Larger buttons on dialer needed

I'm wondering if there is a way, maybe through a third party app, to make the buttons on the phone dialer larger. It's kind of a pain to dial while driving and I don't have large hands either.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks,
Tom

Don´t ask, try yourself! :roll: WM2005 is on the Vario/Wizard!

Im gettin tired of buying apps. Is there a freeweeeh app out like this one?

Yes, but ME software PhonePlus III does not work in landscape mode. The bottom buttons get hidden in landscape. Works though in Portrait. I therefore object to the developers claim that this is fully WM5 compatible. It is only partially compatible.
Kind Regards

You can create your own buttons and experience with the size.
All you need you'll find it in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skins and in Windows directory.
Only thing to remember: you can't override the BMPs in windows directory so create your own directory and save your modified BMPs there. Then change the path to this files in registry and it will work.
Only thing i could change so far is the colour of the Indellidialer because i can't find a link to this BMPs and files in windows directory are locked.
I changed my colors last night in a quick way for testing and now my own skin looks like this:

In windows directory there are several bmp files. I copied them to my desktopn and had a look with explorer preview on them. I identified the bmp files needed by dialer skin and changed the color.
Created a new directory on my mda vario (i.e. PhoneSkin) and copied the modified files back. YOu can't override the installed files in windows directory because they are flagged as ROM files and can't be deleted.
In the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin there are two entries (DIALER and PROGRESS) and each of them with landscape and portrait.
There you can find entries for the several buttons with a link to the files. Cahnge the link to your modified files and after a softreset you'll have your own colours.

Sorry but I can't find that registry entry in my Qtek.
I only have 2 entrys : Enebled and ext.
I already used photoshop to enlarge the buttons with 10% but I can't get them into smartdailer now.
I would also be happy with the layout that shows up for the passwordentry at startup. that one is verry clear and big.

phone pluss great but not compatable
there claim of compatability is fake....its a cool software but momen i dial a number i am back to the old dialer skin...so i have to keep shuffling which is a caos...besides i had aalocated a hardware button call to phonepluand tok ages to just opn the software....
when dialing is on t9 then why not sm...i liked the sms feature but when it came to using it...it was a big problem without t9 featre...i iked the softarefor big buttons but deleted it now...not worth....till they fix bugs...ucan still gie it try

Skinning The WM2K3 Phone Dialer Interface
This is UGLY and RAW.... but it works!
I own a Blue Angel (Cingular - Siemens SX66) & it's running Windows Mobile 2003 SE on it in Landscape Mode.
The Solution; My Solution:
------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 1: Copy & Paste / Drag & Drop (Part 1) ----
-------------------------------------------------------------
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere and call it "Original Phone Dialer Images"
Copy over the the following Phone Dialer .gif images from the windows directory of your phone to the directory you just made on your PC:
clg_dlrbtn.gif
clg_dlrbtnd.gif
clg_dlrbtnd_land.gif
clg_dlrbtnd_sqre.gif
clg_dlrbtn_land.gif

spd_dlrbtnd_sqre.gif
spd_dlrbtn_land.gif
spd_dlrbtn_sqre.gif
---------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 2: ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR DATA!!!!! ----
---------------------------------------------------------
Once all of the image files are copied over to your pc create a .ZIP file of this directory.
If you have WinZip installed, right-click on the folder, left-click "Add to Original Phone Dialer Images.zip"
NOTE: this zip file is your backup of the original image files!!!
Once you have your ZIP file nicely tucked away where you won't lose it proceed to the fun part!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 3: Find your Inner Child and hand him a paint brush! ---
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open up your favorite image editor (I used Adobe Photoshop CS2)
Load each image 1 at a time into your image editor.
Be sure to take note of the size of the button inside the image, my advice is to match it quite closely.
After you edit an image YOU MUST save it as the same file type and same name.
Once you have modified all of your images to your liking close your image editor.
------------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 4: Be a 1337 HAX0R! (if only for a moment) ---
------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok this part will require a 3rd party application, what you will need to do is kill the "cprog.exe" process. This is the Phone process.
To accomplish this I used the program "Pocket Controller-Professional 5.04", which you can download for free (demo version):
The File: http://www.soti.net/files/PCPro504Setup.exe
The Site: http://www.soti.net
Once installed, execute the program, connect to your phone.
Once connected, at the top of the Pocket Controller interface there is a horizontal "Main Menu".
On the Main Menu click "Tools", then within the Tools menu click "Task Manager"
Once Task Manager is open highlight "cprog.exe" and click the "Kill Process" button.
-------------------------------------------------------------
--- STEP 5: Copy & Paste / Drag & Drop (Part 2) ---
-------------------------------------------------------------
Locate the folder with all of your modified saved images & copy them back into the Windows directory on your phone, when prompted, choose "Yes to All" to overwrite the originals.
-------------------------------------------
--- STEP 6: SMILE! SMILE! SMILE! ---
-------------------------------------------
Once all the files are copied back over to your phone make a phone call & look at the nice pretty colors. Call your best friend and tell them how some wild and crazy guy just hooked you up and taught you how to tweak your phone!
Included are 2 screen shots taken using Pocket Controller's Screen Capture command. the ONLY thing i did to them was to black out my area code
(and for those paying attention, included in my list of files are more than just the dial pad files.... )
- John

So... does doing this "trick" will enlarge the button?
Or just changing the color...

4 Sided Cube! It Works!

THIS IS FOR THE SPRINT TOUCH ONLY! (HTC VOGUE)
Well, it took me a couple of days, but I've finally been able to get a working 4-sided cube! Here's a screenshot and the details.

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
SideA - Quick Dial App
SideB - Mini Media Hub
SideC - App Launcher
SideD - 8 button App Launcher
I've also uploaded an alternate D0.brn. Just put it in your \Windows folder and it will be the background for the 4th side.
Now comes the nitty gritty.
DO NOT INSTALL THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE SOME EXPERIENCE WITH CUBE REGISTRY EDITS!
Basically what this CAB will do is:
- create an APLauncher2.exe in your Windows directory
- create an APLauncher2 folder in your registry
- install the Blank Cube animation provided by storyr
- Create another 8 button App launcher (fourth side) to the HTC Cube that will appear after the first App Launcher
This will NOT:
-change your Media Hub icons or Registry Values
-change your Quick Dial icons or registry values
-change you App Launcher icons or registry values
In the second App Launcher some buttons are assigned, some are not. To assign them you must edit their registry values (which is why I say you should have a basic knowledge of Cube registry editing to install this)
1. WM Player
2. Not Assigned ( I don't have opera mobile installed)
3. Not Assigned
4. Not Assigned
5. FR Notepad
6. Not Assigned
7. HTC Home Customizer
8. Not Assigned
Registry values can be found at
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher2>App0-App7
Another issue is that with the new side, individual icons cannot be shown for some reason, so to edit the icons you have to edit the D0.brn. in other words, all the icons are on one image, which to me makes it easier to change a whole page of icons, but it also means there are no "highlighted" icons, either. The text flashes when you press the button, but that is all. Other than that it works perfectly!
This is a big CAB because it replaces all of the animations for your Cube as well as adding a new side.
Hope you guys enjoy!

Nice. i'll try it out.

ok I loaded this app and it is working fine, how do I change the registory to the program I want to launch. I know how to change settings in the registory but I don't know what values. Like if I want to launch a golf game instead of opera, can I do that and where do I get the values for the new registory entry. And thern I have to change the icon in the (pic) file for the 4th side, what program would I use.
I hope I at least have the concept straight, if the info is posted in other forums, like for the wizard or hermes....... can I follow those instructions or should I stick to what I see here?
Thanks for the working program

hey there,
i've a xda star - a nike variant with a 4 sided cube. i've attached a .reg file with which you can add the animation.

to change the programs, the registry values are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch>APLauncher2>App0 -App7>Path
change the value of path to the location of the program. For example, for the button to open GoogleMaps, the path value would be "\Program Files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe" without the quotes.
to edit the background (D0.brn), search this forum for BMP to brn convert. convert the brn to a bmp and then edit it, convert it back to a brn and put it in your \Windows folder on your device.

Would you mind posting the reg values for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Biotouch ?
I think it might help in making the 4th side customizable. Thanks in advance!

why not for touch black ? 3450

I am wrong or Sprint touch is the same of htc touch p3450 ?

works with Bell HTC touch ??
Anyone has tried the 4 sided cube on the Bell HTC Touch ?
If not, I think I ll give it a shot...

hello
I have to install the cab I have rebooter but I always have my old cube why?
thank you

I used Cube Configuration Tool from thisguyinoc's and you can find it in the forums or at ppcgeeks.com Its a cap and it gives me the option 6 side cube option and it also makes it easy to set your applications anywhere you want to include the 3 app side. You can set your own icons or you can get some from this site..

[5/4/2009 - New beta!] (Sticker) Wheee skin!

[size=+1]Now Wheee! Lite Edition too, for use with UltimateLaunch![/size]​
Screenshot:
[size=+1]Download the package here:[/size]
rapidshare
This theme is QVGA only!​
Instructions:
1) Download and install the latest version of Homescreen++! The theme won't work with BatteryStatus!
2) Extract the archive you downloaded (Wheee_v2.71.rar). Copy the "Wheee" folder and the "Wheee.xml" & "Wheee (lite edition).xml" files to your Homescreen++ directory. Open the "Storage Card" folder, and copy the "Wheee" folder you find there to your Storage Card.
3) Customize your skin. Sadly, it is not very easy to customize HS++ skins, but I have tried to make it a little easier. Open the Wheee.xml file with any text editor, and after the lines where you see "EDIT:", edit the paths to programs or plugins with the ones you want. You also have to set up a weather plugin - I use WeatherPanel with the Diamond skin by Rumball (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401781), I will make a Sticker skin for WeatherPanel too when I find some time. Customizing the Lite Edition of the skin is much easier, you only need to change 2-3 paths.
4a) If you want the full Wheee! theme, enable HS++ as the only Today item, go into HS++ settings and choose the Wheee theme, you're done! Also remember to check all the "extra" indicators in HS++ settings.
or,
4b) For the Lite Edition of the theme, go into HS++ settings and choose the Wheee (lite edition) theme. Remember again to check all the "extra" indicators for HS++, and use HomeScreen++ in the Home tab of your UltimateLaunch setup. You're done!

[size=+1]Original Wheee![/size]
Hello,
Super sorry to all people that PMed me about the theme, I didn't notice I had messages until today.
Here's a screenshot of the theme again:
And I'll try to give some instructions, but I don't think it's going to be very easy as I'm not good at explaining and the skins were made for my phone, so you will have to change some things. Anyway!
First, download the awesome Sticker icons pack from IconFactory. It's what inspired me to make the skin, many thanks to the icon creator! You can get it here: http://iconfactory.com/search/?q=Sticker
Then, to get the skin looking like my screenshot, you need to hide the softkeys. This worked for me, credits to original programmer: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392804
It's not 100% needed for the skin, but I also advise you to at least get the "Segoe UI" font. I am not allowed to post it here, but search for it on Google or some torrent site, I'm sure you will find it easily. Then copy it to Windows\Fonts on your device, and soft reset. There's an excellent guide somewhere on the forum on how to make it the system skin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1730428&postcount=21).
Then, install my BatteryStatus theme (attached below). Just unzip the archive, and copy the folder and the xml files to your BatterStatus folder. Then go to BS Options, Advanced and choose the "Wheee" Theme-File. Also, you should UNcheck "show wifi-rows", no space for that. Go to the "TrayLaunch" tab and uncheck "TrayLaunch" too.
You might have to make some changes to the xml file for the skin to fully work on your pc. For example, my alarm program is pTravelAlarm, installed in the storage card, and the path is hard-coded into the XML. Change it to your alarm program exe. Same with setVolume - I have installed it on the storage card, change the path to what you like.
Then the Ultimate Launch settings. I can't post a file here (I don't think I can export them), but here are the settings I use:
Display tab: Margins: 2 Pixel, Fixed plugin-height: checked, 271 Pixel, colorize background: color 0, blurring 2, tab headers position: bottom.
Animation tab: Slide Animation: Slide, Click Animation: Slide, Animation Duration: 300 msec.
Headers tab: Height: 50 Pixel, Show grid: UNchecked, Inactive tabs transparent: UNchecked, blurring of inactive tabs: Low.
Behavior tab: Return to start tab: checked, after 1 minutes.
XP-Icon options tab: Size: 48 Pixel.
Then,
Tabs, uh, tab: Create a new tab "Combination of tabs", with the icon for "Home" and no name. Check "Open tab on startup". Inside that tab, create a "Today-plugin" tab named "Home", and choose the BatteryStatus plugin. Also create a shortcuts-tab named whatever you want, and in it: create a "Margin", with the options: Line break UNchecked, Horizontal: 30 Pixel, Vertical: 0 Pixel. Then, create an "Application Launcher", with XP-Icon of your choice (this is the little dinosaur that announces the missed calls / SMS!) and set the "Command" to: \Windows\tmail.exe and the "Parameter" to: -service "SMS". Go to "Display", and choose: "Item Alignment": Left. Click ok/ok/ok to get back to the main UltimateLaunch settings, and add any other tabs you'd like (programs, weather plugin, etc etc).
EDIT, 2/7/2008: As it seems most people want the bluetooth and wifi icons to toggle bt/wifi on click, there's an updated Wheee.xml file that does that in post #55!

Thanks, looks perfectly!

Thanks so much! This theme is very good

Great skin, thanks for sharing.
Hmm.. It would be better if you remove the taskbar or change the taskbar color to match with your skin..
Just an idea..

Yes, I'll do it sooner or later, but for now don't wanna start messing with Wisbar. Maybe I'll just change it to something different than black. What I want is to completely hide or skin it though. Thanks for the idea!
Also, I just saw this thread (http://macthemes2.net/forum/viewtopic.php?id=16783495&p=1) (thanks extraducksauce!) and it gave me some ideas, so I made a couple new backgrounds. Here they are: (screenshot, then background file)

And best for me:
Sorry for the double post, forum didn't let me use more than 4 pictures in each post.

lol,so cute!~~~
I love it!~~

Thanks! Nearly made it! But I don't see how to make the dialog above the little dinosaur displaying the missed calls and unreaded sms... Also, do the bluetooth and wifi signs act as buttons or are they just indicators?

The missed calls and unread sms are displayed by BatteryStatus. If you don't have any missed stuff, it will show nothing! Try sending an SMS to your mobile, or calling and not answering, the correct bubble should appear.
The bluetooth and wifi are just indicators, but that's a personal preference (it's hard to click them with thumb), you can turn them into buttons very easily. Just edit Wheee.xml with Notepad, scroll to the bottom, find the line:
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80"/>
and change it to this:
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80" ontap="ToggleWiFi"/>
Same for Bluetooth a little further, but ontap="ToggleBluetooth". Should work!
Also, here are some Bluetooth / WIFI icons I made if you want to set up a Settings panel for UltimateLaunch. I only created them in 48x48 size though. Wifi antenna is taken from DeviantArt, I stuck it onto a sticker button.
(You have to download the .ico files to make these work with UltimateLaunch)

I'll change the Toggle wifi and Bluetooth, but anyway, I didn't get it on the screen...same for missing calls/sms, I didn't get it..(and as you can see in the top bar, I have some...)
Is there also a way to toggle profile ? by pushing this pink halfball ?
Anyway, how to come back to normal Alarm, standard windows...?

Thanks! Nearly made it! But I don't see how to make the dialog above the little dinosaur displaying the missed calls and unreaded sms... Also, do the bluetooth and wifi signs act as buttons or are they just indicators?

same questions,and I guess that the little dinosaur is on the backgoud.

Aaah, I see what is wrong now. Click and hold on the clock, select "Show Rows" and make sure all the rows are checked, especially "Messages".
The dinosaur is not on the background, it's an UltimateLaunch button. You can click on it, and it opens your SMS.
About Bluetooth and WiFi, I don't know because I haven't tried that on my mobile. I'll try it and tell you.
If you want to get back to your old home screen, it's easy, just select your old BatteryStatus theme or go to the Settings menu and un-select UltimateLaunch.
About toggling profiles: if you have SetVolume installed, find this line on the XML:
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="StartApp" path="Storage Card\Program Files\SetVolume\SetVolume.exe">
And change the path to where you have SetVolume installed. When you click on the "pink half-ball" SetVolume will launch.
Ah, also, forgot to mention it before, but if you want the skin to be useful, you should assign some gestures too. For example, I have no button for contacts, so I have set as a "downwards" gesture in the first UltimateLaunch tab to open iContact. Same for the second tab, it launches "All Programs".
edit: ALSO, one addition to the UltimateLaunch instructions! Open the settings, and on the tab with the dinosaur, go to Display. "Item Alignment" should be LEFT! Sorry, I forgot that before, so many settings for UL

I change all regarding what you said and get :
Bluetooth / Wifi are not toggling
Dinosaur link is not working
and problem of screen

All right. Don't know yet about BT / WIFI, but about the rest:
Screen problem: you have not removed the softkey bar... That's why there is not enough space for the screen setup. Refer to the first post if you want to remove the softkeys, or if you don't want to remove them: play a little with UltimateLaunch options (especially "Display" in general settings, and "Display" for the dinosaur sub-tab). Also, have you added a "Margin" before the dinosaur in the dinosaur tab? Should be 30 pixels horizontal, no line break.
About the dinosaur link not working. Maybe it's because your Windows are french? What's the tmail.exe location, should be \Windows\tmail.exe, try removing the "parameter" from the dinosaur button and if that opens up your Outlook we'll see from there.
Last, I guess you didn't install the "Segoe UI" font?

in fact, I didn't remove the softbar, but even when I did, it was like this
yes I add the margin, but 25, now I recognize what is the goal of this margin, I'll adjust it...
for the tmail, is it the same location in french , without any parameter, i open the windows where I have to look. I'll change the link to make it open pocketcm
and last but not least, didn't try to change the font for the moment...

No need to change it! Just add the font to your "Windows\Fonts" directory and soft-reset. Nothing will change for system fonts, but the SMS and call messages (for my BatteryStatus skin) will be in that font, and will look nicer.
Try playing with the fixed plugin-height value too in UL settings, lower it and see what happens. Damn, I wish UL had an export theme feature!
Last, tmail.exe -service "SMS" works for me... dunno what you need to change for that. Since you use PocketCM, it's ok I guess.

I'll do it
I play with fixed height, but also top / bottom and left / right margin to move the dinosaur, and the bottom tab-header
and link to pocketcm is great
I just miss now the toggle wifi and bluetooth
by the way, do u have a UL registered version or ?
and what about Segoe UI font ? can you pm me ?
I didn't find it...:'(

About the Bluetooth and WiFi toggles: they work, I'm just an idiot and gave wrong instructions before
The ontap="" stuff must be added to the line before (Item class="registry_tracker"), not the one I posted. So:
Find:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker">
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80"/>
and change to:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="ToggleWiFi" onhold="MenuWiFi">
<image src="wifimini%d.png" top="-8" left="80"/>
Find:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker">
<image src="bluemini%d.png" top="23" left="-23"/>
and change to:
Code:
<Item class="registry_tracker" ontap="ToggleBluetooth" onhold="MenuBlueTooth">
<image src="bluemini%d.png" top="23" left="-23"/>

Manila 2d in one cab!

View attachment 209201Well, i want more people to get into M2D cause its really awesome and helpful with those shortcuts right on your homescreen.
Many people say that there is too much to install and too many resets to do and don't want to take the risk of installing and blah.
So igrabbed all the m2d cab files programs and created one big cab file out of all combined cabs.
The cab will give you the Manila 2D engine, Today Screen Tab, Contacts Tab, SMS Tab, Email Tab, Htc Album, Weather Tab, Maps Tab, Programs Tab and a default blue layout that works.
READ:
This is NATIVELY SET FOR RealVGA AT 96DpI. READ BELOW TO USE FOR NATIVE RESOLUTION WITHOUT REAL VGA.
Instructions-
Install the Manila 320Square cab file (from gigasize)
Install 14.2D Maila Engine because it is the latest engine (REQUIRED)
Soft Reset
Install M2DC (Manila 2D Customizer)
I FOUND YOU MUST INSTALL THE BELOW TRANSFORMERS THEME AND FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS BECAUSE THAT IS THE BASIS OF MANY OTHER THEMES I WILL BE BUILDING.
If you want to use this at native resolution (128Dpi)
Just download the HTCHomeSettings Zip and extract HTC Home Settings.XML, Go to Settings>Today> Uncheck TouchFlo> copy HtcHomeSettings.XML to your Windows directory Folder and then go and turn on touch flo and your set.
Here it is.

For HTC Camera Album (FULLSCREEN)
Install This and the paste the xml files in the zip to your windows directory folder.
View attachment 209202
I have to give "Props" out too-
Kraski (whom without i would probably not have been able to find the BIG cab. and his work on finding themes)
Courtez (who inspired me to look more into Manila 2D and get it working good)
Folks at XDA for their works and programs
Lancerz (for helping me get things right and sticking through when the 1st cab did not display properly at 128dpi)
I did not make any of the software so i just deserve thanks for finding it and bundling it together lol.
KNOWN ISSUES FOLKS:
Dialing directly from the homescreen does not work when you install this, but that can be thwarted by just pressing the green talk button and typing from there.
Double clicking the red button when in a different program while bring you back to the homescreen but will not lock the phone, instead you now have to hold the red button for a few secs (like two) but this can be done from anywhere.
UPATED
Download the 14. 2D Manila Engine (FIXES PROBLEM WITH NO HAVING TOUCHFLO OPTION IN TODA SCREEN)
THAT IS THE LAST KINK I HADTOWORK OUT FOLKS SORRY. EVERYTHING SHOULD WORK 100 % BECAUSE ITSTEDTHIS UT OVER 2 HARD RESETS JUST FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CLOSELY!!

Open this zip with the Transformers Theme and then open the Projecttransformers.m2dc file with M2DC and then this is crucial IF YOU ARE NOT USING RealVGA.
DOWNLOAD THE HTC HOME SETTINGS FROM THE ORIGINAL POST and copy to your windows driectory.
This theme was originally for use with RealVGA so the only thing that will be messed up no matter what is the FlipClock which you would have to delete unless you would want a messedd up flip clock .
The only thing you have to do to delete the flip clock (if you are not using realvga) is
-Unzip this folder and copy to your windows directory and then it will say replace? click yes to all or whatever and then dont quit the windows directory! reselect the files you just posted there and delete them this will only affect the flipclock so no worries.

Intimidating Red Theme (128dpi Natively)[MADE BY ME KOOLCDJ69]
To install just download the zip file, open M2DC, point ""add theme"" to wherever you saved the zip file and then apply theme.
This zip file does not have any HTC Home Settings included so it will work with RealVGA because it will not change your RealVGA HTC Home Settings and should work.
http://www.mediafire.com/file/wltiu4wwina/Intimidating Red.m2dct.zip

Ive followed as many steps as I could (which, in my opinion are very sloppy), and The 'taskbar' fits the screen, but M2D is still not the correct resolution. How is this resolved? Things are all truncated and messy looking...

Are you sure the app is working fullscreen? I never found a place into the .exe where to hexedit the picture dimensions so to fit a 320x320 screen. I only see a part of my screen used by the Album app (when you really open a picture: initial thumbnails are ok).

Manilla on Palm Treo Pro
I dd excatly what is written
Unfortunately, tabs does not appear dispite manaaging them whith manilla customizer
Any idea ?
Marco

To Marcox912, it depends what tab your trying to use. What tab isn't appearing for you?
And to Topogigi, yes, the htc camera album isnt all fullscreen, only when you pick a picture it is fullscreen.
And to acidhax, are you sure you don't have realvga installed? and if not then download the htc home settings zip file and paste it into windows directory.

I installed the Manilla 2D and I love it thank you very much. However, I am having a little trouble with a couple things. First, on the weather tab it won't let me add a city because the words are all jumbled over the link. Second, on the mail tab part of the mail message is outside the envelope. Is this because I don't use the REAL VGA? Thanks for all the support.
P.S. Yes I have copied the .xml file over

I've download all your files except the "Manila320Square" and the "14. 2d.Manila.Engine-Beta-0.09.cab",i can not download them, and i don't know why,could you please send them to me by a e-mail:[email protected]

I had the same problem with the right side of the screen "sticking" when switching to a different tab. I copied the HTCHomeSettings.xml file to my window directory and voila all fixed. I know it says to only use this file if you are using 128 dpi but it worked for me at 96 dpi.
The clock was a bit messed up but by going into M2DC on the Home XML tab and unchecking the "enable analog clock" and "enable digital clock" clicking apply and then going back and reenabling them it worked fine.

hi,
I was wondering if you can elaborate on what you mean by copying the file to window directory. I have that same problem and I am about to give up unless I can get it fixed. Thank you!

Download the file in step 7 from the link above on your PC and extract it. Then copy the HTCHomeSettings.xml file to the Windows directory on your PPC - you may need to use RescoExplorer since you will need to overwrite the file already there.

Well, I am running into same problem. I am very green at this and gave it alot of thought to even install this because of the known issues of installing but I jumped in with both feet and am trying to give it a shot. I am having trouble with the .xml settings. I think I have installed everything, but adding the settings file to the phone has been not too easy for me. I have downloaded and opened up the settings file on my pc but are you suppose to to copy that whole long file and install it to the windows folder on the phone? I have a windows folder I can access from the phone but it doesn't show up when exploring the phone files from activesync so I am not sure what to do here.
It would be alot easier if the "windows folder" would show up on my pc while using activesync to explore files and folders on the phone.
HELP!!! PLEASE!!!

If you want to see ALL of the folders on your PPC through Windows Explorer on your PC you need to go into folder options in windows explorer and go to the VIEW tab and click the button next to show hidden files and uncheck the box that says Hide System Files. I don't believe that you can copy this file to Windows on your PPC this way though. I think you need to copy it to your PPC (storage card) first. Then on your PPC with Resco Explorer find the file and click and hold on the file. A submenu will pop up, choose MOVE and then choose the Windows folder. If it ask you to overwrite, choose yes.

Using SecondToday with Manila 2D
For anyone interested, I was able to set up SecondToday with TouchFlo 2D. I have it set up so TouchFlo is the default screen but by clicking by left softkey labeled Today I can switch to my original today screen that uses SPB PocketPlus with Weatherpanel on the home screen. If I want to go back to TouchFlo I click on my left softkey labeled Manila 2D. This gives me the benefits of TouchFlo but still gives me access to PocketPlus and Weatherpanel. I am then also to still utilize all of my previous Today plugins. See attached screenshots.

a few problems
a few problems. on the peoples tab i am unable to add any new contacts. on the internet tab the youtube app doesn't launch. on the weather tab i an unable to add any city. i also cannot add any programs on the program launcher.

What ROM are you using? The Cfay WM 6.5 rom?
Windows Mobile 6.5 and manila 2d don't work together. These problems your describing sound very specific to windows mobile to 6.5.
anyways, if your using 6.1, then go to treocentral.com and go to the treo pro forum there and there is a very updated manila 2d in one cab thread there that i made.
XDA isnt very friendly to us treo users

Hi Everyone,
I'm a recent owner of the Treo Pro and I absolutely love it. I love the fact that I've been able to download and use TouchFlo 2D.
The issue I'm having is, I am only able to use 2 themes. The default and 1 other theme that I downloaded. When I attempt to use any other themes, I run into the same problem. 1/4 of my screen on the right side is stuck. I've searched several forums and the answer that I've found has been to replace the HTCHomeSetting XML....I've done this several times and this has not fixed the problem. I was wondering if there is another solution out there that I have yet to try. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello...
This is my first Pro.
I am happy for your instructions here and I have followed all steps.
Everything seems to be working... but at weather tab, it is blank, to option to add city, no nothing, just blank.
What am I missing ?? please help. Thanks a lot.

looks very nice..
does it supports scribling a note with the stylus?

Thank you
At the moment it's not possible to draw with stylus..

Just gave you a little link love over at fuzemobility.com, mobilitydigest.com, and tiltmobility.com.
http://www.fuzemobility.com/take-note-of-this/

ooo thank you drjim very nice of you!

Thank you for a simple, but very nice finger friendly app. I like the color and font size on my VGA (Fuze) screen. And I appreciate the way TypeNotes "asks" before overwriting or deleting a note. I posted this info at Fuze Mobility but figured it would not hurt to add it here also.
I was sort of hoping that the app could open existing txt files (if I loaded them in TypeNote's default directory) but TypeNote can’t see the files. I was able to open a TypeNote txt file using PocketNotepad so….
-Create a new file in TypeNote using the same name as your existing txt file. Add one or two characters to the body just in case and save.
-Cut or copy your existing txt file into the \Program Files\TypeNote\Notes folder and overwrite the file you just created in the above step.
-You can now view and edit your existing txt file.
FYI: I tried adding my existing file and file name to the NoteList.txt file (located inside the TypeNote directory) but that did not work. The above steps work fine.
I keep network settings and other trivia in txt files on my desktop and like to have copies with me. The PocketNotepad and TC interfaces are not that friendly for viewing or editing.
One interesting note. When finger scrolling through a note it is very difficult (I couldn’t do it) to accidently highlight text, unless the SIP is opened. Don’t know how this works (something to do with sensitivity) but it is a very nice feature and would love to see it implemented in other apps. With a stylus I could highlight text with the SIP closed or open.
Also, Sensor Scroll works (you have to setup in SS Settings) and TypeNote works fine loaded to the storage card.

just loaded this on an ATT Fuze running EnergyROM 'Genesis' 20090905 and everything seems to work. perfect little note app, simple and easy. thanks!
edit: weird... just entered current time in a note and it's 14 minutes slow. time on home screen is normal

Interesting. I just checked on my Fuze and the time was 20 minutes behind; Fuze Home Screen 5:29 (17:29) and TypeNote 17:09. Not the end of the world, but a bit puzzling.

:09 minutes
It looks like regardless of what time it is, the minutes are always :09. The hour is correct (24hr). Like previously stated, no big deal.

It should open the file if you add it to the notes-folder and notelist.txt. For example if the file is called Network.txt.. copy it to the Notes folder, and add Network (without .txt) to the Notelist.txt file.
Will see what i can do about the scrolling thing..
And TypeNote should work wherever you put it actually Its coded in a way that it "sees" where it is. So feel free to move it where you want, just remember to fix the shortcut.

OK, I just tried copying a file into the folder and notelist.txt and this time it worked. I may have added .txt to the end of the filename (unlikely) the first time or maybe I just typed the filename wrong. Glad to see it works either way.
Should have clarified scrolling. Flick/finger scrolling works beautifully. I was referring to the scroll wheel on my Fuze. Adding TypeNote to SensorScroll (an app to facilitate scrolling) settings allows the scroll wheel to work. Regarding finger scrolling, after some additional testing I guess you can inadvertently select text if you keep your finger in one place for too long. But if you flick quickly or even move your finger slowly but not leave it in one place, text will not be selected which is a very good thing. I assume there is some time delay working there. Finger apps are great but too many of them allow your fingers to wreak havoc by selecting things unintentionally.
Whenever I test an app, I always check if it will run from the storage card. Some apps will load to main memory regardless of your selection and others will refuse to run if loaded to a storage card. Just a little added info.
Thanks,
JIM

Good job, simple and finger friendly.. Some nice things that could be added are:
- Auto-import of a directory containing .txt files. This would help in sync'ing the notes with a computer through Mobile Device Center/Activesync.
- Search
- Categories/folders
- A desktop version of the same app.
I currently use Tombo ( http://tombo.sourceforge.jp/En/ ) which is NOT very finger friendly, but has all these niceties and also support encryption of individual notes. Since it is open source, it might be helpful perusing its source code.

Hi,
that´s something I´ve been waiting for very long - thanks!
Some suggestions:
- The list of notes isn´t really fingerfriendly yet...maybe you can use graphics here as well ?
- Folders
- Sending the text of a note via SMS or Email
- Backup-functionality
- Online-service / desktop-app...both would mean quite a lot of work but especially a way to get the notes online would be really really awesome!
Anyway, keep it up

Backup/sync to desktop is easy: Activesync will do it for you.
Tombo (for link see two posts above) will work as the desktop-app (it has both WinMob and Windows versions).

Hi,
that´s something I´ve been waiting for very long - thanks!
Some suggestions:
- The list of notes isn´t really fingerfriendly yet...maybe you can use graphics here as well ?
- Folders
- Sending the text of a note via SMS or Email
- Backup-functionality
- Online-service / desktop-app...both would mean quite a lot of work but especially a way to get the notes online would be really really awesome!

Thank you!
What do you mean when saying that the list isn't fingerfriendly? Size of text,scrolling ??
I've been working on some changes, and so far this is what i have done:
No longer uses .net 3.5.. now runs on .net 2
Categories, with management
Add new
Rename
Delete
All notes separated by category (for ex. \Notes\ToDo\Shopping.txt)
Reads all .txt files from Notes-folder instead of using a list-file.
Lists are sorted alphabetically.
Text in note can be temporarily resized to better fit the screen (makes it easier to type in landscape mode)
Still working on it though, so will put it here when its ready.

Cool!
Sorting by date would be very useful too.

damn.... what's that taskbar theme? looks sweet!

Suggestion
Just an idea, to add the possibility to send notes via email?

It would be nice to be able to specify the storage directory for the notes (I would like to have them in Storage Card\My Documents\Notes or something like that).
