[REQ] Manila 2.5/2.6/Sense - 4 Columns Shortcuts, Missed Calls, Date Format - Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps

Lokking for some new manila tweaks:
1.is it possible to change the shortcuts in Manila 2.5/2.5/Sense to 4 columns?
They're too big anyway and icons look bad this big...
2.there is no missed calls indicator in new manila, only in taskbar, is it possible to add bubble for missed calls in home tab icon like in new SMS or new EMAIL?
3.could not change date format, i edit 2c89bd29_manila but it does not shown correctly (shows IDS_??????)... how can i set date format to 31.12.2009?
10x.

Hi,
I tried to edit the file you wrote here (2c89bd29_manila) and it works correctly. I have edited the IDS_DATEFORMAT and have also found there the IDS_DATEFORMAT_SMALLVIEW value, which I have also edited and it also works...
Perhaps you have specified an incorrect formatting symbols and the parser doesn't understand it and therefore it displays that... Try d.MM.yyyy
I have manila version 2.5.19193431.0
SmArt

Any news on the missing missed call thingy ? Would be very cool if we could have this back in 2.5. I saw some german guys talking about replacing the text "agenda" (under the date / alarm buttons) by missed calls. Could make much of the german though. would be nice, who needs the "agenda" text anyway..

It has been discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553307
In fact, you can show the call history and you can also change the softkey of M2.5 by using this tool.

Shortcut to "New SMS"?

Hi!
First post here.
I don't want the sms-functionality of TF3D active due to different reasons (prying eyes for example).
Is it possible to do: "create new sms" when i hold down the left soft-key?
Perhaps a ".exe" file for such a feature exists?
Other shortcuts perhaps?

- sorry for OT, I don't know of any shortcuts.
soundie, I used HDTweak to change the left soft-key option from 'Phone' to 'New SMS', so now I can start a new SMS with a single tap from the home screen.

Create shortcut
Hi
Here's my solution:
Make a new .txt file and in it write:
44#\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to ""
rename this file to New SMS.lnk (i.e. change the extension to .lnk)
Copy this link file to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
Select the New SMS "application" to one of your buttons in Settings>Personal>Buttons.
Cheers

that method hadnt even crossed my mind.

Hi bnm7bnm
Check out the start menu customisation link in my signature. Obviously you might not want to use those icons but hopefully it will help you identify how to change an icon.
By the way, I am just about to release a new icon set for start menu and ROM icons customisation so will notify you about that.

How to do that?
there'e all files I used:
more additional and simpler method
used only 2 files:
Nice and thanks
I tried the two files and they worked well here (Pure running Tess 4.1)
I had a few personel changes I would prefer
White(er) clock digits would be more visable on my dark background
And I sometime have a hard time finding the current icon (to slide it )
with the transparent slider, I mainly changed it to get the 5 icons
Either of these "user" adjustable?
(wasn't there a select from multiple clock faces setting somewhere?)
I also noticed (its what really 1st got my attention!)
you have 5 launcher icons
I really like that feature! or even 4 wide how many total icons (rows?)
and how did you do that?
Thanks

+1 (it's true 9 shortcuts it's not enought)
Sorry as a follow up I decide to remove the clock and slider
unfortunately I was unable to remove the clock completely
(remove programs failed) Fortunately I had backed up first and
was abel to get back the original white flip clock with a cold reset and restore
I might have had more luck if I turned off TF3D before attempting removal?
but just as a heads up the cams I had the problems with were
No_BG.cam and No_slider1920.cab
I've also noted that it Doesn't look like the task bars with the two file solution
are actually transparent? they look solid black?
The pic thats with the three files TF3D 2.5 top and bottom curtain files
and clock 26 trans. looks more like what I'm looking for, bit I don't understand how you replace the single manila files with the 3 masks (they all have the same name. even though in different subdirs) but can't help but wonder if these will work with the set of "colored task bar icons" I'm using? (aren't the masks
specific to the icons artwork?
I know I've asked "a lot" and from two different authors, but I'd be willing to
bet its an interesting topic that at least a few people would like to know more about.
Thanks
KJL
I'd like to have the bottom slider (the one for selecting tabs) semitransparent.. Actually it is in today screen, ma I'd like to have it semitransparent also on all tabs.
Back to the launcher icons. Anyone has an idea how to get 4 and more there?
Hi,
I can't do this task!
After turning off the HTC Sense, I tried to copy and paste files, but the unit had the following message:
Can not copy 'Access Denied'
Make sure that the memory is enough free storage, the destination is not write protected and file is not being used
I am performing a wrong way?

How to do these manila modifications?

Hello all and Happy new year
EDIT: This one is Done
I have a question: Is somebody able to change the date format in Sense 2.5s home screen? When I set the regional settings of my phone to Bulgarian, the whole date is too long and some time goes even under the Alarm time! Can someone make it look as in manila 2.1? the format there was dd/MMMM/YYYY two digit date, name of the month, four digit year.
Now lets see how to do this one
I saw that some links in Sense/Manila's home screen can be changed. Can the "Calendar" link in Sense 2.5's home screen be converted to "Call History"

Thanks for this too but this one adds the Call history and I want to replace the Calendar link! Can somebody provide me with the 2.1 Manila file that is responsible for the home screen links? I'll figure a way to replicate it over the 2.5 file!
BTW I allready changed the Link name! It says "Call History" now instead of "Calendar" but this was very easy. Now I have to figure how to link it to the coresponding manila page and make the link display missed call count.
Any inside on the matter will be very helpfull
Just for reference, the en-gb file you need to edit to change the date format is 333c03cb_manila.
I have successfully changed the date format. It is the Call history that I'm looking at now
Can somebody provide me with the coresponding manila file from Manila 2.1 PLS?

WinMo default Icons Set for HD2

Hello everybody.
I've installed a magnificent ROM in my HD2, I like it all but the changed icons set. Is it possible to have a CAB containing thge original Windows Mobile Icons set to replace the modified one?
Or where are the files to extract from the orginal HTC rom to override the actual ones to get the original icons?
Thanks and regards
Andrea

The majority of the icons you see in a stock ROM are actually the icons embedded in the applications themselves. Icon's are generally not stored as separate entities on your device. This isn't always the case, but it's normal.
The modified icons you see are actually tied into the shortcuts, not the applications. To remove modified icons, you need to look at the following registry key...
\HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
In there you will find registry keys that have are shortcuts and have a value called "Icon". (Guess what that is )
You can delete things from there, and as long as the app has its own icon, it will use that instead.
Just PLEASE make a backup of that whole registry key before you start. I'm not gonna be your 1st line support for the next month if you gash this up lol.
Hope that helps matey
I believe you can use a simple way to restore.JWMD Icon Changer has an option to restore/reset the icon. PLease tell us if it works.

So, I have to change just 1 icon only in Settings/System folder, I used already uComber and JWMD Icon Changer v3.1b but no 1 ot them see the icon of the application, basically the ugly icon of SRS WOW HD Equalizer I can't change it. Enyone who have SRS know the icon is ugly but the program is amazing. But I really wanto to change that icon.
Is the last thing to make my rom looking well.
Someone said it's possible vie Registry but i am not sure about that because I am not into that section, but I can do it if someone explain to me how.
How can I change that icon?

do you see the icon of WOW HD Settings? That's the icon which I can't change and I do not understand why!
If you can not see it in JWD then you will need hunt it in the registry & link a PNG file to it.
Have a look at this thread to help pin it down in registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6188525&postcount=1
If you have problems finding it you could export & upload parts of the registry tree for us to help.
Other option if you have installed srsWOW via cab is to edit cab/exe icons prior to install.
*JWD tip: some icons show as default JWD paint pallet & no text so you got to guess what they are ! have another good look ...
