[APP][DISCONTINUED] [VGA Program Tab for Manila 2.5 with HOME SCREEN Setting NOW]

[mkucuksari]

Hi to Everyone, 29/03/2010
Sorry for long delay returning back to my own thread
As you know, from the time that I opened that Thread, new Manila versions are released like 2012, 2013...
I have tested with Manila 2.5 2012, but not able to make it run properly (as already mentioned by some users at previous posts)
I am not a programmer. I only collect the knowledge and combine all of them to make things working properly.
Also during that time period, Cookie releases a very good tool (Cookie's Home Tab).
So according to me, there is no any more need for having a another special "Program Tab". Because of that reason I will not spend any time for porting this tab to new Manila versions.
I already explained every details that I know at first post at Manual Installation section.
Anyone who wants to continue this thread is wellcome.
I hope you understand me.
Thanks for everyone who gives support / interest to this thread.
Hoping to see you at some other new ones.
Bye

First of all many thanks to “Gullum” who export Program Tab from Manila 2.1 , “Omnicronx” who finds a way to make a cab file to install new tabs without cooking, "stsoft" who explain how to add "Program Tab" at Home Setting Page . Without them, I won’t be able to do it. So all credits to them

Although it is UNINSTALLABLE But please do not forget that **INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK, AS STATED BELOW IT HAS SOME BUGS **

NOTE: If Auto installation does not work for you with any cabs, please check and be sure that you are using correct version. If the problem is still exist then please look at “Manual Installation” Section.

Auto Installation:
1. Before installation, take a back-up of “26948339_manila” file. (Just for safe )
2. Disable Manila (I actually install it before disabling)
3. Select the cab that fits to your configuration and install it into Device
4. Restart if it asks
5. Enable Manila

Program Tab should be appear now

Manual Installation:
1. Before installation, take a back-up of “26948339_manila” file.
2. Disable Manila (I actually install it before disabling)
3. Install the cab file.
4. Restart if it is asked.
5. Modify your original “26948339_manila” file and add the following codes mentioned at below or copy them from “Program Tab Adding.txt"
6. Copy your modified “26948339_manila” into “\Windows” folder.
7. If you also want to add "Program Tab" into your "Home Setting Page", please add the following registry entries.
8. Restart
9. Enable Manila

If you are not familiar with manual installation steps, please send your original “26948339_manila”, I will try to help you.

The way it works:
To add a quicklink
1. press where you want the link
2. In programlist choose a program now you need to press back to add it

KNOW BUGS
1. Pressing “all programs” button opens the list but can't run programs from there and pressing back will add selected program to last added quicklink

2. You wil not be able to add a program to Item-1 (Quicklink-1) , it is disabled. (It can be enabled but problems can't use quicklink 1 and 2 at the same time, this will cause all next links to have white icons)

3. After selecting a program, "Select a Program" page will not disappear itself. Please use "Back" button to exit.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1- If we are facing a oversize icon problem, please try another version like
If the problem is still exist, please uninstall my cab, restart your pone. Connect your phone to your PC, copy and send your original "26948339_manila" file. I will try to help you.

2- If you have outline problem in the slider bar, like rstoyguy, please check if you are using any slider modification, like a transparent mod. If yes please uninstall it and give a try again

3-After uninstalling my cab, if you lose your custom tab, please re-install it.

4-After installing my cab if previously installed "Manila TV" tab disappears, please check that you are using "Program Tab Manila 2.5 V.1.1.X.X.01.zip"

5-Previously installed "Today Screen" Tab will disappear after installing any type of my cab. Please use Manila TV's tweak and adapt it. I am not planning to include "Today Screen" tab into my cabs .Thanks omnicronx for the clear explanation

MANUAL FIX: Previous installed "TODAY SCREEN" custom tabs disappear Problem:

I tried both 2.5 V.X.X.2.1.00 cabs on Energy Leo with footprint and manila TV, it did work but manila TV disappear. I uninstall and reinstalled manila TV and it will not show. Can we have both manila TV and programs tab?

Its because the 26948339_manila that the cab edited does not include ManilaTV. This is the file that manila uses to tell it which components to load, problem is if any component/tab you put in there must be included in your ROM or Manila will not load. I.e You can't just put in all the possible components and have it load if its there. (for example some people don't use footprints files in their ROM, so you have to take out that entry or manila will crash)

Basically unless he makes a version of the cab with ManilaTv and non ManilaTV versions, you will have to edit the 26948339_manila file yourself.

What you will have to do is follow his manual instructions, and add this to the 26948339_manila file.

<Page Order="13" Name="programs.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_PROGRAMS]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\programlauncher.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Programs_Preview" />
</Page>

Where pageorder is the next page in the 26948339_manila file, if you have ManilaTV and Footprints, it will be the 14th page, if you only have ManilaTV an no Footprints it will be the 13th page.

TUTORIAL : How to Change PROGRAM TAB ICONS:"Wil Badger"

The manila files you are looking for are :

2daf4b32_manila= large fullscreen icon
51d3a1dc_manila= large icon in actual tab
582aa2bd_manila= small icon in actual tab
740f1410_manila= large icon in actual tab


Now the two large icons that go in the tabs themselves. 1 is for while on the tab with your finger on the screen. This icon should have a highlight to it. The second large icon would be for while on the selected tab without being pressed,non highlighted. Then there is the small tab this is the tab you see before selecting it. The one thing I can not tell you right now is which one is the highlighter the ROM I'm currently using does not have it.

Go into your Windows root folder and find those files. Copy them to a folder on your PC
Go into CFC_GUI and load the folder you have copied the files to
On the lower right of the program you will "Save As" this will save a png of the picture. Save these to a folder.
You can go and edit these PNG's and save as the same manila name
Go back into CFC_GUI and in the lower right you will see replace. This will replace the picture with the one you have made/modified
Under Tools/finish up. this will start the compression/pad/trim wizard. Just follow what it asks and your done
Copy back to Windows and overwrite old files.

This looks awesome. However, is there anyway you could make it for WVGA devices also?

Would be awesome to have this on my HD2!

 

[royalt]

I think it is possible if someone can change manila settings and icon sizes according to WVGA.
But sorry, I am not a professional, so that reason I can not help you

I hope a professional will do it

OR YOU CAN GIVE A TRY. It may work with some small alignment problem

 

[rootlinux]

This is AWESOME.
Will test it out.
Thank you.

 

[rstoyguy]

Good work! I do have a problem with a couple issues...

1. the added icons, they seem oversized and you can't make them out.

2. Once I goto the new tab, it leaves an outline around the slider icons.

Any help would be apreciated!

I don't have a oversized problem. I don't know what may cause it.

Could you please give some information about your ROM and customation that you are using ? Could you please send your original "“26948339_manila" file ?

I'm using kisja 2.5 port "[APP][VGA][01.DEC.09]Manila 2.5.192X VGA Port (only for cooks) "

And looks like the last instance of that manila file is installed from a disable footprints tweak downloaded from the same forum. And here it is! Thanks in advance for any help... I can get this to .cab install, but I haven't been able to cook it in with my 2 tries yet...

Whoa... Actually the last file is one from your .cab. And it was a .cab install, the one with no footprints.

Really ?? I have not noticed it Thanks for this feedback. I will have a look and try to find out what the problem is.

By the way, after fixing that problem, if it is possible I will post the revised version of call history (better view, fits better)- Picture-1 AND a new version of Call History with BUBBLES Picture-2

For now just printscreens

Thanks! That fixed the icon issue for me, I've still have a few problems.

1. The odd outline still persists on the bottom curtain.
2. I can't select anything for position "0". It doesn't even show the red x when you "remove" programs. ** FIXED ISREADONLY duh...
3. i'm gonna cook it all in, but when selecting programs, when you click "add" it opens up all programs and when you select a program it doesn't exit. When you click a program it does select it, you just have to use the back button to exit.

As far as stats go:
Rom: slightly modified <G> Calkulins kitchen SYS 21876
manila: [APP][VGA][01.DEC.09]Manila 2.5.192X VGA Port (only for cooks)

Heck, if it helps ya out, here is my complete Sense2.5 EXT folder for the Visual Kitchen.

Thanks again for your work!

edit: Ah yes, I took the liberty of deleting any I don't include in a build, and I think the VK adds them all alphabetically.
