TUT Manila Tutorial 3 - Modifying Existing Tabs (Custom Call History Tab)

This tutorial will dig deeper into the existing manila files and hopefully demonstrate how to edit and change the basic functionality of manila tabs.

For this tutorial, we will attempt to change the behaviour of pre-built Call History Tab created by utopykzebulon.

Thanks to utopykzebulon for permission to use the Call History Addon.

I've attached the files used for this tutorial since utopykzebulon may decide to update the tab later on (taken from 2nd post of his thread 15 March 2010).

Many thanks,

Very Good "Tutorials", I will look forward esp "To Do Items" .

Regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I'm glad someone likes em, I've tried to keep the level of them fairly high otherwise the useful information gets lost in the "Click Button A" here and select this menu here... I hope that it makes sense, the aim is to focus on the manila stuff rather than the toolset (which have manuals/threads and will also change over time).

Big question, do they make any sense?

Out of interest, which of the To Do Items in particular?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] true2you:
wow seems quite perfect for a tutorial!!! thank you!!!

but i have one noob question:

do you think that there's a way to obtain a cab for that in the end of all the procedures here, i mean i have already managed to make a couple of cabs (for example, i've already made some 2.5 sliders) but by that i mean i have always included simple files in them and nothing else, like key entries or values.. so i'd like to know if it is possible, because if it is, i'll start to work on that immediately.

I'm asking because i'm using the official sense 2.5 for rhodium ROM and i'd like to ad the e-reader + the documents tab in it

Plus, about the call history, do you know if there's a way to replace the telephone softkey on the home tab with call history, instead of adding an extra tab for it, because the actual button says telephone and, uhh the hardware call button does the exact same job...

AND ALSO, I APOLOGIZE for my bad english if it is (first language is french)

+ for beeing too noob for this thread

+ for asking things in the wrong place if it is the case

And again thank you very much for this wonderful TUT
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Thanks. Yet to look into CFC, but when I re-flash my rom I'll need to, such is the way.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
+ english is my only language so your bad english is welcome

+ thread is for beginners, so all are welcome

+ never the wrong place if someone knows the answers.

1. Cab's (for the tutorials?) yes it is possible, but they take time to do, plus the extra issue is each Tab Control file (i.e. 26948339_manila) will be different for each combination of tabs you have.

2. It is easy to add reg entries to cabs, although depends what you use to create them. Not done it myself but usually app.reg (text file) with the following sort of thing:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Facebook.LaunchAppSel"=dword:1
"Facebook.LaunchAppName0"="MS Facebook App"

Can't offer more info on cabs, since I've not made any yet.

3. Softkey, that should be defined in the registry somewhere, depends on your version of home page, cookie/manilaMax etc. Don't know it off hand, but definitely on the forums.

Manila 2.0?

Does it work for Manila 2.0?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Do you mean the docs tab?

Simple answer is I don't know without trying it (but I don't have 2.0). I would expect that it could use 2.5 specific stuff, if you are careful to take backups you can probably try. Unfortunately I'm only learning about manila 2.5 since that is what I'm using, I don't know how they will differ. The principles are similar but it won't be exactly the same.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] prasadedla:
Manila 2.5 is TouchFlo 3D while 2.0 is 2D. I searched my phone and couldn't find any of the XML files mentioned in the tutorial. I really want to customize my Manila. Please help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
If it is that different then unfortunately I can't help. I'm only learning how to do manila 2.5 since I have it on my phone and I can experiment with it (the tutorials are written from my own trial and error (mainly error!)). Hopefully somewhere manila 2.0 has been explained, try looking for some threads about cooking ROMs using manila 2.0.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] kwanice:
thanks for your post and tuto :)

do you think it's possible to add a tab and activate a plugin from homescreen like pocket breeze or else?

i've tried a lot of program and all have some errors..i think by this way it's better..

Thanks !
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Don't know pocket breeze, so might not understand what you mean.

There is a today plugin tab somewhere. But unfortunately, I'm fairly sure you can't just make an app to appear inside a tab.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
an update to your question...

I'm going to work on a custom manila interface tab, which should allow applications to easily use manila, if only on a basic level. This should open up the number of applications which can directly interface and hopefully provide some useful new tabs/page.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Remco-:
Well done on your tutorials!

I had slight hopes it would solve my Documents Tab problem, but unfortunately it keeps telling me SD Card Full or Missing. It does seem to create database and cache folders on it and a 'flintlock' file.

The TAB was already cooked in, but 'disabled' (registry value was renamed from .dll to .bak)

I tried your tutorial and cab installer, neither worked.

Multiple SD-Cards (1GB and 4GB) and multiple full and quick FAT32 formats...

Any suggestions?

Captain_throwback had a theory on this:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5787124&postcount=93

I don't know what would happen if you use cachefilt.dll, I'll post it on that thread if you like and see if it solves the issue. Ok, can't get it off my device, Hidden, System, Rom file - will post it if I can get to it. Stubborn thing, totally inaccessible and can't even find it on an extracted ROM.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Remco-:
omg, I love you!

I did read that thread as well before I posted in this one, but I couldn't find cachefilt.dll anywhere. After playing around a bit I found that the problem wasn't that I needed cachefilt.dll, because apparently it's already there (eventhough I can't find it because it's hidden/system/whatever), but all I needed was to add the filter to the registry!

This is all I had to add to the registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Filters\CacheFilt]

"Dll"="CacheFilt.dll"

"Order"=dword:12

I have a working Document Tab now ^^

Thanks for leading me into the right direction!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Superb! Glad you've got it going, I think it's a dead handy tab, although I admit I've not used it since I've installed it but that's only because I've not been reading ebooks for a bit (mine are in pdf).

hi and thanks

its a great thread many tanx

i want to know that is it possible to use manila for phones that they dont have touch flow for example O2 zinc?

is it working?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
I'm not sure, I suppose if it runs windows mobile 6.5 and have enough power it probably can, I've not tried though (have a look someone may have cooked a rom with it in - performance is always better that way anyway).

You want the manila hash exe from the command line kitchen, linked on the 1st post here. Only on my phone at the moment so dont know the full paths you'll need for the names (was on the Wiki); might be on the doc tab thread. Will give you more detail after weekend if needed.

please help with generating hash names

i've followed this thread and rat's, and co0kiemonster's thread and neither approach works for me.

that means 'i'm reading something wrongly!'

here's what's going on:

i've made a sweep hand for a clock. i named it weekdayHand.png. i've followed rat's instructions for using manilaHASH.exe and get 3 different hash results.

what is the correct entry in the input box for the "manila file path"?

i've tried \windows htc\home\assets\images\Home\VGA\weekdayHand.qtc and get DB83083_manila. the author stated that leading zero's are necessary if the hash name is less than 8, so the name is 0DB83083_manila. but that makes my clock fail. the clock works fine until i try to add this sweep hand.

have i done this correctly as far as the hash naming process goes?

thanks very much for any help you can provide!

marvin
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Sounds about right, assuming you have the path correct (sorry but not done that mod myself, but it looks right). Have you tried replacing your file with another existing qtc file but renamed, it may be that your file isn't the right format rather than the filename being wrong.

Otherwise, someone who's done this mod will hopefully put you right.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mncessna:
could you give me a tip

thanks for your response. i was wondering if you knew if the following was correct:

let's say i want to name the new sweep hand...sweephand.

when i run the manilaHASH.exe program, the manila name box already has

\windows\ in it. so i add sweephand.qtc to it, press the "get manila" button and the results are: 2C42AE7D_manila.

the PROBLEM is this. when i tried using names that Rat_2566 used in his gold Tourbillon clock, like "moonphase", i get a different manila name than he does???

his name is: 2C2AA9E8_manila. i tried dozens of variations with moonphase and can not get that manila name from the program????

any idea?

thanks again,

marvin
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
The path does not relate to where it is on your device, it is a imaginary or virtual path internal to sense, so you need the full path to create the name as they are often referred to in scripts relative to the script.

You will need to know the path he is using and where it is referenced (if you change the name). Unfortunately, the other tutorials aren't transferred yet, they explain some of it.

colossus_r has a thread on manila names, I've not read it through but he's done a good bit with the file names from a user point of view so hopefully explains it there.

WOW! thanks, great pointer

that helped quite a lot. i may actually make some progress now!:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
No problem. Sense is a pig to work with but once you get past the initial concepts you can achive a lot. Another tip is to keep a copy of all the manila files decompiled then you can search for similar chunks of code & examples.

Glad you are getting somewhere now, lots of helpful people who know a lot & will help.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] rat_2665:
In the second post of my thread I attached a pdf with all the manila names and the full path for the manila hash program. It is sometimes painful. You have to look for spaces, backslashes and so on. I looked sometimes at a nonfunctional clock because of this. The issue with the too small hash values also happened to me, but you found already the solution.

@meltwater

In post 2 to 5 of my thread I described modding of the analog clocks for CHT. Maybe it is interesting for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Hey great tip!

I've not come across anything quite like lua so I've mainly stuck to what I can find in the rest of the decompiled files to do things, so that method will come in useful.

No never quit the hardware around to play with just gets better and better.

I've updated the 1st post links to point to your's, rat_2665's and colossus_r's info. Thanks. [Corrected to mncessna for the switch statement]

HTC HD2 blank white screen with Vio motion detect.

Hallo!

I used this wonderful program with my Xperia X1. I changed my phone into a HTC HD2 because of the larger display, now I trie to install my favorite programs. I installed the VIO latest version into main memory, changed the default pic. folder into the memory card.

The program seems operatable, I can see it in the Task manager too, but I cant see the picture of the camera, only a white blank screen on the display. The size of this blank screen depends of the resolution of the VIO-s settings menu.

I tried to set the cameras resolution in the camera menu into the same, like VIO (the only one which is the same is 640x384). No changes, the white blank screen is visible.

Please help me!

At the moment the old wiki is not even accessible for transferring to the new wiki, fortunately I've managed to pull the old files from google, although the "GUIDE Manila Files" appears to be lost totally.

Hola MeltWater and all others who have kept this thread alive and contributed to sharing and spreading "MK" (ManilaKnowledge) :D

It´s been of great value and very useful for me in order to obtain certain progresses with CHTS "FullThemeSwitch" :)

Muchas gracias for sharing
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Great to hear it has been helpful. I'll try to put some more detail in the wiki about some of the other things I've done using manila, obviously it can take time to create full tutorials so they may be more code examples instead. Can share a few of the tricks I've been using for the RSSTab.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BHS Interceptor:
"Sharing Tricks" is always welcome, as well as "sharing knowledge" :D

I,m not sure if this could be the right thread for it, but since I´m taking a very close look at some files in order to identify the ones needed for a "CHT Theme Switch" as well as a "Full Device Theme Switch", I´m stumbeling on a few of the "unidentified & unlisted" manilas in Manila File List. Beeing an analytical person and paying attention to detail (I have no programming knowledge what so ever - besides the "basic" I learned when I was a youngster, way before DOS and Windows) but I´m very aware of what I "see" on my device, I´m focusing atm at the "optical" changes when switching between themes and cross checking files.

To make a very long story short, where would you want me to post such files and their descriptions/locations so they might be "renamed" and added to the manila File List?

Example see attached txt file regarding Tabslider elements ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
Such info can easily be added to the wiki, just add a new section to the tutorials and guides [http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=WM6_HTC_Sense_Developer_Wiki#Tutorials_and_Guides]. There is linked info on how to use the MediaWiki from the Xda editing guide [http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=XDA-Developers:Editing_guide].

If you have any problems I can create the outline page for you, although you might need to re-organize the details, not sure I follow all of it. My route in is looking at the programing end, all the lauc script stuff is quite different to the other programming I've done, but decompiling gives example code to follow, trouble is sense is easy to break and difficult to debug.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BHS Interceptor:
That would be great and very helpful to me if you could create that "outline" for me. I´m not sure who did the initial "naming" for the files, so atm I´ve only given them my own descriptions. I think I could easily add them to the existing Manila File Names List since this list follows/uses a logical pattern as to where the files are located. If you agree to it, the I´ll just keep "collecting" some more and when I´m half way through, or have enough to update, simply include them in wiki or where ever it seems suitable ans appropriate ;)

Hi!

I have tested for a while now some AOSP 2.1 ROM and now i have flashed the new Rosie 2.1 dump by lox/behnaam.

I wonder if we can replace the rosie default lockscreen by the ASOP one ?

Any help will be pleased!

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Revoked:
aosp lockscreen

adb remount
adb shell

cd system/app
rm HtcLockScreen.apk
rm HtcLockScreen.odex

This will give you the standard 2.1 lockscreen (Backup first, in case you want to go back)

It looks kinda odd, because the sense homescreen doesnt hide when lockscreen is up.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] ktmna:
All right, but is there any way that the lockscreen wallpaper not transparent?

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Revoked:
There's only two possibilities:

1. Change Rosie.apk to hide homescreen while lockscreen is up (unlikely as there are no sources available)

2. Change android framework lockscreen to completely darken background or use a wallpaper. (More likely as we have access to source from AOSP, alot of work though)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
Please note that the default lockscreen will cause problems if you use Sense.

Like alarms not turning off because you can't slide it down (which is incorporated into the lockscreen)
