Hehe, yeah, dutch it is.
The problem is that the normal download uses a compression method to decrease the file size up to 90% (see cab size difference), which makes manila faster. Thing is, manila needs to be patched for it to work. Look up Chainfire's Compression for more information.

It should work with a branded ROM as well, unless completely new manila files have been added (which I think is unlikely).
I've just tried it on my Vodafone branded Pro2, and all works well except when you stop on any tab, the background goes black so you can't see anything much.
The transitions between tabs is so great - I hope this can be made to work fully. Great work, thanks!

Do I understand correctly that the background (as in the screenshots) only shows while scrolling, but not while actually inside a tab?
I'll relay this information to Rotastrain (the creator of the panoramic background mode9 file) so it can be looked into.

I have got a HTC one... so can't tell how it works on the branded one. I had to use the compability cab anyway.
on my Voda branded one the compatibility cab works fine apart from some of the fonts stay black. The calendar tab is particularly bad and a white font & lines would have been better.
Great theme tho!

Yeah, that's what I've been experiencing. It seems it's the same issue Stunno is having, as with a light background (which I believe it's supposed to be) the black fonts would be suitable.
Will be fantastic to have this to replace the Vodafone theme once it's fully functional, thanks again!
I should clarify my post as it was done in a rush this morning.
The theme is FULLY functional. The background scrolls beautifully from tab to tab (OK there is a slight glitch in that there is a thin black line down the settings tab about 3/4 of the way across and a light one half way across the calendar tab)
My problem is the font colour in some of the tabs. Which is more of a layout problem than a theme problem. In particular
The People tab perfect apart from the phone number is in black over a dark part og the background - but no biggy because who needs this anyway I've only included for completeness
The Calendar tab has black text and lines on a predominantly dark background
The Music tab ditto
the Internet tab ditto
Having said all of that, and I hope it didn't come across as whinging because it wasn't meant to, I am keeping it on as it is a HUGE improvement on the VF one!

Yes, CFC compressed files work better. The compatibility pack is not compressed, like TF3D is normally. So, for a performance increase, I recommend patching your manila, using CFC GUI 0.55.

Alright. I'm willing to improve based on feedback. I do however, need screenshots for clarification. The reason is that - although you did a very good attempt at clarifying - I can still interpret your problems in differing ways.
So, please post some screenshots and I'll look into it.
The vertical lines in the background are a TF3D problem, we can't get rid of it - yet. (TF3D doesn't like sticking pictures to eachother(
I've attached screenshots of what I'm experiencing.
Screenshot 1: What I have when TF3D first loads - perfect!
Screenshot 2: Once I touch the screen however, the background goes black
Screenshot 3: When choosing between tabs, the background goes to the photo again
Screenshot 4: Then when I stop on a tab, the background goes black again - very nice!
Thanks so much - this will be so good compared to the default Vodafone theme!

Being both a WM and HTC n00b since a few weeks ago, could you fill me in a little bit how to go about this? The performance is definitely not bad, pretty smooth actually but it can always be better

Alright, that is indeed what I understood to be the problem. Thanks for the example, it'll be forwarded to be fixed. I'll probably release a seperate Touch Pro 2 version to be sure.

I understand that it might seem intimidating if you're new to WM and HTC. I can also understand that you'd love to have all the best fixes and stuff. Do take into account though, that it takes some time and a lot of reading to really get a grasp of how everything works and is integrated.
Patching manila, however, is - luckily for you - made simple by Chainfire. Read his thread here.
Good luck!

Woohoo!! I did the did the CFC patch and reinstalled your CFC theme, you guys are awesome!
So the CFC patch is confirmed to work on the TP2 too
It definitely is overwhelming but with these beautiful apps made by you guys and good descriptions even a n00b like me can pull it off!! Cheers for that :beerchug:
Just one tiny remark; I noticed the stock icon is not embossed like the rest of the icons when selecting stock from TF3D, see pic. No biggy but I thought I'd mention it...

Hi
My Vario has had the original Windows Mobile Today screen installed on it, but only the blue one which is a bit boring.
I can see the green version being displayed in Microsoft adverts for Windows Mobile devices, but I can't find it anywhere.
If anybody's got it, could you send it or upload it to the server?
Thanks!
You mean the green one on this page...?
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/themes.mspx
well, thats not really the one they are putting on adverts....
someone has to make it i think?
I can make it. Care to show me where is this advertisement?
I too am looking for this -- looks like we both have good taste!
You can see an example at www.windowsmobile.co.uk, but no offence it would be best to have the original version. Having a copy just doesn't feel authentic enough. Someone with these newer devices must have the appropriate .tsk file in their /windows folder? :shock:
PS: Here's an even closer look!:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...px?module=deviceDisplay;PPCPhone;americas;241
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmob...y.aspx?module=deviceDisplay;PPCPhone;emea;218
Hmm. . the greenish colour is difficult to reproduce and the details of the sample is waaaay too small to make any sense out of them. Further, it is weird that all of the model shown on the screen are different from each other?
My own mock of it
....just make ur own? simply run photoshop's eyedrop over the green to get the correct shade...
then load a theme maker and change the hue and stuff
hanmin, your mock of it looks very nice! any possibility you could share it with us?

This is great
But... oh no It doesn't work in landscape mode. The edge is cut off and there is only darkness :twisted: Any way to fix that do we think?
I hear there is a TSK almost identical to the WM5 marketing one, included in SPB Pocket Plus. Anyone happen to have a copy lying around who is able to upload the TSK file?

Attachment removed due to apparent corruption
Now that is interesting. It seems to be the exact wallpaper background that MS have used, only the one you attached has a blue version of the wallpaper
Microsoft's:
Notice when you install the SPB one how it has those little lines in the background. Now if only someone had the actual green version :shock:
I found this one on a website and edited somethings myself. It's nice and green but it does have a slightly different background. Rename the .doc to .tsk!
I created this green one from the original blue one. (3 included slightly diff shades - I think wm_green3 is the best)
Also enclosed is a hacked spb one that works now.
p.s. I don't just do black themes :wink: wm_black available if anybody wants.
pps if anybody wants the wm green one a bit darker or lighter just say and it will be done.
Lovely stuff!
As we are into green just found this theme and it rocks!! (qvga and vga landscape included)

Hey there, you know that mightn't be a bad idea, if you have the time and willpower?
Here's the current difference:
It seems the original one is a little darker/duller, and less bright. Reduce brightness and contrast perhaps?
Give it a shot - no problem :wink:
After a strange sync session all my file in phone memory disappeared, including all my notes.
My system is fine, and the nothing was important on the note. However I do miss the included rainbow colored bubbles for my wallpaper. Call me old fashioned but I just like the ones included with the phone.
Anybody got back uped ones can e-mail me?
Please PM me and I'll send you my e-mail!
Thanks!
Which one of these ??
PS: I converted from png to jpg to reduce size

Nope, it's rotating. I find the bouncy one a tad too childish. But that's just my taste.

oki, will try it out then
The white boarder of the bouncing icon isnt closing up with the edge as in the rotating icon, looks not so good on white background.
I tested it and imo it looks fine.
If more people complain I'll consider changing it. But I can't just keep meeting every request that's posted. (I'll treat that as a request, as else it's just a negative remark.)
You rock man!!
I installed the bouncy version, and I have a few issues.
1) My volume icon is still stock.
2) I think I have the 1% bug; battery shows 59% when S2U2 shows 60%.

That is really strange, for it's not the 1% bug (which shows 51%, 61% etc.), you've got the 1% bug backwards. xD
What ROM are you using? I'm starting to think it has something to do with that.
Also, as the volume icon is still "stock", chances are that it didn't install correctly.

Dont get me wrong..i'm glad i dont have to compile this thing myself. And its just a minor cosmetic issue.
But in direct comparison with the non bouncy icon the bouncing has a black line on its outer border on the left and bottom end, wich looks unprofessional on white, while the non bouncing icons border is perfect.
Angelusz, this looks really good, great work!
Whilst I know it's unreasonable to ask you to customise for everyone's individual taste, could you do a base cab that enables the icons to be used, and then a zip folder with the icons we can copy across as required?
Or does it just not work like that?
For example I would prefer not to have the SE icon (as I'd like to also use it on my Diamond), and also don't want the battery icon (as I use Ariel battery).
Again, great work, thank you for putting it together and sharing!

I'll consider it, but it takes a considerable amount of time to change it every time. I'm not getting paid for this or anything, and there's enough other things I must (and want to) spend time on.

The images are stored in .dll files. These need to be unsigned, edited and then resigned before they can be used. There's absolutely no way of doing what you ask.
Ahhh... ok, understand now.
Thanks for the feedback Angelusz, I might have to just go for it and install it anyway as the icons do look really smart!
The "OMG, I can't believe this actually worked on my T-Mobile USA HD2!" Discussion.
So, quite recently on Twitter, I've been informing my followers of things I've tried, managed to accomplish, and/or various ideas on tweaks that I'd like to attempt in the future.
Now, with that in mind...
I'd like to present this thread as an open-discussion topic, to further the common knowledge of everyday users and "1337 h4xz0Rz" alike.
Please, feel free to share a "success story" of something you've managed to make possible on your HD2. Whether it be a registry tweak, theme, custom ROM, or various modifications... be sure to offer as much detailed information as you can, allowing other users to perhaps share in the same experiences.
More-or-less, this is where TESTS, TRIAL-RUNS, and COST/BENEFIT ANALYSIS will meet in terms of what CAN and simply CANNOT be done... SAFELY on our devices.
hmm well it wasn't very "1337" but I was pretty happy that I could edit the registry to make TouchTwit blink the LED when I get mentions/msgs.

1) Open registry editor
2) Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
3) There will be a lot of GUID entry folders. Find the one that corresponds to the notification you want to alter. When you open the folder, the (Default) value, if set, is the name of the notification that corresponds to the control panel value.
4) Change AvailableOptions from 11 to 15
5) Hit start->settings->Sounds & Notifications->Notifcations
6) Scroll to the notification type you just changed (for me, "TouchTwit: Mentions")
7) The box "flash light for [x]" will no longer be greyed out
Great find. Definitely worth mentioning. This is the kind of stuff we need on here. Thanks for the submission.
reignzone- I would like to know if it is possible to increase the vibe alert intensity on the TmoUS HD2? I did a search and was not able to find anything. I switched from a Razr V3 which had a strong vibe alert. Also, I successfully flashed to HSPL2 and just waiting for a stock rom to flash new rom. Thanks
Can anyone walk me through dumping my stock TmoUS rom so I can post it here which will provide everyone a way to revert to shipped rom?

Well, in terms of vibration intensity... that is usually application specific. The system vibration alerts cannot really be tampered with as far as I know. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. There are applications, "modded" applications that provide various system tweaks that can alter the vibration... but not too many of them are focused on something so "simple" as vibrating alerts.
As for a system dump, that would be excellent. Post in a few other threads in this area, and I'm sure you'll find people that would be glad to assist you in providing that for us all.

Good stuff guys. Again, thanks for additional feedback.
As for Dusk, yes... I've taken quite a few bits and pieces from that theme and used it on my STOCK build. For instance, the retractable slider themed with Dusk features.
I'm so glad we're finally moving this T-Mobile USA forum along now, it needs more attention from the EURO threads.

I don't mean to toot my own horn here, but I just installed and tested quite literally, every transparent home tab slider from the guys at PPCMods.
And needless to say, each one of them worked, flawlessly. Also, they all look just gorgeous. But after testing "the look" of most all of them... I fell in love with the Colorful Stickers icons. Simple, HUGE, and great design.
Finally, the clock fonts are phenomenal as well... check those out too.

any screenshots?
If you're anything like me, you're able to appreciate precision...
Such as alignment, things being linear... or perhaps something just fitting on-screen, rather than causing obscure transparent affects on what is (by default) an otherwise beautifully designed, perfectly matched lock screen.
Now, after having said all of that... I'm sure most of you are wondering what I was just rambling about. Well, if you haven't discovered this already... then I suppose I'll elaborate. Once you have applied a lock screen wallpaper, it is then automatically rendered to fit the screen resolution of, "480x800"... which in turn causes your wallpaper quality to typically be compromised if the resolution isn't already EXACTLY that!
Also, you'll noticed that your "curtains" become faded and transparent. Which again, for someone like myself... I do NOT enjoy looking at my wallpapers through "curtains" or "slivers of glass".

Awesome, thanks man!! I'm still trying to learn why this is an issue on the HD2 as opposed to other 480x800 hardware, like my TP2, but it's great to see that people are finding ways around it
I noticed that at least one of the wallpapers you found and modified there (color flames) is one that I'd also stumbled across and cabbed up for the TP2 using HDWalls. I've got a dozen or so others of various styles that you're welcome to check out and work the same magic on if you're interested...some are in the same vein as the ones you have there, others are completely different, but I thought you might enjoy some or at least find them worth converting like you did the ones you posted above.

I came across eseth.net they have a lot of high quality wallpapers customly designed for the HD2. I even used one of the ones I downloaded to make my girl some tigger walls for her phone. Good looking out guys!
I'll be making more if people are willing to put in requests for LOCK SCREEN "FITTED" wallpapers.
Better yet, if they provide the 480x800 .JPEG file they wish to shrink down, and have adjusted to fit in between the lock screen curtains... I'll post those as well.
I'll do some more wallpaper hunting tonight though...
Forgive me..but..
Forgive me but..where shall I put this awesome work? Can I put this seleciton on my storage card? If not what directory? Forgive me my "newbie-ness" if you will?
Sincerely yours,
abb

No worries.
Simply create a folder on your SD card that you can name WHATEVER... and then go to your settings to change the LOCK SCREEN WALLPAPER!

Awesome, thanks man!! I'm still trying to learn why this is an issue on the HD2 as opposed to other 480x800 hardware, like my TP2, but it's great to see that people are finding ways around it
I noticed that at least one of the wallpapers you found and modified there (color flames) is one that I'd also stumbled across and cabbed up for the TP2 using HDWalls. I've got a dozen or so others of various styles that you're welcome to check out and work the same magic on if you're interested...some are in the same vein as the ones you have there, others are completely different, but I thought you might enjoy some or at least find them worth converting like you did the ones you posted above.
Most of the ones I found (but not all) are in the following 4 posts, let me know if you want the original images for any of them:

Glad you liked 'em!
The ones in Reignzone's set are all pretty awesome too, especially for a screen as big as the HD2's

Whoopsie, sorry 'bout the 'dis' Reign!
I did download yours too, I just happened to reply to phunkee's reply is all!
I am a glutton for pixel precision. For example, I play FFXI on PC. I play on a window, not full screen, so, accounting for the task bar, the title bar, and the window borders (2 px on either side when maximized) I take all that into consideration and modify the game's registry entries so that when the window is maximized, the screen is drawn to 1:1 ratio. I then set my fake AA (the game doesn't support AA, but you can set the 3D render independent from the window size, so I super-sample) to exactly twice the resolution of my window resolution.
Anyway, that long winded paragraph was to say that yeah, I appreciate pixel perfection and I love what you're doing here.
A little off topic, do you guys know what do do about Opera Mobile (both or either the installed version 9.7 and the downloadable 10.0). Neither draws the web-page to 1:1 on the 480x800 screen. With 9.7, you can pinch-zoom in very minuscule decrements/increments to get the page to be 1:1, but it clears as soon as you leave the page. On 10.0 there's absolutely nothing that can be done because pinch-to-zoom doesn't work and the preset percentage values are atrociously off.
Strangely, Opera Mini doesn't suffer this problem, so I find myself using it often as my main browser, but there are times when I need to use a "real" browser, for example, when a page has dynamic content.
Has anybody noticed this?
Ok, so I'm using HD Walls now, and i've done every step right, my only uncertainty is, in teh config file Im not sure which to select.
I know it's Sense 2.5. I'm using Energy's 21898 rom with co0kie's 1.7 apr 14th.
I get the wallpapers to show up in my HDwalls on my phone, and when i set wallpaper nothing changes, even after clearing out said registries.
i was wondering if any one here knows, i have asked in other threads, how i can get this image to be my background for my home screen and all other tabs. my lock screen/start menu background is fine. i also have a cab. file for this image but when i install it just the top and bottom task bars change to the pic. any help/ideas? i have US TMO HD2 stock. someone else had this issue, and tried to install the hdwallpaper patch but it didnt help. i myself have not tried the patch. thanks in advance.

Susasama, here's the images you wanted, both the source and the one I used HDWalls to crop for portrait.
I don't have my HD2 yet ...but as soon as I get it my first order of business is figuring out how to use HDWalls for this new device. I've asked some other users to share their settings that worked, hopefully that might help in the meantime.

If you're anything like me, you're able to appreciate precision...
Such as alignment, things being linear... or perhaps something just fitting on-screen, rather than causing obscure transparent affects on what is (by default) an otherwise beautifully designed, perfectly matched lock screen.
Now, after having said all of that... I'm sure most of you are wondering what I was just rambling about. Well, if you haven't discovered this already... then I suppose I'll elaborate. Once you have applied a lock screen wallpaper, it is then automatically rendered to fit the screen resolution of, "480x800"... which in turn causes your wallpaper quality to typically be compromised if the resolution isn't already EXACTLY that!
Also, you'll noticed that your "curtains" become faded and transparent. Which again, for someone like myself... I do NOT enjoy looking at my wallpapers through "curtains" or "slivers of glass".
DOWNLOAD LINKS:
1.) MegaUpload
2.) RapidShare
Here are a few examples of wallpapers I've adjusted to fit within the TOP AND BOTTOM CURTAINS... which have been fashioned with "black bars" to overlay the coverage areas of your curtains... SEE BELOW! MORE THAN 15 WALLPAPERS ARE INCLUDED!

these look awesome. thanks for your contributions. two weeks ago, i thought about selling my hd2 to get a nexus one due to my love for android os. i'm actually liking win mo more and more. it can be just as customizable as the android OS as i'm slowly finding out.
Thanks for the praise folks...
However, I believe some of you are misunderstanding WHY exactly I created these wallpapers.
They are "curtain friendly" designs, referring to the wallpapers fitting within the physical curtain boundaries. NOT to be some kind of "background for all tabs", meaning that the wallpaper graphics I post are NOT even going to touch your task bar or soft key bar.
These are only created to fit within the boundaries of an unmodified lock screen.
Again, just a bump for those who sent me a PM.
Thanks for your interest.
Sorry for the spam though folks...
Do you know if it is possible to use android live wallpapers on the HD2? I really like the galaxy one on android phones. Its just a thought.
just thought tto let you knoe rapid share link does not work
