Make the Vox working for 96dpi ???

Hi,
i have testing with the dpi settings for the display and i think 96dpi is realy good to working. But there some bug's and no i ask me if any rom cooker can make a nice rom with 96dpi support. I have seen that win6.1 working on a typhoon with 96dpi by 176x220px ... the vox have 131dpi by 240x320px ... so can anyone help me ?

some images

Hm looks pretty good. How do you change to different DPi"

I've found you just need to set the registry values [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\GPE\LogicalPixelsY] and LogicalPixelsX to 96 in decimal
But for now it's quite buggy..some icons on titlebar are missing
Information source here
It changes icons messages home screen only letters in menus are at the same size
It needs some DLL editing from what i'm reading

Here are some shots
as you can see here the icons of the signal and battery are missing
Here is how the homescreen appears

Hm I noticed the icon problems. When you use the icon bar replacement it works on the homescreen otherwise it doesn't. You also need adjustments for the grid view in the start menu, it doesn't show enough icons, but that should be changeable via reg key too. You need the dll for the icon bar, then you can adjust that too!
EDIT: Yes, you also need bigger backgrounds!

Yes in the linked article they say how to solve the icons issue and why the problem exists but it's for Wm2003 so I haven't tried yet...
OT: thank you frau with your (and others obviously) work with vonix and for the wiki

OK. I think tshres.dll is for the iconbar.

exactly is tshres
"tshres.96.dll: Bluetooth/Wi-Fi/system icons. It even contains PE (Phone Edition) icons.[/url] Locked by the shell32.exe, gwes.exe and device.exe"

The problem is, I just looked in the dll and there are not all the icons, that are usually in the icon bar, like battery icons are missing!

For me it's very painful to look for those icons using the dlls located on the phone..maybe using the kitchen or the OEM SYS folders provided by the DOC...but right know I do not have broadband connection...

Tell me which dlls you need. I'll upload them for you!

Thank you for your cooperation..I'll take a look at the guide this evening..now i do not have spare time...so i'll let you know...
Thanks in advance

nice to see that somebody intressting to this
my idea is to copy the 96dpi stuff form a typhoon rom to the vox rom, and cook this. After this it's going to the fine tune.
For the menu's the regkey's are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\BarFnt
and set the value "ht" to 14-16 ... what you like ... 14 is realy small but good enouth to read ... 15 is i thing the ideal for this
For the Scrollbar (value in px ... 3-4 are good)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cxVscr
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\cyHscr

Sounds good. Can you upload those files?

I have never cooked a rom befor, i have ask "ALEUT" the maker for wm6.1 for the typhoon if he can send me the files from his rom.
if he would send me ... i put them to a server
ore someone told me how i cook a rom ^^

i founded all the icons thanks to frauhottelman...now i have to know how to modify them to be compatible with the 96 DPI MODE.

we will be waiting for you to release something to make vox 96dpi

other than icons you have to make call screens also compatible wioth 96dpi

i think you may wait for a long time...i m not a programmer or whatever else...i've just tryed to do some dll substitution...and till now...this has resulted in phone hardresetting
I've used some 96 dpi dll found here on XDA but with no luck...
if any of you finds a way to just edit the dll we have this could be great.

How to restore Manila 3D animations?

Hello all,
I installed the SwiftBL 7.5 Diamond ROM, but it doesn't have the fancy animations of Manila 3D. Is there a way to get these back, except installing another version or ROM? I searched the registry but couldn't find a key related to animations.

Have you checked with your chef to see if they're using an entirely different version number of Manila? I know it's a long shot but i know M2D lost its little animations after release 19 or so, maybe M3D has a similar caveat with a new version as well?

M3D is version 1.2.34591.1_1813.6 (or at least that's what it reports).
Manila 3D animations aren't gonna disappear unless the ROM chef or user removes them. I'm no expert in customization, so I don't know how it can be done.

I tried installing another M3D version but with no luck.
Can anybody help me?

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

Hi there
Try reviewing this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489
It is very long but the first 20 or so posts will give you the basics.
Please also not that the theming app this is related to is now being developed for Manila 2.5 + and that user of Manila 2.1 (I am one) need to be careful in terms of making sure that you pick the correct .CAB to download as one for Manila 2.5 will not work on a TD2 running Manila 2.1.
What you need is the Max Manila 2.1919xxx Ultimate - v1.0.cab which you will find attached to post #5 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4387068&postcount=5).
But remember whilst uninstallable always back up you data just in case.
Hope that helps?
Happy reading.

Manila .1922 Mods and Tweaks

Im going to try and start a thread for collecting some mods and tweaks for Manila .1922 and above since it seems like a lot of tweaks that were collected for Sense 2.5 before actually break under .1922 and in some instances also crash Manila somteims requireing a hard reset.
Here is what i've found so far :
Max Ultimate Theme - This is a great utility for applying a bunch of popular tweaks all at once as part of a theme, has a settings panel to do on the fly customizations... very useful!
There are separate weaks available for BG4All and for the quicklinks, but since Max Ultimate covers most of them.... theres no need for that.
There is however a need for transparencies, such as bottom slider, top curtain, top bar, softkey bar, calendar, etc. These customizations are not applied with max Ultimate and its hard to find ones for .1922 or which ones will work with tha manila version. Changing the cloks is also not clear, you can try MaxTTM but some of the components work with .1922 and most of them dont.
HDWall is also a great utility to play around with some transparenices but does not seem to have a .1922 patch yet.
If you come across your .1922 tweaks, please post them here.
Thanks

Where can I donwload the 1922 from?
I have the default Orange 1919 one.

I know I miss using HDwall...I love windows 6.5.5 and 1922.....sometimes i want to go back...but I wont hope a patch is made soon. Doesnt seem like anyone is even working on it

so, can i get the 1922 on my htc touch orange branded?
