Would it be possible to create an app where the manila file that is the background for all pages can be replaced using .jpg image. I'm assuming it would convert the jpg to the manila file then replace it.

I'm not sure about PNG's , but i use BRN.
Store it in Windows Folder, and if you are replacing the originals due to haveing the same name file, you need an explorer that can overwrite system files. ex. resco explorer( Thats what i use whenever i copy files and need overwriting )
ohh i see just use the samfile name and overwrite them.
do the media hub and 3 X2 launcher have different size icons or it doesn't really matter?
i was hoping for when Touch settings comes out for us on the vogue, we can just select the picture file manually? But i want to convert the pics to BRN. Got it!

how were you able to overwrite the file if its under windows directory with 2000+ files? im using memmaid. and it wont let me see all the 2000+ files under \windows
i actually have to create a new folder and have it point to that directory using the registry.

I took the originals BRN of the Music, Sprint TV, and On Demand icons and convert it to size so that it will fit properly when i am playing Audio Manager with the functions displayed. Just like in the picture.
dont need that , need to know do i need to make different icon sizes for the 3X2 launcher or the Media hub... I can also just make PNG then save them as BMP, then convert them to BRN.??? THen when touch settings comes out, i can just use the icons through that prog. My question is where do i save the pics. I want to keep original pics there as well. But right now i also want these pics.
Can anyone tell me what's the easiest way of creating a manila theme? I would like to make a slider with my own icons and background. Thanks in advance.
i second that...i'm also interested in givin back to the community
manila editor
just copy paste that to the search bar
when u've edited your manila files create a cab file from the changed manilla's
and voila u've got yourself a "theme"
You can also use CFC Gui to export manila files as png, edit them and then replace them with your own gfx.
CFC Gui also supports lossless image compression to save ram, your manilla.exe must be patched first though.
good morning:
before you guys tell me to search, i have already did over and over again. all the threads i see was not entirely clear. some threads say soemthign about having a manila editor and i would need a hex editor and stuff. other people say i jsut use the change wallpaper setting in the settings tab ( i tried, it doesnt work). i also tried downloading a configurator ( dimaond) and it doesnt work. so i want to know, how exactly do you change a wallpaper for touchflo cooked roms? ( please, no vague , shortcut descriptions). i will very much appreciate it. thanks.
p.s. i mean to change only the home screen, not necessarily all tabs, but that can help to.
First we'd need to know what touchflo you're using, TF3D 1 or TF3D 2 "Landscape".
For the first, you need to edit a manila skin file, extract to a png with CFG Editor (search on XDA), edit it in photoshop, alter the manila skin file back with CFG Editor into the png you made, then hex-edit the file and paste it in your windows directory, together with another file that you'd need to download. Aka, it's a hassle. I can't tell you where to download all this, as I don't remember.
TF3D 2 its easier, just need to edit 4 skin files, without hex editing.
Are you sure you want to do this?
And how can I change the TouchFlo 3D 1 wallpaper in the cab version?

thanks for the reply. sorry i forgot to mention im using touchflo 2
but yes i would like to attempt it if you can give me directions on how to do it. i appreciate it a lot.
Edit the following files: (get them from your windows folder)
29cff4fe_manila
058acf31_manila
77feee1d_manila
70083a29_manila
Two of 'em are for portrait, two for landscape.
Use cfc gui to extract the pngs and recompile them when you're done.
Copy them to your \windows folder and you're all set.

How do you create custom icons for the bottom slider? I have already gotten the actual pictures, I just need to find out how to put them onto my phone...
Is there a certain manila file? because I have manila editor and could do it that way.

You have to edit a couple of manila files for the icons. You could use Manila Editor or CFC GUI to replace the images. The easiest to do this is just to edit an existing iconset that comes with Manila Customizer. That way you exactly know which images should be replaced in witch manila file.
Hello my friend
I would like to cook a wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 on my LEO rom.
I have read cracing's tutorial, made a cab, and i run this cab with RUNCC.
The cab is installed, but it appear that my reg entries aren't wrote ( or erased...)
Anyone have somes idea for this problem ?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
Nixeus

How to cook custom background wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 ( Home Screen )
1. First rename your image file ( PNG or JPG, Not sure about other formats ) to HomeBackground.img*.
2. Create a CAB file ( Using any of your fav SW, i.e WinCE CAB Manager ).
3. Place this .img file into the CAB. Location should be \Windows.
4. Open Notepad and copy the reg entries written below :
HTML Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CachedBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\ReturnValue]
"Status"=dword:00000001
"FilePath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\Setting]
"Enable_DRM"=dword:00000000
5. Paste into the Notepad file.
6. Edit the image paths to your image located. I.e CachedBackgroundPath, HomeBackgroundPath and FilePath. The HomeBackground.img and this image should be same.
7. Save the Notepad file to 1.reg.
8. Import the 1.reg file into the CAB file and save it. ( If your CAB manager doesn't support importing reg file(s), try adding the reg entries manually )
9. At last use this cab file to your auto run or etc inwhich the cab should be installed while Manila 3D is running.
This big process is coz, these things should be changed/written while Manila 3D is running. If you do this into rgu and run Manila 3D later on, it doesn't read/change the background wallpaper. However, I have tried few hours playing with this and found the working way. If any of you can find still more simple way, that would be more then a great.
Note #1: The file extension should be correct. i.e reg.txt or img.png is wrong. Make sure about it!
Note #2: The Manila 3D should be loaded fully before the CAB ( via autorun ) installs. If it a lil difference, Manila 3D won't load the image. It is hard to setup but this is the only way!
Sorry for writing too lengthy and not so good language but I hope you can understand better
Thanks a lot to Amarullz!
Best Regards

Hi,
I got the same problem.
Did you managed to solve it?
I also would like to make the cab do not appear in the program list (just to avoid that it is uninstalled)
Why are you doing it with a cab? I would just cook it straight in, with the reg entries and the image as a rom file. There are probably some provxml's that will over-write the reg entries (and maybe rename a file to the background), so find the provxml's and edit them.
Hi Farmer Ted,
I tried cooking the background (all regs + HomeBackground.img), but It didn't work.
It seems that it has to be done after manila is fully loaded.
Anyone have managed to get it to work?
