Comm manager? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

RARE question from me but im lost lol!
Is this a version of the HTC comm manager???
If so where the hell do i get it !?!?
Ive tried several cabs and used the on/off button style tweak in advanced config but still no joy hehe!

Think it's in all the Schaps 4.x ROM's - it's the CommManager from the Touch Duo - download link here.
You've probably still gotta **** around with the Advanced Config program, oh, and be careful if you try adding any more than the six buttons as it screws up royally
HTH,
Mark.
(Nice to see you back around the forums )

search for the on/off comm manager. I fuddled around with it but didn't have all the files - at least for the cab to work on my device.
Might be a fun project to build a working cab...

Here's one I put together from pieces of Juvs and Shamanix. Works fine on my device. Hope it was okay
Edit: And no advanced config required

If just change the layout in Advance Config 2.1's Comm Manager config, the Comm Manager appears broken (unless you just use the default layout). This is exactly what I'm looking for, and it is configurable in Advanced Config too. Thanks mattk_r

wow! superb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can anyone please upload to a mirroring server? At this time we have to wait for 108 minutes to download...
thanks mate, I'll give it a whirl!!!
Simplicity is best.
Quite simply this is the best rom so far I have ever used on my device...
Most up to date base ROM, but with Dutty's help, just the right balance between function and speed.
I LOVE the 3D style virtual keyboard design too - I have been after this for years for a QVGA device.
It makes the VGA style virtual keyboard of the Universal look week by comparison.
Thanks loads Dutty mate - well done and keep up the good work!
The ONLY things I don't like is that the default Today theme using the cool black look, uses a 2D none-gradiented black for the top and bottom menu bars, and worse, if you change the theme to default WM6 glassy gradiented blue, the bottom menu bar stays solid black anyway. And that the phone dialler pad is the default flat looking pink T-Mobile style, as opposed to one of the new shiny black ones. I can easily sort this second bit out though with a cab install - it might even fix the first thing too.
So cheers mate!
Other than this, an amazing ROM!
What's the TMO_UK_3.60.110.1_6275 rom?
I haven't come across it before. Any more details?

Cheers for that mate It was just a quick modification of the rom. didn't spend too much time on it but just put bits in what i like. I'm not what you called a chef but someone who is learning from the master chefs and helping himself.
this was a bit easier for me to customise as its the same carrier rom as my provider t-mobile.
cheers again.
thank you very much

I tried it
Ok it seems faster, but cant make out. i finally went back to satin lite, bec of looks.
the dialpad was so pathetic that i felt i was using wm02.
when u choose close all button in task manager, the system reboots bec it tries to close the desktop.

in regards of the dialpad as this is a t-mobile rom i tried to left most of the stuff un touched but you can try and install differnt dial pads.
In regards of the new task manager you have to go into options and add desktop, phone , contacts, to add to exclusive in x-button settings.

Just an observer here, but find myself wondering what purpose comments like this serve? I am just confused when I see people making comments that are just rude IMO when someone is offering a free service. Just confused as to why you wouldn't just add your own dial pad and looks to it and be done with it.
If this is as zippy as it sounds Ill give it a whirl right now. Thanks Dutty
windows live issues
Has anyone got connection issues with windows live has I just got a fix for now if anyone who is using this rom and got a connection issues.

Nice rom , first time i have flashed my vario2 and it all went fine. Not tried windows live yet but have found I have lost my video calling button in the dialer (tried allsorts but it won't appear) and i have never ever had the hsdpa icon come up only the 3g icon.

24 hr clock to 12 hr clock?
Hi! Great Work!
How do I change the clock from 24 hr to 12 hr with am/pm? I am using emunutz customizer but I see no option to change it nor is it in the clock settings. The clock on the title bar IS 12hr but the large clock is not.
thanks so much bro, i installed normally (not cooking) to my wizard with installing the suggested files, but also can't run, it seems to be very nice.

cool, now where would we get a black theme to make it look just like that we see in the htc rom? also does it work with a green theme? that one looked cool too.

tried other cities as well, no joy.

Great work.But still bug with Backlight button in Launcher Tab.

Anyone else have issues with this release and the Kaiser 10 button Comm manager? With the original 1.5 release, when a data connection was activated, the data connection in Comm manager wouldn't show activated (greyed out). I would have to touch it to activate the data connection( even though I was already connected) and then touch it again to deactivate. After installing the v2.0.720.719 the comm manager data connection magically started working. I just installed the 2.0.814.722 from this thread and it is back to operating like the original release. Is there any way to fix this so it shows a data connection is activated in comm manager when I am connected to Edge( 3g not in my area yet) so that I can just tap it to shut down?
Thanks. I hope I was explaining it well enough.

Old start menu, old programs tab with 4 icons plus 4 icon program launcher!!

All right guys for those who want to have the old start menu back and want the old programs tab with 4 icons plus the 4 icon programs launcher then intsall the attached cabs (black or white font) which does it all for you, including the registry tweak to enable the old start menu, so enjoy;-)
P.S. currently in landscape mode it doesn't work so well so will try to fix this and post updated cabs here!
Full credit goes to showaco for the hack and Aussiebum for WVGA conversion!Many thanks guys! look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487192
I've just put everything in one easy install cab including registry tweak, tested on Dutty's v2.6 xtreme rom but can't see why it should not work on other rhodium based rom's with the new start menu!
N.B. this tweak is only for Rhodium based cooked roms with new start menu, so may or may not work with other based roms!!
Update 10/04/09: Added 3 Icons programs tabs cabs for those who prefer the standard 3 icons row programs tab rather then the 4 icons version!
Update 18/04/09: Looks like sgilesuk has beaten me to it with a version for those who prefer to keep the new start menu but would like to have 4 icons all programs launcher look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505400 nice work sgilesuk thanks

If you mean just to have the icons with titles but without the tiles background for programs tab then the simple answer for the moment is NO sorry!!
Please bare with me as I've only just started looking into this hack and trust me it's not as simple as it looks! to do this hack one needs modify the actual value's and scripts within the manila files and that's very time consuming with a lot of trail and error!! so kudos goes to both showaco for the hack, it's his baby and aussiebum for the WVGA conversion!
I'm just trying get my head around this and do plan to do several other tweaks, lets see if I have ample time this easter weekend I'll try look into your request and see if it's possible!
Would love : only the 4 icons all program ...
I don't like the rest !
Hi,
I tried to fix this once before with showaco, but it didn't quite worked out. I'm surprised it's working for you, but my Touch HD seems to mess up the tiles...

thanks for share.I'm looking for it.
Hello, it is possible to disable the old start menu?
Which registry tweak is this?
Thank you!
I installed the black version. What a mess! All icons in three lines.... I don't know how many rows.

If you are refering to the 4 locked icons (Home, Contacts, Calendar, Settings) in the programs menu then they can be unlocked with some registry settings:
e.g.
For the HOME button:
Change the following value
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Program Launcher\0\IsReadOnly\1 <--(DWORD Data, Dec)
from 1 to 0 to unlock.
The same apply to the other 3 locked buttons after that do soft reset for the changes to take effect
OKAY!!!
Great news!!! i sticked with dutty v2.1 because of the ****ty start menu.
Will flash this weekend to v2.6 again with your cab.
is it a possibility to have the new dutty start menu and this new programs tab working at the same time?
Thank you. I am trying.
Hey gfreek, when I initially flashed dutty's 2.6, I downloaded these cabs from that ROMs thread.
After installing, I encountered a problem whereby once you had scrolled to the program's tab, the soft key settings specific to the programs tab would stick i.e. not change when you went to another tab so if you went to the home tab, the soft keys would remain on 'All programs' and the other one (which I now can't remember off hand). The only way to fix was to soft reset and the problem would simply reoccur if you clicked on the programs tab
I also couldn't uninstall these cabs and had to perform a hard reset.
If you could sort out these issues, I will gladly revert back to the old start menu with your method.

Please give me the old Notifications Manager feature back :(

Someone please help - I downloaded and installed Tarkim's Keyboard Remapping tool and it works great. I noticed, however, that it reverted my Notifications Manager feature back to the new TP2 way that you all seem to want and like. Before this install I'd found and installed Topaz's Notifications Manager that made the feature work like it did in my old TouchPro and T-Mo Wing before that, where you would click on a notification at the top of the screen and it opened each notification individually when tapped PLUS it gives you the old 5 Min/10 Min/15 Min/1 Hour/1 Day snooze options on alarms/reminders, instead of the new default 5 Min only snooze option offered w/ the Notifications Manager on the TP2. This may not be a problem for some but I happen to not like the new Notifications bar/window on the TP2 and downloaded the Topaz Notification Manager Cab to get the Notifications to work in the traditional way and it was working beautifully. BUT when I installed this Keyboard Configurator it put the old TP2 Notifications bar/window back but w/ some tweaks - When you tap the top of your screen in the Notifications area, the Notifications window opens BUT you are able to tap the Data bar inside and it opens the Comm Manager and the Battery bar opens the Power Manager. I think the SDKcerts has something to do w/ this but I really don't know??
I have tried uninstalling the Keyboard Remapping tool and the SDKcerts that it came w/ and the Topaz Notification Manager and reinstalling only Topaz and the old SDKcerts it came w/, but it still gives me the TP2 Not Manager screen w/ extra tweaks. I just want the old one back. Please, can anyone help me get it back???
Thanks so much,
Len
the Topaz Notification Manager is the new Notification Manager but adds the battery part since the TP2 NM takes out the battery guage.
It DOES NOT do what you want it to, so it must have been some other registry hack or app that you installed to get it the old way.
i hope this is what are you looking for:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=491676
A.
Xnifex, I think you're right. I did a hard reset back to fact settings and installed the following only and in this order:
1) Keyboard config (w/o SDKcerts pkg'ed w/ the program. (this made the program inoperable, by the way))
2) The original SDKcerts & Topaz Notifications Manager (that I thought gave me the old TouchPro Notification settings)
Result: Exactly what you said - TP2 Notifications bar/window but w/ enhancements to Battery and Comm Managers.
Gosh, guess I have to figure out which of the programs I installed that gave me the old way.
as_x1 - Not exactly what I was looking for but I sure appreciate your response and trying to help.
I appreciate you both and will repost once I figure out what gave it to me...I'm hopeful!
UPDATE: FOUND THE FIX...
OMG xnifex, I found the fix!!! And it was w/ the Topaz Notifications Manager...well, slightly. As I said before, I am a super novice, so with that said again, I just realized when I downloaded the Topaz Not. Mngr, it came w/ 2 files in the .Zip - the Topaz Not. Mngr Cab and a sdkcerts Cab. Since I didn't know what the "sdkcerts" was, and the instructions didn't tell me to install it, I only installed the Topaz Not. Mngr Cab file. Well low & behold - that alone gives you the old Touch Pro Not. Mngr options where you can touch on each one at the top of the screen individually and a bubble opens w/ their respective details and features. PLUS it gives you back the old Reminder & Alarm snooze interval options!
Needless to say, I'm very happy to have found this answer BUT I really want to have the ability to customize my hardware keys and keyboard. This means installing the Keyboard Configurator WITH the infamous SDKcerts Cab. What do I do? Is there anyway around this?? Can someone create an SDKcerts Cab that keeps these old Touch Pro Not. Mngr settings??? Or is it at all possible to install the Keyboard Config w/o the SDKcerts????
Well, there's my dilemma :-/ If you or anyone out there can help me, I sure would appreciate it!! I'll also send an email to Tarkim since he seems to know quite a bit about his Keyboard Config.
Thanks so much!!!

OCMan new Start menu Replacement(WVGA,VGA) _ Sense _ 5 columns....

Hello everybody, have finished my modification of kenia1234 sense startmenu replacement, using CHTeditor I have seen we can change programpages from 4 to 5 columns, wanted to do the same on kenia startmenu replacement...here is the result...
This is my first try in modding manila files, and I am quite happy to have understand the thing in half a day, hash file name is really a pain to work with...
But now I have what I wanted, a really usable start menu ( not too much long to scroll like list or 4 columns), included in the cab, shortcut to control panels item so you can disable the Windows mobile start menu to same a great 10mb of RAM, this hack to disabling completely the startmenu is from arto, I have attached the startmenu disabler for wm 6.5 and for wm 6.5.x, Install this to gain system memory...
Thanks to members Etoy & Abrasive We now have VGA versions as well !!!
VGA 4 rows
VGA 5 rows
Here is the link for original WVGA Kenia1234 version :
Original Kenia1234 Thread
Really nice!! I m glad to see that my work was useful for you...
thanks for the quote!
Anyway Good job!!
What would be great is the folder ability like the real startmenu, but thats definitely a hard work of coding...
My real goal to achieve, is to replace the recent program list from the bottom, and to replace it with shortcut for "recent program", "All programs","Control Panel".
This way we can have acces to parameters without loosing the ability of recentprogramlist. but I really don't know enought by now on lua script etc to program the whole thing, we have the layout, we need a good dev to make the whole thing, but I think it's a bit difficult to do as it need the script to understand how to lauch cpl files...
my real dream is a lightweight startmenu replacement like "Panoramic Launcher"...
This looks great - I never knew (or noticed) that the Start Menu was so heavyweight on memory. I might give this a go over the weekend. Nice work!
ocman, this is a very nice tweak to get more ram. I tried Panoramic Launcher, but believe it or not, found it to be a bit buggy. Sometimes it launched and sometimes the start menu launched. I want something which I can get used to. I am trying your program and like it very much. The only thing I would change is to give the settings menu items the same icon as before. I think I can research this one as I know you can add icons to shortcuts.
It does seem to save some ram too.
Well done and thanks!!!
How to put back the start menu?
Hi,
is it possible to creat folder in this start menu (i think yeah but need be sure )
Bye bye (et merci!!)
Hmmm, pitty did not work for me.....did not get te square with start icons. Instead icons where similar oriented as current start menu and logo's where gone.
great job.i ve been looking for a start menu disabler and a replacement for a year.
GREAT JOB,piece of ART !
Not work too at wm 6.5.x.
I installed the cab to replace and the cab to remove start menu, but when i soft reset my device the windows flag has disappeared and i get no more startmenu. Neither new or old
yeah in 6.5.x lost but I gained like 30mb wow
I see were this would really help with CHT or any other version thinking about installing it to see how it works on overlay sitting idle right now with NRGz 8-6 I have 96mb free! That is a good hack either way maybe needs to be cooked into roms and have a shortcut to the windows/startmenu for access to startmenu. Either way nice job.
****you lose your settings menu access as well because I was going to map my windows button to the windows/startup/program files*****
hahaha nice appbutyou forgot something theme settings !
dude wonderful app , but you forgot a shortcut to change the theme and the theme wallpaper ! in WM6.5 and 6.5.3 it has a special path ,not like 6.1 ,you might need to tweak it a little bit ! ! ! !
but its a great RAM saver and super practical ! great job
@ocman,
thanks for sharing..!
Works perfect for me...!

this works with all devices? and which files should I download and install?
Wow this really makes such a big difference, even on my HD2. This seems to have saved me about 20mb on my memory and has sped up my entire phone quite a lot.
The only problem is I'm using arkswitch and that covers up the start menu button and the start menu hardware button doesn't seem to work so at the moment I've got no way of getting to the start menu. Is it possible to make the hardware button work again?
Overall though it's a big improvement and it has definately made a speed difference and personally I think that this looks better than the default start menu anyway.
I hated the start menu layout and always wished for a CHTEditor grid type layout. Can't wait to try it out!
EDIT: Tried it out and love it. On my HD2, pressing the hard Start button seems to confuse it for a few seconds and then nothing. The soft Start button works fine and the app is VERY good in general. Like others have said, it would be perfect for me if the hard button worked or could be mapped, the scrolling speed was increased and folder creation.
Excellent job!
Can you do a 4 column version also?
Plus 1 for folder creation for this menu.
I contacted Cookie once and he said Cookie Manila Start Menu would be on his next release. Seems like you beat him to it
OIY OP FUK YOU.....
but in all seriousness, I offered a bounty both here at XDA and over at PPCG for a CHT or classic WM6.1 StartMenu/Programs for $20...
Keep up the good work, make it (talk to CHT/CHTE) compatible and customizable with CHT/CHTE to be merged into or if you want to keep it alone make it an add-on still for CHT/CHTE (so we can change the columns/row amount/setup)
$20 for the finalized version with customization possibilities (it can do folders?), make that bottom row optional and customizable, Recent Programs or Folders or like Win7 even with the "Pin to StartMenu"
Either way, when done and I can use it reliably $20 is yours (paypal?!)
hi i installed this program and it does saved 10 M ram! thanks a lot!
however i have a few problems. in sense 2.5, the calendar and setting tabs dissappeared.
i also try to map this program to a hardware key, but can't seem to find the shortcut to the app. can you tell me where to find it?
thanks for helping!!!
