Hey im sorry to bug the chefs and other members with this question, but i have found a rom that i really like. Only problem is that its for the Verizon Whitestone. It has the cool blue slider, the stock black and white tf3d icons, but it has the my location and weather clock, and it also uses the manila start menu instead of the joke that wm 6.5 uses. I am currently using josh's perfect black v 1.7 and it works great, but i want something a little faster and more stable... if someone knows how to get a rom to do all these things or can cook one like this then that would be amazing =]
Again, i am sorry for bugging ya'll, but i just want a little help =]
Most ROM's have screenshots in the thread. This will probably be closed soon.
Just check out the ROM Threads to get what you need
thats the problem... i check them almost everyday and there is nothing here that is like it =[
You'll just have to keep looking, or ask a chef if they would make a ROM with your preferences. Failing that, get a kitchen and give it a go
Or try and find CABs to change another ROM to match, I think most colours can be changed with CABs, and I'm pretty sure the start menu can too.
Moving to "Themes" sub forum.
Thanks =]
thanks that helps alot... if u dont mind me asking for a huge favor, i honestly dont know where to find a cab to change the slider or the icons for sense ui
You can also search the Topaz or Blackstone themes section. They almost share the same customizations..
My suggestion for a ROM would be deepshining by dotcompt..nice looking ROM and fairly stable... as far as the custom sliders give http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611441 these a look through

Hello again,
I've got a lot requests about the Icons I use on my System because of my "Real VGA WMP Manila Skin" Thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3044289&postcount=25
So, I've modded nearly my complete System with custom made icons. I used ResHacked and siggner to apply the icons to the exe's and System Files. You can search the forum if you don't know how to do that.
I searched for a cooker who wants to work with me to bring out a ROM with a complete redone Iconset, but it looks like no ones want to do this with me.
So I decided to release my Icon "Standalone".
Since I don't know if it would be OK (because of Copyrights or things like that) to post here the complete modded Programs with the costom exes you have to integrate the icons by yourself.
If you would like an Icon for a special Program just post it here and I try to do one for you.
Thats enough for now...
Have fun... fRED
Here again some Screens
Some more...
Can you make these icons for the settings too , very nice!
Funny that you're asking. I just do these types of icons for Setting, so yes, I can do *g*
But you have to be patient for some days.
fRED
I think this is really amazing, do you have some installation instructions for the not so clever like myself to install?
Also, do you have or could you make icons for TomTom for MSN Messenger... Please?
This is fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Sean
I've made your requested icon for MSN/TomTom + Mobiler, because I use mobiler quite often now *g*
Update in first Post
fRED
Wow just beautiful! i really like these icons...
Thanks a lot!
How to install? Just copy to /windows?
No, it's not that easy! Look at my first post. You have to use ResHacker to apply the icons to each .exe.
I don't want to post the exe's directly cause there could be copyright problems. Also there would be problems with different languages and Version Numbers of the files/exes.
The dll's which are integrated in the pack are also German one's. If you want to apply them to an english version just extract the modded icons.
At the moment I don't want to explain how you use ResHacker to exchange icons. It's not that difficult. Just Google or search here in the forum.
Maybe anyone other wants to explain it here, than I add it to the first post.
regards,
fRED
ok thanks man i will try it
is it possible to use on Touch HD?
Of course, you have to replace the icons directly in the exes. So this works everywhere.
fRED
Thank you so much for doing that for me, your a credit to the forum matey. Keep up the good work, ill be keepin an eye on your future projects and this one, dont stop, create!
Sean Saunders
I really love those Icons.
Could you release them in .png format so they would be compatible with D-Mans Idiamond programme launcher?
Hi !
Nice work, but can you make a .cab for lazzy guys like me ?
Would be great !
Thanks
Great work, really great work at all! I'll use these icons in my own ROM now!
really great work!! thanks for the fantastic icons!
but there are just two things:
1) could you make the corners a little bit more round? they look a bit squared actually.
2) could you provide png files instead of ico, please?
Hi BlockbusterF!
First of all, I like your Iphone icons! I tried to cook a rom, and replace the original icons by your iphone style icons. If you interested in a ROM with your icons, we should make a cooperation. I make the rom, and you make the icons that we need for a fully iphone icon style rom.
I will use the new HTC 2.00 base rom for basic. First I need learn to cook a rom (now it's on ). I will get off some HTC application and put my own (maybe make some registry tweak too), and then make the iphone style.
If you interested in the idea, contact me!
PLEase say yes.....

i guess its my dream come true. i have been looking for such a ROM since the time iphone came in existance. it will be like best of both worlds.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374571may be here you can get some idea, ( but for diamond i would really vouch for iDiamond project of Dman666, as it involves the manila files direstly.
Blockbuster, great work! I've actually gone through all the work to import them into my files and they look amazing. It's quite a lengthy process, took me nearly 2 hours to get 'em all done. On top of that I was having some difficulties with a few icons (namely the RSS Hub icon and tasks) but I've got it worked out.
I thought I'd make a contribution to the project, I've made an icon for the app Diamond SensorScroll in the style of yours. See attached zip.

hey there
first i am sorry if this posting is against the forum rules, i do hope that it is not however.
here is my idea:
The Toch HD seems to be running much faster without any wallpaper. E.g. when the background of Manila is just black an there is no wallpaper at all, it scrolls more fluently.
so, is there any way to completely disable all the wallpapers in manila 2.5? in my case, i got the energy rom which sets wallpapers for all tabs by default, can i disable this?
i think we would get a nice performance boost.
regards, burobernd
p.s: no just taking a black picture file wont do the trick ..
x2
is there a cab to disable the wallpaper in home screen of Sense 2.5?
Bguards
Hello, do you mean when you use the standard wallpaper of manila?
I've one Idea. You could use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
With this programm you integrate a custom Wallpaper in Manila like its the standard wallpaper. So the wallpaper is a Manila file and not a jpg oder so...
Hope it helps

not using standard wallpaper nor installing cab created with HDWall, just remove all wallpapers in registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila, it would be obviously faster within manila 2.5.
Yes right but i have something to say... where are we going ? We need more and more Speed and often we want thinks from our Blackstone that he just CANT handle LOL my point is okay we can do many things for faster Manila so now we will remove all wallpapers and the phone will be with blank black screen ok.. so also we can CFC edit the manila images to make them alot more light but of course this will cause they to be not the best quality and the manila will be even faster.. then if we want we even can remove totaly some of the tabs and the Manila wil be more faster.. and alot other tweaks like this.. But my question is What we doing exactly? To be honest i prefer my device to be more slow but to look good and i to feel good when im playing with it.. so you spend alot of money for this device and on the final you even can`t have a wallpapr? LOL if someone need so Much Speed can buy Leo or Nexus One witch i think is the better choice right now..
We can make many many tweaks to have faster Interface but we will lose the quality and the beauty of that Interface
tsalta, this is a very interesting thought you have.
however, i see it differently: with all those shortcuts and weather icon and stuff on the homescreen, i think there are already enough (maybe even too much) items on it.
so, effectively, when setting a colorful wallpapers, the screen gets all messy which i dont like at all: no wallpaper at all allows me to have the clean and professional look i want to have, and yield a little bit of speed.
it is true that we should not pretend to have a leo with a 1ghz processor in it, so manila 2.5 might be a questionable choice. but, as it happens, the majority does want it on their phones, and then so be it. if they prefer a wallpaperless manila 2.5 to a wallpapered manila 2.1, that's legit!
and one last thing: i for my part didn't chose manila 2.5 because of the fancy homescreen but because of the many tiny fixes and enhancements in all the other tabs.
but as i said, you are right if you say that some roms are just loaded with fancy stuff that might run well on a leo, but not on our blackstone.
cheers
Yes yes it's just personal preference for speed or for eye candy. That's why many people are still using winmo 6.1 and many people are using energy's ROM. Thanks for the chefs here we get plenty of choices to balance our need
Actually it's kinda out of topic in the ROM development forum
MOD EDIT - Feel this thread is more suited in General discussion forum
hi all,
i have tried several roms (aragons and the other sense one) but whenever i try to mod sense with the themes available on the wm forum, it just kills my phone or colours dont show, or missing text

All i can suggest is making sure the mods are compatable with version 2012 of sense. The few i've tried work on the aragon rom.
As far as the wallpaper i'm not sure, thought i had a fix but its reported as not working. Its in the thread for aragons rom.
hi,
yeah i did skim through some of the rom threads for anything but it seems like yeah, sense works, but only just you know.
I know its still early days for the tg01 roms and mods so something might work later, im ibnterested to know what noksers planning with lesscro though,
hopefully a bug free/stable 6.5.5 with a fully working front end
I am REALLY confused as to how to get and install themes on my new phone. Some problems i have come across so far, with any instructions i have found, are:
Diamond TF3D Config DOES NOT work on my phone
I CANNOT untick TouchFlo3D as it DOES NOT appear in the items list of the today settings.
Can anyone shed some light on how you theme the phone. What can i be doing wrong?

First you have to know what version of manila you're using. Are you using stock rom?
sounds like he doesnt have touchflo at all....
update rom, maybe then try...
It goes by different names... see if you have something called HTC Sense in your home items. Or Manilla
How are you trying to install the theme's? Are you talking about a theme for the menu bars (top and bottom) or are you talking about a theme for HTC Sense (Aka Touch flo 3d)
Each should basically install via a cab which is an install program. If its a standard windows mobile theme which will just change the background the bars then you just have to move the theme file which you can move over to a folder onto your phone (not SD card) and you should see it in your themes section in home settings.
If you want to switch appearance of HTC Sense/TouchFlo3d/Manilla... whatever you want to call it You can try this too... Theme Switcher] it looks interesting although Ive never tried it
Hope this helps

it is used to modify windows desktop theme, not manila theme
manila only supports change wallpaper,
if you want modify manila's theme, you need to modify theme code of manila
Sorry for the lag.
Apparently i do not have TouchFlow3d
I have Sense. Not sure why their is one or the other.... I was never asked which i wanted when buying the phone. Even the CUSTOMIZING HOME SCREEN tutorial on tmobile's site assumes you have TF3D.
The whole thing is just confusing.
And the reason i inquire is because i really hate the stock layout/display/theme of my phone but every single editor/mod/customizer i find is for the touchflo3d!!!!!! ESPECIALLY co0kies home screen editor. I really would have liked that. Why do sense users get the shaft?

ummm... you might wanna look into that alittle bit more. cookies home screen works with sense also, 2.1 or 2.5.
TF3D= pretty much the just wm6.1 and what i call a "test" for sense
2.1= pretty much wm6.5 and like TF3d but with graphic improvements and stuff.
2.5= ment for the HD2 but since were cool we ripped it, but pretty much same as 2.1 but just an updated version pretty much
if i may suggest a ROM for you it would be this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=569507
just scroll down to the 2nd post and look for "- valkyrie.ftp v6.7.21904-TR2.5 28th MAY wm6.5 without extra tabbs" it has cookie cooked it it
that would more than likely fit you since its a basic version and has good things preloaded with it. but if you want more than just that then go for this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562773
just look for the download button with sense 2.5 and that has the cookie mod already cooked in it as well
just make sure to hardSPL your rhodium before you do any of this. for any more info just look in the ROM development thread and look for things in there.
with that said im done for today and im going to sleep

Like I said.. Sense is touchflo3D for all intensive purposes... most of the editors you see WILL work with sense. Sense is the newer name for Touchflo3d.
Sense comes in different varients... 2.1 and 2.5... you likely have one of those. I can't say for sure but I thought that cookies home tab only worked with 2.5 which is a significant upgrade. If it does work with Sense 2.1 then odds are you are good either way.
Do some more reading and you'll find out everything you need.

It doesn't work with 2.1 I already tried a while ago and ended up having to hard reset my phone, losing everything, because it screwed it up.
So I found out I've been posting in the European HD2 forums, so now that I'm in the right place, I've been wanting to change the appearance of my taskbar on my HD2.
Ideally, I would like to have my start menu button resemble that of the Start Menu button on Windows Vista / 7, and I would like to be able to edit the other icons on the taskbar as well. I have no idea how to make this happen, I've gotten a few ideas but it all seems overly complicated, like editing .DLLs and things like that.
I'm willing to take that plunge, I just need someone that's willing to help out. I'm seeing all kinds of uploaded screenshots of the HD2 with the taskbar laid out virtually how I want it, but I just don't know how to do it!
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Flash a rom that looks the closest to what you want would be my advice.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Just install a theme.
Honestly, you will probably have better luck posting in the euro hd2 section.... there's more people there and it's the same phone. I find more knowledgeable people there, plus the hd2 apps section is there. You're probably gonna do best just finding a skin you like... there's tons out there to change the icons many different ways. Search the hd2 apps section and the windows mobile themes and apps sections.
Thank you guys! I appreciate your responses, when I get home from work tonight I'll research the options I was given.

What you're looking for is a taskbar icon set... they're often included in custom ROM's and themes, but you don't have to go through all that to get one as almost every taskbar set thats found in one of those is also available as a stand-alone cab. In addition to the HD2 themes section, be sure to search through the main WM Themes section at xda to find other options too.
I don't know exactly which ones you've seen that you liked, but here's some of the most commonly-used ones on the HD2:
Dinik's Anastasia taskbar
Dafunk2's NGTV taskbar
Brian's taskbar, gfreek edition
Phoenix's B&W taskbar
You guys are amazing, thank you so much for all of your help!
A few pictures of what you like would be helpful. I am using the dinik anastasia one right now...Just make sure you read everything thoroughly and you should be ok...I have also used this one when I was running the GTX theme http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626188
