I use only a few of the tabs on Manila - but I seem to remember reading somewhere that I have to edit a certain file in the core if i want to simply not include the tabs, becuase it will crash if it cannot find the tab to which it refers.
Could someone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks
You need to edit 26948339_manila in Manila core.
Open with NotePad and delete what you dont need then change the number sequence of the other tabs.
Anyway ( reading CC sticky threads worth) in this link you are explain how to add extra tabs, just make reverse.

Edit: af974 was quicker
Thank you both. I seem to struggle with Manila generally at the moment. I knew I had read it somewhere but could not dig it up.
Hmmm. Did this and all worked except that my weather tab has stopped working. Made no other changes and have checked I have not deleted more than I should.
Any suggestions?
Cheers.
Update:Never mind. Updating my weather tab package to 2018 seems to have fixed it. Not sure why.

First off, big thanks to XBoxMod and the guys working on the Full HD Port, sztupy for creating the magnificent LUA tools and patiently answering all my questions while working on the decompiling of the LUA file(s) and 6Fg8 for m9editor which was great for manipulating the mode9 files and graphics.
This is the Weather TAB from the HTC Touch HD. For those that aren't up to doing the full HD conversion, this will only upgrade the Weather TAB without affecting the rest of the phone.

In the last versions of Xmob HD TFL3D all the Weather pictures were correctly resized.
It seems that in this application the pictures (sun, clouds and so on) are still with the wrong size resolution.
Am I wrong?

The images in here are the exact same images from the CAB's on the XboxMod HD Port. That's where I grabbed them all from.
Thanks for this great app. Looks great.
Waiting for the "to do's"
Awesome, could you do a stock tab too?

Yeah, that was one of the issues I mentioned and am trying to resolve. If you leave the Weather Tab and then come back to it, the text becomes visible again. I know, annoying.
To remove, do the following.
Disable TF3D
Restart phone
Uninstall
Enable TF3D
Ey just took a look inside the cab you created and am wondering about all the extra files you put in there is there a reason for the extra qcts and xmls and mode9 and lua files. How did you arrive at this particular file set, let me know maybe I can help, 12

The ones outside the Windows directory are duplicates (already on my phone but maybe not others) or ones that had very minimal changes between the HD and TP. So I've been moving the changed ones in and out of the Windows directory seeing if I can see a change to the Weather app for good or bad.
Near as I can tell, they don't appear to do anything in regards to my phone. But they did pertain the the Weather app. So I wanted to keep them close in case they were needed for the Diamond or a different TP version.
It's was a pain locating all these files and right now I'm again going through everything looking to see if I missed any.

Great work, I'll do the same, 12
I have searched the site for the modifications that I am after, but cannot quite find what i want for my Touch Pro.
1. Calendar tab on the TF3D menu
2. Modify existing Internet tab to display the coloured 'globe' - currently just a list of favourites.
3. Modified comm manager (keeping existing icons) so that 'switches' are htc green and not red and the highlight focus is htc green and not vodafone red.
4. I think it's the *.tsk theme to change so that highlight focus is htc green and not vodafone red on enlarged menus but grey else where retaining the black bars top and bottom with white text.
I am currently using the LantisOS TF3D with HD contacts (cfc compressed) - have tried installing other 'fixes' to give the calendar tab but it tries to over write the contacts and history tab which I already have and screws it up. I have also tried various other methods of getting what I want, see here
I do not want to change the ROM for various reasons so I am offering beer money or more to whoever wants to take this on.
OS details;
6.1 Pro 5.2.19965 (Build 19965.1.2.3)
ROM: 1.90.161.5 WWE
ROM Date: 09/03/08
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Protocol: 52.33.25.17U
TF3D: Version 3.0 (Build 29946) 1.2.34837.3_1813.6
1. Have you tried the calendar tab over here? Read through the posts, there are a few hints and tips to be found there...
2. Can't help you out here
3. Check out this thread, I guess that'll answer your question.
4. See if this also changes with the fix in question 3.

Hadn't seen that!
Ok, have tried to manually back up the manila files and replace them, can't seem to do it in total commander, even if I change all the file attributes, won't let me copy and replace.
Ok, I have got the calendar tab working, credit due to those who have worked on it However, it doesn't link to my actual calendar and you can't touch any of the dates to bring it up?
I think I'm pretty much there on the green highlight in the comm manager, just 4 *.png files to edit.
Still stuck on the the other issues. So any help much appreciated.
Am almost to the point of giving up as I can't even change the png files, oh well.
Offer still stands if anyone is interested, am happy to pay someone for the modifications that I'm after.
Thanks.

Thanks for your help chap, sorted out the colours on the comm manager here
Decided I'm not too fussed about the Calendar tab, no-one seems interested in helping out on that front as it would seem that my TF3D is all a bit 'old hat'.
Still need some help on the Internet tab though
I can put a cab file together if anyone would be kind enough to let me know which files I need for the coloured globe internet tab.
Thanks.
Sorted out most stuff, the Internet tab was the easist, didn't realise that i just needed to mod the InternetPortal-en-gb.xml file.
Now displays exactly what I want.
Still working on the calendar tab and have changed my tf3d to 12aon's full manilla rether that the CFC version as a lot of stuff like the clocks don't quite work properly with it. Also modding for the call history tab too.
Good to hear you're getting somewhere Not much is happening with the calendar tab, unfortunately... I guess you'll have to upgrade to some kind of cooked TF3D2 to get more functionality...
Is there a way to change the search provider from google to bing on the manila 2.5 internet tab?
what version of manila are you running
Ditto. Probably an easy change in the registry, but not sure where to look...
its not in the registry...its in the lua file that controls the functions of the internet portal page...i have tried to mod the file and have not been successful at doing so...
its in the XML file, im pretty sure. theres also a thing to disable your default browser in the registry, i found that. but someone else found something in the XML that might be worth looking at.. ill see if i can find it real quick..
I've modified the manila in 2.5 home tab to start G-Alarm directly from the home tab alarm icon. I also have set up a softkey link on the alarm clock tab as well.
It assumes that you have G-Alarm loaded in main memory at \Program Files\ageye\G-Alarm. Otherwise this won't work.
I've only tried this on my VGA fuze.

Dang! I looked when I was making a list of things to modify and didn't see anything. I had made my own modification for Manila 2.1 so it was easy to do it again.
don't worry, it isn't a big deal !
Thanks a lot for sharing anyway
I can't get the other program in the above link to work so I installed yours on my Touch HD; It does work, but the button is smaller than it's supposed to be; part of where the button used to be is now gone
Thanks All have been looking for this all night
Some solutions on the other thread mentioned.

It's because this is based on LUA script for older 2.5 versions. From 1922 up (more or less, can't remember exactly), you need to remove two lines from script (begin with AlarmBackground...) and compile it. I suggest you take a look at 12aon's thread (mentioned by hanackin on second post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596079) there're some solutions there in the end of the thread for already compiled and CABbed installs.
I tweaked mine myself, but I have it installed on a different path, so it wouldn't help you out... sorry.
Will this work with M2D?
Working great on my HD2, Thanks !
hm but it doesnt shows that alarm is on on home tab...how to change that?
NOTE: Updated the text file on 07/04/2010 with additional info after feedback.
Hey, has tried this cab manila 2.5_2012.1225?
I found out about it on forums after much searching. I wish I could post the links but because I'm a new user I'm not permitted
It works pretty well for me so far I just need some help trying to fix a few things like getting landscape mode to work, getting the photo browser to work properly (you can only browse ie. no slideshow or enlarging photos), getting the wifi tab to work in settings etc.
If you need help installing it just ask, I have all the necessary files and instructions - just don't know if I'll be able to post the links or upload them?
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ignore the above - I have resolved most of these issues. I have attached a text file instruction on how to install this and where to get it in my last post below.
Deleted!!!
Deleted means what?
Got the photo album to work now
Got landscape mode to work as well
Everything working bug-free now - just a few of the tabs in settings like gsensor calibration not working but nothing serious. Phew, no need for cooked roms.
manila 2.5 cab
Can you post the link?
I would like to try witht the lastest official rom
Thanks

Here is the link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=632519
Can you let us know what additional steps are needed to take after you install to get it optimized on our phones? What are the remaining bugs that still need to be fixed? I read the forum and it looks like there's alot of extra steps... this sounds great though, look forward to hearing from you...thx!

Instructions for installing manila cab
OK for all who are interested, I have uploaded a text document detailing how to go about getting this Manila CAB to work. So far I'm very happyThere may be 1 or 2 tabs that don't work in the settings tab but they really don't bother me - one is Gsensor calibration for example. Let me know if this works. I had to try and search for all the links again so I hope I got them right for you.
Known issues thus far:
1) Music doesn't play when the screen is switched off
2) Album searcher can't see videos
Am trying to get these fixed. Will let you know when I find anything.
Just one thing you must be aware of: without installing this I had about 100mb program ram; after installing with all the fixes it goes down to roughly 70mb. It's not a problem for me because I don't demand a lot from my phone and never use more than 1 application at a time but I could perhaps recommend installing netnerds custom business rom which is ultralight and then trying this CAB over it. If any of you try this approach and have success with more memory let me know

Very helpful instructions but the contacts tab isn't working for me. I can see all the details and insert contacts as I like, but when I press on the contact to call them (even from the detailed screen) nothing happens.
the weather wallpaper not working on home screen any idea to fix it?

Hi
I followed the steps and most of things work perfectly.
A few things that doesn't work for me, maybe I am doing something wrong
1. My location doesn't work
2. Music can't continue playing when I turn the screen off
3. No video in "pictures and video" tab and no landscape mode.
Thanks

Did anyone else have problems with the weather? If so try this cab file. I found it wasn't necessary for me but it was for the previous version of the manila cab file. Please note that you need to update the weather manually at least I found this to be the case. Personally I don't mind this. As far as the weather screen saver goes, I have never actually seen manila 2.5 in live action, only in videos so I don't know how exactly its should work but it does work full screen in the background but only when the home tab "reloads" so to speak, when it plays once through the animation and then returns to normal. I'm not sure if it's supposed to show the weather in the background continually without end - I thought not or it would drain the battery?
For landscape mode you need to press the 3rd "<" key on your phone.
I haven't got any videos on my phone so I haven't been able to test if it can find them or not.
Is music supposed to carry on playing when you press the left hard button? If so it doesn't mine either.
