Well, to start out, thank you all for this excellent resource that is XDA-Developers, without which I'd be left virtually without a clue.
I have an ATT Fuze that has had light modifications to it (skip the bloat, advance config tweaks to my preference but no performance tweaks yet) and I tried to add the call history tab using Advanced Config 3.3.0's Touchflo3d configuration page.
Bad idea.
My phone no longer displays the Home tab's contents (it shows the tab, but nothing on the screen--no flip clock, alarm status, nothing).
In my infinite wisdom, I neglected to backup the 26948339_manila file before I allowed Advanced Config to mangle it.
I have tried the following:
soft-resetting the phone
using winmerge to check the diff between my file and other people's 26948339_manila file
installing the 1d1ee*something*_manila file that was supposed to enable the call history tab
Interestingly enough, I don't think the problem lies in my 269*whatever*_manila file, as it doesn't seem to be much different than those posted on the 'net' (but maybe that's the problem, since I have a Fuze and the Advanced Config tool corrupted it.)
Attached is my 269..._manila (I give up trying to type that over and over) file that doesn't work. Is there anyone who can help me or at least point me in the right direction? I'm so sad that I killed my clock... it's the most useful feature of my phone!
Thank you soo much in advance!
Update: I've tried more people's 26948339_manila files still with nothing working...
What other files does Advanced Config change when you edit the tabs?
I may have to hard reset my precious device, but I'd really hate to have to do that..
Please help?
Thank you again
I think skipping the bloat will give you problems with TF3D from what I heard. There are files that need to be installed.

Try loading Diamond TF3D Config and then click the "Restore Default" button in the Appearance tab. That should return your TF3D to the default without a hard reset.
Okay, I didn't wanna mess with that since I have a custom TF3D theme (HTC Black) installed... but at this point I figure there's nothing left to lose.
Thank you! I'll try that as soon as I get home (I took my other phone today... didn't wanna try hacking it during class
Update: ITS ALIVE AGAIN!!
Thank you INTV for your suggestion, it seems to have cured my Fuze!
I'm going to hold off on installing my manila theme (HTC Black) again because it has some issues with the landscape shortcuts and other miscellaneous things... is there a theme that looks like the Touch Pro stock theme that is recommended?
Once again-- thank you for your help!

I have seen a few people remove the envelope so you can read more on the email preview. ITNV sent me 2 manila files and they worked like a charm. I'm using Herg's V6 Flip clock TF3D, so I haven't tested on stock Fuze or other TF3D themes. I would highly suggest you use Total Commander and back up the 2 manila files that are in your windows folder, then copy these to see if they work.
My basic steps, I used total commander, and looked in the windows director and found the 2 manila files and copied them as a backup.
77fb7fad_manila
21449ae5_manila
I went to settings, Today and turned OFF TF3D.
Then I took these 2 manila files that are the same name (and came from ITNV-Thank you) and copied them to the windows directory and clicked overwrite.
I then went back to settings, Today and turned ON TF3D and bam, the envelope is now behind the message, and I can read the a lot more than 2 lines. I've been looking for this for a while, hope it can help you as it has me.

The envelop was behind, however I only saw two lines of text still. Can post a pic and also did you do anything else beside replacing the files
Sorry
I got these files from ITNV, and he said he was pretty sure this got it done for him, no guarantees. Sorry if this didn't work. All I did was write these files over the files that were in my windows folder.
These are the files I had backed up before making the change. "I am using Herg Flip Clock V6" Not sure if the theme or TF3D you are using might make a difference.
Thanks. Great find. Here's a cab that I tested and it works for me. You still have to follow the directions and TURN OFF TF3D BEFORE INSTALLING and I still advise saving a copy of the manila files before installing. I have attached a cab as well as a photo to show what it looks like once installed. I did experience a lock when turning TF3D back on that required a soft reset and then turning TF3D back on but there were no other performance issues once restarted. These cabs do nothing more than add the files cparkhorn provided. There is a cab to remove the envelope and another one to add the envelope back. Thanks again
Edit: Seems to be working so I posted something on it here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1828
Thanks again
Worked as stated, thanks for the cab btw it made the process that much easier
Thanks for testing - those guys did the hard work of figuring it out...I just made a cab of their work

you must have a different version of TF3D (or at least different manilla files in play). Did you confirm that you do in fact have these two manila files on your Diamond? I want to make sure it was overwriting a file and not just adding one new one and over writing one...
Thanx, this works fine with ROMeOS from monx 1.704 Ger Version...

Hi!
I've just seen some of all the beautiful themes out there and wanted to try one out! I got the .theme-file and all, opened TF3D config, found the correct file, but when i press "start" the phone freezes! It's stock at "changing registry"!
This can't be good, I have changed a TINY bit in the registry, but nothing major, and the phone has been working great! I really want a different theme for my phone, but I can't figure out what's wrong? Any ideas???
All help is appreciated!!!!

In TF3D Config. when you open the file do you see a file called "O" Tweaks? If so try to delete that then try it. Sometimes that tweak section cause's problems and it isn't really used.

Where should that be, exactly? Under the "tweaks"-tab? If you are talking about the list of themes, then I only see the two .themes-files I have stored on the phone... But it must be something with the registry, don't you think?
Hi guys.
I'm new to the Windows Mobile world and only got my Xperia X1 a couple of weeks back. I want to get the TouchFLO 3D interface on there.
However, I want to use CABs which allow me to switch to the TF3D interface and back out again to Xperia, rather than using a cooked rom.
I've looked around and at first it seemed fairly simple, but then the installation wouldn't work because the file didn't have certification security (or something like that).
I've seen articles saying you have to install older versions first, and almost all seem to point to cooked roms.
Does anybody know of a way to install the TF3D interface from a CAB file, and be able to switch in and out of it, like you can do with Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1?
I have Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1 and Spb Weather installed, but I really want the TF3D interface... the weather animations on it are absolutely amazing!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Sonny
If you check out the stickies in this section, one of them is all about programs, panels and tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
Going through it, there is a specific one about installing TF3D as a cab and then running it as a panel.
Wow! Thanks Zenith.
Just managed to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila.cab and then TF3DPanelInstaller.CAB.
Works a charm. Exactly what I was after.
I'm now going to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab and see how the applications work.
Thanks again for guiding me in the right direction, very much appreciated.

Issues With Right Selection Button
Not sure if this is a known and shared issue. Is anybody else having the following problem..?
After installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, my right-hand selection button (the one above the OK button) is not working correctly. E.g. on the Today screen, it does not take you to 'Contacts'.
The left-hand selection button is fine, and it does correctly take you to the 'Phone' screen.
The right hand button is functioning though, but it seems to just be working like the 'Hang-up' button. If I go into an app and press it, it takes me back to the Today screen, and the app remains open in the task manager.
I got a little worried and decided to revert back to the original setup of my phone by using Sony's update tool. The right-hand selection button began to work fine again. After re-installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, I've got the problem again.
I'm guessing this may be down to a registry change. Anybody have any idea if and how you could change this through the registry, and which regkey to amend? Or is there a tweak/fix for this issue?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sonny
Sorted Button Issue
Hmm, after checking the button settings again, it turns out the Right Selection button was set to Today. Removed the selection... sorted.

this is a known problem for tf3d. correct me if im wrong but all the cabs and cooked roms has this issue. sure you can assign the button in settings but after you turn phone off or reset tf3d it will always reset right button to today.
untick tf3d 1st then extract and paste in windows directory and your problem will be solved. hope that works for ya

So this is to enable the right button to be assigned? Hmm.... kind of remember having that problem but somehow it was solved. Think with B2 of Daran's cab.
ManilaToday.dll Fixed The Issue!
Thanks Himuraken!
The ManilaToday.dll fixed the issue. Replaced the one in my Windows directory and now I don't have to change the button settings after a reboot.
And just for the record, Ipporek, I have Daran's B3 CAB and I was still getting the issue before Himuraken provided me with this ManilaToday.dll.
Problem sorted, now to look at installing the essential software cabs for TF3D. Installed Youtube yesterday, seems to work okay. Will check out some of the others later.

glad it work for you. i forgot to mention that credit goes to the person that provided this in the touch itJe v7 thread. not sure who it was so please forgive me.
Hi, it is my first post in a long time. Now I'm Xperia user.
I tried to download the today.dll but the link is gone. Additionally, my manila is not working: for some unexplained reason the program keeps trying to enter but did not succeed. It starts and then restart without opening.
Can somebody help me? I'm not inclined to try a Rom with manila for in that case I lose the "Ç" key and the letter recognition.
I use the Brazilian Sony Rom version from April 23, 2009.
Thanks, in advance!
Manila not working on Brazilian Xperia
Hi, this is my first post in a very long time. I tried to install this on my Xperia but got 2 errors:
1 - the right hard key problem and the file Today.dll is no more available at the said link
2 - the manila tries to start but does not enter. It keeps restarting but to no avail!
Please, some help is in order! I use brazilian Sony Rom and a cooked Rom is not na option since I would loose the hard "Ç" key and the on screen letter recognizer.
Also, I could not put the "Transcriber" to work.
Thanks

Well I think its fairly apparent that M$ is not going to make a newer style native dialer for 6.5 so we may be stuck with the same dialer from the WM5 days.
Is anyone willing to redesign the layout of WM dialer? We have several different skins, but I think a new layout is whats needed for 6.5, perhaps to mimic the HTC dialer, or perhaps different.
Any takers?
Edit: I will update the first post and add in everything that we can come up with for easy access. Thanks to all who support.
+1 for this. Not sure if the layout can be chnged yet, but maybe some skin to make it look changed. Is there some existing skins for this somewhere already?

+1 for the layout change though. There is some unused space at the top that I don't like. The number buttons are not quite finger friendly either. IMO.
Maybe we coud post a zip with all the stock images and reg entries to make it easy on skinners. Can someone put together a zip with all of this stuff and Adam can link it in first post?
I will most likely have a look at this too, but busy at the time being. I'd like to make it look like the HTC dialer, and then go from there.
Not sure if this is the same dialer, but there are a few skins for stock dialer at www.skinzone.org. They were from 6.1, so not sure if they would still work.
EDIT: I gathered up the images real quick, but didn't get the registry yet. Let me know if you think I missed an image.

Sure thing, I will update the first post and add in everything that we can come up with for easy access. Hopefully people will see that something is being done and will join in. It may not hurt to contact some good people with photoshop skills either like Herg and bilbobrian.
Edit: After thinking about it, we may get better coverage if this was moved to the Development and Hacking forum.
I wish they would make the dialer the same as how they have the dial pad for the lock screen...that would be sweet if somebody could make a skin or dialer like that:

i'll take a crack at it later tonight after work...its been bugging me too.
That would be awesome... and I know we can expect something good from you, you always seem to post top knotch applications/themes/tweaks.
Hi,
Attached is something that I quickly knocked up to make the WM6.5 dialer look a bit more like the lock screen when in a call.
I hope that it is useful.

Matt, what is the file attached. I noticed the different default theme pictures in the folders, but I am not sure how this file should be used. Is it a program that allows you to choose a theme? If so, which file to you run and do you run from pc over activesync or from the device itself?
If you extact it on your PC, the directories are for cooking and if you run the "make_cabs.bat" you should get a folder called cabs with installable cab files that will change the phone's skin. You need to soft reset to get the phone to use them after you install the cab (or copy the files over in Resco Explorer from the folder of your choice.)
(see attachments - I am using the Blue Drop theme)
big thanks

I doubt this is your problem, but I had to put it out there.
just to let everyone know, i am working on something, I'm toying with going with squared-off buttons (see 6.5 calc for an example) or the lockscreen-esque rounded buttons (similar to mpattman). should have some time this weekend to really polish it.

Hello, I'm sort of a noob when it comes to this stuff but I'm absolutely sick of the AT&T logo being the background of all my TouchFlo tabs. Problem is, I can't get any of the theming utilities to work. Diamond TF3D Config crashes on start up and Manilla Customizer 0-9 just doesnt work. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

You have to find themes compatible for your Manila version.
Since you are on stock ROM, you will have an older version.
Version found in Settings\System\Device Info\Software or there about.
I can't seem to find it but I have the feeling its 2.1, I'm also having an extremely hard time finding themes.
Actually, I'd be more than happy if there was just a way to replace the AT&T wallpaper somehow without theming. Is it a picture file hidden somewhere on the device?
Found the image file. ATT_stwater_480_800. Unfortunately, it won't let me replace it. Welp, back to square one.

If you're copying from your PC; connect as hard drive, use My Mobiler or Pocket Controller to overwrite the file.
stwater will be your start menu, tdwater is your Today wallpaper.
Also (can't remember back to 2.1 ) can you go to right soft key (Menu?) Home wallpaper or Settings tab\Personalize\Home Wallpaper?
