Hallo!

I've a ROM with SENSE 2.5.1921, hoe can I install MTP with the colored window icon?

Thx to all

Enrico
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Running MTP on a 6.1 ROM but you can add these to your list;

- PDC - Pocket Digital Clock (freeware)

- AE Software - UpTime (battery level manager - freeware)

- Efficasoft GPRS Traffic Monitor

- Elecont Dialer

- Spacer & Spacer2 (pocketmax - shareware)

- Ilium Newsbreak

- Elecont Weather

Been running all of these plugins for some time. No battery drain or other issues. See the screenshot.

I am missing something.

New Sprint Touch Pro2 fresh 6.5 install and hard reset

I installed 4.0 went through the install instructions picked my today plugin's and I don't know where it is all supposed to show up. I don' have a new softkey or any new home screen tab options. I am sure I am missing something somewhere.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Looks like what you missed is reading the 100 pages of this thread ;). Try going near the top of the page (right side) and look for "Search this Thread". Enter MTP Sense and you can start reading about what several users have done to get MTP working with their specific versions of 6.5/Sense. Good luck.

Mistake with CAB-2 MTPInstall_v0.5.0.1_M25_MK_with Footprint.CAB

Hello together,

I have a funny mistake with manila.exe when I install this cab.

After each SR I get the message

We are sorry, there is a prob with manila.exe. Send this to Microsoft.

I can send or not - no change - after this page everthing works fine. The Tab is there, it works. The machine says MTP is loaded and the icon and everything I want is there. Sense is working w/o prob.

I am just wondering if I have missed doing sth or if this is like it is an I have to live with this.

the machine is HTC HD2 from T-Mobile

Manila 2.5.19202525.0

Rom 1.43.111.2 (70315) GER

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] aldamon:
That's interesting because today I tried the Blackout ROM which includes Manila 2.5.2012.1225 and got the unsupported message.

What's the current base?

Calkuin 21056 (winmo 6.1) and Manila 2.5.2012.1225
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gkai:
Using Energy Rom with OS 23568 (6.5.x branch) and Manila 2.5.2012.1225 on a TD2, and MTP is running well, mostly without problems. Just had to edit the link at startup to add /boot option (this get rid of the annoying "MTP loaded ok" popup message), and changed in the cab the target tab (18, because there are a lot of default tab).

Only problem is that I loose some extra tabs (basically the ones taht have been introduced after the Document tab, like facebook, reader). Not a big deal, I do not use them anyway, but I think a cleaner MTP cab may be done, for better compatibility with the extra tabs in newer rom.

Still, with minor modifications, the current MTP cab with foortprint and Document is usable. Be sure to de-activate sense before installing, and activate it after...That worked for me...

Hi, I am trying to get this to work on my Touch Pro 2. I have the ROM I'm using in my sig below. I have searched the thread and it says that this works for Sense 2.5 which is what I have, but I cannot seem to get this to work.

I have followed the setup instructions in the 1st post exactly. I have even soft booted a couple of times with no "Today Page" showing as a tab. I really wanting to use this to run my today plugins.

Yup!!

I totally deleted it and then restarted the phone, I still only have the Today Page and have now lost my Call History Page which I love.

Does this mean I am gonna have to go back and edit the manila file and add in the call history tab into the script, then restart manila?:confused:

can i drop it somehow?

Sorry for re-posting this, but does any one have any suggestions for the issue?, i have already deleted the manila Full file when i first tried to install this.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] chaitandeva:
You can rather use this new tab than using any exsisting tabs. In the MTP, just choose the today page, as the target page, so that your rest of the tabs are available for you...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] palkens:
ok it works thx :)

but...

can i put today tab in "my" place?

it is at the end now :( i d like to have it in the middle of all tabs how can i do it?

A little worried (Uninstall query)...

OK...I stumbled upon this while looking for a way to combine my tasks with my calendar appointments...it looks like the best option.

I'm using a Touch Pro, with Energy ROM 21903 (May 13) with Sense 2.5. I tried installing MTP 0.4.0.0, no luck (nothing changed). So I did some digging/research on this thread, and I see that someone came up with a new install, MTP 0.5.0.0 cab (or something like that), for ROMs without the "footprints" tab. The only problem is, it says in that post that these cabs are UNINSTALLABLE...and that makes me a bit worried. I tried looking for another version out there that CAN be uninstalled, just in case something goes wrong, but I didn't see anything. Is there ANY way that this cab's changes can be backed out, just in case my phone starts meowing or something? :-) Just thought I'd ask...thanks in advance!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gkai:
Here is my contribution to this great app: a version that install on latest Topaz Energy rom (Topaz Energy May 16th 2010 or after, based on Rhodium sense 2.5, or other sense 2.5 roms with the same tabs) without deleting tabs, and which allows to reorganize tabs after installation. Use at your own risks of course, but for me it works perfectly...

How to install:

1) first, make sure to reorganize your tabs BEFORE installation. It is needed, cause without reorganization, registry entries are not created (Manila store the new position for the tab in registry). If the registry entries are not there, Manila will get confused and this result in empty tabs, non-reorganisable tabs, ...and you will not be able to change the tab order after install.

To be sure that you are ready to install MTP, check with your favorite registry editor that you have folders 0->14 under HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Configuration

2) stop Manila in settings/home/items (de-select HTC Sense item)

3) install MTP cab included here. It will install MTP tab after the last tab (position 16, number 15 (tabs number start at 0). If you want to avoid annoying startup message, it is a goodtime to directly edit your \Windows\StartUp\MTPLoader.lnk and add, after "....\MTPLoader.exe" the /boot option

so it should look like, before edit:

#46"\Program Files\ManilaTodayPage\MTPLoader.exe"

after edit:

#46"\Program Files\ManilaTodayPage\MTPLoader.exe" /boot

I use total commander for editing the registry and the windows files...

4) remove ManilaFull.xml from your \windows, if present (normally it is not present in newer roms)

5) restart Manila (inverse of step 2)

6) reboot.

Tadaa, now you have a functioning MTP, you can add items using MTP config, you can change MTP icon set back to windows (it use the apple icon set here), you can rearrange tabs,...

Enjoy!

Not running Sense 2.5 gkai, but still follow this thread for MTP and my 2.1 TouchFlo device, and I have to say this is the best step by step description I have ever seen posted.

On behalf of anyone runing Sense 2.5, thank you for your effort. :D

One curious question though, and you may have to guess at this. If someone is running a version of Sense with only 14 tabs, what would happen if this CAB tried to place MTP at position 16?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] ahis12:
gkai,

Thanks - this is excellent, I can confirm that this works perfectly on my Xperia X1 / Energy Series 23569 |May 22, 2010 release (Cookie's Home Tab ed). This is so great that top chefs might be really interested in this as well.

Running pRSSReader and PocketBreeze Today-pluigins on MTP.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gkai:
Not sure, but I suspect that it may cause the creation of empty tab or duplication of today tab that plagued me with the unmodified cab, even when I was using one designed for tabs similar to my previous rom. However, I simultaneously discovered how to modify cabs (found a cab editor, non-free unfortunately and only 25 day free trial remaining :() and why it was important to first re-organize tabs before installing MTP cab. So, I did not try independently the prior re-ordering of tabs trick and moving MTP from tab 16 to tab 15. After I found the good combination, I was more reluctant to experiment ;-) Still, I suspect "holes" in the tab numbering (0->14 and 16) are better avoided. It is in fact quite easy to modify the cab to allow for any tab list. Anyone with a cab editor can customize MTP to exactly fit its own rom, just by editing its original 26948339_manila file for adding the MTP entry and changing the MTP tab number in the registry entry...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] EnricoTV:
Gkai and Jimski

Maybe there is some difference between Sense 2.51920, Sense 2.51921, Sense 2.51922, Sense 2.52012 etc...

What's your version?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gkai:
Sense 2.5.20121225.0.CFC

Having tried with previous version, I feel that sense has not changed too much regarding tabs and MTP. The only real difference is the nulber and type of tabs, and the use of ManilaFull.xml file. 26948339_manila still control the tabs and is the main file to modify, while the registry store the tab re-ordering and is crucial for the ability to customoze tabs after MTP install...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] EnricoTV:
Gkai, I've the Sense 2.5.2012 like you, I've installed MTP but I don't see the right and left keys... Do you know why?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gkai:
I think there are many "versions" of Sense 2.5.2012, with various tabs. I would advise to compare the 26948339_manila file (in \windows) in your MTP cab and in your phone before installation. If you can not open cab, you can also compare them before and after install. Normally, they should be exactly similar, except after install you have a new tab called manila.today at the end of 26948339_manila file (this file is in xml format, so text perfectly readable by a human ;-) )

Also, did you stop sense before installing MTP? if sense is running, I think some file can not be replaced and this leads to problems...

Anyway, most of my problems were caused by MTP cab which did not contain a 26948339_manila file compatible with my rom...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
OK. Again, thanks for a detailed explanation. I understand your reluctance to tinker with something that's working. I would do the same thing. Not suggesting this is a job for you, but moving forward, maybe someone could make a series of CABS for; 12 tabs, 13 tabs, 14 tabs, etc., and then just follow your instructions and select the appropriate CAB based on their current tab count, forgetting what the names are for the individual tabs. One other note in your instructions might be to make sure all tabs are visible before running the MTP cab.

Again, I am not running 6.5/2.5 yet, but expect to have a device that does before long. And I would like to know if/how to install MTP the day I get it. I already know how to modify the 26948339_manila file (plenty of practice with Manila TV) so with your instructions I am good to go. :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gkai:
Not sure it would be enough customization: I have the feeling that there are more variation among the 26948339_manila files than just the number of tabs (rom cookers do not always retain the same tabs, and also I think that the full description of a tab (which include action buttons below, ...) may vary accross manila subversions.

One approach that I feel would be much more robust and powerfull would be for the cab to read the old 26948339_manila, parse it roughly to get the number of tab (or just ask it from the user) and then add MTP tab description at the correct position within 26948339_manila, with the correct page number, but without modifying the rest of 26948339_manila (this will keep all other tabs unmodified). This would work for many roms, and probably allow to use MTP in conjunction with other tab-modifying addons (ManilaTV,...).

Unfortunately, I do not know enough about cab creation to know if that is possible, and even less to create such a cab ;-)

Maybe I could create a MTP.to_be_customized.cab, that add in windows a 26948339_manila.MTP.to_insert with just the MTP section, and which do not change the original file and add in registry the page order xx. Then, after install before relaunching sense, the user would be responsible for editing the xx to the correct page number and for merging 26948339_manila.MTP.to_insert to the original 26948339_manila by hand. This would not be fully automatic, but will be quite foolproof and straightforward with a step-by-step installation procedure.

Other than that, as someone mentioned it, maybe some Chefs would be interested to cook MTP in their roms directly. This would be ideal :) Energy, are you listening? ;) :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] jimski:
Go it. I like the alternate approach (MTP_to_be_customized.cab). It would require a b1t more effort, but if a user followed the instructions, as you say it would be foolproof. Tab count would no longer be an issue.

BTW, I thought the original MTP cab worked as you described, backing up the original 26948339_manila file and only adding MTP to a new file, without changing or overwriting any existing tabs. I have a stock ROM, running TouchFlo 2.1, but added a Calendar tab, that was not disabled when I installed MTP. I also discovered through trial and error that Manila TV did in fact overwrite 26948339_manila, erasing MTP. But if I loaded Manila TV first, then copied my calendar tab back into the file, I could install MTP and everything would work. At least that's how I think it worked. Gave up on Manila TV so I have not dealt with that issue in a long while.

MTP installation problems

Hey,

I wanted to install MTP so I can link the HS++ with the HTC sense software, to see the data counter of HS++.

I used the MTPInstall_v0.4.0.0.CAB that you offered on your page.

ROm-Version

1.48.407.1 GER

Manila Version

2.5.19211619.0

Radio Version

2.05.51.05_2

My Problem is when I try to install MTP it always says a problem with the Manila.exe.

When I try to start the Manila configurator after this it tells me there was a problem with Manila.exe.

Could you please help me, I searched for 7 hours but didn't find the solution.

Thx
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
First off, I want to say thank you for such a great program and this thread certainly goes to show how much people NEED this on their phones! For gkai, I have some questions about his AMAZING contribution, as I'm having some slight issues....

My MAIN problem is that my MTP tab is blank even with PhoneAlarm checked! I've used this very successfully on Manila 2.1, but since I've updated my ROM that was long overdue to Energy June 26th with Sense 2.5 and tried installing the CAB you recommended, I can't get PhoneAlarm to display - thought it had something to do with me using the host (paHost), so I disabled it, killed it from the tasks, stopped it from opening as a Startup link, and I still have a blank TodayScreen on MTP....

Now for the not so important issues..... you say you are using TC to edit registry and windows files, but where are you finding this #46 entry? I've seen people post it here as 46#, but when using TC and navigating to \Windows\StartUp\MTPLoader.lnk and then going to Properties by pressing down to hold on MTPLoader.lnk (a missing step in your description), then going to the shortcut tab, the Target field doesn't have anything about #46 in it - are you finding this on the registry somewhere? I can't seem to figure this out because you're going a little too fast through this one step

And going even quicker through this step! How do you change the icon back so it DOESN'T have the Apple icon? Only WinMo allowed in this house!

But seriously, thanks for your help with all this, it has been VERY helpful! Just need some clarification on some points if you don't mind
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] hefman:
I've used phoneAlarm with MTP before and did not have this problem. One thing is that you need to make sure you aren't using paHost (which you've already done) and that phoneAlarm is not selected in the Today (or Home) settings or it will not display in MTP. Sometimes phoneAlarm will enable itself in the Today settings after it is installed. You might also try resetting after disabling paHost.

Also, do other Today plugins display on your MTP tab? If not, then maybe something is wrong with the MTP installation. You didn't mention which version of the cab you installed -- the ones on the first post probably won't work. Also, does phoneAlarm display correctly when you use paHost? This is just to make sure you don't have an issue with your skin.

As for the #46, I'm not sure where you found that info, but that's probably referring to the header in the shortcut file. If you open any shortcut (.lnk) file, you'll see a numbered header before the shortcut. I don't know if the number matters.

You can find a replacement to the Apple icon somewhere in this thread. You'll need to go back several pages though...
