Hello to all,
QuickGPS updates via WLAN work fine for me (Michyprima's ROM WM6.1 v3.5), however I always have to open the program via its icon in the settings menu which does take some time.
Is there any way to create a link for it on the Today screen?
Any help is appreciated
In the programs options, you can have it give a notification in your calendar when it expires and that brings up the program if you click it from the today screen.
Hmm I already did this before but something didn't work...I will try again, thanks so far.
Hmm, didn't work so far. Is there any way to create a link from some system settings on the Today screen?
On my stock 7501 it is on the Today screen as part of the
HTC plugin.Have you tried to create a link using Total Commander
or another file app and place it in the Windows/Startmenu?
This would allow you access from 1st screen.
Thats's exactly my problem, bigtsr, since I don't know where to look for the original QuickGPS program/system setting in order to link it...
EDIT: Now I get the picture, according to the registry quickgps.exe should be linked within home launcher, however there is no quickgps.exe anywhere, only quickgps.exe.0409.mui...any help from the ROM experts (Michyprima R6.1 SPL3.5) would be appreciated.
Problem solved; in this ROM quickgps.exe has been renamed to SeaSGEE.exe, however all registry entries still refer to the original file name...I don't understand how quickgps could actually be started with a wrong registry link???
Very well, if anyone else has problems with quickgps on the latest ROM R6.1 from MichyPrima, it could be related to this.
Friends,
How can I increase the no. of shortcuts available on the Programs tab ?
Thanks in advance,
Kunal

How 'bout if you could add another seperate launcher tab with unlimited(maybe, I've added 48 already) shortcuts? Its another tab for tf3d, not a seperate plugin/app. I think I got that, still have to check something, but downside is you have to enter the shortcuts into xml file instead of linking directly from programs list. Good thing about the xml though, you can enter the link, arguments for the link, and an iconpath. If no iconpath is selected, then it will use chosen program's icon. Also with xml, you can save xml file so that after a flash or hard reset, just copy your custom xml back into windows again to get all setup again. I should have it altogether tonight if anyone's interested.

Ok, here's the files. I started on att manila(which is where tab comes from) and now have it running on non att manila(. This has been tested with ONYX theme which is using the latest htc manila version(1.2.35845.1_1813.6), which is where pics came from. I had up to 48 shortcuts made up, so I don't think it has a limit. It can be an odd number of shortcuts, doesn't have to have 3 on last row.
Its made from the ATT tab that was used for ATT specific links. I removed the ATT links and images. I added the tab icon links for tab bar back into the icons.mode9 file, 61f866ab_manila. Included lua scripts and ATT tab icons (1a5a121d_manila and 2e35e5f2_manila) which you can change to match your theme. The heart of it is the att_tabitems.xml which is where you have to edit your links for the shortcuts. All of files in zip need to be placed into \Windows folder on your phone. I can't make a cab, because you will have to edit the xml file to use this first. You can make shortcuts to open web links, files, folders, or apps. IconPath can point anywhere? or left blank. The softkeys are also set in the xml, so make them what you want. They currently connect to home and programs tabs of tf3d.
Here's some examples of xml, in these I was linking to icons folder I made in root of device named Realize(from the realize icon set).
App Link
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Total Commander"
Path="\Program Files\Total Commander\cecmd.exe"
Arguments=""
IconPath="\Realize\TotalCommander.png"/>
Web Links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Opera"
Path="\Windows\OperaL.exe"
Arguments="http://m.google.com"
IconPath="\Realize\Opera95.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Google"
Path=":DEFBROWSER"
Arguments="http://forum.xda-developers.com"
IconPath="\Realize\GoogleNew.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Ebay"
Path="\Windows\iexplore.exe"
Arguments="http://ebay.com"
IconPath="\Realize\ebay.png"/>
Folder/file links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Games"
Path="\Windows\fexplore.exe"
Arguments="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"
IconPath="\Realize\Poker.png"/>
Soft Keys
Code:
<Softkey>
<LSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://home.page" Text="Home"/>
<RSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://programs.page" Text="Programs"/>
</Softkey>
You will also have to add this tab page to your 26948339_manila file for tf3d pages. Use the following code, just change page number to fit your xml.
Code:
<Page Order="10" Name="atttab.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Launcher">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\ATTtab.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Preview" />
</Page>
Thanks Showaco.....Great work indeed !!
However, I would like to bother you a bit more.....
- I'm not sure which files I need to replace.
- Is your solution specific to ATT ? I use an unlocked version with original 1.93 ROM.
- I don't have any themes installed....I hope that shouldn't be a deterrent though.
Please help !
- regards,
Kunal
does'nt HD Manila have more program tabs than diamond manila? I am sure i saw this on Vic's latest rom.....
A New Great Work Again
Hi Showaco.
Thanks for the new great work. I am also following your thread on Raphael "BBExtreme 4.0 the REMIX ". I think you nearly solve every details related with manila
Could you please help me to fix "HD People Tab" prb that not works properly at my Diamond, Official ROM 1.35 ?
I do not want to get details here, can I send message to you from PM ?
(I try to find a solution myself by learning , sorry searching manila prg, get into details of m9editor,lua scripts,mode9 file....
But as you can guess, I was not able to find a solution )
Waiting your response,
Many Thanks
Great work Showaco!
One quick question....could you please tell me if it is possible to change the default icon size on the program screen?
I am trying to ditch the square button backgrounds and use larger 128x128 icons.
Any help would be appreciated!
The Cab Version
All the thanks to Showaco for this great application / add-in
For the people like me, how want to have this wonderfull utility, but are afraid to damage their manila (not want to hard-reset their phone).
I want to share my CAB file that is working at my Diamond with Official,Stock Rom Ver 1.35, Manila TF3D 1.0.1630.15, without any themes installed.
This cab is created according to the guide given by Showaco.
This cab will add new Launcher page as page-10, just near to Application Tab. All icons used in that cab are standard icons already install at your phone.
You can try and see if it works for you. Do not worry, UNINSTALL is working perfect, At least works for me.
NOTE: It has also been reported that CAB uninstallation may not work properly in same cases, like using a different language, not English.
But please do not forget that **INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK" **
NOTE: This cab will not work if you are using a different language,not English.
So please before trying my cab, please take a full back-up of your phone or at least take the original copy of the following files from your phone "\Windows" folder if it is exist.
"1a5a121d_manila, 2e35e5f2_manila, 4e061a9c_manila, 5e8e48df_manila, 7b1bc561_manila, 36d20e8f_manila, 61f866ab_manila, 586d37b6_manila, 786c5ee1_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila, att_tabitems.xml
(At my phone, I only find 3 files; 61f866ab_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila)

I tried the cab version, with rom 2.03 greek. It totally screw up my phone.. The new tab was added but language went to english , softkey was gone, telephone provider changed, and many other. I uninstalled but some problems still remain so i need format .

If it does not work you, then you can create your own CAB.
Here is the installation steps;
Upload CAB to phone
Turn off TF3D
Soft Reset to make sure nothing is still in memory
Install CAB to phone
After installation soft-reset will be asked.
Turn on TF3D
Configuration Your Launcher
You can modify ""att_tabitems.xml" at your PC by using Notepad. After the modification is done connect your PDA with Act and copy "att_tabitems.xml" file into your PDA "\Windows" Folder. The new configuration will work. (No need to turn off TF3D or make a soft-reset)
Please report your test results with your phone configuration. If it works without any prb, then we can share this great Showaco add-in as an manila application
Although I am not a expert like Showaco , please find my answers that may help you

I try to explain what I have done. I take all the files from Showaco, except "26948339_manila" file and then modify it according to guide. Actually if you check your phone manila files, you will find only 3 files (26948339_manila,61f866ab_manila,7564a2d6_manila).
Please check all the files supplied by Showaco with your phone. Take the original copies into your PC. And then give a try
Also you can use my CAB file which has Uninstall facility. If it works for you, then no prb. Otherwise, you can uninstall and give a try by yourself

Sorry Sosimple
I really do not want to get you trouble like that. I was trying to help some guys who are not so familiar with manila files like me
May be it is because of your language is not English.
Sorry again

Νo problem man. When i tried i knew there was a risk . I write it for others to know that there is a risk. After uninstalled everything went back to normal except of the icons of manila . All the icons looks like 2 times. I dont know how to describe it .When you move your finger to go from the one icon to other, the next icon (to which you move your finger) shows before you go to it. Does anyone have an idea if i can restore that?
Thanks,
I tried and the manila files of showaco and it works ok ,but i still have this problem..
The key in registry for programm tab shortcuts are here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Originally it has keys from 0 to 17 which respond to respective shortcuts. Adding new equal to adding new shortcut. .
For example:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0
(ab)DispName Bubble Breaker
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path \Windows\Main Menu\Games\Bubble Breaker.lnk
ab - string parametrs
dw - dword
If you add new one, for example
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\20
(ab)DispName
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path
You will be able to see one more empty space for icon on program launcher tab.
If you set the parametr (dw)IsReadOnly to 1 you won't be able to remove the shortcut from program launcher tab (you would nee to change parametr back to 0 in registry first).

Thanks but, i tried it and, i found out that you can ad as many empty tab shortcuts, but when you click to one of them to ad a shortcut for a program, after you have ad 18 shortcuts , you cant ad another one. If you find how to solve this it would be amazing ..
anyone find how to ad more than 18 items?
I get that there are 18 spots to add shortcuts but half of myne are filled with pre-set programs that came with the phone. When I try to delete them they have a little padlock on the corner of them and I can not delete from there.
Anyone know how to delete these? Someplace in the system folders there has to be a way...
That is correct, i have the same problem.
I have 18 quick url's, and i can add a new link. What happens though is the following:
x x x
x x x
etc.
x x y
z
"x" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"y" == 18th "n"
"z" == button to add lnk
the y is the 18th lnk, the z is the button containing the "+" that makes it possible to add a nineteenth lnk.
The problem is that clicking "z" opens the correct menu, but after selecting a program, the icon remains empty (a standard black/gray icon with rounded edges and _no_plus in in) and clicking the button doesn't trigger an action as far as i've experienced it. There is however created a new icon with a "+" in it, resulting in:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
In this situation "m" is the 18th lnk, o is number 19, a lnk with no content, a black/gray button with rounded edges containing no icon. "p" Is the 20th icon, black/gray, rounded edges containing a plus.
Clicking icon "p" results in "p" turning into another "o" and an additional icon which acts as "p" did previously:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
It is 1.20AM in the netherlands now, i've had some booze but i hope i've explained the problem good enough.
edit: i forgot to mention that i am wondering too how to add a 19th lnk, new buttons get added but the don't give any desired response.
Hello I have ROM 2.03 and NewTabsToManilla_bXJh.cab installed. Because of its probably old version my SMS Menu is not working on 2.03. What should I do for let it working and still having Communication Tab in TF3D ? Thanks for help.
this worked for me. i read there's a version of tf3d that is in use and if that sms tab is edited, you lose the virtual softkey use and i'm in that same boat.
this cab will work though...i forget who's is it, but i didn't create it. the original cab and post title is all spelled funky
Thanks I will try that - should I uninstall previous version of NewTabs.cab or should I install your posted cab withou uninstalling?
i'm not going to pretend to actually know, but its always safe to uninstall the previous iteration that did not work and then disable tf3d, install, and enable tf3d again
Hello, i wanted to install like my previous diamond the action screen, but the cab remap the softkey only in today's screen without changing the softkey with touchflo actived.
Is there a way with some tool or editing some register value to remap those softkeys in touchflo?
I think Manila2DConfig will help you.
There are options about remap the softkey in today's screen.

Thank you mate! It worked perfectly!!
@ wojtekml
is that a forum site? or an installer? could you upload it here coz the site that you have given is block here (saudi arabia)... tnx in advance
henzxy pay attention using that software, because i think that is for a previous version of manila 2d and tweaking some parameter cause manila to crash ( that's not a problem 'cause u have just to restore the previous ones).
But now i've encounted a bigger problem like opera doesn't open anymore from the internet tab ( still works if launched from launcher tab) and i've just resetted it; not so bad since the internal storage is nearly empty ^^

You must install Registry Editor (regedit.Mrln_ARM)and find this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila2D\InternetWidget\
If You have there OperaEXEFile you can change manually patch to opera.exe file (that opera from the internet tab)
If you don`t have there OperaEXEFile you must create a "string" value named OperaEXEFile and add patch to location of your opera.exe file.
Ps. Sorry for my english

Just cut and paste to google

hello..
first, has anyone addressed the issue of Fim not working without using the external browser setting for winmo 6.5.3+
every 6.5 rom ive flashed fim works just fine can look at all my notification and inbox in the program itself
...anything above 6.5 = no dice
my second question is...is there any reason the AT&T keyboard cab wouldnt change the layout in a tmob based rom?
im using J Lavoie 23541 sense 2.5 and the keyboard cab has no effect at all on the keyboard.
thanks
keyboard fix
ok, figured out the keyboard issue by searching for a long time and trying different orders of installing these. make sure to do it in this order.
install the att keyboard cab
then install the rhodiumkbd cab
restart
settings, system, keyboard config
menu, config, load... goto where these are on your phone and choose the xml file
after it says its configed, click update config on bottom left.
and there u go
fixed keyboard
as for the Fim, seems using the external browser was the fix for the internal internet not working, so maybe the next released update of Fim will fix this
