Adding quick links to Sense 2.5 cause sense to restart - Windows Mobile

Hi every one.
recently I came across a bug in my Wm6.5.xx rom with htc sense.2.5.
when i try to add a program short-cut to the home-tab quick-links, Htc-Sense restarts ,but i can add contacts or bookmarks without any problems.
any suggestion are welcomed.

This sounds really familiar! I am sure I ran across this one before...but cant remember what I did to fix it!!!
Anyhow, did you interchange any of the manila pkgs? Or using all the original pkgs together?

yup, it was a customized version for the rhodium.but NrgZ told that i must have the wrong version of icon-loader package in the rom.
im trying now.

co0kies theme requirement

Hey Guys,
Since Android hasn't finished yet i will not switch over yet, and wait wil switching OS.
instead of that i will use an Theme for the TP2. ( co0kies Home Tab )
i found co0kies home tab theme very great, as i searched for further info i found out that i need Manila 2.5 ( 2.5.1920, 2.5.1921, 2.5.1922, 2.5.2011, 2.5.2012 )
Where can i get this? After many hours of searching i found out that it might already be on the phone, but i dont know what version is on it.
can someone help me with this? Co0kie wrote this to find it out.
To check your Manila version: go to the settings tab in Sense, select "About phone", and then "Software Information".
If you have any problems with this mod please report your full Manila version (e.g. 2.5.xxxxxxxx), the device and ROM you are using.
Where is this tab named "Sence" ?
Can't find it anywhere x'D.
So, do i have Manila ?
If i dont, Where can i get this?
If i do, How can i see what version?
And if i found out what version, What is this tab named "Sence"
Another thing is that if something goes wrong, how can i return to the normal WM 6.5 ( NON - MODDED / THEMED )
Also, Last question.
Do i need to flash my phone for this?
Greetings
If you're still on the stock ROM that came with the phone, then you don't have Sense 2.5
The only way to get sense 2.5 in this case is to flash a rom with it. You should be able to get all the necessary information in the rom development forum
THANKS! i will search for this, very usefull !
Sence is the Bar below right? cause at Settings > More > Today > Items i have "HTC Sence" In the list.. and its checked on..
If i have this "Sence" Where can i get the Manila thing?
I found manila.exe in my File explorer\Windows\manila.exe
How can i see the version of it ?

"Sense" is the entire pretty little graphical interface that you're playing with...the clock, the tabs on the slider, and everything in those tabs, is all the interface that HTC built to go on top of Windows Mobile. HTC has been calling their shell "manilla" for a long time, Sense is just the latest generation of that. There is no "sense tab", and the exact location of where you can see your sense version varies....which carrier's model of TP2 are you using?
However, it's kind of moot...like ctbear said, if you're still running the stock rom, you're not on 2.5 anyway, most likely 2.1, so you'll still need to flash a ROM if you want to use co0kie's home tab
i live in europe, and my carrier is Hi.nl so i dont really know what model im using..
thanks for the information, could you provide me with a link that has the 2.5 rom? i'm so afraid i will choose the wrong one since there are so many around
thanks for the information again!
Hey guys, flashing a ROM isn't the only way to get 2.5 on the phone. I followed the directions in the "Manila Sense 2.5 cab?" thread (forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661941) after a Task29 and a couple of hard resets using the stock TMOUS 6.5 ROM...I have 2.5 running fine with the CAB from post #4 of that thread. I put CHT and CHT Editor on and all is well. It's way easier to use a Energy ROM, but I was having problems with messaging and connectivity so I went back to the stock ROM. As I said, all is well...going on the 3rd day with the setup and haven't had any hiccups. No tinfoil hat phantom usage issues, either.
YMMV, obviously.

If you got the phone from KPN/HI you will have an unlocked TP2 for which you can get the latest Rom on the HTC website. Manillaversie: 2.5.20121225.0 is Sense 2.5. Original Dutch Rom should be 2.07.404.1 NLD.
If you need any more info let me know. You can also send me a Pb in Dutch if that would be easier for you.

In Norway the TP2 is now coming with Sense 2.5 as standard stock ROM.
To the question, slide the slider at the bottom to right(all the way) then you'll be at the settings tab, follow cokie's instructions from there...

You dont need to upgrade your rom to get Sense 2.5...

I myself havnt tried it as I DO flash roms. However, Xhero doesn't seem to know much about anything on this phone... nor to use the search feature... nor how to use google and search "The difference between Manilla and sense" Soooooo I wouldn't recommend flashing a phone just yet to him/her.
Xhero... do your reading.. LOTS of it before you start trying to customize your phone. You dont want to screw it up and then have to come back and start a new thread asking how to hard reset your phone... Please please learn how to search the forums too. The best advice that can be given to a new user. If its too difficult to use that search key in the top right of EVERY page on every thread on XDA then in google search what you are looking for and type "XDA" after it..... ie.. "Manilla 2.5 install cab XDA" or something like that and Bingo Bango you'll be brought to the thread!
A little research and common sense goes a long way. Have fun with your phone and remember to post relevant questions in the appropriate threads and you'll likely get your answers super quick!
I have allready guided him to the correct Romupdate from HTC. Yes there are other ways of getting Sense 2.5 but this is now the easiest way for him to obtain it.
In the Netherlands the TP2 is also now being shipped with Sense as I got mine last Saturday with the new Sense on there.

Sense porting to 6.5.3

Hi all, noobie cook here. I tried updating to 6.5.3 on my HD2 but found that because the menu is now at the bottom of the screen the HTC Sense interface is out of alignment. There is now a gap between the top bar and the Sense interface.
I found that the HTC volume controller doesn't work either.
Could you guys please tell me how to fix this as I am sure a lot of cooks have managed to fix it (looking at the existing custom ROMs available here).
thanks in advance
In case you're using an older manila you get this issue. To correct it try to search for position fix. You will find several methots to fix it, but I'd suggest to use one of the latest (TMOUS) manila. They're already compatible with wm 6.5.x.

Many thanks for your quick reply Tistitus. Do you know if there is a list of the main Manila folders in EXT so that I can use the TMOUS one? I mean the one similar to the T-Mo UK version ie. minus the doc viewer which I don't like/need but takes a lot of space.
thanks

I Found that if you download sense 2_5_2016 WVGA LOC - you can download from this site, and drop the packages into the Ext packages folder it resolves the issue.

[REQ] Sense 2.5.2015 Full

Hi all, I've been seeing references to this new version in new custom ROMS and was wondering if somebody could tell me where I can find this or better still the Official HTC ROM from which it comes.
Many thanks in advance

Oboe Debug ROM (Manila 2015)
I used this it contains manila 2015 in Chinese though. I removed all the 0804 packages and replaced with 0409. Seems to work fine. I cant seem to get the new WVGA HTC lockscreen working though. Gives me default windows one everytime even though I am including the new starticonloader.
Also stay away from the new messaging client. I replaced the graphics to get rid of the Chinese characters. But it still gave me problems. The rest of the updated packages seem to be working OK

[Q] Have you ever seen this bug in Sense 2.1 calendar & contacts?

Hi All,
I cooked several WM6.1+Sense2.1 WWE ROM using Yozgatg's Gen.Y R5.5 MultiLANG Kitchen but every time I get this bug:
The menu appears this way in the calendar and in the contacts (manila) as well.
I modded the ROM heavily, but I got this error even if I try cooking in the mods one by one.
If anyone have met with this bug please tell me what the fix is.
Thank you!

[Q] Manila: editing 22e41977_manila (home layout) to see more calendar entries

Hi All,
I searched a lot but could not find a solution, so here's what I want to do: Manually editing the 22e41977_manila file to remove the RSS reader (allready done this one) and use the newly available space to display the next two calendar entries instead of just one. I know that CHT can do that but CHT slows my device down alot. So I want to edit the homescreen by my self and cook it in the ROM.
A similar question has been asked a while ago here, but with no really helpful answer.
AFAIK CHT also edits the responsible Manila file so some one allready needs to know that Do you guys have any hints?
I am using the latest (2021/2) Manila from OBOE BTW...Thanks alot already!
Hey mate,
I too tried to work on this and asked similar question here.
But with no luck/help yet .
It will be good if we can have this working.
BTW: Default Manila home does display one entry from calender but only if that is NOT FULL Day appointment .
Thanks.
Sounds like your best bet would be to ask in the CHT thread. A lot of the people involved in that project are more than willing explain how certain aspects of the mod are accomplished. They have helped me in out in areas like this. Just a thought
Another Idea that just popped up in my mind: How about using the plain manila we have now, install CHT and modify the home layout according to this. Now backing up the respective manila file(s?) and uninstalling CHT. Afterwards replacing the manila file in the ROM or the kitchen. Could that work? Thoughts?

Manila files used in CHT are very complicated and tightly coupled so we cant use part of those files .
We can try to look into the files (responsible for this task) of CHT and figure that out... but that is not easy .
Thanks.
