TF3D 2.1 with weather (or not?) on home tab (T-Mobile version) - TEST VERSION

Hi all - I'll be the proud owner of a T-Mobile TP2 in a few days. I didn't notice any cabbed up version of TF3D2.1 1919, so I took a stab at my own cab. Since I don't yet have my new phone, I can't test.
Anyone who wants to test it for me ... here it is.
Registry settings are for WM6.1. For 6.5, do this in your registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"IsWM6.5"=dword:1
Oh, and if there's already a working cab out there, someone provide a link, and I'll ask a mod to close this thread.

I'm gonna test it later tonight, if it work you are my god

nice looking, but does not work on my stock rom ...

Can you be more specific about what didn't work? Did the install itself fail? Does TF3D fail to start? It starts, but you don't see any difference?
Because I can't test (yet), whatever specific feedback you can provide will help.
Thanks,
Lou

install works great, TF3D start and work, nice violet and white theme, custom icons, tabs and more but no weather on home tab

It's possible this build doesn't do what I think it does -- just started catching up on Rhodium stuff, and maybe I misunderstood something or wrongly connected some dots. Notice any other new features?

Rhodium_S_Manila_2_1_19193517_0_CFC_WWE
HI. Saw this version of Manila where they claim the animated weather works on this 2.1 manila version with 6.5 rom.
I have not tried it yet. Here is the link

Picture contacts in the form of "square rows" ?

Hello all, I don't really like how the "Favorite People" Contacts are displayed in TF3D, Are there any upgrades/fixes to display the contacts like HTC HOME used to do back in the day? With "Rows" of little squares with the persons picture? I hate the rolodex style scrolling of contacts and the little bar on the side, I'd prefer a bunch of boxes lined up side by side, is this possible? thanks again.

Any cooked ROM with HTC Sense 2.5 (aka TF3D 2.5, Manila 2.5, etc.) ripped from the new HTC Leo has the new contacts tab, which has contacts arranged in a grid, similar to the HTC Home/Manila 2D contacts tab. If you take a look around the Rhodium ROM Development forum, you'll find a variety of ROM choices which have HTC Sense 2.5.

thank you for the fast response. I tried out the Sense 2.5 Rom ripped from LEO and this is exactly what I am looking for but I cannot use this rom. It doesn't recognize the slide-out keyboard and this is a major problem for me. I can't believe people actually use this rom when the phone doesn't go into landscape when the keyboard is slid out..very weird if you ask me. Anyways are there any programs that can give me a favorites tab with the grid I am looking for? thanks.

At the top of this forum, there's a thread titled [RELEASED]Full landscape for manila 2.5[v 1.0][PROJECT PULSE], which is a project to hack landscape support to Manila 2.5. As for the ROMs you've tried, the devices can still be in landscape in every other application. It's only the homescreen which couldn't, and now there's the project I mentioned above which hopes to fix that. But keep in mind that it's still an early release, and it might not work very elegantly.

Database for slider icon sets?

I see a thread where people post their desktop screens I'm just wondering if there was a place on this site where there were slider icon sets? I've seen alot of cool ones but apparently alot of them come with cooked roms. I'm running stock so I would just like to change the appearance, not the whole system.
Thanks!

You'll have to make sure you get an icon slider set that matches your version of Manila, but there's a ton of topics in this area about them, usually just titled something like "New Sense 2.1 slider icon set" etc.
Here's a couple I found just within the 1st 2 pages of this section:
2.1 slider icons
2.5 slider icons

Sense/Manila/TouchFLO3d (TF3D) are all different names for the different versions of the user interface (UI) that HTC put on the phones to "cover up" the winmo OS underneath. The version you have is what determines the basic visual layout, as well as what files/methods are necessary to make changes or customizations.
The bad news: The version you have (TF3D 2.1, same as me), is an earlier version that doesn't have support for the prettier, bigger slider icons you may see around here frequently. You can usually spot those screen images easily because they'll have bigger, more "cartoon-like" icons in the slider, and there's often weather somewhere right on the home page, under the clock. As you'll notice, your interface doesn't have either, which is how it's easy to spot our version compared to the others.
The good news: Our version is one of the few where icon/slider sets are fairly easy to build, using the popular app HDWalls, available here. With that, just about any image you could find/want can be converted into a slider that will work for you. HDWalls has a bit of a learning curve though, but not impossible. If you have some icons in particular you'd like made into a slider, let me know and I should be able to do it quickly and easily...as long as I can find/extract/use source images for each icon (i.e. one big screenshot of all of them won't help, I'll need individual images). I even have some cabs to make the slider transparent underneath the icons.
brent372 has also assembled some TF3D 2.1 slider icon sets on his page, you can check them out HERE. If you want to go looking for more on your own, you need to search for ones that specifically say they're compatible with TF3D 2.1...."sense 2.1" sliders won't work, just FYI.

Your homescreen screenshots

So I thought it might be an idea for a collaborative thread where people can just dump screenshots of their homescreens, menus, whatever else you think looks nice with a little info on the rom you're running, tweaks visible on the screencap, etc.
I'm running stock 1.66 with very little mods right now, but will get round to posting a screenshot later anyway.
So who wants to go first?
Hopefully this thread will cause others to take more interest in roms, tweaks after they see them (almost) in the flesh!

I'm gonna ask for a mod to close this thread, as it already exists and is linked above.

here is my latest set (i like black and simple):

@jonbaker76
hi, i don't know what rom you have so i'll leave you decide which is the right one for you since there are several versions.
i directed somebody else to it just yesterday - click on the numun icon under my signature, go to page 3 and check posts #24 and #26.

Black and White Metal 2.5 2013

See if you like it. It is White Metal 2.5 2013 for a 6.5 build. Tell me what you think.
Also including a different contact icon if you want it. Not necessarry but a different style in case you do not like the contact tab with the human outline.
I am running mighty rom Windows 6.5 with Manila 2.5.2013
I was not happy with the centering of the Calendar date on the tray icon-so I included a cab with the fix.
Facebook Tab. You must already have the tab in order to use this. I installed it from Meltwaters and then alterred his manila for tabs

lubbad85, you are my hero! I have been looking for this everywhere. I don't know why but for some reason I've liked this style of slider ever since I've seen it on another carrier's phone.
I installed it asap and I like how it works! It works like a charm, I love it. Great job lubbad85, you rock! The only thing I would probably do is just better the screen icons when you change to a different tab on the slider. Those stock white ones will do but I would just see if I could replace them with any other better icons. Just my personal opinion. Other than that, you created a beautiful slider!
Quick question, I'm running C0okie's Home Tab. How does that extra notification bar appear? (The one on top of the actual sider)

In the options for cookies home tab you can put the extra notification bar. I think under miscelaneous The bar is a bit redundant though.
Glad you like the slider. Give me an example of what kind of slider you really want. If you give me a direction I can build one. Manila is very forgiving. If you screw it up you have only to delete the manila file that you put into windows and the phone's ROM will build it back the way it was before the new manila was used.

I've been looking around in C0okie's Home Tab for the past 40 minutes and I believe I've gone through the whole editor twice and I still cannot find the setting which enables the extra notification bar. I feel like a noob or just looking for something that isn't there. I'm running v1.8.5.

I got it! Thank, yet again! As far as the slider goes, it works like a charm! I really don't have any other suggestions for it as of right now. Maybe later as time goes by and I think of something. But if you implement any improvements or make any changes to it please post it up, I will gladly test it out. Thank again!

lubbad85, I found a small little defect that you might consider. When I slide to a desired tab on my touch flo, I find that the tab icon I chose has a blurry icon. It looks like as if there is another lighter icon behind the primary icon. It's just a little annoying and tends to cross my eyes after a while. lol. Check it out in the attachment to understand what I'm talking about.

Nice work bro! Would you consider adding icons for Facebook and Call History tabs please?

I found this slider skin very pretty and charming! Is it OK to cook this skin into rom? I'm developing roms for myself, but somehow the xda community convinced me to upload them to public xD

My ROMs won't be updated before August if someone doesn't find some critical bugs
This slider really fits the "old" Sense 2.5 skin, however it has got some images that could be a bit more polished... Ach, and some icons could be a little re-sized, because they aren't this same size. Anyway overall the experience is great! So keep up this wonderful work, first time that I like something that isn't made by ShowTime7.

right.

Thanks lubbad85, you're the man! Your work is greatly appreciated.

Hi there, I downloaded and installed the theme, but I dont know how to change the theme, i hate to ask but how exactly do I apply the theme? I tried Star->Settings->Today, but the theme is not on the list of available themes.
Thanks for your patience, I've only had the phone for a week or so.

You're going to run the .cab file from your storage card and install it onto your device when prompted to. Immediately after the slider is installed it is going to ask you to restart so the changes can take effect. You hit "yes" or "ok" (Not sure which option it gives you) Then, once the device restarts and turns on, the slider will appear and should be already installed automatically. You shouldn't have to do any other additional setting changes after you restart so the slider takes effect.

Hmm I installed all 3 cabs and it just told me "white metal 2.5 2013.cab was successfully installed on your device" (same thing with the other 2) but it didn't prompt me if I wanted to restart the device.
Any ideas why? this blue at&t theme is ok but this B&W Metal theme looks amazing.
Thanks

Hello again lubbad85!
Could you do me a little favor and add a facebook icon too? The meltwaters work is really impressive!

Just the sense tab

You just want the sense tab-in other words you already installed the other files neccessary for the tab? So just the tab icons?
If so here is the cab for just the tab sense icons in white to match the set. I cannot test it since I have not installed the control files for this tab.
