Vodafone have branded the TF3D red.... has anyone got the generic in a .cab form so we can escape the carrier colours. This would be really helpful (it was done for the TP1). If the neon one has been donw, can you make the origional?

Suppose I could have a look at this for you. Is it just the front screen or is it the All Contacts and other screens too?
It would be great if you could create a cab to clear all of the Vodafone branding.
I had a go at changing it last night when I got home from the pub and ended up with black text on a slightly less black background. Had to hard reset it
yeh i second that... the vodafone branding makes it difficult to use a darker background...i had a got at changing it with manila editor but am having great difficulties doing it...also got exams in a week! worst time to get a new phone!
vodafone did the lot.... unlike other operators
Ok, I've tested the default on my friends Vodafone TP2 but it doesn't look right with the font. Need to work out how to change the font which isn't going to be easy!
i, and many others, are and will be very grateful, anything to escape voda branding to this extent

hi, I'm Ed, and ive got a big problem with my htc touch 3g, and i think its time to sort it out. Okay, my touch 3g is on orange (contract) and obviously i wanted the original touchflo 2d on it (Black and Blue-ish kind of theme) but, instead it gave me two crap choices of ORANGE BRANDED themes, the really awfull orange(TM) homescreen theme, or just a wierd black-on-white version of touchflo 2d. I chose the wierd touchflo, but honestly, i dont want either. I just want atleast the ORIGINAL M2D THEME, or the choice for others. Ive been trying to resolve this problem by using numerous options, ive downloaded Manilla 2D customizer, downloaded soo many themes (atleast 7 now) and none of them work, there is alway some problem with it, Ive tried nearly every recomended option. All I want, is to be able to just have a normal htc touch 3g software on it with a normal touchflo on it. I REALLY want to get rid of this orange(TM) branded stuff on it, (including that stupid 'unique manager') on it. Please, is there anybody that understands my problem, and can give me a step-by-step guide on how to do it. Please reply (PLEASE)
Hi Ed,
Though i don't have an Orange brand Jade i understand your problem; there are several threads on this forum about it.
If you really wanna get rid of all the orange stuff, there's no other choice i guess then to unlock your phone (which is not sim unlock) using HardSPL s you can flash another ROM.
Put on your reading glasses and start over here:

and here:

which is almost a step by step instruction.
hope it works out for ya

Out of curiosity, how different is Orange TF from the default TF (the blue background). Are the tabs different, what else is different. Any screen shot ? (Need to understand the situation before offering useful assistance)
There are two options for TF with orange customers. One is basicaly the normal Touch Flo with orange's background on the home page, and a few different tabs (an "Orange World" on and a few others missing, Google Maps at least iirc). The other is one similar to other, older Orange phones, with a shortcut menu on the home screen, which I hate and so didn't actualy use and cant tell you much about.
Ed, if you just want the normal touchflo I definatly saw an option to change it before i flashed mine, I think it was a program in the Start > Programs screen just called "Change Orange Screen" or something similar.
the main reason i unlocked the phone (HSPL) and flashed the WM6.5 overloaded ROM was to get away from the Orange crap too!
They have seriously messed with the network/internet side of things... i was horrified to see i could not connect to the interent with Wifi... i managed to get it to do it... but it took some messing about and its a case of forcing it.. and it not really liking it!
with this overloaded rom and the touch flow running (instead of windows default like i did have lol) i think its great! Its really built around Wifi and then using Hspda or what ever it is as a second option if wifi's not available! well worth re-flashing too!
i just want to know how i change the order of the icons at the bottom... messages, email, footprint etc
dont really see what foot print is tbh haha!
Do a hard reset then soft reset before the phone can customize. All the orange stuff is loaded after the main hard reset

This is the crucial bit, and still seems to be working
http://www.planete-htc.com/index.php?mod=forum&ac=voir&id=20612&debut=20&cat=237
It is in French but the gist of it is, when installing DO NOT let your screen turn off!!! and it takes AGES to install, about 20-30 minutes.
Once it is installed, reboot and you have the default HTC black theme, with white fonts. You can then install any theme you want without CFC compression

Have put the touch of blue theme on and its just what i wanted.
Might get into the whole theme building when i understand the phone more

I've tried this and it works great. The only thing you loose is the TF3D 2.1 Facebook integration that was on the Vodafone UK version.
I've installed the black cab and the touch of blue theme, along with the manilla today page, so pretty happy.
Is there a way to bring back the facebook intergration with the contacts on the vodafone TP2, as I quite enjoyed the updates to my contacts pictures.
Over on the topaz section there's a facebook intergration thread with fixes, could this work on ours, I might give it a try and see
This worked for me

I think like the rest of you, we just don't know when or if Vodafone will release 6.5 for our TP2's.
Therefore, carrying on from my other thread where I was prepared to pay £100 to someone who could sort out a cab file for the OEM Manila 2.1 for my phone, I have sorted this out myself.
I won't go into great detail, but suffice to say that it took me all weekend to go through what files were needed and what wasn't.
So with out further a do, attached is my effort. Be aware, it is 33.9mb uncompressed. I suggest that you hard reset your device before installing this although not necessary. I would also suggest that you do not let the device go into sleep mode, un-check all the options in the battery power saving. It takes a good 10 minutes to install as there are 2236 files.
This version is 2.1 and includes the facebook integration, which does work. The cities on the weather tab are the standard, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff and Edinburgh. I have also included the Slide to wake mode for the hardware keyboard.
I have also included HTC's standard black *.tsk file so that if you want, all the icon selection colours will be green. I have left these alone on the vodafone tsk as I don't mind the blue.
The comm manager switches are now the correct colour highlight focus, all "buttons" are green with the exception of the active sync connection page which is the original black.

Hey Allen... I went to the Voda store yesterday and the kind lady told me that 6.5 should be releasing by next month of not within this month!
Not much of a specific date but hey atleast they are releasing the new versions pretty quick! Hopefully they have not bothered to tweak it with their Red themes!

Effectively yes. I extracted all the files from the latest WWE ROM which contained Manila 2.1 like ours.
Hopefully I will be able to do this with 2.5 but it depends how VF have bastardised it.

Interesting, HTC list the following VF ROM on their site so do we know if it's revised?
RUU_Rhodium_Vodafone_UK_1.14.161.6_R1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
They also list the following ROM 5.10.161.1 - allegedly for VF UK but my serial number doesn't work for that.
This is from Vodafone Turkey.....so I think the UK will get the same rubbish !!!
I think the Vodafone people are color blind why on earth is it red...YUK YUK and YUK !!!

The first one is just the one VF posted on their site around a month earlier, exact same. The bottom one is for a Touch Pro?
Can this manila 2.1 work on say... an at&t tilt 2 (touch pro 2) And does it include the weather clock?
i'm really not seeing why you wouldnt just HARDspl and flash a stock or cooked rom from one of the mithelin star chefs on here.

It should work, but it may not work correctly as this was made specifically for the vodafone ROM.

Because it's not something that I wanted to do, "horses for courses". Besides, it has given me an insight as to how it all bolts together. It also gives anyone else who doesn't want to change ROM's an alternative to the VF rubbish.

i have to agree with drawflex, just HARDspl and use a new ROM, ive done this for the first time today and belive me a whole lot better than messing with this or that file, i have faith in you..lol
is there anyway i can just get the slider out of this?
I had the European Version of the HTC Touch Pro 2 and now it's not working. I have T-Mobile in the US and found a good black friday deal so now I can have 3G. The phone is a bit different than the EU version (looks worse physically) the theme is similar but I like my original HTC Black Theme from the EU version. Does anyone have that theme? I also have an HTC Touch Pro EU version, but not sure if that theme will work with the Touch Pro 2. (Plus it's still a bit different anyway)
Basically if I can get the original HTC Touch Pro 2 .tsk that would be great.
Also where do these files go?
Thanks in advance.

Sweet! Thanks so much. I appreciate this. I will try it out and report back.
Thanks again.
I've got the original slider (black & white icons// EU stock) made for sense 2.1.. works perfectly. If needed i have it in a cab
i would like to have the original slider from 6.1.. thanks

Thanks for the theme. Unfortunately nothing changed. It's weird. I thought it should work being that everything looks the same except that the US version has a bit more gray. (Not as black as the EU version. I got the them to show up and select it and nothing changes. When I select the other defaults the slider and everything changes. Also I'm not sure if the clock changes with the theme. The clock on the T-Mobile version is inverted. White numbers on black background. I like the black numbers on white background. Oh well. Thanks anyway.

Sounds like you are going down the right path. Now that you have the phone unlocked you just have to find a rom that you like. Sounds like you loaded a stock vodafone rom if at all, hard to tell. One thing to be aware of is if the phone is cdma or gsm. Once you find a rom you like it will make all the difference in the world and most of the roms are in wwe(english). Hope this helps!
You have posted in the wrong section. You should go to the Diamond forums and ask there.
egzthunder1 is completely right here!
Ah, well..., IMO there's a difference between 'looking for' and 'searching'.. And in due time one 'll learn...
Voda when it starts?
SIM = Voda-phone? Well IMO if that's your provider, you'll see their 'message'. If you want something else; change provider soon
Your device starts in French and you wanna change it? Goto this thread BsB Tweaks ;
