Problems with changing m2d themes - General Questions and Answers

Hi.
I`m useing n073e (CE OS 5.2.20769 build20769.1.4.5) (i also had the same problem with nosedive 0.6.13 WWE m2d) rom for my trinity. With older rom i could change manila 2d themes with no problem.
Now when i try diferent m2d themes using the latest m2d customizer (or by copying m2d files to windows directory) i have problems with all themes. Digital clock bug and wm runs much slower. When entering windows directory after changing m2d theme from default it takes almost 1 minute. Other people using that rom do not report any problems.

I suggest you using Dotfred's task manager to check if the CPU usage is running high because of a certain applications.

Clean 15342 Revision

Here's a modified 15342 ROM for cooking. No tweaks or anything, just a stable base.
Changes:
1) No Windows Live
2) New OEMAPPS (all control panel icons are now WM6 style)
3) WiFi activates on first tap
4) 8 button comm manager with flight mode
5) HTC Comm Manager now appears in connections control panel instead of the Wireless Manager
6) Windows Update is now a control panel icon instead of a program icon
7) Office 2007 included with zip and fax viewer
This is as clean as the original 15342 build. You may extract and use as you wish.

Have you been running this? Can you post the issues it has?
Just a few days. No issues so far other than the typical .318 limitations. Drivers are all the same. I took out the Windows Live stuff because there are newer versions available and even the factory ROM for the Hermes doesn't have it. This is pretty much the same thing as we did with the AKU 3.3. Just cleaned up for someone to cook. Kind of like raw meats and veggies.
One issue just discovered: If you activate the AutoSingleLineDatePlugin through the registry, you cannot make any changes to the today screen without resetting the PPC. Wierd, but I think this may be related to the registry editor. I've never had this issue before.

Can Manila be installed from a cab?

and what is the difference between 2d and 3d manila?
L26 had a rom called Throttle Launcher. It seems alot like the Manila but it was able to be customized ALOT. I'd like a LITTLE more modification ability. Like, adding to the internet tab, changing the default analog clock to something like Pocket Digital Clock, getting rid of the envelops on the Email and Messaging Tab.
Plain Rom Question:
What ROM is the most PLAIN broken down copy of win mo 6.1?
at&t? htc? Like NOTHING!! except the OS.. I'll install my own cabs.
User Customize question:
do the cabs have to be on top most folder level or can they be in a sub folder called "root"?
you can install from cabs you need to look that up it is everywhere.
roms stripped to the core are usually called lite roms or ultra lite roms.
throttle launcher was a program used to emulate 3d with is the real version that 2d was derived from (it was used before porting manilla 2d to other htc phone and now more than just htc phones)
throttle is really heavy and slow.
manilla can be customized. again look it up.
you will need manilla 2d if you have a kaiser.
Take a stripped ROM and have plain Manilla 2d without Throttle so you may have some better performance.
Regards,
Carty..
This is for manilla: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
and this is for akdonny's supa-clean ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410601
Allways the latest OS Build and no apps, not even the camera. If u go for it, have a look at my setup for setting it up, especially if u have a Kaiser not a Tilt.

Analogue clock for HD2?

Is it possible to replace the clock in HD2 for a large analogue one like Hero - but WITHOUT changing anything else on the home screen?
Thanks.
Try max manila.
I had a look at this but the MaxTTM does not seem to work with HD2 to add analogue clocks and other bits(or I'm doing something wrong) and Max Manilla has only one analogue clock. Thanks anyway.
Max Manila has more analog clocks, there is an onscreen toggle which allows you to choose between multiple analog clocks and layouts. Download the Max Manila from the 5th post of the thread ("Max Manila 2.519202525 Ultimate - v2.5 (for latest manila 2.5)". Also read that 5th post and you will understand how it works.
However, installing Max Manila won't *just* change the clock. It is a complete package that allows customizations and enhancements from within the Manila interface itself.
Max Manila 2.519202525 Ultimate - v2.5 is not built for the Manila that is available in the ship LEO rom, it is meant for an older version of the Manila interface, and it is therefore a little buggy on the LEO. EDIT: Is not that buggy at all, it works great. Read two posts down to see why it was buggy at first. The Manila that is included on the Leo/HTC HD2 is 2.5.19211619.0. Version 2.6 of Max Manila will support this newest Manila build, and Max Manila 2.6 is not out yet. Soon.
MaxTTM is a tool to further customize Manila, but how it exactly fits into this story I do not know - I just figured all of this out myself this night too
Thank you very much for the detailed info. so all the "components" available for download will not work on Leo, as they need MaxTTM to utilise ? as some good analogue clocks are available only as components... the default analogue with Max Manila is a bit naff.
I believe all the extras/addons/components that you can find for Manila 2.5 (this post has a list of most, if not all, of them - only use the blue ones. Also check this thread, it contains the same list of hacks) require you to have Max Manila installed on top of your Manila. To use some of the clock replacements etc you indeed have to use MaxTTM to put them in your Manila.
On a sidenote, Max Manila won't work well when you have done custom Sense/Manila 2.5 tweaks which can be found on various xda-developers LEO pages. For example you have to remove the "22. Change Your Quicklinks from 9 to 16 Slots" tweak (link) before you install Max Manila. Probably other standalone Manila tweaks won't work well with Max Manila either.
As a matter of fact the current Max Manila 2.5 is not buggy at all on the LEO. I thought it was because I had used some standalone tweaks for Manila, which are not compatible with Max Manila. Remove all of them before installing Max Manila and Max Manila will work great, all or most of those tweaks are built-in Max Manila anyway - so you don't have to loose a thing.
Can't wait for Max Manila 2.6 which is supposed to be even a lot better!!
To complete the story, I have to mention HDWall, it is a tool to create custom wallpapers for Manila, and to change the icons on the tabs. Also there is a thread with a collection of wallpapers. I don't know whether this will work without Max Manila, I think it will.
*removed*.
*removed*.
Thank you again mate, its getting clearer now, I did have individual tweaks like "number of icons" etc installed before installing MaxManila ! One more question..which MaxTTM works with Leo (with latest rom) as I previously installed latest 4.1 and kept crashing just before executing changes. but this may have been todo with me having installed individual tweaks prior like you mentioned?
I don't know about that, I haven't gone so far as to actually use MaxTTM. I got my LEO just a few days ago and I have had all the time in the world the last few days, so I've been busy investigating everything and playing
Ok, seems that MaxTTM definately does not work with HD2, and apart from that app, I cant find another way of installing different clocks/components.
I just saw MaxTTM uses .NET 3.5
Did you install that, and did you do the necessary registry change to use it?
13. Install Compact Net Framework 3.5 to Make Old Apps Work Again
Some apps you may have used on another phone will not work on the Leo unless you install Compact Net Framework to your phone. Download the cab from the following link and install to Device only - not Storage Card and then reset. http://justpctech.com/PPC/NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab Also make sure your phone is using the 3.5 as default and not 2.5. Go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5.

yes but keep getting Unexpected Error in MaxTTM
I've started another thread along the same lines as this one. Is there a way of installing Rolex, Tag or Omega analog/dual clocks as a standalone cab. I don't want to install MaxManila as I have a number of different reg tweaks that I don't want to uninstall or change. I found this cab that allows me to install a Rolex, but I can't install my 16 Quicklinks app afterwards.
Is there any way I can have both analog clocks and 16 Quicklinks without MaxManila or any other type of software?
Thanks

New dialer from HTC has that function...
hmmm, perfect ROM...
I want WinMo6.5 with old gui,
much free RAM (20MB+),
with Chome editor, secondtoday, homescreen++, network wizard, HTC home plugin, MS office, HTC Audio Manager, HTC Album....,
without manilla
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
wm 6.5.X + manila 2d
I want a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM with the following:
1. MS Office, Internet Explorer, calculator, etc. (the stuff you kind of assume comes with Windows Mobile)
2. Touch scrolling (I don't know if that's normally part of 6.1 or not...)
3. Some kind of connection setup wizard with T-Mobile for the US as an option
4. The HTC task manager would also be nice, but optional
5. My primary language is English, so I would prefer an English ROM
So I pretty much just want a pretty clean WM6.1 ROM... I feel like something like this should exist, but I haven't really been satisfied by any ROM I have tried so far. Does anyone know of one like this that already exists?
EDIT (this is for a future post because I don't want to take this off topic more): Thanks LivArt; I hadn't tried his yet. The included programs he listed always looked further from clean than I was hoping for. I finally flashed it and it's pretty good.
exhno: cracings last 6.1
I want a WM6.5 New GUI. like Cracing's ROM without Manila 2D.

New GUI is good. Like manilla 2.5
What I want in a ROM
a) Stable. Most ROMs nowadays are stable, but I remember when they crashed a lot.
b) Enough free RAM to run programs, without having to reboot. I really like the latest CRACING rom, except that there are several programs that won't launch unless I've just rebooted.
c) Fast. For our poor Wizard, that usually means overclocking support. So build in TodayScreen++ or some other overclocker. And make it fast even without overclocking.
d) Finished. Don't give me dead links, like on the Internet panel of M2D. Don't leave out camera or MMS either. Naked is okay, but what is in the rom needs to be complete, and seem not like a work in progress.
e) Some things just work better when in a ROM, like M2D and Office. Put those in, whether I use them or not.
f) Anything that would run fine in Storage Card, or anything that is being actively developed so that new versions are coming out, keep those OUT of the rom.
Of the roms available on these forums, I like the following quite a bit.
This isn't ordered: I have a hard time picking a favorite. Don't believe my signature: I'm running RoryB's latest rom today.
S.V.I. / RoryB's Angel series: best 6.1 complete
CRACING's CR96 Touch HD series: best 6.5 complete
xda2_haseeb: some awesome 6.5 roms, looking forward to the New Year
md_bluelily's MSD series: best 6.5 naked
Any of the "alpha" roms by Ham3r: awesome 6.5 and best 6.1 naked rom.
In terms of home screens:
Chome is nice but a bit too minimal, and disables the old plugins.
M2D is beautiful and functional but takes too much ram, disables old plugins.
HTC Home is simple, good enough, works with plugins.
SPB 3.5 is best, fully functional, less ram than M2D, works with plugins.
But you can't put SPB in your rom (it's commercial).
So I'd vote for (in order) HTC Home, CHome, M2D.
Which OS?
I like it fingerfriendly so I would prefer WM6.5.x (with new style GUI).
Which TodayScreen?
M2D looks good but needs a lot of packages (and space) in the kitchen. It also eats up a way to much RAM. If you want other features with M2D you can not use additional today-plugins and last but not least our wizard has a slide-out keyboard and even the new M2D 2.0 has no real landscape-mode.
CHome does not need so much RAM, it has a landsacape-mode and there are already quit a lot of extra plugins. But you need special CHome-plugins and you cannot use normal today-plugins, it does not look good and the features and the controll are just to minimal.
HTC-Home is quit old but it works in landscape, needs only very little RAM and you can still run other today-plugins (like calendar+). It has no slide-effects but still is extremly fingerfriendly.
For me HTC Home (with calendar+) is still the best!
Which additional Software?
With HTC Home you don't need CHome Editor or M2DC. I don't even use HTC Home Config.
With WM6.5.x (without M2D) you also don't need extra touchflo stuff.
Important software:
- Total Commander
- WM5torage
- calendar+
- HTC Album (2.x works much better than 3.x!)
- a good text editor (more important than all the Office stuff)
- I would also add a Midlet-Manager like Esmertec Jbed
I also use TomTom and S2U2 but I would not include them in my ROM.
Last but not least I want a german ROM so I cooked my SKYNET ROM!
I pretty much agree, but I use Office for work stuff, believe it or not.
Oh, and I need a rom in English.
6.5 with new GUI
Try Bluelilly's or X2H's

How to tweak? Waht program's needed?

Hi there,
newbie here!
For some weeks now I have the HTC Touch pro....great phone...a bit slow sometimes and needs some tweaking as I have seen and read about.
I already have made some mod's to the TF3D (transparent clock and slider, Background for all pages) but I was wondering: Is manilla a different name for TF3D? Or is it a tweaked OS ?
Do I need manilla to alter some things on my phone?
Can I tweak TF3D myself? What programs are needed for that?
The files for the transparent clock are something like: 234sae6_manilla
No extention! How to added them. Adding .jpg is not working!
Thanks for some answers in advance!
Greetings from Holland!
Mike
(PS: sorry if my typing is a bit of !)
Manila is the codename of TouchFLO.. Manila 2D (M2D) is TouchFLO 2D, and Manila 3D (M3D) is TouchFLO 3D..
If you don't know what is codename, it's a name from the developers before they will give the name for that product. For example the HTC Touch Pro's codename is HTC Raphael. Dopod 900, Qtek 9000, O2 Exec, etc have the same codename : HTC Universal. Sometimes the codename are the same as the product name (Microsoft Windows 7, HTC Legend, HTC Desire etc)
Manila is an application which runs on top of Microsoft Windows Mobile operating system, which replaces the today screen, just like the Spb Mobile Shell, so it is NOT an operating system, the OS is still Windows Mobile.
Once you got the file, you don't need to add extension, just copy to "Windows" folder under "My Device"
TIP : Disable Manila first, sometimes you need to soft-reset if the file access is denied
NICE! That explains a lot!
So a any ROM on this forum contains the OS (Windows mobile) with a custom manila version!
So I can custom manila myself!
But how do I do it? Is there a manila manual on how to change/customize it?
Or how to at tabs to manila?
