I am creating this thread, because it should be able to be used with any VGA Manila 2.1 device.
Originally I was posting this it 3 threads. But it belongs in it's own thread so the other threads don't get polluted.
Co0kieMonster monster has a thread that accomplishes this for Manila 2.1. Unfortunately that did not work for VGA Manila 2.1.
For WVGA Devices go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=539107
I took that work and used the tools by stzupy to decompile and make slight changes to allow it to work with VGA. Credit goes to both Co0kieMonster and stzupy.
I only claim credit for making the changes to let this be used with VGA.
But,
I did spend a reasonable amount of time on this, so if you appreciate what I've done and want to buy me a beer by donating, it is appreciated. If not, of course it's free to use. On a side note, I plan to donate to Co0kieMonster and sztupzy based on any donations I recieve for porting this to VGA, since their work made it possible for me to do this work.
To install.
Method 1, the cab.
Disable TFL3D
copy the cab to phone.
Launch the Cab
Install to device.
Enable TFL3D
Method 2, Manual
Disable TFL3D
use the reg file to make the needed registry entries ( either use a program or manually create all of them. The reg file can be opened with notepad.
Copy the 3 Manila files to your phone.
Use total commander on your phone to move these to the windows folder.
Enable TFL3D
Please post in this thread links to ROMs that appear to be using without mentioning that this came from JVH3.
I appreciate donations and being asked. And as I noted portions of donations recieved for this will go to Co0kieMonster and sztupzy. It was sztupzy's tools and Co0kieMonster's work on the WVGA device that I started with.
There is a decent amount of work in learning to decompile and compile manila lua scripts and learning what changes affect what, so it was not a trivial task, but nothing in comparison to the total port of Manila 2.1 to VGA that Yozgatg has done.
As of this edit (February 17th, 2010) I have revieved no donations for it. As donations are recieved, I will post the 5 highest donators in this post, along with the 5 most recent.

Nice app... thanks for the work.
Great work my friend. I was looking for this. The similar (partial) solutions were not so good...
Thanks a lot..
Good job. A bit laggy in landscape mode at least so it seems but really useful. Thanks for your hard work.
Thanks for this. I am not seeing any problems with all programs in landscape, so it must be something specific to the ROM your running or another mod.

I see you are using my Pimp Package Anyways...is it cool if I add this to my package? I will give credit and links of course

Absolutely.
NRG is planning to cook it into the next ROM though.
BTW, your pimp package rocks.
So I disabled TF3D, installed the cab to device, soft reset, re-enabled TF3D and... nothing. No programs tab. What am I doing wrong?

Well, I don't have enough info to know what is wrong, but I can ask these questions and give you a few things to check:
Do you have the VGA port of Manila 2.1 installed or included in your ROM?
What device?
What ROM and what date of the ROM?
This does not create the tab, it changes the existing program tab.
If you don't have a program tab, then it might just be disabled.
If you go to the Settings Tab, there is an option, Customize Tabs.
Make sure that Programs is checked.
Hope that helps

Sorry what a noob thing to do. I'm running the vga port of 2.1 on Juicy's 8 ROM, build 090830 (released 08/30/09), on a Sprint Touch Pro. There is no programs tab to check under the customize tabs settings. I misunderstood what the cab was, sorry. Any thoughts on where I could go to get info. on creating a programs tab?
I dared to install the cab on a Diamond with custom win6.5/Manila 2.0 ROM.
i got the fourth column......with the first and fourth colums halved by the screen side edges! (no icon resizing to get the 4 columns within screen real estate)
Yes, i know the program says Manila 2.1 not 2.0, but...
why it doesnt work in 2.0?
may we expect a Manila2.0 release soon?
Best regards

There is already a cab for 2.0. Do a search and you will find it.

Wow, no programs tab.
There is probably some manila file that just needs to be replaced, because the tab is a part of the Manila 2.1 port.
In Manila 2.0, I used to manually modify a file to control the order of my tabs. Might be the same one in 2.1
Found the thread for the ROM:
http://ppcgeeks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=58002
I couldn't see any screen shots. I'm not a member there and couldn't see a search this thread. I would search that thread to see where the programs tab is or how to get it back. The people in that thread would most likely know what to do to get it back, since it seems they removed it.
Still can't believe they didn't include it.
[EDIT]
Realized I am a member there. JohnVH3
Haven't posted ther though. Found this in that thread:

It looks lik your missing some language pack or something else.
It normally shows
ADD
I don't know which file needs to be edited.
I assume you did not have a programs tab before.
I have uploaded to this post, all the Manila files that are in the 8/6 Energy ROM that define these constants. Probably if you copy them to your windows folder, it will look normal for you.

Actually this is a modifying thread for TF2D (TouchFlo 2D)! So maybe some experts can help and make this into VGA compatible then all the Athena users can use this. BTW i have this installed on my device and it works like a charm! But the problem is that it takes only 1/4 of the screen cause its QVGA... I asked Herg (the one who released this as a beta) and he told me that we have to :
1.Dissassemble and reassemble the exe files
2.Making pictures 2 times bigger (actually we can use diamond so we can skip this step)
3.Changin some xml files.
Now I am asking all you guys that can do this to help us and let Athena users taste this thing...
All the credits go to yourselves and definitely Athena users and me appreciate what you'll do for us.

Hi, I am interested! i have been hunting around to find plug-in for my today screen, finally touchflo 2D has been hacked but it does not fit on my screen. I will look forward to your released!
i am interesting in it ,but i really don't know how to modify this software,i ever installed the touchflo3D in my Athena,but it worked so slowly that i couldn't accept.
so i will look forward to ur released either.
I myse;f really dont know how to mod the exe and dll files but I know what are the tools and (maybe) the steps... but I can really help with graphic files and other stuff but I dont know programming and other stuff.... Need some experts, who can play with exe files
Help
Hi Guys, as an x7510 owner I would like to see touchflo 2d ported to vga too and I may help with it too, right now I have some work to finish but hopefully in a few days I should be able to have a look on things till then could someone get me a "build" or "zip" that contains the original Diamond pictures (or point me to one) as those all already at vga mode so why redo something that already exists and then I could focus on the other changes.
If someone already picked up this work and got to somewhere please let me know so we combine our forces

It is very simple, go to the last thread linked, there is a post there that tells you what to do, you download the original m2d, whatever the lastest version is. then after installing you overwrite the files with the VGA ones to the windows folder..
I've just re-read the topic and it makes sense to me.
It's very easy to do.
0---------
Installations / Download
To install please follow the steps found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173 <--- basically get the last file listed and install it from here, otherwise the original poster will have to redo is post everytime the other thread is updated.
and after you have everything up and running (even in the little left corner of your screen but working) then go to "Start->Settings->Today->Items" and uncheck "TouchFlo" press OK then download this zip file and extract the content to \Windows\ directory on your device.
TouchFlo2D VGA - Ver. 0.1.3
http://rapidshare.com/files/15138227...0.1.3.zip.html
Then go back to "Start->Settings->Today->Items" and check "TouchFlo" again press ok and the full resolution TouchFlo should appear.
IMPORTANT: It seems with the latest Manila2d release (1.00...) the files are installed in read only state so you won't be able to overwrite the files unless you remove the Read only state from the files which are all files in \Windows directory starting with HH_..... and HTCHomeSettings.xml and then all files in \Windows\ManilaGFX
----
You need a proper file program, the one that's built into windows mobile is pants. It can't overwrite files in rom or read only.
I'm presuming since you have an athena you know something about windows mobile, these aren't novice devices, if you don't then I'd really really advise you to do some reading.
For the sake of ease, download total commander, it's free and very powerful, search the forum using the search at the top and you'll find millions of links to it.
In /windows folder after installing the original m2d (not the VGA version) using total commander, select SHOW>select/unselect files> type in hh* and everything beginning with those will appear selected, While they are selected (highlighted) press FILE>properties and untick the readonly box.
Do the same to all the files in /windows/manillagfx
Now open where ever you saved the vga files and copy the entire lot across to windows, and accept overwrite all
@fards thx a lot.. very detailed description so even I managed to install manila 2d
TF2D Feedback
Moderator - I am posting here as my comments are based on use on X7501 with factory ROM, if this is an incorrect place please mirror to appropriate section - there are too many to choose from!
First impression on update 20 - EXCELLENT WORK EVERYONE!
Overall device performce only slightly reduced, all programs work as before, touchflo finger slider on bottom works very smoothly.
The Home, People, Messages, Mail, Weather, Maps Search, Settings and Programs Tabs ALL work Perfectly!
Feedback for next update on Tabs.
Internet - Can a GUI selection of browser be incorporated so registry edit is not necessary to change default browser? So one can choose IE, factory Opera or other.
Photos and Videos - Pictures do not flip with finger swipe & picture takes up one quarter of frame
Audio Manager - Library and Player screen uses only top left quarter of screen, the rest is scrambled static in library and black in player. In Library, the text does not refresh in static area, and piles up into solid bar. Would it be easier (or possible) to simply link to media player 10 like HTC Home, get rid of audio manager, then redundant software is not needed?
With these updates it would work perfectly as if OEM.
Are you running successfully in Landscape?
Hi anx7501. I have a x7510 and have also loaded the Manila ver 20 and then pijulius TouchFlo for VGA devices over the top. However, I have had limited success in getting the screen to show as I would like in landscape.
Beacuse of the size of the clock and lack of space in landscape I've been trying to recode the HTCHomeSettings.xml so that Alarm, Call History and Calendar will all continue to show in Portrait, but only Calendar shows in Landscape leaving room for the Tabs along the bottom. I have atempted to do that by editing the lines for Alarm and Call History by inserting zeros thus: <Property name="IDHMWG_MISSEDCALLBTN_RECT" id="30" value="24,304,456,364, 0,0,0,0" /> but alas it is not working.
Have you managed to "crack the code" on this, or come up with an alternative solution - maybe a smaller clock?
Also have you found any alternative skins that will brighten up the device from the basic black?
Finally for some reason my Brightness slider is stuck in the left position. I don't remember this being the case when I had Manila ver 17 loaded. Does your slider work OK?
Hi robjhellis,
Regarding the landscape issue, because this was created for device like diamond with puny screen, it was intended for portrait so I haven't bothered to play with it, also landscape requires an extensive redraw in addition to resizing - I just don't have the time. Though someone in another thread has already resized M2D to work in landscape; however, I don't remember if it was for QVGA or VGA, when I find it again I will post the link here.
Try looking at this for landscape mode.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436753&highlight=m2d+landscape
I have a Mugen Power 2400 mha battery which lasts a full day, sometimes a little more, with factory ROM. With M2D installed, it chewed through the battery in half a day so for that reason I didn't adjust the brightness and left it alone. The programs I concentrated on were graphic intensive like Adobe reader and dwf viewer. After a few days of only half-day use between recharge, I hard reset and went back to HTC-Home VGA which provides similar tabs (weather, programs), dosen't chew through the battery and works in landscape. I think that because of the difference between devices with factory TF2D - ours has to max out CPU & GPU to operate smooth killing the battery. Short of creating new video driver specifically for our ATI chip, I don't think there's a workaround - btw how's your battery life?
There is a thread in Development and Hacking with M2D skins posted, try there and see if you find something you like.
I really like what I saw and admire the work evryone did, but I rely on my advantage heavily and didn't want to have to recharge or change battery at lunch - sadly I had to drop it. Hope you had/have better luck with yours.
Thanks for your follow-up. I discoverd that the Brightness slider issue was a known bug for vers. 20 & 21 of manila. A fix patch has been created and appended to post 2 (the fixes post) on the manila thread.
As for mbarvian's work on landscape, whilst its great work it does not appear to do anything for us on the VGA advantage/athena. With nthe keyboard attached I can use the left and right arrow keys to move between pages so that is a definate work around to not havig the tabs showing.

There are some issues with the new BuildOS. Let them sort that out first. You should be able to build it in. I am running NueROM3 Pre3 kitchen with M2D. Swapped it back to my normal NueROM3 Pre3 because quite frankly I think M2D blows. But thats my opinion.
EDIT: After using M2D I actually love it!
Also, what build of CE OS are you trying to use in the kitchen?
Also, if you absolutely cant get it I can whip something up for you. Tell me what else you may want in it?

Ok,
Let me make one thing clear: None of this is my work! This is compilation of great works from all over the internet. If you see a screnshot that is your product please let me know so I can give appropriate credit.
Shout Outs go to:
First and Foremost
DCD, GC, and No2Chem - I learned quite a bit just by reading there posts and disecting the DCD kitchen and of course SEARCHING ;c)
But no less important

Ok, I have posted ROM's for all. Please download and enjoy.
I also made these ROMS using the PPC Kitchen. Please visit there site and try there kitchen then donate if you got the spare cash. Its great! http://ppckitchen.org/
Thanks for taking the time to download my work and try it out. I value all feeback but would prefer not to get my ass handed to me. Please be thoughtful ;c) It takes guts to post this sort of file to the web. I understand how important these devices are to people so I want everyone to know that I have tested the core of this ROM for over a week with no major issues. I also reboot daily (by choice)! But as always;
*USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG!*
*You also need to be on Bootloader 2.40 or 2.47 with a GPS radio of 3.3x.x and higher*
If you dont have that then please read the stickes at the top of the forum main page and go tot he Titan Wiki page to learn how to get there. I cannot help you with that part, just my ROM and its functionality. Here is a great tutorial from GAMedic at PPC Geeks that will walk through the steps of setting your phone up for a custom ROM.

ROM Without M2D active has about 25.75 Megs of RAM. (everything disabled except active) It runs VERY nicely with out M2D.
Just remember M2D is a memory hog but looks sooooo good!
Thanks again! Enjoy!
Round 1 - OUTDATED but still a popular choice!
Links removed
Round 2 - TOO BUGGY I HAVE BEEN TOLD but runs fine on my phoen- NOT RECOMENDED for anything other than testing purposes- Apps shut down alot when not being used because of REg tweaks I got from No2Chem's OEMS. I like this feature, alot of people dont! This ROM has the typical issue of TouchFlow shutting down when the device is under high memory usage as reported by some users.
Links Removed
Different Skin this time (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2709784&postcount=1535), minor bug fixes. Camera version 5. Latest 20755 CE OS. Newer build of Opera 9.
Round 3 -First Round based off DCD 3.2.6
Links Removed
This ROM was rebuilt from the ground up and based off the DCD 3.2.6 Kitchen. Its missing Opera, Audio manager, the Diamond dialer and the Diamond comm manager (Most people are happy about this) and has no custom boot screens as I did not want to start tearing apart the kitchen. It seems to be the most stable so far! More free ram at boot as well. Download, enjoy and provide feedback!
It was found that YouTube is not working proper on this ROM. No other bug reports thus far.
Round 4 - Coming Soon! Alpha testing is underway. This will be a "barebones" M2D ROM that is ready to run on first boot. It will include the CAB files that are needed to custoimize it to the way you want. I have added extra themes for M2D, the latest customizer, and all the M2D apps that people have asked for.
And I was just asked to post this by a user. If you like the ROM you are using and have a some spare change then by all means..... Otherwise donations are not mandatory to download, use, and get support of my ROM!

Ok, I am having grimstar test it out now. He just installed about 1/2 hour ago. I did the Sprint version for him, I am on VZW.
Billy what carrier do you need?
let me test it too. i may use different aspects of the phone/programs that he doesn't and may discover some quirks that he won't.
Me too!
Sprint

what's up wit the rom man. it was me that specifically asked for the rom...not grimstar, not understanding why he's the one doing the testing and wasn't the one to 'specifically' ask.
Is there any way i can test this on telus as well?

I did a Telus Version. Will post that as well. I am just uploading them to my website now. I will post links when completed. Probably about an hour for all three ROMS to be done.
ROM's are up!
Ok, I have posted ROM's for all. Please download and enjoy.
Once again, this is not my work. I just assembled and tuned it all. If you feel the urge to dontate please donate to the people that I listed in the first page. They are the ones who made this ROM possible. I also made these ROMS using the PPC Kitchen. Please visit there site and try there kitchen. Its great! http://ppckitchen.org/
Thanks for taking the time to download my work and try it out. I value all feeback but would prefer not to get my ass handed to me. Please be thoughtful ;c) It takes guts to post this sort of file to the web. I understand how important these devices are too people so I want everyone to know that I have tested the core of this ROM for over a week with no major issues. I also reboot daily (by choice)! But as always;
*USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT GOES WRONG!*
*You also need to be on Bootloader 2.40 or 2.47 with a GPS radio of 3.3x.x and higher*
If you dont have that then please read the stickes at the top of the forum main page and go tot he Titan Wiki page to learn how to get there. I cannot help you with that part, just my ROM and its functionality. Here is a great tutorial from GAMedic at PPC Geeks that will walk through the steps of setting your phone up for a custom ROM.

I have to say, I am very impressed with this rom. It's much smoother on my titan than dcd 3.2.6. On my device, I have about 17 mb free, but I feel like it's twice as fast as before. Great job!

******NOTE: Round 4 Reloaded is out! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444342 Check there for the most current vesion!
Hello, I just finished working on my Round 4 ROM. Many people have looked at and downloaded some of my earlier rounds in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436997
This is a continuation of that project on a new thread.
Here is the ROM that I have been working on for the past week. Its a one size fits all ROM. I started doing this at the request of Grimstar8402. He asked if someone could create a ROM with M2D cooked in. I cooked him a ROM and it took off on that thread. I created a couple more rounds with user feed back incorporated and had mixed results for some users and while great results with other users. We soon realized a single ROM could not fit everyones needs because each user wanted different features or other features removed.
Obviously I couldn't accommodate all the request with just one ROM... Or Could I?
Introducing my Titan M2D Round 4 ROM. A ROM designed by many people and for many people!
Some of the highlights of the ROM....
+Based on DCD Kitchen 3.2.6 CE OS 5.2.20275 (Build 20275.1.3.3 dcd)
+Manila 2D - White Diamond Theme with 7 additional themes cooked in!
++Manila styled application CABs are INCLUDED but NOT INSTALLED. Apps include Opera 9.5.2392, HTC Album, HTC Audio Manager, You Tube with fix, Large Title Bar, X-Button (HTC Task Manager), and more (Opal title bar and Vista Hide Battery Gage) in the My Documents folder. All tested and working. You choose want you want to install or not install.
+Free RAM at Boot with stock configuration: 22.25 Megs. M2D enabled, nothing loaded, Oxious Hibernate ran before testing
+Free RAM at boot with minimal configuration: 25.6 Megs. M2D disabled, nothing loaded, Oxious Hibernate ran before testing
+Pre-loaded with all carrier cabs for DCD 3.2.6
+nueUSB,
+nuFonts
+nueLED Control
+Adobe Reader 2.5 (DCD)
+Camera 4.05.xx The older one with flash (DCD)
+HTC 10 Button Comm Manager (DCD)
+HTC Vouge Phone Canvas (DCD)
+HTC Start Animation(DCD)
+Psshut Modified Black theme by me
+Calibri System Font
+iContact 1.02
-Google Maps and Live Search not included. They change too often to cook into a ROM. Most users prefer to stay up to date with those two programs on there own.
*The carrier cabs were graciously provided by DCD as well as the kitchen. Many Thanks to DCD for the kitchen usage and the usage of the carrier cabs!
* On first boot open File Explorer and navigate to \My Documents\ROM Pack\Carriers\ and select your carrier CAB. YOU MUST DO THIS FOR YOUR PHONE TO HAVE A DATA CONNECTION! *
*Your phone is now up and ready to go as a bare bones M2D ROM with some special features in control panel such as nueLed and nueFonts and my custom Silver Windows theme and matching PsShutdown. From here you can install your choice of the pre-loaded apps.
** As with all custom ROM's I am not liable for anything you do or try to do or anything that happened because of your use or attempted used of my ROM** You agree to this when you download it! Sorry but a disclaimer is standard on most all custom ROMs.
Make sure you read the stickies at the top of the forum if its your first time flashing a custom ROM. Another good place to read is the GA Medic post over at PPCGeeks.com about flashing custom ROMS. Its a step by step walk through. If you have flashed a custom ROM before this one is no different ;c)
** Always remember this should be considered beta quality because a lot of these apps were simply not designed for our phones. The developers below did awesome jobs porting them over and tweaking them to work. Every once in a while something quirky could happen when running memory hungry apps like Opera and M2D at the same time. For example M2D may shutdown temporarily until you quit out of Opera. This is due to high memory requirements of M2D and the levels of low memory on our devices (64 Megs on our device vs 128 Megs and higher on the native devices). There is not a whole lot that can be done about these very minor issues and most users do not mind or even notice or have experienced them at all based on feed back that I received in the thread that started this series of the ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436997.
*With all things said this is a pretty stable ROM with or with out the add on pack I created. I think your going to like.
Please make sure you have your phone preloaded with the following before attempting to flash:
NueSPL2.47 or OliPro 2.40
GPS Radio 3.3x.xx or higher
I use nueSPL2.47 and Radio 3.42.50 on a Verizon XV6800
And finally thanks to all the following people who wrote the following great programs!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392&highlight=manilla
Notes
** Note: You must install the M2D Customizer from the Apps folder then add the themes using the Customizers "add" feature. The themes are located at \My Documents\ROM Pack\M2D Themes\. Some themes don't like to switch back and forth very well. Take it all in stride and for what it is.
** Note: All pre-loaded cabs can be deleted from the My Documents folder. Just delete the ROM Pack folder or anything inside you don't want. Its that simple. If you must know... A hard reset WILL bring the files and folders back that you be deleted from the ROM Pack folder (but of course you know all your other data is gone!)
Sorry this is such a long post. Wanted to make it as informative as possible and give the proper credit to the people who made all this possible.
Have fun and enjoy and of course if you read this far down and like this ROM and are in a position to donate then please feel free to do so ;c)

Tips, Tricks, and How To's
Tips, Tricks, and How To (Updated 7 Nov 2008 at 7:30 PM)
0. Pay attention to this from the first post!!!! It will answer alot of your questions --> +Manila styled application CABs are INCLUDED but NOT INSTALLED. Apps include Opera 9.5.2392, HTC Album, HTC Audio Manager, You Tube with fix, Large Title Bar, X-Button (HTC Task Manager), and more (Opal title bar and Vista Hide Battery Gage) in the My Documents folder. All tested and working. You choose want you want to install or not install.
1. Install the Manila 2D customizer before you try to customize M2D first! The files is in the Rom Pack folder.
2. Pictures Tab How To make it work properly: Install Album application from ROM pack. Use Customizer to turn on the Pictures Tab. Now open the pictures tab and press the ALBUM softkey. Now click the ALL menu button. Now go to the Menu soft key on the right. Select Set as Default Album. Now exit application and it works as it should.
3. Internet Tab - Install Opera from ROM Pack. Now use customizer to add the Internet Tab. Done! You will not have You Tube on the Internet Tab!
4. Music Tab - Install HTC Audio Manager from ROM Pack. Now use customizer to add the Music Tab. Done!
5. Scroll Bar Thickness - Posted a cab below to reset the scroll bar thickness back to the stock width of 12 pts. Just download and apply then SOFT REBOOT. This will also be in the next ROM / ROM Pack.
6. M2D Tip - Try disabling the extra tabs on newly selected themes as most themes leave all tabs enabled by default. This causes memory issues. Also try a soft reboot after changing a theme. A theme is composed of nearly 400 individual files. That bogs down the phone OS. I wish the author of M2D forced a reboot after a new theme was used but it doesn't.
7. You Tube - Install both files in the YouTube Folder. Soft reset and enjoy!
8. Kitchen files are posted. The files are a DCD 3.2.6 kitchen linked up above and the custom OEM's I used to build the ROM. I also included the latest OEMizer. Read my read me file for more info. Your own your own with the kitchen. Too big to support! Have fun and iuf you cook up something you want to share I will post it to my website. Just let me know!!!
9. Verizon Add On Pack Added - See this post for details and downloads - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2877143&postcount=204
Bug Reports and Fixes (if available)
Bug Reports and Fixes (if available)
1. M2D Maps doesnt link to Google Maps when searching....
Status: Seeking resolution
2. Camera not seeing storage card correctly in the Album application
Status: Confirmed NOT TRUE. Follow the directions above to make the Pictures Tab work properly!
3. At random the all programs button may not activate the all programs screen after exiting an application such as google maps. Rarely happens. Seems to be glitch in M2D. Oh well.
Status: Workaround: Slide the slider one to the left or right then back again. Its glitch I found on all builds of CE OS so all I know is that it is not windows or the ROM. Maybe the OEM
4. Gradient color bar across the top of screen.
**Not a bug or a glitch. You installed VistaHide Battery Gauge from the ROM Pack Apps folder. If you dont like it just delete the entry from start up or uninstall the app
Note: Considering a new OEM for Manila to make it more "Compatible" with the above apps "hopefully!" Will try creating one and see.
Thanks to all who pointed these out. I would consider these bugs. The intent was for them to work. I will look into a varios things to find a resolution. If you have one please feel free to post it tin the forum!
Upcoming features and current site stats
Upcoming features:
Im still alpha testing and doing daily rebuilds of "Round 4 - Media Edition" Its basically the same ROM, but with Album, Audio Manager, Google maps and You Tube all built-in and working 100%.
Full integration with M2D. Fixes all the bugs that have been reported about the integration failures.
+You Tube and Internet Tab Integration - YouTube link on the Internet tab and it works like it should.
+Google Maps and location Tab integration - Searching using the Location Tab now works. Had to build in Google Maps to make it work.
+Album and Audio Manager will be built in and integrated with the tabs
+Added device lock.
+Added a couple more themes and removed one or two.
+Added nueWiFiSwitch - Lets you reprogram the WiFi on/off switch for other functions like ringer.
+Reset the default tabs to add Location, Internet, Album, and Audio Manger.
+++Cleaned Up ROM Pack. Now just one CAB file with a shortcut in My Documents. Single CAB file will unzip all apps and themes to the My Documents folder. Very similar to original Round 4 but easier to manage and delete. Excluding carrier cabs. Frees up a lot of space that way!
Remember this is still in alpha testing. Need to work on the Album and Audio manager OEM's. Once that it done I am DONE!

A total of 8 Pay Pal donations! *Thank you much!!!
1 Pay pal donation per every 64 downloads average!!!
Two pay pal donations per day average!!
Almost 1000 page hits!!!
More than 50 percent of the people that go to the site download the ROM or the kitchen!!!
+ Dont deep link my ROM anywhere! I need the page counter to keep track of things. Deep linking will force me to post to RapidShare for accountability. No one wants that. My site is stupid fast and unlimited downloads to you. I do have to pay $15.00 a month but that is OK with me as long as I don't have to bump up my plan or pay any overage fees from Yahoo. You can how ever post links to www.scottcrosler.com (Just don't deep link please!).
And most importantly, Thank you for taking the time to download my work and more importantly trust my work! Thanks!
If you would like to donate to keep the site up please donate via paypal at www.scottcrosler.com. If you are not in a position to donate then please leave some positive feedback in the thread. Either would make me happy and motivate me to continue this project! I am also donating part of the proceeds to DCD and the M2D teams that made this possible!

flashed to new rom #4
installed all included programs except youtube.. no problem.. runs sweet.
touchflo picture tab says "cant find album searcher" .. no biggie ill look into later
had a go at installing all the included themes, all good, especially liked manila 2d white v2.. nice clock in that one. the blue theme came up with an error during the apply but didnt seem to be any probs after? also added my fav themes.. all installed fine.
installed all of my usual fav applications eg sms chat, tcpmp, skyfire and others.. no problem at all
speed is good everywhere.
rom 3 was good, but rom 4 is definitely a step up unquestionably.. have given the phone a good thrashing tonight with things open etc.. no auto shutdown of programs.. nice
opera doesnt shutdown touchflo.. might be just my good luck but nice surprise!
i cannot really fault this build. bloody awesome scott..
cheers and thanks!.. now i can go to bed
Nice work!

Confirmed, it works fine with Olipro 2.4.
Flash in progress, will give you some feedback shortly.
Flashing now.
flashing now round 4, i had round 3 ,btw 3 issues i found on round 3:
1.this rom is too fast!!!
2. everytime my finger slides to the right and left i get exited.!!!
3. your effort and hard work has paid off!
not to bad for round 3 issues uh?
lets see how round 4 makes me feel
Edit: why does this rom feel faster than DCD 3.2.6? any changes in registry?
Edit 2: i did find a problem "minor problem" with the text messaging, everytime you go to a text it defaults to the top text before responding to a text, then you must type 1 letter to activate the text input in the SMS window, then you can send a message.
Sorry i thats the only issue i found.
Looks good Scott, my only request is that you release the kitchen files. I have several OEM only games and apps I install that I can't find in CAB format and lack the ability to convert to CAB myself.
Any chance you can RAR up your kitchen folder and post it as well?
Thanks,
BTC

You need TouchFloSL.
Make sure you set manilla exe in the exclusion list tho.
can we get a release for the dcd kitchen files?
Scott, I would also like to see a release for the dcd kitchen files? I have some personal files and have grown to like and use "UC Autorun" to do an automatic install of all my cab files and personal settings. Love you M2d Roms.
I just noticed that DCD 3.2.6 has an additional 30-something MB free total. I assume that all the extra's that you cook into the rom bring that total down?
i installed it it runs great..however is there anyway to make a button...such as center middle button on the device go back to the home screen on touchflow?

Hello guys...
as some of you were asking me, how to permanently put QuickMenu in the place of honeycomb, with a RAM return, I'm putting for you a ready to use package for that.
So - first, we're just installing QuickMenu. Easy, normal process, I'm using the same package for two years already Be warned though it requires DelayedExec app, as QM was sometimes causing some problems during a cold boot. If you don't have it, or don't want it, just re-edit LNK file to remove its usage.
Then - it seems QM can't capture "start" word under wm6.5, so we're using a great app named "StartButton" and set it to capture this word and call QM.
Then - hey! Where're some of the icons from the settings menu?... Well - remember some of them were out of their folders? We need to get them back...
In the end... we want to get rid of the honeycomb itself, as it's still sitting in our RAM - almost 2MB of RAM on QVGA! It's a nightmare... how to do that? Easy... just edit proper CPR files and set them to... null text this way system won't be able to prepare a whole scene and won't load those files - returning you all this RAM. Be careful - it's prepared for QVGA, so for other resolutions, you have to re-edit this file and change the filenames in it!
The package contains all those things - preconfigured QuickMenu, fixed settings items in their proper folders (done with a provXML file), preconfigured StartButton and special initflashfiles.txt file, changing the CPR files to the empty ones.
Enjoy your brand new, fast and full of RAM WM6.5!
DOWNLOADS:
1. For the kitchen:
The package in the EXT format for ervius' kitchen can be downloaded from here.
2. For normal users:
2a. twopumpchump compiled a CAB installation, it's here. It fits all the resolutions!
2b. jfrm reedited this CAB, so it doesn't remove the honeycomb. So, if you want, just quit QM and there's your honeycomb back! It's here.
2c. Another version from jfrm - tapping on logo will pop QM, while tapping on the "Start" word will pop honeycomb. It's here.
Man!
last night i was trying to make this works over the START word in task bar... this is great...!!!
BTW do you know how to remove the titanium?
I dont want the whole files, but if i disable chome in sys or bronze or bronzeEA the start wont works and the devices freeze by itself... maybe we couldnt and just need to disable it in today settings and thats all! but it seems that the semitransparent bars gets lost... in that way we can have a full vanilla lots of storage and great RAM with the speed of WM6.5 and its awsome scrolling.
Nice work dude! will try it on my next release as a ultra vanilla!

hi friend, ltns just tried the new "old style" start menu and seems to be working great. i did get the popup for DelayedExec since i dont have it in my rom, but i can fix that np. im partial to 6.5 start menu myself, but do you mind if i make a cab, or you can if you want, so some of my users can have this on my 6.5 roms? alot of people still want the old 6.1 menus and this would be great for them

go for it Just post it here.
Just remember to change those cpr files to empty ones, so it can free up ram.
why?
This is to have more RAM but...
The quick menu works fine,
that popup error that twopumpchump say stops to show on in second softreset
but can you see the bronzeres error? both plugins... weather and some other in blank and i have only 12mb of ram... could it be due to lzx compression ?
What else to delete?

Install this one as normal and then manually edit StartMenu_Global_*.cpr and StartMenu_GridScene_*.cpr files
Maybe someone will reedit this cab and include a full set of cpr files. Or maybe TPC has already done this.. just check it

Is it possible to keep both menus working?
I have been thinking to much before going to 6.5 due the lost of QMenu and WkTask. So for me your trick is a very, very good news. Thank you very much.
Anyway, Is it possible to keep both menus working?
In my old Hermes 6.1 I have Original Star Menu set to Ms logo Long Press and QMenu to normal press, and now with the huge memory of my new Touch Pro, will be nice to keep both. One for finger use and the other one for stylus time.
Thanks for the effort.

Yes - just don't overwrite those cpr files...
Wonderfull,
I have downloaded your file, but this look like a cocking packet...
How should I install it in a working rom?
Now it works perfect, only thing is I dont see the time and clock in settings anywhere.

In 7th post twopumpchump posted a CAB file, get it and install it.

It's because I put it into personal section, and not to system, as it was originally I prefer it that way.
Sorry to bother you again, but I'm afraid that the cab is going to overwrite the cpr files and make me loose the HoneyComb.
It that right?
Remember my fist question here, I want to keep both menus working.
remember to search
Think about this
the cab file can be open with winrar or cabmanager or some more apps so... open the cab file and delete the cpr files... save it and you are good to go...
Be cool man our developers woks hard to get more power here.
Sorry, I don't want to disturb.
My english is far from good and maybe there is some missunderstood.
Will try this way. Thanks.
Sure, when Microsoft added the ability to rearrange the order of items in your start menu, I was happy. I use a vertical list and I like it sorted. But I have a lot of installed apps so doing it by hand is a pain at best.
So I spent a day and wrote the WM 6.5.1 Start Menu Sorter. It does just what it says, sorts your start menu. Just install the CAB and run the program.
[UPDATE]
I've release a new version of the sorter. I've really only changed 2 things.
You can now choose to sort Directories first

Thanks Joe, this will be very useful.
thanks JoeWilcox!
is it possible to have all the folder shortcuts on top instead of being at the bottom?
Thx, any experiences on HTC stock ROM WM 6.5 21869 (Topaz)?
Thank u JoeWilcox, this looks mighty handy !
I tried this on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 with Energy ROM 6.5 Leo and didn't do much. It definitely changed the order of icons in my Start Menu but they're not in alphabetical order. I ran it a couple times but it didn't change after the first time.
Working good for me, sorts in alphabetical order.
+ 1 for folders on top as i have to move them manually after sorting.
normal 6.5 might not be supported. I don't think they added reordering until 6.5.1.
Re-ordering works for 6.5 in that I can select an icon and move it up to the top, but that's it.

That's the way you do with shipped WM 6.5 without any tools.
May it sort by type first then by name? In result we will get all folders on the top, then files. folders and files will be still sorted by name but separately.
best regards
is there any update? it seems to only sort some of it or part of my start menu on build 21877

+ 1 .... that would make it perfect
Files and folders are already sorted seperately, I just weight files first.

Isn't that a build without the improved start menu. It might not work there, it might. I've never installed a build from that branch so I don't know. What sorted and what didnt?
It would be great to get the folders listed first, like on the PC.
Since your 'AwesomeStart.cab' also changes the look of the Settings location, do you think you could provide another cab that orgainizes it like this one does? TIA
How does it change the look of the settings tab. It shouldn't be affecting the icons at all.
When I choose settings within sense 2.5, it looks like normal (prior to when I ran your awesome cab). However, when I click the soft menu for all settings, it goes to a list view of the settings like it does for the start menu, except they aren't in aphabetical order.
Crash on my TD2.... IO exception...
Ok, looks like 'Start menu' is hard coded.... I have 'Menu Démarrer' on my French ROM
