widget request

I would love to see a widget that would allow you to use some of the current today screens in manilla 2d. In my case the 2 today plugins I would like to use one is from photo contacts pro which changes phone profiles and the other is the GPS Today plugin.

Thanks for your great work on the customizer.

UPDATE version 0.6.97

Updated software to version 0.6.97

You will probably see a much more polished UI, and some nice things are in there, the most notable features is

THEME MANAGEMENT :)

This feature took me quite a but of effort to figure out, but it is up and working to my satisfaction...

Right now I do not have permission from any of the skinners to distribute their themes, so I do not have any m2dc theme for download. But all a m2dc theme is is a zip file that contains an htchomesettings.xml file and the HH_* files that the skin needs. This zip file is then renamed ot *.m2dct, and the m2dct file can be imported through the customizer. When changing themes the HTCHomeSettings.xml file that came with the skin is queried for only a few select values (currently it is just values for the clock, in the future it will be other values too).

As always be warned that this is beta software. I spent A LOT of time developing this functionality in a way that should not be destructive to your phoen (ie you can always revert back to your theme that you had before you installed M2DC)

Sep-29-2008

v0.6.97

* Theme management support, see the forums and the include readme.txt

file for more information

* modified the apptodate xml file location

(now looks for it directly from the subverison repository web access)

* fixed icon support for apptodate

* added a restore tab, this tab will tell all the other tabs to

restore the default values to M2D

* some small GUI changes in order to make it look more natural on WM6

* mostly automated the build process

(only needs human interaction to clean up changleog

and enter google code upload password)

you are jesus man!

and i see you use my type r skin ;)

glad that someone appreciates my work :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
Hey thanks for the compliments, yeah I like your R Type skin, and I really liek that you had it posted as a regular zip at one point, most skins seemed to be posted as cabs and as far as development goes I didn't want to bother with extracting cabs in order to make a test theme file.

So thanks to you for the great skin, I hope this new theme manager will let you skinners get your work out there is a easy and portable fashion

Feature Request...

mpenguin14,

It would be great if you could find a way to do these...

1) Have a SoftKey changer

2) enable widget/tab scrolling with touchflo (finger movements)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
When you say that you mean in the future updates, we will be able to individually change the icons and tabs and colors of the bottom bar and such without changing the whole theme?

Cause I totally love the idea where instead of making the .cab files overwrite in windows, they create a new directory (ie. Program Files/Manilla2D/Themes/______/files....) and if we go on, we could have it go as follows:

A /Themes/Clocks

/Themes/Icons

etc...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kraize:
By this you meant if we slide from left to right or vice versa, we'd be able to switch tabs? I don't think that is possible right now. That was a TF3D feature that was taken out in TF2D.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JstarLuvsTina:

how to Add a Theme?

Hi@all,

first of all thx to mpenguin14 for creat the manila costumizer! It´s a great work!

But here is my question: how can i change a theme? I know i open theme settings, then import new themes.... but if i open the folder were the files are, there is nothing to open or change?! But there are the whole files for the Skin/theme in it. What is wrong, or what i did wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1999TL:
amazing. Having this customizer made me try out m2d from the spb MS setup I had.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
you think you get it so that we can have as many columns and rows on launcher tab ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bornotty:
yeah ive got the same query.. how to change a theme via this wonderful customizer..??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kristoff_sz:
Guys. Read the readme file!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdgpereira:
Read the readme. The theme has to have a ".theme" (.m2dct, actually) file in order to be recognized by the program.

Is there a possibility for a future release to be able to produce this file on its own from a theme unzipped to a folder?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joergswa:
Hmmm guys, but who is the readme file?! In this Thread? In the Cab?

@mpenguin14

may you can upload some themes, so we can change this easy? I just search the "HH-OriginalSkinBlue"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ameet:
Now the question is how to make this .theme file with all the skin images. I have the images in different folders and not just in Windows
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdgpereira:
Ok, the readme appears in the installation folder. Hope no one minds I post it here.

As I understand, current themes do not have the needed .m2dct file in order to be recognized by program. The program does not generate this file unless it is actually being used in the windows folder. Then, if you access the "theme" tab within the program, it will generate a "default" theme with the .m2dct and back it up on ins installation folder (much like hhc costumizer would create the "original" for HTC Home).

I ask: is there an easier way to generate these files without installing the theme manually and renaming them from "default" to the actual theme name (which would defeat its purpose)? Maybe on a future release?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joergswa:
Yes, thats it! How we can make this .m2dct or .theme from the different files and folder we have on the device? I have the files from the "HH-OriginalSkinBlue" theme in a folder named HH in storage card. How i can make a theme from this files?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdgpereira:
Ok, here is what I concluded from the readme and the program structure:

When clicking on the theme tab within the program, it will generate a zip file with all of your current theme files under windows folder and rename the zip file to the "default.m2dct" or "defaultTheme.m2dct" on the "...\"installation path"\m2dc\themes" folder. If you rename it ti an .zip file, it will behave like one. Inside this zip file you can see all your theme graphic files and the xml files that define your theme. You will see these same files unzipped under the "...\"installation path"\m2dc\Activetheme" folder (since the program unzips the .m2dct that you selected as being your theme to this folder).

What people can do to create or modify themes to be m2dc compliant is to:

option 1: install the theme

install m2dc and press the "Theme" tab

Rename the created .m2dct file to match the theme and back it up

Do this for every theme you want to be switching to

Copy all of the created files to the "...\"installation path"\m2dc\themes" and use the theme manager as it was intended to be.

Option 2: just figure out what files the .m2dct needs for a theme (by comparing the default it initially creates)

Zip these files together from the theme you want to use (maybe all of them, I didnt check out all files from the themes created so far)

Rename the zip file to a .m2dct file to match the theme's name

Put this file under the "...\"installation path"\m2dc\themes" and use the theme manager as it was intended to be.

Dizzy?

I ask some one to test these procedures and, above all, the creator of this very nice program to make an easier way to do this from the program itself (suggest creating a folder for people to gather their themes, from witch the program could verify if all needed files where there and generate a .m2dct file, adding the theme to the list)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Great news, thank you so much!

:D

I already added this to the skins thread.

I am already advising ppl to rename their zips and create the preview.jpg, even if its not used, it may be in the future...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] maati:
This has been asked before, but no answer yet: Is it possible to change the calendar path in Maila 2D Home Tab to another calendar app like ThumbCal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ameet:
Ok. I just tried this proggy. I have one observation and that is since I have most of the images out of Windows, this backed up only the ones from Win and not the other folder. Maybe if this proggy can be modified to read and backup all the files from the ImagePath value it will catch up all the paths :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joergswa:
i got it! I packed the files in a zip, renamed the hh.zip to hh.m2dc and it works! I have the new Rom from "Touch-IT m2d BETA v3.5 WITH 3D Drivers". This in totaly Black and afther change the theme with the costumizer is nice and blue! THX! I think this will work with the most themes you can Download from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=425974
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
Hey thanks for all of the feedback guys, I will now try to answer some questions.

Thanks for answering some of the questions, I probably should have been more specific about the readme file and such

So it looks like there is sufficient demand for a theme "creator" functionality. As it has been mentioned, currently if you do not have a default m2dct file in your themes folder then the program tries to read all of the values from your HTCHomeSettings.xml file and puts together the default theme... I guess all the creator would do is rename your default theme file? Or would it convert a zip file from zip to m2dct? Or should it zip a whole folder of files? I think for now I will support importing zip files, that should take care of most people needs.

@ababrekar I think I know what is going on there... the way the default theme is created is as follows

1. Generate a list of file names for the theme file

1a. Open HTCHomeSettings.xml, read the image path variable

1b. Read all of the file names from the xml file

prepending the image path if needed

1c. Add "\Windows\HTCHomeSettings.xml" to the list

1d. Search for all HH_* file sin "\\Windows", add these files to the list

2. Add all of the files to the theme file

I think I need to do a check when adding files from the windows directory, and not add them if a version of that file is already in the list... shouldn't be hard to do, so that functionality should be out tonight

The other thing that I have seen that I need to do is read the values for the location of the analog clock, and size of the tabs on the tab bar from the theme htchomesettings.xml
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] greatbal:
1) Some widgets such as the photowidget and settingswidget have image reference which are not in the<ImageList>. Skinners would definitely customize those files too.

2) What if the HTCHomeSettings.xml supplied by the skinner be read/written entirely? They may have edited some items' rect_size or position, etc.

Great work on the theme manager! :)

Cab File Themes

Anyone know how to unpack the cab file themes so we can update the themes ourselves?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schnappus boesus:
Thank you!

One Request:eek::

it would be pretty cool, if you could change the music player to s2p :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
@greatbal Thanks for the suggestions, basically my philosophy behind this is that the user should have the ultimate control over their HTCHomeSettings.xml file, I am personally not a big fan of the cabs that overwrite my current HTCHomeSettings.xml file with their new version, which is why I am doing it this way. The idea is that you can apply a new theme, which will cahnge some setitgns, but not all of them... I will be adding more settings tonight (reading analog clock posiiton values, and tab bar tab width), and I will add more values as they are requested.

I am not aware of how to do this... but a 30 second google search came up with http://freewareppc.com/utilities/msceinf.shtml I have not used it so I dunno how well it works

Yeah I agree, I like S2P, it is the only music software that I use, and I like how well it integrated with ThrottleLauncher.

Currently my goals for this tool are to change the "easy" settings first, and hopefully by the time I have all of the "easy" customizations implemented, someone will have figured out a simple way to customize the more advanced functionality.

So in short, right now I am just wanting this tool to change XML values, Registry Keys, and move files around the system, because as simple as those things are it takes a lot of effort to organize them in a simple fashion for use with a GUI

Hi,

Gpu overclock is my reason to root poco.

I'm new to this I want to ask if KonaBess works with Poco X3 Pro ?

I know that works with 855/855+ and anybody tested this ?

Is there Kernel for Poco X3 Pro that increase Gpu Freq to 700-800 Mhz for gaming ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] wojownikhaha:
Overclocking to 700Mhz is useless for me, because GPU from SD860 has 675Mhz as max. frequency.

And yes - messing with KonaBess cause reboot under heavy load.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Deleted member 11588735:
But to 750-765 or 800 Mhz is worth it ,but someone tell me that snapdragon 860 is first chip with " seems like frequency tables for 860 is locked :(. TZ locked "

So i don't know about this staff is that possible that 860 can't be overclock with konabess or kernel ?

That is why I want root.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] wojownikhaha:
Update: successfully overclocked to 685Mhz using KonaBess 😳 What a success.

Let's try 695Mhzh... That's too much.

Mabye 690Mhz?

Yeah - 690Mhz is perfectly stable.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] keyzjn:
How many Antutu scores do you get with 685Mhz?

@keyzjn

I am using 3D Mark as benchmark.

[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Deleted member 11588735:
@wojownikhaha Thanks for help :)

You are using Konabess from github this https://github.com/xzr467706992/KonaBess ?

Overclock is on Turbo_L1 or Turbo_L2 ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] wojownikhaha:
Newest 0.14 version

NOM_L1. I was curious how much we can get from stock voltage. And the answer is: 690 Mhz.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Deleted member 11588735:
Can we increase voltage on Poco X3 Pro to OC like 750 Mhz ? How is possible that someone is overcloking 865 to 905Mhz ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Deleted member 11588735:
I looking in chiness to find right setting for 855 and Find this 730 Mhz/ Vot NOM and NOM_L3 785 Mhz ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] keyzjn:
I tried 730mhz NOM but failed
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] wojownikhaha:
730Mhz is unstable even on NOM_l3
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Deleted member 11588735:
what about 700 mhz is voltage that will works ?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] never00miss:
You need to know that how much hardware using voltage on some level, "it's not only gpu that you measure". Example cpu will use more voltage if it's freq is maxed, and your TFT/IPS screen Will use some voltage to if brightness maxed.

So if you use NOM_L3 on GPU, please calculate other hardware to successfully measure "hardware used resources voltage" for overclocking.

You need to install some battery measurements like accubattery or something to get value of current MaH used by devices and do overclock step by step to migrate NOM_L3

Mine works if cpu is downgraded from 2.4ghz to 2.2ghz, and with lowest screen brightness to do 850mhz on snapdragon 855
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Deleted member 11588735:
I think that gpu is tzlocked at 692mhz. Sadly so this is max freq from 855+/860 which we can get.

Maybe modifying kernel will unlock this.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
There's a kernel in the Telegram group.

• Performance improvements (No, it's not a gaming kernel)

View attachment 5307021

And a probably related ROM

View attachment 5307025

Also read what never00miss said in the reply, might even work on stock kernel.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] Ad3s12:
Well, from my experience, that kernel definitely does not overclock, however, it makes the phone run really smooth, especially on custom roms. You can try doing it yourself (oc), or wait for gaming kernel. However, i dont see the need in overclocking this phone, really.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] pl1992aw:
I don't need OC either.

Smooth, issue-less, and good battery backup longevity is enough.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro] domel1396:
Hi,

Yup tested on mi 9 miui 12.5. Works perfectly fine. In a few days I'll try undervolting a little bit.

Yeh but Mi 9 happy has 855 not 855+/860 so Gpu can be overclock up to even 850 MHz with no problem.

I noticed that when I try ending my data connection is comes back on immediately. I'm worried about accumulating roaming data charges while the data connection is on and I am not using it.

I would like to check my email from time to time however leaving it on 24/7 while on vacation is a waste.

Any suggestions as to why this is continuously on? Any programs I can uninstalll? I have my email send/receive schedule for every 2 hrs.

This should take care of your roaming worries.

Start/Settings/Personal/Phone..

Go to "Services" tab.

"Get Settings" for "Network Service".

Make sure "Data Roam Guard" is set to "Always Ask".

Just turn off the auto check of email and check it manually if your worried about the data connection. If the data still restarts then maybe weather? Google maps? Live search?

If it's just the coating coming off (perhaps due to contact with fingerprint sweat), you could contact HTC/your hardware provider and see what they say about getting a warranty replacement.

Dont forget the importance of cleaning both sides

Along with mention that cleaning it on both sides also helps (in the comments at the bottom). The problem is of course that just by using the phone you are likely to get fingerprints all over it again. My solution is to carry a Klearscreen cleaning cloth with me in my Windows Mobile version of a laptop bag. I use that for both the screen and camera lense cover when I need to take pics.
