Here's another how to which I believe is important to share.

How to use the Utility tab (Backup/Restore)

I believe this is an important topic especially for newbies who are afraid of messing around wt their phone. Well, I want to dispel any myth that screwing around wt your phone can brick it, Here's the good news, a HARD RESET always will bring your phone back to work. Of course we try not to go to that extent and majority of the time, it is not necessary if you know how to do it right.

First thing, when you start up the app for the first time, you can opt to do a backup. However, this is entirely not necessary if you are starting from an original theme. That's means, if you have not installed any themes for TF3D prior to using this app, it is not required to do a backup.

Simple reasoning is that those files can easily be restored by deleting them. As those files are burnt into the ROM, there is no way it can be changed/modified/deleted physically.

A backup is necessary if you already have themes installed and you may want to restore them for later uninstallation.

One more fact, all manila files are based in the \Windows directory ending with *_manila suffix. So, you can actually go to that directory and manually delete/copy the files if you know what you are doing. You may need advance file explorer like Total Commander or Resco Explorer to do so in most cases.

Let's first take a look at what each button function actually does.

BACKUP THEME

This will save all manila files (more than 2k of them) in your specified backup folder. This backup can take up more than 10minutes. If you have selected png files as well, that will take another 5-10mins depending on how many png files that you have.

RESTORE THEME

Basically copies all the backup files from your specified folders back to the \Windows directory.

FULL RESTORE ORIGINAL

This is slightly different. No files are copied. This function basically tries to delete all manila files in \Windows. If the file can be deleted, the ROM will automatically creates the original file over it. That's why it calls restoring back to the original theme.

FAST RESTORE ORIGINAL (only in v3.3)

Only files that have been copied over during the deployment of components will be deleted. If you have only deployed one file, it will delete that one file and exit rather than scanning through the entire ROM and try to delete every single manila files. This is super fast and 99% of always cleaning up the files.

So, in most cases, a fast restore original should bring your mobile back to it's original operation. This is also the best way to clean any incompatible components that you'd accidentally deployed and does not function properly.

When TF3D does not work or hang. Do the below steps

1. If you can't access StartMenu, you should be able to access Settings by going to Manila Settings>All Settings >>Personalized>Today>Items and uncheck TouchFLO 3D.

2. Go to Start and open MaxTTM app.

3. Go to Utility tab

4. Press FULL RESTORE ORIGINAL

That's it. So, be adventorous and deploy all components without fear ;)

can i give some suggestion? .... can u add some more components or teach us how to add some if u do not have time for it?!! ( and by that i mean manila files related to them!) tanx

1- volume control color

2- some manila components like mail and photo and music and internet pictures ( like tesalat mail and music cristal layer... very nice i think )

3- original calculator and WMP and caller and so on skins

4- ...!

one more thing... could u add some more features to ur app that we can edit some of components like wallpapers and tab icons ( i mean convert some manila files! )

and another thing can it shave my moustache ?!!!! ;)

very very thanx in advance
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Adding components is fairly easy - you just have to find the files that relate to what you want to change! For most of the components mentioned in the post above I (personally) haven't found the files that make them up yet, but then I've only been working with the system manila. Take a look in your phone's Windows dir and start searching for any files (not just manila) that might contain graphics for what you want to change. For example the skin for Opera is held in a zip called _skinbase.zip in the route of the Windows dir. Knowing that we can extract the graphics in the zip file, edit them how we like and re-zip them. To build a component from this just make a dir under MaxTTM/Components called (for this example) "Opera". Inside this Opera dir you need to make a list.txt file which has in it the names of any files you're changing, in this case _skinbase.zip. Make a couple of folders inside the Opera folder, cal them "Original" and "MyNewSkin". Put the original _skinbase.zip in the original dir and your edited _skinbase.zip in the other folder. Now when you open MaxTTM's components list you'll see an "Opera" component with the Original and MyNewSkin options...

The problem is finding all the graphics files really. I wanted to change all of the highlights from green to blue, but the music, album, opera and a few other bits have different graphics files to the base manila, and I simply haven't found them all yet. Good luck searching and feel free to ask for help looking for something specific; I'll take a look in my dump of the Windows dir too :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] MiguelR2005:
First of all, thanks and congratulagions not only for a superb job, but also for your willing to share your knowledge (and your ability to do so without being boring!:D).

Your program is really easy to use; nevertheless, there´s always people that find language a big constrain, or don´t feel like using applications in other langages.

Is there (or can you set up, if possible) an easy way to translate it into other languages? On the 'linguistic side' it should be very easy, as it doesn´t have a lot of text, and the user manual is not so large; on the technical side, it depends on how you have developed it.

Please, think a little bit on it. I will be glad to help on the spanish version.

how can I remove calendar, call history and dotted lines in new manila Home Tab?

Device Locked

Hi,

I have Dutty's V3.0 XT SHIP rom.

Loaded this software Max TF3D Theme Maker v3.2.cab from post #2, ran the program and it locked up the device.

Had to soft reset it. Tried again, same thing.

Have I got the right version?

Any ideas?

All I want to do is have a black background, rather than a background with a "whitish" area on it..

Thanks,

Robert
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Sounds like a fulltime job!! :p

I'm trying to write up tutorial for how to create your own components. Lookout for it. The first one on wallpaper already done. Wt this I hope that the community can start to contribute as I'm feeling a bit solo here and I'm getting a bit tired now doing all these updates by myself.

Thank you.....this will be a start. I'll put up another one for the dummies. :D

It is possible by putting all the text on a file and have the app read and display them back on the app. Let's plan this on later version release.

This is a complicated procedure as it involves hacking the 1c684cd8_manila file. If you know how to do it, you can try it yourself. Otherwise, leave it alone as it can cause your TF3D not to function.

Can you provide more detailed description.

You "lock" your phone only when you run the app or after installation?

Or, did you "lock" your phone after you deployed some components?

If so, what components have you deployed and what home layout version are you using?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
OK.....v3.3 uploaded and available for download on post#2. I've also uploaded some updated components with preview. All downloads wt (Final) will have preview files in it. Below is what I've added in v3.3. Chk it out.

v3.3

- finally fixed the softkey bug (I'm keeping my fingers crossed)

- added a fast restore to original button

- standard wallpaper component can now be deployed through app and updated instantly on manila

- you can now install without taskbar components

- preview available for components wt a Preview.jpg file

- an easter egg (read further below)

I will explain again on how the the preview works.

1. Preview only available for components has a Preview.jpg in the folder where the component files reside

2. Do a slow double click or a triple click on the list when you select a component item

3. If a preview available, a image file will appear on the screen

4. Click on the image to close it

If you want to create you own preview file, simply follow the steps below

1. You will first need a screen capture software

2. Capture it under jpg format

3. Rename the file to "Preview.jpg"

4. Put it into the folder where the component files reside

For eg, you've created/capture a new tab icon component. It's currently active in your manila. Use the screen capture and save it as jpg format. Rename it to "Preview.jpg". Then, put the file into the folder where you have captured/created the new component item.

And, now the EASTER EGG.....

It's more of a test platform for now. First, you need to download the standard wallpaper component pack HERE.

This only works if you are using a home layout that has the standard wallpaper. Either BG4all or Mix will do.

1. Go to your home tab. Keep MaxTTM running in the background.

2. Make sure the phone is facing you.

3. Now SHAKE the phone.

4. You should see your wallpaper changed if you give your phone a real shake.

Enjoy. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Time to get making some previews and testing some new bits... Love the idea of the shake wallpaper btw! Excellent work Maxy :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rechinica:
Is there any way to have HQ wallpapers?

The background is white if i select default wallpaper, and if i select a wallpaper from settings menu it's reduced in quality :|
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Thks again for your contribution. Looking forward to more stuff. :D

Read HERE. Your solution is to use Default type home layout.

I've released this version for TF3D Dutty Home Layout. Will work on the other version later. I'm pretty exhausted getting v3.3 and updating all other stuff. Anybody who's willing to give me a hand will be greatly appreciated. All you need is to have some know how wt graphic editor and your time. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Rechinica:
Thanks :) I feel kind of dumb not reading the first posts :rolleyes:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dizzle:
Good update

@ Maxcycy.

Good job. Working fine with Dutty v3.

Hopefully the creative members of the community can give us more designs!

Thanks again.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
More new wallpaper components for you to SHAKE about.... :D

I've also updated the Flip Clock Digit and Background with previews.

Downloads below...

BTW, if you like the "SHAKE" function, I will isolate this as a seperate module, so that you can still have this function when MaxTTM is closed. Any feedback is appreciated. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Marcdu81:
Thanks , is it possible to include GODZSON's fonts directly in settings\font folder ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JLowe:
Dear maxycy,

changing the flip digital clock with "Flip Clock Pack#1 (Final).zip" also works really flawless with Duttys 3.0. I changed it now to the "Dutty" style. The dark grey looks really nice. Thanks again for your hard work!!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Supposedly possible. But, I did a quick check on Godzon's fonts and apparently some of the font files are no longer valid. What it does is that it replaces the orignal font files wt the same name.

I'm using Dutty v3.0 and there are only 2 of the fonts which are still in use whereas the other 4 fonts name have been changed. So, some fonts may not change in TF3D.

If you still want to have it, here are the steps.

1. First, go to \MaxTTM\Components folder.

2. Create a component folder called "Fonts"

3. Inside the "Fonts" folder, create a text file called "List.txt"

4. In List.txt, edit the file names; in this case, there are 6 files.

neue Helvetica LT 35 Thin.ttf

neue Helvetica LT 55 Roman.ttf

Tahoma.ttf

Tahomabd.ttf

Helvetica LT 35 Thin.ttf

Helvetica LT 55 Roman.ttf

5. Now open your MaxTTM. If you have opened before, quit and re-open.

6. Go to CAPTURE, select "Fonts" and "NEW".

7. Type is in the textbox "Original"

8. Press CAPTURE. Some files may not be copied due to missing files.

9. Now go and install one of Godzon fonts

10. Go back to CAPTURE again, follow step 6

11. Now type in the textbox the name of the font

12. Press CAPTURE.

That's it.....now you can deploy between your original font and Godzon's font. Remember to uninstall the font before deploying.

Great!! :D

All other components besides the "Home Layout" are common across all platforms and version. That means, they can be deployed on non-Dutty's type ROM.

Buuf pack

Lots of Buuf bits all squished together in a pack.

Includes: Analog clock body, Level 1 tab icons, Music tab icons (New Component), Tab icons, Wallpaper and WpaperP. Also included are the original (stock) icons for Level 1 tabs and Music tabs taken from Dutty v3.0 so you can change back. All with previews too.

To use the pack extract it to your MaxTTM/Components dir.

It won't let me attach it here for some reason... http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3FFL4NFX

And a 4shared mirror http://www.4shared.com/file/101814645/2b33ce54/millskis_Buuf_pack.html

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigf00t:
None of this is really working for me.

Editing a component and then pressing "Trefresh" just hangs TTM and then switches TF3D off.

I seem to have managed to change the slider to become transparent but I'm not sure how. I think maybe because I switched TF3D on and off manually but even then it didn't update it immediately.

I'm on the standard ROM I got when I bought it, Orange network and my about says I've got TouchFLO 3D 1.3.35350.1_630.38

I'm using TTM 3.3, with the TF3D v1 home layout.

So whats going wrong?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Great!! :D I'll put this on the front post.

Megaupload link does not work for me here. I've been using 4shared lately.

Thks for another contribution. This will free up my time to do more home layout and improve the app further. Below is a new layout I'm working on.

New addition

1. Date on analog clock

2. A picture/logo for display

Any suggestions are welcome.

TRefresh basically automates the switch TF3D on/off. When it switches off and on, it takes some time.

Let's try this.

1. Fast restore to original.

2. Soft reset your phone.

3. Open MaxTTM

4. Do a TRefresh ( without deploying anything )

If this does not work, you must have installed some other applications that may inhibit the phone from working correctly. In this case, you have to refresh you TF3D manually which could be quite tedious if you intend to change your theme frequently.

As for the Home Layout, you have used the correct one. If it still does not work, let me know.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigf00t:
I tried it. Same thing happens. MaxTTM just hangs- I left it for 2-3mins, and eventually the phone went into standbymode (screen off)- turned the screen back on and TTM is still frozen. Restarted TF3D manually, and then close TTM. TTM will not re-open.

Any idea what type of program might be hindering it?

And is TF3D only resetted through the Today settings?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Aha, I've been trying to work out a use for that space for a week or so now... Is it possible (I know nothing about coding/scripting) to make that picture call a function? The HD is my first winmo phone, I came here from Symbian. On the S60 phones I'm used to they have a series of shortcuts on the 'Home' page that can be edited to call your favourite apps etc. I miss it :( If we could get that area to show an icon or 2 that opened your most used apps I'd love it.

Secondly the clock date display is great, any chance of adding the day of the week display from a thread somewhere in these forums? It's easy enough to mod but a toggle in MaxTTM would simplify it nicely :)

Here's that thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=500019
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Dizzle:
Nice pack!

I'm really liking this idea.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Try this.

Download the zip file. Unzip MaxTTM.exe to \MaxTTM folder.

1. Run the app.

2. Do a TRefresh

3. MaxTTM will hide. Wait for message "TF3D Disabled"

4. Do NOT press ok.

5. Let me know whether TF3D has been unloaded

6. If yes, now press ok. It will try to load TF3D again.

7. See whether it works.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Marcdu81:
Thanks for your help
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigf00t:
I get to stage 3 but I don;t get any message "TF3D disabled". I've been waiting 5 mins. TF seems to be working, and MaxTTM seems to have closed (not in my running apps dropdown).

Also- MaxTTM not starting up again either.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Your mobile is not responding to a message which was invoked through one of the library called coredll.dll . In this case, I would suggest a hard reset, just to clean up everything. Backup all your necessary files first. If it still does not work properly, I suggest that you burn a custom ROM. Maybe that will fix the problem. If not, there's a part of your phone which is not working properly.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bigf00t:
Hmmm... I don't want to do any sort of hard reset. I'll have to give this app a miss unfortunately.

Thanks for your help.

If anybody else finds a different way to sort this, let me know.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Big ask......:D

But, I believe it is possible. I'm only just started to fiddle around wt lua script. Give me some time to pick this up and I'll see what I can do.

For the day of the week. Your wish is granted.

anyone can help with taskbar icons?

i'm using KWBR's Topix 1.2.1 ROM but i wan to have Dutty's 3.0 taskbar icon...

i installed MaxTTM v3.3 and copied all the components pack(including taskbar) to the phone. but when i go to the taskbar tab, the drop down list is empty...

:( :(

*edit*

i got it to work. but can anyone point me to Dutty's taskbar icon?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] htc's fan:
u must get the TASK BAR ICONS PACK and install it to the directory (same as others)

maybe u extracted it in a wrong address... check the address it must be somthing like this...... [ \MAXTTM\task bar icons\ ...]

if u did so... then they must be displayed within the program

then if it still didnt show anything try restart the PROGRAM again...

[ btw i dont know if these taskbar icons are compatible ith ALL roms.... ]
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] onesolo:
Is it me or the preview sucks?!?!

Don't get me wrong, but the way that it's done is simply not intuitive. I think that it would be much better to simply display a text below the items box saying that there's no preview.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eAzYE666:
Hello Maxycy,

First I'd like to say I like your tool very very much. It's easy to use, crystal clear menu's, perfect for me.

It now gives my HD a new look every hour.

I have one minor comment/feedback, maybe you can tell if I'm doing something wrong or maybe I found a little bug.

I'm currently running on a stock ROM, V1 touchflo. I'm using the layout v1 analog + flip 1 layout. No problems with all possible settings. HOWEVER... when I choose to schedule the tab iconssets as well to change every hour, it does not seem to refresh correctly. All other components refresh properly, only the tab icons stay a white rectangle. Do I also need to create a seperate dir for these tab icons for auto-deploy?

Any tips?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Actually, I have an observation/request in a similar vein... After creating some landscape and portrait backgrounds in manila format (matched pairs), I scheduled TTM to change both. I expected them to be in sequence, so that my landscape and portrait remain matched, but they seem to be random once changed.

Any way to do them sequentially, maybe in the order they appear in their respective folders?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Or you can use Soft Reset to update the theme after every deployment. ;)

Thks. :D

Yes....but other components requires TF3D refresh bcos they are not updated instantly. Do you still want that?

You can try the Ultimate taskbar which comes wt the Taskbar Icons Pack download. It's very similar to the Dutty taskbar except that it disable your volume setting back to the classic one. I've tried to re-capture all the necessary files from Dutty v3.0 that I'm using. BTW, what ROM are you using?

Here are the steps,

1. Download and unzip file to "Taskbar Icons" folder in MaxTTM folder.

2. If you are using a ROM with custom startmenu, then that's all you need to do. Otherwise, remove file "htcstartmenuservice.dll".

3. Open MaxTTM, you should now see Dutty taskbar.

4. Before you deploy, I hope you know what you are doing cos, if you are using a qvga/qwvga phone, this could cause a hard reset.

That's it. Let me know whether it works. ;)

Ok.....when I find the time.

I've chked on my phone and it's working properly. Have you downloaded any tab icons components? If not, you can download on first post under "Common Components Pack#1".
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Ok....having them in sequence is actually easier to code. I will add this feature for the next version. One more question......sequence as in alphabetical order or lastest date?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] GDT:
Hi maxycy, in the next version can you remove the 101 limit for battery icon in the taskbar tab? I use a iconset that needs 102 and I manually changed the registry. Thanks.

Is there any layout yet that let me use the analog clock without setting a wallpaper via Manila settings?

Is there any layout which doesn't compromise the classic start menu button (the one my rom uses)?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Realised that for Dutty v3.0 as well. You can for the time being, edit the number by typing on it. I will increase the maximum limit to 103 on next version.

If you are using Dutty, download the TF3D Dutty Home Layout (Final). Use type "Default" which basically disable the standard wallpaper and utilize the manila wallpaper.

Again, Dutty Home Layout works well wt custom startmenu.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eAzYE666:
Yes I did. I've just renewed them and copied them again to the Components folder, also did a soft reset...it refreshed okay once now (orange neon), after this again white rectangles...after that one, it refreshed okay with iPhone icons, after this also okay with Fuze.

Looks like it that one of the tab icons sets is causing this?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Can you deploy them manually and see which one is giving the problem?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Major_Sarcasm:
Alphabetical would be best I think. Thanks man.
