Brightness & other icons from HTC HOME to Manila Program Tab

I think that many of manila`s users want to change brightness, screen orientation & lock device like it were in htc home - from programm tab with several icons.
Can anybody do cab with these icons that we would add they from program list as other programlinks?
I`d try to install HTC HOME but no needed icons appeared.

[APP] Manila Customizer - Customize Clocks, Icons, Sliders etc [15 May] New Version

I decided to write a Manila Customizer that will work Similar to HHC for Kaiser.
The app can be unzipped anywhere but i suggest \Internal Storage\Program Files\ManilaCustomizer
The Clocks are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Clocks
The Icons are stored in Whatever path\ManilaCustomiser\Icons
The Sliders are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\Sliders
The TopCurtains are stores in Whatever path\ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
The BottomCurtains are stores in Whatever Path\ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
The app will look for a .jpg file in order to be able to display and add a Clock theme and same goes for icons etc
So if you want to add a clock Called FireLighter then simply Create a Folder :
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter <-The Folder where the Manila Files are
\Whateverpath\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks\Firelighter.jpg <- The image that will be displayed
Note the Jpeg and the folder has to be the exact same spelling.
If the system finds a .jpg it will look for a folder by the same name and move all those files into \Windows upon selecting the Clock Set.
Same goes for the Icons and all others
There are a few special files in \ManilaCustomizer\*.txt. When an Item is applied the files for the Item (eg Clock) is stored in these files and when a new Item is applied it will first delete the files from the previous Item and then Apply the new Item (was changed to work this way in ver 0.6)
Please give feedback. Thanx
Ok i decided to split it into three parts for now. Application , Clocks, Icons.
So unzip Clocks into WhateverPAth\ManilaCustomizer\Clocks and same with icons
IVe only tested this on original installed black Manila on WWE Rom
Credit goes to the Following People so far who Supplied Clocks and Icons
NisseDILLIGAF
Panosha
lexxirae
ProphecyXR
doc31 - Sticker Icons
skilty - Added a zip file with three new sets of everyting. Very nice
If there are some clocks here that belong to anyone please pm me and ill add your name to the credits
Done :
Clocks \ManilaCustomizer\Clocks
Icons \ManilaCustomizer\Icons
Sliders \ManliaCustomizer\Sliders
TopCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\TopCurtains
BottomCurtains \ManilaCustomizer\BottomCurtains
Please Check Post two. Delete the whole app before reinstalling. Fixed all Clocks etc
Wanna Say Special thanx to NisseDILLIGAF for his help. I dont know much about Manila files but he has helped me a lot
The ManilaCustomizer.Zip file includes 2 samples of every item cause some people dont understand the directory structure to well. Hope this helps
Garp69 Took it upon himself to maintain all graphics for this app And Im Very Thankfull for him for that please have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2891202#post2891202
New version on next post

ChangeLog
Ver 0.1 - Initial Test Version, Only First Tab Worked for Clocks
Ver 0.2 - Added Icons Tab and Made it functional
Ver 0.3 - Rewrote Whole app and made it finger friendly.
- All Tabs Working Now, Clocks,Icons,Sliders,Top Curtain,Bottom Curtain
Ver 0.4 - Manilla Automatically Disabled at Start of Program and Started on Program Exit by using this app : http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
Ver 0.5 Fixed Finger sliding (was working wrong way around)
- Added Option to remove all manila files in windows
Version 0.5 Included Top/Bottom Curtains and Sliders in Manilacustomizer05.zip Please delete all old clocks and icons and curtains and sliders. I fixed all problems i think and old files might cause complications
Ver 0.6 Changed the way the thesmes are handled. It seems like to many different clocks, Icons and sliders use too many different files. The system will now store the files to be deleted for every item. SO when a new Item is applied it will delete all the files from the previous Item before applying new files, then store the new files and delete them again next time a new item is applied. No new files required it will use ResetClock.txt etc
Ver 0.7 Alot was changed. So please delete all files and folders and unpack the main zip files
System will now backup any item before it will apply a new one
Option to Restore from last backup
All manila files can be backed up (Not really recommended because it can be over 1000 files and take 8meg - im looking for a better colution)
Confirmation added before Resetting all manila files
Slide option is changed so when last item is reached it will got to first one and when first is reached it will jump to last
Version 0.8 Item Backup and Restore working 100%
Complete Manila backup will look at rom date and backup all manila files thats different so backup can be as little as 2 files if onl a clock was changed instead of backing up all manila files.
Manila Restore working perfectly as well
Version 0.9 Added Backgrounds and Touch Focus. Still busy with better backup solution. Look for Panorama Backgrounds on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3412257&postcount=748
Uninstall old version and reinstall new one, you wont loose any of ur custom items

Another one
Busy with at the moment :
Added Touch Focus Colours - Done
Added WallPaper Change option - Done
Adding Custom Option so people can have own special settings etc. Will be added Under Clocks/Sliders/Etc will also have an undo option for that
Adding functionality so one can enter a name when backing up full manila so custom themes can be backed up and restored....would be nice for saving multiple favourite looks.

Great application, thank you

good idea, thanks for sharing

Dude...you're the man.....
Great applications...Will try it soon.....
Thanx man !!!

Cool
Please tell me what other Hacks/Custmizations can be added

Grumps you can take all my icons themes (here) they are all in zip files (directly manila files)
i work to make zip manila files for my clocks

ok man i tried it ...and i found some bugs...(i don't know if you just know this bugs)
PS: I have an italian ufficial ROM
1)If I want to put a flip clock the clock flip veryveryvery fast...and appear "T-mobile" instead the mine.
2)There isn't the manilla files for the analog fire clock xD only the pic
3)The "Help" button in "Option" doesn't work
Sorry i didn't try the icon yet...but I will do it soon
EDIT: ok man i tried the icons...and that works perfectly
Anyway....great work man!!!

Thanx

10x very much. it's a great program.
I'll check it later.

2. if u can integrate the tool that choses the default calender, dialer, sms....

1. I will do this as soon as its working on analog clocks as well
2. Do you mean to reset everything to default?

Great idea, keep going.

all my themes have the slider ( you can see it in pictures)
the slider : 1e29e8e7_manila
i've got an idea :
make the choice to have the background behind the icons and the background of provider and date (black, colored, semi transparent or not)
background icons : 1864da05_manila
background provider and date : 18c460d8_manila

Ok im confused i dont know much about the inner workings of Manila.
If you say background icons, background provider and date can you be more specific to what it is exactly then i can do that.
Im going to ad invisible top/bottom bar next and different sliders

Thanx bud

2 - is the bottom bar or icons background : the file associat is 1864da05_manila
3 - is the slider off course. the file associat is 1e29e8e7_manila
i hope you understand me

Awesome..
Well done Grumps.
Was waiting for a programmer to tackle the whole customisation of the TouchFLO 3D interface.
I have a rapidshare premium account at your disposal when your project is completed.
Is there any chance of changing the weather graphics in this as well?, extra tab would be good to i.e calander tab, missed call, comm-manager etc.
Once again a big thank you from all at XDA-Developers..

Thanx

Can you attach the files for 1 and 2 thats invisible as in your example

Can't change background and clock going haywire

Hi guys
Ok, first of all - this is my first post. Woohooo. K now that that's out the way, lets get down to business.
Had a new slider and clock etc and then I saw XenRed (http://www.archy.net/2008/11/15/xen-theme/) ... Decided to install it (using Diamond TF3D Config) and it works. But can't change the wallpaper. Tried using mUn BackGround4AllPages v.02 and then my clock just started ficking through numbers and sticks at 12:59. I Used Diamond TF3D Config to reset to defaults and I just can't get the wallpaper to work (I tried in Settings - Wallpaper and Start - Settings - Today - Use the Picture as the background).
I'm not a developer so I can't exactly go write my own manilla files or whatever. Does anyone have any ideas?
P.S. If possible, I wanna have a different today wallpaper to every other one but wanna customise both. I came across this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508799
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419799&page=53
But I don't know how to edit Manilla files. Is there a CAB that will work that I don't know about? Thanks everybody

that background for all pages has some nasy effects on some versions of the tf3d especially modded versions, theres not much you can do apart from either unistall everything to do with the tf3d and re install tf3d or hard reset and start again

No offense but this has already been posted in the corresponding thread. No need to open a new one. It is (probably) related to the new Manila version.

A new thread for that: braaavo noob!

this is a problem for all. sorry for thread

My friend, no need to open a new thread for this kind of problems. Just report it to Dutty (he already knows about the problem). And wait for an update from Dutty himself. Opening threads like this makes this forum full of threads that don't get answered. They only make a lot of traffic and disorder. I don't know what the moderators are doing here. They only close things that could be useful but oh no not this kind of thread.

Hi,
test the attached cab file.

Totally Agree!

No it does NOT work. Same problem. Alarm ain't working and weather animation still freezes. You should test better next time.

And NO, MaxManila does NOT work either. Stop giving suggestions without testing them first.
We are talking about Dutty's ROM not some other ROMs. "20 shortcuts" or "16 shortcuts" won't work on the version of Manila Dutty is using. Just for now.
(They work but with bugs. Alarm button not working and weather animation freezes)

I think the thread title should be changed.
This is not just with Dutty's ROM. This problem is there in every ROM that is using the Sense Manila version 2.5.19222911.0
So, Please change the title of this thread to reflect this information.

Friend - I am using this Dutty Rom Manila 2.5 on my HD2 and MaxManila 2.7 works 100 % without any problems. All the features of maxManila 2.7 works without any problems - I selected 20 quicklinks . Infact I just test it again with 16 quicklink and there is ABSOLUTELY nio issue at all. The Alarm also NO issue and weather animation is perfect so much so I never like it and I always turn it off with MaxManila 2.7. Perhaps is other installed software affecting you are unable to have it done.
After installed the rom, I restored my email/SMS/PIM. Then I install BSB tweaks - configure it , reset and then I install MaxManila 2.7. After MaxManila 2.7 successfully installed , I proceed further to customize it further with clock chnages and visual customizations from DJcedric cabs . I have again I say ABSOLUTELY no problems and the whole rom is still pretty stable - already having it on my unit last 10 hours

ok mate. I have done a hard-reset and installed nothing but max-manila 2.7 and the bugs are still there. so I think there is something else that you do. I will play some more with max manil and will report back.
I think you didn't get what the bugs are. The "alarm" on the home screen won't launch the "alarm prgram" and when the weather animation (like when clouds flying all over the home screen, you slide the slider to another tab (messeges or whatever) and back to home screen, the clouds are frozen in the middle of the home screen. They don't move)

Alarm on homescreen will launch alarm program immediate ; and weather animations no such issue of freezing. Infact I very simple user - I just choose what I want from the MaxManila 2.7 options. The only fancy items are changing the analogue clock and the clock backgrounds ; others are status quo as per MaxManila 2.7. After I have fully setup homescreen to my desire, only then I proceed installed all the 3rd party programs
Anyway I cannot comment further as I am very happy and it works perfectly for me.
The only irritating issue is when I choose to change the homescreen wallpaper it is not immediate; I have to slide the bottom tabs few times to have the change effected and the wallpaper is same across all tabs

I mean that's very very weird. Could you send a picture of your home screen? If it's difficult for you, just forget it.
PS. it would be great if others could confirm that Manila Max works without any bugs.
Thanks a lot for the info mate.

I am uisng on dutty´s rom the version from Jaguaralani.
it is working BUT I have noticed one problem:
If you add a shortcut you cannot see the icon. After a soft reset the icon is visible (probably a restart of HTC-Sense would be the same).
Best regards

And you don't have any of the bugs mentioned above?
If you don't then, there is something very weird going on here. How can the same .cab file behave differently on two devices? Anyone able to answer that?

Jaguaralani's mod causes the displaced background issue and alarm bug, the same as both of Vovichek & Jamrecords cabs. I will give Max's 2.7 cab a go now and report back with my findings.

Using HDWall + MaxManila Together

I've been reading the forum for 3 days so sorry if this is covered somewhere, I can't find it.
I'm trying to use a full screen HDWall wallpaper (taskbar + softkeys skinned) with MaxManila.
I have made the wallpaper without any problems and it looks good when installed but when I install MaxManila afterwards, I lose the wallpaper?? The top and bottom bars stay skinned, but the main wallpaper is gone and I can't get it back??
I've tried installing MaxManila first then the wallpaper, I'm using the correct HQwallpaper patch, I'm selecting "D" in Maxmanila wallpaper settings, tried setting it from Menu, Settings etc?
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong or can offer any help?
I'm on stock HTC 1.66 ROM with 2.5.1921 Manila
Thanks in advance.

Errrm youre supposed to install max manilla first and also which version of max manilla are you using? 2.7 or 2.7 SE ?
for 2.7 here: Default - this is the manila wallpaper that requires app like HDWall to create. Rather than using the latest file of 512x1024, I have reworked a fullscreen default wallpaper using the old filenames. If you are using HDWall, go to config and select profile "TouchFLO v2.5 BETA - No Compression - All Tabs".
* 4bfcbbee_manila
* 54612042_manila
for 2.7 SE:In the home tab just press menu/Home Walpaper/Portrait Wallpaper, To select ur wallpaper for all tabs. Note that sometimes the wallpaper doesnt set as there may be a bug so just keep trying to select the wallpaper till it appears and it it still doesnt appear just select remove wallpaper and continue trying to set ur wallpaper again .You also dont have to uninstall HDwall i think since you do want to have your taskbar and softkeys skin remain.
I have HDWall and max manilla 2.7 SE running on my HD2 without much problems
I also assume you're running just max manilla 2.7 since u could select the D option while 2.7 SE is locked to B

Thanks for your answer mate.
This morning I have MaxManila 2.7 SE installed, so I have installed HDwalls on phone, used HDWall on PC to make my cab. Tried first with Config set as you suggested "TouchFLO v2.5 BETA - No Compression - All Tabs" - installed cab and reset - top + bottom skinned but nothing else. Wallpaper not showing in menu/Home Walpaper/Portrait Wallpaper??
Tried again using config set to "HTC Sense v2.5 & WM 6.5 - All Tabs - No Compression", installed cab, reset. Top + bottom skinned only, wallpaper showing now in menu/Home Walpaper/Portrait Wallpaper but tried to select 10+ times and always just black screen with top and bottom skinned?

yeah thats the bug with 2.7SE ... they said if u keep selecting the wallpaper it would eventually appear .... the creator of max manila is still working on fixing that .... well you should just use 2.7 not 2.7 SE for now ... that way the "TouchFLO v2.5 BETA - No Compression - All Tabs" cab should work
