Themes, Skins and Dr Gonzos WM6.1 v1.1 - HTC Vox

Ive recently flashed my vodafone v1415 with the brilliant Dr Gonzos WM6.1 rom.
So far Ive been really pleased and had no issues other than being able to get a theme to be consistent.
Ive installed some WM6.1 themes from the forum here and they change the menu colours and background images but the call progress screens and branding brick are still the ones from the WM6.1 rom.
I know where all there images exist but do i have to customize theses each time i want to change my theme?
surely upon a new theme being installed theses should be changed accordingly?
Any help much appreciated!

Most themes do not set these screens. Complete ones that come packed as a CAB might add a new incoming/outgoing call screen, information screen and brandingbrick - however the majority of themes do not.

Thanks for the response.
Is there any way to either;
1) Get the original HTC ones installed?
or
2) Where could I find some .cab themes which would do this?
The different colours all over the place are highly annoying!!
Thanks

Hm, I can make you a cab with the original HTC version of branding brick and call screens, if that is what you want and if I can find the files! Otherwise, my in theme hread (signature), there are three version of branding brick and call screens which go nicely with my themes!

It isn't really a problem if I can just get hold of the files that would be fine.
Thanks

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

There is also a program called Manila Customizer that will let you change individual items like clocks, icons, etc. without changing the whole theme.

And this can be put on the Fuze without it being unlocked or whatever? I too am a bit ticked that the demos I saw had the flipping animation and this one doesn't. Cool thing to showoff. Although once its said and done, I think I'll go back to my normal WM desktop that I used on my Tilt.

Is there confirmation that Manila Customizer works on the Fuze?
Yes on Manila Customizer
I have the Fuze and have used Manila Customizer, Diamond TF3d both to change the theme of the Fuze. I found themes in the Diamond theme section, but when I went to all black etc and some of the other themes touchflo performance wen't down, the slider was rapid, but the people pictures took like 5 seconds to come up, same with programs and music.
After spending tons of time on this since Saturday, I've left the ATT theme, and changed things like the icons and slider through Manila Customizer and added some other things through cabs found there to change just specific things like the heroes and bottom icons. This leaves the basic tf3d theme as ATT and it looks completely different, but performance is still all immediate.
If you're a noob like me, you have to read through all the threads in the diamond theme section and you'll start to get good information. FYI, be careful on some of the themes etc., they are for diamond and landscape goes haywire and is basically unusable.

thx for the info.

Manila Customizer overwrite existing manila?
For those who have use Manila Customizer:
Do it overwrite the manila.exe that comes with the Fuze?
If so, I may need to backup some of those files before installing customizer.
ive been reading up on fuze tweaks and had a question. if you do that process to skip all the bloatware stuff, will you get the att theme still or the normal htc one. if not does antone have just the stock manilla 3d cab so we can just do the bloat skip and install that?
Q. Installed and put in all the folders with the icons, clocks, etc. and for some reason when I check the glass flip clock it just stays at the stock clock. Also, when switching to any other clock, It will keep the time at zero.. Something I'm doing wrong here? Everything else changes with no problem.

Thanks for that report. I had also switched to the HTC Black theme on my Fuze, and found the same slowdowns that you had, no matter what tweaks I applied.
Yea, same here. Seems like that is the only way to get working flip clocks for the fuze..?

I found a couple of things out, maybe this helps. The clock on my standard fuze is called a sprint clock (solid numbers and a rectangle background)? I found the Sprint2flip clock in the diamond thread and loaded it on my fuze and it works without turning everything into all zeroes.
It's in post #178 on this thread. It does mess up the option to scroll up the clock, but I don't really care about that.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...420887&page=18
After you have this sprint2flip clock on you can then load other flip clocks and they work. I won't attest to all, it seems hit and miss, but I've put on 7 or 8 different ones and they've all worked so far. I haven't checked that thread in a while b/c I'm travelling so don't know if there's a better alternative.
The wallpaper4all from mUn is the only thing that jacked up my clock to all zeroes and I had hard reset, but I was going to anyway, just fyi.
I would be interested in knowing if anyone finds a fix to get the scroll up working again.

Yea but this don't change the clock or anything. I have been using the program and I haven't noticed a difference enough to warrent uninstallng the theme. Question though, what blacktouchpro theme are you using? do you have a link?

Manila .1922 Mods and Tweaks

Im going to try and start a thread for collecting some mods and tweaks for Manila .1922 and above since it seems like a lot of tweaks that were collected for Sense 2.5 before actually break under .1922 and in some instances also crash Manila somteims requireing a hard reset.
Here is what i've found so far :
Max Ultimate Theme - This is a great utility for applying a bunch of popular tweaks all at once as part of a theme, has a settings panel to do on the fly customizations... very useful!
There are separate weaks available for BG4All and for the quicklinks, but since Max Ultimate covers most of them.... theres no need for that.
There is however a need for transparencies, such as bottom slider, top curtain, top bar, softkey bar, calendar, etc. These customizations are not applied with max Ultimate and its hard to find ones for .1922 or which ones will work with tha manila version. Changing the cloks is also not clear, you can try MaxTTM but some of the components work with .1922 and most of them dont.
HDWall is also a great utility to play around with some transparenices but does not seem to have a .1922 patch yet.
If you come across your .1922 tweaks, please post them here.
Thanks
Where can I donwload the 1922 from?
I have the default Orange 1919 one.
I know I miss using HDwall...I love windows 6.5.5 and 1922.....sometimes i want to go back...but I wont hope a patch is made soon. Doesnt seem like anyone is even working on it
so, can i get the 1922 on my htc touch orange branded?

Will Custom Themes Work With Custom Roms?

Gday all i just installed the Energy Rom from manila version.
I had the BUUF and FallOut 3 Themes installed in manila and i would like to put them back on, i didnt want to do it just incase they dont work and brick the phone.
So i was wondering if i am able to put those themes back on the phone with the custom rom in currently using?
Thanks.
It varies per ROM. I think NRGZ28 adds System/ROM/Read-Only attributes to some Manila Files, so you CAN install a Custom Theme without worry, but some manila parts might not properly 'skin'.
Try to install one of the themes, restart your device, and report back. I can help you further after you have installed and restarted, and posted back here.
OK, i installed the BUUF Theme with the following cabs,
Degake - Email tab
Rawrscary's - Buuf Tabs, Weather, Music (Manila 2.5.1921)
Sniper-worf -Buuf slider
Rawrscary - Buuf Digital Clock
They all seem to install ok and at this moment in time they all seem to be working without any errors.
Ill use my phone as per normal over the next couple of days and see how it goes and report back.
After a day of casual use (made a few phone calls, played a couple of games, used a few apps) and i didnt see any theme errors or glitches, as far as i can tell it seems that the theme has installed and works just as good as it does with manila.
That's great!
Glad to hear you're having no issues.

Let's see... ALL manila files in ANY ROM (custom or OEM) are "read only" "system" "ROM", because they're cooked in ! lol Get your facts straight first..
Ah, my bad.

Characterising my phone - some clarification please

I blame mskip for this!
There I was with my stock HD2 and enjoying a really smart phone for 8 months.
Then I decided to look for an update to quicklinks to work with the 3.14 ROM and he introduced me to the idea!
So I went from CHT 1.85 to CHT2
And then I saw all the fantastic homescreens.
So I have installed so far:
Brian's Taskbar (gfreek edition) - it was my little boy's call to go with this over Diniks
Rat_2556's coloured notifications
I see some things by Touch of Glass that I like; many things by Dinik that I like and Franwella's Coloured Comms Manager that I like.
(I still have not found a Slider for the Manilla/Sense that I like yet)
Could someone please confirm that there will be no problem to "mix and match" different things from these different people eg (say) the TOG dialer and the Dinik keyboard etc?
Could some one point me to a nice tweak to the Calendar appearance as well please?
Thanks
Mixing things won't cause problems with your device . But with every custom made item you can't guarantee that it will work 100% of the time. But then you just uninstall that item. There will be no permanent damage! And it doesn't matter if you install things made by different people.
Don't know about a nice calender mod though...
you could try dinik mods by you thread,jsmmcabe has done some calendar mods
in Anastasia stylee
If you are still on stock ROM the only thing that you must look fore is that your skins (the one you will install) match with WM 6.5
Ow, don't forget to install "sdkcertsnew2015" its mostly needed on the lasts builds.
Thanks all - and yep I have installed both the old and the new SDKCerts already ( I needed them for the taskbar I think)
