VGA Panoramic Mod for kimi_sae_ireba Sense 2.1.19202517.0

I have updated the panoramic mod to work with kimi_sae_ireba's Sense 2.1.19202517.0 VGA port. This version uses the same background files (67ea4038_manila, 67fc58b9_manila, & 680e713a_manila) for both portrait and landscape. Previous panoramic wallpapers made for portrait will work fine with this mod. You can find many panoramic wallpapers in this thread or many more in this thread at ppcgeeks.com.

*NRG version is full cab, no need to install the other cab (or you can uninstall and install this one). It will also work to fix the sliding position if you already have the original cab installed. Please post if it works for you on nrg rom.

This is a panoramic mod for yozgatg's Gen.Y Manila 2.1 VGA port. Thanks go to yozgatg for his great port, NisseDILLIGAF and rotastrain for the panoramic mods they created, and Chainfire and 6Fg8 for their great development tools. This is based almost entirely on rotastrain's work, including being able to display the panoramic background while scrolling. I mainly got it to fit VGA correctly and changed the landscape panoramic view so that you can see the full wallpaper and it is not cut off. Many thanks to theboostman for removing lines in portrait mode and making the opaque white background appear in all menus and Kamill for the CompactHomeScreen mod.

You can watch a video of it in action here.

Gen.Y Panorama v2b contains only the panoramic manila files and the two backgrounds pictured above, so that you will still have the same slider, curtains, clock, etc.

Gen.Y Panorama with mods v2b.cab contains the panoramic manila files, and the two backgrounds pictured above, as well as the hidden when inactive call history/calendar (compatible with 25 languages), black-glass flip clock, Lucarp78's transparent slider, no curtains, and Kamill's CompactHome Classic Full. This is the version pictured and in the video. The icons by bullet7722 are not included.

Gen.Y Panorama mods v2b-No CompactHome contains all things in Gen.Y Panorama with mods v.2b.cab except the CompactHome mod.

Gen.Y pano-slide move down fix 2b.cab will move the image down if it moves higher while sliding. Seems to be needed with NRG's Roms.

Known issues
-Some people are having the image move up/down while sliding across tabs. If this happens to use, please try the Gen.Y pano-slide move down fix.cab (do not uninstall VGA Gen.Y Panorama cab).
-Two thin vertical lines may appear on background in landscape mode


See Post #2 for more backgrounds!

Install all image cabs to main memory. They need to be in /windows to work.

FAQ:
1) I have Energy ROM and get blend of original background with the panoramic one.
See solution posted by hefman HERE.

2) What are the two thin vertical lines between images in landscape?
They are a by-product of the way the mod is written and cannot be fixed at this time.

3) The image moves up while sliding.
Please try Gen.Y pano-slide move down fix.cab from post #1.

Creating your own images:
Panoramic images for created as with the other panoramic mods (so search if you need a detailed guide ). Briefly, a 1536x512 panoramic picture is made into 3 sequential 512x512 .png images (named pano1,pano2,pano3 or whatever.). These images are then placed into 67ea4038_manila, 67fc58b9_manila, and 680e713a_manila for portrait with cfcgui and cfc compressed (optional). 6832a23c_manila, 6844babd_manila, and 682089BB_manila are the files for landscape. Copy them to /windows on your device and overwrite the ones there to change the background (requires restart of tf3d2.1). Manila files to edit are in Gen.Y Pano Background files.zip.

Guide for creating your own wallpapers by rotastrain.

Cabs for backgrounds I've made. Click image to download and restart manila/phone once cab is installed:
Most contain portrait and landscape cabs, so you can choose which you want. The zip contains cabs and larger .jpg to preview before install if you wish. Preview is portrait mode, landscape may be cropped.

The clock with 'no icons' removes the calendar and phone icon if you are using the cab with mods.

Bullet+TouchFlo+Tab+04.cab will give you the icons seen in post 1.

ps..i loved the background

[superkevx]

installing the one with mods made my call log and calender text disappear but the icons are still on the first tab. Still clickable, any way to remove or hide the icons? Or even reveal the text again, that would be cool.
