Apparently, in the latest ROM for MDA Touch (2.26.114.52 NLD), the files for the animations are changed. Better said, there's more of them. And the normal png icons are now brn's aswel.

Could someone with the same version ROM, just the unbranded HTC version, upload the new brn and png files needed? Can't stand the pink ones, but half blue half pink is even worse. Btw, I've got an Elfin.

[Touch GSM General] Grondinm:
ok so i have the CDMA Touch. i can get the files in my windows folder and softreset but then the animation does not look right. it happens in like a split second and it just looks bad. i'm not sure if i'm doing anything wrong or if it's just my phone. anyone have any idea. i tried a few different anims with same results. If i knew how to record my screen i would and post here but i don't know of or have a software to do this.

I'm looking for the original HTC Phone Icons.

I've installed the LV Style and would like to undo this change.

The problem is that I've searched the whole forum and couldn't find anything. Even at this Thread here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=1463129&postcount=7

The Phone Icons are not included.

I would really appreciate it if somebody could attach the original htc phone icons.

Another problem is that I've copied the icons for the comm manager to my windows dir but the look will not change. Any suggestions how this can be?

Thanks ;)
[Touch GSM General] r0p3:
You don't need them ;)

As I wrote in the first post:
[Touch GSM General] codac:
damn, sorry I haven't seen this post :(

Total Commander says it cannot delete all of the .brn files...

Do I have to delete the .png files, too?
[Touch GSM General] r0p3:
you only can "delete" the files that you have overwritten.

And yes, if you have overwritten .png files you also have to delete them.

If you have an original ROM the best way is to sort the files in the windows directory by date. Then it's easy to see which ones you have modified.

Total Commander will give you an error if you try to delete an original (unmodified) ROM file.

A reboot helps if (in rare cases) there is a problem in deleting a known modified file.
[Touch GSM General] codac:
Doesn't seem to be as easy as this.

The Comm Manager has a really ugly default color within my modified rom.

I've deleted ALL .brn and .png files, which have been able to.

I've tried to delete all of them again after a fresh reboot.

Anyway, the Phonepad and the Comm Manager still remain their ugly colors/items (because they are original files of the ROM).

arent there any packages with the original htc colored .brn/.png files so that I can try to overwrite them?

[Touch GSM General] mdatouchme:
Hello, and because I'm new here, many thanks to all the guys who gave already so much support.

I allready read a lot of pages here in the forum, but I didn't find the answer, so hopefully I don't ask the second time.

I have replaced all the icons in my MDA Touch from this f... Telekom Magenta into original HTC colors. Now I've got a second phone (for business reasons) and I get a MDA Touch XL. I did the same procedure on it and all the colors except the appl launcher have changed. I realised that in rom version 2.61 the icons of the AL are not any more .png, they are now .brn files which are, in my mind, stored in the rom. Does anybody have an idea to change the colors without flashing the complete rom. Thanks in advance, Achim

Hello guys,

now I find the answer. If somebody needs the complete icons for MDA Touch XL 2.26 ROM (only this ROM) original HTC style,

Adding More Speed Dial ....

You guys are GREAT. I am impressed by your creativity, very cool stuff..

Does anyone know if you can either add a "face" to the "cube" to make it four sided OR change the program launcher to make it another speed dial sheet?

My goal is to increase the speed dial to 18 names...

Thanks!
[Touch GSM General] tom_m:
anyone lose the cube rotation ??? know how to get it back?

i used touch settings program and it completely screwed up my touch cube.

i was able to get whatever icons/graphics i like -- but i dont have 3d rotation.

i replaced with original files. still no luck. i believe some registry settings were altered but i don't know which.

any help?

thanks.

note: I can't put anyone's brn files in and get any kind of animation. nothing will work. it just jumps to the next side of the cube instantly.
[Touch GSM General] oseven:
I had this problem once after I'd used and uninstalled touch settings. It had changed the animation type itself before I uninstalled, so a simple reinstall allowed me to change it back to normal and then I was able to uninstall again...so might work for you.
[Touch GSM General] linkinincubus:
is this vista compatible? It doesn't do anything but flash a DOS screen when i try and run it!
[Touch GSM General] linkinincubus:
I'm going crazy here guys! I've tried overwriting the .png files , i've tried relinking to another .png in Registry I've done soft reset after soft reset. I've hard reset and reinstalled i've used Touch Settings and uninstalled and reinstalled i've used task manager to close everything tflo related and powered off i've done everything except take finger paint to the screen to change the icons on the 3x2 ap launcher and have gotten NOWHERE!!!

some one help please!
[Touch GSM General] oseven:
Ok, first of all, in my opinion - don't use Touch Settings if you can avoid it. I've found it slows the cube down, messes things up, unstable etc etc.

Secondly, I know you've said you've edited the registry icon paths, but to verify, you need: HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\APLauncher

When I skinned the Launcher screen on the cube, I copied the png files from \Windows (AL_01.png - AL_06_HL.png), edited them in CS3, and resaved them under the same names, but in \Storage Card\Windows, and then all I did was add \Storage Card to the beginning of each icon path (IconPath & IconPressPath) in the registry files so they read, for example: \Storage Card\Windows\AL_01.png

Can't remember if I soft resetted or not, but everything worked fine...

Have you done exactly everything above?
[Touch GSM General] l3v5y:
It would need a soft reset.. (Biotouch stays resident in memory, and loads the settings when the system loads).
[Touch GSM General] linkinincubus:
I don't know what was going on but I gave up all together on linking the files and just dove right in and edited the .brn files directly which worked better because I could change the animations as well. I went ahead and attached the .psd files and .brn files. If guys like them well you know what to do with em'!!

Thanks
[Touch GSM General] 1moreforum:
Alright, So far I've got things working the way I want them. I've got the cube speed down, I've got some program and icon changes. One issue that I am having though that I need help fixing is that when the 4d cube rotates the original icons display but once it stops the current icons display. I know this question has been asked before but I am unable to find the solution. Here is what I've done.

Loaded 4d cube

loaded icon

renamed icon and placed in in the windows directory so that it saves over the old icon

Everything is working correctly other than the displayed icons during animation.

Thanks for your help!

I am not so savoy, and need a little help, just looking to deck out my htc touch with some cool app's but having trouble figuring out what zip files work with which other ones, kinda like information overload....and i am plagued by, if i install a half dozen files and i gwt errors or other problems then i may have to do a hard reset to start over from scratch....as i have now done 3 times in as many days.

Devil_Inside and r0p3 thumbs up!!!
[Touch GSM General] nmx77:
awesome stuff guys, thanks A LOT :)
[Touch GSM General] Devil_Inside:
Here are some simple animations I did last night:

............... ...............

What I like about them, is that they're really smooth when viewed on the Touch.

(+ You can get a much smoother animation if you use screenshots of your cube when creating it)

So, if anyone's interested, I can write a short photoshop tutorial on how to create smth like that using your own images.

Also, I can post a blank english animation if someone sends me the A0, B0, C0 images from an english version of the ROM (with english text written on the sides of the cube, 'cause the standard blank images with no text are too blank (:)) for a nice animation).

The russian version is attached below:
[Touch GSM General] Seed123:
wow thats amazing
[Touch GSM General] r0p3:
Hey Devil_Inside you are a real hero!

Can't get my eyes away from your super smooth blurs - this is... UNBELIEVABLE :eek:

Tip: You could also blur the A0, B0 and C0 a little so that the text would become unreadable - the text and icons will be overwritten after the animation with the language specific text and the icons ALxx...png, MHxx...brn and QDxx...brn

P.S: and of course we all want to know how you did that ;)
[Touch GSM General] tom_codon:

[Touch GSM General] frufo2000:

[Touch GSM General] Seed123:
I can't use it if my phones not russian right?
[Touch GSM General] r0p3:
Why not? Sure you can use them, you only see the russian text a very short time.

If you don't use the A0, B0, C0 then you won't even notice that it's russian.

Udated first post with my first try, the 4D-Cube
[Touch GSM General] c0d4:
Now you can design animated skins, i launched my photoshop and

started to design a new touch flo interface in refreshing green.

Will keep working on it if my touch will come back from the shop :-/

Hope you like it :)
[Touch GSM General] Seed123:
Man, I love my Touch :D Insane customization options thanks to this awesome community..

That green truly is refreshing :D
[Touch GSM General] Devil_Inside:
Thanks for the positive feedback:)

Here's a short tutorial, if anyone's interested in customizing this anim.

The english version of the anims is in the attachment.

r0p3, thx for the screenshots!

Ehm, I've tried that once, but at the moment when the animation ends, there is a noticeable slowdown caused by the phone loading contact names/photos and language dependent text, so I try to avoid modifying A0,B0,C0 images. A similar idea is to try just changing A0,B0,C0 images with your own if you don't want to change the whole animation.

P.S. c0d4, I like that green :) Nice work!
[Touch GSM General] iiiox:
All you guys are awesome!!! Hopefully the barrel one which demostrated on the first post earlier can be realized sooner!! Thx all you genius 100 times!!
[Touch GSM General] r0p3:
do you mean the "barrel" motion I removed? That didn't look very good on the phone in my opinion. Looked just like flat scrolling and I didn't like it.

But if you liked it I can try to do the other sides - should not take too long, when I can remember how I did it.

Attached again here in this post.
[Touch GSM General] vlodeck:
Hi guys.

Seeing this thread evolving so quickly I decided to share some animations with you I made few days back. There are 7 different modifications. Just extract and replace all the .brn files to \windows directory. They seem to run a lot smoother than the original one but thats just optic illusion :)

I personally think that images should contain 3D aspect. That gives you the better orientation. Thats why there is only one flat animation (burp).

ftp://xda:xda@130.89.126.174:2311/Uploads/Software/anim.zip
[Touch GSM General] Anubis9:
Good ones!

But about the 3d aspect, i think otherwise. There are too few frames for a good 3d transition, if there were at least 5-7 frames, it would definitely look much better, but now any 3d looks like it is lagging.

I preffer 2D ))
[Touch GSM General] vlodeck:
Anubis9: If you overclock your processor to 286 and use "smooth" animation you will not say its lagging.
[Touch GSM General] Anubis9:
No, no, don't get me wrong, i mean that you see just 3 frames - 3 angles of the whole 90degree rotation, and that's why it appears as it's lagging a little bit, but indeed it is not. I speak in general about the technology. Maybe HTC will someday post a new upgrade that will permit to use more frames for these transitions :)

But anyway, i think it's just me ))
[Touch GSM General] SeniorNoob:
Request

Can I make a request? Can someone make a clear see through cube like Beryl. When the cube rotates you can see the other side as it rotates. Maybe use vista glass or something. Just a thought.

[Touch GSM General] r0p3:
thanx for the cabs.

But I am wondering what will happen if you install two or more cabs of the brn animations.

They write the same files in the \windows folder.

So when I uninstall one cab the files will be reset to default. But the other cab(s) are still installed.

Ehm - I hope you know what I mean :confused:
[Touch GSM General] huemedia:
vlodeck: thanks for the info.

r0p3: Im wondering about the same issue. My other question is when you install the png files for audio manager and the cube programs (like with the complete Vuitton Theme) then uninstall them will it revert back to the original pngs or.......
[Touch GSM General] r1sk:
Ive got a question , is there a way to customize the cube in a way so all the 4 walls of the cube would be the same ( i want all of them to be as the contact wall ..) so i would have 36 contacts on the cube instead of the 9 Ive got now? ..

ehh actully i didn't understand what you tried to say , could you just answer me with yes or no? .. and if yes - could you explain to me how to do this?
[Touch GSM General] petervbeck:
I always remove the current animation before installing a new one.

When i use the cube after uninstalling the cab, i have the "old-style" cube running....

[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
Hi there r1sk,

I am afraid that it's not possible to do what you want. Perhaps have a look at a program like pocketcm (www.pocketcm.com) and maybe add your most-dialled contacts to the 'favourites' category. In this way it should be almost as quick to locate them, and there are photos of them too in the list.

C
[Touch GSM General] carlosp_uk:
OK this is a really obvious thing and I'm sure somebody has already tried it, but...

...if you add in files A2.BRN and A4.BRN are they automatically used as extra frames in the animation?

Not near my computer so I can't try this.

replace mediahub icons

Hi All!

First of all: "I am loving this...cube customization...thingy...whatever!" ;)

But....

I have a t-mobile branded touch, i.e. cube has pink(!) icons --> yuckkkkk!

I already successfuly added new animations (thanks for these to all of u guys!) and such.

via "touch settings" I already replaced my app launcher icons to the original blue ones.

My (huuuuuuge ;) ) prob: my bottom 2 MediaHub icons are still pink (i.e. images and vids)!

The pics within the transition are blue/correct already.

I DID replace the corresponding files MH_xx...brn BUT it didn't work: the 2 icons (after the animation stops) are distorted AND still pink.

Any ideas what I should/could try would be much appreciated!!
