syrius Goodies! (edit: Touchflo2D related)

//edit: I edited the Topic name so that all people using TouchFlo2D rather than only people using udKsyrius come and check this out. Most of the skins that are released/going to be released are actually more TF2D related than syrius.//
First off, I want to thank udK for the great rom. It has its flaws but Im sure you will fix this. Anyway, I wanted to contribute to this beautiful design so I made an image and an animation for the boot sequence that match the syrius look, the last "WM61" image is vista inspired. Hopefully udK will use the "udKsyrius.bmp" in ROMUpdateUtility in his future syrius roms, no offence. The .zip is attached at the bottom of this post.
Note: The preview is here to give an idea of the sequence and is not like the real thing which is a bit faster and better.

I do not take responsibility for anything that might go wrong during the following steps. I had no problems trying this out and neither should you.
1. Extract the all files.
2. Connect your Polaris to the PC.
3. copy files "WM61.png" and "syrAnimated.gif" to "\windows\" directory
4. Use a registry editor (like PHM registry editor) and modify the following keys:
(a) "\HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\StartupGif\" to "\Windows\syrAnimated.gif"
(b) "\HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\GIFFile\" to "\Windows\syrAnimated.gif"
(not sure what the difference between (a) and (b) is but when I only changed one of them, can't remember which one, the animation was not updated)
(c) "\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen\MSBitmap\ to "\Windows\WM61.png"
(d) "\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen\CarrierBitmap\ keep? "\Windows\welcomehead96.png"
(not sure what this last one (d) does, doesnt seem to do anything in the syrius r0 rls. I did not change this key)
5. Last but not least you open the "ROMUpdateUtility" folder and flash your Polaris with the "ROMUpdateUtility.exe".
(note: even though this is a very simple step you should not do it if you are not familiar with flashing ROMs.)

Also, I have an iContact and a S2U2 design in the same look as Touchflo2D and then an, in my opinion, visual improvement to the TF2D digital clock. All this will be given to you in the next couple of days. Dont hesitate to suggest other apps where the TF2D look can be applied. If this is a program that is popular or I could find usefull then I would be happy to make a skin.

Touchflo2D digital clock improved looks with whiter digits.
(note: zip is attached to first post)
Default (L) vs ice-digits (R)
In the default version of the digital clock all the images are transparent but in the ice-digits the numbers and the colon is non-transparent making them whiter. Since I dont use the AM/PM image I left it as it is, also it can be a nice look to have it a bit transparent while the numbers are white. I used the same font so there should be no other difference in looks other than the ice-digits being whiter and because its in a zip file you can combine it to your own liking having the colon transparent if you want.

I do not take responsibility for anything that might go wrong during the following steps. I had no problems trying this out and neither should you.
1. Extract the files.
2. Connect your Polaris to the PC.
3. Copy file "hh_hm_colon.png" and files "hh_hm_digit_X.png" (note X=every number) from "ice-digits" to "\windows\"
(If you want to go back to the default look do step 2. and 3. but use the files from the default folder)

Nice good work

Nice initiative!
I am trying to get t9 in other languages with a cab specifically for syrius. My first goal is Dutch, but other languages should be easy once I got one working. But I have some difficulties, for instance the shareware version of wince cab manager doesn't support importing of reg files. Are there programs better capable of handling cab files? I don't find it worth 100 bucks...
The cab I'm working on is based on the Modaco multilanguage pack. It got all the kdb files needed, I just need to get the registry changed correctly...

Ok man, but I dont know very much about that kind of stuff. I have designs and skinning as a hobby and in that field ask me anything, but other than that I dont know very much. Al I can say about your issue is that I tried a swedish t9 and now none of the t9s work but I dont think that is any help at all...

Update!
Touchflo2D digital clock and iContact skin uploaded, watch first post!

I got different languages working on different roms other than syrius, but the strange thing is that because of the differences between the roms there isn't a global solution. First I have to get it to work with syrius and then I'm going to make cabs for different versions.
It's going to take some time, I have to do it in my spare time

A total of 142 downloads but only a few comments...
I guess this is going to sound kind of pathetic but I want som friggin feedback... I dont see the point of releasing anymore of these skins if theres barely any reaction to it.
Peace!

Here it is - my critical comment. )
I`d downloaded and installed theme for iContact and dicovered a problem on Sirius R0 - that bottom butts are not skinned, they are workin fine but with incorrect images above.
(when i`ll know how to attach pictures i would place the screnncapture with the bug)

Liquidice, what verision of iContact do you use? Coz your skin doesn't work with iContact Burt Edition.
Nice skinz, thank you! Waiting for further customization.

Thx, mate.
Im using "iContact v0.8 - supware.net" and as far as I know this is the only version Its been tried on.
(added to first post)
btw. Whats different in Burts edition, is it better than v0.8?
Should I maybe do a skin for that one?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724&highlight=burt
It has much more functions. It would be nice, if you'll create a skin for it.
And what about skinning in Mannilla2d style G-alarm (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?)t=422362&highlight=g-alarm?

liquidice, your clock fix was well received! thank you!
i use itje's touch-it 3.5 rom, and installed icontact 0.8 and applied your skin and clock fix and all work fabulously! kudos!

I noticed someone has posted a supposed Touch Pro 2 Calculator .cab:
http://mylostblog.altervista.org/software/freeware/per-htc/htc-freeware-htc-calculator-esclusiva. It looks great other than it is a huge install and it only works on WVGA. Looking at the cab file, there appears to be an XML file which skins the app. I'm throwing down the gauntlet to see who can first adjust all the layout so it fits on a VGA screen.
Also, I notice some images are .bmp and some are .png, so for extra credit see if you can convert all of them to .png and maybe save some space. I'm gonna look into this myself, but I know someone else can beat me to completing this.
P.S. - Not sure if you'll have to resize the button graphics to fit, or if the w/h parameters in the layout xml will do that for you on load.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Video_Standards2.svg
I've done it (before reading this thread). But I don't know how to create cabs.
I resized the buttons (both portrait and landscape) and updated the coordinates and dimensions in the file "CalculatorMain_NoImgPkg.xml" (installed in the \Windows folder).
And also, I don't like all these small bmp files in my windows folder, so I moved the whole bunch to "\storage card\program files\htccalc"
I attach the buttons in a zip file, and the converted xml (also zipped).
This is not much use for most of you, but could be a good base for a VGA version.
"Installation":
1. install the original mylostblog version
2. delete the calc_*.bmp files from your windows folder
3. create the folder "htccalc" under "program files" in your storage card
4. unzip "buttons.zip" into the "htccalc" folder
5. replace "CalculatorMain_NoImgPkg.xml" in "\Windows" with the attached "CalculatorMain_NoImgPkg.xml"
To get to the scientific version slide out the keyboard or use a screen rotation utility.

[OEM] Custom Touch Pro 2 Manila
Got the dependencies working on the Touch Pro 2 files from the dumpity-dump, here's the Manila:
http://www.4shared.com/file/88620823/b845055a/PACKAGE_CustomRhodium_Manila.html
Same launch as the others-- open SIP keyboard while launching. The sure fire way is on Today->Items, open SIP keyboard before checking TF3D. Let's see if others can modify it faster than xboxmod (I'm busy with my ROM this will take take to resize)
EDIT: this is an OEM, not a cab, if you don't know what to do with it, then...
EDIT 2: this has not been resized, it's in CFC form, this came from the Dutty dump coming from SatScan.

Welcome to the EzInput 2.0 Keyboard Suite project.
Ok, the time has come.
HTC has rushed to prepare a pre-release of its EzInput 2.0 technology just in time for the MWC in Barcelona, and we have it here ready for our tweaks, hacks and workarounds.
These are the new layouts - only Phone Keypad and Full Qwerty, this time.
The first two Beta cabs are ready for download, but beware, this is just for experienced users only.
As you'll see, the known issues are a bit annoying, especially if compared to what we're accustomed to with the 1.5 release.
But that said, the huge use of .xml configuration files will probably mean a quite easily customizable experience for all the known form factors.
Sadly, it seems that although the .xml configuration files might be ok, the keyboard in its current form presents too many bugs to be acceptable for a day-to-day use.
Feel free to make your tests and prepare your cabs and packages. A better release will arrive as soon as the first Rhodium and Topaz phones will be ready for prime time...
Downloads
WVGA
NoKbd - Phones without keyboard
FullKbd - Phones with full hardware keyboard
Known Issues
Availability of Keypad Layout.
The Keypad layout is available and working, but not selectable using the settings or the old Input Panel.
To select it, you have to use the new SipMenu, included in cab B1.1 and above.
Only the newer phones from HTC can use the SipMenu (Elfin, Diamond, Raphael, Opal, Jade, Blackstone, Iolite).
The layout can be forced - in Portrait mode - using the registry.
Languages Availability and Selection.
Not all languages are available on the pre-release rom.
The Beta1 cab includes English, German, French, Italian and Spanish.
There's no way to select them using the standard Input Panel.
To select it, you have to use the new SipMenu, included in cab B1.1 and above.
Only the newer phones from HTC can use the SipMenu (Elfin, Diamond, Raphael, Opal, Jade, Blackstone, Iolite).
The old Language Packs made for V1.5 are *NOT* compatible with V2.0.
It seems that the main language can be forced through a registry setting, but it has not yet been verified.
Landscape mode keys don't work as expected.
In Landscape mode, a few keys don't seem to work at all.
The .xml layout definition files seem to be ok, so this might be a bug in the code.
Changelog
25-Feb-09: Beta1.3
Solved the space issue.
Removed an extra Tegic setting (coming from V1.5 customizations) that was causing it.
23-Feb-09: Beta1.2

[APP]UPDATED VERSION HTC Album Version 3.0.1911.1826 from TP2 (MADE VGA)
In other news here is the HTC ALBUM Version 2.5.1820.4127 and 3.0.1911.1826. the only thing i see different is 2.5 version does have Album Social Networking and it works with FOOTPRINTS. 3.0 is truely from TP2 and doesn't support footprints. other than that it moves quicker than other albums. this is all i can see that is different. (THANKS TO CONFLIPPER FOR THE CORRECTIONS)
to use it with FOOTPRINTS with version 2.5 you must have it installed already. When you click on a picture that has gps lat and long cordinates in it select menu and scroll down. under save to contacts you will see 2 blanked out lines. the one under save contacts opens google maps while the one under that one opens up footprints.
Version 2.5.1820.4127 that works with footprints, you can download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ynjlvtjawvc
Version 3.0.1911.1826 that doesn't work with footprints and is from TP2, you can download from here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ktjiyjzzytn
see pictures below from version 2.5 that works with footprints
UPDATE 2/26/2009: version 3 has some pics still need to be resized in should be posted soon as i am working on it as we speak.

it use more lua and we have some problem to decompile it.
We work hard to release this Manila soon as possible.
but we can't announce a release date because we don't know.
this project is not an easy task so i ask you to be patient
an please don't spam the thread to ask for a release date.
NOT YET RELEASED​
last news:
autoloader fixed
all lua soon decompiled a giant leap for this project! THX To Sztupy
I'm a Blackstone owner I don't really need this!
i do this only because i love what we do together on xda.
This is what the word community mean.
​-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Fixed
Auto-loader is now fixed!!
Some tabs re-sized to VGA!!
All tabs functional and all features working!!
Major crash issues seem resolved!!
To Do......
Slider bar is still not showing - NEED LUA HELP IF YOU CAN!!
Some tabs still need resizing in both portrait and landscape.
Other than that it's almost done guys. As xboxmod said in his post up above, PLEASE do not beg and whine and complain. It will be released when it is released and currently there is no tentative release date.
We will keep you updated as we go so please be patient.
Thanks for your understanding,
Dan.
EDIT:: [2/25/09]Small update - Weather tab in landscape mode now appears to be almost fixed completely. Update text is in the works Arrows to switch cities are being left out because of the gap they create on the far right side.

I guess there has been a bit of misunderstanding... The merge idea is great, but we should make it gradually...
Let's wait for Ameet to be back logged in...

Having all the links in one place is good idea but deleting the original threads is bad. Now it's not possible to share information, experiences and etc in an easy manner.

Yes, a better idea would be to use a main thread to post the download links, and separate threads for the ongoing discussions... trying to follow posts regarding each package would be overwhelming, in a single merged thread...

Manila 2 "landscape"? wm 6.5?

Hi dear forum members.
I have been gone from the forum a while, and it seems that I have missed alot, have tried to read alot and it seems that there is a new manila from a new device or something, and its called manila 2 "landscape"
Where can I find that cab? and whats new in it?
And about WM 6.5 is it out yet? I read that itje (the man!) is currently using it or developing, did not understand really.
Any kind soul want to share some light on all this stuff.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485959
Have fun
Whats new... hm... actually the landscape mode and some improvements like built-in calender, contact editor and some things like time editing have been integrated... I´m talking about tf3d2 in the touch-it 4.0 ROM. So i dont know exactly if all stuff i have is include in the .cab.
wm6.5-thread has been closed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475541

Ok thanks, Itje says he is not going to continue on the cab and daran_cark is, hope he makes a cab soon enough =)

OMNIA II is on the way - and it's a bloody awesome phone, the best!), I'm "playing" a lot, I'm "wearing" a "Sector Zeus" Rom (Sector is the very best "cooker" to me) and I've changed almost EVERY POSSIBLE UI there is in the planet, to find out what I like more!
Many UIs are simply... "disaster", some o' them are quite good, few are really great... but I think (these lucky HTC bastards!) Manila 2D with TouchFlo is the BEST, the SIMPLIEST, the MOST FINGER-FRIENDLY of all!
So... I'm using M2D along with "Zeus BlackLite"...
Now... I want to find a GOOD, step-by-step tutorial of HOW TO MAKE MY OWN themes for M2D!
I'm capable to make good looking graphics (check my web-site: http://www.lupus-creations.gr - press the ENGLISH version! The other is... "all Greek to u"!), but I don't have a single clue of how to make a M2D theme or to make it in .CAB VERSION!
Can you give me your "lights"?
Also, finally, I've search the web to find out a decent LIVERPOOL FC theme, to install it first in my OMNIA, till I make my OWN Liverpool FC theme.
Is there any?
Thxs in advance for any kind answer of yours.
Regards,
R.

Best way to start mate is to take another theme unpack it then start replacing the graphics files with your own some of the Manila themes come Packaged in .m2dct (manila.m2dct) change the m2dct to .zip (Manila.zip) some come in cab files you can download freeware ce cab file software google it
Like your graphics and look forward to seeing your themes
Nice example here:

Got it...
I'm on it... Thxs, m8. And for your kind words, too.

I posted a cab with an xml tat makes less files to edit. it should be in the mega manila thread. Unpak the ab with wince cab manager or better yet ervius package creator.
in te initflashfiles ou will notice tat onl half of the files get dumped in windows. (lower file count in windows folder = better performance) I also got rid of 28 files that repeat them selves through out the tabs. also I changed most of the bitmaps to PNG'S (MUCH Better) some files still have to be bitmaps like the ones in the photo tab.
so it is less work and I tink that it should be a great starting point for you.
I personally like to make "performance" themes for manila. that is to say hemes made for low end devices like the wizard which has limited space ram and processor. so I usually save most of my files in 8bit 16 colors.
the challenge for me is to make it look good and work fast... currently working on a "ducati" theme. should live up to it's name.
I was actuall thinking about writing a tutorial recently concerning making lighter skins. reaon I started to make my own is that on some occasions I would istall some one elses on my wizard (when i still had it) and would get terribly dissapointed at he performance drop.
I think that will be my next project.
EDIT: found the page fot you.

BLOODY MARVELOUS, dear "S.V.I"!!!
Thxs a lot!
Another Q.
I've start workin' in a M2D skin o' mine...
I can't understand - first - HOW can I enable the ANALOG clock instead of the digital and... HOW - second - a skinner is managing to PLACE the analog clock NOT in the middle but in the upper-left corner! I've seen some skins, with the analog NOT IN THE MIDDLE! I want the same thing for my background pic, 'cause I have my "theme" in the middle and right... and I've left "empty" (more-or-less) the upper-left, for the clock...
Can you please gimme your "lights"?
Thxs.
P.S.: Generally, .png are TOTALY suitable for interfaces, instead .bmp - .bmp are HUGE kb's images and therefore, the skin will be "hard" for less-powerful devices.

enabling the analogue clock i a rgistry setting in hlkm.software.htc.manila.home. set the reg to 0.
there is a value in the home xml tat movs the center position of the clock. the number digits have to be moved also. the values for that are top left corner of the image file. it helps to draw a huge cursor layer to help you figure out the poitioning.
sorry for the spelling. my keyboard is misbehaving. mut be dirt under the keys.
as soon a I have some free time (hopefully this weekend) I will write this tutorial thing.
I have finally got the latest manila "fixed" with analogue clock as well as digital
did ou know that the botom bar (slider) can be only 1pxl wide?

Well, m8... you gotta write down this bloody tutorial for M2D!
I can't wait!
I hope you write it in this weekend... I'll be around, every day!
Cheers and thxs!

Porting packages from different Resolution??

Hi all
I want to port a dialer from the Photon to the Nike or the EzInput from the Rhodium
I was wondering if I can ask from the guru's who port dialers, Sense, etc from 480x800 to 480x640, etc what actually needs to be edited?
I have IDA and Restorator as well as a hex editor. I would like to learn how to go about this and want some help.
I know pcarvalho at one stage was porting the EzInput 2.1 before the MEGA was released - so I know that it is possible, just want to know how.
The main reason for the EzInput is that the Nike has a hardware keypad that doesn't seem to work with any Ezinput other than v1.5 and then there is a 16key version and a 20key version, so the builds are different - just want a more recent one that is QVGA and works with the hardware input also
Reason for the dialer is to correct a few errors in the MEGA dialer (already corrected the incoming call Position - but Call History is an issue) and I believe that V5 Phone Canvas solves this problem - I would also like to look at a more recent 3G dialer, but the only that I can do for that is look at porting one from a different resolution, as there are no recent QVGA ones. Why the Leo never had 3G video dialing is a mystery to me
Is it possible to add Video dialing to a 2G dialer Canvas?
Anyway, I hope someone can assist me to do this, or at the very least point me in the right direction.
Thanks
DT

that is very hard and i dont know how to make it... look at this OEM pkgs i get from LEO to QVGA maybe you can have an idea makin a diference hex edition

Thanks + Que PPC - I have already ported the power/backlight from the Leo - editing the XMLs is good if the package has them.
I also understand what I am asking is not straight forward; otherwise anyone could be doing it. There are however, those in the XDA community that have the knowhow - I don't mind if the help comes via PM or email so that the inevitable thousand questions and comments aren't there - it is though, something I would like to be able to do, if not just for myself, but to also help the XDA community.
The people with QVGA devices would love to get updated components - the MEGA helped that immensely, but they are still crying out for a decent 3G dialler – I would be able to halve my ROM releases if nothing else with that. I for one want to be able to use a newer Ezinput – one that I can get working with the Nike’s hardware keypad. If that means pain stakingly editing every file in a package, then so be it.
Maybe it is as easy as editing a few XML files with the newer packages – I don’t know, if someone wants to help then I welcome the assistance. We all start somewhere and I wouldn't be able to even cook a ROM if 14months ago people in this community didn't lend their helping hand.
Thanks again, appreciate the input.
