GadgetFreak Taskbars - QVGA - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I will be posting all of my QVGA taskbars conversions here in one location. These are all primarily ports of Tsowen's excellent work that I have been assisting with at PPCGeeks. This is going to take a few days as I consolidate everything, clean it up and re-organize. I do have a GSM mod to the block taskbar that I will be posting. Everything else is mainly CDMA, but I will do what I can to help since I no longer have a QVGA device to test things on.
When installing the Taskbars, remember to go in the following order:
1. Backup your device
2. SDKCerts Cab
3. No2Chem Battery Driver
4. Once those are installed, use Total Commander or Resco Explorer (preferred) to make back ups of all the dll's you are about to change by adding .bak to the file name.
5. Use Reso Explorer or TC to add the entire contents of the file folder in the zip to you root \Windows file in main memory
WARNING for QVGA Device Owners: For the Bluetooth Icons to work, you need to have the Opal/Jade Phone Canvas installed for this to work. I have it and all of the files you will need for it to work on a QVGA phone here.
I'm having a hard time getting things loaded up on XDA, so for now, here is the link to my main posting at PPCGeeks. I will get all of this set up and better organized for y'all soon.
One other note, these are for WM 6/6.1 ONLY! They will not work properly if you install them on a 6.5 sys.

Block Icons Taskbar Theme
Here are the Block Icon Taskbar sets, both CDMA and GSM:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am also including the Opal/Jade Phonecanvas. You will not get the Bluetooth Icons if you do not have this installed. If you are on GSM phone, do not install the Dan's HTC Touch Phone Codes Fix. That is for CDMA users only.
If you choose to install that Dialer, use and advanced task manager to shutdown the cprog function before installing and backup your system.
Install in the following order:
1. Phone Skin Cab
2. SJ Patch (if you want hte slide to answer feature. If you do, make sure you disable that feature in S2US. They don't play well together)
3. Dan's Touch Fix Cab (this fixes the dialer codes and 911)
4. Open the included folder
5. Albert's Phone Canvas Lock Cab
6. Use Resco to copy the loose files into \Windows
If you already have the phonecanvas cooked in (That's the best way...) you don't have to install this.
The MMSRes dll is for you Arcsoft users:
If you are using the Rhodium Notification Manager, there is a cab for you that will skin the signal icons and large notification icons. Do not install this if you are not using a sys of 21000 or above. This will replace the HTC Large Title Bar.
And finally, here is my revolver battery. There are 2 versions, one for 100%, 99, 98, etc. The other goes by 10s. I haven't actually tried this for QVGA yet, so I'll be interested in getting some feedback.

Taskbar 6 Elite V3.1 QVGA Conversion
Here is the QVGA conversion of TB6 Elite. Thanks to Tsowen and HTCLeener for the bulk of the work on this one.

I have to run to a meeting, but if you click on the link to PPCgeeks, the detailed instructions are there. Essentially all you need to do is install the SDKCerts cab, then the no2chem 6800 battery cab, then the taskbar cab of your choice. Just so you know, I have not yet added my GSM mods to the block icons set. That is so far the only one that has the GSM signal icons modded. It's on my list of things to do...

Thanx, i will try and report.

Thanks for this, I have a qvga device (Kaiser) and I too just get the confidence to try this, then I read something about CDMA - and I then see all these lovely icons slipping through my fingers.
Thanks for all the good work that you and Tsowen have done here and over at PPCgeeks. It almost makes me want to get a VGA device just for these gorgeous icons.
I can see this is a work in progress - I'll be patient and maybe I'll get the confidence to have a go at this...

It's really not too bad, especially when doing it by cab. Once things settle down and I get the boy to bed, I'll get my GSM version of the Block Taskbar up.

Second and third posts are updated

Great work, I have been looking for this for some time.
Thanks a lot.

Except for that when I rename phcanOverbmp.dll to phcanOverbmp.dll.bak, my P3600i makes a new phcanOverbmp.dll and then won't allow me to overwrite it with the customised one...
As the files are just overwritten, any chance of getting a cab for each toolbar? It would be much easier than tracking down multiple files and installing in the correct order...

Hey GF. If you need a QVGA device to test things on just let me know My machine is at your disposal. Looking forward to your 6.5 GSM release.

The block taskbar is installed by cab. For what ever reason, XDA keeps blocking the upload of my cab for the Elite TB.

Mega. You gotta get the little one's sorted!
Thanks for your work.

I'm obviously missing something here -
I have installed sdkcerts.cab, done a soft re-set. I only want the block icons, not the skins or dialpad etc, so I then tried to install the GF Block Taskbar GSM.cab It gets 90% of the way through installing it, then stops and tells me installation was unsuccessfull.
I know it says install 3rd, do I need all the other junk in my trunk from post number 2 as well?
Thanks GF, for holding us numptys by the hand.
Also is the elite taskbar only CDMA?

That's a new one. I'll look at how I have the cab constructed and make sure I didn't miss a security setting. The 2 file activates the single percentage point battery meter, so yes you will need it for this to look right. And the Elite TB is GSM ready.

It's a work in progress. I hope to have this done soon.

Thanks for the great work! I can't wait for some QVGA 6.5 to tide me over until I finally buy a VGA device.

I take you still have to make the cab available for the Elite?
I am kind of lost as to the manual renaming...
Is there a file manager able to automate such a thing?
I have TC but it can't be done as far as i know...

Hi...
For those who wants to run RealVGA with Spb Mobile Shell on their I780, attached please find the modified files.
Please note that the files are only meant for Spb Mobile Shell + RealVGA, and the screen will be messed up if you don't.
This is the 9 icon launcher menu (no 12 pinning icons). For the 9th icon, please do a search as to how to amend your registry in this forum.
Though this is my first attempt at changing the xml files, it has been tested on my I780 and it will work with RealVGA.
Enjoy, and please feedback if you have any problems.
How are we supposed to use these files? I tried to put them to my SPB shell install directory but still nothing happens when I tap SPB shell icon. Do I need to do some regedit or something?
sweet ill let you know.
have you tried themes? or will themes mess this up? im so happy im finally going to have a battery meter that i can actually use.
off topic but anyone has a working battery meter for the i780? one that displays actual percent of battery? thanks

1. Install RealVGA (with both 128dpi and 96 dpi).
2. Select RealVGA at 128dpi.
3. Install SPB MS 2.1.
4. Run SPB MS 2.1.
5. SPB MS 2.1 should run fine as it supports 320x320 at 128dpi.
6. Unzip the attached files to replace those stock dat files.
7. Go back to RealVGA.
8. Select 96dpi.
9. Automatically it will soft reset your I780.
10. Run SPB MS 2.1
11. SPB MS 2.1 will run under 320x320 at 96dpi mode.
Hope this helps.
To get the 9th icon, unzip and store the reg in your document folder. Click on the reg and you will be prompted whether to add the file to the registry. Click yes and the option for the 9th icon is generated.
Go to the Spb MS 2.1 option. You will be able to select the Games as an option to your SpbMenu.

Themes? Themes only select the colour that you want. However, I still have problems using the SPB MS2.1 them settings. I can only use the stock settings to change the theme.
Note that in order to run properly, you need to install both sets of dpi (96dpi and 128dpi) for the RealVGA. To get the SPB MS 2.1 running, you need to set it at 128dpi first, otherwise MS 2.1 will not run at all.
As to your working battery meter, you can try Resco.
Please do report if you are successful. With this in place, my next project will be to change the format. There are a lot of useful information in the Skins and Theme thread. Referencing will be from there.
Of course, this is subject to the time that I have.
I was able to properly install it and use it. It's very nice! I only installed 96 without 128. What i did was install trial version of ms coz the registered version had missing files...(no MA_.. files) trial version worked properly. Reg version showed nothing.
Here's what I did
1. install trial version of ms
2. copy all the files in the folder
3. install reg version of ms
4. paste all the copied folder files onto spb ms folder
5. Select no on all overwrite
6. Paste gOOndu's files. This time overwrite.
Reset and all is good
Goond,
Yeah i couldnt read the hex either or I need more time. I need to look more into it. I've seen so many nice themes for 2.1 in this forum. They change it up real nice. I could not figure out the 9th button but I'm happy you posted it. It makes my job easier. Thanks I love your release btw im so happy to uninstall my HTC Home, gives me so much space on my today now. Thanks again.

games.reg did not work for me but ill look into it more.
Installed and clicked it a couple of times and did soft reset variations. maybe it was because we did two different installation methods although it shouldnt affect anything.
My bad. It works now. After clicking the reg, I can check the games menu on settings/customize menu. After that games folder is now accessible!

heeyya great job! works great on mine too!
been looking for this "tweak"!!
you have made me very happy! many many thanks!
possible to have the layout that has the list of most used programs? or not?
sorry if this is a silly qn..
also, with this, is it possible to change the background?
i have tried to look for the qa_bkg etc but cant find in the standard install..
when i tried to install the 2.1 themes (even with RealVGA) it just hung my device with a blank screen

Glad that it works for you.
It has been a difficult journey for me, at the last count, my soft reset is more than 200 times to get this far! A lot of time is spent on trial and error on the icons arrangement, and at times I almost wanted to give up.
To those who are interested in what I did, I practically had to unzip the qa_layout.dat file and go through every xml in the dat file and modifying the coordinates and the size of the selection area.
The ma_menu_btn.dat modifications was quite easy, I just merely resize to 32x32 (per icon) instead of the standard 43x43.
The reason as to why I wanted to do it is probably the same reason as you guys out there, which is to get as much mileage on the screen as possible. Some apps running at 128dpi just couldn't make it.
I am no programmer, and it is actually the first time I am doing editing on the xml files! One thing I notice is that mistakes made in the xml programming can be found if the file is run on its own, and that actually made my life easier.
Enough said, I will try to use some of the wonderful icons and the 4 / 5 tabs which can be found in the skin and theme thread. This is going to take a while but I seek your patience as I do hold a day job.
Just stay tune....

Why some CAB installs are "unsuccessful"

This post is meant to introduce the issue of why some CAB files are unsuccessful, what causes it, and what can be done about it.
This is just some initial info I am putting forth and I encourage others who cook and make CAB files to provide their input to more fully flesh out this problem.
Have you ever attempted an install of a CAB on your device and near the very end...after the progress bar has moved most of the way, it finishes and says installation was "unsuccessful"? If so, read on...
There is probably more than one reason why a CAB won't install on a device. For instance, the CAB may be for the wrong device type (as CABs can specify what device types they will or will not install on). Also, there are security issues that many of you are aware of regarding unsigned CABS. However, in most cases, as long as the CAB is for your device-type and you either have security turned off, or accept the prompt to install then the CAB will properly install.
However, if you have ever had the issue with a CAB stating installation is "unsuccessful" after the process, it seems the issue has to do with DLL files that are registered as "shared" or "self-registering"
Below is a picture of a CAB opened with a CAB editing program. You can see that one of the DLL files (type "application extension") is set to "Yes" for "shared" and "self-registering".
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I noticed that this CAB would install without a problem on my stock AT&T Tilt ROM, but had problems when trying to install to my cooked version. However, if I turned these flags on the file to "No" and then saved the CAB, the new CAB file would install properly.
I have experienced this on several CABs, on ROMs of all types.
In my experimentation it appears that if the DLL file in the CAB is set to shared/self-registering that it will not install if that file doesn't already exist on your system and is not registered properly (e.g. proper entires in the registry).
In this particular example (this was a CAB for a dialer) the DLL in question existed in the stock ROM, but not in my cooked ROM (since I pulled out the dialer).
Quick Overview of Test:
When I installed on my cooked ROM (with multiple changes) - no good.
When I installed on the stock ROM - good.
When I installed on the stock ROM (recooked with no changes) - good.
When I installed on the stock ROM (recooked with JUST that file removed) - no good.
In all cases, if I turned the option for shared/self-registering to "No" the CAB would install without a problem.
I believe that the existence of just the single file is not always all that is needed. I think that in some cases if related registry entries of other DLLs which call upon the file are not present then the results may be the same (i.e. unsuccessful if set to shared/self-registering).
When crafting my own CABs, sometimes these flags unintentionally get set to "Yes" and I get the same failed result. Without fail, if I edit the CAB and set these options to "No" the CAB installs fine and the application functions fine.
I don't really know why you would set a DLL to shared/self-registering as my knowledge doesn't really run that far and in my experience CABs with that setting generally fail. So a developer with further skill may wish to elaborate.
I hope that someone else finds this info useful and please feel free to add any accurate information.
Amazing
You are amazing. I have been trying to install the new opal phone canvas for almost a week and nothing worked until this.
Thank you

Actually, it is that CAB that inspired me to write this (although I have prior experience with the issue). There are other problems with the opal CAB that's available, so it still might not work. If you would post in the Opal CAB thread with your results (and your ROM) that would be appreciated.
EDIT: Assuming you are a Kaiser user, if not ignore as I mean Opal CAB for kaiser...thx.
Im actually a vogue user but I got the file from the kaiser thread. You're right though, it installed but it's the default dialer half skinned like other issues. It did fix the unsuccessful issue for me though.
has anyone ever told you that your a F*ckin genius.

You are an asset to XDA. Great post.
Which cab editor do you suggest? Is there a nice free one? I'm sure the topic has been covered, but for some reason not even a decent Google search helps me out on this, much less a site search.

You don't want to let us in on your secret on what .cab editor you are using?
I guess a simple answer was to much to ask for.

First off, your position as Moderator doesn't entitle you to be a smart a$$. In fact, you should set a better example than the average poster than snide comments such as this.
The poster didn't ask what program I am using. He asked for a "nice free one".
I happen to use OCP, which is NOT free. It is however listed in the forum link I included.

It has been stated by numerous Mods, that if you have a personal issue with them or the way they posted you need to PM them, or another Mod and not air your complaints in public. It has been suggested that failure to do this could result in a temporary ban. I would suggest editing your post to something more appropriate and air your grievances in the appropriate forum.

[APP] Call Manila Control by built-in Biotouch.exe

This is not a program, but just registry settings to use the built-in biotouch.exe to call Manila Control in order to toggle between M2D and Today.
Notes:
must install Manila Control to \Windows\ before the attached .cab
the cube no longer works after installing this, but the corresponding processes (i.e. QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and APLauncher.exe.exe) may still in your memory unless you replace the .exe by dummy programs or kill the processes.
must backup the original [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] before installing the attached cube, otherwise won't be able to restore the cube.
toggling M2D/Today using softkeys as shown in the demo video is NOT set by the attached .cab

for Nike, Polaris and Vogue, pls refer to attachments of this post.
for Elf, pls see the one provided by dark.angel at post #13
Good idea, I'll try on HD when I'll have it, I hope monday.
Thank you
great idea. Although I've still yet to find a use for a second today screen. lol
is there going to be a version of this for the vogue? it seems neat but im not ballsy enough to install something not meant for my device quite yet.

Vogue uses different registry settings. please try the newly added cap in post #1. pls be prepared for bug-fixing time because i can't test it on my own. for safe, pls do a backup, especially the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch] registry key, before installing.
good luck.

surely none of the 3 uploaded version would fit the vga devices.
if you want a try, i guess the Polaris version can be a good start. pls be prepare for the pull-up screen being in 1/4 size.
pls do let me know the testing result and see whether i can find a way to fix it. if it doesn't work at all, pls kindly let me know the following registry key values on your device:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"App1"
"Cube1"
"Path11"
thanks for your interest.
thx!! its very fine!

please let me know before i make some serious mistake with my HTC touch 3G jade..Is it working on it as well?Or your program is connected only to the above mentioned phones?I needed exactly the program tweeks u wrote.It should be fantastic,but I have this conserne..
Please let me know if I can tweek my 3G jade without fear..?!

Is it possible to use this on HTC Touch (Elf)?
And also I would like to change running program from ManilaControl to any other, for example CommManager.
I've installed reg settings from the Vogue cab (is it right?), and copied original Biotouch.exe and dummy APLauncher.exe, MediaHubMini.exe and QuickDial.exe to the windows dir, created shortcut for biotouch.exe in the windows/startup folder and Soft-reseted my device.
Now when I make touch gesture the screen appears into black and nothing happens.
Is it possible using registry settings to bind touch gesture to run any exe (for example, commmanager.exe)?
Thank you for answers!

sorry i really can't answer your question because i haven't played around with a Jade before and I don't have any friends who have bought one. the main prob is, i don't know the version no. of biotouch shipped with Jade.
if you really want a try,
do a full backup (so that you can hard reset + restore in worst case)
backup/export the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch] registry subtree
try the Polaris version
good luck

Elf's built-in biotouch version is different from Vogue's. pls find the Vogue's version, which should appear in those threads about installing 4-sided cube on Elf

basically yes. the trick is in the "App1" reg key. if the app being called has a visible window and you want to use the swipe-down gesture to hide it (like the original cube), the first part of the key value must be the right class name. otherwise, like the case for Manila Control, simply use a non-exist class name.
I've duplicated my commanager.exe and mui files and renamed them to biotouch.exe and biotouch.exe.mui, so now after the touch gesture commanager is running. It works!
Here is the test cab file, i haven't tested it on a clean device, but it seems to be work. If it doesn't working, post here please.

though not totally take if off, but editing the registry keys as below can minimize its appearance:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
"TotalBMP"=dword:00000001
"Cube1"=hex:07,01,01,01,01,01,01,01,0A,C8,C9,CA,CB ,01,01,01,01,01,01
"UpFPS"=dword:0000FFFF
if you want to further cut down the size of the snoopy image that may appear for a short time, you can also change the below key:
(for Nike and Polaris) "Path1"="mc01.brn"
(for Vogue) "Path1"="\Windows\mc01.brn"
Is it possible to call manilla from any program with this gesture fix?
I mean the way I call and close cube by just scrolling tumb up or down.

T-Mobile MyFaves Port to Sense 2.5 (Help Needed from Experienced Sense Modders)

Ok, so I have started to try to port the MyFave Tab to Sense 2.5 & hit a bit od a road block.
What I have done so far is rename almost all files to fit the Sense 2.5 Naming method. There are 4 that I can't figure out what their 2.1 name is & therefore haven't been able to convert yet. So, I need help from someone who's good at getting filenames from the hash files. I believe these 4 files are what is preventing Myfaves from loading. Sense loads fine, there's reg for MyFaves as well as it appears on the Settings Page to adjust position & disable.
Also, I need an experience LUA editor. I am not good with them at all. Basically, MyFaves is part of the People Tab. That being said, there's scripts in there for MyFaves, but you can't just use the old file in the new 2.5 People Tab. I have renamed the old file to match the new one for easy cross matching. What I need is for someone to compare old to new (Sense 2.5 2016 People) & edit the new to have those MyFaves scripts. There's a few things it does, adds a small MyFaves icon next to MyFaves contact similar to the Facebook Icon. MyFaves contacts are circular, not square & use a separate contact photo frame image. Finally, there's the options for replacing/deleting/adding contacts to the MyFaves account.
My files can be downloaded "HERE". I tried to organize them so you can understand what's been done & what hasn't, as well as which file are which when it come to the old & new People Tab LUA's. The new People Tab's Mode9's are edited as needed already.

Update: Ok, so turns out it was the ROM I was using. It wouldn't allow a dll to run because the chef didn't turn off the cert protection stuff in the kitchen. Will have to work around that by figuring out how to install the cert via cab so it won't depend on that.
So, now the pages shows up, only problem is it's blank. All images seem to be named right. I found the name for one of those file, it was the slider bar notification script that makes the star show up when there's an alert for one of your fave5. So, now I need to find someone to edit those People Tab LUA's for me to be able to go further. W/o that, the contacts aren't being imported into the Contacts & god know what else might be in there.
Nice work i tested it and for me it does not work i have touch pro 2 with 2.5 version of manila it is blank

That is because this isn't finished yet. This post is for developers help to get it done. So far I have gotten it to display a blank page, but the page is there so it's loading the mode9 files which is a big step. My main problem is there are no LUA's yet for the People Tab that include the MyFaves scripts. This being said, it's need to be costume made by comparing them to the old 2.1 People's scripts that have the MyFaves scripts.
Well, just an update;
1) Hex edited myfavesservice.exe, it'll no longer autohide Home & People Pages in Sense.
2) Still having problems with scripts though. The Myfaves Page is blank & adding the script to the People Pages' scripts messes them up. Call Log/All People/People Detail all become blank. My only thought is all scripts have "require("MyFaves_manager_v1_5_svc")" added to them & a script in the myfaves.mode9 has it too. I think the whole renamed filepath thing in Sense 2.5 is causing it to not be able to find this. I thought it was a script, but all tries at finding a hashname have failed (file doesn't exist).
Anyone have any ideas?!?!?
i know im out of post but im new for this how do i put on my home screen tabs the facebook app?????

I don't have any ideas but I am following your progress... I have an Energy ROM which is Sense 2.5 but there is no my Faves for it Sooo... I am wishing you good luck and prosperous endeavors 'cause I think I'll want your finished cab. BTW, I tried your early Dev. cab and My phone was able to communicate with T-mobile WRT My Faves but like you saw the home tab and the people tab went away... also Though the website reflected that my my fav's were updated I had no indication or icons or list of faves... You probably already all know this but if not, it's more feedback.
Keep it up! looking forward to the real deal!

Thanks for your feedback. What do you mean by,"My phone was able to communicate with T-mobile WRT My Faves". Also, how did you know it was unable to communicate. I get my Icons downloaded but the contacts don't get added. The scripts for people page get broken when I try to add the MyFaves stuff from the old people page. I think my main problem atm is something to do with this renaming since the MyFaves page show up blank like it's script is broken when i haven't even touched them & theyre embedded into the mode9. BTW, I'm using Energy ROM CHT June 3rd with Dinik theme. Here's the latest CAB if you want to test things out. There's 2 CAB's in the ZIP. One to install MyFaves, the other replaces the MyFaves Edit People Scripts with unedited scripts. That way you get your People Pages back, because somethings is broken. Really hoping to hear back from a few people I PM'ed who seem to really know LUA's better than me & might see something I don't.
Things I see working,
1) MyFaves sends cmd to get contacts & turns UI on.
2) MyFaves Icons from server get DL'ed. (Wait couple minutes & check \Application Data\HTC\MyFaves\Icons. 15 images will how up, 3 copies for each contact.
3) HKLM\Software\HTC\My5\UI\#\ (# = 0-4), Images are added to Reg (NOTE: This seems to be the reg Manila reads).
4)MyFaves pages shows up, Tab Order Customizing has MyFaves w/icon & Slider notificate fades out because no notifications exist.
Things I see broken,
1) HKLM\Software\HTC\My5\UI\#\ (# = 0-4), doesn't update contact information (Name/etc).
2) HKLM\Software\HTC\My5\ServerID\#\ (# = 0-4), doesn't update at all.
3) MyFaves & some People Pages broken, nothing shows. (NOTE: To get back out of people, scroll slider to working page & hit "Back" from there, "End Key" may work as well.
4) MyFaves 5 contacts not added to contact either in HTC Contacts or MS Contacts.
Conclusion: You said, "My phone was able to communicate with T-mobile WRT My Faves". Maybe one of my EXE's/DLL's/MUI's got broken causing the broken stuff.

OK, let me try to re-explain... ROM: Energy.RHODIUM.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.03
Everything works perfectly on it except Faves... that's where you come in. I tried your ?initial effort that you requested someone help with the coding... different thread so...
Down to facts:
(Prior to finding you, after flashing new [and 1st custom] ROM) Went on to My T-mobile. Tried to get My fave's on phone. The web site lost Icons and said waiting for phone to acknowledge request/change whatever.
then I installed your cab (which didn't uninstall and I had to wipe and start over) then I got (what I call) a system/network message :My faves info updated (not a text).
Went back to the website and sure enough it was stable too. (thus the communicating part)
But since the cab got rid of my cool home tab and people tab It wasn't important enough for me to keep.
Does that help clear it up?
+Noob Question: Instead of a 3G icon I get an H. Is that the same thing? I saw a registry tweak to make a 3g icon but I actually have to wait until tomorrow until I can see if it works since I don't get 3g at my house
Ok, so your talking about the website having issues. As for home & people tabs disappearing. That will stop, I hex edited the MyFavesService.exe changing the reg it write to hide them. long story short, it will no longer hide those pages once I do get the app working.
No, I don't believe it was the site. The site said waiting for phone to confirm (or something along those lines)... That stayed like that until I put on your cab! THEN the site accepted the changes. It wasn't issues with the site... The phone didn't have the protocols until your cab and therefore the site wouldn't finish the update. I even shutdown my pc, rebooted and went back online and it was still waiting.
Oh ok, because all custom ROMs don't have the MyFaves App so there was nothing for it to communicate with. My cab adds the App.
That's what I mean. Whew! OK so I'd like to try your newest cab but the old one wouldn't uninstall so I had to wipe my phone and That's a pain in the A55. Would this one/these two present the same issue? Unless there is an easier wat to completely back-up and restore the phone. OH BTW, you said that the faves don't show up in contacts etc... have you tried the Backup FavPeople app to see if it recognizes them? If not and it does it might be a new direction to ponder.. As I've mentioned in other threads, I haven't programmed since DOS 3,3.1 and GW Basic so I'm behind the curve a little. I hope you're not offended by suggestions that may have already occured to you.
Also.. is it possibe to "dumb down" your efforts and produce a slightly different app for the time being? Like.. keep the "communication" part I described, and figure out how to get the contact recognized and DL'd BUT leave out the tab and the management part... That might solve some of the issues for now and provide a useful tool? Or am I just being greedy?

I don't know if it'll uninstalled, but won't cause any problems if it's left on device, just install the second people restore cab to fix what the myfaves cab breaks. I've been running it live on my cell for 2-3 weeks now, only thing I have to do is that people restore to get people pages back. Never tried backing up the contacts. i believe the people scripts are supposed to write the new contacts, but because my edited people scripts are broken somehow, it's not doing that. I believe what ever is breaking those pages is breaking MyFaves page as well. Probably some renaming issue, can't find some file or something.

Ok, So now I'm running The Energy.RHODIUM.23569.Sense2.5.Cookie.Jul.08 ROM. I installed your cab DragonWorld - T-Mobile MyFaves Sense 2.5 and after install I got the reboot to complete install message. I did. Upon reboot I got the Info Screen my faves on then the info screen that they're updated. the device was sluggish between these two screens. then it hung... ... I waited 10 minutes for the updated screen to go away after trying every touch and button combination. Then I reset the device. It hung at the htc sense loading screen... then I reset it again and the htc sense loading words didn't even come up... I am now reflashing the ROM. Just more feedback. the only thing I think is I should have maybe used the transparent slider one??? but I don't think I had that.
I think NRG removed one of the TAB's in the newest ROM's. My Manilafull.xml & 26948339_manila files have that TAB listed. That's what's breaking it.

Yeah he said he removed the eReader tab in the changelog
That's the hard part of adding new tabs to Sense. My final release, if I get it working. Won't have the 26948339_manila & ManilaFull.xml files in the CAB. Instead, I'll give instruction how to edit those files from your device. This is the only work around, it's similiar to how Titanium needs the plugin layouts in the CPR's for custom plugins. Too bad we didn't have a inserter for those Sense file like we do for Titanium's CPR's.

UNSOLVED BUGS
NONE
FAQs - HELP QUESTIONS:
IE shows error screen but on pressing cancel you can use it normally - this is because a package is missing in the original build. I am happy to add it but looking at the number of XDA users who use IE, I din't re-cook it. Opera works faster and better.
I removed MMApplauncher, can't access start menu now - You won't be able to because mmapplauncher has been installed INSTEAD OF start menu. This ROM does not have WINMO startmenu so please don't remove mmapplauncher. The reason is removal of start menu saves valuable 15-20mb RAM that makes this rom faster even with multitasking.
SPB SHELL wants registration - Yes it will, because SPB is paid software and cannot be cooked as crack or with key - that's illegal! However, you can remove it from add/remove programs and install a SHELL of your choice.
Finger Keyboard - It shows error or I don't like it or it's rubbish etc etc - Please install another keyboard that is available in the forum. The reason I haven't cooked in a keyboard is solely because it's a very very personal choice that change from user to user and if you don't like your keyboard, you will hate your phone!
Linux/Ubuntu users can't active sync - Yes, reason being .exe files are not support in Linux and hence you can only install programs in VirtualBox - however, I have removed few packages to save 5-7mb of storage in the ROM as Linux based users are in minor numbers. On Linux you will still be able to activate this phone as 'mass storage device' and will be able to add or remove files, photos, music etc from the memory card. Only thing not possible is - ActiveSync program installations on Linux.
If any of the above answer does not satisfy your hunger for your choice of ROM, please PM me and I will cook the ROM as you want!
I won't know, if you don't say it!
Congratulation for your 1st ROM !

Thank you very much Leeston for the support
Congrats on you new ROMs mate
We need as many cooks as possible If you are looking for more open cook-friendly roms to play around with, you can try Mangosora's 6.1 build
Thanks for this Drupad I'm still in the process of learning to cook Sense ROMs.

Thanks for the support mate!
I have already dumped Mangosora's 6.1
Am working on it so you can expect a cooked version out soon!
I am not quite sure if Sense is a piece of cake, but will try. If not, 6.1 as base and more cooked roms - that are fast and stable might be on their way
thanks ! i look forward to them when i get some free time i will try to cook!

Hi all,
Really good ROM, thanks drupad2drupad
I have "little" problem with this ROM. After flashing everything worked fine, but after some times in SPB home I see too buttons Register and Close. And of course SPB not working
I have flashed about 3 or 4 times and got same problem every time.
In real I don't want to spend $29.95 for SPB

Hi Vgevorgyan,
I won't encourage freewares/cracked SPB shells.
The one installed in the rom is 15 day trail version which can be fully activated if you have a registration key.
You can even uninstall SPB from settings -> remove program if you like and replace it with full copy as and when you buy it for yourself
I am glad you like this rom as much as I do
ROM UPDATE in first post!

Very very fast
