How to really configure Manilla TouchFlo2D????

I have Manilla2D on a Shifu 4.2 ROM.
Even using M2DC, I'm not able to:
- Remove "Touch here to update Weather" text just under digital clock in home tab (consider that this text reduces useful heigth for calendar)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
- Remove app name under each Icon in Launcher tab (with the name displayed, the 3x3 icon area goes under the slider, so the bottom 3 icons are partially visible.
So, does it exist a XML file, or a Registry area, to work on to deeply configure Manilla?
Furthermore (less important), I'm not able to apply any skin...
Thanks

Hi there
Check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4220621&postcount=2 for compatable themes - the old .m2dc files wont work correctly.
The layout xml can be found in the windows folder and edited HTCHomeSettings.xml (images would have to be resized though) here is helpful thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427531
The program names under the launcher tab is annoying - you have to manually edit them under HKLM\software\HTC\manila2D\Launcher\1\Dispname/ Using Total Commander I have to replace the text with a space - just deleting it and leaving a null field doesn't work.... (you need to soft reset after)
You have to do this in folder 1,2,3..... for all the programs - I'm sure someone will knock you up a simple cab if you ask nicely - I really should learn how to do it............
Hope that helps.
Good luck!

Great.
Everything works properly...
I already tried to delete dispname in launcher registry settings, but, as you told, it didn't work. Now I put a space, and it's fine.
I'm also trying to find HTCHomeSettings.xml file, I haven't found it yet, but I trust in me...
Thanks again

Pocket Player Skin VGA (FUZE / TOUCH PRO)

I searched for a while but couldn't find many VGA skins for Pocket Player, especially for fat fingers, so I made this one to suit my needs.This is a new skin I'm using mostly for the car. The idea is to maximize screen space with visuals and info, and use the hardware buttons of the FUZE to handle the controls. Just thought I shared...
NOTE:
The skin is named default_vgals.psz so it will overwrite your default installed landscape skin. This way it is automatically selected when tilting the phone. If you don't like that, just change the name ;-).
[EDIT 1/8/11]
1. Added a new version with some tweaks and the MENU BAR at the bottom, which seems more useful than the slider.
2. Also added a small Mortscript that enables selecting between separate PocketPlayer libraries. The idea is to split up large music libraries into different folders and let PP compile individual databases (metadatadb) in each folder. This greatly improves the performance of the application when browsing for music. For example, in my case, PP would struggle with my 3500+ song single library, taking on average 10 - 20 secs between each operation. After dividing the music into 4 separate folders (~1000 songs each), response is almost instant. You need to change the name of the folders in the script to match the actual folders you create, or it won't work. Then make sure you run the library scan on each folder. You get the idea...Try it...but remember to always backup, etc...

Ver 1.0
Menu Bar Version (No space for track slider!)
Library Script

This definitely will be great news for VGA users!

Gentle bump because I added / changed some stuff.

Help!

So the skin is only for the music program Pocket Player, which uses skins of the format *.psz (just a zip file renamed). The file just need to be copied to the pocket player installation folder, and then selected from the options menu. Also, this particular skin is only for VGA devices (640x480), but I don't know if Pocket Player will try to render it in your device (800x480). That said, let me see if I find some time to make a WVGA version this weekend...no promises...

[GAME] Flight commander working on Samsung Omnia II i8000

If you've tried to play this game on omnia i8000 you had find out that it runs very bad, planes are crazy and it's unplayable.
I've succeded on make it work (more or less).
Following the instructions in the thread http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000...46/flight-commander-runs-choppy/#entry1548800 on modaco, and adding some simple mods.
Installing:
1. Download and install the game.
2. Download and install the modified opengl 1 form modaco:
http://www.modaco.com/content/i8000.../opengl-es-3d-drivers-v1-compatibility-layer/
3. Download and install in the game intallation directory the libgles_cm.dll that you can find here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/omnia2gl/files/
4. Run the game and enjoy .
PROBLEMS:
Blank map Screen:
The maps are in JPG, all other images are in png. What i've done is convert that images to png and then edit the xml of each map to redirect to the new png image, and voilà.
- Planes are too fast (compared with android version):
Just edit the planes xml to slow them down, just put a lower number.
- How to play again after close it.
After completting a game the menus are blank again and if you exit the game and then open it again, it shows an error with the dll, and you can't run it again until you reset your device.
I have no sollution to this one, but if anyone can help us .
It's not perfect but it's playable, of course android version it's better.
Enjoy it

[APP] Windows Phone 3D - Stereoscopic/Anaglyph/Wiggle

And so I came back with my 1st non-homebrew application and I called it WindowsPhone3D.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So what is WindowsPhone3D?
Firstly, what are the types of stereo 3D? I know most of you already know these types of stereo 3D but let's make sure everyone understands it.
Anaglyph
- Anaglyph images are used to provide a stereoscopic 3D effect, when viewed with glasses where the two lenses are different (usually chromatically opposite) colors, such as red and cyan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaglyph_image
- WindowsPhone3D has 5 anaglyph rendering types
-- True
-- Gray
-- Color
-- Half Color
-- Optimize
ref: http://3dtv.at/Knowhow/AnaglyphComparison_en.aspx
Cross Eye (Stereogram)
- stereogram is a pair of two-dimensional panels depicting the view of a scene or an object from the vantage points of the right and left eyes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereogram
Wiggle 3D
- Wiggle 3D addresses a fundamental goal of still photography: to take a three-dimensional world, capture and then present it in two dimensions, and make viewers believe that they are seeing the original scene in three dimensions
http://www.adorama.com/alc/article/11780
thank you wiki and adorama
So WindowsPhone3D does all this for you.
How to use this application?
1. WindowsPhone3D launches
2. Goes to Cross Eye page
3. click the Left arrow to select or capture an image from your image collection or from the camera.
4. click the Right arrow to select or capture an image from your image collection or from the camera.
How to view Cross-Eye images?
- here are the tutorials how to do it
- http://www.starosta.com/3dshowcase/ihelp.html
- http://www.wikihow.com/Cross-Your-Eyes
How to view Anaglyph?
- just get/make a red/magenta goggles
How to properly capture stereoscopic image?
Just like that
here's the short video of the application. Sorry but the application is in landscape orientation
here's the XAP file download
WindowsPhone3D.XAP

:-(
Thank you - but the downloaded file is only 550 bytes and so the link maybe broken?

thanks for reporting that back. I updated the first post and I just hosted the XAP file directly to my website.
I saw 40+ downloads and they never reported the error.

Thank you. It's working now...
Tested the app - very nice.
I like the "wiggle"-effect but it's hard to get the proper perspective for the 2nd photo.

Thank you

[APP] NookCalc

NookCalc is a basic, four function calculator designed from the ground up for the Nook Simple Touch. It is optimized for the e-ink display. I wrote this app. The top right page button acts as a dedicated clear button, in addition to the on screen clear button and clear option in the menu.
Screenshot:

That looks nice, but 840 kB is way too big an .apk file for what this does.
It should be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10-20 kB.
You have included android.support.v4 and android.support.v7 when they are not used in the least.
You can delete those from your project.

Nice! It's good to see apps written for the nook.
The calculator looks nice and the e-ink optimization is great,
however, since I don't have anything to calculate just now I just did a bit of stress testing to find that:
a) there seems to be an int overflow on really large nubers, it either crashes or warps to negative.
b) I'm not sure what pressing '=' repeatedly is supposed to do (if anything at all) as it gives weird and inconsistent results.
c) it crashes on division by zero (I HAD to try that )
d) Also, to have a useful division function you really need to use floating point numbers.
It's a nice project, but needs some working on before being a useful calculator

Thanks for the feedback guys, I appreciate it. Renate NST I removed the android.support.v7 and it significantly reduced the size of the apk from 837KB to 60.4KB, a 776.6KB difference. I didn't see android.support.v4 in my project. I didn't add any support libraries myself, Android Studio seems to put the support library in new projects and there doesn't seem to be a way to make a new project without the support library.
