I remember when installing MTP that you had to delete HKLM/software/HTC/Manila/configuration so it can rebuild.

Also you might need to delete /Windows/ManilaFull.xml.

You may also need to edit 26948339_manila file to add new session.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z80-Man:
I tried to install the Documents tab on NRGZ's 21682 build, and it just messed up Sense to death.

It was stuck at startup and never displaying.

Fortunately, WinMo was still (almost) alive, and with Arkswitch's help, I was able to access the Start Menu, disable Sense and uninstall the CAB, as Sense AND WM were really sick.

Is there any Sense 2018 compatible CAB around ? :confused:

The problem is NRGZ removed this highly useful tab from his kitchen... :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
Not tried it on NRGs latest builds, but usually if he removes it he also changes how sense accesses the sd card which is specific to how the document tab indexes everything (it has been the route of some instabilities which is why he prefers to remove it). So it might be that.

You can try adding it manually using the steps earlier in the thread, or try using the tutorial 2 in the wiki (http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=Manila_Tutorial_2) but using a sense 2018 package instead if you can find one.

Usually most problems with sense can be reversed if you restore your Tab Control File (26948339_manila) back to how it was (so keep a copy handy).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z80-Man:
Yes, so as the tabs definition doesn't contain the the new tab data anymore, it won't try to load them at statup, when rebuilding the Manilafull.xml file...

But I also suspect the indexing feature to mess up the system, even if the tab itself is disabled.

Maybe it has something to do with NRGZ's SD card access method, as you pointed out.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Z80-Man:
I think I just missed an important point : deleting the [HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration] key. :rolleyes:

I'll try again cleaning up all the mess in the registry and XML files before trying to restart Sense... :D

I found a way to delete registry keys and values using WinCE CAB Manager (at least, I should have noted down somewhere how to do it ! :D ) so if I succeed, I should be able to provide all-in-one CABs. ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User1977:
I tried the cab file. After installation in the tab settings page I can select the documents tab, the icon is also displayed there, but the documents tab don't appear in Sense. When I delete the file ManilaFull.xml, Sense don't start anymore.

Can anybody upload the ManilaFull.xml file from a ROM which has the documents tab by default? I think, when I copy this file in the windows directory, it will work.

Hi,

Tried as above with the doc + ereader cab on a stock 1.66.405.2 manilla 2.5.19211619.0. installed without any issues but you don't see either tab on the menu or the settings page for them.

Maybe 405 is later?

Have a look in HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila if the tabs aren't hidden.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User1977:
I already have done this, the document tab isn't set to hidden, isn't doesn't work anyway. I have replaced the files ManilaFull.xml and 26948339_manila with ones from a Rom with an included document tab, after this Sense didn't start anymore. I give it up now, the Cab definitely doesn't work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_Walker:
Hi,

No mention of those tabs under the registry key, the default's are there and I have stocks and footprints off which show as hidden 2, the others are all 0's.

Maybe there is some registry info needed from those cab's to make them work?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User1977:
I have imported all keys from HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila from the documents tab Rom, no effect.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve_Walker:
Looking for:

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila

Manila://docexplorer.page.hidden

I don't have that in my registry at all, there are other mentions of the doc tab and e reader but nothing like above at all.

Maybe this needs some more information exporting? Or a reg compare on a non tab/reader with one with it.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
This would be really good, just flashed Energy's latest ROM and he's removed those tabs! :(

Fingers crossed we can get them (really after the documents tab).

Ok, have more detail now. The energy rom I'm using has Manila 2.5.20121225 so not strictly what you are after but I did manage to add documents tab to his current (24thFeb) ROM. The cook, Captain_Throwback, has been helping me and building a cab file so if anyone is interested I'll post results on it.

Screens below (cab added & manually added), almost there.

Manual Files:

Sense_2.5_Footprints_eReader_Documents_WVGA.rar

Worked out what went wrong with the cab file, so hopefully have that soon.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User1977:
It really works with the new cab file? Please share it with us! That would be great! I really want to try out if it works with my German Rom, too. Did you integrated the HTC eBook Reader, too?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
I'll write out instructions for it, don't want to bother Captain_Throwback with making too many cab files. It should apply to eReader too. Be warned though, either have a decent backup of your whole system or be ready to hard reset if you have to.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User1977:
Ok, that's no problem. I just made a new backup with Sprite Backup.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
At the moment I've got files for the following:

Manila_DocumentBrowser_2_5_20113211_0

Manila_DocumentBrowser_2_5_20121225_0

Manila_eReader_2_5_20113722_0

Manila_Footprints_2_5_20111529_0

If you can find a way to extract files out of ROM's might be able to get more versions too. What version of manila are you using since ideally you want the same one (which I think why the cab above wasn't right - since I'd linked the wrong files for the cab).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User1977:
I use Manila 2.5 20121225.0, so Manila_DocumentBrowser_2_5_20121225_0 were the right one for me. Your eReader is for Manila 2011, but I whould try it anyway. I often installed cabs for Manila 2011 on my system and they work fine.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xavierdemon:
Just a quick thank you for attempting to do this guys, it has been requested numerous times but nobody seems to be up to the challenge. Good luck in getting this to work.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
Ok here goes, I'll attempt to re-create Captain_Throwback's instructions, I'll also post the cab files when they are ready.

1.Disable "HTC Sense" from the Today page (Setting>Home>Items)

Note:

2. Edit your "26948339_manila", set page order correctly, and delete "ManilaFull.xml" which will be regenerated.

3. Place all the files from the "files" directory in \\windows\ (except DocExplorer_pages.xml which goes in \\windows\ManilaXml).

4. Also place DocIndexerService.dll (file not dir) in \\windows\ too.

5. Also import the registry items from app.reg

6. Also add this registry item, to enable settings page:

I think that covers it, similar theory should apply for the other tabs (although eReader I know has other sections in ApplicationsData but this may be generated.)

BTW Language is English, I guess you could change this by changing the xml files (good luck fitting german in the same spaces as english though):

1a93e5c6_manila, 4db93f9f_manila, 4e4ebb4e_manila, 35bfc9f0_manila, 43326f20_manila, 051484a5_manila.

Well see how that goes, I only tried it with v20113211, might try v20121225 but only I've guessed I need the same files and pulled them from the ROM.

Back tomorrow.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Followed your exact steps on NRG28's Feb 24 build. I get "Tap here to Start Sense..." after some time. I'm stuck there. What am I missing? TIA.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
OK, sounds like it isn't reinitialising. Has "ManilaFull.xml" been re-generated? Also make sure the Page Order number isn't repeated in the 26948339_manila. Also you can check the registry import was ok by checking there are entries at:

HKLM>Software>HTC>DocumentExplorer

HKLM>Software>HTC>Manila>HTCService>DocIndexerService

It was NRG's 24th Feb MaxManlia rom I tested it with (using the files from Sense_2.5_Footprints_eReader_Documents_WVGA.rar), but about to try it with his latest (26th) - using the new cab file...

Ok, cab file is attached.

1. I disabed "HTC Sense" from the Today page (Setting>Home>Items), then run the cab file (obviously installing to device), reset and restarted "HTC Sense".

2. Tab already present, 1st time get no documents found, so went to Personalize>Home Screen Tabs & also Settings Tab>Data Services>Documents (didn't change anything so might just need time/tab change). Documents are found this time, get large PDF icons just like the 2nd screenshot here.

OK will test for a bit, haven't got previews coming up yet, but last time it took a while to do it, so don't panic. Plus it isn't responding when you go into All Documents, but again this just may take a little time to sort its self out, will probably soft-reset in a bit and retry.

Testing1: Previews come up once you've opened the document once. Still doesn't respond when in All Documents, so will check the files and report back.

Fixed: I think the problem is a file missing/not updated when the cab is run. However, had a quick look at the windows directory and checked some of the files but couldn't see any non-manila files missing (but that was what the problem was when I did it 1st time round, someone can do a diff on the directories). Since I'm using Manila 2.5.20121225 in my ROM, I thought I'd try using the files I got out of an old rom (attached) - since the cab has done the reg changes etc already and simply copied them into windows (replaced all, except anything which is in the rom itself - just the font's anyway). It would probably work using the original files from Sense_2.5_Footprints_eReader_Documents_WVGA.rar, but I've included mine here anyway. Will test for a bit longer but it seems ok so far.

Also anyone know if the eReader tab can support .lit files. It didn't find any when I used it before, but I haven't got around to installing MS Reader by that point.

Also I'll see if I can find a decent cab file creator I can package it all up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
My bad, I made a typo in "26948339_manila". I fixed that now. The tab comes up, but display 9999/9999 and "Loading". The LSK & RSK in that tab don't work. I tried going to Settings->Data Services->Documents. This is empty and I have an RSK saying "Menu", but it is not working..

Will try with the files you posted. I'm on Sense 2.5.2012 (I'm on NRGZ28's latest build. Also tried b16b's biuld)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShade001:
I just wanted to report my success with your docs tab. First of all THANKS! I really appreciate your work on this. I just installed it a little bit ago so i will report back if i run into any probs.

I am on EnergyRom FEB 26 23xxx Cookie. I installed the 2.5 version of the doc tab and so far i have no problems to report. All of my documents appear and i see no performance loss as far as speed. My All Documents is working too - i think i read that it wasn't working? It is for me.

So far it is completely functional and i wouldnt have known it wasn't cooked in if i hadn't installed it myself.

THANKS!

Did you just install the cab? I installed it and I get the doc tab, but it says: "SD Card is Full or Missing"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheShade001:
I installed it a couple of hours ago. I had to disable and re-ebable sense even after disabling/re-enabling during intall. I haven't had a problem with my sd card being recognized.

Just to make some sort of change, like the post suggested, i went to the settings tab>data services>documents and selected mail documents. Then i went back and selected all documents.

Once i did that, my screen got overlayed with the black alpha bg (like when you are sliding) and it wouldn't go away. I disabled sense, re-enabled it, soft reset to be sure and i haven't had a problem with it sense.

It is picking up docs from my email and my sd card at the moment.

Confirmed that the cab works. Good show!. Fresh 23541/Sense 2.5.2012 build from b16b and slapped ur cab on and magic.. Works perfectly. Then verified the files with the rar you had. Everything looks good. Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aaron McCarthy:
You guys (and anyone reading this who does not have their rom/phone info in their signature) should update your signatures so we can see what rom(s) you are running on your phone. It would make things a hell of alot easier for everyone to avoid certain issues that you guys have had. Yes alot of what is done in these forums is done by trial and error. However no sense in 100 people making the EXACT same mistake!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
Ok lets see if we can sort these out.

The doc tab uses the SD card for the indexing, creates "Application Data\HTC\ and then "databases","EmailAttachment","ImageCache","ParserCache" about 36Mb I would assume its location is either defined in the registry or those xml files I listed a while back. Obviously you have space...but is your SD Card called "Storage Card" on your device. Otherwise, perhaps it having issues creating/over-writing those folders.

I've had that during my initial testing, for me it was because the .dll wasn't in the windows folder, so it's the indexer not running.

Glad it is working ok now.

I had freezing in "All Documents" until I over-wrote the files with ones from the rar. Also it took a while to complete indexing & a soft-restart or two.

For for uninstalling issue, I'm guessing you either have no "26948339_manila" file anymore (I hope the uninstall didn't remove it - I think it is regenerated with the defaults if deleted anyway) or it is still referencing the document tab inside. If it has gone, try using one from the rar file and deleting the document tab part (plus reorder the page order numbers) or try my old "26948339_manila" file without the document tab (note my old one doesn't have eReader or Footprints either). Once the "26948339_manila" file is fixed it should ignore anything else to do with the document tab.

Edit:Also delete (or rename) your manilafull.xml file this will allow it to regenerate the tabs.

I 2nd this. ROM details including windows build (Settings>System->About) (Build 23541.5.5.0) the Manila version number (Settings>System>DeviceInformation>SoftwareInformation>ManilaVersion) 2.5.20121225.0. Thanks.

I know I don't need to say it but, make backups etc if you aren't happy to hard-rest when things go wrong. Fortunately, you are most likely only to mess up manila and not the device, in which case it is fixable.

Also found this, so that might work (although clearly I'm NOT going to test it!)

Let me know if the cab worked without any other changes or if it needed the files being over-written, and I'll investigate what's missing. Note the cab file is using my "26948339_manila" file so if you have footprints or eReader already you'll have to backup yours and edit it after using the cab.

Also I'll pass on your thanks to Captain_Throwback who helped me with this.

I have a German Rom on my device with the operating system 5.2.21889.5.0.87 and Manila 2.5.20121225.0. I installed the cab file from post #40 and the document tab appeared and also worked correctly. But in the whole tab there is no text showing correctly. Instead of "Recent Documents" there is "IDS_TITLE", also the menus show "IDS_ALLDOCUMENTS", "IDS_SEARCH", "IDS_SETTINGS" etc.

EDIT: I also had to install the cab file from post #16, than I got all titles correctly in German!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
Think that is down to how manila handles different languages, those are defines which should be set somewhere. For some reason I can't do a find text in file search on these files or I'd find them Contained within DocExplorer_pages.xml which should have been placed in \Windows\ManilaXml. However, looking into other versions of the "26948339_manila" file, some have them defined here!

Here's an example of a call history one (text in bold is at the end of the current file):

So use similar syntax to define the values...it might work...i.e.

SimpleDialog Name="documentexplorer" PackageName="HTC"> or SimpleDialog Name="documentexplorer.dialog" PackageName="HTC">?

DialogItem Name="Recent Documents" Title="[[IDS_DOCUMENTSTITLE]]"> etc

EDIT:Apparently solved by using the cab file (info left up just in case it's useful)

Contained within DocExplorer_pages.xml which should have been placed in \Windows\ManilaXml!!!

BACKUP the "26948339_manila" 1st!!!

Why call history, you say? :D Not telling...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
Nope! :D (Only because I haven't done it yet).

Unfortunately, I didn't pull the files off the ROM with 20121225 manila which had all the tabs, but the others in the rar file may work. Also I didn't grab the 26948339_manila file, which you need to edit in the right info.

If people do need this, I may look into getting a ROM kitchen or find a way to open up the *.nbh rom files (if you can). But not doing it yet (unless someone tells me how *hint search&post*).

Also, personally I can't quite work out a decent use for the footprint tab...

Comms Tab anyone????

Far too many posts today (so sorry!)

Interesting one this, found a comms tab for Manila 2.1 so applied a little logic that it must use the same rules and here we are!

As far as I know, it's not been done on Manila 2.5 before...

...well the switches don't work, but the menu items do so will post if I get them working. Kinda read-only view, since the switches update when changed from else where...

Edit: Experimenting with using the settings tab in here, results is below, not what I wanted but interesting it worked (If anyone wants this as a tab I'll save the files....I'm gonna call it "enable/disable tab" tab).

I *might* have a call history tab soon...

The Doc-Tab doesn't has a title as "Recent Documents". Is this normal or only because I use a German Manila? How can I fix this?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
1st make sure you have DocExplorer_pages.xml in \Windows\ManilaXml. Alternatively, I think you can force it by replacing the following in the 26948339_manila file:

Title="[[IDS_DOCUMENTSTITLE]]"

with:

Title="[[Recent Documents]]"

The rest ok?

Don't forget to delete ManilaFull.xml or it won't re-generate the page. Check in

ManilaFull.xml and see if it is generated correctly there (you might even get away with changing it directly there instead).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] User1977:
I deleted the file and did a soft reset, the tab doesn't have a title anyway. That seems to be a very dogged problem. :-( But it's not the end of the world, apart from this the documents tab works great.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meltwater:
Ok, I expect it is because of the language thing, probably an extra file for translation (perhaps 090661f7_manila) but I guess it is not a major problem. Still learning how it pieces together at the moment, unfortunately most is referring to references within binary files which is a pain.
