[Touch HD Themes and Apps] blakevon:
Ok, I finally have to ask, the brick wall is hitting me hard.

Ok, so I have read over 50+ posts in this thread and gone over the above time and time again. I can get the cab created (had issues with that originally but got them fixed from reading) So the cab output seems to be what we are looking for. I have .net 3.5 on the phone and the computer. I HAVE READ THE FINE PRINT, I am familiar with what is being referred to as Touchflo 3D as it was quite common before per the Rom still listed in my signiture. Now I am on NRG's July 10, 2010 21908 "Cookie" "Energy" Rom which has Manila 2.5.20151725.1. I did install the additional HQWallpaper patch version 1.30. I am using v.0.29b of HDWall on the pc and have v.0.24b on the touchpro2.

Now, when I install using HDwallS on the phone the taskbar and softkeys update to the new wallpaper setup (I have tried doing the cabs with and without compression, same results, and have done home key only and all pages cabs) but I never get the picture in the middle in Portrait or Landscape mode. (Both ARE loaded per the instructions I have read in the first post and many many posts which came after.) I do not get an error code so that fine print does not apply. I did go into the registry, making sure NOT to delete the key, just the value, no change. I do not know of any particular addon which sets a background for all tabs on this Rom as I made sure after I reflashed the 3rd time that this is the only thing I have been messing with. I do not have a comprehensive list of everything NRG cooked into this Rom so I couldn't tell you.

The only place TouchFlo 3D is mentioned is under "Advanced Configuration" and "default wallpaper" is not an option. In fact there are no wallpaper options there.

I went into CHT 1.8.5 (already in the Rom) and found a place to select the wallpapers be used from HDWall, I chose that, no change. I tried the other 2 options, no change. Yes I soft reset between each and every change I listed above to make sure it had a chance to take effect.

Changing the start menu background is not an option I have found in the instructions under FINE PRINT. (I mention the Fine Print a lot as this seemed to be highly stressed through the 50+ posts I read and searched through.)

Now, in looking in the same registry folder that you have us remove the value for HomeBackgroundPath I see a lot of places where each piece could be changed in the "Cookie" version of things and other stuff to reference the background image, but that is crazy unless you are going to stick to 1 thing and I thought this program was to make it easier.

Now as you can see, I don't post much but have been on here around 4 years. That is because I read and research and usually find the answer I need. With so many people using this program effectively, I really have to ask, what in the heck am I doing wrong here? What have I missed? I mean I am not a complete idiot with computers or Roms, and I know tweaking usually comes with the package when you enter this world. But I have never hit a roadblock this hard.

So will someone please tell me the simple fix that will make me smack my head and go "DUH!" that I seemed to have missed somewhere and give me a hand?

I would greatly appreciate it.
