missing and a CAB is needed desprately. Can anyone help?

So I guess you compact IV owners dont want the You Tube and Windows Live Messenger apps?
Are you loking to just de-brand?

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.
I've just been looking at a Wikipedia article on Windows Mobile, and saw the following screen shot of a 'standard' windows mobile 6.1. Does anyone know where to find this theme/applet/plugin or whatever it is - I really like the look of it.

Thanks.

why yes, on any non-touch screen WM 6.x device... in other words, a smartphone, not a Pocket PC. In a way, you answered yourself: this is WM Standard, and Kaiser is WM Professional.
Ah, that explains it then. It's a shame it's not also available on touch screen devices, as I think it looks really clean - nicer than the usual HTC Home app I think. I've tried other home screen clocks and styles, but havent found one yet that I really like (other than this one unfortunately...!!)
Thanks anyway
I use SPB Mobile Shell as it looks slightly more usable than HTC Home which was not bundled with phone initially.
I use SPB mobile shell too,it´s more better than HTC home.And for big clock on today I´m using Pocket digital clock.
I have tried the Samsung user interface on my phone, and I loved it only, one problem, no one has resized the icon to be finger friendly with a 480 x 640 VGA screen, so if any one can help that would be greatly appreciated.

TF3D and omnima are two different today plugins it pretty much what you like, you can try it yourself, but a word of warning might not be able to restart your phone if you select today 2 plugin ( I speak from experience) you will have to do a hard reset to bring it back up(reset button, volume down and glowing circle at the same time release reset and hold other two, then follow instructions. you will loose any date saved on your phone). but if you still wanna try search for samsung goodies thread and good luck
Here is the link for the program for those that haven't found it
FEWidgets
If you are looking for more widgets, check this: User Made Widgets
The app can be run as just an app to play around with it or can be put instead of tf3d as today screen. if you want to have a vga as background though, you will have to copy a vga pic in the program files folder few widgets.
vga omnia
for anyone waiting for a resize of the omnia ui its on ppcgeeks.com the link isbelow if someone can upload here that would great i tried and could'nt

Hi I've got a problem with customisation on WM6.5. I have Samsung OmniaLite (B7300) and I can't run any theme on it, even the preloaded ones. I also can't change icons nor menus. Anyone knows what might be the problem? Is something wrong with my ROM or maybe my carrier blocked it?
have you checked if the theme is for Windows Mobile 6.5 and for wqvga screen?
I've install SPB Mobile Shell v3.5.2.build.9745 and there is no ploblem at all.
Hello everyone,
I hope this is the correct forum for this but I have a question regarding themes on Windows Mobile 6.5.
Basically I want to get a default Windows Mobile 6.5 Home Screen look exactly like a Windows Mobile 6.1 Today Screen.
Now I don't know if I should try and create (or may-be one already exists) a theme that does this or if there are settings in the registry that I could alter to accomplish this.
Basically I am in need of a push in the right direction... create a theme to do this, download an existing theme or change registry settings?
(I do apologize if this is not the correct forum).
Regards,
its very easy i guess. . .no need to create any themes to get today screen of 6.1 . . .
just go to settings. . today and then on items tab, deselect 'windows default' and select other items like 'date' 'messaging' etc. . etc and then 'ok'
i think this will do wht u r luking for. . sorry if i m giving wrong solution to ur actual need.
Thanks redx.czero,
I had to lend my phone for a while and can't look into those settings just yet. As soon as I do I will let you know.
Thanks,
