I am discontinuing work on this theme. Its too glitchy and documentation is horrid and I cannot find a cause or solution to the crashing when SMS and email messages are deleted (and sometimes when they are received too).

I don't see any way for me to isolate and resolve the problem and w/o that working properly, this theme is useless IMHO.

If anyone wants to download the modules as they are and take the work further, have at it with my blessing.

I will be upgraded to Windows Phone 7 as soon as they have a usable IM client that can connect to AIM.

These are tweaks, widgets, and enhancements that I have made or compiled for use with the Windows Phone 7 v.2 Theme for ThrottleLauncher by Fireslave.

You can check out the original theme and required files here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859799

I have many more widgets, tweaks, and other modifications planned out and I will update this thread as I have time to work on them (see post 5 for the current To Do list).

I would love getting some feedback on these changes and suggestions for further improvements I could make or new widgets that I could add so let me know if you've got an idea for something that would improve this great theme.

New / Customized Widgets

MODs / Widgets sourced from other authors:

Clock Widget

- This is derived from the clock widget from HeadHunter2009's SenseUI mods for this theme (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=880727). It displays the time and battery status and takes you to the Time/Alarms screen when pressed.

Mail Widget

- This is derived from the email widget by pth6 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9580766&postcount=43). For a description of what this mod does see post 2 above.

Mail Widget Settings

- This is derived from the email widget settings provided by defante (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924182). It allows you to set the max number of emails displayed.

SMS Widget

- This is derived from the SMS widget by pth6 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9580766&postcount=43). For a description of what this mod does see post 2 above.

SMS Widget Settings

- This is derived from the SMS widget settings provided by defante (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=924182). It allows you to set the max number of SMS messages displayed.

Task Manager Widget

- This is derived from the Task Manager widget by pth6 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9580766&postcount=43). I have added a nicer styled header, tweaked the page to work with my notification bar mod (see post 2 for more details on my notification bar mod), and moved the 'Tap here to free memory' button to the bottom of the page with the icon showing and its background the same as other bottom of screen menu items and I've increased the size of the fonts for program titles. For more info and screenshots of what this mod does see post 2 above.

Weather Widget

- This is derived from the Weather widget by pth6 (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9580766&postcount=43). This modification implements the colorful icons provided by DavidinCT (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10002636&postcount=281) and adjusts formatting a bit. For more info and screenshots of what this mod does see post 2 above.

FAQ

FAQs:

1)

Q = I can't find the ThrottleLauncher settings! What did you do?!?

A = From the home page, open the bottom menu bar, click the 4th icon (gear), this brings you to the Setting screen, go to the last option on the General page.

2)

Q = Everytime I load the theme ThrottleLauncher crashes and I can't use it. What happened?

A = This is common from what I can tell. Just uninstall ThrottleLauncher from Remove Programs, make sure your ThrottleLauncher folder is completely gone. Then, reinstall ThrottleLauncher. Install FireSlave's WP7 theme (COPY THE FILES FROM YOUR PC TO THE DEVICE MEMORY, DO NOT STORE IT ON THE SD CARD), then apply my mods, configure ThrottleLauncher, reboot your phone and then customize your home page.

3)

Q = You took away my hard coded shortcuts from the top of the Programs list! You bastard! Give them back!!

A = Yes, I did remove those hard coded links but you can now click on the + symbol (top right corner) on the Programs page and choose your own list of favorite shortcuts to have at the top of the list.

4)

Q = The 1st spot for a picture to appear on the 1st page of Pictures is always blank.

A = I'm not sure why this is happening just yet but I am working to resolve it. All of your pictures will show up, but the 1st spot of the 1st page is not being filled for some reason. If anyone can shed some light, please let me know.

5)

Q = Did you write this theme or the widgets you include?

A = No. Fireslave made the theme and many other users have made some of the great hubs/mods/tiles that I then proceeded to modify to suit my needs and fix bugs that I've found. I have provided links and proper credit to the original authors in the 1st and 3rd posts. If you find that I missed someone or something, please PM me so I can make it right.

6)

Q = What if I take one of your MODs and improve it, fix a bug, or tweak it a little? How can I share this with everyone?

A = The ideal way would be for you to PM me about it so I can incorporate it (I may or may not do this depending on if I like your MOD and find it stable to use) and add a post to this forum to let other users know about it.

7)

Q = OOOOHH OOOHHH, I have an idea, it's a good one! Do it! Do it now!

A = If you've got an idea for another MOD, widget, or way to improve what I've already done, PM me about it, I love getting feedback. I may or may not like your idea so don't be hurt if I don't run with it, but in most cases I'm happy to provide something you'll find useful.

8)

Q = ThrottleLauncher crashes sometimes when I delete SMS or email messages.

A = I am still trying to figure out why TL crashes when SMS and emails are deleted (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). Unfortunately I have had no luck. So if anyone can please help figure out what it is and pass that information along I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried email mods made by other users but theirs have the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
To Do List

TO DO:

People Page:

1) Make the add/remove favorite toolbar only visible on the 1st page or change the toolbar's items depending on what page is being viewed.

Pictures Page:

1) Add new 1st page for Tasks with 'take a picture', 'make a video', 'open album viewer', or 'open MYPHOTOSITEHERE.COM' (replacing MYPHOTOSITEHERE.COM with whatever description is entered for a web url that will trigger the default browser to that page). The 2nd page will list the photo thumbnails as it currently does.

2) Fix problem when viewing pictures, the 1st picture spot is empty (but only on the first page)

Programs page:

1) Add top, bottom, page up and page down functionality to easily navigate large programs list

General:

1) Show next appointment on Clock widget

2) Isolate and resolve cause of random shutdowns of ThrottleLauncher (especially noticeable when deleting text messages and emails)

I am still trying to figure out why TL crashes when SMS and emails are deleted (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't). Unfortunately I have had no luck. So if anyone can please help figure out what it is and pass that information along I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried email mods made by other users but theirs have the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
People, email, and SMS mods updated and full widget and mod pack uploaded. See posts 2 and 3 for details and downloads.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
so do i just copy the contents of the zip into the fireslaves theme folder
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
in regarding your email mod, where do i install the image folder, within the wp7mail folder, or within the setup folder ...
[Windows Mobile Themes] XdaSubzer0:
How To install??

No install instructions. (Noobs)
[Windows Mobile Themes] DavidinCT:
He seems to have formated it for just extract and dump.... Pretty easy over all

Extract the files in a folder on your harddrive.

Connect your phone to PC

Open Windows explorer

Browse your deivce to

Program files\Throttlelauncher\Setups\Windowsphone7_2\

Copy the files/folders that you extracted right into that folder.

When asked, select overwrite and merge folders.

Restart throttle launcher on your phone to see the changes
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
on your first screen shots, you have a chat and a facebook tile/hub, how did you go about doing that, the closest thing i did was create a shortcut tile for facebook, but the icon is really small
[Windows Mobile Themes] XdaSubzer0:
thanks and thanks for the speedy reply!
[Windows Mobile Themes] MTom:
Hi

this is a very good job thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] Corwen:
Really great stuff

It actually got the weather app working for me as well

I'm excited to see what you do with the SMS and E-mail hubs

The only problem that I'm having is with the WM Taskbar. It seems it's too large and moves the whole theme down just a bit, so I'm unable to tap on the three dot icon for the settings.

If theres a way I could revert to the WP7 Theme taskbar that would be perfect
[Windows Mobile Themes] MTom:
Hi

the alarm time could not be display the hour under ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yup. I will be posting detailed instructions in just a bit to make sure its clear and easy for anyone wanting to use them.

[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yes, I will be posting WM7 notification bar versions today or tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I found a Metro style icon pack (forget where) and created a shortcut tile to the Facebook app and then editing the widget.xml file to set the custom icon. There is also a Facebook WM7 styled page that is available but I've had some issues with it that I'm trying to resolve before posting.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
It probably can. I'll look into that. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Installation instructions have been posted under each mod on the 1st page.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I have uploaded versions of the mods/widgets that are for use with the WM7 notification bar that comes with the theme.

Please try them out and let me know if you find any problems.

Thanks for your support and feedback everyone. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] yayyay:
Great work codeconqueror! I want to say thanks for putting a nice package together.

I had a question. Is there supposed to be a weather xml file in your pages folder? I'm curious because my weather is working on the homescreen but once I click on it I get nothing but a black screen.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hugulugu:
didn´t work on my at&t pure, ThrottleLauncher with fireslave´s theme works fine, but when i install your mod ThrottleLauncher don´t start, i´ve installed everything from my pc 2 o 3 times and nothing seem to work, any idea? :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
only thing ive found so far nnow that i have it working is when i go to the settings page

it will only let me change stuff in the general section ...i cant scroll to the themes pages

or any other of the settings pages
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Nothing I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm going to run a few tests and post a new batch of updates later today or tomorrow (several more enhancements have been made). We'll see if that takes care of it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Weird, I don't get that problem, but I believe it has to do with a naming conflict for some of the items on the people.xml file. I am working on an updated version of the mods and mod pack and should have it uploaded today or tomorrow. Lets see if that fixes it for you.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yes, there is supposed to be a weather.xml file in the Pages folder.

I have attached my copy of the weather.xml file if you need it. The weather details are working just fine for me (except for the satellite/radar screen is always black).
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Posted updates for all modules and added some new enhancements.

This should resolve all known issues such as problems with the Settings page and I have uploaded WM 7 theme notification bar versions of all mods.

Try them out and let me know how it works.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
yep that fixed it coool
[Windows Mobile Themes] defante:
I tried the email page. I don't know if it's just me, but if i open an unread email from the hub and then delete it, TL will crash.

It might be a bug with TL and not the page or theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] DavidinCT:
You know what, the map file is still downloaded on your phone ! I assumed the it was black was because it did not download the map. After playing last night (so I got the cool home tile) I checked this out a little. Maybe it's not connecting someplace ?

When I click update, the image appears to be updated.

The map file when it's updated appears here

\program files\Throttlelauncher\Plugins\Weather.com\map.png

BTW...

Did you do any changes on the SMS page ? Just wondering if it's just pth6's just tweaked a little. I guess I was looking for a little more updated and when typing a text with the bubbles like WP7...
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I believe its either a problem with TL or the base theme. I frequently have TL crash when opening things like the Games hub or Pictures hub or, like you, deleting an email or sms message while on that page.

I haven't found anything wrong in the XML files that could account for it, so it must be something in TL or main theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Ok, thanks. I'll look into the weather widget issue.

As to SMS, the only thing I've added is the nicer header and a small number indicator to tell you how many unread messages you have.

I would LIKE to implement the bubble chat style of WM7 as well as a few other features for that page but its going to take me a little more time to get stuff like that done.

My current big project for this is a 'whats new' page that pulls in from facebook, twitter, sms, email, and call history. But, that's a bigger project that will probably take me a couple of weeks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] anesh01:
is it possible for you to share the xml file for the facebook shortcut that is seen in your first post screen shot. or how to resize the icon to make it the size of the hub
[Windows Mobile Themes] MTom:
Hi

sms me to also crash if I delete the pages of incoming sms
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Sure. I'll try to post it sometime this weekend.

The What's New/Facebook page is almost ready. Its based off the page/widget done by duhhh (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10010797&postcount=282).
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I'm trying to look into this to see if I can find a fix. It happens to me even with the base theme and the original versions of those pages/widgets.
[Windows Mobile Themes] yung18:
no packages working

Neither of the wp7allmod .zip files work for me. I have tried numerous times to make them work but for some strange reason they refuse to. Any way you can keep each individual moded page seperate so i can see if i can isolate the problem to one specific file? Your mods sound amazing. I installed your mods thru the pc activesync connection and did everything that I usually do. The base theme works tho. On a side note I am running energy 29196 sys 29007 on a tp2. I think it may be a small problem with the google translate dll but i am not sure. Thanks for continuing pht6's work.

After installing some modded pages for googletranslate into the TL base widgets file The theme now loads. Weather is still a problem (results in a blankpage) but I look forward to trying to fix that small issue.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok something new now

all of a sudden i have no people pages it doesnt even show up in the all programs list
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
lol got the people pages worked out now im getting the crash when deleteing texts messages
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yes, the 2nd post has all the mods individually packaged.

Let me know if you find anything.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yeah, lots of people are (I've been having it even w/o this mod applied). I'm investigating it to see if I can figure out what the cause is. The same thing happens with emails.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
hmmms im getting ready to flash a new rom

i will see what happens and let you know
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok on new rom it does it sometimes not all the time
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yeah, there's definitely something wrong, I'm just trying to figure out the root cause. I could be a problem in ThrottleLauncher or a problem with Fireslave's theme. Not sure yet.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Fireslave:
Nice work ;) !!
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
ok i just reinstalled everything from scratch and here is what i found

when i add your mods TL crashes when deleteing text messages

i added Trekfans people pages mod from his new thread i just added it overtop of everything else

and it no longer crashes when delete texts
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yeah, I've made a new version of the people, message, and email pages and I no longer get crashes when deleting text messages or emails.

I'm going to run some more testing before I post the updates though.

Thanks for the feedback.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I've got the weather issue fixed. The XML file was pointing to the wrong image file. I'm in the process of running tests so I will update the downloads once I'm confident with the changes after a few days.
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Extract the attached .ZIP file, then edit the widget.xml file in notepad.

Change the following line:

<icon X="24" Y="16" width="48" height="48" path="\My Documents\My Pictures\Icons\Metro\Facebook.png" />

Replace '\My Documents\My Pictures\Icons\Metro\Facebook.png' with the path to the icon you want to show.

Then, change the following line:

<action execute="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet\XDAFacebook.lnk" parameters="" />

Replace '\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet\XDAFacebook.lnk' with the path to your Facebook application of choice.

Finally, copy the folder to the 'Program Files\ThrottleLauncher\Setups\WindowsPhone7_2\Widgets' folder and restart ThrottleLauncher (or reboot your phone) and add the new widget just like you do with the others (Home page -> bottom menu bar -> + button).

If you want to make any other custom program tiles, just add them like normal (they will use the default text and icon). Then, edit the XML file for that widget in the same way. This way you can have any programs you want on your home screen with the icon and text of your choice.

Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
for the mail widget can we get it to say gmail or yahoo not just hotmail. also at the order list dialog page you spelled cancel wrong. it says "ok/cancle."
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
cool will be waiting

and your welcome
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yes, I will fix the hard coded hotmail display but 'cancle' is not my spelling. I didn't design that page, I just used what came with the theme, lol.

I'll see if I can find a way to fix it for the next release though. :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] s-droid:
Help solve the problem, when installing the original theme, everything works. When you install mods (copied from the PC contents of the archive to a folder with the theme of the replacement) The theme is no longer displayed. Everything hangs on the "Throttle Launcher started Displaying"
[Windows Mobile Themes] tejeskifly:
I have same probleme :/

I just install the wp7 theme

I install tl, with winrar uncompress the wp7 skin folder to pc, and directly copy to the installation folder, after i download the WP7TL_AllMods_WM7NotBar.zip with same method. (uncompress to pc with winrar, and directly copi tu thr folder.)
[Windows Mobile Themes] hugulugu:
me too :(

i'm using an energy rom in my topaz/at&T pure, and every time it´s the same: i install TL, then i install the original theme, after that i install the mods and TL doesn´t display again :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] tejeskifly:
Hmm im using energy rom on my toch pro 2.

It is poddible, the rom is the problem?
[Windows Mobile Themes] yayyay:
I use energy rom on my touch pro and TL launches fine with these mods, so I don't think it is the rom.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tejeskifly:
Hmm, i today upgrate my rom, to last version, and i have this problem with old rom, and with the new rom. The roms are different build.

I realy don't know whats wrong with my phone :/
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
I will be posting a new version of the MODs with many new features and some bug fixes that may (or may not) help with this. It works perfectly on my HD2 using EnergyROM 29007 build.
[Windows Mobile Themes] tejeskifly:
don't work for me...
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
You caught me in the middle of doing the updates, lol.

Just hang tight. Try again in about 30 minutes. ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
All MODs have been updated and MANY new features added. Check post 2 on page 1 for updated screen shots and a list of changes that were made.

Please check the FAQ on Page 1 if you are having any trouble getting your theme to load.

I have removed the individual MOD downloads because it was too much work to keep each MOD separate and provide separate versions of each of them for WM 7 or WM 6 notification bar so I am distributing this as 2 pack, 1 for WM 6 notification bar (like the screen shots on page 1) or WM 7 notification bar that comes with the theme.

I have also posted several recommended MODs / Themes / Apps on page 1 which help complete the Windows Phone 7 look and feel for your phone.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:
cool looks great

still problems with messaging now it closes tl before i can

even delete the message

hmmmmms
[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Try the instructions found in FAQ number 2 on the first page (FAQs).

Let me know if any problems continue after that.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:

[Windows Mobile Themes] tejeskifly:
Thanks now work, but every new tile put into center.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Kameirus:

[Windows Mobile Themes] codeconqueror:
Yes, you will need to reposition your tiles back to your desired spots.

would it be possible to cab all the mods up in one nice package to eliminate or at least minimize the errors or problems people are having installing this ??
