So far, the only ones that I would consider absolutely safe for the Touch Pro is Diamond TouchFLO3D Config and Manila Customizer.

Does anyone have the time to make a list of which customizers are safe(r) for which devices?
Diamond TouchFLO3D -> Touch Pro
Manila Customizer -> Touch Pro
Advanced Config -> ?
? -> Touch Vogue (should be Manila2d, I'm pretty sure, but the TF3D editor seems to be working on the files. But then, I'm just dabbling with the graphics.)
etc....
Thanks

ps- BGT2L, you ARE the man!!! I love this thread!
pps- I haven't finished reading through the thread, so if someone already asked this question, I'm sorry for the rerun. But it is summer, after all, and 'tis the season for reruns.

Hi GT2L,

I'm sorry to be a "difficult customer" but would it be possible for you to create and put up a 3rd version which does everything BUT remove the Sprint TV Tab in TF3D? I'd like to make this my first alteration of my TP interface ever but for me that may be one step too far....

thanks so much for everything.

Sorry, but as I said in the first thread, I'm not making any changes to my packages. I just started a new job, so my time is going to be much more occupied for a while, and well... these theme edits are just not that fun to do on such a large scale, lol. I don't mind documenting quick changes, and I opened this thread in hopes that others would join in as well. You might try asking in the Touch Pro or Touch Diamond forums and linking back to here in hopes people might join in.

In the mean time, I would recommend using the Sprint Manila Blue (not revised) package, and then implementing the rest of the tweaks you want on your own... then, take all of the Manila files on your phone and zip them up into your own zip file for future use.

To deploy the changes you've made, all of the manila files go back onto the phone in the \Windows folder.

Hello,
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue. After installing the "Background On All Tabs" file, my calendar tab on my home screen in TF3D does not work anymore. I can still access the calendar from the start menu and whatever appointments I make show up on the calendar tab, I just can't open it up. I have isolated this problem down to this file. Any help would be appreciated!! Thanks for all the work GoodThings!!

First, is there anything special about the manila XML files with regard to line endings or character encoding? My very minor changes keep the internet tab from loading anything at all. I have retried enough times now that I know for sure that I am not breaking syntax, and that my file paths are legit. Curiously, I opened the backup file in my editor, saved it without making any changes, and placed that one in the /windows folder. When I re-launched TF3D. I saw the same effect -- nothing at all on the internet tab.

Second, does anyone have a script (mort or ?) they could share that performs:
shutdown tf3d
replace manila file _x_ from storage card
restart tf3d
soft reset (perhaps)

I've run into a very slight snag... In the communications manager (settings> communications) when I click wifi, I get a wait cursor like the phone is doing something, but wifi doesn't get enabled.

When I goto my system settings to enable wifi, it works fine. When I go back into the comm manager, it appears that wifi is off when it's on.

Any suggestions?
