I've been trying out various themes on my HTC S710/VOX and have messed up the original/default themes on it. Could anyone help me with restoring my phone to its default theme i.e home screens + other screens.
Use Total Commander on your phone to copy the homescreen .xml and associated files from the ROM and place them in your \Application data\Home directory in Flash, or do a hard-reset to restore all files from ROM.

Thanks mate...a hard-reset fixed it.
No problem mate.

Hello.
I'v trying this for a couple of hours without effects.
Dumped rom, builded modules with PKGTool. Files are in OEM/Oemdrivers and SYS/Chome. It does't run by just copying. Need some way to regsvr dll files. Because Chome plugin is accesing partial plugins by GUID.
Anyone have idea?
I did the exact same thing. I haven't had any time to try anything else because I have finals next week. I'll let you know if I get anything
To all helpfull shadow users
Can some T-Mobile Shadow user backup those registry keys?
all those are in HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\
Code:
{D7B35490-A4B2-4ef4-BF8D-332C4979F14E}
{892B90CB-9806-427e-8BED-F45C6A9E576B}

or better just backup HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ and send me PM - I'll sent my mail.
You can use Registry Workshop to do this.
Those keys don't contains any personal information or settings so it's safe- don't worry.
//////////////////////////Edit////////////////////////////////
I've recieved all CLSID from [email protected]://allshadow.com forums but still no luck...
I'll be getting my own Shadow in a couple of days. I can do the backup then. Once again, I don't have much time to do anything else because of school and a robotics team I'm on.
Nice job finding those keys!
When I tried flashing my first rom with all of the CHome plugin stuff in it, the ROM flash to the wizard stopped at 78%...
I uploaded all the plugins and .png + reg entries that seems to be used with the chome home screen. all files are here:
http://www.esnips.com/doc/14b31b95-2c8f-4ae9-a6c9-1453df7d05e6/shadow
copy all the files in Windows to Windows folder. Add all the registry entries and copy T-mobile_basic_blue to Application Data\home\ folder.
Once I've tried to put all the files to my phone, I even got all the regedits (or maybe I've missed something) and I just got a white space on my homescreen.
how do i add the registry's to my phone?? do i add them with a reg edit app??

You cannot normally import .reg files on smartphones. However Resco Explorer from resco.net can do that.

Have You manage to run this plugin on non shadow device?
Files are easy to extract but make it work does not.
I tried on qtek 8500. It doesn't run and after reset the device stucks. Need a hard reset to factory defaults to work again. fortunately I had a backup.
I just got my own T-Mobile Shadow and I found out that you need to have a .scheme/.home XML file that sets the plugin. I think it's called cmhome.home. Also, you need cmhomeres.dll.0409. I'm going to try adding these in to the rom...
...unless they are already there and I haven't noticed

Can somebody upload new Shadow update to rapidshare?
I'll post it as soon as I get home. School's proxy blocks FTP upload/download and exe files.
Rom link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=5GART6H6. Sorry I forgot to upload before
Thanks for posting the new ROM!
I had some success with the old one here:
http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y15/GnatGoSplat/3125Shadow/
It was a complete ROM port though. I'll see about making a CAB when I have some free time.
cant wait wanted it since shadow came out...i have s620 will it work with landscape
long version:
I've tried to use the solution in here for my blackstone in order to fix the arab-numbers issue on my ppc.
I've downloaded the tahoma.ttf and tahomabd.ttf files
rename the existing files to tahoma.ttf_old and tahomabd.ttf_old
I copied the files from the sd to the /windows folder and SRed the device.
all the hebrew fonts were screwed and blank squares were shown where normally the letter would be,
I got worried, so I checked the "/windows" forlder and I've noticed new files were created.
so now I have 3 versions of each file in the folder:
for tahoma:
tahoma.ttf (original, was created after the SR)
TAHOMA.TTF (the one I copied from the SD, yes, its the same name only the letters are in different case)
tahoma.ttf_old (the backup of the font including hebrew letters)
same goes for tahomabd.
renaming the tahoma.ttf or TAHOMA.TTF is not possible not from normal file explorer, not from resco file explorer and not from total commander (pocket-version), deleting the files didn't work as well ("can't delete file" or "can't rename file" error).
the font on quick dial was ok.
I've figured the problem was that the files were in use, so I've searched the folowing thread which changes the windows fonts folder, so I copied the new version to the /windows/fonts folder and changed the registry value...
it worked, I can see hebrew and normal numbers when the font is set to "right to left", but the fonts are in the wrong folder and I can't delete or rename the new files... which brings me to the...
short version:
how can I delete/rename (and then delete after SR) the "tahoma.ttf", "TAHOMA.TTF", "tahomabd.ttf" or "TAHOMABD.TTF" files from my /windows folder so I can change them with my own font files?
any help would be appreciated.
p.s.
I'm NOT using a coocked ROM and I would like to avoid reset to factory settings... as I've been spending the past week to make the device behave just the way I like it...
thanks in advance
Deleting Fonts in WM6/WM6.1
Rename the filename extension ".ttf" (i.e.: "Tahoma.ttf" --> "Tahoma.bak")
Then delete the font file. That's it. No need to reboot.
If you still can't delete it, reboot your device..Then try deleting again.
I've made a cab with the fonts
you can just install it.. and it'll make the arab numbers disappear
btw, the fonts were edited by InfX
EDIT: use Resco Explorer, it will work
I'm stuck with the same problem. I want to replace tahoma.ttf with the Vista version of it. It gives better results with cleartype. It always worked fine until I installed a newer ROM. I don't really understand the solution. Could anybody pleasy make a cab to replace the Tahoma en Courier New fonts with the default ones from Vista? I would be extremely thankful.
just use QuickCAB 1.0 to create a cab with the new fonts.

i have same problem
well, i also ever got the same problem
Sometimes, HTCHomeSetting.xml is not made to be put on windows folder but on Manilla gfx folder. And that used to be my problem
try to reinstal manilla2D, and use M2DC to backup and restore your default skin, i hope it's work
Your HTCHomeSetting.xml file is messed up.
Here is the stock XML file. Turn off M2D (untick TouchFLO in your today settings), drop this xml file in your windows folder and try reloading M2d.
I always keep the stock XML for instances like this. Even sometimes the restore doesn't fix itm2d issues.
Need Help setting up theme
I have tryed and tryed to figure out how to apply the theme ive downloaded and no luck. after downloading the theme it try to place the file into the windows folder on my phone and it will not go. I keep getting a error message that says the stuff is running, or can not copy it cuz its protected. or there isn;t enuff memory, witch i know thats not the case. I made sure that the touch flow is off in my today screen before i did it. i am kinda a noob at least when it come to the themes. so anything from someone would be nice. Manilla 2D is the theme and icons the whole bit that i want to get working. Please someone help b 4 i go insain. or point me in the right direction so i can find sum answers. Thanks
What kinda device are you installing this on?
How are you using to transfer the files? Activesync? WMDC? Total Commander?
Are you manually applying the theme or using M2D Customizer?

its a tmobile wing/ htc herald I put the files on my sd card throu activesync and then tryed to copy them to the windows folder on my phone memory. Not sure on how to do this at all I have figured out alot of other stuff just not the theme stuff
You shouldn't have to drop the XML on your SD card. Just browse for the windows folder on your device and drop it in there right away. If it doesn't let you drop it in the Win folder, then I would drop it on my SD card and use software called ''Total Commander''. TM is pretty much a file explorer but will let you change system files that would normally error.
Being I dont know all your circumstances, this is what I would do and how I have it setup on my phone. Works flawless as well. I can change themes in seconds.
If that XML file didn't cure your problems then I'm assuming you have issues elsewhere as well.
First I would remove M2D and reinstall it. Once you have that working again, download and install Manilla 2D Customizer...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
Create a new folder on your storage card and name it ''M2d Themes''. M2D customizer works with a file extension of ''.mtdct'' Some skinners will create there theme's file with this extension for you. It is nothing more then a zip file with the extension renamed.
If the theme's files your trying to install is compressed into zip format, just rename the file from ''.zip'' to ''.m2dct''. Drop the file into your new ''M2D Themes'' folder on your storage card, open up M2D Customizer and browse for the themes ''m2dct'' file you wish to install. Click ''Apply Theme'' and it does all the work for you.
I must have 30 themes in my M2D Themes folder and as I feel the need for a change, I'll load M2D Customizer and switch themes. It's a piece of cake!
Hope this helps.
My icons don't update correctly when I apply a new theme using M2DC...Someone mentioned that there are v1 and v2 themes but I can't for goodness sake distinguish between them. Apparently some hacked versions of M2D will only correctly use v2 themes...Any ideas/suggestions? I have searched all over but can't seem to find a solution other than overwriting the HTCHome...xml file...

Try looking for the older HTC home plug in and add that to th e kitchen.
Run the kitchen to look for double files then remove th double files from the HTC Home folder. when all the double files are gone, remove all graphics from HTC home folder, bring over theregistry settings from the htc home rgu to the top of the m2d rgu, also move the remaining files from the htc home folder to m2d folder.
Maybe that is what you are missing.

Dear All.
I am using HTC Home Plugin v.2.10 which allows to modify tab quantity.
I am very pleased with this verison. It's working fine, ecept brigthness function, but there is a solution for it, I don't need it, because I don't use to change brightness from HTC Home.
I need only to change Install Directory on this verison. It's not possible. After changing default install directory from /HTCHome to /Program files/HTC Home nothing appears on the screen. I have tried to make soft reset several times, but no result.
Who can change default install directory /Program files/HTC Home
for HTC Home 2.10?
Please...
I am attaching cab file to this message.
Thanks in advance.
you can unpack it using Package Creator and then repack it using the same app or CeCabManager
Thanks, I will try ...
Didn't work. Same problem.
If change install directory to /Program files/HTC Home the Application HTC Home doesn't appear on the device screen...
how did you initially change the installation directory?
I have never changed installDIR before. I used ready cab file.
But I don't like when programs(software) are installing to other directories. I like to see all the software on Progam Files folder.

I have changed installdir with help of Win CE Cab Manager.
On the files selected all files which were on /HTCHome directory and changed to /Program Files/HTC Home
It seems that it was not enough, it's needed to change some other setting but which settings I don't know.
