ok, that's too bad because i've already made a cab for you thinking the selector is misaligned to the right in all tabs :(

so if the customization is not the issue then it's either my cab or something dutty has done to his rom. i've read for example that at some point he removed some tabs and added "phone canvas 2.10", whatever that is..

could you please try another custom slider to see if it brings the same result and report back.

bare in mind though, most of them have the selector large enough to cover the icons even if slightly misaligned.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Trillian:
Well, I think that you have right, in fact, I'm installing on other device HD that have the same manila but other roms and all works as we expected...

Thanks Antead
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
That's good to hear.

The reason it looked the way it did on that rom.

Is that the Chef, must have applied a Mode9 fix to just the first and last icon parameters.

To give it a more centered look on those tabs, when using the default slider tab.

It is a good idea, but as you can see, may cause alignment issues with sliders of this style and precision. Where the alignment is important. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
you're welcome :)

thanks for the knowledgeable explanation my friend

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
@antaed,

It appears that in order for me to do the transition fix on earlier versions of 2.5, I will need to modify the transition background dimensions, in a different file.

I can accomplish it by editing the 3a8e04af_manila file.

Sorry for any delay caused by needing the new file.

But if someone with Manila 2.5.1921, 2.5.1920, or others, would like to post their mentioned manila file, I will gladly fix it.

However, with this file being a mode9 file, it will be somewhat user specific, depending on what home.mode9 mods the user may have installed, if any.

So for this approach on older manilas, it may just be best to modify per user.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
hi santod, thanks for the update on my request.

i don't want to overload you with issues to solve so i'll leave things as they are in my thread. i won't sound the horns about this and only send you files to fix if there will be requests coming from the people themselves. if it's ok for you, i will however pm the two guys who reported the issue and ask them to send me their files and forward them to you.

Hello, I've installed it but I do not work, stays in "initiating sense", but does not start, my manila is 2.5.2012. Greetings
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
sorry

what rom do you have?

and what customization?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ALDAS:
ROM: BSB Beast v4 ESN

Cookies home tab v1.6.1

Manila 2.5.2012 - Bk4all

CHT161 fN Clock Array MOD v0.1
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
ok, try again without installing santod's transition background fix.

i think it is a conflict between the fix and bk4all.

with bk4all installed the fix is has no purpose.

please report back
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ALDAS:
I have installed it both ways, with background santod's transition fix, and without it, and none of my works both ways
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
perhaps the chef changed something in his rom.

did you try to install another custom slider and worked?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ALDAS:
Yes, I installed another slider and I have worked without problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
ok, can you tell me which one to see what is different?

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ALDAS:
http://www.ppcmods.com/sliders.html
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
yes, i spoted the difference ;).

there is a set of icons which move together with the selector between the tabs.

when you select a tab the respective icon stays on top of the selector.

due to the nature of my slider i had to get rid of these icons and there are 2 ways to do that.

one is to make all these icons fully transparent. they will be there but nobody sees them.

i prefer the second option which is to install only 4 mode9 edited manila files, courtesy of antonio mistretta.

for some reason these files don't work for you. so i made another cab with all the above-mentioned files fully transparent.

uninstall any custom slider you might have, run this cab and post a screenshot please :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Hullie NL:

first i have to find out the names of the corresponding manila files.

if you happen to to know them or you know of a slider which already has these tabs please tell me.

facebook + call history

i've completed the facebook slider icons, please find attached.

i cannot test it because i don't have the tab but i think it's ok.

please install and post a screenshot.

with the call history i'll deal later, i have to leave for a few hours.

cheers :)

edit:

i also added call history

awaiting your feedback
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Thanka a lot.

After I install these 2 cabs, I found both "facebook" and "call history" tab sizes / position are not 100% same as the others. Also, the ball cannot cover whole tab icon as same as the others. You could see it below.

I need to say thanks 100 times to you. Great job!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
this is not ok, i used the same template as on the others - the same size & position.

i believe there are some files that need mode9 editing, perhaps the scaling value for these icons is different. the best way to solve this is to find somebody who can do the mode9 editing. i will contact some guys for help.

in the mean time, i will scale down your icons in photoshop (when i'll get home), maybe we can get an acceptable result.

ps

what about the large "preview" icons - are those ok?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Hi Antaed,

The large preview is workable without problem. It is very good.

Looking forward to get the fix of "facebook" and "call history" tab.

Thanks again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
Antaed, I will have to do some further digging to edit the mode9 for these.

Until I can do so, here is a photoshopped fix for anyone that needs or wants them in the meantime. I have remade them twice, to get the alignment just right, so it matches up with the rest of your great work. ;)

I hope this will do, until I can spend a little more time on it for us.

**Cab removed for further editing**

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Hi Antaed,

sorry. I just found the preview of "facebook" is bigger than others,

and preview of "Call history" is smaller than others.

I post the screens in the previous post.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
ok, please wait until i'll get home from work.

the preview icons were ok at first, is that correct?

santod probably didn't knew and tried to fix them also.

the small icons also need to be re-adjusted - facebook is slightly smaller and call history slightly larger than the rest
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
I will reinstall and look again, because I don't believe I have changed the preview icons at all.:o

The other strange thing, is that they were all perfectly sized also, so I did not have the small call history slider icon, like shown. Hmmm. I will report back.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Hi Antaed,

I just reinstall your original "facebook" and "call history" slider cab.

The preview screens have the same problem.

Sorry that I have not checked it carefully before.

Thanks a lot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Hi Santod,

I also found the slider icon of "recent documents" become smaller and its logo is also changed after installing your cab of "facebook and call history".

you could find the probelm in the 1st screen I captured before (between footprint and twitter)

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
I indeed renamed a file in the process of making my cab by accident, so when I re edited and added it back, it did not overwrite it.

Anyhow, that's why it changed the documents tab to also show the call history icon. That was my mistake.

However the sizing of the two slider icons that we intended to add look fine as far as I can see.

Just need to fix the preview sizes and remove my Recent Documents blooper from it and it should be good then.

I'm happy to finish it Antaed, if you would like. Or I can let you.

I just thought I'd try and help, since you don't have the tabs on your device, and the sizes called out in the mode9's for them has been fairly unpredictable, for you to do it blindly.

Let me know if you want me to fix and finish it off. It could definitely use some adjustments in the mode9 for sure. That would be the ideal fix.

I will take a look at that option, later on today.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Hi Santod,

I have another question would like to ask you for help.

How to make these 2 part of HTC sense to be transparent?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
Either HDwalls, or MaxTTM 4.1.

If you use MaxTTM with BG4all, you can use whatever wallpaper you want, and it will convert it to skin the bars upon resetting.

Just don't Use MaxTTM for much else, as it has not had an update in some time and has some compatibility issues when trying to use it for swapping out components.

HD walls of course, is higher quality, but you need to configure and cab up each wallpaper, and it also does not rotate in landscape on 2.5.2012 yet.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
as i could see in your screenshots your fix is impeccable and if you don't mind, i would appreciate if you could continue to finish the job yourself. you're right, i would do it blindly indeed. not impossible but a more painful trial and error method... :)

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Thanks Santod,

I think I will try HDwalls instead of MaxTTM.

And thanks for your and Antaed's help in fixing the slider and preview problem.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
You're welcome. It will be late, but I also wanna provide Antaed with an updated background transition fix, to also include the reader tab, so that disabling it will not be necessary.

Perhaps, he will want to make up the icon to implement into the slider as well.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
I do hope so.

Then I put the slider installation as the last step. I go to install the other apps on the new rom first.

Anyway, I really need to say thanks to both of you ^ ^

I like your work so much!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
guys, thanks for your patience, i will let you both now when santod's fixes are available.

i'm sorry for the reader tab issue, i don't have this tab so it didn't show up to me. the icons are already included in the slider, so i will recheck the manila names.

thanks for your effort santod, it is very kind of you to help me with this.

do you think the updatesd bk transition fix will solve the reader issue or i've got the names wrong?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
No problem, glad to help in any small way I can.

Yes, the new transition fix I post in a little while, may help the issue they are having with the added Reader Tab.

Assuming that they are using the transition fix. If they are not, then I can't imagine why they would have any issues with it.

_____________________________________________________________________

Ok, you guys have waited long enough.

I have made a cab that contains all slider icons, including the Facebook, Recent Documents and Call History Tabs.

The Facebook and Call history slider tab icons are fully fixed.

The large preview icon for Facebook is fixed.

The large preview Icon for Call History tab, is as fixed as it can be, with the mode9 layout that it comes with. It seems it was not ever fully ported to WVGA properly.

I could fix the mode9 for it, but it would be hit and miss, as it would work great on some roms and not on others.

So I have settled on that preview icon, being a little higher then the rest.

The bottom slider icon is perfectly fine though.

If Antaed agrees to moving all the preview icons up to the center of the allowed canvas size for each, then we could make the Call History preview icon line up with the rest.

That would be the most compatible fix for all roms and setups with that tab.

I will add the Reader Tab later today as well, if desired.

Along with an updated transition fix for 2.5.2012 with the Call History, Facebook, and Reader Tabs.

Let me know if you have any issues with the cab.

Uninstall the original slider cab first before installing this one.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Thanks buddy,

let me try and post the screen later. before I install the update slider, here are our new energy rom's "Reader" tab screens to all of you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] santod040:
No problem.

I am installing his newest rom shortly, and will make the appropriate manila files for the Reader tab that he has added back again.

If Antaed, wants to make up the icon image, that would be great. If he would rather I make it, that's fine too. Just let me know Antaed. Your slider, your decision. ;)

In the meantime, I will gather the appropriate files for the tab, so I can just apply the images when ready and cab it up.

**EDIT**

Here is an icon I just made for the Reader tab, that I can use, but will wait for Antaed to reply first.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Hi Santod,

The new cab is workable good. Here are the screens captured.

Now just leave the "Reader" tab. I tried to load the new slider with "Reader", but it is still failed (HTC sense cannot lauch).

And I have one suggestion to Antaed and you. If the glassball's transparency rate could be increase to 40 - 50%, I think the outcomes will be quite good.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
hi santod, guys,

sorry for missing your conversation so far, i've been out of town and without signal.

about your requests:

1. i could move all preview icons higher to align with the call history icon but that will lead to another issue. the date will be shown off the calendar icon, amof it is as low as it could possibly be now.

2. the reader icons are already included in the cab. look carefully in the 1st post and you'll see them. about the issue, even if i would have named them wrong it shouldn't be a problem because the original files would not be overwritten. i will do cab without them to see if the problem persists, maybe some file is corrupted...

3. sanchen, i will try to increase the transparency to see if we get a better result for you.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] wolfee:
I have to say I love the fact you can custom make screans for the HD2. I have seen a lot of impressive work being done. Well done.

I have a couple of questions though, and not seen it asked yet. if it has been, please forgive me, I am a total noob to the HD2, and all of this tech stuff.

To change the dif screans, you have to add CAb files, and DLL files. By doing so, does it void the T-Mo, warrenty/insurance. I asked a guy at my T-Mo store and he had no clue. I am guessing it does because (correct me if I am wrong) to change the screans, one needs to Flash the phone.

I know its a nob question, but I am new to this, and I AM learning.

Thank you
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gwbard:
Yes, flashing the ROM most likely will void the warranty/insurance -- however -- a "stock" ROM can be flashed back to the device if it ever needs service.

No, you do not necessarily need to flash your ROM for most theme mods. You appear to have the TMO HD2 -- in that case the stock ROM is not so bad, since it does have Sense 2.5 it is current enough for almost anything you find here in the forums.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] seanchen:
Hi Antaed,

Thanks a lot.

1) for the alignment, it is good if you could change. but if we need to give up the date on the calender preview, we may consider another way. your calender preview is really good comparing with some other developers. I saw some samples, the date position is not fit to the preview icon. But yours is fit. therefore, may we consider to change the position of the call history? it is only my opinion, what will be the others? and actually, even the call history preview is different from the others in this update version, i feel acceptable. ^ ^

2) yup, i saw the reader icon in first post. and you could see the screen i posted. it is really called "Reader" in the rom. i don't know why the problem exist

3) thanks, pls consider but it is not necessary. the current is good and I also like. but just thinking about if the transparency of the glass ball is higher, will the appearance be better

Anyway, thank you very very much to both you and Santod's work
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] antaed:
hi sanchen, thanks for the feedback.

1. this is a very good idea since all preview icons are at the bottom of the canvas now. to do this please post a screenshot so i can see the position of the call history icon compared to the rest.

2. i think i found an explanation to your problem - check posts 51-60 and try the cab i posted there:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649604&page=6

i don't know how did i forget about this :o

3. i'll try but this will take some time, i'll post soon.

once i have all things confirmed to work i will release an updated slider.
