Max,

There are quite many VGA users out there I'm sure they want VGA mode in the top priority, but not me. :D

1) Panoramic Wallpapers please.

2) adjustable animation flick? - disable, enable (original), and something in between that's less frame?

3) fullscreen to have tabs appear always rather than hidden at the bottom?

4) Rotate idea:

a) have the clock(s) rotate to the middle of the screen in fullscreen mode. Clock is draggable to new position. Tapping on clock change the size to become big, bigger and extremely bigger to fill the landscape screen! :D

b) (this is tough) rotate the home shortcuts and make them re-aligned to landscape mode

c) "Action screen" - smaller clock at landscape top, notification icons spreaded at the bottom landscape. Clicking on the notification icons take to the landscape mode of Call History, Messages, Calendar, Email. Okay this sounds a whole lot of scripting...

d) Goldfish in landscape mode :D:D

5) make the battery indicator icon replacable and configurable (via registry, maybe) with the apps we like, i.e. Task Manager etc. Draw the icon with the app's icon.

6) fullscreen bottom softkeys not limited to Left, Right and Middle (for reappearing the tabs), but also 2 more - Left-Middle and Right-Middle for other configurable shortcuts/functions. Such as changing wallpaper etc.

7) Make Lite mode to remember the Fullmode's screen customization but without the fullmode's buttons/tap-functions. This allows users to customize the screen they like in Fullmode, and then snap-it to become Lite mode for performance! :D

Can't wait to test out your v2.7 :D:D:D

VGA 2.7

I am trying out 2.6 on vga device Touch Pro and I love it ... cannot wait for the 2.7 for vga .. my suggestion is to get the lite out first then you can add and correct things in the coming releases.:D

Just wanted to mention here that after installing my phn gets little bit hotter than usual maybe b/c 2.6 not meant for the vga..

Meanwhile is there way I can disable home wallpaper in other tabs??
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] colthekid:
Hi Maxycy,

This registry change works, but for me, only if I stay on the home screen. As soon as I view another tab, then come back to the home screen, the "Action" button no longer works. The only way to get it working again is to restart manila (via today settings) or using HTCaddicts clean ram (which effictively restarts manila anyway!). When I check the processes running though, the action screen is listed as running!

Is manila now sitting "always on top"?

I note there is also a registry key "HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeLSKArguments" Should this contain anything?

Any ideas?

Great Prog by the way, really makes manila what it should be.

Cheers,

Col

... CONTINUED from previous post

SETTINGS PAGE

Similar to the shortcuts screen, the bottom row of settings icons are cut off. Though in this case not much is cut off - if you have the tab slider retract, it only cuts off the little description at the bottom of the bottom row, that says what each setting is. Kind of funny since you cant read what the setting is for but can see it's value. However if you press one, it's description moves briefly and you can then read what it was. You can also use fullscreen mode and see all of them.

FULL SCREEN

In full screen on VGA you can see all of the settings screen and all of the shortcuts, though they are right up against the bottom of the screen. Full screen also reveals that ALERT settings N S and NS do behave as i said above - eg they are actually there, just positioned for WVGA mode which is why on VGA device, N and S both seem to "do nothing"

#1 1C with N

#2 1C with S

#3 1C with NS

12 16 and 20 Shortcuts

Settings Page

The biggest issue with VGA is obviously that you cant fit as much on the screen. However it is pretty flexible and you can have many combinations of things depending on your preference. For example there is enough room to either have 2 calendar appointments, or 1 appointment and Call History. If you hide the slider tab you can have notify icons on home page (or possibly 1 row of shortcuts if you like that, though personally i dont). If you dont hide the slider tab you cant really have anything... and if you dont use the smaller clock you cant even fit what i mentioned above. But since these various combinations are so numerous, i dont think you should try and code for all of these eventualities to try and prevent the user from messing up their screen - better to leave things flexible and configurable, but let users understand that if they put too many things on then their items will overlap or scroll of the screen etc

So in summary, i think the only real issue for VGA is fixing up the notify/shortcuts on home screen by moving them up and making them show for VGA when just N or just S is selected, and tidying up the shortcut page so the bottom row isnt half cut off - either by shrinking things, or just removing the bottom row. Id also like it if the Middle Press doesnt change the clock except when you are on the actual clock home screen

Keep up the good work maxycy and please dont view this feedback as complaining one bit! It's your app and your right to look at any or none of these items. Even if you do nothing, v2.6 is still completely usable in VGA for me

If you do need anyone to try out various alpha builds/iterations at tweaking VGA feel free to give me a holler - id be happy to givefeedback.

maxycy, panoramic?

+1 for panoramic and Home as well if not too much trouble. Thank you excellent job smooth and sleek! What about a transparent button to hide the settings for Max Manila 2.6?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Strange :( That file works fine for me on my HD running a rom based on 1.48 LEO so it should be the same. Language shouldn't affect the manila filenames as far as I know. Without a HD2 I can't test it myself. Any other HD2 users could test my dirty rain anim fix?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gwbard:
panoramic "option"

I like the way panoramic was handled previously (in version 2.2 or 2.3, I believe)

We could still use a large MaxBackground.jpg -- but there was an "option" button to turn on/off the panoramic 'sliding' effect. :D

bring back animation

hi,

miri v14.

sadly i don't like the non animation it reminds me of my Hermes trying to go finger friendly :-(.. Thus i prefer the lite version but some bugs.

1) sliding to next tab (right) then back (Left) then back (Left) again then to setting then back to home (right) makes the shortcuts unable to scrollup.

2) The 1c doesn't appear to do anything, I would like history on the lite version if possible

3) The speed is super fast animation in lite edition. Could it be the notification items are the slow down culprit?

thanks for a great job.. I refresh every day :-)

cheers

Hi,

How did you get it working in the end? I used Max Manila v2.5, HDWall and CookieMonster's patch. It was the patch that caused the white background for me, but without the patch HDWall and Max Manila wouldn't work together at all. What was your work around if you don't mind explaining? Thanks.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
v2.7 further updates

Thks for all the feedbacks and screenshots so far. This does help speed things up. Few more updates for the day. I will list down all the fixes I had done so far.

1. Lite version nows works properly

2. Remove shortcuts "X" missing fixed

3. Sound profile now reset back to original setting after muting when face down

4. Going back to home page in fullscreen now does not "BLINK" except coming back fm album and music tab

5. Changed all notifications icons now to point direct to PNG file. That way there will be no compression or change in quality. Sorry skinners, you will have to re-work all the icons. Pixel will be the same; height 55 and width 60. Center point is top left corner. New filenames as below.

a. Call History - CH1.png and CH2.png ( 1 - w/o counter, 2 - wt counter )

b. Appointments - AP1.png and AP2.png

c. SMS - SM1.png and SM2.png

d. Email - EM1.png and EM2.png

6. Left softkey now fixed. There's another script that is not updating this correctly but I'm overriding this wt my own. :D

7. Panoramic added. Do not complain about speed now. However, it's been working ok on NRGZ ROM.

The wallpaper is shared wt Full. Under panoramic "P", it will scroll and under full "F", it will remain stationary. As for the Home wallpaper only, I was wondering whether I should re-use the same wallpaper and have default wallpaper set for the rest of the other tabs?

These are now my priorities setting for now.

1. Wallpapers - include panoramic? include home wallpaper? (DONE)

2. VGA mode

3. Fullscreen softkeys for all tabs

4. Rotate settings - still no idea what to do wt it. Any creative ideas are welcome

5. Other indicator icons for fullscreen ( besides the battery )

maxycy,

I think a found a strange bug in 2.6,

I have the Full version and "2" as Calendar Option. In my calendar there is one entry for the coming week, but I see another entree that I'm sure it's not in my calendar. It says:

"9:00pm-10:00pm

Staff Meeting (Seattle Office - Rm:1180)"

The above entree is not clickable.

My phone is a HTC HD2.

max manila 2.6 beta kicks ass but it would be twice as good if we were still able to swipe to other tabs from the homescreen instead of having to use the slider on the bottom

my suggestions for next release if possible

1. swipe down on the homescreen (clock screen not shortcut part) to bring up the maxmanila settings page

2. swipe left/right to go to adjacent tabs

Transparent Calendar Tab Curtain

Hi,

I've done a search on this so I apologize if I've missed it. On the Xperia X1 NRG ROMs the calendar (or the curtain; I'm ignorant as to which to specify) on the Calendar tab (not the today screen, the actual tab in which you use the slider to move to) is transparent. On other ROMs I've seen, specifically Valkyrie, that curtain/calendar is not transparent. Is there an easy to install cab file someone can point me to which will make that curtain/calendar transparent or do I have to create a whole new theme to get the job done? I've yet to experiment with the Theme Maker and I'm leery about possibly screwing something up, so I'd like to go to that as a last resort. Thank you for all your help and, again, this is a great app that's really added legs to a year-old device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] KB24@CL:
just go to max manila setting and change the wallpaper there...its the 3rd I think and then it works great.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] osrix:
Really nice work maxy, Thanks for this build even in beta it Rocks!

looks like all of the small bugs i would've flagged have been covered.

As for Rotate, its gotta be a landscape action screen surely?, like the LEO nav screen but more useful :p or maybe into The Start menu in landscape..that'd be sweeet!

maybe signal bars on Full screen but not much else i love the Space..definately softkeys on all tabs though..

Thanks again dude..donation on its way:D

HTC People Tab

Is there a way to modify (I guess Manilla itself) so that the HTC People Tab can be changed to have more contacts?

Currently I have Max Manilla 2.6 with 16 shortcuts on the Main screen but would also love to have about 16 on my HTC People tab - that would probably be enough for Favorite SMS's, Personal Phone Numbers and Work Phone Numbers and Program shortcuts!

Also - if on Max Manilla Main page (Fullscreen Mode) and you click on Mail icon it takes you to Manilla Email page. There I can thumb through mini view of mail but apparently no direct way to go to Inbox to view all mail at once. (My workaround, unless I am msissing something, is to double tap on a mini view which opens that mail item and then can click on the right soft key which then has an option for Inbox)

Am I missing something or is this just where Max is working to get softkeys for all pages even in full Screen ??

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sb09:
Thanks. Did it allow you to use a High Res' wallpaper made via HDWall? I only get a plain black wallpaper when set to Default, or my usual choice when selecting B(ackground for all). Guess I'm doing something wrong somewhere. Would so love to get Max Manila able to select a High Res wallpaper, even just on the home tab.

I like the new 2.6 it makes manila feel like its the default interface instead of a skin on windows mobile.

Here are 2 idea's i have about how it could be:

More easy:

Here is the menu bar on top of the manila bar, you still have the options. but this way the manila bar looks more like the default one, but i don't know if this is possible.

Bug1:

Sometimes when switching screens the call history calendar, time and weather bar disappear and i just have 4 icon's with shortcuts left, it happens in full screen mode.

I personally preferred the manila bar instead of the soft buttons like it was in 2.5 only downside on 2.5 was that the manila bar always hide after it's used and i rather just always be able to swipe the bar.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] eddy65:
Good evening,

First :

Since version 2.6 the shortcut icons are not

same size as the notification icons. It is less

pretty. Is there a reason?

Second:

If you choose Go lite then you can not come back to normal.

Thank you
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chuck_IV:
The reason I would like to see it is because of the weather animation. What I have found is that when using any form of a Background for All type mod on 2.5, the home screen weather animation becomes slow and it also slows that flip clock animation as well. The only way around this and still get a background for all pages is to use HDWalls to create the background. So I'd like to see a way where the Background for All mod is not included when it gets installed.

A couple other options I'd love to see...

1. Option to show 2 calendar appointments AND show the Call History. Basically whenever there is room for 3 appointments, there could be room for 2 appointments and the Call History to be visible. I'd like to see an option for this(and perhaps putting the Call History ABOVE the Calendar appointments like in Manilla 2.1).

2. The ability to turn off the hotspots on the screen, at least when not in full screen mode.

This is fantastic work maxycy. Thank you for the huge effort.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] HackMimic:
Just thought i would post this. If you install the latest HDWall cab then the latest cookemoster cab 1.21 then max manila 2.6 HDwall and max manila will work together. confirmed on NRG energy rom tp2 28008 build. it only seems to work if you follow those steps.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Chuck_IV:
I had HDwalls installed prior to installing Max Manila 2.6 and didn't have any issues after installing Max Manila. The only issue I have is that since Max Manila installs a form of Background for All, it ends up slowing my weather animation on the home page(the weather tab animation is fine tho).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] barty22:
maxycy,i hope you will consider implementing a setting to enable the animated wallpapers and the vertical sliding animation in the home tab. This is what I loved about the manila interface and it really makes it so much less fancy right now... but still i'd recommend max manila to every hd2 user out there.
