thanks for quick answer... it was a big help...

But do remember that Full VGA mode is a hack, unsupported. Apps may work, they may not. Most do work fine.

thanks vijay555, but I don't understand what you mean... what do you mean with full vga is a hack... by the way, I have bought it : ) it is a very nice toy with a fantastic display... and it is so quick as my BA....

v is refering (can't spell it - damn dyslexia) to a hack that is avaliable that makes the screen size 4 x bigger, this is quite nice for fitting more information ont he screen but remember everything is 4x smaller and hard to read. also resco explorere doesnt work with the hack (takes up 1/4 of the screen). tomtom has no problem.

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2691419&postcount=2741
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:

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.

Thanks. As this is related. Does anybody know how to get the new email wizard called up instead of the old one?
I hope im not hijacking but I figured it was directly related. Why should someone install the new one when they can't do it without running a shortcut?

How do I upgrade Opera? It's quite a few thousand builds newer than the one I'm running, but the installer says that the old version cannot be uninstalled. If I just continue with installation, there's bound to be issues.

Not necessarily. It is almost identical, files wise. It shouldn't be an issue to uninstall it if you have issues. You prolly have opera cooked in, so it will never be able to be uninstalled.

Thank you for the great sharing!
Im just wondering, is it possible to port the contact application, which integrates all your conversations (e.g. emal, sms, phone history) with a particular person

did any1 try Diamond2 Sensor with apps regedit ?
and what is supposed to do ?

can anyone ripp diamond2 start menu?

When I installed the keyboard the Compact Qwerty keyboard disappeard! But the full keyboard is defnitely better.. Any way to get the compact qwerty back..?

I already have. The only thing we are waiting for is the new manila from xboxmod. The contact editor is 90% tied into manila. So it is useless without it.

It is to auto-rotate without the need for third party apps. There is an app called G-Config that configures the sensor for apps that aren't already supported.

That is one of the drawbacks from some people. As far as I can see the compact qwerty went away with this new keyboard.

awesome collection, my respect goes to the devs and the enthusiasts, who took the time to port 'em

- Do you have the Diamond 2's new icons
- It is very nice
- I just got some

the keyboard is amazing..it seems a bit sluggish though unfortunately..but much more user frendly

here are the icons. They are all contained in this dll. Manually insert them or link to the dll. BIG thanks to carburano for this.

if I use Diamond2 Sensor with apps regedit does not function well in the album photos horizontal photos will not change

[Frst release] New application launcher

HOW TO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vTCAbs7GCMs
I got tired of using standard omnia launcher so I wrote a new one. You can see it in action here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4WF2atnnD8
This is the first release so it can have some bugs. It was tested only on samsung omnia so if you get it running on other devices please let me know.
If you'd like to configure the favotires,icons etc. find the installation folder - usually in Program Files and look for files:
Favorites.txt - add any application to the list and you should see it in favorites,
Icons/Icons.txt - will assign new icons to apps (name, icon). You can add any png 48x48 or 32x32 image - see Icons folder.
Exclude.txt - add app to the list and it will be excluded from the app list.
This is first release. Probably I will add some configuration latter.
Consider donating for further releases.

Which resolutions are supported?
How to config?

WOW!!! I love itt....I love uuuu!!!
Would this work in my Qvga Htc touch...Im sure I won't be so lucky...I try anyway....
thanks!

OK, I've just installed it ,it works, the scroll is great, but it's really hard to launch programs, it's like it doesnt response

If you start it for the first time it may take some time to cache everything, but then if you run it again it should run faster.

wow, judging from the video that looks INCREDIBLY smooth.
great work, would love to see this for other resolutions

this looks awesome!! hard to believe its a first release because it looks better than most final release apps
hoping for a vga version soon

Looks pretty slick.
Looking forward to a VGA release.

Great job ! Love it !

actually, it works just fine on QVGA. This is great!
I was wondering if you could make something exactly like the TouchFLO 3d all programs launcher? that would be amazing

First impression... running as smooth on my Kaiser (QVGA). I installed in on my storage card.
Nice work.

Tried on my Omnia.. it locks for a while at the beginning, while the tab " favourites " is selected and you press the tab " find ".

Hey, That is pure awesomeness !!!
working great on WM5 QVGA Jamin/Prophet
but i have NET.3.5 i dont know if it can work without it

Ok, it's true, after the first time it gets really fast and smooth (I really love it), but I still didnt get my shortcuts work. Any idea?
Htc Touch. WM 6.1
Now it saw, it only launch the shortcuts if I slide to right, is it right?

Excellent app!! Just one question/request. Would you be able to implement a "category" system? Something similar to how iContact handles categories, if at all possible. If so, this would be an absolutely killer app. (Not that it isn't already. )
Keep up the great work!

It does work with my VGA Axim x51v, but it has some quirks, like. And its insanely smooth! I have never experienced such smooth scrolling on my PDA before, even though I don't like the menu lagging a little behind my finger (but I suppose that to be intended)! A great application already!
Could you tell me where you got this smoothly animated list control from?
/edit: Oh, and it seems to kill all the regular icons until I soft reset. See screnshot 3 for details.
/edit 2: I did not yet get it to start an application ^^ But I find it awesome that you can create such smooth applications using .NET CF.

[PATCH] Squared Grid Start Menu mod

No, I don't have it. Only in 90x90.

This is awesome. I'm SO glad you're still developing stuff for COM2 as well as COM3. Do you think it's possible to bring the movable shortcut feature from COM3 to COM2? It's like the one thing I really long of other than threaded email, haha.

Very nice piece of work! BTW I really like you background your using. Would you mind uploading it?

I tried last night but only got a hardresset. I have 29022 cooked with GhostX 7.0.3 OSkitchen, then I installed NewSDKCerts.cab and do a softresset (OK) then copy shell32.exe from WM6.5.3 folder to windows folder of my HD2, then copy the .cpr files and did a softresset, but the device did not pass of second splash screen. Does it means I have WM6.5.5? Thanks in advance! and thanks for all the work you share!!!

Take a look at your kitchen files, and see if he has a bold font fix. It he does, then remove that, and use ultrashot fix for bold fonts...

thanks for the advice ai6, i have unchecked the keyboard font fix with the gwes.exe, then added to the kitchen the utdrv from this link (importing the cab) and i have no bold problem in the keyboard so i understand is working ok.
Then try again the Square Start Menu 6.5.3, but again didnt pass the second splash I have 29022 ... am I missing some thing else? thanks in advance

No I cannot get it work I have cooked GhostX rom (29022) without the fix by gwes.es so get the bold issue in keyboard (and dialpad talk button), then I installed utdrv.cab (thx ultrashot for the fix!) and the bold issue is solved, then try again the Square Start Menu 6.5.3, but again didnt pass the second splash
