Can't get it to work

Hi

I've tried many many many times now, but I just can't get it to work:mad:

First of all, net 3.5 and HQWallpaperPatch_v1.21_forManila2.5.1920 is installed.

My Manila version is 2.5.19211619.0. ROM version is 1.48.409.1(71294)NOR

Ok, so after trying some cabs from dragon-soft thread here that didn't work(the top and bottom bars were always visible and black!)

I thought that I should try making them myself with HDWall. The tutorial looks so easy.

The first problem(I think?) starts when I start HDWall, I get this message:

Why? Does this mean it can not see that I have net 3.5 or later on my pc? Because I have!

Anyway, I click Ignore and HDWall starts. And I do exactly as the Tutorial says and install the cab.

But, the top and bottom(taskbar and softkey) are still black!:mad:

What do I do wrong?

What setting should I use here:

Should I tick this box? Does it have anything to do with it? I did try though;) But it didn't help

Ok, so I thought that, ah maybe I have to install the HDWallS_v0.24b.cab on my phone to get it to work.

Then I made a folder on my storagecard and put the wallpapercab I made in there.

Then I started HDWallS on the phone and found the cab.

But then I get the message: An error occured during installation: - 2147024891 :(

I can install the cab without using HDWallS though, but the top and bottom bars are still there.

And what about the picture files that are created(sometimes): HDWall_softkeybar.png and HDWall_taskbar.png. Do I have to use them?

Do I have to put these somewhere after I've installed the cab?

I thought that making a cab file was all that I needed to do to get the wallpaper all over the screen.

If so, where should I put these? And should I then backup some others?

I couldn't find any files on the phone with that name, so I guess I'm not overwriting any files I shouldn't.

I really really want to have a wallpaper that covers the whole screen, but I just can't get it to work.

Does anyone know what is wrong or what I should try?

Thanks

Edit.

Now I can't change wallpaper at all:confused:

I can change wallpaper for startmenu and lockscreen.

But it's black on homescreen, for every wallpaper I choose!:confused:

Did HDWall mess up my phone?

Is hardreset only way out now?:(

Think I forgot to say that I have a HTC HD2;)

Edit 2.

I can now change the wallpaper on homescreen, but ONLY if I choose animated background(all 3 works):confused:

Everything else I choose makes the background black.

Hi, first of all I must say thank you for the walk through. But I have a problem with making a HD Wall. I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 with the official WM6.5 installed form HTC. I did everything as you described in the first post but only my upper bagrounds changed. Is this because I used no compression @ all?

Can you maybe help me with the settings for my phone or how to find out how to get them? Would appriciate it.

And one extra question, is it advisable that I use Manila 2.5+?? So that it's useable for more people?

Greetings,

JHS

Hi, i have a problem with the slider sets - they dont work on manila 1921. I tried the cab in the first post, i also tried making a cab myself - the slider icons remains the same. The wallpaper works perfectly fine, but the icons - dont.

edit: looks like the new manila build uses larger resolution files + different file names.

Hello,

where can I possibly download those applications:

* TouchFLO HD Wallpaper Creator

Im sorry if this is a noob question but I really have a hard time looking for the download links for those softwares.

Is there a tutorial for newbies on how to use those softwares? thanks and Godbless

[TUT] HDWallpaper on WM 6.5.3

I've created some files to quick-build a windows 6.5.3 theme + hdwallpaper

Extract and open the zip file

Create or download a new wallpaper and resize to 480x800 (portrait)

Open the .psd from the zipfile in photoshop

Paste new wallpaper right below the orange placeholder, this way your wallpaper will be shifted exactly 16px from top

Disable orange layer and save wallpaper as .jpg

Open HDWallpaper and select "HTC Sense v2.5 & Co0kieMonster's Patch - No Compression"

Load your created portrait wallpaper

Close load dialog, softbar and taskbar will be created

Open the softbar and taskbar from the zip (in photoshop)

Copy / paste your original wallpaper (480x800) in these files and save and replace the generated taskbar and softkeybar

Click "Create CAB", convert portrait wallpaper and create CAB

Install

Enjoy

Extra: Set the created (shifted) wallpaper as Start Menu background

The same problem when there will be updating HDWall?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bayria89:
It`s done

It`s done...

i have found the files to change, so that everybody can change the Manilaslider in Version 2.5.211...

the only thing you need is cfc_gui.exe and a graphics programm, which can save transparent backgrounds by .png...

i make it by my own and it works =)

Share your findings?

Hi Bayria89

Perhaps you would like to share your findings. I am sure many people will appreciate it.

Thanks

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sawo:
Maybe it would be better to make it possible to specify own filenames for the manila files like the wallpaper background - the filenames are stored in config file and can be changed in the app settings too. There should be different profiles too, because in the new manila the size of the icons is different.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bayria89:
Sure i can say, how you can change the slidericons in version 2.5.211...

but i have wrote the text only in German...

I have an AT&T service with WM 6.5 and Touch Flo 2.1.1... I made my own background and now there are pieces of it stuck in the top and bottom banner. How do I get the banners back to normal or at least to match the background? One of the backgrounds I made only shows on the banners and not on the main screen? THe other question is that on one of my backgrounds the clock and opening screen is stuck on it as well in the background, how do I get rid of that?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bayria89:

I used the search function for this thread but couldnt find the answer.

I have HDwall installed but when i use it, MobileMatt CrystalClockWhite dosen't work. But if i remove the HDwall then it works. Im using the TP2 2.1manilla cab build. has anyone else had this problem / found a solution?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bayria89:
Search...

and another question...

do somebody know a cab, where you can make the taskbar (up, where batterie is and down, where Menu is) transparent?

i need that for my own rom and cooking.

Thx for help Bayria89
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gwbard:
scroll the screen up... you'll see nothing is wrong -- it's the internet shortcut placeholders showing thru the slider. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gwbard:
there really is no such thing as a "transparent" taskbar -- however it can be skinned to appear that way --

this very thread (HDWall) is dedicated mainly to do just that... try reading post #1.:confused:

however, if you're up for installing Maxycy's MaxTTM it is another alternative. (I actually prefer it)

there are very good instructions HERE (about mid-way in the post), not to mention lots of great walls.:cool:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] zhix:
Hi All, i just finished reading all 114 pages of this thread. I have 3 issues I couldn't solve after repeated trying and reading the instructions.

i am using a HD2 with stock rom (english).

01.

-SOLVED! -

02.

After install the cab, i cannot see the words at the bottom of the screen cuz the words are in WHITE color and my background is WHITE as well. How can i change the color of the words?

03. Landscape doesn't work. When i turn landscape in Sense, the background still shows the Potrait background. Not sure what i did wrong as well.

All advise/help much appreciated. Thanks

hey guys,

I think I've done something wrong but don't know what.

I've used the lastest version to create a wallpaper for all tabs and everything works ok but the image is smaller than the screen.

It almost seems that the conversion creates a main screen image that is about 30% smaller than it should be, leaving me with a black bar at the bottom and around the right had side.

htc sense version - 2.5.19211619.0

ROM - BS_Cloudy_1.0 WWE

HDWall settings - HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression

Any ideas???

Cheers in advance

edit: fixed it, i needed the High Quality Wallpaper Patch

You have to select your 480x800 Wallpeper as your "Lock"-Screen-Background. Its also the background 4 this menu.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tino1708:
yes i know that, but it doesnt work, i used the same picture (480x800) for creating a cab in hdwall and for my background in settings-today (on lock screen also everything ok) . does it works with you? thank you for reply.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] 69s nice 68s great:
ok.. is HDWALLS only suppose to create a background for the home screen or for all the tabbed backgrounds. i created it correctly for my home tab but every other tab is missing the created background theme in the middle. The top column for the taskbar and the bottom column where the softkeys are displaying the new background but the middle section is displaying the default theme on every other tab outside of the home tab.

what am i doing wrong?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mkort:

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tino1708:
you must select that same wallpaper for your background in settings today, or just simple tap an hold on the wallpaper and the menu will popup then select it for your today background. i also think you that you must uninstall any other b4all program.

problems with Getting HDWalls to work.

OK Guys I need some help here I am missing something and can't find what.

I am running Windows 7 x64 with HDWalls v0.28b on my PC

My Phone is a Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 Running MightyRom (War)

Windows 6.5 Professional (Build 21887) I have HDWalls_V0.24bcab installed

on my phone.

I have HDWalls on my computer, set a background for both Portrait and Landscape,

under Configuration, (HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Comprssion,

click create cab, Set the Application Title, Option Include Portrait and Landscape

Wallpaper, create Cab.

Then I transfer the cab to my phone directory (On my Storage Card\HDWalls)

Open the HDWalls App on my phone, pointed it to Storage Card\HDWalls, I see

The Cab file that I copied over. I select it and click Set Wallpaper, it tells me setting wallpaper,

Please wait. Then it drops me back to my main screen but the Wallpaper is not set.

Troubleshooting

I turn Sense off then set wallpaper then turn it back on with same results

Hey, I have a problem (lol sorry). Usually this program has worked an absolute treet for me, I always used it on my leo when I have a stock rom, and I think there was 1 or 2 custom roms that it worked on, but lately nothing is working.

Ive applied the patch, for manila 1921 (made sure it wasnt 22 as I hate it) and Ive installed the cab I made (I know it works because Ive used it before) I restart and whilst it has installed the background, the softkeybar and taskbar and still black.. Grr!!!

I have one hunch, I know .NET Compact Framework 3.5 is installed on the rom as it is listed in its specs (Dutty's WWE Leo) but Im guessing its a newer version of it or something? Im not able to uninstall it and put my older version on it as it is not listed in the programs list as it is built into the rom and I cant install over it as its an older version.

So what solutions have you got guys? I really miss full transparent backrgounds, I really want them back :(

Thanks in advance :D

Much the same issue

The only differences are

a. I use Energy ROM Leo 23518 manila 2.5

b. When I do install a wallpaper cab, the top and bottom taskbar get filled in with top and bottom of picture but the rest just goes white, and after that I can't even set a wallpaper the normal way, stays white.

c. when I do the... HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath I set it to "1".

You mean, from the source image?

Did you use "auto crop & resize"?

What are the original image dimensions?

If your original image has just slightly different dimensions, try using the "Resize" option.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Roupette:
I'm really interrested in this too, 'cause global wallpapers have too be dark in order to keep TF3D information readable, so wallpaper's choice is very limited in that case.

A solution only for Home Wallpaper would be awesome!! I'd pay for that! ^^

Anyway, I have to say that it's an incredible work that the dev did here, 'cause the tweaks that HTC made to have an high quality default wall were all except obvious!
