THEME FOR STANDARD TF3D ( DO NOT INSTALL ON DUTTYS ROM )

This is my first post here. Thought I share this wt you all. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank some folks here which has made this possible. Below is a complete dump of my post in modaco link.

PLEASE READ INSTRUCTION HERE BEFORE INSTALLING

Here it is.....the complete TF3D package for your Touch HD. This theme has a fully functional analog, a working mini-flipclock, extended appointments, all 15 tabs and wallpaper can be updated with a press of a button for all background. The bottom bar opacity has been fixed. It is now 100% solid and I have done the same for the top bar as well.

Operator text now works. Read further below.

I apologize for the earlier mistake that during the rush of releasing this, I've overlooked and messed up some files. My intention here is to enable a fully customizable TF3D theme for everybody. So, pls read carefully and follow each instruction to get to the theme that you desire.

FIRST STEP......RESET TO ORIGINAL THEME FIRST
If you do not do this, there's no guarantee that this theme will work properly

Reseting To Original Theme Guide
Thks a million to Blessed HD. Here's the easy way to reset back to your default theme. Install Diamond TF3D Config program. You can find it in XDA. Go to the "Appearance" Tab and do a restore to default. It will automatically delete all the manila and related files.

PLS CHECK THAT YOUR ORIGINAL THEME WORKS FINE BEFORE GOING TO THE NEXT STEP!!

Installation Guide
It is not easy to make everybody happy but the closest I can do is to allow you to choose what to install. I have now broken down the key components that you need to install step by step. Drop whatever you don't want and only select those that you need. Below is a list of files and their description.

To install these files, simply copy the cab to anywhere on your mobile and click on it. Soft reset afterwards. Should you have any difficulty re-installing after multiple times, go to \windows\appmgr and delete the folder "Max Your Application Name".

1. Max Complete TF3D - Main.cab
This is the main file which will give you the analog clock, extended appointments and changeable wallpaper. The number of tabs remain as the original 11 tabs. This will the basic of my theme. You will still need to download the analog clock package which I will make available. In future, I will also create different configuration theme so that when you are bored wt this, you can always change to another look.

Remember to go and download the analog clock package to complete the theme. I have attached one analog clock package for you here. There's a selection of analog clocks on my modaco link.

NEXT, select a wallpaper to fill up the background. Go to your SETTINGS tab and choose a wallpaper ( anyone that you like ). There are already some default wallpapers that comes along with your phone.

That should complete the whole installation!!

Below are some pictures of how the theme configuration looks like. More theme configuration will come later.


AGAIN, DO NOT GO TO THE NEXT STEP UNTIL THIS PORTION WORKS FINE FOR YOU!!!

NEW UPDATE : Operator text has been solved.....finally. It now works perfectly and refreshed realtime. All cabs have been updated with this fix since 15Feb except for the main cab. Since some of you preferred to have your own text up there, I will leave the current main cab available.

----------------------------------------

2. Max Complete TF3D - 15Tabs.cab

THERE HAS BEEN REPORTS THAT THIS MAY NOT BE WORKING PROPERLY IN SOME PHONE CONFIGURATION. IF YOU ARE REALLY DYING FOR THIS, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK. SHOULD IT FAIL, RESTORE YOUR PHONE BACK TO ORIGINAL WITH THE ABOVE RESTORE METHOD.

This cab will extend your tabs to a total of 15. Even without installing the Main cab, you should get the additional 15 tabs minus all the goodies that you get with the main. Additional tabs added are as below.<br />
a. Calendar
b. Sound Setting
c. Call History
d. Comms-Manager

-----------------------------------------

3. Max Complete TF3D - Main Config 2.cab
If you are already bored with the original main theme, here's another one for you to play with. You can install this cab with or without the main.cab. Here's a pic of how it looks like.


------------------------------------------

4. Max Complete TF3D - Main Config 3.cab
Another configuration with optimized space for a slightly larger analog clock. Clock position now swapped. Date placed on titlebar. All analog clocks on goodies section should work. You can install this cab with or without main.cab


------------------------------------------

5. Max Complete TF3D - Ultimate Theme
This theme is an enhancement of the main.cab theme. It has the same positioning as the main.cab but with an additional feature and one easter egg.
1. You can now edit your own text on the top left corner. Default "My Touch HD". To change the text, pls refer to my tutorial in my modaco link.
2. Operator text works perfectly on your top right corner.
3. Analog clock will trigger your alarm settings.

Easter egg - Your analog clock can move by press+hold on it. However, I could not make it to stick after releasing. If anyone manage to find a way, pls let me know . Only way to get it back on position is to relaunch your TF3D or soft reset.

The "Ultimate Theme - Basic" cab only changes the settings for those who wants to setup their own theme entirely. You will need to add your own analog clocks, etc.

However, to further enhance the theme, I have released another cab which I named "Ultimate Blue Theme.cab". Unfortunately, I do not know why I could not upload the cab here. So, you will have to download from my modaco link.

In this cab, I've changed the bars and bubbles to blue and add a new transparent clock with blue tip and white on transparent flipclock. I did not touch the taskbar and tabs icons as this is very much a personal taste and it will be very difficult to please everyone. So, I would rather let you customize yourself.

In addition, I have selected some of my favourite wallpapers which will be installed on your \storage card\max wallpaper folder. By using the "Diamond Background Changer Installer", you can now automatically cycle your wallpapers over a periodic time through all your tabs. The installation process is as below.

1. Download and install "Diamond Background Changer Installer". ( could be anywhere on your phone )
2. Startup the Diamond program. Change the folder destination to : \storage card\max wallpapers\
3. You can also set periodic time here. Press "Schedule" to activate it once. Then exit.
4. Now install the "Ultimate Blue Theme.cab" on your device. (Cab can be uninstalled ). Soft reset.
5. After re-boot, your theme should look like below screen and your wallpaper will cycle through based on the periodic time that you set.

PROBLEM REPORTING
Should you come across any problems ( I suggest you chk thoroughly by following my instruction above first ) before you post them. If you did, pls consider sending a screen or more information or else it is very difficult for me to fix the problem if I don't see it myself.

GOODIES
I am slowly putting up goodies like analog clocks, flipclocks and others packages for you to dress up the theme. You can download frm the modaco link above.

[berkut_g]

could you please upload cabs here also ?

[mcowly]

Thanks, the analog clock looks really nice!!
Could you explain to me how I can change back to my provider name in the right top corner (now it says: my Touch HD).

Thx!

[mcowly]

Furthermore, how to remove the theme??
It doesn't show up in "remove programs" :S

Hi.
I installed it and it looks very nice but i have one Problem. After Softreset i cannot change something in CommManager Tab. I cannot turn on WiFi etc. After Pressing Menu and then go to Wifi Menu and turn it on Wifi turns on and then i am able to change everything in Comm Manager Tab. Perhaps you can explain it.

Would it be possible to apply just the clocks? I don't really want the rest of the theme but the clocks look nice.

[sitaniace]

thanks great work,specialy the orginal htc theme

[darklord69]

WOW... thnx Maxycy!!! You sure did something amazing for us

Your analog and flip clock works great on my HD (CHT HK ROM)

It works great with my still under-construction "Metal Glass" theme and taskbar (which on-hold for 3-months, that's another story )

Keep up you great work mate

[maxycy]

Most of the issues mentioned so far has been addressed.....I hope

As for the future, there's plan to only release clocks and other things minus all the other files. That's the whole reason for this as you can now more or less customize your own theme to your own liking.

Ok...I call it a day for now.

[kg4ever]

yeah, i love the clock most too~~is there any way i can just install the cloak?
