Manila 2d disable lines on Home XML - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi everybody,
sorry for my bad english.
I have a HTC Touch 3g (Jade) with original ROM (new update), but installed the M2DC-Programm and I´m using a personalized skin.
In M2DC you can enable or disable parts of the Home XML, for example the lines between clock, missed calls and the calendar.
When I disable all of them, there is still a small line under the second calender entry. When only one entry is shown, there´s no line.
The line itself is not centralized, it´s so called "left-aligned".
Maybe there´s anyone who knows how I can get rid of this line, which ist only shown, when there´re two calender entries on the Home XML.
I´m not very confidend in hacking files, but when there´s a possibility to change the HomeXML-File I would try to do it.
Thank you very much!
Best regards,
Virusboard

thx
try a program called rltoday. you could make your own skins, and they can be ne-thing and everything you want.
just search for rltoday.
Thanks!
Now I have to download and try.
Somebody made this for rlToday?
It's awesome

Nice job tslany!
Removing bottom bar: copy extracted dciNobar.exe to Uni (i.e. \Program Files or anywhere), create shortcut, copy shortcut to \Windows\Startup & you lose the bottom bar & soft keys every soft reset. [taken from LG KS20 thread]
Remove tray icons except bluetooth (I don't have it) by installing individual attached cab files.
Let us know if you are successful in this project!
Thanks, catch-22
Here is screenshot of ver. 0.4:
SnapVue.zip contains skin for rlToday and LCD font, SnapVue-tsk.zip contains TSK file
(for remove BT icon (Widcomm stack) I move BTTray.lnk from StartUp folder to My documents and softreset )
Getting better tslany!
Now, we need to put something on the empty space in the middle of the screen like the original SnapVUE. Perhaps align the calendar, email, sms icons in one row and use standard WM5/6/6.1 today plugins to fill up the screen.
Better yet is to enable today plugins above to appear in the empty space between those icons. Wisbar Advance and/or Advance Desktop cannot do that, but I don't know if rlToday can do that either.
Anyway, great job & thanks for sharing. Let me know if I could still be of any help. Will try your design over the weekend, you're welcome!
I had a (little) pause, but now I'm going to work on it. Here is screen with "SnapVue" service from Shift
A if is able to somebody send video with demonstration of all function original SnapVue today plugin, I would have thankful

Remove Call history and/or Calender from home screen?

Hey guys,
I'm trying to make my home screen as "clean" as possible, and I'm wondering if there is a way to remove Call history and/or Calender beneath the clock?
Cheers
I'm searching for this for a while too. I still didn't find anything yet. Hope someone can help us
This could be handy
Elvelynn posted a fix like this for the Diamond.

@Chef Ben
Ok, at the weekend I made a cab for me so I can install the "clean hometab" at my german diamond in one step, it also ereases the dotted line and the arrwos. So before you install my custom cab, you have to uninstall the single cab first.
(Note: with this cab you will also get a transparent clock background)

Elvelynns first post about editing the home screen is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2861270&postcount=590
In the file '7e640092_manila' (xml language file) you can edit/delete the text for the different entries on the hometab. Just open this file with a normal editor and edit/delete the entries (for example Date, text for "blank" callhistory- or calendar-row, not active alarm, ...).
Only the next entry in the calendar-row and the display of an active alarm cannot be changed with this methode.
You also have to know, that this mod only changes the visual appearance and not the "function" of the row, for example if you tab on the now blanked callhistory-row you will still get to the callhistory.

However, I don't know if it's compatible with Blackstone.
ok i've tried it,
all that happens is it removes the dotted lines....
if i get time i'll look at the 7e640092_manila

Menu Extension in Messages (Manila)

Hello,
I wrote a programm which allows someone to send SMS over CherrySMS (a online Service).
It even adds these SMS messages to the Sent Items (SMS) Folder.
But afterall it is not really well integrated into Manila & Windows Mobile.
I'm searching for a way to add a menu entry into the Manila Messages view (where you can see received messages) and the Threaded View that I can simply click on that and my application starts and can reply to that message.
By searching the web I just found a way to add menu extensions to PocketOutlook, but that's not enough for HTC/manila based phones.
So is there any good way to archieve that?
cool!
The manila tv player has a functionallity like this! i think you can stick to the implementation they used in their files...
Where do you actually see the sourcecode of manila tv? I just see a cab file and a description how to add channels to this application.
But afterall it's not such a bad idea to completly replace the SMS/message view in manila. It might be a start ... thank you
Does someone else know a way to add a menu entry to a manila based application? Maybe it is a xml-file, or a registry entry? Sorry I don't know very much about this whole Manila stuff (especially the manipulation of it).

Basic customization for TF3D home screen

Using:
HTC Tilt2 (AT&T)
Stock ROM
Manila 2.1 tf3d (not sense ui)
Is there any simple way (via editing xml code or a .cab) to add notifications to the home screen of the touchflo 3D? I really dislike both the sms and email tabs and want to remove them, but need to know when an account has a new email.
Alternatively, is there a way to make the tabs display the # of NEW messages, rather than Unread messages? If so, I could just use the tabs for notification, and otherwise ignore them...
I have been searching a reading until my head hurts, but I just cant seem to find the right key words to get the info I need. Thanks for any help...
Ok, maybe a complicated way, then?
After looking through all of the xml files on this device, there does not appear to be one that controls the main "home" tab of the touchflo 3d interface. At least, not one that I can make any sense of (there are several that are just numbers/letters grouped in 4s through most of the document)...
So... What type of file should I be looking for, and how to edit it?
---------------------------------------------
What I think I know about the xml files:
att_tabitems.xml -> all of the elements on the att tab of the touchflo ui.
default_contacts.xml -> speed dial
ha_skin_*.xml -> photos and videos tab of touchflow ui
internet_portal-en-US.xml -> top half of internet touchflo ui
StreamingPlayer*.xml -> music tab of the touchflow ui
There's also a few obvious ones for other program's, like the calculator, settings for pop mail... etc
They are manila files.
I did a quick search and i found this... not sure if it will work though

How would the phone discern which messages are unread as opposed to which is new? They are essentially the same thing. Good luck with finding that one.
All new messages are unread... but all unread aren't new (but "new" being as you haven't read them so, in a sense, all unread messages are new... yeah haha have fun with that.)
Not quite, I think...

I've looked at all of the manila files with the manila editor (literally every single one)... they all seem to be just images. Am I missing something here?
Edit: Yes, I'm a blooming dope. The manila editor was filtering for just graphic files. opening in mode9 editor allows me to see file types. There are 4 types of manila files: mode9, lua, xml, and graphic files. Haven't figured out what yet, but the file 590ad244_manila seems to be the xml file controling the home screen. Not sure how far I can get with just the xml (as there are also lua and mode9 files associated w/ the home screen, but I'll be giving it a go over the next bit

Thanks, but that thread says it is for "sense", and that seems to be different than the 2.1 tf3d "manila"... at least based on post 3 of this thread

That is exactly what I am looking for though.
Any chance that information is wrong and I actually have sense 2.1? I read elsewhere that if the slider icons were black/white, it's not sense, colored icons, it is. Can't seem to find that info anywhere right now though.
Thanks for the help so far, I really do hope you all can help me sort my muddled noob confusion out here.
*Sorry, had to remove the http bit from the link to the post. for some reason the forum is calling that an outside link and not allowing it.

Well, I have ~102 unread messages on my gmail account (I suscribe to several linux lists- i know, cut back) and 4 unread messages on my outlook. In TF3D UI, the message tab says 99+. If I switch to stock Windows Mobile 6.5 (titaniun), on the email slider it just says "1", because there has only been one message received since the last time I went to the email interface and opened those accounts. This has been the default behaviour of all of my previous WinMo devices (always WinMo standard, before now).

change left softkey "People" to "home" at cprog (Phone)

Hi there,
I am looking for a way to change the left Softkey of my phone (HTC TP2, Tilt,Rhodium) from actually "People" to "Home". (I am bored of recalling my Phonepartner, because I wanted to change to the HTC sense Homescreen while have a phone call and so, I suspended the call ...)
This is NOT the Softkey of the Manila / HTC sense UID, but the one of the Phone (cprog).
I had looked at the registry and nothing found and I used the search-function here at the forum, but nothing found, too.
Can anyone help me ?
Thank you,
MalcomX
