attached is my manila file .. maybe it'll help figuring out the problem

isn't there anyone who can help me !

Open 26948339_manila under \Windows and add the following code in. I don't have access to the file now so I cannot tell u where to add the code. Try downloading the file above your post to see where the code was added in.
Code:
<SimpleDialog Name="MessagesGizmoResponse_Forward.dialog" PackageName="HTC">
<ComponentReference Name="dialogItem" Mode9Path="HTC\simpledialog.mode9" Component="SimpleDialog" SmartComponent="true" />
<DialogItem Name="Menu">
<DialogItem Name="New" Title="[[IDS_MESSAGING_NEW]]" />
<DialogItem Name="Reply" Title="[[IDS_MESSAGING_REPLY]]" />
<DialogItem Name="Forward" Title="[[IDS_MESSAGING_FORWARD]]" />

The only safe way to enable any Manila mod that is dependant on modified code in 26948339_manila, without compromising other menu options in TouchFlo, is to restore your 26948339_manila file back to the default and manually edit the XML in this file.

6.5 Widget Creation

For those that have successfully created Widgets for WM 6.5, I need a little assistance.
I followed this guide (http://www.mobilitydigest.com/how-to-make-a-wm-65-widget/) and tried to create a couple of widgets. In fact, I first tried to just edit the config.xml and widget.htm files for a couple of the widgets already created to use different urls. In all cases I get an error in widget manifest. Installing the widgets they created works (I know I have widgets on my 6.5 ROM). I suspect that the issue is either saving the file in notepad (this seems unlikely) or the creation of the .wgt file. I tried zipping the files with both Windows Vista compression and 7 Zip. Neither allowed for the widget to install. I am not zipping with a folder in the compressed file, just the three files from the guide. Has anyone else had this problem? What am I missing?

did you compress the file, and change the extension from ".zip" to ".wgt"
?

me
I am also having problems i get an error message. http://www.fuzemobility.com/how-to-make-a-wm-65-widget/

post your files. it could be an error in the xml.

I am also having the same problem, xml below. If I rename-unzip-rezip-rename an existing widget it will install, the minute I try and make any changes to the config.xml or widget.htm it will not install returning the error "Sorry, this widget is not compatible with this device" I have tried editing the files with notepad and also VS2005, and have tried windows 7 zip, and winrar, any help would be appriciated.

Here is an example of one of my widgets that do not work. I took the ESPN Widget from this link (http://www.fuzemobility.com/wm-65-widget-mania/) and just changed the url to be the iphone ESPN page since that is more finger friendly. It will not install, although the original ESPN widget would installed (I tried mine first, so I am sure there was not a conflict of having two of the same widgets).
I did all my editing in Notepad and compressed using the basic Vista compress/zip feature in explorer.
Thanks for the help.
The zip file has the xml, htm and png file, along with the wgt file I created that will not install

@pearlmikejam
ther error is in the xml, more specifically, the url to espn's site in the description.
Output:
"A semi colon character was expected. Error processing resource 'file:///C:/Users/hrhnick/Desktop/config.xml'. Line 12, Pos...

try removing the link, or shortening it to the the slash right after the wireless. and you should be good!

@avengerpenguin
hmmmmm... i couldnt find anything wrong. it may be the way your packaging and renaming. You did include an icon file too?
also, have you installed 3rd party widgets before? you may need to enable them on your phone with themuzz's cab.

I have successfully installed widgets using themuzz's cab hence my confusion. I used the original icon from the widget I butchered to test this on, but left it as is to avoid changing to many things at once, I will have a look at how I re-pack the files, but this doesnt pose a problem unless I alter something within config.xml or widget.htm
I will continue my fault finding and try and report back later.

Thanks for the reply. I did some experimenting and was able to get this to install wihout a URL in the config.XML file. It does not seem to serve any purpose. Any idea what the parameters are for the urls? Is there a character limit for descriptions?

There's no character limit but some pages simply don't load right. It's a pain. Like FaceBook would not let use choose between the full version and mobile - regardless of the site it decided for us. To test widgets you can try this though: http://widgetemulator.codeplex.com/

I think the url in the config file is purely for the description when installing, but I may be wrong I dont believe that it has any real purpose.

fixed, widget not intended for this device problem
On another note I have solved my problem with the widgets not installing and returning the error message about not being intended for this device.
I appeared to have been making a school boy error when packaging my config.xml,icon, and widget.htm files, I was foolishly "zipping" the folder containing my files rather than selecting the 3 files and sending them to a compressed folder.
For anyone else making this error unless you zip the files directly it causes the config.xml file to not be in the root folder.
Thanks to all those who tried to help.

Thanks AvengerPenguin, you identified the problem I was having, duhh!
Anyway, in celebration, here is my first widget - Ninjawords. It just hyperlinks to the ninjawords.com site for quick dictionary lookups, but a useful little widget for me, and non of that Apple Censorship fluff.
Oh yes, you'll have to download and unzip the wgt as xda-dev's won't let me post wgt files.

try this here

thanks for the reply but i'm hoping to do this via registration @ OS install rather than through software post wm6.5 setups...
any one else able to create a reg to implement it?

i can not belive
nobody willing to help you
you can fix it yourself !!!
if you just used the "search button"
for bug correcting
1. correct the bug
2. open an reg editor
3. save the key that you need as name.reg
4. add it to your kitchen
also you can add metadata folder to sys

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile]
@="JPEG Image"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\DefaultIcon]
@="\windows\HTCAlbum.exe,-300"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\Shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\Shell\Open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\jpegfile\Shell\Open\Command]
@="\windows\HTCAlbum.exe "%1""
this is the patch for you
fo the same for all picture extensions

or you can just edit
Album_3_2_19193429_0\files\mxipupdate_MASD_zzzHTCAlbum_RegKey.provxml
<characteristic type="HKCR\jpegimage\DefaultIcon" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="" datatype="string" value="HTCAlbum.exe,-300" translation="filesystem"/>
</characteristic>
to
<characteristic type="HKCR\3gpfile\DefaultIcon" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="" datatype="string" value="HTCAlbum.exe,-300" translation="filesystem"/>
</characteristic>

all this with just an simple search

i did search here and in google all wkend...
tried first method with the reg editing still not working...
will try the 2nd method tomorrow when i have some time...

htc album often has a provxml that fixes the file associations for album. find the packages from mega and edit the provxml to be pimg instead of album. provxml gets installed at first boot without the need for auto run. that would be the sure way to fix your problem.

i'll check the provxml file when i get home (will comment the fields out)
thing even if i dont install HTC album the files arent associated...
and i recall the provxml file already 'trying' to add associate to htc (obviously not working) as when i added it to enrivus kitchen the software works but as mentioned above no link in file explorer / titanium pictures.
thanks for the help

Tab title bug in (Dutch) stock ROM + 'achternm' typo

Just picked up my HD2 yesterday and already tweaked it quite a bit using tips from this forum. However, there is one thing I can't seem to resolve.
The original dutch HTC Sense puts the tab title of 'music' in caps. So it's like "Mail, Weather, MUSIC, Calendar, etc" (Mail, Weer, MUZIEK, Agenda, etc.). It's obviously some sort of typo in the translation to dutch and although it doesn't affect usability it really annoys me.
This is what I've tried so far:
- Search the register for the string value 'MUZIEK' or anything close to that
- Search the content of Manila XML files for the string value 'MUZIEK'
- Open manila.exe with ResHacker to search for strings..
None of those gave me any locations where I could change 'MUZIEK' to 'Muziek'.
Any suggestions?

I bet it's in one of the many 'xxxxxxx_manila' files under /Windows/. On the Touch Pro, one of those contained the today screen tabs info. I remember I changed a tab title there once.
I haven't gotten around to looking for it yet on my HD2, but I'd like to change that 'MUZIEK' title as well!

It is in: Windows/56ae5a2d_manila (line 27) and Windows/784be3cb_manila (line 6)

I remember now: the file is /windows/26948339_manila.
You should copy the file to another location, open it with a text viewer and look for this line:
<Page Order="8" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title=[[IDS_MUSICTITLE]]>
I believe the 'Title' field is the one we want. It uses some kind of variable called [[IDS_MUSICTITLE]], that I guess holds the string 'MUZIEK'. Since I don't know where that variable is defined and if we can change it [edit: see post above], I think we could (for now) just replace the variable right here with the title we want.
So, the line should become:
<Page Order="8" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="Muziek">
Save the file under the same name. Then copy it back to /Windows/ using TotalCommander (a file explorer that can 'overwrite' ROM files). Then restart HTC Sense.
I should warn you that this is all speculation based on what I (vaguely) remember doing on my previous phone. I haven't installed TotalCommander on my HD2 yet and I'm too tired to experiment right now... So try at your own risk.

There you go, my question was already answered while I was posting.
Changing the variable where it is defined is a much more elegant solution than replacing it ad hoc, of course.

Nothing even close to "MUZIEK in "26948339_manila"
have a look at the two files that I mentioned.
Both files have <source>MUZIEK</source> in it!

Just tested my "fix", and yes... After a reset it's now showing Muziek.
B.t.w. It's not the only typo.
Have a go at adding a new contact.
Look at what its saying for second name (Achternm)

I think my fix would work because I'm replacing [[IDS_MUSICTITLE]] (which stores the string 'MUZIEK') with 'Muziek'. But yours is better because it fixes the problem at the source. Thanks!

Thanks guys! Editing the Windows/56ae5a2d_manila and Windows/784be3cb_manila files did the job! They don't have an .xml extensions which explains why they didn't show up in my searches.
Robrecht: I had tried overwriting the MUSICTITLE variable name with 'Muziek' before but that didn't make a difference. That might have been the title the way it shows up in the settings screen where you can change the order of the tabs.
I'll try so search for the 'Achternm' typo in these files as well...

I fixed the 'achternm' typo in the contact editor. It was baked into an executable. Replace the file in the attached zip with the one in the phone's Windows folder.

Maybe a dumb question, but how can I replace the file? It says it's in use (which makes sense).

You can overwrite ROM files with a file explorer like Resco Explorer or Total Commander. Also; I would always make a backup of files you overwrite.

Btw. These are the edited _manila files with the fixed MUZIEK (caps) typo. Same story as above for the /Windows folder on your phone. (Phone needs to be restarted)

Thanks, ik zat me er ook al aan te ergeren...
From what ROM did you extract and altered the ContactEditor.exe.0413.mui because now in ROM 1.48, all the field names are gone !!! Please explain to us how and what you have done with the .exe to fix the Achternm typo?

Footprints tab to install

Hi Guys
I use a stock rom with manila 2.5 on my TP2 and it does not contain Footprints tab, which i find very useful. I found a link to files for it extracted from HD2
"rapidshare.com/files/367420188/Manila_Footprints_2_5_20111529_0__Leo_.rar". Unfortunately, simple copying to Windows folder and importing of registry data did not lead to tab appearance.
Could you guys help to either create a cab file or advise how to install it correctly?
Thanks

Wow, so many smart people are on this site and nobody can answer??

Footprint Tab
I dont have seen a Tab cab for the Rhodium. I try the package OEM tab from a HD2. Unfortunatly with no result.
I know there is a mortscript version but i dont try that one yet,

try this
i had 2 luck but i'm using the 6.5 stock rom

A .rar file is a compressed archive. You need to uncompress it before copying to your phone. Google WinRAR for such a program.

Footprint Tab
I have now also the one with the mortscript
I can try to use this in our kitchen.
But will try this cabfile first

Thank you guys for advice, I tried the cab file from your link, but unfortunately despite being installed very smoothly, no tab is added. I wonder why it happens, since I use several wonderful tabs, as Facebook, GPS tracker, Today, Call history, Programs made here on xda, but Footprint seems to be doomed for me.
I will be grateful if any additional advice can be given.

You have to edit "26948339_manila" to add the following code in there for footprints to show up.
Code:
<Page Order="9" Name="footprints.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_FOOTPRINTS_TITLE]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\Footprints\footprints.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Footprints_icons.mode9" Component="Footprints_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Footprints_icons.mode9" Component="Footprints_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Footprints_icons.mode9" Component="Footprints_Preview"/>
</Page>
Make sure you change the page order to match what you have in you ROM.
Also ensure this reg key is correct as well
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://footprints.page.hidden"=dword:0

Well, I edited 26948339_manila, modified the key in registry, nothing happend. I even did hard reset started everything over, but it does not work. A green icon of footprint appeared in Startmenu, when I pushed it just slightly blincked and returned me to the Home screen.
Well, I gave up. Perhaps it realy does not work on Stock Rom with Manila 2.520121225.0.
Thanks for help.
