Slider skins w/ diff ROM builds - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So recently I tried applying different slider skins and icons on a few different ROMs and builds (EnergyROMs: cookie23121/23673, standard23121/23673, dinikglass23569/23121/23673 -- Dutty's: HG r15-23569 and Nu Era Redemption23128)
Does anyone know why the home icon randomly doesn't show on certain builds of the same ROM? could it have something to do with CHT? I always thought the slider was specific to the manila version. Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? I can't remember which energy versions it worked on but The slider skin shown in the screenshots is Elegancia Mambo V..
The screenshot on the left is from Dutty's Nu Era v1 and the one on the right is Energy Cookie 23673 july 30th.

The skins must be compatible with the exact manila version

That's what I thought. But why does every slider I've tried work on dutty's Nu Era and creme de la creme even though they're meant for earlier versions of manilla and half of them don't work with EnergyROMs? And the ones that do work on energy w/ latest sense 2017 are meant for versions like 2012? (like the slider and dialer attached below)
is there another variable here?
Thanks for the reply.

What I am refering to is the Black Color Dialer on Pearl v 2.5 WWE by Panosha.
This should have been posted in the Theming section of the Blackstone.
The artwork you talk about is the taskbar from Dutty's ROM.
It can be found in the Additional CAB's section of Dutty's website.

I know what you mean and I would be interested in the same thing if possible.
My HD is neon blue and black using Dutty 3.2, the grey dialler and green highlights just ruin it
I have a cab for the panosha black dialler but as far as i'm aware it won't work on a dutty rom because of the conference call additions etc, i think he uses a topaz/rodium dialler which has a different skin layout.
check this not my work thanks too Bysio http://rapidshare.com/files/229116103/Black_Dialer.rar.html

Do Any TF3D2 (Manilla 2.5) Roms work in Landscape?

Ive been messing around, got one rom that works partially in landscape although glitches on a few imput fields.
The NRG roms seem most stable, but only the ones with original TF3D
Anyone have any thoughts on a good rom that I will be able to do the most with landscape wise? Basically just imput fields, texting, etc.
I swear to God if i see one more thread about this...... Manila 2.5 DOES NOT WORK IN LANDSCAPE. Its not the ROM its the Manila from HTC. The only screens that work is pictures and music.

How about for texting and web browsing? I would think those are separate then from the Manilla UI.
What about the ROMS that have SENSE UI? Is that just a "skin" or will the UI work in landscape with the similar feel of Manilla?
The Sense UI now extends to Manila 2.1 and those do have landscape. The 2.5 versions doesn't have landscape. The Sense UI that is related to manila is still manila and only works in landscape on 2.1. If you are referring to skins that modify pointui or spb mobile those are just skins. Texting outside of manila should have landscape and so should opera.

Ok thanks! I really like the weather clock and the way the email feels in manilla 2.5.
NRG Photon Rom has the Weather Clock
I have accepted the landscape problem with 2.5 since this version of manilla first emerged, but it has always puzzled me. My understanding is that 2.5 is basically for the HD2/Leo, right? So does this mean that the HD2 does not have landscape for manilla tabs (other than pics and music)?
In all the video reviews of the HD2 I have seen to date, none actually show the reviewer rotating the phone on the homescreen.
I have never cooked a ROM so perhaps this is a dumb question....but if any chefs can shed some light on why it does not work I would be grateful.
Thanks

yeah but its not the same as, the LEO for instance, where the cloiuds come from all over the screen, or the moonlight beams in from the corner of the device

The manila files and scripts just don't have that functionality. I do not think the LEO has landscape. Give it time.. Remember the original manila didn't really have a landscape either.

Im downloading Photon as we speak. If this works, ill be thrilled.. if only I could change the mail tab icon to the envelopes instead of the ugly mailbox and get the whole email view like on 2.5
If I do use a manilla 2.5 rom, is their landscape support in apps or when forming emails?
In photon there is an app called G-Config under Start Menu/Utilities. You can select what functions you want to autorotate there and problem solved.

awesome! Thanks man.
So essentially I can use photon with manilla 2.5 - and just turn on rotate for email/text/internet?
Only things that use manilla would be the email/text previews and the home screen right?
Yeah you can go with Leo and have the added features of 2.5 and just select what programs you want to rotate other than Manilla.
I still have a problem with text entry in facebook - The keyboard doesnt do anything but shake the screen in landscape mode
Can't help you there as I am one of the few people in the world with no facebook

Is that gyrator? It can be installed in any ROM!
Any yes Manila 2.5 does not work in landscape, and it has been discussed zilliion times....
This guy and his ROM (for SE Xperia) has landscape support for Manila 2.5 : http://htcpedia.com/rotastrains_manila2_5_landcape/soft/sony-x1-rom.html
Dont know how he did it, but it can be done. Ive seen nothing lie this for the Touch Pro 2.

[REF] Updated 2-OCT: Latest 6.5 and 6.5.x builds and Manila builds for Rom selection

For those like me that could be confused about the latest builds when searching for a new ROM, I’d like to share what I found after a long search.
There are several different branches of development. Higher number doesn't mean a newer version.
6.5 Builds:
These builds have the 'Start' and 'Ok' buttons on top.
a) 219xx = COM2, WM 6.5.0
The latest build is the 21916.
These builds don't include finger friendly buttons, but it's the most stable, less memory demanding, fast and the one which is giving no problems with WM6.1 software. All programs I works perfect (activesync, Tomtom, games, etc.) including those for older WM versions.
The development of the WM 6.5 is finished.
6.5.x builds:
These builds have big Start and Ok buttons at the bottom of screen, and much more finger friendly.
Main programs works work ok but some old programs have position problems.
b) 230xx = COM3, WM 6.5.3
The latest build I found is the 23153.
This is branch used by the 'official' 6.5.3 devices.
These builds include finger friendly buttons, start button at the bottom and eye candy appearance.
I'm using (cooking) these builds for everyday use and they are stable and showing very good performance.
Last build was just released by DFT.
c) 290xx,
New branch.
The latest build I found is the 29022
It has good Ram management, it's stable and quite fast.
IE has flash support.
I've been using this branch for a few weeks with good results.
This branch is the only one active recently.
d) 216xx
The latest build I found was 21690
HTC branch development.
Good Ram management, stable and very snappy.
e) 236xx
The latest build I found is the 23699.
It seems to be very fast and stable.
f) 282xx
Latest build found was 28245
Apparently the latest builds are very stable and faster than other 6.5.x builds.
g) 24xxx
Latest build found is the 24635.
Seems to be fast, stable & visually appealing. Battery consumption seems very good as well.
Possible HTC branch
h) 235xx = COM5 [Discontinued]
The latest ROM I found is the 23569.
This is a development branch, finger friendly with new Outlook Interface and threaded email. It's not as stable as the COM2/3 builds.
The development on this branch seems to be finished.
i) other branches 6.5.x:
I found the 22047, 25028
Manila 2.5 builds (HTC Sense):
The latest one found is the build 2.5.2021 with manila home 2022.
Sense 2.5 is really great, even if it consume a lot of resuorces from your phone.
When selecting a ROM you will find:
- LEO Manila 2.5: It include all tabs (ereader, docs, footprints), but it's very slow on the blackstone.
- Rodhium Manila 2.5: this one is optimized for our old (slow) processor, it works on landscape mode, but it does not include eReader, docs and Footrint tab and some of the animations have been removed (music and pictures tabs on landscape). (note: you will find some hybrid versions based on the Rodhium manila with the missing tabs added. E.G: NRGZ28)
For the differences between Manila 2.1 and 2.5 check this post.
Manila 2.1 builds (HTC Sense):
The latest one found is the build 2.1.38411.0
Not as nice as the 2.5, but it's much faster and uses less memory.
HTC Packages:
From LEO: 3.14 (From TMUS HD2 including Manila 2.5.2018) .
From Rhodium: 2.10 (From ATT Tilt 2 including Manila 2.5.2013) .
From Oboe (Com3): 1.18 including Manila 2021
From Huasan (com3): 1.27
Pls feel free to comment about your experiencies on the different branches, and we will update the post.
Also I had a few questions/answers:
a) Does anyone know which is the WM6.5 build that is included on the devices which appear on the 6-oct? and which is the one found in the latest LEO?
Reply post #8: in Austria Samsung OMNIA II with WM 6.5 build 21856.5.0.65
b) Seen a lot of discussion about ‘page pool’. Is it something that normal users have to know, or is it just for cookers?
Reply post #8: Yes, you can improve the speed of the rom you're about to flash, but it will reduce the program memory
c) Why Manila (HTC TouchFlo/ Sense) can not be found as a Cab?
There are some developers which have created some instalable CABs, but as a general rule if you want to update your manila you need to flash a new ROM with the Manila version you want.

Thanks
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for info. Also looking for answers to your questions.
nice work
I wouldn't call those ugly fat buttons in the later versions "eye candy" though, seems people are split over how helpful they actually are, having tried them myself I found them to be unnecessarily large and wrecked the look of Manila. But each to his own I suppose, looks like that is the direction they are going with Windows 7
oh I believe the rtm version and the one on leo are the 218xx builds, they are far more stable and work well with Manila, you won't see any of the later fat button builds until next year at least.

Hmm... although the buttons at the bottom often don't look very nice - if they're skinned the right way, the do look great. And using MaxTTM to make the top and bottom bars transparent, it looks even better! And I just love that I no longer have to stretch my small hands all the way across the screen just to open the start menu or tap X ...
Interesting info, should shed some light for noobs and junior members alike.

The latest one I found is the 23064.
These builds include finger friendly buttons, start button at the bottom and eye candy appearance, but seems that the Roms cooked with this build still have bugs.
We can find a few Roms form PhamQuang of on this branch and also Miri has posted some test versions. Hellonasty too: Maryone V0.01, V0.02 and V0.03 (coming soon with "Manila 1920xx" according to his last post edit)
Also I have a few questions:

I skinned the buttons too, (or just use the htc black theme) but still think they are needlessly too big and push the rest of the screen up, and having start at the bottom just doesn't look as smart and spoils the symmetry, it's seems tacky and clumsy in my opinion since it was designed with Titanium in mind and not htc sense .
Personally I think they should put an option to have the large buttons in the "accessibility" or "ease of access" section in settings along with the large font size and text to speech options....
Just an update (if you want to insert it in the firt post): Manila 2.5 1920 is out.
Regards,
K
thanks...useful info in a single post...
pls keep it updated if you can
23016 and previous were not finger friendly ...
Nominated for a sticky if you ask me.

Hi Mameingast,
Can you please explain me how you have skinned these buttons? I have been looking for the names of these buttons, but couldn't find them.
I would appreciate a little help very much.
check out Miri's v29 roms.....they are 21869

Hey!
The way the buttons look is part of the WM-theme you choose. The one I use is called "htc black theme" (someone else here already mentioned that theme). With it, the buttons are no longer buttons but only the symbols - which already looks alot better to me.
And for the background including the bars you have to use MaxTTM (search for it in the theme section). It has a WM 6.5 option to get the background image to stretch behind the top and bottom bars as well: You have to open MaxTTM, head to the WM 6.5 tab and check a few boxes there. Since my HD is broken, I can't check the correct settings atm, but I'm sure someone else can help you with that! Also, there is a manual for MaxTTM which should include some useful information!
Thank you very much for your info. It is very useful for the junior like me.
Just some info to update the first post with: The screenshot attached is taken from Hellonasty's MaryOne v0.03 (which is bloody excellent by the way).
Good idea this thread. Hopefully, the OP will keep it updated.

Manila 2.1 Weather Clock?

I have been searching around for a while and haven't found the Manila 2.5 weather clock for our Manila 2.1 roms. I saw there was 2.1 roms with the weather clock for the rhodium roms but nothing for the fuze. I know they successfully ported manila 2.5 for vga but Im looking for stability and the 2.5 still has a lot of bugs to work out. But has anybody seen the weather clock for our raphaels for manila 2.1?

Unfortunately, no. Devs are working on the project but are running into dependency issues. I think it's something that will happen in the near future, but hasn't happened yet. The ones that are "working" now are still buggy and aren't 100%. Sorry, I guess we'll just have to wait a bit longer.

WVGA or VGA?

Its designed for WVGA, but it is mostly operable on VGA. There's a pic a few posts ago that shows one of the issues. Another bug I found was after you would view a photo, the slider would be inaccessible.
Try it out though, it is able to be uninstalled via "Remove Programs".
Next time I install it, I'll post some pics.
All in all it is a great app/hack. Definitely helps cleanup your homescreen. Thanks Steve0007
Here are some screenshots of my VGA screen w/the mod.
I don't like how, in landscape, it moves the slider to the right side of the screen versus the far left where it was. As someone pointed out before, for VGA, the slider icon images are too high on the screen.
There is also a quick one second glitch in the slider bar (a white bar flashed on the screen for a sec.) when I open the keyboard on my Touch Pro and it turns to landscape.
I did not experience a loss of the slider after having viewed a photo through the Photos tab.
It is really cool looking though. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before someone makes a true VGA version.
+1 for a VGA version!
Love this mod!
How can I make mine transparant though?
