If XmlGui can't open the xml file, open it with any text editor and remove the first line. Then save and open with XmlGui again. HTC is using a non-standard XML header, so Microsoft Xml Parser can't read it.

Btw, it seems like only Manila 2.5 is able to relocate it's position correctly (as reported by others, but I haven't try cooking Manila 2.5 yet), but other packages don't relocate automatically (Menu, CommManager). I still need to patch them. Anyway, for Menu Enchancement, I can't seem to get rounded corner for the menu. No such problem with Leo's Menu Enchancement though...

Thank you aamikam
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i know what u mean... but the error is on row 8 or row 19 and such... nothing that has to do with the 1.0.1 issue...

like for example im trying to see if i can fix album 3.2 im cooking it now to see how i did manually with a text editor... cuz again... xmlgui didnt open it.

don't get me wrong... im not *****ing... im just saying it doesn't work on some files.

ill try to erase to whole first line although the error is in some other row... not the first one.

it works perfect for me... but im using 6.5.... personally i can't stand the over sized everything that 6.5.x has to offer.

btw... everything that i did as far as the xml's works almost perfect (fit's the screen and push buttons are in the right spots) but... i guess since im skinning within the package to fit my rom i forgot to resize some images for u guys... it just means that some buttons might be oversized or such... but still in the right spot and works... ill get to work on completing that later on cuz i got tons of hw.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Great, but amarullz just need re-porting...

@programatix: then just use the Leo one with the same registry keys(but maxitemsportrait should be 7), they are almost the same.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Sometimes (a lot of time actually), there are bugs in the XML itself. Since I'm using Microsoft XML parser (which is very strict), it will cause exception. Most of the problem is solved (from those who asked me personally) by removing the error in the XML. Example of such problem are:

same attribute appeared multiple times in the same element

the opening " is not closed

and etc

If you post the error message (to XmlGui thread), maybe I can help.

Yup, that's what I'm doing. Just want to confirm if it is as it is or I did something wrong, thus causing the missing rounded corner.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
ok man... thanks.. i stopped working on things for now... ill get back at it later and post the error.

hey guys just curious, would love to have landscape, but i never know what to use to make my screen rotate other than the pic tab etc

what program/techniques do you guys use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
My friend its not your problem or you are not doing anything wrong currently there is no way to roatate ( landscape ) on Manila 2.5

But now there are newer builds from HTC for WVGA devices ( Touch Pro 2, Topaz Etc etc ).

But Our developers Amarullz and Kimi are porting ( resizing ) it to fit on VGA devices ( Touch Pro, Diamond Etc etc etc ).

When they are done with porting you will be able to put new packages in your ROM and have a landscape Mania.

The screenshots you see are TEST Runs for the Manila ( basically they are trying to identify bugs before public release ...)

So don't worry just keep an eye on this thread when the port is ready you can cook t or the ROM you use the Chef will I'm sure cook a new ROM with the new port.

I use hold send key to rotate
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
As usual, Thanks Much!!!

thx bro!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
what do you mean by this ??

that guy i think thought that we can rotate all tabs in 192XX versions of manila

but he does not know that the screenshots he is seeing are of 2011 version...

thats what i think..

don't know...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr3sh_t0_d3f:
he was asking how to actually rotate the screen. you can set your send key to rotate the screen by holdng it or you can install an app like flip it or change screen.

Note the thread title: [APP][VGA][01.DEC.09]Manila 2.5.192X VGA Port (only for cooks)

This must be cooked into your ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
great and thanks,

but a lil confused. You said that those were Add-Ons for some 2011 and 1922 packages. You also said that some of the 1922 packages were actually newer than what was included in the S2 rom. My question is if it wasnt edited for the topaz packages, how would know which package you did use.

Doesnt it matter if you used a slightly different build date than what we might use?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Hello, amarullz, I found a bug in your new Manila port, the position of "No Messages" in Message tab is incorrect. And, when sliding the slider in landscape mode, the positions of the black background and the big icons on the background(where are they? off the screen?) are also incorrect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
it should work for any of the packages i said... and probably even all of the topaz one.

but for example...

i said geo service 1922... so if u want to be exact.. use a pack that has 1922 on it (1.0.1922...) or agps 2011 which means (1.0.2011...)

doesnt have to be 1.0 could be something else... for example email setup 2011 is 2.3.2011...

i hope u get it... worst case i said before that i need to completely resize some images since the packages im using are used for my rom and are skinned different than what u would normally have in any other dump...

ill upload again full packages as soon as i'll have time for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
ya i see what your saying....that would be great if u can upload the full packages...no rush tho

i'm gonna wait to cook this latest version of manila till all the tabs get ported over...Hopefully sometime this week it'll be somewhat complete and i can start cookin.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XERO_Racer:
Im experiencing performance issues with locker RC2.1 on energyrom, whenever i unlock it, the slider gets laggy when i slide it and the transition is slow, makes sense slow whenever i slide on the tabs bar on sense, is there a fix for it?

and also every tab on sense has the same background as the hometab but when i installed it all of it besides the home tab has the stock black background
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] qiuness:
Are all the fixes ONLY for VGA devices? meaning can i install the winter backgrounds on a TP2?

thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Finally made it to the 2011 beta party! :D

Thanks also for the ported packages, managed to make unique working 0410 packages too! ;) Very poor resolution background, though!

By the way, anyone knows where I can find 0410 folder for latest HTC_UsbToPcPopUp? Tried inserting the one I had but I'm getting longer than normal screen (800 maybe?) and above all no buttons and just a few writings... what version is it compatible to? :(

And @neoceltic for an old post: I set timezone via regedit too and in Sense I get Prague/Berlin either. Strange is, in regular MS Time/Date settings I get Rome/Paris. HTC's jet lag? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fr3sh_t0_d3f:
the beta packages are running good. so far i only have one problem. The messaging tab. wen i press the "compose new message" button it doesn't do anything. nor does anything happen when i press all messages or menu-New. Can someone please help me out?

Try changing Contact Utilities to the one from Manila 2.5

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neroko:
Im trying to port 1922, I want to remove some settings out of settings like the PIN/PIN2, Band, etc... Also stocks and footprint out of tab options. I have Sprint so I cant use them plus if im reprogramming my phone, you know I cant afford to buy stocks. I have m9editor and cfc-gui to edit plus I can get any program I need (Love bein a Pirate :D) but have no clue where to look in the files. Any info would really help with my ROM build. I know everyone is waiting for 2011 to be done but I want to learn from 1922 before I start porting 2011.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
I am on Sprint and I can use Stocks and Footprints just fine. ???

You don't need an M9 editor to remove tabs.

Just change the edits enable to 0.

Also I would leave pirate talk off the forums.

Programs are easy to find for anyone but it isn't cool to post about it. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neroko:
I never use Footprint or Stocks so I want to remove them completey, that includes the unwanted manila files like images not used. Think of me as a clean freak, if I dont use it, junk it and give me the room. I want the settings and all the menus to look clean. And you dont need to get all upset about the pirate thing, im not giving anything out that will get me kicked off the forums and who said I was tryin to be cool, just making a point. Anyways, does anyone no anything or a old post?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rootlinux:
Try disabling the tabs and then try deleting the packages for them.

Have you tried that?

If they are set to disable where nothing looks for them then removing then should be fine.

I did not get upset at all if noticed the ;) at the end.

And yes pointing out you are a pirate does sound like a " I am cool " statement.

Maybe that is not what you meant but that is how it comes off. :)

Anyway... Try what I mentioned and see if it works.

It should not be a problem at all as far as I can tell but I have not tried it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neroko:
I understand what you are saying but im trying to build a rom with this done already. Im not one for using someone elses roms becasue they have one program i want and another i dont and it just takes up room. I like to build my own but if a upgrade comes along, i dont want to keep having to delete the files all the time. Plus the rom makes them "ROM" files so I cant delete them once there on the phone. Thank for the help but still looking for my answer. :(

P.S. if anyone is looking for 1922 with just english only, no other language (just makes it 9MB smaller and 938 folders less) just say you want them and I will share.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dharvey4651:
Hello guys I've been following this thread for a while now but due to the lack of landscape and performance issues of Sense 2.5 up until the recent release of Sense 2.5.2011, I've been sticking to Sense 2.1.

I was wondering when(if ever) we could expect an updated version of the Manila Locker for this newer version of Sense 2.5.2011's home tab?

I find it to be a very elegant solution to locking your device and prefer it over S2U2 and the built-in device lock immensely. It's by far the most interesting and useful mod I've seen for any version of Manila/Sense in a long time.

I know I'm not alone when I say that an update to this mod to support the new version of Sense 2.5 would be very much appreciated by many.

amarullz/Kisja, please respond at your earliest convenience.

Thanks in advance,

Dan.

@amarullz,

Should we use 1920 packages like SharedModule, shared_resources htc framework, sensor_sdk etc or 2011 for all your ports?

Thanks for your work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Good stuff, man. Great work. Everything looks very close to done.

I have very few things to report, though some of them might just be my own issues:

People tab scrolling in Landscape is choppy at best. Also, there's one box missing in landscape that would make the shortcut count even (not really a bug - just my OCD - pic attached - I assume the only solution to this is cut down the number of shortcuts to 12 or increase it to 24, right?)

When there's no Mail accounts on the Mail tab, in Landscape, the Text is cut off (pic attached)

When the Music tab first searches for Music, the text for "Searching" is over the picture of the music notes (pic attached)

That's really all I've found so far that's noteworthy (and barely so). Again, great work.

Now, on to a few things that would likely be mods, rather than the regular porting work:

Would it be possible to have the weather animation also work on the Home tab in Landscape, as it does on the Weather tab?

The text on the Home tab seems a bit crowded in Landscape (at least to me) - would it be possible to reduce the text size a bit, so everything fits a little better?

I have fullscreen enabled for the Photos & Videos (using kimi_sae_ireba & TMartin's modded file - pic attached of what it looks like currently) and the Music tabs for the reverse landscape view - Will those views be ported as well? After I rotate back to Portrait from being in full screen (Photos tab only), the tab is back to being WVGA :( (pic attached). The Music tab seems to fix itself after being in fullscreen mode.

That's all the feedback I have at this time, but I really like the progress on this so far :D.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
I know your question wasn't for me, but I'd recommend you use the 2011 packages for the 2011 port - that'll get you the best results.

finally got around to trying sense 2.5 2011 w/ amarullz's beta ports and WOW what a difference a few months makes. this thing is MUCH faster and smoother (and I haven't tried it CFC yet so that's saying something). thanks for your work amarullz.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
Thanks for your feedback..

Yes, there is some unported things like no message/no mail/updated music message etc yet, but I will fix everything :) just need to test it more and more so I can sure anything was ported.

About "FakeLandscape" & smaller fonts, I will not include it in original VGA porting, but will add/create mods for tweaking it. The Main VGA Port goal was Porting the manila as close as original WVGA layout. :)

Sorry for all, I can't reply all questions, but I will do more port than post for now, so please someone who "already advanced" willing to help each other questions :).

Amarullz doent neccessarily need to answer this...

justt wondering what fake landscape and what Manila Phon canvas means

okayy im not stupid i no the manila phone canvas is the dialer....but which one and what is he planning to do with it? The manilla 2011 phonecanvas was similiar to the Leo which already got ported over?

anyways i'm not complaining happy as a clam loll :)

can't wait....

just wondering when all is said and done if were gonna CFC this as well to make it even faster...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
u can try to cfc it.... actually if u add the patched dll i dont think there will be any issues.

if im not wrong there was't too many files changed in this version of manila form the previous one, just a bunch added for the landscape.

so if it worked before it should work again.

but, i could be wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
Weather tab is giving me fits. I've got everything working flawlessly with 2011 pacakges (Topaz dump, Amarullz vga beta ports), but the weather tab is always blank. I've tried my own dump from topaz, downloaded another person's dumped EXTs, but so far same result - weather tab doesn't work. Any ideas?

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
"Fake Landscape" is amarullz's affectionate term for the full screen views of the Photos & Videos and Music tab (he also made a mod for the Message tab, if you recall). Since this verison of Sense has "Real" Landscape, the fullscreen view is disabled by default. it sounds like amarullz will port the fullscreen views as well, after the main port is complete, as a mod.

RE: Manila phone canvas - I don't know what this is, but I KNOW it's going to be AWESOME :D

I'm using a CFC version. Just use cfcgui & compress it.

Does My Location just not work, or is the entire tab blank? You have to enable My Location (it's the last item in the Home tab & Weather tab Menus). It's working fine here, for both My Location, and any cities added from the database.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lunacie:
It's the entire tab that's blank. I've found the problem, though, a stray 1921 mod for the weather tab. Now the tab shows just fine. I tried enabling My Location, but don't have any 'accept' or 'decline' buttons... yikes.

EDIT:

I've managed to get My Location by enabling in Settings > Data Services tab

to those on Sprint.....I'm guessing MMS will still not work on this 2011 port and will require Arcsoft....I'm trying to remember the reg edit to enable SMS/MMS in native WM messaging.....anyone?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
PhoneCanvas

Manila Phone Canvas = Phone canvas with Manila Interface ;), So you don't need to install/include any HTC Phone Canvas. The Interface will identically represent original HTC Phone Canvas but it use manila interface (mode9+lua). Cause Manila use 3d engine, the interface will smooth&fast, It will also use "already implemented" features/library like call log, contact from manila, so the memory usage will be smaller than including HTC Phone Canvas, but offcourse the feature like Video Call still imposible (for my knowledge now) to implementated. I already created base interface and simple exe to handle the incomming call. You will have great smooth animation in slide2answer, incall & dialer UI.

Fake Landscape

It's not my affectionate term for the full screen :), It was in lua code. Fake landscape mean Manila will show it interface in landscape without do system change orientation. This method was faster than changing whole system into landscape, but other application & SIP still on portrait mode.

CFC

I am not a CFC master :D, so I can only use CFC package from others :D

Next Update

Ok, I am still intensively porting & fixing the tabs, and will upload again TEST4 on 4PM+GMT7 (when I go home). So far this day I did:

* CORE

- Fix Modal Dialog Landscape Position

* Weather

- Fix Weather Demo Layout

- Fix Update Text Position

* Mail

- Fix No Message & No Account Position

- Fix BladeList

Currently I am playing with Settings Tab!...
