I've been insired by the Dialer Skins found on BuzzDev.net (just wish they'd hurry up and send me the e-mail to complete the join process so I can get the other skins)...
I'm working on a way to change the skins without having to mess with 100 registry keys each time.
If there is interest, I'll post the app and some sample skins here.
Biggest problem right now is that to apply the skin you must soft reset your phone. If anyone knows a way around this, let me know. Also anyone who has addition dialer settings that can be manipulated via registry send them to me for addition into the App.
Bob
Bob, I'm down with beta testing if you need someone.
Sounds great. I have a PPC6700 with WM5 and right now it's a huge pain to switch dialer skins. A soft reset is a MINOR inconvenience.
Skins
Can some please tell me how I install this Skin I downloaded from BUZZ.net to my Blue Angel.
Thankyou
Rob

You need to change the file code from .JPG into .TSK first though. I had to do this to be able to upload as the website dont like .tsk files.
Thankyou

I was wonder if theres a way that I can get a hold of individual apps. I wanna run a lite rom and just add what Id like. Ive been trying to figure out how to cook roms. If it would be easier to just cook my own. I would appreciate any help there. Thanks alot
look in the wiki for hermes under cab files and you will find most of the programs and tweaks and extras.
Did you bother to search either this site or google?
Distefano's Cab Thread !!!
I did a basic search for cab files on both. I found a lot of stuff I already had.
Try post 2 of this thread.

Hello,
just got my tp2 and had before a kaiser. I tryed a serval of rom's with and without that manila plugin and at least i stayed with the regular todayscreen cause it was easy for me to add stuff to the today scree like a messenger so i can see how many people are onine and whatever....
now i wana try to stay with that manila screen, but i'm realy pissed by the today screen, cause i don't know how to add more then just the clock, schedule and missing calls ... quite boring...
so please, can somebody tell me if its posible to add more? i was already looking around, but i coudn't find anything. maybe somebody is having a link for me?
thank you!

Eyh m8, I did not make this thread, but I looked for manilla Today. Can't find it. There was something like manilla startmenu, to get the old menu back, but that isn't what he is asking for.
I agree with you people should search and read the stickies before posting, but can't find it myself either now.
Can you please provide a link? THanks!
Did find something with the search funtion, but don't think it does what Tabsco is asking for?
i also just found the sticky to change back to the regular screen, but i wanna try to keep on using the hole manila thing, i just want to add more things (todo-list, messanger, etc.) to the manila today screen.
Here you go. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508102\
It will replace one of your TF3D tabs and use that like a normal Today screen in WM. Some people like the convenience of having SPB Mobile Shell run on that pane and others like to use it with Pocketbreeze for quick glance information. I'm hoping that we get a port of Sense UI to the TP2 soon.
ok, thanks! i'll check that link soon ... but out of ur mesaage it seems so that it not yet posible to to make manila screen more comfortable (didn't took real look to the link yet)
i'll just check ur suggestion on monday. i hopefully find something with a better look then the regular wm todayscreen.
[GUIDE][TUT] Manila Development for Beginners - ManilaFiles & Tut3 (30Sep) in NewWiki
I am writing a guide/tutorials on how to develop and modify manila, since I've found it very hard to find information on it. I welcome any help, comments on these tutorials and also any information people may have on manila.
I've chosen to write them in the wiki, so it is open for anyone to edit so hopefully if I get something wrong it can be corrected. Let me know if you are interested in adding to these tutorials (or just add them), I've got a few more planned, just catching up with my progress so far.

I've started to put the info back into this section of the wiki, I've used Ecolgue's About Manila wiki page (recovered from google cache) since my own sections were unrecoverable.
Contributions of knowledge welcome, since this is a big topic and there are lots of things I don't know yet.

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)
+ for beeing too noob for this thread
+ for asking things in the wrong place if it is the case
And again thank you very much for this wonderful TUT

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?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hi Guys,
I often use default wm Notes program in my htc.
Recently i thought about creating a simple and pretty program with htc manila style, instead of boring wm notes.
Personally, I can't create such a program, because I don't know the programming language
However, I made several assumptions that I should comply..
*very simple -just basic funkcions: add, view, edit and delete notes
*Fast loading during startup (in my opinion the most important)
see attachment
So if someone can create that app or something like that it will be great
P.S.
I made some graphics which can be useful and
if anyone would be interested in the "project" I can send psd file
write any ideas and attentions ..whatever you want
If you use CHT2.0 theres a "Notes" widget made by poyensa.
Have a scan over the HD2 themes and apps and you should find it.
Hope that helps......

thanks for the reply, I used the CHT but now I went back to the standard TFD3 with several mods...
However, the poyensa's program is preety but I mean something different
(I forgot to add attachment before, I fixed it now)
I mean something like qtask or Sense Tasks..
Ahh right ok...
Not sure what to suggest in that case, sorry
