Looks like the problem is with the tsk and not with the cab...

1. On a fresh ROM, I copied the tsk file and GFX folder to \Windows.

2. Selected the theme in Settings -> Home/Today

3. Everything was fine, until I restarted the device

4. Once the device restarted, it was back like in the screenshots a few posts above.

I hope you can fix this, as this is one of the best themes we have had in a long time..

[Windows Mobile Themes] Mahagon Coral:
+1 ...

Really fantastic theme, but it refuses to work after a soft reset ... used it on several ROMs, did hard resets, etc. ... and reinstalling only works until next soft reset ... :(

Hope for a fix soon!
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I have the same issue...

Here is my 2 cents:

1. I am on NFSFAN's 6.5.5

2. His rom has Sense 2.5.2012 Installed

3. I installed the GTX Sense 2.5.2012 skin found here on XDA

I have noticed that the skin works as long as the GTX Sense skin is not installed. And I did a soft reset and your skin was still on there. Then after installing the GTX Sense skin and doing a soft reset your theme was messed up just as everyone else's.

Here is the order I installed everything to get these results:

1. Installed the Taskbar Icon cab you recommended

2. Installed your skin

3. Installed GTX Sense Theme

If I install the GTX Sense theme and then your skin I get the same results as everyone else. The second I soft reset the skin is messed up; rather then soft reset after installing GTX and it getting messed up.

Again, if I don't install the GTX Sense theme then I can soft reset without messing up your skin.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Elim:
I can confirm this.

And the problem is still that the tsk make the GFX directory self unreadable :confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
New version posted!

for all the people that have problem with my theme, a version without the GFX folder! tell me if it work, i will make the dark version too if this work fine!:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Your new version worked for me! Great work!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
glad to hear that! :D

so the problem were the GFX folder that doesn't work on all system...
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
My guess is permissions due to certain roms. I looked into the problem on my phone a bit after I posted and it wouldn't let me delete the gfx folder. It wouldn't let me delete anything under windows as I tried to delete your .tsk file but it gave an access denied error. I tried a few other random files, knowing it would mess up the phone if it did delete, but it was all the same access denied error.

But either way, your new version works great. Glad to have a nice looking full theme for the phone!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
yes, probably the problem were on windows folder permissions...

Not a problem anymore with the new version! :D

On the first post the new version of the DARK version!!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] hskeik:
Thanks a lot, nice !!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Elim:
Both versions work now, also after some soft-resets but still not after a hard-reset :p

Thx a lot :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
*quietly* Your post title says February 4th 2010 lol

p.s. I know, but i'm from usa...
[Windows Mobile Themes] NNagendran:
That's awesome... Works after soft-resets...

Nag
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
I'm glad that now it work for all!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonbus:
No, it can´t be done, because 6.5 doesn´t use softkey buttons, so you must simulate buttons in the softbar, not always there are sk´s and not always has the same size..., look:

Only the taskbar works ok.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mahagon Coral:
Working really well now!

But I have a question:

Would it be possible for you to make a theme that is based on the white version of yours, which is totally bare of any color ? just green being replaced with the sort-of-blackish-really-dark-grey ...

This would be REALLY awesome!

edit: I found a small bug ... at 0-9 (hours on the clock) the black part of the taskbar becomes to long and overlaps with the battery icon :( when I manually set it from 5 am to 3 pm (15 in 24h mode) the bar becomes visibly shorter/smaller ... any chance for a fix?
[Windows Mobile Themes] newone757:
Dont know why but on the new version (the white one) my taskbar text is white and not black so i cant even see it

thanks for the update though, atleast this one actually works for me
[Windows Mobile Themes] fr3sh_t0_d3f:
Install the attached cab and it will turn the text black.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
For the non green theme is possible, but it will take some time, i'm really busy! :)

second, for the hours is not a bug... you have to choose in "international setting" the hour format "HH.mm.ss"; so you will have always 4 numbers in the clock, and the icon will not move.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mahagon Coral:
Double thanks! really great :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] ddeathmetal:
There is posible to change all the corner Borders like this (WM default lock damn Stupid and dirty)
[Windows Mobile Themes] gianton:
great waiting for the non green version. thanks very much for your time and effort, your theme is the best around!!!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
Non green version is posted!

Try it, and tell me if it work well!! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] gianton:
working great thank you my friend! :D

how can i have the grey highlighted menu in resco explorer as in wm explorer?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
I don't remember where i took this, but there are two gray theme for resco explorer!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gianton:
yes thank you again!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
1000+ downloads!!!

thank you all!!!!!! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mahagon Coral:
Thanks a lot for the new version!
[Windows Mobile Themes] thangkls:
Too bad that this theme doesn't have 6.5 version :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
I have already wrote that if someone provide me a complete wm6.5 theme, I can make one!

i don't have a 6.5 device, so i don't now witch files are needed.

Can someone send me a cab with a wm 6.5 theme or post a link where i can find one complete?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beefheart:
Lovely theme, I really like the homescreen. But I don't like the way the bars turn pale blue in the Windows menu, is there any way to have it stay the same?

Also, what theme creator was used to make this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
Sorry, can you explain your problem, meaby with a screenshot (i can't speak english very well) in my theme there is any blue graphics, meaby I miss some images!

i don't use any theme creator, just create all images and make the tsk and cab with wince cab editor (anyone now a program for creating the CAB? because the trial of wince cab manager ends in 8 days...)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beefheart:
Hi. Here are two screenshots, the first one is the homescreen which is perfect. The second is the Windows menu with pale blue bars.
[Windows Mobile Themes] federicojj:
in QVGA pleeease :eek:
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
the taskbar and the softkey bar in the wm start menu are semi transparent, so if your wallpaper is blue, the bars will be a little blue.

Is not a problem of the theme, is not neither a problem, is wm feature! :D

the only solution is change wallpaper..
[Windows Mobile Themes] Beefheart:
Doh! Thanks. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonbus:
Maybe you already had a little help here...in your own thread...
[Windows Mobile Themes] jonbus:
If only gfandrea could put this in first post and put in the title QVGA, more people who have QVGA devices could really enjoy this beatiful theme...
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
I now that someone tried to make the theme...

I will make one for 6.5 probably today! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
Can someone that have tried the wm 6.5 version tell me if it work an post a screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew-in-woking:
Does not work at all

Hi gfandrea

I installed the WM 6.5 theme on my HTC Rhodium and it did not work at all. I followed this procedure:

Installed theme from .cab file.

Reset device

Selected the theme in Settings>Today

Reset device

I basically got default "glossy" WM6.5 bars and completely un-themed scroll bars, pop-up windows, etc.

I think you may have a typo somewhere in writing registry values.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
Looks good in the OP screenshots, but the QVGA version looks very roughly-done...

No offense to jonbus, but if you check out Livven's SimpleGloss themes, he is able to make perfect edges and blending in QVGA. Perhaps someone could do a more professional resize?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
sorry, i don't have much time... if someone want to make a QVGA version of my theme, no problem!

and i can't try it, because i don't have a qvga device, i don't now how they look!
[Windows Mobile Themes] 4D3:
I dont suppose you have a plan for a DARK NG version do you?

thanks

MG
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew-in-woking:
I will try to look at your WM6.5 theme

Hi gfandrea

OK, I'll try to look at your WM6.5 Theme this weekend. I am sure there's a way to get it working.

Has anybody got the WM6.5 GFX 1.2 theme to work? If so, please post your method.

Thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
i think that is simpler if you use the taskbar and the softkey bar of the dark version; just change the name from gfxd_taskbar.png to gfxg_taskbar.png and copy to the windows folder.

Meaby i will realize all the file image, so you can mix up all the theme!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
Thanks! I can modify the images, but with the cab and tsk i have a lot of problem :D

if you can look in to it, you make me a great favor! :)

PS: 53 people has downloaded the wm 6.5 theme; can someone other than andrew-in-woking tell me if it work?
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew-in-woking:
Problem with main .cab file

Hi gfandrea

My initial findings is that your main .cab file is installing the graphics files into the wrong folder. They are going into a generic %InstallDir% in the setup file rather than %CE2%. I.e. they will end up in "\Program Files\gfandrea GFX Theme 1.2" rather than in \Windows.

I'll do some more testing and confirm this. If it is the case I will see if I can fix this for you.

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew-in-woking:
Nope - that's not it!

Hi gfandrea

Sorry - that's not it. I had hoped it would be something easy like that.

I'll keep investigating!

Cheers

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] andrew-in-woking:
Hi gfandrea

It's not the files, it's the registry entries. When I install your theme several registry keys are missing. These to be precise:

HKLM\Siftware\Microsoft\Today:

Bubble

ListView

Menu

MessageBox

ScrollBar

SoftKeyBar

TabView

TaskBar

Toast

I don't know why but your .tsk file deletes rather than edits these registry keys. I think that some others are missing also. What method are you using to make the .tsk and .cab files?

Thanks

andrew-in-woking
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
For creating the theme i have take the theme "m.carroll PureBlack2 VGA" and i have modify the image files and the name of the files in the registry entry. i modify it with wince cab manager.

i take this theme because i though that it was complete...

so the problem is that the tsk doesn't replace the registry informations, but just delete them!

tomorrow i will investigate on this...
[Windows Mobile Themes] horison:
Working great!

thx so much for the theme:D
[Windows Mobile Themes] ash969:

[Windows Mobile Themes] gajodafeira:
Sorry guys, maybe it's noob thing, but i install the cab in the device memory and nothing happens.. i activate in today on sethings and that didnt looks like the screens.. some help here?

EDIT: If the WinDroid taskbar is for 192dpi how your theme will correctly work in qvga? Other thing is the colours of your theme are strange, not like the screen, thats my doubt..
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
can you tell me what version of the theme are you installed?

and also the windows mobile version.

i can't help you if i don't have this information.

The windroid taskbar is not included in my theme!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gajodafeira:
I have instaled "gfandrea GFX Theme 1.2 wm6.5" and i have wm6.5 with the start button on botton... My english is not the best too!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
you don't have wm 6.5 , if you have the start button on bottom, you have to use the WM 6.5.x version (that is the original i made). download the file "gfandrea GFX Theme 1.2" or the other two variation (DARK or NG, see the image on the first post)
[Windows Mobile Themes] jeffmcc:
can we have more screen shots???
[Windows Mobile Themes] srgudhka:
which android taskbar are u using. can u provide the link to it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
All the image skinned are in the screenshot, what do you want to see more?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gianton:
hey gfandrea,

when you have some time can you make a black theme to use with stock manila 2.5, like the htc black but with your magic touch?
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
I can think how make it... :)

But this week i have not much time to work on it...

So, i will try to make one, but i don't now when i will realize it...
[Windows Mobile Themes] gianton:
great mate, thanks. will be watching for it then!
[Windows Mobile Themes] teorouge:

[Windows Mobile Themes] dogans:
I don't know if this has been answered before, but,

is there a way to get rid of the blue border around the start button when using an ENERGY ROM?

This also applies for other soft buttons. OK and Lock also has blue border around them..

I'm using the regular 1.1 version of your theme.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
Can you post a screenshoot?

i don't have any blue graphics, so the problem is the energy rom...
[Windows Mobile Themes] dogans:
Thanks for the quick reply!

You are right, it is a problem with energy rom, however, I was wondering if there is a fix for it? Or does it not have anything to do with the theme?

I've attached two screenshots.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
I understand...

Copy all the png files in the windows folder!

It will overwrite the one from energy rom, so, if you want, make a backup first!

In the attachment all the standard wm button icons
[Windows Mobile Themes] dogans:
Thank you so much! works perfectly.

This is the perfect theme with GTX :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Lycox:
Really weird. I couldn't get the WM6.5 version working. I checked the cab and the tsk file too but I couldn't found any error :confused:

I also tried to put all the gfx files in the tsk too but I failed :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
I also look in the cab and in the tsk after some people tells that it doesn't work, but i haven't find any error...

600 people has download the wm 6.5 theme... i hope that for someone works! :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Mahagon Coral:
Just a small question/request:

seeing you released a no green version and I'm already using it (great work again, btw), I must notice that it's still using green elements (for example progress bar, drop down in windows menues sich as input settings etc.); how are the chances that you might create a version completely without green?
[Windows Mobile Themes] deskoh91:
the theme works great! but I still have one small nagging item left. do you have the dark gray background used in the start menu?

I want to replace the light gray background on the today page with that because the text in TodayAgenda is all white and its hard to read...

thanks in advance for the help!
[Windows Mobile Themes] gfandrea:
you can use the wallpaper you want in the today page (if you mean the WM today page) :)

just search from wallpaper and chose the one you want!

Hi guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to same my SMS's before I flash a new version of ROM. I don't want to lose them.

Regards,
[HD2 General] thierryjc:
Hi,

Use My Phone it save SMS and other things you choose, i use it before flashing with success.

Regards

Thierry
[HD2 General] Mano75:
Download PimBackup. It backups SMS, Phone Logs and much more.

It's a must! :)

Cheers
[HD2 General] Irfan Sawar:
Thanks

Thanks guys,

That was quick :) (one reason why i like this forum).:D

One secondary question, does PimBackup utility also work on WM6.1

Regards,
[HD2 General] Marcyss:
I believe it does :) Old program now, but still does its job very well. Personally I use My Phone, think it's a pretty good service. However, I'm changing from HD2 to the Desire, how can I synchronize these? Calendar, SMS, Contacts ...
[HD2 General] Irfan Sawar:
You are right, it is an old software and it does support older versions of wm. I have downloaded it and will gkve it a try.

Regarding your query, hope someone can answer it.

Hi

A friend gave me his htc magic because he crashed him.

he has already rooted his device

he put 2.1 rom and he decided to put another "fastest" and he crash his device

he told me that radio is bugged and his rom too.

I think with what i read on this forum that it's semi bricked because i can go to the Fastboot with pushing back and Power

When i put him on regulary i get Rogers screen then a Black screen.

What do you think about it ? bricked ? semi bricked ? Recoverable ?

Hrm... new radio.

Assuming he already rooted the device, but didn't have a working rom for the radio combination, try one of the "New Radio" roms for 32A and see if it works (Can you get into recovery?)

Like t his 32A Port of OpenEclair for New Radios

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=640105

If you can't get into recovery you may need to flash the 1.6.2H recovery image from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

and if you can't flash recovery (due to the SPL being Perfected) and you want to try something from scratch (you may have downgrade the new radio back to 3.xx via this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=605239 )

You can try something like Cyanogenmod with this 32A Wiki Guide. (Though I *Think* you'll need to get a Engineering SPL to get rid of any Perfecting)

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream/Magic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
but now i have another probleme.

i cannot charge the htc magic don't know why ...

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
hmm see i can't acces to the recovery mode how can i upgrade my radio ? ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
You'll probably need to downgrade to an Engineering SPL for your phone if you are unable to do fastboot flash radio radio.img from the command line.

(I'd look more for you but I'm currently coding a website for a client).
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
i tryed to make the first part of http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_G1/Dream/Magic32A_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

"if it says 'Remote Not Allow' or similar, your SPL may need to be changed"

They are exactly say that in the commands prompt so i need to flash my Spl i'm actualy trying =)

and i think that i have to make a Gold card to flash my spl

Edit

I tryed to Downgrade my SPL with a tutorial in my language

"http://swissdroid.wordpress.com/2010/02/23/32a-changer-le-spl-ou-le-radio-de-votre-magic/"

And i cannot flash anything they alway say "sending 'xxx' <xxkb>... FAILED (remote: Not allow)

Ans i don't know how i could make a goldcard with a bricked phone.

So What can i do ? ..
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
The "remote not allowed" means the SPL is perfected. Perfected means that it's "Locked".

You have to make a gold card:

http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/

Once you have a gold card then you download a new SPL and put it onto the card (read instructions from there):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4332591

Engineerings SPL v1.33.2010

Once you have an Engineering (prefered) or non-perfected SPL you'll be able to flash what you need without the 'remote not allowed' message.

But I must warn you, make sure you read the instructions several times before doing anything and verify that its for your exact device.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
Thanks for you Help Kbeezie

I've got a probleme

my phone is reconize when i type fastboot devices

but when i write adb devices , it's found nothing so i can't go to the next step : /

Does i need a non bricked magic to make a gold card ?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] kbeezie:
You can't do adb from fastboot, only from the recovery. If you flashed a new SPL (Engineering) You need to then flash the appropriate recovery/radio/hboot, then when you turn off the phone you press and hold down Home + Power to get into Recovery mode, once there then you can do adb, or you can mount the USB and copy over an update.zip or rom file.

Kind of hoping someone with experience on the older Magic/MyTouch (32B) chimes in.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gluton:
Okay

but i can't flash recovery so

i need flash my Spl and i can't flash normaly my spl 'not allowed"

so i need to make a goldcard and i need use Adb commands so how can i make goldcard ? i don't understand ..
