[Req]New Tab for Manila

I've read through a lot of posts, I used already the search function, I know that Google it's my friend, so on...
BUT, I badly need a way to make today agenda as a new tab for tf3d/manila (e.g. instead of call history tab).
Any help would be welcome (a cab file... my dream... ).
Thank you in advance.

I think allot of people want custom tabs
It is currently being worked on by D-MAN666 and sushilange (the guys that made us the fantastic Manila Editor!)
So hopefully soon there will be some custom tabs for TouchFlo!!

Thanx, would be great

Tasks tab would be a great start htc tasks icon is already available.
Running Omnipresence within the tabs would be out of this world crazy cool.

The icon is only for the landscape menu on the touch pro.

Action Screen Tab!
Wow... Look what I managed to to!!

The TouchPro Action Screen In it's own tab...
If I only could figure out how to rotate it and change the tab icon...!
Just add this to 26948339_manila
Code:
<Page Order="11" Name="LandscapeMenu.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Action" >
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\LandscapeMenu.mode9" Component="LandscapePageComponent" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Preview" />
</Page>

Wow that's really great
Altough I Don't know how we could edit the icon for this tab, I've seen that there is a tab-icon for the CommManager (42d367fd_manila).
Could it be that there is also a hidden tab for the CommManager?

Does not work for me, ...

Here's the commmanager... but I dont think it looks that nice...
Code:
<Page Order="12" Name="communications.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_COMMUNICATIONS]]" >
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\settings.mode9" Component="CommunicationsPageComponent" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Preview" />
</Page>
I think we have to figure out the name mode9 name of the icon...
so instead of Component="Programs_Off" It would be Component="CommManager_Off" or Component="Action_Off"
@Rotkaeqpchen
What happens?

Yes, it really look's not so nice
But if we change the color font in the CommManager from black to white, than it's not so bad.

Action Screen is the Landscape Mode menu indeed. And for Comm Manager - nice finding, will dig it up for new API functions!

That would be very cool

Update:
I think i know why font color is wrong. It's not separate tab, but a modal dialog, which was lately replaced with standalone Comm Manager application. Same for Music Settings (which can be normally accessed from Music tab).

Hay.. Is it possible to have a tab of this sort, for tasks !!!???

Not able to copy updated manilla file to Dimaond Windows folder
Hi I updated 26948339_manila file for adding new tabs now when I try to copy it to my Diamond's Windows folder I'm unable to. gives me a error "Access is Denied". It seems the file on Diamond is read only as I cannot delete or rename it either. Please help advice.

Well, make this happen for all your themes, when I am on my Touch Pro and I slide out my keyboard... that's what I want to see

one of bepe's ROM's have that functionality activated, when rotating the device while in TF3D the action screen appeared.

If you use your arrows keys and highlight the items, you will find that the fonts and icons changes to white!!!

"Modded" isn't correct. It's just a scaled up QVGA skin. But I wonder why you did this. Resco Radio already has a VGA skin included. And that one looks better than a scaled up skin could ever do.

After you run the cab look in your programs folder in your device memory (device/programs) To assist you I reloaded my Resco Pocket Radio after removal and then ran the cab file I just downloaded from SkinZone.org when it asked me where to have it installed I picked "Storage Card" because that is where I have Resco Radio installed but I found the folder in my "Device" memory programs folder even though I picked "Storage Card". Now if this is where you find the folder just cut and paste the default folder your find there it into your (either "Device" or Storage Card" where ever you have the Resco Pocket Radio installed) Programs/Resco Pocket Radio/Skins and paste it overwriting the default folder. Now all you have to do is reboot and everything will look and function great, I just did it just now. If this doesn't work let me know...........later.

Thx drew2000 so much!!! Works perfectly and looks great...

Just trying to help

its cool to see you on here helping out SZ. much appreciated.

Annoying problem with text message and keyboard/pad

Hi, really hoping for a bit of help here, this driving me nuts.
I love the idea of threaded messages, but I have a problem with the keyboard overlaying the last text message in the thread, so i cannot see what i'm typing.
I have to click the keyboard symbol in the middle of the bottom part of screen to hide the keyboard/pad. Then click it again to bring it back in view, and only then does the message history/text move up the page and allow me to see blank section that the typed text is going to appear in.

Nobody else have this issue?......Just me

No, I have the same issue, keyboard on/off appears to be the only resolution as you indicated.
The other annoyance is you can't resize the lower input portion of the window into the upper response side of the window therefore leaving you with only two visible lines. Typically you could touch this line and move it up or down to suit.

hope they have a fix for this. i hate not knowing what I type.

its either that or the keyboard keeps jumping around.. or the list of msgs goes down so i cant even see the recent ones but the old ones..

Yeah it is a pain that the 'old' messages get more screen 'real-estate' than the message your actually typing out! Two lines of text then you gotta p**s about with tiny up/down scroll bar
Is this a HTC thing or a WM6.1 thing?
And if its HTC, can we log a complaint? Having the texting sorted is pretty fundamental on a mobile phone!
Mick

yay
i found a solution here u are hope it help. also change the font size
Hey... I assume you're talking about the threaded sms input space?
YOu can increase the space but will need to change the thread_sms.htm file. I've done that and it works fine. It was rather irritating to just see like one line of message text. Anyway... here is how to do it:
Here is howto:
1. Open Total Commander
2. Browse to the "Windows" folder
3. Find the file: thread_sms.htm
4. Press to edit with the little notebook below from Total Commander
You will see the following HTML Code:

Replace the height "35" with "90"
Like so:
height=35 to height=90
N.B. You can put the value as much as you want really....just see 35 as 2 text lines
The hack is really the same for all WM devices that are using threaded SMS and is not omnia specific but hopefully answers your question biggrin.gif

Hi,
I tried the trick proposed by Morgin187 but I still have the same problem as Gasman, meaning when the conversation is long with many replies I can not see the last ones as in Gasman picture...
Any other idea?

Same problem on my new FUZE
Same problem on my new FUZE. My Treo let me see much more of what I was typing, not the numerous threads of previous texts (which I don't really care about). I really would like to see a more lines of what I am typing (abigger window). I would like to try what Morgin187 proposed but what is "Total Commander?" Where do I find this folder on my FUZE with Mobile 6.1. Better yet, does anyone know if this programming fix really works? I don't see any posts that say it worked for them.

I can confirm that the solution morgin posted works.
If you search through this forum, you'll find a whole load of threads in which people have verified it works.
Total Commander is a free alternative file manager for WinMo handsets.
A couple of seconds on Google will find you a download link.

the problem i have is when i get a text an try to reply the keyboard when come up an go away then i when try to hit make the keyboard come back up again sometimes it will do the same thing. I also dont like that i can reply to a message but the phone still shows i have a new message

You go to reply to a text and the keyboard disappears, then when you tap on the text entry area, the keyboard pops up but disappears again, right?
The answer is don't tap on the text entry area, tap on the keyboard button along the bottom of the screen.

Thanks, yes once I installed the Total Commander cab I was able to edit the code as noted. After I saved the code change I didn't see any differnece in the space, but then I restarted the phone and the change was evident. Thanks again!

Ask Your Mother, Ask Your Father...

I have successfully managed to incorporate orientation changes into the Ticker Display!!! However, my part/know-how is done with... The coding for the rotation is in there, and it works great, however I need modified XML Layouts for the main Ticker display in LANDSCAPE... I wouldn't even know where to begin...
So basically, I would like it if when the phone is put into landscape, the main ticker display goes into landscape also! So, your job is here... Either you figure it out, or ask around, if you can take the main ticker display (standbymode.xml in framework-res.apk) and rotate it....
Right now, I have it set as my own custom text instead Pics:
I automatically made it go back to the default vertical view when you lock the phone...

awesome job as always!
Scavanger hunt time! Ill try and make some time to look into or redirect to what I find.
Questions:
1. The layout code (<Layout> etc) needed you say are ones for whatever you want to put on that screen ie shorcuts or even a ticker apk?
2. Thus needing deminisions and actions and parameters?
I need hints lol

Thanks man! and haha, alright sounds good!
And the only thing that needs to be done is just rotating the Layouts, TextViews, and ImageViews of the main ticker Display, NOT the code for them! The code for them is already stored within the Services file, thanks to me, but they need to be properly defined! So basically, take this:

and make it for ONLY Landscape, so it is forced into that position!
Oh, and important side note for any and all developers, I cleaned up the standbymode XML, so that all of the layouts (vertical, horizontal, quick launch, sleep mode) aren't being called in the same place... Instead, they are being branched out into specific sub-XMLs... So, for the vertical view, the file where the layout is stored is now "standbymode_default_vertical." This is all just behind the scenes, nothing changes up front, but in the background it makes everything a lot neater
I haven't released the framework-res with this in it yet, (or the specific source) because it isn't really a big deal, but once I get the modified layout for the Horizontal (Landscape) view of the code above, i'll incorporate the cleaner format and the code into my new release

im on it.
ticker port question:
have u discovered all the stock ticker functions files (from the platform ie smali and xmls)? i ask because im looking at i500 gb sources and i may be able to either port the ticker into the build (but platform would also have to be ported with ticker inserted etc) or if its feasible, to just mod the gb kernel with our display specs?
try this:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

may need to toggle imgbutton layout_width="wrap_content" or if im way off, this is what i found on it.

not sure if you noticed the edit^

haha, thanks for the update, I didn't notice it until now I will try it shortly, and let you know!
EDIT: Nope, it didn't work... Thanks though; any other ideas? All that shows up is a non rotated weather icon, everything else is gone...

Hmm.
So the xml posted was just for the HI screen right?
Or for every ticker screen?
Cause since its fuctions are written already(awesome job) it should only be in the layout scripts.
Ill look it over again.

The text posted was the original main layout for the vertical view (standbymode_default_vertical.xml) on the ticker, which will be used solely for standbymode_default_horizontal.xml...
This is what the main standbymode.xml looks like now:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<com.android.server.ticker.TickerStandByView android:orientation="vertical" android:focusable="true" android:descendantFocusability="afterDescendants"

But you know what I just noticed??? The first line of the main standbymode.xml page includes
Code:
android:orientation="vertical"
. I'm going to test something out...

Yes I see it too.. also try reversing the hieght and width
Also isn't vertical=lanscape and horizontal=portrait?
Because when in portrait the lines are horizontal ya know what I mean?

To be honest Jaggar345, I kinda sideburner-ed it, since I sorta got sucked up into this rotation project, haha... Is there a time frame thouegh that you would like it done by? Because I could focus my energy onto it again if you wanted it soon!
and yeah Ciscogee, you're right! haha.. Wasn't thinking straight there for a second

off topic, kinda
so this is the only instance of the ticker shown as the 3rd screen,
Code:
#define FULL_SCREEN_WIDTH 479
#define MAIN_SCREEN_HEIGHT 799
#define SOFTKEYS_SCREEN_HEIGHT 96
#define TICKER_SCREEN_HEIGHT 96
#define SOFTKEYS_WIDTH 120
#define MAIN_SCREEN 1
#define SOFTKEYS_SCREEN 2
#define TICKER_SCREEN 3
#define DEFAULT_PRESSURE_UP 0
#define DEFAULT_PRESSURE_DOWN 256
my question is:
what are the fascinates dimensions if a simple,
REMOVE ticker from this module AND port dimensions
OR
just REMOVE ticker from module? (cause if removed, do i extend the max hieght and width? or does it know what to do[LOL]?)
what are your thoughts since you put so much effort into cracking the ticker? there is also an api viewer that you can see the ticker smali, cause im just thinking that since we dont have ticker sources then it would be most difficult to write the ticker into each platform if i can work out errors in 2.6.32.9 kernel we could up date the linux kernel to boot GB+.

As we all know, Google's planning something quite new for it's beloved Android users. So after examining and researching more into Google's new project Quantum Paper.
I have created a resource base for your project layouts, so you can make your app look more like Google's upcoming project Quantum Paper.
Please note - I have added explanations as there new comers to Android development and perhaps these explanations will help them understand what these certain files do.
Outcome design - One of my simple projects, click here to see what it'll look like.
Project source code and installable apk - click here.
What you'll need -
[x] Eclipse, Android Studio or any Android app developing IDE.
[x] Paint.NET or any image editor.
[x] My custom resource package - Download
[x] Some experience with the IDE that you're using, as I will not be showing you how to use it.
Setup -
Create the following folders and files in your project.
[x] A directory named drawable.
[x] A directory named drawable-nodpi.
[x] A file named colors.xml in the values directory.
Explanation -
Drawable folder - The reason you need a folder named drawable is because we want to create code based images. This is a better approach to things that deal with button clicks, layouts and such. This eliminates warped layouts and stuff.
Drawable-nodpi folder - Since I have made UI images just by using screenshots and the information provided, I cannot present you with a proper dpi image.
But on the other hand, these .pngs are high quality so don't worry about it being unclear.
Colors.xml - An easy way to store preset hex colour codes in Android. It's made so you do not have to enter hex codes manually or for people that just want to link it to the colour they want with the name provided with the hex colour, it's sort of like an ID.
Let's start
Okay, the first thing you will have to do is, unpack the resource file I have provided you with somewhere appropriate, such as the desktop.
Navigate to Action Bar Colors and open the colors.xml file. From there, copy and paste the colours you know you'll be working with in your projects colors.xml file. Now navigate to the Card Layout directory and copy bg_card.xml to your projects drawable directory.
Now head into the Menu Buttons directory. And you will be greeted with two folders, one named normal and the other named pressed. Copy the coloured menu button that you wish to use from both directories to your projects folder named drawable-nodpi. For example, if you want to have a blue ActionBar, then go ahead and copy menu_button_blue and menu_button_blue_pressed.
Now we can go ahead and create our selectable menu buttons.
Create an .xml called menu_button_colorname. For exmaple - menu_button_blue.xml in the drawable folder.
I named it blue because the menu buttons are blue, if it's another colour please link it to that to make things easier.
Add the following code inside the .xm file you have just created. (menu_button_blue.xml/whatever the colour name is)
Code:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]menu_blue_pressed[/COLOR]"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]menu_blue_pressed[/COLOR]" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]menu_blue[/COLOR]" />
</selector>
Replace the lines in red with the resource colour name. ie - menu_button_green, if you're making a green button.
For example, if I have a green action bar, and I have chosen my green menu buttons. I will change the blue to green, like below -
Code:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="rgb(152, 251, 152)"]menu_green_pressed[/COLOR]"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="rgb(152, 251, 152)"]menu_green_pressed[/COLOR]" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/[COLOR="PaleGreen"]menu_green[/COLOR]" />
</selector>
Now go into activity_main.xml (The main layout, this may be different if you have changed the name). And replace all the code with this following code -
Code:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@color/blue" <!-- Change the main window colour to whatever colour you like -->
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:background="#eeeeee"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="@+id/action_bar"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:background="@color/blue" > <!-- This should be the same colour as your main window background -->
<ImageButton
android:id="@+id/qpaper_menu"
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:background="@drawable/menu_button_blue" /> <!-- This should be the same colour as your action bar layout -->
<TextView
android:id="@+id/app_header_name"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/qpaper_menu"
android:text="You applications name" <!-- Change it to your apps name -->
android:textColor="#fff"
android:textSize="18sp" />
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="350dp" <!-- Change this to what ever height you want to make the layout bigger -->
android:layout_margin="12dp"
android:background="@drawable/bg_card"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
The code above is a pre-set template layout. So you will have to do some experimental and edits to the code, I have supplied the code with minor notes to help you. Also many of you guys would probably wish to add more card views than just one.
To add more card views add the code below under the original card view, you can see it above.
Code:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="350dp" <!-- Change this to what ever height you want to make the layout bigger -->
android:layout_marginLeft="12dp"
android:layout_marginRight="12dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="12dp" <!-- Ihave not added marginTop because you don't want to have a huge gap between your card placements -->
android:background="@drawable/bg_card"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</RelativeLayout>
And yes, you can add scrollable views without issues, so you can scroll through your interface .
I will be updating this thread regularly with new info, package updates with new resources and new guide sections.

This is Fantastic!
Here is a patchwork job I did of the Google+ and Youtube card interfaces. It looks like they made the shadow a bit subtler and added a 1 px border that goes from dark to slightly lighter on the top. This is probably part of their Hera/Moonshine UI, do you think it'll be part of Quantum Paper cards, too? If so, I'm not able to figure out how to define it in an XML relative to what you've posted.
Again, great tutorial and starter project!!
See below:

Great job on reaching portal. Shouldn't be surprised from your previous works. Are you planning on adding these changes to your themed apps?

I will definitely take a look at this, and try and see if I can make something similar to this. I'll defiantly update the thread if I find a way.

Thanks! And I haven't recently released any new themed applications so I'm unaware if I will do so.
I've created some extra .pngs and will be updating the resource package do there is a better selection of buttons.
@Fitchman I have found a workround - Let me know if it works.

Beautiful! This is how it looks.... Thanks for such resources!!!

Thank you for this
One mistake though, the parts in bold and underlined should be removed.

Try @string/app_name and let me knows what happens. It shouldn't give an error. also, hover your mouse on the "error" icon thing. and it'll tell you what the issue is, let me know what it says.

Added a scroll view, looks good

it looks like this is mainly for android 4.4? will it work on all or is it just for 4.4?

ya thought so, anywayz it is an awesum guide
wanted to use it :-/ but im on 4.3 XD

Here's my app, haven't done much to it yet. Still gotta add a lot.
I changed a few of the resources too to suit my taste

I uploaded the basic app structure / template for the QuantumPaperUI , It includes :
Two cards
Scroll View
Green color
