First of dont be afraid, you wont brick your phone installing a theme There is no risk involved.
If you are searching for themes you can try here and here^^
of course there are far more, but you might wanna start there
If you have questions concerning the themes and how to install them, plz first read some posts in these threads so that no unnecessary questions are ask, if you still dont know how, then just ask in these threads the OPs are there to help you
I would recommend though, that you first install CHT 2. Its necessary for the most themes and for the other stuff you will find here. Without it you more or less can throw away your HD2^^
Just use the search function of the forum and you will surely find it
And for the next time you have questions, I would recommend you first search the forum on your own before opening a thread like that. On the first site of this forum there are 3 threads with more than 15 themes. So you could have found something.
Just remember that for the next time
thank you so much i did look up themes on here but really couldnt find any thing but im sure your right i am sorry
as other posters have said, you should try CHT 2.....

we all have to start somewhere bud, i was like you just over a year ago but now i have the perfect phone, well i like it anyway
you'll be fine mate.....

Hello everyone
Im what you guys would call the ultimate Noob at rom creating
i ve created my rom kitchen and made several attemps at creating my first rom ......with very lil sucsess i may add .... i ve made roms that dont start right and even dont go passed the bootloading screen ...lol but all of you have started where im at and probably say yeah i remember those days ...lol
anyway i ve talked to some of you a lot and the seinor members and moderators seem to help me a lot which im thankful for but im afraid im still not on the right page of where i need to be as far as rom creating is ive taken your advise and put it to good use and has got me as far as im am now but i think im just anoyed at my self for not really getting it ........ i have flashed maybe everbodys rom on here to my poor att Tilt ..from Dutty's to Hyperdragon III and liked that the way Sleuth's 3.0 is i would like to make a rom like his i ve tryed to understand the UC concept of his rom but im just not getting it ..... I really dont like to give up on things that interest me but at this point im afraid of messing up my Tilt........any help would be greatly appreciated .
Here's my advice:
Punctuation, grammar, and lose the boldface print... no need to emphasize your entire post.
thank you i will do that. sorry this is my first time posting anything .
What happened to the other 8 posts by you?
i ve taken a few steps forward, but still im learning . thanks for asking
Wrong Foot
Im very new to posting threads and fourms period and i came across this web site on a google search and checked it out. I read some things here and thought this was very interesting stuff mabye i could learn this and do it to my phone.So here i am learning and asking questions and trying out what im learning on this site on my phone and seeing some amazing things go on in my phone . I am pleased at myself for what i have done . But like all things new, sometime you get stuck at a point where you need a lil help so thats why im posting this thread to see if someone who has been though this before can help me understand a bit more about the ROM creating process. Im sorry for posting a lot of time,and asking a lot of questions and im also sorry for my mispelling of some words in my post but if i can get someone to maybe take me under there wing and show me the ropes that would be great. I would like to see my name next to a rom that i created one day.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post.
Hello everybody....
I'm now active on this forum for a week or so...
All I do is reading reading reading .. did I mentioned reading?
Just because I want to learn everything. There are so many things that are for me, and I think for a lot of other people just not clear/understandable.
I really want to understand everything because I'm getting my pro in a couple of days...
But I realize that my knowledge doesn't reach that far...that's why I read a lot.But people here on this forum...the ones that are a (little) bit further in this knowledge are bugged all the time with stupid/boring questions.
So:
Maby it's an idea to write some manuals about all the basic things...
And maby a little bit explanation
Things like how apply a theme etc etc
also:
I think that it would be very handy if everyone just ad a little description about the program he is uploading...like what is it?how to install it?
So where it's all about:
It would be great if someone or someones would write soms 'how to's )
And make it a sticky one offcourse!
I hope ya all agree.....
Only wanna make things better for everyone.....
but hey....think about it....everyone gets happy...right?
Great idea
I totally agree with you.
I'm a big fan of "monkey-proof" manuals for people who do not have IT knowledge but still want to tweak his/her device.
If i can assist you in anything by writing or searching info on XDA then i'm willing to help.

Your not in the wrong thread?
Perhaps it's completely obvious that they do but I just wanted to check before I flashed my phone later as I really like the Android Market.
Cheers, Roy.
Ok first of all. Try look at the forum name, it is called Sapphire android development. Your topic has nothing at all to do with it.
Second of all, why would you think the other ROMs would NOT include the market?
First of all, I put it in this section as it relates to the ROMs being cooked here. Silly of me to think it may be related.
Second of all, it was a simple question, I hadn't seen it mentioned in the threads for the other ROMS and just wanted to double check before I flashed my phone. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Third of all, Bulbasaur beats Squirtle!!
Yes they do include the android market. If needed use market enabler to show paid apps if not supported in your country.
There, that wasn't hard to answer was it. So many quick to criticise on here instead on helping. I remember when it was a community...(drifts off into fond memories of the WM forum days with my XDA II)
I know mate. Back when I used to use this forum to Flash my HTC touch diamond people were always more then happy to help.
At the end of the day, if I've got a question then I'm going to ask it. Better I do that rather then I don't ask and end up bricking my £200+ phone!
Anyways it's Friday
Agreed. Anyway, the dev forum is usually the most active, and most likely to get your question seen,

I realy dont know why if you dont like the question dont answer it, its not hard
politeness hurts no one.
I am yet to find any rom without Market and doubt I ever will
This forum is getting flooded by the same questions over and over again, because people can't find out how to use the search function, also that question - if you think about it was a bit stupid. Seriously why would a ROM maker NOT include the android market? None of the ROMs I have tried includes it. And IF it was excluded it would be easy to take the apk file from another ROM and just put in the /system/app folder - how hard can that be?
I advise you to try it the hard way, you always have the possibility of doing a nandroid backup and restore it.

now now no need for all that! use a bit of tact mate. the guy asked a question and yes you answered but in the wrong way! yeah he should have searched and maybe thought before asking but he did and he didn't need to be told off. man this place is rapidly going down hill and its sad. back in the day people could ask whatever they wanted over and over again and the reply was always friendly. its a matter of choice so refrain from responding in future in sort a manner....... seriously don't defend your actions just realise they were a bit harsh and chill! this is a share and help forum and people seem to forget that!
Bad day.......

There is no automatic weather update in manila 2.5.19211... I have ticked the "download data automatically". I have also selected every one hr. but updates seems to happen only when manually going to the weather page or tab. I am using udk Leo R7.

Then ASK in the thread of udK. Don't open new threads for simple things like this.
Post in right thread.
Don't open new threads if not really necessary.
Read and use the search-button.
And don't forget Google...

Hi. Ok, i have recently seen various post where people are asking for help about a partiqular issue. Yet all the the time, u have been either rude or cockey and totally demotivating.
I can understand your fustration that some people may have not used the search function,have posted in the wrong thread, or ultimatley have started a new thread, but i feel that is not the way to respond. y dont u just point them to the right direction in a more friendly way?
we were all a newbie once...(well i still am Lol!!)
I hope u dont take it the wrong way, but i personally wouldnt like it if someone responded like that. As a senior member, we look up to you guys to try and help us and or point us to the right direction.

Thanks to all who don't use search and open directly a new thread, it is more difficult to find something for the searching people (like me), because you get a huge number of hits with irrelevant threads... Get it?
I don't want to demotivate but motivate to search and read. When you give directly a helping link, they stay doing it.
Seeing every time new opened threads from newbies with every time the same silly questions, that's very demotivating for us, the people who supposed to help you. And that's what you'r looking for here, somebody who wants to help you. We don't have to do it, but we like it because this forum is a bit like a hobby for us.
So, we can shoose, saying nothing more or trying to teach you how a forum works. I prefer the last thing... And if somebody like me (the bad one) point you in the right direction, it's not for beeing bad, but for getting a better usefull forum. You can see in my posthistory that it's really multiple times a day that new useless threads were opened...
Normally it's a work for the moderators, but they also have a live and can not be always here, because also them are doing this as a hobby. Be all glad that I don't be one of them or it was the same comment and also closing the thread directly.
I take some time for this post because I can quote him for futur use when I get comments again from not-readers, not-searchers, new-post-openers and silly-question-posters...
If you have really followed my posts, you know that I help a lot when the rules are followed a bit...
And do you know why I can help others? Because I read a lot...
I am using UDK R7, I get the updates,.. have you tried a hard reset see if that sorts it out...
Sorry that i posted to wrong section. I thought it was a problem with Sense and not the rom, reason being my posting to this section. I think hard resetting would be extreme. Will search and see if anything comes up.

I understand bro, all i was getting at was just try to put it in a nicer way,thats all. regarding "silly" posts or questions, yeah, i have seen some VERY silly questions and i think to myself "the human stupidity IS infinite"! and i understand that it is coz of those posts/questions, ppl can get fustrated as it does clutter the forum.
I know you have helped alot of ppl, continue to do so.
i admit i personally havnt had alot of input in the forum as i still am a newbie, and anytime i have thought of answering a question, i fall back thinking if i am giving the right or wrong answer as i dont wanna make a fool out of myelf just being honest bro.
I'm sure there's a post related to this, but I haven't been able to locate the information.
I have an ATT Pure version of Topaz
My question is the icon (slider) bar on the phone has a blue background behind the icons and it wont go away. I'm new to making mods to the phone say is there a cab out there to chang this? and or if a file what do I do in order to add it into the phone and update this blue bar. I'd prefer it to be clear and allow my wallpaper to show through it.
Thanks for your time and help

Search for a transparant slider. Not so difficult...
Don't open a new thread for each question you have.

Koen-ronse, these forums are littered with you telling people to search for things. You can see that some people are noobies and don't yet know the terminology or even the language, but you persist. I have checked your posts and sure enough about 50% of these relate to you telling people off for not searching. Please stop it. I waste more of my time reading your unhelpful posts like this than those of other people.
Triton 360 - it is not the transparant SLIDER you need to find, it is the transparant CURTAINS. Depending on what Manila you have will depend on what you will need. Check your manila type in the settings tab of your touch flo. Then search for the right one for your phone. If your TouchFLO 3D number starts with 2.0, then you will be able to use the file attached here. You can of course try it anyway, but if you do, be sure to back-up first.

I'm from Belgium. Here we speak Dutch, French and a bit German. Most of my English I've learned here and on the internet in general by reading and even now at the moment my online Google translator is opened... So no excuse for that...
But even with the exact words it's difficult to find the right thread or post if you're searching something. And that was not a problem about 2 years ago. That's started with all the new users now. It takes a little work, but if everybody does a little effort, this forum can be a strong instrument again...
Before htc was only buyed by people who were really interested. Now htc is a more commercial product. People buy it and thereafter they can not work with it. They are not interested, they just want that it works. So they don't read, don't search... They just want an instant solution or link for there problem... Result: 100's questions of the same type... It's really demotivating for people who love there device and want to learn and share knowledge here...
I really hope that mods can do something at that, but i'm afraid it's a hopeless situation. I'm allready happy if I can prevent somebody of opening a second useless thread, even the first one is allready one to much...

I have had to read through more flaming posts than stupid questions lately.

Thanks! mitsi, that did the trick.
Sorry Koen I was unware of what that object was called, so I was looking for "sliders" and not finding the information I was looking for.
Thanks again.
Interesting...
Couple members on this, Topaz XDA underforum, have behaviour like MODs or ADMIN, but them ARE DIDNT THAT...Why this members get mods job ??? You are "members" or "senior members"...dont "moderator" or "administrator"...And if dont will, or if dont know helping oder "younger" members or "newbies" , than please dont reply with "clevering"... But, if something isnt about forum rules, that make "clean" moderators...
Thanks and
