How do you set custom keyboard skins? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

I just installed Crossbow Reloaded 1.5, which had a cool custom keyboard skin. However, I found another keyboard skin from a different thread and tried to replace the *.mui file. However, this turned my keyboard back to the default plain keyboard. I backed up the original *.mui file for the keyboard, however replacing that still didn't help. I did soft resets too, can someone help me out please? I already searched the forum and nothing >.<

I'm not sure if this is what you're wanting, but I've attached MuN's keyboard skin cab file that you can install. I have a feeling it's the one you had and can't get back. Just install the cab file from your phone.

Yes, Crossbow Reloaded used the mUn's keyboard skin. There is also an XPlore keyboard skin (its all grey and black) thats pretty nice (but I like the color in mUn's personally).
As newbie2 said, just install his cab and you should be good. Look at the Xplore 2.0 thread for that cab for that keyboard skin (its in the first post or so).

Thanks! The cab worked. I originally had this, then wanted to use the nicer looking keyboard skin from Xplore's rom, but trying to install his caused me to lose the keyboard skins alltogether.
Thanks guys!

Because it was signed with certifficates that were not in your rom ...
Sorry about that...it was meant for my Core 2.0n and i forgot to add certifficates.
Try this cab for that : http://rapidshare.com/files/32343201/SdkCerts.cab
and only after add the keyboard

Keyboard in some Roms

Hey guys,
It seems I have installed all of the different ROMS currently available. It's great that they come with different apps/tweaks. But, that makes it harder to decide which one to use
One of the ROMS has a colored keyboard with more features. I can't seem to find out what app/tweak that is. Can someone post the name, or location to get. I'd like to put it on one of the "clean" Roms.
Thanks!!!
AND - GREAT work here on this board. Amazing what gets developed.
Have you read the other threads, its all over the place..
here is the file

Its a file called 'msim.96.dll.0409.mui' that needs adding to the \Windows folder. If you are building your own ROM you can just add it to the build, no other settings required. Iv'e added it to mine

Excellant. I searched for keyboard colors roms. But never saw anything that pointed.
THANKS guys.

I use Faria's WM5 3.3 and just tried to installed it.
It installed with no error, but the keyboard did not change, even after a soft reset.
I installed keyboard skin cab, after soft reset it is showing up fine.
Is there a cab that works with WM5?

'Phonepad' working in WM6?

Has anyone experenced issues using the 'phonepad' text entry method that's listed with Transcriber?
I just had someone try the new 318 rom, and it loads down the phone and won't let you change it back - and doesn't seem to do anything.
I hadn't ever noticed before, let alone tried it...
More details:
New release of 318, using the attached black keyboard .mui.
Looks like that black keyboard is part of a larger package. Here's the installation cab for it, and it also fixes the phone pad issue. Thanks deviusdragger!
Do you also have the cab for only the black keyboard?

I don't...
but if you decide to try and build one, the .mui works by itself (ie it is the black keyboard) - but if you want to use the 'phone pad' entry method, you need the 'dark Phone Pad' cab.
thnx
thnx mattk_r for the phone pad CAB...

o2 diamond pro and the tf3d theme :(

hey guys,
i know there are a bunch of threads out there already which deal with themes and tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and everything. but it seems like there's been quite a few issues with the original o2 ROM TF3D and the attempt to install the black htc theme.
I tried to use tf3dconfig 0.6.7 and use the diamond htc black theme here from the forum. The installation works quite alright, everything seems nice but the music player doesn't show the artist/genre/track/album horizontal menu and also is the list of applications black on black.
Maybe there are a few manila files missing or something?
I don't really want to flash my rom since there's only a beta out of the german romeos and i need a stable working phone - but the blue o2 theme is really ugly.
Are there any ideas out there what's going wrong and how to fix that problem? Or could you tell me which manila files have to be edited in order to see the custom menu bar in the music player and the black font color in the list of all applications?
I think this is also happening with the Vodafone Version of TF3D
Regards
Oli
Yes, I have the exact same problem as well with my Vodaphone Touch Pro, I've scouted through the forums for hours while at college and have not seen a solution for this, I'm guessing the only work around would be to flash the phone?
Same problem here. Have a MDA Vario IV (T-Mobile Version) and I have the same issue as you when installing the original theme.
I am searching for a solution for two days now and I haven't find anything yet.
I don't need the original HTC theme, I would be lucky with any "magentaless theme" that works.
I have found a working black theme, but it is on german.
for tf3d:

and for wm6.1:
http://rapidshare.com/files/131850418/Htc_black.zip.html
Now the colors are right, but I think tf3d is much slower now. I have already done all tweaks for optimizing the performance.
Is there any solution?
hey very cool!
but i think that version is older than my current one.
where'd you find that one?

I found it in this forum
http://www.ppc-phones.de/punforum/viewtopic.php?pid=56565
I installed the theme. It's not that slow that I can't use it but with the original T-Mobile theme TF3D was much faster.
well i installed it just now and it isn't slower than the o2 tf3d version really.
but if you go to settings -> connections this page appears still in blue in tf3d but i don't really mind that (i don't open that page too often since i have secondtoday)
do you know how i can change the dropdown background when i click on start in the upper left corner? cause that's still blue too
thanks
go to start - settings - today and there are the themes for wm6.1.
there you choose this file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/13185041...black.zip.html
(I copied it to the windowsfolder before selecting it in the settings)
with the t-mobile theme the first screen (the one with the clock) was there immediately when I switched to it on tf3d. now it needs half a second, but it is ok for me.
hi,
this rapidshare link doesn´t work.
any other link or solution? that blue o2 theme is soooo ugly

fuze keyboard layout cab?

does anyone have a for sure working cab. I've searched and tried a few different ones w/ this new ROM i'm using (TAEL)...and all the cabs i've tried seem to fudge something up. for the most part, none of them have the numbers in the right spot Fn+any number gives me symbols instead of the numbers. So far i've tried one called 'HTC Fuze Keyboard fix' and 'TP2FUZE KB', and another called 'Shlomki Fuze Keyboard in TouchPro ROM'
EZinput 2 does not play nice with the Fuze keyboard lay out, his new rom corrects the issue along with many other bugs and from what TAEL says it should be out some time tomorrow.
Fraid i cant be 100% sure - but i think http://blownfuze.org has the cab (mines not a fuze so never bothered downloading the cab to check!)
well...i'm not running ez input...but i'm running finger keyboard 2.1. I never had any problems w/ my tilt using that app. Hopefully thats not it, i'm gonna try this cab one more time from blownfuze.
if i'm installing these cabs, it wouldn't matter if the keyboard was changed under the advanced config utility would it? Because regardless of whether it was on AT&T/Cingular/English/Custom...installing the cab would make the reg edit right?
you dont have to be using EzInput but its installed on the device and thats where the conflict is, The EzInput changes the key mapping for all hardwere keyboard keys.
dah wellz, i just switched back to nrg genesis rom. no biggie. thanx for the help anyways guys

[QUE] how to make Sense-tabs look like good old manila?

hi!
i liked the manila tabs very much, the good old just-grey-style
is there a possibility to replace those colorful sense tabs with the simply, good-looking standard manila ones?
thanks and have a nice evening
These for the diamond2 *may* work. I haven't tried this on the HD2 but the cab file does backup the originals (on the diamond2 anyways).

I don't think this will work, its meant for 2.1 not 2.5. Have tried a similar cab for 2.1 and required hardresetting.
Am also looking for the said tab icons. They are indeed so much better, more chique
