Did anyone who already try 2011 in WVGA device had a problem with background?. In level 0 I can't managed to show the background (It only black background not black-gray radial gradiation).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
My background is all black on my Touch Pro2 but I prefer that anyway lol. For packages, would it be easier to resize hvga packages from the Photon??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Thanks, so I can safely exchange all the [UPDATED]-marked ones with the old correspondent? May I recycle (some? all?) 0410 folders from old packages or is it impossible? I've seen other updated packages, in the ROM dump... any idea about them? May I try and use them or is it unlikely they work for a Diamond? Please forgive me for all these questions but I'm kinda new at cooking! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] megapinky:
Hi TMartin

how do you fix it the picture tab rotate? i have an imagio, not hspl yet, so we are making a frankenstein :D

I see a lot of new packages, can you guide me what are the necesary ?

its really fast, i could boot and works :D

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omnicronx:
Not if it involves resizing any images.. You can scale down with minimal to no quality loss, but not the other way around.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
I also found it's all black in others' ROM screen shots. So maybe it's just like that.

I think resizing from HVGA would be even harder...

And amarullz, can you also make a stop clock flipping for 01:02 tweak when you release your port? Because the files are different.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
lots of the packages don't need resizing...

ill post a complete list exactly which ones i found to work fine without any resizing or just minor xml and regedit tweaks later on (without messing with the dll's)

so far i got these working fine on vga:

quick_gps.

htcframework and shared resources (thanks to the already ported xml from package 1922 by programatix) - these packages are probably most important.

menu enhancement got bigger now, but the regedit trick works... with a little bit different value though.

long press end key.

htc settings and settings improvments.

and much more that are already non resolution depended.

hope this helps someone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
A complete list would be GREATLY appreciated, thanks! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
sorry if i ask you,i'm not the first for sure. tried to solve it by myself but i had no luck. how can i cook that manila locker rc2.1 including 12quicklinks and bg4all on sense 2.5.1921? i tried to overwrite the 7c60907d_manila file with the one from the "PACK_12_QUICKLINKS_BG4ALL" folder but the background does not work after that. thanks in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
If it's not driver, you can safely use any packages you find. Some packages are hard coded to certain resolution, say WVGA. In this case, you'll need to patch them to VGA (for your Diamond). Some, like Menu Enchancement is already designed to be of any size, which requires some edit to the registry. Some can be used directly (mostly the one without UI).

Anyway, it's best to try cooking in anything that you are unsure of to see what happen, but of course, if you are worried, try adding them one by one instead of a whole bunch in case something goes wrong. If after flashing, your Diamond would not boot up, maybe you need to recmod some .dlls. This is always true for Leo's Notification Enchancement.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Thanks for the insight. To have the "final" explanation, may I ask:

.you say "driver", where exactly are those in the kitchen? You talk about OEM? May you name a couple just to clear up please?

.patching from xGA to VGA: does that involve copying over old VGA graphics in the new package and/or language folder or is it something like "open with a hex editor, then..."?

.Menu Enhancement, what regentries do I have to mod?

.If after flashing, your Diamond would not boot up, maybe you need to recmod some .dlls. This is always true for Leo's Notification Enhancement. How may I know which one to recmod and which one not?

Thanks once more, I'm finally going to understand the logic of the kitchen's folder, it still is somehow obscure! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
The only thing you have to have is the StartIconLoader that came with the Topaz dump. I haven't figured the Photos Tab out but there might be a reason for it not having the animated rotation. One of the first few posts of this thread tell you whats needed just use that as a guide for throwing in the new versions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
So any port plans of M2.5.3030XX to VGA ??

Waiting for AMARULLZ ?

Also I'm a little confused about the talks going around about a manila 2011 build ??

Whats the difference between 2011 and 3030 build ??

And do they both have official landscape for M2.5 ??

And the porting progress read some binary stuff by Amarullz ...

Has the porting been started .

Sorry a bit noobish.

Please enlighten me..

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
"TOPAZ_S2" hummm does anybody else see what im seeing???? iss thiss finalyy maybe the Topaz coming out for "S"print? maybe its version 2?????

i dnno just thinking, but man sprint is the only company to not come out with some type of non-keyboard latest version...att and tmobile all have the topaz pluss other devices HD2 tmobile for example, and verizon has the imagio which is similiar to the topaz, (if not better)...

can this finally maybe be a break (2 months to late) for us sprint users???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Just downloaded Topaz's new rom and extracted the packages. Seems like HTC is moving Leo packages to Topaz. I'll be glad to port all commonly used packages to VGA. I'll also patch any required packages to relocate properly for WM6.5 with large soft buttons. At any rate, I'll only start porting this weekend.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
It has already begun. The newest build is 2.5.2011.3030....there is no 2.5.3030
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
As kimi already commented, I don't think the new packages will require any position fix. At least the new Manila build doesn't, which is definitely a step in the right direction. So, that's less work you'll have to do ;).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Sprint is getting the Diamond2 but who nows when?? Who knows why they are waiting. Maybe they will surprise us and release Diamond2 w/ M2.5 & WM6.5 Touch Pro2 ROM w/ M2.5. Hopefully.

IDK about VGA but for WVGA you don't need a patch for the Manila.exe, it should do it by itself. Ohh and thanks for the ported packages!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
thanks for all the work man.

i already tried all the packages... and got most of them to fit just using your xmlgui tool or messing with the regedits.

htcframework and shared resources already works perfect just by using your xml's for 1922 package and ofcourse resize the images.

some of the others i just changed some sizes on the xml...

menu enhancement got bigger... so u dont really need to change anything besides the 720 values and lower it to 600 and change the # of max and min items...

as for some of the other packages... the combobox menus are also bigger... and i just can't figure out how to make those fit....

when i say combo box i mean like the dropmenus inside email settings or power settings and such... though about just trying to change the font size in the xml... but i would like to find a way to make it work with the big menus.

seems like commmanager works also... but didnt test it enough.

geo service just needed the xml value on htcgeotos_p to be changed from 800 to 640 and it works.

and i dont really remeber everything that i tried... like i said... the only issue i had was dropmenus...

maybe u can help me with that so i could help u convert all of them to vga.

thanks in advance for any help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
Thanks martin.

Really Dumb of me.

Can't really help you guys much in porting.

Just want to thank all of you.

And good luck for this project :)

cheers to all.

But one question.

This is M2.2011.3030 and it has speed+ landscape sense and leo packages?

Am i right ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
It's a Topaz build and yes it has landscape......Its very fast, like 2.1, on my Touch Pro2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
Wow really glad to hear that and very curious.

Could you please post/ PM me a couple of screens ( Landscape specially )

I saw the other devices they all are awaiting Rota to release his blaze 3.5 ROM with this version of manila ( 2.5.2011.3030 )

Please if you could share screens.

thanks Martin

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Go check out any ROM thread with Manila 2.5.1922. It looks identical.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dick Starbuck:
You guys can expect a donation from me also when the port is finished. Thank you so much for all your work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
I think S2 stands for "Stage 2", and the ROM has nothing to do with CDMA2000, is a GSM ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] avalst:
Donation already left :) to keep you going till all the other donations roll in :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
I keep getting an error when trying to dump the Topaz rom....see attached pic....when I navigate to RUU_Topaz_S2_hTC_Asia_India_de3G_WWE_2.54.1300.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44c.25.33_2.49.25.204_ESM7206A_Ship\dump\OEM\TOPA17000, the folder is empty.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amarullz:
OK The Core and Home Tab Almost finished :D + Landscape was perfect :D.

And don't need to hexedit the HomeService.dll :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dwizzy130:
Dude, that's awesome! Great job!

dwizzy130
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Awesome! Can't wait for the release! BTW, where has Kisja gone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ceesheim:
Your the man big time :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] boa19861105:
This is really great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
damnnn youuu lmaooo

thats not what i want to hear....butt ahh ya that doest sound like a better explanation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] celoni:
great you're the best..!!!we wait the realese :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i used htcrie.... but i guess that mean u need to conver them into vk packages yourself...

if that fails for u also... u probably need to re-download.

or i can just post them later on today if u'd like.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ghost_kh_07:
Thank work great!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i know this might be a dumb question... but i still need to ask just to be sure.

im assuming since there is landscape support manila takes more space... probably times and a half...

it should work just fine if we cfc it right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
dont wanna rushh things guy, but if you had to put a timeframe on it, any expected release date? lol

im just a little excited :/ sorry

anyways we deff appreciate you and everyone else here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
This is quite strange, I could dump the ROM without a problem using EVK. Try and re-download, maybe from the Skydrive links I personally provided (at least, I know that file worked for me! XD ) some posts back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
The CFC tool always works, no matter what version of Manila, just needs manual patch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
Hi,

Just to let you guys know that I've updated XmlGui to version 0.0.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
sweet, can't wait Amarullz, and of course thanks much for all your hard work along w/ everyone else contributing!

thx man....I'm redownloading....but I'd definitely be interested in the packages u have already modified, would save alot of time.....thx bro!

thx man, just downloaded.....fast DL too!

*EDIT* grrr, now I'm getting... ! C:\Temp\ppc\Topaz\RUU_Topaz_S2_hTC_Asia_India_de3G_WWE_2.54.1300.2_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44c.25.33_2.49.25.204_ESM7206A_Ship.zip.001: Unexpected end of archive

was this compressed w/ WinRAR?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Nope, did it with 7zip... shouldn't change, however. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
WOW WOW CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES.

AMARULLZ YOU ARE GENIUS AND YOU SAY THIS IS YOUR HOBBY !

I SAY APPLY FOR A HTC JOB AND EARN MILLIONS.

Take it easy, enjoy your time at home.

great job i so wish i could help you ...

but you don't need it you're a genius.

Great man.

Keep up the good work.

eagerly awaiting manila 2.5.2011.3030 VGA PORT BY AMARULLZ.

:D:D:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madnish30:
Thanks for the update sir. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] OMJ:
thx...I redownloaded & extracted via 7zip fine....VK dumped it fine too....thx again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
I'm glad... you're welcome! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
fullscreen photos and music tabs (aka fake landscape) sure are slow on build 2011 :D

i don't think these were meant to be enabled for the topaz s2. i wonder if it can be optimized somehow..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
On my Touch Pro2 the Photos & Videos Tab doesn't have the animated rotation when you turn your phone. The Music Tab does but ever since the first time I did it, it draws the bottom bar, the background is black and the portrait control buttons stay where they are.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bobzero:
Winrar has supprted 7zip since at least 3.91

They are up to 3.92 beta 1, love winrar!

also, great work on the porting guys!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
photos & videos tab has code to check to see if the device you're running is a leo. if not, it won't allow you to enable the fullscreen animated rotation. i disabled this check on mine. the music tab seems to just check the registry key for fullscreen.

i think the textures these tabs are using need to be scaled down a bit to improve performance. the landscape email tab was optimized the same way. in 1922, it used a 1024x512 texture which made flipping between emails quite sluggish. in 2011, that dimension dropped to 512x512 which improved the speed considerably.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
How can I disable that check?? You mind scaling them down for me??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
it's in the luac file 1f06dc09_manila.

EnableGSensor = function(l_21_0)
if HTCCameraAlbum_GetPlatform() ~= MANILA_PLATFORM_LEO then
return
end
...
end
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
Just completely delete that, right?? Also how might I scale those down??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
just delete the first if .. end block and leave the rest. i haven't looked at the code for image scaling yet. i'm doing a semi vga port of it (for fun) to see how it fares to 2.1 in the long run. it definately uses a bit more ram after awhile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
What if i deleted that entire section??

EDIT: Well its not good lol

EnableGSensor = function(l_21_0)
[COLOR="Red"]if[/COLOR] HTCCameraAlbum_GetPlatform() ~= MANILA_PLATFORM_LEO then
return
[COLOR="red"]end[/COLOR]
local l_21_1 = _application.Store:GetIntValue(Lifetime_Permanent, "EnableFullScreen")
gAlbumLog("EnableFullscreen: " .. tostring(l_21_1))
if l_21_1 ~= nil and l_21_1 == 0 then
return
end
if l_21_0 == true then
objMachineStatus.DeviceOrientation.OnValueChanged:connect(OnDeviceOrientationChanged)
_application.EnableGSensor = true
gAlbumLog("Enable GSensor")
else
objMachineStatus.DeviceOrientation.OnValueChanged:disconnect(OnDeviceOrientationChanged)
_application.EnableGSensor = false
gAlbumLog("Disable GSensor")
end
end

So just the two things I have highlighted in red???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
ok... so instead of me uploading packages ill just give u guys the regedits that i found that needs to be changed in some of the packages.

first of all... for htc shared resources everyone can use the old 1922 port by programatix (

Link

).

just switch to the new dll's and make sure to use his resized images and xml's. also... copy over app.reg from the 2011 packages.

since the menus are now 28 font size and not 26 u would need to make sure that some regedits are as follows:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SharedResource\PopupDialog]
"MaximalOption"=dword:00000005
"l_MaximalOption"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SharedResource\ComboBox]
"MaximalOption"=dword:00000005
"l_MaximalOption"=dword:00000003
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\SharedResource\Menu]
"MaximalOption"=dword:00000005
"l_MaximalOption"=dword:00000003

now... for menu enhancement:

u would need to have the following:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
"ItemHW"="440,600,81,82"
"ItemMidTileClickHL_LS"="560,82,103,209"
"PortraitMaxItemCount"=dword:00000006
"LandscapeMaxItemCount"=dword:00000004
"EnableVSync"=dword:00000001 (dont have to change... but the animation wont really show and you'll just get a menu....very very fast)

there are more changes that needs to be made within some of the xml files for some of the other packages... thats a little more to write and i'll upload them if no one beats me to it and after i would adjust them and test them also for landscape and not just portrait.

please feel free to help out with the porting and check out

xmlgui

to see how to (many thanks to programatix for this great tool).

the ones i got up here are probably the most important ones that we use and must have that fit to vga in order to get a fully functioning phone with access to all menus.

hope that helps and saves some time for some people.

edit: a question for programatix.... i've noticed that in some of the packages i can just make the "scene" size bigger and that makes all the "missing" items go a little upper instead of resizing the whole thing (like facebook and email settings and basically screens u can scroll in). hopefully u know what im talking about, i'm wondering if u ran into something like that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
If I understand you correctly, here's what I've noticed. Packages that are displayed as Dialog box style would not scroll (Time Picker, Date Picker, Calendar, etc). Packages that are fullscreen will scroll if the scene is made larger (height only) than the screen (AGPS, Geo, Setting Improvement, etc).

I also noticed that when the width of the packages are not resized correctly, it might slow down the display performance. Some need to be patched (Appointment Editor - Description box) but I'm not sure with the latest packages as I have not cooked them in yet. I was porting them last night and coding XmlGui :). I'm hoping that the latest release of XmlGui further improve the speed of porting the packages (with one click auto relocate all feature).

I'm going to improve XmlGui more with the following features:

Auto select all objects according to any name entered. This is important when porting packages with mixed orientation objects (FM, Audio Booster, etc)

Auto remove unrecognized xml code introduced by HTC

Any suggestion would be welcomed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teorouge:
Thanks aamikam, ported already! :D

Waiting anxiously for other XMLs or so... by the way, may I take 0410 folders inside old packages (for italian language, that is) and recycle them to new packages? Bet I should just try... XD
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Just a point, don't enable VSync, it's not suitable for our devices, just adjust AnimationRadio to 6~8.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
The one thing I definitely miss in XmlGui is an "Undo" option. I mess up once and I basically have to start over because I wasn't saving something as I was going along. For example, right now, as I'm trying to port the QuickGPS Landscape view, I accidentally pressed auto-resize and messed stuff up :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
I have an idea on how to implement undo feature, but it will take up as much RAM as the whole XML because I'm gonna need to backup the whole XML before updating it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
are u sure about that?

i know that im not an expert when it comes to the hardware... and the only reason im even figuring anything is cuz i'm good with figuring out things.

i enable that option just cuz ever since i've been using the newer menu enhancement (about 6 month's maybe a year) but i hope u know what i mean... the same format of a version... that option was always set to 1 and not 0.

i know that what u talking about would slow it down also, from past experience.

i guess i'm just asking why not and why would there be any issues? just cuz i haven't seen none.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
btw... geo in the topaz rom is older then 1922... so im using the test package... all i did was change the location of the buttons and resized the image to 480x640 (by cutting not resizing)... works like a charm.

yeah... u got me right... after cooking the new packages in i must say that everything is really faster compared to older ports... but i also ported some of the test packages before (1922) and they were also very fast compared to 1920 or older.

for landscape all we would need to do is as u said... but i've done that on almost all the packages already... i long press the send key to get the screen rotated... and all the screens are working fast.

one thing i could never get working is groupeditor, don't know y it just never seems to work for me.

but i guess i was trying to verify that it would work with all the "fullscreen" portrait packages and that im not just getting lucky.

before i used to try and resize everything to fit the screen... image by image etc. now i realize that all i need to do if something is stuck at the bottom of the screen is just make sure that the xml will tell it that the scene is bigger so it can scroll more down. i guess its a nice trick. and so far seems to not really effect the speed of scrolling.

btw... anote to all... the regedit that changed the number of shown item in a menu can be more than 5, 6 would work if u'd like... but it will reach all the way to the top or bottom... depends on the menu. i just like it when i can see the curved edges on the bottom or top of menus.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Leo has a Snapdragon, which is 1GHz and has a new graphic acceleration support, so if you enable it you will see the graphics of the menu flickering. Menu Enhancement from older devices doesn't even have that option, and it's disable in the Topaz S2 one, so the correct option for our devices is turn it off.
