Manila2D on Sony Ericsson X1 (Instructions and file in here!)

Hi, been home from work on a sick leave all day, and being bored to death started looking at the possibilites of perhaps making Manila2D available on the X1 (Portrait-mode only though)!
Instructions goes like this.
1. First, install the latest version of Manila2D. It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
Follow the instructions found on that page.
2. Next, install the VGA-update made by pijulius, everything explained here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429224
(the file you're looking for is the last link in the first post).
3. Go to Settings -> Today and uncheck the TouchFlo-plugin.
4. After you have done that, download my file, extract HTCHomeSettings.xml and move it to the Windows-folder of your device.
Go back to the settings for Today and check the box for TouchFlo. Voilá, working.
If your ROM is not WWE, but perhaps Swedish or something, you can follow the instructions in the last answer of this post, this will fix alot of problems you might otherwise encounter:

Thank's to: Herg62123/others for Manila2D, pijulius for the VGA-version, darth maximus for his QWVGA-version that taught me alot, and ababrekar for the HTCHomeSettings XML-tutorial.
Will continue to work on this to see if I perhaps can improve it somehow
Screenshots:
Oh, the background image is taken from a QVGA-Manila2D-theme and resized to WVGA-size, renamed hh_fw_background.png and put in the windows\manilagfx-folder.

Bet it looks awesome on that screen.
Good job!

Great!
I really want my X1 - NOW!

Oh my!!! That is nice.
Can you make Manila2D work on one of the panels? Or does it remove panels?
I suppose the next step would be to get the new version of Manila from the Touch HD.

Hehe I'm unfortunately not that good This is a today-plugin for the Microsoft Today-screen, which is one of the panels!
Yeah, hopefully we'll get a version that's made for WVGA from the Touch HD when it's released!

I'd really like to know that too!

I suppose someone will have to look into the Xperia Panel SDK:

Too bad I cant program : (((

I've already got that installed... but unfortunately they only support C++ for Panels at this time... am waiting for 'em to support C# and VB.Net CE.

Lets hope it wont take them too long to bring out a new version! )
Nelsh:
Which prototype do you have and how well does it perform .. panels and touchflo interface?
Would be good knowing on what the final device will be capable of.

Sorry I havent answered..been too busy trying to figure out this xml-thing! I have a 256 MB RAM-prototype..obviously I love it, wonderful phone! Even better now with the Manila2D up and running!

How's it handling the panels and overall performance with the 256 mb?
Any bugs you've noticed? How's the keyboard?

Did you add this as a new panel along side the other panels or you completely remove xperia panels?
and could you try TFL3D next time wonder how the speed is going to be with the 380mb ram version

Even with 256MB and the latest ROM X1 is fast enough. The keyboard is OK, I can make comparison only with E90 and TyTN, but I think that X1's is better.

This isn´t a new panel or something, its a today-plugin that runs on the "standard" today-screen, which also happens to be one of the panels!
Unfortunately there isn´t any good versions of TouchFlo 3D out yet!

Any idea if it will work on other WVGA devices, especially Toshiba G900? As far as I know G900 has only 128 mb ram so that may be a problem.

Doesn't work on my G900, cycles message "Tap here to launch Touch 2D... Launching Touch 2d... Tap here to launch Touch 2D"

If you just install Manila2d (without the VGA-icons and without my HTCHomeSettings.xml), does it work then?

I installed non-HTC device patch, and now it's working. It's quite fast.

[3/12/08] HTC Touch HD TouchFLO 3D for VGA Devices (like Diamond or Raphael)!

Hey guys,
Even though I don't have a Diamond or Raphael, I decided to take a stab at this one, because I've seen many people requesting it.
So, without further ado, here is the download link for the dumped Manila from the HTC Touch HD:
http://www.4shared.com/file/74338802/4bedbf7a/MBarvian_Blackstone_Manila.html
And if it doesn't work, the link to the Touch Pro TouchFLO 3D:
http://www.4shared.com/file/74338804/a28e1a4f/MBarvian_Raphael_Manila.html
Please report back with your findings!

Hi my friend, i´d like to try this HD Manila but your links don´t work, can u please upload somewhere else?
Cheers

yes, like the ability to customize manila (change order of tabs, etc.), (should have) a smoother experience, and a whole new stock tab!

updated links, should work now

that's ok!
it is very easy to customize. I believe it's in the Settings tab that you can change the order (left to right) of the tabs by dragging and dropping. Also, you have a stocks tab on your Fuze?

This's probably a dumb question, but what's the different between yours and the one release from Mun_rus?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443777
Is this with the weather tab position fixed?
Thanks.

landscape mode supported? I'm waiting for someone that tweaks manilaHD with action screen from raphael to port it on xperia

BTW TOuch HD is WVGA. this one apparantly is for WVGA because I've tried and can't see all the bottom part.

I'd like that answer too. Any perceived problems in just trying it anybody (assuming the device has hard SPL that is)?

Doesn't work
On my Athena (VGA, WM 6, original ROM) I tried the Blackstone TF3D, after install it went into a loop
1 - "Tap here to launch TouchFlo 3D"
2 - "Launching TouchFlo"
Then back to 1 again, after a few loops it froze
After complete uninstall of Blackstone, I tried the Diamond TF3D, all files copied but no setting, or program to launch, it also did not appear in Settings/Today/Items where it could be checked.
Was looking forward to giving some better feedback than this but neither TF3D runs at all.

does this issue affect all tabs?
I was aware of this, but thought it would not affect all tabs

HD Theme tool

Is there a theming tool for applying new theme's to the HD?
Have seen a few cool ones around but no idea how to apply them.
Paul

yeah would also like to know how to. i know the question must be stupid butt being a noob at wm....
i come from symbian lol

the application is..
diamond TF3D config.. and for the how using it.. search button friend..

I think you use TF3D config (originally for the diamond). At your own risk though, and backup the manila files first I think.
I'm gathering informaiton as I find it here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Custom

I've found that using that doesn't display the themes at the right resolution though for the HD?

you guys are installing diamond themes. Install an HD theme with it and it diesplays fine. There are a few themes created by giz in the themes and software section for the HD.

WORKS ON HTC TOUCH SERIES, XPERIA 1, ....., OTHERS I HAVEN'T TESTED MYSELF BUT PLZ TELL ME IF IT DOES!!

I already had the first regedit done but the second seemed to make it even better. Thanks.

Someone could test to change the decimal value to hexadecimal value 7fffffff ? I think it should be better.

not a huge difference but yeah it is better

it doesnt have to be 80866 right? just spam some omega huge number? like 241341 ? for both. does it harm the system or is there some limit to it?

I am thinking the higher the number the more pressure is required. I read somewhere number "1" was good. We all want a light touch. Almost capacitive.

well i tried it on my tilt and it actually makes the touch screen a little better.

HTC Jade the 3G touch with official name...I see more slowly than before,or at least not a big diff. only in negative way.With other tools you can change it back to normal or you can give other numbers.
with advanced config tool 3.3 the best.!
sorry thx helios

Worked great with Touch Cruise (Polaris).
Thank you!
