iphone theme on wing

Important:
before i begin let me say this is not my own work i did not wright these apps/files ive simply put them all toghether in order to create an iphone theme for my T-Mobile Wing. if you ever recive a message from me charging you for this theme then ignore it completly.everything i am providing you is entirley freeware. the reason i am telling you this is because there sevral people out there right now selling this files/apps as there own, but there are also people outthere that actualy do make there own and sell them so dont get confused.
zip. files
iphone-0.97
icontact_v0.2
Cab. files:
slide2unlock-wm5
tcpmp.pocketpc.0.72RC1
for thoes of you who dont have t-mobile or dont have myfaves. your gonna have to do some editing in the config file in order to change what it opens.ive also added a couple of icons in the icons folder so you can also change the myfaves icon.
in order for this to work properly with out having to do any editing to the config. everything must go into your storage card
unzip all the zip files attached to this email and then copy them to your windows mobile device.same goes with the cab. files.
once all the files and cabs are installed onto your device then you can run the iphone theme wich should be found in you storage card through file explorer hope this works for you,as it has for me.
sorry if the instalation instructions aren't great but they should be good enough in order to set up the theme for thoes of you who've done this kinda stuff wont even need the instructions
ENJOY!
FOR THOES OF YOU WHO ARE GETTING INK. FILE NOT FOUND WHEN YOU OPEN ICONTACTS
some people have been messaging me that when they try open icontacts from the theme there getting ink. file not found to correct this youll have to do some copy and pasting
you must exit the iphone theme first before doing this and you can restart it once your done
first you have to replace the config file found in the iphone themes folder with the new one i have provided below. everything will be the same i have just done some simple editting wich should get icontacts to work.once this is done then just go to the part of the storage card were you have icontacts and copy it then go to my device and click the windows folder once there just paste the icontacts app and this should get it to work. if not then uninstall icontacts and just reinstall it to your device
for thoes who want to edit the config file themeselves and not download the one i have then simply replace the part in the config file that has this
\Storage Card\Program Files\icontact\icontact.exe
and replace it with this
\Windows\icontact.exe
but you will still need to do the copy and pasting steps above
hopefully this helps let me no if it doesnt
ive tried my best to edit the config just right so you wouldnt have to do any but even tho you more then likely will have to do some editting
for thoes of you using tmobile wing go hear and post some stuff you may have to help others improve there device as well as find stuff to improve your's

ok a lil something about icontacts this may or may not help some people but im posting it anyways if you start icontacs and it works but none of you name or numbers for your contacts apeer than you may have to transfer your contacts to your simcard or device itself im not sure right now wich one it is but try either one and it may help. im not sure if this goes for the newer versions of icontacs i havent used it yet so yea just a lil tip
ask around and im sure youll be able to get this theme running on your wing

just an update
i no longer own the wing and am now a proud owner of the mytouch 3g but there are still plenty of other tmobile wing users out there that would most likely be willing to lend a helping hand. just be sure to always do some reading and searching first.
TmobileWingUser
mod edit: Link to Slide2Unlock removed.

awesome
if you own a wing you should definetely do this to your phone, and also thank tmobileuser for giving us this chance to do the same to our phones

haha I Love how my video is the first one that shows up on the suggestion list
i might try this out later today or tonight, looks pretty nice and fits tmobile perfect. always wanted to try that ipod thing out

for anyone who trys this let me no if everything opens smoothly so i no wether ill have to edit the config or not thanx for you help

is that ipod program in it? i never installed uPod but I did download it awhile ago. do we have to install that ourselves too?

the ipod that i had in my video was a trial version so i replaced that button to start slide2unlock instead

Oh, well I found the pPod and change that link to actually start the pPod program. Works great, love the icons!

thats cool is the pPod version you got a trail verson or no if its not can you send me the link were you got it from so i can put it back on my phone thanx

Installation
Can someone post a word document on how to install these file on my wing? Also, would it be best to wait until myFav is turned on. I just purchased my wing and myFav isn't on yet.
Thank you tmobilwinguser for posting these files and anyone else who can help me get my phone like the video on youtube.

Installation
Disgard my first request for instruction. I justice two things one tmobilwinguser has listed instructions and on his youtube post he will be adding a short video to show how to install it on the wing.
Thank again tmobilwinguser

where do you place the batterstatus folder at on your phone, and open it to?

Does this work on HTC Touch? the themes look nice and i wish to install it on my touch. thanks guys

does this work in Htc Touch? thanks

does any body have the same problem
when i click on the contacts icon it says .Ink file not found, if anybody else has the same problem, please reply. or if they can tell me where they put the icontact folder at.

i just finished putting it on and it is sweet hey thanx for the post im going to use this for sure, i think it runs better than when your useing wm6. Well any i do have one question were do you put the icontacts it said it cant find it when i click on the icon? But other than that like i said its cool lol

Optional Battery Status
Optional
for this program at least for me anyways it doesnt matter were you put it i have mines on device and once installed you can open it from your programs
for thoes of you who may be using the t-mobile wing and find it kinda slow or slugish then i recomend using a program called battery status it overclocks your cpu in order to run faster i currently have mines clocked to 286 but i recommend you start at 247 first and then go from there like i said this is optional you dont need this in order for the iphone theme to work i just though id add it for thoes who may want it

how do you change the icons for it and how can you change the front picture of the lock screen?

for those having the problem with the icontacts , i figured out what the problem is. open the iphone folder and look for a document called "config". scroll about half way down to where it says \Storage Card\Program Files\icontact\icontact.exe.you have to capitalize the "c" in icontact. it should look like this .....\iContact\iContact.exe. i hope this helps. NOTE o not play arund with anything else in this document if you don't know what your doing.also i havethe file located in my storage card.

how can i get those programz i am tryin 2 download it it wont let me

help with iphone theme
I can't download the zip files, and when is the slide2unlock going to be back for download. I just ordered my wing and should be getting it on friday so i wanted to know if anyone could help me with downlaoding the files

orange home

ok im not even sure if this is the right place to post this so mods could you move/delete as needed thanks.
secondly im well aware this has probably been posted before or that noone wants it but i thought id ask. i have managed to rip the orange home plugin from my m700 and got it fully working on my wm6 mdaIII sso i see no reason why this shouldnt work on other devices but i thought id ask if anyone would like the files for it before i post them up. i cant make cabs yet so its mainly a reg file and copying a load of files at the moment
thanks

[Q] replacing allways all files from one apk?

Hi,
just one short noob question.
If a got a mod that changes some files and another one changing different files but in the same *.apk - i.e framework-res.apk - existing one is completly overwritten by installing second *.apk?
And the only way is to pull existing one from phone and replacing new files inside manually?
Thanks + Greets
idephili

Hi,
i thought answer were quite easier...
I come from windows 6.5 and there it is possible to change single manila files per cab-installation.
On android it looks for me that only the whole apk is substitued, so differents mods replace each other.
Some hints please.
Greets
idephili

Yes, the whole apk is substituted. The only way to "merge" apk's is to flash in recovery instead of installing or pushing. Editing apk's are simple tho. I guess the hardest part would be figuring out what part changes what you are looking for.

Thanks.
Does this mean: creating two update.zip´s with 2 different i.e. systemUI.apk will merge? And is it the point "apply update from sd-card" or just "install zip from sd-card"?
I made some mods for my own but are still not skilled in creating these update.zip-files, using the push method.
For me it´s equal, i know the changements but for publishing them it´s difficult. People want to keep their just made changes. But when it works in this "merging-way" i´ll start skilling..;-)
Greets
idephili

Upon further thinking, I don't believe that merging apk's is possible. Especially for system app simply from the way android views apk's. They are actually zips so they wouldn't be able to transfer info from one over to another without unzipping, merging, zipping, signing, and installing. Didn't mean to get your hopes up but if you would like to try, you would install zip from sd card. Apply zip from sd card assumes you have an update.zip in the root of ur sd. Most mods are pretty easy to spot and manually merge into what you want. I know its a lil frustrating but hey, it'll be worth it right? I'm not an android expert by any means but id like to help u if u need it.

Thank you.
The point ís that i can´t believe that android seems to be in this point more impractical than WindowsMobile 6.5 where can change every single by cab-install.
On android it looks like that u have to merge different mods - referring to the same apk - for your own cause only complete replacement is possible.
Greets
idephili

Yeah, makes me kind of miss Windows Mobile. I can always fire up my HD2 I guess. It kinda sucks that you can't merge, but who knows? Maybe someone will come up with an app to do so in some fashion. Until then, you may use ninjamorph on your phone and edit apks like that. I know it doesn't really solve the problem entirely but if you are away from a computer and need to edit still, that will be your best bet. You can even sign the zip if you have to with signapktic. This was a really good question by the way. I'm surprised no one has come up with a solution as far as I know.

I hope you haven't abandoned this thread and check back. I have a solution to your problem. I had it on my phone the whole time too. Its name is Metamorph. It will allow you to have your apk. And then replace only select files within it without overwriting other changes. I'm so sorry for making you think it wasn't possible. It came to me at lunch that that's the reason metamorph was created in the first place. Hope this helps you.

Hi,
i put a bit of metamorph to pc.

Launcher/Navbar, dock Whatever you call it

I've been rooted for about 3 months. I like flashing and changing what I can to try and get the most out of my phone. My issue is this. Many of the new roms have the updated launcher which is all good but the new navbar is so big and goofy looking compared to the old one (of course in my opinion) is there a way to make a flashable zip of the old 3 "button", grey navbar? Or do I just have to get used to the new one. Can post pics if I'm being unclear
Just wondering if I'm the only one who feels this way about the newer launchers?

The uot kitchen might have what you need?

thanks i just havent had time to go look and see if i can cook that myself... There wouldnt be some good books i could pick up to learn about doing my own dev work would there? Ive got ideas but not any know how on how to get them past the idea phase Thanks

No luck in the kitchen. i dont know why i dislie it so much but it really does keep me from using alot of roms

You would need to edit the 9.PNG files in framework-res.apk. this can be done with the kitchen and other tools running in the proper linux environment.

Please elaborate. Still somewhat of a noob. Thank you though

I looked all over the kitchens sight for a way to contact the people who run it to ask them but I couldn't find it. BUT I was playing Dead Island at the time so my attention was divided. Zombies with guns. What the hell?

Here is a method that may work with just using the kitchen. First you want to take an old 2.1 Rom and make a working folder in kitchen. Then take whatever Rom you are going to use and create a working folder for that one as well. It will ask if you want to back up your other working folder, select yes. You should end up with 2 working folders. What you could do is take the 9.PNG files out of the sense 2.1 rom. They are in system/framework/framework-res.apk. you will have to extract the folder then open the same folder in the Rom you want to use and extract that as well. See what the names of the matching files are and change the name of the 2.1 files to match the files in the Rom you want to use. Once you do that replace them with the 2.1 files. Compress the folder and rename the .zip to .apk. After that proceed with step 99 to build Rom and flash. If it does not work then you will have to use apk manager, which you will have to study up on because it requires a lot more dependancies than the kitchen does. I recommend installing ubuntu to do all this in. I have never swapped 9.PNG files so I am not sure if it will work. This does work with normal .PNG files though. So it is worth a shot.

WOW that sounds complicated. But being as curios and eager to learn as i am i will give it a shot. I assume you mean installijng ubuntu on my netbook so ill figure that out throug google or something, ill try to find some lit on this subject before trying so i can read up on it Thank you so much for your help. None of my friends that i personally know are into this so the only people that i can talk to about it is online friends. Its always easier having someone next to you versus trying to message and post back and forth, Thanks though your the ****

Just swapping .9 will work as long as the dementions are the same. If the themer changed them you will bootloop.
Here is some advice. Grab your favorite theme zip and unzip it with 7zip. Then unzip the apks and look around to get comfortable with the folder layout and image names. The hit up the apk multitool thread and read up on it. Except for the sdk and Java it is all in there. Everything a Modders needs short of the kitchen.

So by what Zelendel says, I don't need to use the kitchen and ubuntu??? It's really complicated to install and I've o.ly got Windows 7 starter on my netbook.

You guys are awesome though. I really appreciate all the help

Hey buddie I might to late on this one but just in case lol
HTC Inspire

Thanks man I will use that video. I watched the beginning earlier to check out the ubuntu install. Thanks man

Ok I had to go to HTC.com before posting to double check but I just looked at all the new phones and they all have the navbar that I'm trying to keep around. So my question is where did the one that is in all the newer ROMs cone from? I had initially though HTC changed it AMD that's why we were seeing them on all the Roms we love to flash but if the new phones don't have it why does is end up even on a port from another phone that "completely stock, out of the box" have the smaller navbar that I seem to like so much.
Anywho I finally go ubuntu installed in my Virtual Box so I've got to wait till I get off work today to start playing with it. Hope it works. Thank you everyone for the advice and help. I will let you know how it works out. I'm sure it won't be that easy and ill have more questions though. THANKS

They are from unofficial releases that devs got their hands on.

I may be in over my head a nit but I'm still going to try. In ubuntu every time I shut the machine down instead of saving the current state when I open it again it tells me to upgrade the BIOS. I can't find any info on that particular problem. I'm also having issues with the java install. I install it and it seems to go just fine but when I try to verify it says command not found.

[Q] Rearrnage screen layouts from windows

Hi folks
Ive had a look around and cant find anything that matches this question.
One of teh iphone/itunes features that I did actually like, as opposed to the many things I didnt like about that bloatware, was the ability to rearrange the various screens directly from itunes.
Is it possible to do something similar from Windows to Android?
Im using GoLauncher on cyanogenmod 7 with a Galaxy S2. Ideally some form of GUI app on my PC would be brilliant, but if I have to edit some files manually, that wouldnt be too much of a hardship.
I know its not exactly hard to edit directly on the screen, but everytime I switch to a new ROM, I have to start again. Being able to save layouts or swap between a couple would be ideal.
Thanks in advance.
Phil
