Weird Font on Touch Pro
DiamondTweak is what you need to download.
Section 17 of the Program.
17.7 Cleartype in Landscape Mode - Disabled
This fixed all my white font and weird font problems...I am on a Touch Pro though, but it may help you too.
Grey Taskbar
Go to start -> Settings -> Today and select the "Htc black" .tsk
(if it is already selected, choose an other first [e.g.Windows-standard] and switch then back)
Note: Because I still do NOT own a Diamond PRO myself, supporting this Device isn't easy...

the background is much better, but its going to be tough getting rid of my sprint theme.

eehm... Not really the original...
or maybe htc stole my background image squares!!
Where did u get this 'original' HTC Theme?
This is my Black Diamond Theme...

Could you also modify the blue O2 theme for the 1.93 ROM?
That would be fine

Fixed... **** happens if you handle too many files

Hi,
can you post here yours background image. I want it use as today background.
Thank you

sure ...
but u know that it's a manila file... not a wallpaper...
unzip and copy the manila file to windows....

Hi!
Whats your TF3D Config version number what you use with 1.93 ROM??
Thx!

Not suitable for Raphael yet.
Thanks for the good work.
I installed it over my T-Mobile (horrific Pink theme) MDA Vario IV and looks good. Exept for the landscape screen when the keyboard is slided open. Then the orginal icons are not there at all. Perhaps something for the next update. Thanks in advance.

I noticed the same thing on my Voda branded TP. But the black theme looks absolutely brilliant. I am not going back to the original red ever.

I'm trying to modify my theme on the new 1.93 Rom from the US 3G version Diamond... I'm using Total Commander to try to modify the read only permission sets of the Manilla files so I can write over them. However it doesn't seem to be working. Are there other programs available? Trying to update to use NisseDILLIGAF background

you have to disable Touch Flo first, then just copy the manila file to windows using total commander

I've installed this, but the top and bottom bars of the screen are still o2 blue...any help?

Do u have HTC black in Today themes?
I've attached a the HTC Black.tsk, just unzip, copy it to windows and try to activate it in Today...

Thanks,
Seemed all I had to do was select a different theme, then reselect the htc theme......BINGO.... phone looks fantastic. I am now going to see what other things I am incapable of doing. I know that I will have further questions, and that I am a bit of a techno-cretin, but I hope you guys will continue to help. This is a great forum by the way, very helpful indeed.

Okay so i installed HD manilla and it screwed me all up

after the install, it didnt work....fine, i'll revert back to normal
now it reverted back to TF3D with the generic TF backgrounds on all tabs except the home screen which has the ROMeOS2 background (which i want on all) and the clock is the white flip clock instead of teh black ROMeOS2 clock
anyone have any tips on how to correct this? i've tried browing through the diamond tweak and TF3d config tool and cant find anything

First HD manila is pretty much the same as touchflo but with an extra stock tab. Second in order to get HD manila working you have to install the HD boot loader, to get it working without this you have to "tab here to launch touchflo" then goto settings and open the keyboard, wait till manila launches (keep in mind after every soft reset these instructions are required unless you install the boot loader)
Finally background on all tabs with different home tab is installed,.

Can't change background and clock going haywire

Hi guys
Ok, first of all - this is my first post. Woohooo. K now that that's out the way, lets get down to business.
Had a new slider and clock etc and then I saw XenRed (http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/) ... Decided to install it (using Diamond TF3D Config) and it works. But can't change the wallpaper. Tried using mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02 and then my clock just started ficking through numbers and sticks at 12:59. I Used Diamond TF3D Config to reset to defaults and I just can't get the wallpaper to work (I tried in Settings - Wallpaper and Start - Settings - Today - Use the Picture as the background).
I'm not a developer so I can't exactly go write my own manilla files or whatever. Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. If possible, I wanna have a different today wallpaper to every other one but wanna customise both. I came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508799
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&page=53
But I don't know how to edit Manilla files. Is there a CAB that will work that I don't know about? Thanks everybody

that background for all pages has some nasy effects on some versions of the tf3d especially modded versions, theres not much you can do apart from either unistall everything to do with the tf3d and re install tf3d or hard reset and start again

High Resolution Wallpaper & Slider Editor CAB Creator

Anyone have any luck using this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503511
I cant get it to work, created and installed the CAB but wallpaper remains unchanged on my phone?!
All I want is the wallpaper to be full screen (task bar and bottom bar transparent).
Cheers!

IVE USED IT
does nothing change, i.e.. the top/botton bar or wallpaper e.c.t

Sorted! Had to install this patch v1.21
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529730

Keyboard broken?
No offense but this has already been posted in the corresponding thread. No need to open a new one. It is (probably) related to the new Manila version.
Best Regards and a happy new year!

A new thread for that: braaavo noob!

this is a problem for all. sorry for thread

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.

Hi,
test the attached cab file.

Or this one ...

Totally Agree!

tested and working. 16 shortcuts.
Edit
Whoops not working

No it does NOT work. Same problem. Alarm ain't working and weather animation still freezes. You should test better next time.

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)

Alarm on homescreen will launch alarm program immediate ; and weather animations no such issue of freezing. Infact I very simple user - I just choose what I want from the MaxManila 2.7 options. 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.
