[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
Many thanks for your continued work. Would like to take advantage of it, but I had cooked in the 2016 People packages so that Updates and Events would work. Is there an easy way to re-enable Updates and Events in your latest release to work with the 2016 packages? Again, many thanks for all you've done and your response to this request.
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
I'm sorry, but it's not because the new version in itself doesn't support it (HTC made it that way). Maybe I'll have a look at it later, but for now I'm trying to resolve the problem I had before with the People tab menu. It worked last flash, now it doesn't. Makes me sick.
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
Maybe I understand what you are saying now. When you disabled Updates and Events where the changes limited to the People package, so that if I use the 2016 People package it is enabled again?

Also, would it help you out if I listed all the packages that I'm using? Everything seems to be working well with your VGA port and minski's cfc'd WVGA original, modulo the sms bug I've reported. Got a feeling that is related to my Sprint/CDMA in which I don't use the HTC Messaging Client and an inconsistency with other 2018 packages.
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
If you don't use the HTC Messaging Client it's going to be hard. The latest version is much faster and my Message tab has some code that handles heavy loads better than pervious versions. Also, HTC Messaging Client has native support for CDMA and GSM. It's easy to change it to CDMA by default.

I'm unable to get Delete Contacts working, when the search box appears, nothing's listed. Looks like the same problem as when you use newer versions of Contact Picker. Also, the menu seems to be broken when you click on a contact :/ Can anyone confirm?
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
My delete contacts is working correctly. Just added "Joe Blow", then deleted him. All menus seemed correct. Am using Contact Picker 1_0_1919_1324.

Modified my previous post about Updates and Events, but you answered very quickly (thanks for that), so you may have missed it.
[Windows Mobile] hasseye:
is this something new that is has cdma native support? no one and i mean diamond/TP and TP2 CDMA have not been able to get htc messaging client to work.

i honestly would love to use htc messaging client just for texts, and still have arcososft mms for all other pic mail...but was unable in my last attempt.
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
When you tried deleting a contact, which People version were you using?

Yeah, if you use the old People tab it will work.

As far as I can see the code for it is there. But I can't test it since I'm on GSM.

People 2_5_20161424_0

Have been trying to download your revised 2018_3025_Ori, but it is telling me "The file you are trying to access is temporarily unavailable.". Any ideas on that?
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
Okey, well, that's why it's working. I'm using the one I ported.

No idea, must be something with MegaUpload. Uploaded it to a mirror:

http://www.megashare.com/2520667
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
RE: People. Again, was mostly using that for Updates & Events. Guess I got the unknown side benefit of being able to delete contacts. :)

RE: MegaUpload. Worked. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] janzak:
Hi abrasive

Thank you very much for your new version, I only choosed Manila_People_2_5_20161424_0 instead Manila_People_2_5_20183014_0 and everything working well for me. I attached a file with packages which I used, perhaps to someone will be useful. Thank's a lot for your work.
[Windows Mobile] TAEL:
Thread name is changed due to more clarification. (+ latest abrasive port's link updated in first page)
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
Thanks, but the issue is related to Manila_People_2_5_20183014_0.

abrasive: did you look at the locker thing? no more catched you on msn.

and...what happened to programatix? long time don't see him here :(
[Windows Mobile] Ryrzy:
Hi there...

Can anyone help to dissable this ugly cyrcles from background from sense 20183025 ??

(i dont wont BG4All)
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
No, not yet. I'm still trying to solve the problem with All People :(

Don't know where he's gone, probably taking a long rest like the other porters :)

Don't use BG4All then? The version used in this thread doesn't have that background.
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
i did a quick plain black bachground on level0. download the attached archive..overwrite your 4bfcbbee_manila file in \windows\ folder.

i advise you to backup the original file,just in case..btw both CFC and nonCFC are included,use the one that fits your rom.

siema ;)
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
@etoy: Would you mind posting your entire CFC'd 2018.3025_ORI_WVGA_[LOC]? When I try to CFC 2018.3025_ORI_WVGA_[LOC], I'm missing a lot of the graphics after flash/boot. Or maybe you can tell me what program you use and which files you CFC. I really would like to learn how to do this. Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile] Ryrzy:
Circles still there :/

polak/wloch ? :)
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
abrasive already posted them yesterday so i didn't worry about it

obydwa :)
[Windows Mobile] Ryrzy:
etoy -> of course ... strange... i will try to edit this file from my oem...

i have edit this file... upload to phone... and nothing :| this is not that file... or what :|
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
That package isn't CFC..
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
Yeah, that was the one I tried CFC'ing myself, without success. :(
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
You need to update your video drivers. Version of sense since at least 1921 have had this problem with older devices (if I'm remembering right...your gif looks like the problem I had a long time ago). Captain_Throwback posted updated video drivers from topaz in the sense 2.5.1921 vga port thread. Here's a direct link to the drivers he posted. They work fine for diamond/touch pro and probably other htc devices.

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=286081&d=1267120446
[Windows Mobile] Captain_Throwback:
I was about to post the same thing, but you beat me to it :).

P.S. Not that I care, but I posted those drivers :).
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
you have to add two dlls and hex edit mode9.dll and manila.exe to make it work. i'm at work at the moment..don't have the files with me. i can prepare them from here,no problem..but the packages i just linked seem to be down now :( if you provide me the non-cfc ones i'll do it right now.
[Windows Mobile] Ryrzy:
heh i use Omnia 2 i8000 ;) nonHTC device :) it looks like i must use BG4all or something like that to hide this ugly circles
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
It's simple really :). Get cfc-gui-only-0.60.35 here. Then recmod mode9.dll in core using recmod.exe. Then open cfcgui, browse to first sense folder (ie ...\Manila Calendar v2.5.20183014.0\files). Choose 'Finish Up' from tools menu, press ok, yes for cfc, and then no to pad the files (since you're cooking them). Rinse and repeat for every other sense folder except core. For core, choose 'Patch Manila' from Tools menu. This will cfc compress, pad, and patch manila.exe and mode9.dll. Once done, you can use reversemode.exe to turn mode9.dll back into a module. The only time consuming part is choosing all of the different sense folders.

heh, I knew they were attached to that thread somewhere and just looked at the attachments instead of actually searching for the posts with them. I've fixed it now :).
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
I also had trouble with megaupload. Here is abrasive's mirror on megashare.

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8030644&postcount=200
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
Thanks per usual mwalt. Will give this a shot.
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
@mwalt2: What about the ported VGA packages/files? Can/Should those also be CFC'd?

[edit]: Guess I answered my own question, partially. Tried to cfc ported packages, but cfcgui would not pick up the manila files. But why?
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
cfcgui only detects manila qtc files. The qtc files are manila files with graphics. You never have to change the actual qtc size when porting to vga. You adjust values in manila lua (best way) or mode9 files. BTW, manila is made up of those 3 files - 1) qtc 2) lua scripts 3) mode9 :).
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
I understand. Thanks for taking the time to explain. I now, thanks to you, have CFC'd abrasive's latest original package and it seems to be working fine.

If anybody needs this, lmk, and I will upload.
[Windows Mobile] hasseye:
just curious what does CFC compression actually do?

other than save space...does it load faster? run smoothly? etc etc??

what does it do compred to non-cfc
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
Compared to non-CFC, in my experience.

Smaller: definitely. Faster/Smoother: arguably yes, but certainly not slower or jerkier. I think a lot of the latter has to do with the correct video drivers discussed earlier in this thread.
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
do you guys have problems too with RestartManila.exe and 2018? it crashes everytime i try to run it,worked fine till 2016. any suggestions?
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
You need to edit ReStartSense.mscr from:

regWriteDword HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense, Enabled, 0
RedrawToday

regWriteDword HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense, Enabled, 1
RedrawToday
Exit

TO:

regWriteDword HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Sense, Enabled, 0
RedrawToday

regWriteDword HKLM, Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Sense, Enabled, 1
RedrawToday
Exit

It's no longer called HTC Sense in 2018, just Sense.
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
ah thanks,noticed the name change but didn't know that it was involved in that function. btw i use RestartManila.exe so i can't edit it,will have to ask the creator to correct it! btw thanks a lot for that.
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
I think you may also just be able to change it from 'Sense' to 'HTC Sense' in the manila packages as well. I seem to remember someone posting something about that somewhere...come to think of it, I may change it as well so cfcgui works properly when copying new files :). I believe it's the registry entry below in Manila Core:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DisplayNameInTodaySetting"="Sense"
[Windows Mobile] Captain_Throwback:
Of course, if you change that, you also have to change the entries related to the Today/Home Settings:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Sense]
"DLL"="ManilaToday.dll"
"Order"=dword:0
"Selectability"=dword:2
"Type"=dword:4
"Enabled"=dword:1

to

][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\[B]HTC [/B]Sense]
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
This is a bit off topic.

I'm not able to get the attatchment menu working (HTC Message Client). When I click on the paper clip nothing happens. I'm using 1.8.20183727.00.

Also, I'm not going to be here much until next saturday, got an exam next friday :(

But keep posting, I'll catch up when I'm back, so bring on the bugs! :p
[Windows Mobile] Captain_Throwback:
That's actually never worked on the Raphael, so don't feel too bad. I haven't tried your port yet, but I'm sure it's great! Keep up the good work - it's nice to have a new porter in town!
[Windows Mobile] gratian556:
Just tried the paperclip button and was able to attach a photo to a message.

Do I dare try it twice?

**edit - I will post the HTCMessage package I am using when I get home.

Manila_Message_2_5_20182914_0

HTCMessage_1_10_281_0

HTCMessaging_Client_v1.8.20161228_00
[Windows Mobile] win7463:
Just want to give Programatix and abrasive a big thanks for all your hard work. I have benefited from your hard work using the roms cooked for the cdma diamond by O.a.T.
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
I had it working in 1.8.20161228 :/
[Windows Mobile] Captain_Throwback:
This is news to me!

This is actually one of the reasons I stopped using the Messaging Client . . .

But I guess I stopped using it so long ago, I didn't realize this was ever fixed. I wonder if it depends on which Messaging Client version is being used? I'm running 20183325 right now, and it doesn't work. Or I wonder if HTCMessage has anything to do with it (I don't really think so)?

EDIT: Do you have a screenshot of it working? I'm using the following packages currently:

Manila_Message_2_5_20161428_0

HTCMessage_1_10_281_0

HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20183325

and I have no icons when pressing the paperclip. The buttons are there, as i can press where they're supposed to be, but they don't actually show up.

EDIT 2: Ok, I did a quick dependency check, and these are the packages that appear to be dependencies for the Messaging Client:

DRM_Middleware (HtcDrmApi.dll)

HTCScroll (HTCScroll2.dll)

Shared_Modules (VerInfou2.dll) - This is just for the "About" screen, I believe

HTCFramework (htcAfe.dll) - This might be one of the keys

Contact_Picker (ContactPicker.dll) - This could also be a key, since we need to use an older version

mHub_VO (voAMRNBEnc.dll)

SharedResource (htcStyleMetrix.dll) - another important package

That means any of these packages could be the culprit that prevents it from working. So if someone who has it working can provide these packages that they're using, it should get everyone up and running (hopefully).

EDIT 3: Thanks to some helpful PMs from programatix, I now understand the issue. It has nothing to do with those other packages; the necessary VGA graphics are simply missing from the newer Messaging Client packages. I used programatix's Messaging Client EXT from the 2016 port thread, and copied the files from the "VGA" folder over to the Windows folder of my device, and now I have the icons! :D. It seems that a LOT of the VGA graphics are simply not present, though the Client supports them :confused:?
[Windows Mobile] hasseye:
does this info possibly shed any light for CDMA users? i'm not expecting MMS to work, just SMS...will use arcsoft for MMS.
[Windows Mobile] O.a.T.:
@Captain. Wanna give this a try, but unsure as to the actual packages you are using. Would you mind providing a link or even better could you upload the packages you are using here? Many thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile] Captain_Throwback:
Just to clarify - Nothing I'm talking about adds any functionality to the Messaging Client; this is simply so that the graphics when pressing the paperclip display. If the Messaging Client wasn't working for you before, this won't make it work.

I simply installed one of the Messaging Client CABs available here on XDA (by pyrorob or AngelDeath/G-ThGraf), and then I copied the files in the attached zip to my \Windows folder. That will get the paperclip button working (or at least the buttons should now display).

Thanks to programatix for creating the files and originally posting them in the Sense 2016 thread. Apparently HTC never even created the files for VGA resolution, but programatix's files work without any modification, so I must assume something in the Messaging Client code is just looking for the files with "(VGA)" at the end, since it detects our device's resolution as VGA.
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
i'm (hopefully) about to complete my contribution to the 2018 port mods: manila locker.

i started from the older sense 2.5.1922 locker and mixed it up with the one from co0kie's CHT 1.7.1 (thanks co0kie for providing me the source code).

after many tries finally managed to make it work quite good with sense 2018. i removed the locker toggle in landscape mode,and if locked when in landscape,

it auto-rotates back to portrait and then locks up. the nice manila locker menu is working too.

my only problems are:

-if i use the "Opacity:Interpolate" function to make some elements fade out when locked (rss reader,calendar bar,date/calls)..

if i turn off the screen and then turn it back on,the elements show up. i had to use the "Position:Interpolate" function to make

them slide out of the visible area and then slide back to initial position when unlocked.

-wanted to shift down the whole clock tabs/weather/alarm/clock background group when locked,so there would be enough room

for the usual signal/battery icons on top right screen but i didn't manage to find the right element names yet. i solved it temporarily

moving the icons on lower part of the screen but i'd like to put them back to original position.

if someone wants to help me with that,i'd like to fix it and share it with you,i don't think there's that much work left..

Diamond 3.55

Hi. First of all thanks to all for this great thread. Is fantastic!

I´ve a trouble when I cook Drivers and OEMXipKernel from Diamond 3.55 (I want this version for the animation on screen when charging). Manila 2018 moves up. When push on Start, manila goes down and show the taskbar, but later goes up again. Any idea? Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile] Major A:
Very very nice work indeed !! I can tell your "fix" for battery and network icons placement is not a bad idea at all, and should not stop you from releasing it ;)

Just a little feature side question : do you intend to integrate an auto-unlock mechanism with HW keyboard opening ? I can't remember if CHT had this feature, but I guess it's a "no, no!" answer.
[Windows Mobile] GenesisN:
I make you my congratulations for your initiative, you are great ....

if i was a bit 'more familiar with .lua file would gladly give you a hand...

however....... do you a WVGA version? and also i would love if you will be able to run some of those options even with HTC LockScreen, at least to activate the lock icon on the home
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
i'm almost sure i'll not be able to add any new features as i simply don't know the code to use for it. i should have something to start from,like a source code or so. don't know about the keyboard opening thingy as i own an htc diamond which doesn't have a physical one.. :(

i'm not familiar with LUA too,i'm just trying to understand it a little from some source code i found on the forums and reading/searching the values through the many tools XDA provides to us,manila kitchen over all. porting the locker from VGA to WVGA shouldn't be hard,if i only had a WVGA device to test it :)

-

btw i'm using the locker from 2 days now and sometimes it has some glitches..i think i'll post it here soon so you can try it and help me making it more stable and hopefully bug-free.
[Windows Mobile] GenesisN:
if you want i could test the wvga version

would you know how to put also the mini lockScreen and an option to choose between the two?
[Windows Mobile] celoni:
hi guys...i have a little problem...can i put the 2016 home into the 2018 manila???...i didn't use the rss reader so for me is useless...i've tried today but manila wont start...i have to change the name from sense to HTC sense with the two reg in the precedent page??...
[Windows Mobile] GenesisN:
use home 2018 with the fix that remove rss.....
[Windows Mobile] celoni:
nope...with vga screen doesn't work properly...
[Windows Mobile] GenesisN:
but with the rss home does it work?
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
did you try it? please post a screenshot to see what happens. maybe it's not too hard to fix for VGA resolution..
[Windows Mobile] mwalt2:
Yeah, indagroove's fix will contain all wvga values. All you have to do is make the same changes in your vga ported file and maybe tweak the positioning of the remaining items for vga.
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
it could be done..but what to put in the empty space after removing the RSS Reader? it looks better with it,even if someone doesn't use it..no?

another question i have is this:

on coverflow fake landscape in music tab the fonts are really bad looking:

i tried to make the fonts a little bigger but they're still horrible:

does someone know what to do to fix it? it looks like it has something to do with a resize/zoom to VGA or something similar,am i right?

the same coverflow on pictures and videos tab is ok..
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
So what do you want with the text? Bigger, different position, other font?
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
the text seems to be resized somehow..the fonts don't fit on display pixels and the definition is low. compare the text of the "Album" text with "Foto e Video". and see that the music tab one (also album and artist text) aren't the same resolution. hope you understand what i mean..
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
Hmm, yeah, okey, and is it like that only in my port?
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
it's like that in previous programatix port too,but i bet it's not present in original WVGA sense. it's probably related on how the tab was ported..

--

btw...new OBOE leaked rom here (2.5.2018.4125.1)
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
Try the attached file, it should fix the size issue. There's a issue with the position of the cover art though. I'll have a look at that later if no one else wants to fix it. I'm going to start porting the new Manila now.
[Windows Mobile] mkucuksari:
Hi abrasive,

Wavv, I think we will get a new porting soon :D:D Many thanks again :)

Just before you start to the porting of new Manila, I have 2 suggestions ;

1- The new Sense, Sense 2.5.2018.4125.1, is from "Oboe 1.07.706.1 SHIP Test". So may be it will be better to wait 2-3 weeks and get the final version. In that case, you will not have to re-port the final version.

2-Could you please leave "Facebook" integration part ? Because by using your "1st port + People 2016", Facebook & Updates and Events tabs are working great.

These are my suggestions and final decision is of course yours :o

Thanks again and again
[Windows Mobile] Monfro:
Thank you very much abrasive and programatix!!!!

You are keeping our VGA devices still on the edge!!!!

I agree on both mkucuksari's proposals.

Since porting takes a lot of hours and efforts, maybe is better to wait the next shipped version.

I also like the Facebook integration part and think is better to keep it, so people that wants it can use People Tab from 2016.
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
Hehe, nah, I'm done with the port, just trying to fix the album bug.

Reguarding Facebook it's not supported in the new version by default (code isn't there). For now I've got no plans on rewriting it since the new People tab is bugy over all imo.
[Windows Mobile] Monfro:
You are really great!!!!

Thank you very much!!!!
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
Okey, I've ported 2_5_20184125_1. As usual, nothing is CFC.

There's nothing new on the visual front, but there's been some code enhancements, some new graphics are used instead of using code (again, not visually noticeable). It runs a bit smoother though, and the problem with restarting Manila is less frequent, although, it's still there.

The Music tabs' fake landscape is fixed. However, the album art clips when you rotate the screen back to portrait. Other than that it works.

Last note, the People tab is still buggy and doesn't support Social Networking. I suggest you stick with the 2016 version until (if ever) this is solved. I won’t attempt to fix it until the next ship rom is out.

Sense_2_5_2018_4125_ORI_WVGA_[LOC]

UPDATE:

Uploaded two fixes:

62ece951_manila fixes the double title bar text on the internet tab when using transparency mod. Thanks to etoy for original solution and testing.

7c60907d_manila moves the rss title text so that it's centralized.

I've reuploaded the whole VGA port so that those of you who haven't downloaded the package won't have to mess with fixes :)
[Windows Mobile] etoy:
great work! i'll try it asap.

in core package's app.reg..why did you disable twitter?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

"Manila://twitter.page.hidden"=dword:1

facebook is disabled too because of the "updates and events" problem?
[Windows Mobile] abrasive:
Ah, sorry. Those are my settings. If you use higher builds than 2016 for the People tab, Facebook needs to be disabled along with two other registry values (all are in the reg file, just commented). Twitter can be enabled in either case, so I removed it completely.

Note: If you're alarm tones are unavalible with the new manila.exe you'll need to convert the files to wma. I can upload my converted files if someone wants them (though, I've deleted some of them since I don't use them).
