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:
Click this link for a VERY cool rewrite of this application;

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.

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

Windows Media Player Today Plugin

Well i have finally found a working app that allows you to control your windows media player from your today screen. attached is a image and cab to install. big thanks goes out to the guys over at Artemis forum especially tom_codon for the cab! doesn't do volume but maybe someone can take it apart and add that.

Spb ToPlay cab file
From here

yes i kow about sbptoplay but that does not control your media player. it gives you another media player. this is a imate plugin that allows you to control your media player from your today screen. allows change of songs and play/plause/stop controls.

It plays my WMP10 playlist so that's close enough for me.

not for me and probably others so here is another option for those that want full functionality.

After re-reading my response I realized that may have come across rude... didn't mean to!
I just meant that I thought it was a WMP plug-in.

its more of a htc plugin for windows media player. no prob

First off, I love the WMP application, awsome awsome appl, I really think that Microsoft will pick up this idea.
My reason for this PM is ask you how I can get my windows live search bar to be transparent. Donations will be in order. Please please please.

I installed it on my Black 2.5 phone, but the plugin doesn't show up under the Today plugins. It doesn't show up under the Remove Programs applet either. I'm starting to wonder if I shouldn't have soft reset immediately after the installation like it prompted me to (should have powered down, then powered up).
Can anyone who got this to work please describe how you installed it, and the OS you're running? Thanks!

im running black 2.5 but dont remember if i soft reset or not. i recently did a reinstall of black 2.5 because i had the lost memory card issue in media player and went to 3des.3 but switched back to black bc u know the saying back on topic. i reinstalled it i belive before the vingular video cab which does a soft reset. try to reinstall the app once more and soft reset afterwords if that doesn't work post again and we'll try to figure it out.

Nope, didn't work - subsequent cab reinstalls didn't even prompt me for a soft reset. I did a shutdown, then restart but that didn't do anything either. Installed it to both SD card and main memory.

i had the same problem when i took the cab out of the extended rom. i then downloaded this cab and it worked. hmm go to this thread and try it from there. who knows maybe itll then work. if not then well keep trying.

Yup, the link in that thread worked - the filesize for the CAB is different though. Thanks for the pointers!

updated firts post with correct cab. thats what u get for trying a few till you find out that works on hermes sorry guys!

It is importnat to note SPB program is 10 times bigger compared to this solution

[APP] FEWidgets (Omnia like widgets, need it done VGA)

This is an app that puts widgets like the Omnia on the today screen. The only issue is that it doesn't support VGA yet (hence the reason for the post). I used SecondToday to get another today screen, loaded FEWidgets, and mapped the top volume key to go back and forth between TF3D and the today screen with FEWidgets. It worked liked a charm, with no lag or hesitation. The widgets worked fine by controlling comm devices like bluetooth and WIFI. The only thing you may have to change is the wallpaper in the programs folder in order to get VGA (480x640) wallpaper to cover the whole screen (once you get them in the folder there is actually a widget you can change them with). FEWidget does use the entire screen, so other today screen plugins can not be used. The only problem is the widgets are small (QVGA), and looking to you guys to find a solution. I haven't had a chance to look at the files, but I will to see if the widget icons can be manipulated. It is damn cool though. A simple button press takes you to another screen with widgets!!!!! The Diamond engine handles it so well, it should have been intergrated. Here is the link to the thread, and all credit goes to nicodega for an awsome app.

hi guys,
frankly speaking, this application is nice to see but useless.

ok so I can not find this mod mentioned in the thread you posted, nor can I find it via search which more or less leaves me no chance as to ask you again in the wrong thread if you could point me to the mod or the file to get those icons changed.
Thank you in advance and sorry, I do know its the wrong thread. As it should be a simple question to answer though I would highly appreciate a hint
cheers

Just tried it out.. And it is really nice! However.. It is pretty laggy..
Have a look at this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doOLS2oPTGY
How have they made it so fast and smooth? And there is more widgets there.. Maybe the got a newer version ?
Oh and maybe i have gotten this wrong, but as i have understood this, you guys have takin this today plugin out of the omnia right?

well thats str8 up on the omnia... we are dealing with porting it do a different resolution... i'm not too sure why else it may be lagging but i'm sure it will be smoothed out in the coming releases.
One thing i really like is the screen rotation of the omnia in that video... is that impossible to get for our diamonds?

thks but don't work on my diamond

Does anyone know how to assign specific buttons to toggle this in SecondToday? All I see is right and left softkey and neither of them seem to work anyway. Ideally I'd like the Home key to toggle between TF3D and FEWidgets.
Secondly, if I run the FEWidgets alone I can move them around etc. but if it's loaded through SecondToday I cannot, is there a way to fix this?

Thanks for your response
Worked on this during the summer, mostly because i wanted to read the books myself
Regarding the VGA version,
Had problems with dynamically calculating the height of each page as the VGA device i tried the app on played tricks on the font size... 12 px font height, as an example, means nothing anymore since WM tries to compensate by resizing the fonts at runtime...
I think i solved it by adding a feature in the exe file that does the text box calculation. Have not had time to try it out though.
Ill keep you posted
Ciao,
Lars

VGA version ready!
Ok everyone, Just finished the VGA version. It works fine on the emulator so i think it will run on your device as well

It may be just my fault, but I can't seem to change pages. A left swipe right?

Thanks for this! I'm really keen to read some of the works by that occultist satantist HP Lovecraft!
I've tried to load the VGA version here's what I did:
1. Copied HPL directory to storage card\program files
2. executed Gslide_install.exe
3. executed HPL_Install.exe
4. copied font to windows\fonts
5. executed HPL.exe
6. Face of satan worshipper shows
7. tap screen, hear music, white screen with top bar half trimmed off.
8. Can't do anything except minimise or close.
Context: HTC Touch Pro, EnergyROM Aurora, WM6.5.
Please help! I'm keen to fully understand Cthulu and how I can open a stargate through sexual magic!

Hmm... Will check it again...
Regarding the frozen white screen, this is supposed to last like 5 seconds. After this your supposed to see the library.
Try bringing up you keyboard an press space, just in case the pause mode toggle has messed up. The symbol means that the app is in pause mode.
Get back to you asap

Nice. Good way to introduce people to GSlide too.
Installed on Sprint Touch Pro (VGA, CDMA) -- working fine to load app, book, chapter, and for scrolling up and down, but I cannot seem to get it to change pages with a gesture, and have tried every variation on 'swipe or 'flick' or that I could come up with. Any thoughts?
Thank you for this collection, and the cool reader. Great work so far!

Unsure so far about the sweep problems...
D-Pad left/right is mapped to paging as well if you have it. So is the keyboards left/right keys.
Ill be back shortly

same for me. I'm running MightyROM6 on a TP. I hit the space bar on my keyboard but didn't change anything. When I executed HPL.exe, I could only see "Pocket Collection" and part of the "The HP Lovecraft"; when I executed GSlide.exe, I could see the whoe top banner correctly. Thanks for trying to get this working for VGA!

Fixed sweeping
Okidoki
Fixed sweep bug. I think
Download new GSlide.exe from
http://81.93.138.210/gslide/gslide_0_9.zip
Drop this in your /HPL/GSlide/ folder.
Enjoy!

Running the GSlide.exe in the HPL/GSlide folder works as well. The HPL.exe was made to get a nice splash and a custom icon.
Will fix the splash bug tomorrow

for VGA, only lets me close or minimize; nothing to choose from or view.

Hi fredcatsmommy,
does the pentagram symbol show up? And disapear?
Did you install as according to my readme files?
Does the music play?
Thanks

Possible fix for white screen
Hi,
If you dont get the library on start-up use this context.xml file in the HPL/GSlide/Context/Default folder.
This just adds a new menu item which lets you reload the library.
Get back to me

Updated main download
Hi Everyone
Updated the zip downloads at the site with the new files.
Ill keep on bug hunting tomorrow

manila 2.5 cab for stock roms - it works (mostly)!

NOTE: Updated the text file on 07/04/2010 with additional info after feedback.
Hey, has tried this cab manila 2.5_2012.1225?
I found out about it on forums after much searching. I wish I could post the links but because I'm a new user I'm not permitted
It works pretty well for me so far I just need some help trying to fix a few things like getting landscape mode to work, getting the photo browser to work properly (you can only browse ie. no slideshow or enlarging photos), getting the wifi tab to work in settings etc.
If you need help installing it just ask, I have all the necessary files and instructions - just don't know if I'll be able to post the links or upload them?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ignore the above - I have resolved most of these issues. I have attached a text file instruction on how to install this and where to get it in my last post below.

Deleted!!!

Deleted means what?

Got the photo album to work now

Got landscape mode to work as well
Everything working bug-free now - just a few of the tabs in settings like gsensor calibration not working but nothing serious. Phew, no need for cooked roms.

I would like to try witht the lastest official rom

Can you let us know what additional steps are needed to take after you install to get it optimized on our phones? What are the remaining bugs that still need to be fixed? I read the forum and it looks like there's alot of extra steps... this sounds great though, look forward to hearing from you...thx!

Instructions for installing manila cab
OK for all who are interested, I have uploaded a text document detailing how to go about getting this Manila CAB to work. So far I'm very happyThere may be 1 or 2 tabs that don't work in the settings tab but they really don't bother me - one is Gsensor calibration for example. Let me know if this works. I had to try and search for all the links again so I hope I got them right for you.
Known issues thus far:
1) Music doesn't play when the screen is switched off
2) Album searcher can't see videos
Am trying to get these fixed. Will let you know when I find anything.

Just one thing you must be aware of: without installing this I had about 100mb program ram; after installing with all the fixes it goes down to roughly 70mb. It's not a problem for me because I don't demand a lot from my phone and never use more than 1 application at a time but I could perhaps recommend installing netnerds custom business rom which is ultralight and then trying this CAB over it. If any of you try this approach and have success with more memory let me know

Hi
I followed the steps and most of things work perfectly.
A few things that doesn't work for me, maybe I am doing something wrong
1. My location doesn't work
2. Music can't continue playing when I turn the screen off
3. No video in "pictures and video" tab and no landscape mode.
Thanks

Did anyone else have problems with the weather? If so try this cab file. I found it wasn't necessary for me but it was for the previous version of the manila cab file. Please note that you need to update the weather manually at least I found this to be the case. Personally I don't mind this. As far as the weather screen saver goes, I have never actually seen manila 2.5 in live action, only in videos so I don't know how exactly its should work but it does work full screen in the background but only when the home tab "reloads" so to speak, when it plays once through the animation and then returns to normal. I'm not sure if it's supposed to show the weather in the background continually without end - I thought not or it would drain the battery?

For landscape mode you need to press the 3rd "<" key on your phone.
I haven't got any videos on my phone so I haven't been able to test if it can find them or not.
Is music supposed to carry on playing when you press the left hard button? If so it doesn't mine either.
