What EXACTLY is a cookie home tab?? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok..i recently flahsed a Genesis ROM that CLEARLY said its WITHOUT a CHT..
AKA Cookie Home Tab...
When I flash it, THERE!! The icons are still very much there...So WHAT exactly IS a cookie home tab....
From what I uderstand, this is a cookie home tab in the attached pic..
PLz help me with this confusion!!

No. This is Manilla 2.5 from Leo. If you don't want this quicklaunch icons take manilla 2.1.
CHT is tool for changing layout of widgets in hometab of manilla. Like this :

Oh...thanx
I really thought CHT only meant the icons I have marked in the attached jpg..so NO CHT means these icons will remain but NOT the CHT...right??

what you have marked there are the standard quicklinks from Sense.
click on one, and you get the option to link to an app, contact etc.
It you want to remove a link, you click on the soft-menu "menu", which gives you that option, as well as some other Sense options.
So that's all Sense functionality.
As mentioned, CHT allows you to move widgets (eg clock, calendar etc) around the page - with just Sense, you don't get that option.

This looks cool, but you should probably edit the first post with the resolutions this is for.

Updated!
Added Android Dialer
Theme is wonderful, but there is no difference in titanium. I think so you not included the titanium theme.
Hi Drmad
My impression for the new version:
1- start menu 4 columns: I prefer the original 3 col.
2- no magnifier
3- no change in the dialer
4- icon for reception level truncated
Thank you for your work

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.

How to change analogue clocks?

I'm using CHT and would like to change the analogue clock (there are so many cool ones!), but simply running the cab won't work.
After googling a lot about it, i've read that you can have only one clock file uner Windows dir, is that true?
Any help would be appreciated.

No, you can have one digital and one analog, the trick is to install before CHT.

i don't mind having ONE clock at a time; the case is that i can't load ANY
the cabs just seem not working (i choose "install on device")

Do they give you an installation error or do the just not show up when you are switching clocks in CHT interface?
..and yes, always install clocks to device.

Yeah, I figured as much.
If you have a look at Cookie's thread, I believe it does state that you have to install clocks first then CHT.
or... the specfic clock may not be compatable with your Manila version.
I would backup your CHT settings, then uninstall it, install the clock to your stock manila, see if it displays, then re-install CHT.
I hate to say it but if that doesn't work, you may want to hard reset and repeat the sequence.

how can you switch analogue clocks in default sense 2.5 ?
btw, i'm picking clocks from this list and make sure they are for wm6.5 (not 6.5.x)

Ok, those are the clocks I use so that shouldn't be an issue.
There is no way AFAIK to switch between clocks in Sense 2.5, one just overrides the other, but both digital and analog clocks are still there.
When I install to a fresh ROM, ALL manila tweaks install first, the CHT and everything works fine.

[Q] Troubles with CHT and addons

Hi,
I post here, hoping is the right place.
I've just flash'd my Blackstone with the latest Energy rom with CHT 2.0. Then I've installed Co0kie home tab 2.0
Now, i've some troubles: when i lock/unlock the device i can see a small portion of the default wallpaper (I think it is under the WP selected with CHT) and the home tab 2.0 softkeys covered by the rom taskbar when i click on it.
Also, the meteo animations are cutted on the bottom :/
Any suggestions?
Also, I'm trying to have an eyecandy device, so... any CHT addons to suggest?
I'm looking for a similar TypoPhone 4 for my lockscreen, softkeys etc

[Q] All different types of Skins

Excuse me XDA members for my question.
I saw a lot of app to customize WinMo (taken from HTC and other...)
What are the following things???
---Touch Flo 2D
---Touch Flo 3D
---Touch Flo HD
---Touch Flo HD v.2
---Xperia x1 panels
---Manila 2D
---Manila 3D
---Cookie's Home Tab
Which is the best? Where can I download the latest version?
My phone has WVGA Resolution, but the screen is landscape...
---I know Wisbar Advance and Wisbar Advance Desktop.
Which are your favourite themes for this programs? (especially for WVGA).
---I know SPB Mobile Shell and a lot others.
Which are your favourite themes for this programs? (especially for WVGA).
Co0kie Home Tab is a modifciation of manila3d, and it makes the home screen very customizable with the ability to have many widgets, swype screen left and right, up and down, and easy modify graphics elements in the screen. But I am not sure if manila3D can be installable in your device. You can get the EXT packages from this kitchen and try. Once you have manila3d (also called HTC Sense) you can try to install Co0kie Home Tab from here. But again, I do not know if this will work in your device.
Thanks poyensa,
I wait for others comment from other XDA members...
Samsung also has TouchWiz on the Omnia series of Windows Mobile phones.
Thanks kjliev
I think TouchWiz is the customization included in Omnia 2...
But the others?...
I want the skin in this image!
What is it? Can I download it? (also in landscape)
It also change dialer and other things?
what you want exactly? is this image from your device and you want to modify it? then you need to provide the manila version you have installed; or you want to import the skin to your device?

I think that slider icons belongs to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=726996. That slider works in HTC Sense (manila 2.5) You can dump the files with any cab manager tool (see here)
To convert the manila files to png format (and viceversa) you may need CFC GUI or TF3D manila mode9 editor
If you want to apply that cab directly to your device you need to have manila 2.5 installed in your device. I remember some links to a manila 2.5 cab made by jmart518, but the best way should be cooking it in your rom. Some ext package should still be available in XDA. I know manila 2.5 had been ported to some non HTC devices (omnia2). If not possible you can try with manila 2.1.

Thanks Poyensa, I was looking for this.
But I think this time you wronged : there is no need to modify Manila, just install the right version.
I read about a software to configure Manila (it seems to me that without it Manila don't start at all).

Yes but look here & here. Manila2D was done for qvga devices, so all inslatallation on wvga devices strat from qvga then apply some fix for realignment. Specially this thread is for manila2D on X1 which was wvga (800x480). In fact you should look into x1 forum as there was a huge development there and they even had working last verisons of manila3D (HTC Sense)
