It just a matter of personal taste. If you enable it, with each frame transferred to the display (screen refresh from video ram to display), it will check for to see whether it has already begun or not (VSync). If yes, then wait else render new frame in video ram (or transfer from buffer). This of course would result in a very smooth animation as all frame drawn will be displayed (no tearing effect too).

With it disabled, every frame is transferred to the display as soon the rendering complete, without waiting (even if the last frame has not been displayed on the screen). This would result in fast animation as some frame would be lost (never displayed because was replaced by another frame). It can also cause tearing effect, where during screen refresh, a new frame is transfered in.

So in the end, it's whether you want it to be a fast animation or a smooth animation. I would prefer smooth animation when I'm relaxed but most of the time, I prefer the fast one. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Ugh!!! I can't help it, my hand was itched :D... so I share the work progress :D..

Here the ported files.

Core

Home

People

Messaging

Others tabs still on progress...

* USE IT IS YOUR OWN RISK.

* Please give me your report & post the screenshoot if you successed cooking it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Well, enable it will make the animation quite awful, you can try it, it's not just the same with the VSync on computer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Great! Will try soon! And just heard if you cook in Leo 2.02 weather tab with other tabs in Topaz ROM, the weather animation will be better and the speed is also OK, maybe you can try.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Cooking already, with all the 2011 tabs! Let's see the WIP! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] btxakita:
Uh,I think on our devices,TS2 weather tab should be more smooth.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
That's strange, no Sense at all! Even in Seetings - Home, it isn't just listed! Please take a look here, pal! :(

EDIT: maybe I shouldn't apply yozgatz's kitchen tweaks? Now I'm going out, later I'll try to recook clean! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
You can CFC it using Chainfire's tool. it is very easy. Go check out the new thread.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tonio94:
Ouups sorry I didn't catch the kernel point...

I'm on a GSM Diamond.

The free ram at startup is about 25Mo but it quickly goes down to 10-15 free Mo as soon as I start launching/closing some apps
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
It's linked in post #2 if you read that. It's also very easy to do yourself thanks to chainfires updated cfcgui tool.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
It was hacked by kisja to limit the program launcher.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
So If I keep that out of my ROM it goes back to normal, right??? Thanks for the info

Also would you mind uploading the Audio Manager Engine EXT you use?? I've tried a few and they never can seem to retrieve my music.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omnicronx:
Ouch that hurts, I still don't understand how everyones RAM usage is varying so much. I'm using a CFC'd version of manila with a few packages such as footprints removed, but that does not account for the huge difference in RAM usage. Now I know my device has more RAM in the first place, but I've got a little under 100M free after load, and it sits around 90M once I start using it for a while, and this is with a 32M pagepool (making our difference in RAM even 20M less). I really doubt that a CFC'd version of manila alone is the reason why my usage is so much lower. Perhaps we people should start comparing EXT packages being used.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
correct me if im wrong, but the link in post 2 that CFC'd is for wvga, no?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
here Audio_Manager_Engine_2_0_19201927_h
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Yes it is - we're all using the WVGA packages, and just overwriting those files with the modded VGA files. Are you doing it differently?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omnicronx:
Yep looks like it, I don't even think there was anything to CFC in the ported VGA files, so basically all you need is the WVGA cfc'd version. (I think there was one tiny 32x32 pixel picture in Manila Core so I would not worry about it, not everything has to be CFC'd and the file is tiny anyways).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] benko286:
But why to use wvga packages?

Isnt it better and faster to use vga packages?

Or it is too hard to cfc vga files?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
You can CFC some of the VGA files but not all of them are QTC files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Thanks...I'll give it a shot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kamill:
I've just flashed Kisjas RC1 SUN Y rom and noticed something strange. Before getting my contacts/sms/appointments back from the backup (by SPB Backup) it was working quite smooth and there were no freezes. After restoring the backup it was laggin a bit more, but, what's more important, Sense was freezing after adding a favorite! I did not restore any files from my previous rom :confused: Moreover, this bug was not only on Kisjas rom.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Ok, I Illustrated like this.

In WVGA Packages, There is files like this

1_manila

2_manila

3_manila

4_manila

Only 2_manila and 3_manila that should be change to change it to VGA layout, so I porting (edit) the 2_manila and 3_manila and save it into VGA package.

so In VGA package, there is only:

2_manila

3_manila

So How to cook?

The WVGA packages should be included before VGA packages, so the ported files from VGA package will overwrite the original WVGA file.

01_WVGA_MANILA Included

1_manila

2_manila

3_manila

4_manila

02_VGA_MANILA Included

2_manila Overwrited

3_manila Overwrited

:D :D :D Have a nice think about it... sorry for my great english :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
I don't think you understand how this port was done. What amarullz & Kisja have done is just take the original WVGA files, and modify (port) only the ones necessary to make Sense 2.5 work on our device. This makes it easier to make future updates, as new versions emerge, and makes the port more reliable. There are no "VGA packages" to CFC.

EDIT: . . . and amarullz has beaten me to it. I'm so slow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omnicronx:
Captain_Throwback : Whats your RAM usage with CFC'd 1921 manila?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
I'm not sure. I've never checked. I've got so much other stuff running (I run CHome concurrently using TFDetacher) that I don't think mine is a good benchmark. Besides that, I have Exchange Activesync set up, and all the Sense data options set to automatically download. I'll check, though, after this next flash, and post a screenshot of my usage.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
I'm having sms issues also but only on my com2 build. com5 build sms is fine. the text messages just stay in the outbox and do not send. receiving sms is ok.

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Yeah, I will try both and see how it's going.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:

***EDITED***
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sportfisio:
Hi! Thanks for the tip! But I've searched and downloaded the cab at first post, and I think its the previous version of the Qlin port amarullz made (I'm telling this because its the first I installed, and I can see no difference with yours). Amarullz said that on last port, he fixed some stuff that I can't see, as the delete button, so I think your cab is not the last port. Could you make a cab with the last features? Thank you very very much! I just want to make video call with my Pro!

And many thanks to the great porters and coders here!

EDIT: I don't know why, but at second soft reset, all the improves suddenly appear, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

EDIT 2: no, sorry. After making the first calling, the delete button disappears...sorry. Does anybody have the last Qlin cab?

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Ok, here are some screen shots:)

Just tried Leo Manila Weather, it's slow... So we should stick to the Topaz one.

BTW, can you make a CDMA fix(remove SIM card check, the reply number may also needs a fix) for us? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Actually, I'm using yozgatz's latest kitchen and i just placed the new packages where he placed his old packages (which worked, by the way). I'm seeing now how you get to cook, gonna try again soon! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
this looks so kick ass !

y'day the home tab and today the contact in landscape !

AMARULLZ !

i have no words !

And this port is coming out faster than the 2.5.192XXX came !

Great Job to all !

Got me really excited !

But i wonder then how will people chose between 2.1 and 2.5 won't it be obvious 2.5 ???

I wonder ........

but this is great....

thanks to all .

cheers.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Ok then, now I get Sense 2011 to start but as I click anywhere, Sense just shuts down and restarts. Attaching the usual buildlog if you care! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
just wondering how you guyss are usingg the leo from 1922 weather? it hasnt been ported over, i was planning on just using the 1921 weather vga thats been ported, no?

alsoo justt curiouss what everyone is using for their EXT? last i was aware of on the front page most of those packages needed to be converted to vga? no? soo i didnt beileve we could use the package from 1922 or 2011 cause we need to convert them? Only a certain select few we could use that werent dependent on reolustion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
thx Amarullz.....u rock!

Am I correct in assuming we should not use any of the previous mods, like classic messaging mod, fastmanila, 12_Quicklinks?

will your manila locker still work on 2011?

thx again!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
hey OMJ im using your latest kitchen....not sure if you've already done so, but i've added in the latest files to your kitchen...didnt really do much else. Not trying to be disrespectful, love and respect your kitchen, if you want me to save you some time i can upload my (your) kitchen for you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pvp26:
amarullz why dont you open a new thread...

your always posting your new projects within other threads, which people wont notice.

let every one hear and see the great work your doing....

Just a thought.

btw cant wait to cook this and try it on diamond.

how about the other ext packages guys? which ROM are they from?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Everything is from the TOPAZ_S2 ROM Thanks to Conflipper for the mirror.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
what cant we or can we use...

i think the list is shorter on what we cant use?

what still needs to be fixed in terms of external packages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] diamond_lover:
Hi guys :) In a rom thread I see the cooker have disabled rotation for music and photos tab for less ram usage.

I want to try something like this, but I don't know how. I've tried search in this thread, but nothing..

Anyone can help me? Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
I'm not sure....my main device is a Touch Pro2 so I can use just about everything.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mwalt2:
Most packages with an .xml file(s) will need to be ported. You can do that with programatix's xmlgui fairly easy for most of them.

@All, what's the easiest way to test the xmlgui results? Is it best to just cook them in a ROM as WVGA, port the xml, and then copy to \windows to see the effects?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
In 2.5.2011.3030 the Photos Tab doesn't do the fullscreen animated rotation unless you change a lua script. I'm sure kimi can add the same script to the Music Tab to stop it from rotating. kimi is also looking to actually speed up both tabs so you might not need to stop them from rotating.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
is it just me or does the latest S2_topaz rom still have 1922 in there for photo tab messsage tab and some others????

how come?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
thx, but I have everything added too, just gotta tweak it....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Not every package will get updated. 2011 or 1922 is just the date it was built.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
oo sweet...so im assuming youve already been working on your next update? any idea when you'll be releasing yours just in case mine has problems ?? lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
I'm cooking a test ROM now.....though I know I still need to replace some XMLs
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gmic1000:
Can anyone please share the Manila_2.5.2011_WVGA package?

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5548587&postcount=1792

You can dump them from the rom here
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gmic1000:
Ok Thanks alot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
thx again amarullz....

see attached SS, "My Location" is overlapping the clock

i know this is not a manila issue, but my location is not working either....maybe I missed something

hey aamikam, I used your menu enhancement reg tweak, it's fast but getting some weirdness....see attached SS.....thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
justt curious...what from the 2011 would cause a non-bootable rom, with a white screen...

Been cooking all day and i love 2011 and the new text messaging app, only prob is that out of the 20 times ive cooked, ive only got it to boot up once and that was when i pretty much disabled everything. soo something is causing it to not boot after you get to the screen that says "please wait preparing your device"

any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
im im using wm6.5 not 6.5.x.... shouldn't be an issue... but ill hit u up in private and send u my app.reg
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] greg17477:
same problem here..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
My Location not working

I actually had this problem when cooking the unported packages as well. When I press My Location on the Home tab, the Weather tab opens correctly, but when I press "Update Now", nothing happens. I'm using all of the packages that came with the Topaz ROM with Sense 2.5, and My Location works correctly on the 1921 VGA port using the exact same packages. Any ideas what's up?

I think it IS a Manila issue, actually, since the only thing I changed between it working and not is Sense build :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] megapinky:
maybe something like picture tab? check for enable?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5543518&postcount=1761
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Well, I don't know anything about Manila editing, so I have no idea about that. The thought has just occurred to me though that there could be an option in the Settings menu to enable/disable My Location. Is there? (I have since flashed back to the previous version)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] megapinky:
yes, is there, but dont work for me :(

If you disable the location, go to wheather tab, click menu, appear enable my location, but dont work for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
I made some adjustments & cooked another ROM.....Home page is now aligned properly, but my location is still not working even after activating in settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
My Location works on my Touch Pro2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] megapinky:
Hi TMartin

some tweaks to enable My Location?

do you make the picture tab work?

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
I didn't have to use any tweaks to get My Location working. I haven't got the file made yet for picture tab location because it keeps giving me errors. kimi is always helping me since I'm not so great at manila files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] megapinky:
I dont know how you do it, but i know you can make it :D

i'm going to try with weather, your TP is GSM? do you install all files from Topaz, or just a few?

thanks for all the help
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
works fine for me. it's important that you enable my location through the menu and get the google tos. i used all the unported packages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vetvito:
My location works perfectly for me. Just enable it in the Home tab menu. The weather tab in Portrait looks small...

Still very nice
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
ManilaLock need to rewrite for this Manila Build, so don't include it, it will mess up the home layout.

To enable My Location, open "Menu" on Home Tab and enable my location.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
I am test cooking with 2011 right now.

Can tell the landscape is working but the slider is missing and I have this dark layer over the screen. If I slide the kb out the dark layer does not cover the whole screen and I can see the weather tab animations and such.

My location is working fine on weather tab also.

Any ideas?

My location and weather on home tab look great too but the dark layer is covering it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
I'm a dunce. Thanks. I didn't scroll in that menu and realize there was an option to enable it. It's working fine now. You still want screenshots?

Looks like you're using a mod from an older Sense version, perhaps a background for all tabs?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
I am re-cooking with everything removed but Sense 2011 and requirements.

Will post back and let you know how it goes.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Still the same after removing everything.

It is like the curtain is covering the screen always.

No sure where the slider is. LOL

I will delve into the manila files and see what I can come up with.

Maybe remove the curtain and see if that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vetvito:
^ Maybe you are missing something, did you use all of the original 2011 packages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
I used all the files posted in the package posted a few pages back.

Placed in the kitchen below the WVGA files.

Hmmmm

Maybe I need to replace the WVGA files with 2011 WVGA files.

Did not think of that. :/

Does anyone have those or do I need to dump a 2011 WVGA rom?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vetvito:
Yes, you need those.

Here is the original 2011:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
htc left a nice little bug there on the account name and number of the email ;)

on a wvga screen, you can't really see it, but on a vga screen, it's definately noticeable. try switching between portrait and landscape. i had to remove htc's code for that part and use my own.

Ok... Here the Calendar Update :D​

What bug? can you give me the details?

[EDIT]: Oh.. You mean the Account name&mail count position on bottom of mail (Bottom-right)?, I already fixed it. I add HandleAccountNameUpdate() in Email_Landscape.luac (663492d4_manila) after the screen rotated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
beautiful as usual :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] btxakita:
Really fantastic

So next one is photo?music or weather?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Can someone post the full dependencies for this to work?

Home tab looks great but Sense just keeps re-loading over and over.

Does this still use the Requirements, Optional and Common packages that work with 1920/1921?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
your screenshot says otherwise :D

i know that the position of the account name and email count isn't consistent between portrait and landscape nor is it updated correctly. this was particularly bad on build 1922.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] btxakita:
I've got sth newer

and just several packages updated.

About Manila:Just Mail tab updated.

And it seems that other packages make no sense except Phonecanvas 3G.

so only mail tab uploaded here

----------------------------------------------------

EDIT:Sorry,have uploded a wrong file now it is fixed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
ok guys... i got most of the 2011 and some of the 1922 packages that were newer then what came in the topaz rom converted to vga landscape and portrait, some of the work was a real pain... xmlgui didn't work for all files and i needed to calculate ratio's and such.... sucks doing it with in the file.

anyways... I've attached a file with all the ones i've done. please note that these are only ADDON'S and u would have to cook it after the original package or copy over and overwrite the existing files in that package.

since i've been messing with regedits also... all of my app.reg are in those packages as well. u would need them also...(since i didn't remeber which reg i messed with i just put all of them).

i've test them all in landscape and portrait, they all work... if u guys come up with any issues please let me know and i'll do my best to help u out.

packages included:

geo service 1922
agps 2011
appointmenteditor 2011
contactpicker 2011
device info 2.7.1
email setup wizard 2011
group editor 2011
