How 'bout if you could add another seperate launcher tab with unlimited(maybe, I've added 48 already) shortcuts? Its another tab for tf3d, not a seperate plugin/app. I think I got that, still have to check something, but downside is you have to enter the shortcuts into xml file instead of linking directly from programs list. Good thing about the xml though, you can enter the link, arguments for the link, and an iconpath. If no iconpath is selected, then it will use chosen program's icon. Also with xml, you can save xml file so that after a flash or hard reset, just copy your custom xml back into windows again to get all setup again. I should have it altogether tonight if anyone's interested.

Ok, here's the files. I started on att manila(which is where tab comes from) and now have it running on non att manila(. This has been tested with ONYX theme which is using the latest htc manila version(1.2.35845.1_1813.6), which is where pics came from. I had up to 48 shortcuts made up, so I don't think it has a limit. It can be an odd number of shortcuts, doesn't have to have 3 on last row.
Its made from the ATT tab that was used for ATT specific links. I removed the ATT links and images. I added the tab icon links for tab bar back into the icons.mode9 file, 61f866ab_manila. Included lua scripts and ATT tab icons (1a5a121d_manila and 2e35e5f2_manila) which you can change to match your theme. The heart of it is the att_tabitems.xml which is where you have to edit your links for the shortcuts. All of files in zip need to be placed into \Windows folder on your phone. I can't make a cab, because you will have to edit the xml file to use this first. You can make shortcuts to open web links, files, folders, or apps. IconPath can point anywhere? or left blank. The softkeys are also set in the xml, so make them what you want. They currently connect to home and programs tabs of tf3d.
Here's some examples of xml, in these I was linking to icons folder I made in root of device named Realize(from the realize icon set).
App Link
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Total Commander"
Path="\Program Files\Total Commander\cecmd.exe"
Arguments=""
IconPath="\Realize\TotalCommander.png"/>
Web Links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Opera"
Path="\Windows\OperaL.exe"
Arguments="http://m.google.com"
IconPath="\Realize\Opera95.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Google"
Path=":DEFBROWSER"
Arguments="http://forum.xda-developers.com"
IconPath="\Realize\GoogleNew.png"/>
<ATTtabItem
Name="Ebay"
Path="\Windows\iexplore.exe"
Arguments="http://ebay.com"
IconPath="\Realize\ebay.png"/>
Folder/file links
Code:
<ATTtabItem
Name="Games"
Path="\Windows\fexplore.exe"
Arguments="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games"
IconPath="\Realize\Poker.png"/>
Soft Keys
Code:
<Softkey>
<LSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://home.page" Text="Home"/>
<RSK Path="\Windows\manila.exe" Arguments="--switchtopage Manila://programs.page" Text="Programs"/>
</Softkey>
You will also have to add this tab page to your 26948339_manila file for tf3d pages. Use the following code, just change page number to fit your xml.
Code:
<Page Order="10" Name="atttab.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Launcher">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\ATTtab.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="ATTAtt_Preview" />
</Page>
Thanks Showaco.....Great work indeed !!
However, I would like to bother you a bit more.....
- I'm not sure which files I need to replace.
- Is your solution specific to ATT ? I use an unlocked version with original 1.93 ROM.
- I don't have any themes installed....I hope that shouldn't be a deterrent though.
Please help !
- regards,
Kunal
does'nt HD Manila have more program tabs than diamond manila? I am sure i saw this on Vic's latest rom.....
A New Great Work Again
Hi Showaco.
Thanks for the new great work. I am also following your thread on Raphael "BBExtreme 4.0 the REMIX ". I think you nearly solve every details related with manila
Could you please help me to fix "HD People Tab" prb that not works properly at my Diamond, Official ROM 1.35 ?
I do not want to get details here, can I send message to you from PM ?
(I try to find a solution myself by learning , sorry searching manila prg, get into details of m9editor,lua scripts,mode9 file....
But as you can guess, I was not able to find a solution )
Waiting your response,
Many Thanks
Great work Showaco!
One quick question....could you please tell me if it is possible to change the default icon size on the program screen?
I am trying to ditch the square button backgrounds and use larger 128x128 icons.
Any help would be appreciated!
The Cab Version
All the thanks to Showaco for this great application / add-in
For the people like me, how want to have this wonderfull utility, but are afraid to damage their manila (not want to hard-reset their phone).
I want to share my CAB file that is working at my Diamond with Official,Stock Rom Ver 1.35, Manila TF3D 1.0.1630.15, without any themes installed.
This cab is created according to the guide given by Showaco.
This cab will add new Launcher page as page-10, just near to Application Tab. All icons used in that cab are standard icons already install at your phone.
You can try and see if it works for you. Do not worry, UNINSTALL is working perfect, At least works for me.
NOTE: It has also been reported that CAB uninstallation may not work properly in same cases, like using a different language, not English.
But please do not forget that **INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK" **
NOTE: This cab will not work if you are using a different language,not English.
So please before trying my cab, please take a full back-up of your phone or at least take the original copy of the following files from your phone "\Windows" folder if it is exist.
"1a5a121d_manila, 2e35e5f2_manila, 4e061a9c_manila, 5e8e48df_manila, 7b1bc561_manila, 36d20e8f_manila, 61f866ab_manila, 586d37b6_manila, 786c5ee1_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila, att_tabitems.xml
(At my phone, I only find 3 files; 61f866ab_manila, 7564a2d6_manila, 26948339_manila)
sosimple said:
I tried the cab version, with rom 2.03 greek. It totally screw up my phone.. The new tab was added but language went to english , softkey was gone, telephone provider changed, and many other. I uninstalled but some problems still remain so i need format .

If it does not work you, then you can create your own CAB.
Here is the installation steps;
Upload CAB to phone
Turn off TF3D
Soft Reset to make sure nothing is still in memory
Install CAB to phone
After installation soft-reset will be asked.
Turn on TF3D
Configuration Your Launcher
You can modify ""att_tabitems.xml" at your PC by using Notepad. After the modification is done connect your PDA with Act and copy "att_tabitems.xml" file into your PDA "\Windows" Folder. The new configuration will work. (No need to turn off TF3D or make a soft-reset)
Please report your test results with your phone configuration. If it works without any prb, then we can share this great Showaco add-in as an manila application
Although I am not a expert like Showaco , please find my answers that may help you

I try to explain what I have done. I take all the files from Showaco, except "26948339_manila" file and then modify it according to guide. Actually if you check your phone manila files, you will find only 3 files (26948339_manila,61f866ab_manila,7564a2d6_manila).
Please check all the files supplied by Showaco with your phone. Take the original copies into your PC. And then give a try
Also you can use my CAB file which has Uninstall facility. If it works for you, then no prb. Otherwise, you can uninstall and give a try by yourself

I really do not want to get you trouble like that. I was trying to help some guys who are not so familiar with manila files like me
May be it is because of your language is not English.

Νo problem man. When i tried i knew there was a risk . I write it for others to know that there is a risk. After uninstalled everything went back to normal except of the icons of manila . All the icons looks like 2 times. I dont know how to describe it .When you move your finger to go from the one icon to other, the next icon (to which you move your finger) shows before you go to it. Does anyone have an idea if i can restore that?
Thanks,
I tried and the manila files of showaco and it works ok ,but i still have this problem..
The key in registry for programm tab shortcuts are here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Originally it has keys from 0 to 17 which respond to respective shortcuts. Adding new equal to adding new shortcut. .
For example:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0
(ab)DispName Bubble Breaker
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path \Windows\Main Menu\Games\Bubble Breaker.lnk
ab - string parametrs
dw - dword
If you add new one, for example
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\20
(ab)DispName
(ab)IconPath
(dw)IsReadOnly 0
(ab)Path
You will be able to see one more empty space for icon on program launcher tab.
If you set the parametr (dw)IsReadOnly to 1 you won't be able to remove the shortcut from program launcher tab (you would nee to change parametr back to 0 in registry first).

Thanks but, i tried it and, i found out that you can ad as many empty tab shortcuts, but when you click to one of them to ad a shortcut for a program, after you have ad 18 shortcuts , you cant ad another one. If you find how to solve this it would be amazing ..
anyone find how to ad more than 18 items?
I get that there are 18 spots to add shortcuts but half of myne are filled with pre-set programs that came with the phone. When I try to delete them they have a little padlock on the corner of them and I can not delete from there.
Anyone know how to delete these? Someplace in the system folders there has to be a way...
That is correct, i have the same problem.
I have 18 quick url's, and i can add a new link. What happens though is the following:
x x x
x x x
etc.
x x y
z
"x" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"y" == 18th "n"
"z" == button to add lnk
the y is the 18th lnk, the z is the button containing the "+" that makes it possible to add a nineteenth lnk.
The problem is that clicking "z" opens the correct menu, but after selecting a program, the icon remains empty (a standard black/gray icon with rounded edges and _no_plus in in) and clicking the button doesn't trigger an action as far as i've experienced it. There is however created a new icon with a "+" in it, resulting in:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
In this situation "m" is the 18th lnk, o is number 19, a lnk with no content, a black/gray button with rounded edges containing no icon. "p" Is the 20th icon, black/gray, rounded edges containing a plus.
Clicking icon "p" results in "p" turning into another "o" and an additional icon which acts as "p" did previously:
n n n
n n n
etc.
n n m
o o p
"n" == link to an application (or other if applicable)
"m" == 18th "n"
"o" == button with no content, clicking has no effect
"p" == button to add lnk
It is 1.20AM in the netherlands now, i've had some booze but i hope i've explained the problem good enough.
edit: i forgot to mention that i am wondering too how to add a 19th lnk, new buttons get added but the don't give any desired response.
Hi guys!
I have a serious problem: I am missing the programms tab in my TF3D. I don't know how to get i back. The tab is also missing in the tab configurator of TF3D, so it seems there is a serious problem.
Is it possible to easily restore the tab without flashing the whole cell phone?
I am using the latest Miri WM6.5 ROM.
I hope someone can help me...
C YA @LL
Isn't that a "feature" of Miri's ROM?
It certainly is with Dutty's. The start menu should be virtually identical to the old programs tab. This saves the need for an extra tab in the actual TF3D bar. I'm sure there will be info on this in Miri's ROM page (and probably a cab to restore the programs tab, if you really want this feature doubled up).
No, the programm tab was there as i installed the ROM. There is definitly something wrong with some manila files, but i don't where.
The tab disappeared after i installed and uninstalled a "15 tab" cab, which didn't work (TF3D always restarted). So i think there is something wrong with the manila files (perhaps it's just one missing file).
I hope this helps a little more to find a solution.
C YA @LL
Hopefully U did a backup of all ur manila files before overwriting..
Else some one can probably give U the Original manila files in miri's ROM
No, unfortunately i didn't make a backup ... So, I hope someone can send me his manila files from the current Miri ROM WM6.5 release ... or, if somebody knows which manila files are responsible for the tabs, just send me the needed files ... i don't want to reflash my HTC, or is it possible to backup all settings to restore them after flashing? I am talking about my contacts, text messages, call history, etc., and "no", I don't have outlook installed. It is also very interessting for if it's possible to make some kind of an image of the current ROM. A complete binary backup which could be restored at any time.
C YA @LL
try PIM backup.
You need to search this forum for the manila posts to know which file is holding that info. Or U can replace all the manila files from ur ROM image.
Use the nbh extractor to extract the files from the image.

Hello chefs,
I have made a custom rom for my HD2, the base is the T-Mouse 2.13. I have used the Dutch roll-up (23563), and all EXT packages from the T-Mouse 2.13. I have renamed the 0409 language files into the dutch 0413 language, and I've updated the initflashfiles.dat and replaced by the Dutch one. Everything works perfect, but I still found a few minor problems where I need your help.
Screen 1: I've already seen, but really can not find it on XDA. The Internet Explorer looks a bit strange, strange colors, and the top bar and slider is very large.
Screen 2: The documents TAB, I have to translate the buttons, and the rest was already dutch in this the manila version. The only thing I can't find, is the text in Start -> Settings -> Data Services there should have been.
Screen 3: Another TAB problem, the local TAB does not work. When I go to the control panel, it will work, but I want the manila version. How do I get this tab working, which packages are responsible.
Thanks for your help

the only thing i can say is that for screen two and three you have the wrong language files thats wy it isnt working
you could open the 0413 files and check them with the oiginal 0409 files and entr the text thats missing manually or try different language files
as for the first i believe it is a feuture of the 6.5.5 internet explorer
if you hange the internet explorer files to on of the 21903 the problems should be gone
For the Internet Explorer icons Zenkins posted a solution but you can also swop BROWSING,
BROWSINGCORE and Browsingie together with lang and DPI packages with a version from another build.
In 25.xxx this is fixed.

didnt know of this as i dont use 6.5.5(i dislike startmenu at the bottom)
will remember it if i ever make one of those
For the other Control panel settings I would have a closer look in
'ProjectDefault_A package', 'mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml'
A good reference:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664109
Another checklist is if all initflashfiles.dat entries of Manila are complete and if XMLs in
Manila don't redirect to 'Program files' instead of 'Programma bestanden'.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the sugestions, I will look tomorrow. I've had enough of today.
I let you know tomorrow if it worked.
Thnx
Okay,
I've used the ie-fix, and that solved the problem. For the documents tab in Start -> Settings -> Data Services, I found the manila file, and added the missing translations, it works now. Now only I have the problem of the location tab in the Regional Settings & Text tab(Screen 3). I've looked in all files that are specified in post 5, but I did not find something.
Which packages are responsible for Regional Settings & Text -> location tab
For now, everyone thanks for the help
I still have a problem with Regional Settings & Text -> location tab, I can not open the tab location, and then Windows hangs.
there is another thread with the same question... check the thread called fix blank space bla bla bla its already solved

Ok guys I am using osKitchen, 2.13 base stock ROM, using OS Version 24620 and my manila is 2012,
Ok so I'm wanting to cook Cookies Home tab in my rom boots fine but no sign of cookies at all even in programs or the windows folder, I've also tried cooking the editor in also but i get a mismatch
I also want to move
Internet Explorer
Alarms
pictures & video
Phone
Internet sharing
Remote Desktop
but I cant find where I edit them so they move I have managed to organise everything else into folders and create my own folders, Also I have a few icons for twitter and calender etc that take me to the manila tab,how can i delete the shortcuts??
any help or links I would appreciate so much, thank you in advance people.
p.s. I am searching also
EDIT cookies home tab sorted thanks to Crazyc
Did you remember to remove the Manila_full.xml or whatever from package? And is your cookie package being processed after Manila?
I am using an earlier version of Cookie (1.6.1) with Manila 2012 to keep the memory footprint small on my Rhodium, but the latest one converted fine as well AFAIK.
yeah I removed manila_full.xml, after manila ?? how do you do that? would i rename it so its after manila does it work that way? sorry for my ignorance
In my kitchen, when building, it runs SYS, then OEM, then EXt packages.
Within EXt it runs Leo packages, then Rhodium packages, then zzCustom ones. As the CHT packages are in the last one, I assume it overwrites any Manila files it needs to from an earlier package within the Rhodium stuff.

I imported the cab and created a ext and just called it zzzzcht so it went last and worked well thanks man now to sort the rest out lol
Glad to have helped.
The other issues are (IIRC) about locating where the shotcuts are being moved within the app.dats or initflashfiles? (Or in the provxmls)
I thought I read somewhere about adding a provxml that ran on first boot to move /edit where shortcuts went.
Can't really help here as made a screwup with my own rom the other day and am trying to see if my fixed one is stable enough now - so no flashing for a few days!
Incidentally, If you are still using Manila 2012 instead of the new stuff, I found I could add HTC Messaging 1.8 (the 2015 version) to it with no problems. I tried the cab, and then cooked it in using the kicthen converter (as a zz package)
EDIT : Actually, not sure if the 1.8 messaging client is causing me a problem. might have to revert.
Hi,
My cook rom is with last 2021 / 21690 040C and CHT2.
I've also a package for RssWidget for CHT2.
My problem is when I put the rss widget on home after if I put away tabs on the settings page, sense won't restart, need to do a sofreset.
When is not on the home page no problem even cook in.
I'm using rss and addon state links wiget
Does anybody have an idea ?
Hi,
After many search I think that's something in the parameters of CHT.
I don't find yet where, but I try with cht parameters from last HD2Owner rom and it's ok.
I've try so many things with different packages in the kitchen.
I join my backup of cht parameters if someone have an idea.
Thanks - Eric
I've also problems with the widget. After widget cooked in HTC Sense starts, but CHT isn't displayed

Hi,
I've found a way to get it working, but need to have 3 widgets pages.
On my config I just have 1 widget page and 3 quicklinks pages.
On the hd2 of my wife it's the same config of mine without AddonStateLinks and it works.
So now error is found and is something to do with widget on CHT.
Just
About your widget, did you get correct manila file conversion for the slot number ?
For now I rebuilt a complete fresh kitchen and take to playing with the new options.
I haven't test yet but for my Addon_State_link, CHTI.AddonLinks was at slot1 and was nothing at slot0, may be need to correct manila file to have it at slot0.
But will continue this on CHT topic when I'll be ready as now I know it's don't come from some of my packages.

I don't know. I did it like Cookie posted in his thread. Mode9 and lua Files from cab in ManilaHash. I think they must by prepared for the Slot 0 before, no?
