Modifying HomeScreen

hey..
got a new problem this time..
well not a problem actually..
i was trying to remove "internet calling: service blocked"..
from my homescreen..
i also removed the software which i downloaded from here for unlocking voip on my WM6.. [BTW installing voip didnt help much.. needed to run gizmo.. no luck]
anyways... the software was removed but not the plugin from homescreen..
trying to remove that led me to customize the screen a lil bit..
I wanted to put my sms,mms and email togethar.. like default HTC home screen has..
and i did do it..
but the only prob i have is...
i'm using windows default as my base color and want white font color..
but htc has black font by default in their default home screen..
and thats why my customized screen also has a black font color which doesnt match...
i admit i'm new to this and lousy coder...
but if someone could help me out or gimme some direction..
i would be thankful..
and also.. if u guys can.. gimme some cool plugins so i can customize my home screen even more..
thanks a lot..

I don't know why everyone keeps asking for videos because unless there is a huge graphical difference (ie themes or change in the likescreen, statusbar, rosie, etc) then it's going to be the same as any other Hero rom out there.
In regards to speed and stability, that's mostly up to you the user. You configure the user.conf to your liking and use whatever apps you want. The more apps you have installed and more widgets you have on your screen the slower and more unstable your phone is. Also the speed of your sdcard could have a factor in it as well. Other factors could be included as well but the bottom line is that most Hero roms are identical to eachother and pretty much work the same way. Any obvious differences that are easily noticed visually is mostly themed.
I say backup what you have with nandroid/bart/switchrom/whatever and try it. Coming from JacHeroSki2.2, I'm noticing that this hasn't given me a single reboot and seems much more stable. But it's pointless to make a video of it because it looks the same. But... if someone would like to indulge us in a video of an MLIGN rom (which will be obsolete after every update by the way) than go for it! It's just my opinion that it's a waste of time.

The reason why i do videos is to show the improvements from the previous ROM.. Other people can then compare then if one of my ROMs suck and its BC of APK editing then i know to not use them.. I'm just trying to show them what is in store for them when i release it.

Glad you started a new thread. the other turned into a kindergarten fight on muscle relaxers
Didnt go to 2.5.5, but Im updating to this now because ive had trouble with gps.
Keep it up man. About now, your one of the only ones left here I have any respect for..... no matter what it is you do with your roms.

I hope not. Ive seen nothing good come of the ram hack on G1's. The phone is only meant to use a set amount of ram, and all it does it become extremely unstable when added. My experience with the ram hack i get nothing but reoots from phone going to sleep and even just sitting the home button.

Btw, can anyone post the default wallpaper (green leaves), or tell me what file the wallpapers are located in? I didn't see a Launcher.apk...
Edit: Also @MLIGN, will v2.5.7 have LED support? Not sure if you were planning on integrating the build.prop from Maxisma or not... AFAIK, there're no LEDs on v2.5.5, right?

well i think he was talking abt recording a video abt his new rom that has the 10mb ram hack in his last thread but idk if this one has it. we have to wait till he releases it n the changelog to see.......

hmmm i got a problem.. i dont get missed call notification on 2.5.5
...Never mind it works now.. it wasnt last night.

And to whoever was askin about the LED's they do work just download the missed call app.

Request/Suggestion
On the next and upcoming versions, could you change the gmail icon? It would be easier for those of us who use two email addresses. In my case, I like to glance at the notification bar to see if I have gmail email aka my business email, but now I can't tell because the HTC mail and gmail notification icons are the same. Thanks bud.
P.S Correct me if I'm wrong, but it was you who posted the twitpic with the purple/jester rosie, right?
EDIT: ON 2.55 I noticed, the browser can get very laggy

TaskFacade 4 and HD2 no animation?

Hi,
Am I the only one that doesn't get an animation with TaskFacade 4?
I tried changing the animation frame number but no luck.
Is there something wrong with the software or perhaps did it rely on CPU cycles to redraw the animation rendering it invisible on the Snapdragon ?

did you soft reset after install?

Yeah, I still get no animations though

me neither, and thats a good thing, even on the fast Acer s200 they are just a tad too slow for my taste.

I have the same issue, do you know other program instead of Taskfacade?

Why have you started a thread for this? there is a taskfacade 4 thread where i presume you downloaded taskfacsard.
is it not sensible to post in there and not pollute with this useless thread?

have you install framework package before?

I have the same issue: No animation... I think, it's because the HD2 is too fast. The animation is there, but it's over far too quickly to be seen. Just a guess...

Same isue, nobody knows???

Yippie! I found a solution! Installing Chainfire's driver patch, the animation is visible!
EDIT: NOOO!!! After soft-resetting, the animation is gone again! I'm not even sure the above mentioned patch even was the cause for the previous working of the animation... Maybe it was something different I did - but I can't remember anything!

[REQ] i need a program to make tabs slide like in iphone

hi
i noticed that it more intuitive when the tabs slide(like in iphone or android)..(see example in the photo)
is there a way to do it?

It's not more intuitive at all - you just want it.
I can't see that ever happening with the Sense UI as it would be a major rework of the application. The best you can hope for is a replacement UI that does it, but then you'd have all the inherant problems of that UI, rather than having Sense and the support of these forums.

i would also like it like that=) but.. nv mnd =)

you can do that in maxmanilla

nope u cant!! he want a SLIDING animation.... without maxmanila u can slide ure fingers from left to rigth....and u come to the next tab but without any sliding effect

you have to install a UI like Mobile Shell from SPG, http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/pocketpc-software/mobileshell/
Unfortunalty you will then miss out some of the nice features in HTC Sense.

[REQ] Manilla sliding pages like iPhone

Hy Guys....
just a quick question to all Manilla Chefs out there....
i had the idea to edit the Manilla, when its possible, to get a Sliding Manilla...
i mean if you look at the iPhone, when you drag the Screnns to the side the next Screenwill smoothly slide in...
in Manilla, whipping with the finger on the screen just manilla jumps to the next page...
i think it shouldn't be the Problem to get the pages too slide, the bottom slider did the trick allready... just want this "goodie" on the hole manilla...
and i doenst need to get the greyed out and big tab Icons while sliding...
hope you understand what i mean...
just an idea but someone has some ideas or knowledge to did this trick!

I remember when the Diamond and Manila 1.0 first came out, there was an animation each time you changed tabs in Manila. It was deacticated later since it was way too slow and people wanted their TF3D experience fast and snappy.

its not very handy to have the slide function as per iphone as:
say you want to go to the second last page, the mannilla scroll bar allows to get there in a single controlled swype but if you had the page scroll like the iphone you would have to scroll through each page or scroll backwards (if its possible) to get to that page.
the point im trying to make is the iphone scroll may well look pretty but the single swipe manilla scroll bar is far more efficient! ask yoursel, is it usefull?

I understand that it wouldn't work very well if it were like the iPhone. Personally I would just like to see the animation back like it was when the diamond came out, I know it was slow then but surly out snapdragon should lap it up now?......

i can confirm that i had the multi swap idea earlier...
nothing to complain about that... this not as handy like now is...
but it looks more smooth...
i found a youtube video where you can see the "old" manilla style did this... its not just swipe the page... .. that was the cause because htc calls his interface 3D ...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6TLqDcAJDo
look around 5:40 .... there the guy starts to use it...
maybe its still in the sense? only disabled as we did on tfl3d on diamond by our own? any one knows the keys anymore?? just searched the forum but didn't find something...

hey correct me if i'm wrong...
the 3d slide effects only happens on diamond when clicking a tab...
when sliding the figer over the tab bar it is like in sense 2.5 ... big curtain with big tab icon will apear??

No, fading effects were removed in latest updates to speed up transitions.
It's not due to tweaks, it's due to ROM update.
To get them back install older version of Manila with fade effects.

I agree, i think it looks crap when you swipe and tap and a tab and there is no animation. If it faded or slide it would be much better. Even the old style was really nice. I think it actually makes it feel more responsive too because its doing a animation while the page loads

Have a try with MaxManila 2.5 v 2.7 Main beta: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551489
This gives you the possibility to swype from page to page (from left to right or vice versa).

what??? Where can i set this in MaxManila??? It´ll delete the animation for the shortcuts... but i cant see an option for a page sliding....

the only way to find this out is to install MaxManila 2.5 version 2.7 beta. After that you'll see that you're able to swype from left to right or vice versa without using the "bottom icons slider". It also will not delete your shortcut animations. It even will allow you to hide the shortcuts and bring them back with a swype of your finger from bottom to top of the screen. Read the post of the OP carefully to understand what this theme does.

........ok so u can slide without with from tab to tab... but the thread means a SLIDING ANIMATION...

would it be possible to take the animation files from the old manila and adapt them for sense?

ok doesn't really understand what you mean...
i can also swipe without maxmanilla without using the tabslider from page to page!!
just wipe obe the main aera...
what we want to get is an animation between the page slides...
dooing this now just jumps from one page to the other... not nice, and it feels and looks like a bit rough ... not as smooth as iphone did this... and i think the smoothnes factor that many iphones users evertime despite is this sluggish hopping page changing in manilla....
Microsoft did it a way better in the new 6.5 Starmenu... just look great and give a good feel...
also the Tab Slides is "animated" like we wannt... why HTC didn't do that onthe "mainpages" ???

maybe yes...
its a starting point to look into an old cab and looks what manilla files did there...
but i'm far away from knowing the manilla depths that we need to implement them...
maybe one of the manilla gurus out there do the trick for us poor people

it would be so nice... if we can slide to the half...hold...and back... like in Iphone Today or Mobile Shell....
