Paulya Phone Skins and HTC Universal
I have tried the skins from paulya.com on a Universal with ROM as below.
They do NOT work. I have attempted to modify the graphics of Pauly's very nice skins for my own use, this is possible and you can make the appearance on the screen appear normal at the corrected pixels per inch size, however, the underlying .dll that controls the layout of the touch screen that comes bundled does not ammend the touch responses correctly (as an example: in portrait mode the graphics for SPEED DIAL, HISTORY and TALK remain horiozontal above the number pad, whereas the .dll expects to find them in a vertical list to the right of the dialpad. If you have the time and the skills there are instructions on several forums (including this one) for editing the relevant dynamic link libraries.
The only skin I have found so far that works (as downloaded, out of the box, so to speak) on this device with its current ROM is O2's XDA Exec skin (or one made for it by a third party) which is attached to this post. This skin however consumes 2mb of storage for a minor change in appearance (transparent in place of solid graphics). I have deleted it.
Incidentally I have paulya's Vista phone skin on my HTC Himalaya. It is beautiful graphic work and makes the device very usable with one hand no pointer required. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
CORRECTION:
Further effort shows that the underlying .dll bundled with paulya's eten skins does amend the touchpad on the screen correctly. (i.e. you get the result you would expect by tapping on the screen, but the graphics will not display correctly even when they are resized to 192 pixels per inch. I would imagine there is only a small effort required to get from here to something that works but I do not know how to do that.

Hey i didnt get it right... the vista skin does it work on exec.... i suppose not.... please can u upload any working skin for exec.. i have been looking for the same for quite some time but the search is futile.... else upload the 2 mb skin u mentioned about... i m ready to sacrifice 2 mb for a good looking dial pad skin... thanx

PaulyA.com is no longer. For those of you who are still interested I have moved all my projects to JPL4Designs.com. The old site got robbed while I slept on it.. Mods, if you please update my links on the forums I would greatly appreciate it. Google is picking them off XDA-Dev and others rating the old site high. Thanks so much.

Manila 3d on Touch?

Hi folks,
i saw some threads in the development section for manila 2d (which really looks cool). I'm wondering if this works on my HTC Touch!? I'm also not sure if there is a cab install version available - or is a rom flash needed (don't want to do that again...)
has anybody already some experiance with manila 2d?
thanks for any information!

you'll notice that there's a thread a few posts down with the Title "touchFLO 2D on ELF" this is the same thing as Manila 2D. It's a simple cab install and works just fine.

Just try it you will love it.

Looks good, but it doesn't work as it should. On my Elfin Audio Mgr 2 doesn't start, system runs veeery slowly even after uninstalling TF2D (hard reset helps) and cable is causing system freeze :/

just tried it and it really looks cool! It works without any problems...
Sad thing is, that its not working together with any other today plugins...

Touchflow 3D
I also have some problems with this panel, after I installed it to my Xperia I have serious problems, it's look great but it's very slow and after open a few other panels my phone just block, I've to reset the Xperia and then I can go on, so I deside to uninstall it but now way it stay's, and after looking in my installed programms it is gone??? I can't uninstall it and I suppose that the only sollution could be a factory restore. I'ts a pitty it don't work like it should be cause I find it a great interface so if anyone could give us some advise they're welcome. I did install the second little program tf3d_panel but even that bring it to full speed and error free

Atharia,
Just as nobody has replied and I don't want you to be left in the dark
Have you checked anything in the blackstone forum? That would be a more appropriate place for you to be searching. I understand you may have search for HTC Touch, and that would probabaly be why you came here.
On the other hand though, I think you're phone may actually come with what had been ported to this phone - don't quote me on that but I am sure that it had touchflo as standard?

Anyone Porting Panels to the Touch HD?

Hi
I see the TF3D from the Touch Hd has been cab'd and is running on the X1 (mine included)... but has anyone (point me if i'm being blind) started to port the X1 panels ready for the Touch HD>??
That would be funky!!!

come on guys... someone must have thought about it...
I got a X1 that i can dump from ... but just needs a chef to 'massage' it into a touch HD .. screen and res is the same.. made by the same.. so should be easy/easier???

Porting the panels to a TouchHD would be a lot different than importing TF3D to an X1. TF3D is just a today screen shell/plugin. The panel interface doesn't do that..you would literally need to dump and install the entire X1 rom onto a touch HD and replace whats there now.

Nope, not correct.
Why its "easier" with tf3d is because HTC is making the roms with packages now, rather then dump it all in OEMAPPS etc...
The panel can be extracted as well, but thats not a task im gonna do..Im rather gonna remove it totally when I get a fully working kitchen, hard-spl etcetc..

[Q] Got new Touch HD - Now what?

Hello to all,
I took the plunge today and despite being very very tempted at getting myself an iphone 3g I decided to get myself a Touch HD. Been spending a few days reading about the Touch HD and it sounds great. Must say I love the look and feel of it, although it's a little on the wide side for my hand.
This is my first WinMo ever and I'm very lost at what to do. I like to tweak and around a mess with my windows installation on my pc, but I just don't know where to start with the Touch HD.
It may sound kind of stupid, but I decided that what's probably best for me is to start this thread (of course after having done a search to see that no other similar thread already exist) and to ask you guys to share some of the things that you first did to your Touch HD when you got it. ie. What are the first few things to do to improve/enhance the experience with the phone.
Thank you all in advance and looking forward to your replies.
PS. English isn't my first language so I apologize if I'm being unclear or if I'm being repetitive.

Grats on the purchase. Where did you buy it from?
That's some fine English for it not being your first language.

Hi, I'm in the same boat as you, although I've had my HD for a few days now. I'm just getting to grips with it, and am now at the point where I feel like I should play around with ROMs. Haven't a clue where to start though, but have had a good read of the wiki.
Good luck with it, and enjoy it.

Welcome to HD world !
Here is my list of applications: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3117017&highlight=secondtoday#post3117017
As a long-term PocketBreeze user (I assume you know about Today Plugins?) I found the restriction of TF3D to be irritating. If you don't know, TF3D will not allow any other today plugins to run.
But, SecondToday is great - this gives you a second today screen on which you can run any number of plugins.
Also, for me a big help, is AEB+ for mapping buttons.
I also have lots of tweaks to the TF3D setup - see the app list in the thread above.
Good luck and enjoy !

Take a look at the apps and themes forum.
That's a good place to start at...

Got my Touch HD ~a week ago, my second Win Mo device.
First I would recommend installing a different rom, I went with Duttys 1.7 rom, my HD got a nice performance boost, the Wiki here explains how to do this.
After that I configured all the settings to my liking.
Installed all HTC Fixes.
Then I browsed the Themes and software forum for the blackstone, after awhile I have these installed on my HD:
- HD Tweak (a must have with the HD imo, customize the HD even further and access lots of other tweaks)
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (pretty much the same as above^)
- Diamond D3D driver (speed up the graphics for the HD)
- Diamond Saber (fun wnb-a-jedi lightsaber software)
- FInixNOverBatteryIcon (Replace the original battery icon with a color changing one and showing the load %)
- Gyrator 2 (rotate the screen when you rotate your HD)
- IPC Black Dialer (black phone application theme)
- IPC black Calculator (black calc theme)
- MyLostBlog MyStopWatch (great stopwatch software)
- Navigon 7 (GPS navigation)
- Tnyynt SD TuneUP (make the HD faster, can't remember how though )
- TouchResponse (vibrates the HD everytime you touch the screen, very useful)
- Weather Database Editor (add your own city to the weather tab)
+ some theme customization and such
Noticed also some great apps in other posts here, thanks for the tips

Wow this forum is certainly very active and helpful.
Thank you guys so much, I'm going to start working on my HD later tonight after I finish work (yeah it's a Sunday and I still have to work )
@ModernMuseum I'm from Lao PDR and I bought it here in Laos, though from the looks of it I think the phone is actually from Italy or something since the user manual is in Italian (or so it seems) and no English manual at all.
PS. any further comments/suggestions/sharing of experience are still welcome

Please can you give me the link for wiki on how to install duttys 1.7 rom? Will I lose everything that's installed on my HTC HD if I install a new rom?
Also, do you only ever install 1 rom at a time, or can you have more than one? Sorry if that's a really stupid question...
Thank you.

Yes you will lose all your data, only 1 rom can be installed at a time.
These should get you going:

Check out the list of ROMs available if you want something other than Dutty's ROM . There are many to choose from. Also before you do any modifications, install HSPL or USPL if you want to do any ROM flashing, since you can flash as many times as you want, but not have more than one ROM on.

touch flow 3d update cab file

havnt seen this one yet... but for u admins are u guys going to make an update to get the new tf3d like on the new touch pro 2 ?
didnt see this yet so am sorry if there is one out...

anyone there to make a new manila 3 cab???
i was looking for that also...i know that touch pro users can find a manila cab, but i could not find anyone making cab with manila 3 for touch hd... .
not everyone want or can install new rom to be able to use new manila....is there anyone who could prepare new manila 3 cab????

you'll find the new manila is useless without an updated rom, mate

you do not need an updated ROM for the porting of the Touch Pro. It runs on 19xxx version of Windows in fact. Some additional add-ons (like enhanced notifications and menus) don't work but those are not a part of TF3D itself.

cool thanks for the heads up mate

That's VGA not WVGA so it wont fit the screen on the Touch HD.

Cab for the new calendar?
Hi,
I have got a Touch HD and I am happy with it. The only thing that bothers me, is the Windows mobile calendar. I saw that on the new TFD 2.5 the calendar has improved significantly. Great optic and no WM even when adding an appointment! That is what I was waiting for!! I really want this calendar!! I never modified anything on my device as I am scared to screw up my Touch HD! Is there a possibility to get a cab with the new calendar on the "old" Touch HD TFD? My version should be the 1.3.353...
Please help me... Sorry if it is a impossible thing to ask...
Thanx!

Hi,
Same for me... meaning I'm a noob in this topic and I would like to understand a bit about TF3D because I have seen in several post that there are other versions (2.5....)
My HD has 1.3.35601.1_1630.38 version of TF3D.
Is there any interest for me to upgrade? I have not found a clear explanation of what the new versions are offering...

Your currently using manila 1.3. The latest manila versions have a better/smoother, more finger friendly interface with additional options & displays (i.e. weather displayed on home tab below clock to name one). Also manila 2.0+ has landscape enabled so you can view all tabs in landscape mode as well as portrait

Thanks,
So is there any way to easily update to 2.0? I'm not used to make modifications so I'm affraid to put the mess in my HD ...

I haven't seen a way yet on the HD to update to another version of manila without having to flash a new rom. Its possible on other devices to port to another manila, but as I said, I haven't seen this avilable yet on the HD
