Manilla 2D skinning nightmare! - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

Arrrgghhh I am having nothing but a complete nightmare trying to skin my Kaiser. Having spent two days at it I have had to hard reset and sprite restore my phone over 6 times and I am getting really fed up with it.
I am used a cooked ROM with Manilla 2D already on it, it's Hyperdragon IV Iolite ROM (6.1)
I follow the instructions to the letter but all that results is after applying the skin I am stuck with no TouchFLO. I tap on it to launch but nothing happens and I am stuck with a kaiser that has no TouchFLO. I haved tried loads of different themes, be it in cab form or copying the ZIP folder contents directly to the windows directory and the end result is always the same, a useless TouchFLO disabled 6.1 device. Even using M2DC to restore the default backup theme doesn't work.
Any suggestions, I am getting really fed up with this.

Hard Reset?
Or try to install another Theme to see if you can get it to work again.
Btw. You don't have Operator or Myfaves, cause the don't work.

I've hard reset it 6 times. I've had to do this as I had no way to recover the M2D even after trying to use the back up. Not sure what Operator or Myfaves are but I don't have them.

Thats because if you try and enable either of those two plugins, it will break touchflo, also you are trying to use an Iolite manilla so you need a skin for Iolite manilla, most skins are for the standard manilla 2d and may not work if used on the Iolite manilla, this may be why manilla is breaking and refusing to start!

manilla2d issues with funcontact and sms-chat

Hey guys, I just installed manilla 2d and I realized it doesnt use vito technology's funcontact and sms-chat programs by default. I would love to keep manilla 2d if i can have it use funcontact and sms-chat by default. I got frustrated it was using the default contact program and text messaging program, and so i tried to remove the manilla 2d program but it didnt work (i tried 3x).
So if there is a way to get it to use sms-chat and funcontact by default ill keep manilla 2d otherwise should i just do a hard reset and remove all the bloatware?
i think theres no chance of replacing the default sms in m2d as of now, maybe in the future i guess...
how do i remove the manilla 2d app from my fone.... with a hard reset? I tried removing it from the settings> remove programs but it wont remove succesfully

Succesfully Removing Manilla 2D

Hey guys,
I liked the Manilla 2d, but i got frustrated since most of the functions wont use my default apps and since most of the functions utilize a data connection which im not paying for. I tried remove the app. However, some of the logos on the start menu still show up from the old manilla 2d theme. Occasionally the vibrate icon will be the M2D version which is annoying because it has a separate layout I dont like.
I tried to remove the M2D by using the settings> system>remove programs, but it fails after trying for like 10 minutes. So what I did was I went to start>settings>system>today and I unchecked touchflo and i checked HTC Home and HTC Home Plugin, but now I still see the volume control from manilla 2d. Help me get rid of Manilla.
Side Note: Manilla 2d is a great theme, but Im only on a unlimited messaging plan so i cant make use of the weather, maps, and youtube functions. Furthermore it refuses to use my defaulted contact manager or text messaging manager.
Use a ROM without M2D.
Info is helpful...what ROM are you using?
I hate to be this guy, but i used a hard reset to get rid of my M2D and now it runs just fine. Remember to back everything up and you'll be ok. Take the jump! :]

This sounds like it might be the only option at this point. Might I recommend PIM Backup to back up all of your info.
As stated in the M2D thread "IF YOU USE THESE BETA FILES EXPECT TO DO HARD RESETS EACH TIME A NEW UPDATE COMES OUT"
This would apply to uninstalling M2D as well.

Home Screen Software

sorry in advance... i'm new to this, i'm sure it's in the forum somewhere but i've looked everwhere but i can't find it. i'm looking for software that i can install in my phone that would make my homescreen look like this(pic below) without flashing my ROM. i had the same software for my 8525 when i had it but it got stolen.
anything like this would help. thanks!
looks like Manilla 2D or 3D
search for manila 2d cab

While Nandowong is correct, it is well known that actually using a rom with Manilla 2d cooked into is actually much more responsive. If you install the cab file it may act too laggy for your liking. I use 2D now from Laurentius26 Here and It is much faster than when i was experimenting with my own cooked ROM. There are things Chefs have done to optimize Manilla in a clean rom.
Just my advise, but I would back up your info and flash an actual M2D rom. There are a few to choose from and I am sure once you go to Manilla you will never again want to use any other home screen
Here is the link to the original Manilla 2D just in case you havent found it yet.

WM 6.5 Titanium today plugin?

I've done a google search and found nothing so I was wondering if there was a WM 6.5 titanium today plugin cab out there? I have some important medical software that won't work on any cooked ROMs except stock but I still wanted to play with the new home screen

I was searching as well. But couln't find it.
You have to have WM6.5 before you can get the WM6.5 homescreen. There is not cab file that will make it work with WM6.1 at this time.
Could someone turn it into a panel or something instead maybe?

From 6.1 to 6.5 help

Hello guy,
Which nice guy wants to help me to install on my XPERIA WM6.1 to 6.5 but very detailed.
Care roman ma ajuta sa trec de la 6.1 la 6.5.
Thx
ummmm
reading the stickies or the million other threads with the same title might help
A standard answer to this question from my side is here.
Not much related to the main question but:
I am still sticking with 6.1 because i like the HTC Manilla start menu replacement over Windows default programs menu, and with all 6.5 ROM's there is always the Win6.5 HoneyComb start menu.
is there any way to re-enable HTC manilla programs on WinMo6.5?
I am not really sure if I understand your question correctly...
Manila is the user i/f of HTC, not a part of WinMo.
For some older Manila versions, there exist cab files to install HTC apps on WinMo.
However, speed will be much faster if you flash a ROM with WinMo and Manila inside.
There are quite a few nice 6.5 ROMs with either Manila 2.1 or 2.5 - while you
might prefer 2.1 because this one usually has the program tab separate.
On the other hand, WinMo 6.1 ROMs still feel faster, imho, and the latest ones
do come with the latest Manila 2.1, too.
What i meant is the start menu (upper left windows icon) of the Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5, in the 6.1 Manilla can replace it with it's applications launcher, which is usually just a tab of manilla, while on WinMo 6.5 i found no roms that can replace it, WinMo6.5 will still have it's start menu programs launcher...
Well, ok then.
WinMo 6.5 does not have any start menu which is comparable to 6.1 - it is replaced by the honeycomb screen.
If you do not like Manila, but search a program launcher like the tab in Manila, you might try other apps for WinMo, such as PointUI.

It's the contrary, i like only Manilla and don't want windows's honeycomb, i want a way to let manilla replace the honeycomb as it did in winmo 6.1.

Well, that´s what all ROMs with Manila do.
Whatever you install, as long as it comes with Manila, no need to use WinMo
(at least in most cases).

Not all, the roms that have WinMo 6.1 and Manilla it can be done, the manilla will replace the standard start menu with it's programs tab, removing the tab from the tabs bar. While on roms with 6.5 (at least those up to 1 month ago) didn't do it, the start button opened the WinMo6.5 honey comb even with Manilla installed and working, the programs launcher is just a tab on Manilla....

nope, that is not always the case

Whatever you mean, mate.
Maybe it is just a misunderstanding here. Just keep searching what you need, and either you will find a ROM, or a registry tweak.
I think what he wants is for the WM6.5 start button to launch the Manila programs tab, and not the 6.5 honeycomb start menu.
McByte: older 6.1 TF3D ROMs (or some of the newer ones, depending on the chef) launch the default 6.1 Start Menu (like Windows 98/XP) when you click on the start button.
You can ask the chefs if the can integrate the Programs tab to the WM6.5 start button, but I don't think it's possible. That feature comes from the Manila it was ripped from (e.g. Rhodium/Topaz vs. TP2/Leo). HTC provided that feature since the default 6.1 start menu was not finger friendly. 6.5 start menu is, so they didn't bother putting that in.
