Problems with Manila 2D, pls help!! (Old:Searching for a new Today Plugin)

Hi Guys!
I wasn't online for a long time, i think everything has changed here
Well...i started this thread, because i cannot read through all unread threads...
Maybe i could help others with this Thread, too!
concern in this thread:
Currently im using Battery-Status + UltimateLaunch...It's very stable, but i don't like the theme anymore...also it doesnt support landscape...
So i want a new "Today Plugin".
"Wishlist" for the TodayPlugin:
- Portrait + Landscape Support
- Good looking (maybe a "modern" style)
- Stable (no Beta's, besides its stable!)
- Today-Screen integration (No MobileShell,PointUI,..., cause it's a "lay-over"-App(Reason for this: With this apps you need a hack/workaround, that the original today screen is NEVER shown!))
- low requirements (fast)
- Customizable (Define Program Pages, and define my own sms,mail,calendar,... -apps)
Which today plugin can i use???
If you don't want to help me, just ignore the thread

Truth is there is nothing that is %100 how you requested. Not yet anyway.
You have three you can look into:
Throttle Launcher (My favorite---ThrottleLauncher.com)
Manilla2D
GSmart
There is also HTC Home, but I think your more into the above stuff.

You must at least try Manila2D (TouchFlo2D).

thx very good article

Hi there!
I've tried Manilla 2D and...wow, THIS is what im searching for
BUT i have a lot of problems with it...
I've downloaded from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173&highlight=Manila2D
the zip file "manila.zip" (the first downloadlink in this post) and installed all apps, including the 12MB big cab "Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926.CAB"
then i installed the manilla2D configuration tool...
then i've downloaded the german translation, an copied all files in the "windows" folder of the archive to my windows-folder of my device...
then i've downloaded the "bliss" theme (tsk+wall) and copied it also in my windows folder...then i activated the tsk file...
after this, m2d was starting...but i have following problems with it:
- If i switch to landscape, m2d stays portrait...so the bottom items are cropped...
- i cant see any text on the home tab....i can see the icons of "calendar" and "missed calls", but i CAN't see any text next to it! same problem on the "settings tab"...just the icons, no text...the same problem in the HTC album (if i click on a picture in the picture tab the album shows up...if i click the bottom right icon, i can see 4 lines..i think these are the options, but i cant see any text!!
- if i go to the weather tab, i cant see anything...blank screen...(maybe its the same issue, such as the "no-text"-issue in the tabs i mentioned above?)
- in the sms tab sometimes, there is "(null)" instead of the date...in the mail app this "(null)" is ALWAYS shown instead of the date...
- where can i download themes for m2d and add it in the m2d configuration tool?
- and is it normal, that i have to overwrite the background-png in the "manilaGFX" folder to gain my own background in m2d??
please help, manila2d is so beautiful

Dude, I know that you are confused, but everything is in the Manilla thread.
This thread shouldn't be opened.

the plugin (application) in my opinion would best meet all your requirement is wad 2, eventhough it is not free but you can download a trial version. it is highly customizable and you can find some very beautiful and modern looks. this is best application if you want to replace your desktop.
p.s recommended for advanced users only

Works for my HD...

I think Im with the original poster. There appears to be some buttons missing to actually set a change of icons etc.
Who has it working and if so, how ?

nobody to get it working in WVGA?

Got it working on mine. Not ideal but good enough to get things changed.
Heres what I did -
Installed this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451694
Start the program from start>programs>vmode switch.
Select 480x640
Then press home button>programs
OPen Manila customizer and customize.
When finished, do a soft reset.
Worked on mine.
maybe someone will find a way of switching it (vmode) off when youve finished with manila customizer.

hi,
it works with the link you give me!
thanks

touch flo 3d icons

hey guys i was trying to install cab files to change the touch flo 3d icons.. but everytime install the cab file the icons just remain the same. what is the correct way to install the cab files.
i tryed searching rhodium threads but did not find anything sorry if it was answered.
thanx in advance

And what ROM version have you in your device?
Is it the one you bought the phone with or is a customized one?
all the best!

i am using enerygy rom with 2.5 manilla

Make sure you install to phone not sd card and reboot

I don't want to state the obvious, but have you restarted TF3D (either by soft-reset or via Today settings) after installation of your cab?

yes i have restarted numerous amount of times still nothing

I am having the same problem - only a FEW icons are updating after turning TF3D off, installing cab, soft reboot, turning TF3D on again.... Icons like Calendar, Weather, and others that I took off work just fine with ANY Icon skinning cab, but everything else - Home, People, Messages, Email, Photos and Videos, and Settings do NOT skin over...... Have searched my phone to see if something is preventing icons from not skinning, but cannot come to a solution....
I need to get rid of the half-and-half look!!!

same issue here, is a registry change needed to enable those tabs to change ?

No one has an answer for this yet? Still trying to figure it out, but the more times I keep throwing CABs at it, the farther away from a solution I feel I am coming to!

[Q] Manila 2D is not working

Hi
I have O2 ATOM PURE win 6.5
I want to install Manila 2D
I tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750
i installed the cabs but manila is not working
just there is "tap here to launch touch flo"
after i tap :::> "launching touch flo" then nothing happen & then "tap here to launch touch flo" appears back
any help ?

Use the old manilla version cab. Important is, to install both HTC Settings and HTC Settings Improovement cabs. As I got it running on my comet (atom life) with original WM6.1, it should be possible.
I'll try to make a cab the other day, but it will take some time, as I'm really busy although I have got some days off now.

[Q] [REQ] Cab to restart Manila

Hi there,
I'm looking for a app to automatically restart or stop manila.
I think I found one sometimes but cannot find it anymore.
I need a shortcut to avoid wasting times in menu...
If someone have that, thanks for sharing.
Regards.
