***READ THE #3 POST ON HERE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IF YOU ARE NOT SURE***
I am wondering if there is something out there to allow me to basically Cook a rom but at the same time build the Look and layout of the screens with images and other files rather than the Stock Diamond ROMs and other floating around. I have a Vista Theme that I have been building for it seems about 10-12 hours so far within the last couple days but building it on the PC for quicker work rather than phone and then somehow load it on the Kaiser would be awesome.
I hope that is somewhat clear.
Any help would be great. thanks
what do u mean mate
what he wants is rom emulation on his desktop so he can build themes without having to load the theme on his phone first which my inlude flashing a new rom so it takes him a lot of time he needs a good theme manager or WM6.1 emulation

Haha I knew it wasnt too clear.
Ok basically I want to be able to Cook a ROM, and Customize the Screen layouts with different images and files rather than having to customize it all on the phone as it can be quite slow. I would like to have a program that you can keep the image files all on your computer and build on it in some sort of GUI or something then be able to flash the Custom ROM with all the Files and Layouts already built.
Any better?

You are the MAN!!! Thanks for helping out bud. I really appreciate it. Thats exactly what I am looking for. I used to do it with old Motorola's and was hoping there was something like that for the HTC.
So u need M$ WM6.1 Device emulator or MyMobiler or Mobiano Theme Box?

If thats what it takes to build a Theme on the PC and then load it to the Kaiser then yes haha.
Will MyMobiler allow me to get into Files and Folder on the Kaiser? Would it be Real Time Building or could I build the Theme with all the necessary files and then Load/Flash it to the Kaiser?

I just read a little on that and see you can load themes but will it allow me to fully build a Theme and load it on there?
Are the above my best options as i see that Mobiano doesnt allow me to build Themes only transfer existing ones.

Hi guys,
I flashed to the new WM6 ROM, looks gr8, but when I try to change the theme (.tsk) to other themes that I used to have on WM5, the background image does not update...
so is WM6 incompatible with WM5 themes??? I did not install any version of XButton in my ROM...
Whenever I update my theme, I get the HTC default background image but theme colors update correctly...
what is this? any solution?
I have exactly the same problem and anybody knows how can i fix it but i hope that the people of xda can help us
Greetings, Diego!!!
First do this test pls
Hi,
can you install this skin pack Here
if the background dos not change maby you have to change to a difrent rom (i recomend XDA2a)
Greets Antonius
I will try this, but switching to a different rom is not that easy, I spent much time personalizing things on my PPC.. I will be sad if that would be the only solution
EDIT: it did not work and I am really bored solving problems with WM6,, any solution here?
Shut off htc xbutton (settings, system task)
Change theme
Then turn it on.
Did you try installing your .tsk files to the root of your SD card instead of to the windows folder?

Okay, I'm having problems tracking down which process is X-Button to kill it - what's the process name?
Ok i turned of X-Button and restarted my wiz, and then i changed the theme, nothing happened. I don't understand when i load the cab it doesn't extract properly or what.... the start menu that pops down when you click on start seems to get the theme loaded right but the background picture it loads to Default black. i dont understand what is blocking it....
all i can say is LOL

This is a known problem when using X-button. Either find the latest version of X-button (1.51 or something similar). Or go to start>settings>system>X-button and uncheck the boxes that says "enable X-button to end programs..."
If you do not have X-button installed, Then try changing your theme, waiting a few minutes and then soft-reset.
Nothin was right about themegence being the best freeware theme maker. I've used it to make every one of mine. If you go to MoDaCo to the Pocket PC Today Screens QVGA in the downloads section I have 30 or 40 of them in there that I've made. I'm going to have to check out where you guys are downloading yours from and see if I can figure out why they aren't working. Usually, at least the ones I've seen, you don't install them from a cab file. They're usually just zipped or a straight tsk file that you put straight in to either the windows folder or in the root folder of you sd card.
Well, I figured that out pretty quick. If you guys are all downloading them from pocketpcthemes.com, they are not working because the wallpaper part of it is not in the right format to fit a wizard. The images are too big so it's not using them, instead it's using the default wallpaper instead. Try downloading from the MoDaCo downloads section that I mentioned in the post just above this one, they should all work. I know that the one's that I made and mandt made will work for sure. I'll try uploading a bunch more there within the next day or 2 also. If there's any at that pocketpcthemes site that you really have to have, I could probably fix a few of them so they will work if you let me know which ones they are.
@xeno
what program do you use... I used them gence to gen my theme and it dint work
edit: I downloaded the themes from modaco, n they all work great. even w/ x-button. omg u r best xeno. but tell us wut u use to make theme so we can make too.
now what is the difference between PocketPCThemes tsk files and ModaCo tsk files?

austinsync, i know this is completely unrelated, but in another thread you said you had the official HTC WinMo 6.1...I was wondering if that had the same new interface that was shown on BGR?
(http://www.boygeniusreport.com/2007/12/07/windows-mobile-61-video-walkthrough/)
Thanks.
nicely done austinsync!
Any screenshots?
I dont know if your being sarcastic or not, but winmo in that video is for the smartphone edition a.k.a winmo standard. the kaiser runs on winmo professional. So no it does not have what you were asking for.

ok, then you just confirmed that microsoft is truly retarded, actually offering something really decent in winmo 6.1 for smartphone but not for professional.
may I ask why you'd decided on this ROM ( reboot bug ) instead of the others ???
3.02 has older softwares ... I can understand that ...etc
but why not v3.08 ??
just wondering ...
I've used your "BigStorage" ROM before ... great work !!! it left the custom installing to us users, that's what I like !!!
the new VodaPhone ROM is lots slower even though it is "newer" I did lots of testing and this is the fastest ROM to date. I will post screen shots soon as I have been cooking something new using this base If it works out well I think you all will like it!
the reboot bug is a small issue that is worth having for what you get with this rom After using KaiserTweak or Shaps tool and ajdusting the cache sizes it flys!!

what would you recommend Austinsnyc
Ive experimented with the cache here and there and have never really ran the necessary tests to see which combination delivers the best results. Your expertise would be much appreciated.
I havent tried any 6.1 roms yet, but yours was the first one I flashed to when I got my kaiser. Welcome back and keep up the good work...
I'm uploading now about 5 minutes....
Always set the cache to the largest they can go we have the program memory room in the kaiser so nothing to worry about
first post updated!!!! enjoy! If you like the work please remember to donate to DaniaL for his exchange 2007!! Thank you...

Austinsnyc which application do you prefer to use when setting the cache to highest settings. Schap's or KaiserTweak or does it really matter because they are both adjusting the registry.

I am a dutty rom freak and install everything he puts out
his newest 6.1 rom rocks my socks
im not sure i like the red, even though it is growing on me
i think dutty linked to an alternate skin but it was just for cube
i saw a rom by SLither with a BADASS skin, but im not putting any non dutty rom on my piece
anywhere i can get roms for Dutty 6.1 ...oh and yes i did forum searxh first

ROM's for Dutty...what do you mean by that...you mean applications?
i think he meant skins, colors, etc...right?
He is probably confused that the UI colors are exclusive to a certian rom, all you need is to install a cab that adds the theme to your device, no rom flashing needed. Once you have one rom you can add anything to it that can be installed via cab or from active sync via computer.
i do mean skins ...like the slither rom skin is SICK, so cool
i need some good skins
try the HTC Home Customizer. i like it. works for me...

Tmous stock. I'm loading this beast up now i'll let you know.
I actually was less impressed when i put it on the machine. I couldn't for the life of me get the taskbar or softbar on my phone to change so it really took away from what the them could have been.
I went back to stock but if i could figure out how to get it to look like the example pictures they give then i'd go back in an instant.
I love the theme!! Only thing left to be done is to change the start menu font colour to black.

Im scared to install it on my HD2 running stock ROM 1.72.831.1 because it reports the manilla version as 1.0.19211620.0 and I have hearded that it can't be "uninstalled".
Anyone tried it?

Do you have an Asian HD2?
Haven´t tried that one, actually, I have a European device...
About the second question: It´s true, uninstalling a theme like GTX may not be as effective as a hard reset.
Therefore, even if you test GTX by yourself on your device and if you discover too many issues, you can always hard reset your phone.
Yeah its a HK HD2.
I really don't want to hard reset cos I have many hours of customisation work gone into it. I might give it a shot nxt time I ipgrade the ROM before I tweak anything else
Yeah its better if it is the first thing what you install on your new rom other wise you get problems etc...

You should use SASHIMI to make the customization process much more easy.
I started to use it everytime I flash a new rom and it is one of the most useful apps out there
You can restore also regs, copy files, install cabs...all automated.

Why don't you make a backup of your device, with e.g. Sprite, PimBackup etc?
If you first make a backup and install GFX and you notice it has too much bugs/problems, you can just hard reset your phone and put your backup back

i want to try to make a windows xp theme for 6.5.X.
i thought, that would be cool, because the start button is on the lower taskbar..
i have a strong opinion of how it will look like, but i don´t know anything about creating themes for windows phone..
what programs can i use for creating this? i have read about microsoft custom theme creator, but when i load it, it says: there aren´t any windows phone 6.5 pro devices for your locale...
and i can´t load it..
what do all the others use for creating themes???
after i made 1 version for VGA, i will try to create all the other versions!
thanks, Downlord
You should first find all the files that you want to skin and then use a program like GIMP to mod or create your the files for your theme.
I think it's a great idea, too bad you are a bit late Check this http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7848598&postcount=2

/windows on your phone .
The easiest way is to download someone else's theme and see what files they skinned. You can then modify those ones or find the stock ones in your kitchen ( or /windows on your phone). You can edit manila graphics with cfcgui by Chainfire. Some things are just png's/bmp's/etc. for windows tsk's, but you also control some system colors in the registry (changed when you change a tsk).
You should really change your title to Question??? or something. Right now it looks like you make a theme for every device (except maybe hvga), and it sounds like you have a while before it will be complete.
waiting for qvga
how can i change it to a question??
