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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1400970#post1400970
sorry if you write me and i never write back im am extremley bussy now most of the time since ive gone back to work it takes up most of the time of my day and by the time i get home im too tired to do anything but ask around and im sure youll be able to figure out how to install the theme
if you want to see the theme working then go to this link for youtube to see my wing running the iphone theme
http://youtube.com/watch?v=cPt-7Au8Fp4
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
10/19/09
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
Ok first things first... I just came to the EVO from the Epic, so I'm gonna join this community now .
..::..Disclaimer..::..
You are voluntarily flashing this at your own risk. I can not be held accountable for anything you choose to do on your own. If you try to blame me, I will laugh at you. ....While pointing.
..::..Data Service Governer Killer..::..
1. What does this do?
This is a modification to the services.jar framework file, that allows you to have an un-throttled internet.
2. Will this make my internet faster?
Yes and No. This will not "Upgrade" your internet. This only takes the trottle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on. It doesn't provide you with a new internet, only a warm fuzzy feeling from knowing you don't have to worry about it capping off.
3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?
If it did, yours would be the first case I heard of. I've personally flashed it NUMEROUS times.
4. Will this work on any ROM?
Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY EVO ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, send me your services.jar file, and i will look for you. Hopefully, i'll be able to make a download list in a couple days with all the Dev's services.jar files, so you can download that specific one. You can always ask your Dev.
5. Do I have to be rooted?
Yes. In order to be able to flash this, you are going to need to have root with a custom recovery. I.E. Amon_Ra.
..::..Install Instructions..::..
Simply download, and place on the root of your sdcard. Then go into recovery and flash it as you would a ROM. Done.
..::..Download..::..
Data Service Governer Killer
..::ALTERNATIVELY::..
You can follow this method if you're Services.jar framework is already modified, or if you aren't sure.
1. Download these 2 files:
Smali_Baksmali
[fixed link for baksmili- op you can remove this line when u get to it ]
2. Create 2 folders on your C: Drive labeled "Smali" and "Baksmali". (This is for easy access to the folders when being cd'd)
3. Place the 2 downloaded files in the C: Drive folders accordingly. (I.E. Smali.jar in "Smali" folder, and Baksmali.jar in "Baksmali" folder.)
4. Using 7zip or WinRAR (or any other zip program) open the services.jar file that you pulled from your phone. Copy the "classes.dex" file and paste it into the "Baksmali" folder.
5. Open your command prompt and type the following:
cd C:/Baksmali
java -Xmx512M -jar baksmali.jar -o classes/ classes.dex
6. Open the newly created "classes" folder (its inside your Baksmali folder that you should already be in) and navigate through "/com/android/server/". Scroll down till you see the 6 or 7 "Throttle" files. They will be located between "TelephonyRegistry" and "TVCableObserver$1$1". DELETE ONLY THE "THROTTLE" FILES.
7. Back out of the folders until you are in the "Baksmali" folder again. Now open the "Smali" folder you created earlier. Place the "classes" FOLDER in the "Smali" folder.
8. Return to your command prompt and type this:
cd C:/Smali
java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar -o classes.dex classes/
9. You should now see a "classes.dex" file in your "Smali" folder. This is the NEW compiled services.jar classes.dex file. Pull up the 7zip or WinRAR file you had open earlier, delete the current classes.dex file from the services.jar, and place the newly compiled one in it's place.
10. Place the services.jar file back into your ROM, and boot up. You are now running Unthrottled.
11. If you do not see the "Throttle" files, don't complain they're not there, your Dev may have already taken them out.
If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a PM.
going to flash and test now
Can you provide the edits or edit my file individually?
I am pretty sure Cyanogenmod edits the services.jar as well as other rom builders. Might not be safe to say its made for other roms. Working yes, but it will only replace their services.jar edits.
True... I edited the post.

Why not just release the changes. and what files you made those changes to? then we can edit that jar... I am using the latest cm gingerbread builds. so i wouldn't mind testing it.

Um does sprint throttle service?

Would this work on Fresh. My internet on 4g isnt teribly slow at all but if you say there is a cap? then i would love to flash this with Fresh rom 3.5.0.1

I'm guessing this is the same services.jar edits highlighted in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863923
and is pretty easy, provided you can smali and backsmali a little. That thread is mostly concerned with T-mobile, and I'm not entirely sure we even get throttled on Sprint - yet, that could explain some of the inexplicable "slow 3G/4G/data" speeds people pop up with every now and then.
Within that thread there seems to be varying results but it will be interesting to see if this makes much a difference with the EVO on Sprint, ow that we might have, potentially, more people and data points testing it.
Within that same thread, this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9940780&postcount=257
looks like it provides a pre-modded and back to stock CM 6.1.1 services.jar.
If this is what the OP is employing here, kudos to bringing this to the EVO forum so others that might not forum hop as much get to see it.
If the OP is doing something different, Kudos again for thinking outside the box
Anyway, good post. Thanks

Again folks, this is NOT an internet upgrade. It simply REMOVES the throttle. If you have poor service where you are, it's not going to help any.

and how many people really get to 5GB? I have broadband at home so i use that and at work i use the LAN there, to go over 5GB..... you deserve no cap haha

Good morning everyone. I will be splitting this topic into two parts. The first post will be my a FAQ and my anecdotal evidence supporting my claim and how I came to this conclusion, and the second will be the instructions on how to duplicate. I didn't put the instructions in the first post because I want people to actually read this part first before jumping in and then asking the same questions over and over again.
FAQ
Q. Does this work everywhere, all the time?
A. No. As with any cellular technology, results will vary greatly. I know this works where I am. I make no promises that it will work where you are.
Q. I can't get more than X speed, help!
A. If you have followed these steps TO THE LETTER then I already have done everything possible. The only way YOU will see better speeds is to either connect to WiFi, move to an area with better infrastructure, build your own tower with fiber connection, or get a Femtocell.
Q. I'm running JimBob's SuperDeluxeAwesomestMegaWhooptieXXL ROM, does this work with it?
A. Most likely. As with ANY system change, make a full backup before attempting any changes. I am not responsible for you bricking your device.
Q. Can I ask a question that was answered either in the OP or right above where I asked?
A. I like turtles.
OK, on to my reasoning.
First, I have looked at each thread promising better speeds. All have, in my experience, been on the right track. However, none have really brought it all together to truly work perfectly. I was pretty happy with my 4mbit own connection.
Until the update from HTC came out. I hit 7-8mbit regularly where I was hitting 4 max before. Even in high traffic areas like Downtown Fort Worth, I had averaged 1.5-2 throughout the day on any custom ROM. With the new update, 4-5 average.
I wondered what the differences were that caused custom ROM's to not be able to achieve full speeds, when I could nandroid restore to the stock updated ROM and get those blazing speeds without ANY modification connected to the same towers.
So, I decided to "merge" my ROMs.
All of a sudden, 8mbit down on RCMix 6.1. 8mbit down on AR. 8mbit down on CM7(Edit: Only on versions which support the HTC RIL's, not all older versions do).
Holy smokes.
Second post with instructions en route.
Instructions
Prerequisites:
A basic knowledge of flashing ROMs and Radios on the HTC Inspire 4G and ADB commands
S-Off HTC Inspire 4G with CWM Recovery and AT&T service
MicroSD card inserted in phone
Root capable file explorer (I prefer Root Explorer, as it can set permissions)
Download the following three files and extract to the location of your choice on your SD Card: MultiUpload(Updated 05-13-2011)
EDIT: for testing, please download This instead, it should place the telephony.db FOR you. Please report back any permissions issues, or if it even works...
Steps:
NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE BEGINNING!
1. Place PD98IMG.zip(12.39a.60.19x_26.06.06.30_M) on root of SD Card (location: \mnt\SDCard) Reboot into bootloader to install updated Radio(If necessary, if you have already flashed this radio you do NOT need to reflash radio.)
2. Once radio is installed, reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery, go to mounts and mount /system, and install the Speed Boost .zip from CWM. This includes the (verified)updated RIL files for the radio as well as propeditor for the next step.
3. Once rebooted, Prop Editor should now be present in your app tray. Open and grant Root Access. Once you have completed that, BACK UP YOUR build.prop and copy to your ADB location on computer (this way you can recover if this step gets a little messed up, reboot recovery and ADB push build.prop /system)
4. Using Prop Editor, make the following changes and additions to your prop file(Note: Any line not expressly mentioned here SHOULD NOT BE CHANGED OR TOUCHED):
Code:
ro.ril.ecc.HTC-GCC=999,112,997
ro.ril.ecc.HTC-WWE=999
ro.ril.ecc.HTC-ELL=92,93,94
ro.ril.enable.a52.HTC-ITA=1
ro.ril.enable.a53.HTC-ITA=1
ro.ril.enable.a52=0
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=14
ro.ril.hsupa.category=7
ro.ril.hsxpa=3
ro.ril.disable.fd.plmn.prefix=23402,23410,23411
ro.ril.enable.sdr=0
ro.ril.enable.ucsq=2
ro.ril.enable.amr.wideband=0
ro.ril.att.feature=1
ro.ril.enable.gea3=1
ro.ril.radio.svn=3
ro.ril.enable.prl.recognition=1
*media.a1026.enableA1026=1
*htc.audio.hac.enable=1
*Ignore on CM7 based ROMs. It will eat your battery.
5. Reboot phone TWICE.
6. [EDIT: Not needed on CM7 sourced ROM's after nightly build 57, MIUI, Inspired Ace by gtg465x, see step 6a] Open your Root File explorer of choice, then copy telephony.db and navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases and rename existing telephony.db to telephony.db.old, then paste the new telephony.db in that location, and set permissions to rw-rw----. Reboot phone. *see below if phone.apk crashes on reboot
6a. Change APN's to match what is in THIS thread by henrybravo.
Be sure to hit his Thanks button too!
7. Once phone is rebooted, go to settings, wireless and networks, mobile networks, and access point names. Select the locked APN (Note: WiFi Hotspot still works)
This should complete the modifications, speeds should be much better.
* - If you get crashes in Phone.apk, reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery, choose Advanced, and Fix Permissions. This will cause a temporary issue in which Contact pictures do not appear in the Messaging app. To fix this,get a terminal emulator, then do these steps:
su
chmod 666 /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/*
This will fix this issue after reboot.
Many thanks to:
henrybravo, for the telephony.db method
IsraelR for the original build.prop thread
Any others I left off the list are purely unintentional. Please PM me and let me know!
I'm using the Inspire on Straight Talk, an AT&T MVNO. The APN settings won't work for me, should I just use what I have and apply the other steps in the process?
Also, thanks for the work!
What radio is it?

Flashing now, hoping it works. AT&T around here fluctuates like crazy, and it's a lot worse with the Inspire. I can get 400k/300k one minute, 4mb/2mb the next. Right before I started flashing this, I was getting 900k/300k.

Haha, I am ready for the hours. Fortunately, my method SHOULD work for any ROM for the Inspire, as it only affects certain files. We shall see, I suppose!
Locked APN?
I didn't come up with a locked APN after the procedure. They are all currently unlocked. I started with two:
MMS and MediaNet
I now have 4, they are "Entitlement", "MEdia Net", "MEdiaNet", and "MMS"
Not sure which to pick.
EDIT: It appears that my MediaNet and your Media Net are the same APN, and I am unable to choose Entitlement. I guess that answers that?

I'm not sure that was what was needed. I ended up with the default APN from my UltimateDroid ROM, which has some missing parameters and has always been very slow. In fact, I went from no appreciable speed increase with the procedure and 4 APNs to now quite a speed decrease. I'm going to add back the MediaNet APN. Let me know if I need any of the others added in there. ie: Entitlement.

You shouldn't, the new telephony.db should have provided two new APN's at that point. That is the purpose of copying it over.
Speeds are just as bad, if not worse for me. Granted, do NOT use my experiences to see if you should install this or not, as I'm not using AT&T for my service, I'm using Straight Talk.
Results after installing this:
700k down, 590k up

Speeds are just as bad, if not worse for me. Granted, do NOT use my experiences to see if you should install this or not, as I'm not using AT&T for my service, I'm using Straight Talk.

Did you reinstall the zip in the new download?
I'm posting here because its a G2X I'm working on and It seems to be an issue specifically with my phone as most others have no issues getting it to work.
The specifics. I'm trying to learn is my main reason for this, I'm working on a slightly modified version of Ultimate Rom on a G2X running Faux 0.0.3 ext2 kernel. I'm using Adw launcher EX as I'm building my first theme for it. I have shutdown sounds(the T-mo stock shutdown). I verified sounds were all set to max in the settings > sounds section. I've tested this under both CM and Ultimate so I think it's not a Rom specific issue
From what I've read the file needs to be named PowerOn.wav and needs to be located in the /etc/ directory with permissions set as rw-r-r-- for the file itself.
I cannot find specifics on file limitations only that some people have seen it limited to a 7 second clip. The one I want is slightly longer but I've tried a short 2 second clip as well as the longer 7 second clip.
The file was modified in a rudimentary style on a windows XP machine running a Fedora VM so god knows what may have happened in the background so to keep a clean slate I downloaded a simple "Droid.wav", renamed it appropriately and used that as a test, it also did not work. I'm renaming it in the terminal emulator and it was downloaded on the phone itself to exclude my work PC as the source of the issue.
File is PCM 44,000 kHz 16bit stereo 172kb/sec
I know I'm forgetting some bit of pertinent info but I'm taking calls (I work a call center) and so it's hard to stay focused lol. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer! (Or Trolls.. I appreciate a good troll.)
lol, This issue seems to get passed over no matter where I post it asking for help, It's kinda hard to care about it for most people I guess.
You know it never occurred to me to try .ogg
Will test and then come back and send you both $5 if it works lol.
Well I own Ben $5 lol, worked like a charm.
Thank you for saving my sanity Ben! I'll donate to you soon as my deposit hits paypal.
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.
