I have made sure the folder on both the phone and my PC are set to show all files, because I previously could not see all the manila files. Is there something else I need to set? Thanks!

I got that error too, when i was doing it from PC to phone. I did the zip process and then opened it from Total Commander on the phone, selected all files, and copied to windows folder....worked like a charm.

FlipClock_White.zip can be found on the first page of this thread. Just wondering does that clock show the same behavior as the GSM version of HTC Pro i.e. does the clock flip from 0:00 to the current time every time the user moves from any other tab to the home tab??

If not, can you please tell me how can this be done?

Thank you in advance. I'll be so grateful to you if I can get this to work.

For some reason the files for the background on all tabs and/or the glass clock is officially messing up my clock!
It installs fine, i have TF3ddisabled, install it, enable tf3d, and my clock flips like crazy & goes to 12:59AM and stays there, never changes, and it makes my date Jan 1, 2009 and puts T-mobile in the corner.

Anyone know what Im doing wrong?

Ive uninstalled all those cabs from the program list, redid my files i changed. and still - 12:59!!

I did some more searching and found that i had to install some things. So I re-installed my default theme with the Diamond App,
- disabled tf3d
- installed my manilla files, reset
- installed sprint flip clock, reset
- installed background all tabs, reset
- installed the background fix, reset
- installed another fix I found, reset
- installed glass clock, reset

AND YES YES YES! MY clock was back and in working order. But it's black, not green - I'll work on that a lot later....but for now, I am so pleased!! But I have GOT to change that message bubble...too bright!!!

Check me out!!

Now you can install any flip clock you want and it will work.. you just had to do the Sprint2flip first.

I want to use the VZW base theme as my template. Where are the ******_manila files located to do such a thing?

EDIT: Nvm, looks like they are in the Windows root

Thanks! It was actually your instructions I found under another thread. I'm so happy with my phone now - and I can't wait to make more things and find icons and hook it up!!

You eenieMINI are an official FULLY!!!

I'm just sharing what I've pieced together from trial and error and searching for answers. =D>

I can't seem to find the mobile device within Total Commander...I can't get higher than C: in the directories...probably a stupid question, but...
