[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dunnboy9984:
it the bottom five icons where the slider is i love the glass look that around those pleas help
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jonpickles70:
very nice ,thx
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Thanks for the kind words, Dunnboy...

I made the slider icons along the bottom myself using the template posted by Dinik (the creator of Anastasia).

Unfortunately, I cannot post the cab I use here because Dinik has some rules about that, which I adhere to out of respect to him.

He does have another thread for people who want to post stuff they have made using his template. You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=704847. But to be honest, I have never got around to posting my cabs there either!

I really should do it. But I don't know if my cabs suit everybody else as I use a lot of transparency.

If I do post on his thread, I will post a link to my posting on this thread.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Nice!

Just wanted to say nice work buddy! :D

Sorry to hear about your last thread... Hope this one makes up for it! ;)

Keep up the good work, it is appreciated!

Can I ask, is ther a cab to make the back of a standard flip clock 100% transparent (behind the numbers)?

Dont want it to mess about with anything else, Its just I love Dinks CHT 1.0 theme but would prefer it was glass rather than white, would you be able to help?

Don't worry if not! Thanks again!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
As I don't know 'Dinks CHT 1.0 theme' (I assume you meant Dinik), I am not sure exactly what look you are after, but making 'the back of a standard flip clock 100% transparent' would not be a problem.

I'm at work at the moment, but I'll do you a cab when I get home tonight (if someone else doesn't beat me to it in the meantime...!)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Sorry, i did mean Dinik..

Thank you for your help. Dinik's CHT 1.0 theme is here

I love the look (see as much of my wallpaper as possible) but would prefer the clock to be glass as well, not white. I know no one will touch his work and distribute it but I thought if I could get a cab just to make the flip clock glass, It would work (as long as it doesn't touch anything else)

Am I right in assuming this?

Im running:

OS - 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manila - 2.5.20121429.0

Rom - 1.72.206.3 (86372) WWE

Radio - 2.07.51.22_2

Thanks,
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dunnboy9984:
ok will u let me knw when u do post them please cause i love the glass look aroud the bottom icons, send me a private message when u post it please
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Would do buddy...

Why don't you subscribe to the thread? Then you'll know instantly :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Now I can see what you are talking about, I'm not sure whether I will be able to help you either.

If it had been only about removing the partially transparent glass background behind the flip clock, I probably could have done that.

But as I understand it now, you would like the 'flip pages' themselves, which are currently more white than transparent, to be made completely transparent.

That would mean modifying Dinik's clock design itself, which I cannot do without his permission.

I'll have a look tonight to see if there is anything I can do without breaking any of Dinik's rules and I'll get back to you then...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Thank you

That would be great!

I have a cab for a glass clock I found on my many searches but it also replaces most of the home screen, removes the calendar furniture along with the task drop down thingy (don't know the name for it) leaving a ugly black line to pull down and check your tasks but dinik's theme skins this as well.

Would it help if i upload it?

I think i found it off the manila mod list that floats about..

Thank you soo much for taking time to look at it for me. It's really appreciated. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Sure. Upload it and I'll take a look at it when I get home. As long as it's not from Dinik, it will probably be OK to remove what you don't want/need...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
One Glass clock as requested

I know this is definitely not by Dinik, and if there are any problems you can use this post as acknowledgment.

I am taking full responsibility for the fact this is not Dinik's work.

If my memory serves me right, this cab glasifies:

-The flip clock

-The furniture behind and below

I am after separate cab's for the flip clock (if you cant do all of them this is the main one i need) and the large tab behind the clock and the task announcing bar.

Thanks again for doing this for me the reason i want separate cab's is because i know a few people who would kill for them, myself obviously included! If there is anything I can do for you PM me.

One final thing i will make sure you get accredited for all of the work as i haven't done anything to contribute. :cool:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
OK, Snowblind...

What you've got here is a cab from Antonio Mistretta. He's actually a really nice guy and will create just about anything you ask him for. So, had you known, you probably could have got everything you need off him...

In any case, I don't need or want any credit as this is his mod. I'm just going to break it down for you.

The clock cab contains:

1. The clock digits (in white)

2. The clock flip pages (almost completely transparent)

3. The clock background and background for location and temperature, which is all one image (completely transparent)

4. The icons for the alarm, calendar etc. (the calendar icon has been removed from this version!)

This cab will not change the background for date, alarm and calendar and it will not change the background for data and time that you see when you scroll down your list of quicklinks. (These last two comments might not be relevant in the CHT world!)

If I understand you correctly, you only want me to separate out the clock (1. and 2. above) into one cab and 3. and 4. into another cab. Is that correct?

Or would you prefer me to make 4 separate cabs, including separating the clock digits from the clock flip pages as well?

Sorry lots more questions and still no cabs to be seen...!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Right...

What I have done is this...

I have created 5 separate cabs. I have tried to name each in a way that tells you what each one does, but here is a summary:

1 cab installs only Antonio's transparent flip clock

1 cab installs only his transparent clock background

1 cab installs only his transparent calendar icon

1 cab makes the date/alarm/calendar background transparent

1 cab makes the mini date/time background transparent

I know you didn't ask for the last two, but I thought, "What the hell? As long as I'm doing this..."

I hope that covers all of your options.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
LEGEND!!!!

You are a Legend! Thats perfect! exactly what i was after!

Thank you for your time and effort! :D

I'll upload a screen capture tomorrow whilst I'm at work :)

I'm sorry, i never realized the original creator was Antonio Mistretta (Thank you for your tasty clock ;) ).

Can I ask how you pull it apart and re assemble it? Is it a single program?

I will pass on this good deed where I can :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
You're welcome!

I'm glad I managed to get it the way you wanted it.

Unfortunately, there is no single program to pull a cab apart and re-build it.

You need to:

1. unpack the cab (using Winzip or IZArc etc.)

2. Re-name the files back to the original Manila names (using setup.xml as the reference)

3. Understand what files do what (using e.g. CFC_GUI etc.)

4. Build the new cabs using the correct files (I use the built-in cab creation tool in HDWall)

There are some 'tutorials' around. But an inquisitive mind and a lot of time on your hands are the best pre-requisites for learning how to do anything on this site...

Here's a screen capture I did while testing..........................and this is my standard screen currently...

...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Here we go!

I'm sure its not to everyone's taste but I like it!

Thank you! As I'm only on my notebook at home now I'm not looking in to any development yet (most things run so slow its not worth the effort, HDWall looked like fun but its too big for my notebook screen size, have tried everything to make it fit...)

As soon as I get my Alienware fixed (brunt motherboard 3 days out of warranty..Sigh...) I'm going to have a bash as I love fiddling, plenty of patience and mad about IT & Gadgets! Looking at the possibility of doing a degree in IT at the moment (soon as I'm settled in my new job).

I might look you up nearer the time for tit bits of advice if thats ok with you?

I'd would understand if not as I know we all have busy lives (got a 14mnth old son).

Thanks again for all your help and effort! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
You're welcome. Snowblind. Always happy to help someone who's willing to learn...!

I had the same problem initially with HDWall. A change of screen resolution was the only way to fix it in the end. I don't think the creator supports it any more and I never got it to work for slider icons, but I still use it from time to time for a new wallpaper and use it a lot if I need to create a cab file.

CFC_GUI (you can find it for free on this forum) is definitely a useful tool to get to grips with if you are thinking of modifying anything image based. As with HDWall, some of the features do not work for me. But I find it very useful for extracting images from Manila files and re-embedding modified images. There is another tool that does the same thing, but I can't remember what it is called.

Good luck and have fun!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Thanks,

I'm on these forums every day for my fix so its only a natural progression! lol :D

All the best buddy!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
=] there is one other thing...

Lol there is always something else...

Could you point me in the direction for a cab to remove the back of the slider?

Leaving just the icons..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Don't worry..

I'm sure i will be able to find it some where, thanks again for you help!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Sorry, Snowblind. Didn't see your previous post...

There are indeed cabs out there that will do that, but usually along with other changes, which I guess you do not want.

I take it you want one that will remove the 'curtain' behind the slider and only that...

I can do you a quick fix tonight for you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
That would be great!

Yeah, all I want are the icons showing. Thank you, i have asked round but I seem to get ignored more and more on here these days... :(

I have one other question (you've got me really thinking how my home screen works), you know when your in mid transition between tabs, you get the icon image with the name of the tab bellow. I have a cab that has removed the transition curtain so i can see the background mid transition however:

A)Is it possible to have a small tab, only big enough for the pic and text (behind them) to make them stand out or..

B) a way of removing the text below the picture?

It would clean it up and make it stand out more.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
A) I haven't seen any cabs that do that. The problem only really appears, as you say, when you remove the curtain. I think you would always have some issues on some tabs no matter how small you make the icons

B) If there is a solution, I have never come across it. I asked the same question myself months ago and (surprise, surprise!) never received an answer.

So I'm afraid I can't help you on this one. Personally, I don't really notice the 'messed up' text under the icons any more...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] johnkst:
Try this one, Snowblind...

This should only remove the 'curtain' behind the slider icons and nothing else...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Thank you, Its perfect! =]

Sorry for the later reply, I'm just on my back from my friends stag due weekend.

Thanks for the slider cab, exactly what I was after!

I'll keep digging round. If i come across any thing that does any of A or B, Ill give you a shout.

I think it sad nowadays people don't share info as much as they used to, and I've not been a member for any where as long as you.

Thanks again for taking the time to help me out ;)

The boot screen from my previous ROM is still on my phone. I want the screen for my current ROM or the original HTC bootscreen.

How do I get either without having to flash the ROM over again.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Theres multiple parts to the bootup screen, a couple of which can be replaced via cab, but at least one has to be done through a flash (not a full ROM flash though, just a specific one like with a radio).

There's a thread right here on the front page of this section with full instructions on how to replace each of the multiple parts:

Thank you....although I dont want to actually create my own custom screen. I was hoping there was a way I could get the bootscreen for my current ROM.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
You can get the stock HTC one HERE in the first post.

Flash it exactly like a rom, but doesnt hard reset, so you dont lose anything.

It will survive a hard reset/new rom flash, unless the new rom is a stock one, as they contain their own.

[Desire General] gerardo66:
hi everyone

right

just bought desire unlocked from telstra shop and i need to debrand

i try so many ways no luck

is any simple way for newbe?

i'm happy to buy a goldcard from one of you guys if this is the problem

please help me

regards
[Desire General] tsekh501:
Follow this instruction to root and flash custom roms:

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...e-now-with-hboot-0-80-and-os-to-1-21-support/

In the beginning of that process you need to make a gold card, instruction can be found here

http://android.modaco.com/content/general-discussion/305672/creating-a-goldcard/

After everything is done, you should be able to flash whatever (compatible) rom you want. My recommendation is this

http://android.modaco.com/content/h...ustom-rom-for-htc-desire-with-online-kitchen/

I've done everything above on my Telstra branded Desire w/o any problem. So if you follow every step in the guides, it should go fine.
[Desire General] gerardo66:
hi

thank you for your reply and help i try that and give me

FAILED (remote:41 model id check fail)

i not sure what else i can do

are you far from perth? :)
[Desire General] mofoliar:
Me as well i get that same error i did upgrade when i 1st got the device not knowing about rooting! maybe the software i have in my sign. might be the issue... i was think about jumping ship to nexus one and go 2.2 on that device instead.. jump ship or wait it out?
[Desire General] tsekh501:
What is the HBOOT version and software version on your Telstra branded desire? Did you use download the correct files for your version of the Desire?

I did get a failure message the first time I did it (don't remember the details of message), but it has to do with my gold card. In the end I realized that I should be using my Desire as a card reader when copying the gold card image onto the SD card, and after doing it again with an independent card reader everything worked fine.
[Desire General] mofoliar:
H-boot 0.75.000

the software ver. is in my signature... i have tried doing the gold card multiple times and also using card reader 2 different types on 2 differ computers.. i am gonna wait for the 2.2 OTA hopefully or maybe jump ship on desire..
[Desire General] gerardo66:
same here

H-boot 75

i done two gold card which i think (done ok) not sure if we can test in anyway

i really need to change this telstra rom

what else i can try??
[Desire General] mutanti:
Will be considering doing same in future..

Anyone done a debranding to the telstra rom successfully as yet..

when is the 2.2 out will it be available to users threw telstra etc?
[Desire General] mofoliar:
yes when is it comin for telstra? i am about ready to jump ship to nexus one.. desire is nice but have to draw the line with branding crap... HURRY!
[Desire General] tsekh501:
I have no idea why the rooting process didn't work for you guys. My Telstra branded Desire came with 0.75 HBoot and 1.16 software, same as mofoliar's. I didn't have any problem rooting it following the guide, beside the gold card creation part, so I can say confidently that the root and debranding procedure I posted above does work.

You guys would be better off looking for help at the corresponding threads at modaco forum than whining about it here, as people who have more technical knowledge behind these procedures probably won't be looking at this thread.

Two thing I remember reading before I root my Desire:

1) Some people say that the above procedure may have problem on some machines with 64 bit Windows. But it worked perfectly fine on my desktop with Windows 7 64bit.

2) Not every SD card can be converted into a gold card. Mine is a Transend class 6 16GB microSDHC, if that helps.
[Desire General] winx199:
If you don't need root, you can just flash your phone in RUU way. But a goldcard is still needed.

hi tsekh501

what Rom version did your desire come with? was it from telstra? coz i just got mine today and its trying to downgrade the Rom and its not working. Getting errors like 130/140.

The link that you posted indicates for Rom version 1.1.5 or something but ours (telstra versions) are newer than listed.

any suggestions? Im sick of all the Telstra preloaded crap

Go read carefully everything I posted here and what was said in the link I posted. You can find the answer to every question you asked very easily just by reading those posts again.

Given that you can't even read part of the instruction regarding the software version correctly, I'm not surprised that it didn't for for you.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
This post is targeted towards all the leakers out there. If you're still looking for a Nexus One-style home replacement app, look no further than LauncherPro Beta. It has an app launcher drawer with a *very* smooth 3D fly-in effect, a la the Nexus One. Home screen scrolling stutter is also eliminated, and overall the app just flies performance-wise.

I'm sure many of you have heard of it; this thread is for the people who haven't. Please no flaming.

EDIT: You can also "pinch-zoom" the home screen to get a helicopter view - just like the Sense UI.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] sunder74:
Yeah its a decent little application, However you should probably post this in themes and apps as it doesn't relate to development. Not flaming just saying you posted in the wrong forum.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] ericFuels999:
I agree with you that it doesn't really belong here, but I was hoping to ward off a lot of the people complaining about not having root and how they can't make their phone look like a Nexus One. :-) Maybe my efforts are futile...
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] xatch:
I use LauncherPro on my Eris. I have one tip to throw out there for root users who want to use this... the app doesn't (yet) have a feature to customize what the dock icons do. And on a Sense-based ROM, you will probably be getting the HTC Messaging app by default with no way to switch it (at least that's what happened to me). That's fine if you use that, but I only use Handcent SMS, for example.

So I had to use ADB to rename /system/app/Mms.apk to Mms.bak... no adverse affects seen from that yet. Handcent took over automatically. Downside being you can't use the HTC app anymore unless you reverse the change.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] LexusBrian400:
Yeah all you have to do is remove Mms.apk and Browser.apk and you get handscent and xscope as defaults (if u have them installed of course). Not technically custom, but still what I wanted :)
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dianeofarcadia:
Try updating to his newest release. 0.2.0. I have mine themed and since his newest release on 5.19, my sms opens to chomp. should work with handscent as well, I have not deleted my default sms.

[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] vash8806:
I like...has anyone confirmed sense widgets working with it yet?
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] dianeofarcadia:
Sense Widgets do not appear as an option in adding onto the launcher pages.
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] iflip:
sense widgets will not work with launcherpro. it is a stock home replacement. only android widgets work. however, flip clock and weather widget is an app that mimics the htc flipclock. you have to install the ht7 theme for the flipclock and weather icons. looks identical. either that or beautiful widgets. there are no other apps created that mimic the rest of the widgets tho... yet. however there are a few android widgets that will suffice tho. use them to your own liking. I wish htc would create Senseui replacement app. Meaning, open source skinning for sense ui. its one of the main reasons why i rooted my phone. We all like the functionality of those widgets, but they wont make them open source. that would discourage many from rooting and voiding thier warranties. id pay for that app and themes as well!

yea, doesnt belong here:o, but launcherpro IS SWEET!!!!!!! :D
