UPDATE1: Footprints tab and other minor fixes.
Original post:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi!
I'm usually known in the Omnia community for my M2D All-in-one installers. It was just a question of time to create it for the Raphael too.
This is a very early release, it has a lot of known bugs, (and it might have a lot of unknown bugs). It includes Manila2D version 1911 (patched by xplode), Footprints (by KDKobes), AudioManager (version 1911, but the exe files are from version 1819, because the 1911 exe wouldn't run for me), MHubVo codec files and lots of fixes for the VGA version.
This installer does not include: HTC Album, Youtube, Google Maps, Opera, lots of other thing you might need for non-Raphael phones
I only tested this installer on a HTC Touch Pro. I tried to only add packages that are missing from the Raphael, while keeping other files that are included.
If you want to install this on a device other than Raphael (or Diamond), then first install all the other requirements that might be missing (like HTC Album, youtube, etc.)
This installer still has a lot of issues.
The following are known errors:
Picture tab only has pictures aligned to a quarter part of the image frame
Changing pictures only work if you sweep in the first quarter of the screen on the pictures tab
Weather animation on the weather tab is misaligned
Location tab has some strange rendering bugs sometimes
Settings/Sounds has a mis-aligned screen
Landscape mode is broken
Application icons in the program selector are buggy
Locations in the weather tab are a bit distorted
Already fixed bugs:
Footprints tab is very buggy. I tried to reskin it to VGA, but then Manila2D experienced a lot of memory errors. It might be my mistake, but unfortunately I think this is because the maximum memory a WinMo application can allocate is 16MB, and M2D got to close to this boundary with large icons. It might work though after sacrificing other tabs (like locations)
Footprints application is buggy, and might crash a lot
Buttons on the music tab are not working. It will however display the actual song correctly, but you still have to load up Audiomanager to switch songs
I try to fix them as soon as I find a solution for them. I will also keep an eye on the Footprints development too, to include the latest patches from them too.
Setup guide
Hard reset (might not be nescessary, but you need at least 40MB of storage memory)
Disable everything on the today screen
Install Manila2D all-in-one.cab
DO NOT LET THE DEVICE GO TO STANDBY DURING INSTALL!
DO NOT LET THE DEVICE GO TO STANDBY DURING INSTALL!
DO NOT LET THE DEVICE GO TO STANDBY DURING INSTALL!
Set the theme and background (optional)
Soft reset (might be optional, but advised)
Enable Touchflo on the today screen
Enjoy (optional)
If you're into ROM cooking, or want to edit the source of the cab file, I also provide the package files, and an easy-to-use install creator to create modified cab files.

Many thanks to xplode, KDKobes, herg62123, pijulius and the other guys who made VGA TF2D possible, the guys at the omnia community and everyone else who are involved somehow with M2D/me/etc.
Wooh! Thank you so much for this i have been waiting for a m2d port for our phone.
Thanks for this release. Here my comments:
footprint and pics are displayed in qvga even if the borders are vga
clock is mixed. you have both analog and digital overlayed
inside footprint it displays some glitches and i don't see the pic taken before, just the city and date

I'm working on the footprints errors. I think I'll disable the Locations and the Photos tab and keep only Footprints. Maybe this way memory consumption will be fine.
I intentionally mixed the clocks, just to show that clock does work too
The default 4 pics in footprints are broken for me, but the new pictures I take are fine.

Can you disable the digital clock and leave the original analog ones?
Is there no way, to scale the pics to vga inside the frames of footprint and photo tab?
Thanks, and let me know, if I can support you (e.g. free server space, etc.)

1. Yes, it can be done by editing HTCHomeSettings (will do it in the next release)
2. Currently I'm trying to scale the footprints to normal size. I hope I'll manage to do something
Updated:
- Fixed Footprints / Footprints tab
- Removed Analog clock, Pictures tab, Locations tab
- Fixed Audiomanager
You might turn pictures/locations on, by editing HTCHomeSettings.xml but beware that M2D eats 17MB of memory already, and around 18-20 it gets real buggy and stops working! The pictures on the footprints tab are still small (not 2x, but only 1.5x the size of the original), because of memory contraints!
DL: http://winmo.sztupy.hu/m2daiovga.html
This version seems to be fine for everyday usage too.

Has anyone been able to get M2D running along side TF3D? Basically what I'm asking is has anyone been able to install this on a Touch PRO/Fuze without messing up TF3D?
Reason I ask is because both TF3D and M2D have a Manila.exe and I would imagine installing M2D would break TF3D.
I have both installed, and you can run one at a time w/o problem. I'm gonna flash one of the lite rom and get gid of touchflo3D.

M2D eats a lot of memory, and porting it to WVGA would mean even more memory. So if you want to port it then first disable almost all tabs (keep home, people, settings and programs). Only after that try to change the XML+images. Always keep an eye about the memory usage and if it goes beyond 18-19 megs, then consider lowering image sizes.

allright.
Its mostly the background images that needs changed (made longer )
I got it working on wvga, just need to fix the sizes on the images.
x1 has alot of memory, so memory usage is not a big consern for me

TP has a lot of memory too, but in Windows Mobile if an application eats more memory than 16-20megs it will crash. So this limit is a hard limit unfortunately
Hi sztupy,
Did you make any progress, I mean on the remaining bugs ?
Specially on those:
# Picture tab only has pictures aligned to a quarter part of the image frame
# Changing pictures only work if you sweep in the first quarter of the screen on the pictures tab
# Weather animation on the weather tab is misaligned
# Locations in the weather tab are a bit distorted
# Application icons in the program selector are buggy
Cheers

Not really. To solve the picture you need either switch back to QVGA (so put the picture in the first quarter), or do some heavy disassembling which I dislike (took me 6 hours of debugging to find where Footprints store the coordinates, and I don't think I have the energy to do that again with Manila...). And as I said: larges pictures = more memory consumption, which is a bad thing
The other things are hard coded too (except maybe for the weather animation. For that changing the pictures might help)
Hi, thanx for your fast replay.
So really to clarify. At first I want to use Manilla 2D because it's faster than manilla 3D, and has less memory consumption. But you say that on a VGA device Manilla 2d is consuming a huge amount of memory.
So for VGA, do you recommand then Manilla 3d better that Manilla 2d ? in other words, what's the adventage of Manilla 2D on a VGA device over a M3D ? M2D is useless in a performance view ?
Cheers
Hey all,
I've got this 4gs running cm7 nightlies and I'm wondering if there's an app (or another way) to add some text to my lockscreen. Thought? Thanks.
If you mean some text such as "Property of John Doe, if found call 555-555-5555" there's http://sites.google.com/site/paranoidandroidproject/
It works for me running a CM7 nightly on a 9020A, the only change I've noticed is that the lock pattern is bunched up a little, but that may be due to the multiple lines of text I put in there.
Along the same line of thought, I've added that info in my boot animation, which isn't too hard to do if you have an image editing program that has scripting capabilities.
New Contacts (Original from mod Topogigi 1.9) modifed:
- Replaced code inserting Photo 96x96 in Contacts to Photo 400x400
(need reassigning new photo on contacts)
Use with: Phone_new_20I (big photo 200x200) or Phone_new_2_20I (very big photo 300x300 on screen on out call & in call) (Original from mod Topogigi 1.9)
Add new Phone dialer with show big photo
nice done !
i guess you have to disable sync for contacts, otherwise it will get back the 96x96 pics ?
This is a problem is urgent to contact Google (if enable sync), for "PC Suite" - no problem.
New Contact - only allows you to assign larger photos than the original Contacts.
Screenshots?

Add new Contacts v2.
Fix one more place in the code that stores small photos
It doesn't work with Topogigi's ROM 2.0 (SP3). Does anybody have New contacts & dialer for V20j?
It doesn't match with CM7...
Could you please fix and support it...
Thank you!!
2.3.4 v20b?
Hello,
I´ve got a small problem, i don´t want to use miui anymore and installed the Stock V20L. Every Picture has a bad quality when i set it as my qackground when you compare it to the miui Rom. Is possible to make the quality "miui-like" ?
Hopefully you know what i mean my english is not so good
Thanks in advance
Never used MIUI but perhaps posting some screenshots might help?
Sure, i think you can see the differince.
Had the same problem. Didn't manage to find a solution. It's got something to do with color depth. I can only add that the problem is consisted in multiple launchers including stock and LauncherPro
Hello,
don't use the gallery to set the backdrops.
Use "Wallpaper Set & Save" from the Market (it's for free).
Wallpapers will look as expected.
Frank
Looks like 16bit vs 24bit
It´s better, but not like the Miui Quality.. :/ i think this is a reason for me to install Miui
I see. You might want to install a custom kernel to get the higher color depth. I think Horsepower installs a 24bit color depth, if that's that Rusty thinks the issue is.
Yes, Rusty is right, it's a dither issue.
Also care to share what MIUI theme you're using?
I can upload it tomorrow but not exactly the same (other statusbar) i haven't got the mtz

HP kernel defaults to 16 right now tho, but you can easily change it by editing the bpp file in init.d

where and how to do that???
If you want the backgrond to be sharp, set the background with the app Crop Wallpaper and set bpp to 24/32. (Open system/etc/init.d/bpp file with Root Explorer and edit the "16")
Then you have a sharp, beautiful background.

Hello, This is dark theme mods based on deodexed files of auras76's RomAur ROM and djsnoopyxxl's mod apps. With my noob skill, I decompiled their mod apps & deodexed apps, compared them, copied & pasted them to meet my need. All icons & others graphics that isn't stock belongs to djsnoopyxxl. I added my variant of text color a liitle bit. Basically these files are deodexed but they're working with stock odex rom and should be working deodexed rom too (I'm stock odex).
I've tested this mods on my XZL (original thread) and confirmed working on XZ by some of you guys (thanks for risking your XZ guys )
And as always, Use it as your own risk (and bla bla bla )
How to install
do a full backup before installing, just in case.
install via cwm.
wipe cache & dalvik cache.
reboot.
(hopefully) enjoy
I didn't test all menu/screen of these apps but i'm sure there are some of them that still has stock-eye hurting look. If you guys test it and found them or other glitches/bug. Pls tell me, i'll try to fix them

great job mate. it is realy good. we are waiting for more!!!
one little glitch i found. it is not serious, but it is there:
if you go to edit a merged phonebook entry (for example a phone book entry which is merged with a skype entry), then there is a white background theme with white letters and grey text input fields. it should be black background theme with white letters and grey input fields...
do your magic :good:

just another thing i found:
during a call, if you press the audio select button, if you have a bluetooth connected, there is a pop up menu, where you can select the audio output.
with your mod this menu has white background with white text, while it should be white text with black background...
is it possiblw to resize the contact picture to be inside the frame below the upper call bar because whenever a full contact photo is displayed during a phone call, the number and name get disappeared since the backround is transparent and the text is white
