Ok guys, so this is my new thread. I will keep information, screenshots, and files updated here.
IT WORKS!! I've been disassembling and reassembling this cab file for a while now. I finally got it pretty stable. I removed some files that are not needed and added the appropriate files to work on the Excalibur. I tweaked shellres.dll so the Storage Card issue is gone! I also tweaked and reinserted the appropriate CPR files. I replaced the thin looking top bar icons in the original tshres.dll to the 96dpi icons. MUCH BETTER! If you are using Kavana's ROM, disable ClockOnTop as it doesn't display properly. The program seems to uninstall just fine as well if you're worried about that.
Version info:
Version 1.70 works on WM6.5 based WWE ROMS
Version 1.6c works on Kavana and Rose based WWE ROMS
NOTE: PLEASE TEST AT YOUR OWN RISK. THIS APP WILL WORK ON MOST WM6.1 WWE (World Wide English) ROMS. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE OR LOSE DATA. ALL PHONES AND ROMS ARE DIFFERENT AND UNKNOWN CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR (you may lose data). Thanks to lukybandit for the original post and enyone else who contributed.
Directions:
- For WM6.5, run 3VO_96DPI_WM65_v1.70.cab or (1.6c for WM6.1)
- Reboot when it asks
- With 1.6c, if your topbar icons appear as white blocks, try running OOK_96DPI_WM61_Patch.cab (and reboot after install)
- Important: Do not run OOK_96DPI_WM61_Patch.cab if your top bar icons appear fine
- To uninstall, go to Remove Programs and uninstall it then REBOOT
- **Note: If upgrading from a previous version, uninstall it first, REBOOT, then install the new version
If you have custom CPR files in the \Windows directory, back them up. This app installed modified CPR files in the \Windows directory to accomodate for the increased screen size and resolution.
Screenshots below:
UPDATE: 1/17/2009, 10:45PM PST, 1.5b works great on ROSE based ROMS! Fixed background misalignment. Note that background image should be 320x240 or so in size. I edited CPR files in \Windows to fix this. If you have a custom CPR file (due to a weather program or something), back it up and then edit the first line and use these values, <Image ID="Background" Opacity="1.0" Top="-17" Width="320" Height="213"/>. Still have the Comm Manager bug in Rose ROMS, working on it.
UPDATE: 1/18/2009, 12:40PM PST, 1.52b for Kavana and 1.53b for ROSE. Fixed some font issues and resized the Rinku topbar icons to fit 96dpi.
UPDATE: 2/21/2009, 10:20PM PST, 1.54 for ROSE ROMS uploaded. Fixed some call screen background problems.
UPDATE: 2/22/2009, 6:30PM PST, 1.55 for ROSE ROMS uploaded. Fixed Opera Mini font problem and adjusted other font sizes. 1.53 for Kavana WM61 ROMS uploaded and also fixed Opera Mini fonts (good find, fliparsenal).
UPDATE: 5/8/2009, 6:20PM PST, 1.6 for ALL WM6.1 ROMS. Comm Manager still not pretty but working on it.
UPDATE: 5/9/2009, 10:20PM PST, 1.6c for ALL WM6.1 ROMS. Updated InnerCircle DLL for 96dpi icon. Comm Manager NOW works in 1.6c (screenshot below) except for the "settings" soft key. To access settings, use settings/connection menu. Should be fixed by next release.
UPDATE: 5/12/2009, 10:50PM PST, 1.6c still for ALL WM6.1 ROMS. Uploaded OOK_96DPI_WM61_Patch.cab for ROMs that have a problem reading the bitmap resource from the DLLs. This works on Kavana's China ROMs and other ROMS not yet tested on. Please test.
UPDATE: 6/14/2009, 1:45PM PST, 1.70 up for testing on WM6.5. It may have bugs as I kinda slapped it together due to overwhelming requests! Please test and report bugs.
Files:
3VO_96DPI_WM65_v1.70.zip
OOK_96DPI_WM61_v1.6c.zip - With new updated Comm Manager (please test)
OOK_96DPI_WM61_Patch.cab - Patch for China and other ROMs
Please continue bug testing and post your results.

Thats bizzare. I am running 1.55 on my Dash right now and no problems. And it appears in the Remove Programs list. Not sure what happened. Are you sure you didn't run the Kavana one by accident? Reboot the phone, run the installer again without running dpi.ccs. It should then appear in remove programs. Then try to remove it as needed.
Also, did you reboot after you uninstalled 1.53? Very important.

if you have any of the rose roms celecmd should be included. its called command processor in start menu
run dpi.css and it wont do anything it lookslike but it did.
the only thing now is the wallpaper fix, it doesnt stretch all the way to the bottom of the screen, not a big deal

Hmmmmmm, thought I fixed that. Can you post a screenshot?
Everything is good, i like it but I cant get the commanager to appear. It just loads but never comes thru. Also, Windows Media isn't Stretched...
It looks great, but now it's a little slow my dash freezes in the when I access picture & videos. When I try to close then in task manager they will not close. I have to turn off the phone. Also the jogger started dancing around on its own. again I had to soft reset to clear up the problem. These are all issues I did not have on the Rose Rom ( Ricky & Stylez ver )
oh i think its cause i need to edit the .cpr..thing is i cant find it in the windows directory. which files? all i see are the .cpl
I installed the Rose Rom version and everything works great, except that my windows start menu icon does not look like the one in the picture. The icons in my start menu are also a little grainy now and I had to increase my default font size through Accessibility in the settings menu to make the text messages and contacts list larger and readable.
Does anyone know of an easy font changer program to increase font size and pick a different font?
hey i just installed it now...i am having the same problem as when you first came out with it...after i installed it the nrg weather program icons do not work...as i figured since they weren't made for this...i am using kavana's rom 080408 if that's correct...anyways i am being lazy but i thought you guys will know what weather program works with it..thanks
nrgs mini weather works fine, usually i have to reinstall it aftere installing the 96dpi. try that.
@fliparsenal....thanks
i feel like an idiot...
anyone can help me wit editing the cpr files so i can fix the wallpaper issue?
This post has 2 questions.
Intro: I have a HTC HD flashed with Dutty's 3.7 XT ROM MSVC. I have used HD tweak as the tweak tool.(I am not sure this is relevant).
1) I downloaded Diamond tf3d config and installed it. I tried running it and get an error as soon as it starts. I tried the standard fixes including deleting the tweaks file as well as ensuring the "PressureThreshold" key is a DWORD. It makes no change, the program still gives an error. Could anyone suggest a fix.
2) I want to use tf3d config only for installation of .theme files. Is there an alternate app to do this? Also I know that i can just extract the .theme file as a zip file into the windows folder and restart touchflo for changes. However how do I remove the theme? I read somewhere that I can just delete the replaced files and the original files will be self re-generated. Is this true?
Please respond.
I Dont Believe That Diamond TF3D Config Functions Properly With New Manila Someone Feel Free To Correct Me If I Am Wrong
Well, now that you mention it I remember that tf3d config worked for the stock rom which has old manilla, and doesn't work with dutty's rom with new manilla which I am now using.
So if I cant use tf3d config does anyone know an alternate way of installing .theme files other than tf3d config.
Yeah I'm interested in alternative ways to install themes aswell, can't get TF3D Config to work at all
Yeah, I finally found out that tf3dconfig does not work with the new manilla. to install the theme, change the file extension of the theme file to zip, extract and replace the contents in the windows folder. Am not too sure how to uninstall.
All this information was found after 4 days of searches in xda. the search function on the site does seem to be strange as I ended up with the relevant result on the last page.

Answer to your second question:
You can press and hold on the icons in the startmenu and move them to the top In build 23037 (which I run with) you can actually move them around by press and holding them;-) maybe it can do in the earlier versions too?
Regards
vido
As far as I know the icons in the Manila programs tab have the same icons as the ones in the wm start menu (in newer versions atleast) how to change them only in Manila I do not know but in the wm start menu it can easily be done with HComber or reSTART.
And as virupan said it is possible to change the order of the icons.
I'm a beta-testor of one of the(if no the) best French ROM (Eclipse from Miammiam) wich is runnig the newest version of Manila and i find this Slider ugly. So, is it possible that someone make a Slider with the oldest icons(Not B&W, just colored as Hero's Sense icons) please.
Thanks a lot if someone do that.
PS:I'm running 21864 WM 6.5
Im not sure its possible, I tried converting kitchen files and Windows files in mode9 but didnt find all the slider files for some reason, good luck I'd like to know how to replace them myself.
Oh that's bad ...

Hello,
i just want to share my Homescreen-Appearance with all of you and give the germans out there a helpin hand.
It took/takes alot of time to find the files and cabs that made the homescreen look like the screens attached, and so its easier to find them in one single post.
Everybody who wants to have a nearly german manila can use the files attached.
Everybody else: only the files that are described to be german are german so u can use the other files without limitation
All files can be found in xda-forum or htc-developers etc...
They are free to download, therefore BIG THX to the developers.!
I haven't made the cabs/manila-files myself so i CAN'T and WON'T give support if they don't work with your HD.
The manila-language files are edited by myself.
I'm using Miri WM 6.5 WWE 21889 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 18.0 (latest Manila 1922 and working "My Location" signed rilphone 1.15.25.14, cab from Cortez.I)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542104
Radio: 1.17.25.09
So i can fully confirm they are workin with this ROM and RADIO.
If I change the language of a WWE Rom via the registry i loose at least SMS incoming sound, there is no fix!, so far (others reported u will loose much more...)
So i decided to edit only the manila language files to have most of the functions and buttons in GERMAN and set the manila to german in settings: (Settings->Locale & text->Location->Region:German(Germany)) for correct Date and Currency!
The manila files have to be copied with Total-Commander (or similar tool) to the \Windows\*.* folder and overwrite the old ones,
AFTER removing the DESCRIPTION i added to file name. Example:
2c89bd29_manila25-germanhomescreen ---> 2c89bd29_manila (its the language file for "normal" WWE en-us)
And of course u have to Softreset after installing the cabs or files!
U cannot rollback after u copied the files unless u saved the original files first or someone is making a .cab of them!!!
5fa4d4b7_manila25-wvganoflippingclock:
the clock still flips but the unnecessary flipping if u are going back to homescreen will be stopped.
The background is stock right after flashing the ROM. But i have switched off the Weather animation via registry because if u switch the animation off by using an animation wallpaper, there is no simply black Background (Miri has cooked this background from the LEO)
HKCU/Software/HTC/manila/Home.WallpaperMode
change from dword 0 to dword:1.
The weather animation in Home tab will be disabled
I hope, everybody is enjoying these changes like i do....
P.S. rest of the files second post.
