[SKIN] Black/Dark Manila Dialer for Rhodium(Roms)/Touch Pro 2 (UPDATED 06-03-09) - Touch HD Themes and Apps

i'm working on a black/dark manila dialer.
for now i only have a dialer. this is for rhodium/touch pro 2.
Works also on Duttys 3.7 XT
install on device and soft reset.

Look at the attached file, there are all original Pics.

Thanks dude.
just what i needed

The rhodium dialer reads from a dll file, phcanimages.dll in your Windows dir. Thanks to InsecureSpike for pointing this out to me a while back...

oke thanks this is what i need to

I used the instructions here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=54514 under "How to create your own Start Icon (VGA)" in the first post, except obviously you're fiddling with the graphics in phcanimages.dll not a shellres icon. I didn't get very far with my own black dialer attempt as I found re-writing and signing the dll a very tiring process, and there seems to be some compatibility requirement for the bmp's (indexed or rgb colour, never really worked out which) otherwise you get graphical corruption. Good luck, please post any info you find that might be helpful. I just wasn't patient enough to work it out myself BTW as I mentioned in my earlier post InsecureSpike of the Albino project has successfully re-skinned the rhodium dialer in his theme, he just hasn't finished it all yet.

ok thanks for the info.
i will look into this and when i'm done with it, i'll post some info ( i hope hehe)

You inspired me to return to my project Invade I found the problem I was having with bmp formats was just a limitation of ResHacker (I think). Switching to Restorator Trial has solved it Here's a preview:

`Don't like the icons of video and confrence.
But the other things look good.

I also had this problem with bmp files. So if you use Restorator Trial you can easily edit and replace the bmp's ?

i cant get it to work. i always end up with white images in the phone.
in which bit format do you save the bmp file?

Hey Invade, I unsigned the phcanimages.dll by dragging and dropping it on to unsigner.exe. Then I opened it up in Restorator, extracted the images I wanted to work on. I edited them in photoshop and saved as bmp's. I saved using default settings in photoshop. In restorator I can see a mix of 16bit, 24bit and one of the ones I've changed and can confirm is working is 32bit. Not sure if the original was 32bit too. Anyway I find the file I want to replace and use Resources>Assign>Assign To... to enter the new image. After that I use mssigner to re-sign the phcanimages.dll (with default settings). I suspect this last bit might be what you're missing as I think I accidentally did the same a couple of times After using mssigner it leaves a log file in the same folder as the dll which will confirm (or not) the signing process. After it's signed the dll is ready to use.
As for the icons in my dialer I like 'em, but it is a WIP

hey millski a big thanks for your very usefull info. you keep me from not going to bed last night
take a look at this preview

nice. will you share this when your done with it.

Update in first post

Many Many Thanks just installed over L26_THDV2.3_Ultimate ...just GREAT Work looks beautiful. I would say the best. Can you make it for landscape.. since this is only for Portrait mode. Thanks in advance.. That would complete the wonderful work.

is there a .cab file ?

This looks really nice invade! If someone could make it into a cab file I would definitely be interested!

Update in first post!!

Not working on my device either. Is there a separate program to activate this or will it just overide the default dialer?

Background for all Tabs

Hi
I have a question.
I found a thread in which they put some files in to change all backgroounds in all tabs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
So I downladed the files and unzipped them on the PC.
I got 2 files:
5c9aa261_manila
4a087e41_manila
So I thought I had to copy them into the windows folder of the touch hd (am I right?). So I did. The file "4a087e41_manila" copies as it should, but when I try to copy the file "5c9aa261_manila" it says that it has to replace an already existing file. Then I click yes and it says thats not able to overwrite the file, cos its in use.
So does somebody know how to do that and if I am on the right way to install it? (didnt find a howto to install this backgroundmod )
Thanks in advance!

use total commander to copy and paste it then it will let you overwrite it or stop tf3d and use TC. it worked great for me but just an FYI, you have to mod the manilla file with a 256x256 pic or you will end up with a white backgroun on every tab instead of your pic

I made my own manila file and think it looks terrible with this. IT stretches the 256x256. Any chance odf using 512x512 or soemthing that doesnt have to be a perfect square?
You've probably worked this out for yourself by now, but i think the trick here is to pick an image that looks good at 800x480 and then use PSP or similar to squish it to 256x256. The HD seems to resize the image to something acceptable when it renders it.
Worked for me anyway. Having said that, the image quality isn't fabulous - decent but not spectacular - from what looked to be a good starting image, so maybe I'm doing something wrong - I'd expect a decent image on a screen like the HD's.
Any other suggestions from those that have already replaced backgrounds?
that is precisely what I am doing with the exact same result. In addition, it seems to position the image a hair to the left..... not sure why.
I reckon we're losing detail when the image is compressed and which the HD can't recover when it renders the image. There ought to be a way of sorting this out as there seem to be other examples of decent quality backgrounds on the forum. Maybe these are only home tsb backgrounds though?
Of the two files that change the background I reckon the one that starts with 5 is the one that tells HD what and how to display. If I knew how to edit this I reckon it the displacement issue could be sorted out and it might even be possible to use a bigger image. I'm poking around in the dark though.
work great for me !! tnx !!

Can somebody explain this to me?
Hi guys
I installed the two manila files "5c9aa261_manila" and "4a087e41_manila" (see attached in "manila files.zip") into the windows folder and then reactivated TF3D.
Then I say that the background changed well in all tabs. It seemed everything was all right til I saw this (picture attached). In the all programs list and the share portfoilo tab I see instead of a all white backgroud a dark bar in the upper half of the screen showing the background installed on all tabs.
Now I wanted to know how I could solve this. Hope someone could help me.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. I've even hard reset the device and applied this tweak with the same result. Anyone else have a suggestion??
I have the same problem... and it didnt bug me before but it really bugs me now... it happens in all TF3D applications, all programs, Album etc.
Appreciate any advice on how to fix this.
Anyone.. perhaps the original author of the thread.. are we the only two people seeing this issue?
I do not have a solution to that, but what I have noticed quite often earlier on the HD (not sure if it was the case with the Diamond, as the Diamond backgrounds looked better) but whenever you set a background the NORMAL way (using the settings tab) then the background also becomes quite unsharp, indicating that the phone makes a snapshot of the image which is a lot smaller, and which then gets scaled back up when displayed on the home screen.
I don't know why manila does this, or why HTC decided to do this, perhaps to conserve memory but come on, an 800x480 image does not have to be big.
Wanna see what I mean, watch a razor sharp picture in album viewer then put it on your background, it will be unsharp, like it's a blown up very small image.
If anyone has any clue on how to change this, to be able to use sharp backgrounds, i'd be grateful.

HTC Touch HD TF3D 15-Tab

Hello,
I wanted to share the HTC Touch HD TF3D 15-Tab update
I made a short video from my HD to show the screens now available.
My "testers" have now given the green light, so I now share with you all.
Please follow the steps carefully, and everything goes well.
The "advanced config 3.3 tool" is just around the TF3D to restore it.
For the order then to make, how you like, is the Diamond TF3D Confic 0.6.7. tool to use.
thank you.
Have fun with 15 tabs on the HD.

Hee what kind of emulator do you use ?
I really like the concept but here's a quick question for you.
Would it be possible to have 3 different additional tabs. I don't need the calendar or call list or even the Comms tab (useful as it may be).
What would be great is to have 3 additional "Program" tabs that could be renamed and would allow me to add my applications / settings / tools etc. (i.e something approaching the menu panel/s in sbp mobile shell).
What do you think? Would it be possible?

This does not work for me. I've tried it a dozen times. TFL3D just cycles between 'launching' and 'Tap to launch', until I replace the 26948339_manila file and then it's fine again.
Edit: Just did a hard-reset and tried it again, success. I must have some settings or a program that was causing an issue, possibly one of the tweak programs.....
Edit: After reloading all my programs....TFL3D is back to cycling between 'launching' and 'Tap to launch'...
Edit: Ok, after a bit of playing around (and a couple of drinks), it appears that you cannot use Pamas Transparent Slider with 15 tabs, which I guess kinda makes sense now.
hi there....
i saw the video and it seems great !!!
i carefully read the pdf instructions and i didn't find the Advanced Configuration Tools 3.3.0.0 .... i have Schaps Advanced Confog Tool 2.1 ..is it fine with this one ???? i also wasn't able to see the AS version installed on my HD, this is the one given on the windows CD with the HD in the Box..... i have downloaded Total Commander .....do you think i can try with these 3 softs or i must have exactly the 3 softs in the 3 versions ......? thanks

The issue is one file that is in the slider package. It is primarily designed for the Diamond.. and thus is a Diamond file.
Most of it works with the Hd.. but it doesn't make it Perfect for HD!,,,
as for this cab i made... I did it for myself.. and thought i would give it to ddriver for the work he has done to do this.Very well done
Give that man a cigar!.
I will make a cab that is corrected and Slider for HD.. and transparant would work with 15 tabs... .. and use my own edited HD files..
Ddriver, !Singh!.....thanks very much for your efforts. People like you are what makes this site so enjoyable. Cheers

Hi, and what about de Spanish one?
I'm ready to help with translations, if you explain to me what do I have to do and how to edit the files.
After reading last Saturday the tweak on the forum pocketpc.ch (thanks ddriver), I made this cab for italian users of my forum.
Already tested and it works perfectly. You must install the cab after you uninstalled all the customizations of the slider and disabled the TFL3D.

wm6.5 icons for wm6.1&wm6.5

work on wm6.1&wm6.5,sorry,the cab was something wrong
i`ve upload new zip.
1.install
before you install it ,you`d better delete /windows/start menu/ folder,but it`s not necessary
put the /windows/ fold in your phone,the import install.reg
2.uninstall:
the icons may not work,please import unist.reg file,then.reboot your phone
any1 tried this...

the icons are from PPC rom,i dump the rom,originaly they are png format,then i convert them to .ico,because some pixes are translucent,so when they are converted to .ico format,you will find the edge is not so good.
but if you use iphone style square icons on wm,you will find it`s very good
that`s the reason
why are they good in computer?because the some of the icons`s edge are transparent or translucent,xp/vista support 32 translucent,but wm(base on WINCE) dont support
sorry for my poor english

(Don't copy the Start Menu folder if you want your current menu)
2. Start regedit and Import the "Install" into your registry...
3. Restart...
Note... If you like my take on the icons just replace the dll's in the

3 row

Can anyone tell me how to get the three row start menu on my phone. I am using the latest energy rom. I cant seem to find out how this is done.
I am trying to find a cab as well. I found a cab in the Raphael section from NRG, but I dont know if it supports the TP2 as well.
Can anyone post a cab?
Thank you,
Daniel
EDIT: I tried the cab in NRG's Raphael ROM forum, but it didnt work probably because of the VGA/WVGA issues.
I did try another cab that was said to work with wvga. It didnt and I just got sad.
do a search for start menu default portrait. the files name after extracted is StartMenu_GridScene_480x800.cpr. it needs to be copied to root of windows folder,overwriting the original. there is a recent rom that has it listed as an addon, but i can';t remember which cook had it. i'll post link if i can find it.

Hey guys, I tried looking for a cab a while ago, because I'm personally a fan of the three row start menu. So, a few months ago, I learned how to edit .cpr files and made this cab, which is attached. It's 3 rows in portrait, and 5 in landscape. If you don't like that, you can extract the cab with something like cab2oem, edit the .cpr files, and create a new cab that overwrites the files in the /Windows directory. I can't guarantee that it works on your setup, but it should in theory work on any WVGA device running 6.5. Hope that helps
davethetytn11guy's fix is better because it gives you 5 rows in landscape instead of the 6 for the link i posted above his. thanks dave.
Thank you both so much. I have been looking for this forever. Im not sure if i want the 5 in landscape but im not gonna complain. Im just happy to have 3 in portrait. Thanks
Yea daves did not work for me. I am gonna try agent_47's
agent_47 also did not work for me.

Change SMS Background

UPDATED
SMS Background Pack 2
I have made 13 cabs to change the background on the sms/email screen.
Cabs:
Marble
Sky
Water
Pasta
Lined Paper
Ice 1
Ice 2
Sugar Cubes
Light Wood
Vanished Wood
Rice
HTC (not recommended as picture is dark)
Sky Non-Threaded Version (not had confirmation that this works yet)
I have also included instructions on how u can make your own pics as a sms background.
Thanks to Ahen who made the white brick wall cab that i used as a base for me cabs (I have included his cab out of respect).

Enjoy
cool, thanks. Just so you know, the lined paper CAB installs the sky background (sky installs sky too), so you may want to reupload that one.... that's the one i wanted too lol.
Thank you for you sharing... now i can change the pic i want !!

neat implementation. Any idea how to make it work on the email/SMS slector page? I see it works to create a background if you open an individual email/text but it doesn't impact the page that shows all texts/emails. Any thoughts on that? Thanks - an great work so far.
Is there a reason your using three times the same backdrop, instead of pointing to only one graphic in the html and CSS?
The Compose SMS htm was missing a few lines that made it incompatible with 6.1, you can test if it works in yours.
it support 6.1 or 6.5 please or just in original rom?

im using it on wm6.1. on the official SE r3 rom (uk), works fine. about your first question, these are base on ahem white brick wall background and he made the html & css file. Also if u decide to make your own u can make the 3 backgrounds different i think (have never tested it).

could u un-tick the system files box in the properties as i always have problems getting system files to show on my laptop.
Here are all the Files for Mail SMS etc.
I made it so it should only use one Graphic.
Hopefully their of use to you.
For some reason copying them manually breaks stuff, but making and installing a cab works

the images are all 480x800 but when i made picture of a girl it seemed to cut the image (maybe where the sms screen does not use the whole screen) thats why i only used textures in my cabs. what cab are u using? or are u using your own pic?

ok, i will make a cab but as i answered on the post above it may not come out properly, thats why i only use texture like pics.
ps. i have made the cab, but the pic u gave me was very low res. give it a try and tell me how it comes. if u can fine a higher res pic it would look better.
oooops...
