I cant add any programs im using manilla2d 20 and net cf 3.5. Is there anyway for you to make it work with 3.5 as now all new roms are have it build in. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Have also M2D 21 and net cf 3.5 here and it works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
@ avellant

I have a suggestion, can you add another button where one can choose a custom icon? I have in my SD card a folder with icons which i use for the program tab and for the operator tab, see screenshots some posts above.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mpenguin14:
looks like a great program, I think a lot of people will get use out of it.

Thanks for sharing
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
is it possible to add support for ver 19 m2d users?

i personally cant upgrade my manilla cuz its cooked into my rom...

program looks great... thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
Does ver 19 support operator tab? and how the settings are different in htchomesettings file and in registry?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
yes it supports the operator tab... your program works for me to the point of adding the tab and changing the name... just nothing shows up when i add links...

i am not familiar at all with the homesettings file.... or regisrty differences... maybe you can collaberate with mpenguin14 for these details

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Sure you can upgrade M2D. I have M2D version 18 cooked into my ROM and have upgraded it to version 21 by installing the cab downloaded from the M2D thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
i have tried... it says unsuccesful... i can install 19 with no problems though... *shrug*

maybe ill try 21... i stop trying after 20 wouldnt take...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Have you disabled Touchflo before installing the cab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
yes... im not a total n00b... I might just act n00bish once in a while...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Strange, cannot understand why your ROM would not allow you to upgrade M2D. Have never come across this before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
i tried installing ver 21 and it said succesful, but nothing changed... in fact when i goto the settings tab and check the ver it says touchflo 1.0.1818.3719... im guessing this means im using ver 18?

when i goto the settings remove programs i see manilla 19b in there but nothing about 21... oh well, no biggie... i think im going to update my rom without manilla cooked in so i can change them at will... just my phone has been stable for a few weeks... so im hesitent to change

thanks for your help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twolf:
Thank you for the app!

I was having some trouble with it too, then I went (with Resco Explorer) to the HTCHomeSettings.xml properties and disabled the read-only check.

Then it worked fine.

;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
In fact for version 21 it should say 1.0.1820.1233.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
i found a ver 21 manilla2d.exe and replaced the one in my windows folder and now it works... yay

would it be possible to have the text below as an option? im running it 4x6 and all the text is smashed together and unreadable... plus i would rather it look the same as the programs tab

thanks... awesome program... making m2d even more enjoyable
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mainsail:
Don´t work in M2D 19b cooked. I cannot update Manilla (non-HTC device). I add programs but don´t appear them in screen :(

It´s a pitty because it seems very useful...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatnai:
This works perfectly for me on M2D update 19. Sprint vogue, cooked rom wm 6.1 bell 3.09 base. I can add programs via M2D Operator Settings or using the "+" from the operator tab. Works whether I have installed to SD card or internal memory. I have M2DC installed and turned the operator tab to "ON" before installing M2D operator settings, don't know if this make a difference. M2D update 19 works great for me, no plans on upgrading yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
this worked for me... just replace your old manilla2d.exe with this one... i suggest backing up your old one in case....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rubbish.guy:
Great work thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanfrederic:
I have the same problem. It doesn't works on a Flame "19b". Does this works with non HTC device for sure?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanfrederic:
manilla doesnt works anymore with this cab.

It asks to touch the screen to launch manilla, again n again...even after soft reset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
That is M2D for HTC devices. There is another thread for M2D for non HTC phones where you can download it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
i wasnt sure if it would work for non htc devices since im using a kaiser... sorry it didnt work for you...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jeanfrederic:
Thx for the help guys
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Corpsegrinder:
Love the program! Thank you! I like the fact that I have an additional tab to separate my utility software from my other applications.

But of course I have a question... The applications title below the button... Is there a way to make it 2 lines or maybe a specific char we can use to create an additional line? Currently I have all of them abbreviated, but it would be great if they could have there full title.

Or maybe a reg edit to change the font size to something a little smaller?

Thanks again!

new version 0.3 - hiding shortcut names

Sorry, I haven't found any solution for wrapping lines, either changing fonts. There's seems to be some empty keys in registry for fonts, but they don't have any values. Does someone has information about these? and I still would like to know how to make the tab in listview mode :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
umm... what fix?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moddin:
When you install all the way fix to be able to install the digital clock for the home tab. It renders your program useless somehow probably because manilla's code changes. Strange enough that even when it did work I did not have the "add buttons" on the launcher tab, but it could just be because I have version 20 in my rom.

Also I think the manilla development has stopped so there wont be anymore updates and the future doesn't look to bright.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
Thank you for this very helpful tool. May i ask if it's possible to add an option to choose an icon for a specific item that is added?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
I have also ver20... strange.. haven't tried clock fix. I'm going to investigate..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
It could be possible... i don't just know how much more time i'm willing to sacrifice for this project :(

for now you can change icons from by modifying registry manually from

\[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Operator\[shortcut number]:IconPath

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebats:
can you repost that link fix for the operator's tab please
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
No :) because you shouldn't need it, it was only fix for version 0.1. or do you have some problems with new version?

What folks here think about that calendar mod? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebats:
Yes there a problem with version 4 and others that i've been having, when i to the items tab and try to select custom or select from start menu and can't and there's no 'none' for me to click first and also under the generals tab when i select number of row and number of columns those don't work either. is there a fix for this.

please help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
Okay.. there couple of things you could try:

first click rebuild layout on general tab, it should make regkeys needed for shortcuts.

If that won't help try edit manualy look this post.

Hope this helps.

what version of manila2d do you have? do you have digital clock fix? i been told it can make some problems..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebats:
thanks a bunch, it works, you rock dude

another calendar teaser
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moddin:
Wow man that was "the one" (pu intended) thing missing from manilla. Now it is complete or should I say the "Prophecy has begun."

BTW the calendar tab is a different tab than the launcher just with the same icon right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
yes, "Prophecy has begun." :D

it's same operator tab than the launcher uses, so you have either extra launcher or calendar. it's still little clumsy, because each time you want to refresh appointments you have restart manila2d, i don't know a way to go around this. but i think it will still serve quite good and the icon can be changed :)

btw. I don't want to complain but i haven't yet seen any donations ( and with touchlaunch i have only got 7 euros ) :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NEO130:
Pardon, if this works with Manila2D 19b for all devices, than you can have any donations from me. But now, it doesn`t.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
Sorry, i didn't mean to be aggressive, and sorry about your issues. So, you have non htc device? have you tried newest version and clicked "rebuild layout"?

you said that you can see the items in registry?

if so, there must be something funny about htchomesettings.xml file in version 19.. if can send me (touchERASETHISservice@gmx.com) the file i could look it up.. i wouldn't like to have downgrade my m2d for this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dr4g0n75:
maybe you can set a schedule for manilla to reboot... perhaps user defined times when they arent using thier phones... for me i would like it to refresh before i wake up so all my appointments will be there...

p.s. i would donate but i only have pocket change in the bank and i dont get paid for another 2 weeks... i'm one broke mofo... if things turn around for me ill throw you some money... i know youre working hard on this..

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moddin:
As soon as I get it to work donation on the way, even with all the stuff you said to do I couldn't get it to work probably because im using version 20. I cant get 21 because mine is built into rom which is a lot of peoples concern and I have 3 addons to manilla, the "fix," digital clock and proxy patch for weather to work.

Too bad its the same tab for calendar and launcher because they both seem great addons (when I could get them to work)

BTW I meant to write "pun intended" I should spellcheck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Section9:
This is gonna be great. I was debating whether to install M2D control to show Calender and notes vie SPB Diary.

If the calender works, then I wouldn't need to install 2 more software just to show my appointments.

Pardon me for my suggestion: M2D must have some sorta way to 'refresh' its tabs eg, sms, emails, time or even dates without restarting the whole program itself.

Could the answer lies somewhere within these tabs?

Sorry for sounding stupid, I'm just a normal user.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] oldsap:
i've coded a simple application to change the launcher icons for the operator settings tab.

M2D OTicon

There are bugs.

- some images does not show up in the launcher, maybe someone can point out what the criteria should be (size? dimension? type?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NEO130:
Your E-Mail is wrong. Come back from Delivery Server
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
Thanks all for comments and for support :)

That's a great idea.

It's simply because all the widgets are build-in in m2d, so there's no way to add extra tabs without modifying manila binaries and i am not so talented :(

I think so too, just i haven't found a way doing so orhaven't heard anyone found a way doing so. Also programs tab can be refreshed without reseting whole m2d. There must be some functions that can be called, i need know to which they are and also how to call them.

Nice work. There's a setting in htchomesettings.xml

<Property name="IDOPERATORWG_GRIDBTNICON_DIMENSION" id="12" value="32" />

this defines iconsize.

Sorry, but it should be right, you erased ERASETHIS part?

Thanks for the file!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
Try this file it's modified on only with operatorwidget part, so if you use themes, it should not effect them. I think it going to work :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NEO130:
I`am so sorry for your action, but it doesn`t go. A little bit better. Now on the screen is Launcher and than in german "Bitte warten" or please wait. I don`t no where the prob is, but it doesn`t matter. Thanks dear avellant :o

Hi,

I don't know what i'm doing wrong here.

I've installed M2D Operator Setting, it creates and activate the tab with the name i specify, but i cannot add any item. also when i specify the number of row and tab, say apply, and restart M2D Operator Setting, the values are gone.

also nothing has been done in the operator tab. and i cannot add any item if i select add from start or add custom nothing happens...

I've read here that therer are different version of M2D and that could be the problem. How do i find out my version?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:
Check on the bottom of the settings tab, there you find the M2D version you have. You need at least version 19b to make the operator tab to work. Better is version 20.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moddin:
BOTH calendar and laucher at same time

Updated to version 21 and its just as I thought the fix i mentioned above kills your program in that it doesn't let you select any new programs. Had to uninstall, I need the digital clock lol the tiny analog is useless in sunlight.

Maybe to be able to use both your launcher and calendar you can replace your launcher tab with the default one and use the calendar on the operator tab (or maybe I dont know what im talking about)

Question to everyone are you guys all actually using the analog clock?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
You're exactly right :) you can always use default launcher tab, but operator tab can only be used either as extra launcher or as calendar.

I'm going to study about issue with digital clock fix...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avellant:
Digital clock fix

I made my own modified digital clock cab, that doesn't corrupt htchomesettings.xml. I uploaded it on the first post. Do not install any other fixes/mods that modifies htchomesettings.xml, if you want to get operator tab functionally.

The digital clock that you moddified does not work with or without the fix I mentioned before, without the fix it installs but manilla wont launch it will just keep saying tap here to launch.

(You don’t need to uninstall your skin or clock before you do the following)

a. Disable Manila2D by doing Start, Programs, Utils, TouchFLO.

b. Install Scotchua’s Manila Fix to Device Memory.

c. Enable Manila2D by doing Start, Programs, Utils, TouchFLO.

But even with the fix it wont launch either.

ok

i'm very confused as to which version i'm running

on settings tab it says : Touchflo 1.0.1818.3719, but if i tap it, it says touchflo version 1.0 build 1820.3328...

I've installed G - Manila2D_v1.00.18203328.00.cab so is it a version 20?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] claus1953:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ed Zakhary:
I am having the same problem- I can't get the operator tab to work. I really need help please- Love M2d, but I NEED THIS TAB. I am using a samsung Omnia. I tried both M2d version 19b and 21. Installed operator settings 4.0 and MDC, but no icons show in the operator tab, and nothing in operator settings to allow me to add links, so I can't use it. I tried installing the digital clock patch, but that makes M2D inoperable (it goes into the loop of saying "tap here to launch", you tap it says "launching M2D" then "Tap here to launch" again. Tried rebuilding, no good. I know other people have had the same problem, read every thread I could- the only suggestions I saw were to install the clock patch and to install a more recent version of M2D. If someone can give me the right build of M2D to go with Operator settings 4 so that they work together, or even better, a patch or cab that helps the operator tab to work, I would SO appreciate it.

I have a Cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard) which I am running Manila 2D 1.00.1819.2926 on. This version came installed on the cooked rom that I flashed. The way I understand it, my version is too old to run M2D OperatorSettings .4, correct? When I choose to change the number of rows and columns and then click "Rebuild layout", I just get dumped to the Programs menu. If I reload the program and then go to the "Items" tab, the selection box is empty.

I downloaded m2d operatorsettings.exe version .1 and with that, the "Items" box is not empty, but there are only 18 options, and I want to use the full 45)

I do have .NET compact 3.5 installed.

For the life of me, I can't figure out which is the correct build/link to download to upgrade to either .20 or .21 so that I can use "M2D OperatorSettings" on my phone.

Thanks for the help!
