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.

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...

....checks it out ...... juss got my dash
ok to install cabs on your t mobile wing, all you need to do is take the actual rar file/folder (unzipped) and put it in your phone by drag n drop and itll be on your wing as a program to install to find it just use file explorer and locate it where you saved it
If you get a web page for the download that means you extracted all the files on your computer then put them in which is exactly what you DONT want to do, just simply drag the actual rar folder i uploaded onto your wing
and the i phone theme is just a theme it does not by any means do what the i phone actually does it just duplicates it so it looks like it and i would upload the slide 2 unlock but apple will not allow me to do so, so im sorry
and also i should have mentioned this but when after installing the cab file on your phone to get the actual theme to start up just use file explorer and locate the i phone theme where you saved it and open it and the i phone theme will start up and to exit the theme just tap the battery icon on the top right of the screen and ill upload the i phone calculator as well for you guys
and also here is the flashplayer for youtube and extras so have fun
to get working first install the tcmp i uploaded then the plug-in for tcmp which i also downloaded then the flashbundle cab i uploaded.... after that go to you tube and click any video and have fun

MiniWeather for the VOX

Hey guys... just released a new chome weather version that should work with the VOX also. Can somebody give it a shot ?
I can't seem to get it to install,
Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
I'm using version 3 of Zeeshee ROM.
Cheers,
Same for me! Same rom. Btw, both weather progs delete my clock icon and blackscreen is not possible to load. (mini with dr.gonzo 6.1 rom)
Everything works!
Extract from cab all files for Windows directory and place them into the device.
Delete this files from cab and save cab.
Modify cab working.
Works brilliant .. Thanks a lot keep it up ... i like the background on the pictures what you post there . it will be great if you send it as well . cheers
I'm being stupid here.
I still can't get it to work.
Can someone upload the modified cab please.
Thank you.
Unzip attached file.
Copy files from 'Windows' (archive) to 'Windows' (device).
Copy cab to device and run it.
Reboot.
Enjoy!
Excellent!
Thank you for posting.

Anyone have a screen shot of what it looks like?

weather.yahoo.com gives me NLXX001 as code
Doesn't seem to do anything
(And so is c>f not working)
Are we still using weather.yahoo.com as source?
I had already installed the original MiniWeather on my on my vox (Orange E650) and all was OK except that in portrait mode the weather image didn't show on the clock tab whereas it did in portrait mode. So I decided to install the vox version to see if it would be fixed.
Unfortunately I've found that the files can't be copied over to the device's Windows folder because Resco says they already there as read-only files in ROM and therefore cannot be overwritten. So after installing the 1.0b CAB I get the following error when I initially select options:
Unknown command: "nu=timestamp"
Line 13(\program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\SetOptions.mscr):nu=TimeStamp()
Is there anything that can be done? Would the clock/weather Image have been fixed anyway? If not I'll revert to the previous version
Thanks and nice program !!!
can someoene post a home screen to show how this should look. Its messed up on mine i believe I get 2 panels - the first one works but the image is messed up. The second one says "forecast" but in there it just says "push centre button to update, push right softkey marked options to set your options"
I had trouble copying the two chome files to the windows directory - it said I didnt have permission to copy them.
can anyone assist ?
Frottage........ It sounds like you've had a similar problem to mine above.
If you can't copy the files over the install doesn't work properly.
I've reverted to the non-Vox version and all now seems OK on my Orange E650 with Dr.Gonzo's 5.2.19195 Rom
Try using the Resco Explorer trial to copy them across. It's because the files it's trying to replace are in ROM. Resco worked on my Dr. Gonzo E650.

TFM2DC Themes???

I have Conflippers 10-21 ROM on my alltell touch.. So far I have not had to many issues and the problems I have had, I found the answers pretty easy either here or over @ ppcgeeks.. But these themes are killing me.. I'm sure it is something simple I am just not seeing but here I am anyway..
I have found and read through the theme threads, found some I like and downloaded the zip files. I unzip them to my pc no problem.. Here is where the problems start.. about half the time when I try to move them to my storage card through activesync I get a alert telling me it cannot convert a file.
now if it does copy over ok, I can go through the md2c and see the folder on my storage card but if I try to add it to my themes folder I get a error that says I am missing the HTChomesettings.xlm(I think) file and it will not add it?
what am I missing here.. since this does not seem to be a common issue I know it's something simple... but it is just escaping me...
P.S.. sorry for the poor grammar. I am doing this at work from my phone...
Thanks for the help.
U're absolutely missing .xml file (HTCHomeSetting). Try to use another xml file, m2dc should be working after u put .xml file on windows folder
Is there just one file for all themes or is this a file that should be included with every theme I download??
the reason I ask is a couple of the themes I have tried work just fine.. most though give me the error though..
Some of the themes has no .xml file. Just look at the clock style in the home tab. If it's similar with another themes that u ever used succesfully, simply put the .xml file in windows folder. Good luck
What file are you copying to your device? The file you copy should be some how compressed and contain the xml in the root folder.
Some of the themes I have downloaded seem to be packed into a folder and some of when you unzip it are all the file individual.... (does that make since?)
Either way I put them on my storage card and then point M2DC at the storage card a couple of them seem to work fine and some of them give me the error

Editing M2D when its built into a ROM?

I have a Elfin which is running the "Touch of HD" ROM
This has M2D built into it, and as a result, all files it uses are "system files" and cannot be edited.
This means the M2D editor cannot change the xml or anything else it does.
Is there any way of making these files accessable?
When using the editor, it ends up freezing and I have to softreset my device.
It would be nice to change the tabs around a bit, and update it to the latest version, but I just cant.
please dont suggest installing M2D as a seperate install and using it that way, as its too big to do that, and I cant install a newer version over the top, as it will try to overwrite system files, which just doesnt happen.
Thanks to anyone who can help

I am assuming that you have already tried this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=4273
I am using Ultimate X V2 with M2D built in and I have no problem editing Tab placement, screen fonts, themes and today screen with this.
erm.. sadly that link doesnt appear to be going anywhere
you need to probably disable m2d (if the files are in use by another program you wont be able to access them) ....if you have further problems try using total commander instead of the default windows file explorer.
Bump
I had given up on trying to edit m2d for a while
but im wanting to use it again.
Problem is, when i use M2DC, even when:
m2d was installed by me, instead of being in the ROM.
m2d was not enabled
Whenever i changed anything, and then tell it to save,
it would just show me the spinning wait icon and refuse
to do anything else until i reset it.
any ideas?

[Q]HD2 Taskbar Icon Change

Hi Guys,
trying to change my start icon used both Restorator 2009 & ResHack and neither of them does the trick for some reason, i have extracted the shellres.192.dll from my HD2 and opened it on both of the those apps and replaced the icons 4609 & 4620 with my own 32 x 32 icon file but all i get after reboot is a blank are where the button should be and the text start and the button is not touchable nothing happens.
Thanks For any help in this weird thing.

good question. I have no idea. lol. sorry.
I don't fully understand taskbar editing. So here is the process i've done on a 6.5.x taskbar.
-Grad the .dll and drag it onto the UnSigner
- create 32x32 png convert to xp colors using icoFX/Axialias Icon Workshop(for converting higher resolutions to .icos e.g the dropdown taskbar in 6.5.x)
-Replace icon using ResHack
-sign it with msigntools
-cab using WinCE or whatever tools are available for download, set the directory to /Windows, install reboot and you have your icons on the taskbar
Just make sure it's the correct version for winMO, i've been using 6.5.5 dll's as a base in all my taskbar works.
Also a simple google search can help you gather up the files.
"How to mod winMO 6.5 taskbar"
Hope this helps

If you need to place your patched .dll files you need to add them in a cab file first.
Send me your dll files patched by pm i will do a cab tomorrow night after office if you want
I have to first download the file from the phone to edit it... that's what I can't do.
I have the tools, I've already donne something similar. But I can't download the DLL file.
Any ideas please?
