HOW TO: Customize TouchFLO3D / Manila Themes

[eenieMINI]

Try doing this with touchflo3d disabled first.. .start/settings/today/items uncheck tf3d then click OK/X and you should be able to overwrite your files.

Thanks for your reply eenieMINI. I had thought to try that, I even went so far as to reboot the device after disabling TF3D, but I still could not over-write these files.

hmmm can you attach the files zipped up here and I'll cab them for you. That should do it.

Here you go, sorry it took me so long, the day got away from me...


Also, I realized another easier way that new users might want to try.. check out chainfire's gui editor on xda diamond forums. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798

If you connect your phone to your pc via usba cable/active sync mode (you don't have to actually sync it just use that mode rather than diskmode) you can then open the above program and import your device manila and edit and replace. You can also replace the device manila striaght away..so you'd take your unzipped files (in a folder on desktop/laptop) and then go to device/import and then select that folder. The program shuts down manila, overwrites files, and restarts manila for you with a single click! of course this method is limited to graphic manila files only so it wouldn't completely fix your issue as some of your files were not graphic.

That being said, here are the cab files I promised you.. you realized you can't use both together.. I'm thinking/hoping you put the sprint clock there to reset your manila if you've changed yoru mind on the other flip clock...

eenieMINI, you totally ROCK!!! The cab worked perfectly and now I can see my background image without that annoying solid digital clock blocking it! I can't for the life of me figure out why my device wouldn't allow me to overwrite those files, I never had that problem with my old Touch Vogue. Anyway, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Glad it worked!!

Hi.

I have been searching and searching for days now - and I'm not the only one
I would so much appreciate if anybody could explain how I can get IE to be the default browser from Manila. So when I press the Globe - IE opens. It's the same question as posted in post #116 and #257 - but no one seems to know the answer. Please help
