I'm trying to find a TSK previewer for on the PPC (not on the PC). Although I've renamed my themes, they're all of ladies in (mostly) bikinis, so there's a limit to the descriptions I can use! Does anyone know of a program that will run on the PPC and show me a thumbnail of the theme so I can choose without having to load each one in turn?
I've been searching for ages for this without luck, but I know someone's going to point me to an existing thread - so I'm going to apologise now if it does exist and I've missed it!
Thanks.
Download ThemeGenCe and then open them up in there and you'll be able to see what they look like on your PC. You can also then edit them if you want with it also, or even make your own.
Not quite what I'm after
Thanks for the suggestion, Xeno1, but I've already got an application to preview the themes on my PC - I'm after one to preview them on my phone when I'm out and about.
Thanks again for the reply though.
This is an old post I know but wasn't answered and I was looking for something similiar myself. Here is my suggestion
BVRP Theme Manager v2
It runs on your PPC and it creates previews of your themes and caches them in the form of JPGs with the extension PTM. Its great for previewing them and allows you to display them in multiple views:
- List
- 2x2 grid
- 4x4 grid
- 8x8 grid
- 16x16 grid
- Full screen
The only problem is its a little slow and awkward to create the previews if you have a lot of new TSKs. You have to view it for it to create the preview, so in the 8x8 grid it will only create previews for the 64 themes in view. If you have additional themes you have to move the cursor.
Pocket Theme Manager also has a theme rotation feature but it keeps the whole program in the memory for this (about 1MB RAM--way too much). Also it doesn't handle going back n forth between QVGA and VGA themes. You are much better off using ShantzTodayChanger (which you can find in General > Developer forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311173
First off I want to thank everyone here at XDA for all the hard work and effort you put into tweaking these great devices.
Now, on to my question, I've searched here and the diamond forum and I can't find any mention of a way to change the shortcut buttons on the landscape TF3D screen. I would really like to be able to customize that screen with shortcuts to applications I actually use. There must be a way to do this, has anyone got an idea?
First post , please go easy on my noobness.

Thanks Ouza but I saw that post and it's not what I'm looking for. This only deals with changing the two softkeys at the bottom of the landscape screen (which is nice in itself).
I'm wanting to change the 6 big shortcut ''buttons'' above that.
Basically I'd like to make the landscape screen the same idea as the programs tab in TF3D or something like it.
Any ideas... anyone??
I would seriously like to change the big shortcuts as well.I have a dock in my car using the video out. Video out forces Landscape mode. When I hop in my car, I dont want to take notes or check tasks, I want GPS, internet radio, Live Search...
I will dig deep into the registry and let you know what I find.
I want the same thing !!
Video out in the car, so I want to be able to start my Navigation from the landscape-menu.
Jochen
Change Landscape Menu
For the TV out menu that pops on screen after you plug in the video out cable, you can change the shortcuts in the registry.
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp\
There are four links in there, you can change them to any app installed on your phone. Only problem im having is changing the icons.
I have to bump this thread. There must be a customizer out there for the lanscape shortcuts! I just may go back to HTC Home if there is no way to put shortcuts in landscape!
I doubt this is exactly what you're looking for, but herg62123 is working on adding landscape tf3d to his project. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447056
Not quite,
I have my TP docked in landscape in the car and I would like to open apps like NAV, or Picture Dial, or Kinoma Play in landscape.

I don't think there is going to be any easy way to customize those shortcuts. I'm pretty sure the landscape shortcuts are hard-coded in one of the binary manila files.
That sucks!
Well I guess HTC Home will do for now.
You could change the softkeys to point to two of the apps you want to run. Not the perfect solution but it's better than nothing...
I guess....
Maybe I can use 2nd today and set a button to it with AEbutton and have HTC HOME for landscape and TF3D for portrait.
Thoughts?

Sounds like a good solution. I haven't used either product but from what I've read on here that should work. good luck!
Glad to see this topic getting some attention finally
For anyone interested, try out this theme with a slimmed down version of tf3d in landscape. It may suit what you're wanting more.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458036&highlight=landscape
Frankly, though, I didn't like it, and preferred to go back to my old theme. My main goal was having a landscape screen with a handful of a few apps I'm most likely to use, but in this theme you still have to scroll through your entire list of apps installed so, it really wasn't any kind of shortcut.
I'll keep sorting through all the manila files for a solution. Anyone with any reference docs or anything on creating themes or customizing tf3d would help as I've never dealt with it until now.

I've been searching around and noticed that indeed themes do change the "landschape shortcuts" but there doesn't seem to be a "general" program that's able to change them. I'm a little confused, because some reactions state it isn't possible to change these "shortcuts", saying they are hardcoded. Does this mean they're rooted so deep in the code that it's very hard to change them? Anyway I keep following this thread and hopefully some come up with a solution... Keep it up!
*Wish I could help*
Hi There.
I am currently using TX Total Landscape and I have a few problems.
When in Manilla on the contacts tab, the contacts do not fill the screen but remain in a 3 column config to one side of the screen.
Music and Photo&video tabs do not act as they usually do when turned into landscape (they remain up-down scrolling instead of changing to their usual side-side scrolling that they have without the mod)
Is there a landscape mod/app that is better. in other words that you can select which tabs will rotate and which will act as normal.
Thanks in advance.
Bumping...
Try gyrator its free works great just google it.

That does not work well at all in manilla. Screen stays blank when in landscape mode.
Bumping again.
hye,
everywhere on xda I see nice homescreens, how can I get them myself?
I would like to change the background in every tap and maybe set anothe clock... etc.
thanx
Clocks are readily available all over this section of the forum, just search clock and you'll have 100's of options.
Install cookies home tab or max manilla to gve yourself more options...
Different bg's for each tab.............. I've seen a cab somewhere that will display your today screen bg behind all the other tabs but I cant remember where... its in here somewhere though......
Happy searching...............
You have a lot for work to do:
1. Install Co0kie's Home Tab + CHT Editor - MUST haves
2. Install clocks (there are tons, you MUST do a search)
3. If you like to have the same background in all tabs not just home screen, install HDWallS (wallpaper browser) and the correct HDWalls patch. There are a lot of pre-made cabs already but you can always make your own if you install the PC version of HDWalls on your comp. Just search for HDWalls and detailed instructions are there.
4. Check out the LEO TODAY thread so you can see what other people have done and a lot of cabs are there too.
5. With everything else that you feel like doing on and to your phone, I cannot stress enough the you MUST SEARCH first and post a new thread last.
okee cookie home tab v1.8 is realy nice, everything I want
The possibilities for personalization are endless!

First, I will give you the MOST important advice. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE find a program like SPB Backup (it one is not free, but its restored my phone back to the latest settings i liked)... make a backup of your device and save it on your SD card. You don't want to make a mistake, delete a manila file while modding your phone, then try to remove the mod cuz you don't like it. not all the mods are perfect. Having to HARD RESET, will delete everything and restore you back to STOCK SETTINGS. I've personally done this countless times and spend 3 hours reinstalling apps and setting up my cookie HT icons and email, wifi. its a real pain in the butt. Even SK tools has a backup feature. it takes 4 minutes and it saves your tale! If you're forced to do a Hard reset, just restore your backup. also do another backup when you like the particular setup with mods on your device
You may want to do a little research on HDWalls with Cookies HT 1.8, this gives your device transparent bars top and bottom or simply places the wallpaper behind the whole screen removing the top and bottom black bars. its a very clean look. however you do lose the ability to give every screen its own wallpaper except the start menu.
DINIK's Slider, Keyboard, Phone Dialer, and CHT Clock are highly recommended!!! He also makes all black and white icons come to life with color!
look into transparent mods... there's a ton! i have at least 40 installed. Use BSB tweaks and Touch tweaks.
On my HD2 I'm trying to add quick link favorite bookmarks and sometimes I get a thumbnail and sometimes not.
With CHT 2.0 I can only get a couple of websites to show up as quick links without displaying the generic 'bookmark' thumbnail.
The older version of CHT seemed like I only needed to visit those webpages once and then it would 'cache' a thumbnail.
The new one is driving me nuts..I have it set to 'hide' text so if I don't have a thumbnail of the website I can't tell which bookmark is which.
Help! Anyone solved this issue? I've tried browsing to these websites with both IE and Opera and so far only CNN and ESPN have successfully shown up as quicklinks with actual thumbnails.
??? i was referring to cookie's home tab app..not gmail.
