how to change some things in WM6.5.x

Hi to all XDA users
I'm try to search but i haven't find anything about this...
What can i do in my kitchen to change the default theme and the default background and to organize the WM start menu?
Another question...
how to disable the ugly wm volume control? (i want change this with HTC Volume control)
P.S. Sorry for my english and sorry for the stupid question but i'm a newbie

I'm newbie, too...
Why nobody answer him? I'd also want to know how to change SYSTEM FILES particularly Themes in WM 6.5.x. Next steps will be "changing of menu entries" till "advanced options" like idividual choosing of different options/views (means 2, 3, 4, 5 cols in startmenu) without installing *.cab files.
Thanks a lot.

pls someone answer!!!

Pointing someone to search is not there answer to the questions.
So please , a litlle help and then point out that the can search.
Or simply don,t post if you don,t want to help
Greetz. ( And if you want to know, i once asked for help to )

A little help in case it's needed...
I think I know what you are aiming at...
1./ You'd like to change your wallpaper. It's the easiest thing what you can do on a WM device, just go to Windows Settings > Home > Mark "Use this picture as the background" and Browse your file(s).
Or in the Manila settings go to Personalize and then to Home tab wallpaper, and select a file...
Or if you want to have the same background in All Tabs, install CHT Editor, and then in the Home Tab click "Menu", and select Set Wallpaper.
Here you can find as many pictures as you want...
2./ You want to have a percentage-displayed battery icon, don't you? THIS will do the trick (works only on the 1.66 ROMs!), just download and then install to the Device Memory, do an SR, and experience the difference!
If you have a dissimilar ROM to 1.66, download this "circular" % battery icon! THREAD LINK (XDA)
Hope I could help...

Sorry, the HD2 have "Sense 2.5" interface, instead of Manila, I made a mistake when I wrote it. The Manila 2D / 3D is the former interface on the older HTC phones, but since the Touch Diamond 2 it has changed to Sense 2.x!
So the Sense is the main interface on the HD2, it appears first when you switch your device on, and if you want to change the wallpaper, go to Settings Tab > Personalize > Home tab wallpaper and select a file of yours.
You can find out what ROM version you have at the Settings Tab as well, just go to "About Phone" and choose "Software information", and check "ROM version" out!

I have
Manila version 2.5.20
Rom version 1.72.206
Radio version 2.07
Will the clock download work for me ?

Hi John,
It wasn't my intention to be rude, actually I was trying to be helpful. Although I must admit that I could have used some more/other words. I really think that the best help is to learn to use the search function. I've also asked for help, even frequently, but never after I searched for the answer myself.
Sincerely,
Mac

[Q] How can I reduce Keyboard Long-press time?

Hi folks,
For a while now, I've been tired of the slow speed that it takes to long-press the letters to get a number. I remembered having a rom long ago that allowed to customize the long-press speed. I'm really happy with the new up to date 4.1.1/4.1.2 (Jelly Bean) roms, but they don't contain that feature .
Now the question is, is there anyway to reduce the Long-press time on current roms that do not contain that feature?
Thanks, I appreciate any help.

I believe it is a matter of modding the keyboard.apk

Thanks for the reply , but i'm really not at all knowledgeable on modifying APK's .
Also, If there is a keyboard app that has that feature, i'll take it as well.

I'm from Vietnam, and I'm using Go Tieng Viet 3 app. It contains Vietnamese and many other languages, but you can delete vietnamese and use english only. Play store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=kynam.ime.gotiengviet
Of course it has changing long-press timeout feature, from 0 to 1000ms, but with 80% vietnamese setting interface, maybe hard for you to customize. If you still want to use it, pm me and I'll take some screenshots for easy setting
My english is bad and I shoud feel bad - sent from my crespo.

Thank you for the information, i will give that App a try.

Swift Key
I'm using Swift key. They have a setting for this but dos an body know how to do this Wirth a standard keyboard?

Enyone who have SRS know the icon is ugly but the program is amazing. But I really wanto to change that icon.

Someone said it's possible vie Registry but i am not sure about that because I am not into that section, but I can do it if someone explain to me how.

@eclyptos
You must use JWMDIconChanger_v3.1b.
With this app cann you all icon change and rename.

do you see the icon of WOW HD Settings? That's the icon which I can't change and I do not understand why!

If you can not see it in JWD then you will need hunt it in the registry & link a PNG file to it.
Have a look at this thread to help pin it down in registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6188525&postcount=1
If you have problems finding it you could export & upload parts of the registry tree for us to help.
Other option if you have installed srsWOW via cab is to edit cab/exe icons prior to install.
*JWD tip: some icons show as default JWD paint pallet & no text so you got to guess what they are ! have another good look ...

I opened SRSPanel.cpl,0 and was only 1 link of some "Group" empty, so I delete it and I make this link "Icon"="\\Windows\\equalizer007.png" but is not working or i did in wrong way. I don't know, on the thread is not exactly clear how to do it.
