But I had no luck installing it. The prev one (1.0) was OK but not this one (1.04) it installs OK but when I try to run it the system hangs.
Is it running OK with you?

Same here.. ..didn't try the older versions..
Mine installed and ran fine. My question is this, when you slide to ANSWER a call how do you get to the home screen? It gives you the slide to END, but I got a text during a call and couldn't get to it while on the call. I use a bluetooth head set and text while I talk.
Is there anyway of just having the slide on the htc home page.
This is my first post, Have been on and off this site...Had a SPV500 when they were out new and now have bought a Orbit 2...look forward to being an active (posting) member of this forum.
The reason I never posted is that every question for the SPV500 was answered and now after going through a lot of SE phone (what was I tinking)..I've come back to WM...although wished I had waited now..looking at the Xperia X1
Anyway luv this forum.....like they say....If Calsberg did forums....

Tried IFonz on Bepe's ROM V.53 and its remarkably responsive. Could be due to the Optimization/Tweak implemented by Bepe though. I'll keep it for a while and see if I could find some bugs. So far, 5 hours and haven't noticed anything yet.
mahmood thnx a lot for all you work!!! just a question the "extraicons" folder should i put it somewhere in my ppc if so where to?
im new in ppc's so really sorry if this a silly question!
LCARS-Theme for WM6 would be very much appreciated As a Star Trek fan, would be great to have one fitting well the Polaris, old WM5-one doesn't look and function that good on WM6

I would just like to start this thread to post some idea's I have that I think need to be included in a future release of the Settings app for S2U2.
1. Ability to choose any wallpaper on the device. (JPG/GIF) Not be just stuck to having to copy/paste into the GFX directory, as the filename of wallpaper.gif or wallpaper.jpg.
-FIXED: Use Slide2View posted here to change the wallpaper easily enough. I've known about the registry edit, but wanted a more streamlined solution. Guess this is it!
2. Have theme type files. Kinda like the tsk files for the today screen.
Few more I'll post later as I think of them.... Just post more ideas!!
theme
How bout if you can to themes like pocketcm does it and you can change themes like pocketcm.
lennysh ur suggestion works since forever, you have to edit the path in the resgistry. i dont remember where exactly, that way u can run the wallpapers from SD..

Hey lennysh, you should check out S2V (Slide2View) also by A_C. This is a cool picture viewer and one of the options is to make the currently viewed picture the wallpaper for S2U2!
I created a folder under My Pictures called Wallpapers. I put all my jpg and gifs (even animated gifs) in that folder. I can then browse those pics with S2V, and select one to be my wallpaper for S2U2. Very cool!
Hope that helps.
I think S2V should eventually be built into the S2U2 settings program.
An option I would like to see is password protected unlocking so that after you slide a dialpad shows up and you have to enter the password to unlock the phone.
an exclusion feature would be great because it's a bit disturbing while playing games..
TacoLoco said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
there is an exclusion feature but it's accessed via a registry edit. go HKCU/software/A_C and there is a bunch of reg keys that start with "Exclusion1, Exclusion2, ....
Just add the name of the EXE that you want to exclude.
It would be nice if this was added to s2u2 settings via the gui but for now it works.
icon on screensaver?
First, Awesome app.
Now, when I launch S2U2 it works fantastic, but, there is a little icon that resembles a text document with a check on it and a number seven in a red circle just below it??? this is located just above the right corner of the unlock slide. Any thoughts?
just turn off task count in s2u2 settings
S2U2 and it's counter part S2V are both fabulous apps as far as single apps go. Yes S2U2 requires a regedit to use the directory of your choice unless you also install S2V..which begs the question...why?? I think they are both great apps but I am not sure I see the point of two separate apps when you need one to do something specific like choose the directory to use for pics.
So..what I would like to see is a merge of the two or make them two separate programs entirely. On that note, it would be nice to see a few of these great developers merge several of their apps into one nice compilation. There are obviously several "popular" apps that all perform entirely different functions. A compilation of these "popular" apps would make for a rather nice experience. And when I say compilation, I don't mean a .cab that includes these apps together, I mean one united program with all the functions streamlined and working together. Something like a mix of S2U2, Pictureflow, PocketCM and what ever all bundled seamlessly into ...say...a PointUI app or something along those lines.
guap,
where is the task count located?
afdrookie said:

it's somewhere in the s2u2 settings, set it to "off". otherwise, you may try to mark your "unread messages" in your inbox to "read messages", so the task count won't appear.. hope this helps.
thanks
I want S2U2 to be PointUI-ized.
It would be great if S2U2 could have an owner info on the start screen. Maybe an icon (similar to the weather icons) or as a small text below the slider.
Awesome apps, but the only problem faced by me in my iMate JAQ is changing the orientation of the setting screen. As directed I have changed to path clock to clockH, but it still doesn't work. Any help there?????????????
Slide2View is nice. I have both S2U2 0.98 and Slide2View in the same CAB file, with the additional clocks included. If anybody would like a copy, just let me know. I will also try and include some more stuff if I find some. It is set to use the HTC theme in S2U2.
Got it! Thanks for the info....I kinda hate to admit it but I did not know that the options was a scrollable page. After that I found it no problem. What a great app!!!
If not too much
s2u2 is a very great application.
if not too much..can he include a preview button in the next s2u2 setting? ok, maybe i'm too lazy too save and exit the setting before i can see the outcome of it. but it could be a nice add on in the next release.
thanks to A_C!
Hello Friends
One more time sorry for my english
My pourpose is the next one: When you close S2U2, it appears a window with message " S2U2 are closed", and a ok button to close it.
It's posible that the window disapear automatically after few seconds?.
Thanks.
The ability to either key in a simple pin or a strong alphanumeric password when you slide to unlock.
Invoking the WM6 one is messy/untidy.
Also create a Today plugin for S2U2 so you can invoke the lock directly off the Today screen.

you did a great job with this theme... especially the dialer... it has its quirks and bugs i wish i knew how to fix (on the dialer)... and as for the theme, its perfect and very detailed to the t, but is very bulky and slowly responsive on my device. once everything is in memory it is pretty quick, but once you slide to landscape or power the backlight off... the memory will reset itself. (which is a problem with wad) but that isnt your fault wad2 will fix this! i have a lot of memory to spare on my kaiser... and once we get these missing drivers, im sure this theme would be a lot faster, but thats a whole new rant on its own...
but either way, getting back on track, i had to show appreciation to your work and share with this community here. thanks

Wad - wisebar advance?
Seeing the questions you have are all similar I'll answer as one.The main basis for my theme is Wisbar Advance 3 and Wisbar Advance Desktop. If you do not Have or know about these go to http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/download.php and all the relative Information is there.
As for my Theme It is easy to Install Thw Wad just needs to be extracted from the Mobile Vista.rar and the two folders Mobile Vista Portrait and Mobile Vista Landscape placed on your mobile in Themes/Desktop , that is if you have the WAD program. Then just select from Theme Manger.
All the other items are self installing Cab's or Extractable rar's and only need to go into there respective folders ie: Mobile Vista Wmp11 into the folder Windows Media Player etc
I hope this has helped
its wisbar advance desktop theme but its big. U can reduce it to 50 % because most of the background (wallpaper) is in .PNG format and u can change them to JPEG and that will reduce the size and also some .TGA (backgrounds) files are doubled and actually u can use onle one so delete if u find them i have reduced mine to 50% of the total size of this theme !!!

I had no problem with you posting my Dialer on this site, I guess I felt the rest of the Theme should then be here as well.
Yes it's only my second Dialer, Works well for me but then again I undestand all our mobiles are slightly different.
Anyway Tks for all the words and I'm glad you like It.
I haven't really had a chance to mess with any settings or Wisbar products yet, but what's the need for the Wisbar Advance?

If I understand the Question, there are no special needs they can be used on any windows mobile pocket pc pr phone addition. 2003se, mobile5 and mobile6. It's probably better with a newer modile as they usually have more memory.
Thanks for the great theme work. After a few times making the theme FUBAR'd and reloading it, I finally figured out how to customize it! I even added pages and plugins. Once it's finaly setup the way you want it, make sure you copy the theme directories to a safe location, because its a pain to customize in both portrait and then landscape, hours and even days of work can be lost in a snap. Here are some screen shots to give you some ideas:
The blue bar next to the start button is actaully a signal meter, it helps to know if you can make a call or not.
A few more screens:
The last one here is a page of spb today plugins; "Pocket Plus" "Phone Suite" (as a plus tab) and "Time".
Last one, used the included "weather page" and and customized it using "spb weather" today plugin, with some custom logos/text:
I would like to see an update to the dialer if possible, the "talk" button needs redial behavior added, right now it does nothing. If I can learn how to fix it, I'll post it if thats ok. It also needs the more white top raised above the buttons, for a better appearance, in my opinion. Thanks again for all the GREAT work, I know you put alot of time into this!
hi there
first off, i'd like to thank for making such nice appl,
but sorry to my bad understanding, how do i install it...?
thanks
DELETE double post. Sorry.
I had trouble at first too, after few hours of messing with wisbar I figured it out and wrote my self a text file for future reference:
~~~ HOW TO INSTALL VISTA ADVANCED THEME ~~~
1. Copy the 2 folders in "MobileVistaWAD's-Mobile6" and copy folder "MobileVistaWisbar" to the Mobile Device under "Device/Themes/Desktop".
1a. OPTIONAL- Copy file "MobileVista.tsk" to the Mobile Device under "Device/Windows" activate to maintain keybord icon color integrity.
2. Copy folder "MobileVistaWMP11" to the Mobile Device under "Device/Program Files/Windows Media Player".
3. Install "wisbardesktop.armv4i.cab".
4. Install "wisbaradv3.wm6.cab".
5. Install "mobile-vista-calculator-skin.cab".
6. Install "mobile-vista-phone.cab".
7. Install "mobile-vista-welcome.cab".
8. Run "Start/Programs/WisBar Advance 3" (If not already running).
9. Run "Start/Programs/WisBar Advance Settings", Select "Theme" - "Destop Theme" - "Mobile Vista" - "OK".
10. Select "Destop Theme" - "Landscape" tab - "Mobile Vista Landscape" - "OK".
11. Select "WisBar Theme" - "Custom Theme" - "Menu" soft key - "install" - browse to "MobileVistaWisbar" - "OK" - "Apply".
12. Customize and repair any broken links.
Note: Use advanced setting to have WisBar start after soft resets.

Hope this helps.
PS. Using on AT&T Tilt, WM6 Professional
Sorry another P.S.
Disable any screen savers, especially "Spb Time" if you have it, the screen saver won't apear over this theme, until you try to answer a call, and then it can possibly lock up the phone requiring a reset. Do you really need a screensaver anyway, if its not in use, shut down the screen and save the battery
Hi Guys!
I wasn't online for a long time, i think everything has changed here
Well...i started this thread, because i cannot read through all unread threads...
Maybe i could help others with this Thread, too!
concern in this thread:
Currently im using Battery-Status + UltimateLaunch...It's very stable, but i don't like the theme anymore...also it doesnt support landscape...
So i want a new "Today Plugin".
"Wishlist" for the TodayPlugin:
- Portrait + Landscape Support
- Good looking (maybe a "modern" style)
- Stable (no Beta's, besides its stable!)
- Today-Screen integration (No MobileShell,PointUI,..., cause it's a "lay-over"-App(Reason for this: With this apps you need a hack/workaround, that the original today screen is NEVER shown!))
- low requirements (fast)
- Customizable (Define Program Pages, and define my own sms,mail,calendar,... -apps)
Which today plugin can i use???
If you don't want to help me, just ignore the thread

Truth is there is nothing that is %100 how you requested. Not yet anyway.
You have three you can look into:
Throttle Launcher (My favorite---ThrottleLauncher.com)
Manilla2D
GSmart
There is also HTC Home, but I think your more into the above stuff.
You must at least try Manila2D (TouchFlo2D).
thx very good article
thx very good article
Hi there!
I've tried Manilla 2D and...wow, THIS is what im searching for
BUT i have a lot of problems with it...
I've downloaded from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173&highlight=Manila2D
the zip file "manila.zip" (the first downloadlink in this post) and installed all apps, including the 12MB big cab "Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926.CAB"
then i installed the manilla2D configuration tool...
then i've downloaded the german translation, an copied all files in the "windows" folder of the archive to my windows-folder of my device...
then i've downloaded the "bliss" theme (tsk+wall) and copied it also in my windows folder...then i activated the tsk file...
after this, m2d was starting...but i have following problems with it:
- If i switch to landscape, m2d stays portrait...so the bottom items are cropped...
- i cant see any text on the home tab....i can see the icons of "calendar" and "missed calls", but i CAN't see any text next to it! same problem on the "settings tab"...just the icons, no text...the same problem in the HTC album (if i click on a picture in the picture tab the album shows up...if i click the bottom right icon, i can see 4 lines..i think these are the options, but i cant see any text!!
- if i go to the weather tab, i cant see anything...blank screen...(maybe its the same issue, such as the "no-text"-issue in the tabs i mentioned above?)
- in the sms tab sometimes, there is "(null)" instead of the date...in the mail app this "(null)" is ALWAYS shown instead of the date...
- where can i download themes for m2d and add it in the m2d configuration tool?
- and is it normal, that i have to overwrite the background-png in the "manilaGFX" folder to gain my own background in m2d??
please help, manila2d is so beautiful

then i've downloaded the german translation, an copied all files in the "windows" folder of the archive to my windows-folder of my device...
then i've downloaded the "bliss" theme (tsk+wall) and copied it also in my windows folder...then i activated the tsk file...
after this, m2d was starting...but i have following problems with it:
- If i switch to landscape, m2d stays portrait...so the bottom items are cropped...
- i cant see any text on the home tab....i can see the icons of "calendar" and "missed calls", but i CAN't see any text next to it! same problem on the "settings tab"...just the icons, no text...the same problem in the HTC album (if i click on a picture in the picture tab the album shows up...if i click the bottom right icon, i can see 4 lines..i think these are the options, but i cant see any text!!
- if i go to the weather tab, i cant see anything...blank screen...(maybe its the same issue, such as the "no-text"-issue in the tabs i mentioned above?)
- in the sms tab sometimes, there is "(null)" instead of the date...in the mail app this "(null)" is ALWAYS shown instead of the date...
- where can i download themes for m2d and add it in the m2d configuration tool?
- and is it normal, that i have to overwrite the background-png in the "manilaGFX" folder to gain my own background in m2d??
please help, manila2d is so beautiful

Dude, I know that you are confused, but everything is in the Manilla thread.
This thread shouldn't be opened.
the plugin (application) in my opinion would best meet all your requirement is wad 2, eventhough it is not free but you can download a trial version. it is highly customizable and you can find some very beautiful and modern looks. this is best application if you want to replace your desktop.
p.s recommended for advanced users only

OEM: 3.13
SYS: BlackStone Official ROM
XIP: Ported from Blackstone
ULDR Trimmed to have more storage space
Patched XIP Modulle for removing cert/signed issues
(You can install old and unsigned programs without problem)
MAIN Feature:
This ROM can be dumped and recooked. Unlike many of the cooks, no RGU have been deleted. No DSM has been deleted. And most of all, the ROM has not been crippled against dumping by deleting IMGFS signatures. So feel free to dump and modify upto your taste. And share the knowledge with the community. We can improve more by sharing the knowledge than keeping it secret.
This project is open an that's the way it should be.
Page Pool Size: 12Mb
St.Memory Size: Free xxMB Total xxMB
Prog.Memory Size: Free xxMB Total xxMB
HighLights:
- Fast user response
- UC 2.0 Compliant
- Faster than previous builds
- 3D Drivers

Screenshots from Release V1.6
V1.6 Release Note:
(1) Pro & Lite using Opal Dialer (without Video Calling)
*Lite comes with a few basic apps and without M2D!
(2) If WiFi Icon in Commmanager is not enable by default and in this case not shown, use Schaps Advanced Config (Settings\acessories) to bring it up!
(3) Adding new weather cities: Read this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1917678&postcount=1
(4) If Random Access not show correctly, apply CAB attached - NEW!
(5) ActiveSync PainKiller # Post 372
Also, add replog.exe in exclusive list, soft reset and see if it works.
(6) There are 2 Camera albums in the ROM. The default album is the one from Jade and works as it should be.
The 2nd one is from Blackstone and the folder preview (with all pictures is a bit messed but single picture preview is perfect, but only portrait) but this one has the option to upload pictures to Facebook and video to Youtube. I'm shure there will be a fix for this soon
Blackstone version is called "Album Uploader".
Known Bugs:
- None so far
General Procedures: (Please Read before updating)
- Install RADIO 1.59.xx.xx or higher.
- Remove SD card before update!
- Before asking, attention to details
- There is no Radio or extended rom... JUST OS!
- You MUST install HARD SPL before going over a custom ROM.
Installation:
How to install a cooked ROM.
Install HARD SPL[/url]
Put device in bootloader mode.
Run Polaris_CustomRUU.exe and good luck.
- High recommend to reflash an official rom before flash this one.
- If you change some thing, you have to wait for a minute before restarting to make sure the device get your changes.
- Last but not least....again, do not ask me why I did not put such app or why I chose this or that. If you feel like I am missing something cool or left an application behind...PM a message with such suggestions. No problem.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Part 1 of 2
Keyboards and SIPs
Q. I changed my Keyboard setting to another language but now the keyboard is blank!
A. You didn't install the language files or configure them properly... See the answer in the next question.
Q. I want to change the keyboard language to a non-English one.
A. Install the languages from this link[/url]. When finished, go to Settings->Input->Full QWERTY->Options. and select the language you wish to use.
Q. How do I make my keyboard always use T9 without having to manually set it each time, especially whenever I create a new Contact/Appointment/Message (default is ABC currently)?
A. Download the applicable CAB file from here[/url].
Q. How do I enable the old drop-down style of Word Completion for the keyboard, block recognizer, etc.?
A. Read this post[/url].
Q. How do I enable Letter Recognizer and Block Recognizer in the input menu?
A. Open the registry and change the following:
For letter recognizer:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429690-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}\IsSIPInputMethod]"Default"="1"
For block recognizer:
Code:
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{42429691-AE04-11D0-A4F8-00AA00A749B9}\IsSIPInputMethod]"Default"="1"
Q. Is Transcriber found in this ROM?
A. No. You can search, or else try the one found here[/url].
TouchFLO Tweaks
Q. I want to slide through Contacts smoothly with my fingernail.
A. In the registry, change HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\FingerPressure to 5000 or higher. Or simply start Advanced Configuration (found in Onyx Ultimate), go to HTC TouchFLO options and change Finger Pressure from there.
Customizing Manila 2D
Q. I want to change the Manila 2D clock or skin.
A. Clocks and Skins thread is here![/url]
Install themes with the M2D Customizer tool[/url].
If you just want an analog clock on top of the existing theme, just copy the settings file found in this post[/url].

A. Unzip and install the attachment at the end of this post.
Q. How do I change the left and right soft keys on the Home tab??

Other Manila 2D Related Questions
Q. I have lots of Manila-related questions not answered in this FAQ.
A. I won't be able to answer those questions, so please consult this thread[/url].
Q. I don't like Manila 2D.
A. Then you can install Lite version.
Q. YouTube videos are slow and choppy.
A. In Youtube, go to the video settings menu (gear-shaped icon on the top right), and select 'Fast Download'. The image quality will be reduced but the playback will be much better.
Q. Chinese fonts don't show up in M2D or in my other programs.
A. Check this post[/url] for the solution.
Q. Windows Media Player or Audio Manager stops playing music when I turn off the device.
A. Use the included psShutXP to turn only the backlight off, so your music will play uninterrupted. (Note: a faster way to launch psShutXP is to hold down the power button for a few seconds)

A. Follow the procedure here[/URL].
Q. In the Photos tab, photos can't be seen in full screen and Slideshow doesn't work.
A. Click on the "Album" soft key on the lower left, then select a folder and set it as your Favourite. Now when you go back to Manila you will see it working.
Q. The Alarm indicator on the Home tab says it is off even though I set the alarm.
A. If an alarm is coming up within 24 hours then it will show on the Home tab.
Q. During a reboot the, SIM's PIN code prompt closes after a few seconds, and then TouchFLO starts up.
A. This is a known issue with Manila 2D, not the ROM. You can access the PIN code again when you start up the dialer.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) - Part 2 of 2
Other Questions
Q. How do I increase the ring volume?
A. Go to the registry, and find the following parameter: HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN\EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED. Change it to a value between 67 (default) and 77 (maximum recommended) and then reboot. Don't go so high that it blows out your speaker!
Q. How do I increase the in-call volume?
A. Go to the registry, and find the following parameter: \HKCU\ ControlPanel\ SoundCategories\ InCall\ AttenuationCategory. Change it to 0 (a value of 2 makes it quieter) and then reboot.
Q. My SMS messages suddenly disappeared after I tried to restore them with PPCPimBackup!
A. Don't restore your SMSes while the Messaging application is open. Ensure it is terminated with the Task Manager.
Q. I want to install Cyberon Voice Speed Dial on my Onyx Jr.
A. See this post[/url].
Q. I want threaded SMS.
A. Run the Advanced Configuration tool and change the option under Messaging.
OR set registry: \HKCU\ Software\ Microsoft\ Inbox\ Settings\ OEM\ SMSInboxThreadingDisabled = 0.
Q. I cannot enable Wi-Fi in Comm Manager while it is connected to USB ActiveSync.
A. Go to Settings->Connections->USB to PC and uncheck "Enable advanced network functionality".
Q. How do you zoom and rotate pics in HTC Album?
A. Use your fingertip: Stroke a full circle to zoom, and stroke a semi-circle to rotate.
Q. PPC PIM Backup is really, really slow.
A. This is the answer from user blasev:
Quote:
It does happen with all M2D user. To reproduce, u must run opera 5 -10 minutes then "accidentally" run audio manager by clicking the music icon. on elf it means 10MB memory left. 10MB=eternal slowness .
In other words, reset your device so that memory is cleared before PPC PIM Backup is started.
Also, in my own testing, on MOST ROMs, I have noticed that after restoring my PIMs, usually my device slows down so I have to do a soft reset to fix it.
Landscape Mode
Q. I want to view Google Maps, Excel, etc. in Landscape view from my Manila 2D shortcut, but it won't let me because M2D is always in Portrait mode.
A. Here's a trick: Go to Settings->Buttons, assign Button 1 to Rotate Screen. So when you open your program from M2D, just hit the button to rotate. When you close the program, the device automatically shifts back to portrait mode as it returns to M2D

Well,probably it is possible to add a battery icon,but I have to contact developer of this program. I think that the upgraded version of this program is currently in stage of development,so we will see.
We just need some more patience. And there will always be some tweak that we will need.
this is one of my favorite apps- easiest in call recording option ive ever found! thank u sooo much-
