[Q] moving items en start menu ? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development

Hi, on Wm6.5 roms for the touch HD you can press and hold on the start menu items an move them arround but in the HD2 you can only send them to top. Thats is a really ugly to reorder lots of icons.
I think there must be a key in the registry to set this behaviour but cant find it.
Someone knows it?

deleted...

I use JWMD Icon Changer V1.9 beta for Windows Mobile 6.5 to change the order of the start menu items... Works well.
Hope this helps...

This is not in the registry. Its in a SYS file named gwes ithink. Only way to fix it is by flashing to cooked ROM or update from HTC.

As far as I know this works only in later revisions of the os build. Maybe your Touch HD has a newer one.

Does JWMD work for anyone else on their HD2?
On my old phone both JWMD Icon Changer and Showaco reSTART worked great in arranging the icons. On the HD2 however, neither seems to work.
JWMD arranges most of the icons on my HD2, but it doesn't rearrange them all (like the settings icon, it appears randomly in the list) and the ones that it does rearrange don't stay where they are supposed to and move after a little while.
What has HTC done to the Start menu to make it different? Because rearranging icons worked great on my old phone with these same exact programs.

I think that behaviour can be cause htc icons are created every time the phone reboots. There is a cab somewhere here (i think is in the tips thread) that disable the recreation of icons so after that you will have no problem. I hope that works

Thanks for the input, but I already solved the issue (by doing a hard reset, heh).
JWMD works great now though, and with some spiffy icons makes my HD2 almost perfect - the disorganized icons were really bugging me.

TF3D program icons

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.

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.

[THE][14-10-09][v2.0] Color TF3D

I must say I'm a fan of TF3D. But personally, the mono-color scheme is not much fun to look at. So, I searched the web for some free icons and made this. I thought I'd share it with the xda community. My first contribution.
(Don't bother with the poll, I've made my decision already.)
Instructions:
1. Install cab (recommended that previous versions of my theme be uninstalled first)
2. Disable and re-enable TF3D to see the changes. To see changes in the dialer, you'll need to soft-reset.
3. Sprint users, please install my "Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab" on top of whichever one of my theme's version you chose. This will add the 2 icons for Sprint TV and Nav. Please see screenshot here.
If don't like it, just uninstall. Soft-reset. Back to normal.
Verizon users, have a look here.
Sprint users, have a look here.
Most devices have black as the default font color for the clock on the Home tab. If yours does not, check here.
FAQ - please read before asking any questions I'll be ignoring all queries covered in the FAQ.
Tip: for improved performance, use CFC Compression. Info here.
Release history
I'd gladly take suggestions and requests. Let me know if you have icons you would like me to use or if you don't like a particular change I made. Together, we can make the perfect theme!
Color TF3D 1.5.cab - Normal
Color TF3D 1.5-no top.cab - Transparent top curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no bottom.cab - Transparent bottom curtain
Color TF3D 1.5-no top and bottom.cab - Transparent top and bottom curtains (This is the one used in the screenshots)
Color TF3D-Sprint Patch.cab - install this on top of one of the above cabs for icons for Sprint TV and Nav
For those of you who have switched to the official WinMo 6.5 ROM released by HTC or if you have Manila v2.1 with the weather clock, please see here for version 2.0.
Users of Manila 2.0 or 2.1 without the weather clock should stick with version 1.5 of my theme.
AT&T Tilt 2 users should also stick with version 1.5 of my theme. I've not skinned the AT&T tab icon. If you want me to skin it, one of you will have to send me the corresponding manila files...
Further development on this has halted. But I'll still continue to try to support it. Here for details.
Like my work? Please donate! Any amount appreciated! Thanks for supporting!

Yes, I used cfc-gui. The section under "manila\icon off" is "manila\icon preview". That's what you're looking for. If you don't see it, you probably didn't extract your full set of manila files.
Very nice!
Great job, but i've got the Vario5 and tmobile made their own icons and I'm not sure if this works on my version, did you test it?

Only tested on my unlocked UK Touch Pro2. So, don't know if it'll work for you. Suggest you to backup your manila files and test it. This way, you can always revert back if anything goes wrong.

Sure, cab added. Please see 1st post.
I'd really like to try this out as it looks great but I'm a bit concerned because I would have no idea which Manila files to back up incase I wanted to change back. Will the cab now allow me to uninstall from the remove programs option and do I still need to turn of tf3d before installing it?
Sorry for all the questions
The tab isnt transparent, and the bottom is white below the tabs. help?

Going to be honest. I've not actually tried to uninstall the cab. But since the manila files are in ROM, a soft reset should restore them if you do uninstall the cab.
To answer your question on which manila files to backup, you can find the list in the xml file if you "unzip" the cab. Alternatively and probably easier would be to be just back up all of them.

I probably wasn't being clear in the 1st post, so I apologize for any misunderstandings. The slider, clock, taskbar, and 1% battery driver are not included in my cab. You can get them if they suit your preference. The links to those threads are in the 1st post. I take no credit for them. 1st post is now amended to be more clear in this subject.
Btw, yes, they are indeed awesome...

Sorry, going to contradict myself here. I just tried to uninstall the cab. It works perfectly. No need to worry about screwing anything up if you install it and don't like it.
Looks great, thanks very much.
It seems that when the icon marked below is pressed, the original icon (i.e. not colored) shows up

I've actually encountered the problem you described when I tried to install my cab onto my Diamond (which runs a ported version of TF3D2). The strange thing was, the problem mysteriously went away after a few minutes. All I can say is, try to disable and then enable TF3D. Or soft reset. If that doesn't work, try to install the cab again. Maybe the script accidently skipped a file…
I'm quite certain the cab works. Tested on my own TP2 purchased from UK and my friend's TP2 purchased from HK.
Wow !
Everything works, since I am a total noob, that's a bit fo a surpise to me !
Thanks everyone !

[APP][WM6.5] Hide TODAY bottom bar - found source code of dcinobar

to all,
there are many threads floating around that all the well known apps to hide bottom bar and task (top) bar are not working anymore under WM6.5. i am talking about dcinobar (v1, v2), nuenobar (v1.3, v2.0) and vjtoggletoday (inkl. todayiialpha).
i want to start this thread to gather all relevant information here to overcome this problem.
@mods: please do merge other similiar threads in here
to make a start: i found the author of dcinobar
there are two versions of dcinobar and the author is also providing source code on his website.
maybe someone is more capable than me to use this source code as a hint to create a new app for this problem?
good old dcinobar,
has nothing to do with 6.5 ****, tho.
it is like asking about remake of nuenobar..or vjtoggletoday.

you seem to be knowledgeable.
is it not possible at all to hide bottom bar in wm6.5?
i think it may be possible - for wm6.5 roms without titanium plugin at all - but NOT DONE, yet.
titanium changes handling of softkeybar(new, and maybe old manila is working same way), it may be not possible, surely it won't be easy...notice it is dynamic, not static as default 6.1 softkeybar..
sad to say - xdadev bacame strange place - you may find every possible software ripped from commercial products, ton of UGLY skins, but there is no developer to MAKE such thing, as just softkeybar remover...
just ms/htc software promo site...wow factor tragedy, imo.
btw, i am using hs++ too, i do not need titaniums, manillas, 15 mb+ mem loss, etc.
http://i26.tinypic.com/2hgwzs1.jpg
yeah. hs++ is great. it is the only ui which is easily highly customizable but does not consume much power and cpu.
i use it more iphone stylish like (see attached)
but back to the topic.
at least it is good news that it could be done, even with some limitations (like deactivated titanium or manila)
if only i could understand this. if you run dotfred's taskmanager and browse through the different windows one can see that the softbar window is cascaded, i.e. a window within a window within a window where the bottom bar is displayed.
it should be possible to hide or close this window (and keep it closed) and increase the size of the desktop screen
isn't anybody out here, who takes this as a challenge?

yup, messy thing, imo..add sip-handler to that(wad shows that problem clearly)...
btw, i can recommend task manager 3.1, 3.5 for such insight operations.
app is perfect to be used in roms to determine whole lots of useful info + regeditor/regimporter.

You can hide the bar on WM 6.5 fine as long as you disable the Titanium plugin. And since there is no reason to hide the bar if you are running Titanium, I fail to see the issue here.

I'm saying those bar hiding apps work fine under WM 6.5. I thought that was what you were trying to fix. If you let me know the reason I might be able to help. Saying you need help hiding the bottom bar in 6.5 when there is an app that works, well...

As has been said already. Under WM 6.5 you can hide the today bottom and top bars as long as you are not using titanium or manilla. Those apps (dcinobar and vjs app) were designed to hide the bars but not to work on today screen plugins. If you want to modify a today plugin, you will have to hex edit the plugin directly and/or create a new program that modifies today plugins.

not sure if we are talking about the same. why would i hexedit a plugin in order to hide the today screen bottom bar.
hiding bottom (and task) bar is independent of the plugin as it is controlled by shell32.exe.
but you seem to know what you are talking about. let's give it a try. i am using homescreen ++ (see signature). what do i have to hexedit?
thanks in advance

My friend, no need to open a new thread for this kind of problems. Just report it to Dutty (he already knows about the problem). And wait for an update from Dutty himself. Opening threads like this makes this forum full of threads that don't get answered. They only make a lot of traffic and disorder. I don't know what the moderators are doing here. They only close things that could be useful but oh no not this kind of thread.

And NO, MaxManila does NOT work either. Stop giving suggestions without testing them first.
We are talking about Dutty's ROM not some other ROMs. "20 shortcuts" or "16 shortcuts" won't work on the version of Manila Dutty is using. Just for now.
(They work but with bugs. Alarm button not working and weather animation freezes)
I think the thread title should be changed.
This is not just with Dutty's ROM. This problem is there in every ROM that is using the Sense Manila version 2.5.19222911.0
So, Please change the title of this thread to reflect this information.

Friend - I am using this Dutty Rom Manila 2.5 on my HD2 and MaxManila 2.7 works 100 % without any problems. All the features of maxManila 2.7 works without any problems - I selected 20 quicklinks . Infact I just test it again with 16 quicklink and there is ABSOLUTELY nio issue at all. The Alarm also NO issue and weather animation is perfect so much so I never like it and I always turn it off with MaxManila 2.7. Perhaps is other installed software affecting you are unable to have it done.
After installed the rom, I restored my email/SMS/PIM. Then I install BSB tweaks - configure it , reset and then I install MaxManila 2.7. After MaxManila 2.7 successfully installed , I proceed further to customize it further with clock chnages and visual customizations from DJcedric cabs . I have again I say ABSOLUTELY no problems and the whole rom is still pretty stable - already having it on my unit last 10 hours
ok mate. I have done a hard-reset and installed nothing but max-manila 2.7 and the bugs are still there. so I think there is something else that you do. I will play some more with max manil and will report back.
I think you didn't get what the bugs are. The "alarm" on the home screen won't launch the "alarm prgram" and when the weather animation (like when clouds flying all over the home screen, you slide the slider to another tab (messeges or whatever) and back to home screen, the clouds are frozen in the middle of the home screen. They don't move)

The only fancy items are changing the analogue clock and the clock backgrounds ; others are status quo as per MaxManila 2.7. After I have fully setup homescreen to my desire, only then I proceed installed all the 3rd party programs
Anyway I cannot comment further as I am very happy and it works perfectly for me.
The only irritating issue is when I choose to change the homescreen wallpaper it is not immediate; I have to slide the bottom tabs few times to have the change effected and the wallpaper is same across all tabs
I mean that's very very weird. Could you send a picture of your home screen? If it's difficult for you, just forget it.
PS. it would be great if others could confirm that Manila Max works without any bugs.
Thanks a lot for the info mate.

I am uisng on dutty´s rom the version from Jaguaralani.
it is working BUT I have noticed one problem:
If you add a shortcut you cannot see the icon. After a soft reset the icon is visible (probably a restart of HTC-Sense would be the same).
Best regards
dingolino
And you don't have any of the bugs mentioned above?
If you don't then, there is something very weird going on here. How can the same .cab file behave differently on two devices? Anyone able to answer that?

Jaguaralani's mod causes the displaced background issue and alarm bug, the same as both of Vovichek & Jamrecords cabs. I will give Max's 2.7 cab a go now and report back with my findings.

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

I like that idea. I have been running a Mighty Rom. But I will try yours when you get done cooking.

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
turn off sense

Or install the cabs and then soft reset
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.
