Hi,
Sorry if there is a simple straight forward answer to this question but im still a bit of a noob! I have the rom - XDA2_Haseeb's WM6.5 (CHome+LockScreen - 21215) and i am trying to install homescreen plusplus on it, however when i do so all i get is a folder in programs with a Task List TaskManager icon in. When i try to run it nothing happens?
I have tried downloading the Basic edition the advanced and the UI version with the same thing happening.
Does this program work with this ROM?
Many thanks in advanced!
Dave
You have to go to Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items
Uncheck "Windows Default" and check the Homescreen one at the bottom.
However, doing this disables the new CHome today screen. As far as I know, that's the only way to do it.
You can also try chi-tai's Second today so you can switch between CHome & your standard today screen with HomeScreen++.-
excuse me for using this thread but can someone help me with a link to homescreen ++ ?
i've been searching for it.don't know if there's a thread about stuff like that in the forum, sry if there is ... i'm new here.
You can visit the official page or download the cab from the attachment .-

As far as I know there aren't a lot lot raph's owner editing their manila to add a calendar, call history or comm manager tab. I bumped into all kinds of wall's when I tried to add an calendar tab. After a lot of searching and trying I can't get manila editor 2.0 to recognize the 26948339_manila file, It just doesn't see it for some reason. Anybody else tried and succeeded? Or to add other tabs? This could be the thread where different kinds of manila mods on raphael could be discussed. I'll posted it here when I have found a solution, cheers
These are some of the tabs, already in the diamond forum, Calendar, comm manager and Call history
Hi!
I currently have the calendar and commanager tabs working on my touch pro.
I took me some working to get them there, but i did it.
Try installing the theme posted on the link below, it has both tabs and is basically the original theme with the greens changed into blue (my creation).
You can apply the theme with Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool v 3.2.
Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?oxbz2eayvgu
Cheers and good luck.
Real nice thank you! Did you do this with manila editor? You mean to say open with TF3D config right? Either way can't seem to open it (i did use AC 3.2 and). Must be doing something wrong...
First, you got it right, I meant the Diamond TF3D Config instead of configurator, sorry for the mistake.
What version of the TF3D config are you using? I'm using 0.6.7 and i've just installed this very same theme after having changed to another one previously....
Where/how are you trying to install the theme? Are you going in the "appearence", selecting the directory where you placed the .theme file clicking on "path", selecting the theme it self on the drop down list, then clicking on "apply" and hitting "start"...
Maybe you missed some of these steps?
Anyways, take a further look and search into the diamond themes threads, you may find your way...
Cheers.
I would love a "tasks" tab...

Hey man thanks for replying did all that but it doesn't show, also have the latest version(apptodate), maybe it has thye wrong format. I'm on romeos. Here are some screenshot's. But could you also tell me how you edited these because I cannot get manila editor the read 26948339_manila. Anyway thans a lot , cheers
I'm out of ways to try to edit 26948339_manila (to add a calendar tab to manila), there is just no way this file is seen by manila editor 0.2. I'm using this on vista, maybe someone else has some info...
I have managed to install comm manager via this cab
Use a notepad like application (windows XP Notepad worked for me), not the manilla editor. Don't forget to change the file attributes to "writeable" (not read-only) prior to editing it.
Good luck.

Now my default theme. Thankyou. I was bored with the Vodafone one.
The call history page locks up each time I switch to it. Everything else works perfectly. What am I missing?
I succeeded in getting either a calendar tab or comm manager tab. Will attach the manila files, which are those created by D-MAN666 + 26948339_manila I edited (thanks cassiano)
Ok I succeeded in installing both of the tabs, with the above cab and these manila files (copy them to your windows folder with total commander). Something new has come up though, my home screen calander link became unresponsive (it doesn't link any more)

I had the same issue...and think it was because I loaded the Calendar tab first. Blob8Me has 14 tabs total with no issues, but went in a sequence that allowed it. I don't want to remove my calendar tab to install the call history tab first. Holding my ground with just 12 tabs.

I'm still using the Diamond Forum for most developments as much of the work done there works for the Raphael seemlessly - not all, but most. The next major development I'm waiting for is the ability to apply the Home wall-paper to all Tabs in TF3D but this doesnt quite work yet although I made some small progress with mun_rus's work for the Sprint Diamond - see post #78 in link bellow!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951&page=8
So - changes I've made since my last post here - I've added a sound settings tab - that gives me 14 active and useful tabs now I've added the analog clock to my home Tab - loosing the call history & appointment but I have the call history tab and still get my reminders for appointments. I've also added the VGA battery icon and tweaked the Titles on a couple of pages.
Current Tabs are:
Home - Of Course!
Speed Dial (People Tab)
Messages
Mail (Blackberry Connect & Emoze Free Push email client - www.emoze.com - both in use - very happy)
Jeff's Day (D-Man666's Calendar Tab)
Call History
Weather
Ohoto's & Videos
Music
Internet
Comm Manager (IDS_Communications Tab)
Settings
Programs
Sound Settings (Sound Tab)
A few (but not all) screenshots attached for info -those with the wallpaper as a background (weather, calendar) are as a result of woring on the background changer from mun_rus - please search this and the Diamond forum before asking for cabs, code etc.....
So - Lets see some more activity on the forum from Raphael users...... we do, after all have the best phone available in the world at the moment?

Yes, because the Call History and Calendar had the same number. Moved the Call History to page 11. Still locked when I went into the tab. Just uninstalled. I will install the Call History first after I install the Elite Rom (once released). Not sweating about it right now.
I was looking to reactivate the non responsive calendar link on the home screen but I suddenly got another tab added (the unresponsive link seems to be caused by mun_rus' Backgound Image on All Pages)

To be honest (having done a lot of this) I find that the standard notebook app that comes with windows is fine for basic edits????
.
I installed the Calendar tab on my Touch Pro - everything is working except the month and days are displayed as IDS_CALENDAR_xxxxxxx (xxxx being the name of month/day).
Where is this filed substituted?
Nevermind, I got it - the zip did not include one important file. I got it from elswhere, now it works.

I had my phone running great with Touch Flo 2d (Manila 2d), even put that customizing program on it and changed themes with it. I didn't like the clock in a particular theme I picked, so I was trying to install a clock from the Manila 2d skins thread, it was called Glass Clock by Aladdin or something like that.
I did NOT turn of TouchFlo in the Today Screen Items when I installed the clock. Once the clock was installed, I turned TouchFlo off and back on again, but it just won't start. It tells me to "tap here to launch touch flo" then it says that it's launching, but then it just goes back to "tap here to lauch" again.
What do I do now? I tried unistalling that damn clock, but it doesn't show up in add/remove programs. I tried reinstalling it, at which point it told me that it would unistall the first version first, but all that failed, it couldn't unistall the first version and as a result to whole install failed.
Any idea on how I can fix this? I am using version 19.
reinstall again then try unistalling
I got it working again. I used the M2d Customizer to restore the settings of the theme I had installed. After that M2d started again but the clock of that theme was messed up. So I turned the clock off using M2d, then turned it back on, and now everything works fine again.
I'm having this problem. I can't find where to uninstall it. it's not in the programs list and disabling teh clock did not solve it for me

Hi. I'm running Manila 2D 19 and I have HTC boot launcher, task manager, and quick menu installed. I believe those are all the programs I need for it to work, but the top right corner is just blank.
I did a search and found people referring to an option under settings --> task manager --> buttons --> enable in quick menu? But I don't have that option.
Weird thing is that it works fine with Manila 2D 22. Any suggestions? Thx.
I have the same problem, I searched alot in the forms for a solution without getting good resluts. Can anyone help with this issue?
I have HTC Cruise 2 with WM6.1.

I had the same problem. Installed some kind of HTC taskmanager (Google helps) and after that witk SKTools changed back to original ROM files (look for *task* in the listing in SKTools). Now I have the icon bac on its place and working.
Solution
Normally you can find in your HTC Phone the following setting:
Settings/system/task manager/button/enable the "X" button to end running/end programs by tapping "X".
if you cannot find task manager in Settings/system/,that's because the chef didnt cook it into the rom.
The solution for missing Task Manger Setting:
if there is no Task Manager setting,then you need to download Touch X Taskmanager.cab,install,use resco explorer to search TaskManagerApp.exe in Windows (in my wm6.1,the shortcut dont appear in Startup menu),open it,and in Buttons,enable end programs by tapping "X".
Need to reset to take effect.
Touch X Taskmanager.cab can be downloaded in this thread:

Thanks, mine disappeared too, have no idea how? lol.
Works now!

Hey all,
I am currently using the energy rom with TF3D2..
I'm not to good at alterations to the phone and tweaks etc. but i am wondering.. on the home screen where the clock is.. the softkeys are LEFT: Contacts RIGHT: Comm Mgr.
Now my question is.. am i able to change the Comm Mgr. one (as i never use it) to say an action screen that i've installed? I have tried numerous things and they dont seem to work. On the original Touch Flo i knew how to do it but as i said, i cant figure out how to do it on the new one..
Any help would be much appreciated!

My bad. Thats a ROMeOS exclusive thing .
Sounds like you are using WM6.5.
The CHome homescreen takes over the softkey assignments the same way TouchFlo3D does. In order to change the Left and Right Softkey, you'll have to make the change manually in the registry or from a CHome Titanium Customizer.
The registry setting is easy if you know the link url to the file you want
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\
Find the Strings "SK2TEXT" and "SK2URL". The SK2TEXT is the name the button will display, and the URL is the link.
If you're wondering, in the main CHome Key (folder) you'll find the SK1TEXT and SK1URL which is the Left SoftKey; although I would leave contacts up there.
he said hes using tf3d2. he didnt say he was using chome.
Thanks for that! I found it in the registry.. the only thing is.. how do i create a URL for the program that i want to run when i click that softkey?

Check out NRGZ's "Titanium" only includes the Titanium today plugin, which is the default Windows Mobile 6.5 homescreen interface. No Manila (TF3D) in this version.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86491
actually i was looking for no interface at all in a rom. not just disable it, just the screen like the mogul, but 6.5 so i can have the start menue that 6.5 offers.
edit: Well, I'll have to put a raincheck on that till I have some more time.
why not just disable the respective today screens?
Yea in all the 6.5 roms you can revert back to that blank home screen.
Just go to start -> settings -> today and look for the "items" tab and just uncheck everything hit ok and when you got back to the home screen it should be just like the old school 6.1 home screen.
