HDWall was first created back in the days of the TF3D 2.1 version of Manila, and that's the only type of slider you can use it to configure/create...as you can see the new versions of Manila (Sense 2.1 and up) have different manila files used for the slider, and different image size requirements, etc.

HDWall just isn't compatible with CHT 1.8.....yet.

Hey guys. I have a AT&T HTC Tilt 2 that i just hard resetted. I installed the netcf, hdwalls, and isntalled the manila patch. After creating cabs using hdwall, i moved the files onto an sd card and installed them on my device. when i go into hdwalls and set it to wallpaper, it loads but after its done loading, nothing has changed, its still the same background, with no change in the portrait or landscape. there are no other cabs installed. any suggestions? thanks

I've also already deleted the registry value for the hkcd as indicated in the fine print
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] nyleon26:
Hi can somebody help me? i accidentally installed hd walls into cht 1.8 and only got a blackscreen. i later read that it's incompatible with that version of CHT so i chose to uninstall HDWall and the wallpaper.

Now all im stuck with is a black background and i can't change the wallpaper anymore using the regular sense 2.5. any help would be great.

i'm using HTC sense and tried to edit the slider icons and it didn't work for me. nothing happened after i install all those things. i really wanna know how and where to disable any "background for all tabs" addons? and i can't find HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath. also, if i wanna edit twitter tab, how to do it? maybe i'm just too dumb :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] roloracer:
If hdwall isn't compatible, why do we still have the option in the 1.8 to use it, if you go to cookie's home tab editor/miscellaneous settings is on wallpaper mode.

question to maranell0

I'm having this error when trying to convert the files before creating a .cab

unhandled exception has occured in your application, if you click continue,

the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit

the application will close immediately.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

if try to continue, nothing happens from there, and yes I've searched but there's no answer.:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maranell0:
If you keep getting this error, try to use v0.28b and see if it works.

(There's no landscape support for Sense 2.5 in that version)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] victamone:
When converting the file it took longer than fifteen minutes...What is the limit in pic size and does this automatically give you the clear clock skin, slider and new buttons on top? if not where do I go to get these modifications? Thanks for your help.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] roloracer:
thanks for the info! using v0.28b fixed the error issue. now for some reason when I installed the cab, the top and bottom bar are not aligning with the wallpaper! I didn't say before but I'm running energy's 21905 cookie hometab 1.8, but you probably noticed it on my sig.

thanks for your help!:D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maranell0:
There is no size limit for the wallpaper, it will be automatically cut to the right size for your TouchFLO/Sense version. The conversion takes a long time because it uses the CFC Command line tool to convert the image to the QTC file format and the program is not optimized to use all your CPU power.

No, the Manila mods are not included, you have to search the forums to find them.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] morg01:
I had the same problem, and I was shown the light . . . basically you don't need to install the HQwallpaper patch with CHT 1.8.5, so you'll need to uninstall the patch and CHT (of which you might see a win mo error which says that CHT could not completely be removed, don't worry just ignore, and re-install CHT, then reboot) and HDwalls wallpaper should now be displayed correctly (although I get a slight misalignment ... see attached image)

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] roloracer:
what do you mean by where are the programs? how about you do a little reading on the first post! check the change log so you can see what changes have been made, read the fine print and just download any of the HDWall v 0.25 thru 0.29.zip. :cool:
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] imakul8:

edit: okay so i figured out that you must convert the image file from a png file. so i converted it, created the cab and saved it to my HD2 but when i try to install it, my wallpaper only shows up on the top start bar and bottom slider bar, the rest is the default black wallpaper.. can anyone help?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maranell0:
Hello nightdriver10,

On a clean install of the latest EnergyROM with Co0kie's Home Tab v.1.8.5 on the Touch HD I did the following:

Did NOT install the Co0kieMonster Wallpaper patch (as this one is already present in CHT).

Created a portrait wallpaper with HDWall using the default "HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression" Profile.

Installed the cab, soft reset.

Then, from "Co0kie's Home Tab Editor", "Miscellaneous Settings" - "Wallpaper mode" - HDWall. "Menu" - "Apply Changes".

The wallpaper appeared in all tabs.

Try to uninstall the wallpaper patch and remember to select "Apply changes" in CHT Editor.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maranell0:
You can install (or flash a rom with) Co0kieMonster's Home Tab v.1.8.5, which has the wallpaper patch already included.

Yes, you can set a separate wallpaper for the home tab and a black one for the rest of the tabs.

1. Create an all-black image using MS Paint.

2. Create a wallpaper using that image with the default profile "HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression" -

Don't create a cab

! Just press "Convert"

3. Select the "HTC Sense v2.5 - Home Tab - No Compression" Profile & convert the wallpaper for the home tab.

4. In the "Create cab" window, add the "11d4e1ae_manila" file created previously to the cab (left file list "Add files" to right file list).

5. Make sure that there are no "HDWall_taskbar" & "HDWall_softkeybar" files in the right file list or any entries in the Registry (if you don't want the taskbar/softkeybar skinned) & create the cab.

You have to install the corresponding mods that you want for your TouchFLO/Sense version.

Please check the thread here: (for Manila 2.5) or search the forum

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584415

The wallpaper misalignment issue is caused by Windows Mobile 6.5.5, the taskbar is slightly squeezed and the softkeybar is slightly stretched (vertically). That should be corrected in a future version, but because of the complexity of the many different configurations that have appeared over time and the way HDWall was developed from the beginning, it requires

a lot

of work to adapt the software to the new configurations, so there's no ETA on an update.

This question might be dumb but....

Is there a way to have both the landscape and the portrait wallpaper in one cab? Ive played with this program, but cant figure it out
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 0ptimus:
Is ther a vid on how to do this process?

I am really lost here...:o

EDIT:

Ok so i got it running... Made 3 HD Walls and it was working fine on the 2nd till the 3rd wall froze up?

Can't reset, clik , scroll etc... resorted to HARD Reset.

Installed everything back to the dot then - tap on HD Wall icon went to the file folder and its BLANK?

No cab files or HD Wall cab files? All empty?

WHat did i missed here?

EDIT:

Ok so again i uninstalled and re-installed the whole HD WALL. Started from point A - Z.

Question: Why do i keep gettin the error "-2147024891" ? So i followed the next step - If you get the error "-2147024891" when installing a cab with HDWallS, you can install the cab files manually from File Explorer.

Then i uninstall it and run the HD Wall icon.. It works?!

Why do i need to do this process over and over again to make it work?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maranell0:
That was one of the oldest TouchFLO mods and it was called "Glass Clock".

Depending on your Manila version, search the forum for "glass clock" or "transparent clock" or try here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=584415

Check both "Include portrait wallpaper" & "Include landscape wallpaper" in the "Create CAB" Window, then press "Convert".

That error code is received from the cab installer process, of course this is not documented anywhere, but that's something usual with Windows Mobile development...

The error should translate to something like "Access denied".

Try lowering the security policy for your device:

HKLM\Security\Policies\Polices --> change "0000101a" to "1"
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 0ptimus:
Tnx for the reply!

BUT unfortunately i am not familiar with the HKLM thing yet.

Is this a cab file? How do i do this edit?

TYVM again!

EDIT:

(separate Issue)

Back to running the HD Wall icon.

So it works, i can switch back and forth with HD Walls, BUT the task bar and bottow area is black?

I notice i have an extra pix when i created the HD Wall cab (taskbar & softkey bar) How do i make the wall full from top to bottom?

How do i use the extra .png image (taskbar & softkey bar) to work?

Im trying to post the pics, but i keep getting this error message " 1. To prevent spam to the forums, new users are not permitted to post outside links in their messages. All new user accounts will be verified by moderators before this restriction is removed. "
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maranell0:
Look in the start menu for a "Registry Editor". Or you can find a registry editor here: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

In order to use the taskbar & softkeybar skinning:

- You have to use Windows Mobile 6.5 (Older stock ROMs of the Touch HD are Windows Mobile 6.1)

- Use a "WM6.5" profile in HDWall to create the wallpaper cab

- Soft reset after installing the wallpaper cab to apply the changes

Note: I also installed the Co0kie Monster patch for manila 2.5. For some reason I think that's what's causing the issue. Will uninstall for testing.

No errors, but no wallpaper either

I am running a Sprint TP2 with Energy Titanium ROM, WM 6.5, no Sense, with the Windows Default Theme for homepage.

I am getting no errors, everything has created just fine, but the wallpaper will not load on my screen. Every time I try to load the CAB through HDWall(S) or by just installing the cab, I still show the theme selected through Settings/Home/Appearance.

The profile I selected in HDWall was the "WM 6.5 & Sense 2.5 - All Tabs - No Compression", but I unchecked the Sense box in the advanced settings. I edited the registry line "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath" and removed the data there, but I had to replace with something. I first tried a 1, then when the wallpaper still did not show, I tried a 0 still with no result.

I also changed the background picture to a regular picture instead of the "theme" through file explorer, but still no luck... I couldn't find an answer through the search, but I may have not searched the right keywords...

Any ideas? I am not coming up with anything and I am about to throw my phone out the window...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] JDog2pt0:
I only ever got this to work with sense, and only sense. Anything outside of Sense was unaffected by HDWall. Though, like you, I was led to believe it also changed the actual Windows Mobile wallpaper.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jerrya:
Guys, may seem like a stupid question, but with a recent phone replacement, and no upgrades to a more modern stock, I feel like I am back to noobdom.

I am now running a stock Verizon HTC Imagio. I am assuming its running Sense 2.0(?) because I cannot find anywhere the actual sense version. I check start/settings/system/device info and all the tabs there, but nothing. I checked start/settings/system/about and nothing there.

I have run HDWalls before when I was running my Imagio on a Sense 2.5 NRG ROM with CHT. So my question is this, will this enable me to have background on all tabs with this older system?

No, flashing is not an option. Wife is pissed that my old phone died, she blamed my flash from months ago on it. So going to stay with stock (plus a few tweaks) for now.

Thanks for putting up with this stuff!

Thanks, but went ahead and started using it, and workes just fine without any patches. The last thing I want to work on are the sliders. Can I use any slider, or am I limited to 2.1 only? Also, if someone is offering it up as a cab, I don't really need HDWall to change it, correct? Also, is there a guide on how to make your own, or do I need more advanced systems such as Photoshop to do anything good?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maranell0:
The slider editor in HDWall works only with Manila 2.1. Yes, you can install the cabs without using or installing HDWall. If you want to make your own slider icons for Sense 2.5, I would recommend using CFC GUI found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=470798

You can use CFC GUI to view and convert existing textures (including slider icons) from the QTC format used by HTC Sense in PNG format and back.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jerrya:
Thanks. I am trying a few sliders. My first attempt failed. They looked good on my desktop, but were crazy small on my imagio. That and I think I converted incorrectly, as the wallpaper returned to black instead of what I cabbed up. Oh, and I forgot to remove the last cab, so that really messed things up a bit. Had to uninstall all the cabs including TCruz's mega cab, then reinstall in order to get things back to starting point.

I am working on another, taking my time to be sure that the sliders are good, and that the conversion setting is correct before I do anything.

Thanks for the information, looking forward to getting this to work!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jerrya:
Update -

So I made sure I chose WM6.5 - touchflo v2.1 - no compression - all tabs.

I then created my slider icons, and chose to create a cab. When I completed my wallpapers, I then told it to include portrait and landscape wallpaper as well as converted slider icon set.

I then uninstalled the previous wallpaper, then reset my phone. Once I saw that the phone was cleared, I installed the new hdwall cab. And reset the phone.

But this is what came out both portrait and landscape. The top and bottom bars look great, as do the slider icons. BUT I get no wallpaper, its like it isn't there.

Any suggestions as to why? I am running a stock ?( Verizon HTC Imagio with TF3D 2.1 and wm6.5 WVGA.

Ok so a quick question please. I have been using this for a while first off and love the program and want to say great job with it and I am glad you continue to improve on it. So my question is; I have the new patch installed and am using version .29b, portrait works great have the task bars and everything, and the landscape now rotates the way it is supposed too. However the top and bottom bars on landscape mode when the keyboard is open do not change. So basically I have the middle of the picture turned landscape but the portrait task bars still there. I have a Sprint Touch pro 2 running sprint lovers rom. Thanks again for any help you can offer!
