Customizing Funcontact - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I have been exploring various contact managers and i really enjoy funcontact, my biggest problem is the lack of customization. I found out where the original icons were and tried to modify them and after i was done and reset my phone the program started to load and then there was an error that said no skins found please reinstall......i was wondering if anyone knows how to modify or create skins for this program.....any response would be appreciated

Advice on several items please

Hey guys and gals. Right, i'm a newbie to all this stuff. Although i have managed to change my t-mobile theme to that of the black HTC theme. I've got a t-mobile mda compact iv and i'm really keen on wanting to expand my knowledge.
I tried to download a couple of games from the t-mobile site, but couldn't quite manage to get them to work. Maybe i didn't save them to the correct place.......
Where and how do i do this.
Also can someone explain to me the 'manilla editor', 'system config', 'total commander' and the best way to get some more themes etc.
Sorry if you've all heard these requests before, but once i get to know my way round a bit more, i won't need to ask such mundane questions.
Thanking you in advance

Well, it's not surprising that newbies ask such "mundane" questions, as most applications really don't explain what they are, and names can be misleading
Perhaps the mods could edit certain obscure application threads so that it's not so opaque?
Anyway, manilla is the name of the touchflo 3d application - hence the manilla editor allows you to change certain functions, tabs, etc.
System config is just that, a nice pretty front end to registry tweaks for the phone.
Total commander is a decent replacement for the native file explorer, and does more too.
Most apps can be installed to internal storage - there are exceptions, especially if they tie closely into the OS (manilla, etc). As it stands though, you've only really got two choices on where to install, try internal storage first, if it doesnt work, try main memory.
Most PPC based applications are installed using a cab file - you copy this to the device, then just run it using file explorer to install. Some are windows installers that will automatically do the copy and run the cab for you.
And thats about it
Thanks very much for your reply. It's starting to make sense now
Further on to that, where is the best place to install the manilla editor, system config to

[$$DEV REQ$$} - Utility To Remove Today Prog Lines

NOTE -DOLLARS AVAILABLE TO ANY DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT
I am looking for a developer to write a small utility that will remove the black lines on a Today screen that surround/delineate each Today item. The attached picture should help people to understand what I mean (see where the RED arrows are pointing).
The end result should be that any item seen on the Today screen will not have these black lines, leading to a clean, seamless look.
I was certain there was a registry hack for this; however after 2 months of fruitless searching on here and requests in other threads I have not found what I am looking for.
So what's different this time? Well, I will now pay someone to create a utility programme to achieve what I am looking for.
Interested and able to help? Please PM me.
Many thanks
WB
There's already an application which removes them... I ... crap, can't remember what it is. i'll search for it and let you know unless someone beats me to to it.
Nir,
Thanks. look forward to seeing what you can find.
WB
same as my problème?

thanks advance
It's the utility to change the colors of the today screen, I can't remember either.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343335
i believe this is it.
hi this tool is awesome I didn't knew it, thanks for sharing
But it is not the tool asked, it is only to change the theme and the entire color of your phone
You could use Ultimate Launch. It doesn't display the lines between plugins.
It offers a few other perks too
All,
Many thanks for the various responses. I have used UI Tweaker several times to try to achieve what I want and while you can change the colour of the lines you can't entirely get rid of them.
As for Ultimate Launch, have also used that as an alternative UI but I don't like it I'm afraid.
The request is therefore still open for a developer to take me up on it unless someone comes up with an existing solution that does the job as I set out.
Appreciate the help so far.
WB
+1, I would be happy too if there is way to delete those lines
maybe i was wrong about UI Tweaker then.. because i KNOW there's an app to remove the lines.. i used one. i'll search again.
Nir 36,
Thanks in advance for looking. Hope you find the item. This has been a very long quest for me.

LOL you.. here? wahou
UI tweaker I try to but not work
yeh
I'm everywhere too ...
Still no idea guys... ?
Yeah. I originally asked here about this on XDA-Dev's about 3 or 4 years ago. The only response that I really received was that the lines are coded in to the shell32.exe or possible gwei.exe [sic]. I know that Wisbar Advance Desktop and a few other programs will remove the lines. However, those programs have a lot of other functions that some people may not want.
Here's my original post from '05.

I can't believe you made your request so long ago and are still waiting for a solution.
I agree with you that all that is required is a small utility to achieve this. Just looking for a talented developer on here to take this on. I am absolutely serious about paying someone to do this so its worth their while.
There are a fair few people who want this so its over to you guys, unless Nir36 finds the tool he says he knows of.
Thanks
WB
I'm sorry, i can't find it. I searched everywhere... so it's one of 2 things.
either i'm senile and i used UI Tweaker, or it's just... gone.
if i manage to find it sometime i'll post it.
I would be willing to give some $ to, If some one would like to make a app, for this.
Thanks T M Z
apparntly i got theme to be "transparent" because my background was black
You can achieve this, if you don't change theme too often and if your theme (TSK) file isn't with draws, with a tool like UI Tweaker from Victor Wong (http://mobile-sg.com), with the excellent ThemeGenCE (PC tools to modify the TSK file or with SKTools (in color tweaks)
Put the 'Today Screen horizontal Bar' at a very close color of your theme... The bars will be 'erased' (you won't see them...)
Hope this helps...

Newbie needs help "pimping" his diamond.

Good morning all.
Basically as the title says, I need help customizing my diamond. I've had it a while and am getting pretty bored of the same old TF3D home screen etc. I've looked over all your designs etc and they are pretty dam good.
I would like to customize mine but have absolutely no idea where to start, if any of you could give me an idea on where to start and what to install etc, that would be great.
Thanks to anyone who helps.
The search bar is ur bestest best friend. But to help out, any post with [THE] before it is theme-related, and [WALL] tends to be wallpapers. You can achieve virtually any look for your Diamond by combining different apps. Here's a good link to get you started:

Thanks for your help. I just wondered if there was additional software i needed or anything like that before i install these.

Yes, there might be a possibility that you ned this program.

It may help installing the themes.
there ain't nothing to it
but to do it
if all goes wrong, you can still hard reset your device
and start over
i started with manila editor to create my own custom slider bar and icons
and dl-ed some dll's for the taskbar and used someone elses clock from a forum
I started with installing A.Z.T.O.R.
got myself Manilla
Downloaded some nice themes etc.
atm i am looking for a program wich makes it posible to give all tabs in TF3D a nice background instead of just the Today screen
Easiest way I found was to get yourself some .cabs, easy install and uninstall.
Almost idiot proof! (well I worked them)
They're dotted around everywhere on these forums, just look in clocks, customizing taskbar, etc. threads....oh, and remember to thank the creator.
I started that way and now i'm getting to grips with the editors. Step-by-step

Noob here needing help

Im new to this forum, never done much messing about with smart phones I get by with pcs.
I got an x1i yesterday so far ive got TF3D working installed a couple of panels, xperia tweak. I installed diamond tf3d config and i keep getting an unexpected error when i try to open it. Everything else im relatively happy with. But at the moment im unable to change backgrounds or themes, if someone has the time i would really appreciate an idiots guide to changing themes and backgrounds on tf3d. And i mean idiots guide, I have looked for a guide but the one i found kept getting a 404.
So from start to finish if you have the time or patience thanks, any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance
Changing backgrounds in TF3d is easy, just go to the settings tab and hit wallpaper, then search for the pic you want on your phone and select it.
If your looking for wallpapers you can start with my thread HERE, these are all formated to fit TF3d nicely.
to get the background to show up in all tabs, I recommend using mun_rus's mUn background4allpages.cab There are also several applications out there for further modding your phones appearance, I suggest using the Forum's Search feature, your bound to find some useful info.
Thanks very much had tried 2 other background for all tabs apps, but none of them seemed to work. Thankyou
Does anyone have any idea why diamond config gets an error when starting?
or search for nixx-x1 post explaining how to create your own bckgrnd for all tabs

Issue With Icons In Main Menu

HI Team,
I am facing a very weird issue in my omnia 2 and would really be grateful if any of the experts here could help me sort this out. I have recently bought an omnia 2. In my Omnia 2 Samsung UI Main Menu Icons have lost their pics and i can see are the fonts. I was tweaking around with my phone when this stuff accidentally happened. On checking the phone it seems that i do have those icons and they work with any ui that i install but the pics of the icons just dont show up at all in the samsung UI main menu and in the others screen in that menu. If someone could help me rectify this without a flash it would really be great as I too want to know how do we rectify such issues on the phone.
Guys any help would be really appreciated. Even if someone can tell me where does the UI pick up the icons from it could be of great help

You dont have to flash. Create a backup with SPB backup to your storage card. Reset/Format and restore the backup.
You can spend more time explaining/trying or spend 1 hour and all is well.
See i will tell you whats the issue theoretically. In the registry there is a command given for the file which will show these icons. It might be missing there. All someone needs to help me is by telling me where is that string in the registry and what string should i replace it with. There are tons of expert modders out here who can help
