Does M2D in new version allow to add Weather Locations and Applications to the launcher?

BTW. Patched non-HTC Manila2D and Album .EXE files cannot be installed install from .cab because their integrity is broken by patch. In order to make them being installed again you need to remove the old signature/certificate and apply new one. I did that here and it work perfectly. However, I've been using my own certificate for that purposes, which I wouldn't like to share.

I heard that there is "xda-developers" certificate, so if xplode has access to it he can re-sign those .EXEs and put them back into .cabs.

Please let me know if you need more information on this.

I just started testing the build 21193 v5.1 and it seems nice and stable so far, it also synced fast and without any problems. i started installing cabs of my usual programs and with spb online and microsoft voice command i got the message that those programs were not digitally signed and could therefore not be installed, but i used the same cabs as with build 21189 and 20758. how can that be possible, does the new build have some sort of extra security feature, the previous versions didn't?

in the case of spb online i can always try and download the newest version from spbsoftwarehouse and try it with my old key, but still i don't know wether that would be legit or would solve the problem. can anyone tell me what that digitally signed thing is and how to bypass it. i need those programs and they are legit.

I am using the Xplode version of M2D taken from Iolite Stuff for Blueangel updated [31.01.2009] and it works just fine including changing the size of the launcher tab and choosing the weather from the DB. I use [App] [Feb-7-09] Manilla 2D Customizer v0.29.235 (2nd attempt at digi clock bug) to make all my changes.

I have no problems with installation or running at all with certificates on this ROM.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] stpark:
I tried all M2D versions I could find, including Iolite on WM 6.5.21193-R5.

For some reason none of those allowed me to add locations in Weather tab (simply ingore clicks and menu actions). Also Programs tab didn't allow to add shotcuts, i.e. [+] buttons are hightlighted when I touch em but nothing else happens.

I wonder how do you install M2D in WM6.5? Any specific pre- steps others than just starting CAB install?

With Iolite and some previous versions of M2D you should install .cab and then copy Manila2D.exe to \Windows. xplode wrote that when he puts patched .EXE into .cab - it doesn't install then. This happens because .EXE is changed and its signature is no longer valid. It is possible to have everything in one .cab. He just need to re-sign Manila2D.exe after patch.

The alternative soltuion that seem to work. I simply removed signature from Manila2D.exe put it back to .cab and got it installed without need to copy .exe to \Windows.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] motisu:
Do you install Audiomanager before you install M2D? all of the developer posts specifically state that this cab contains required items for M2D to work properly. It sounds very much like this is your problem.

That is exactly how I install and it work just fine.

This doesn't bother me at all. I just extracted the Manila2d exe, during HR i have a copy command in my EXTROM cfg.txt to copy it to \windows and it gets installed automatically every time I do a HR.

You have to put your device in bootloader before doing an upgrade. Follow the installation procedure in the wiki. Here you go.

I tried now to install Audiomanager before M2D and it didn't help. Weather and Programs tabs are not reacting to touches. Still wondering how do you install it so that it works.

BTW: I created single .CABs for M2D and Album that seem to install without need to copy extra .EXE. Also there is Opera 9.5 that can be installed onto any ROM version. All CABs are slightly edited versions of Iolite stuff from xplode. Here are links if any of you is interested:

Some feedback on 21198

xplode,

Here is my experience with 21198 so far.

*Battery life seems to be improved. I left my BA overnight without charger, and it only went through 2% of my battery (2400 mAh extended battery).

*Titanium still going strong. I installed PUI but I have left Titanium just to see if it does die down after a while.

*Still no SR...

*S2P works pretty well (BTW, does anyone have the version prior 0.58? I hate the scrolling of this version and I made the mistake of erasing the old one. Moreover, it is not in A_C's website...)

*BT working fine but I still cannot connect my GPS receiver. I can add it to the list, but I cannot get it to change from "Disconnected" to "Connected". I have tried every single COM port and nothing... I will try Helmi's BT stack later and see if that somewhat solves it.

*Wifi as usual (connects fast)

*Don't have GPRS so I can't test..

*Icons in the Ex-Honeycomb are very large (and I do mean "very")

*One small thing I did notice was that the battery icon on the top bar almost overlaps with the Task Manager drop down icon. Very close to each other... again nothing major (mostly cosmetic)

*All regular programs working fine without problems (PocketCM, S2P, S2V, Throttlelock, etc).

Me happy!!! Will test more later...

I prefer it. I have seen a few bad stories of people upgrading using Vista. Although the procedure in the wiki is proven to work, I would stick to upgrading via XP... personal taste, really.

i've flahed my BA a couple of times (a lot). I've tryed with XP, Vista and now with Se7en (4 times) and everything works really good.

just follow the wiki and everything will be ok

PS: somethingcold note that using vista you need to update the drivers... if you use the "original" ones from M$ it won't work.. at wiki you will find a rar with correct drivers

Just open the file and look at which cabs are present in my cfg. Erase anything that is not there. It really won't install them if they are not listed, so you can just throw it in your SD card and run it like that.

ok, i got it =) but i can't unhide the ext rom folder :/
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Now I see the problem. Let me take a wild guess and say that you have roughly 42 Mb of storage after a fresh flash.

You gotta go back to 2003 and unhide and resize the extrom. Then, flash back to whatever rom you want. BTW, that is the other reason why your BA is slow.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] somethingcold:
"have roughly 42 Mb of storage after a fresh flash" that's right...

what do you mean by resize?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] somethingcold:
btw, in the wiki they say that to hard reset, press power botton + stylus in reset... that is not working for me, the xdaIIs just resets, i think i am missing something
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
There was a time, when the Blue Angels around the world came with Stock Roms from the different vendors. Until one day, a group of brave developers decided that they needed to get more of the devices they so dearly paid for. However, the evil oppressors also known as "The Providers" had hidden massive amounts of useless programs, data, and cabs somewhere inside of the Blue Angel. Doing so, they made the Blue Angels heavier and unable to fully use their God given rom space.

These developers, found the folders by using their incredible powers of deduction and computers. But that wasn't all... after they found this evil burden, they got rid of it and by means of the modern marvels of technology, they were able to convince the Blue Angels that they had all that rom for themselves. They were finally free!!!!

After that colorful explanation, the answer to your question is that the original ExtRom occupied a crap load of space, so there is a tool for the BA that allows you to take it from its original size to about 128Kb.

Look at the Wizard in the wiki and choose the option as if you were flashing from 2003. Do not skip steps, and please read the rules of the site next time. Good luck!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
I guess if you are not gonna stay with the rom for too long, it shouldn't matter what version of 2003 you flash. You only need to go back to 2003 for a few minutes to do this, and then you go on to rip the benefits of having a speedier BA with more storage :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] homam_france:
exactly 60.30 mb:D

@+ que ppc, when u increase from 42mb to 60mb it is really resurgence in your BA storage size, but after a while u feel it is little megs:D

BA needs more megs to install more progs,but that is ok.:)

BA is very nice because it is a gift.:D

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] homam_france:
no need to resize because already u have 60.30mb as storage:)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] egzthunder1:
Yes, you have.

@somethingcold,

The hard reset of the device happens as soon as you see the multicolor screen. Just press power + bottom pin with the stylus (this will perform a soft reset). Let go of the stylus and as soon as you the the colored screen with the version numbers and all, quickly press the two buttons on the side of your device together and hold them down (WMP and Record if PH20B1 or Camera and Record if PH20B).

If you did this correctly, you will see three new options in your screen (you let go of the buttons at this point). You have to change the second and the third to "Yes" and leave the first one at "No". You scroll and change the selection of these options by using the same two buttons mentioned before (WMP or Camera and Record). Once you are done, press the "Mail" button on the device. Your screen will turn white for almost a minute. Don't be alarmed. Your device will reboot itself.

Please do this correctly, and if you do not understand it, I would suggest for you not to flash the device since you could brick it if you mess up. Good luck...

What do you mean?

The Hexagons?

I was playing a LOST new season episode while eating a fish... and when its time to leave the dinning room...

IT still wakes up... I cant get it shuts off! why? Isnt a hardware trouble cause if I hold the power button the backlight shuts off, but the Shutdown to standby function dont works!!!!

I can enter to bootloader and to the option TO HR but cant chose nothing... Xtrange isnt it? all the buttons can be pressed smoothly i cant figured out why this is happening... and Obviously Im the only one with scariest trouble always!
