[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cert_:
How's a normal android phone handling mobile connections, phone calls, SMS sending? Does the phone manufacturer have to take care of this? Or is everything included in the Android X86 / Bliss OS builds? Can i use my tablet like a normal mobile phone? My Acer W701 tablet (Intel i5) has a build-in 3G usb modem and is running with Bliss OS. It's 3G usb modem from Huawei and it's listed when i check USB devices with lsusb. I can use this modem with ubuntu linux. When there's everything included in Android X86/ Bliss, why is it not possible to use my tablet like a phone?

[Windows Mobile Themes] deonidis:
very nice background,clock too,

[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Thanks.

I'm planning to release alternate icons, but did not had the time to apply my magic on them ;)

[Windows Mobile Themes] DMAND:
WOW, not a big fan of the mac icons, but this looks nice and tidy
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Awesome skin, I agree though, the MAC icons are a bit out of place. Can't wait to see your 'alternate' icons for this. Well done and thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cp_kirkley:
This is great work, looks fantastic. Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Themes] x-treems:
Amazing !!!

Damn looks amazing :)

Is it support animations like diamond? thank you so much
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
I had a vision of an alternate look for this. Take it for what it's worth, just talking out loud in case you might be interested in ideas. What about making the grey bars on this the black marble you use for the highlighted icon, and making the highlighted icon look like the white marble the clock has? Or possibly the reverse, white marble bars with black marble icon like you currently have.
[Windows Mobile Themes] gbmitchell:
Perhaps you can get this linked in TWolf's skins thread just to make sure that no one misses it. Great work

EDIT: oh and i lied i dwnloaded this skin in the morning and have been using it all day. looks amazing! i absolutly love the look. especially the clock and tab.
[Windows Mobile Themes] spartamusprime:
Is it possible you can take the icons from the Throttle Launcher Feng Shui theme and use them with this?

[Windows Mobile Themes] kidnamedAlbert:
you can but its more complicated than it sounds. plus we'd have to make a whole new one for google maps...
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
New icon set, see post 2 ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Sounds good. I'm also quite not satisfied with those bars anyway. Maybe I will try something whenever I have some time. :)

Doh. I'm using this nick when I was playing CS when it came out. Was part of team, all coming from the same region in France which corresponding number is 67....Well this was in a previous life I guess ;)

Not if you have access to the source icons :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] twolf:
The second batch of icons are beautiful, congratulations! :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Thanks twolf, glad to see they suit you ;)

And thank you also to all the other members.

More than 550 downloads that's nice ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] colonel00:
Really like what you are doing. Any chance you would be willing to work on landscape support too?
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Awesome icons! Loving the feel of this asian theme. Can't wait to see further tweaks you may do to this.

Any chance of doing a matching S2U2 and/or PocketCM Contacts skin? =)
[Windows Mobile Themes] :
I think i am in love
[Windows Mobile Themes] noyz:
Beautiful icons they truly are art.

Besides that though, I'm having trouble copying one file from the update post. the hh_fw_tab_bg_fill file, its always in use for some reason or another whether or not touch flo is disabled. Any help?

(otherwise I'm stuck with the blue stock with this rom fill and it just screws it all up)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Try with this one attached here. Check also that on your mobile the original file is not locked somehow (write only etc...). Depending on the program you are using to transfer the files it may block also.

Usually, I transfer the files on my SD card, then use Total Commander to copy over in /Windows.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
mmh This version of manilla is not intended to use landscape as it comes from a portrait only device.

Maybe we should try to see if there's also a kinda xml file in the raphael version of Manilla, just to check if there are some specific instructions on how to apply different settings wether you are in landscape or portrait, and try to use them with manilla 2D.

If it's possible, I would be glad to do a landscape version.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
S2U2 why not, let's see if I can do something, but I don't promise anything.
[Windows Mobile Themes] deonidis:
now that icon set go much,much better with this

them

i can suggest to change mail icon
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Alternate bars (marble) available, see post #1 for preview and post #2 for download.
[Windows Mobile Themes] lepsyfou:
super mon ami, comme dab :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] colonel00:
There are several of us working on landscape support and editing the xml. I was more curious as to whether you would have a compatible background that would work. Basically 320 x 320.
[Windows Mobile Themes] noyz:
Thanks much, I was using File Explorer and despite being able to copy all the other files fine, it was having trouble with that one. Swapped over to Total Commander and it worked like a charm, thanks again. :D
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Awesome, that looks perfect! Love it, the new icons and bars make it 100% better. Many thanks for all your hard work on this.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Anything you do I'm sure will be great, thanks for responding to my suggestion. In no way would I expect anything, but if you don't ask you have 0 chance. =)
[Windows Mobile Themes] nkawal:
anyway you can make the new icons into a cab file. Your theme in my opinion is the best, I keep trying the differnt manilla roms for my vogue and most of them i cannot copy the files for the icons into the windows folder. I know that I have to disable touchflo first, still doesnt copy.The icons just makes this theme complete. Any new themes you working on?
[Windows Mobile Themes] bbakermai:
Start Menu Background Question

Great theme, Dredd 67! I have a question I have not found an answer to in this thread or the skins thread.

I would like to use a different overall background, and by replacing the hh_fw_background graphic in \Windows, that is accomplished, but your original bonsai tree still shows in the start menu background. I used SK Tools to set the Start Menu Background to black in the registry. Any pointers on a Registry or HTCHomeSettings.xml edit I need to do to reset the start menu to transparent or black? Thanks for your great work! I was also able to integrate the Beyond Invisible Weather mod as well and it all looks fantastic.

EDIT: Never Mind. I had hh_fw_background checked in the Today Settings, and it must have been cached somehow. All good now!
[Windows Mobile Themes] theelite:
great theme! anyone happen to be working on an s2u2 theme?
[Windows Mobile Themes] blackangst:
Beautiful theme! Too bad touch flo doesnt work on my WM6.1 Titan :(
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_scotsman:
Is there any requirements for this to work other thna having the latest Mobile Shell?

I ran the cab, but the theme didnt appear and my device started running very slowly. I had to uninstall it.

DO we need to have touch flo?
[Windows Mobile Themes] blackangst:
Same happened to me but it turned out to be touchflo locked up mine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
This doesn't run on SPB Mobile Shell if that's what you are asking. It runs on TouchFLO 2D (aka Manilla 2D).
[Windows Mobile Themes] the_scotsman:
DOH!!!!

I misread the title, I thought it was a Mobile Shell theme...my bad!

So where to we acquire TouchFlo 2D?

Is that the Touch Flo that was floating around months back when it first came out or is this something else?

I have a Himalaya, so I guess I need to find a cab for that...:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] weescotsman:
Love the new theme , the only problem im having is when i copy over the new bars , using resco , i go to the main screen and if i go left or right once it go to my messages the launching touch flo screen comes up , cant access it , i reinstalled the cab without using the new bars and can access it fine , wondering if anyone else came across this . Other than that its perfect
[Windows Mobile Themes] nitty917:
Could you make this sweet theme to go with the official Diamond?
[Windows Mobile Themes] xthephreakx:
I really love this theme

there is only 1 downside to it

i liked the original analog clock better than the Diamond clock

is there a way to bring that back ?

thnx

Mau
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Just go to the theme thread, and download the clock that suits you. Be sure to update also the xml file, as I don't know if it is included together with the graphics.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
No, it's for manilla 2D only, meaning it's QVGA.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
As requested, post #2 updated with link to .cab installation for the new icon set.
[Windows Mobile Themes] erwinsie:
request please :)

can u make this skin with analog clock ?? thanks
[Windows Mobile Themes] jaydee33:
Having the same problem. Skin works great and is fantastic except when I try to access the messages tab. Then touchflo resets. Only a problem since installing the new icons but I almost can't live without them. Any advice would be great.
[Windows Mobile Themes] smartsalman:
same problem here. when i copy over the new icons, then try to access the messages touchflo crashes then tells me to restart it by clicking on it....

anyone know why?
[Windows Mobile Themes] furikuri:
same here..anyone have any advise pleaseee help usssss...:confused:
[Windows Mobile Themes] blackangst:
OK I hope this helps. I got it running on my Titan. Guess what- I went through and and payed attention and followed directions lol..no offense meant, but Im like many I wanna download and go!

In his text he says to make sure we have the basic Manila 2D theme ALREADY installed...which I hadnt. Do a search for manila 2d, find the the thread with the instructions and there is one post that gives a link to download EVERYTHING needed. WARNING! There are about 10-12 programs to install!

But...

It looks nice :) Will be playing with it over the next few days. Thanks for the great design!
[Windows Mobile Themes] jackleung:
Man, it's so good looking!!

EDIT: as someone already mentioned, messages failed to display after I use the zip file and replaced the icons on my customized M2D (w/ icon folder set to \Program Files\Manilla2D)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Did you try the cab install or the zip ?
[Windows Mobile Themes] JNasty:
S2U2 Wallpaper

Anyway I can get the wallpaper for this? I'd like to use it as my background for S2U2.
[Windows Mobile Themes] smartsalman:
i unzipped it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] nitty917:
yea mines crashes too when you drag over new icons and bars. this is for text messages, everything else works.
[Windows Mobile Themes] jaydee33:
Nice suggestion but my problem might be that the Manila theme has already been cooked into my rom - WMD 1.2. Like I said it works fine until new icon are installed either by .cab or the .zip files. Still love showing this one off.
[Windows Mobile Themes] arigold1:
Any chance you can make some matching 12hour clock icons?

Please :D

Ari
[Windows Mobile Themes] MDANavymom:
My Wing wont run Touch2Flo, but I would love the tsk for this
[Windows Mobile Themes] Xenn:
Everything works great, the only thing i wish to do is change the background and clock? How do i set that up? For the clock i'm trying 2 do the Colon Clock, the background is my own. Is there anything i need to change in the regedit?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
OK I've made a new cab (post #2) which should hopefully correct the small glitches some of you had.

For those who are using a rom with built-in manilla, make sure you have done a hard reset after flashing your device, because some files may not update properly otherwise.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Total_Lag:
Still Crashing

M2D is still crashing for me whenever I try to access the 'Messages' tab
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Have you manilla built-in ? If yes, do a hard reset. I had those kind of issues with a bad flash.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
I have a Verizon Touch (XV6900) that is stock ROM and have the same problem. Running Beta .09 of Manilla 2D freshly loaded today then installed your new CAB from today as well. Soft reset after installing Feng Shui theme.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Total_Lag:
It is not built-in, I'm installing everything from .cabs and tried using it on a stock rom, and also nueROM.
[Windows Mobile Themes] kcguy:
possibility?

This is a very classy theme! Any chance it will be adapted for mobile shell 2.1,

I know you have done some other skins for ms2&2.1?
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
I've been reading that a few others have had problems with this as well and it seems to be related to the icon files in some way. Perhaps talking with some other UI skinners in the main Manilla 2D thread will help resolve this? Luckily I mainly use PocketCM for SMS stuff, but would love to get it fixed to prevent accidental crashing.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
This is really strange. I'm not able to reproduce the problem, so it's kinda difficult for me to debug this.

Maybe you could try to extract the files from the .cab, then copy them manually from your storage card to windows using total commander.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
I can see the files inside via 7-Zip and extract them, but the extensions are all numbers like 001, 002, 003, etc. How do I get them to their normal file names/extensions?
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
use cab extract, or wincecab manager
[Windows Mobile Themes] GuySparkz:
anyone have trouble uinstalling this? how do i manually unistall this?
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Thanks I'll try that.

On a different note, what file is the icon for the number of new emails? Could you make a green version of that icon like on the Diamond? I think the green would look nice with the bonsai tree and it would stand out at a quick glance to see if you had new mails. Thanks much! I'll let you know if the manual file copy fixes the crash issue.
[Windows Mobile Themes] uiskibum:
UPDATE

I'm also experience the crash when selecting messaging; using the 1.1 theme.

Phone: Hermes (ATT 8525)

M2D: Update 17 (did not install audio components)

Theme Installation Method(s)

cab - crashes

extract files from cab (using MSCEInf) copy to windows folder - crashes

using M2DC theme manager (extract using above method and put into .zip file) - crashes

I also copied over all (at least it looked like all) of the message icons from the original theme and that did not make a difference.

[UPDATE]

Ok with a lot of file swapping between versions 1 and 1.1 I found the culprit file, at least on my device. I installed version 1.1 and if I replace the hh_fw_tabbg_people(_mask).png files with the files from v1 I do not get a crash when access the messages widget/pane/whatever it is.

[UPDATE 2]

After a bit more trial and error it appears to just be the hh_fw_tabbg_people_mask.png file.

Hope this helps in the trouble shooting. This is definitely a strange problem.
[Windows Mobile Themes] pro838user:
I'm also having this problem as well. Once i move to messaging it crashed. I'll also try find wha's wrong.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Total_Lag:
Could you upload the .png file that you used? And under which folder should it go into?
[Windows Mobile Themes] uiskibum:
This file is from the first version of the skin. You will need to put it in whatever directory you installed the theme...this will vary based on how you put it all together. I'll bet you just installed the cab, so turn off TouchFlo, copy this into your Windows directory, turn on TouchFlo, and see what happens.

Caveat: I'm pretty sure this is the right file, I cleaned all my "scratch" work off my desktop last night. If this doesn't work I'll have to get the cab, pull the files and upload the proper one.
[Windows Mobile Themes] arigold1:
I am experiencing the messaging crash has well. Apache, Helmi' ROM manilla + newest skin installed from cabs

Edit: I also uninstalled the skin and now touchflo refuses to launch.... Here comes the hard reset!
[Windows Mobile Themes] uiskibum:
When you uninstall the skin it pulls all of the files that it wrote to your device (these files overwrote the default manilla files). So you uninstall, it removes the files, manilla is now looking for files that aren't there.
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
I tried this file and can see the icon looks slightly different in my tab bar, but I still crash when going into Messaging.
[Windows Mobile Themes] uiskibum:
Huh, well looks like we have different issues causing our devices to crash out on the messaging tab.
[Windows Mobile Themes] SNL:
What a fantastic design, absolutely stunning! Just flashed a Manila ROM on my Kaiser. As the blue Manila skin is boring, i was very pleased to find this one.

All works well on my device. Thanks for designing and sharing!
[Windows Mobile Themes] pro838user:
Testing

Sorry diidn't work
[Windows Mobile Themes] uiskibum:
So this is an odd workaround for this...

Just move your messaging tab away from your people tab...

I've got:

Home - Messaging - Mail - People - Etc....

and it works just fine.
[Windows Mobile Themes] aeratos:
really nice themes man
[Windows Mobile Themes] fwaits:
Very interesting. I loaded up the TouchFLO 2D Customizer and tried this. I moved my Messaging tab to the right of the Mail tab first and it still crashed. However when I did what you did and moved the Messaging tab back to it's normal position and moved the People tab to the right of Mail it works now with no crash. Very strange indeed.
[Windows Mobile Themes] cacahahacaca:
Is it possible to have a .zip version of this theme so that it can be managed via M2DC?

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Themes] erwinsie:
hi.

can i request an analog clock for this theme? or there is a special cab to switch clock between digital and analog??

with analog clock we would be able to see more of the background picture :)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
OK looks like it's a kind of xml bug there. As TF2D customizer rewrites the xml, it may sometime fix this.

As for the zip, i'll see what i can do whenever I have time, i'm really overwhelmed by work right now.
[Windows Mobile Themes] hueman84:
I've been moving my icons around like crazy, but still no dice. My TouchFLO doesn't crash, the Messages tab just doesnt show anything when I select it.
[Windows Mobile Themes] xxx_mosh:
yeah this is not working for me touchflow wont come back up when i enable it again can someone help
[Windows Mobile Themes] ddsoft:
a very good theme! using it!
[Windows Mobile Themes] ddsoft:
excuse me ,i intalle the .cab as the instruction that you mentioned. but after the installation, i can't open the touchflo any more. I am using the Hyper Dragon 3 and as all we know that the manila is pre-installed. Is that a problem? Thks
[Windows Mobile Themes] pigeonking:
Thanks to fwaits. it works.

I follow fwaits's way, to change the location of the tab, and the message tab won't crash any more.
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
FS 1.1 Zip file

OK as promised here is the .zip file:

http://rapidshare.com/files/151224005/Dredd_67_FS_1.1.zip

That's the last thing I can do for people having bugs.

BTW, I'm also using Hyper Dragon II, and the cab works like a charm....
[Windows Mobile Themes] kidnamedAlbert:
dredd, i havent seen any new themes from you. are you working on something big? ;)
[Windows Mobile Themes] Dredd67:
Eh... yes and no. I started something, but was not satisfied the way it turned out . Curently I'm just too busy to continue, but I should get more time next week...

Hint: the new project is called Playspiration 3...:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Themes] prankie:
The skin looks great, too bad it's not working all that well for me. After the install it just says "Tap here to launch touchflo".

I use Touch-It 3.6 for polaris with built in manila 2d. Any idea how to remedy this?

EDIT: Everything works if manila is reinstalled using the "full" release.
[Windows Mobile Themes] zaep0b:
I installed this theme (feng shui) and it looks great - I love it.

only problem i have is..... The background under the weather tab is off center! anyone have any idea what I have to change in the XML (and what XML file) to fix it?

thanks! :D

edit: I use TTRAN's OTP 7.3.1 ROM

edit2: Found my answer - you will need to edit the HTCHomeSettings.xml in your \windows folder on your device with the following information (use notepad on your desktop)

<Property name="IDWEWG_WEATHER_POS" id="17" value="0,25,240,205" />

do a find on IDWEWG_WEATHER_POS and make sure the values are as above, this defines where the weather image is placed on the screen.
