Upgrade manila on Touch Pro? - General Questions and Answers

Hello all, I have a newly acquired Sprint Touch Pro and have been seeing a full manila upgrade floating around, should I upgrade to this or is it not necessary unless using custom themes? Also will it replace/override most of the current manila files? 18Mb seems pretty big for a cab file. Sorry for my ignorance and thanks in advance.

M2D on Treo Pro

Hello all,
I just got my Treo a week ago, and sucessfully got M2D running on it Thursday using the package found here. (Without RealVGA),
But I noticed on the way home yesterday I lost HSPDA and the phone would only connect to 3G. I also couldn't switch bands from the Phone settings. So last night I hardreset and started over, and this time I did not install the HTC Task Manager from the package since the Pro ships with its own version. Didn't install Google Maps either in favor of the version in the Pro's ROM.
End result is the Phone settings are back to normal, I can switch bands and it connects to HSPDA. But, I don't have the Task Manager as a part of TouchFLO, I have to get it from Windows itself. Any way around that?
Thanks for any help.

Excellent! our own forum.
First off the M2D installation instructions can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2840311.
This is a very clean install of the HTC Diamond interface and works great with the 320x320 resolution. The contributors there have been VERY responsive and helpful.
Second, if you install M2D you should also take a look at KaiserTweak or AdvancedConfig: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserTweak. BOth have ways to speed up the TouchFLO interface that make the experience much better.
Third, check often and update M2DC http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392&page=79. It will make your experience with M2D much better.
Last, I've been getting a Windows error the past few days that says, "A problem has occurred with filesys.exe." I've searched xda and find references to the error but can not find a resolution. Does anyone else experience this and have you any fixes? The issue may arise from M2D or from Opera 9.5 Beta (which I also highly recommend).
I've upgraded to a Treo Pro from an HTC Kaiser. A nice phone, but compared to the Treo Pro a real clunker. However, many people have done banner work around making the HTC Windows Mobile experience much better than Microsoft has. Check out thier good work as well but be careful - our screens are square 320x320 and most everything in the kaiser forum fits on a kaiser screen.
Thanks for creating a seperate forum for the Treo Pro (a.k.a., HTC Panther).
What an awesome post. This is why this forum was needed. Now I have touchflo working perfect on my phone. The only problem is flick scrolling no longer works! I downloaded FtouchSL and it works like a charm. Only problem is it isnt compatible with the HTC Touch Flo. Anyone know a way to add flick scrolling to internet explorer, and messages that works with M2D?

Since posting this, I've also installed RealVGA 96dpi found in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443385. I thought I had the best of everything then I saw what 320x320 really looks like.
I've also seen a reply to this original post noting that "My Favs" were missing. I've not experienced this in either IE (which I NEVER use any more) or Opera. In opera, you'll find your IE favs by touching the star in the opera menu bar at the bottom of the screen. That's my experience anyway.
I have installed with some issues:
I can't seem to make the weather app work, is there something else I need to install (sorry if this a noobie question) and also the launch application tab does not seem to work, I try to add apps just like in the quick dial tab and nothing happens.. also the google map search is not working.. any ideas? I followed the instructions but it does not seem to be working..
any tips would be appreciated, also if you happen to have an unbraded rom in english, it would be very helpful!
If you are running this setup of M2D with RealVGA at 96dpi, use the files in steps 2,3 and 4 from the link below to get everything scaled properly to the screen. Plus you get a nice blue theme color

Found the blue theme. Works very nicely on my Treo Pro @ 96dpi. Are there other themes available here for 320x320? In particular, I'd like a dark orange, dark red & all black (or black & charcoal).
TIA
Bill
Over time, I have updated the files to customize m2d with RealVGA 96dpi on my Treo Pro. I have included my Step 3 of the install for the Treo Pro. Included is the Flip Clock, resized the location tab map images to fill the screen, and the HTCHomeSettings.xml has been updated to work with the new builds of m2d. I only take credit for finding what I wanted and making it all work.

This is excellent work. Thank you very much. This fixes some issues I mentioned in earlier posts in this thread with the mail screen and was easy to install. Let's keep this Treo Pro thread active!
For step 3, should I just be copying these files into the window directory? I could of course just run a sprite backup to be safe first but I am just curious.

A backup first is always good. Copy the Step 3 folder to your Storage Card. Stop M2D from Settings-Today-Items, by deselecting TouchFLO. Copy the files from the Step 3 folder to the Windows directory, and overwrite the existing files. Enable TouchFLO again, and that should be it.

Despite following advice I cannot intall M2D on Palm Treo Pro : message is " cannot find config file"
in fact the config manager is not launched.
Any tip ?
Thank you
Marco
mi treo freeze in inactive mode, is soo slow to activate, why?
Which is the last version to be installed with Treo Pro?
I found M2D Build 1.0.18203328, is it correct?
Thank you
Hi I got the same problem as you with the m2d. My application launcher, google map search and weather tab is not working. How do you solve it? I got a Treo Pro (Dutch version)
Thanks
And thats the problem, its not working on a dutch version. You need to flash it to WWE Rom. Before the pro, I have owned a HP 614. Had the same problem, but after flashing to WWE, i was able to install M2D

Hi guys.. Im new to this thing.. I just want to know if there is a thread for newbies like me.. Because im planning to purchase a winmo device (htc touch pro 2 / diamond 2) and just wondering what are the available tweaks for such device..
What is manila by the way? is it an application you install so that winmo will be customizable?
I've read that there is manila 2 and manila 3? What's the difference?
And also, is there a tweak which puts the new touch flo 3d from the diamond 2 to the touch hd? just wonderin because im also considering touch hd..
Thanks..
windows mobile update
Hi guys I also havea question I have aHTC touch pro and some of the apps arent working because it says a i need a newer version of the .net framework i have all the origonal software on the phone ie no 3rd party roms . how do i upgrade my wm6 or .net framework??????
Generally, everything you want is available. TF3D for Diamond/Touch Pro/Touch HD
the new TF3D works on all and comes from the Diamond2/Touch Pro2
TF2D is a lighter version of it mostly for QVGA devices.
If you decide to buy a winmo device, you will be able to customize it pretty much any way you want.

First of all you can take a look here & here for Touch Pro II.
Then here & here for the Diamond II.
& last here & here for Touch HD.
The above is for collecting informations about the phones. My opinion is that Touch Pro II is almost perfect.
If you mean Manilla 2D or M2D & Manilla 3D or M3D the basic difference is the 2 or 3 dimensions equivalent. M3D has more effects than M2D & can be used only in powerfull PPC's with a lot of Ram. the PPC's that you are thinking can support it, don't worry .
For your last question all that I can say is that at XDA-Developers everithing is possible

[Q] Manila 2D skins for HTC Touch Viva

Hi everyone,
i'm a new member of your Forum and i have an HTC touch Viva with Manila 2D installed in and Windows Mobile 6.1 as OS. Looking around on the web, i know that is possible to apply custom changes to the Touchflo system using the Manila 2D Customizer software. With this, i can change my touchflo themes to make it more interesting, but, when i apply a theme, downloaded from internet, Manila 2d crash and doesn't start anymore. I readed that it depends from the incompatibility of the installed theme with my device. Can anyone indicate me a series of themes for Manila 2D specifically compatibles with my device?
P.S. Thanks for the attention, sorry for the long post and thank you everyone for the great job done
Make sure the theme you downloaded is for QVGA screen.
