can a manilla file stop automatic time update? - Windows Mobile

hello chef central
i have two problems with rebuilding my kitchen
the first problem is when i go to file explorer and choose a page where you could scroll down and reached the lowest point it went a little further and then bounced back to the end(hope you get what i mean as i cant phrase it better)
i lost my kitchen due to a faulty hard drive so i am rebuilding it and now i lost that option:S
im using the same tweaks as i had a backup of my regtweaks so that aint the problem
im also using the same htcscroll package as the rom where it worked so that aint the problem either i think
does some one know where to look or what to change to make this happen again
the second problem is automated time and date
when i cook a clean rom(with all tweaks in it) i get oobe and when thats finished it gets me to the homescreen
within a minute it downloads the date/time and weather data
when i cook a full with visual mods it doesnt work anymore:s
so im guessing its a manilla file that is holding back on it
how is it possible that a manilla file prevents to download date/time settings? and does some one has a idea wich file it could be?
edit: and the last question
when i create a dutch full rom it says it has 645 modules and when i make the same packages in wwe it says 636 modules:S
there arent any modules hidden in language packs right?
edit2: found the difference in modules
in the syslanguages the wwe has less files then the nld
someone know a explenation why its this way as everything works like it should in wwe and you wouldnt think it would if things are missing:s

you are just excellent...you provided answer for your own question!
Seriously, I am glad you solved it though..

to come back to my own question i think for the date/time thing i whas to quickcause i have seen it working now a couple of times on my full rom:-o
so i think a manilla file wont stop it
i thought it whas kinda starnge as timezonefix package dont have manilla files in it
i thought it maybe whas a manilla file as i have transparancies for date and calander things on the homescreen and thats why i thought that maybe whas the problem
i still havent found the problem for th bouncing at the end of a list when scrolling in the fle explorer
i do noticed that when i hold a sec and then try it i have the bounceing thingie:S
probably a reg setting not good

can someone tell me wich package is for file explorer?
i search in the kitchen directory for file explorer doesnt give any results

hmmm nobody can tell me wich package is for file explorer?
still busy with the bounce when reaching the end of a list in file explorer
i have it everywhere except there

do you know where i can get a icon package for this program. extension *.ico
It uses standard windows icons...
You can find *.ico files all over internet for windows, aslong as you use 32x32 and 48x48 for animated icon then its easy.
Tabs must be big enough for icons..

Anyone having a problem with it freezing when it starts up? It happens to me when I have a voicemail. The active sync would open and then I can't do anything. I ended up hard reseting my phone to be able to run my phone again. I like this program. I just don't want to keeping hard reseting my phone everytime I get a voicemail and soft reseting before I clear it.
this is one sweet app.
anyone know how to enable the Task and Schedule today plugins to work in the tabs?
Anyone buy the full version yet? I tried this program and loved it, so I bought it from Handango.com. The registration seemed to work, but at some point I got "not activated" all over the screen. I went back into the configure program, and the registration code went back to all 0's. I've since been flashing a few different rom's (trying to find the best 6.1 for my 8525) so I haven't reloaded it yet. Hopefully it was a freak thing, and it'll work once I reload it.

I had the same problem when i first installed it, phone freezes then activesync opens and the phone stops to respond, had to hard reset too .
I made sure that all active today plugins are not dsiplayed ( settings,today, uncheck them ) then installed ultimatelauncher, loaded those plugins into seperate ultimatelauncher tabs. been working fine so far, I had no problems ,been two days now .
For the *.ico files, i converted few *.tga icons to *.ico , ultimatelauncher would see them but won't load them .. so i figured it could be the size of the icon, a bit big for ultimatelauncher ( 40 X 40 ) .. will try with smaller icons later .
Edit : tried with ( 16 X 16 ) icons and still ultimatelauncher won't load them

How to get back the original TF3D Backgrounds

Hi guys
I used a modification to get backgrounds in all tabs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
In the beginning everything seemed fine until I saw something strange in some undertabs like for exemple the tab, where you can see all the installed programs (this long list with the white background).
Now on my phone the background is white in this section, but not entirely. In the upper part of the screen there is like a bar in the background in which you can see the background witch is installed in all other tabs. Dont know how to explain.
Best would be to send you an image of it but how? How can I make a image of the phone?
Hope someone knows how to reset the background to default or to solve my problem. Perhaps someone could post here the original manila files (at least the 5c9aa261_manila and 4a087e41_manila ones).
edit: when I delete the file "4a087e41_manila" I get all tab backgrounds white. Perhaps its a good hint for the solution.
Thanks in advance.

There is always the hard reset option which definitely would bring it back.
Hehe, yes I know, but like you already figured out it is the last option for me
I first want to know if there is a quicker (peerhaps also harder) way to get it right.
Only for curiosity: How is the hard reset performed on the Touch HD?
Should have made a backup before installing anything new .if u dun like sumthing that cannot be simply removed from remove program list than a hard reset and restore always work..i learnt that the hard way though
Well in fact I did make a backup of the 5c9aa261_manila file. The problem is, that also when I replace the file with the original one the problem arises. And when I delete the 4a087e41_manila file (which is not part of the original system, only needed when using the modified 5c9aa261_manila file) then I get all white backgrounds, like mentioned above.
Couldnt someone post the original 5c9aa261_manila file here? (only people who didnt do changes of backgrounds til now). Would be great.

AFAIK that really doesn't matter, since it does not depend on any language pack and is the same for all language versions.
Oh and while I am at it I might as well help you out LOL
Here it is, 5c9aa261_manila, it's from the WWE rom... haven't changed a single _manila file yet, and the ROM is still stock... So I guess it is 100% identical to what you had on there before switching background mode.
Also ALWAYS keep a copy of ALL _manila files before using manila customizer...
Have fun!

I used the manila file of nin2thevoid. Did work for me to get back the backgrounds!
Thanks to nin2thevoid and also to you the offered help!
Btw. you will find the file in the windows folder on your device (not SDcard).

I also had to restore the black background. Expecially in the music tab i could not read all the tracks and it was annoying. Still... it was nice to have a background in a certain tab. Is there possible, for example to have a background in "home" and the same (or another) in "weather"?
all i did was delete the 4a087e41_manila file and the modified 5c9aa261_manila file, and then the ROM version of 5c9aa261_manila reappeared. I then soft reset my HD and i had the original background file again.

Binary Clock for Touch Diamond

Hey folks
i have a request, i saw there is a kick ass binary clock for the prophet that looks like that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1861193 The Uber Binary Clock
i have a dutty rom installed, and i'm using touchflow 3d with the wm 6.1 installed, would there be a possibility that someone can make a clock for my phone too? =)
color in limegreen would be the end**** muuah
thanks in advance maybe there is one who want to give it a shot
cheers
rob
i used this clock for a while..
its made with chi tai's "homescreen" today plugin.
its just a theme for this handy tool.
some dudes were really amazed about me getting the time from some dots
I think it is possible and simple to get it on TF3D, I will try it, when I will have a little bit time for it.

If you could direct me to the software I would need I will look into it and try to do this myself. I love the idea.
Here it is:
1) disable manila
2) backup the files with names in enclosed zip file (backup original clocks)
3) copy and replace files from enclosed zip file to \windows
4) enable manila
hello vphk,
i just tried out your manila files, but instead of binary clock there were pink numbers on the home screen?
am i doing something wrong?:
i disabled TF3D - was overwriting the 6 files - reaktivated TF3D again ... and failed
greetings stizn
Sorry I dont know, where is a problem. Maybe different manila version.
Now I am using Rhodium port from Xbmod.
Does anybody have the same problem or is here anybody, who has not problem with binary clock ?
Now I have tried to download posted files and everything is OK, I checked it with manila editor.
Pink numbers - it looks that you have branded T-Mobile ROM isn't it ?
now, i'm confused, i checked your posted files yesterday with the manila editor 0.2 and they were blank?
What am i doing wrong?
greets stizn
Hi,
I tried it now (download) for the second time and still is everything OK.
I used manila editor v 0.2 too. There are only 2 file blank - it is background for clock.
So I am confused too
when i downloaded it again today it worked... thanks a lot for this clock

Restore Original Pop Out Scroll Bar

Hi Guys,
I'm using the Dusk theme and bars etc.. Once I'd installed I noticed that the Pop Out scroll bar had vanished. This I thought was an extremeeeeeely useful setting....
So I hard reset and dumped the today reg from HKCU, after a little messing about figured that I'd just import the reg keys from the original settings. Here are the keys
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\ScrollBar]
"ScrollBarThumbThemeImage"="\\Windows\\HTCblack_scrollbarThumb.png"
"ScrollBarThumbThemeImageBottomMargin"=dword:00000022

I'm sure there is a genius in here that could turn this into a cab. Otherwise, copy the text save in a text file add "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" as the first line of the text file.
Rename as a .reg file. Import with your preferred reg tool.
In recent posts I've been berated for my efforts to help. I'm no genius, but I have tried this and it's working on my o2 device.
BACKUP BEFORE TRYING. EITHER THE REG ENTRIES OR THE ENTIRE DEVICE
Hope this helps someone
remove .txt from the attached file.
BIG Thanks to johncmolyneux for the cab.
It doesn't work for me. I changed the theme to one of the other pre-installed ones and set the registry values as described above, but there was no change (after a soft reset).
I have made a cab file, but I'm not gonna upload it till we know why it didn't work and I've fixed it.
Did you import all of the values or change a few?
I tried the change a few initially and all I got was the original original (i.e.wm5) scrollbar.
When I imported the file in the first post it worked. These were the only changes that I'd made.
Do you have the original ROM?
The Pop out images are in the windows directory named "01THUMBxxx"

The Dusk theme isn't one of the pre-installed themes is it? Did you try it with one of them?
I didn't..... I only used the HTCBlack theme (Which I think it set by default).
I therefore also don't know if the Pop Out Bar is present in the other themes.
I'm going to do a backup and try another theme.
Confirmed working on the DVF Green Theme
Confirmed working on the Classic Blue Theme
Works perfectly, thanks!
There's a lot of misplaced spaces in what you posted, after removing them, it works.

I just read it from the screen - it's the simplest way to then recreate the structure in Visual Studio. I've already had spaces in my posts before now, so I was aware of that issue.
Anyway, I've fixed the cab file and it works a treat now, so I'll send you a link to it so you can download it and attach it to the 1st post, rather than have it here on the second page.

Check the windows folder for a series of images starting 01Thumbxxx. I suspect that it's a little more in-depth than a few images.

i don't think it is possible to back-up your current rom n settings.

Check the Energy ROM thread. There is some talk of it in post #5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
i did it with my o2 rom just to see how to do it, but in all honesty i won't be doing it again. No point when the rom is available to download, and it doesnt save settings anyway. Ive posted teh how-to just because you asked about 'dumping the rom' so it will no doubt get hits from epople wanting to know how, and not just people like you wanting to backup, not dump.
dump the .raw partitions, reading step one in THIS first post will help.
Then set up ervius visual kitchen and use the 'raws2nbh' function to rebuild the raw files into the .nbh rom file.
BUT, it wont save your rom as it is now, with all your settings and such, it will only dump the rom as it was when you first ran the phone.
Far easier to just download the stock rom from somewhere.
Plus the rom you create even though it is stock will still be seen as a cooked rom by teh phone, so you would need hspl installed to flash it.
So, you need to look more into backup software, like sprite backup, PIm backup, or sashimi/makisu, or the like.
thanks very much. I guess I stick with backing up the settings and flashing the stock rom... thanks for the feedback again... ps: the point was to have the rom just how out was when dumped...

Yea, i know what you mean.
I found a cooked rom that i liked, and the chef also offered the kitchen with it. (which means i run the kitchen, press 'build' and fifteen minutes later the rom is created, ready to flash.)
Then, knowing i have a rom that i already like, i can start to make small adjustments. Progs that i normally have to reinstal every time i have converted to cookable packages, various registry tweaks that i used to instal from cab every time i have now cooked in.
A great way to get an easy intro into cooking, but because it's already built you aren't starting from a stock rom, facing weeks of tweaks. Instead i know i already like the rom, and i can slowly apply extra tweaks as i learn.
Look out for rom threads who offer 'comes with kitchen'.
ChuckyROM is the one that comes to mind, but there are others too.
I now have cookies home tab mod pre installed, and right from the start it has my layout, and all my quicklinks already there, as well as most of teh cabs i used to instal manually already built in, owner name pre set, home location/timezone etc etc all pre set, my own lockscreen, i've removed tons of unused images and language files, and such like.
My rom is down to around 145MB. (Stock is around 200MB+).
Best of all, i cooked in 'remotetracker', so if my phone gets stolen/lost, , even a hard reset wont stop it being trackable.
Fun stuff, if you dont mind spending a few hours at a time cooking/flashing/re-cooking/flashing/re-re-cooking, , , hehe

well its not that simple. when a chef cooks the rom, it is usually protected, so you cant just dump a cooked rom. Thats why you have to get a pre built kitchen for that rom.
Sadly there is no simple step by step for all this.
THIS thread is for OSKitchen, which is pretty good, and fairly straightforward.
I suggest you just get a kitchen, dump a stock rom into it, and just have a look around it for a while first, so you get the idea of what you are facing.
Follow posts 1 - 4 and that should give you an evenings tinkering to get started.
Or there is ervius' visual kitchen, which isn't quite so straight forward, but works really well for me.
Reading HERE and HERE and HERE
and lots of reading in 'Chef Central'
However, to get immediate results, i found it far better to start with a pre built kitchen.
HERE is the one i first started to tinker with.
I gave up on kitchens a half dozen times in the past months, it just seems so overwhelming, which is why a ready made rom i could make minor tweaks to came in so handy.
thanks allot, I'm going to get to it right away. I'll post if I hit a wall.

convert it to an ext package, which will generate a folder with various files/subfiles, one of which is a reg file, edit that, add your registry entries (extracted from your currently running phone, using ceregistry editor ((if you dont already have them, immediately you finish reading this go get wincecab manager, ceregistry editor, and look up CAB_Converter too.)))
Use cab converter to change the cab into an ext.
as always, the best advice is to read everything, then read it again, hehe.
A working example.
connect your phone to usb, open ceregistry editor, click connect, browse to HKLM\software\HTC\manila\Home There are 80 or so numbered folders, Thats for the quicklinks.
In the tree view on the left, right click the folder Home and choose 'export'. A file save dialog will open, call it something like home, OK. You should get something like '81 keys exported'
Now, browse to the folder where the converted cookies EXT is, find the file 'app.reg'. Double click to open it in ceregistry editor, you will see a similar registry view as you saw on the phone, except with loads less entries. Find HKLM\software\HTC\manila\Home, select the home folder, hit delete, confirm, its now gone.
Go to top of ceregistry editor - hit Edit - Import registry keys from file.
Now, by default it will be looking for .reg files, but we exported ours as .cereg, so change the filetype dropdown to 'all files'.
Find your 'home.cereg' file we exported, click it, you will get a 'sucessfully imported,....blahblah', hit save, and now, when you cook the rom, your quicklinks will already be there as soon as the phone first boots.
Use SPB backup
Use SPB backup. Works wonders. I have a backup for the 3 or 4 roms I run. So all I have to do is load the rom, load spb backup and restore the backup and all my settings, email accounts, facebook and the such is ready to go.

use the 'raws2nbh' function to rebuild the raw files into the .nbh rom file.

This step is much more complicated than it sounds. Any possibility that you could include instructions for this?
Thanks!

sure you want to bother? it wont save your settings as they are now, so you are essentially dumping the stock rom as it was when you got the phone (Assuming you're running a stock rom that is, if its a cooked rom it probably wont convert anyway)
All (most) of teh stock roms are available to download, so its an accademic task only, , , ,

Actually, yes. I realize its redundant work, but I don't see how I could ever become a proper "chef" if I can't even manage to dump a ROM.

hehe, well, ive only done it once, so you know as much as me, , get ervius vis kitchen (im sure other kitchens can do it too, just i use evk) click extra buttons, top left button is raws2nbh, follow the prompts.
You dont need to do this to cook, you know that? the kitchen will import a downloaded stock nbh, no need for the dump to get a kutchen working.
