[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
I have had some problems with detailed images too. They get scaled down and detail is lost. As long as you are happy with it.

All the best to you and your family:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:

Peace Buddy:)

Anything on the icons for 6.5?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Its on the to do list. I only got my phone back 24 hours ago, after five long weeks. I have got some catching up to do.

I think i know what the problem is with the 6.5 icons. just not had time to look into how to fix it.

I have asked dinik to use his taskbar and i am waiting for him to give me permission to post on my thread.

Hopefully will have it done by the weekend.

Any reason why you have not updated to 6.5.x? it brings lots of advantages over 6.5.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
To be honest I wouldnt know how to, Unfortunately Im not very phone literate when it comes to this. I wouldnt mind, more advantages are always a plus. Is it easy to do? Where would i find 6.5x?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Guide To Flashing 6.5.x

It is very easy. Follow these steps. Just remember if your device is a TMOUS device only flash 2.xx base and radio with .50 prefix.

1 - Install HSPL. Here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=611433 very easy. Download, make sure your battery is over 50%. then shut off phone hold down volume down button and push power button. You will be met with a tri colored screen (bootloader). plug your phone into pc from pc the text at the bottom of the bootloader will change from serial to usb. Then run the HSPL2.exe (Right click and run As Administrator if in win 7) and follow the instructions. If you are going to flash a 2.xx based rom then select HSPL 2.08 if a 1.xx base rom select HSPL 1.66 if your not sure flash HSPL 1.42 (If you have a non US device). Once this is done you are safe the phone cant be harmed and you can flash any radio and rom you like. Dont worry it can easily be removed if you need to send your phone back to HTC.

2 - Flash radio. Here: http://www.vbnfiles.com/xda/HTC HD2 (Leo)/Radios/ Your choice depends on what base rom you are using. After download there should be 2 files. one .nbh and one.exe. If the exe does not exist you need customRUU.exe. This exe installs the .nbh file which radio and roms come in. I will attach it just in case. Flash by entering bootloader (phone off, hold down the volume down button and push power button, same as HSPL) and connecting usb, then double clicking the customRUU.exe (right click and run as Admin if in win 7). Follow the promts.

3 - Flash desired Rom. I use Miris 1.xx base Here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2520 If you use this rom install HSPL 1.66 and i would recommend radio 2.12.50.02_2. Or you can try his 2.xx based rom Here: http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1786 for this rom use HSPL 2.08 and i would recommend radio 2.10.50.19_2. Flashing process is same as before. Just make sure the customRUU.exe and .nbh are in the same folder on your pc

If at any point after the installation of HSPL you have any problems. Just enter bootloader, and you can flash what you want from there.

To uninstall. Follow step 1 and install the original spl for your device. Then flash a stock rom.

Any problems then feel free to ask:)

Hope That covered everything.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
Wow, you're the best. I hate to have had you write all of this and not try it. If you don't mind i would still love the Kawi logo on Diniks once he gives permission. Is that cool? Also I hate to be a pain in the a** but what are some advantages of this vs leaving my phonw the way it is?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
The phone is much more finger friendly! 6.5 feels like it needs a stylus. Most of the ms parts have been updated to support finger swipes etc. The whole os feels more like it was made for the phone. HTC should really give us a official update. Try it you will not regret it!

I will post the 6.5 start button as soon as permission is given. I made the green Kawasaki one by the way.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
Green? AHHHH MAN i wanted yellow. Just Kidding.....i aprreciate all your help and work you do. Cant wait....thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
PM me your email. I will send it to you. He has no rules on that, just about posting on XDA dev or other sites. Hopefully he will give permission and i will make up the yellow Kawasaki. I want to make sure it works before making more.

My PE explorer trial expired today so i am going to have to look for a different resource editor. (i need that to modify shellres.192.dll for 6.5)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
my go at icon making

heres 8 of my icons .

i have tryed most of them and they work . let me know if any dont .

sorry bout the photo with all 8 in . 1st time with paint.

edit* fox cab back .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Your using PAINT!! Try a decent app photoshop is best but costly. a good free option is GIMP. Thanks for the icons. I will make the pack up in the morning.

i am trying to get gameEx to work with my HTPC at the moment, i love the old arcade games. My minds a bit occupied at the moment.

Take it easy buddy!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
yeah using paint.net. i have got photoshop but nedded something less confusing to start with. now i have got to grips with it I'll try PhotoShop now ( if the missis let's me ) .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
New Maloo Pack added to post #6

OK. I have added your pack to the first page. There were some problems with the images. I think a lot of this is down to the fact you are using paint. Here is a list of the corrections i made. Some of the icons i had to re-make from scratch, i just could not find good replacements i hope you like them. All the cabs bar, radioactive and no fear i have rebuilt.

A+: Removal of small logo on top right, cut and resize to fill area.

ThunderCat Chrome: Parts of edge of icon cropped, had to remove the outer boarder to get rid of cropping.

ThunderCat: Badly cropped image. Remade icon from sratch.

Ren &Stimpy: Bad cropping on left hand side. Found the image you used but that has the cropping too. Got a new image of the net and remade the icon. Hope you approve.

Sponge Bob: Fingers cut off. Found image on net and remade icon

BioHazzard: Same again with the cropping. I remade from scratch, i think it turned out well:)

As i said, most of these problems are going to be down to the limitations of paint. Try photoshop its not as scary as it looks:) I am sure you will get the hang of it.

I did not have time to add fox icon, maybe in your next pack ;)

Thanks for your input to my thread:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] LuRock:
Dodge

Beautiful work!!! I would Luv u if u would make the dodge Ram Rino. ;) Thanx...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
I will take a look into into it:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
nice one ganjaman looks good .

i tryed PhotoShop but when i tryed to cut the image when i used the magicwand it wouldn't work. I'll have another crack at it. not sure what I'm doin wrong with it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Try changing the tolerance of the magic wand. also try checking the tabs next to it like contiguous. You will sort it out. i have had no formal graphic design education, and i picked it up. working on thing like icons is a good start into photo shop. I am sure you will crack it:)

Take it easy buddy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pistol44:
Awesome work!

But are these VGA or WVGA? Installed the Win7 start button on my HD2 and it looks almost like I can still see my original start button underneath the new one because it looks smaller than the original..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
They will work on WVGA or VGA. My cab replaces the classicblue_bubble_flag.png so the old start icon is not there. If you are referring to the square border, this is a different file. I have not modified this part to try to keep these icons compatible with as many roms as possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Updated Post #1

Hi all.

I have updated post #1 with a no border cab to remove the square border around the start icon. Also a blank icon, in combination with the no border it will give you a HD mini look. Enjoy:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
can u make a cab for this i will love to have this thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
still nothing on the 6.5? I havent grown the Ba**s to try to swith to 6.5x yet :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
To be honest with you i have not had the time to find a replacement to pe explorer. Hopefully i should do in the next week.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:

No problem. might not be until the end of the weekend, got some plans. I will let you know when i have made them up. Peace.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Pooper:
Stupid question!

I'm using Dutty's Nu Era v3 ROM (OS version 5.2.2.21909)

Is that 6.5.3? :confused:

Will these start icons work on that?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gzcyk:
good job！those look very cool！
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
I think thats 6.5. You can tell if it is 6.5.x if the start button is in the bottom left corner.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Pooper:
Ahh. No, it's top left :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
Monster Pack hope u can build this pack thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lparee:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:

Try install to device. feedback.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7356619&postcount=606
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
This installs the same classicblue_bubble_flag.png as my cabs (with others for the rest of the softbar) So if mine dont work then this will not work either. Not sure why they are not working on that particular build. I will look into it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Can you tell me what this image is?

I will make up the pack, but do you really want the same icon in all of those colours?

I can add some other icons like redbull etc, for a energy pack

I have also had a request for a coke/pepsi icons so i can add those to that pack too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
its the amp energy look

monster come in diferent color u can make them all if u want
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
I see. I have never seen that brand before. I will make as many colours of the monster as i can to make up the 8 icons for the pack. I will hopefully have them up tonight, but i have a lot on at the moment.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Updated Post #6

Hi all.

I have updated post #6 with Energy pack. Thanks to carlospr21 for the monster and amp images.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
no problem need any thing or any help with images just drop me a line bro
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] carlospr21:
my gift for u and plus a new start button just for u
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Thanks, great work. i love it. Maybe in the future i will create a new ganja pack:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
MAn i'm getting so Jealous on all these icons for 6.5x......nothing on the 6.5 yet?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Sorry, just not had the time. Come on, update to 6.5.x. As long as you follow my guide you will not brick your device. Just dont flash a euro radio or rom, you will be fine. i have been flashing custom roms for around five years, and never bricked one device.

Hopefully i will have some free time over the weekend and i will re-look at it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bx10r:
Im gonna try to do it this weekend. What are some of the advantages of 6.5x over 6.5 besides being able to use your hot icons:D?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
The main one is the finger friendliness. 6.5 feels like it needs a stylus, once you try the 6.5.x interface you will never want to go back to 6.5. Things like the wm settings dont have tiny drop down bars, they are larger with more sideways finger swipes to access the other settings, all in all it is in a different league. I have been running 6.5.x since i had my HD 1 and as it has been updated it has got better and better. Now i find it faster and just as stable as 6.5. Just make sure anything you flash is TMOUS compatible as i assume you have a US device. Update! you will not regret it!

If you have any questions about the update process, please feel free to ask.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
nice work on the monster icons . looks very nice.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Glad you like them. How are you getting on with photoshop?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
gettin there. gives me a bloody headache.

just not lookin as crisp as urs. not sure why.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
I find it is best to start with a large a image as possible, min 128x128. Then make sure you select best for reduction in the drop down box, when resizing the image ( ctrl+alt+i )

You will get there buddy, it took me a while to get the hang of it. There are loads of on-line video tutorials available.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
would u be able to have a look at this cab for me pls? i done it with photoshop cs2. but it doesnt seem to work , not sure why. should be a pic of rollin stones tongue
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
To be honest i could not see why that would not work, it all looked fine. I re-built it, give this one a go.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
still nothin . not sure why it is . I'll do it again tomorrow from scratch.

think i know how to do it now . do you use photoshop cs3?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
no mate. i am using cs4. i rebuilt it using your image, must be that. i will take a look tomorrow. i am trying to get irtrans to play nicely with windows 7 at the moment, its doing my head in!!!!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Darkside_:
Still taking requests?

Hi if you're still taking requests I would love to see some Evil Ernie, and Smiley the psychotic button icons.

Love your work!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Good idea. I will see if i can find any other to make up a pack. I will try to complete it by the end of the weekend.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] iainbp:
what is are irtrans ?

tryed another one , but its still looking pixely around the icon . it looks ok on photoshop cs2 but when on phone does not look as good .
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
I Love your Start buttons!

Hi original_ganjaman,

I love your Start menu icons but cant use any as im on WM 6, not 6.5.x.

Do you have any hiding away i could use?

Dont worry if not, just thought i'd ask.

Thanks for your time! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:
not working on my TP2 >__<
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
IRTrans is the ir receiver unit in my zalman HD160 HTPC case. Its made by a german company so most documentation is in german to. Sorted it now with a great little app called startdelay v2. You can set a desired delay on starup apps in windows 7. My irtranstray.exe was starting before the irserver so i got a error on every start up, that would kick irtrans out. Setting up a delay of 15 sec sorted the problem.

Not sure why you are getting the pixalation. Maybe the save setting in photoshop for .png's. Maybe try updating to cs4 i have no problems with that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Sorry i dont. You are not the only one who wants them for 6.5. I have looked into it and my first attempt did not go well. I dont run 6.5 so have no way of testing them before release. it takes hours for feed back from others just to fix a minor problem. I will take another look at it again over the weekend. Any reason you have not updated to 6.5.x yet? There is a link to my guide on the first post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
It should work fine if you are using a 6.5.x rom. others have reported they work fine on the TP2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] MrBeOTP2:
i'm using Mighty Rom Full Force :( win 6.5.x >__<

could u help :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Thanks for the reply,

Thanks for looking in to it :)

To be honest, had alot of problems with the handset, having to return it for repairs for the second time in the last 6 months. Once I know its working i'm planning on upgrading. I know it can all be reversed, just allot of messing about..

Thanks again! :D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
any chance i could just get the htc2 one so i can have someone make a transparent softkey bar with it ...as i cant get it to work with the transparent softkey bar i have now ..

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Post the cab for the softkey bar you use and i will take a look for you.

Always happy to help a fellow Gloucester resident;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
lol no way your in Glosta usa

awesome Thanks for looking at this

btw are you maybe any good with making animated gifs
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
No my friend Gloucester UK:D. i will take a look at that cab tomorrow, i have made a cab for that before, it is down to the installation location of the sofkey bar. its very early in the morning here so going to bed very soon.

I Have some graphic design mates, what is the problem you are having with the gifs?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
cool i have a few friends in the uk

thats cool with looking at that

i dont know how to make animated Gifs and i have a pic that i want to use as the animated.gif on my fuze
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
You need a copy of photoshop (thats what i use) And then have a search for tutorials online. Not really got any experience with gifs myself, If you have any questions i can ask my mates. I will try to post your softkey bar tomorrow:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
ok cool thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O_G:
Requested Modified Tacchan23black Softbar

I have Edited That cab for you. The problem you had was the file names are different, in the softbar you use the start icon is called bubble_flag.png and bubble_flag_disabled.png. Also the default installation location has been changed to \My Documents\Themes\tacchan23black.

Please un-install your current softkey bar, soft-reset then install my modified cab to your device, then soft-reset again. You should then have the softbar and the HTC2 start icon. Enjoy:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Kameirus:
awesomely cool Thanks alot

i tried to get it figured out by comparing the 2 xml files but really didnt know what i was looking for other than the bubble_flag.png and bubble_flag_disabled.png.

i could find them but had no clue why it wasnt working right lol

Thanks again

let me just ask if in the future i wanna change the start menu icon i can just install the corresponding cab now
