Can't change background and clock going haywire - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Hi guys
Ok, first of all - this is my first post. Woohooo. K now that that's out the way, lets get down to business.
Had a new slider and clock etc and then I saw XenRed (http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/) ... Decided to install it (using Diamond TF3D Config) and it works. But can't change the wallpaper. Tried using mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02 and then my clock just started ficking through numbers and sticks at 12:59. I Used Diamond TF3D Config to reset to defaults and I just can't get the wallpaper to work (I tried in Settings - Wallpaper and Start - Settings - Today - Use the Picture as the background).
I'm not a developer so I can't exactly go write my own manilla files or whatever. Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. If possible, I wanna have a different today wallpaper to every other one but wanna customise both. I came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508799
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&page=53
But I don't know how to edit Manilla files. Is there a CAB that will work that I don't know about? Thanks everybody

that background for all pages has some nasy effects on some versions of the tf3d especially modded versions, theres not much you can do apart from either unistall everything to do with the tf3d and re install tf3d or hard reset and start again

Weather for Neo Time Screen

There are some very interesting threads at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358952 and...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390841
about putting an updated Current Weather screen on the S2U2 screen. This technique should work for replacing the wallpaper on the Clock screen in Neo. Is anyone interested in adapting the Mortscript files to do this for Neo/Shadow?

I was thinking about the same thing. Can u make cab file to do a install?
I second that lol please
Make that three.
I have done some work on this and almost there... my mortscript is changing the wallpaper with feeds from Yahoo... making appropriate registry entries... i can see the automatic wallpaper change in My Faves screen... but to see the change in clock screen, either i have to restart my phone or need to reset the home screen to the same Default with Home option in All Settings.
I think i need to refresh the neo home screen after wallpaper change.
Do any of you have a mort script to refresh neo home?
got a solution and i m done with my work... i guess it works fine as of now... will upload the scripts and other files in a few days....

Okay so i installed HD manilla and it screwed me all up

after the install, it didnt work....fine, i'll revert back to normal
now it reverted back to TF3D with the generic TF backgrounds on all tabs except the home screen which has the ROMeOS2 background (which i want on all) and the clock is the white flip clock instead of teh black ROMeOS2 clock
anyone have any tips on how to correct this? i've tried browing through the diamond tweak and TF3d config tool and cant find anything

First HD manila is pretty much the same as touchflo but with an extra stock tab. Second in order to get HD manila working you have to install the HD boot loader, to get it working without this you have to "tab here to launch touchflo" then goto settings and open the keyboard, wait till manila launches (keep in mind after every soft reset these instructions are required unless you install the boot loader)
Finally background on all tabs with different home tab is installed,.

Clock link problem

Hello,
I have a little problem, if I click on the clock on the home panel of Touchflo tf3d is just restarting instead of showing the clock & alarm settings.
Anyone knows how to change that link ?
I'm using EnergyRom 3.0 with TouchFlo3D2 Rhodium.
I have the same problem - anyone know what is going on?
Bump...anyone - Bueller.......Buelller......................Bueller?
I have no direct solution.. but.. do you restore your PIM(conacts, messages, calendar, tasks) with SKTools (Backup) ?
I have the same problem too. When I used TF Detacher, this took me to the today screen which I liked. However, I have since uninstalled this programme and use Second Today instead. I would like to assign the clock on TF to go to the Second Today screen if this is possible. I know someone may suggest SMPAHO (or something like that) but I never really understood that programme!!!!
This actually happens for me either when
A) I install a cooked ROM with a custom clock - i.e. Deep Shining or NRGRom
b) I use Manilla Customizer to change the clock on either a clean cooked rom or an offical rom.
This appears to be a problem with the way the custom clocks are compiled.

Iolite M2DC Problems

Hi All,
Firstly, please go easy on me, I'm new to windows mobile.
I am having issues with my O2 Touch Cruise, I have M2D installed and M2DC and have tried a number of backgrounds but all I ever see is the blue background to the home screen. Has anyone got any ideas? Everything else changes and the background to all other tabs changes, just not the home screen.
Any ideas, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. I've looked at hh_fw_background.png in the windows directory and this image is the correct wallpaper.
Many thanks.
Mark
You should be able to change this under "Settings", "Personal", "Today". There you can select and click a picture as background. Try to use it!
Another solution would be to use M2DC for changing the order of your applications, fonts and styles.
In M2DC go to Background tab clear the path first and then use the three dot button to go to the location where your new background 'png' is located and use it as the new background.(The background photo must be in png format).
Thanks,
I now have a nice looking home screen

Using HDWall + MaxManila Together

I've been reading the forum for 3 days so sorry if this is covered somewhere, I can't find it.
I'm trying to use a full screen HDWall wallpaper (taskbar + softkeys skinned) with MaxManila.
I have made the wallpaper without any problems and it looks good when installed but when I install MaxManila afterwards, I lose the wallpaper?? The top and bottom bars stay skinned, but the main wallpaper is gone and I can't get it back??
I've tried installing MaxManila first then the wallpaper, I'm using the correct HQwallpaper patch, I'm selecting "D" in Maxmanila wallpaper settings, tried setting it from Menu, Settings etc?
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or can offer any help?
I'm on stock HTC 1.66 ROM with 2.5.1921 Manila
Thanks in advance.
Errrm youre supposed to install max manilla first and also which version of max manilla are you using? 2.7 or 2.7 SE ?
for 2.7 here: Default - this is the manila wallpaper that requires app like HDWall to create. Rather than using the latest file of 512x1024, I have reworked a fullscreen default wallpaper using the old filenames. If you are using HDWall, go to config and select profile "TouchFLO v2.5 BETA - No Compression - All Tabs".
* 4bfcbbee_manila
* 54612042_manila
for 2.7 SE:In the home tab just press menu/Home Walpaper/Portrait Wallpaper, To select ur wallpaper for all tabs. Note that sometimes the wallpaper doesnt set as there may be a bug so just keep trying to select the wallpaper till it appears and it it still doesnt appear just select remove wallpaper and continue trying to set ur wallpaper again .You also dont have to uninstall HDwall i think since you do want to have your taskbar and softkeys skin remain.
I have HDWall and max manilla 2.7 SE running on my HD2 without much problems
I also assume you're running just max manilla 2.7 since u could select the D option while 2.7 SE is locked to B
Thanks for your answer mate.
This morning I have MaxManila 2.7 SE installed, so I have installed HDwalls on phone, used HDWall on PC to make my cab. Tried first with Config set as you suggested "TouchFLO v2.5 BETA - No Compression - All Tabs" - installed cab and reset - top + bottom skinned but nothing else. Wallpaper not showing in menu/Home Walpaper/Portrait Wallpaper??
Tried again using config set to "HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression", installed cab, reset. Top + bottom skinned only, wallpaper showing now in menu/Home Walpaper/Portrait Wallpaper but tried to select 10+ times and always just black screen with top and bottom skinned?
yeah thats the bug with 2.7SE ... they said if u keep selecting the wallpaper it would eventually appear .... the creator of max manila is still working on fixing that .... well you should just use 2.7 not 2.7 SE for now ... that way the "TouchFLO v2.5 BETA - No Compression - All Tabs" cab should work
