nice that they are making changes to it. hope its not just another skin modification or something
Hi
Aleluya,
it is your time to put the Ok button
down, it's easier .....
Thank you for the info!
I don't like this new UI,top and bot bars are increased and for Manila this is not a good things,HTC Task Manager icon is covered from the clock,MS moved left softkey to the middle and this way home screen became ugly...
I try this 23022 on my HD but i moved back to 23017 in 5 minutes...I hope MS will complete the new UI with a better look,IMHO,now,this is not the right way.
Which ROM base on Build 23022? i want to try

I can agree with you that it is not the prettiest of changes, however the fact that they are changing the UI proves that they have finally realized that the UI looks crap
Go here...at the end of the first post, there are 2 TEST versions

Thanks for the ROM Miri
Is this build not stable yet? Why is it Test version?
Because of the graphic glitches. If you have time test it and you will see what's going to come

That looks nice OK button was always a big problem for me it's to small and it's too damn far away from the thumbs when you operate with one hand.It's not maybe the best solution but definetly an improvement I don't want to try it cause it's too early version but what happens to the task button? I see that the clock is there so it's removed ?
hey miri is it gonna be a non-manila v or we wait 4 a stable build coz this one seems nice alot visual changes
Nope, 23022 is not ready for daily usage, we have to wait a little more

23022 and Manilla 2.5
Miri - I am big user of your Manilla 2.5 ROMs. Please share when you think you will drop a 23022 build combined with Manilla 2.5. Keep up the good work!
Now the important problem is manila 2.5 is not stable! not the WM6.5 if you dont use manila, you can enjoy the new version of WM.
But I think microsoft is not creative. HTC had made the WM more easy-operative and better apparence.
So, it is not microsoft but HTC which should optimize their work.
i really hate Window 6.5 UI. Just look and see at the home screen the top and bottom bar are transparent but when u go into setting or sms for example they turn into black. It's really baadddddddddddd . That's the reason why i choose to stay with 6.1 rom until now

Absolutely right
I really like the new WM6.5 UI. It is a definite improvement from WM6.1, despite the fact that I don't really like a 100% Touch interface. I like using my stylus too but this is in WM6.5 not an issue.
What I don't like is Manila. How can I disable it completely? I am not talking about Touch Flo but about Manila. I want to have the original WM6.5 experience...
There are soime rom called super light here where u can get only 6.5 experience without manila. But as i talked above u should stay with 6.1 because u will get dissappointed with 6.5 right after u use it

if yo want to disable manila goto settings->today->items and uncheck "TouchFlo 3D"
if you want to get the original wm6.5 experience you have to enable titanium which is microsofts new "desktop". you can enable it under settings->today->items and tick "Windows default".
This is the merge of MD (maldives) and Com3.
There are definitely many issues with the number of changes made and many of the new UI updates have no real skinned assets.
However, there are some fixes in 23022 and the native 480x800 resources help (the themes included also have reg settings which need to be applied).
X button replacements like HTC TaskManager have some issues, as do the Notification managers and enlarge start menu services.
MS is in the progress of transitioning the notification UI to the confetti plus engine (the HW accelerated, XML/CPR driven engine that runs the start menu)
Knowing Miri, he will likely have a stable build up by the end of the weekend.
I am running WM 6.5, build 23008 on custom rom. It's great, but there is one big problem. I don't get the WM 6.5 style finger friendly popup menus anymore. I am getting the old classic style plain and small 6.1 menus. Is there a way to change this? I assume it's in a registry setting, but when I made a change to the registry, the old style menu just got bigger.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
your probably using a theme that's not for wm6.5!
go to settings>today
and choose a wm6.5 theme! a nice black one is pureblack2 << search it

Thanks a lot, dude. It worked like a charm.
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.
K so i wanted to put the fallout theme on my htc pure but dont know where to start. I hear alot about manila and i have no idea what it is or how to use it.Help would be greatly appreciated and a step by step would be ideal. I really want this theme so any help is great.
thanks
Manila is HTC's tabbed UI, also called Sense or TF3D.
You select Manila from your today settings in Startmenu\Settings\Today\Items.
Windows default UI is called Titanium.
If its a windows theme,i.e. it changes Top\Bottom bar colors, fonts, etc.
If its a manila theme, you have to make sure its compatible with your version of manila found under Startmenu\Settings\DeviceInfo\Software
Your Manila build will be either 2.1.xxxxxx or 2.5.xxxxxx.
Manila 2.1 has a programs tab where 2.5 has added program shortcuts to home tab.
Hope this helps.
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?

There is an Android skin for WM. To install, it needs Cookie's Home Tab.

Thank you chan.sk but I want to know the apps for customizing the phone more than the skins for them.
(In the 3rd post of the thread poyensa explained me Cookie Home Tabs and he gave me the link to the download)

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).

Sorry but I said my phone has WVGA screen (not QVGA).
Now I discovered that screenshot comes from Htc Touch Pro 2.

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)
