Hi
I have a question.
I found a thread in which they put some files in to change all backgroounds in all tabs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2869354&postcount=571
So I downladed the files and unzipped them on the PC.
I got 2 files:
5c9aa261_manila
4a087e41_manila
So I thought I had to copy them into the windows folder of the touch hd (am I right?). So I did. The file "4a087e41_manila" copies as it should, but when I try to copy the file "5c9aa261_manila" it says that it has to replace an already existing file. Then I click yes and it says thats not able to overwrite the file, cos its in use.
So does somebody know how to do that and if I am on the right way to install it? (didnt find a howto to install this backgroundmod )
Thanks in advance!

use total commander to copy and paste it then it will let you overwrite it or stop tf3d and use TC. it worked great for me but just an FYI, you have to mod the manilla file with a 256x256 pic or you will end up with a white backgroun on every tab instead of your pic

I made my own manila file and think it looks terrible with this. IT stretches the 256x256. Any chance odf using 512x512 or soemthing that doesnt have to be a perfect square?
You've probably worked this out for yourself by now, but i think the trick here is to pick an image that looks good at 800x480 and then use PSP or similar to squish it to 256x256. The HD seems to resize the image to something acceptable when it renders it.
Worked for me anyway. Having said that, the image quality isn't fabulous - decent but not spectacular - from what looked to be a good starting image, so maybe I'm doing something wrong - I'd expect a decent image on a screen like the HD's.
Any other suggestions from those that have already replaced backgrounds?
that is precisely what I am doing with the exact same result. In addition, it seems to position the image a hair to the left..... not sure why.
I reckon we're losing detail when the image is compressed and which the HD can't recover when it renders the image. There ought to be a way of sorting this out as there seem to be other examples of decent quality backgrounds on the forum. Maybe these are only home tsb backgrounds though?
Of the two files that change the background I reckon the one that starts with 5 is the one that tells HD what and how to display. If I knew how to edit this I reckon it the displacement issue could be sorted out and it might even be possible to use a bigger image. I'm poking around in the dark though.
work great for me !! tnx !!

Can somebody explain this to me?
Hi guys
I installed the two manila files "5c9aa261_manila" and "4a087e41_manila" (see attached in "manila files.zip") into the windows folder and then reactivated TF3D.
Then I say that the background changed well in all tabs. It seemed everything was all right til I saw this (picture attached). In the all programs list and the share portfoilo tab I see instead of a all white backgroud a dark bar in the upper half of the screen showing the background installed on all tabs.
Now I wanted to know how I could solve this. Hope someone could help me.
Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem. I've even hard reset the device and applied this tweak with the same result. Anyone else have a suggestion??
I have the same problem... and it didnt bug me before but it really bugs me now... it happens in all TF3D applications, all programs, Album etc.
Appreciate any advice on how to fix this.
Anyone.. perhaps the original author of the thread.. are we the only two people seeing this issue?
I do not have a solution to that, but what I have noticed quite often earlier on the HD (not sure if it was the case with the Diamond, as the Diamond backgrounds looked better) but whenever you set a background the NORMAL way (using the settings tab) then the background also becomes quite unsharp, indicating that the phone makes a snapshot of the image which is a lot smaller, and which then gets scaled back up when displayed on the home screen.
I don't know why manila does this, or why HTC decided to do this, perhaps to conserve memory but come on, an 800x480 image does not have to be big.
Wanna see what I mean, watch a razor sharp picture in album viewer then put it on your background, it will be unsharp, like it's a blown up very small image.
If anyone has any clue on how to change this, to be able to use sharp backgrounds, i'd be grateful.

They had little luck getting as far as you probably did... maybe they have some info that may be usefull to you...
Just out of curiosity, after its done will you consider vga/qvga resolutions too?
Keep up the great work and if you need any help on icons, graphics or something let me know.

i will need to redesigh all maps after this
so i will need your help but first we need to load an reduce map on the ppc
i have also on xperia forum in my kitchen the link for warcraft II and transport tycoon

Wooohooo, and there's the next great Desktop game coming to us!
BTW: I can test it on my Diamond for VGA users if you wish!
i think there is easyer way to do it for VGA - this is WVGA and all the graphics have their sizes fixed ....
i will have to find my starcraft cds ... to start experiment on this
OMG if you guys can get this working on VGA as good as warcraft2 runs and as bug free I (and im sure many others) will donate!!!!!!!!!! HUGE starcraft fan here =)
WOOHOO....HUGE Starcraft fan here too. I can't wait for Starcraft II to be released. I have both original CD's of Starcraft I and Brood Wars. I still play this today. I have many more missions (maps) from users on the internet. Some are awesome.
I swear I will buy a WVGA device just to be able to play this game!!! I will certainly use my wife's Xperia to test it once it's going.
bump.. no helpers? =)
Why dont you try to run it on VGA, it will start, but some of the things may be cutted from the both sides

I was a fan myself, and I guess I still am, so I would like to help, let me know what I can do.
my spare time is very limited but I'll try.
I cant program, so I can only help on the images...
Wouldn't it be easier to get a working VGA game, since StarCraft runs in VGA natively? And if you want to make it WVGA, you would stretch the aspect ratio of the game?
Normally I prefer to have correct aspect before full-screen, but perhaps it's different on such a small screen.
Anyway, StarCraft would be the NUMBER ONE GAME I'd like to have on PPC, bar none. And, I do have a Diamond - so I'm quite biased towards the VGA version...
Amazing! Can't wait to see it, I really hope you bring it to VGA. If you need someone to help test it on a VGA device, my Touch Pro is at your disposal.

LANDSCAPE WORKING
original method taken from Showaco
Ive spent quite a bit of time working on this now so i feel i can receive some credit for all of this work
Start Menu All Programs 4 iCONS (not working on programs page)
-[CAB]
v3.2
V3.3 - ONLY FOR LATEST MANILA 2.1.x
--------
-[OEM] -(copy file into manila directory in your kitchen)
V3.2
Does this only change the "All Programs" page or does it bring back the old style
start menu and bring back the programs tab?
Would it be possible to just create a cab that changes the "All Programs" section
to the 4 icons view instead of that massive long list that exists as of this moment.
i think the start menu need to be spaced out a bit more if anyones intrested ill keep updating
it should do both, thats what ive been trying to achieve if u want just the all programs to be boxes i should be able to do that for you
The "Start Menu" just looks too close and squashed and is it me or is it padded
to much from the left.
The "All Programs" screen looks fine though.
So would it be possible to only have "All Programs" and not the "Start Menu" mate?
Edit:
Just read your post, could you do that for me please. I like the new Start Menu Rhodium has and I prefer 3 applications per
row but definetely want to change the "All Programs" bit.
Navigating through a list is just too long. I don't understand what HTC were thinking LOL
yea it is , same thing i thought but it is a working example ill do you the all programs only now should be easy enough

Hi guys,
For those of you who still use iGO8 and haven't changed to Primo, I thought to share how the iGO8(480x272) looks on the HD Mini.
I've tested a few changes in the sys file until I've got iGO8 to look decent on the Mini considering the HVGA resolution and the fact that I didn't find a proper branding/data.zip out there with 320x480.
I thought 480x272 is quite close to 320x480 in landscape, the difference is only 48 pixels...
Have a look the the attached picture. You will lose 48 pixels on the bottom of the screen. If you still like it this is how you do it.
If you managed to start iGO8 go to your sys file and modify:
[rawdisplay]
class="rlandscape"
screen_x=480
screen_y=272
vga =0
highres=0
strech=1
If you didn't manage to start it, keep trying. These could be some reasons:
1. Make sure you installed it (in 2257 folder run autorun.exe)
2. Make sure you are editing the right "sys.txt" (it can be only one )
3. Make sure you have the folder ui_igo8/480_272 in you branding.zip and data.zip
If anyone knows better solutions please share.

Sorry but these ones are for Igo Primo not for Igo 8.3...
But why "You will lose 48 pixels on the bottom of the screen."? There's a Dimkavert skin for hd mini and you won't lose any pixel. You'll see the app filling all the screeen.
Try to search on Google. If you don't find it I can send you mine which is working perfectly.
Cheers.
@otsart
I've tested the Dimka skins, which I already had installed on my IGO , but still they don't go full screen. I had a look on his website and his skins are not for HVGA (320x480/480x320). They are working on your mini because you probably have the 480x320 in your branding/data.zip (which I am not able to find anymore) and dimka's skins get stretched somehow. Maybe post the [rawdisplay] section of your sys file so that we'll see how come they work on HVGA.
Many thanks!

Can someone help me pls
I know its a very old thread
ty
iGo MyWay navigation relies on maps and other content located on sdcard in order to operate. I currently have DHD and I was wondering if iGo will work if I switch to One X. Can anyone confirm that it works with internal memory and it doesn't seek for sd card hardware ?
You'll just need to make sure the secondary root paths in your sys.txt point correctly to the location for the content, etc Haven't got my One X yet (Tuesday - damn Easter bank holidays!) but iGo will be one of the first things I put on it once it's rooted. Can anyone who's got one already and got it rooted have a look and see what the 'name' for the 'sdcard' is (look using TC or Root Explorer).

Yes iGo works, but it's not worth the hassle.
iGo is not skinned to the high resolution and even the xda-mod for qvga 940x560 only uses a minor area of the screen. It is not programmed to adapt to other screen sizes but uses skins that are custom made for certain resolutions.
So it runs but you have a nasty black border right (180pix) and bottom (160 pix).
Which is extremely sad because iGo is the best Nav-Software on Android.

Well, that's interesting info but unfortunately I have no other choice. iGo is the only navigation which supports maps in Cyprus.
Got the One X myself...
iGo does work flawlessly, but it is very annoying to see those black borders!
I hope some skinner will make a 1280x720 skin really soon.
Wished I could do it myself, but I do not have the resources to do that (eg. how to make the .gro file, how to set correct screen locations, etc.)

Hi,
Until yesterday i use iGO on Sensation and works great. Now i have HTC One X and waiting for skin. If enybody have skin, please put the link here on on private message. Also, if anybody needs maps for iGo (133 countries), leave message here and will send link for download. Thanks to everybody.

I've got exactly this problem My HTC Desire have Navigon and IGO but when I am trying now install them to my new One X - both ask for data located on SD card.
I understand that there is a virtuall SD card on X but none of my navigators can handle it How have you guys routed to the right place?
Besides, is there are any other navigators that handles HD that One X has?
Hello, I'm using sygic aura. No problems installing, downloading maps (over wi-fi) or running. Dunno if it is running HD but if not scaled up nicely.

That's because you are trying to replace the files outlined in the OP instructions. Just install the stretched version apk of iGo but that will only give you 1280x720, not 800.

The One X's display is 1280x720.
It seems that the stretched version is optimized for the Galaxy note which comes at 1280x800. So scaling that to 720 wide will give length of ~1152.
Igo for Android maximum resolution is 800x600...or around 500000 pixels,it is impossible to expand it to ammount of pixels on One x,I used skin for Sensation(around 860x540),but it is too small for One x screen,like poststamp.So,I switched to Navigon and Ndrive.Mariupol used to make best skins for Android,but even He is blocked by the old structure of igo8(because,Android version is Amigo,which is older than Primo,which is used for iOS version).
Too sad. Unfortunately it's the only one with Cyprus maps. Does anyone know any other app that can read the same maps as iGo (.fbl)? it's my only single choice.

Android Honeycomb intoduced the ability to "Stretch" apps. It is like Zooming in.
The issue with the One X, is that the stretched iGO version available, made by member bobroberts2, is made to be stretched properly on a scale like 1280x800 (Galaxy Note). So, when it is scaled the One X's 720 wode screen, the length will come short of 1280 (~1152).
