cant get it to deploy. keeps telling me the phone is locked up.
XAP Deployment (the one from M$) works aok.
EDIT: Found a way around it.
if you go into the files:
-foldersconfig_v1
-release1
-folders.xap.dynamic
you can rename 'folders.xap.dynamic' to 'folders.xap' and just deploy it the old fashioned way.

great, looking forward to more user configuration of the tiles.
very neat

oic. If there is a way to copy paste.By the way how did you install the sideload apps using the menus.txt.Can you show step by step?
Very Nice work Jaxbot !!!
I like your idea of folder in my Omnia 7
How do you get more than one set of folders pinned to the homescreen? I cant select more than one.
Nevermind, got it now. You have to just go into the Folders app on the phone instead of redploying each folder setup.

everything you need to know is here. I found my problem with tiles was a path error. You can edit the menus.txt tile in the program's dir to fix/change or add stuff.

Its actually rather easy...
After you opened folders config... Make folder and add a couple apps from the marketplace so that the menus.txt will show you the format.. Make sure to save it so that the menus.txt will be recreated.
Now open menus.txt with notepad... Move to side.
Open desired xap with winrar and look for wmappmanifest.xml, open that with notepad.
You will find the guid within the first couple of lines its actually called prodectID in the manifest file...
On the next line in the manifest file is the icon name for the app..
Back to the xap you opened in winrar.. Look for the icon in the xap named what you seen in the manifest file..Copy that to the apps folder in foldersconfig. Make sure it is sized 86x86 pixels.
Now in the menus.txt file add another line below the last app you added. Or changed one of the lines if you just added the app from the marketplace to show the menus.txt file format. Change GUID and icon path to the values you seen in the manifest file.
Save menus.txt file..
Open folderscongig.exe, double click on folder, make sure homebrew app you just set up is listed in the folder now. Hit okay, then save or deploy...
Here is the line from my menus.txt file for vNESlight as an example.
<application name="vNESlight" guid="6190740c-044c-4e5f-bed4-7b5cff306964" image="apps/tile-withBGcorrect-62x62.png" />

Homebrew Hub
Hey,
you provided some really great work and gave the phone 7 home-brew development a huge boost.
But I'd like to strongly suggest the next big thing. Here's the plan:
Due the fact that this is already a xap installer and builder, it is really easy to implement a highly requested service:
The Homebrew Hub.
So instead of deploying your xaps with various loaders and then organize them into folders, Homebrew Hub provides a much eaisier way: just select your applications, order them into folders right in the Desktop application and deploy it all together.
So deploying and organizing right together in one application.
In the end, you have all your homebrew applications decent organized in one hub.
Hope you like this recommendation,
Regards, Suicide Clown

If there's a demand for a homebrew hub, that's super easy to make.
Now from the top, hmm, my work ended up on XDA. Funny how that happens Glad you guys are figuring it out. The program was designed to try and be a little bit proofed, but it should be easy enough to take apart for developers.
To break it down, FoldersConfig basically acts as a deployment tool and as a XML/ZIP compressor. So, if you know how to set up the program, you don't even need FoldersConfig. It's just to make the process a little more friendly
Any questions, feel free to ask me. This is just a small project I did in my spare time
It works, thanks man
@Jaxbot:
Big thanks for this app.
I think an "on-device-solution" for Samsung devices should be possible.
For creating that you need root access to the folders. So atm only Heathcliff74 has the knowledge...

i found this and i think it can be useful
Customizing the Weather Plug-in
Let's say we want to add the city of Bremen in Germany to our HTC Touch Weather Plug-in (this works for every other city as well that can be found at AccuWeather.Com).
• Look up the City of your Choice
Go to http://www.accuweather.com/ and enter your desired city in the search field called "Local Weather Forecast", in our case: Bremen, Germany.
After you have clicked yourself to your local weather site, take a look at the browser's address bar and copy the location code from the URL.
• Edit the XML file
Now navigate to your Windows directory in the pocket pc. Find the file called "HH_0407_WeatherCities.xml" and change its properties so it can be edited (uncheck read-only tickbox).
Then, click on "File" - "Edit" and duplicate a line of XML code, preferably in the right alphabetical place. In general, such a line of code contains the following:
<city name="Cityname, COUNTRY" locationcode="LOCATIONCODE_YOU_COPIED_BEFORE"/>
So in our case we would change the entries to this:
<city name="Bremen, DE" locationcode="EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN"/>
Save the file and reset its properties again to read-only.
this can be done on your pc too by simply sending the file in your desktop pc and do your magic there
also i have an xml ready for greek friends
with athens patra korinthos and salonika
just extract and put it in your windows folder in your pocket pc
hope it helps cause i was searching for it for a very long time
this is the file
this is it

When that's happened to me, I disconnect the data session. Once it reconnects it works just fine. You might want to try that...or a soft reset...but the data connection is faster.
This method does not work on Dutty's v4 Rom. The .dll has to be changed...

I have the tilt and when I go on the windows file I found the HH file but it's the HH_0409 and I do not know how to edit it.
This worked great in the DCS ROM!!! You do have to do a soft reset for the changes to take.
Same here thing how do you edit the file????
No need to edit.

The program receives it's weather from weather.com
Here's what to do first
Before editing the XML file. Look for your city to see if it's available on the database.
GO HERE TO SEARCH CITIES: http://www.accuweather.com/ (Use your own zipcode or city)
Then Go here: "http://htc.spamasaurus.com/parseweather.php?locCode=NAM|US|FL|WELLINGTON" and edit the LAST 3 FIELDS TO YOUR COUNTRY,STATE, AND CITY.
ex:
NAM=North America
(COUNTRY)US=United States
(STATE)FL= Florida
(CITY)Wellington
Once you have all your information confirmed, change the file properties uncheck Read-only . Then edit the xml provided using activesync. Be sure to change it back to read only then transfer it back into the Windows folder on your mobile device. Perform a soft reset and search for your city. Through some trial and error you should be able to have your city or one closer to you.
Ok, I almost got it, can you explain location code? I do not see the pic you mentioned in the first post. I live in US Thibodaux LA 70301. How should I type this in when I edit the file? I have the URL number, which part is the code?
Thanks
Anybody, I think I am almost there.

firsto of all the answer in that is that accuweather looks great on our kaiser
htc home
secondly i have to say that i get irritated without trying to play it smart but when it says at the first post change properties from read only i cannot understand the post about the file not being editable if on read only (7th row )
i am not american so i read english as most of you
i wouldnt say all these things but i got tired of reading threads with 2500 posts and on about 95% of those posts can be answered in the very first post
and for the friend right above me its on my rom too but
PLEASE READ THE FIRST POST WHERE I SAY UNCHECK READ ONLY
IS IT SO HARD!!!!

a file in ROM no matter if you uncheck read only cannot be edited, unless you can unlock the ROM for read/write which if i understand correctly has to be done before you flash the rom to the phone. There is a reason its called ROM (Read Only Memory).
is it like that?

Not knowing your setup i dont know. I do know that the file in my memory says its in the ROM and if i uncheck the read only part i cant do anything to the file as it is in the ROM, and the file cannot have the read only flag changed.
If you take a look at your own file properties and it has a little checkbox checked that says its in the ROM and you can edit it then i guess you do have a ROM that can me edited if not, well you should investigate things before you make claims like that.

Notepad for Windows Mobile - My First App!
Hello everybody,
It is really wonderful to see such a group of talented developers here. I am really amazed to see everyone's dedication. So much so that I felt like contributing. But there is a roadblock ahead of me.
I am a proficient developer. My domain is JavaScripting, PHP, ASP, C# .NET. I am very new to the world of Windows Mobile.
In fact, I found that I am wasting too much of time Googling even simplest of things! In fact, I am still stuck at how to work have transparent controls for Windows Mobile .NET Compact Framework!
What I would request is if someone could give me a headstart with links/tips upon simplest things for transition of C# Desktop development to C# Smartphone development (especially for Diamond as I own one!)
If I am reposting anything without searching or if I am repeating, kindly excuse me for this time and point me to proper threads!
Thanking you again!

Did that! And that is how I made my first app. And just as a note, I do develop C# apps for desktop and as you can see, have developed simple WM apps too!
I just found no good resource as to solve very specific issues like: Control's image background and transparency, etc!
I need to know few things... please help:
1. How do I create transparent controls or have background images of textboxes, labels, etc!
2. If I apply an icon to the application (in solution properties), I get a build error "CVTRES fatal error : cannot read file.", though the same icon file is loaded when I assign it to the main Form's Icon property!!
have you checked out:
www.msdn.microsoft.com

Technically the CF does not support transparent controls, but as with anything, there are some tricks to simulate it. You might try searching Google Groups in the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework group for some pointers. As for myself, although I did get some workable controls using those tips, I found it was more trouble than it was worth. "Roll your own" is my motto now. I hardly even use the standard label control anymore.
As for your icon issue, remove the 256x256 version from the ico file. That should do the trick.

Yes right!!! It was stupid of me not to have verified the icon support for this platform.
With a lot of searching, I realized packing: 64x64, 43x43, 32x32, 21x21, 16x16 in 256 colours would be the best idea.
I used IconFX... Great tool See: http://icofx.ro/

You probably don't need all of them. From what I've been able to tell, the OS only uses the 16x16, 32x32, and 64x64 versions. I think I read that on MSDN somewhere, but I don't have a reference. Either way, those have worked fine for me. Remember that you need to take steps to reduce your footprint on mobile devices.

Is it so?? I mean... I read some MSDN blog that said for square devices you need 21x21 and 43x43! If you say that its pointless to include them, I will be more than happy to scrap those non-standard sizes!
From: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/03/02/320x320-revisited.aspx
Heh ... I was wondering where those weird sizes came from. OK, so if you're developing for square too, then maybe you do need them. I've only concerned myself with VGA/QVGA so far, so I probably misspoke.
As bloated as ico files are, I'm surprised they decided on two additional sizes for squares. I have an app with all kinds of cool graphics that are only 3-5 kb, but the icon with only a few sizes is 90-100kb, which is about 1/3 of the total exe size ... just for an icon!!! That might be why some apps have different installers for square screens, so the footprint for each stays lower.
Hi, i was testing ur notepad.exe on my HTC Touch found this problem the screen seen freeze at 1/3 of the file w/o wordwarp or with wordwarp same only little further. But when i scroll up to top no problem.

Hi , if you are still looking for transparent control look at this :
The ability to draw bitmaps transparently though the usage of the ImageAttributes parameter still exists in the .NET Compact Framework, but it's a little bit more work than on the desktop.
ImageAttributes imageAttr = new ImageAttributes();
// Make a transparent key
imageAttr.SetColorKey(Color.White, Color.White);
//Use the key when drawing
gxOff.DrawImage(m_bmp, imgRect, 0, 0, img.Width, img.Height,
GraphicsUnit.Pixel, imageAttr);

I have solved this issue. Now you should have no problem while changing from portrait to landscape and vice versa. Do check out and let me know. Download updated file
Regarding the other bug: I have seen this issue on many devices. In my opinion, it is a problem (limitation) of DOTNET Framework. Try upgrading to latest DOTNET CF and do the testing.
Also, if this problem persists, I presume there will be a workaround for this. But the workaround may be at the cost of loading time and memory usage. Should I proceed in that direction?
PS:
I am planning all the existing Notepad features for this application. That Includes Find and Replace and Zoom.

There's a bug however : I'm unable to externaly launch a non-known filetype with Notepad. I get : "The specified file cannot be opened. Path or format incorrect" I get the error with or without launching the file (a .ini file, just for the record) in double-quotes. However, I'm able to open the file just file from within notepad.
And do take a look at Notepad2 (Desktop). It's a great Notepad replacement but maintains the speed and style. Would be nice if you could implement some of its features like line numbers and syntax highlighting.

Hi Shamasis,
I was looking for a Windows Mobile Notepad to edit .reg and .ini files on my PDA without having to copy the files to PC and back again. Your Notepad is a very cool start but has one problem for me: it only saves in ANSI format and not in UNICODE format.
I can use your Notepad to view the files but not edit them unfortunately. The *.ini for many of my applications needs to be in UNICODE and doesn't accept ANSI after opening and saving in Notepad.
Can I make a feature request for Save As... UNICODE? Or perhaps you can automatically resave in the same format the opened file was?
Great tool Shamasis - keep up the good work!

Right away, forgive my ignorance on the subject, I'm sure I can spend 10-12 hours searching forums and figure it out or someone can take 2 min and just answer it.
Lets say one was to take an app from the market and unzip it into a folder to see what it's made out of. Let's also say that one has absolutely no clue about android, Linux or programming in general, just too much curiosity and a phone to play with. So that certain individual (and I will not admit that it was me, it was.... my friend) found .dex file inside and thought of editing it, nothing fancy, just replace some URLs with other URLs. Here the question: How would I (I mean... my friend) would edit .dex file? Notepad seems to do it but something tell me (I mean... my friend) that it's not the right way. How would I put that app back toghether into .apk format after I'm done with it (Agh, screw it, it's me, it's not my friend). I should also note that I'm not trying to do this for profit or trying to steal someone's app.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Whatever you would like to call it. If it make you happy, I "decompilied" apk file using WinRAR to get a number of files including above mentioned .dex file.
Now that we have that figured out, how do I edit .dex file and repack everything else into .apk?
Thanks
First off, yes you can open the .apk file and see the other files but the files for the actual app are compiled. They arent editable. You would need the source to edit the app in any way.
As to the .dex file if you can open it with a text editor and change stuff all you are likely to do is break the app. As for putting it back together and getting it to install, good luck. You will probably need to get it resigned or something.
If you are wanting to learn how to make apps for android you should download the SDK. I believe there is a tutorial with some example apps that you can make out there somewhere also.

Agh, now we are getting somewhere.
Just for the record: I do not want to make apps, I'd rather leave it to pros and pay few bucks for working app that has no bugs.
The app I am referring too is StreamFusion which is a streaming audio player. Initial install puts about 30 preloaded stations in the playlist, none of which are of any interest to me. I unzipped apk and found this .dex file (resources.dex? not at home, can't check) which contained URLs for default-loaded streams. All I want to do is replace them with URLs of my own so I don't have to search shoutcast,add my stations and delete defaults everytime I decide to wipe my phone. Sounds like such a simple task, yet there's no clear documentation on how to do something like that (at least for the non-dev crowd).
With that said, I don't want to change the way StreamFusion, they do give you an option to remove defaults manually (one by one!) and they do give you an option to add your own stations in the playlist. It just takes too long and I've done it a few too many times already.
I'll keep playing with it, let me know if anyone for sure knows how to do it, otherwise I'll report when I figure it out or when I get tired of it.
Sorry for being rude earlier, i was in a bad mood
If you mean StreamFurious all you need to do is long press the radio station and hit delete

Have you actually tried renaming an .apk file to .zip and opening it? In short, apk is just like a jar. They're just zip files with specific metadata requirements.

when in doubt ..

The defaults that are hard-coded into the apk are loaded on first run into a sqlite3 database. Sure you could edit the hard-coded defaults, but this would be an unclean solution. A better solution would be to backup the sqlite3 database to your computer and restore it with adb whenever you reinstall. You can also easily edit the database conveniently on your pc as well.
The location of the db is /data/data/com.streamfurious.android.free/databases/streamfurious.db
By the way, the SF defaults already include KQED, BBC WS and TWiT. What more could anyone possibly need
You can decompile apk class files from the dex file.

Hi everyone,
I wrote yet another simple file manager for the Android platform, called Ghost Commander.
Why I did it? Because it only features two panels, like famous (Norton|Midnight|Total) Commander and you can easy copy/move files between the panels by a single key press (instead of that boring cut/copy/paste operations). It also can create and delete folders, edit small text files.
For the advanced users, this file manager has also the "root:" (su - super
user) mode to work with system files on a rooted phone, change file permissions
attributes (chmod) and even execute your own shell commands. Plus, the "mount:"
mode to browse and remount the file system partitions.
Aside the file system on the sdcard, the file manager can also upload or
download files from remote locations such as FTP servers, Windows (aka Samba)
network shares (plug-in required), create or extract ZIP archives.
Here is the link for download.
Ill check it out! Sounds interesting...thanks!

Your app is very good! Nice and simple, but it doesnt show anything under /cache or /data /or /system/sd/...it could really use that function, other than that its pretty good, no FC's, not really laggy, Nice work! Make it truly show ALL contents and itll be great! Thanks!

Thank you for the review.
I don't know why it does not show the content in some system folders. It just got nothing when it asks the list of the files for that directories. May be it's some java security limitations. I tried other file managers, they don't show that as well. I'll try to as a question on an xda forum.
Did you expirience any troubles with the track ball? The application should switch panels on the left movement, did that bring any trouble?
Can you post some screenshots?

I tried to access to the "/cache" folder with a terminal emulator (ConnectBot) and got "Permission denied". But as root the folder reads fine.
So, it seems need to figure out how to run a java app as root (if possible).
Thank you for the screenshots. I've learnt I shouldn't mix system provided icons and application's in one menu.
That SUFBS seems very powerful. Will try it later if I'd find where to download it from.

Its on the market, Its not called SUFBS anymore, it was changed to "SuperUser File Manager & Terminal" or something, if you search market for "superuser" it will come up, its about $2 or $3 USD, i forget, but well worth it for the functionality. Maybe you might contact the developer and see if they would help you with figuring out how to show root directories, since they already know...

I've decided not to overload the screen with additional components to be able to select an item by a single tap.
So, now it behaves this way:
When you click on the left part of the row the item processed, when you click on the right part, the row is selected.
Refresh after an operation was also fixed.
This is almost perfect. Isn't possible make option in settings to enable and disable file detail like (mb, time).

as of now its very similar to the standard image gallery (just the browser section has doublevision) and thats all im gona do for the browsing i just need to implement drag and drop to copy files which is probably the hard part. the cool thing is im gona have it drop onto a new activity with the drop explorer enlarged and some extra buttons like cancel and rename that it can be droped onto. since your not gona drop it in the area you picked it up from. ive never worked with drag and drop or content resolvers yet so this is gona be hard, but before this app i never worked with databases or list adapters either so...

There is no a ftp java library around so write a ftp client from the scratch may take some time.
BTW, the Ghost commander has internal module architecture, so, if somebody willing to implement a ftp client according the interfaces I provide, it will be very easy to plug in to the project.
Freedomcaller,
Drag'n drop is probably cool, but I rather use the keyboard to do the stuff.
Welcome all
This thread is now in the process of being built, so please dont complain about it being rubbish until I have finished it
This thread will guide you through all the steps to skin and edit manila how you like, so you will be able to make your own themes and visual tweaks
This guide will be more complete than others, but primarily focus on the more skinned files, to save peope time scanning through long lists, I will also make raw packages for people to use to get a head start on their themes..
So, watch this space and I will help you with all you need to know, some of the things I will cover are:

Manila BasicsOk, so there are different types of manila file,
even though they all look the same when looking at them
on a desktop, or on your phone. There are: QTC, Mode9
and Lua files. The only one I understand, and the one that
is used for skinning manila, is the QTC files, and this is what
we will learn about, so for now, forget about the other two,
and note that when I refer to a manila file, I mean a QTC file,
but you cant tell the difference anyway, just by looking at it.
A common question that people ask is: Is 'this manila mod'
compatible with my version of windows? Now, this is pretty
much irrelevant, as manila and windows are two seperate things,
manila runs on top of windows.. However if you are running an
old version of windows mobile, its likely you have an old phone
which isn't able to run Manila anyway.
There are many different name for all these manila. Touch Flo 3D,
Sense 2.5, Sense 2.1. Now, Touch Flo 3D is the original htc ui that
was first released on devices such as the Touch Pro and the Diamond.
Sense 2.1 was releases on the touch pro 2, the diamond 2 and the
blackstone, a good way to distinguish between this version and
sense 2.5, is that 2.1 has a greyed out slider, whilst 2.5 has a colourful
one. Sense 2.5 is on most of the newer devices, such as the leo,
however due to custom roms, pretty much everyone on the blackstone,
touch pro 2, touch diamond 2 and imagio now runs 2.5.
Hardly anyone uses TF3D any more, so you can forget about that, a
simple way to differentiate between 2.1 and 2.5, is 2.1 has no
quicklinks on the home screen, and 2.5 does. However there has been
many updates to both versions so it can be hard to tell sometimes.
If you are still not sure, go to the settings tab, scroll down to the bottom and select about, select software information
You only usually need to refer to the first 6 digits, so mine is 2.5.2012.
Opening up a cab
You shall want to know how to open and examine cab files,
I will explain why in the next post. This is much easy than
many people first think.
The easiest way to do this is to use Win CE Cab Manager,
however it is not free,but Im sure many of you have other
ways of getting it, but that is not to be discussed on this forum
There is also another program you can use to look at the contents,
however it is not as fancy as Win CE, but it is FREE . I shall go
over that later
To Open a cab with Win CE Cab Manager (WCM): This is very simple, just
open the cab file with WCM and go down to the files tab, here you will find
every file that is in the cab, along with its locations that it installs to on the
phone. Here is a visual aid:
Another way to do this, is to use ervius's Package Creator, this is free, and will quickly extract all files from a cab for you to a set folder, however this way, you cant find out where the files go to, however this does not matter because all manila files go to windows. Here is how to do it:
Quick and Easy Way To Find What Manila File Does What
Ok, so this is how I used to find what I needed,
however it isn't very useful all thee time, as you have to know of
a cab that already changes what you want to change yourself.
So, for example, lets say I want to edit the clock background, but
I don't know what manila file represents it, first thing I would do is
go to try and find a cab that someone else has made that did something
to the clock background, so I find this
'Touch X original clock background',
[Download it here if you want to
follow me exactly]
So now I have it, I will open it with WCM (see above on how to open
the cab up with WCM), and we can see that there is the file called
'31794a12_manila' inside, so we now know that this file is for the
clock background.
Next we want to find the original or 'stock' version, of this file, so
we can work with the same file that we see on our phone. So, next
thing to do is open up file explorer on our phone and navigate to the
windows folder. This is located at the root of the device. Now if you
keep scrolling down the windows folder, you should start coming
across all the manila files. If you don't see any manila files, then
go onto the file explorer menu and select show all files. Now, all
you have to do is scroll down until you find 31794a12_manila, and
then copy it from windows to somewhere like your storage card,
and then copy it onto your pc, you now have a file ready for editing.
Better way to find manila files.
Sorry this took me so long to write, I wasn't sure of the best way to write it, and I'm still not so here goes..
When your favourite rom chef, or even HTC for that matter, make roms, manila is added in, in multiple packages, such as Manila Music, Manila People, Mania Home ect.... This can help us ALOT in finding a particular file, as we can narrow down our searches to one package.
So, being a rom chef myself, I just take all the manila packages from my kitchen, and look through them with cfcgui (we shall get to that later) however there are so many different versions of manila, so many different packages that it might be hard to find the packages for your specific version, however if you can find yours, thats great. Alot of files DO NOT change between versions, so usually its quite easy to find a packages that suits yours and others roms. The most used manila package at the moment is probably 2012 and 2014, so I will upload those packages for you guys, that way you have somewhere to start. Also provided is a thread which has some more manila packages, thanks to dotcompt
[Dotcompt packages]
[Manila 2012 Packages]
[Manila 2014 Packages]
So, lets begin , lets say for example, I want to edit the Mail background paper image, so this will take 2 seconds with this method , no looking for other cabs
The first thing we want to do is download CFC GUI, heres a link to the thread!
[Download]
[Thread, so you can read more about it and its features] - Thanks Chainfire, great work as usual
I keep CFCGUI in the same folder as my manila packages...
Open CFC GUI, and it will ask you to select a folder, this is the directory it will work from, so we want to point it to the manila package. And we want to edit the mail tab background, and so we can make a pretty good guess that its gonna be in the Manila Mail package , so browse to where your manila mail package is, and then to the files folder inside that, and click ok, CFC GUI will now scan the folder for manila files.
Now, we have a list of files, CFC GUI will name the ones that it already knows, but considering it hasn't been updated in a while, this doesnt pick up all of the files, so any ones it doesnt recognize goes into the unknown section. Just keep flicking through all these files, whilst CFC GUI displays an image of it on the right, until you find the one your looking for, which in our case is the second from last file, found in unknown - 32830efc_manila WE HAVE OUR FILE!
Now, we want to edit it, use the shortkey Ctrl+S to save the file as a png ready for editing, I like to have a seperate folder for converting png to qtc and vice versa, which I name, my working folder , so have an empty folder called Working Folder somewhere else, and choose to save the png there.
Another advantage to this is, the file is already converted to png for you
Converting Manila Files To PNG's And Vice Verca
If you found the files the better way from the last post, you won't need to know how to convert from Manila (QTC) to PNG, however its good to know for other reasons, plus its super easy
For this, I use a program called M9Editor, technically, you can do the same with this as you can with CFC GUI, but M9Editor does this particular task more efficiently.
[Download Here]
[Thread For Further Reading] thanks 6Fg8!
Once m9editor is downloaded, extract the contents to a folder and then run m9editor.exe, and it will say something along the lines of 'some of the following settings are not correct' so you press ok and set what directories are used. I personally just use the same folder for all 4 of the functions, as I only use m9editor for one function, and so this saves confusion!, use the same folder as you save into with CFCGUI, this makes everything fit together and makes your manila editing experience much smoother ;D
So, to convert Manila to PNG, put the Manila file in the directory you specified when you setup m9editor, and you will see it appear in the list, you can put as many files in the folder as you want, they will all show up, also on the left of the screen you will notice a preview, this is also useful to have. Now, to convert the manila file to a png file, click the button 'Q>P', depending on how many files you have in your folder, this will take a few seconds, and then you will have a png with the same name in your working folder. Sorted! Now you can go edit it.
So Im sure you've worked it out, to convert PNG to Manila, we just press the button next to 'Q>P' which is 'P>Q' ;D and now you have a manila file generated with the same name as the png.
NOTE: If you are going to convert a file, always make sure that the file you are producing is not going to be made in the same directory as a file with the same name, so in other words, if you converted a Manila to png, then edited the png, then wanted to convert it back to manila, make sure you delete the original Manila file first.
Skinning Manila Files
Now this is where the fun bit comes in and where everyones skill is put to use, the actually skinning and modification of a manila file. This is also relatively easy (especially for graphics artists ofc lol) but there are a couple of rules you MUST remember when doing it.
Firstly, when you open your new PNG image in whatever program you use to edit images, I would always recommend you make a new layer on top to work with, as you must remember the original image should be considered a template, and you must work within its guidelines. Alot of manila files total canvas size is alot bigger than the actual graphic that is on it, I'm not sure why HTC decided to do this, but they did and so we must always remember that when on our phone, Sense only picks up graphics where the original one was, and the rest isnt seen.
That leads me onto my second point, all the wasted space is transparent! it has to be transparent, that means two basic things, all manila files are always saves as PNG's before conversion, as only PNG's support transparency, and also you cant use MS Paint to edit manila, cus it has no transparency support for its PNG's I usually use Alpha Transparency.
So if your confused by now, heres a few little images to show you what I mean, using the clock background image file:

If I may to correct this statement for a little bit....
For example, Wherever I searched for, for my project,I could not get answer anywhere,and whatever I tried,it was always mistake somehware and I could not find the sollution...So,this is not for lazy people ( lazy people does not search sollution between hundereds of various files inside manila) so this is ULTIMATE tutorial for people who like to learn how some things works and behave inside manila envoriment..
And it is interesting that there is none of any good tutorial since WM5 for building WM 6.5 .tsk theme...These stuf are really essential and fundamental and it is amazing that there is none of them here exposed...
(sorry for my bad english )
great!
I look forward to your tutorial. cheers!
