People were having too many problems with this, so I decided to stop the project, sorry everyone.
--------------
This small tool is not trying to competing with the excellent M2D Customizer by MPenguin14!
I just made it because theres currently no versions of M2DC that works with the latest M2D.
And, even though M2DC is open-source, I dont know how to programm in that language, so I tried to mimic what it does with flash + mortscript.
It enables, disables and rearranges the tabs:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To use:
--------
Make sure your device is QVGA!
Backup your system first, just in case.
Install Flash 7, if you dont have it already.
Install Mortscript, if you dont have it already.
Install the attached CAB.
Run my app.
Click to enable/disable tabs, drag to reorder them.
Red text means the tab is disabled, note that some tabs NEED to be disabled for M2D to run!
The listing is strange, as is in 2 columns, Ill have to find a better way of reordering the tabs in the future (any ideas?).
Save your settings.
Wait a couple of seconds, M2D will restart itself.
Enjoy.
What's new:
------------
Reads saved tab settings.
Change main softkeys.
Change Launcher tab grid (rows X columns).
Added M2D restart shortcut (usefull for skinners).
Notes:
------
The arrow is NOT pointing to cancel, it just means the list on the right continues from there.
It does not use or read any of your previously changed xml data, for now it always starts from its own default.
It creates a backup in \Windows\M2Dr\backup of the last XML changed, just in case you need it back.
You can install the app anywhere, but it always creates some temp files in \Windows\M2Dr that take about 200kb in the device (backup included).
Some tabs NEED to be disabled for M2D to run!
If the app is stuck in a screen reading "If you can read this you need flash 7", guess what, you only have flash lite. ;P
No widescreen version, my SWF to EXE doesnt support it, sorry.
Installing old M2D skins wont work, because some files arent the same.
I wouldnt advise more than 6 columns and a reasonable ammount of rows on the LAUNCHER tab, I have no idea of its limits.
Dont use this with the old M2D, it WONT work.
Old M2D(ct) thmes wont work also, they all have to be remade.
I attached here a QUICK-FIX, in case your M2D cant load, just copy the file into the windows folder and restart M2D.
How can I help?
---------------
Do you know a way of converting PNGs to JPGs with a simple command line? Or maybe a simple EXE that converts all the files in a folder.
How can I enable a TSK theme without going thru the settings?
How can I create a list of all the files inside a folder and its subfolders? (The FOREACH command on Mortscript only reads one folder)
To do (if M2DC doesnt get updated first, hehehe):
-------
Install new skins with a new extension name.
Change background (real M2D background, not just the HOME tab wallpaper).
Backup/restore XML settings.
Browse button for the softkeys choice (dont know if its possible)...
Nice,
Thanks for your work
Thanks for your work...
This is something i was waiting for a long time.
I hope you have succes...
I will be around this threat
hey twolf great app, no surprise it came from you
and in terms of ordering the tabs would it be possible to add a scrollable list, just an idea
Thanks, I wanted to do a horizontal scroll tab, but am having a lot of bugs with it, also we dont see all the tabs at once, and that makes it hard to order...
Updated v0.2:
Now to work on the skinning option.
any way for this tool to be able to add links and shortcuts to the internet tab in the future? great app twolf!! all your work is mind blowing

Thanks, it should be as simple as adding those registry options, its not in my to-do list because I wanted to finish the most basic things first, but I believe I can do that after.

What M2D version do you use?
You have your previous XML on Windows\M2Dr\backup just copy it back to the windows folder...
ALSO....
Added the How can I help? area on the first post, with stuff I'm stuck with.
If anybody knows any solution, please help.

Yes, it messed up my M2D too. And I'm using version 2.19191432 as cooked by Miky6682 in his ROM (I believe this is the new version you talk about). And btw, I had only rearranged the tabs to begin with.
Copying back XML from Windows/m2dr/backup also did not help. You admitted yourself that your M2D reFLUSH does not take into account previously edited XML and creates its own backup point. I had to restore from the XML I had manually saved earlier.
Any ideas why this could be happening? M2D reFLUSH could be a fantastic tool if I can get it to work for me.
The problem is that mortscript cant "read" XML files properly, so I had to separate the xml into severall parts to be able to rebuild it with my changes.
You can see it on \Windows\M2Dr\part*.txt
Its separated into all those txt files:
Part 1 is the image list
Part 2a and 2b are created by my M2Dr flash file on save, its the tab list and order. Its separated in two because flash cant save that many characters on a text file) some characters are incorect but mortscript fixes them.
Part 3a is the end of the tab list and the beginning of the launcher settings (I moved it to the top so that it was easier to change).
Part 3b is the middle of the launcher tab settings.
Part 3c is the end of the launcher tab settings and the rest of the hole XML.
So, for now, to use M2Dr, all you need to do is make sure the file \Windows\M2Dr\part3c.txt is represented the same way in your XML.
:/
Tricky, but it will work.
I am using 2.1919.1432 as cooked by Miky6682 too. I am having the same problem. After I enable the "Launcher". The M2D has no longer work. Is there any wany to fix it?
I added a quick-fix in the first post with the original XML.
Just copy it to the Windows folder.
Sorry about that.

quick fix didnt wrk for me. u have to hreset now. id advise ppl to stay clear of this app till u sort this bug out.
No ned to hard reset...
All this does is change the xml I attached and the softkeys (IF you changed any).
You did extracted the xml from the attached zip, copied it to your Windows folder and resetted, right?
If that didnt fixed it, you can always reinstall M2D, or simply remove your softkeys settings with M2DC.
But this really shouldnt be necessary, the xml fix should resolve everything.
:/
All this app thouch is the xml and the softkeys, nothing more.
I did tested it before releasing it, I know it will only work on QVGA for now, but that should be the only problem.

Hey, no need to be so alarmed. As twolf explained, this "app" does not make any irrevocable changes. It is just a user friendly and convenient interface for editing the HTChomesettings.xml file of Manila 2D. Alternatively you can use some utility like Mobile Notepad to manually edit the xml file yourself. But thats a complicated procedure and twolf's M2D reFLUSH makes it easy for even newbies like me.
Secondly, this forum is all about developing new apps and utilities.... and testing/feedback is an inseparable part of development. If everyone "stays clear", then nothing would ever get developed.
well i am now going lose all of my data, so i will say "stay clear" so that other ppl dont suffer the same fate, the quick fix does not work and i am now screwed. dont av a go at me for being angry, im the one who is inconvenienced not you.
I am truthly sorry for your data, believe me that this was never my intention with this app...
The most that it could do of harm would be to stop M2D from starting, nothing that wouldnt be fixed easily, or at most by reinstalling M2D.
What exactly happened to your device?
Maybe if I can understand the problem better I can fix whatever this tool did or stop working on it at all... :/
Sooo... could you please explain in detail what happened to your device?
Launcher fails to change anything
Hi... First off... Fantastic. Simple and clean application.
Only thing is I cannot seem to adjust the Launcher. I set it to 4 x 4 to no avail. The only thing that happened was the icons seemed to spread out a bit but remained 6 rows and 3 cols. I tried to change anything with the same result.
Any ideas?

...made a revision of my soundbox to fix the storage name issue.
FlaxBOX2 v3:
Its now easier to use, I left the sound names on a txt file still because its easier to change on you PC's notepad or PPC's notes than on 100 separated registry variables. :/
The folder and mp3 names are hardcoded so there are no mistakes.
"Theme 10" is empty so that you can add your own sounds (you can change all, of course).
Its limited to 10 folders with 10 sounds each, so that's 100 sound files.
What's new in v3:
-----------------
- More colors.
- More sounds (now 90 + your 10)!
- Favorite sound, on open it will play automaticly your pre-selected sound.
- Auto-configurable path, thanks to Wedge, the cab creates everything for you now.
- Shortcut on the start menu (wo-hooo).
- Quick-config paths in different languages (only needed if you open the app in a rom or PDA where you didnt installed the cab).
To install:
---------
- Install Flash 7: http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer_pocketpc/downloads/player.html
- Download and extract the Zips and then the 2 part RARs, with Winrar.
- Install the CAB.
- Have fun.
To customize:
--------------
- Rename the names on the data.txt.
- Add your own Mp3 on the right folders with the right filenames.
- Create your own, following the same variables and placing them on the correct folders.
Create your own funny pack and upload it here for everyone to use.
Works Great on HP iPaq 210
Just tried your new version and it works great! I loaded FlaxBox on the CF Card following your very simple instructions, set the path and started using my new PDA Executor! Even better, this version should be easy to upgrade, just replace the exe ...
Thanks very much!
Works Great on Diamond
Thanks for this App,
works onmy diamond on storage card (AZTOR X2Ultimate), very simple to use and customize with 8 folders.
I start to complete 8th folder.
Thanks for the Ap! I have a problem though. I set the path for the sounds but it does not save. The program will find the folders up to the point where I restart my phone and then it does not find them. It also does not work with the default location. Any ideas?

Thanks, but I tested it and saves the path on mine... :/
Are you sure your not giving him the wrong path?
Mine is like this:
Yeah I am sure. Tried it so many times and different ways. Is there maybe a registry entry I should clear somewhere that may be corrupt from FlaxBox 1?
Thanks for any help!
Also this is on a VZW Touch Pro.
Nope, the older version relied completly on the txt file, so no registry at all.
You can use a freeware registry viewer or resco explorer to see whats on the:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FLAXBOX -> PATH
Whats the name of your storage card on the explorer?
My storage card is "Storage Card".
That registry entry is not there. Could that be the problem?
Well... it should create it... :S
But if its not there, it would read the default value... And if you are using that one, it's even more strange.
I agree. Can you copy the Registry entry as I should create it and see if that helps?
BTW - I am running custom ROM with lots of hacks so I am not trying to say there is anything wrong with your program. Others seem to be running it with no issue.
Well, you should only need flash 7. :/
Here it is, use it on any registry tool or Resco explorer.
hey! really nice app, but i have some problems with it. It looks like this:
Any ideas?
wow....thats a major video-card repulse to flash...
You have flash 7, right?
Never saw that before.
Yeah, i just installed it (on to my storage card). Maybe i should have installed FP on the internal storage? Or is my phone really crappy? (Asus P320)
edit: ok, my phone just sucks. I've reinstalled FP to the internal storage, no effect.
Oh well, the buttons work even if they are unreadable.
I think flash 7 always installs itself to the windows folder, even if you tell him to go to the storage card.
It is because of the rom, something about the video driver that isnt reading the colors correcly, it looks like an old bug in windows 3.11 (PC) that happened if you choose the wrong color limit... Not that this helps on anything... :/
Thanks but no luck. I think it must have something to do with the ROM. I will try it out again after my next ROM flash. I did try your no sd card version also with no luck.
Thanks again!

Could be the ROM... It's custom one. The strange thing is that other apps that require the video card work just fine (games, multimedia, even flash). Anyway, windows mobile is generaly buggy so this doesn't seem all that strange.
Thanks!

Olá twolf,
Thanks for this, it's a funny one!
I've tried to make a CAB for this and it almost worked. The main problem is that you're using "/" as a path separator instead of the standard (in the windows world) "\".
Maybe that is what is also causing problems to other people. If you could use "\" on the registry entry it would greatly simplify installation.
BTW, you keyboard is great, but just try to enter "Cartão de Memória" with it... You should know better!

Obrigado, I didnt understood the "\" "/" problem, but the tool's api I'm using for the registry only works with those commands, if I try to use it any other way it simply wont work...
Ouch, lol...you are right, I never had Windows Mobile in other languages, including my own, so never thought of that, hehehe...
You can still edit the registry manually with a reg tool, sorry about that...
Hi All,
Credits first , thanks to drkfngthdragnlrd for his titanium tutorial & appstar for his titanium installer! Amazing work guys! Special thanks to benven for being a very patient beta tester.
Edit 7/11: Looking for 0.5 cabs? Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3868774&postcount=95 (credit jdmsleepr) & here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4106493&postcount=164 (credit hgage2003). Please note, I haven't done these cabs so all compliments/complaints should go to the poster.
Edit 5/31: Fixed the recurring task bug, now the application doesn't use State & Notification Broker but hooks into Outlook Interop. This means that the application cannot rely on SNB to start itself and hence places a shortcut in windows\startup folder. The task counter now only displays the tasks that are due today instead of all tasks (Pages placement is defined for QVGA only). This version does not require any soft-reset post install/uninstall.
Edit 5/23: Should support most of the resolutions now. If you are on some other resolution than QVGA, extract the default.plg file from default.plg.zip and replace the plg within taskanium.zip with this one before installing. I haven't been able to test the layout for other resolutions so bug reports are welcome.
Edit 5/23: Now with task counter goodness in condensed mode for QVGA in portrait mode! Why only QVGA? Because, it takes a lot of hit and trial to get the placement of the counter and requires good amount of tweaking to show it correctly & since I don't have a VGA/WVGA device; I couldn't really take it up. If you wish you can modify the default.plg file of 0.4b to include the placement of "Pages" counter in the Condensed mode for your resolution before installing 0.4b.
Taskanium is a simple Titanium (WM 6.5) plugin which displays the list of active tasks within the titaniun plugin and allows you to
add a new task
open the active task by clicking
mark the task as complete (right soft-key)
Pre-requisites
1) WM 6.5 with titanium enabled (obviously!).
2) .net CF 2.0 or higher.

Installation:
Currently, there is no cab file for installation (cause I am really tired and it's late night!), the installation is straightforward:
1) unzip the zip file within \program files\taskanium (the path is hard-wired, so unzipping it somewhere else would not work*).
2) click on taskaniumInstall file (if you don't see any error messages it means the installation was successful). * taskaniumInstaller is just a lnk file, if you know how to modify it; you can modify it to point to some other installation folder (along with taskaniumUninstall). The link files are the only place where the path is hard-wired, rest all should work.
3) soft-reset (yes, you have to else you will only see "add a new task" in titanium).
Uninstallation:
1) Click on taskaniumUnInstall.
2) delete the entire taskanium folder
3) soft-reset (required again).
The current location in plg for this plugin is set to 2.
KNOWN ISSUES:
1) completing a recurring task doesn't refresh the plugin unless you add/remove a simple task. I still haven't been able to figure out why
2) Uninstallation at times still keeps taskanium.exe running even after a reset (again, don't really know why), the work around for now is to delete the entire taskanium folder after running taskaniumUninstall & before soft-resetting.
STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY, This works on my phone (asus P525 with andrewsh's rom) and should ideally work on your phone too without any issues, but if you believe it might cause something crazy on your phone DON'T INSTALL IT!
History
5/15/09: 0.1 Beta.
Change log: First version.
-----------------------
5/16/09: 0.2 Beta
Change log: Flushed the keys in installation, which should hopefully fix the issue with plugin not persisting post soft-reset.
-------------------------------------------------------
5/17/09: 0.2 RC
Change log: Defined the plg file based on layout of Appstar's favPeople to support different resolutions (haven't been able to test it myself as I only have a QVGA phone, bug reports are welcome).
-------------------------------------------
5/17/09: 0.3
Change log:Fixed the max number of pages to 15 (+2), in case there are more than 15 tasks, the last page displays number of remaining tasks and opens tasks.exe by default. This should fix the issue with people having a lot of active tasks (100+?) and the plugin going kaput.
2) Moved the plugin back to 10th position instead of 2nd.
---------------------------------------------------
5/23/09: 0.4b (taskanium-qvga-04b.zip)
Change log: Added the task counter in condensed view for QVGA portrait mode. Uninstall the previous version before installing the new one.
-----------------------------------------
5/21/09: 05b
Change log:
* Fixed the recurring task bug.
* Changed font in plg file from Tahoma to Segoe UI.
* Changed the task counter to display only due today task.
* Removed dependency on Persistent SNB.
---------------------------------
5/21/09: 0.5
Change log: Fixed a silly bug. If you have installed 0.5b, please upgrade to 0.5 to this version.
Does that use the AT installer? That means, the other panels will not be affected when installing this one?
BLAM! Finally a task plugin! THANK YOU! will test asap.
Great idea! Just downloaded. Unfortunately, all I get is a blank panel after a soft reset. If you scroll up/down, the right soft key pulls in from that panel. Titan running a 21222 ROM.
benven,
do you mind posting a screenshot of what you are getting, after a soft-reset and check in (process) Task Manager if taskanium.exe is running after a soft-reset (open Task Manager, click on View-->Processes)? Also, just trying to understand the the problem that you're having, in the collapsed titanium view; you don't see the "tasks" label but see a blank place-holder; is that right? And, if you select this blank place-holder do you see at least "Add a new task" as in screenshot#2 above? The blank place-holder could be due to the fact that I am only updating one reg key for the plugin text ([email protected]l).
This does use ATInstaller so other plugins should be un-affected.
Thanks in advance for helping me troubleshoot this.

Please read the first post, it's QVGA only (for now) and doesn't support Touch HD (WVGA). The current default.plg only defines layouts for QVGA portrait and landscape mode only.
Hi sn123. Thanks for all your help. I don't have screen snapshot software on my device. I'll download the latest version and report back.
Hi sn123, tried the latest version. But I still get the same result Attached is a screenie scrolling down from the music tab.

benven, do you mind sharing your titanium_240x320.cpr file?
apologies for more questions, but if I understand correctly that once you select the blank plugin; the right soft-key does change to something like "Complete or New"; it's just that you don't see any text either in "condensed view" (when the plugin is collapsed and even if you select the blank plugin, is that correct?
Yes, the right soft key changes to the panel's right key I was at previously. So for the attached example I went from the music panel to the task panel and it picked up the right key for the music panel. Also, nothing happens when I press on the panel or use the right soft key. Could it be the number of tasks?? I have probably over 150 tasks sync'd up. cpr file attached.
benven, I think most probably the blank task panel is due to the customized theme that you are using (the one that you are using is not the titanium default) and has nothing to do with number of tasks that you have (I have tested it with around 100 tasks on my phone and it does work).
There are two things that you can do to hopefully get it to work:
1) Open the default.plg file in taskanium folder in a text editor and change the position to 1 from 10 (within <position></position>
2) Replace all instances of Tahoma with Segoe UI.
After you make these changes just install it again and hopefully it should work. You can also use the default.plg file attached (remove the .txt extension) with the above 2 changes already made and replace the existing plg file with this one.
If it still doesn't work, you can help me further in troubleshooting by using a registry editor (like CERegEditor) and tell me if the following keys are created:
1) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Taskanium (there should be at least 2 subkeys within this: 1) CondensedPage & 2) Page1.
2) HKLM\System\Notifications\Taskanium.
From the bliss theme post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508968
When using third-party or cummunity plugins such as TitaniumWeather, Favorite People make sure you re-install this theme cab after installing the plugins so that the theme and the plugins can coexist together. It doesn't matter if you already have this theme installed and you decide to install the additional plugins, you must install this theme cab after installing any plugin that is supported by this theme.

This kinda makes me believe that the issue is compatibility with the bliss theme; I'll check with rpereira.

PS: Hope you are not on bliss theme too
Wow! You're fast!
Hi sn123. First off thank you very much for your time and help. I uploaded the default.plg file. Checked the registry. All keys are in. I guess I have 118 tasks! Anyway, uninstalled/reinstalled, Taskanium and the Bliss theme on both my Titan and Apache. I am sad to report that it still does the same thing . It must be something with the theme. I'm sure rpereira can help out. He seems like a really good guy and resource. Then again, maybe it's me that's not doing something right! Anyway, I'm going away for a week, so I'l check back when I get back.
sorry that it didn't work for you . It could be due to the number of tasks (perhaps titanium has a cap on number of pages that it would show!). For 15 tasks that I tested it with it seemed to load all the pages.
Once I have some free time, I will perhaps create 118 dummy tasks just to test out .
I am very interested in this project. Will this plugin play nicely with my other titanium panels (incl. Titanium weather) or will kit try to rearrange and/or disable them?

This app lets you pick 3 or 4 columns for your program tab.
It lets you pick if you want All Programs to display it as a list or 4 columns.
It lets you decide how many programs can be on the program tab. (10 to 99).
It lets you backup your program tab, and then restore after flashing a new ROM.
I had previously ported the 4 column program tab enhancemnt by Co0kieMonster.
This app gives you the exact same files from that and original manila files and gives the ability to choose how you currently want it displayed.
Backup and Restore do require that Storage Card is named Storage Card and My Documents is called My Documents
Important Note: This must be installed to the device, not a storage card. (This might not be true anymore.)
Feedback is appreciated, especially positive.
If you like this app and feel like donating, here is a link:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=7380024
Did this app save you time after flashing? What is your time worth?
Isn't it worth throwing a couple bucks my way. Thanks in advance.

Initial Release
Frequntly Asked Questions / Known Issues
Known issues:
This does not add the registry entries that the 4 column enhancement provides.
They might already be there in the base VGA Manila 2.1.
If your ROM does not have the 4 column enhancement, you might need to install it first.
It can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554330
Frequently Asked Questions:
Can I cook this in my ROM?
I can't really stop you, so if you do, please donate a small portion of the donations that you receive for the ROMs you provide.
Exception to that request. NRGZ28 has my personal approval to cook this into his Raphael ROMs if he chooses to do so.
Any chef that donates does as well.
If it's cooked in a ROM, I will likely recieve nothing from the users of the ROM.
A cooked ROM is obviously worth more than any ingrediant.
But, the suppliers of the ingrediants should get something.
So, if you get $500 from a ROM you cook, throw me a bone.
I'm not looking to get rich from this, but I'd like to get a little something for what I produce.
Will this work with the ROM I am using?
If the ROM you are using is VGA and uses Manila 2.1, it will work.

Funny.
Thinking more along the lines of what schneid posted in the Raph Energy thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4793714&postcount=9640
I'm liking the ones he posted. I kind of want it to indicate a little more what it does. But they are definate possibilities. They look real nice.
Good job. Cant wait for the program tab backup feature. I was backing up the registry before, but everytime I disable manila, import reg entry, and re-enable(even after soft reset) all icons are gone with a grey box in their place. Anyway, thanks.
Something like this perhaps?
But obviously tidier than my effort!

I figured out how to solve the icon issue, just set icon path to blank for each program entry
HKLM\Software\manila\ProgramLauncher\0
iconPath=blank
using regedit backup and restore, for some reason it resotores it to 0 or 8.
So, until I get this done. that is one way to restore the program tab between ROM flashes.
In any case, it is fiigured out, so now I just need to write code.
Hi!
I have a question, m is it possible to change number of shown icons?
If yes, can you add this to your program
I would like to reduce it, to see all icons only with one slide...
Thanks

Great. I have used that knowledge and added Backup/Restore of program tab via my FlashBack Tool with autorestore when flashing a new ROM
I'm sure your version will be much better and wont have evrything else included that FlashBack has
Backup coded!
I have the backup portion coded.
It produces a reg file, without all the extra entries.
I'm thinking iconPath and IsReadOnly aren't really needed for backup.
From my experience,
IconPath is always ""
IsReadOnly is always 0
Anyone have any different experience with those or need for backing them up and restoring them?
I'm just trying to keep the file as clean as possible.
I Plan to have restore always put the IconPath to "" and IsReadOnly to 0
I still need to code restore, but I think I might call it a night.
After restore is coded, I'll post an updated version.
Program Icon - Program Name
I'm thinking of calling this Program Tab Toolbox.
Since, I am having backup and restore.
And plan to make it so the user can control how many programs can be set. From the day I did the VGA port, I've know how to do this. I just need to code it. It's just registry manipulation.
And I plan to make it so the user can control the order of the programs on the tab. (not for all programs)
So I think I would like the icon to be the icon that you slide to from the Energy ROM, with something like a wrench and screwdrivr or some tool. My art skills are pretty bad so help on this is appreciated.

Actually, you can delete the IconPath entry all together(this is what I am doing after impoting the reg entries) and it works great. IsReadOnly is something that OEM manufacturers put in there so they can lock certain items in. These can also be deleted. They are actually set to 1 by default in the original Packages, but I always make them at 0 so that users can select their own. There is also an entry in there for "Command" or something similar which can mess things up if left behind and using programs in those spots(ie if you replace the Activesync item and dont remove command it sends a command to the new program "/remote" which can make the new program act funny. These should be removed or set to blank "".
About the 3 icon file that you have:
Seems it might be from manila 2.0 or something because the size of the buttons are smaller. I have this setup that I made which makes the buttons original size. Maybe you can include these instead?

Thanks. They were Manila 2.1, but not version 1.5. They were from the last Energy ROM that was Manila 2.1 that did not have the 4 column enhancement that I ported. And that was before 1.5 came out.
I'll put these in. Thanks again.
Icon Request
I do need it to be in ico format.
I edited this. I don't need 4 bit, thankfully. I added an ico file that I downloaded and it even has a 256x256 png in it.
I can just put png source files in, so I am currently using one by schneid posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4793714&postcount=9640
I learned a little put about ico editting in Visual Studio today.

It seems that the editted version to support of 6ec19d9f_manila was in this zip. With the supplied files in the zip, there isn't a way to get the All Programs to appear as a list.
I'll have to go with my original files for now.
New version posted
i just uploaded a new version that has an icon by Schneid and supports backup and restore.
It also has an about page.
Limitations of backup and restore.
Backup will produce a reg file that can be imported with regedit.
But, Restore does not just import the reg file generically.
It relies on the reg file being in the format that it produces.
A future vrsion might more generically import.
Also, for each program, it only backs up the dispName and Path.
On import, it gets rid of things like command, and icon path, and anything else that was stored under a program slot.
The 2 options of backup and restore are enabled, whether you have a storage card or not.
Also restore is enabled whether the file exist or not.
It should fail gracefully if you do something that you shouldn't.

Sashimi Compatible
Auto Updates if new version is released
******
and....
You can add options you would like to see on the backup list by posting to this thread.
*******
Whats new?
version 2.0 now adds the ability to add or remove items that you dont use.
Example, if you dont use Garmin, you have the ability to not include it in your list of backupables.
However, I only have options i use or once used. So if you would like options added, please tell me what they are and i will add the option right away.
My Inspiration was....
Well I created a program that was originally intended to backup my Wisbar Advanced Desktop theme to my Sashimi folder.
Since I do alot of tweaking on it, I always wanted to have the most recent changes, incase I had to do a hard reset.
Then I started thinking.
What about a "Restore" option.
this would allow an undo option.
Example) you deleted a page by mistake, or you totally messed something up.
just restore your theme and your back to where you were.
***Notes
1) This is ApptoDate compatible
If you do not have ApptoDate installed, it will install it on its own.
2) Your storage Card must be called "Storage Card"
3) This is Sashimi Compatible
However you do not need to use sashimi for this to work
4) You must have mortscript installed
You can find that here
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=65
5) This DOES NOT overwrite your themes, this will first delete the theme completely, then copy your theme over.
This is done so that your not adding, and adding, features to a theme that do not belong.
Example, You deleted your page games.
but your last back up had the page games.
If We did not delete the entire theme, the page games would still be there plus your newest theme.
6) This does not copy over images, as people store their images in various locations.
9) The more themes in your THEME directory, the longer it will take.

Click to collapse
ANY suggestions are welcome
How to use,
Simply run the program.
Chose your selection.
it will add everything to your sashimi folder.
If you dont use sashimi, it will still back up to your storage card.
Now if you do a hard reset, sometimes your contacts wont show.
Simply run the program, Restore PIM and voila, your contacts and calander are restored.

added sms backup
1.16 added misc info about your phone, like storage card space, system info, misc crap.
1.20
added automatic update feature
added confirmation of selection
had to remove sms backup.
but am working on it.
found it wasnt working
v1.26
Added option to run backup every 12 hours.
Does this silently.
Option is to turn it on, or turn it off.
figured 12 hours was best twice a day.
wanted to give you guys a heads up of a coming update.
I am adding the ability to customize this program to suite your PERSONAL needs.
For instance, if you dont use WAD you can have it so it will not show up on the backup list
or if you use Opera and only opera, well thats all you will have for choices.
And you can always add items and remove items.
this will allow me to add thousands of possibilities
Facebook
any GPS program
Wisbar
opera
PIM
the list is endless
since you will be able to add the things you want in your back up list of choices.
The new update will auto download just like all the other updates.
so keep an eye out for it.
also if you have options you would like to see on the list of possible items to backup / restore please post them so i can add them to the customizable list.
2.0 is out now

Hi I like the look of this App, having had a gander at Sashimi, it seemed silly having to back up items before reinstalling with Sashimi (i.e. wireless monitor data etc in the App data folder), I could just copy & paste after changing roms.
I am new to the rom world and have tried one of the custom roms found on here and would like to try another, what has put me of so far is the setting up from scratch again, could you include folders like App data (also in this folder is the weather locations).
The stocks and shares would also be nice and finally, I have tried the Sashimi XML files for e-mails and made a right pigs ear of it (I assume it was me and not the prog) even though trying several guides and attempts but progs like spb backup re-install them a treat, could you include these settings in the backup. Many thanks for listening.

MichelDiamond has given us such a wonderful tool in CHTS 2.30. Of the many functions available in the application, Layout Switching is an amazingly powerful part and it seems to be relatively unused, with the exception of file backup. BHSInterceptor and I have been successful at changing our phone themes on the fly from such popular themes as Touch of Glass to Sencity. All without having to install a cab on our phones. The key to this switching are XML files that are saved in the windows directory when you install CHTS. I will upload copies of these files here for you to look at, along with some additional ones for other tabs and applications on your phone. These XML files can be added, removed or edited as you need for your themes.
CHTS Layout Saving Options
In the CHTS Menu, there are a couple different options that use these XML files for saving. There is Full Sense Backup, Layout Saving and Baseline Saving. The Full Sense Backup and Baseline saving are both there as a fallback, in case you need to restore your phone to a previous state.
When saving your layout with CHTS, there are several options to choose from. What exactly you want to save will determine which method you will use. You can save a "Standard Layout" or an "Extended Layout". Both methods will save your CHT settings, the difference is that "Standard" will only save the items associated with your Home Tab, including all widgets and add-ons. Extended will save items for all Sense Tabs, this includes everything that would be saved with the "Standard". With either one of those layouts, you can also save all of your start menu icons. One other option you will see there is to save your "CHT(E) Settings Only".
When you first install CHTS on your phone, I recommend you first save a Baseline and then save an initial Full Sense Backup.
Baseline Saving: This is the most basic Layout you can save. Baseline will save the same files that are defined in the XMLs for the "Layout - Standard", except it won't save any of the quicklink information.
Full Sense Backup: This is the most complete Layout you can save. Full Sense Backup will save ALL manila files in your Windows directory, in addition to all other files defined in the XML files. With this method, all of the manila files will be zipped and stored to save space. This compression happens on the fly as you save the Layout.
Layout Saving - Standard: This will save all of the items from your Sense Home Tab. Including the following: Widgets, Clocks, Quicklinks, Freelinks, Positions of all of them, configuration,... All xml files that are CHTWidget_**.xml will be backed up here. This would be the method to use if the only thing you are themeing is your home tab.
Layout Saving - Extended: This will save all items saved in the Layout - Standard, in addition to items from other tabs defined in the XML files CHTTheme_**.xml. In the release of CHTS 2.30, this includes most of the standard sense tabs. All xml files that are CHTWidget_**.xml and CHTTheme_**.xml are backed up here.
In the CHTS 2.30 release cab, the following XML files are included:
CHTTheme_BasicWeather
CHTTheme_Calendar_Tab
CHTTheme_CommonFiles
CHTTheme_Email_Tab
CHTTheme_Home_Tab_Subs
CHTTheme_Internet_Tab
CHTTheme_Messaging_Tab
CHTTheme_MusicPlayer_Tab
CHTTheme_People_Tab
CHTTheme_Photo_Tab
CHTTheme_Settings_Tab
CHTTheme_Stock_Tab
CHTTheme_Twitter_Tab
CHTTheme_Weather_Tab
CHTWidget_Basic
CHTWidget_BasicHometab
CHTWidget_CHTS
CHTWidget_TabSlider
The attached zip file contains all of the CHTTHeme files listed above and also includes the following tab files:
CHTTheme_Documents_Tab
CHTTheme_Facebook_Tab
CHTTheme_Footprints_Tab
CHTTheme_Mode9_Lua
This zip files will be updated periodically as I add more xml files and add file names to the ones that already exist. The version number will be the date on the file. I will be going through some available themes to verify that they work with CHTS when using this group of files. The goal is that if you install a theme and want to change back to where you started, you will be able to use CHTS to switch back and forth.
CHTS XML Files
The XML files for CHTS are lists of files that should be backed up. These can be any files in the "Windows" directory on your phone. These XML files can be added and removed from you phone and you can change the files listed in them as you see fit. These files can also be a great way to figure out what "manila" qtc files are used for the gaphics on most of the sense tabs. We spent a lot of time going through each tab so that we could layout these XML files, so they are also a great starting point for anyone who wants to skin sense.
An example of one section in the XML files is:
<AnalogClock
Description="Analog Clock"
SubDescription="Clockface and hands"
analogclock ="20F62884_manila"
hourHand ="0AB9C3F4_manila"
minuteHand ="4BDFBA48_manila"
secondHand ="2A87D392_manila"
ClockDot ="7126E342_manila"
analogclocknight ="3C87827D_manila"
hourHandnight ="5CCDF1ED_manila"
minuteHandnight ="5E305741_manila"
secondHandnight ="4B1CC00B_manila"
ClockDotnight ="6294D3BB_manila"
Co0kieAnalogClock_mode9 ="1E1A6CCD_manila"
LuaScript_HomeAnalogClock ="1EC5924B_manila"
/>
How to for the users.
A basic step by step of how I change my Layouts
1. Copy the XML files from post 1 to your Windows folder. This will add and update the XML files from the original CHTS install.
2. Perform a Baseline Save, a Full Sense Save and then save your current layout extended style before doing any switching. I usually do all three after each flash of my phone. This way I know that I can always go back to where I started.
3. Copy one of the pre-built themes from below to your _CHTScheduler folder on your Storage Card. Or, install your favorite theme cab files to change your phone.
4. Once these new theme files are on your phone, you can tweak this layout to what you like and then save it as a new Layout that will include all of your CHT settings as well.
Once you have a couple Layouts saved on your SD card, you can use SwitchGUI to change between them.
I will expand on these steps with some screen shots. Also, please give me some feedback and questions so I know what isn't clear. It is a bit tough to start writing, since I have been doing this so long I take for granted how easy it can be.
Also, if you have a theme you like and want me to either setup a folder for it or at least check to see if it is fully switchable, just post a link in this thread to the theme and I'll check it out!

First tool I will list here is CFC-GUI. This tool will allow you to look at, identify and edit all of the qtc image files that are saved as manila files. For more explanation, see the thread here. You should also check out the version of this program that I updated to include almost all of the image files found on the newer Sense 2.5 ROMs. You can find that in this post here.

Ber, you're back! Sad to say, I got bored with the lack of development on the WinMo and I bought myself a HTC Inspire 4G. I still have the HD2 sitting here, but I have not even powered it up in a couple months now.
Yes my friend, I know how you feel.... I´m thinking to get me a new set atm, a Flyer, a Sensation and a small Wildfire S. Guess it´s time to move on to the dark side, but with Sense
Probably will get them for x-mas, so I´ll be playing around for another month. Take care and "read ya"

Hey, you take care too. I'll see you over on the dark side, I am just starting to get a feel for how Android is set up. But it is all still so new, I am happy with it. I am sure I'll get the itch at some point to dig in and change stuff. Later.
