This app lets you pick 3 or 4 columns for your program tab.
It lets you pick if you want All Programs to display it as a list or 4 columns.
It lets you decide how many programs can be on the program tab. (10 to 99).
It lets you backup your program tab, and then restore after flashing a new ROM.

I had previously ported the 4 column program tab enhancemnt by Co0kieMonster.
This app gives you the exact same files from that and original manila files and gives the ability to choose how you currently want it displayed.

Backup and Restore do require that Storage Card is named Storage Card and My Documents is called My Documents

Important Note: This must be installed to the device, not a storage card. (This might not be true anymore.)

Feedback is appreciated, especially positive.

Did this app save you time after flashing? What is your time worth?
Isn't it worth throwing a couple bucks my way. Thanks in advance.

Frequntly Asked Questions / Known Issues

---

Known issues:
This does not add the registry entries that the 4 column enhancement provides.
They might already be there in the base VGA Manila 2.1.
If your ROM does not have the 4 column enhancement, you might need to install it first.
It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554330

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I cook this in my ROM?
I can't really stop you, so if you do, please donate a small portion of the donations that you receive for the ROMs you provide.
Exception to that request. NRGZ28 has my personal approval to cook this into his Raphael ROMs if he chooses to do so.
Any chef that donates does as well.

If it's cooked in a ROM, I will likely recieve nothing from the users of the ROM.
A cooked ROM is obviously worth more than any ingrediant.
But, the suppliers of the ingrediants should get something.
So, if you get $500 from a ROM you cook, throw me a bone.
I'm not looking to get rich from this, but I'd like to get a little something for what I produce.

Will this work with the ROM I am using?
If the ROM you are using is VGA and uses Manila 2.1, it will work.

Funny.

Thinking more along the lines of what schneid posted in the Raph Energy thread here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=9640

I'm liking the ones he posted. I kind of want it to indicate a little more what it does. But they are definate possibilities. They look real nice.

Good job. Cant wait for the program tab backup feature. I was backing up the registry before, but everytime I disable manila, import reg entry, and re-enable(even after soft reset) all icons are gone with a grey box in their place. Anyway, thanks.

Something like this perhaps?

But obviously tidier than my effort!

I figured out how to solve the icon issue, just set icon path to blank for each program entry

HKLM\Software\manila\ProgramLauncher\0
iconPath=blank
using regedit backup and restore, for some reason it resotores it to 0 or 8.

So, until I get this done. that is one way to restore the program tab between ROM flashes.

In any case, it is fiigured out, so now I just need to write code.

Hi!

I have a question, m is it possible to change number of shown icons?
If yes, can you add this to your program
I would like to reduce it, to see all icons only with one slide...

Thanks
