Original Blue Homescreen

Yesterday i cleaned my application data\home, cause there where lots of themes i installed and didn´t use. I make a big mistake deleting the nomru.home.xml . This whas one of the Original Windows Mobile 6 themes. Googled a lot, but didn´t find a page to download this file.
So please, can someone upload this file for me ? It´s the one without the application shortcuts at the top.
Thousand thx in advance

Go to yours device \Windows directory with file explorer, unhide rom files, there is your missing file nomru.home.xml, just copy it to \Application Data\Home.
Use for example Resco Explorer.

Thank you man. I didn´t think that this was so easy.

Sounds like a HTCHomeSettings.xml mismatch issue.
If your going to update any 2D theme make sure you use the new themes HTCHomeSettings.xml or adjust the original one accordingly.
Check the developement & Hacking section for more help.

HTCHomeSettings.xml
Hm, but this file HTCHomeSettings.xml is already inside this ROM and I cant delete it. It always shows me "You cant delete it". How can I delete it ROM files ?

You can only over write it, first turn off 2D from the today menu and then copy your new xml file to the windows directory.

im having trouble with that too! everytime i try to edit an xml file, I try to copy it to my windows directory and i always get an error message. and it just copies it and doesn't replace it

Make sure you turn off 2d in /setting/personal/today/
Before trying to change the xml file.

TOUCHFLO2D files
Yes. I have the same problem I cant edit the XML file because ALL TOUCHFLO 2D files are inside ROM that's why nobody can makae any modification. It could be solved if every ROM files will be unlocked for editing and deleting. Please, Can someone UNLOCK ROM files ?

Why would you be deleting any of those files in the first place? Download TotalCommander or Resco, shut down TouchFlo (as Ttran has stated twice now), edit or overwrite old files on phone, turn TouchFlo back on.

Digital clock
My problem is that If I install digital clock for MANILA2D it doesnt run. I have to again recopy the HTCHomeSettings.xml, but after that I again have the anolog clock. Where is problem ? I had original WM6 ROM and Manila 2D installed the digital clock worked fine but I havent any free device storage free. That's the reason why I had to flash the original ROM.

You can try change with M2D customizer v0.11,hope it'll help you.

No problem bro, we are all one big family here at xda.

digital Clocks for this ROM
OK, I had to modify HTCHomeSettings.xml file. It took me 1 hour and now I am lucky.
Copy all files to \Windows.

Get rid of the email preview envelope??

I know that I've seen a post (either on this forum or the Diamond one) for removing the envelope in the email preview screen in TF3D. But I saw the post before I got my Fuze and now I really want to get rid of that envelope and can't find the post!
Does anyone else know where this info is or how to do it? I swear I have tried searching but I haven't been able to find it.

Try to un-enable TF3D first, then delete "hh_email_envelope_down.png" and "hh_email_envelope_up.png"

I would check the windows directory... dont quote me on it, but thats the first place i would check

And of course you will need some enhanced windows explorer like total commander or resco explorer to view hidden/system files and to modify rom-files.

file explorer shows all files just click menu 3rd from the top, Show All Files.

i dont think that will work - to my knowledge the built in file explorer won't let you touch files in ROM
Also if you delete these files wont they come back when you restart the device?

Kris, AFAIK you're right twice. But it could be possible replacing the original files with empty ones using Total Commander or some other advanced file explorer. Would be interesting what happens then (but not interesting enough for me to try it myself though )

Not everything of course but files which are stored in the ROM do. They can not be changed, deleted or what so ever but with an enhanced file explorer like total commander or resco explorer you can sort of "replace" those files with a modified version. But again. The original isn't really replaced. Your version will be stored in the RAM and "overrules" the file in the ROM. But if you later on decide to revert back to the original file you just have to delete your modified RAM-file and after a soft-reset the ROM file will be back/visible again.

yea in ROM i meant ...
and instead of replacing the files with an "empty file", it would prob be safer to replace them with a 1x1 totaly transparent png

Thanks for the help and advice but I can't find those files even with resco and total commander. Guess I'll keep searching for that original thread...

Tip for creating cabs:
If you already have HDWall installed (e.g. to make transparent taskbars and softkeybars), you can use the built-in 'create cab' function to create your cabs - this saves installing an extra piece of software...
On the subject of tutorials, I can tell you from experience that creating your own 'digital' clocks is a lot easier than creating your own sliders.
The easiest way to go about creating a new digital clock is:
1. Take somebody else's clock cab (I've attached one of mine to this post)
2. Unzip it (Winzip will do it) to get the original files
3. Re-name the 'working' files back to their original 'manila names' (if you look inside the _setup.xml file, you can see the both the manila filename and the working filename e.g.
<characteristic type="1435ccbf_manila" translation="install">
<characteristic type="Extract">
<parm name="Source" value="FILE0001.001" />
means the file named FILE0001.001 should be re-named to 1435ccbf_manila etc. (note: the xxxxxx.999 file is not needed here!)
4. Once you have extracted and re-named all the manila files, you can use CFC_GUI to extract the PNG images for my clock to use as a guideline to making your own
5. Make your own PNG images
6. Use CFC_GUI again to insert your new images into the manila files
Note: My cab consists of 8 manila files:
4 files for the 4 sections of the clock (2 up and 2 down)
1 background for the clock (see attached screenshot)
1 file each for AM and PM
1 file with the numerals
If anyone is interested in seeing some of the other 'Glass Clocks' I made, you can find them all in this thread:

Have fun and good luck!

nice job mate, keep it up, my advice is to take a cab from the site, slider, clock or what ever you want to customize, extract it with wince cab manager (the best cab management software, in my opinion) and manila editor and photoshop can do right about everything to a image the important thig if you take part of some one elses work or inspire to ask permision and mention that you have inspired from that persons work

sorry for the confusion. the green clock and slider is what I,ve done, the lead clock is by dr ammar-jaguaralani.

Ok so I've modified the image files from a slider cab, converted back to QTC's and overwritten them back into the unzipped cab file.
How do I make it all back into a cab?
Got Quickcab.......select all the files from the left window but where to select to put them in the right window?

Thanks for your reply mate.
I thought that was where they always went, but last night I made my cab but when I installed it, nothing changed, tried 2 or 3 times too??
Please take a look at the screenshot below, is that correct? From there just go to "Create cab" right? Or am i missing something?
Thanks again for answering.

Did you extract your manila files from another .cab? (If so, have you maybe done it via winzip or something similar?)
The files you copied don't have the correct names... (manila files are always named "xxxx_manila")
If you give me all the files, I could make the .cab for you.
Otherwise, just PM me and we'll discuss this further

Hey mate
good job Thank you

Very Basic Question
Up to now I have only "consumed" as a user, but I start to dig deeper...
Basic Question: The manila files contain only pictures (skins, buttons etc.)? There is no code in?
So if I modify one of the manilas, I just change the appearance of that specific part of the screen?
If anyone could confirm or explain the function of the manila files, would be great.

Some Manila files are only graphics (called QTC) others are Luascripts and Mode9 (what you call code).
The tool described above will help you for the graphics

oh wow loads better than manila editor thanks man

Your welcome!

Which manila file is responsilbe for the day format in the weather tab?

copy your manila files in a folder on your pc and scan the folder with this
http ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464984 (remove the space before the : to get the link to work) and it'll give you the name of the files and therefore their functionality

I figured out that it is 308671e5_manila.
I edited the file to the desired format but it doesn't change in the weather tab.
Any idea?
