hi. im runnin the latest rom by kavana and im very pleased with it but i have a couple questions.
1)how do i set the my pictures panel to read the pictures stored in my memory card
2)how do i add the my faves (if this panel is for the most used apps) or how do i add my own custom panel with the apps i used the most.
i've been looking around the registry and all i found was a few registries related to all the plug ins but none of them related to the folder where the panel reads the photos from.
HKLM/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/CHOME/
There are all the plug ins a few of them whith a key nemd disable like myfaves, cwindowslive and ctestplugin and i was wondering if i remove this key will they be active? well i let the experts show me the rigth way to show my pics from my storage card and to visualiize a new panel with the recent used apps.
thanks in advance

The new version of HTC camera store pictures in \Storage Card\DCIM,but we can't use the new version of HTC camera cause it's for 200Mpx camera.
Maybe next time I'll hack the chome.dll,to make it support \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures,maybe i'll success...
So basically we have to hack the .dll to support the location that our camera store the photos when using Storage Card for the location, or move the photos once they are taken into one of the above folders.
2. We are all coming to grips with the new Sliding Panel XML schema, and how to manipulate it. try a few things and post back your results!
please post results im tryna find out the same thing about the my faves and most used programs yo

Download CHome Configurator by tlogix. It'll allow you to edit the 'Getting Started' (Welcome Center) panels. You can edit each panel to display the text and icons you want it to. You can also get them to go to the correct program of your choice upon clicking the center button. Each panel is broken up into 'pages'. Each page is a separate panel. (ALL OF THIS CAN ALSO BE DONE IN THE REGISTRY EDITOR)
ACTIONURL: This will take you to whatever program you want the panel to open. You must enter the correct target file address. (ex. \windows\start menu\java.lnk)
Soft Key 2 Text: Displays the wording you'd like the right softkey to show. (ex. View All)
Soft Key 2 URL: Works the same as the ACTIONURL, but is activated by clicking the right softkey instead of the panel itself. Re-enter the same address you entered in the ACTIONURL.
PICTURES: This is the large icon that's displayed in the panel. It'll need you to put in an address for the target icon. (ex. \windows\icons\camera.png)
The rest of the options should be self-explanatory. If you have any questions, just post them or PM. Hopefully I or someone else can help!
REMEMBER: These steps must be done for EACH 'page' (panel).

Thanks, man. You guys help me when I have questions, so I just do the same when I can!
The other thread was getting a little large, plus we have a new version out.
Here's Chome Weather 2.0 with a 10 day forecast. Download the cab and enjoy, more detailed instructions to follow.
1) Install the cab in the link at the bottom of the post.
2) It should ask to reboot ! Press "Ok"
3) Go to your Start Menu and find "Weather Options", or go down to the Settings slide on your homescreen and the second slide will be the CHome Weather options slide.
Set your Zip / Location Code to your zip code if you're in the US or a "location code" if you're anywhere else (ex: ROXX003 for Bucharest). More info on finding your specific code is here http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#req . Set the "Fahrenheit / Celsius" option to either "F" or "C" (without the quotes!). This will only affect the reading of the current conditions panels, not the text descriptions in the forecast panels. Those will always be in Fahrenheit.
Specify how often you would like to autoupdate the weather information, in minutes in option #3. It's set to 60 by default and I would not recommend seting it any lower, as that's how often Yahoo updates the information on their servers anyway.
Specify whether you would like the application to attempt to connect your default GPRS connection first, before updating. If you have a constant data connection on, leave this on "N". Finally you can turn off the autoupdate feature with the last option #7.
4) Now it might be a good idea to go to Start and find "Update Weather" and run it to update the weather data! Alternatively you can click the center button while you're on any of the forecast panels.
5) The cab should set your Home Screen to "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" automatically. If your top icons disappear then you might have to use the regular "Sliding Panel + Weather!" theme.
6) Enjoy and report any bugs you might encounter, please.
New features:
- Regular sized icons for the forecast panels, they do not affect other "welcomecenter" based panels.
- Revised layouts to ensure correct wrapping
- HomeScreen update feature. No need to reboot to see forecast or layout changes. This option is turned off by default because it doesn't work for everybody. If you turn it on and you see problems with your phone's radio turning off, phone becoming very slow etc... turn it off. (it's option #10)
- Added new panel to the Settings panel at the bottom for easy access to the weather updates and settings.
- "Spil icons" are default for forecast and regular panels.
Screenshot descriptions:
1- IPhone Layout (this is the default layout)
2- Forecast Panels screenshot
3- Slim Panels Layout with the background options enabled
4- HTC Slim Layout while updating
5- HTC Slim Layout in normal mode
6- The HomeScreen with the weather plugin in its "condensed" state at the bottom, showing current conditions
7- Regular Panel Layouy with no background.
8- IPhone Slim Layout
Download link > http://www.sendspace.com/file/0f8g23
Vox Version > http://www.sendspace.com/file/rxa13k
Look at post #3 to complete the installation for Vox phones. (or any other phones that will not install the regular version)
Current Version: 2.0.3
Changes to 2.0.3:
- completely redesigned Options panel. Hopefully things will be easier to get around. Now it tell you what the current layout used is.
- Fixed HTC Layout (5) text not wrapping down issue.
- Added option NOT to check for internet connection before connecting.
- Options panel keeps track of what layout you're running.
- added blue, purple, WM7 style or original glass panel selection to options panel.
- updated portrait CPRs.
- forecast panels should now display "N/A" icons when a forecast is not available instead of a red x.
- ability to choose between european("rest of the world pretty much...) or american style dates on the forecast panels.

This is the "addons" post.
Added "NRG Power Key..... .cab This will add three options to the menu that comes up when you hit the power key on the side of your Excalibur. "Power off", "Reboot" and "Weather Update". I hope they're self explanatory Have fun.
Download the Calibri font mod if you want your system font to look like the one in the screenshots.
The Yahoo, Spil, Novaweather and 7Degree icon sets are alternative icons sets for your Forecast and Regular and Slim Panel layouts
Also using this post to keep a list of TO DO's since I always forget:
- Better autoupdate logic. *DONE*
(got rid of "weathertimer.mscr" and using the phone's notification queue... will beta test this over the next couple of days)
- Checking whether on a call, when going to update the weather info. If on a call, exit and run 10 minutes after... and so on... *DONE*
- Make option menu that lets the user chose how many pages of forecast info they can see.
- Move PNGs to storage card. Create two separate cab's for installation. Maine program and Icon packs
- Add second or third panel with more "current weather information" details. *IN PROGRESS*
Files needs to complete the VOX installation are attached. Install the Vox cab above, then unzip Vox Windows.zip and drop all the files in it in the \windows directory on your device. Install weathertimer.mscr in \windows\startup.

Amazing........
Hi Org,
It looks and works great, even my distorted icons are back to normal, a biggggg thanks for all your efforts and your patience with all of us demanding more stuff..........
Whoa...okay. Just disregard this whole post guys. Let this be a lesson to you--work with your program for at least 15-20 minutes before reporting bugs. I feel ridiculous for not dabbling with this before crying wolf! My bad, Org!

You can edit the size of the icons in the .cpr files. Look in program files\NRG\chomeweather\cprs and edit the cpr that you are using(they're all in there). Doesn't make sense that clinks is oversized and weather is smaller, if that is case, can you upload copy of your current cpr that you are using(in windows\home.cpr.xml I think)? I would like to see something before you edit it. And after you edit, goto weather options and rechoose your layout to activate new cpr.
yea... umm.... not sayin its a bad thing, but my color icon bar at the top went back to black and white, and it wont show saturday and sunday, then skips from tuesday to saturday of next week... maybe i did something wrong?? but i could see the setup option text either... all in all i like it
turned the autoupdate off... maybe im just havin problems with it... im usin ricky's 23rd rom. im about ready to take this weather off cause i like the whole forcast thing, but not when it jumps from tuesday to saturday...
1) the last day is still on the second tab on the panel.
2) the text is still cutoff

Before reflashing, try to install the weather .cab again. I had this problem with an older version and I just downloaded another over it--and SOMEHOW it uninstalled the whole thing! Try other methods before reflashing. It can be a headache to get your settings the way you like them again.
so let me get this straight.. just run the cab file again? and everything should go peachy?
Touch X Xtended StartMenu -add shortcuts to startmenu, now 50 shortcuts, original is 30. (you must add the name and shortcut in regestry to get the last 20 to work, im working on a program for that) View attachment 202860
For example
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\30]
"DispName"="Total commander"
"IconPath"=""
"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000000
"Path"="\program files\tcmd\totalcommander.LNK"
Cheers mate. Greatly appreciated

v2.7 and 2.9 Functions
BEFORE USING v2.8, PLS SET ENSURE THE REGISTRY HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\EnableLandscape = true
v2.7 - only for manila 1921xxx
v2.9 - only for manila 19222xxx (Landscape version)
There is a minor change to the previous versions (v2.6 and below). You can now access the Setting screen by swiping top to bottom. Horizontal swiping is removed and goes back to default where you can access other tabs with the exception when you select Panoramic wallpaper which will pan the wallpaper left/right instead.
Firstly, let me point out the functions of the corners of the screen for different modes.
Max Manila Setting Screen can be accessed by swiping from top to bottom
Menu/Skin Customization (v2.9) - this is the additional selection option appearing on the MENU (accessed from homepage right softkey). What it does is to allow you to skin your notification icons by selecting jpg/png files from your album. Here's how it works.
v2.9 cab will come wt a folder called "MyFolder" in \windows. There are 8 icons 64x64 png files in there which basically is the previous and current version icons.
You can move this folder later to storage card and rename the registry path \HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_Folder. You can leave this blank and the album will open to the default path. I find this much more user friendly especially when you have tons of folders to search.
You can create your own icon in any square size; for eg, 128x128; 100x100 whatever. It should re-size back to 64x64. File can be jpg or png if you want to have transparency. Later, just dump it into the folder on #2.
Normal (Full) mode - this is your default screen with taskbar at the top and softkeys at the bottom.
Top Left - Navigates to People screen
Top Center - **REMOVED on v2.82** (previous version Cycles Clock Array)
Top Right - Show Battery Info (v2.82 - you can now edit the registry to link to your app.
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKTPath = your app path
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKTArg = your app argument
Bottom Left - Navigates to Home screen
Bottom Right - Navigates to manila Settings tab ( not Max Manila settings )
FullScreen mode - this can be enabled through your Settings screen. Your taskbar and softkeys will disappear and a fullscreen is displayed. The first time after you activated the screen. Press the HOME button to ensure that the screen fully covers up the task and softkey bars.
Top Left - activates StartMenu
Top Center - **REMOVED on v2.82** (previous version Cycles Clock Array)
Top Right - on v2.82 display taskbar information ( previously display battery info )
: Battery - Press to open up battery info
: Sound Profile - Press to navigate to sound profile setting
: Data connection/signal - Press to go to communication manager
Bottom Right - Lock screen (v2.8 onwards). This can now be changed to link to your app. Tweak the registry below.
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKPath = your app path
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_SKArg = your app argument
Bottom Left - Activates the softkeys panel ( when activated, your softkeys will appear for 2secs before it closes itself ) (v2.8 onwards)
Lite mode - removed on v2.81. You can anyway set your manila back to default by using the settings from the setting page below.
Here are the new screen for the Settings page. Most functions retain for now (I'll add more to it later) but I have shifted it around a bit. Arrows basically scroll more settings.
SETTINGS
Wallpaper - there are 3 types of wallpaper here.
a. BG4all - this is the wallpaper which will automatically load up when you select through MENU/Home Wallpaper/Weather Wallpaper. Wallpaper will show on all tabs and is fullscreen on v2.8 onwards. If you leave it, it will not display anything. Setting is "B".
On v2.9, there will be 2 seperate wallpapers. Portrait wallpaper and Landscape Wallpaper which you can select from MENU/Home Wallpaper. This will be HQ wallpaper. So, make sure you pre-format your wallpaper to 480x800 or it will not come out correct.
Portrait Wallpaper - selects your portrait wallpaper.
Landscape Wallpaper - selects your landscape wallpaper. The wallpaper will be rotated 90deg. So, make sure that you rotate your landscape wallpaper -90deg before loading.
Animated Wallpaper - this has now been tweaked to activate the animated components on your Portrait wallpaper. It has been disabled for landscape.
Remove Wallpaper - removes both portrait and landscape wallpapers.
b. Full - the file is a 1024x768 size jpg called "MaxBackground.jpg". This wallpaper will fill up fullscreen and all tabs. It is used in 3 different functions.
"P" - stands for panoramic. When this is activated, you can swipe left/right to pan the wallpaper.
"F" - stands for full. It will remain still at where you have previously panned.
"H" - stands for home only. This wallpaper will only show in home and the other tabs will have the default wallpaper (read below)
c. 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
In landscape mode, this will be replaced wt another wallpaper. The construct of these files are as such
0509ab83_manila : Left
- 512x512 manila qtc
- actual wallpaper dimension 480x480 (from top left)
47fb5656_manila : Right
- 512x512 manila qtc
- actual wallpaper dimension 320x480 (from top left)
Assuming you have a landscape wallpaper of 800x480. Below are some instructions how you can make your own.
- for the RIGHT wallpaper, crop from the right to 512 and expand your bottom to 512
- for the LEFT wallpaper, crop from the left to 480 and expand right to 32 ( your total width should be 512 ). Do the same for the bottom.
*******on v2.9, this has been removed due to it's redundancy*******
Call History (Call H) - toggle the call history on/off. This will now reside on top of the calendar. Voicemail alert has been added for v2.8 onwards.
Calendar - you can now select option 0, 1, 2 or 3. 0 will not show the calendar bar on the screen. Pls make your own adjustment to avoid any overlaps as I have removed this feature due to the inclusion of VGA which complicates the matter.
Slider - for those who does not have this feature build into the ROM, you can toggle the icon off. What this does is that it removes the first layer of the tab icon which makes your transparent slider looks much nicer when sliding through all the tabs. "ON" means slider effect is switched on.
Mute - you can now activate a silent "S" or vibrate "V" mode when you put your phone face down ( that means front screen facing the floor )
AutoLock - when turn on, your phone will goes into LOCK mode when you turn your phone upside down ( that means rotating your front screen 180deg )
Alert - here you can select whether to display the shortcuts or notification icons on screen. Also note that on v2.8, the notification icons will only display in fullscreen landscape mode only with the exception in normal mode, when your tab icon is retracted.
NS - both shortcuts and notification icons will display
S - only shortcuts will display
N - only notification icons will display
OFF - both will not display
Hide Tab (previously called Tab Icons) - in v2.8, this has been renamed to Hide Tab to avoid confusion. This only works in normal screen mode. When "ON", it will activate the retractable tab icons. In fullscreen mode, this will disabled for the sake of accessing softkeys.
Weather - this is where you toggle your weather animation. It is best to toggle it off to gain speed especially when you are loading wallpaper for BG4all.
Shortcuts - you can select 12/16/20 shortcuts for WVGA and 9/12/15 for VGA.
If you have problem accessing your shortcuts, go to the registry HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Home and look at the numbered folders. Chk out the "IsSet" and set it back to 0. Remember to do a SOFTRESET afterwards.
In lanscape mode, shortcuts will change to 3 columns for WVGA and 2 columns for VGA. (not tested on VGA device yet bcos 1922xx not ready)
Fullscreen - this will activate the fullscreen mode. Fm v2.8 onwards, the fullscreen softkeys can be accessed by pressing the bottom left while in fullscreen mode. The softkey panel will appear for 2secs.
Titanium - this will deactivate TF3D and goes to WM6.5 Window Default UI. To get back to TF3D, just go to StartMenu/Settings/Home/Items and select HTC Sense.
Goldfish - my own hobby app which will create an animated fish swimming around your screen. To close the app, just double tap the goldfish.
LTab - when "OFF", this will retain the original tab during landscape. Your other settings must be Hide Tab = OFF and Fullscreen = OFF. This is normally to be used when you want to set back to default settings.
Resolution - select "W" for WVGA and "V" for VGA phones.
Clock - this now replace the big analog clock button and incorporate all clocks into one including a full blank screen. As for the big analog clock, you can move the clock around by press+hold and move. This clock also has 3 functions to it.
Left - will toggle the inner face of the clock
Top Right - goes to world clock page
Top Left - cycles the size of the clock
The text on the setting button is labelled as below :
FA - Flip and Analog Clock
SA - Spring and Analog Clock
D - Digital Clock
AA - Dual Analog Clock
MF - Medium size Flip Clock
LF - Large size Flip Clock
S - Large size Sprint Clock
LA - Large size Analog Clock
AC - Huge size Analog Clock
OFF - Blank Screen ( removed Notification and Shortcuts )
********The text "My HTC" on sprint clock can now be edited from the registry************
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_TextName = text displayed on the sprint clock
\HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Max_TextSize = font size
Rotation - to use this, pls ensure that you do not have any external program activating the rotation of the manila or you may encounter conflicts. Below are the 3 functions :
OFF - deactivate all rotation but maintain the album/music rotation
R - rotates your screen clockwise when your turn your phone right. In this mode, your album/music turn landscape in the normal direction but can also be rotated when turn the other direction.
L - rotates your screen anti-clockwise when you turn your phone left. In this mode, album/music rotation will be disabled and replaced wt the landscape mode.
B (only on v2.9) - rotates both ways. Album/music rotation will be disabled and replaced wt the landscape mode.
When phone is facing up ( screen on top and flag ), it will not activate any rotation event.
3D - this basically toggles the look of your shortcuts between normal and 3D like when you scroll it up.
TBar - this basically toggles the display of fullscreen taskbar indicators. Can only be activated when not in fullscreen mode.
PAnim - cycles through the type of rotation animation for portrait wallpaper. Here's the description of the text.
OFF - no animation
SD - slide down

v2.7 WVGA Fullscreen Softkeys
Here's the status of the WVGA Fullscreen Softkeys. It is not finished yet but I thought it will be good that you all can help to beta test it. You practically have now a pretty smooth operation in fullscreen mode as I have tweaked the script to remain in fullscreen mode especially after exiting from album and music.
Home - ok
People - ok
Messages - ok
Mail - ok
Internet - softkeys showing but disabled due to some issues for now
Calendar - intermittent hang problem when switching calendar. To release, press HOME and you can get back to calendar again
Stocks - ok
Album - ok ( when changing to landscape, the screen just momentary disable fullscreen in order to trigger certain events )
Music - ok ( Left bottom button in landscape fixed )
Weather - ok
Twitter - ok
Footprints - ok
Settings - slight modifications. Pressing settings will go straight to the settings page instead of opening up another menu for All Settings and I've added a left softkey to go back to HOME screen
There's a new tab, not sure what it's called "Documents"?? which I will work on when I get a chance to flash the new ROM.
As for the VGA version, this will come shortly as I have to work on the original VGA files instead bcos the WVGA version will mis-align some stuff for VGA.
BTW, it is ok to install/uninstall on top of the the main cab as both of them do not share any files in common.

For Manila 2.1919xxx Users
It is very similar to the original 2.5 theme except that the fullscreen and rotation do not work. In place of the rotation button, you can now toggle your retractable tab icons to stay permanently. Pls also note that the manila components for manila 2.1 is different. The only components which you can download and replace is the panoramic background on post#4.
Looks simply amazing. Waiting anxiously to see this one.
wow... pretty cool

/e: or how did you do all that at all?
oh my dear god!this is amazing!!
Thanks a lot man for your great job!!I love this very much!!plase release the .cab as soon as possible!Thanks again!!
Bugs, Problems and Fixes:
Problems with fullscreen mode using MaxManila 2.7SE:
Download and install the fix files from this post. Thanks to ceesheim.
Problems with 'Portrait Wallpaper', 'Landscape Wallpaper' and 'Remove Wallpaper' options not showing under Home tab menu (instead getting standard 'Weather Wallpaper' option):
::Update:: I haven't been able to gather enough information from people with this bug. Please take a look at my post here and download the Home_Pages.xml file. Copy it to your Windows dir using Total Commander and soft reset. If this works please report it in the thread or pm me. The ManilaFull.xml attached to the post may or may not be compatible with your Sense 2.5 build; try it at your own risk!
MaxManila installs an edited 'Home_Pages.xml' file to enable these options. If your rom is not WWE it will use a different file called 'ManilaFull.xml'. A fix is described here. Thanks to Intruder73. I hope to get a ready made 'ManilaFull.xml' file posted here as a patch some time in the future. In the meantime yome has detailed the edit here.
Rotation/landscape problems:
Different manila builds have different levels of support for landscape. Individual rom cooks also enable or disable registry values and the GSensor as well as installing third party rotation apps. This will all affect the way landscape is supposed to work in MaxManila. Check the following (these are all suggestions that may help; I have found no definitive solutions):
Registry: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\EnableLandscape = false (This is the correct setting)
Apps: GSensor '(Diamond 2 GSensor.cab') is installed, no third party apps installed (i.e. ChangeScreen etc.)
GSensor whitelist: Download and install BsB GConfig and make sure 'Manila.exe' is removed from the whitelist
"It won't work on rom xxxx" problems:
Simple answer: Try another rom then. Complicated answer: Does the rom use CFC compression? twopumpchump has made a patched mode9.dll file to get it working Download and instructions here.
Some Quicklinks not working:
Neither Max nor I have been able to replicate this problem so Max can't fix it. A workaround is to go to the MaxManila settings page and cycle the number of shortcuts. When you return to the Home tab the Quicklinks will all work again.
Great Max.
Think it is good with a new tread. The first tread is very big and a little impossible to find the answer becaurse of the constantly new manilla files.
Looking forward to see the new program from you and the components.

It's complicated. Involves a lot of Lua scripting.

You have to use MaxTTM to convert that. I've written a tutorial on this but without the images ( run out of bandwidth )

its only working on cooked roms?
or we can try it on the stock one 6.1?
Hmm.. I'm not into lua scripting.. - but could you maybe tell me the manila file name of the black background layer behind the clock?
At the moment I'm trying to get these things more transparent..

So you have a stock wm6.1 running manila 2.5
This is only for manila 2.5 AFAIK.
Maxycy, this is phenomenal. Thank you so much, at last I've gotten rid of that bug/feature of the clock scrolling 1 hour and 2 minutes every time I change to the Home tab.

0b6f5c5e_manila is the white highlight when you touch the black background, the background itself is 31794a12_manila.
Installed CAB on Miri Rev7 (not 7.1), doesnt work.
Any idea?
Hi,
Figured out how to change icons on wm6.5 using registry. When I add a new quick link on manila today, I see the same png as in windows start menu. BUT: when I change a png file and do a SR start menu has new icon, and manila doesn't. Nothing helps - manila keeps the old version even if iI remove quick link and make it back - the old icon pops.
so, is there any icons cache or something I can clear to make my new icon appeared on Manila.
Thanks
sorry, i've found it by my self: /Application data/HTC/ProgLauncher/*.bmg....
hope, it'll be useful for somebody else too
cheers!
yeah... it helped me!
thought I was gonna have to HR to remove a nasty icon I'd assigned to my TomTom sw.
Cheers fella.
