Comm Manager and HTC Cube font get all screwed up...

Hi guys I am currently using TNT5.0 on my wizard and I noticed that the Touch syled 10 button Comm Manager and also the Cube's font has changed considerably and no longer looks nice. I have attached screenshots of what I am talking about.
If anyone knows how to fix this short of hard-resetting, I would be very grateful.

Remember if you have added new fonts recently.Get some generic font Ariel is best and paste it into windows folder. now search for any font files in windows folder and rename it. now soft reset your device and delete renamed files.
Hope this helps. Best of luck

Well I was able to get the Comm Manager fixed but the cube would not change back to normal... Oh well... I don't really use the cube anyway, I just don't like imperfections on my fully custom phone you know?

I see you have wisbar, are you sure that you didn't used the override system font ?

thats a good question... right now i dont have in installed and the fonts are normal. i'll have to look into it when i reinstall it.

Come on, the problem has been mentioned so many times! This is 95% sure due to WeatherPanel, just change the font in this app to another one (i.e.chameleon).

ive just fixed a similar problem. since i installed that **** called livingsoft i started with problems in my font cube (only)
i solved this problem by doing this:
1. i searched all the ttf files in my windows folder (using the resco explorer)
there i found some files, one of them was called sildunir.ttf.
as i didnt recognized that font i searched on the internet, and i found it was the font of my already uninstalled livingsoft program.
2. i tried to rename it and soft reseted.
3. nothing happends.
4. what i did next was to rename the tahoma.ttf font to sildunir.ttf (notice that it is the tahoma font just with a different name)
5. i copy it to the windows folder and it asked me to rename the old file. i did it.
6. soft reset and my problem was solved.
use this as a guide. maybe your font isnt sildunir.ttf, but you recognize another one that is causing this problem.
sorry about my bad english.
cheers from uruguay.

Remove AT&T from TF3D?

Loving my Fuze so far! Used the process to hard reset and remove the bloatware....not quite ready to take the plunge with a cooked ROM just yet...
On the home screen above the clock there is a bar that just lists the AT&T logo in the upper right. Nothing else. And because of it I have to scroll on my home screen to see everything.
How the heck do I get rid of this useless waste of real estate?

Interesting, I didn't even notice this but true, what a waste of space! I'm hoping for something like HCC, Home Screen Customizer coming back for Fuze, that was one great app!

You arent kidding! I'm a little bummed, my Tilt had more usable home screen space

hope some1 can find a way.

Two ways to do it:
1) go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2796868&posted=1#post2796868 and aply the original TF3D theme. It will also change your orange to green in the theme though
2) use the diamond TF3D configuration tool and go you tabs and remove 'unknown'

choice 1 -Don't care for change of color
choice 2 - Diamond config tool did not remove the AT&T logo -
Any other suggestions or ideas?

sorry- i didn't read the top post well enough. What I did is get rid of the AT&T tab which I hate. If you look at the other screens of TF3D there is always something on top- the first one should probably list Home but I guess it's true- we could all live without them all entirely...

Unzip and copy this file into the windows directory. Let me know if this works.
Thanks

That file already exists in the windows directory. Thus, no change. Still looking at the "AT&T" gray bar across the top of the screen.
I certainly appreciate you trying to help -

I removed the bar using the customizer but I think that qt&t is reading it from the operator name which may never be able to get read of unless someone really customizer tf3d.

FYI - That's not AT&T's doing. Look at all the unlocked TF3D screenshots. It's the line that lists what screen you are looking at or the carrier if it's the home screen. It's in all the cooked ROMs as well since it's part of the basic functionality.

First close TF3D, then extract file into windows directory, over writing existing file. Start TF3D again. Logo should be gone. Worked for me.

I am losing my touch with this Touch (Fuze) -
Could not overwrite - got error message that basically said that file is write protected and I do not have permission.
Tried to delete the original and then replace - again receive denials.
I have tried to, using a registry editor, make changes to the file (make it able to be read; edit it; rename it;, etc) without any success. All attempts have been rejected.
Perhaps I could trouble you as to how to either overwrite or delete and replace.
Thanks

Copy the file to somewhere else on the phone, maybe like a temp directory.
Then use TotalCommander to copy the file into windows directory.
Thats it.

Thanks - finally successful in removing the AT&T logo - however, the gray bar remains -
I certainly appreciate the efforts that you folks have gone to.

If we could move the date up to the empty space, that would be good.

Am I the only one that has both the date and AT&T on that line?
I wouldn't want to get rid of it, because it would mean getting rid of the date.
I'm using a sprint flip-clock, but I don't recall how it looked in stock form.
Standard factory ROM.

I think what you are wanting to get rid of is what I've seen on here referred to as the top "curtain". Do a search on that. I've seen it mentioned somewhere, but I couldn't find it off the bat.

This removes the curtain: http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=261

[REQ] Metamorph to remove 'phone' text from black droid launcher

I can't find the original post on this forum that contained the attachment, so I am attaching it here. I'm not sure what was changed in the file to get it to do it. Was hoping I could find more info from the person who made it... but I can't find the post.
Can anyone help with this, please?
Thanks!

That's weird. I just got a PM about an hour ago regarding the same question. When the "mods" thread got "cleaned up" much of the stuff went missing, unfortunately.
The phone text is cleared out in:
Rosie.apk\res\layout-port\button_bar.xml
Attached is a patched XML file that will clear the text out. You will still need to replace the applicable .png files with transparent ones, for example, if you want to remove the phone icon, etc.
Download <--- Right click to save the file, otherwise, it will attempt to load in your browser.

Thanks. That worked in removing the phone text, but it didn't center the phone icon on the button. Can you do that, too?

I can't seem to find the file that centers the phone image onto the middle button for the launcher. I've tried launcher.xml but no dice. bb_btn_middle.xml perhaps?
Also, could you provide some insight into what folders to edit? What is mdpi, land, port? Which folders get edited with our phone? I find myself constantly playing a guessing game with which folder the edits go into.
EDIT: Ok, it turns out it was the button_bar.xml file. Now that I knew that, I pulled it out of the zip in the first post and the phone icon is centered. Attached just the xml.

The phone icon is in Rosie.apk res/drawable-normal-mdpi. Its called icon_p_phone_rest.png and icon_p_phone_on.png.

I didn't need to edit the actual png, it was just something in the xml file that centered the placement of it. It's all fixed.
My goal is all Metamorph's with the black droid launcher with phone text removed, all clear widgets (Digital Clock Widget, GenieWidget, pure calendar, pure music player, power control widget, etc). Genie, pure calendar/music is done. Digital Clock Widget is working, but tapping on it to edit the alarm is busted since the WorldClock was removed for the lockscreen...
I'm sick of remembering which files were editted in the apk files to achieve the mods... Metamorphing will make everything much easier, but it's a process to figure out which files were edited, since repacking the zipfiles usually modifies the 'modified date'.

[Lockscreen] LCARS Star Trek style Lockscreen (updated)

My first mod, the LCARS Lockscreen! Make your lockscreen resemble the panels on the Enterprise! Yay! Also included, the original files they replaced.
Ahem...
Anyway, here is a zip file of everything needed to make your own lcars lockscreen. It's a zip because apparently the cabs I had up here didn't work properly... Can't beat placing real files yourself, I guess. haha
-
Instructions:
First- Add files in the icons folder to windows\ directory in phone. Just the icons in the folder, not the full folder. Either use icons in the zip or install the icons cab file. Also, put the lcars.ttf font into the /windows folder.
Second- Add lcarswallpaper.png and LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr to windows\lockscreen.
Third, reset the phone and you're done!
I've also included the original files for what this mod changes in case you want to revert back.
-
I have no lockscreen mods, cookie's home tab lockscreen is set to the default lockscreen so it won't interfere, or anything aside from the memclock app as you can see on the top right of the screenshot so I can't guarantee it will work with any mods. Like I said, This is my first so I apologize if it doesn't work properly on your HD2. As far as mine goes, everything lines up perfectly.
Restart your phone and enjoy!
When you tap the slider to get your notifications, the calendar and clock disappear. I don't know how to keep them their the entire time. If anyone can help with that, I'd appreciate it. \
For people that have flashed their roms only, try either the cpr courtesy of SolShade posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7153849&postcount=58
Or the updated cpr titled "LS_LockScene_480x800 FLASHED ROM.zip" at the bottom of this first post. This one contains minor tweaks to SolShade's working version, plus with my anastasia rom, there was a gap at the bottom that wasn't black, so everything was shuffled down accordingly to fix that.

While I havent tried it out, it looks cool.
Grats.
Now to make an interactive home tab with a captains chair perspective of the bridge.

Dear,
i have downloaded and installed 3 cab. but its not showing anything but only unlock button beside start button only...

Sorry, rasumia. I've posted the full files, not just cabs, so they should work a lot better for you. Guess quickcab doesn't want to play nice with me. Anyway, also has the original files for a manual uninstall also, so no risk of goofing with your lock screen again.

Not somethine I personally would have, but still a great job with putting it together!

thanks for your quick reply...
i have tried as you have mentioned in the Readme.txt but still same problem. only unlock button shows.
i use CHT 1.7.1 with editor...could it be causing this?
it could be better if there is a final cab so it would be all easier for everyone... thanks a lot!
i am personally star trek fan. it would be very nice if we can have a complete theme with icons slider and lock screen...
i know its too much to ask but its just my idea...

I would love a full manilla okudagram refit, but that would be a lot of work getting the layout right... I would almost like to do that, but someone else would have to program it.
I have cookie's home screen 1.70 enabled but all the custom lockscreen stuff disabled, only using the default lock at the default settings there. Your signature says you have a custom rom, maybe that could be a conflict? Looks like in the logs that they did do things to the lock screen. I wouldn't think it would be much different than what I did but who knows. I wish I knew more and could help better but I learned just with tweaking the lock settings. I have a friend that has an hd2 with the stock rom so I'll know soon if it works on his.

huh ?
want to use this but dont know how to replace files in windows DIR, system says cant replace ??????
D.

Works great.
Here on my german stock rom there is no Icon folder, just copy those files into windows folder, the rest as statet in first post, soft reset and there you are.
To copy the files I've used resco explorer
The only thing that doesn't work is the notification button for missed call. I can see it in taskbar but not instead of button comm1
Live long and prosper

Which files won't it replace? The icons? Try adding the lockscreen480x800.cpr file and wallpaper and restarting. If it changes the layout to match the wallpaper, then try the cab here to install the icons.
When I did this originally on my phone, I copied the files onto the storage card, then with the phone, copied and pasted the cpr file into the lockscreen folder. I hope any of this helps.

Hey, great job.
Where can I get LS_LockScene_480x800.cpr?
Thanks.

Working !
weightlifter that file is in the .zip file from the first post !
All good here the .cab file made the difference, thanx !
D.

Using windows active sync for replace wont work but using fileexplorer works...
for i couldnt make it work yet still trying...

use .cab
rasumia i used the .cab file for step 1 and then did the rest of the steps and it works for me !
good luck !
D.

ok let me try once again =)

Sorry no luck at all...may when it is completed i will give a try... thanks a lot anyway...

Very nice mate. I hope you can get the notifications showing all the time, like you said. Also, it would be better if the taskbar could be either removed or replaced with something else of equal functionality. It just seems a shame to have it not fullscreen.
Other than that though, very nice indeed!
Incidentally, I used total command to copy the files around and didn't use activesync to copy the font, and it works fine for me.

I have the same problem as you have. It might be caused by Cookies home tab or the editor.

I turned off the CHT lockscreen and turned on the default lock screen (and then a soft reset, because that's what the editor does then). Then I just copied all the files into the relevant locations, as described in the 1st post.
I did copy all the files onto my storage card first and then used total commander to copy them onto the device, which meant that I could overwrite any existing files without windows moaning at me.
Incidentally, I do have both lockscreens working independantly. I turned the CHT lockscreen back on and that is now my default lockscreen (from the home tab menu, or from pressing the end button), but if I go to the start menu and lock from there then I get this lovely lockscreen
(I do then get the CHT one as well, when I unlock this one, so it's not perfect but at least I can see both of them working.)

hasn't worked for me, used the zip from the first post, when i lock the device i get the default unlock soft button and no lock screen atall

CHT 1.8 Manila File Names & Transparent Files attached

Hello,
I wonder if anyone is able to/wants to help me?
I am looking for confirmation of the manila file names for CHT 1.8... (I have been browsing the forum but can only find cabs and not the file names for this)
I have been looking through the files by using cfc-gui but I can’t confidently identify the right files!!
I just want to personalise my own files, initially to achieve a transparent home screen, but ongoing to something else.
The clock files are identified on the CHT thread, but not the bars/panels.
I think I have identified the following files (for not-pressed bars), but on modifying them and loading them onto the phone (in the Windows folder, and then restarting manila, and also soft resetting) they don’t all seem to change as I expected.
These ones do work:
0B7F6995_manila = appointment expand/pull-down grip
30D807DA_manila = thin bar with rounded corners to ‘finish’ lower appointment
0d61c97c_manila = date bar
740dc76b_manila = alarm bar
These ones don’t work:
43A0289_manila = appointment list bar
77BAF4F0_manila = notifications full bar
(if these aren’t what I think they are, then what have I changed by modding these files??!!)
I can see from various mods on this forum that people are able to change the files I want to work with, so I must just be playing with the wrong files.
Any help would be good, and it’ll save me time by further searching many pages of the forum and struggling to identify the files in the Windows folder (which is proving very difficult it seems).
Thank you.
it would be good if there was a manila library on here somewhere - cfc-gui is a really good tool, but it's just not doing a proper job for me on this occasion!!!
PS: I have current version 1.66 standard UK ROM on HD2, non-network specific. My CHT 1.8 is working fine, no issues, I just want to mod it a bit!

Agree with the above would be good if there was a list available as took me ages just to find the default cover art for music and couldn't find the mini music player background. I'm using cfc-gui as well and there's as many/if not more files under unknown as there are with headers which makes it really difficult. I've just been going through them 1 by 1 and I'm going to try edit a few on the weekend so will let you know what I find.

Cheers - any help on this would be appreciated. There are loads of mods for this already, but not many sharing info!!
I'll keep on looking...
In the meantime, if anyone else can assist - much appreciated it will be!

If anyone is interested, I found what I was looking for:
10376502_manila = notifications bar
438A0283_manila = appointments bar
I've attached all of these files as transparent in the .zip below. The only one that isn't fully transparent is the pull-down grip which I have added little grip dots to it so you know where it is, otherwise transparent.
** Back-up original files from the Windows folder before overwriting! **

the clock white background remains white, Any updates of others ?
nice work, i liked it, when ever I flash a new rom I was installing transparencies.. not anymore...
I hope you keep up with this threat...

can you show a picture of this please!!

many people will be much help if you put screenshot..if you ask someone's help try to help someone also and someone will apreciate yours

Aren't there plenty of clocks for CHT on XDA already, do they not work?

Depending on which files you edited..... you might be able to get them back by installing/uninstalling/reinstalling CHT..... maybe.....
Which particular files do you need...??
if by chance I have them backed up Ill post them for you... I dont have that many though....

There is a link in the FAQ section of the CHT thread's main post from Co0kie, for transparencies and some graphics restore cabs.
That should help answer some of your questions.
If you have any other questions still after looking at those cabs and files, let me know.
You can go directly to that thread to the first post where the link is, by clicking the CHT banner in my sig., or clicking the link above will take you there directly.

thanks for the responce guys! i'm actually not sure what manilla files they are lol, i just know there the ones which make the calendar and call history transparent. i've tried re-installing CHT but transparency is still there, it wasnt a cab see. i overwritten the original files with zip file on page one. but would like the glass panel look which dinik created. installing dinik theme the transparent calendar/call history is still there. someone who backed up the manila files before installing that zip file could help... were are they!! lol

I have attached the original files that you highlighted a couple of posts above...
in the zip file are the original files if you want to drop them in manually, or a cab file for if you want to do it the easy way - all it does is place the two manila files in the windows folder, and it's not going to appear in the applications list either (you can't 'uninstall it'), its a one-way cab.

Thanks for all your help guys but looks like its not to be. they were the right manila files but after getting rid of the transparency`s and installing diniks theme everything has the glass panels but calender/call history. maybe the rom i`m using is affecting the theme (cleanex rom). but again thanks for your help guys.
