I was wondering if there is a project started (or willing to start) to create a section on the FTP for Customization. There are times that I want MMS/GPRS settings (or just the splash screen) for a carrier but don't want the whole EXTROM, and of course I don't want to go through and download the whole extROM for one or two files (if I can properly identify them of course).
I thought it might be a great idea to create a section with MMS, GPRS, splashscreens, themes settings for carriers that sells/resell HTC products, and if no CABs already exist, maybe we could make some
What d'ya say?
You need to have a better look at wiki and the kitchen.
The cooked ext roms have a erk_14x_### page were you can read what files came with what rom.
The ftp site has a dir with that erk and the extraxted files extracted.
Some times you can find the splash screens in bmp and jpg.
Now due to lack off help not all roms have been updated as the task just got boring to do alone and the guy doing it spends to much time failing MCSE tests.
Hope it helps and have fun.
Thanks
I started on the project yesterday with some Greek customization CABs...the work continues I will also look at the kitchen. I downloaded it, it runs on my machine, but before I cook it tells me that its busy - one problem at a time though
All this and more....on my site
category filtering isnt quite done yet, almost, but you can find all customisation cabs and all other cabs ever extracted from roms/ extended roms
I did the himalaya ones by hand, every single ****in last one of em
just try it (look in signature)
Well I am inpressed...
I had a look at the BA cabs on my pda.
If I am allowed to make a suggestion then.
1 Could you put the select button infront of the item and add a borded around it. (on pda i get lost on what i have selected.
2 can you move language up the list after device ?
3 any chance of a info screen (for the ba cooked roms you can cut this info out of wiki)
Like i said it just a sufgestion, i know how much work it is.
1: done
2: ill think about it
3: there already is...but it needs editing a lot (click the magnifying glass)
remember, I do this all myself, for all cabs, for all devices....takes loads of time
well i dont get as lost, thanks.
Saw the comments, cant see how I am to add any.
Im still writing that
:shock: nice !!! :shock:
hello to all
I installed Orange Homescreen on my WM5 blue-angel.
It it by far the cleanest plug-in I've ever used! Two problems though:
1. The URLs seem to be hard coded - anyway of changing that?
2. On the contacts "tab" there is an option for speed dial, but it generates an error when I try to use it - is there some other CAB I need to install?
Thank you!
Hi AdmiralAK,
I love the Orange today plugin too, but have had a lot of trouble installing it on the other Rom's for my Universal. Can you tell which files you used to install it :?:
As for the problems your having:
1. The URL's can be changed by editing the Full_one.xml file.
But your still limited to four.
2. In the Orange Rom, some of the files have a lower case t prefix.
Try changing renaming your speed dial executable. It might work :wink:
Thanks!
I downloaded the homescreen cab from somewhere on this board (this was a few days ago so I am not completely sure). I found two versions. One was in the ftp://xda-developers.com/Universal/Extended_ROMs/Orange Extended ROM/
(this one I did not install because I had the otherone already installed)
(ok after a little looking I found it)
I am actually using the Orange Homescreen from the Orange SPV M3100 (hermes device) - this is the one that is installed on my Blue angel and it works without a problem. --> I am attaching it.
(I apologize to the forum for postnig the same file again - I cannot find the link to it)
----
As for the speed dialer - I don't think I have the application installed on my blue angel (I am using the 1.3beta rom from HELMI and I don't seem to be able to find it) in my device - any idea where to get it?
Also, is the XML file that I need to edit in the windows/ directory?
Thanks
google tells me that the full_one.xml file is in my windows directory...but I dont see it :-/
The CAB from the Orange Ext ROM is just the reg settings, its no good without the files from the Orange ROM.
I'll try the file you posted this weekend [if I get the chance] :?
Yes, the XML file is in the Windows folder.
It works inconjuction with the HomeScreen.dll, with some icons stored in contactsico.dll.
I've added these files and the prefixed t files from the Windows folder of my Universal, I hope they're useful.
Have you tried the file ?
Hmm.. performing back up now.. and going to try it out. Hope it is easy to uninstall.
[UPDATE]
Ok, tested out the plugin. It is a nice plugin. Make your phone more like a phone than a PDA. It gives you one hand operation by using the direction buttons, making calls and stuff. However, since it will disable all other plugins, I won't recommend others whom uses Today calendar plugins such as Pocket Breeze, TodayAgenda, TodayPlus, etc.. to use this orange plugin. Uninstall is easy.
Screen shot of it here http://www.coolsmartphone.com/article569.html
under the section `INSIDE`. It is the same for smart phone and pda phone. You will see all the options available. And the 'Today' option actually sends you to the (built in) Calendar day view.
Hi, have you used the cab file and zip file above ?
Ok, I tried the plugin posted here by AdmiralAK, on my Universal.
First thing I noticed was it actually ran on the O2 ROM.
Second thing was how small the icons are compared to the plguin built into the Orange Universal ROM.
But I guess that makes sence as the screens are very different sizes. More importantly must of the plugin works fine.
I'm sure a little editing would probably have it all working.
What I did notice is its totally different to the Universal plugin, none of the files i've edited to get the universal version working the way I want it to, exist in this version. Hence the Full_one.xml, t* and .bmh files are not in the Windows folder.
I've gone back to the Orange ROM, as I have it running the way I want and the bigger icons are easier to use on the Universal. But i'll be keeping this version as I may get a TyTn next year.
Cool program. But too bad, limited customizable.
Hi people,
Great software, I was looking to try this on my MDA Vario. Too bad of it's limitations. Good to try out and see how it works.
Though I was thinking of visually designing a kind of similar application and find some great developers on this site to help me create it. Of course if anyone is interested in this kind of functionality.
Anyone already interested? let me know. i hope to have some draft ideas on here in the form of screenshots as soon as possible. but now it's diner time see ya.
Cheers,
Shah.
I have tried editing the 'full_one.xml' file, then soft reset....however it hasn't changed anything...
did i miss something?
Hi guy,
I've tried to resize the icon of plug-in and it's ok in portrait but no in landscape, I think it's a registry problem for landscape.
I'd like to use the plug-in on no orange rom.
I'll find the way to get more than 4 custom option but i get without icon.
The file full_one.xml is linked with other file of the orange rom so I think that's one problem.
@Shah2,
I'd be interested in a plugin like this, that has a few more options [see below] and works on all ROM's.
I have no programing skills or abilities, but i'd help out where I can. :wink:
@minty1978,
The Full_one.xml file only lets you edit the Labels and the URL's in the plugin.
@filippodisvevia,
I'd like to use the plug-in on a none Orange ROM too.
Then I wouldn't have to kepp hiding my Universal from the IT guys at work. :lol:
The 3 things I'd like to change on the plugin are:
1. Have more than 5 URL's in the Web section.
2. Have more than 4 programs in the Launch section.
3. Have all seven sections appear on the screen [at least in portrate mode][/i]
I'm a littlebit busy but I want resolve this match.
Stay tuned
Concept Orange Homescreen Pimped Beta 0.1
Hi people,
I told ya that I was interested in making the Orange Homescreen even better than it is at the moment.
THESE ARE PURELY PHOTOSHOP MOCKUPS!
Image number 1 shows the use of today plugin as we know them. It's just to give an example. All the other screens speak for themselves.
If anyone has his/her own ideas please share them in this thread. I would also like to draw the attention of developers who might be interested in creating this for real, and not just some photoshop images, please let me know.
Cheers,
Shah
Hi Shah,
Thats way more complex, than I was looking for. :shock:
But, If this was to be built as a new plugin, hopefully it could be scalable, using a .ini or .xml file. Like the real Orange plugin does. 8)
The only I don't really like, is the other plugins showing as in pic.1.
I have other plugins switched on while i'm at work, and the Orange one at night. I find the empty desktop more relaxing. :wink:

Hi ZaForD
The complexity is actually quite limited. Because if you use the plugin most of the options are the same. Most of the items are just additions to the rest of the plugin.
And for the pic 1. I can image it's not that nice. But with input we can work on making it more general so that people will like it.
Personally I would like to have the standaard Today screen plugins visible because they are still usefull.
It's also a possibility that all the items are configerable to meet users needs. For example standaard options like the original homescreen for users that want the basic functionalities, and advanced options for users who want more options. so that every page is user configerable.
Anything is possible in Photoshop haha. but seriously if there are any developers who are interested please leave a note.
Cheers,
Shah
I stopped using the plugin - no matter how much I liked it - because it did not show me tasks tat need to be done.
I would be interested in something more complex than it is now (at least show me my tasks) but maybe not as complex as the mockups. scalability would be cool
What do you think he is trying to do?

Any updates on this?
I have a Prophet and tested the plugin, however there are some things that I can't edit (cause I don't have an Orange ROM)...
For those who are having trouble with the OneNote Mobile that originally appeared in tripledes' 3.5 ROM and has been cooked into some other ROMs since, here's the deal. The two registry entries shown in red below were coded incorrectly in the original RGU such that "InstallPath" and "Attachments" were being created as subkeys instead of key values. The key shown in blue may be missing as well, but it's absence doesn't seem to prevent the app itself from working.
So the 1014 build of OneNote seems to work fine provided it has the proper reg entries. The one exception being the last remaining note isn't removed from the list when you delete it (an issue that was also present in build 1010).
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile]
"Version"="12.0.4518.1014"
[COLOR="Red"][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile\12.0]
"InstallPath"="\Windows"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\OneNote Mobile\12.0]
"Attachments"=""[/COLOR]
[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Windows CE Services\Synchronization\Objects\OneNote Note]
"Display Name"="OneNote Note"
"Store"="\Windows\OneNoteSyncDevice.dll"[/COLOR]
Cool, just tried it on CUSTEL 2.5, it works!
Thanks alot!
Using Custel2.5, how do I make these changes? Is this answered in the wiki?
OK. Nobody flamed me at least. What I meant to ask was, is there a registry editor included in this rom already or do I need to install one such as Total Commander on the 8525? Is TC compatable with the new WM6 roms with new builds, kernels, etc.? It seems like it's an old program to me. Sorry if these are noob questions but, yes, I am a noob and I will probably never be more than that. At least not at the present time in my life. Don't need to be spoon fed but a little advice doesn't seem like alot to ask. If I had the passion and time I could learn anything on my own, I have a very functioning brain. However, my time at the moment is mostly spent working 60+ hours a week, and rebuilding my home after Katrina the rest of the time. This is a hobby, my diversion. I do read the threads and the wiki but at the moment I also need to rely on you guys that are the pros. But, if you need to know anything about rebuilding a house after a major disaster, just ask. That's something I have become well versed in.
10 out of 10 to you vp3G Nicely done! I suspected it was registry related.
I believe the blue entry is needed if you want to sync OneNote with your PC.
@ezmike: For now, you need to use a registry editor. CUSTEL 2.5 has one built in (Taskman Regedit).
@Sleuth255: Yeah, that's what I think. I don't have Office 2007 anywhere but my Hermes, so I don't know for sure. I boosted that key from the desktop cab used to install 1010.

Anyway since your so damn good with office any chance you could make a cab that would auto install 2k7 over the regular office? I'll post shadow's office fix cab which has the reg entrys you need and DES posted the office files we need also.... you would be the man if you did that!

Yeah, I stumbled on the problem whilst cooking my own ROM last night. The cab you posted on the CUSTEL thread that installs the 1010 build is what tipped me off...

I don't think it's terribly likely given how Office Mobile is wired into the rest of the ROM. It's roughly akin to Internet Explorer on a desktop, IMO. I may give it a whirl if I feel really ambitious, though.
Thanks vp3G and austinsnyc. Much appreciation for pointing me in the right directions and for posting the cabs, etc. I really am trying to learn as much as possible, and guys like you are helping more than you will ever know. Thanks again.
This fix???
Ok, I'm sorry I must be dumb... I can't figure this out. I have tried the reg settings, I have installed the onenote files over and over and I still cannot delete any onenote files nor can I take a picture and insert it. It will also not sync with my desktop. I hope I don't get flamed, I have read all the post and most of wiki and still can't fix, can you please help.

Here are the correct entries in .CAB format... Kudos to vp3g!

Also, loves your HTCustom, nicely done!
so what is the correct registry edit to place in the registry for it to work? red is incorrect, and blue is missing. so I add the blue and what about the red?

Hey Ezmike.
FYI, TC works perfectly fine in WM6 (I'm currently on LVSW's build). I use it, not because it's the easiest or fanciest, but I'm a big fan of Christian Ghisler's and have been using TC on my desktop since about the time of Julius Caesar or so. Good luck with your home man!!!
This is the last of piece of crap to lay here before I move on. I'll be putting the blackjack on the auction block.
This mortscript gets data from the registry and then writes to the owner/notes plugin for the homescreen. I also included a sliding panels xml with the notes plugin in it. You can copy the notes plugin part into any home.xml your using. If you put it in a sliding panel xml, then it has to replace the iconbar, no other option for placement.
I also included a place for custom text to be entered(last pic). To edit, open the customNotes.mscr in Notepad and where you see "Enter Custom Text Here", replace what you want inside the quotes. Save it and restart the customNotes.mscr(reboot).
This Needs Mortscript installed to work, I recommend version 4.11b7.
To Install:
1) Unzip and copy the home.xml file into \application data\home folder. The .mscr and .exe file can be placed anywhere in main memory. After placing, click on the mscr file to start up the loop.
2) Create a shortcut to the exe into \windows\startup\
3) Go to Settings\Display\Homescreen and choose the customNotes xml.
To Uninstall:
1) Delete shortcut in \windows\startup\
2) Choose a new layout xml in settings
3) Delete all three files
Note: I added a alternate battery percentage mscr below. If you don't get battery percentage to show, then download it, unzip, and copy over the original customNotes.mscr.
crap knew this day would come
Hey, Showaco. I dread when these days come even though you more or less had an Excalibur in our minds. Please stay in contact. Also, PM the newest headset you are moving on too. Thank you for all your dedication & time spent fiddling with your mobile. It has let hundreds of people like myself make the most of there phones. I love modding and personalizing my mobile due to the fact of people like yourself. Being part of an underground modding community is something special. Wherever the road takes you no matter how frustrated you get with noobs, people are grateful. Others are due credit as well. I could name names....but you already should know who you are.
Thanks
Pfunk
It's funny... Showaco is leaving.. and I'm coming back to the Excalibur.
p.s. Although I might be following him on the touch diamond path soon... hehe
Missed by the community you will be.
I can't speak for all on the forum but i'm sure we all share the same opinion that you shall me missed, you have brought many mods and tweaks to the device we all love the Dash, even though you was an imposter My device would not be as loved as it is now without all the help and support you have provided over the last couple of months. Hope that this is just a break from the Dash forum and that you will still have your input in the tech we have all got so used to.
Good luck with the future i imagine you will be off to the kaiser forum

Help Needed
I have a few questions which I can't find answers for:
Q1: How do I upload pictures to the wiki, attachments just appear as links. Where is the upload point?
Using PhotoBucket for now, but is there some way to upload them directly to the xda wiki?
Q2: Manila related question, anyone know how the xxxxx_manila files are numbered? Doing the mods I will be creating manila files, so I was wondering if there was some reason in the numbers or can I use any file number which isn't in use? Ideally you'd want to avoid using other file names used by other tabs & plugins even if they aren't currently installed.
EDIT: The names are a HASH of the internal reference name, the ManilaHASH Tool allows the names to be generated (see attached).
Thanks.
I hope these links will help you;

Thank you so much. I shall do some reading! Added them to the links at the top too.
Currently working on tutorial number 3, I've also got number 4 planned (when I get time).
TUT Manila Tutorial 3 - Modifying Existing Tabs (Custom Call History Tab)
This tutorial will dig deeper into the existing manila files and hopefully demonstrate how to edit and change the basic functionality of manila tabs.
For this tutorial, we will attempt to change the behaviour of pre-built Call History Tab created by utopykzebulon.
Thanks to utopykzebulon for permission to use the Call History Addon.
I've attached the files used for this tutorial since utopykzebulon may decide to update the tab later on (taken from 2nd post of his thread 15 March 2010).
Many thanks,
Very Good "Tutorials", I will look forward esp "To Do Items" .

I'm glad someone likes em, I've tried to keep the level of them fairly high otherwise the useful information gets lost in the "Click Button A" here and select this menu here... I hope that it makes sense, the aim is to focus on the manila stuff rather than the toolset (which have manuals/threads and will also change over time).
Big question, do they make any sense?
Out of interest, which of the To Do Items in particular?

wow seems quite perfect for a tutorial!!! thank you!!!
but i have one noob question:
do you think that there's a way to obtain a cab for that in the end of all the procedures here, i mean i have already managed to make a couple of cabs (for example, i've already made some 2.5 sliders) but by that i mean i have always included simple files in them and nothing else, like key entries or values.. so i'd like to know if it is possible, because if it is, i'll start to work on that immediately.
I'm asking because i'm using the official sense 2.5 for rhodium ROM and i'd like to ad the e-reader + the documents tab in it
Plus, about the call history, do you know if there's a way to replace the telephone softkey on the home tab with call history, instead of adding an extra tab for it, because the actual button says telephone and, uhh the hardware call button does the exact same job...
AND ALSO, I APOLOGIZE for my bad english if it is (first language is french)

1. Cab's (for the tutorials?) yes it is possible, but they take time to do, plus the extra issue is each Tab Control file (i.e. 26948339_manila) will be different for each combination of tabs you have.
2. It is easy to add reg entries to cabs, although depends what you use to create them. Not done it myself but usually app.reg (text file) with the following sort of thing:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Facebook.LaunchAppSel"=dword:1
"Facebook.LaunchAppName0"="MS Facebook App"
Can't offer more info on cabs, since I've not made any yet.
3. Softkey, that should be defined in the registry somewhere, depends on your version of home page, cookie/manilaMax etc. Don't know it off hand, but definitely on the forums.
Manila 2.0?
Does it work for Manila 2.0?

Do you mean the docs tab?
Simple answer is I don't know without trying it (but I don't have 2.0). I would expect that it could use 2.5 specific stuff, if you are careful to take backups you can probably try. Unfortunately I'm only learning about manila 2.5 since that is what I'm using, I don't know how they will differ. The principles are similar but it won't be exactly the same.

Manila 2.5 is TouchFlo 3D while 2.0 is 2D. I searched my phone and couldn't find any of the XML files mentioned in the tutorial. I really want to customize my Manila. Please help.

If it is that different then unfortunately I can't help. I'm only learning how to do manila 2.5 since I have it on my phone and I can experiment with it (the tutorials are written from my own trial and error (mainly error!)). Hopefully somewhere manila 2.0 has been explained, try looking for some threads about cooking ROMs using manila 2.0.
thanks for your post and tuto
do you think it's possible to add a tab and activate a plugin from homescreen like pocket breeze or else?
i've tried a lot of program and all have some errors..i think by this way it's better..
Thanks !

Don't know pocket breeze, so might not understand what you mean.
There is a today plugin tab somewhere. But unfortunately, I'm fairly sure you can't just make an app to appear inside a tab.
