Some of the buttons didn't work until I edited the .ini file enclosed but otherwise looks cool and works nice esp the lock/unlock slide thing.
UPDATE INFO:

Nice work!!!!!!!

great find! i was hoping this would show up when i first saw the video. I got it loaded and it's pretty nice to work with. One question so far....where is the comm manager located on the 8525. Im trying to find the path so i can link the settings button to it but i cannot find it. Thanks!
Edit: This is a little bigger issue for me, my clock on the device it self it correct but in the iphone launcher app it is 4 hours ahead. How and hell do i fix this? Any help is appreciated

How did you edit the .ini file?

^^^ Same question here.
I have no issue updating. I just don't know what to do.
I downloaded and will run the file. I will take a closer look.
PS: WICKED FIND! I was starting to think that it was lost to us.

Connected the phone via activesync and copied the file to my pc. Then I can edit with notepad by right click - open with etc. If that's not working for you drag the file and drop it onto a notepad icon

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Many thanks. I will try

Any ideas yet on how to get the time in the the launcher program to sync with the phone itself? Mine is still running 4 hours ahead.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!

Well

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem

Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.

anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue

HTC Ozone and ClearType

Does the Ozone (Maple/Willow) utilize ClearType?
And does anyone know how to tweak the settings? I cannot find a place to do it in the settings folder.

Thanks Pri (my personal search assistant),
I found that and the control panel addon. What I'm wondering is it used as default in the Maple/Willow?
Specifically I wonder because I've noticed the rendered type in some programs (Skyfire, IE, etc) is not as clear as others. I'm curious - if ClearType is on, would this be an issue with the various apps or if it's not active, would it be an issue that ClearType could resolve.

thanks P, but can we use this on mac?
**solved.,mac user can use "tweak2k2.net" as a built-in tweaker for Win-Mo smartphone (installed from tweak2k2.net.cab)

Hey guys,
When I try to add the ClearType key, I get a "Access Is Denied" prompt. Is there anyway around this? I'm using the Snap unlocked international version btw...
Thanks.

Manilla Sound settings shortcut?

Hi guys,
I tried searching, but to no avail...
I'm looking for a way to acces the manilla sound settings directly from the programs-tab. Could someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

Don't think you can access sub tabs directly - at least I have not found a way. Thats why I wrote 3 simple small apps that set the sound for you. they each have their own icon and just run it from where ever you want. It will load, set the sound, and exit.

Thanks! That ought to do the trick for now!
And something else: The sub-tab for Comm manager IS directly accessable, I wonder if there is a way to have the same for "Sound"...

Youre right. BUt I thought that was because someone wrote a "clone" version of that page and it has been used in a lot of the mods peoiple do. Which may be worth doing if I have some spare time. I could write a manila looking screen to change the sound settings. hmmmmm..

Well This week has been real hectic. But I want you to try my first version.
I had the system and ringer volume working but unfortunatly the manila SDK I used from micyprima (Thanks!) has problems adding new controls unless you render them from scratch. Therefor if you go longer than you screen is they won't scroll like the panel items will. I may try and create some new panel items with slider controls if I have time.
Anyway the basic funtions you want should work.
Let me know.

How to get the real ENGADGET on Opera 10 (solution)

Hi guys I was very frustrated every time I want to read Engadget on the new opera mobile 10 without using Turbo mode. I spend lot of time looking for a solution trying to spoof agent and others but no way to get the real version...instead everytime I get a text only version for wap devices.
Finally I found the solution:
In opera10 goto to the web page "OPERA:CONFIG"
goto NETWORK and scroll down for "HTTP Accept"
there put this text:
text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-xbitmap, */*;q=0.1, application/youtube-client, application/x-obml2d, multipart/mixed
PS:This solution can be a workarround to others sites with the same problem too.
I hope this will be usefull to someone

it's a pain in the ass typing it all, but it's worth it thanx for the tip. now if there would be a fix for the text flow/break

My biggest issue is the crap zoom (needs at least a zoombar if pinch to zoom isn't an option) and camera not working with Opera running in the background.
Also, for engadget (I'm on there all the time), you can just scroll down and hit view desktop/full version. Also, you can add something like ?m=false (it's not that exactly, and I can't check it at the moment) and it will change the default mobile version to the full version.
However if your tweak works for all sites, then hats of to you! And I need to get on that later tonight.

You dont need to type it!
connect your HD2 to activesync, and go to the folder where you installed opera 10, got to the folder profile and then edit the file "Opera.ini" (in my case it is \Storage Card\program files\Opera Mobile 10\profile\opera.ini)
There, under [Network] add the text like this:
[Network]
HTTP Accept=text/html, application/xml;q=0.9, application/xhtml+xml, image/png, image/jpeg, image/gif, image/x-bitmap, */*;q=0.1, application/youtube-client, multipart/mixed
Save the file to the HD2 and that is
(I first do this the hard way...typing all in the HD2 grrr)

That's true but only for the first page cause a bug on engadget dont remember the option and when you go to the "older post" its all text again.

Can you gimme a page with the text flow/break problem? I will try to find a solution to that too. (still none of the pages I usually go show this bug)

Thanks Shagratt.
BTW, to everyone worried about entering all that text, most of it is already there as the default, all you have to do is add the last part listed below to the end and save.

Not exactly, I think the most important one is removing the wap part (engadget must use this to detect mobile devices), but in my opera mobile 10 there was only a empty space, so I have to write all.

Opera 9.7

I'm not sure if this has been already. covered... but i don't know exactly what to call it... but when i browse using opera.. and use eitherpinch to zoom or the double tap... the page on the screen starts shaking and moving.... like it jumps from one part of the page to another... has there been any fixes or tweaks to at least reduce it? and also do you guys even know what I'm talking about... thanks

hmm... can someone at least tell me the proper name for what i am experiencing so that i can research it myself?

let me answer your question. this problem is caused by text reflow. Period. thats it. that is the answer. you try to zoom on something,you get there, but then the screen jumps all the way to the left for some reason/ yeah. that is reflow at work. and it sucks.
i tried to find a way to disable it for many many days. re-bumping my thread again and again.
there is a way to disable reflow, but it comes at the cost of ugly webpages. usually text are aligned in a way that is not natural.
Search my threads. I am still trying to find a way, but I hoped i answered your question.
let me know if you find something better. =)

You need to download the newest build of Opera 9.7 from this forum. I have build 3600, and it is very smooth. Pinch-to-zoom works properly, text reflow doesnt cause the web page to jump all over the place either.
The update is just an exe file that you overwrite in the Windows directory.

try this. Worked wonders for me

I'm using the 3600 build as well, it's still not perfect in regards to the jumping but it is massively improved.

I have this installed as well. Its is a conbination of registry hacks to improve the smoothness of Opera. But the main tweak is to change the virtual screen size to 1024 pixels wide. Although you would need to change it to 1020 pixels to ensure that double-tap continues to work in portrait view.
The cab previously posted comes from this thread and page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627441&page=6
Here is another link for Opera Smooth tweaks, which I also installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626157
Maybe a combination of the above and build 3600 will change your opinion...
