Max TF3D Theme Maker v2.0

There's a lot of confusion about what this app supposed to do. It is not a graphic editor which modifies your theme graphics but an app which basically captures graphic components and store them for your later use. Take for example you have installed a theme and you like some part of the theme, you can actually capture these components and then deploy them on top of other themes or rather re-make your own theme based on which components that you like.

As long as you have some understanding wt regards to TF3D components, you can actually use this tool for all TouchFLO 3D mobile, although I guess it is also possible to be used for M2D as well. For now, I have only tested this on Touch HD.

I am still working on accessing DLL files which is essential on components like taskbar icons. Although I could kill all processes to allow copy of these files, I somehow figure that there should be a better way of doing this. This will be updated on newer version.

First off, let's see what's in store for version 2. I have basically revamped the layout and optimzed all codes. It has now shrinked down to 50kb. In the main installation package, you will only have the basic files needed to run the program. I will have seperate installations released for some pre-made components (for eg analog clocks and layouts for specific TF3D ).

DEFINITION
Component - groups of graphics or settings. You can define any files associated with this group. It can be a simplistic component like your slider graphic which consists only one file or an entire theme consists of many graphics and settings files.

Items - subset of a component. Take for example you have created a component called flip clock ( this includes the look for digit and background). There are altogether 6 files for this component and you want to have different configuration like transparent background with white digit or the original black digit on white background. These can be saved as items and then later deployed to the theme.

FEATURES
1. Up to 100 components and unlimited items can be stored
2. Backup utilities ( for current and original theme )
3. Edit your own components
4. Timer function which automatically deploy random components to your theme over a set time interval.

HOW TO OPERATE ( PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS )







CUSTOMIZE
This is where you deploy your components. If you have captured components from previous themes, you can now see it on the combolist on top. Different from the previous version, where you have buttons and components layout on seperate tabs. In this format, it allows me to have unlimited items for each components.

1. Use the combolist to select the component.
2. On the below list, select the items that you want to deploy.
3. Keep on selecting the combolist as it will remember all your previous component selection.
4. Press DEPLOY when you are ready.
5. Go to MENU/TODAY REFRESH to update your theme ( if it does not work, just SOFT RESET ).

CAPTURE

This is where you capture/delete your items for any component groups that you have set in EDITOR. For eg, I have some nice tab icons currently installed. If you already have this component created through the EDITOR, then you can capture theme here.

1. Use the component combolist to select which component group you want to capture.
2. To create new items, select on the item combolist "NEW". You can overwrite existing items as well.
3. Type in the name of the items you want to catpure.
4. By default, the items will be capture from \Windows\ directory. If you have to get it from other path, press LOAD FOLDERS which will allows you to see other subfolders within Windows itself where you can select.
5. Press CAPTURE when you have all the settings put correctly.
6. There's a DELETE button which also allows you to delete existing items.

EDITOR
For the newbie, this could be quite complicated. You will need to know which files affects what on your mobile and not that many people will know. I will release some preset components for your use going forward. However, if you know what you are doing, it is very simple. Take for example, if I want to create a analog clock group ( including clock hand ), there will be 3 files that will affect this; 0d27217a_manila, 7dfbb65d_manila and 248a6b8d_manila. Check this while creating the component and it will create a list file where the CAPTURE function will utilize to capture the items.

1. When you first go to the EDITOR, press BUILD LIST.
2. The first time you use it, it's going to take quite a long time as it will read all files from Windows and then start to build a list. Once the list has been build, it will be faster ( not that fast as there are more than 6k files in windows alone ).
3. Use the components combolist to select the component that you want, the list will update the checkboxes when you select them. Use "NEW" if you want to create new component or edit the existing one.
4. If you intend to create "NEW" components, select the combolist with "NEW" and type in the new component name.
5. Check the files on the list that will be part of this component.
6. Press SAVE to save the component and it will refresh on the component list later.
7. You can also DELETE components here.

UTILITY
This is always the first place you want to use first. Backup before you start playing around.

1. You can BACKUP your current theme. By default, it will save a backup copy of your theme in the current directory. Please note that this may take quite a bit of time...
2. You can change to your own directory by keying in the path. Make sure it is a valid one.
3. RESTORE utilize the same path as your backup. Make sure the path is also valid.
4. RESTORE ORIGINAL basically reset all your theme back to the default OEM. If everything fails, this is your best bet to get it working again.

Note : Utility now only deals with manila and PNG files. Hopefully, I can include other files like DLL and exe in the later versions.

TIMER
This will trigger a scheduled event which will then automatically deploy selected components to your theme over a set time interval. The items of each respective components will be selected randomly. By default, wallpapers will be changed.

1. Select the time interval that you want ( I suggest 1minute for testing but set a longer time interval for practical usage ). This will wake your phone up everytime it changes.
2. By default, I have put the path of the wallpapers in the program directory. You can change that if you want. Just make sure it is a valid one.
3. Press LIST to list other components that you also want to change. Check them to include them.
4. Press ACTIVATE to start the auto timer.
5. To stop the auto timer, just press DEACTIVATE.

Note : do not worry about battery draining as I'm using scheduled events like your alarm clock for the time interval.

PROBLEM REPORTING
I have not have the time to test out all the bugs. Please report back with details and what ROM or mobile you are using. Due to time limitation, the program should only works in a 400x800 mobile properly. I'll try to create a universal version when time permits.

INSTALLATION
1. Uninstall previous version.
2. Copy cab to anywhere in your mobile
3. Install to any directory or device ( best on your storage card )
4. That's it.....

GOODIES
In the main installation, I have put in some standard components and also wallpapers. In future, more of these packages will be released and I will put them in zip file. Just unzip them to \MaxTTM\Components\ directory and it should copy the files to the components folder accordingly. Also for clear definition going forward, there are packages which can only be used for certain TF3D version. Pls refer to the definition below.

ALL TF3D - purely graphic files shared amongst all TF3D version
OLD TF3D - for the current standard TF3D
ALL NEW TF3D - the new TF3D version with landscape support including Dutty Custom 2.2 and above
NEW TF3D - the new TF3D version with landscape support excluding Dutty Custom 2.2 and above
DUTTY TF3D - for Dutty 2.2 and above

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.

Tried to duplicate your problem. When in Activesync, you can't turn on the WiFi. Unplug your cable, then press it and it activates on my phone ( although it looks like it is disabled before you press it ). Your other alternative is to go straight to the COMMS-Manager tab which is the reason for the 15tabs.

Is it just me or is it really really slow to update the screen the 1st time you visit any of the tabs?

Give your phone some time to load up the TF3D fully. It's always been like this since day one (at least on my phone).

That's a bit better. So now my problem is that when I go to the Settings tab I just get a green bar at the top and nothing else. Help.

Hi maxycy.
Awesome theme well done!! I hail from XDA-Developers forums but will be keeping an eye on these modaco pages from now on.
Would it be possible for a settings addition to change the tabs order without editing the xml file, i.e. for knoobs like me?
Many thanks again for an excellant theme..

Just want to say thanks.
I struggle with lots of the stuff posted- frankly it's too complicated for me, but this is great, a nice simple way to change the appearence of the phone-Thanks.

[squirreleater]

Hi,
Looks good except for one thing.
I've installed the black cab, but i can't get to wallpaper to change the background to black, so stuck with a wqhite screen and only a clock, no other info on there. The settings tab doesn't do anything, just leaves a blank screen with a green bar across the top?
Remember i'm a complete tool when it comes to using this phone, so be kind!

I just remembered that I have left out some files on the abstract theme. The original intention was to first install the HTC Black theme. Then, you can patch it up wt other themes. Try installing the HTC black first and then re-install the abstract theme and see whether the problem is fixed.

My current background with your excellant theme..

Another way to change the tabs without messing around wt xml file is to use Diamond TF3D Config program. Search for it in XDA. You will see that some tab names are missing in the config but if you know which tabs are which, you should be able to re-order them.

There's a possibility that the cab may not install properly on your phone as I have compressed it. Try install the "Original HTC Theme" and see whether everything is reset back to normal. If not, then switch off TF3D in Today setting and go to your \windows directory. Delete all *_manila files. Don't worry, this will activate the ROM to re-create the original file back in. ( There could be some files which are hard to erase, just leave it ).

Are you having a blank screen on Settings? If so, then you cannot access the Wallpaper to change it. Pls refer to some of my previous post and see whether you can fix the problem.
