V2.5 of Max Manila Ulitimate freezes with Leo EnergyROM

Hi

Has anyone tried v.2.5 of Max Manila Ultimate on the Leo 6.5.3 EnergyROM 28005 Sense 2.5? After installing and activating it my Sense screen freezes and I have to uninstall it to get my TF3D to work again.

My device is HTC TP2

ROM Leo EnegyRom 6.5.3 28005 Build

Manila 2.5.1911619.0

Radio: 4.49.25.17

Thanks in advance!

Transparent Slider Needed

Would anyone be able to help with a working transparent slider for windows 6.5 (Home tabs and 'All People' tabs)? just like the one Max is using in his Max manila Ultimate 2.5.

I installed a cab 'Antoniomistretta transparent slider', home tabs were transparent but the 'All People' tabs were not.

I have also tried others I found on the forum but they all seems not working.

Many Thanks.

anyone knows what happened to 2.6? haven't seen max for long time
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ionrage:
Hi Max,

Just love this. Was using this on my HD and now just tried it on my HD2 but the shortcuts all appear as white and do not work. Otherwise it seems to be ok. Any idea if this can be tweaked to work with the HD2? As usual, if you need a tester let me know.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Are you referring to the level 1 tabs? The tabs with a light grey background such as contact pages, music library, world and alarm clock settings. If you are then there's a transparent level 1 bottom bar and several transparent level 1 sliders in my post (follow my signature).

It has been reported working fine on the HD2 (DJCedric). It should be fine anyway as the manila the rest of us are using is taken straight from the HD2 and should be identical (except for NRG roms which have been modified). You are using Ultimate 2.5, right?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dkp1977:
Hey guys,

any news about an update for Max Manila Ultimate? Since NRG updated his ROMs to the latest 28xxx builds which come with Manila 2.51921xxxx, Max's theme pack results in a crashing Touch Sense whenever I try and use the tab slider. :(

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
The problem lies with the NRG latest 28xxx roms for the HD. He seems to have tweaked the manila files and it is this that is clashing with Max Ultimate. Maxycy said he would look into this to see if he can get around it, if not you are going to have to make a choice - either NRG and no Max Manila or Max Manila on another rom. It is working perfectly on the rom I'm using (build 28004 and manila 2.519211619.0) and a few other roms also seem to have no problems.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mshnayde:
Full screen toggle.

Do you guys know if there is a version that gives us the full screen toggle without the 4 icons at the bottom.

Thanks
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Full screen does not work on all roms AFAIK, but if you keep the notification icons on the main screen, hide the tab icons and then switch screens to the separate screen where the notifications displayed you can get a screen with no icons.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dkp1977:
Thanks for the information, ClydeB1. :)

Well, what I liked most about the theme was that I had 16 quicklinks on the homescreen and the same background on all tabs. I know there are several cabs that achieve the same. I tried some, but for some reason I lose my action button. So I think I'll try some other cabs hoping to find a solution. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
I think you will have the same problems with any of these other cabs also. As I said, NRG has made some tweaks to his manila files and these seem to break all of these "16 link, background for all tabs" tweaks. If you want this theme then you are probably going to have to find another rom, as I have also had to do (at least until NRG "fixes" what he has changed in his manila files.)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dkp1977:
Oh, okay.. I think I will stay with his ROM and wait for any fixes. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] schneid:
NRG 28005 Raphael Standard works fine on my device. 28002 11/20 was broken but I was able to use Max 1919. Since 11/21, 2.5 Ultimate has worked fine again too.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dkp1977:
You know what? I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, I can uninstall it anyway.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Yes, but you don;t use an HD now do you. It may work on your device, but it doesn't work on the HD.

It will freeze your manila tabs - You have been warned ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dkp1977:
Yep, it does. But at least it was a short moment of enjoyment seeing my favorite ROM with 16 quicklinks.. :D
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bo79:
For me Ultimate 2.5 is not working on NRGs 21877 (27th Nov). It seems it has nothing to do with the windows build, but with the modifications NRG made...

I´ll will wait for an update. I cannot imagine abandon either EnergyROM or MaxManila.

Does anyone know if we could get Sense 2.5 as a cab? So i can flash the titanium version, install Sense 2.5 and enjoy MaxManila? Would there be any

disadvantages?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Max's Ultimate theme modifies only manila, not Windows build, so you can flash it on any rom as long as it has unedited manila 2.5 (Windows 6.1/6.5/6.5.1/6.5.3 etc). NRG roms currently have a modified version of 2.5 and may not work!

Sense 2.5 / TF3D / manila (all the same thing) has to be cooked in to a rom to work - no cabs I'm afraid.

Just flash a rom by someone else or wait til nrg releases a fixed version of his rom.

BTW for all these "it won't work on NRG 20/11" posts could you please state your device? This is a HD forum and most of us assume you have a HD unless you say otherwise...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gshadow325:
on ppcgeeks, i read a post from the OP that manila 1921 does not work correctly and he is working on max manilla 2.6

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=97504
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
The thread on PPCGeeks was started by bignadad so the folks over on that forum could see the great work Max is doing here. Ultimate 2.5 works perfectly fine on Sense 2.5.1921xx, it's the NRG rom's that it has problems with.

Max is indeed working on 2.6 - all the info @ PPCGeeks came directly from this very thread ;) Hopefully Max will be able to make it work with the NRG rom's edited manila, but mainly 2.6 will be full of updates and new features.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
This does not work on an HD running the latest NRG roms. We extracted some files from the rom and sent them to Maxycy. He checked the files out and he reckons that NRG has made some specific tweaks to his manila files and as such these tweaks cause lock ups when installing Max Ultimate.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
It's a zip, not a cab. Either copy the manila files from the fix over to your phone's Windows dir using Total Commander or Resco Explorer (File Explorer is no good) or just unzip the file to your phone and install MaxTTM app to deploy as components ;)

@ClydeB1: I was just editing that post after re-reading it and realising I hadn't mentioned the NRG problem...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bo79:
That would be great, but in my opinion it is not Max´s problem, if NRG is modifying something..

If we just could find out, what is responsible for the error, we could fix it ourself... (Max asked some time ago to send him 2 Manila files. Perhaps we can get these files from a working 1921 Sense 2.5-ROM and overwrite the files in the Energy-ROM ?)

I´ll try to ask NRG, if he knows the reason, that broke the compatibility with MaxManila. I´ll keep you updated!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
I saw your edit ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] schneid:
Have you tried the 1919 version?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Apparently v2.2 (1920) works.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skyandsand:
I'm sorry to quote myself, but has anybody a solution? :o
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Oops, missed this one! Cookiemonsters HQ wallpaper patch was going to be my suggestion, but unfortunately cookiemonster himself has said you get a wallpaper on all tabs using the patch with Max's theme :/ Theoretically you can have a HQ wallpaper (or default wallpaper) for all tabs and then another seperate HQ wallpaper for the home tab. Except it doesn't seem to work. Keep an eye on cookiemonsters HQwall patch thread and here to see if a fix can be found.

Ref: cookiemonsters post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5039392&postcount=154
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
You'll probably get more joy posting in the HD Wall thread ;).

You will probably need to use the HTC Sense 2.5 - Home Tab - No Compression config setting. Although if you use it together with this theme I don't think you can restrict the wallpaper to the Home Tab only, as this theme also applies background to all tabs does it not?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] skyandsand:
First, thanks for your posts, guys. :)

Yeah, hope that cookiemonster will find a fix for this issue in the future... but for so long I'll try different settings on HDWall and post the issue in the HDWall thread... :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Okay so I love Max Ultimate. I'm on a new HTC HD2 (Leo) with OS 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81), Manila 2.5.19202525.0, and ROM 1.43.405.1 (70124).

BUT, I'm having one problem preventing me from using this (which I really want to figure out). After installing Max Manila 2.519202525 Ultimate 2.5, the slider tab does not match up to the icon. So when the tab is on the "Home" icon...the tab is slightly off by about a millimeter or less to the upper right. I have no clue what is causing it because I've tried installing Ultimate 2.5 with nothing else on my phone and the same thing happens.

Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bo79:
Can anyone, who is using a WVGA ROM with Sense 2.5.19211619.0 and has no problems with Ultimate 2.5, please send me or upload the following two files?

7c60907d_manila

3a8e04af_manila
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Go to settings screen (with all the toggle switches) and switch Slider to ON. That should switch the top icon off so you now only see the bottom one.;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Here you go, hope it works for you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] dkp1977:
No I didn't.. oO

Oh, okay. I will try this one. If it doesn't work, I'll follow schneid's advice and try 1919..

[Edit]

\o/ yay! You were right, ClydeB1, v2.2 (1920) works fine. Thanks a lot, pal. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Just want to put up a quick post as I believe some people thought that I may have disappeared. I'm just away on holiday in the last couple of days wt my family and didn't get a chance to put up the notice. Currently at the airport and should be back home in a couple of hours.

I see that there are still some issues wt NRG ROM. I presumed that this only valid for HD2?

Also, progress on v2.6 has slowed down a bit as the fullscreen is giving more headache than expected. If I can't get every screen to work accordingly in the next couple of days, I will release a beta version first.

Ok...gotta catch my flight now. ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bo79:
Thank you very much for the files!! :)

But unfortunately it doesn´t work...

In the Rhodium EnergyROM Leo thread someone suggested to install cookiemonsters 1.21 patch alongside MaxManila. Still no luck..

I think i´ll have to stick with Ultimate 2.2 and wait patiently for NRG or Max (or someone else) for a fix.

@maxycy

Hope you enjoyed your holiday!!

Just saw your post while typing.

From what i´ve read, the problems with NRGs ROMs are device independent. All WVGA devices seem to have problems with Ultimate 2.5. I have no answer from NRG, what he has changed..

Have a good flight!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sb09:
Hey Max, thanks for the update!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
These files are actually altered by the Ultimate theme anyway, so installing Max's theme would overwrite them with his. In the 7c60907d_manila file there are the references to the wallpaper lua scripts and codes, but these references are to seperate files. As I understand it HTC removed standard wallpaper after 2.5.1919 so we just have weather wallpaper and animated. NRG re-added standard wallpaper from the old manila, so installing Ultimate breaks these scripts from the old manila. This is probably why some people are having success with the older Ultimate builds for 1919 and 1920 on the NRG roms as they still have the standard wallpaper scripts in them.

This is what I think has happened from what I've been reading anyway ;) I don't use NRG roms myself and have had no problems at all on Maryone, Xannytech, XNOR, Sh3lby or Chinhe roms - all with the 2.5.1921 manila.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pp18:
hi Max,

(looks like my last post was not noticed. sorry for a re-post here)

Just a small suggestion on the notification icon. Is it possible to use the top-left 60x55 pixels instead of scaling 64x64 to 60x55? Using the top-left (or centered) portion will enable skinner to create better-looked icons.

A suggestion for the full-screen mode:

allow displaying 2 appoints even the slider is visible. by using a smaller clock area, everything including notification icons, 2 appoints and slider should be able to be fit into WVGA.

just brainstorming for your consideration.

thanks again for your great app. my friends tend to get the cab from me immediately after i showed them your work. :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Pleasure m8.

Thanks for the update Maxycy. Just to inform you that the problem is not limited to the HD2, as the HD also has problems running Ultimate v2.5 with the latest NRG roms.

Oh well worth a try I guess. I doubt NRG is going to change his rom, so hopefully Max can resolve the issue for you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Good....at least only NRGZ ROM is having the problem. Thks for the confirmation

OK....I'll take a look what is best for the notification icons. I'm just a bit worried that the changes will involve re-working all the existing icons out there.

At fullscreen, most of the time you can have up to 3 appointments.

Thks again for this confirmation. Just coincidentally, I have for the second time, file corruption happening on XannyTech ROM. Not sure whether anybody wt this ROM is experiencing a similar problem or my phone is cracking up. Anyway, since I have to reboot, I might as well flashed NRGZ ROM. ( pls note that I can only test out the HD version ).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Try flashing the stock rom first. I had a series of continuous self hard resets about a month ago. Flashing the stock rom was recommended to me to fully clear out the phone's memory etc. It worked and I haven't had any problems since. It coincidentally happened while using XT rom but I think it can affect all custom roms after you've had lots of flashes ;)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
No problems so far for me on Xanny Evo 1.4
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bo79:
Thank you for this very good explanation! :)

Trying to get Ultimate 2.5 to work is a good motivation to learn more about mode9 and lua scripts.

Btw, i find this whole wallpaper thing in Sense 2.5 confusing (weather, animated, standard. isn´t the wallpaper itself animated or not? what has the weather animation to do with the wallpaper?). It would be very nice to have an option in Ultimate to choose a wallpaper (perhaps separated into home / other tabs or landscape / portrait; if you want bg4all you would just choose the same).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
In the earlier builds you had weather wallpaper (without any mods or themes this was a black background with the weather playing over it), standard wallpaper (a jpeg of your choosing with no weather animation) and animated (a selection of scripted manila files that played across the screen). Max's tinkering allowed us to have the weather animation play on top of our jpeg's, as well as using the jpeg on all tabs. Then HTC dumped standard wallpaper but allowed you tp select a jpeg under the weather animation.

As for multiple backgrounds rotastrain made this work on a very early build of 2.5 over in the Xperia forums. Unfortunately it caused a lot of slow down in manila, and it's obviously not compatible with the newer builds. As I use full screen wallpaper (skin the task/softkey bars to match the wallpaper) I wouldn't use the multiple wallpapers anyway myself. Although you could then make a light coloured wallpaper for each tab, but with a dark box for some of the text... :D (For example a white wallpaper would make your sms unreadable, unless you put a black box behind it on the wallpaper).
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
Ok....found the problem for NRGZ ROM. It's related to 2 lua scripts. Can be changed quite easily. ;)

Off to bed now.....will start working on this again tomorrow. :p
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] ClydeB1:
Fantastic, as usual you never disappoint. Enjoy the rest, its probably been a long day for you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Bo79:
THX again for the explanation!

That´s exactly my problem with BG4allTabs, that sms, calendar are not readable enough (bad english?). If Ultimate 2.5 is working with my ROM choosing and "optimizing" the wallpaper is next on my list.

I found Co0kieMonster High Quality Wallpaper Patch to have different wallpapers on home and the other tabs in HQ. Haven´t tried it yet.

Great!! Hope it is not to much work for you.

Some hours ago NRG posted the following in his Rhodium thread:

ROM is up already. Also for Topaz and Blackstone. For now only 21877. Will test if Ultimate 2.5 is working and report here if it´s working.

One question: Is a ROM with CFC compressed manila a problem in general for add-ons like MaxManila?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] sonificator:
I am curious if it worked on the new Dec 1 EnergyROM ?

Which MaxManila version?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] pulse55:
Manila 2.5.19211619

Hello, there is 16/20 shortcuts with BG4all background in Manila 2.5.19211619

And what about new Max Manila?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Can someone post the original tab sliders that are installed with Ultimate 2.5 (the transparent ones with the glassy look to them)? I accidentally installed something different and can't get the original tab slider back. I'd really appreciate it if someone could post the files here...thanks!!
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] younissmed:
i tried it on a diamond with a custom rom that has manila 2.5.19211619.0 but it looks like it was designed for wvga devices not the vga ones so it doesn't fit properly,my question is,does anyone know if i can make it suitable for VGA devices,thanks in advance
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Uncompressed manila files (like Max's themes and all of the mods in my signature) should work fine on a CFC compressed rom. CFC compressed files, however, will not work on a rom without CFC compression. To that end I intend to not use CFC compression for greater compatibility and I suspect Max will leave his uncompressed too(?)

It's here ;) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4824886&postcount=958

I read the post from two guys, that Ultimate 2.5 is not working on NRGs Dez01 ROM. But 2.2 and 2.3b seem to work. So i´ll wait for a new ROM from NRG or a fix from Max.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
I've just flashed NRG's new 01/12 rom for the HD. Unfortunately after installing Ultimate 2.5 switching tabs causes Sense UI to re-launch :(
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] KB24@CL:
with the latest manila the ultimate version causes some HTC icons to appear double in the start menu...

you can manually delete it in the windows/start menu department, still it doesn't seem to be optimized for that yet.

can we expect an update in the foreseeable future? because I don't want my phone without maxmanilla anymore:)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bignadad:
same problem here on my touchpro 2!! i love NRG's ROM but not working with maxmanila 2.5 is KILLING ME!!

i got maxmanila 2.2 for 2.51920 to install and work, but the background for home and all other tabs was not working with HDWall.

oh and the fact that 2.5 has more features than 2.2

have seen comments on this thread that is narrowed down to 2 lua script files in manila....also saw a comment from NRG that he is going to TRY and make compatible in his next release.....

ALSO saw someone in this thread say that new what the problem was....i wonder if NRG knows that??

The problem lies with the NRG latest 28xxx roms for the HD. He seems to have tweaked the manila files and it is this that is clashing with Max Ultimate. Maxycy said he would look into this to see if he can get around it, if not you are going to have to make a choice - either NRG and no Max Manila or Max Manila on another rom. It is working perfectly on the rom I'm using (build 28004 and manila 2.519211619.0) and a few other roms also seem to have no problems

hopefully a fix or update will be here soon......
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] millski:
Ultimate doesn't affect any start menu or program icon files. The duplicates must be in the rom or due to cabs you've installed (most roms seem to have the old myphone so after installing the update I always end up with 2 myphone icons :/)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] KB24@CL:
^well I don't have ANY cabs installed...

max manila is always the first thing I install.

well for whatever reason when I install this cab on my new HTC rom (official rom) then some icons appear twice...

Wallpaper

Hi!

Could you tell me how to instal a new wallpaper ?

I have an HD with energyrom 21877 and Max manila v2.2.

I tried to instal cabs, but there's only a change for bottom and top bar, and nothing else.

And on the wallpaper "B": there's a white cube on top left (operetor)

on the wallpaper "D": the pixels are dirty on center( grey)

Thanks

Boul69 :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] maxycy:
The main root cause is that NRGZ ROM still uses an old script for the loading of images to the shortcuts. One of the constant in the lua script is not recognized and henceforth re-launching the manila. ;)

I remembered that there is a lua script which creates these shortcuts under certain conditions. These can be removed. ;)

Good news to everyone. v2.6 should works on all ROMs now including NRGZ. Maybe I'll release a beta version out over the weekend to at least get a working version out for you guys to use first.

The white cube will disappear when you load a wallpaper from menu.

This is also another problem that I'm experiencing wt NRGZ ROM. When I load a dark wallpaper for BG4all, there are "dirty" pixels on it. Anybody experiencing a similar problem?
