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?

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

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...

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...

That is a Manila 2D theme, you have Touch Flo 3D
to be really honest with you, i couldnt tell you the difference!!!! haha
what an amateur!!
lol. happens
ok so you have to install M2D 1st, then once you do that the one you want is a theme that you install.
go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2860699&postcount=4764
this is update 20 there is update 21 that you could do also so download the megaupload or the 4shared and you should get files saying 1-8 well start with number 1 then go all the way when done soft reset and you will get M2D installed.
then install your theme you want
I have written a guide on how to install M2D and its themes.
it's in my sig in the GUIDES thread.
Hi everyone
A few days ago i bought a Samsung C6625 (Valencia). The thing that looked nice on it was the wizpro theme and i whanted to see if i can modify it.
I finaly found a few information about it, but still i dont know where to start
Is there anione here that could take these files and see what cand be done?
If there are other information needed i would gladly give them Just tell me what to do.
The atached archive contains the dll file i found reference to in the registry. AdvHomePlug.dll and the theme xml that lead me to the registry clsid key.
What sort of modifications ur looking at?
You can use resource hacker to extract and edit the images in AdvHomePlug.dll. Those are all the interface images including the leftbar menu and the main window, contacts, wmp, etc...
All images are in PNG Format. U can extract and replace. If it is theme colors its in the voda xml file. I dont see any digital signatures on the dll and mui files you posted, how did u transfer the files? normal copy or ROMExtractor?
If you didnt do normal copy these require digital signatures before copying back, search xda how to self sign apps. Also it helps if u app unlock ur phone.
I copied the file normaly using explorer. About the modifications... I`ve seen on other samsung models the same wizpro theme but with different arangement of tabs.
And i was thinking maybe there are some mods for this like with chome just asking i dont know

I dont have the phone on me to check it, maybe tomorrow i can borrow it, I do however remember some regitry entries for playing with tabs, its been a while since i had this phone. check under HKCU\Software under mpharos or samsung.
I found those registry entries but i can only modify images for the theme. Are there any other registry entries where i can modify things like... plugins that show up, the order of those plugins, things like that?
Could you please dump the registry key HKCU\CLSID\{583AD178-223A-4bcd-AFBE-EBB50536F8BE}
for me?
I will help you with customizing the plugin!

Wizpro does not works on BJII - I have tried cooking it in ROM, but nothing happens - just a blank screen with background picture. Maybe some drivers are missing. Haven't figured it out yet.
Problems
I have a Samsung i637 phone.
I have problems with Wizpro. When I receive a sms, I can read the sms, but when I try to return to home page (wizpro), I can not see it.
After some minuts, the wizpro does not appear, and instead appear the message "Anything home screen theme was found".
I have unlock security in the phone.
I have changed to multimedia home screen, but I need use the Wizpro.
What could be cause this problem???
Hi. I am triyng wm 6.1 st on mcrsft device emulator and I would like to try samsung's C6625 original wizpro theme.

I dont get it, I have followed all the tuts online about using custom icons but nothing works. All I am trying to do is change the start menu icon on my tilt 2 from the default white windows logo to the colored windows logo and keep all the other icons at there default. Is there a .cab file out there that I can use to do this?
Think a resourse editor and a custom ROM is required
Yeah, you have to obtain shellres.192.dll, unsign it, open it with a resource editor (I used reshacker), replace the existing logo with the new one, resign it, and put it on the device with a .cab or Total Commander. As Rudegar said, you need a custom ROM to do this, since you're signing the DLL with the SDK certs, and not actual certificates cooked into the AT&T ROM. More info can be found here.
