Missing feature

Oldsap made this little nice program with which the icons can be changed to custom icons on the launcher tab. You just choose which icon to change, and then navigate to the folder with your custom icons (i use the icons from the great Bluemetalaxe, and the launcher page looks great.

Just unzip, install in your programs, copy a shortcut to Programs, launch it and use it.

Enter the launcher button number, choose load, when no custom icon is loaded it ask you if it should create a new string in the registry, just say yes. Then click browse, navigate to the custom icon you want to apply, click set.

Change all icons you want then restart M2D and you have the new icons there, without messing with the registry manually.

enjoy and thanks to Oldsap

hello everyone, sorry I have been MIA for awhile, the android market started to allow me to get paid for my work on that platform so I have been pretty busy with that.

but good news, windows market for mobile was recently announced, and I fully plan on participating... and to prepare I will be revisiting M2DC in about 2 weeks to update it and hopefully fully test things and implement a new feature or 2

So anyways, look for M2DC 1.0 coming in April

What steps do I need to take to get the original start-menu back, I found this post on page 33 of this topic but it didn't really help.

How can I get the original start menu back?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d_train:
Yes - another Softkey request :)

I choose to use Internet Explorer in place of Opera because of a webapp that only seems to like IE :(

So I have IE as the default browser which is fine, but I want the browser window to open IE to it's home page (like it did with Opera) instead of opening it with a load error - yes I know thi sis monor, but if I don't ask I won't know if it is possible :)

Also the All Bookmarks to open IE's favourites not once again a webpage with an error regarding loading a page.

So is this possible?

Thanks for a great utility.

Hi!! I Ask this in the m2d area but not answer there so i ask here.

I want to know what is the path to put in the right soft key that launch the program tab, like in the oldest version, coz i want to replace the camera soft key.

Thx in advance.

- Anvi
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
"Camera" is coded in the program. "Programs" used to be. You can use M2DC to change the softkey to open a different program, but the "Programs" TAB in M2D is not a program. I found the registry key that tells what TAB you are looking at, but I have not figured out how to make M2D see the registry change.

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2D

CurrentWidget = 6 is the setting when the programs tab is showing

P.S. One feature that would be crucial and really useful indeed, would be to include language files or somehow in the package, or provide another plugin/addon/program to translate M2DC than the actual ways, in order to change language much easier. Ok that is jeje thanks!

how can I make left softkey to "New message" and right to "Contacts"? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stylez:
When you say new message i persume you mean new SMS, if so then you will want to map the Left Softkey to Windows\newsms.lnk Right Softkey to Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk "This may be in one of the other folders in the location depending on ROM"

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Is the delay for any change or only when applying themes? The theme needs some 5 minutes to load depending of device, memory available and other programs running.

Also i would suggest that you upgrade to M2D version 20.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d_train:
I am not sure whether this is a bug or not...

I have the latest Manila and the lastest config tool. I cook my ROM with the necessary reg entries to make my right softkey mapped to Contacts. all works and all is fine unless....

If I open the Config Tool and select the softkeys tab, the description is there (ie Contacts), but the path is blank...if I click apply or ok at this point the right softkey changes back to Camera but the name remains as Contacts.

If I then go back into the tool and set it manually it the path remains intact and filled in with the correct path.

The reg entires I use for cooking are...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Home]
"SK2CmdParam"="\\Windows\\Contacts2.lnk"
"SK2Cmd"="\\Program Files\\M2DC\\OpenShortcut.exe"
"SK2"="Contacts"

Yes I have created a 2nd Contacts link so it is not the "Contacts2.lnk" part of the entry :)

Is there a reg entry that I am missing that the config tool uses?

Thanks in advance.

Guys/gals,

does anyone know if I can map a home tab soft key to jump to the Programs (Launcher) tab? I've had this in one of the ROMs that I tested but I didn't like the ROM in general so I changed it, but I really miss this feature. :(

I'm also wandering if it's possible to make the clock on the home tab "inactive"/"disabled". I don't mean to remove it but to make it non-clickable. Very often I accidentally touch the screen there and it opens the "Clock & Alarm" settings which I NEVER use. I don't see the point to have such a large space for such a unused action. Who does reconfigure it's clock so often so he needs in on the home tab? And about the alarms - I suppose many of us use third party applications for this so this make even less sense.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
This has been asked several times in this thread and it has been answered that this is not possible, many have tried it without success.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
M2D config does this, it is not the fault of your ROM. If you want the config tool to recognize your softkeys you have to reset them again in the tool, otherwise the M2D config takes the default M2D soft keys.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d_train:
Thanks for your reply...shouldn't the tool read the reg entry when opened (like it does the xml) to make sure it isn't resetting something that is already set?

DT
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I think the jump to programs tab is cooked in the exe file. I have not been able to figure it out yet. Maybe someone else has.

Edit your HTCHomeSettings.xml file. I believe it is the

<Property name="IDHMWG_CLOCKBTN_RECT" id="2" value="12, 30, 228, 135" />

values you can change to resize the area that can be selected.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I am not sure we can. Launcher has rows and columns in the xml file, and so does operator, but people tab does not.

<Property name="IDLAUNCHERWG_ROW" id="2" value="6" />
<Property name="IDLAUNCHERWG_COLUMN" id="3" value="3" />
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
This is the tsk file, which you choose on the settings/personal/today screen. You can look for some more of those files here in one of the threads.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You are totally right on how it should work, but this behavior has been noticed since always and we have pointed that out to the developer, i'm not sure how the cofig tool reads the registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
In fact it is hardcoded in M2D. I recall that someone in this thread tried to hack that but with no success.

:(

I'm very sad that I can't have my programs back

But you solved my "clock problem" so it's not that bad. I tried zeroing the rectangle (making it 12, 30, 12, 30) but then the whole clock disappeared. Then I made it veeery small (12, 30, 13, 31) and it worked :)

Now I have one more question about the clock:

is it possible to make the digital one show the leading zero? I want to see 05:31 instead of _5:31. Is this "skin" related or it's a simple registry/.xml hack?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Picsman:
After several postings on this subject, I am pretty sure the program launcher cannot be "connected" to any softkey. It is not a "stand-alone application" and thus will not start from a single entry.

Settings\Regional Settings :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pankov:
stylez,

I've already set my regional settings to HH:mm:ss and it's not working. I think Manila2D doesn't take this and the date format too into account when showing time and date on the home tab.

I suppose there should be some Manila registry/.xml location where it looks for these formats ... if present at all
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
It can as it has been done in some occasions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Picsman:
I had a ROM that did call the program launcher from the right-hand soft key so I know you are correct.

Sakajati says he has not been able to do it. I have looked and looked for CABs or guides on how to do it and always come up empty.

Do you know how to do it?

Hi mpenguin14

I'm not sure if development is still going on for M2DC but I thought I'd post a suggestion either way. Check out my post in the M2D editing thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3628670&postcount=224

That looks like a messed up HomeSettings.xml. If you have a copy of your old xml you could just replace it. If you don't you should reinstall M2D.

Hello M2DC users, I am pretty angry right now, the first post on this thread was edited 3 times on March 22 by "Ather90", or maybe someone who gained access to his account, to change the download location link of Manilla2DCustomizer from http://manilla2dcustomizer.googlecode.com/files/M2DC_v0.29.235.CAB to a known phishing website.

Here are undoctored screenshots of the changelog

I have fixed the download link to post back to the google code page but I cannot believe that this link has been broken for almost a month and I never received as much as a PM about it

Unfortunately I found out about this during a routine ego search on my name and various usernames and found a site where they are calling me scum for hosting my files on such a site...

Well what is done is done, I have fixed the link, made my case, provided the best evidence that I can provide, and I would like everyone to know that I am sorry about this.

As far as the state of M2DC... sorry but I haven't gotten any work on it done... like I said last time though (a few weeks ago) I plan on getting back into WinMo programming this summer so I will be updating M2DC in the next few months

problems

First of all I am a newbie to PPC hacking. Ok I have a HTC Lolite/cruise 09 with a standard English Rom and I installed M2DC on it. I played around with some themes then suddenly discovered i couldn't update my weather through GPRS (weather for this city is unavailable or something like that。。 it was working fine before) also found out i couldn't access MSN,SKYPE etc... however I could surf webpages. I then found out I couldn't activesync... then i disable the "Faster data syncing" tab in the USB-PC connection settings then I could sync and update weather through pc internet connection. Just wondering if M2DC is known to mess these kinda things up... anyway i'm gonna unistall M2DC now and hard reset and try again.

P.S. I propose we have a seperate M2DC and M2D Problems and Solution thread please because I found it pretty difficult to search to see if people had my problems and looking through hundreds of pages can be tedious... thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PineappleBoy:
Btw thanks to the guys who made this prog and esp the ones who are keeping things going by making themes and things. It's good to be able to customize and make the most out of your ppc. I will give props out later when I finish reinstalling my PPC :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ToddeSwe:
Hi!

I think you should try finding the weather patched exe file for your installed version of TouchFLO 2D and give it a try before hardresetting your device.

Or did it work before you started to use M2DC? I have never used it so...

Good Luck!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PineappleBoy:
Hey I already hard resetted before seeing this post but like the weath patch only seems to fix the weather problem but doesn't mention anything about the fixing getting onto Messenger/skype other progs that use GPRS.

Anyway after hard resetting i messed around with M2DC again and I manage to keep the weather and progs working by checking the "don't upate the weather tabs and xml" but when I restored to back up i forgot to check the box again and now my weather and progs don't work so time for another hard reset

Don't need to extract file to Windows directory the whole point of M2DC is to do this for you choose add in M2DC and navigate to .zip then click apply. :)

If you did want to extract to Windows directory you would have to close TouchFlo\M2D as files can't be overwriten while in use.

Is there a way to take a clock from one theme and add it to another? A simple solution would be great if it is possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Sure, you can load a theme you like, then extract the clock files of a clock you like, disable TouchFLO, copy the clock files to windows overwriting the old ones. You can add also other things you like from other themes.

When you are satisfied how your theme looks like, you go to the backup tab of the customizer and backup the current theme, then you go to the themes folder inside M2DC and rename the backup to the name you like for your theme.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
You cannot remove it as it is in the ROM, but when you install the newer M2D it will install overwriting the existing files. when you do a hard reset or reflash you will have to install the new M2D again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rainier17:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
When you download M2D you will have different cabs, first install M2D restart and disable the footprints tab, as it will anyway show nothing. Then check all other tabs and look if all is working. If needed (when not working) you will have to install other cabs like photo album or music player or other, if everything you want works then leave it that way.
