I still cannot get the background to change.. I swiped down.. and went thru all the Wallpaper settings. B, P, F H and still cannot find that wallpaper.. Am i supposed to install sumthing other than the cloudsgrass cab to get that wallpaper?? and i also did not find that clock anywhere i scrolled through all of those as well??

This is step by step what i did so far..
Flashed the energy leo rom MaxManilla 21892.
Installed the transperant top and bottom cab..
installed clouds grass..
soft reset
swiped down to get maxmanilla settings
and tried all different possible settings for |"Wallpaper" and "Clock"


Thanks again!

going to test wallpaper now on my device....
that clock is actually updated on the new max manila
i will find the older analog clock and post it....

alright....here is all you have to do.

remove the could/grass HD wallpaper

from the manila home screen, click menu (on bottom).....home wallpaper...portrait wallpaper and choose whatever you like...
i have attached the clouds/grass

YOU SHOULD NOW SEE THAT WALLPAPER ON YOUR HOME SCREEN AND ALL TABS.
NOW TASKBAR SKINNING

download MaxTTM 4.1 from post 4 from link below
[APP] (UPDATE:4Oct) Max TF3D Theme Maker v4.1

install to device and run MAxTTM

on the tabs at the bottom go right till you see WM6.5
component drop box should say both (top and bottom taskbars)
change method dropbox should say wallpaper.

THAT WILL SKIN YOUR TOP AND BOTTOM BARS...

btw....MaxTTM will do many things...you should check it out.

I have some Manila 2.5 features questions (particularly when used on top of WM 6.5!):

SOFTWARE:
Contact Groups:
As I hinted at before I have a million contacts to manage and the single most compelling feature about WinMo 6.5 for me is the ability to use Contact Groups. Is this new feature well integrated into the People/Contacts interface of SenseUI/TouchFlo3D?
If it is not, is there some other free & recommended 3rd party program that will let me group contacts for SMS or Email?

Search/Copy+Paste:
Likewise for searching info within contacts in order to add them into groups - has Search been improved in 6.5 and is it better integrated into SenseUI/TouchFlo3D?
And within a contact card, though the new HTC interface looks nice, I can't find a way to copy/paste the information there - I use this feature all the time to txt a contact's phone or address to another person - what's the best way to grab and send that info in SenseUI/TouchFlo3D?

Facebook:
Another compelling feature of SenseUI/TouchFlo3D is the linkage of a Contact with a corresponding Facebook profile. I REALLY WANT THIS FEATURE. However, pre-upgrade this feature is a major disappointment - all it can do is add a photo and birthday, and in fact I tested it and the birthday part is broken. It has an Updates & Events section within the contact card, but Facebook info (which info I wonder?) does not update there at all. All it can do is update the photo. LAME! It should pull phone & email from Facebook, and current status too!
Has this been fixed in the 6.5 update? If not, is there some other free & recommended 3rd party program that will let me integrate like this?

Calendar/Contact Syncing:
What is the best way to do this? Ideally wirelessly with Gmail & Facebook, rather than having to plug it in and sync with Outlook via the USB cable.

Voicemail:
Is there any way to restore those Voice Mail Buttons (on the Treo 700wx it was under Today->Speed Dial Options->Voicemail->Menu->Edit->Advanced)? That feature makes flying through VM so much faster! Maybe it comes with a package (if it exists) to restore Picture Speed Dial?

TP2 vs Treo Pro:
Keyboard & Word Completion:
Damn I really miss the Treo700wx keyboard - Treo Pro is slightly too small & TP2 is slightly too large for my hands. The Treo Pro has excellent word completion however (configurable under Setting->Input->Word Completion), this really enables me to type faster on the Pro. The TP2 does NOT have this feature though! Also slowing me down on the TP2, or rather missing from the SenseUI/TouchFlo3D interface is the lack of 1-Letter Shortcuts to jump to commonly used program names or items in long menus.
Is there any free & recommended 3rd party program that will provide word completion or 1-Letter Shortcuts on the TP2? Maybe there is an updated virtual keyboard for SenseUI/TouchFlo3D that features this?

From all these feature requests you can guess - I'd jump to WebOS or Android or even iPhone in a heartbeat, if I wasn't so attached to SERO on Sprint

Any further advice and links to the appropriate ROMs or CABS would be very much appreciated!

whew, I thought I knew a lot about my diamond but when it comes to building ROMs and learning about Kitchen differences, I have a lot to learn! Just wanted to say give a HUGE THANKS to bignadad for these wonderful tutorials you have created!! I have a lot of time to spend here now.

Hey Big, since your making a CHT version available, can you add some how to info on changing backgrounds using HDwalls for CHT?

Hey BIG,... Xpressyourcell has that nice Ying and Yang Blue & White clock going for him. When I had "Sprint Lovers Rom" it worked perfect. But now I have the new Mighty Rom "SE". When I tried to install it it didnt even show on the screen. Is there another cab or any way that I can get this clock to work on the Mighty Rom "SE"? I am using Cookie 1.7.1
