I decided to write a Manila Customizer that will work Similar to HHC for Kaiser.
The app can be unzipped anywhere but i suggest \Internal Storage\Program Files\ManilaCustomizer
The Clocks are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Clocks
The Icons are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Icons
The Sliders are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\Sliders
The TopCurtains are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
The BottomCurtains are stores in Whatever Path\ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
The app will look for a .jpg file in order to be able to display and add a Clock theme and same goes for icons etc
So if you want to add a clock Called FireLighter then simply Create a Folder :
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter <-The Folder where the Manila Files are
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter.jpg <- The image that will be displayed
Note the Jpeg and the folder has to be the exact same spelling.
If the system finds a .jpg it will look for a folder by the same name and move all those files into \Windows upon selecting the Clock Set.
Same goes for the Icons and all others
There are a few special files in \ManilaCustomizer\*.txt. When an Item is applied the files for the Item (eg Clock) is stored in these files and when a new Item is applied it will first delete the files from the previous Item and then Apply the new Item (was changed to work this way in ver 0.6)
Please give feedback. Thanx
Ok i decided to split it into three parts for now. Application , Clocks, Icons.
So unzip Clocks into WhateverPAth\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks and same with icons
IVe only tested this on original installed black Manila on WWE Rom
Credit goes to the Following People so far who Supplied Clocks and Icons
NisseDILLIGAF
Panosha

doc31 - Sticker Icons
skilty - Added a zip file with three new sets of everyting. Very nice
If there are some clocks here that belong to anyone please pm me and ill add your name to the credits
Done :
Clocks \ManilaCustomizer\Clocks
Icons \ManilaCustomizer\Icons
Sliders \ManliaCustomizer\Sliders
TopCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
BottomCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
Please Check Post two. Delete the whole app before reinstalling. Fixed all Clocks etc
Wanna Say Special thanx to NisseDILLIGAF for his help. I dont know much about Manila files but he has helped me a lot
The ManilaCustomizer.Zip file includes 2 samples of every item cause some people dont understand the directory structure to well. Hope this helps
Garp69 Took it upon himself to maintain all graphics for this app And Im Very Thankfull for him for that please have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202
New version on next post
ChangeLog
Ver 0.1 - Initial Test Version, Only First Tab Worked for Clocks
Ver 0.2 - Added Icons Tab and Made it functional
Ver 0.3 - Rewrote Whole app and made it finger friendly.
- All Tabs Working Now, Clocks,Icons,Sliders,Top Curtain,Bottom Curtain
Ver 0.4 - Manilla Automatically Disabled at Start of Program and Started on Program Exit by using this app : http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
Ver 0.5 Fixed Finger sliding (was working wrong way around)
- Added Option to remove all manila files in windows
Version 0.5 Included Top/Bottom Curtains and Sliders in Manilacustomizer05.zip Please delete all old clocks and icons and curtains and sliders. I fixed all problems i think and old files might cause complications
Ver 0.6 Changed the way the thesmes are handled. It seems like to many different clocks, Icons and sliders use too many different files. The system will now store the files to be deleted for every item. SO when a new Item is applied it will delete all the files from the previous Item before applying new files, then store the new files and delete them again next time a new item is applied. No new files required it will use ResetClock.txt etc
Ver 0.7 Alot was changed. So please delete all files and folders and unpack the main zip files
System will now backup any item before it will apply a new one
Option to Restore from last backup
All manila files can be backed up (Not really recommended because it can be over 1000 files and take 8meg - im looking for a better colution)
Confirmation added before Resetting all manila files
Slide option is changed so when last item is reached it will got to first one and when first is reached it will jump to last
Version 0.8 Item Backup and Restore working 100%
Complete Manila backup will look at rom date and backup all manila files thats different so backup can be as little as 2 files if onl a clock was changed instead of backing up all manila files.
Manila Restore working perfectly as well
Version 0.9 Added Backgrounds and Touch Focus. Still busy with better backup solution. Look for Panorama Backgrounds on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3412257&postcount=748
Uninstall old version and reinstall new one, you wont loose any of ur custom items
Another one
Busy with at the moment :
Added Touch Focus Colours - Done
Added WallPaper Change option - Done
Adding Custom Option so people can have own special settings etc. Will be added Under Clocks/Sliders/Etc will also have an undo option for that
Adding functionality so one can enter a name when backing up full manila so custom themes can be backed up and restored....would be nice for saving multiple favourite looks.
Great application, thank you
good idea, thanks for sharing
Dude...you're the man.....
Great applications...Will try it soon.....
Thanx man !!!
Cool
Please tell me what other Hacks/Custmizations can be added
Grumps you can take all my icons themes (here) they are all in zip files (directly manila files)
i work to make zip manila files for my clocks
ok man i tried it ...and i found some bugs...(i don't know if you just know this bugs)
PS: I have an italian ufficial ROM
1)If I want to put a flip clock the clock flip veryveryvery fast...and appear "T-mobile" instead the mine.
2)There isn't the manilla files for the analog fire clock xD only the pic
3)The "Help" button in "Option" doesn't work
Sorry i didn't try the icon yet...but I will do it soon
EDIT: ok man i tried the icons...and that works perfectly
Anyway....great work man!!!
Thanx

10x very much. it's a great program.
I'll check it later.
about what you can add:
1. change the entire background in manila (a checkbox)
2. if u can integrate the tool that choses the default calender, dialer, sms....

1. I will do this as soon as its working on analog clocks as well
2. Do you mean to reset everything to default?
Great idea, keep going.
all my themes have the slider ( you can see it in pictures)
the slider : 1e29e8e7_manila
i've got an idea :
make the choice to have the background behind the icons and the background of provider and date (black, colored, semi transparent or not)
background icons : 1864da05_manila
background provider and date : 18c460d8_manila

Ok im confused i dont know much about the inner workings of Manila.
If you say background icons, background provider and date can you be more specific to what it is exactly then i can do that.
Im going to ad invisible top/bottom bar next and different sliders
Thanx bud

3 - is the slider off course. the file associat is 1e29e8e7_manila
i hope you understand me
Awesome..
Well done Grumps.
Was waiting for a programmer to tackle the whole customisation of the TouchFLO 3D interface.
I have a rapidshare premium account at your disposal when your project is completed.
Is there any chance of changing the weather graphics in this as well?, extra tab would be good to i.e calander tab, missed call, comm-manager etc.
Once again a big thank you from all at XDA-Developers..
Thanx

Can you attach the files for 1 and 2 thats invisible as in your example
The touch flow 3d programs tab uses the default crappy icons for the programs shortcuts, does any one know whether we can use our own slightly larger icons for these shortcuts?
Try TFL3DTABICONSV3.cab - I've installed them on the Touch HD and they work fine. Colour icons. Wish I knew who did them so I could attribute properly.
Edit: Oops. Too much haste reading your post. The above icons replace the TF3D tab icons, not those in the Programs tab.

Here's a screenie.
thanx mate
i still hope some one has an idea as to how we can use our own icons for the programs tab, not the tab itself but the actual icons for the programs

This looks to be from the Diamond forum, does it include an icon for the Stocks tab??
It doesn't include a colour icon for the Stocks tab, so it still uses the original b/w one.
Overall, a very neat little upgrade!!

Yes, it works well sans the stock icon. I use this along with the NoTopCurtain and SemiTransparent_bottom_Bar and Pamas Transparent Slider. Provides a nicer look. Cheers.
Thanks AFW, have installed it and it looks much better than the original black.
regarding the topic of the thread, im not sure if its been discovered before but iv found a way to add your own icons in the programs.
Using resci registry editor or similur go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
You will notice that theres 23 folders in there
Now lets say you have atleast 1 program activated, the program details for that should be in folder "0", you will see in that folder that the path for the application is stated, you also notice that there is a string called "IconPath", put the path of the icon you want into that string and then save.
Move to a different tab (any other then programs) and then come back to the programs tab and you'l notice the icon has changed to your preference.
One slight issue is that the icons become really small, im looking into how that can be changed. Im asuming theres one of two solutions, either
1. Change the resolution of the icons
2. or set the size some how in the registry
(Im looking into it, and please post any findings you have in this thread)
Another discovery I made is that by copying one of the folders in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher and then pasting it back into HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher with the next number 24 (there are only 23 folders, represeting 23 possible program links in the programs tab) and saving it, gives you another possible application link in the programs tab.
The only problem with that is when you select it and add an application it remains blank.
Hi..
I'm having some difficulties downloading this file. Is there an alternative download site or can someone kindly email it to me? Much appreciated.

Hello Everyone..
I started making these fonts for my cell and decided to post them up for you all to enjoy.. These cab files will overwrite your windows fonts and TF3D fonts. I will be adding more fonts as time allows me to have (baby coming shortly), these fonts I made for myself but decided to share them with you all.
Hope you all enjoy your new year.. and God Bless you and yours.
If you all have seen or made a font, please post here to share with everyone else (giving proper credits) to make it easy to find and have fellowship.
Again these are will change your Windows & TF3D fonts, I will have TF3D only soon, You can uninstall by going to settings, system, remove programs select my font to delete and then click ok to soft reset.

TouchFlo Tab Icon
Add TouchFlo Tab Icon
Add new screenshot, many new fonts also windows taskbar
Is there an app or a tweak I can use to add an additional tab to the touchflo UI? I would like to add another app shortcut tab where I can add shortcuts. I prefer to not change the default ROM. Is there a cab file that can do that?
not that I've seen
You could try ManilaToday
and add a plugin that allows shortcuts
Not sure which plugin but I'm guessing They'll be one
maybe by messing around with iphonetoday
the icons don't have to look like an iphone's
Yeah hunt for ManillaTodayPlugin (MTP), installed fine for me (but read carefully), although personally I like ROMs where the Start Menu is a scrollable shortcut grid
