How to upgrade?
Method 1: You must've installed the Ollipro's SPL 2.10 and select the option no. 4 which is
" SPL-2.02/2.10 New Bootloader and check the last check box " Is it Hard-SPL?" and then carry on with the upgrade wizard.
or
Method 2: Use SSPL when upgrading by checking the 5th radio button " Force using SSPL"
But I prefer the first method to the 2nd one.
Happy upgrading....
* Atttention Please! Some of the apps in my add-ons is not originally from the original author. So there maybe some compatibility issues with other ROMs. Do not install the applications from the add-ons on other Cooks' ROMs.
My ROM is SDKCert + other certs cooked in. So no need to install SDKCert anymore.

Tips And Tricks!!!
Some simple tricks you can do to improve your device (Very simple but effective) And Some Hints:
1. Improve performance/response time:
- Start > Settings > Phone => Keypad = Off
- Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications; Under Sound Tab => Disable/Untick Events (warings, system events)
2. Your Windows Mobile device is just like your Windows PC. So, soft reset it before going to sleep (or whenever appropriate) once a day to make it runs good at all time.
3. Make sure you install the today plugin apps such as Resco Today Plugin etc. on the internal/device memory. Some today plugin can be installed on the storage card but it'll slow down your system performance a bit.
4. Do not install too many apps on the internal/device memory. Leave as much free space as you can on it. Check whether it can be install on the storage card or not. Normally, don't let it become as low as 8MB free but 10MB is enough already.
5. Know what you're doing such as tampering your system registry. Make sure it can be done and you're doing it the right way. If not, then leave it as is.

It's not a tab, it a dropdown box. When you open the phone settings, immediately you'll see the keypad dropdown box in the middle of the screen.
For your feedback No 1, It should install and launch ok. Try it again and soft reset after the installation. Remember to install it on the device memory.
Hi Cyphol,
Up and running ver. GM360.02a with no problems. Very smooth and no hangs.
The file explorer that I mentioned from Jasjamming's ROM's is gsfinder+
(Thanks for finding it out MistaRip!)
Now I see you already have this in your ROM. Can you just make this the default file explorer and forget the standard WM6 version. gsfinder+ is a superb program.
The Asia version Network wizard is great expect I also miss the China Mobile settings. I have to manual import them when I go across the border.
Thanks for your great work!!

Thanks. Good to hear you like GSFinder+ but I cannot delete the MS Explorer since it's a base core applications for some of the programs in the phone itself such as Bluetooth ftp etc. So GSFinder+ is considered as a bonus application.

Questions?
1. Is sdkcerts.cab integrated into the ROM?.
2. phcanoverbmp.dll is installed in the Dialers directory. It should go to windows.
3. Cyphol, your phcanoverbmp.dll is too big of a size. 470KB versus mine of only 150KB. The bmp inside the dll is 32bit bmp images. You dont need 32bit images, because the actual Kaiser images only contain 8 bits(256 colors). Therefore you cannot distinguish the diff if you convert all the bmp to 8 bits.
4.The first 3 bmp are wrong. It should contain the Video In, VideoOut, and Video Miss bmp.
I am done with the dialers. Make sure you use the latest update. The latest update use Kaiser Smartdialer which not only looks nicer but also provide more functionality over the traditional.
May I know what else did you change from the original?
Here's the fixed GifPlayer app.

SDK Cert is cooked in.
I'm using the phcanbmp* from Bennec83 for multi colored batttery icon.
I've already packaged your latest creation in the add-ons. Since many want the original dialer so i cooked in the original interface but package the Kaiser style for others including me.
Thanks for your great creation, Sir. I have many of your modified apps.

Can someone tell me why whenever I use the USPL.bat and run all that crap on my phone, hit YES twice for haret.exe and all that, but the screen won't go black. It stays all white and I can't flash anything. Really getting on my nerves.
What I do for Flash this ROM:
run unlock.exe - for unlock the software
run the RUU exe
Everything else are "press any key", "Y/N", "Next" and that's all .
When the RUU exe works my screen is white.
EDIT: Haret is for official (no cooked) ROMS and maybe is not compatable with this rom

i've installed the eT9 text app, and rebooted, then installed the JogBar app and checked the Enable T9 already. But when i write a text file and i press alt+space, the setup for keytouch still appears. i still don't have the eT9 thingy. i can't get to this part: and you use the "alt" key to exit out from the Chinese writing.

Oldsap,
What are you trying to do exactly? Get the entry field/T9 in English? If that is your question, I didn't use the JogBar app was able to get mine in all English doing the following:
1) Hit alt-space when in some type of text-entry field.
2) Press up (Setup).
3) Select 2-EN (for English).
4) 'Display Candidates List' will pop up (Yes if you want them)
Then, when back in some type of text-entry field:
1) Hit alt-space, then
2) Press down on the pad (Lang), and
3) then Left (to select EN).
That worked for me. Make sure you have changed your regional settings in all areas as well and, as you mentioned, dropped the attached file into the windows folder.
Let me know if that works, if not, I'll rethink what steps I took.
The messaging shortcut (e.g. short_msg.lnk) is fixed to open up the text messaging. As I want the 'account picker' to be displayed, the link needed editing.
Here's the attachment. Just unzip and drop in your windows directory and replace the ROM's version. If you like it defaulting to the text messaging and don't care about the account picker, you don't need to do anything.

This is a great ROM, well built.
Given my device now thinks its a Dopod c720w, clearly that is the origin of the ROM. A question though - is this WM 6.1 build based on an official Dopod build? Or is it based on beta code?
I have also noticed that the Internet Explorer in this ROM does not have issues with php pages like the latest HTC official build.
Love it, and thanks

Base on Brightpoint 1.33
Cause I'm a chinese,in china Excalibur call DopodC720W,so i change the name to DopodC720W,you can OverWrite the ModelName.txt in Windows folder to change the Module Name.

ai nimerit-o!
it works! great! there are times when i really love the noobs!
congrats and kudos to all the ones that opened this road. another ****up of HTC cleared up!
Didn't work for me, but then I'm on Dutty 2.6 and I'm assuming the manila files are different.
I also had trouble getting the app to generate the manila files. I resized a pic, loaded it into the app and clicked create png. Then clicked compress. Although I had several CMD windows open/close and the app stated that it had created the manilas in the same directory as the source image, no manila files were actually created.
What I did to get output files was before clicking create png and compress, I changed the output directory from where the source file was located. Then, when I clicked compress, the CMD window froze open and I had to close it manually. Twice I did this, but the output files appeared in the directory I had specified. Odd, huh?
The file compression can take several minutes so please wait for the command windows to close. I have not done this asynchronously yet, so the main app freezes until the cfc app in the cmd window ends.
I'm having an odd issue with this app. When I click Compress, the CMD windows
comes up and disappears but the 2 manilla file's can't be seen.
Here's what it say's in the app:
Code:
Converting PNG -> QTC... Please wait...
Compressing QTC -> CFC... Please wait...
Padding file... Please wait...
Created C:\Documents and Settings\Dally\My Documents\HTC Touch HD Stuff\Wallpapers\70083a29_manila
Converting PNG -> QTC... Please wait...
Compressing QTC -> CFC... Please wait...
Padding file... Please wait...
Created C:\Documents and Settings\Dally\My Documents\HTC Touch HD Stuff\Wallpapers\77feee1d_manila
Weirdly enough, when I downloaded Rozenthal's example wallpapayer "BlackEarth" from the Tutorial thread, I could see the manilla file's in the .RAR archieve
but couldn't see them whe I extracted the files.
Hope someone can help
do not put yr original jpg file too deep into the directories tree (like hd\highres\test). the program can not handle it.
build a directory close to the root (like c:\test).
Sorry, I forgot to use " for files and folders with spaces... Try v0.2b
a picture worth....
here u have it, before (original jpg file) and after
after posting i realized that the differences are very hard to detect in the attached files. maybe if u'll download them...
anyway, the difference on the HD are striking!
I cant get it to work with the old manila(stock manila) when I copy manila files to windows dir - it doesnt overwrite anything.... -- disabled, reenabled manila- set to default =black screen for bckground..

I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm using the an Original ROM and when I
copy over the 2 Manilla file's into the Windows DIR, nothing get's overwritten.
Also v0.2b solved my earlier problem
Thank you
I guess the files in original ROMs have different names.
If you want to find them, you have to copy *_manila files from the windows folder on your device, then use CFC GUI to find the ones that look like the default wallpaper (512 x 512 for the top slice and the bottom slice 512 x 256 which is black)
I can do what your sayin Maranell0, but how do I access the windows folder
of my device using ActiveSync?
It doesn't seem to let me do this.
Edit:
I can see the folder now, had to set show all folders in XP to access it
Now for some odd reason I can't seem to copy the neccessary manila file's to the
windows directory of my device.
Gives me a permission error everytime
I've tried doing this with XP as well but still no luck.
Total Commander isn't helping either.
EDIT:
I managed to copy both manila file's over but the wallpaper is still the stock one.
Here are the manila file's I think I had to replace
1ae0036d_manila - The bottom bit
7def6761_manila - The top bit
Here are the 2 file's in CFG GUI. I may have got the wrong file's but just wanted a confirmation. I couldn't find any other file's that could've
been the stock wallpaper.
Did you disable / enable TouchFLO in Today Settings?
The manila files in your ROM are not CFC compressed, try decompressing the files after creating them, so that you will have "AP" instead of "APC" to the right of each file.

Yeh mate I did disable and then enable TouchFLO.
I tried decompressing but all I can still see is the Stock Wallpaper
0.2 corrected my problem, thanks man.
I assume from the additional buttons that have appeared that some additional features are forthcoming? I await with keen interest.
One thing I did note; the resulting image is much darker than the source... intentional?

The image is slightly darker, it's the way it's being displayed by Manila.
I'm working on additional features, but I'm still learning c#...
I've tried everything now but just can't get these wallpapers to work
I think I may have got the top part of the manila wallpaper file wrong
but just can't figure out which one it could be.
i cant copy that manila files to the windows directory. it gives me a permission errors... any ideas?

I've been playing around with my new HTC S620 for the past few days. Since I ordered it from Hong Kong I didn't have Hebrew on the device. Finally, after some work I managed to make the device read and write Hebrew correctly
The attached .cab file which I made works with the WM 6.5 * 3VOLUTION SERIES * ROM. The only thing you should be aware of is that in order to write in Hebrew you have to choose "Greek" from the language menu. It's not really Greek, it'll write in Hebrew. I made the keyboard layout file like a standard PC Hebrew keyboard with one difference: the letter "ף" is on the "W" key. You can change the layout by editing eT9.Excalibur.0408.kmap.txt in the Windows directory (notice! the 0408 file, not the 0409).
Please be aware! Anything that happens to your device is at your own risk. I take no responsibility!
Setup:
1 ) Install the attached .cab file.
2) Go to the device Settings and in Regional Settings change the Locale to Hebrew.
You're all set! Enjoy!
http://www.sendspace.com/file/p93d9s
Update:
This is an updated .CAB. Added support for the latest 3VO ROM, Version 3.
great . thx.
ive installed the cab. and now i can read heb text but at the time bar it shows the only 2 digits.
any suggestion?
thx
ok changed to 12h and works fine
thank you I've been searching for this!
Ummm, I can't find Hebrew in my regional settings & I my font's been enlarged after I've installed the cab, how do I sort this? I'm using Kavana's 6.1
so in which rom we can use it
Works with kavana's 6.1, made the font anoyyingly large & I still haven't managed to write in Hebrew
work great for read
it work for just fine for reading, but i was unable to write
what doyou mean by language menu ?
i have only english at the regional settings language menu menu...
Writing in Hebrew
Shalom y'all:
To open the keyboard language menu you have to pess Alt+Space (or FN+Space) in a writing space. There you go to Language and choose "Greek". You will be able to type in Hebrew.
As for the Kavana 6.1 ROM I don't know. I only tested this .cab on my WM 6.5 * 3VOLUTION SERIES * ROM. I edited the .cab file to work with that ROM with the way the ROM's registry is built.
As for the 24h clock not showing both numbers it's because of the font.
I have the same problem but it doesn't bother me at the moment. In order to fix it you have to play with the theme file's config file which is a .cpr type file in your windows directory. Mine is "Titanium_320x240.cpr" and there are some setting in the file for the clock that you can edit and maybe fix the problem. I will post a solution once I figure it out.
The reason the system's font looks big is because I had to change the font to Tahoma so you'll be able to read and write in Hebrew. In order to change the size of the font for the Start Menu, the pop-up Menus, the Programs window and so you have to change the following registry keys:
HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT (System Font)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt (Start Menu Bar Font)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt (Pop-Up Menus Font)
HKLM\System\GWE\OOMFnt (Out-Of-Memory Font)
For each of these you will find the same keys. The only two you have to change in order to change the font size are "Ht" and "Wt" keys. "Ht" will change the size of the font and "Wt" will change the boldness of it.
You will notice that in most of them the "Ht" will be 4294967280. What you have to change is only the last number of the value. 0 being the largest and 9 being the smallest in the range of these two numbers. So for the smallest font size for example you change the value to 4294967289.
As for the "Wt" value you will notice most of them are "400". 400 is the standard font weight. If you change it to 700 it'll be bold. With this one you'll just have to play to find the boldness that suits you. You can change it to 400, 500, 600, 700.
If anyone wants a different Hebrew font than Tahoma for the system, let me know!
Thanks for posting feedback! If you have further questions, feel free to ask!
24h Clock Fix
I managed to fix the clock problem. You have to edit the theme's .cpr file.
Open "Titanium_320x240.cpr" (Windows folder) in Notepad. Search for Layer ID="ClockExpanded". Look down a little and look for "<!-- Time -->". in the line below it you have to find where it says FontSize=xx (mine was set to 27).
I changed it to FontSize=24. The clock shows all numbers now!
Good work !

Thanks for letting me know, I actually still don't use the phone because I just got it so I didn't get the chance to try the contact list. Seems like there isn't an option to change the typing language when searching for contacts. I will look into it and see if it's possible to do it somehow. Maybe using an alternative software that supports that feature is a possible solution.

I don't have this problem. When you press the Alt+Space (Fn+Space) to open the language menu make sure you also click the XT9 button. That turns on the auto-complete words mode. It's off in the ABC mode.

hagay
How do I uninstall this (doesnt work from settings)?
I accidentally installed this onto my HTC Ozone, and now my keyboard doesnt work when I try to text!
Great News!
I updated the .CAB file to work with the latest 3VO ROM, Version 3! (Go back to the first post to download the updated file)
Better install the .CAB after a clean install of the new 3VO ROM. Backup the pim.vol file located in the root directory before flashing the new ROM to backup your contacts and schedule.
Don't forget to change the Locale to Hebrew after install.
For those of you interested in a way to search contacts in Hebrew I use an alternative contact list software that supports language switching:
iContact Burt Edition 6.4.5.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724
works great!
I'm using it on 6.5 3d, and it works great!
I also installed 96dpi, and together the "big font problem" is solved.
Till now, they seem to work well together!
I have one question: the mac has what is called a qwerty hebrew keyboard, where the keys correspond approximately to the sound or the shape of the letter.

Is it possible to change the keyboard to this layout? What file do I need to edit? It makes entering the letters much easier, since I don't remember the layout, and my phone has no hebrew letters on it...
Thanks!
Intro:
Basically, this mod puts 4 columns of icons in the Manila Start Menu and All Programs page. Check out the screenshots below.
Big thank you to 6Fg8, sztupy and Chainfire for their Manila editing tools.
Requirements:
This mod is made for Manila (TouchFlo 3D) versions 2.0 and 2.1 only.
To check the version go to the settings tab in TouchFlo, at the bottom there should be "About" and "TouchFLO 3D" followed by the version number.
If you have any problems with this mod please report your full Manila (e.g. 2.1.xxxxx or 2.0.xxxxx) version, the device and ROM you are using.
This is for WVGA devices only. For VGA devices there is a VGA version made by JVH3.
UPDATE 27/07/2009:
Added a troubleshooting section to the post. Made a fix for the StartMenu/PrograsTab crash bug (see troubleshooting below). Fixed bug with Spike's 4 Columns All Settings (new cab attached).
UPDATE 23/07/2009:
The Programs Tab is now supported. I've tweaked the layout specifically for the Tab view.
For those who want it, I've also included a way to activate the OldStartMenu+ProgramsTab by using files from the Addons.zip.
Addons also include cabs to extend the number of items. See below for more info.
New version also has a few bug fixes.
Screenshots(click on thumbnails to enlarge):
Start Menu:
All Programs:
Programs Tab:
6 columns in landscape: Start Menu, All Programs
Instructions:
Download the 4ColumnsStart&AllPrograms_v1.1.cab and run it on your device.
If you have a problem installing it, try turning off TF3d (Settings->Today), instaling the cab and then turning TF3D back on.
You can also get 4 columns in All Setting (WM6.1) by installing Spike's 4 Columns All Settings.cab - Screenshot.
Known issues for Manila 2.0:
The mod works well on Manila v2.0, but with two limitations: the item number extension add on cabs don't work (see Addon section below) and some item names are aligned to left instead of centered. Unfortunately this can't be resolved because its a limitation of Manila 2.0. Manila 2.1 doesn't have these issues.
Troubleshooting:
-Can't install the cab even after turning off TF3D.
-> You can try manually installing it. Download the files: Manual install files. Copy the manila files to \Windows (overwrite existing files). Import the .reg file to registry. Then soft reset or just restart Manila.
-Start Menu or Programs Tab crashes (TF3D restarts) after you install the mod.
-> Use this fix: CrashFix. Import the .reg file to registry. Then soft reset or just restart Manila.
-All Programs page gets messed up after soft reset
-> This can happen if Max TF3D Theme Maker is installed. To fix it go to \Windows\Startup and remove Shake.lnk and ThemeChanger.lnk (this will disable those functions of MaxTM). You should still be able to use MaxTTM but you will have to reinstall this mod every time after using MaxTTM.
-Manila 2.0 specific: Extra items you can't use
-> With Manila 2.0 you can only have up to 24 items. After installing this mod you'll have 26 but you can't use the last two. If you want to delete the unusable items go to reg key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\" and delete numbers 30 and 31 (or anything above 23 - key number 0 is the 1st item and 23 is the 24th item, number 24 is the 25th item etc.).
-Black text on black background in All Programs page
-> While the default Manila secondary screen is white with black text, some branded Manila variations (e.g. T-Mobile) have this reversed (white text on black background). To correct this download WhiteText_AllPrograms.zip and copy the manila file to \Windows. Then soft reset or restart Manila.
AddOns:
These are optional extras.
Make sure you install the main 4ColumnsStart&AllPrograms.cab before using any of the addons.
Note: The Extend_to_48_Items and Extend_to_64_Items cabs only work with Manila 2.1. Don't install them on Manila 2.0.
The addon.zip file contains the following:
OldStartMenu+ProgramsTab.reg - This will activate the old Start Menu and Programs Tab.
-> Import the reg file and soft reset. After that go to Manila Settings, Customize Tabs and check the Programs Tab.
ManilaStartMenu.reg - This undos the previous reg i.e. it will activate the Manila Start Menu and deactivate the Programs Tab.
-> Import the reg file and soft reset.
Extend_to_48_Items.cab
-> This will extend the StartMenu/Programs Tab to 48 items. Install only one of the Extend cabs at one time.
Extend_to_64_Items.cab
-> Same as above, just 64 items. Install only one of the Extend cabs at one time.

I've been putting off making this for the past month, always procrastinating Finally sat down to make it a few days ago, but I think it was worth the work.

Try turning off Manila and then uninstalling it. (Turn off TF3D from Settings->Today.)
The mod was made specifically for Manila Start Menu, not Programs Tab.

I honestly didn't expect it to work well on Manila 2.0 without any modifications (given all the start menu specific problems when mixing different manila file versions). I'm very glad that its working well

Seems the programs tab is causing some trouble. I'll look into that and try to fix it as soon as possible. For now uninstall the cab.
Can you tell me the full version number of your Manila? (For example mine is 2.1.38158.5)
And if anyone else has trouble, report the full Manila version and ROM that you are using it on.

hi my manila version is:2.1.38411.0.thank you
I've updated a few things now and I hope this will solve the problems on some Manila versions.
Anyone who couldn't get this mod to work please try the attached cabs.
First try just type1. If that doesn't work try type2. Please report if it worked and if it did, was it type1 or type2.
EDIT:
4ColumnsStart&AllPrograms_v1.1beta_type1.cab & 4ColumnsStart&AllPrograms_v1.1beta_type2.cab were attached here.
Thay're outdated now so I removed them. See first post for latest version.
i confirm that type1 works perfectly on dutty's 3.9 xt turbo rom (manila 2.1.38158.5)!!!
thanks for your hard work!!!
A little Aestetic detail
I think it would be more coherent to have the same size of icons in the Start Menu page and in the All Programs page.
Now the All Programs page's icons are a bit too small in my opinion, and I already played around with this "problem" before:
I think I'd rather see more of the icon graphics than of white background, if we have more space.
Nevertheless, this might just be my personal subjective viewpoint, are people happy enough with smaller icons?
confirmed that it works with L3.55. I installed Dharvey's cab to change from the new start menu to a program tab in manila, then applied type 1 cab... it works like a charm without the startmenu activated problem previously with spike's & cookie's version..
One thing tough, could you please incorporate spike's changes so that the setting menu is also 4 columns.. that will be perfectly thx, great job
Hi all! I am looking now since awhile now for a possibility to change the windows mobile start menu to manilas programs tab. Maybe I am thinking too complicated or I am searching for the wrong thing.
I would like touching the start button and the manila programs tab should popup or manila should be shown and change to the programs tab. There are a lot of cabs in this forum about the start menu but I could not figure out what I have to do in case of windows mobile 6.5.
I am using Miri’s WM 6.5 23009 V 24.0 rom. Can anyone direct me to the right threat or cab? It would be perfect if I could combine the 4 columns mod with it.

I made it this way because in my personal view:
-It looks cleaner and less cramped.
-Older icons are 64x64 pixels or less so making them any bigger just stretches them and they lose quality (e.g. on my screenshot in first post: Email Scheduler, AE Button Plus, Google Maps).
But that's my opinion, and if the majority feels this should be changed I'll change it.

You need to have support for it in the ROM, specifically the ROM should have the "Enlarge Start Menu" service cooked in. You should ask Miri about it.
It can be done on WM6.5 ROMs, for example I know that Dutty's WM6.5 R5 & R6 have it as well as the app "Tom Menu Extender" which can be used to easily switch between WM6.5 Start Menu and Manila Start Menu.

While I iron out the bugs in the beta version, here is a separate cab for Spike's changes for the All Settings menu. (It works perfectly regardless of any bugs in my StartMenu/ProgramTab/AllPrograms mod.)
