TF2D (Manilla 2D) not "full screen" - General Questions and Answers

First, I love this app! And thanks to all for the hard work!
But I do have an issue...
I did a hard reset on my Omnia and installed TF2D. But I can't seem to get it to take up the whole screen. I have about an inch of dead empty space below the app. Basically it stops just above the volume keys. Anyone else see this? Any ideas on what I can do to make it expand more?

I think I may have at least figured out what's going on. Maybe some settings from other themes are hanging around and not being deleted before applying the new theme? For instance I also noticed that "am" by the time is not the same font as the time itself.
Also, looking in my Windows folder I have about 450 files with the names "hh_email..., hh_fw...", hh_hm...", etc. And about 216 in the Windows\ManilaGFX with similar naming. Is this normal. I did a hard reset last night. But maybe when I sync'ed it, it carried over some of the bad settings from before???
UPDATE: I think I'm going to have to Hard Reset it...again. I'm thinking that I have a couple issues going on here. I think that after I reset it last night, the sync copied over the bad files back into the Windows directory.
Now, I can copy the original HTChomesettings.xml into the Windows directory and it works. Kinda...but as soon as I use the M2DC program to switch themes, it messes everything up again. Not sure what's going on here. And no matter what I try now, I don't have any of the icons in my weather tab. This sucks.

Why can't I start third party input methods?

So i've been having this problem for a while...
I installed Calligrapher, TenGO, Happy Keyboard... but besides the first time I start it up, I can never get it to activate. It always defaults back to the keyboard.
I have plenty of memory free (15 megs), nothing is started, If i launch any of the input methods as the first thing after a softreset, it'll sometime work. Otherwise, i can never get it to run. I figure it's a memory issue, but I really do have more than 10 megs free at any given time...
the HTC Phonepad works fine, same with block recognizer...
Anyone else run into a problem like this?

Same happened to me today with TenGo. Try opening the Tengo in Word, then it will work OK.
That didn't help at all.. No matter what application is running, It always opens the default keyboard instead.
I think i found out a possible issue: If i removed all the third party today screen plugins (i have pocket weather, phone alarm, calendar, and tasks), and only have calendar and today, then soft reset, I have a pretty good chance in starting calligrapher and tengo immediately after the softreset. But once I turn on phone alarm and pocketweather, calligrapher gets all slow and laggy and I can't enable calligrapher or tengo after a softreset.
So these today plugins are conflicting somehow... I dunno how since I still see 15+ megs available RAM on the device regardless of how many plugins I have enabled...
anyone have any insight?
i had similar prob. as well, there is some prob with loading try to put SIPz in startup folder. google it.
I had a similar problem, i fixed it by using the attached file. Install the cab, go to programs -> Im Selector -> choose default keyboard and restart.

URGENT: Manila2D/TouchFlo/KaiserTweak CONFLICT(?)! = Broken Interface!!

Ok, look, I've searched and scoured and repeated until I'm pissed beyond belief. My NATF Manila2D ROM was boogying right along just freaking fine until I installed KaiserTweak and now it's all effed to Hell and back.
SOMEONE EXPLAIN?!
Sorry to be so ill but I've noticed it's happened with NUMEROUS Manila2D ROMs and it's pissing me off to constantly have to reflash (I didnt really realize that was the issue until now.)
Basically, I install KaiserTweak, OPEN KaiserTweak, CLOSE KaiserTweak (doesnt matter if ANY changes are made by the user, ie me) then soft reset. Upon reboot, the p.o.s TouchFlo engages and the BOOM! I get the lovely Black Screen of Death: PPC Edition. Once TouchFlo loads, it shows the Message tab but WITH NO FREAKING OTHER TABS!! *fumes*
It shows a pretty black blankness where the Manila interface should be and "All Messages" and "Menu" where the soft keys aught to be.
I'm bloody sick and tired of reflashing my stuff. *seriously pissed*
The easiest thing is to just NOT install KaiserTweak BUT I would like to know any way AROUND this cursed p.o.s. conflict.
I've attached a screen shot of the issue. Maybe a picture will help clarify why I'm so ill.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Forgive me if it's some simple tweak I have to engage to fix this. I've just tried everything that I know and I'm really just ill that I've sat here and fought with this thing to no avail...Thanks again, folks.
False Alarm! =D
Ok, sorry for the freak out. Pretty much I uninstalled every customization tool I had (even though everything was cool until KaiserTweak effed it up) and now it's back to normal =]
If anyone has any ideas as to what setting is actually corrupting my interface (as no one else seems to be having this issue or at least not reporting it) then letting me know would be greatly appreciated. I love my customization tools but not if they're gonna conflict and break my phone =[
Btw, NATF has some of the best ROMs IMHO =D
Going back to loving my ROM now lol
Thanks guys!
One More Piece of Info for the Road
So I just went back and I figured out that if I take the Messaging tab off in the Tab Settings that everything is ok but if I put it in (which I really dont have to have so it's ok, would be nice though) then it effs it back up to that black screen that I originally freaked about.
Like I said, everything was ok until KT. =[
Maybe that weirdness will help.
Here's to hoping.

I lost all of my Input methods!

I don't know what the deal is, I had them this morning, and even after a restore, I don't have any of my Input methods anymore. They all show but when I select one it doesn't apply. I should have:
Block Recognizer
Compact QWERTY
Full QWERTY
Keyboard (it defaults to this every time)
Letter Recognizer
Phone Keyboard
Transcriber
I have recently installed the new Landscape Full Manila update but I had these options even after that.
Anyone know how I can reinstall these options?! I hate that default keyboard!
It seems like they are all there still, like I can see options for them all, etc but it just wont change, also its like the small arrow by the keyboard isn't activated and I cant click it, I can change the default keyboard from small to large, but that's it!
ERRRR, what pisses me off is I backup ALL THE TIME, before every app install even, and when I do a restore, it still doesn't work, WTF good are backups then! Or does Spite Backup just suck and I should be using another?
This worrying about everything from one min to the next with this device is the only bad thing about it.
The only suggestion I have for you is to do a hard reset and restore using the most recent back up file until you find a back up file that works for you. I have used sprite back up many times before but this has never happened to me.
Are you using the stock Fuze ROM?
Yeah I'm using the stock ROM but I bypassed the bloatware and installed TF3D that was just released in the software thread, the full one with landscape mode.
I tried several backups and none worked, strange, not sure what caused this but I did find a work-around, its a small app called SIPChange, it was a shot in the dark but it worked for me, for anyone else with this issue, try it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271008
This actually even fixed the little arrow issue I have that wasn't letting me select the Input method on the fly, I did notice it loads at every reset tho, I don't care as long as it works!
Thanks guys, I hope this thread will help anyone else with the issue.

2 Questions..need some help.

Recently I had did a hard reset on my phone, to fix some error I had encountered while trying out some app. Unfortunatly, I forgot how to redo some changes I had previously made.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I can find a cab file to make the bottom bar on my Home screen transparent. [I have a Fuze, and using TF3D]. I did it once before I believe, but cannot remember if it was part of an app or not. I tried one thing from a forum on here, but it caused problems which I had to do the hard reset to clear up.
Found this myself.
Secondly, does anyone have a cab for a transparent glass clock? I tried one from the forum of the guy who made the landscape icons, but everything the minutes flipped, it showed another number behind it as it was doing so.
Any help? Anybody? Much appreciated.
Edit: figured out one part.

Why is my phone going to Landscape Mode

I can go to setup/system/screen and change the orientation to "Portrait". but it's changing right back to landscape if I put it in sleep mode and wake it up. Or if I slide the keyboard and slide back it stays in landscape.
Any clues on why it's defaulting back to landscape and not staying in portrait mode?
Thank you in advance!

You really need to give a little more info. What rom are you using? Stock? 6.1? 6.5? What carrier? Do you have a newer manila on there? No one can help you with the information (or lack thereof) that you have given.
It's happening with both ROM I tried (NFSFAN's WM6.5 build 14 & Mighty 21840.5.0.60). I've got the phone on MetroPCS service. Manila 2.1 I think with the Mighty Rom flash. Hope this helps, Thank you in advance -Jonathan
I dunno; have you done anything weird with Advanced configuration? There was a dude once who set his angle for causing the switch from portrait to landscape to 0 degrees, and his phone when haywire. Also, what programs have you installed, and do you have anything weird that runs at startup that you installed, like any g-config programs? Maybe you installed something that is screwing with the phone in a big way. It's just a guess. I know from personal experience that the Iris browser can screw with the phone in a big way, particularly if it switches the phone to landscape and you close it that way.
I'd suggest doing a hard reset, not installing any apps or any tweaks, and see if the phone is still acting up. If it is, then you may have a hardware problem. also, you should probably try calibrating the g-sensor. I've never done it myself, but if yours is out of whack, it may be messing with the orientation.
This happened to me as well, I tried a hard reset that only succeeded in pissing me off. Got with HTC Tech support, they pointed me toward a new sprint ROM that was released (just as bad as a hard reset) didn't work either. Then they set me up with getting it repaired, since I was still under HTC's warranty of 12 months. Just got it back last week and all seems fine now although they did not say what happened.
Sorry I can't tell you what the issue is. But try Tech Support just make sure you have the phone set up like it's fresh out of the box, make sure you check the registry as well for lingering traces of previously uninstalled programs or edits.
Hope it helps.
Good Luck
