M2D message tab issues and temporary solution theory

i mentioned earlier that the xml causes the problem and i think this maybe true. Most themes having issues include designers htchomesettings.xml file that is copied to device and ovewrites entire previous xml. M2D is still beta theres probably different versions on most devices with diff xml floating around...

My solution is that until m2d is a little more universal(meaning most have the most current or same version) designers post what device they use and what m2d build and if users match up(atleast device) a complete cab install should be ok: but if u dont match up as a user wanting theme the designer will also have a zip that includes his theme and hhsettings.xml with adjusted areas highlighted in red/bold or something then users only copy icons and backgrounds to appropriate folder(windows) and for clock the user must edit their own htchomesettings based on the designers highlights in their xml; unless of course designer is willing to edit it for them... this may sound like alot but its really not and beyond invisibles thread explains his very easey weather icon installs. now if the user takes a little time to understand the xml it makes it easy as pie :p

I download this file: TF2D digital clock by pcarvalho, installed it and M2D don't start up anymore:confused:

Damn..this Manila thing drive me mad:cool:

Any sugestions? Thx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] phantomy2g:
what do u mean this is not it at all that post has nothing to do with m2dc its about the xml and hangs with message not pointed at m2dc at all... and i know the post u r referring to that i wrote is it at all right becuz i dealt with it for almost a week in creating my theme seeing the difference of message tab hanging and not and it correlated to the location widget not being enabled on my device along with a icon mask... with so many people designing themes and having issues and im trying to find a solution ur contribution is "na..its not that at all..all i did ( i use MSDC as well ) was disable some of the widgets like the ones i never use ( my faves, operator, settings, launcher and internet ) soft reset and BAM" so please read a little more carefully JStar before u go saying its not it at all sir just to confirm M2DC is great which i have already said is great but the problem is oh yeah just read pal

Edit: and for anyone else that thinks i said M2DC was causing message tab problem please read more carefully my post not once did i say this so u dont say things like "na..its not that at all" when im truely just trying to alleviate this message hang issue

Please help with digital clock

Can someone please edit xml file ,that digital clock can be in right hand side of analog clock, I'm busy with new theme

PLEASE HELP (Good with skinning ,not xml)

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
You didnt post the digits so I dont know what is the width of those png files. But here's how I can help you out

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_1STDIGIT_POS" id="3" value="135, 60" />

Value 60 is for up and down. This is measured from top of image to top of screen (320pixels-screen ht minus the top bar of 25 and manilla title bar of 25). Value 135 is for the start point of digit from left of screen

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_2NDDIGIT_POS" id="4" value="145, 60" />

Value 145 is assuming the width of the digits is 10 pixels

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_SEPARATOR_POS" id="5" value="155, 60" />

Value 155 is assuming the colon is 10 pixels

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_3RDDIGIT_POS" id="6" value="165, 60" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_4THDIGIT_POS" id="7" value="175, 60" />

You can play around with the values as shown above to make the digits fit in. Or you can check my xml explaination thread to know more (link is in first post here)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JCKOTZE:
Sorry forgot digits

Here they are ,thanks for the fast reply

Ok used m2dc M2DC_v0.10.130, installed NOVA_by_spacemonkey from zip.

Everything runs perfect, no hungs. even not in messages.

Suprise, suprise also the weather border I mentioned before now works perfect.

What I did, I switched the 2d off in today config and terminated the process.

Maybe this is the clue, dunno.

Also I have already some messages existing before applying the theme.

edit:

Prophet G4 with SPEEDKING 2, Manila 2D+WM6.1 built-20755.1.4.0 on it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:
:) Did you try the revision I posted? Since your digits are 8 pixels each, i think the 10 pixel shift would be good :) Play around with the up and down or left and right now. Cant test it on my device since I dont want to change my theme ;)

Thanks Ababrekar I'll try it

Need help with M2DC

Hi@all,

i change the original Digital Clock inside the new R1 Rom from udk, with M2DC to the Analog Clock from the Original "HH_Blue Skin". Actually it works fine but... without enabling the small digital clock i can´t change alarm by tapping the Homscreen. It is not possible to select the clock to go to change the settings Clock and Alarm.

If i enable digital clock in M2DC it is possible to change the clock and alarm settings and i see a small digital clock and additionally the analog clock. But the small digital is on wrong position!! Can someone help to fix this? THX in advance!

EDIT: Fixed by myself. Change the Theme and it works fine! I dont know what was wrong with the other theme.

Can someone post the SMS fix... Maybe what exactly they did with the XML or the Mask to get it working.

I have read several different reasons for this error but I don't have M2DC installed. My latest MobileMatt_Bios has the SMS problem but i can't seem to fix it. Some of my older skins are working!

Thanks for your help....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Ameet:

Start Menu problem - can you help?

Hi all,

I have a problem with my start menu and it seems that some others do as well. It seems to be affecting the Kaiser Hyperdragon III OPAL ROMs from Sakajati. He put a great start menu in the ROM but for those of us who used M2DC we lost it when we ran the programme. Unfortunately, restoring the back up did not help. I used version 0.9.127.

Anyway, I know that this thread is not to do with that ROM or the M2D customiser but I thought that some of you might be able to help. I have found a registry key which seems to affect the start menu:

HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu

The key has several values in it which seem to be related to Manila (e.g. "ManilaCustomGrid"). I was wondering whether some of you who have got a start menu functioning with the Manila background and separators could post these registry values and/or upload the .reg file from this Key. My .reg file from this key is attached.

Does anybody know the details of these Manila specific registry keys and what they do?

Thanks,

andrew-in-woking

Help Needed....

Can someone that knows how to fix the SMS mask problem, fix this one for me. I just can't seem to get it to work and it's driving me nuts.

Thanks in advance....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mpenguin14:
So what exactly is this start menu that you mention? HTC Enlarged start menu? QuickMenu? Why is it that you think that M2DC changed your start menu settings? M2DC does not change any Manila2D registry values, the only registry values that M2DC works with are the values for the enabled today screen items, and it backs up these settings and restores them. If there are any issues that you see with M2DC I am more than happy to respond to them via PM or in the M2DC thread
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
is it for the unselcted tab or selected?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mchapman007:
It is Selected... Which one needs to be fixed? Confused!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kidnamedAlbert:
the unselected one. it needs to be the same grey as the original unselected or sms will freeze(so instead of white on that mask, use the grey from original mask
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mpenguin14:
hey mobilematt, I just want to say thanks for all the skins, I change my skin about every 30 minutes but I think I sue your matt in black more than any other skin (I prefer the black/gray/white themes)

So I though it would try to help in figuring out the problem here, so I went over to your site and downloaded you m2dct file (thanks for releasing in that format :)), I applied the theme using my version 0.10 of M2DC and I have no problems with the sms tab.

I would love to help, but unfortunately I was unable to reproduce the error, If I can get the error to happen I will give it another shot but right now your BIOS m2dct version is working well for me (I love the gray and white colors :))

The one thing I was going to look into was that the original hh_fw_tabicon_message_mask.png was a 24 bit png image, and your version is a 32 bit png image, I don't see why that should be a problem, but that is the only difference (other than size) that I could find via the gimp

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] QuiQNeZZ:
Ok, so I had installed the glass digital clock cab. And at some point I think I restored my theme from back up. Then it wouldn't let me re-install the clock, or so the system said. It says that it cannot uninstall the cab file but would I like to install it anyway. So I did, and now both the glass digital clock AND the stock hand clock show up together. I just tried installing the white roledex style clock and it does the same thing. I Still see the hand clock OVER the digital clock.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] showaco:
M2DC recognizes *.m2dct and *.zip files. So those should work without changing.:D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tyguy:
M2DC and ZIP will be recognized by the M2DC customizer.

If you didn't dnld yet from the other thread - use the attached one - for yesterdays release.

Edit:

themefilename.M2DCT is nothing else than a ZIP. So if you receive a ZIP file you can rename it to M2DCT but, as far as the latest version goes, you need not to do so.

Furthermore I guess he said that the ZIP file M U S T contain a HTC...XML while the M2DCT may only contain all the images but I'm not 1000% sure about that.
