WM6 and WM5 themes.. Not Working

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?

What do you mean? I have nearly 250 .tsk files on mine (don't ask, when I get bored I make about 5 new ones, and I get bored a lot) and every one of them work.

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

are you trying to be funny? if yes i dont find anything funny to laugh about.... all i want to say is "if you cant help dont bother posting because you are just messing up the thread with bloat full of junk"

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?

Top border in TF3D - removal?

Hi,
Sorry if this is a question that's been asked before but I can't seem to find it by searching.
I recently installed the mod that allows you to put your wallpaper on all the manila tabs (mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02.cab), but since doing it I've noticed that a border remains at the top of each tab and my wallpaper is cut-off by it.
On my home tab, it doesn't look too bad as the date is shown in this border. Similarly in the music tab it looks kind of intentional as the shuffle and repeat icons are in there. But it looks awful on most other tabs - screenshots below!
Is this to do with the wallpaper mod I installed, or is there something else I can do to extend my wallpaper into this border?
Thanks!!

There's a cab floating around called nocurtains.cab.
You might want to try that.
I haven't tried it but it seems to do what you are looking for.

thanks! "curtains" was the phrase i needed in order to search

Hi...
Just a quick question...
are u using a theme or do you have TouchPRO Vodafone TF3D...
and if so what version TF3D do you have? (Settings Tab->about.....)

Yes I'm using Vodafone TF3D - not sure where in the about list I can see the TF3D version, butmy ROM version is 1.90.161.5 if that helps.

ok... do you know where I can download that ROM?
(or the TF3D manila files)
It's not in the about list... it's on the button (that changes colour when u press it)

I think there is a download for the TF3D scheme halfway down this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2687462
I downloaded it today as a restorable backup in case I decide to change my theme - but I haven't tried it yet. Let me know what it's like if you decide to try it No idea if the Vodafone Rom is available yet though ...

I think that's the old Vodafone TF3D from Diamond...
I found a Vodafone Raphael 1.90.161.5 ROM here...
http://rapidshare.com/files/147978863/vodafone.rar.html
btw.. you don't have to have a backup manilas to go back to original...
just delete all manila files from windows... (if u have TF3D in the ROM!)
and the original will be there (can't delete ROM files...)

Ok cool thanks. I know next to nothing about themes and editing for TF3D but I'm going to be doing lots of reading up!
If I was a bit more savvy I'd be glad to help you getting the Vodafone TF3D for you but I have no idea where to even start! If I have any luck I'll certainly post here

Verizon TP has landscape TF3D!?

i read a review on pocketnow.com and it looks like the verizon touch pro has full tf3d in landscape mode. can anyone confirm this and more importantly port it to fuze?

try here...already in theme format. just use diamond config to load, and you are good to go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2914105&postcount=1321

Don't a number of themes already work in landscape?

plenty just change colors and stuff
but that theme actually has touchflo as in theres tabs you can scroll through
in landscape

im sure more themes like verizons will be available soon. vzw's tp just came out recently, it shouldnt take long for more raph themes like that to show up

In case anyone was wondering, this theme works great on the Fuze. The TouchFlo in landscape mode isn't exactly like the TF3D in the regular mode but it's MUCH better than the stock landscape screen.

Great... more stuff to figure out for the always loved and always overworked XDA devs... Playing with manila files and such is never fun, and i feel for the theme devs too.

Problems with the link
Is anyone else having problems with the download link? I don't show anything to download there?

go to the second link with pics theres a dl link there

Been using this for a couple days. Theres just too many files for me to manually edit them (takes a lot of time), i hope someone compiles a list of the landscape files for easy theme'ing

The link on the thread has changed, but there is a TF3D link right at the top of the page that works.

Here's the direct link to the page on his site that has screen shots and a download link: http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/

Great Find!
I've spent the last few nights sorting through manilla files trying to change the program shortcuts in landscape. This is a much better alternative.

in my fuze flip clock thread this will be v7. i am currently converting files and pics to use with my themes now. will be up soon.

[question] fullscreen wallpaper wm6.5.x

as the title says, are there any solutions to this? Have tried searching here and also via google, but got very little relevant hits....... hope some of you can help....

What do you mean? Can you explain please, because wallpaper IS fullscreen.

attached you see a screenshot. The taskbar and bottombar are not part of the wallpaper. And the way i see it, by default 6.5.x doesn't provide any solutions...

Right - I see what you're asking now.
The wallpaper is actually "overlayed" with the taskbar and menu, so it is fullscreen, but behind those objects.
Search for HDWall (it's not in the Leo section - I believe it's in the Blackstone section, but could be wrong, so do a search of all forums).
That makes hi-quality wallpapers (better than the resized-by-htc wallpapers that you normally get) and it does it for all tabs. You also have the option to skin the taskbar and menu, and even change the slider if you want.
That will do what you ask anyway. Hope it helps

i'm using miri 1.4 rom right now, that one is provided with manila 1922. Hdwall still doesn't support that version. The wallpaper will come out mangled and all weird....
edit: also i don't see the option in hdwall to choose wm6.5.x only wm6.5, does that have any impact?

Try the HQWallpaper cab from the 1st post - that may help, but I'm not promising anything.

That shouldn't make any difference. It's not making any changes to the OS, just the GUI.

i noticed that when i select titanium as homescreen, the bottom bar is semi transparent, how can i also get that when using sense??? That would fix half of the problems i'm facing...
edit, not only bottom bar, but also top taskbar is semi transparent then...... why does this only work with titanium and not htc sense?

no clever ideas/solutions for me?

I told you already, MaxTTM

Try this Transparent softkey .tsk file, along with MaxTTM.
Then you can have clear bars and no softkey bubble buttons.
Although it does not line up perfectly. It looks best with textured or patterned wallpapers. In my opinion. It really depends on what B4all you are using as well.

Hd2 Landscape cab needed

Hi,
I know that there has been many threads regarding landscape cabs for hd2 but I need ask this anyway. I have tried with a couple of cabs for enabling my hd2 for landscape mode but everytime I had an issue with the picture tab. This tab does not work at all, I cant see any pitures and after a while the phone gets laggy.
I have cookies home tab 1.7.1 , xda backgroung4alltabscookie hqwallpatch installed. It should not be anything to do with them right?
Could someone out there give me a cab which is working properly?
Thanks in advance. Appreciate your help.
Brgds

i need that cab file too..

Come on people, help me out here. Does someone have a cab which I could try? I dont wanna use the tx total landscape since I loose the pictures Tab. I want something that is fully functional.
Thanks

I have this cab that does landscape, but I forgot who made it and where its from. Sorry to whoever made it!

I have tried quite few landscape cabs before all had issues with picture and audio tab...same thing on this one or is it ok?

I have this problem too. My hope is that when it is posible to instal landsscape theme.... my problem will be decided. Or I have to instal new version of manila....but I`m too ignorant to do that

Also looking for a landscape cab that doesnt affect the pics & music tabs.....

Can some one help us..... PLEASE
I think that if I instal SPB 3.5 will solve the problem with rotation but sence look so nice

i'v just tried this cab but it messes up the music and pictures screens, the rest looks ok. i'v never really had intrest in having a landscape mode before but after seeing this i'd also like a cab that works without messing up the mentioned screens.....

I enabled landscape mode in Sense using BSB Tweaks and thought it worked but as I was shaking the phone to take this screen capture it flaked out and I had to soft reset. So I'm looking for an alternative too. Now that I think about it though, we will probably have to wait for a new version of Sense to come out to correct the issue.

I think the problem is in Manila - 2.5.19211619.0
That`s why have to make STATISTIK
If you have the same problem wich version of Manila you use ???
EDIT: Now I`m shure that is the problem (Manila). I`ve instal SPB Mobile Shell and there is no such of problem with my phone.
