I currently run TouchFLO 1.0.1820.3328 (release 20) with N2A weather patch along with version 19 of M2DC as I said above. I wanted to attach some pics and xml files to show you it is possible to read the whole xml file when under the above conditions so long as the skinner has a TouchFLO 1.0.1820.3328 base xml file included. To be honest this should be a basic necessity anyway with any new theme, but I am going to attach it anyhow for anyone who may need it.

Please consider this in the next version of M2DC as I would like to take advantage of the current and future features!

manila2d for omnia

is anyone know where can i get manila2d for omnia?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deroth:
Hi, sorry for the subject which was indeed rude, and thanks for your response. I've followed your suggestion and tried flashing MobileMatt's MIB and Zibrano themes. All the tabs are still missing from the today screen.

The home xml tab of M2DC has all items checked. Also, unchecking any of them and applying doesn't change that.

The versions I have are:

M2DC 0.22.215

Manila 2D build 1819.2926

running on a Kaiser

Manila was installed as a part of the Hyperdragon ROM.

Historically, I've applied many themes without issues, up until Blue galaxy, after which, as I've said, everything is gone from the home screen except for the clock.

Which file did you look into where you saw the -1 settings?

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
I agree with what you say about all new themes needing to be using the latest xml, but the problem is that a lot of the old themes don't use the latest xml, and some of the skinners that created the old themes have moved on to the Fuze/Touch Pro and probably won't be updating themes for compatability... So I will see what I can do about updating most every value when I start working on M2DC 0.24.xxx

I believe that the update 19b should work for omnia, but it won't take up the full screen of the omnia because of the resolution, most devices using M2D are QVGA, trying M2D on a WQVGA, or VGA device should theoretically work, but you will probably have to find a specific theme that supports those resolutions

So we got a kaiser running M2D 1819, M2DC 0.22, and the hyperdragon rom... I personally use a titan so I can't verify the rom specifics.

You should be able to get everything back to "normal" if someone can post the xml from the hyperdragon rom... I can look into seeing if I can download and dump the rom, but I probably won't have time to do that for another day or 2.

If you take a look at the zip file for "Blue Galazy - Fix.zip" you shoudl see a file "HTCHomeSettings.xml", extract this file on your desktoip and open in it notepad (or your favorite text/xml editor). Look for the "HomeWidget" Node, the lines such as

are the reasons why the items went away in the first place, basically the theme wasn't made to support anything but the digital clock on the home tab.

I have attached a HTCHomeSetting.xml file from an Opal OEM, it isn't the exact one from the Hyperdragon Rom, but you might be able to just rename this file to "HTCHomeSettings.xml" and replace the one that you have in the "\Windows" directory, or you can open the "\Windows\HTCHomeSettings.xml" file on your device and replace any areas that you see that have "-1, -1, -1,-1" or "-1, -1" with the values from the attached htchomesettings...

I will look into why M2DC won't clear this up when flashing a new theme and see if I can recreate the bug and fix it for the release this weekend
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deroth:
Don't think you have (or I don't see it), can you re-attach it please.. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
hmm, you are correct, it didn't get attached, sorry about that... lemme try this again

ok, the problem is that the text file exceeds the xda text file size limit... so I zipped up the xml file for you. here you go

Where did you find v1.0.1818.3719? I thought the latest mod was version v1.0.1818.3328?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
ahhh... thanks for noticing this. I uploaded the wrong file

I have attached some other default xml files...

the 1.0.1818 came form one of the original Manila 2D cabs (test 7 maybe?)

1.0.1819.2126 came from the opel dump posted here (i think, it should probably be name 1.0.1819.2926)

1.0.1820.3328 came from the jade rom, you can get the OEM from udk's Jade kitchen

1.0.1820.1233 came from the latest official Elfin Rom dump posted here

anyways deroth might want to try the 1819 version that is attached to this post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deroth:
Somehow I managed to fix the problem.. I started with copying your xml file over my existing one with the Total Commander. That didn't work. I went to see my HTCHomeSettings.xml properties. 'Read only' and 'in ROM' were both checked, and 'in ROM' was greyed-out as well.

Here I did two things: first I updated the 'Last modified date' setting, then I unchecked 'Read only'. The weird thing is that at first I didn't see any changes, because being 'in ROM' it wouldn't even let me uncheck 'Read only.'

After restarting Manila however (which I shut down prior to messing with the xml), and re-checking properties, the file now had 'Read only' checked but 'in ROM' un-checked! My tabs were back and M2DC was fully functional again.

I don't exactly understand how this sequence of operations would result in 'in ROM' being unchecked and M2DC fully functional again, but it happened. Viola. Thanks for the help.

@ mpenguin

I would also like to suggest you a small addition to the launcher tab:

The possibility to resize the launcher buttons, as some of us use custom icons and they look better if bigger sized as the 32 which is default.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Saint George:
I agree to some point, but I'd love if I can redirect a softkey in the settings tab to the nuecpl.exe file (seems relevant to me).

How can be done?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
I am glad to hear that you got everything fixed, sorry about the issues

good suggestion, thanks for the reminder, I don't think it will make it into the release this weekend, but it may make it into the big black Friday release

hmmm... this would probably have to be done by patching the exe, I am not sure about the exact bytes that need to be changed

I am going to try and get some work done on M2DC tonight... hopefully it works out

LATEST DOWNLOAD HERE (November 24 v0.23.223)

If you find M2DC useful, please consider giving a donation

UPDATE Nov-24-2008

v.0.23.223

- added a new background page that will let you specify a png image to use as the

Manila2D background. Right now there is no way to go back to the "default"

background, only restoring a theme, or applying a new theme can change your

background. This feature only supports "hh_fw_background.png" files that are

located in "\Windows" and "\Windows\MainlaGFX" which should satisfy 99% of users

but if you have issues let me know and I will read the value directly from the

HTCHomeSettings.xml file

- fonts drop down boxes are much larger now, much more easy to read

- added warning about a theme file that contains an m2dct file, hopefully this will

cut down on some confusion

- updated donator list

UPDATE Nov-24-2008

Nov-24-2008

v0.24.225

- fixed background bug, only worked with "\Windows\ManilaGFX" folder, now works with

"\Windows" folder too.

- fixed some formatting on the m2dct inside of a zip file warning box

- moved some code around so you are not waiting for 5 seconds after you hit apply,

now the spinning cursor should come up immediately

I got to admit that I never understood why people wanted a background changer, but now I get it thanks to JCKOTZE diamond colors theme I used to use mbavarians diamond theme, but now I use JCKOTZEs because it is nice ot have the preview and different colored backgrounds

let me know if any of you run into more problems

After upgrading, every tab I click on opens on top of the previous layer rather than going from one to the other. You can see the previous layers in the background. Any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
try a soft reset and see if it stil ldoes that.

I have ran into this problem before with Manila 2D, and I am not sure why it does it... usually a soft reset clears it up though
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donnasess:
No, that didn't work either. It clears up once I scroll/tab back to the home screen. I have to perform several soft resets a day b/c the phone locks up that often (other problem but not related to this update; need to search for solution thread).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
hmmm, what version of Manila 2D are you running? You can find this out by going to the "Settings" tab in Manila 2D and look for the area that says "About TouchFLO 1.0.18XX.XXXX" What is hte number listed there?

Also what device are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] donnasess:
Ok, so I'm really slow right now. I can't find Manila 2D to get to the settings tab! I can find it in M2DC, but not TouchFlo! But, I can say that I downloaded to my phone on Oct 21, 2008. Still looking... Also, I'm on a Sprint Mogul, 6.1, MS_.net_cf_3.5 (if you care). Still looking... (I'll probably find it after I submit this reply)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ttherapon:
Thank you for all your effort!!I have this small issue that i cant seem to figure out. After installing a theme the providers name stays on top of the screen(like before) but in the middle. Also the date is not next to the providers name, but next to the alarm.... almost above digital time, therefore i cant see the time...how can i fix this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sergiorus:
We can use Operator tab as alternative Launcher tab

But pathes to programmes and program names i did by hands in the registry

Is it possible to add this feature to M2DC? Maybe somebody wants two launchers...

added three hours later...

People, i have a great idea how we can transform Operator Tab to My Favourites tab like on picture

We add six shortcuts to operator tab:

New Email

New SMS

New Alarm

New Task

New Appointment

New Note

I already started to realize my idea (see screenshot), but i dont know how to make shortcut to new email and sms, and also we need icons in one style.

Also we need some setting, for example i use VsNotepad 2 for notes, G-Alarm for alarms and ThumbCal for tasks, but others can use some different soft. (I dont know how to realize it, i am not a programmer, maybe mpenguin14 helps)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] M.MALKI:
Will you update sourceforge page or Attache it please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
I too have the date next to the alarm, this is because I set the "Custom Name" to be "mpenguin14", whenever you set the custom name then the date gets moved my the alarm

this is an interesting idea, and I think that there are some people that might like 2 launcher tabs. I personally am fine with only 1 launcher tab (I only use 7 of the 9 slots too), but I cna see some people wanting to separate their programs.

M2DC could add the ability to add the necessary registry entries for new program shortcuts, and this i son my list, but since right now the operator tab doesn't seem to be able to do much more than be a second launcher tab I am not sure when I will be able to find the time to get this implemented, maybe early december?

Thank you for the screenshots and ideas, they are very good

just updated it for all the peoples not in google code friendly places. I still need to figure out the proper procedure for uploading to sourceforge via a python script, that is how I get everything up on google and it makes my life much easier

Now i have something like this :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tane71:
Sounds great! Very usefull for professional uses (and probably personal). How did you do it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] S.V.I:
Question/ request:

I really like the idea about changing the background it works miracles!

There is just one thing that it is lacking: the focus_background.

I ended up having to change my xml so that both backgrounds are one picture. (looks very cool by the way:D) however, when I did that I could no longer use the walpaper setting in manila itself. (does that make sense?)

basicaly, I set _focus_background to the name _background in the xml.

Good thing: can use the M2DC to change the whole walpaper in all the tabs at once.

Bad thing: manila's walpaper settings tab no longer changes the walpaper.

I kinda miss that because it would use JPG (the standard) format to set a new walpaper.

Any chance you could fix that so it changes all backgrounds?? or better yet, a background for each tab?

another very cool thing would be to change the center positioning of the analogue clock. it is just one line in the xml. easy to change if you like to go back and fourth getting the positioning just right... would be nice if it would work by using a crossshair pointer that you could just move around on the screen to get the positioning just right the first time.

Love this thing by the way! it is a great piece of work!:)

thank you for all of the great skins, I am using your diamond skins now, and am appreciated the different colored backgrounds, they work great with the new M2DC background changed feature

not sure why this owuld be happening, maybe you need ot upgrade to update 20 of Manila 2D? (1.0.1820.3328)

that is some high quality stuff, maybe we can put together a cab that people can use to install your changes to the operator tab... and I will see what I can do about adding launcher and operator cusotmizations to M2DC

I will look into the focus image, because I have that problem too, I will also see what it takes to use a jpeg image as the background

Right now I am not sure how to set a background for each tab, it doesn't look like it is possible. Maybe in a future build of Manila 2D

the analog clock crosshair positioning idea is very interesting, I will see what I can do about that

I am not sure. I know claus was having some issues on a gsm touch with build 1.0.1820, the one that is not 3328, what build of Manila are you using?

and btw, my wife and I use your PCMKeyboard iPhone bigger skin, using it definitely is definitely the best on screen keyboard I have used on windows mobile, thanks for the quality work

thanks for sharing these

I had problems but only at the beginning, after some soft reset they went away, and i was able to use M2D customizer and M2D dev. tools normally. Now i have another strange issue. I have flashed the last version of dsixda onyx ROM, and there he got back to M2D version 18. So i upgraded M2D with the cab from the M2D thread, version 21 for elfins, it shows again touchflo 1.0.1820.1233 as before, but now i am not anymore able to change font type and color on internet, sms and settings. Also on the weather tab the low temp. was changing before and now not anymore....strange.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
getting the background from a tsk file is a bit more complicated than just renaming the file. You woill need to download a piece of software like MSCEInf to extract the files from the tsk file (or any other cab extract software), and use the files that the tsk contains

you can make or download a png file and use that to set a background on the background tab of M2DC

hello everyone, sorry i haven't kept up with PM's, donations, or even this thread. Its holiday tiem here in the states and I have been busy with family and such. I did manage to find a few hours tonight to put out a release that I promised over a month ago would come on "Black Friday"

UPDATE Nov-29-2008

v0.25.227

- added new dialog with 1 option "Don't update Weather Tab", so you can choose if you

want to use your existing weather settings or use the new weather settings

please let me know if this update causes you problems... I tested it, but something could always go wrong

19 days until my visual studio trial expires... still working on getting a full version. It looks like I will start developing for android regardless, much more potential for profit, but don't worry I plan on doing as much as I can to keep this project up to date and release new projects as I see the opportunity
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
this might be a silly question but....

where is this option?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
you only see this dialog when actually applying a new theme... I don't have my usb cable handy so i can't post a screen shot at the moment, I will post one tomorrow if you still want to see it.

basically if appears after the "Building M2D Files" dialog, and before the "Applying Theme:" dialog... and it only appears when you are actually applying a new theme. It is just a single checkbox that says "Don't use new weather tab settings" or something like that. If yo ucheck hte box then I don;t update the weatehr xml or and of the HH_WEATHER*.png images

I can look into find another place ot host it, or I can put it back up here, but I prefer to keep it at google code for now as they give me nice download count and such.

Thanks for your feedback everyone, I am sorry if I have let questions go unanswered... for the most part If it is not on my to do list or request list then I probably forgot, so please kindly pm me or reply to this message here with any feature requests.

I know it is dumb to announce a feature that you haven't even started on but I will let everyone know that i plan on working throughout the week and getting a version 1.0 that supports theme management this weekend. If anyone has any thoughts or requests for the theme management process please let me know

I personally think theme management will be the feature that I use the most from this project. Since I am not an artist by any means and creativity to me means running Windows XP with the silver theme with a gray background.

Since this is my first publicly released personal project I am very happy to report that this project has had over 2000 downloads :)
