Today Tab Calendar Missing after Voicemail Received..

Has anyone figured out why the Today Tab loses the Calendar line item when a voicemail is received on manilla2d vers. 20? For the life of me I cannot figure this out by reviewing the home xml and other settings.

Is there a fix for this?

thx

waiting for sourceforge page update
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Savok:
Yes, your custom theme is missing certain lines of code:

From the Imagelist path

<Image index="228" name="hh_hm_voicemail.png" />

From the HomeWidget screen

<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_RECT" id="60" value="12,177,228,207" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMG" id="61" value="228" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMGPOS" id="62" value="29,184" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_TEXT_RECT" id="63" value="55,178,213,206" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMG_FOCUS" id="64" value="181" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMG_FOCUS_DN" id="65" value="182" />

I have attatched the default HTCHomeSettings.xml file for you to use on your skin, you may need to change some settings for the clock number positions etc. This also applies to version 21 as well.

MsD Customiser hangs

Hi

Downloaded M2D today and applied - wicked!! Also downloaded Customiser V0.26.230, but when I make an amendment, it seems to hang, so I have to soft reset. Then TouchFlo is not running so I need to tick it again in the Today settings.

Have I missed something (also, cannot launch browser - doesn't want to know)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deenice:
Thanks a lot Savoc, I'll update my xml and restart!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Savok:
No problem. If you use Beyondinvisibles weather icons please remember he also uses Image index="228". You would have to change the following highlited code to match something unique:

<Image index="[COLOR="Red"][B]228[/B][/COLOR]" name="hh_hm_voicemail.png" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_RECT" id="60" value="12,177,228,207" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMG" id="61" value="[COLOR="red"][B]228[/B][/COLOR]" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMGPOS" id="62" value="29,184" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_TEXT_RECT" id="63" value="55,178,213,206" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMG_FOCUS" id="64" value="181" />
<Property name="IDHMWG_VOICEMALLCALLBTN_IMG_FOCUS_DN" id="65" value="182" />

This maybe a bug to me too. Whenever I chose the settings and hit 'ok' button, the M2DC kinda hang there. The only method is to restart the phone using the phone's power button.

But despite numerous modifications selected (made) with M2DC, i hit 'apply' button, and it doesn't hang at all.

It is agreat app.

Can you add an option to control people tab(control number of rows and columns) like that of program tab

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
would it be possible to add a exit confimation dialog?

i must have closed this app like 52 times today cuz i was trying to switch tabs and bumped the cancel button on accident

i have been playing with font color alot lately and i have noticed if i change the color and only the color... some of the other variable even though they are left in the default state are no longer so, once i apply... for inctance i change the alarm color and it gets pushed way to the right or the current temp and the size of the font shrinks

any idea whats causing this?

thanks and keep up the excellent work on this wonderful app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CenFlo:
As if you didn't have enough requests already.... :)

It would be nice if the "Themes" could remember the path or have the option to specify a default path/folder for the themes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
That is a known problem, as soon as you tweak the fonts, the default font gets changed too. I noticed that the font taken as default is the last font of the list in the font folder, and i had to modify the names of the fonts to get the one as last which gives the best of readeability. Changing the default font also modifies the default font size accordingly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You can do that by creating a themes folder where you want, then click the add button in M2DC and choose the folder you created. Every time you open M2DC it looks into that folder for new themes and adds them automatically.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deenice:
Thanks Savoc, i'm still trying to configure this a bit. I currently have two line items labeled "Call History". One opens up the call history, and the other (where the calendar entry should be) places a voicemail call. I'll attempt to move the voicemail down to the next line item.

What I also noticed is that the image mentioned above (hh_hm_voicemail.png) is not available in the /windows or /ManillaGFX directory. Can you tell me where I can retrieve it?

thx

im having a weird error with m2dc. when i put a theme with a diamond clock, it adds the analog clock also. when i take off the analog clock in the home xml tab, the analog clock comes off, but the background of the digital clock gets out of place and the whole clock is distorted. can anyone help me with this?

here are before and after pics

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deenice:
I fixed this by downloading the latest Manila2D. Thanks for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
maybe try the registry key [HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ForceClearType], set to 0 to disable or 1 to enable

some other registry keys that I don't know what they do...

[HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ForceEnhanceFontSize]

[HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Operator\ExtraFontSize]

good luck
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
hello everyone, I wanted to pop in and let everyone know that I have not abandoned the thread. I got laid off on Friday so I have been extraordinarily busy with the job search.

With that said, if anyone knows of any software development jobs in or around the Dallas, Texas area let me know.

I am going to try and put together a 1.0 release of M2DC before christmas that should hopefully address most reasonable requests... so once again, if you have nay requests please make them here, even if they have been said before. I will try to implement all reasonable requests and get a 1.0 version out in the next 2 weeks.

as always any and all donations are greatly appreciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Savok:

someone please help me with my problem in my last post. its getting overposted. :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
maybe try removing the analog clock graphics instead of using m2dc and see if that helps

i dunno, just a suggestion..

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
i have an idea i dont think i have seen yet..

a way to change the internet widget address... first i thought it was just opera opening to the home page but the address is set by m2d..

is there a way to add file types to the background image chooser?

like edit the line in the dll to match the image file type used...

instead of the bottom right softkey being cancel... maybe be a menu button with exit in it... or if you leave it cancel please put a exit confirmation dialog... i am constanly closing the application when im trying to hit the arrow tabs...

thats all i can think of for now... thanks for the great app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stixnstownes:
thanks but still no luck

this sucks.... :/

which version of manila 2D are you using? I need the full version number. Which version of M2DC are you using? Do you have a link to a theme that you are having this specific problem with?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holiday5804:
I have had this same problem everytime I try to remoe the analog clock except my digital clock ends up with everything on top of each other on the right side of the screen and is no longer readable. If I re-enable the analog clock, it does not fix the digital clock and I have to reload the theme to get it to look right again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stixnstownes:
I am not sure which version of M2D i am using because it was cooked into my current ROM (RevROM v2.0 M2D), but i am guessing it is most recent version since ROM was posted December 9th. Problem is consistent, even when flashing different ROMS. is there a way 2 update m2d when it is cooked into the ROM?

I am using the latest version of m2dc and it is not with just a specific theme, it is with all digital clocks that are diamond like. and it may be with all digital clocks in general but those are the only ones i use and i have tried many versions of the diamond clock and have had the same problem. Oh and just to say, I have tried deleting analog clock files and replacing files with blank files in \Windows and have had no luck with either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
First of all good luck with your job search.

As for the requests, i have still those:

Implement the possibility to choose custom icons for the launcher. That could be a drop down list of the launcher buttons, where one can choose which button, and a button to choose the path for the icon.

Implement the possibility to apply the same font color to all font items by selecting it.

M2DC with Jade?

can someone help???

I have downloaded these new xml settings to the manila 2D and i also upgraded my exe to version 20 but I still can not get the viocemail feature to work i stayed up hours last night trying to figure this out, and I still am, can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, I unzip the xml settings and restart and the calender line stays blank when there is a voicemail, I even found the the hh_hm_voicemail.png and placed in the windows directory but still no results, and I am trying to avoid downloading the version 20 cab. since my rom had manila 2d cook in it already(onyx ultimate 4.2) can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong because its about to drive me crazy, thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bokechukwu1:
is there anyone that can help me about my previous request above???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markppc6700:
will there be a calendar tab in the future???::confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You can install the M2D version 20 cab to upgrade manilla, i did that too and i have the same rom as you. On my phone the voice mail is working.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Not really a calendar tab, as up to now it is not possible to add completely new tabs to M2D, only split up tabs as for home and weather, where you can have two tabs. On the other side you can use the operator tab, either as second launcher or as calendar tab, see below

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=451623&page=11
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bokechukwu1:
installing this doesnt slow the ROM down or anything like that??? As far as speed since the Manila cab is so bulky
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
not sure if it is working on Jade... I use the Manila 2D build pulled off of the last official Jade English rom, so I assume M2DC would work with the jade, but no guarantees
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
In my case it did not slow down a lot, maybe a couple of second longer boot up time, and some 10 seconds more time to open windows folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
I just wanted to let you know that I am not ignoring your problem, I have tried to look into it a few times and got distracted by other things... You can find out the version of Manila 2D that your rom is using by enabling the "Settings" tab of M2D and looking for the area that says "About TouchFLO 1.0.XXXX.XXXX" what are the numbers in the "XXXX.XXXX"?

I understand that it happens on a handful of different themes, but can you give me the link to one specific theme so that I can try to reproduce the problem on my device?

Also the last thing that you could do to help is to copy off your file "\Windows\HTCHomeSettings.xml", "\Program Files\M2DC\HTCHomeSettings-BACKUP.xml", and "\Program Files\M2DC\HTCHomeSettings-ActiveTheme.xml" put them in a zip file and upload them to this thread so that I can take a look at what is going on... I will try to get this all figured out this weekend

@claus and everyone else helping people: thanks for helping people out and answering questions about M2DC, I really appreciate it

@everyone: I have posted my 1.0 todo list in the second post of this thread... if you desperately need a feature that is not on there please let me know
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
@ mpenguin

Check this little app out, it lets you choose the icons for the buttons on the operator tab, maybe it gives some idea on how to implement it for the launcher buttons

http://oldsap.blogspot.com/2008/12/m2d-oticon-v01.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
It is the least i can do, to thank you for this great program, which i love so much and use daily to switch themes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Just a small comment, maybe it is not hard to include it:

When choosing custom icons for the launcher, implement the option to choose the icon size, it is only a small change of one value in the HTCHomeSettings.xml.

Also would be nice the option to correct the position of clocks and weather icons, as sometimes some themes get me a wrong position of the clock or of the big weather icon. The same issue happens sometimes with the up or down arrow on the weather page, where both arrows are sometimes below the number of the selected city. This last option is not so urgent, as i do the corrections on the fly by opening the xml file with notepad on my phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tane71:
I agree! I also have theses issues (clocks positions getting crazy when changing a theme, arrows on the weather tab that vanished, location tab that gets a frozen bottom image from previous theme, etc.).

The very strange issu that I encountered lately is the SMS tab that doesn't work properly after changing to any theme: the SMS tab indicates the number of SMS received and when you read it in the tab, this number disapear. Except when I change a theme with M2DC the indicator stays even if I read the sms. If I reinstall the backuped theme, the problem stays.

The only way I found to fix it was to hard reset and reinstall the whole PPC... A bit anyoing. Something is perturbating the xml I guess, but what and where and how to fix it wihtout hard reset?

Thanks for your help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeffrey2000:
"apply to all" and save other settings.

I messaged you about it before but I would like to have an "apply to all" checkbox/button so you can apply all black (or any other color) fonts in 1 time, so you don't need to apply everything 1 by 1.

This could be for font face, size or color and to make everything perfect it would be great if you could save this same setting somehow also inside the xml or another file maybe... (or in the backup settings?). Well I hope it could be implemented ;) thanks in advance!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stixnstownes:
thanks for not ignoring my problem. I just found out the version number and was about to post it but you beat me to the post :p. Its version 1819.2926.

right now i am using Poorlyduck's M2D Digital clock with Mbarvian's TouchFlo 3D v2 skin. I know you may think mbarvian's skin may have something to do with it because it does not go through m2dc but the problem has been occuring long before I added his theme.

I uploaded the 3 files you asked for. Hope you can figure whats wrong. Thanks again for the help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
That is quite strange, does it happen with all the themes? What version of M2D are you uising and what version of M2Dcustomizer?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You should try to upgrade to version 20 of M2D, as some of the previous version are not very stable, you can download it from the M2D thread. I did it to upgrade the M2D version (18) which was cooked into my ROM and it works well. Is this the latest version of the Mbarvian skin? I ask because there were some problems with its first versions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
I asked for the same thing too and it is on the to do list on the second post of this thread, so that should be implemented in the comming release.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
just got it implemented... it is actually a "use all font settings" button, hopefully this works out ok, the only thing that I can think that would be a problem is the alignment settings, let me know how it works

and M Maliki, the sourceforge page is updated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stixnstownes:
I wasnt sure if i could update M2D with it being cooked into the ROM but that answers my question. and haha i didnt know there was an updated version. i found v2 on twolfs skin thread and wasnt aware of the newer version until i looked at mbarvians recent posts and discovered it.

EDIT: Updated M2D, M2DC, and mbarvian's theme and the error still continues

hopefully mpenguin14 will find out what is causing this and will fix it in his next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Works great.... wonderful...thanks, makes font changes just a click away...lol

One can then still change the size of the font in some items, depending on the font type one uses, that makes customizing so much easier and faster.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] raistlin74:
Hi stixnstownes, I got the same problem with the skin.

I found a solution for the clock position. It is a manual solution and maybe mrpenguin will find a solution.

Under the Windows directory, you will find a file called "HTCHomeSettings.xml". Transfer it on your computer, remove the "read only" property and open it with an editor (not IE).

You will find the same file in the theme pack (just rename the m2dtc file in .zip and open with winzip).

If you see the differences, under the "HomeWidget" tag, you will see the different parameters for the clock position.

In particular :

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_1STDIGIT_POS" id="3" value="34, 46" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_2NDDIGIT_POS" id="4" value="73, 46" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_SEPARATOR_POS" id="5" value="26, 31" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_3RDDIGIT_POS" id="6" value="131, 46" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_4THDIGIT_POS" id="7" value="170, 46" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_ALARM_POS" id="8" value="216, 86" />

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_AMPM_POS" id="9" value="188, 112" />

If you put the original value, from the skin pack, put again the file under windows directory of the pda and after a SR you will see the clock in the original position ;)

Hope this help ;)
