Hello all,
I need to know if I can add a Call history icon/shortcut to my Viva, wm6.5 (Rom: Evo 2.5A)
I searched here on XDA and on Google, and found alot of solutions that only includes TouchFlo 3D, but not 2D.
So, anyone has any idea how can such solutions be possible for Manila 2D under WM 6.5 ??
I already found the solution!
Simply download the attached file and extract it, copy callhistory.exe to anywhere in your device (ex. on Widnows folder, or My Documents)
I copied it to My Documents in my case, just not to wait for Windows folder to load
Then use Manila 2D Config tool, M2DC (Just search M2DC on the forum to download it if you don't already have it)
Use M2DC to create assign one of the softkeys (either the left or the right one) to the new callhistory.exe
Go to Softkeys tab in M2DC, browse to the folder where you copied callhistory.exe into, and select the file, choose a name for your shortcut, then clikc apply. And that's it.
I replaced the left softkey, the one was previously assigned to Phone, to be my new call history shortcut

It's not to be installed, just move it to your phone, and run it from there (not from your PC)
It'll open the call history

I searched the forum and understand how to open rar'ed programs using your homecomputer, but is it possible to use pocket rar, to extract the cabs from a rar file? if so how? I am stuck at work and am trying to install a game or two.

Just install the PocketRAR CAB onto your device and then run it. You can then associate then RAR files with PocketRAR using the settings.

yeah its pretty easy lol if you downloaded pocket RAR from rarlab.com though then you need to run the exe from your computer while your phone is connected through activesync but if you want just the cab go to freewarepocketpc.net or just search PocketRAR CAB

ok i have the manilla editor, and i know how to use it but, i dont understand how to edit the images and get them back to the format they need to be. i was told to export the icons from my phone for backup.which i dont know how to do..so i decided to skip it and try on a ready-made set. I opened in manilla editor then export to PNG and edit in Photoshop but now how do i get them back in the manilla editor? and i need to know how to backup my originals?..i have a sprint htc touch pro rom ver. 1.03 which i think is irrelevant but whatever..Thanks for the help in advance!

first if your manila is cooked in your original files will be there on the device if you delete the modified file, but if you want copy all files in windows with manila ext. to a folder on pc to back up. Next, just go to the original file you modded using manila editor and choose to replace it, choose directory your modded image is in and replace. beware though some images in sprint and att tf3d are a little tricky.
do you knwo which manila file is the the email background?

on your computer, goto control panel, folder options, from there unselect "hide operating system files" or "hide protected files" and you will be able to see the windows folder on your phone
I downloaded a program, and it does not need to be installed, its a self executing .exe program, I need a shortcut to it in the Programs tab in touch-flo 3d. When i go to add a program, it is not there in the Programs list, yet i can use file explorer and use it.
Im using Itje's Touch-it 5.05. Thanks

you need to create a shortcut to it..
here's a hint..
Search for "create a shortcut", please please learn how to use the search function the google option is pretty good..
I would like to introduce in one .cab/.zip file the hexagonal start menu files compatible with WM 6.5 and 240x240 screens (like the Treo 750). The hexagonal start menu was removed from some WM 6.5 installations and now you can reinstall it.
Comes in two versions, with and without border.
.cab instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Copy the .cab file to your device.
3) Locate the .cab file on your device using Total Commander, or Resco Explorer.
4) Run the .cab file and let it install. Accept OVERWRITE if prompted.
5) Soft reset your device!
.zip instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Unzip the .zip file to your place of choice.
3) Browse your device, and copy and paste the files to your phone or SD card.
4) Use Total Commander, or Resco Explorer to locate where you placed the files and COPY/OVERWRITE all three files to the \Windows directory on your device.
5) Soft reset your device!
When your phone is finished booting open your start menu and enjoy some hexagons
thanks
I will give it try...

Or not, it just doesn't work...

Am I doing anything wrong?

There was a problem with the .cab software I was using and it stripping the information from the .cpr files. I have re-uploaded the files in .zip format and changed the instructions. Try it again I promise it will work! This new way is more manual work, but it is very easy to do. I recommend using Total Commander as linked above. When in Total Commander select all three files and select copy, then browse to your \Windows directory and select paste. It will ask you to overwrite a file, select YES. After you are done, soft reset your phone.
Updated with working .cab files, feel free to download and install them!
great work
I've just instaled the .cab of the one with borders, and it's just sweet...
it's just beatiful... I RECOMEND it

Thank you! If there is enough interest I will make different shapes/colors/FX as well!
Will this work on a 240x320 device? I'm guessing no since you labeled it 240x240. Just wondering, I would like to try it out.
What is the difference between with or w/o border? What border?

I made that same question to my self, and just tryed both...
with borders you have the hexagon and borders highligted, on the one with no borders you just have the hexagon... you will not experience memory problems since the memory used to make the hexagons is the same used by windows to highligt the icons on the start menu...
I prefer the one with borders if you want to know

Mobile Office
I notice that there is no office installed with this ROM. When I tried to update my Office to 6.1, it would not install because it was not currently on. Is there a way to install a previous version so I can do the update?
Aside from that, I am liking this 6.5. I had 6.1 and it didn't look any different from the previous 6.0. I am using an unlocked Cingular 750 on the T-Mobile network. I have been using a Black Dash, which I loved the Kavana ROM on!
You can get office from here

What he means by that is that you need to create a shortcut. As simple as that.

it absolutely does
I have to translate to English, but in your Explorer it should be like:
Mobile Device - My windows mobile-based device - Windows ...
that doesnt show all the files though

sure?
can you pls add an example? after a very quick see-through I'm inclined to disagree
maybe you should check the following setting in your windows explorer:
Tools - Folder Options... - View (tab) - Files and Folders - Display xxx... option settings, maybe something required is unchecked there
