Change Touch Cube default BLUE theme to RED! - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General

Here's a quick cab file I made to change the default Blue theme on touch cube to RED, I will post cab files for green, yellow theme etc..
Just install then do a SR for the change to take effect, if you don't like it un-install SR to go back to Blue
*Please Note: this is only been tested on Touch Dual aka Niki on Orange UK ROM and HTCAsia WEE ROM may not work on other ROM or devices.

anybody have try this

Not working on Polaris... but thanks anyway, bye

Hi gfreek, I have tried on my touch dual (as named in HK), not so smooth using with the cube, and sometimes display hidden file names. Removed it at last. But thanks anyway.

in my HK Traditional Chinese version of Touch Dual, all Red*.brn and Red*.png required by the cube are already available in ROM. this means changing to Red color scheme is as easy as modifying the ColorSkin reg key value from "Blue" to "Red". I also noticed availability of some Green*.brn but seems the set is incomplete.
maybe some brothers from other locations can check whether they have \Windows\Red*.brn (e.g. RedA0.brn) on their devices.

I´ve tried this CAB, but it´s not working on my Dual, in fact it messed up my Cube, had to remove it...
pp18 I have in my touch the files you mentioned, how do you put your cube with red theme?

simply edit this registry key:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\ColorSkin]
"Color" = "Red"
(original value is "Blue")
after all, i found that there are more files named Blue*.brn/png than Red*.brn/png. there is possibility that certain built-in HTC application may have "missing skin" problem after changing to "Red" color scheme. yet, at least on my device all *.brn needed by the cube are there.
you can read this thread for more info about these image files

Spot on pp18! if all the Red*.brn files are not present in the Windows directory it will NOT work so it is ROM dependent however, I have tested this hack on both Orange UK ROM and now my present HTCAsia WEE ROM it works on both!
HTCzar what ROM is your touch dual?

yours is a HK version? do you have the CSL 4-sided cube or the standard 3-sided one? the trick gfreek made should not work on CSL 4-sided one, as there are red-scheme images for only 3 sides in the ROM.

I have an HTC Touch Dual TMN Portuguese ROM.
The change in registry key didn´t work in my HTC Dual, the Cube is still Blue
Can you post the files needed for this change?

It's work.
Touch Dual in thailand.
Thanks

TouchFlo: Why only ROM but no cab?

I´ve been following with interest the porting of touchflo interface to non-Elf (Touch) devices.
There have been lots of requests for developing a cab with files n settings for such an interface. It has been suceesfully ported to custom ROMs for Artemis, wizard...., but developers say that there is no way to build just a cab.
not being a developer, i would like to know the rationale behind "cab is no possible", as i can not undestand why, if touch flow can be ccoked to a ROM, it can not be made into a cab. Surely there is an explanation.
(i ask this question because i´d rather keep the stock ROM until warranty period is over, but i want to use my device (Artemis) as much as possible without reverting to stylus)
The Problem is that the Touch.dll must be replaced with the one from HTC Touch... this is not possible.
Only before cooking the Rom you are able to replace System DLLs
..
hope this helps
So the solution would be to make an installation rotine that unloads touch dll from memory, ,overwrites it with the replacement "flo" one, and then reload touch dll.
is that a workable solution under MsMobile platform?
Sorry if i´m proposing a nonsense, as i´m no programmer at all (just "hello world" stuff)
I'm not one of the ROM cookers here but I think the system dlls that need replacing cannot be deleted because they are in ROM and therefore, the device needs to be flashed to change behaviour.

or just the cab being reinstalled after every hard reset?
The touch.dll is different from device to device... so u'll have to have a "touch" dll that fits your device. Another reason is that the dll can not be changed after flashing the rom, has it is protected by the OS (not even using Total Commander...).
I try to overwrite Touch.dll via some program to replace the original Touch.dll.
After replace it, Touch-screen is no respond to any touch on the screen but Hardware button still working ,then I restore my device.
In my idea, I think Touch.dll is device specific and this file take control all of touch-screen. So Touch.dll cannot be replace by conventional method.
We have to rewrite Touch-Flo program to hook on another dll, e.g. Touch-Flo.dll. (This is just my theory) But I don't know "How to do it ?".
Does anyone have idea about it ?

Well, until Tytn II(Kaiser) is released, the only touch-flo enabled phone that can be bought off the shelf is HTC Touch.
So all cooked ROMs for Artemis, Wizard.....that include touchflo, must include touchflo dlls extracted from HTC Touch ROM.
Then, my understanding is that, as these touch-flo ROM do actually run on devices other than HTC Touch, the dll´s needed must be not so "device specific" but (more or less) generic for QVGA devices without graphics processor (or at least for OMAP 200 devices).
maybe its not only touch dll, but also other files which have to be replaced by files from HTC Touch.
Has any body managed to extract the touchflo files from HTC touch or TytnII??? If yes then kindly post them here. Maybe we can try to put it in other models like Hima..

There a number of ROMs that include TouchFlo in Prophet, Artemis n Wizard xda-dev forums.
i dont know how to extract specific files from a ROM file, nor which files are flo-related files, and have to be extracted.
Surely the cookers of those ROMs can advise and even provide the Flo files.

touchflo requires Touch.dll, and Touch.dll is not an application. Itz part of the OS which is device dependent. Unless someone writes a fully working touchflo cube, managed to remove the current touch.dll with his own dll, then it is portable from device to device.

funny thread in the sense some pple is asking the same again and again.
I would summarize state of art as follows:
-Some ROMs with Touch flo have been developed by forum members for devices other than HTC Touch.
-Touch flo files are available for those who want to cook their own ROM, at least for OMAP devices.
- As today,Touch flo files can not be installed in a device over an existing ROM because installation can not overwrite certain files as they are in use by the system.
Workaround (Yet To be made)would be an installation routine that unloads files to be replaced, and loads touchflo ones. This routine should be performed after every reset, as resets reloads the files from original ROM.
Here are a bunch of cabs to give you the look of the Touch but these won't give you the finger scroll feature.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225
I personnally don't care for the eye candy on my wizard, but like the touch driver that lets me finger scroll. The OEM packs I've seen bundle this driver with the today plug-in, but there's just a few files specific to the touch driver that can be separated out from the today plug-in.

to get fingerscrolling you'll only need the touch.dll not othere file or regestry setting but somehow it doesn't seem to work for all devices. I don't know why... if it just can't work or no one figured it out yet?

HTC Polaris - HTC Home customization

hello, about a month ago I bought a HTC Polaris (actually the "Find" version, sold by the Italian TIM),
I've some problem in costumizing the HTC Home, i.e. in changing from 4 to 6 tabs:
I followed the procedure posted in (2nd trick):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355277
but I realised that all the modifications I make to the order of Tabsetting have no effect at all,
moreover, I can see just 5 tabs, not the music tab!
help! any idea?
thanks, Ste
Just try this prog: http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html

the switch from 4 to 6 tabs should be easily obtained just by
adding the Tabsetting string, whitout the need to install anything...
I wonder why this doesn't work on my mobile
i had a simillar problem with aserg's wwe rom.
the only difference was that i couldn't see the contacts tab.
I had to install the latest HTC Home version to use all 6 tabs.
hope this helps.

just in case, to revert back to my original HTC Home I have to unistall the new version with "program uninstall"?
or I have to backup my device first?
Ste
I dont know, but i think, only hardreset is possible to "uninstall" this version...
mmm, I also wonder why on my HTC the order of the tabs
Tabsetting = 1,2,3,4,5,6
doens't matter at all...
Moreover, even if I remove some tabs, I always get 5 tabs (without the music one), maybe everything is embedded in the ROM, and cannot be changed?
However, before to insert the Tabsetting string and delete the Quickdial one,
I had only 4 tabs!

I download the 6 tab version and, without intalling it, I checked file by file
the differences between the CAB files and those installed in the phone:
the file are the same, and also the registry keys,
however the files on the phone are newer
(e.g. HTCHome.dll ver. is 2.10.1813.2022)
The funny stuff is that in the \Program Files\HTC Home\ directory, the
icons for the Music Player are there! So it seems that the version installed
foreseen the possibility to have a music tab...
I know, I will go crazy with that...

How to change TF3D colour scheme

Hello,
i bought an HTC blackstone 3 months ago and it came with an operator ROM (SFR France). All works perfectly but i'm looking for a trick to change the colour of TF3D. The SFR Rom TF3D colour scheme is red/white, but i prefer the offical black colour.
Is there a way to do this without flashing and without totaly replace the TF3D ?
Perhaps just change a registry key or editing a config file ?
Thanks for you answers.
Edit :
Here you can see the actual SFR (vodafone) colours : http://www.vodafone.com/etc/medialib/media_images_autumn.Par.59561.Image.o.gif (it's not the Blackstone.. just an example )
(Sorry for my bad english, i'm french )
Does anyone have a solution for my question ?
Thanks
Have you tried installing a new theme?
Hum no. But that's why I ask how to do this "setting" without installed a theme or completely remove the actual.
There is no way to change a registry value, for example, maniala color : red --> to black ?

Not as far as I know. You'd have to alter the manila files i.e. install a new theme
I'm not the most knowledgeable though, so I'd be tempted to wait for someone to confirm what I said
Mind you, if it was me, I'd install a new ROM altogether to get rid of all the crap that comes with an operator-altered ROM
No chance. You have to use a theme

Last questions:
Where can i find the original HTC HD theme (full original without modifications or custom parameters) ?
Is the original theme linked with the language, for example : i've a french rom, if i change the theme with an original HTC hd theme (english rom) (if someone can tell me where i can find it ) , may somes bugs appeared and my original language altered ?

Debranding from Orange UK

Hi what are the easiest ways to debrand my Touch HD from orange???
Can I do anything through registry settings?
Thanks...
Do you mean the boot screen (may say HTC innovation or similar) or a black loading screen?
In the Windows directory of your device, look for welcomehead.96.png. This is what is displayed as the OS is loaded, and to change it, simply replace the file with another 320 x 320 pixel png.
hI i found that and others ut is there not any other orange applications that will be in there that aren't needed? Or is flashing rom only option?

I think flashing to a custom ROM will be your best bet as this will unlock it allowing you to flash to any ROM of your choice depending on your needs. For information on how to do this, please see this link.
Also running a Orange Touch HD, reflashed and now happy !!
I'm running a very nice rom from Laurentius26. I've tried various ones, all created with a lot of hard work I'm sure and I wouldn't know where to start to create one.
The difference with this one I find is that instead of just changing alot of things on every release, this rom does actually appear to have been debugged and is a very stable release. The only problem I have found is that when you adjust the volume, sometimes it overlays the volume slider over the home screen when it should be just a black back ground. a quick power off and back on and all is sorted.
Anyway, reflash will get rid of the Orange add ons which IMHO don't do alot !
All the best Phil

Hi,
The Microsoft orignal keyboard is still there, only disabled in the registry.
Here's how to get it back : check the registry keys listed below and modify the relevant values if they're different. Add missing keys or values.
Then just long press on your keyboard icon to pop a menu allowing you to select either HTC EZ Keyboard or the original one. Maybe you'll have to reboot before it becomes available (not even sure about this).
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36BC8FF6-8241-4C36-ABDE-204885471FEE}\DefaultIcon]
@="\\Windows\\ezinput.dll,0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36BC8FF6-8241-4C36-ABDE-204885471FEE}\InProcServer32]
@="\\Windows\\ezinput.dll"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36BC8FF6-8241-4C36-ABDE-204885471FEE}\IsSIPInputMethod]
@="1"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}]
@="Keyboard"
"ShiftLock"=dword:00000000
"KBMode"=dword:00000005
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\DefaultIcon]
@="msim.dll,0"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\InProcServer32]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}\IsSIPInputMethod]
@="0"
I currently have 3 of them displaying in my list : original WM keyboard, HTC keyboard and FingerKeyboard.
If you fancy renaming the HTC Keyboard name in the menu into whatever you like, you'll find it there :
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{36BC8FF6-8241-4C36-ABDE-204885471FEE}]
@="HTC keyboard"
; (or anything else you'd like)
If you're not familiar with the registry, I could make a CAB for you and post it here.
