Hi guys
Been searching for ages now on the forum and on Google and haven't been able to find the solution to a couple of issues I'm having with Sense 2.5 on the official HTC ROM (which was flashed by HTC on repair of my TP2)
1 - the text messaging is useless (for me) in Sense 2.5. I prefer the original Windows mobile way of messaging - how do I get back to that? SMS doesn't appear in Outlook anymore???
2 - None of my methods that worked in the previous WM6.5 Sense 2.1 ROM for making the Start menu appear in 4 rows seems to work?
3 - Shapps Advanced Config seems to disable my settings? I can't get into Remove programs so can't uninstall? Need to Hard Reset?
If anyone can help with the above I'd be very grateful!
Thanks
Hello,
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
3. Go to the Manila Settings-Tab. There is a program entry (I don't now how it calls in english ROMs). There you can unistall Software.
Hi ChatFix
Thanks for a quick reply!
I'll have a look at that link now
Unfortunately I didn't explain 3 properly - the settings tab in manilla is not accessible once I install Advanced Config, so there's no way of actually getting back to the Remove Applications icon to be able to uninstall it...

1. I can use Windows Messaging instead of HTC messaging with no problems.
2. I do have this problem, but I believe there is a reg edit specific to 6.5 that my 6.5.5 one does not work on nor does any that were for Sense 2.1.
3. I think your installation of the ROM or Advanced Config is borked. I have no problems at all.
I have found this little tool. So you can disable Manila, uninstall your software and enable manila with the today-settings from windows mobile.
Hi guys!
Thanks for your replies, it's really appreciated
Nagrom - Did you use the link provided by ChatFox to enable use of the Windows Messaging Client rather than the HTC one?
Chatfix - what exactly does that file do? Does it disable the entire Manilla 'home' screen and display the standard Windows Today screen (or WM6.5 Titanium screen) or does it still display the normal Manilla 'home' screen but disable certain parts of the HTC 'wrapper' (e.g. notification bar)
Oh - after the last hard reset, Advanced Config appears to be working OK now, phew!
I'm teetering on the edge of reflashing the old Sense 2.1 ROM, but I really don't want to!
This file disables all Today-Plugins. (Manila 2.5 is still a Today-Plugin)

Attached is a cab installer for HTC Plus!
This application adds a nice clock and messages interface to the today menu, as well as adding an application launcher with included high quality icons for the applications.
As found, this application was non-functional. HTCImgCodec.dll has been added (exists in some ROMs already) and registry settings have been changed to disable the Backlight Adjust function. For some reason when this function is enabled the device hangs during boot and a hard reset is required to fix. You have been warned. DO NOT ENABLE BACKLIGHT ADJUST.
Screenshots below. More stuff to come.
UPDATE: I've replaced the file with an updated version. This update changes the installation defaults in a manner that should help anyone who experienced a problem installing the previous version. No changes are made in the plug-in, so if you already have it working don't bother updating.
another new one to try thanks bro awe3some!!
It looks interesting!! Thanks for the new stuff and more important, for the warning!
Very cool today plugin! Too bad it doesn't have weather... So, Ill stick to the HTC Home plug.
OK
Nice and pretty, thanks my friend.
not working x500 wm6 =(
now we need it customized like all the other HTC plugins.
Customisation
This plugin is easily customisable. The layout is stored entirely as bmp images under \Windows\HTCPlus. And all the programs chosen can be modified under HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts.

good
Very cool today plugin!
looks nice! can i still use htc customizer to customize it?
Nice today plugin.
However, it is still lag far behind O2 Plus, which has sould profile, call forwarding, task manager and more...
very nice man
Thanks
Nice! Although I still prefer HTC Home.
Looks great, but couldnt get it to work on my Touch. The today plugin does not appear on the screen, nor in the list with available plugins. The Options tab is present though :\
great thankz
thsnkz,
jdac21
Thanks a lot
I'm going to try it
Unfortunately not working
possible fix
I also originally had the problem where the plugin was not appearing in the list of plugins or on the today screen, but the HTC Plus tab was still displayed in settings. I was able to fix this problem by copying HTCImgCodec.dll into \Windows. I added it to the cab. Perhaps this file is not being copied? Check for its existence and try manually extracting it to \Windows if it doesnt show up.

I installed it on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and for me it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers
Will download an try when I get home!
has anyone been able to customize this plugin?
1. add voicemail to indicators
2. map text message indicator to palm threaded messaging app
i love the simplicity of this plugin, hopefully someone will develop this or perhaps point me in the direction on how to customize this plugin.
Hi,
I've installed Touch Flo 2D Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926-xplode.CAB on top of Sundreams ROM.
This ROM rocks and it very fast on my BA with apps installed. OCed the BA using XCPUScalar.
However I've got a problem with the adding Programs shortcuts in TouchFlo (launcher tab). After selecting the program, the form closes and no program is added to the shortcut. The + remains a +. Anyone experienced this problem?. Is there a way to add the shortcuts manually in a configuration file?.
Also where can I configure TouchFlo settings?
Also the front screen calendar is too basic for my taste. I used SPB diary. How can I use a more advanced calendar with TouchFlo (shows 5 days or more)?.
Thanks to all ROM contributors. Any insights appreciated.
Customize it using this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392
make sure you installed all the Xplode CABS before the manila to have it working
This is from my own experience I am sure some experts can help more.
Update
Thanks for the reply.
I have installed the following cabs:
HTCAlbum-2.5QVGA.cab
Aku1.4 Sounds.cab
Aku1.4 welcomehead.cab
HTC htcStartMenu.cab
HTC Enchansements.cab
HTC TaskManager 2.1.34837.5
HTCFlashLite.cab
HTC AudioManager.cab
Touch Flo 2D Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926-xplode.CAB
To which cabs are you actually refering to?. Am I missing something?.
Well as regards to the launcher, I have added the applications manually via registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Launcher, however the application do not run when clicked on. Icons appear as a 'blank icon' rather than '+'
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46966
Any ideas?
As far as the calendar, no one seems to have been able to use a different calendar as of yet. Having said that, there is one alternative that I am using right now (with which I am pretty happy). There is a program in the Dev and Hacking section that is called Manila Control
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447504&highlight=manila+control
This will allow you to switch back and forth between Manila and Today (just set up an Up-Down gesture with FTouchFlo Config). You can then put any Today plugin that you want (ie SPB Calendar) and just switch to it when you need to see your calendar. Hope this helps you on that end.
Now, as far as the cabs, you should install the following cabs:
HTC_Enchansements.cab
HTC AudioManager_2.0_1819.1228.cab
GoogleMaps_compressed.cab
HTC_Task_Manager_2.1_34837.5.cab
HTC_Album2.0_1818.3032.cab
Touch Flo 2D Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926-xplode.CAB
FSP, DShow, WMP, Youtube, Video Fixes.cab
These are the ones that I have on my device and I have not had any issues with speed or anything like that. Hope this helps!
Thanks for feedback. I have managed to find a workaround via registry. I did'nt add the "uptime" key before. Once added the icons are functional and show up.
6/15/09 "Zoom Status" and "task manager" from new Acer Roms (cabs now available)
edit: CAB not available at post #8..thanks man
the only thing that cought my attention from the acer software is the "zoom status". see it in action in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2Kv0MZfoZI&feature=channel_page 6:30 - 7:00
i like it better than the new notification center of tf3d 2
hope someone can port it
I do like that, especially the close button.
that shouldn't be too hard to get on vga devices.. right?
the device in the video has wvga screen(save horizantal resolution as the normal vga device. i think it will port very easily to vga devices
any new acer phones roms floating around so we can extract the packages of this

Yeah. And the taskmanager is quite nice too
Here is the Cab - I loaded it on my Titan (QVGA) and it installed without a problem but won't run. There is a QVGA icon pack in the install directory and it creates a shortcut in the startmenu. When I click on the shortcut an Info box pops up that says (Can't Start Zoom Status Please Check Zoom Status is Enabled). I don't see any obvious way to enable it after looking in the install directory and the windows directory. Have soft reset after install, still no luck.
By the way, it doesn't show up in the remove programs directory so once you've installed it you have to manually remove...
I'm running WM 6.5 27128 so perhaps this only works on 6.1.
I installed it on an X1 running wm6.5 and got the same error message but you can get it to run if you disable the default today plugin in on wm6.5 and enable the Zoomstatus one.
guess it runs as a today plugin in on the Acer shell
I run it on custom asus WM 6.5.xxx502 ROM. I did the same as jbrummie but I couldn`t have both enabled - windows default and zoom status. Any solution ?

Yep - found the same thing. It runs and works on 6.5 but won't work at the same time Titanium is enabled....

will test it
6.1 ROM , Qvga, Elfin.
Must shut down Tf2d in order for this to work.
The topaz notification system cant be shut down. So I only can see task manager.
Over.
-
installed the task manager on my imate 9502 and all it done was enlarge the scrollbars on standard winmo applications so as only 2 icons are displayed per line..
Works fine on my xperia with wm6.1
installed on my i910 omnia, seems to wrk. although some buttons dont do anything when i press them on the zoomstatus. havent tried the taskmgr yet.
edit: i just soft reset, the task manager is there. works fine. looking at the install folder it seems skinnable. also it doesnt seem to give me accurate info since im on verizons network. the sig strength and battery works fine though. taskmanager also looks skinnable since all the image files are in the install folder. looks fun.
Here are some pics on a Fuze. I had to turn off TF3D. Also, some of the notifications don't work, like volume just brings me back to HTC's notifications so it's a loop. The other taskbar items work but require a press and hold. i'm using the updated Fuze ROM.
Zoom status works fine with Titanium (wm6.5) if you change registry value "Exclusive" to zero for Titanium plugin.
You should enable both plugins ("Windows Default"(Titanium) and ZoomStatus) in Today items settings.
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Windows Default"]
"Exclusive"=dword:00000000
im using tfdetacher 6.5 and the right softkey on the wm6.5 today screen says touchflo but when i goto touchflo, how do i set the right softkey to take me back to the 6.5 today screen?
In the tfdetacher config program. I believe it is in your start/programs by default.
its in my programs start menu but i click on it and it just takes me back to touchflo today screen, i wanna get my wm6.5 today screen
Try looking under settings, or a folder called system tools, or something like that. There should be a program called TFD Config somewhere in your Startmenu. You did install TFD and having it currently running right?
yes its installed and running but its real slow on switching over and sometimes the soft keys will start flashing and also i want to be able to use weatherpanel 2009 but cant seem to figure all this out. srry, im such a noob..lol
Dunno what to say man. It works flawlessly on my Vogue. Maybe you have too many programs running and are low on RAM. Sorry I don't have any other tips.
ok, what version of touchflo detatcher do you use on your vogue and also, could you post your screenshots of all the settings that i need to do to make it work and to make weatherpanel 2009 be incorarated in that as well. i do have 2nd today installed just havnt set it up yet
ok, i've set the softkeys correctly in tfconfig and they still dont respond. is there something i need to do to the registry to get tfdetacher to work right on my vogue using NFSFAN'S V12 6.5 ROM
ok, i fixed my issue except im not using tfdetacher, instead i downloaded and installed Manila Control v1.0, went to config and selected manila 2d which fixed the right softkey on my touchflo today screen but not on the 6.5 side so i then got into my registry and changed these variables:
1. goto HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock
2.change SK2TEXT from "Set" to "TF2D." (no quote)
3.change SK2URL from ":MSCLOCK;AppRunToHandleNotification" to ":M2D_Ctrl" (no quote)
4. do a soft reset and everything works great
now all i need to do is figure out how to incorporate Weatherpanel 2009 in this equation, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Anyone know how to switch back to the original windows 6.5 start menu? I want to give it a try with touch flo.
I also wouldn't mind being able to do this. I like TouchFlo, but I like the standard Start menu much much better.
Go to settings, all settings, today settings and change it there.

No, we said we want to keep TouchFlo, but go back to the standard 6.5 start menu. Nothing in Today Settings would do that.
same here i also would like to have the classic apps page back for touch flow anyone know how to make this happen?
Touch Flo overrides the standard WM 6.5 interface, you have to select one or the other. Going in to the today settings and selecting Windows Default you can see that it forces to uncheck touch flo.
There could be a reg edit somewhere to disable it... Hopefuly
I am not sure if it works with this phone, but I allays use a cab that was released with the Manila 2.1 VGA ports that disables the HTC Start menu. I will be trying for myself when my phone arrives on Tuesday.
here you go....
verified to work on the imagio.

You sir, are a GOD! This worked perfectly, except when I soft-reset, it started TouchFlo, but just displayed a blank today screen with my background until I hit the start button. But I never shut off my phone, so thanks, this is great!
LOL. i got this back when juicy was making his first manila 2.1 rom.
i think it is actually from xboxmod's original 2.1 port thread.
anyway it works great for me and doesn't cause any problems.
can we customized the touch flo menu? i want to remove the weather & map serach icon.
Switch to Win 6.5 start menu
Works great, thanks alot!!!!!
