Making Custom Slider - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Can someone please tell me the steps necessary to make my own custom slider using HDWALL.
My rom i use is Cell Leo PRo V6...
I have a set of awesome transparent icons for manilla but am not sure what size the icons have to be, if i have to include wallpaper and what the specifics are with making sure i do it right.
If someone has a link, that would be great too as long as it explains it.

It's very simple, but there's some variables. Have you used HDWalls at all before? Or read the thread for the app? It doesn't give all the details, but you need to make sure you start there at least.
The pics can be any size to start really...HDWalls resizes them to what they need to be automatically, for both the small and large icons for the slider. You literally just drag and drop your chosen image into the window.
Now, the caveat is that HDWalls only natively converts slider icons for the base set of 10 that appear in 6.1 (home, people, txt, mms, cal, web, cam/pics, weather, settings, prog), not any of the new tabs added in 6.5 and up. You can kind of use HDWalls to make the others for you, it just involves some extra steps in renaming and replacing certain manila files.

hey sirphunkee.... tried it exactly as you said and it doesnot work.. i created a slider cab, ran the cab, the tp2 said it installed it but no change.
i was told that with sense 2.5, hdwall cannot create a slider because of sizing issues. but if you are successful with this then i must be missing something still. i would like to add the additional slider as well but i am not that skilled with this phone or the hdwall program.
its definitely worth creating this slider because there is not a better set of transparent icons out there to use.

Aboinger, I am also interested in exploring Ultimate Launcher. Your Athena Ultimate Launcher Interface looks so nice. How did you do that? Can you explain step by step. Cos I also installed Ultimate Launcher, but Ultimate Launcher can only slide from right to left or vice versa, functions like the "easy shortcut". But Ultimate Launcher cannot move up and down.
Landscape is supported and works perfectly fine...
my ultimate launcher is also limited from side to side / fade animations
when you are in the tabs option and hit create new it should give you an option to add in plugins / shortcuts
what exactly did u need help with id be more than happy to help
Where download the ultimate launcher?
its an exe so its in a zip
dont know where the cab for the english version is ...
updated video to include ftouchsl / new UL interface

Better!...
I know this is a thread to demo the UL (which I just got put on two days ago....awesome software). But boinger, I notice that you have flames on your S2U2. One: where did you get that animated background for it? Second: your S2U2 looks as if it was designed for VGA....mine looks like a stretched QVGA screen. How can i get mine crisp like yours?
Thanks buddy. Nice layout..
BTW....I'm not sure what the version that was linked earlier in this thread....but I found the english version here!!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365334&highlight=Ultimate+Launcher&page=2
yes this one is the english version
and about S2U2 i changed the graphics for vga.. you can do that simply by editing the .png's
i just changed the clock files to be honest.
and in real vga mode the slider doesnt work. so i enabled dpad support cause the screen mapping is off.
i can send you the flames gif... i got it off another member and edited it for vga.
You said editing the png's. Does that mean you changed the icons themselves, or you adjusted the values of the png to fit VGA? Just a little confused on that. Or all together, did you edit the pngs in a software such as Adobe Photoshop? If that is the case I might have to ask are you willing to share....thats a little over my head.
Yes Please email me the flame background...[email protected]
I might go back to S2U2 because of this.
Thanks boinger....appreciated buddy!
the blue flames jpg is attached
and i wouldnt mind sending you the vga clock files but that should be in the clock pack already
boinger,
What sort of icon format does ultimatelaunch accept. Is it only ico? What about png format?
only ico
you can use 32bit xp icons though.. so they look just as nice... only dillema is you have to convert most icons from .png
i can upload my ico icon pack for you all if you like ?
how can i use icon(bottom) like you?
i like your style..
looks nice..
i tried but.. i cannot use it.
i do not know how i set the icon.
i like icon linked like iphone..
please, let me know how you set yr advantage.....
That would be awesome if you uploaded some of your icons boinger. I'm also trying to find some to share here as well.
I'm struggling a little with the "not activated" signs in the corner. I have registered this app, and entered the code twice. Soft-reset. After a couple of minutes and some navigation, they reappear.
I searched for some answers, and it seems there isnt a fixed from what I was able to find.
Anybody else having this annoyance!!
Thanks
here ya go
Thanks boinger. These are nice buddy!!!!
I think I have the wrong version of S2U2. I just took the WM5 version that I used for my x51v. I say this because, I cant use gif. as a wallpaper for it. I'm assuming that I might not have the most current version.
Lastly, I have been trying to incorporate your icons, but for some reason UL will not show them when I select them. I can only use the default icons that come with them.
Any ideas!!!
I don't seem to be able to enter text for the application icon, although I can see that the config icon has a description.
What is the trick to enter this text?
I'm also unable to choose tab icon. Does tab icon got to meet certain criteria for them to work?

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.

modifications for Manila/TF3D 2 "Landscape" on X1

Hi, in this thread we discuss modifications of the landscape version of manila. Why a new thread? Well, to avoid confusion which manila the modifications will work on.
And the word at the moment is that the old manila editors don't work properly with TF3D-L. We're all still learning what TF3D-L can and can't do though. I only found out today that I can hide the large digits in portrait, but not in landscape.
One change I would be interested in is changing the green highlighting for blue. Any thoughts as to where to start with that?
Yup, I also use the no curtains cab that removed the top and bottom curtains. It works on the new TF3D 2, but it only removes the bottom curtain.
I would like one that removes both.
It's all about picking the files apart seperately.
Having a working file editor would indeed make that much easier. I expect a working version very soon, as the filetypes are similar. It'd only be a matter of adding the new files to the file list, no?
I can definitely verify that manila editor doesn't not work but CFC GUI does. I used it to create my theme.
It can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=470798
I just tried that and it's an awesome app, thanks for the heads-up! How is it on Manila 2?
It works well.. Of course i'm running into landscape issues. There is an image that is used for the landscape background i believe its 299eblahblah and no matter how i try and extend this image it doesn't cover the whole background in landscape. I'm going to try some more when i get home but i tried for like 2hrs last night with no success
Alrighty, I'll be looking into this myself too then, will let you know if I find something useful.
How about HEX editing, as any of that required for the landscape BG?
I didn't do any hex editing.... Then again my landscape image doesn't work right either lol..
Hmm. I'm trying to get my TF3D 1 skin working, but TF3D 2 keeps hanging on me. Some parts just don't seem to load and I don't know what's causing it.
Did you get that to work?
Where is it hanging? It might just be a tf3d 2 bug. Some files that are in tf3d 1 aren't in tf3d 2 as well. I'm still not sure if you can copy and paste them in the windows folder. I've cooked these files into the rom but i believe there is a setting in CFC that asks you if u are doing a copy paste.
I'm using SOTI Pocket controller to replace the files in my windows folder. After that I reboot. It then hangs upon startup. It shows the screen as if I'm sliding the slider to select another tab, "selecting" the home tab. I cannot control anything TF3D does from there, but most of the skin is visible.
I can imagine Pama's transparent sliders don't work on this ROM, so I've tried without those, but even tweaks to my background seem to mess it up.
Going to try with some other files now. (resetting takes a lot of time though. )
Yea i think there is something out how the files are either compressed or decompressed. CFC says something about padding vs trimming.
So... how do you suppose I can fix this? It's kind-of required to commence further testing.
EDIT: I'm eliminating the different possible causes for it not to work. Have narrowed it down to either the background or the curtains.
EDIT2: The good old background image fix doesn't work.
EDIT3: Surprise, surprise, the top and bottom curtains don't work either! I'm guessing that is the part where it's going to get tricky.
Gonna work on the new icons first though, hoping for one of the brighter minds (read: more experienced with TF3D) to come up with an awesome solution!
EDIT4: Can't get the BG or curtains to work -yet. The previously working HEX fix did no wonders this time.
Although I suspect the curtains are just fine as they are, since they seem to be semi-transparant.
P.S. Didn't you already get the background working, Bxsteez?
oh, I missed that... so I'll repost all things already posted around by me:
1- Analog + small flip clock, already ported to new tflo3d http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479929
2- background files (see attachment), inspect and try to have idea on how works (4 files, 2 for portrait and 2 for landscape... what a mess )
3- I usually get rid of top bar with a transparent 18c460d8_manila. Doesn't work anymore
4- no lines in tabs with transparent 74ddfccb_manila still works
5- graphic files for flip clock customization are ok
6- bottom bar transparency still works with a transparent 1864da05_manila
@mod: please stick this customization thread and let float away the previous one... tnx

Yea i got the background to work. I just used that CFC tool and modified the image and used CFC to replace. I didn't copy it in though i cooked a rom with the files in it. I think that is what is probably causing the problem.

Ok here is what i did to get it work via copy and paste.
I used CFC tool and when i was finished replacing files i went to tools and clicked finish up. I chose it to be uncompressed and then trim. This worked perfect for me. I'm not sure about that curtian cause i still can't get that to change.
I get the top curtain working again only in home cutting away the qtc reference snip in manila file with m9editor (search for "HomeTab" and you'll see) but it doesn't sounds like a great solution. Should be better to find the file invoked and make it trasparent like before

[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

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 !

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

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

Oh, okay.. I had no idea what sense is.. or manila for that matter. I'm running Stock WM 6.1 from Tmobile if that makes any difference..

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.
