ok.. here is Manila_Settings_2_5_20133333_1 ported.

again.... for loc files u can use the old ones... what i have up is only en-en.

im sorry that im taking so long... but i basically d/l all the past month roms and find the newest packages and then i port them using amarluz as a refrence only i take out a bunch of unneeded checks from the lua code and useless references.

also, every packages i upload would have more optimized png sizes in them to improve speed a little more.

if anyone is wondering what im using to compress the images im using 2 programs.. but the one that everyone can use is this:

http://www.smu****.com/ysmush.it/

also... as a tip to everyone... all packages from htc that uses .bmp files as images don't really have to be bmps.

u guys can convert those images to pngs, make the png file smaller using any tool u know of or the website i put up here and then just rename the files to .bmp back again.

it's pretty sweet... u end up saving about 10mb of space not to mention that u get a file that is about 1%-10% of the original one. which translates into a much much faster loading of things on the device.

i think S.V.I wrote something about it a while back... but he's method is to actually create images yourself... which works even better then what im suggesting... but for all of us who dont want to go through creating about 500 images ourselves... try out my suggestion.

i know HTCAlbum bmp files must stay bmp's... but just about everything else can be converted to png's, even TaskBarIconsMgr and the Dialer bmps files are ok to convert to png.

also like i said before... i suggest to do so on all manila files also since it will really help u save time and speed up the sys a little more.

just so u guys won't have to rename every file manually here is a link to a nice util that will do it for u:

Bahhahahahahahaha agree so much lol ! .

Hey guys just saw this thread after long lots of development after 2012 i see..........

Please tell me if you wan me to edit my guide on the first page/add /remove anything i'll be happy to do it : )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
If you are using original packages from HTC, all Manila packages are already multilingual.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
thanks a lot for another optimized package! i have an extra request: could it be possible to make a little mod to the "Applications" option? after tapping on it you have another level where to select between "uninstall programs" and "installation history" or something similar (i use italian language). the install history does not work and i think it never worked..could it be possible to remove it and shift "uninstall programs" one level up to simply load when tapping on "applications"? like in windows "add/remove programs". hope i explained what i mean,excuse me if it's a stupid request and sorry for my english. ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
It's "Managed programs" as in Settings->System.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
yes,that's it exactly. i was thinking about linking it to the "applications" function in sense settings tab root. it opens a submenu with two options but only one of them actually works,so the submenu is not really needed. i'll try to investigate a little more with it when i'll be back home.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] programatix:
HTC designed the Settings tab to replace Start->Settings, meaning everything that can be found in Start->Settings can be found in the Settings tab. Which ever objects in Start->Settings that are not represented in the Settings tab will be placed in "Other" in Settings tab. If we are to remove the Managed Programs, we must somehow find a way to add it in "Other". Though it is not important, some people disable Start->Setting and use the Settings tab instead.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
thanks a lot for the explanation :) that's the scheme of what i mean:

original situation

my idea..

just removing what's not needed and having a faster access to applications uninstall. i don't think it should be very hard to to,am i right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i know it is.... but i take all the files out and leave en-en in... i even take out the en-gb (british-english).

for example... in manila people there are like 300 loc files... why cook all of them if im only going to use english.

and u guys already have all the loc files from previous packages... im kinda going a little lazy on moving those multilang manila xml files to diff packages... but thats because 99.99% of loc files are always the same in each package.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
The reason "Managed Programs" doesn't work is because you must be using a Dummy FWUPDATE package when cooking the ROM to replace the FWUPDATE package in the SYS. When replacing that package, the "Managed Programs" Settings applet is removed. That button actually works in my ROM because I leave the original FWUPDATE in my ROM (only for this purpose).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
really...

thats a nice piece of info... thanks.

i thought i read somewhere that it is better to cook a dummy fwupdate and a dummy sqm.

just as a general question... do u think it would make a difference if i would use the ones that actually comes with the sys... or leaving the dummy should be just as good?

what do u think is better?

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
SQM is the Customer Satisfication thing that pops up that we don't need or use. Using the dummy version that removes that annoying prompt and saves some space. More on that here.

The FWUPDATE packages relates to the Image Update system, which is not currently functional on cooked ROMs. As CRACING's post here indicates, there's a bit of size savings using the dummy package. But it also, of course, removes the "Managed Programs" applet, and breaks the link under "Applications" in Sense. So it's a tradeoff most chefs are willing to accept until someone figures out how to remove 'extra' items from the Settings pages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
ok... gotya...

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
here is Manila_Calendar_2_5_20142522_0 ported.

format is in the usual way...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
wow 2014 packages?? where you getting 2014 packages?

before i move off to the EVO in a couple months (unless the trophy comes out) i wanna hopefully run sense 2.5 2015 on there for a couple weeks. i got sick of it and running SPB MS which isnt bad at all.

love and appreciate what you do....you would imagine that 2015 must be coming out extremely soon since it was mentioned a week ago.

Question is if its an operator pakage most likely we wont port it over huh?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
thanks for this one too,will cook'em all this evening,let's see how they go :)

did someone manage to fix the landscape mode of the internet tab with amarullz' 3 quicklinks mod? it's ok in portrait but the landscape is mis-aligned
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i dont think manila 2015 will come out soon... just because i've been over abour 20 diff roms from the past month... topaz, rhodium, and leo roms... from many diff languages also...

i didnt see anything new... most of them has old packages being used like 1920...

the newest ones are 2014(but really just a few of them and only for the most part only in test roms), the newest non test packages i saw are 2013 and nothing more... so... since everyone is still using 2012 builds and lower... im not sure it will go higher so soon.

btw... for anyone else who is trying to port or tryout packages... just in case u don't know... it is safe to use diff languages pakcges cuz sense comes with all the loc files in the package... the only thing that might cause issues is the dll files that could be lang specific somehow...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i didnt even know that his mode worked for the newer port...

ill look at the landsacpe thing for u...

but it does make sense that it will get messed up in landscape since manila 1920-1922 didnt have landscape... so it doesn't even look for the bigger size images.

btw... u should wait a little longer... im uploading more today... so give it a little more time...

the only packages im not gonna touch are stock and twitter.... i dont see the point.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
3gin.net has Leo 1.80 ROM leak which includes Manila 2.5.2015 but it hasn't been made public yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
nice... i didnt know that...

do u know which packages are 2015?

maybe i should stop what im doing and wait for that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TMartin:
I don't know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
thanks for looking into that,will be useful for many people for sure. i tried to decompile the original 2012 files and the 1921 mod ones to compare them but they look completely different. my idea was to try making the portrait mode like with 1921 mod (3 small quicklinks in a row) and the landscape like it actually is (2 big quicklinks in a row) but i'm not good at lua/mode9 :(

about the stocks tab and twitter tab i'm with you! no need to update them. only thing i miss a little is the twitter one that works 50% only listing the tweets but if i tap on a single tweet nothing happens. it's a wm6.1 limitation if i didn't read wrong somewhere. don't know it that was solved yet,but i doubt about it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
@aamikam:

your settings tab is good,feels slightly smoother than the "classic" one. just one small thing..the dotted lines between functions are missing..is there some mis-alignment? maybe a pixel or two..it looks a little strange without the separators. you can barely see them somewhere,but in some lines they're completely missing. here's 2 screenshots

old 2012 --> new 2013

and about the calendar,the text is a little bigger now (personally i preferred the smaller one but the bigger one is ok too). and the line separators are strange too. they were missing somewhere first too,but now they're a little different. didn't have a screenshot of the older one to compare..only landscape but it's quite the same situation

old 2011 --> new 2014

i know it's only aesthetics,as functionality is perfect. but if we could mix up both of them that would be perfect :) thanks for your effort!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
ok... i see what u saying...

as far as the settings tab... the line is there... and in the right place... but i do agree it is less clear... but its only the inage file issue not the alignment in the lua code.

something might have done it to the image since i did shrink it down as much as i can... so it makes sense the quality is a little lower... u can always change it yourself if u really want to.

as far as the calendar... i like the bigger font... but that was a default on it... so i didnt change it. and in my rom which is completely skinned my way, it looks clearer than on yours...

cfc tool work wonders...

there is only one lua script for that port that was changed... so u can look in it yourself if u wanna change it.. this lua coded is pretty self-explanatory.

i do have the issue with it being a little low in landscape... but i think it was the same in previous port... ill look into it though.

as far as the internet tab thing... its a mode9 that needs changing also... so this is where it starts to be a little nightmare since mode9 files are not as obvious to me as lua code.

im getting an EVO in like 4 days... so im gonna stop porting things since i still need to put out a final version of my rom to my rom users.

i can upload all the packges that im using if u want... they r still probably the newest ones there is around here...

i tried playing with manila weather 2013... but not too much luck... the new code lua code on that is so much more complicated than the 2012 its crazy.

it seems like they cut a bunch of files down and instead of calling diff files and functions to find values they put them all into one file.

well not all the functions... but in some packages the lua code became really really long... which is kinda crazy... cut function names changed and a bunch more.

i think for 2015 a lot of the old amarluz work wont fit too much and might not be a "perfect" reference point as it is now. there would be a need to port over atleast a few packages. im talking out of my experience with manila weather 2013... which looks different.

anyways... ill try to fix the calendar.. if u want the packages that im using om me... cuz they are a mess and i really dont feel like organizing them... also.. i mixed a lot of old with new and such for my rom (like new .dll but old manila and such... just as an example).

and i still didnt take a good look at the internet tab... and i will soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
here is the fixed file for calendar... to fix the landscape position like u showed in the pic... now its ok... just a tiny value change from 3 to 1.6 made it fit perfect.

i feel like an idiot for not seeing it before... but than again i dont really care much a bout landscape cuz i have a diamond not a tp.

im assuming u know what to do... i think the old cal had issues with this also... this should also fix the older cal package issues if there were any.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
here are the png images to make the seperator line thicker in manila settings 2013... just if anyone wants its...

these are the png images all u need to do is use cfc to port them.

the name of the image files are the same as the manila files.

the images are size reduced...

u guys can also edit it to be thicker than it is.. i just made it x2 the original way it comes but u can size it up to x4 (maybe more if u want to make the whole image bigger).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
i ran into something funny right now...

i guess i made the images so smalll the cfc compression actually makes them bigger...

i find that so funny.

anyways... if u guys are using my method to shrink the image files.... please pay attention that some file that will get cfc compressed are actually become bigger...

about 150% bigger than what i got them to be.

i dont understand it at all but i guess it happens.

anyways... from my exp... images files that are not cfc compressed can be used in a cfc'd manila... so i would def would recommend to not cfc compress all files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
thanks a lot for the fixes..but it looks like there's still a pixel overlapping or a small mis-alignment between the grid lines. some are grey,some black. it's not you,i think it has always been this way,it's not very important and probably nobody wanted to spend time fixing it. what's the manila file to play with? i should try to do it by myself when i find some time. another one,now your fix breaks also the "red sundays" mod but it should be quite easy to do comparing the old file with the new one. i'll try to fix it too :)

btw here's the result:

and about the dot line separators,i tried your PNGs. now they're a little bigger but a strange thing happens..the lines are ok but when scrolling down they become thinner..and then they disappear. look at those screenshots! quite curious!

btw i'd be glad to put my hands on those packages you talked about,thanks again for your help. and wow,EVO sounds very good :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SuperVirusQ:
Thank you aamikam for your great work.

I'm using Manila Core 2013 and all those ported papackages you've uploaded now.

I think the speed is slightly faster than 2012 packages I used before.

Can't wait to see the performance of 2015.

Well, I hope it can still run on our VGA devices.

Thanks again.

Cheers~
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
mmm.... for me it looks diff for the calendar in portrait... it seems like yours is a little off.... mine sits perfect.

anyways... edit the manila file i uploaded... u will see this line

CalendarConsts.MonthView_SelectorDY_L = 1.5999908447265625

change the value to 1.5 or lower... so it will go higher... cuz i think it's still not sitting good for u.

for the font size this line should do it:

CalendarConsts.MonthView_Week_Font_Size = 18

just change to smaller or what ever.

as far as the line goes... im not sure... but i kinda made mine more transparent... so i dont notice it.

u could try those lines maybe:

CalendarConsts.WeekView_LineDX = 5.1999969482421875

CalendarConsts.WeekView_LineDY = 4

and anything that has to do with "....Line....".

u could also change your colors...

you should see the lines that effect colors.... this lua file is very self explanatory.

if u put back the older mode u used your miss alignment will come back!

for the settings... u can try to make the png file a little more bright... maybe that will do it. there is also an option that in the lua code it is meant to be more transparent... i didn't look.

sense 2015 was out from leo 1.80 Korea shipped rom,and someone told me 2016 will come from leo 2.13 CHT(Taiwan) shipped rom soon!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
did someone already grab the leo korea shipped rom? i only found a few 2015 ext packages..

found both 1.80/3.01..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
@aamikam: i'm having problems with your calendar 2014. can you please check if it's ok for you? when i go to week view and rotate in landscape,the view is messed up and from there it does not go back,soft keys don't work anymore..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
here's two EXT folders dump from latest 1.80 and 3.01 leo roms.

LEO_External_Packages_1.80.7z 65.82 MB

LEO_External_Packages_3.01.7z 75.65 MB

1.80 has 2015 core but older tabs

3.01 has 2014 core and almost all 2014 tabs too

good luck with 'em :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] aamikam:
sorry for just now responding... i was stuck at android land for the last few days trying to hook up my EVO with goodies.

anyways.. there are new packages by now for manila... im out of the game for anything to do with it...

the calendar issue u mentioned doesn't happen to me and all of my rom users didnt mention anything about it... so im assuming its all since its been at least a week with no one finding issues with it.

if u installed something... like the color calendar im sure thats what did it.

anyways... i know it might be a little late but im putting up all of my manila and htc packages that im used in my last rom.... my htc packages are

skinned

, all besides manila... so u might wanna change up colors if u want.

just as an FYI to everyone... usually to make an htc package work (and i mean even the new 2015, or 2016 in the future), all u would need to do is switch the .xml files that are in my packages and u have a ported to vga 2015 package.

now.. there are a few packages like MenuEnhancement and SharedResources that would need regedits tweaking.

u can always compare with my packages and most likely the changes i made would be the ones that u would need to do also.

please note that im talking about wm6.5... for 6.5.x there might be a few more things youll need to change.

also... notice image sizes... sometime xml's are not enough and u would need to resize the image (usually landscape images and backgrounds) but most of the time it just the xml is enough.

i hope my reply to u will help u port some of the new htc packages for yourself and maybe a few more people who are wondering how to do it.

goodluck.

here is a link to the packages im using: (mostly 2014)

http://hotfile.com/dl/46975659/f89393f/Packages.7z.html

edit:

sorry.... forgot to say the the images in those packages are not optimized...

the reason for that is that what i basically do to make sure i save some space and get more speed in my rom is this:

after i cook in vk i go to the temp\dump folder in vk

and do the following:

1) make sure to sort the folder by type.

2) select all *.png images and copy them to a diff folder.

3) go to this website: smu****

4) use that website to modify all images... just upload it and such.

5) make sure those files will be cooked last in the rom to overwrite other images... which im sure everyone knows how to do.

Hi aamikam,

Thanks for great sharing :D:D

Are those packages WVGA?

The Leo 1.8 has a lot of CRC errors... downloaded it 2 times and tried with both WinRAR and 7zip =(

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kimi_sae_ireba:
has anyone tried the (unported) sense 2015 (particularly the people tab) on a vga device? i was told that my people messaging mod doesn't work on it. if i use 2015 as a base, there's a chance it won't be backwards compatible with 2012. the worst case scenario is for me to vga port the entire tab.

i got an Evo recently, so android has been keeping me pretty occupied. i haven't forgotten about you guys though ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
not yet,but i'll do it soon. will post here about it,if nobody does it first.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
yes,they're leo packages so wvga.

If you are talking about 2015, I just cooked manila on my omnia 2... sense is all messed up the changing tab bar does not appear... (I think that it has something to do with the CRC error I talked above - even if the errors were not on manila's tabs and I didn't use all of them) but it starts...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
forget about 2014/2015 packages and mixing and matching....2015 core with 2016 home etc just got released by a new phone called the oboe....its an unbranded rom...this is what we want to start porting for. This might just give us our phone a good extra couple months.

htc messaging is updated to 2016 now...im almost willing to bet all those freezing problems have to be fixed by now..

and on top of that a new updated rom of the VGA Tachi was just released....i already checked the folders and theres some 2015 packages in there which might be beneficial to us.

not trying to create any confusion...but we should start porting over everything to 2016 and update the front page to reduce confusion...i cant imagine much manilla 2016 porting is needed either....our old ports might work.

at this point theres no reason why every single one of our VGA packages cant run at least 2015/2016

in the tachi rom we have a native VGA Dialer

Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_4_1_50020152823_0

although not the newest, to have a native vga phonecanvas might not be a bad backup option...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cnzqy1:
Well, Tachi Phone Canvas can't be used directly, that's the drawback.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] etoy:
if 2016 is similar to 2015 then i think there will be some porting needed,actually 2015 core comes out in a messed up home without slider and some random writings..i made just a fast try without making more tests,but at least the 2014 starticonloader works. i think there are a lot of improvements in 2015,it feels a lot smoother from what i've seen. 2014 is just an updated version of the "classic" 2012,not many substantial differences between that and older versions.. (maybe i'm wrong,that's just my early impressions with new packages)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hasseye:
what actually needs porting?
