[Theme] VistaMobile VGA (AND NOW QVGA!) with Extras released! - General Topics

Hey guys,
I posted a little teaser for my skin/theme, and I've got some pretty positive feedback/lots of traffic to my site. I have now released the theme in it's entirety, and it is available on my site for which you can find the link at the bottom of this post.
Lots of time and development have been put into creating this, and I couldn't have done it without the majority of graphics from Corleno. Thanks to him for allowing me to 'remix' his Wisbar Advance theme, "Vista Pocket".
Anyways, take a look at the pics below, and find a link to the download at my site. Sorry I did not post the actual files here, but posting it on my own site will allow me to update the theme easily if need be, and people from many other sites can comment on it there too. I really hope you enjoy this, as it took me much longer than it should have! (I'm not surprised, because I'm a pixel-perfectionist)

(P.S. - HTC PLEASE RELEASE THE OMNI! Us Universal owners deserve a respectable successor!!)

ok dude, i'm impressed! One question though, http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/ have two softwares listed:
1) Wisbar Advance 3.1.0.4
2) Wisbar Advance Desktop 1.3.0.7
Which one of these is required on my JASJAR to have your theme installed and fully functional?!?

Hey man, glad you enjoy the theme. You actually need both of the software titles that you mentioned above. "Wisbar Advance (WA)" AND "Wisbar Advance Desktop (WAD)". That version of WAD should give you no problems, however I built and test this theme only on WA v2, and not the newest v3. I'm sure that it will work in v3, since I don't believe anything major has changed, however I cannot guarantee that since I only tested it with v2.
If you do try out v3, please let us know how it works.
Thanks!

Hey, excellent skin.. but will it consume alot of memory, last time i installed wisbar advance on my uni and it lagged until the camera app cannot be initiated

Hi /b/-TarD,
That's actually a great question you ask. I have never had any memory issues with my Uni while running this theme. I also just checked my current memory status after a fresh reboot, and "DesktopApp.exe" (Wisbar Advance Desktop) is using 2.56mb of RAM, while "wisbaradv2.exe" (Wisbar Advance) is using 303kb of RAM.
This makes sense to me because the WAD theme is much more detailed and has larger graphics than the WA skin. For me, its worth sacrificing 2.9mb of RAM to run this theme set. I hope you'll agree too
Let me know if you do run into any issues with RAM usage, but I can tell you that everything works fine for me!

this is a great skin however i have had a few problems, not sure if it is the skin or my setings, i am using it on a SPV M5000 running WAD and WA2, not had issues with other sking but my machine keeps on "freezing" after a short while and the only way to respore it is to so a soft reset and load the skin up again. WAD and WA2 are installed to my SD card, dont think that that is the problem though
Any idea's ....????????

Hey Hooperman, I would have personally installed WA + WAD to the Main Memory and NOT the Storage Card. I know this requires a fair bit of free space in the Main Memory, but WA + WAD will definitely respond faster and keep running optimally.
My theme has been downloaded a sh*tload of times, and I haven't heard anyone else with your problems, so I would think that having your WA/WAD on the Storage Card is definitely the issue.
If you have the space, try installing WA/WAD to the Main Memory and let us know how it goes...
Hope this helps!

Hi azzkicker, I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. It's quite unfortunate that the WAD skin is not working for you. Not to single you out, but no one else has contacted me with the issues you are having, which leads me to believe that you just haven't copied the folder structures properly.
Read my blog post again here, and make sure that you copy each of the files/folders EXACTLY where I described in that post.
Hope this helps!

It looks very sexy!

Hope you don't mind
scar45,
I happened upon your post last night and I have to tell you this is one awesome theme! I hope you don't mind, but I modified it for QVGA. I've only completed the portrait_QVGA so far, but I'm working on the landscape tonight or maybe tomorrow. Here's what it looks like on my Wizard......

Hey there kcguy,
First off, let me say that I have no problem with you creating a QVGA version of my theme. I just request that you keep all graphics as high-quality as you can, so that the theme doesn't lose it's visual appeal.
Also, please just send me a private message before you release the theme, so that we can ensure that everyone who participated in it's development is credited properly. I can also (and prefer to) host the QVGA version for you on my protogenLabs.com website.
Let me know how it's coming along, and if the above sounds good to you. Looking forward to seeing your work!
-scar

not a problem
scar45,
I didn't modify any of your graphics, only edited the sizes to fit the QVGA format. I'd be happy to send it to you so you can release it. That is the way it should be, since a lot of effort went into the design.
I have modified the landscape files also, but have had no success getting it to display when I'm in landscape mode. My wizard switches from portrait to landscape when you slide the qwerty out. Any ideas why it won't display? Only displays the default wisbar desktop theme in landscape, but instantly goes back to your theme when I close the keyboard and go back to portrait mode.

kcguy, can you post your qvga format? I would like to try this on my HTC hermes. Thanks.

hey kcguy,
Thanks for the effort you've put into making a QVGA version of my theme. I'm not sure why the landscape mode won't work, as I didn't run into the same problem as you. What I might suggest is to put the device in landscape mode, then try to re-select the landscape version of the theme, and hopefully it will stick (vistaMobile_L_(Q)VGA).
Anyways, let me know when you've completed the theme, and please send this to no one else but myself first, and following that, I will package it up for download and host it on my site.
Hope it's still coming along nicely!
-scar

It's complete
Hey scar45,
I don't know what the issue is with the landscape mode, but I have a work- around, if anybody else has the same issue. On my wizard, I had to open the landscape QVGA while in portrait mode on my phone as well as WAD. I then rotated the screne 90 deg. to the right so it displayed properly, opened my qwerty which switched the device to landscape mode, and no more problems. When you receive the zip file back, you'll notice that p_QVGA now shows two pages, 0 & 1 which I assume is because I opened the L_QVGA in portrait mode, but for whatever reason, it now works perfectly. I am trying to send you the files as we speak so you can take a look and decide if you want to release them. Thanks for the awesome theme!

Hi is there possible to have a similar home screen for smartphone QVGA?

Heya soalle,
At this point, I would say that this theme is not possible to use on a Smartphone QVGA device. The main core of the theme is based on Wisbar Advance/Wisbar Advance Desktop, and I don't believe that this program is available for the Smartphone version of Windows Mobile.
I wish there was a way that I could develop it for that, but unfortunately there isn't at this point in time.
I will be releasing kcguy's QVGA version of my theme for PocketPCs, so if you obtain one of those devices (or better yet, a VGA PPC), then you would be able to use this theme set.
Keep an eye out on this post though, and if anyone finds a way to make this theme usable on a Smartphone QVGA device, it will surely be posted here.
Thanks!

Hey guys, I just wanted to *bump* this message up because thanks to kcguy (and some further configuring by me), my VistaMobile theme has now been released in a QVGA format!
A LOT of people had been asking for this version after I released the original, so after some time, and some help from kcguy, I was able to rewrite the theme to support QVGA devices.
I have tested it out on my QVGA Pocket PC Emulator, and it seemed to work perfectly fine. If anyone else runs into any issues, please post them in this thread, and I'll do my best to address them as soon as I possibly can. You might get a quicker response if you post an actual comment to my protogenLabs site where the file is hosted.
You can grab the actual .zip file here:

It's been out for a while, the slide uses a SWF. You must first load WA2 and WAD then load the slide program. And im pretty sure it does goes back to the slide after the device goes into hibernate. I'm sticking with the WAlite and WAD. I really like the original WM6 look and feel.

To answer the other question. I made that theme from scratch. I wanted a Vista look and feel. Some icons are from the Expea2 icon set. I made the sidebar and clock from scratch.

To clarify a little, though I have been using the slide for a while now, the slide program does not require WA or WAD to be ran, you copy the lock folder to anywhere on ppc, and then run the slide.exe program, and you may also change the background of the wallpaper to any image in bmp format by renaming it to wallpaper.bmp and also, the program does not automatically run after comming from standy, you have to activate the program by running the .exe file, or by assigning to hardware button as for right now. Not sure of anyway to have an app to auto run after comming from standbu, hopefully someone knows.

Just install cab and you will get your wondows boot screen changed.
My 5cents
I have gotten the slider program to work via SkTools (memmaid will work too) and made a notification to run the program coming out of a wake up. However currently I have found this extremely buggy... ie sometimes the program runs multiple times when coming out of standby and sometimes causes an error..
My main use was to replace the now screen from mobile shell with this, seeing as that was my favorite part of mobile shell. If anyone knows of a program better for this, or has had better experience with getting the slider to work in wm6 out of standby, please let me know.

To have it run after you come out of standby, you need to add a "Notification Queue" entry for the slide.exe file with the WHEN setting of " The Device woke up"
You can add entries for any system state changes to the notification queue to run any program.

Smoother screen rotation

how can i make the screen rotation smoother (by gsensor)when using opera, photo, my gsensor seems doesn't work well, i want it do the rotation once i make the movement, but it doesn't. like i need to shake it after the turn. sound stupid....
also, any application like the samsung i908 one? the animation rotation.
Thank you
kickmys - there is a program called "Gyrator 2" not too sure if that's the correct spelling, but yeah, there's that program, which not only makes it alot nicer to the eye, but also makes landscape and the g-sensor work together in every screen. ie you can have the portrait homescreen in landscape if you just turn the phone as with everything else.
oh wow i had no idea gyrator 2 lets TF3D work in landscape as well. damn i cant wait for the fuze. i already downloaded so much software in preparation

no no no. You misread. That is a hardcoded issue. TF3D is made to work in portrait. IT WILL NOT WORK IN LANDSCAPE. Only the shortcuts will. So it will not allow you to access tf3d in landscape. That is a manila issue, not software.

Um, I'm sorry. Do you know what you're talking about? And which youtube video are you referring to?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecvGg8qgq5o&feature=related
or
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2cju8y39CY
and even if you're talking about any of the above, when you switch to landscape in manilla it brings up the following screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

So again it does not show TF3D IN LANDSCAPE like lbhocky19 thought and I hope that is what you meant. Because I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about since TF3D was hardcoded to be portrait only and
when in landscape. So again. If you have proof, I'm willing to believe you.
Is that when you open the keyboard that would be the screen that is displayed is it not?
If you leave the phone in portrait mode, turn on the Gyrator 2 program and then turn the phone 90 degrees clockwise or anti-clockwise it should just turn the screen to the landscape mode and not have the quick links buttons or whatever they're called.
I'm not arguing just trying to get my thoughts through the fingers and onto the keyboard.

Hey sadams39, let's learn together. I am from NSW, and just last week got my hands on a 3 Mobile build of this brilliant phone. I jumped from Vodafone (with a Nokia N70) to this work of art on Optus, simply because Voda have totally ignored the Hunter Region and Newcastle for installation of HSDPA/EDGE. And, just in case you ask, Yes! the model you buy from 3 Mobile is capable of going on Telstra's Next-G; the Raph automatically sets itself up depending on what provider SIM card you put in.
First things first, get rid of the 3 Mobile ROM once you get it. I threw on the original HTC ROM the day after I got my hands on my Raph (links below to stuff you need) and it works beautifully. Only pain in the ass I'll say about the blokes on this site, though - when they post stuff it seems they forget there's an awful amount of no0bs reading the forums, and they subsequently let verbosity go out the window on a few occasions.
Ok, links to get you started.
1st, here's where you'll find the programs that update the phone to a state where you can update the 'firmware' (ROM). You have to do this first, or a ROM update won't work (they call it 'bricking' the phone)
HardSPL - Raphael Unlock thread
2nd, go here to find the original HTC ROM - as well as other people's designs:
Raphael ROM Developers thread
Success is assured if you follow the instructions posted by these guys to the letter - they've been mucking around with these things a lot longer than us, so they honestly do know what they're talking about. Search this Raphael thread thoroughly, be nice to others (and be helpful, if you find out something that you think may be worthwhile sharing) and you will find gold!

I apologize for coming off so rudely. I do that sometimes. Well it does, but it will still have the quick link buttons because that is manila's landscape. I mean it doesn't change the program's display. Just the orientation. So it would have the same effect as when the keyboard is slid out. Just to clarify. It would work in any program except for touchflo3d since it doesn't work in landscape. It will only show the quick links. That is because the program just access it's landscape orientation. Not fit it to screen.

No hard feelings?
Right about what? I personally didn't see him rotating on the homescreen. Plus, that could've been Diamond, but regardless, I didn't see the TouchFlo2D (Manila2D) part flick to landscape.

Keep Manila2D, Just Change Themes !

I think the next best thing to having a stable and speedy ROM is the ability to change the OS theme every once in a while, or frequently, which makes it very important to have a collection of themes on hand. You would need of course the M2DC ( customizer ) to add the theme of choice.
before you start changing themes, you need to back up your ROM Theme. This is very important. to do so, open M2DC and in "restore" tab, click on "backup M2D Theme" just in case you need to go back to your original Theme.
I have compiled some of the nicest themes around, herewith. After downloading or saving them on your PC, you would need to change the theme file extension name of every theme you saved from zip to m2dct. This is very important, ie.. CleanClock_TWolf.zip becomes CleanClock_TWolf.m2dct .
Copy those themes on your SD card in a separate folder. Open M2DC and in "themes" click on "add" then start adding the themes one by one to your Manila Customizer Theme folder. You will be able to see how these themes look like on the Theme window of M2DC.
During the theme being applied a pop up window asks you if you are going to keep/or change the original icons, tabs and weather screen. very important to keep the weather screen unchanged. ( Check mark the first line box ).
This will help you not get bored with your phone and will look like you have a new ROM every time you install a new theme.
i know this is redundant thread, however, I felt there are a lot of noobs here now and they are flashing Roms right and left, just because they see the screen shots of the cooked ROM. this I hope will reduce the flashing errors and the ForNoGoodReason.
I have no objection if someone wants to take a task upon himself or herself to upload screen shots of those themes.
ps.... All Credits go to the creators of these themes.
more themes to upload to your device.
Here you go... more themes....
I tried to upload more themes, but the server keeps kicking me out... I hope that gives you a good start on customizing the way your kaiser looks.

Very good topic albeit that M2DC thread and denco7's HTC thread have the relevant info.
About above quote not important as M2DC supports .zip or .m2dct so no need to change the extension.
Just make sure them theme is not a .zip'd .m2dct.

Don't do it on purpouse Would be very good if could get sticked in Kaiser software section as there are still many noobs asking how to install M2D, how to change them.
The denko7 link also provides how to install M2D so killz 2 birds with one stone
iPhone by Lepsyfou Hung?
asfoor,
I tried iphone_by Lepsyfou and it always hung when I slide to SMS page on M2D. Even removing M2D from Today Setting won't close it and the only way is to SR. Other functions are ok though .. I suspected something is wrong with the image files. Do you mind testing and confirming?

Chris,
lepsyfou's theme includes two widgets that our standard M2D can not support unless you add them. I believe he added "Phone" and "Nav" tabs. You will have glitches with his theme for sure unless you modify the M2d registry and add the strings for widget he included. I am sorry I do not have time to test it fully, but I believe thats what is causing your freeze, not the SMS. It will freeze even when you slide to start Google.
There is another iPhone Theme that has the widget that are mapped to our M2D's and will not cause the freeze.
interesting thread.Thx guys
Asfoor,
I even tried copying manually just the image files, thinking it will simply replace the existing files, and the image will change. It always stuck on SMS (whenever I swipe to highlight SMS). It runs well for other tabs that currently we have, except for SMS ..
All done while Manila is disabled.I suspected the image file (png) is corrupted somehow, though, but will check when I have time.
Thanks for the tips though. I'll try again by removing the unused files, and run it through M2DC.

Thanx matrix for taking the time to post the images of the themes. I am experimenting with ThrottleLauncher_1.0_RC1 that integrates 3D without using too much resources. If someone wants the Cab file to test, here it is. Please post your results and images if you have time.
Remember to disable HTCHome or Manila prior to installing. After Install you can only run one theme or OS. This is the latest from Throttle Launcher.
Here is the direct link to Throttle Launcher website. The cab file I posted above is of the most recent version of TL, and is a non-beta and free to the users.
http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/56-tlauncher/119-10rc1release
The License is valid till May 12, 2009. A lifetime License is offered by APBilbo for a nominal donation of $1.00 ... Of course, larger donation is greatly appreciated by APBilbo; He has continuously supported our Kaiser firmware and software development and pioneered very appreciated OS enhancement all of us are enjoying everyday.

You are aware that Manila2D is a derivative of Throttle Launcher, which is a depiction of SPB Shell, right? HTC decided to adopt TL but wanted to change the name to Manila when the OS was first introduced to HTC Diamond.
There is one issue with the current release of TL RC1, and I am sure it has to do with other 3rd party programs. It will be resolved with a fix very soon.
The new SPB Shell V3.0 is by far more advanced than the current Manila3D, and offers a sophisticated/advanced touchFlo features iPhone dreams of having. If you can, give it a try and see what I am talking about. Maybe TL will follow the footsteps of SPB which in turn gets adapted by HTC R&D.

Hi asfoor!
glad you're experimenting with TL . Let me know if you have any doubts or problems... About your comment about licensing, as you've said the CAB file includes a license valid until 12 May, but users will always be able to download as much licenses as they want for free at www.throttlelauncher.com/keygen . So there's not time limit on how long you can use ThrottleLauncher for free, just you've to visit the web once a month (licenses last for that long). Also I'm sending lifetime licenses for users helping with themes and supporting TL (even with 1$ donations)....
Thanks for your interest!!

Well here it is, our first attempt at a full theme, right now we are running it on top of and it has been tested on Energy GTX roms 6.5 and 6.5.x as well as his standard cookie.
All parts are working fine on all three devices we build them on , but consider this a phase1 or beta as a complete theme. Reason being is if there is anything you think we should change or any icons that seem to be stock or out of place , we would appreciate the feed back and will be constantly updating it as we find new stuff to add or stuff that people think would look better another way.
Packed so far.
A full Orange Street icon set consisting of 704 sense icon changes. Including all digital clocks and number sets. Slider. Ect
A new action screen.
Wallpapers for the homescreen/ alltabs/ and weather specific wallpapers (we wil lshow you how to use these later.
Coming soon.
A fully OrangeStreet skinned Advanced End Key running via Mr Kurt Willems
A whole bunch of cool stuff designed to work with the latest CHT build
All in all its a fun build with some neat stuff.. so take it , break it, cut it into pieces, use what youd like and toss the rest.. and if you want something fixed or a new icon built, just point it out and one of us will build it or fix it for you asap, those of you who speak manila fluently, let us know the file name and it will be editted quicker.
If you modify or change this in anyway or cook it into anything all we ask is a head nod our direction and a post on this thread letting us know.

Nice work sir; and I'm totally agree with optiknerv; The skin what you have done on the HTC messaging window is cool.
PayPal buttons aren't so difficult to introduce; just don't make use of the HTLM code; it will not work.

Looks Really good.
Congratulations with the theme
Sure looks sweet and fresh.

Great! Great! Great!
The weather wallpapers files are portrait and landscape weather wallpapers set to this theme. .but they are designed to be ran on a lua script we have that is in a beta program we are playing with.. we will be the first to show you how to use them as soon as the beta goes green..
The weather icons are part of the icon pack.. but if some people want just the sun and moon ill gladly post a manila cab with just our weather icons.

As the messaging setup is cooked into the ROM im afraid neither of us have much knowledge of how to get it working.
Perhaps the original creator might be able to help you in getting it to work on a different build.....
NRGZ does off the cab for htc messaging as an add on in his rom thread so it might be worth trying that cab by itself, I dont know if its specifically designed to work on his ROMS though.........
Sorry we cant be of more help......

Aedon's FULL Dusk Keyboard Skins

So youve tried looking for keyboard skins befor and were excited about the great new look it gave your phone right?
BUT
You were dissapointed to find that it only skinned the very basic onscreen qwerty right?
I know I was.
SO
I did something about it.
If your familiar with the Sharkie rom, you might have noticed that his 5.0 rom featured a full keyboard skin in wich every single keyboard in the phone had been skinned in Dinik's iconic anastasia theme.
That was my first keyboard skin.
But after the fact I had noticed a themeI liked better then the anastasia glass.
The DUSK!
So I colaborated a bit more with sharkie to make this new full keyborad skin.
We decided that a traditional black and white look would be best and I went to work on this Dusk keyboard.
Stock Green is just that, a stock green version
Sharkie Bule was made to match the sharkie roms aqua blue them.
Crimson Red was basicly for my use but I'll share

Ok... if anyone else has an issue of having white text on your keyboards instead of black like its sapouse to, this is what you do.
Follow thees steps exactly.....
First, download the "Black ezinputs.zip" at the bottom of this post.
Extract the folder inside of it and place it somewhere on your storage card.
Using total commander, navagate to that folder and click it.
Now, 'right click' or hold down on the file inside of the folder. (the file name should be 'ezinput.dll') and hit 'Properties'
Uncheck all the boxes under attributes.
(just click on the check mark, and it you have to click it again if it goes gray rather then dissapearing)
Click ok at the botom of your screen.
Now go to your windows directory.
Find the ezinputs.dll in your windows directory and do the same thing.
After hitting ok, rename this file to 'ezinputs2.dll'
Go back to the file on your sdcard and right click it and select 'copy/move'
then on the next window you have 4 choices
copy
move
tree
cancel
Select 'tree', then click on 'windows' (it should be the last item on that list of folders)
After that, it will go back to the window with the 4 choices mensioned above.
Select 'copy'
It might take a min to do this, just wait.
Once its finished there, soft reset.
After its started up, your keys should be black again.
All thats left to do is go back into your windows directory and delete the 'ezinputs2.dll' file.
Reset again just to be safe.
That should take care of it.
This guide was written under the pretence that you have used some other keyboard skin or file that has changed your text to white.
(Otherwise Id say you dont even need to do this as your text should be black if nothing has been tampered with.....)
Reserved for future release

Someone has already made one, allthough kinda half finished.
He has all the files alvailable in a zip on his thread, but I dont think he knows how to make a cab.
I could probable make one though.
Would you mind posting a pic of the exact type your interested in?
Ive seen a few different types called wp7 themed but they all just looked just like blue squares.
Is blue what your looking for or some other color
Or do you mean make a keyboard for windows 7 phones and not a 6.5 windows phone?
why dont make android keyboard :]
If you send me 3 files, 1 each of the Black key, Silver Key, and Blue key I will theme my Android Keyboard with them and see how it works out. Then you can share it with others.

This is the keys that would need to be themed for HTC_IME.apk
If you can theme these keys I will try to add to my keyboard and see if they work.

very nice looking skins but i have a small issue. the keyboard installed ok but my letters/numbers/symbols have stayed white where as yours in the screenshots have turned black, there pretty hard to see in white. is there a fix...?
thanks.

If you have installed someone elses keyboard in wich they turned the letters to white, then one of the files in their skins is still effecting the phone.
My cab has nothing to do with this.
If you look threw your windows directory using total commander, look for a file called " exinput.dll " and try and delete it. If that doesnt work then Im afraid a hard reset will have to be performed since I dont know of any other way to get rid of it.
Let me know if you can delete it, if you cant I will do some more research on it.
Maybe there is a file that can change them back to black...
But Ive looked through that file a few times and didnt see any hexcode for color so Im not sure.
I'll look through it again.
Sorry about that
*Edit*
I didnt think to ask but is your stock keyboard letter color white?
If so then maybe the stock ezinput is black in wich case I can pull my file and post it lol.
thanks for the reply bud. i was using diniks v3 keyboard which seemed to uninstall ok. i've looked for the file you suggested , take a look at the image and you'll notice a file close to the one you said but i wont delete anything untill i know a bit more. in all honesty mate, i cant remember what colour the original keys were, its been that long......i should mention im using stock rom. we could maybe try the method you suggested by ripping the file from whatever an i'll just try it an see what happenes. top looking skin though man !!!.
cheers....

ya thats the file sorry, I hit x on accident.
Its "eZ" not 'eX' lol my bad
If its a system protected file, then the phone will tell you that it cant be deleted. And even if it does get deleated, if you soft reset your phone, it will make a new one from the roms stock image.
Thats why most cabs make you soft reset so that the phone doesnt delete what youve put and go back to the stock image it has in the rom.
So if nothing else it shouldnt do anything at all if you delete it.
And ya, that anastasia cab has the file to make the keys white.
Im sunning sprint lovers rom right now, but I normally use the referance stock of energy.
Im going to hard reset my phone now (I installed the ezinputs file befor mentioning it to be sure) and look for the same file to see if it has a way of going back to black keys or if the white keys is only from that file.
Check back in about... say 10 mins?
I should have an answer for you
cool !!....

So I found the stock ezinputs file on my phone, so it does have one in the phone stock to make the keys black.
My phone isnt letting me copy it though.....

Im going to ask a buddy of mine to send me the stock file.
Every time I have a problem getting a file off my phone, Sharkie can always get it to me lol
I should have it pretty soon. Hes very good about anwering messages.
Just be sure to check back later on.
I'll post a cab for white fonts and black fonts for people who want it
Thanks for using the skins.
Are you on an HD2 or a touch pro 2?
thanks for your efforts mate, i really appreciate it !!. im using a hd2, its still on stock rom but it seems to run pretty sweet considering all the mods and graphic changes i've done to it, great phone all in all......
Thanks.
Ive been trying to get some feedback from HD2 users.
The chef who made the rom Im using used a different keyboard then the stock one that comes on the touch pro 2 and Ive been trying to see if it was the one fro the hd2, wich it appears to be.
