wizard reTOUCHed 5.2.1413 with Touchflo-cube FINAL

Due to the many request:
wizard reTOUCHed FINAL
[size=+2]FINAL[/size]
There will be no more updates on this 5.2.1413 ROM, My goal is achieved: packages are ready to use in other kitchens.
-HTC Camera
-Pocket MSN
-esmertec Java
-battery status
-pocket RAR/ZIP
-registry editor, taskmanager
-Total Commander
And of course all the TOUCH files
The Cube is invoked by the voicedial button.
-Slide Finger UP the first time to invoke
-Slide finger up in order to hide
-slide finger from side to side, the next time you want to invoke.
The known bug(s):
-OK/X button
FIX: use the re-alignment settings as shown in this post)
Or you could try the reg file in touch.zip attached in this post
-No mms
FIX: use the Asukal mms cab from here to install MMS features. (don't install the pocket MSN, it's already integrated)
-No icon for zip-file
FIX: install the reg in the zipicon.zip archive.
-while editing today screen, it could freeze up.
FIX: install the reg in today-set-freeze-fix.zip
-`Maybe a bug': Bluetooth headsets fail with some users, they do pair, but don't function! Others report it being fully functional.
Not a bug, but a feature: there are only Dutch and Belgium city's available in the today-weather app.
Replace the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml with your own..
[size=+2]NEWER OEM Packages used for the Build of Beta V2b[/size]
Here are the OEM Packages For Touchflo.
Note:
---> in order to use the packages, you will need to delete some files and modules from the Kitchen <---
--->So this is NOT plug and play<---
Use duplicate file finder (freeware) and add some extra filters for mui, lnk and dat.
Then you still have to remove the modules.
The OEMAPPS package still contain files not belonging there, so some could be moved to a new package, however, it's sanitized the best I could (regarding the time I've had)
I have tested these packages only as a complete unit, not the separate packages!
-So the problem could occur that a stand-alone package would not work.
DOWNLOAD THE NEW V2B PACKAGES HERE
[size=+2]FIX YOUR BUTTONS WITH THE FOLLOWING SCREEN ALIGNMENT:[/size]
Alling your touchscreen as shown in attached image.
This will fix all of the button problems.
Or you could try the touch.reg in the touch.zip (these are my alignment settings, could work, could fail, if it fails retry aligning according my instructions)

verify under settings/buttons that button 4 is set for the cube function.
Once you press button 4, release it, then slide your finger from left to right.
Once it starts rotating screens, to exit back to the "home" page, go from bottom to top.
I haven't tried the rom directly, but this was the function in the French rom.

would this work for hermes too?

the splash screen's nice, but after i flashed the first time, button 4 was empty and it wasn't in the button settings' drop down menu.
after second flash, it works and it's SOOOO COOOL! i didn't go to the button settings thing at all for fear of it being empty again and then me pressing ok and then losing it forever like the first time i flashed.
lots of fun to try, thanks!
edit:
i went to button settings again and lost it once again. i clicked buttons (in settings), saw that button 4 was empty (after cube had just worked) and had to press ok to get out of it and now i can't find it (nor use it). other than that, it's cool.

Hi Dave,
what does that rom include? only the cube part what about the flicker browsing?. . .hehehe that's what i wanna have in my wizard.
hope the community can work on this . . . no doubt in that!

so the action of going to settings-buttons removes the entry? Hmmm... I wonder, even though the registry is specifying the application for the button when it's opened, when the button control is invoked - it doesn't match to a predefined list and thus removes it. Once it's open, it has overwritten the registry... just thinking out loud...

yep, you got it. meanwhile (after flash #3 in the past hour), i'm going to have fun with this and not even think about touching the "buttons" icon in settings until someone who knows how to deal with it can fix it.
i haven't been looking but the only french of the today screen is the htc audio plugin when it displays the "tap here to play songs.." or something.

if you see any others, can you post them? It'd help narrow down where the last of the "translation" is needed. (sarcastic jokes ommitted )

ok, the keyboard is not qwerty. i must flash to something else for now. that cube rocks though.
edit: whatever, i can handle azerty for a day if i can mess with the cube...

i love it but the only prob is that my keyboard imput is kinda messed ie if i hit the "w" key it makes a z and vice verca lol can anyone tell me how to fix this?
or is there a keyborad cab file??

no start menu clicks
can't set any homepage in pie (after i say, use current and then click ok, it's still blank; when i click "home" it goes to nothing).
edge works
wifi works
orb works
ok, i'm going to flash to something else now. thanks.

Hi guys and galls,
Have been working on OEM packages, in order to use these things in other kitchens/ROM's.
So a touchflo rom will be possible from a kitchen of your choice.
Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated.
The azerty keyboard is a pain, I know.
But I will be able to import my packages to a clean, WWE kitchen, so a lot of junk will be lost.
@ davefan, only 3 times?
Must be a fluke, I didn't have that problem.
I have flashed so often this weekend I lost count, have switched batteries a lot of times (thank god for the desktop turbo charger). Also glad I had a sd backup, because at a given time the phone was protesting a lot, didn't even wanted to be flashed in bootloader..

man, you don't sleep to much, don't you
needless to say how much your work is appreciated...
rgs,
pirlone

thanks for great efforts
testing just to have a look
about the cleartype enabling:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE]
@=""

my windows live wont let me sign on because i "dont have an internet connection" but my wifi is connected. and i dont have data just wifi can anyone help me here? or tell me how to un-install it??

Old Notification Manager,for gods sake..Please..

I have searched the whole xda forum but couldn't find a solution to remove the crappy new notification manager on my TD2. This is so useless,why a Notification Manager will pop up when I click the Battery or volume or network icon,it should show the details of every icon separately.I just want the OLD notification manager and I am sure I am not the only person who wish to have the Old one. So guys please tell me some positives,will look forward to your inputs.
Thanks in advance.

ya, i need it too

Yes, that was the first thing that struck me too!
I went and disabled that crappy notification manager completely. I now get the WM 6.1 bubbles.
.

Actually.. my issue with the new notification manager is the speed.
I want instant access to these.. not requiring me to wait abt 1-2secs.
the diamond1 screen was simple and basically had enlarged icons only.. but that was instant. Does anyone know if we can use the D1 notification manager on our D2?

Hm,but didn't understand the last two .cabs. There are two cabs,why are they there? If I install the 'NoNotification' cab will it work? or it's a must to install TaskManager 3.1 and Registry Editor?

CABs that only have registry tweaks in them don't appear as "programs" so they can't get uninstalled that way. That's why I put 2 CABs, one to make the change, one to revert it.
NoNotification.CAB will deactivate the notification manager (soft reset required)
Notifcation.CAB will activate it again, in case you don't like the changes it brings
No need to install FDCSoft's TaskManager or a Registry Editor, those are both alternative ways to the CAB installation.

Thanks a lot,that cab did work great.

Hi,
I agree that the Topaz Notification Manager is quite useless..but did anyone try the Enhanced Notification Manager?It's functional, without going back to old notification systems. Because finger tapping the icon you want has become very difficult (e.g I have a modded task bar with tiny icons), you still get the entire list of ongoing notifications, but each of them is clickable and redirects to the relative settings.I'm happy with it .
Greetz

You can find Topaz Tweak Software here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502102 , with it is possible turn off and on Enhanced Notification.

Does Enhanced Notification Manager works with MS Shell 3.0?
Cos I disable the TF3D and runing MS shell 3.0

How did you get the small task bar icons? Would it work, or do you know how, to change the keyboard (SIP) button size - the button has a large tap area which prevents me from tapping the toolbar buttons in some programs - it seems to overlap the other buttons so when I tap them only the keyboard pops up!!

good info here!

Usually there is a message poping up asking you whether you want change the wall paper to the default one, but i am not getting it.
Ironically i am capabe of changing it to the animated wall paper...I am really puzzled!!!
Can anyone help please?

Use the animated wallpaper option, but browse to the wallpaper of your choice instead.
If that doesn't work then one of the "essential" cabs that you have installed has caused the problem. You may be able to resolve it by uninstalling the culprit, but you may need a hard reset as not all mods get uninstalled fully.

it is definetly the 20 shortcut, i have unistalled it and it worked fine.
so i guess we know what the problem is...but had to install the 20 shortcut back because it is very usefull

True, it is the shortcut-cab that causes the problem. But after selecting my new background and re-installing the shortcut-cab, the problem is back.

Have you tried using HDWall to create your wallpaper? I use it because I want the same wallpaper on all the tabs, and I also use the 20 quicklinks cab and they work together fine.

I had the same problem with the latest version of HDWall (v0.28b), but the previous version (v0.27b) worked fine. Just make sure you go into the config screen and ensure you're making cabs for WM6.5 and Sense 2.5.
Edit:
I've just tried v0.28b again, and it works as long as you install the "High Quality Wallpaper for Home Tab & Manila Start Menu by Co0kieMonster".
It now fills the screen correctly, and is higher resolution than the previous versions. It looks great now!

Great, that's better! Only one 'problem' left, I want the bottom of the screen (with 'contact'-button and 'menu'-button @ homescreen) to be black instead of the color from the background. Is there any way I can change that?

This is a bit poor, I know, but it works.
Open Settings (or All Settings from the settings tab), and go to Today. Change the theme and click OK. Then, open the Today settings again and change the theme back (I assume you want HTC Black, from your comment). Click OK and it's done.

Stock Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM Problem with Today Screen Animated Wallpaper

I have updated my TP2 with the stock Verizon WM6.5/Sense 2.1 ROM upgrade. I have noticed that the weather animations on the Today screen wallpaper, which I think are great, will stop working if I go to beyond the Start screen and hit "All Applications", and it brings up the full apps list. Even without starting any of the apps there, going back to the Today screen, the animations on the wallpaper will not work with any method that I can find other than restarting Sense 2.1 with a soft reset or similar restart of manila.exe
I know most folks here are beyond the stock ROMs but wondering if anyone has seen this too and figured out how work around this problem that I assume is a bug and will not in all probability ever get fixed from HTC. Hopefully this is the worst probelm with the new ROM, whick I can live with but would like to correct if possible.
Thanks!

After a while it does stop the animation. One trick I found out (and it helps with the memory leak), is just move around the tabs just to initate the reloading of sense. Then it will do it again.

Hit the task manager at the top right of the screen (where you close running programs, etc) and then close it. The animation will restart.

I recognize the open and closing of Task Manager does restart it under normal situations, but it will not restart it if you go into the All Applications page. Thats what breaks it...keeps the aminations from running again until you restart Sense 2.1 through several methods, soft-reset, going through the motions of changing the Today screen icons (see above) or some app that resarts the manila.exe program like cleanRam.

Interesting I never noticed this before.

Doesn't do it on mine. I've got the "All Applications" page in Sence 2.1. I've also installed 4 icons in the All Applications and All Programs pages, Awsome Start (single row WinMo start menu). Plus animated weather with any home screen wallpaper and a working BG4All.
Goin to My Application, or All Programs, then back to home and weather works fine. So either somthing in the .cabs & tweaks I've done has fixed it, or somthing in the .cabs & tweaks you've done broke it.

Yup it does it for me. Now I know what stops the weather.

I have a pretty much stock phone with several tweeks/cabs (stop sent message balloon, restore message light flashing capabilities, and a couple of other minor ones) that I don't believe have anything to do with breaking it so I'm gussing that some of yours are "fixing it".

Hmm maybe its the weather for all backgrounds that is making the weather stay. I guess I will look for that cab and see if it fixes our problem.

Don't have the ability to hook up my phone and upload the .cab... but search for: "2.1apristel BG4ALL_W_Fullscreen_Animations.cab" and you should come up with it pretty quick.
That's the only one that worked for me with the CDMA Verizon 6.5/Sense 2.1 phone without breaking somthing else.
Good luck. Hope it works for you.

Myself personally, I do not like the Manila start menu, and have disabled it. I use the standard WM 6.5 honeycomb start menu. I have not experienced any problems with the animations since disabling the manila start menu.

How do you disable just the Manila (Sense 2.1) start menu and use the WM6.5 one?

You can do it one of two ways.
I did it with a .cab that also added a "Programs" tab in the TouchFlo/Sense interface as well. But using the registry editor. HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration. Open File 11 and under the D word value "Enable", change the value from 0 to 1.
There is another edit, though, where you can choose which start menu the device uses. I'm 99% sure it's HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and under the D Word Value "IsWM6.5" and the default setting is no (which = 0). Change it to a "1" and I'm pretty sure you'll get what you're looking for.

In both cases, my settings are "1" and I have not changed these at all from the Stock VZW 6.5 upgrade. Am I misreading?

Hmmm, I Downloaded My ROM from PCD & I Don't Have Animated Weather for My Today Screen, Only In My Weather Tab. Where Did You Download Your ROM From?

Downloaded from the same place as you...PCD.

Hmmm, By Any Chance Do You Still Have The Original ROM You Updated Your TP2 With? Can You Send It My Way? I'd Really Appreciate It

Actually I deleted it. The phone was updated and working properly so I saw no reason to keep it as I could always download from the PCD website again.
Did you load other tweak cabs to your new 6.5 ROM that you had in 6.1. Maybe you did someting. Try a hard reset?
Sorry thats all I have for suggestions.

Problem with Duttys Task Mamager

Hi, I've installed Duttys Task Manager, but it doesn't appear in the start menu, or in "Tools", but it does appear when I look to uninstall it from Start>Settings>Application>Manage application>Remove
I've tried several times with and without soft reset, but it's always the same.
It doesn't appear in File Explorer on the HD2, or Explorer on my desktop machine either (Vista Ultimate, 32 bit).
I'm also running these programs:
Two Peaks Billrate
eWallet
Gyrator2
Mobireader
Start Menu Grid 4
SPB Time3 (Demo)
TCPMP_netDrg V2
? Duttys Task Manager?
The end result I'm trying to achieve is to stop Gyrator2 exiting when I end all tasks from the task manager. I understand that Duttys Task Manager will let me do this.
Any ideas or alternative suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi. I think you cannot choose what programmes remain running with the task manager(Duttys)unless you close each app individually(leaving Gyrator running)

Hi, thanks for your reply. This is what I'm doing at the moment - closing each app individually - but I thought I'd read somewhere on the forum that Dutty's had an exclusion list. Maybe I'm wrong, in which case I won't bother with Dutty's at the moment. It's not that big a deal, but I only find out that Gyrator's not running when I need it. Cheers.

Hello again. I think you could use another task manager called showacase or showcase. That app has a config option.I'm not at home at the moment but i thnk i have it. once i get home,ill upload it for you.

Use the Touch X Task Manager. You can find it here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
It gives you a task manager available from Sense (top-right corner). If you go into settings (click the wrench icon) then you can select any running app and add it to the exclusions list.
Hope this helps

Thanks rumz82 and johncmolyneux. I HAVE got Dutty's Task Manager after all. Like the Touch X Task Manager it creates a drop-down menu in the top right corner where several options are offered. I must be blind 'cos I didn't notice it! I haven't tried the options yet because I didn't want to waste any more of anyone's time. I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again.

Heh - glad you found it okay. And I'm sorry mate, but LOL!!
I also like the word "mamager" thread title. It sounds like something for keeping boobs in order

Hum, yes, I see what you mean!
I'm not a very good typist, and sometimes a bit dyslexic. I usually rely on the spell-checker where I've put in all my usual mistakes for auto-correction. Another reason is that I usually work on my computer with an A4 pad in front of the keyboard for taking notes, and this doesn't give me a very good typing position. When I remove it I'm a lot more accurate, but I need it when I'm in problem-solving mode. Cheers.

I'm just having a bit of fun at your expense mate I'm terrible for going back and re-editting stuff that I typed previously. I'm just a real pedant, so I notice EVERYTHING! lol

No problem - I'm just as bad. I like good English and am a bit like you in that respect. I used to teach english as a foreign language, and I do like good grammar and spelling. I suppose I should be more tolerant but the quality of some of the posts really niggles me, and I'm talking about the posts by people where English is their first language!
Anyway, I've had a play with Dutty's Task MaNager, and it does what I need, but thanks for your help anyway. I wouldn't have noticed the drop-down menu without your post.
I've noticed your credit in the work with Co0kie.HomeTab_v1.6.1. I've read the posts and I'm very interested in getting more quicklinks on my home page, and more appointments too. Am I correct in thinking that I can do this without editing the registry? I've got confused. Are you the right person to ask?
Thanks again.

First of all, I'm glad you got your original issue sorted, and I'm happy to help
Secondly, Co0kie's Home Tab will modify the Sense Home Tab so that you can have multiple pages of quicklinks, ranging from 3x3 to 5x5. All the settings are registry entries, and that's where I came into the story. I made the CHTEditor which gives you the ability to change all the settings that Co0kieMonster made available to us, but via a GUI.
The GUI is unfortunatly a bit lacking in some respects (you have to click some things two or three times before they work; certain things are difficult to change etc.), but that will be resolved in the next version. The current version does work, and obviously makes it a lot easier to set up Co0kie's most excellent mod.
Have fun playing with your new home tab. It made my phone easily twice as useful!

Had the same issue. For me Duttys Task Manager just didnt show up in the right corner after installation.
But it showed up after the installation of another app.
For me i also felt that my battery drain was faster with the task manager AND after bootup it takes way longer until Sense is fully reacting on my input with it installed.
So i uninstalled it and now im using the Task Manager that comes with the HD2.
I have a shortcut in the Co0kies Home Tab to it and everytime im finished with an app i open the task manager and close all running apps. Simple but good

Thanks dameon12 - maybe I wasn't so blind after all! I'm not away from my charger for very long at the moment so I'm not able to comment on the battery life. I installed Dutty's Task Manager to stop Gyrator closing so that my screen will always change from portrait to landscape for applications where a wider screen is more useful - in my case, spreadsheets.
I'm experimenting in using my phone to send information I collect in my work back to base so I don't have to carry a laptop with me. I'm designing the spreadsheets to fit the screen in landscape mode.
Thanks also for the info about Co0kie's Home Tab. I'm going to experiment with that in a few days time when I've got a bit more time.
Cheers.
