Manilla 2D some bugs. - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

thanks Xplode for the fix for our blue angel... ^_^ long live our BAs.....
i've notice some bugs in the program:
1. we cannot specify the directory in the picture tabs.
2. i've clicked the weather tab but nothing happened
3. tried to change wallpaper through settings tabs - nothing happened
4. clicked the internet tab but nothing happened
5. we cannot add picture contact in favorite tabs
PS: may be i've missed one patch or its still the known bugs for this program for our BA..
thanks in advance for Herg and friends for creating such program...

First did you needed thread only for this ?
You do something wrong, all the bugs are not present here.
1. Open camera album, press albums, press the desired folder on the device or storage card, press menu, press set album as favorite and it will display
2. Weather works just fine here
3. When you change wallpaper i changes only in the home tab (HTC Faulty design)
4. Works fine here
5. Works without a glitch
You do something wrong it works just fine here

oops... oh God
it must be my fault...
i'll checked it out... thanks before
evo

i hv also noticed the same but 2,3,4, and 5 goes as i reinstalled the audio manager and reset the device.

now its works.. excepts the picture folder (we still cannot specify the folder of picture...)

you need to install the opal album, audio manager, before manila2d and after hard reset, or you will have unpredicted bugs

Q. How do I to change the defualt Photo Album so it will display my pictures & videos stored on my memory card?
A. Navigate to the Photos and Videos tab in Manilla, press the left softkey "Album", press the left softkey again "Albums", press Storage Card, navigate/select where your pictures and videos are stored, press right softkey "Menu", select "Set Album as Favorite"... Done!
A. Reg Key Edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\ change favorite_folder from [CAMERA] to what ever location you want.

finally...
aaahh finally... it was my fault.. too bad that we can't uninstall manilla 2d... (in case we bored...)

Hi,
I'm still having problem 2. I've reinstalled audio manager, but it still doesn't work. I tap on weather screen and nothing happens.
Anyone has better ideas?

Contacts Dilema HELP!

I used Soft Key to change the shortcut @ the bottom of my screen i only wanted to change Calendar to New SMS, But when i started the Program it made me change both soft keys & Contacts is not in the list. Now i have New SMS & anything but Contacts.
Any body else had this problem? or does anyone have a fix for this????
Funny enough even if i navigate :
Start
Settings
Menus
Contacts is not in that list either.......Weird......
I have attached screen shots to help.
Thanks....
Learn to use the registry. The keys you are looking for are in:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys
Key 112 is your left soft key, and key 113 is your right soft key. You just rename the, "Default" value to what you want to appear on the screen, and the, "Open" value to what you want to launch (the Contacts.lnk is in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder I believe).
Oh, and get Schaps Registry Editor before any of that. ; )
dzelaya18
Thanks for the info you have given but im afraid it don't help cause the contacts.ink or even contacts.exe is nowhere to be found on my device not even in the windows folder....
I have attached a screen shot for you to see.
Thanks again.
And by the way i use PHM Registry Editor.....
Do you already have "Contacts" in your start menu? On my phone, I have Contacts in my start menu, and it is no longer in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs but it is listed in Windows/Start Menu. I think it moves the .lnk over when it's active in the start menu. Just a thought.
I mean, it has to be on the phone somewhere. Although I can't seem to locate it in Windows either...kind of makes me wonder where the phone is pulling it from when I select it...hmm...
No it's not in my start menu, proof is in 1 of the attachments in my1st post.
Last nite i installed PocketCM and used soft key to choose the shortcut to it.
Now i have what i originally wanted
Left Shortcut:......New SMS
Right Shortcut:....Contacts (through PocketCM)
Sorted.........
Screen Shot Attached
Yeah, I use iContact v0.6. I'd love to use PocketCM if it didn't try and do so much more than just contacts. It's refusal to stop trying to handle SMS is what makes me stay away from it.
Not to sure what you mean about PocketCM taking over SMS just switch it off in options if you dont like it.....
I use PocketCM V0.23 together with TouchPal 3.0 and the SMS option works well for me if anything better than the original cause it shows the whole conversation and it makes it easier for you to remember what you texting about he he he....
Try it.....
I've got a similar problem:
My right softkey was Calendar, some time ago it said "shortcut not found".
I set it again using Schap's Advanced Config, but it kept disappearing 2 or 3 times.
Now, the links for Calendar and Contacts have disappeared in the Start Menu!
I was able to copy the calendar.lnk from the \Windows directory, but there is no contacts.exe.
I do not use PocketCM, so that's not the root cause...
Try installing PocketCM and use that for a while to see it that shortcut dissapears aswell.....
Sounds like we have all got gremlins in our Hermes!!!!!!!! he he he
Here is the link:

Hope im allowed to post that......

Very strange, icons are missing from the windows menu?

I have a problem with the htc hd 2, when you press the windows logo button on the bottom of the phone you jump to menu where all the icons are (such as installed programs icons and settings).
what happened is that all icons are missing except the today icon, how can
you bring all those icons back?
Also when you install a new program the phone doesn't make any icon in the menu. I have soft reset my phone with the reset button on the back but wouldn't work.
Can somebody help me with this problem?

I hope for your sake I'm wrong, but that sounds like a hard reset is needed, to me. Wait and see if anyone else has any suggestions, but that sounds quite a nasty problem.
I have got the same problem... any ideas how to fix it without hard reset?
I have two such icons .. HTC people and HTC calendar. It seems it has something to do with turning corresponding tabs off and on again.
Yes it would me nice to fix it without hard reset Any suggestions?
corresponding tabs off and on

How do you turn the corresponding tabs off and on?
Another thing hhen you go to the setting en press menu on the right corner then press more then nothing appears/happen?
Settins / personalize / home screen tabs
And I can confirm it .. first I had no such icons. Then I disabled calendar tab. Still nothing. Then I enabled calendar tab. And THC Calendar icon with no picture (only default one) showed up in the start menu. Now if I remove the tab, the icons gets removed too. But as I enable the tab again, icon is back.
Same for HTC People icon.
Only tweak I use which could have something to do with this enabling all settings icon in start menu (via BsB tweaks).

I see what you mean thanks for the effort, but with these icons the htc has no problems, its with icons you see when you press the windows logo button, its a long list with all the installed applications. In this screen they all disapeared except the today icon.
Some help from anybody would be very appreciated?
Hmmm
I had the same issue.
Flashed 1.48 over it.
Havn't had the problem since.
Check this dudes thread for additional/replacement icons...stunning stuff!

Updating rom solved the problem thanks for help me out!!
Any other solution available other then updating my ROM...cause it's already up-to-date.
I got this issue after a soft reset by BsB Tweaks.

Additional info:
- I'm using a Dutch ROM (so "\Windows\Startmenu\Program files" is called "\Windows\Startmenu\Programma's" )
- It happened after a soft reset after altering the Led Notifications/Message Notification setting
(I think the soft reset itself might have caused it)
- I have been moving startmenu items around using my ActiveSync connection
All I've found on the forum thus far is: Hard reset your device...but I really don't wanna.
Damn, it happened again. I'm stuck with just the Today icon again.
For a while I thought: leave it be. With Co0kie's Home Tab I can access all applications I need.
But I recently noticed that I cannot access my advanced settings screen either... and there's no shortcut for that.
Too bad, nobody came up with a solution that doesn't require a hard reset or ROM Update (which basically means the same: Clean slate).
Anyone?

Do either of you use microsoft my phone? If so it may have backed up your pictures then copied them back after rom upgrade creating 2 copies of them all? Only thing that springs to mind.
i think may be album cache is the reason after folder content changing. try reboot your device.
update:
touch albums. touch albums again. you will see 2 first options: "all" and "camera shots".
if you choose "camera shots", you will see duplicated photos.
if you choose "all", you will NOT see duplicated photos.
so, choose all for your comfort.
i do this i select all but when i exit album and i entering album again then i see all photos and videos twice again :S
sorry for my english
hi yeaks,
try this way:
after you select "all", touch "menu" then touch "set album as favorite". you will see an infor box appeared saying that "... has been set as your favorite album. you can go to the photos & videos tab on home to view the album". you have done.
you can choose another folder to be your favorite also, except "camera shots". seem duplicate issue appear only with this option.
so, choose everything you want BUT NOT "camera shots".
if this works for you, please confirm.
good luck.
thanx for your reply
i chose set album favorite, but, when i exit albums
and i entering albums again the problem is still going on...
Adding Pic in the album
Hello.

Does any one know how to activate soemthing so that when you enter Album, all the pic are shown ?
Thanks

See thread here, same problem there, no solution though. Someone there posted that this is happens when you change the language in manila, dunno if its true or not.
thanx bro im waiting for a fix
Hi ALL
Try to navigate to My Device\Application Data\HTC\HTC Album and delete cache files.than if you have Total commander or Resco Explorer in the folder which is showing you dual files delete Album Cache file.but it is hiden file that's why you need advanced browser to be able to see them.
as far as i can remember this has solved this kind of problem for me some time ago.
and maybe Soft Reset...
the solution is there

hmmm. it looks strange.
let's try again.
when you choose album folders the menu will display 3 parts like that:
part 1:
all (xxx)
camera shots (xxx)
part 2:
my device
graphics and sounds (xxx)
my wallpapers (xxx)
part 3:
storage card
100media (xxx) (this is folder storing photos shoted by your camera)
for example i choose 100media then i will see photos thumbnails. then i touch menu then "set album as favorite" then ok. then back to home today screen. now when i return to photos & videos tab touch albums i will see "100media" in the left top conner of the title bar. DO YOU SEE THE SAME ?
i have tried all folders. for me just only folder "camera shots" get wrong. even in the folder list the number of photos on this folder exaclty the same number of photos on "all" folder.
someone said about manila language. this may be an issue.
just my 2 cents.
I've the same problem
Is it possible to change the default folder "camera shots" every time that i'm opening the album?
"hi yeaks,

Got my X10 yesterday, my FIRST ANDROID phone, now I am lost, messed up and confused

I've heard and read so many good comments about ANDROID, I decided it was time to make the switch and I went for the X10 yesterday. I was very excited !!
But after one day of use I am starting to feel frustrted... the more I play with the phone, the more I feel trapped and lost: I need help !!
FILE SYSTEM
- A file explorer was not present (a bad vibe went down through my spine...), so I downloaded a couple of "file explorers" from the market and tried to explore the phone's contents but I couldn't
How can I explore/browse the phone's folders and files ?? (not the SD card, but the phone itself), hidden / system files included ??
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs File Explorer solves this
- How do I save content into the phone's memory ?? (not the SD card)
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs FE solves this
APPS FOLDER
- How can I customize the apps folder ??
- How to rearrange the shortcuts ??
- How can I edit a shortcut ??
- How can I create a shortcut for an app listed as "installed" but lacking a shortcut to be launched (no shortcut for voice recorder or latitude) ??
EDIT Estrongs FE can create shortcuts to the "home" at least...
CONTACTS
- How can I sort my contacts ?? (Last/First name)
- Where is the option to assign each one's facebook pic to its contact ??
USABILITY
- How to enable haptic feedback ??
EDIT Only the keyboard can provide haptic feedback, still finding a way to enable it everywhere, throughout the whole system
- How do I choose which folder to save an attachment to ??
- How do I select text from an email to copy it to another application ?? (email app)
- How do I save copyed text into a text note ??
EDIT Third party note apps solve this
- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!
EDIT Yes I know I canzoom with th onscreen buttons, an OS refresh will solve this
- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery charge percent ??
EDIT Yeah this is one of those "I have to switch my mind from WM to android" ones, so consider it solved
- And where is the battery page at all ??
EDIT Found. I am such a stupid android noob LOL !!
- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??
- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk" but I can't find it on the phone nor market)
EDIT I was able to install gtalk after rooting, had to search for the APK myself
ANDROID is supposedly "open" and "user friendly"
Being new to Android, it' probably my fault/lack of experience only.
Am I missing something here ??
What's going on ??
I am as confused as Adam on mother's day
.
the same thing happened to me xD
and I know you and I come from an x1 XD
is not that hard, you have to check the options for the 3g if not say bye to the battery gauge also to your data plan if you have o.0
I suggest you open the User Manual that came with your phone.
Most of your questions will be answered in it. There's no double-tap to zoom in 1.6, but will arrive with the 2.1 update later this month. Having a capacitive screen has absolutely 0.000000% to do with it.
Also, a lot of your questions can be solved by a "Long Press"... aka, hold on the item you want to select for a second.

If it only were as easy as a "long press"... huh...
But your second point is valid: some of my issues with the phone could be related to the old OS... maybe an OS refresh will help
@alankstiyo:
Indeed I went X1 -> X2 -> Topaz -> HD2 -> back to X2
This is my first android experience and it is not fulfilling my expectances, maybe they were too high...

For the system files I think you have to root your phone first, and install Astro File Manager.
You can manage your file (system or SD card) there, including copy, paste, move, etc.

Root was EASY and FAST (aprox 5 seconds) with this little APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8259140&postcount=174
Those complicated step-by-step stickyed rooting threads should be replaced by this simple, fast and easy APK that does everything at once and automatically
NOW I HAVE FILE ACCESS, YESSSSS
Let's start solving all the other issues
Grab I am happy to see you again after moving from x1. Hope to see some development from you here

First of all, what are u trying to save? If you're trying to save an
attachment from email, I think the file is going into the SD card (default folder is 'download')
- How do I select text from an email to copy it to another application ??
What is the another application that you're are talking about? I think
different apps have different style for handling this matter

- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!
What are you trying to zoom? For photos in mediascape you just have to
tap twice, for browser there's an option tools that allow you to zoom in or out. In Dolphin browser
you can zoom in and out by gesture. Pinching won't work, because X10 doesn't support multitouch
- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery
charge percent ??
Use the 'battery indicator pro' apps, you can find it in Market. The apps
can show you how much percent that your battery's life left, the battery temperature (so you don't
overheat the phone).
Or you can type this at your dialer : *#*#4636#*#*. It'll show you the battery information along
other information about your phone
- And where is the battery page at all ??
What battery page?
- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??
I think you can't multi select your contact but CMIIW
- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk"
but I can't find it on the phone nor market)
I have this apps from the start that i bought it, it's a default apps for android phone
Sorry for my mess up english guys
I still havent figure how to add more icons on the desktop but can ve done with ihome . Buts i dont like themes or stuff like that.

Yep, the timescape feature is cool. But I don't know why ppl doesn't like it a lot.
If you want to add icons to your default desktop, just press the 'menu' button from your phone (located lower left of the phone), then select 'add' (there's a 'plus' icon), then you can choose to add your application shortcuts, widgets, or folders.
To move the icon, just long press the icon you want (till the phone vibrate) and just slide to move it.

Thank you mate, I'm starting to squeeze the juice out of this shizz and I'm loving it
1- Rooting made a GREAT difference
2- After checking Astro, I STRONGLY suggest and recommend ESTRONGS FILE EXPLORER, I can even explore FTPs and other PCs over my LAN !! Seems to have incorporated unZip too, WOW... so much to discover...
3- A contact tipped me about downloading gtalk apk from another forum... testing...
My mind is still setled with WM, I just have to change the mental cartridge and let the hamster run again
msntalk is the best msn client at least for me works great so far XD
i even can chat over fb yay!!!
strongly recomment angry birds, which I'm uploading and sending to you xD
advanced task killer is a must
switch pro makes a huge difference for quick launch settings
sms unread count and sms pop up are a must, i can bear living with that small message on the taskbar when a sms arrives
idk so many things to dl xD
- How to enable haptic feedback ??

you could make a Shortcut but long pressing on your home screen select shortucts - Settings - Battery Settings
- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??
in gmail you select the eamil by the tickbox before the subject
messaging you long press the thread and select Delete thread
contacts i recoment using you gmail account to edit contacts also goof for merging in to one
Thanks, seems like this si gonna be my second night without sleeping
Now I know for sure it was the best step to choose an X10 after my beloved x1! Since Gtrab got one too! Congrats with your x10! You'll need to get used to android first.. At first I missed winmo very much, but now I can't imagine using another!

theres a thing called settings, you should check it out before complaining.

can some directory be fobidden to show in the picture galery

Hi,
since i updated my DHD with the OTA update, i can see ALL pictures that are in the phone's memory in the picture galery app..
is there a way to told the picture galery to ignore some folders..
MOD edit: Moved to General
Cheers,
M_T_M
Yes. Add empty file called
.nomedia
In the folder
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
or when you load up gallery, click menu and show/hide folders then untick what folders you dont want to show
the main idea is to prevent friends/child or whatever to see pics that are not for them (like a sexy girlfriend for example)
the hide menu in galery is too easy ...
there is no password or something like that, so if you share your phone for 1 min to someone, he can found the hidden albums in 10 secs ....
I'll try the nomedia hopping that it will do the work...
One last question: how to remove the thumbnails without deleting the content ?
the .nomedia trick worked ...
but i needed to put this file on the parent directory, not the directory containing the pictures

hmm when i start gallery and klick on menu nothing happens, no menu is comming up. i wanna exclude some folders. how can i change that, is there any other way?
is the menu not coming up because its still loading/refreshing?
Update: wow its tricky to get this menu opened up...
i tried to put the .nomedia file in the parent folder, but it doesnt work....
i also cleared the cache of gallery, and after startup the same again.
i would like to uncheck some "system - pictures" wich i dont need in gallery
Question:
is there a programme, which actually shows the folder structure for pictures.
like my pictures -> test -> test1
-> test2
because gallery shows only
my pictures
test
test1
test2
I installed and application called hide it pro today (free) from market, it lets you hide anything with a password. Installs as 'audio manager' and there is a hidden button in that to get to the login screen. Pretty nice!

When I load gallery, if I hit menu nothing happen.
Then I select 'All photos' then hit menu and only 3 buttons appears: 'slide show', 'Define as', 'Select reader'.
So nothing about 'show/hide folders'. Where do you find that ??
Thanks
Other way to hide folder from gallery is to name it ".anyfoldername"
The dot in the beginning is the key. My windows computer would not let me create such folder, so I made one in my phone and then moved files to it from a computer.
By the way, in Gallery all photos are displayed 'flat' whatever the folder hierachy is.
In other word, I cannot browse photos by folder they belong to.
It was possible in my previous Magic with many different ROMs (stock 1.6, Cyanogen,...).
This is quite anoying because I have +400 photos stored in +10 folders.
Scroll down and there you should be able to see the folders...

I had to delete application data through Application settings for it to rescan.
It found my folders

Yeah, this sucks, on winmo htc sense this was possible... unfortunately HTC Sense for android in some aspects has taken a step back...

yeah pretty useless too
the files are accessible uncrypted in a .myVault folder ^^
i first througth the password was crypting the files (because it took some time)
but no the files are freely visible
ok at least there are not in the galery
