Not sure if anyone is using WikiPock (complete offline Wikipedia) but thought I'd ask anyway -
Is anyone successfully running WikiPock with IE6 installed on their HD?
It was running fine on Kwbr's Touch of HD ROM but won't play nice on his latest Vanilla Series Topaz ROM which includes IE6 and the latest incarnation of TF3D.
Hyperlinks and the 'tap and hold' menu won't activate. Tech support have indicated that it is compatible with IE6 so just trying to narrow down the possible causes of the problem.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I don't think it is a manilla problem, but ie6. I have the same issue with tom topaz 6.5 rom without manila, and scrolling does not work. Although you can use the zoom bar on the td2 to scroll the page, the hyperlinks still don't work.

Hi Paul,
Did you get a chance to try WikiPock on the stock TD2 ROM?
Customer Support have told me that it runs fine on machines with IE6 so don't know whether it's just that cooked ROMS haven't got all the required IE modules.
It's such a PITA as I'm not prepared to revert to the stock ROM.
Hi All,
First of all BRILLIANT website ... keep the good work up guys ... please bear with me with a few question that i have no idea about. Thought i'd put this all in one thread rather than 4 different ones:
1) Does it actually matter which cab file (i don't know what you call it ExtRom? please let me know what exactly you call it so it's easier for me to search for in the future) to use with which version of OS? Currently i'm on WM6.5 Build 23004 WWE R7.1 and i think i downloaded some can file from WM6.1 or something
2) Where can i find TouchFlo for WM6.5 Build 23004 WWE R7.1?
3) I installed the HTC Manila2d on my XDA iis but can not seem to find it any where, do i need to install something else besides this to be able to view the application
4) Most of the time when the backlight goes off on my XDA IIs, i press the power button to bring the screen back up only to find that the screen has gone white and then i have to reset my XDA a couple of times ... to get it working i have to make sure that i'm constantly working on some app for a good few minutes before i leave the screen light to go off
Would appreciate if you can help me with this. Many thanks in advance.
1. yes it most certainly does. if you had upgraded to wm6.1 and tried an extrom of wm6.5 you would probably be disappointed that some of the programs like internet explorer, office or wm6.5 specific stuff wouldn't work. the extrom is a bunch of cabs to install certain programs after a hard reset. that's why you should have a look inside the extrom and maybe google some of the cab names and decide, whether you relly need them or not. for example, if you never use java, mss, or pdf documents, leave jbed, arcsoft and adobe reader out of the extrom and save a lot of space on your device. in general, the rom chef gives a link to the extrom, fitting the rom best, but i think the last official extrom, released by a chef was with xplode's 21202. that is the one you want to take for the newest internet explorer and office and other useful stuff.
2. what? touchflo in general means... nothing. there are 3 aspects of touchflo: touchflo3d (=Manila2d), touchflo cube and sometimes touchflo is also referred to, when it comes to finger friendlyness and touch scrolling.
to be short, the touch scrolling is always on in wm6.5 and it is also quite finger friendly. about the rest... forget it.
3. you know, manila 2d is sooo 2008
manila2d is, as you might know, opticly comparable to an animated version of htc home with a bunch of extra features, and also, like htc home (or the above mentioned touchflo cube) it is improving the today screen of wm6 and wm6.1 devices. it might also work on wm6.5, but for that to be even remotely possible, you have to lose the titanium home (default today screen plugin of wm6.5, with the sliding and all...) so go to start->settings->today->items and unselect windows default and then manila might work for you, which still begs the question:
why would you want manila when you can have titanium?
manila is slow & outdated (if you ever even get it to work, most versions won't do on the BA), while titanium is new, modern, highly customizable, hip, trendy and most important of all, works extremely fast on the BA.
4. ok, assuming that you already checked the backlight and power settings, that leaves a few other things to check:
- does it also do the white screen, if you press the power button in the first place, to switch it off and then turn back on?
- did you do anything in the upgrade process differing from "the book"?
- did you try a hard reset? if you just upgraded, you have nothing to lose?
even more stuff would come to mind, but first post back if any of the things are done so far.

Hi Chef Tony, mate honestly i really do appreciate taking your time and explaining this what was once all french to me. Ok i totally get the idea of ExtRoms and Cab file. So assuming that if i use one of the 6.1 cab files on a 6.5 it should work correct?
Apparently i downloaded Manila2D from this forum, installed it but that didn't work ... i went to start->settings->today->items and unselect windows default and but it comes up as blank screen (home screen) and also i could see TouchFlo as an option and when i select that it takes me back to the home screen saying "Tap here to activate TouchFlo", no matter how many times i tap, nothing happens. So correct me when i say this, this TouchFlo which was showing up on the options is actually a Manila2D app right? I saw a video last night on youtube which said TouchFlo on XDAiis (sorry but can't find the exact link to it) and it looked something like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJFBifvgSgA i mean the interface and the screen tapping.
As far as the screen is concerned, it never used to do this but since i've upgraded to 6.5 it has started to. I followed the exact same process what the book said because i'm the sort of a person who follows the book and nothing besides that ... besides i've hard rest it as well but that still did not help. Ok here's what happens (i think), when the device is battery powered, it will white screen when the device is not used for a few minutes (sleep mode or whatever you may call it) but it does not happen when it's on external power because it's always on any way.
in general an extrom from wm6.1 would work on wm6.5 flawlessly. but as mentioned before, the versions of the internet explorer and office changed dramatically. you should include the newer cabs there.
this tap here to activate touchflo is exactly the manila, and normally it should start up then, but as mentioned before, there is no guarantee, every version would work with the BA, but i had a version once, that worked in general, it was just a little slow and some features wouldn't work, which is perfectly normal. you should have a look at this thread and maybe try the versions given there: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340932&highlight=iolite
also you'll find other neat stuff there.
if you really want manila as your GUI, maybe you should try a nice wm6 or wm6.1 rom, because manila is really sucking cpu and ram, and with most wm6.5 roms those resources are optimized for titanium and even with titanium switched off, they just consume more hardware than wm6.1 for instance. it will run better then.
but your last sentence there is confusing me. what exactly do you mean, when you say white screen? is it actually showing all white, with backlight, or is it more like the display is off, a pale grey without backlight? if it is the first option, it seems there is actually a tiny problem there, could be together with manila, back in the day, when i ran it, i experienced sort of a third boot splash screen with manila installed and the device would take forever to boot up, soft resets were a major buzzkill then.
if it is the 2nd option, then it is perfectly normal and you can go to start->settings->system->power and set the device to never switch off on battery power, but instead just switch off the backlight.
last but not least (ok, i should have written this above): the video you posted!
the first 48 seconds don't show any manila stuff, that is called s2u2, slide 2 unlock a keylock app, you can download for free, from another forum member here, called A_C, on his site here: http://s2u2.ac-s2.com/ (all credit to A_C)
i wouldn't exactly count on the photo and video function to work on a BA either, as shown about 1:20
at 1:50 the youtube app is not part of manila either, but you can download something like that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385227 or the official one here: http://help.youtube.com/support/youtube/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=20991
i really wonder what the last app was, he showed, since i don't have sound at the moment, i can't tell whether he mentions it maybe, but probably doesn't matter anyway, because you are not looking for a paint clone, but for a nice GUI
hope this could bring you a little bit further in getting your device customized. let me know, whether everything worked out as planned.

Hi Chef Tony,
Trying Titanium on Xplode's v7.1 but cannot get my normal Today plugins selected - Pocket Breeze, Device lock, Comms, and a Programme Bar.
Is there an easy way to do this? (In M2D customisation you can set the Today page plugins...)
Thanks.
the titanium blocks everything else.
when you go to start->settings->today->items you see, by default, there is a list of a lot of plugins, but the only one that is checked is the titanium home, there called "Windows Default" for instance date and time is unchecked, which does not mean, you don't see the time in your today screen as a clock is also part of titanium. if you decide to work with m2d or other normal today plugins, you need to uncheck Windows default and then you will have access to the old today screen with the static, yet small, list of items. and then you have the opportunity to use all your today plugins. if you want to use titanium home and have plugins for that look for "titanium plugins" or "chome plugins".
and the plugins of titanium can be monitored, sorted and (de-)activated in "titanizer"
all those things in " " can be found in the forum, just have a look in development & hacking section or use the forum search
iconsoft phone extension (1.45 and 1.5rcs) works very slow on my rhodium: passing trough screens (for example from the contacts list to the contact info) seems to be in slow motion. i've tried several roms (6.1 and 6.5) but nothing has changed. i've never had a problem with my past touch HD and Raphael.
I'm going mad, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
More (homemade) tests suggest that the whole app run slow on the rhodium: scrolling too is randomly a little pain.
none of you using phone Ex??
Did you try before installing it to disable the rhodium dialer (from wvga tweak), and revert to wm default?

yes, but nothing changes: sometimes it works like a charm, but most of the time it slows
Hi All
I have an unbranded SEA TP2 and am 'still' waiting for the official 6.5 upgrade from HTC.
If you have yours already i wondered if:
1. The Keyboard light issue has been fixed...?
The bugger doesn't seem to stay on when typing on the 6.1 standard.
2. Anyone tried SRS WOW on this new version...?
The 6.1 release ran it OK, but the phone eventually went into a non-wake up state so it proved to be useless.
3. There is less memory used to run the phone...?
6.1 seemed to use a hell of a lot of RAM after a while - i disabled push internet and this helped a lot.
4. Touch use in Landscape mode is better....?
With 6.1, it was often hard to trigger an event off say Opera in LM, finding the trigger hotspot was a little off on some of the buttons in various apps...
5. Is the Music Tab any better.....?
6.1 is all but useless for me. It was slow and oddly picked a single piece of cover art and used that for all songs. Interestingly, Nitrogen used the same songs, but applied the correct art to each song.
6. Is the Zoom Bar better or is there a 'magnifier' built in to the new OS..?
On my 6.1 the zoom bar is not too responsive and seemed really under utilised. I did see a built-in magnifier app on a video somewhere and hoped it might be included on 6.5 and the updated Manilla.
If anyone can shed some light, that would be really great.
In the interim, I wait for the update......
Cheers to all

Hi guys. Got a strange problem when trying to run iGO8 with my Tilt 2. I was always having problems with getting the Text to speach to work on with the HQ US voices (Susan v1.84 for example). After much testing, I figured it was the amount of free ram so I loaded up mort scripts and created a routine that would unload TF3D, clean the ram, and load up iGO. This work some of the times but other times it would not. A reboot would help but not always.
I finally got around to doing the hardspl and loaded up some of the posted ROMs on the forum. What is interesting is that any rom based on the TP2 worked fine, TTS worked without having to unload TF/Sense. But when i use a ROM meant for a Tilt2, same problem as my OEM RAM no matter how stripped down.
What could be the key difference? I tried rebuilding iGO from scratch based on other peoples post but no dice. What is interesting is that iGO seems to know which phone it is loaded in. WHen i am running a Tilt2 rom, the volume hard buttons are supported by iGO so pressing them actually changes the volume of iGO itself. But when I press them in a TP2 ROM, iGO ignores it and it changes the volume of the phone itself.
Thanks
Ernie
I'm having the same problem any help would be appreciated.
sorry, not meaning to hijack your thread, but what skin are you using for igo on your device. I'm trying to run it off the storage card which i used for my previous device, tilt, and at first it ran but wasn't utilizing the entire screen, so i downloaded a wvga skin from some site and now it won't even start, just keeps crashing on the boot up screen
check your data.zip file...
_ww.tomsoftware.net/default.aspx?pg=a97e138a-5d21-4468-a879-5d968a048707
Check out Tom's skin, really nice actually. But there is a trick it uses in that it has to uses the 400x240 vga skin version. Not sure exactly why it has to be this way (half the resolution and all) but it works. Also, if you are using above a certain version (his site explains), you have to rename the folder ui_igo8 to ui_igo8_da in the skin.
It seems to be running a little better now that I have done rebuilt my igo setup on the SD card from scratch. Still have to unload Sense but at least the voice is working - for now. Only thing I can think of is that volume control is somehow interferring with the TTS in memory.
Strange...
Ernie
Well, I might have solved the problem but I wont know for sure until I have used it a little more. I updated my iGO exe to version 8.3.4.117940 (Nov 3 2009). The TTS seems to work without have to unload Sense (using eras2r's great ROM which aimed at the Tilt2). I have EVERYTHING running including sense, push email with Exchange Server, POP email, Weather, programs, etc. I am also running the skin I referenced above so everything is as max out as possible in terms of resources.
