Problem with Album and Music Tab

I have installed the 0.64b version and i have put a portait background without any problem.

The bug now is in the album and music tab when i rotate the screen to landscape the topbar remain black.

I don't activate the landscape support in the Manila 2.5
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AvRS:
I'm similar to Raadius and am looking for a tweak that only affects the home page and not all and also leaves the standard top and bottom bars as I don't like how this affects all the other tabs, black suits it best. I'm guessing this is what you're next version will allow? If so I eagerly await it :)

I'm currently using cookies HDWall patch and cab's I've found on the request thread but this is very long winded just to set a wallpaper that looks crisp. Will your next release just allow us to change the wallpaper quickly without having to reset everytime as would be nice to just click a wallpaper and have that show in it's full quality? I know you're adding lots of extra functionality which most people will go for but for the simplistic people like me it'd be nice to have a basic version that only affects the home page and nothing else.

Thanks

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
I believe this is caused by your start menu using it's own transparency effect and assuming your today screen background is not full-screen. I am looking into a fix for it.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
My MOD expects that landscape is activated and this may be the cause of your problem. I believe it will be easy to correct, can you post some screen-shots so that I understand it better?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
I will add as many control settings as possible in the next official release. This way you can disable everything that you do not want. The MOD does not require a reset in most cases, it instantly updates your background. I even have plans for it to automatically cycle backgrounds from a folder you specify. You will probably see the ability to control which tabs are skinned in v0.7b
[Windows Mobile Software Development] totalcmdext:
In the attache picture you could find what i mean.

Also it is possible the weather animation to play in the whole screen
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
Please try to copy the file, contained in the .zip I attached, to your "\Windows\" folder and then reset. Let me know if there is any change.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] totalcmdext:
I have tried it without any success.

It's remain and also make o soft reset of device.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
This is all related to the 'fake' landscape mode on the music and album tabs. It's really just staying in portrait and drawing everything fullscreen so that it appears to be in landscape (ie rotated 90 degrees). I think this is more of an incomplete feature in the newer versions of sense, since the 'fake' landscape mode is disabled in builds coming from topaz, rhodium, leo, etc. You need to edit 285d005a_manila onshowfullscreen and onhidefullscreen as I've stated before. It's the same problem as with manila lockscreen in amarullz/kisja and Cookie's lockscreen based on code from their mod.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] totalcmdext:
Please could you post the modify file 285d005a_manila
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
I plan to tackle this issue, but it will be later rather than sooner. It will have to be a seperate patch from the main MOD, and unfortunately, the main MOD is my priority.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] pilgrim011:
Great work.:) I have a few questions:

1.

. Does this means that Sense 2.1 is not supported?

2. Could you include SPB Mobile Shell support - many people prefer that over Manila/Sense UIs.

3. Does this tool have any impact on battery life - is there any sort of CPU usage after you set the transparency via BG Tweak or stand-alone opacity adjustment tool?

Thanks:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
You are a god among men!!! I have been searching for ages for this, only just started looking into the tsk today!

Please keep me posted, or would you like a joint venture on this one?

Im willing to help! (i actually know somewhere that has the fix implimented but the person will not share how it was done!! would you like to know where so you can see too?)

MG
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
Thank you ...

1. I have not tested it, I don't assume it will work. If there is much demand, I will try to port it. You are only the second person that asked.

2. SPB mobile shell is completely different from Sense UI, it would not be "support", it would be a new project. I had already written a background changer and utility program for SPB MS last year but I lost my source code in a hard drive crash and was not able to continue it. Another XDA member seems to have copied my layout and started the project up again. His project does not have as many features but it supports the new version of MS and mine does not.

Mine is here: MS3Config v0.16 and I have a link to his as well on my title post.

3. There is CPU and RAM usage after setting opacity levels but it is minor and will be even less as I post more updates. There is a program that is run in the background that is required to force the redraw of the task and menu-bars upon rotation. This is an event triggered process, not a polling type process, so there should be no noticable difference in battery life or CPU performance. It is a bit RAM hungry at the moment but it is one of the next things I will be updating, and when I am finished it, will use VERY little ram and no process slot. You will never know it is there :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
I don't know much about the .tsk format or editing them. So by all means, if you think the key is there and you are willing to do some experimentation on your own, I am more than willing to incorporate your work or information, Just PM me when you have something. And yes, I am interested in taking a look at this other person's fix.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Buff99:
GREAT mod!

I've been messing with HDwalls lately but this is so much more satisfying as you can properly set up portrait and landscape.

Here are working shell files for 21899; had to get them using method 3 as 1 and 2 don't work with this build. Working fine on X1 with Energy rom.

Now to try 21901..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dayznfuz:
What's the clock cab from the first purple image

I've been looking all over the place for a transparent background for the clock. What transparent clock program did you use on the first screen capture on the first post (the one with the purple wallpaper).

And to add to this thread. I love this mod, but it's a bit finicky. Namely, I'm having trouble getting it to "stick" the background on the start menu screen (instead I usually get a blue screen). I'm presuming that it's not generating a correct image to stick on the today screen (or it's pointing to the wrong file).

So generally, I have to manually point the today screen background to the image I'm using on the today settings screen. I also have to usually switch to landscape and back again to get the transparent bars to work.

Once set up, though, it looks great.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] jorgepr13:
that fix can correct that photo & video tab problem too ??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
I didn't watch the video, but the problem with the photo and video tab is that it uses the onshowfullscreen and onhidefullscreen commands...same as manila locker...same as the fullscreen wallpaper mod which uses cropped portions of a 480x640 vga wallpaper for taskbar/softkeybar set via the registry (like my mod here and probably the same thing posted in this thread by voldeus for those that can't get their shell files).

If you are using a 6.5.x sys, then you can try the fix I have posted at the bottom on this post. It is the last attachment called Manila Locker VGAHDWall 6.5.x Fix.cab. This will only work for VGA 6.5.x SYS as far as I have tested/know.

Post if it works for you :).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jorgepr13:
no... still got the resize problem

[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
Glad to hear it's working well for you. Nice icons :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
Looking at the screenshots McRip just posted ... it seems there are alignment problems when using builds that have the wider menu-bar, I'll try to correct this as soon as possible.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
You might need a separate version for 6.5 and 6.5.x. I had to do this when using 090a4ee8_manila for bg4all and png's for taskbar/softkeybar to make a 'fullscreen' wallpaper. If this is the case, the VGA version files I posted are for 6.5.x. Hopefully others will chime in if they are seeing problems.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
It's looking that way.

Works Great

Hi VolDeus,

Tested your v0.1 cab on 'energy 23554/01-04-10' build & 'energy gtx 23554/08-04-10' & on 'park lotus v1.0 23541' roms using 2 system files from 23554 zip.

Very glad to inform you that it works flawlessly.

Just downloaded the v0.2 cab, will test it & post the feedback.

Thank you for the wonderful mod.

Keep it up.:)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dirty.sanchez:
ofcourse yours :p. hmm it would be great if you could post a link, i'm on bad dataplan mobile partner.!

Hello,

I try this but my phone crash. I must do a hardreset. After step 5 my device start, I see the green HTC Logo then the Background light turns off and the phone is dead. No boot no sound nothing.

I have the original german HTC rom 6.5.x in there and manila 2.5.2012. My os version is 21887 and I download the right files.

What is wrong? Can anybody help me?

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] millski:
I posted a corrected 090a4ee8_manila for WVGA/6.5.x in Ham3r's thread a few days back. I've only adjusted the portrait, the landscape still needs adjusting. Here it as again ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
Thanks alot for the help but I actually corrected it in the Set Wallpapers program so the same cab works for 6.5 and 6.5.x. I figured this would make things a bit simpler ... Especially since I would have had to maintain 8 seperate cabs once I made a copy that is compatible with MaxManila :)

Check it out and let me know if it looks right for you.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] volDeus:
Update

WVGA Version 0.3 uploaded!!

Corrected the misalignment issue in WM 6.5.x builds ... (like what was seen in the screenshots posted by McRip)..

Will correct VGA as soon as possible..

Download version 0.3 and let me know if it looks right. (6.5 or 6.5.x)

Unfortunately I have no link for 20757 I received rom with the mobile and I have not changed ...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Troden:
gave it a go, my shell wasn't listed so i extracted it but the wallpaper wasn't all way top to bottom and the bottom transparency didn't work at all.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] jorgepr13:
you can try that... that worked for me... and also check the sizes of the files... in post #2 you will have the approximate sizes
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mwalt2:
Oh sorry, guess I should have watched the video. The fix I linked is for the positioning of the background wallpaper after using the onshowfullscreen and onhidefullscreen commands in the 'fake' landscape modes for album and picture tabs. I'm not sure what causes the actual picture previews to become mis-sized.

When I install this cab and I modify the wallpaper the background remains black.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wez89:
I installed this before i installed BG Tweak..which version of BG Tweak are you running?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] BoominSVX:
I don't know if it'll help you, but when I used this mod on mightyrom, I had the same issue, It was just a black screen. I fought with uninstalling and reinstalling a few times before I tried setting the default wallpaper. I think it was because I had a different wallpaper selected when I installed it. Selecting the dark wallpaper with the light grey circle seemed to fix mine. Try setting it to that. The wallpaper you should see with the mod installed prior to setting a custom wallpaper is a black background with a vertical bar (grey or white) that goes horizontaly across the screen from on side to the other. Check that this is what you see with the mod installed.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] danar64:
I have installed 1.6b5.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wez89:
I was using 1.6b4 and it worked perfect, tried 1.6b5 and i experienced the problems you said
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AvRS:
I tried installing this and it caused a number of problems which took me a while to sort out but luckily I got there. When installed it gave me a blue background on my lockscreen and start menu and then on my today screen it was stuck on the wallpaper I had selected before the install with a small box at the top left of the clock, nothing was selectable, cookies home tab had basically disappeared as couldn't see any quick links and couldn't press any softkeys, only thing working was the slider which gave a black background on every tab with a white box in the top corner. I uninstalled everything, imported my backed up standard reg file, installed cookie's home tab again and that restored my phone to a working condition.

I was using the fake transparency for bars as don't want to start playing with the shell files etc but this shouldn't happen should it? I'd like to try it again as thinking it might have been a conflict with previously installed cookies HQ wallpaper patch and HDWall but don't want to mess up my phone.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] wez89:
Using the shell files isnt really a problem..on the first page just find your shell build and copy the files to the root of storage..install BG Tweak, and then set the transparency value, reset device when done..its easy and simple and is a better way as 'Fake' mode causes a few problems, as you have experienced

EDIT~ as i experienced the cookie wallpaper patch did cause me a few problems with a blank screen..ii would uninstall this before using this tweak again
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AvRS:
Thanks, I've downloaded the shell files so think I'll give it a go. I haven't re-installed the wallpaper patch again so that shouldn't be a problem this time. I just hope it works with my phone as mine is sense 2.5.1921 and would hate to hard reset as my phone is exactly how I want it right now.

Oh well here goes nothing lol
[Windows Mobile Software Development] AvRS:
Ok I can say this doesn't work on my device it's now stuck on the boot screen so guess its a hard reset for me. This is why I don't play with hacks lol

For reference I was on rom 1.66 with Sense 2.5.1921

[Windows Mobile Software Development] dayznfuz:
Okay. I've been playing with this over the weekend. I'm currently using Mr X Rom and CoOkie Home tab. In case anyone else is having trouble getting it to work, here's what I have to do.

To get transparent backgrounds to work correctly I have to do the following...

1) Set Transparency for the bars in BGTweak.

2) Set the background image in BGTweak.

3) Soft Reset.

At this point, one of two things happens. Either I get the correct background picture and screwed up task/menu bars, or everything is screwed up -- ie a big smudgy blue background. To fix this, I then

4) Go into the home settings and point the "Use this picture as the background" setting to the same Wallpaper that I used in BGTweaks.

5) Exit out. It should now all be working correctly. If not...

6) Open keyboard to switch to Landscape, then close it and switch back. At this point everything always works.

One question for you all. With the backgrounds on all the pages, text on the Messages Tab can be unreadable now. Does anyone know of a way to either darken the background as a whole for this tab (like the start menu screen), or at least a way to add a gray/black background where the SMS text sits?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] spawn549:
thankz bro!

file is working for ROM 23563.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] millski:
You can't darken the background or place a box behind the text message. It's something I've been looking into myself (adding a dark background for the text message like the calendar tab uses) but I don't really know how to do it :/ For now your best bet is to stick to dark coloured wallpapers.

Hey,

sorry but i cant seem to get the aygshell.dll for my "23563" build.

i used ROM image editor and copied it to recmod but it turns out to be only 1kb.

so i assume its corrupted? Shell32 is fine tho..

is there anything I or you can do? thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] 4D3:
im not using the app at all, this is what happens when i have nothing other than wallpaper.

Id aporeciate it if you stop jumping down my throat for no reason. first you take my help fixing the graphics in your roms on the diamond, now you give me sh*t messages when you dont need anything from me.

if you want to give me some help, point me in the direction of the correct files for Xannytechs 1.8 rom

I cant stand behaviour like this, its really juvenile and it brings you down. i dont get what your issue is, one day you chat away over msn, litterally the next you acting like a this.

The BG Tweak will NOT work mate, this is on post #1:

MOST IMPORTANT: Stock (unchanged) copies of "shell32.exe" and "aygshell.dll" for your WM build...

Maybe try the tools on post #3 because these don't require HTC Manila.

But I suggest you wait for volDeus to confirm first.

I tried this on tmobile usa 21889 and got grey taskbar along with grey bottom bar, also my start menu got all mess up to bluish color background. I try to uninstall the program, but it fail to do so. How can I revert back without doing a hard reset? thank you

Thanks for the reply. Dark backgrounds it is. :D

@mr2kqql

This is where you can get it to work by going into Start>Settings>Today

At the bottom, check the "use this picture as background"

Click browse and select the same picture that you had BGTweak use as the background. Then return to the home tab. You might have to open and close your keyboard (ie switch to landscape and back), but it should work at that point.
