Manila Mods

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.

Hi All...
Thought I'd add a coiple more Images as its been a few days since anyone posted here..... and I really do think this is a worthwhile thread
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.

[APP] Vista & Buuf Program Folders

I have been learning a lot about iconizing everything these last days, and I created some custom folders Vista style. So anyone ho wants to order his or here applications, here are some folders to put them in. They are VGA (tested) and should also be QVGA.
I named the folder 1 to 18, so everybody can decide for themselves which folder to to use for what purpose.
Since I use quickcab to create my cabs, which doesn't allow me put in the folder files, it's been split in two. A Vista Folders.zip which contains the Vista Icons.dll. Install this one in \Windows. The other one is a zip file which contains the Folder folder, with inside (who would have guessed...) the folders. Just copy them to your device (although I don't think copying them to the storage card works) and voila some more folders to up our devices. So, screenshots:
I hope you like them, and no I have not got any other folders (these are all vista offers)
Edit: I managed to create a .cab file that installs these into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. For those that don't have a English/WWE ROM I'll make another one that installs the folders into \Folder folder.
Edit 2: Shrank the .dll file, link is updated to vista folders 1.1
There is one icon set that is very dear to me, which is the Buuf icon set by Manhattan. Of this set I have selected a couple of folder icons most likely to be used in a ppc environment. This guy (or girl) created over 1500 icons in this style which you can find on DeviantArt. These are my default folder icons, so I thought I'd share. Screen shots!:
Download the 12aon Vista Folders.cab here

Not really a theme per se, for the taskbar mods check here for the font check diamond forum there is a topic about all kinds of different fonts mine is call hand_police or something

I managed to create a .cab file, which installs the folders to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs, I will make another cab later that install the "Folder folder" into the root of the device, cheers 12

Updated The link to Vista folder with version 1.1

Manila 2D - how to put shortcut to apllication on "LauncherWidget"

Hi all!
I have Asus P552 - PL orange brand,
Installed Manila 2d - 19b version for all devices and M2DC.
Also I have on memory card some apllication but now they are not available in programs folder - after HR.
I would like to know how to put shortcut to application from memory card (which is not available on programs filder) on "LauncherWidget" M2D??
Anyone?
"Operator settings 0.40" dosent work, only crashed manila.

Shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Hi
You need to create a shortcut to the file you want to open and place it in:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Obviously this will also make the file accessible in your standard WM Start Menu. To achieve this you will need a file explorer. You can do it in the standard Windows Mobile File Explorer as long as you ensure "Show All Files" is enabled. Otherwise, Total Commander PPC is very good and when you select Menu and File you get an option "Create Shortcut" from which you can specify the shortcut location.
Cheers

Works!

Sustanon, sorry to barge in on your thread, but I see you have M2D running on the Asus P552.
I'm hoping to get M2D running on my dad's XDA Zest (which afaik is a rebranded Asus P552).
Would you mind giving a quick rundown of whats needed to make it work on the Asus?
I found the post here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2761662&postcount=3885
Do I have to install all the attached cab's then install the all devices version of the M2D ?
Also any reason why you are using v19.. I see the latest is v21, I presume all after v19 are patched for all devices, or is that not the case?
Many Thanks!

Hi!
I have this one "ALL DEVICES (VERSION 19b) WITH YOUTUBE ON INTERNET WIDGET" from there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2761662&postcount=3885 but some apllications doesnt work, like HTC album alnd HTC audio manager (Asus have own managers EZI Photo and Ezi Music - by the way - they are crappy looks and not fingerfriendly ) - You can turn off tabs in Manila 2d which not work.
You need to install all the cabs from this pack, they have correctly numbers.
You can try to install without Audio Manager and Photo Manager,
Install also M2DC - but dont turn on "OperatorWidget" - this one can crashed Your Manila.
Some times ago I tried v21 but it doesnt work.
Install Manila on clean system. After HR.
Try also this application to have better manila looks os:
iContact,
FingerSuite,
HTC Calculator
and some dialer
When You istall everything try this Windows .tsk theme
@attachment
I hope helpfully.
EDIT: BY THE WAY - Asus Glide works terrible!! Slow and not really fingerfriendly

Thanks for the reply.
I have just been searching some more and now I'm not so sure that the XDA Zest is the Asus P552..
Does your Asus have a VGA screen?
I'm pretty sure that my dad's XDA has a VGA screen but there doesn't appear to be much info around regarding which Asus device the zest really is.

zest http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1480
p552 http://www.pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1468
compare
zest - better battery, resolution screen, usb 2.0
why?!

Nice link, haven't seen that site before..
Doesn't look like M2D will be going on to the Zest then, I can only find a fairly old version for VGA which the author says eats memory.
Thanks for your help anyway!

Clock issues after upgradading WinMo 6.5

Hi guys!
I noticed that the clock (Manila 2.5) has some problems, for instances, after tapping the Quick Menu button or after tapping the home button, seems like the clocks delays and then returns to the actual hour.
Do you have the same problem, do you know how to solve it?
Thanks a lot!

That's not a problem, its a "feature" implemented by HTC to show off their flippy clock
MaxTTM has the ability to do this. It's available on the home layouts under "Flip No Anim"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493011

Thank you very much! Will test it!!

OK, and how can I do the correction of this mistake? Because for me it's mistake, not "feature".

To get rid of flip animation, just unzip and copy this file to your Windows directory.

Thanks, i was looking for it

Im sorry but it doesnt work for me unzipped it in Windows and made read-only but still the problem.
Please look at my picture for device
EDIT
Searched some more and found this cab working for me

You should have just tried using total commander or such, as the built in file explorer will not work for this.

[Q] How to run "Home" or "HTC Notifier"

hi everyone, I would like to associate "Home" and "HTC Notifier" to a hardware button, but I don't find respective .exe , it seems to be started with shell32 or whatever but I can't find any informations. Thanks for any advices.

Here some executables to standard defaults
Here some executables WM5/WM6 to standard defaults;
Start Menu
Message Notifier
View Program Files; folderview.exe Unzip and put this file in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home
View Settings; htcSettings.exe Unzip and put the file in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home
I'll get back to you @ a later time (with more executables). First I need to dig into my database; I'm missing a few realy handy utils! BBL,

Thanks Senax for your advices, but I mean "Home" such as "Show Desktop" ... and notifier for "HTC Notifier" in top bar which is too bad to launch from top bar ...

Show DeskTop - Today Screen
Show Desktop cq Today Screen;
via PHM Tools .. zipped and I do not know if its complete/original
Though Desktop.exe does its job Plus all other utilities
Have a nice day,
