I would just like to start this thread to post some idea's I have that I think need to be included in a future release of the Settings app for S2U2.
1. Ability to choose any wallpaper on the device. (JPG/GIF) Not be just stuck to having to copy/paste into the GFX directory, as the filename of wallpaper.gif or wallpaper.jpg.
-FIXED: Use Slide2View posted here to change the wallpaper easily enough. I've known about the registry edit, but wanted a more streamlined solution. Guess this is it!
2. Have theme type files. Kinda like the tsk files for the today screen.
Few more I'll post later as I think of them.... Just post more ideas!!
theme
How bout if you can to themes like pocketcm does it and you can change themes like pocketcm.
lennysh ur suggestion works since forever, you have to edit the path in the resgistry. i dont remember where exactly, that way u can run the wallpapers from SD..

Hey lennysh, you should check out S2V (Slide2View) also by A_C. This is a cool picture viewer and one of the options is to make the currently viewed picture the wallpaper for S2U2!
I created a folder under My Pictures called Wallpapers. I put all my jpg and gifs (even animated gifs) in that folder. I can then browse those pics with S2V, and select one to be my wallpaper for S2U2. Very cool!
Hope that helps.
I think S2V should eventually be built into the S2U2 settings program.
An option I would like to see is password protected unlocking so that after you slide a dialpad shows up and you have to enter the password to unlock the phone.
an exclusion feature would be great because it's a bit disturbing while playing games..

there is an exclusion feature but it's accessed via a registry edit. go HKCU/software/A_C and there is a bunch of reg keys that start with "Exclusion1, Exclusion2, ....
Just add the name of the EXE that you want to exclude.
It would be nice if this was added to s2u2 settings via the gui but for now it works.
icon on screensaver?
First, Awesome app.
Now, when I launch S2U2 it works fantastic, but, there is a little icon that resembles a text document with a check on it and a number seven in a red circle just below it??? this is located just above the right corner of the unlock slide. Any thoughts?
just turn off task count in s2u2 settings
S2U2 and it's counter part S2V are both fabulous apps as far as single apps go. Yes S2U2 requires a regedit to use the directory of your choice unless you also install S2V..which begs the question...why?? I think they are both great apps but I am not sure I see the point of two separate apps when you need one to do something specific like choose the directory to use for pics.
So..what I would like to see is a merge of the two or make them two separate programs entirely. On that note, it would be nice to see a few of these great developers merge several of their apps into one nice compilation. There are obviously several "popular" apps that all perform entirely different functions. A compilation of these "popular" apps would make for a rather nice experience. And when I say compilation, I don't mean a .cab that includes these apps together, I mean one united program with all the functions streamlined and working together. Something like a mix of S2U2, Pictureflow, PocketCM and what ever all bundled seamlessly into ...say...a PointUI app or something along those lines.
guap,
where is the task count located?

it's somewhere in the s2u2 settings, set it to "off". otherwise, you may try to mark your "unread messages" in your inbox to "read messages", so the task count won't appear.. hope this helps.
thanks
I want S2U2 to be PointUI-ized.
It would be great if S2U2 could have an owner info on the start screen. Maybe an icon (similar to the weather icons) or as a small text below the slider.
Awesome apps, but the only problem faced by me in my iMate JAQ is changing the orientation of the setting screen. As directed I have changed to path clock to clockH, but it still doesn't work. Any help there?????????????
Slide2View is nice. I have both S2U2 0.98 and Slide2View in the same CAB file, with the additional clocks included. If anybody would like a copy, just let me know. I will also try and include some more stuff if I find some. It is set to use the HTC theme in S2U2.
Got it! Thanks for the info....I kinda hate to admit it but I did not know that the options was a scrollable page. After that I found it no problem. What a great app!!!
If not too much
s2u2 is a very great application.
if not too much..can he include a preview button in the next s2u2 setting? ok, maybe i'm too lazy too save and exit the setting before i can see the outcome of it. but it could be a nice add on in the next release.
thanks to A_C!
Hello Friends
One more time sorry for my english
My pourpose is the next one: When you close S2U2, it appears a window with message " S2U2 are closed", and a ok button to close it.
It's posible that the window disapear automatically after few seconds?.
Thanks.
The ability to either key in a simple pin or a strong alphanumeric password when you slide to unlock.
Invoking the WM6 one is messy/untidy.
Also create a Today plugin for S2U2 so you can invoke the lock directly off the Today screen.

Afraid i have had to discontinue all work on this due to big time time restraints. If the download links don't work then please feel free to message me and i will email them to you however I won't be logging in here much so you may get a faster response by sending me an email - [email protected]

*****Updated 28/09 21:00 VERSION 5. Includes Trasparent scroll highlighter*****
First things first - I would like to give a big thankyou to MRE-net for the original idea for my theme, also for his help with setting up a CAB file. Without his input i would not have been able to have achieved this. Also for this task i have used the Manila ed tool to great effect so thanks to the developers of that as well.
The original idea for this came from this thread by MRE-net
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=420423
Warning: The usual caveat applies to this, use it at your own risk. However the CAB file works perfectly on my 1.37 ROM and has also been used successfully on a 1.93 ROM so you should have no problems at all.
Here is a link to download from,
http://rapidshare.com/files/151841827/TFL3DTABICONSV5.cab.html Version.5 NEW CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/151842796/TFL3DTABICONSV5.theme.html Version.5 NEW THEME

http://www.uploading.com/files/54B3SUKA/TFL3DTABICONSV3.theme.html Version.3 THEME
if for any reason any file is no longer available on the links above, just drop me a PM and i will email the CAB to you.
Version History
Version 5 - 29/Sep/08 - As version 4 but with a transparent scroll highlighter (looks good). If you have the large icons showing on each screen then V5 is not for you as the large mid screen icons will dissapear. if you do then use V4 and download Pama's transparent slider(which itself may not work if you use the CAll history /callendar tabs) See post #42 for full details
Version 4 - 28/Sep/08 - Lots of new Icons here See post #36 for full details
Version 3 - 19/Sep/08 - At the request of user 'skizZO' Now includes Icon for Calendar tab, with relevant Manila files edited - *Important* You must already have the Calendar Tab enabled for this to work. If like me you do not have a Calendar tab available then you can get a CAB file to install one by searching this site. Also at the request of the user 'timoline' i have Inverted some of the icons so that they all face the same way(Don't know why i didn't think of that! Thanks!)
Version 2 - 18/Sep/08 - Now includes enhanced 'Messages' Icon and new 'Email' Icon
Version 1 - 16/Sep/08
Here is my icon set, All the files are PNG with transparent backgrounds.
***Updated to now include lots of new icons for the first level menus, see my post on page 4 for full details
The Call history - Messages - Email - Internet - Photos, and Weather icons i made myself using various downloaded icon files and a bit of 'cut and paste' wizardry. The Home - Contacts - Calandar and Music icons are files i downloaded without any editing. For the Settings and Programs tabs i used icons supplied by MRE-net(thanks again)
In my opinion they look great on the Diamond.
I don't use the Email tab which is why you won't see it in the screenshots, but there is an Email icon included in the CAB. I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon, but i couldn't find another one that i feel fits better, i'll change this if i find a better one.
I particularly like my Weather Icon, took me ages to find and then Paintshop it to my requirements. It's amazing how hard it is to find good 3D weather icons!!
I have these saved in CAB file, which installs perfectly, so once again if anyone would like to try my icons you can download the CAB from here -
http://rapidshare.com/files/151841827/TFL3DTABICONSV5.cab.html Version.5 NEW CAB
http://rapidshare.com/files/151842796/TFL3DTABICONSV5.theme.html Version.5 NEW THEME
If the file is no longer available on the above link then please drop me a PM and i will Email the CAB to you.
To install simply- Disable TF3D
Install CAB (Automatic soft reset will occur)
Enable TF3D
And you're done!!
*** If you are updating versions don't forget to uninstall any previous versions of the CAB first!!! as the new CAB won't overwrite the old one***
Once again i give a BIG THANKYOU to MRE-net for his icons and also the original CAB file, without which i would not have been able to put this together.
All the best
Steve
Tnks, but the dwload not work
No prob with download Time before downloadin counted twice
Will try n post results...thx man
used it and looks great ! thx you mate
@ Stevedpl7 Tab Theme for TF3D
you said I'm not %100 convinced with the Music icon?
can you make a htc diamond or anything to do with htc music icon , just a suggestion
@ lucag
Keep trying, it appears that the free download countdown timer is counting down twice!!!
If you still have no joy, PM me and i'll Email it to you
@ Dynomite232
I'm in the process of trying to create an icon showing a Diamond with headphones in a musical type context, struggling a bit getting it to look good though so i'll post once i've succeeded!!!
Regards
Steve
Great job, like I said in my thread. Looks really nice, especially the sms icon. Keep up the good work mate !!!
I see that the screenshot tool is also working well for you ?
I do like the music icon btw....just like the camera icon. Wish I'd found that one earlier
Thanks, I've certainly got the bug for this now!! I'm working on some other stuff like new icons for the Call history list and various other bits bobs so hopefully i can come up with some good stuff.
Thanks for showing me the screenshot program, i'm anmazed how easy it is to use!!!
all the best
Are there also the missed calls and calendar icons?
@SkizZO,
Hi, unfortunately i didn't include a calander icon as i don't have the calander tab(don't think i have the original Manila file), as far as the missed call icon goes are you talking about a seperate 'Missed call' Tab? or do you mean call history? there is a call history icon but no missed call, this is because i don't have a seperate missed call tab. That said i could quite easily amend the call history icon to a 'Red' Missed call icon for you if yo want.
Sorry i was speaking about call history
Is it also possible for you to make a TFL3DTABICONSV2.theme file ?
Thank you
@ SkizZO
Yeah it's the top row third from the left. I will look in to a calander icon when i get chance.
@ timoline
Afraid i don't have the technical knowhow at the moment, i will look into whether i can do it when i get chance.
regards
Steve
Making *.theme files is really simple.
Just zip the changed manila files with Manila editor and rename *.zip to *.theme...et voila
Also another request , can you mirror some images so they all facing the same direction? (like home etc..)
Br,

hi there
any chance you could put a link for the cab file as none of the current links work. great icons...many thanks

I have been changing the links several times over the last hour so it may be worth trying again. You may also see the download countdown time countdown twice, just bear with it.

Hi Guys!
I wasn't online for a long time, i think everything has changed here
Well...i started this thread, because i cannot read through all unread threads...
Maybe i could help others with this Thread, too!
concern in this thread:
Currently im using Battery-Status + UltimateLaunch...It's very stable, but i don't like the theme anymore...also it doesnt support landscape...
So i want a new "Today Plugin".
"Wishlist" for the TodayPlugin:
- Portrait + Landscape Support
- Good looking (maybe a "modern" style)
- Stable (no Beta's, besides its stable!)
- Today-Screen integration (No MobileShell,PointUI,..., cause it's a "lay-over"-App(Reason for this: With this apps you need a hack/workaround, that the original today screen is NEVER shown!))
- low requirements (fast)
- Customizable (Define Program Pages, and define my own sms,mail,calendar,... -apps)
Which today plugin can i use???
If you don't want to help me, just ignore the thread

Truth is there is nothing that is %100 how you requested. Not yet anyway.
You have three you can look into:
Throttle Launcher (My favorite---ThrottleLauncher.com)
Manilla2D
GSmart
There is also HTC Home, but I think your more into the above stuff.
You must at least try Manila2D (TouchFlo2D).
thx very good article
thx very good article
Hi there!
I've tried Manilla 2D and...wow, THIS is what im searching for
BUT i have a lot of problems with it...
I've downloaded from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173&highlight=Manila2D
the zip file "manila.zip" (the first downloadlink in this post) and installed all apps, including the 12MB big cab "Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926.CAB"
then i installed the manilla2D configuration tool...
then i've downloaded the german translation, an copied all files in the "windows" folder of the archive to my windows-folder of my device...
then i've downloaded the "bliss" theme (tsk+wall) and copied it also in my windows folder...then i activated the tsk file...
after this, m2d was starting...but i have following problems with it:
- If i switch to landscape, m2d stays portrait...so the bottom items are cropped...
- i cant see any text on the home tab....i can see the icons of "calendar" and "missed calls", but i CAN't see any text next to it! same problem on the "settings tab"...just the icons, no text...the same problem in the HTC album (if i click on a picture in the picture tab the album shows up...if i click the bottom right icon, i can see 4 lines..i think these are the options, but i cant see any text!!
- if i go to the weather tab, i cant see anything...blank screen...(maybe its the same issue, such as the "no-text"-issue in the tabs i mentioned above?)
- in the sms tab sometimes, there is "(null)" instead of the date...in the mail app this "(null)" is ALWAYS shown instead of the date...
- where can i download themes for m2d and add it in the m2d configuration tool?
- and is it normal, that i have to overwrite the background-png in the "manilaGFX" folder to gain my own background in m2d??
please help, manila2d is so beautiful

Dude, I know that you are confused, but everything is in the Manilla thread.
This thread shouldn't be opened.
the plugin (application) in my opinion would best meet all your requirement is wad 2, eventhough it is not free but you can download a trial version. it is highly customizable and you can find some very beautiful and modern looks. this is best application if you want to replace your desktop.
p.s recommended for advanced users only

@mankaranjot:
Well...Wad2 is cool, but VERY hungry...manilla 2d is the app im looking for..now i have to fix the problems
This thread is to share your 15 tab icon sets. I didnt create any of the icons, I just sized them and put them together in the manilla files (see my screenshot below). If you like them just run the cab on you HD.
** Update 12/6/2008 ***
Added a game systems icon set. These are icons of game consoles (NES, Dreamcast, Xbox, PS3 etc.) I will add a screenshot later. THey dont match up with anything specific to your phone function lol, just cool icons.
For icons that do not have a cab pelase follow TTDeg's advice for installing in the quote below:
TTDegs said:
This is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here
First up - there are 2 manila files per icon.
I've called them Big and Small, just for ease of Ref
The Big one is the one which is displayed in the main 'window' of the phone as you drag over the tabs.
The Big one is displayed along the bottom of the screen
The Small one is displayed as you move your finger across the tabs, and is displayed 'in front' (over the top of) the Big one.
The Big ones are 128x128 pixels, and the Small ones seem to be 64x64 (but also seem to work if you use 128x128, so I need to dig further on that...) <<Mallman prefers 128x128 on both so the sizes dont change but that is just a preference>>
To use your new icons, you need to:
create them on your PC (Paintshop Pro or whatever)
convert them into manila files (Manila Editor for example)
Copy them to a seperate dir on the HD
Stop TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items [tab 2], untick TF3D)
Use a file explorer prog on the HD to copy them over the original manilas in the /windows dir. You can't do that from your PC, must be done on the HD itself.
Restart TF3D (reverse of above to stop it)
I strongly recommend you take a copy of the originals first, and put them somewhere safe
The 30 manila files are (in no particular order):
Name_____________BIG________SMALL

come on guys and gals, put together some sets of icons for mallman to install
Hi Mallman,
Slightly off topic could you tell me if you managed to modify your additional tabs to be duplicates of the "Program" tab?
I've not installed them yet as I'm trying to ascertain whether it is possible. What would be ideal (for me) is to have 3 or 4 additional "Program" tabs that could be renamed so that I could add my applications / settings / tools etc. (i.e something approaching the menu panel/s in sbp mobile shell).
Judging by your icons I think not, but I thought I'd ask anyway.
Let me know.
Cheers.

no sir, sure havent because i have absolutely no idea where to start If i were to try it I would simply copy the program tab and rename it to one of the other tabs but I dont know that it is that simple nor do I know if each tab is actually just 1 file. You should start a new thread dediacted to just that topic and have some folks brainstorm it. I will join in the fun

LMAO, thank you I find it strangely addictive. I hope the work I have done is helping you. Simply unzip the files I have posted and you an "open path" with manil editor and see all the files and what they match up too in the TF3D interface. Get a good handle on it because I want to install some of your creations as we My goal is to completely overhaul all the graphics. Just takes lots of testing changes of manila files. Not hard, just time consuming
hmmm - this is harder than it looks! LOL
I'm having problems getting nice clean lines on the edges of my pics
What res are you saving them as before converting to manilas?
I went with creating a 128x128 pixel .png file
Dumped in the icon to pretty much fill it - which looks good at 1:1 view in paint shop pro, and saved that as the big version.
Then resized to 50%, pasted that into a new 128x128 .png, and saved that as the small version.
But when I convert to manila, then drag to my HD and restart TF3D, the icon in the tabflo looks good, the bigger verson (when you drag over it) just looks 'ok', and the biggest version (middle of the main screen) looks frankly pretty poor

I am using 128x128 exclusively. Some pics I get are not sized that way so I just change them in photoshop to 128x128. I also use PS to make transparency. Post a few screeners showing what you mean becuse im a little slow and having a hard time following what you are describing
my bad
My last step was to set the transparency, and the option I was using to go down to 256 colours was resulting in some jagged edges (couldn't see them in PS).
Working better now - will plow on now I know where I was going wrong LOL
cheers again!
I can confirm however that this isn't going to be up to production standards just yet...
Pretty close now...
mallman, could you please confirm the manila name for the small stock icon?
I've updated 34588a9a, but it's the only one which is still displaying the previous (std) icon instead of one of my new ones?

No i cant actually because i gave up tryign to figure it out when i finally just updated 4 manila files and of those 4 the icon was changed. i didnt feel like doing the research of replacing them again to figure out which actually did it. I resolved myself to just changing 4 files when i want to update the stock icon I know, im a slack ass but that is just how I roll
LOL!
ok.............
Thought I had it - but I don't.
small icons are 64x64, not 128x128.
And I thought I'd sussed which one was used in the main screen...
And my stock one was right up to the edge...
resized everything, dumped it all back in.
And now it looks worse - the background icons (small ones I think) are resized to bigger than my big ones.
and the stock STILL doesn't work right.
and it's midnight.
So I'm off to bed before I end up staying up till silly o'clock LOL
Hi.
Could those icons themes be used for the standard tabs?. I haven't installed the 15 tab set (well I tried, but I finally didn't like how it looks), so I keep the standard tabs.
I suppose that if I install those iconsets the new icon will appear in the standard tabs anyway....
Thanks.
yes (I think), and no...
I haven't tried, so I can't confirm that they will - but as I've been replacing the manila files left right and centre, of the 30 I've replaced, most of them gave a 'the file you are replacing is part of the ROM, are you sure?' message.
Which I take to mean that they are the ones used by standard TF3D.
The extra files just won't be used
I can't see any reason not to try it - but as ever, I would suggest taking a backup of the manila files you are about to replace, just in case
In the interim, whilst trying not to give into temptation to pull the rest of my hair out, this is some info I've picked up along the way, which MAY help anyone else thinking of playing here
First up - there are 2 manila files per icon.
I've called them Big and Small, just for ease of Ref
The Big one is the one which is displayed in the main 'window' of the phone as you drag over the tabs.
The Big one is displayed along the bottom of the screen
The Small one is displayed as you move your finger across the tabs, and is displayed 'in front' (over the top of) the Big one.
The Big ones are 128x128 pixels, and the Small ones seem to be 64x64 (but also seem to work if you use 128x128, so I need to dig further on that...)
To use your new icons, you need to:
create them on your PC (Paintshop Pro or whatever)
convert them into manila files (Manila Editor for example)
Copy them to a seperate dir on the HD
Stop TF3D (Start, Settings, Today, Items [tab 2], untick TF3D)
Use a file explorer prog on the HD to copy them over the original manilas in the /windows dir. You can't do that from your PC, must be done on the HD itself.
Restart TF3D (reverse of above to stop it)
I strongly recommend you take a copy of the originals first, and put them somewhere safe
The 30 manila files are (in no particular order):
Name_____________BIG________SMALL

*****Note the Big Sock icon might not be right - it's the only one which doesn't seem to display when I change it, but I'm still playing - might be the icon I'm trying to use...
Ok, I have a few questions that should have easy solutions that I just can't find... probably because what I'm looking for is pretty specific. Hopefully I can get answers to at least a few of them. I will start out by saying that I am currently running the Energy Reference ROM on a Touch Pro 2 (with plenty of RAM I might add). As I find solutions, I will post them below under the "Resolved" section, just in case someone else needs help as well.
Questions:
----- How do you change the color/skin of the stock dialer? The only one that I found searching was the "dusk" dialer... I'm looking for something that I can change the color of some of the buttons (to blue or something)... someone has to have a CAB with a bunch of different colors???
Resolved:
----- First... how do you change the panel backgrounds in SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5? I'm not looking to add widgets... not looking to change the background of the Today screen (already have done that)... I'm looking to change the background of the panels ONLY. Without changing the layout of anything. Just the panels. I have tried a few programs/skins (Vostradamus, etc.)... and I just can't figure out how to do this simple thing with them. So I'm hoping there's an easier way (registry edit, setting that I'm just not seeing, etc.).
Fix: ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4766529&postcount=730 (make SURE to use WinZip, NOT WinRar or anything else)
----- Second, for some reason, I can't see the settings of "Smartlock" in the SPB settings view (as in, if I go through SPB Mobile to get to "Settings", Smartlock isn't there). However, Smartlock is visible when I switch over to the "stock" Start Menu. So is there any way for Smartlock to appear in the SPB Mobile "Settings" tab? It's pretty weird that it isn't there (ALL of the other programs/settings functions show up, but not Smartlock).
Fix: ----- This fixed itself after a clean reinstall of SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5.
----- Is it possible to keep all the "stock" icons up on top of the screen and add the clock display?
(I currently have the "data" icon, "signal strength" icon, "phone volume" icon, and "battery" icon... with room for the "X"/"OK" icon when a program is running)
I am looking to keep all of those icons while adding the clock display. Don't know if it's possible, but I thought I would ask.
IF it is possible to put the clock up there, would this be compatible with "Brian's Taskbar" to make the icons colorful? I don't have it on there yet, but I'm just wondering for future reference.
Fix: ----- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612083 (Battclock program... I'm still trying to figure out how to perfect it though). Doesn't appear to be very compatible if you have multiple backgrounds/different screens... but it'll work on at least one of the screens.
----- In the "stock" contacts, there are a few different "filters" (viewed via the menu button). To avoid duplication, I would like to have it always set to "Device Conacts", rather than "All Contacts" ("All Contacts contains SIM and device... which results in duplication). You can change it temporarily but selecting "Device Contacts", but when you re-enter it, it automatically switches back. If anyone knows of a way to permanently/by default choose "Device Contacts", that would be what I'm looking for.
Fix: ----- Registry edit... HKCU/Control Panel/Phone/ShowSim (change from 1 to 0, and they will be gone).
I can help with "third"... look at battclock. It is completely customizable and completely great. Alternatively, there is an option in the settings to display just a clock instead of battery meter in the task bar.
For the "first", try this post from the tips and tricks thread (may need to back out and read some surrounding posts to get a better idea)

Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm looking into the Battclock program, so I will update when I figure that out.
Thanks for showing me that thread for the "first" issue... that led me to the link that I posted in my first post, which is for 3.5.5 (I'm sure they're both the same... but the link I posted makes it pretty easy to understand I think).
Still looking for a solution for the color of the dialer/dialpad. I think I'm just going to have to either delete all of the SIM contacts and same them on my computer (to upload later when I switch phones or whatever).
