Just a fairly simple idea that occurred to me, I thaught it would be very useful to have a small application that just exchanged files. For example when copying manila files to windows it would be useful if you could exchange the new file for the old one and then when the mess was made it would be easy to just press swap again and all would be as before.
Select file, select destination, press ok and that would be it, the origional windows file would now be where the new one was. If I'm not being clear enough I mean, the windows file would be "backed up" automatically to the location of the file you are exchanging it with, ready to swap back if necessary. Think about it!!
Well I can't make such an app. Does no-one even have a comment on the idea, I think a lot of people would use this if it existed. Or is there already something that can do what I am asking?

you could use a file sync program, most of the good ones have the ability to connect to virtually anything.
I pay for one called "Super Flexible" it has a portable install, if you are interested i could send it to you with a(my) serial?
PM me if you like the sound

Thanks for your reply. Probably not a good idea to mention serials here but thanks anyway. I will have a read up about that and see if it can do what I was thinking of.
Had a quick google on that and it looks rather complex for what I want. The software I want would be a simple tool that only copied to the windows folder while making a backup of the files it was overwriting at the same time. It would not do anything else since there are so many tools that do everything but this already, like Resco or TC. I think a simple tool like this would be of benefit to the whole community. At the moment to say install a new clock in TF3D I might make a .cab or just copy the file into my windows folder with TC, then if I don't like the new clock, it is not so straight forward to simply uninstall the new clock. If I delete the files or uninstall the .cab my manila will not revert back to my previous clock, but it will revert back to the original clock built into the rom, so I have to make yet another installation of the previous clock. I have had a lot of clocks, some I made myself and some by others (whiskeybro and mbord). Often I am just trying a small change, like a date colour or a clock hand or a slider and with the app I am proposing it would be so easy to just switch back and forth. I also seem to be trying a lot of other stuff like new bluetooth icons or shellres192 dlls or phcanOverbmps, I hope you see what I mean.

but what you want it an on-the-fly file changer that needs to access the root of the device (not the internal storage) so this would have to be achieved through activesync, as this is the only way i have seen the windows dir of the device on my pc.
since this is the case you can do this through windows explorer by changing the view settings to the following:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Put a check in the top box, and remove the check from the bottom box.
then when you plug your phone in, select activesync (you dont need to have a setup as this works if you select "connect without configuring"), then you can browse the windows dir and backup and change what you like.
if this solution is not good i can look into writing something.
How about you look into the code of Diamond Config. It does something VERY similar except it deletes all the manilla files first and then transfers them over. It also has a backup feature. IF you could modify it and make it not delete and just overwrite, then it shoud work. Or PM the creator of Diamond Config.

How about a converter from jpeg to bitmap? What can I use?
cktlcmd: GIMP and paint.net are both free and are more than capable for simple jpg > bmp conversion.
However, even free-er than free, load a jpg into internet explorer, choose file > save as, and save as a .bmp. Voila
Diggia - I'm seeing you everywhere old friend! I only registered on your board the other day. I'm getting lost on how many boards I'm registered on, and how many apps I have to update for you guys. I'm spending these relatively quiet days doing updates on apps, one at a time I love your skins btw. Great stuff, great webpage.

Thanks very much! Didn't know I can do it this way.
I was visiting your site and saw VJBassHue. I wanted to ask how can I change the color, there was no explanation on your site.
Another question please, out of topic: How do you setup SmallMenu to show your desired folders or applications?
cktlcmd: VJBaseHue. Have a hunt around for ZeBoxx's posts/theory on the matter (also his enormous contributions in the Wiki).
VJBaseHue is, like most of my stuff, a command line tool.
If you need any help with command lines (I'm sure not!), check here:
http://vijay555support.host4phpbb.com/viewtopic.php?t=30
check out ZeBoxx's example shortcuts that come with VJBaseHue.
Then use his online chart, choose a colour, and edit the shortcuts.
eg
\program files\vijay555\vjbasehue\vjbasehue.exe 187
I think - from memory!

I'm using the Plus version, but basically you just point it towards a folder, containing subfolders or shortcuts to other folders, and it parses out a menu from there. Extremely customisable, too much so perhaps, but once I made the effort, I haven't changed my setup on both WM5 and Wm2003.

Yes, I got as far as this. I too bought the plus version after I read your recomendation about SmallMenu. I am glad I did. Basically my question was misunderstood. What I want to know is how can I change the format of small menu? I checked the settings in small menu and it has no options like the one showed on your picture from your above post. How can I make it look like your settings?
I was using the bitmap conversion to change the windows icon on the start menu using SmallMenu. I was successful to change the windows start icon to a Palm icon. Just playing around a bit.
Christian: sorry, I'm still not quite getting which bit you can't customise?
Do you mean like the folder icons, eg how I have a star for favorites? Or something else?

Yes, the folder icons, etc... How did you arrange it that way? SmallMenu has no check lists as to which applications would be allowed to be showed or suppressed.
Thanks for your patience.
Hey, thanks for your patience!
Ok, Assuming you're talking about my top level menu, !Favorites etc, I use the ! to ensure important folders come before any others. They're arranged alphabetically of course.
To get the icon in the menu, eg the star for favorites, you need an icon library in a dll or .exe.
10:
Make a shortcut (best perhaps with notepad the first time, after that use an explorer program) and write:
30#"\Windows\PHMShell32.dll,-173"
Save that into Icon.lnk.
Here I'm using the icon library that came with PHM Tools. Very useful.
Stick the Icon.lnk into any folder, and probably after a reboot, you'll have a star for your folder icon.
Goto 10
break;
Ok. So now you have nicely iconed folders, just arrange your subfolders appropriately, and SmallMenu will parse and cascade .lnks and subfolders into nice menus.

I tried to create my own Comm Manager skin.
I'm not very used to programming but i'm very cabable in edit existing Programs, so i chosed to take Schaps Black Comm Manager to start from.
First i did extract the cab File, and used Reshacker to open the dll File. I replased the Wallpaper Images and then recreated the cab Installation File with ZipStar (which served me well before in creating cabs).
The Problem is, that the Installation aborts at approx 2/3 with an Security Warning (that never happend before with my other Install Files)
I dont have a clue how to fix that.
Additional Information:
I used Pics with exakt the same Size and File format as the original ones. (bmp 8bit and "fixed colors"I downt know the exact term in english)
I use the original Vodafone WM 6 rom
I want that Wallpaper (yes i know that this is a jpg and not the exakt size)

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
second step would be to replace the buttons but i wont try befor i get the first thing working.
So i hope someone could get me in the right direction.
And sorry for my bad english
I know what you did wrong Before editing any .dll or .exe, you need to uncertify it, edit it, save it and re certify it, otherwise they won't work. Search for "unsigner" and "msigner"
I'll have a try thnx so far
It worked!
Thnx...
It doesnt really look like i want it, but i think that could be worked out
Glad I could help

I thought that this effect was my mistake by making a not matching "Color Selection", for i used the standard "System (Windows)" Color Table with 256 Colors at my first try.
However, there has to be a key that defines black=transparent somewhere, as there is a key that defines pink=transparent in other Programs. I hope to find that somewhere in the Installation Files and i hope it is not burried somewhere deep in the Regestry or in other Windows System Files.
But i dont had the opportunity to try so far, because i had to work in the meanwhile. But i'll try for shure tomorrow in the evening after my work.
Your Skins are very good work btw. But i think i'll not angry you by saying: If you want something to be the way you really want it, you have to make it by your own ( or find someone doing it for you ).
I quite agree with you, I am just like you, when you want it can
I finally managed to make the skin, but it looks awful due to the 256 color restriction. I made everything in trying to adjust the picture settings and the color table (the shading effects are to uneaven).
BTW:
I didn't made it possible to display the true black color. But it is possible to make a "selektive color correction". A reduction of 1%-2% black is enough to get it displayed and nowbody will be able to notice that in the picture.
Ok i have a first concept. As u can see i have not changed the buttons correctly, but it gives an first impression how it would look like when finished.
This is a real Screenshot from my device:
I'll continue on it later, when i come back from my work.
Ok it is almost done.
Here is a new Picture of my Comm Manager.
Landscape has still to come and only the butons shown are supportet yet.

Usage:
- Tap and hold outside of a PictureBox element and select "Load Configuration File" *
- Exit is in the same menu
- Tap on a picture and sound plays
- ???????
- Profit!
*Due to an irritating bug in the .NET compact framework, files can only be seen in "user areas" such as My Documents, so you must place the configuration file there, but providing the files path are correct, the resources can go in *any* folder
Sound files can be in any format, you will hear the system default beep if the file cannot be played. Images can be in any format, and will be scaled to 100x100px when loaded in. If you want them to be sharp, try to keep them as close to this resolution as possible
Note: This has been made in the QVGA environment, but should scale to VGA correctly, images will have to be 200x200px to be sharp as they are scaled up.

Edit: Forgot to say, i've included a test set, although there are no sounds in it. This can be edited/removed, and is only really there to give you a head start, and to save me explaining how it works...

Glad you like it. I'd have liked to make it a little simpler to use. If I had a folder browser object, I could simply get a folder to look in, and it'd be alot easier to configure and move around...
Alas, it's not in the 3.5 conpact framework, so i'd have to make my own. If more people like it, I may consider improving it though...

It was compiled for 3.5, and probably won't run with 2.0. To open the config, you need to tap and hold at the edge of the white area of the form, and a menu will appear. Select the "load option" from in there.
For the program to "see" the config file, it has to be in "my documents" either on the device, or on a storage card/internal storage. The config file *does not* have to be in the same place as the resources, but the file locations will have to be changed. I'm afraid, as I mentioned in the first post, that this is a limitation which I have no immediate control over, unless I make my own control... Sorry
As can be seen in this scr the ini file should be visable below the Templates folder but the config load does not see it.... normally the file type would indicate *.ini etc... but instead says "Configuration Files

Sorry about that, for some reason the IDE likes wrapping things like the filters in "s
The filter was set to '"Configuration Files|*.ini"' rather than 'Configuration Files|*.ini'.
Try re-downloading the archive from the same place, i've corrected it now. You can use the same config file as before. Apologies for my silly little mistake

Hi i know this sounds cheeky but could you post what you have done so we can use it as some of us are too lazy or stupid to do it ourselves. It would be good if people could post there sounds and pics too so we can all see what our kiddies prefer. Thanks again to brins0 for doing this and also to schmeichler who started the ball rolling.
Once i`ve seen how people have done there`s i`ll have a go myself!
@johnboywilson
OK... to use my config you must copy the "Learn Animals" folder to the root of your "Internal Storage". Follow Brins0's instructions to load the config from your "My Documents Folder"
Don't become too complacent however.
If your not running on a Diamond or you want to store the "Learn Animals" folder in a different location you will have to edit the "Learn Animals.ini" to reflect your chosen path.

Cool your a star i`ll give it a go....
Wow, I didn't realise that such a simple program would be such a big hit. I may try and change the way configurations are stored to make it a little easier, if I can work out how to get just a folder name. Then you wouldn't have to have a config file at all, just a folder with images and sounds labelled 1 to 6.
By the way, it will work with any kind of image and sound, not just PNGs and WAVs. I only used those to demonstrate, coz they are the file types which suffer least from compression.

One thing I could try would be forcing the form to be the top most window at all times, but this means that you cannot do anything until you close the application, or another window insists on being the top most form.
Edit: another way I thaught of doing this, would be to hook into the event for when the form loses focus, and then re-show the form when the event is fired. Although this would mean there's no way of getting out if there is a problem with the program... The best thing to do would be to ahve an option in the menu, defaulting to on, which will keep the window focused at all times...
I'll experiment later on for you... Check back later

I've made the proposed changes now, and the form is always on top now, irrigardless of whether there's another form active. Unfortunately, sometimes the upper bar shows through if another application is opened, but after tapping on the form, it vanishes again...

Hi!
I'm a longtime lurker, ever since I got my Touch HD when it first came out and I NEEDED to have an english rom instead of a dutch one. Thanks to this place, my phone runs exactly how I want it to (most of the time ).
Except for a decent app launcher. I HATE the win6/6.1 scrollist ones, allthough the startmenu after that sucked a little less. I liked the yotacenter launcher, but in the end I just ran out of space and had to hit the "all apps" button too often and scroll through a huge list.
So I wrote my own in c# under .net 3.5.
And, seeing as I got all my tweaks and fixes from you guys, I thought I should give something back; in essence a quick and dirty app launcher which does exactly what I want: organise the programs I use the most.
It's a catagory per page, has menu, contextmenu and top-scroll-bar driven UI and you can add your own background:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I wrote it to be as device independant as I knew how, but I've really only tested it on my Touch HD1, so I'm really curious as to how it runs "in the wild" (or even on any other HD ). To save some effort, I've just packaged the .exe, which should run from any location. If it doesn't, \Program Files\AppGrouper\ should do it.
It should come with a default background and an icon...for this initial release [call it a beta] I didn't create a cab, so you'll have to copy/edit an existing .lnk file to get the program to show up in the windows\startmenu\ .lnk files so you can use a launcher to launch my launcher (yeah, I get the irony ), or just start the app from the exe.
Anyway, as I said this is the first application I'm releasing to the public, so please give me some feedback I have no idea what "unknown unknowns" this app'll run into on different machines than my emulator and my own Touch HD. The only deletion the program can do is to a specifically named .xml file it generates itself, so it should be safe enough
PS: as I was entering the tags to this post, I realised that this type of software could have been made and released many times: I've only used MS's launcher and the yotacenter one, so any ideas and/or other similarities to other launchers is coincidence and a case of simultanious devellopment (or in my case, retarded devellopment ). Again, any feedback is appreciated, from bugs to implementation to "you've totally ripped off x!". 'Cause I didn't, but I'd like to know about x
Anyway, I hope someone can use this!
Nice apps. The Title Folder box ought be longer to fit the text
Hehe
Ok, so I guess I'll have to set up an auto resize routine for the textsize and the textbox ... check back in a day or two
BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.

BTW, what device did you use this on? I'm curious to know if the program works correctly on devices other than touch hd's, too.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I use on Topaz, see my sig
Thanks
Thanks for sharing!
I think mortbutton can do better than this
Ok app. thanks for sharing
By default can you pick up start menu and folder under it as group?
Else I think mortbutton can do far better job than your program. + .netcf 3.5 requirment
Thanks for sharing it. Few things I noticed
while trying to add an to a folder a drop down menu reveal 3 options - the first one is to add an app, what is the second one? it is blank on my tp2?
after running an app it stays in memory. is this how you designed it? i would prefer if it closed after running an app
finally, can you list here launchers that you came across that are standalone apps, meaning they do not sit in memory or eat CPU. i am looking for something like that with folders/tabs like yours and self-close after use.
thanks for sharing. i have one single question. i have installed it on my herald, but i cannot add more then one app to a group. am i missing something?
Sweet launcher! Thank U
I like your application!
As being an anti manila user Until now I was addicted to Program Finder plugin (attached) running on the Today Screen. Unfortunately the Today Screen does not have the SIP toggle in the bottom bar plus sometimes the Today Screen needs a refresh, due to Program Finder being an very old program; its messing up the Today Screen.
Therefore I searched the whole internet and finally after searching for 1 year I found [attachment]ToggleInputPanel.exe[attachment]. I'm executing programs via icons by running Easy Today Launcher.
Your application is a welcome alternative, thanx again! o/~
...I can't seem to find a straightforward answer to any of this. I've got a TP2 from Sprint that has the gray-ish interface with the orange "trim" or highlights or whatever you would call it.
I've been wanting to change the theme on my phone for a while, but finding a simple solution is worse than finding the proverbial needle in a haystack. Everything seems overly complicated JUST to change how things look. With basic WinMo it's extremely easy, but manila/TF3D? Not so much.
After scouring the interwebs, I finally found a way to get rid of the bottom curtain over the tabs, change the clock to a white flip clock, and have the backgrounds on all tabs. I essentially just want to change the Sprint color scheme to that of the stock black/white from HTC.
I've looked at programs like Chainfire's CFC GUI editor, but I can't even figure out how to get started, aside from connecting through Activesync. I'm not a complete n00b when it comes to themes on WinMo or HTC phones, but TF3D seems elusive at best. I feel like I'm so close, but yet so far away! Is there anyone out there that can help a fellow TP2er out? PLEASE!?
Here are some pics that might shed some light on what I'm trying to accmplish. Notice the orage part of the tabs, and the "grey out" when sliding between tabs. I want change the former and get rid of the latter (which I've found on this forum, but I can't figure out how to do it). Also, the gray parts of the interface I wanted to change to black.

I don't know what to do with the zip file in the thread. It says replace the original manila one with this one, but I don't know how to do that.

You just have to have a lot of spare time on your hands to create themes. You need a png editor to create images and size them. You will need to place the images in the exact locations that they are in the manila files. Chainfires program is the easiest manila editor to use hands down.
You will need total commander to move files from your storage card to the windows file. http://tcce.s3.amazonaws.com/tcmdpocketarm.exe
Best practice is to first disable htc sense before putting in your alterred manila files.
start
settings
today
items
uncheck htc sense
after installing the manila files recheck the htc sense.
You need to know what kind of manila you are using
start
settings
system
device information.
1.Find a slider theme on XDA that matches your manila
2. download it to your desktop
3. Use the cab2oem to extract the cab
4. use chainfire to extract the images
6. Change the images to what you want
7. Use chainfire to put the images back into the manila files
8. Place the new slider folder in your storage card through active sync
9. disable htc sense
9. Use total commander to transfer the files to your windows folder
10. enable htc sense
Or if you find a slider you like with a cab just install it and your done
The basics of chainfire from osrix
1) either extract or put clock files into a folder
2) inside that folder create a new folder called PNGs
3) open CFC Gui and select the folder with the clock files in..it will then read the manila files and show them on the right hand side as images, this will allow you to get top know which file codes relate to which images -essential!
4) in the tools dropdown of CFC select Export to Pngs, now point it to the pngs folder you created and let it do the rest. it will let you know when its done.
5) you now have Png images to work with in PS!
6) the most important thing when editing the images is to make sure the new image is exactly in the same position as the original on the canvas, I do this by making the original image layer slightly transparent so that i can switch it on and off to check the position of the new one, and when i am done either just turn it off or delete that layer before saving.
Thanks for the help. I'm getting there, but I can't find ANY sliders for Manila/TF3D 2.1 (which I'm using), that have the stock Rhodium colors. I've been searching all day. Everything seems to be for Sense 2.5 And it's not just the sliders. It's themes in general. I just can't find anything.
So I actually managed to find a theme for TF3D 2.1, which pretty much does what I'm looking for (it even turns 'All Programs' into four columns!) However, I still have the ugly orange Sprint color for the highlighted tabs. Is there something more to getting rid of this than changing the icons?
