TF2D default PIM PI8 - Touch 3G General

Hello Forum,
How I can change the default PIM on the TF2D to PocketInformant 8 in the Home-Tab of Manila.
Sincerly,
Nick

Hi.
Sorry, but no answer from me. But I have the same request.
I know, there is a solution with Touch 3D, but I don't know if this will work for Touch 2D.
Any ideas out there ?
Greetings from Cologne,
Arniebirdy

I don't think M2D has that capability. The best you can do probably, is use M2D Customiser and customise the softkeys and point it to the favorite apps.

Solution
I had the same problem....
Just choose in Pocketinformant settings, that you use it as standard PIM. After that you have to make a copy of pocketinformat.exe rename it to calender.exe and copy it in to the windows directory

That's probably the best solution. There is also a way to patch Manilla using a tool provided on this board.
ThumbCal does the same (rename itself to calendar.exe)

Disable the Cube in Touch Cruise

1. Unzip the Disable Cube.zip and copy the folder Disable Cube in storage card.
2. With resco explorer copy the four exe files from the folder Empty Files in windows folder.
3. With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableCube from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset.
The cube will not function anymore and you will have an extra 6,5 mb memory program memory available.
Attention: After you replace the original files, programs like SKTools and MemMaid may show the files "useless" and prompt you to delete them. DO NOT delete those files. If you do delete them by mistake then just restore the files as described in step 2.
In the Real files folder you can find the original files in order to come back whenever you want. Just copy in windows folder and change again the value in registry.
cannot overwrite, it said all files is read-only.......
Τry with resco explorer.
Finally I got rid of this useless cube, and I have more 7MB to RAM.
Nice finding man, Thanks!

yes, i did it now, sorry about confuse your description, many thx!!
re-enabling is just following the opposite?
Yes my friend.
Wow worked like a charm, THAnk U Very Very much
6.8 MB free and get rid og the Cube
Weird. On my Touch, with a custom ROM I built that hasn't biotouch.exe and other cube resources, that means I would have 7MB more free RAM compared to a ROM on which it's present and active. Yet it's (definitely!) not the case.
Believe me I wish it would be the case

I did win about 2-3 MB on the normal low-memory Elf.
Thanks for this solution !
Tanx, works like a charm!!
Nice and it works, but a big Problem (HTC touch cruise, WM 6.0):
When i make a sidescroll in emails or sms i get an error message, something like "couldn`t open biotouch.exe". Any solution ?
With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableCube from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset.
Did you have made this?

Copy real biotouch.exe back to \Windows

.................Why ?
i know you guys said this will give you more access to ram, but does removing the cube speed up the device at all (noticeably?)
i wish HTC would have just had an option to disable it in the system settings.
oh well.
Maybe someone will make a software that can do this automatically for us?
To complete and correct this error try this:
With a registry editor in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings change EnableScroll from 1 in 0 and make a soft reset
There is a similar metod to disable HTC Home?

[SKN] Calculator skin (Manila style FINAL) VGA, Cab installer

hi all, i recently seen a nice spb calc diamond skin, and i decide to make my own much more like manilla dialer (white), hope you like it !
Portrait AND landscape .
screenshot:
as usual install spbcalc wich is in the zip, then copy the 2 gifs to your /windows
EDIT: you must copy the 2 gifs files with file explorer like resco or total commander FROM YOUR DEVICE, don't use activsync!!, when do it properly the system must ask you : are you sure to replace existing files ? then answer yes to all, this way it should work...
EDIT 2: QVGA conversion by vitornog SEE PAGE 3 !!!
EDIT 3: "Ready to use" CAB file by Rondol1 on PAGE 4,thx man !!
EDIT 4: Updated portrait (with smoother fonts) see attached zipped gif, copy it in windows folder...
EDIT 5: FINAL VERSION SEE: SPB CALC MANILA STYLE FINAL.ZIP, I have not included QVGA in this version cos the image quality is not good in QVGA and i don't have a QVGA device...Installation as usual...Waiting for someone to make a "ready to use" CAB
EDIT 6: Now with cab installer , many, many thanks Rondol1: thanks to him just install the cab and voila !!
Updated with landscape mode...
Cool, now a new Manilla skin for the windows Agenda?
Thanks man nice job.
Cheers.
thank you for saving us from the ugly moth*r fu*er wm skin calculator!
why can they do a decent skin for such a common but useful application? why?
thanks for your great effort, I'm going to give this a try, I like it, it's simple and clean interface.
It doesnt work. I get the black skin that comes with the .cab .. but not this skin. I copied the Gif in to Windows folder .. what have i done wrong?
may be try a soft reset (if not already done)
...did the system ask you to replace the old gifs ? if not, you surely unzip in wrong folder or apply path when unzipping, the gifs must be in windows folder not in windows/spbcalc.../
please check, and tell us.

same for me on my diamond, & I've already copied the 2 attachment skin files to window folder, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I had the black background too, this was when I tried to copy the images via activesync into windows, it did not prompt for overwrite.
I copied the files onto the internally storage, then copied them and pasted them into windows folder on the device using file explorer on the phone, it then prompted if I wanted to overwrite.
It works with the method I just did.
how do you get into landscape mode?

Installing themes/manila files without using TF3D Config on a 1.93 o2 ROM

Hi All
First of all I am new to all of this but have spent the last week trying to figure out what to do but failing badly - therefore apologies to you all if my question could be easily found through a google search ...., but I have failed to find it
So at the heading says - how do I install a theme/manila files onto my Ignito without using TF3D Config - I have tried copying them across to the windows directory but still cannot see them listed under the Today settings.
I am using TF3D, on a 1.93 rom on a O2 UK tariff
Fingers crossed someone will be able to help me in simple - idiot proof - instructions
Thanks all
Jean
Ermmm - in light of the fact 77 people have looked at this but not replied does that mean ....
a. Its a really stupid question not worthy of a reply
or
b. No one knows the answer
a lot of people use tf3d config on 1.93 roms with no known
problems.give it a try.you can always take it off again and
return to your stock rom.
Hi i have a 1.93 rom which had the o2 theme, i installed the original black theme on it using tf3d config and ive had no problems.

use total commander to copy and paste the files into the windows directory!
Is there actually a reason why you're trying to do this? TF3D Config is a quick and easy method for changing your theme so to try and accomplish this manually seems needlessly complex. Which, I'd guess, is probably why no one's answered your question; it's likely that no one has ever tried to do it manually as TF3D Config does it all for you.
For the record I've got the stock 1.93 ROM on O2 and I've managed to change theme with TF3D Config without any problems at all. My girlfriend's done the same with her stock 1.93 Vodafone ROM.
Hi All
Thanks so much - the problem I am having is that I can't find any themes within the TF3D config programme - so for example - it asks for a path to the file containing the theme - I highlight the theme location but it then does'nt load
Am I being really dumb!!
Thanks again all

loool OMG select the folder where your themes are located!
You can't select TF3D themes in the Today settings. A WM6 theme (.tsk files) yes, but no Touchflo.. You'll have to either use TF3DConfig> Create a folder called 'themes' (without quotes) in your storage card and put the xxx.theme files in there. Use tf3dconfig, press 'path', doubble click storage card, highlight themes, and press 'ok'. There has to be only .theme files in there, no folders or zip files, they don't work...
Or if you want to copy files to the windows directory, the method is to extract all the manila-files from a theme. Copy and overwrite all the manila files to the windows folder. Folders, zip-files or .theme-files do not work. Only manila files. I wouldn't recommend this one, but you gotta do what you gotta do..

Thanks again - I've done exactly as you say - and in fact that's what I have been doing - yet no theme is available within TF3D - I'm trying to install a manila theme called Black n Blue - I get a warning saying I must have 20mb free - which I have - so at a complete loss as to the problem.

Hmm this is weird.. what ROM do you have? Is it stock? And what version of tf3dconfig are you using?

Rom: 1.93.206.3 wme - Original o2 VERSION
TF3Dconfig: 0.6.7
It's very frsutrating as the process should be simple - yet installing a manila theme in anyway seems impossible - I can change the picture background via Flo and of course have a WM theme if I turn off Touch Flo - just not install a theme that intergrates with TFlo - thanks for the time and help
Yes I can imagine. But on the thread about tf3d config, it says 'Please do not install a Theme on a 1.93 ROM!' Maybe he's referring to stock roms? I also have a 1.93 rom, but it works without any hassle. You are not willing to update to a custom rom?
Have you tried to copy all the manila files to your windows folder? Use total commander.. original explorer does not work..
I think that's what I'm going to have to do - just less hassle if I can get away without replacing the rom - never mind it was worth a try - the weird thing is even copying across to the windows folder- via ActiveSyn - also does'nt work - so a bit stumped
Thanks for all the help though
You would have to use Total Commander to to copy files from your 4gb storage card to your windows folder. It doesn't work with activesync or explorer..
Ahh okay thats good to know -off to try!!!!
Perfect - fiddly - but worked a treat - it was trying to copy across via Active Syn that was the issue - hugely appreciated thank you
It's worth noting that this can't be an issue with stock ROMs because both my girlfriend and I have successfully updated our TF3D themes using TF3D Config and we both have stock 1.93 ROMs.
Not that that helps you out at all, but at least people reading this will know it is perfectly possible to do this using a stock ROM.

Same here, i have tried many themes on the stock o2 ROM with the TF3D config with no issues.
I can't believe so many people out there don't realize what the problem is. The aforementioned "Black and Blue" theme (and many others) is NOT a .theme file, so the TF3D Config application CANNOT be used to apply it. It is instead just a bunch of manila files that need to be copied into the Windows directory (with Total Commander from the sound of it). I have had the same problem with the same theme.
Are we being dumb in that there is a simple way to create the .theme file? From a collection of manila files?

TF3D links customization

I happily own a HD since Thursday after a Diamond and a Pro: HD is far better!!
I tried the utility posted in the diamond forum to change the default links to time and calendar, it does not work, after the patch the TF loops without starting.
Did anyone try already?

Download app from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
This seems to be a very great tool but I've only experimented with remapping my calendar.
Disable TF3D
Run SSMaPa.exe from phone
Check Extended Init and press Init
Click on setting and highlight replace calendar
Check "patch enabled"
Under new program type in the path of pocketinformant
-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/PocketInformant.exe
Delete arguments
Type in directory where exe file found
-In my case it was /Program Files/WebIS/PocketInformant/
Click save
Click deploy tab and press deploy patch
Next you will need to copu these 2 files from your TP windows directory using activesync and resco explorer or a similar program to a folder on your PC.
_mpmantoday.dll and _mpman.exe
Next download file editor from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?p=2721128
Unzip folder to extract files
Once unzipped open Unsign folder and drag your two extracted files one by one over Unsigner.exe. Very quickly a msdos window will open up and it will seem as if nothing has happened but don't worry the files have been modified at this point.
Now just overwrite the 2 files with the same 2 files in your TP windows directory.
Go into your settings and reenable TF3D and you should hopefully have remapped the original calendar app with PocketInformant.
All donations, thanks, beer, coffee, women, kudos should go to Svenso and Schreda over at xda since this was done using their apps and help. I'm not worthy and only a messenger of my good fortune.
Edit: Just in case I've confused people, this is the post that made it all happen http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=208

Don't forget to unsign
Don't forget to unsign the changed files with the unsign.exe of the file editor tool - otherwise TF3D won't start!!!

install it with Diamond TF3D Config 0.6.7
Sorry...
I should have been more specific i have 1.93 rom which it it doesnt work on, i meant any other way then TF3D Config.
I have "instruction", how to do this:
1.Instal Manila Customizer (on Internal Storage!).
2.Make new Directory in "\Internal Storage\Program Files\Manila Customizer\Icons\".
3.Extract files from "*.theme" by WinRar (or another APP) into new folder.
4.Create empty ".jpg" file, named as Your folder, and copy it to "\Internal Storage\Program Files\Manila Customizer\Icons\".
5.Run "Manila Customizer".
6.Click "Options->Change->Icons", and find your folder name near "Item Name:".
7."Click to Apply Iconset".
8.Click "Exit->Exit and Start TF3D".
I think, it can help you...
PS. Sorry for my English

TF3D Config does work on 1.93 ROMS, I've no idea why the TF3D Config thread says that it won't as this has been proved time and time again to be false.

1. TF3D works on 1.93 for some.. or most^^
2. Rename "Blabla.theme" to "Blabla.zip" or Blabla.theme.zip whatever u want... then u can extract all files and copy them to your Internal Storage.
From there u can use Resco Explorer or another explorer to copy the manila files to /windows
overwride everything and restart TF3D Today Plugin.
