Hey folks,

With Phon Ex (which is only available for 15 days in the trial version!), you can open the phonebook and the call-protocol within a second. Due to the manila-people-tab it's unnecessary, but the application itself is very useful. I recommend installing the trial version anyway. Instead of using the plugin of Phon Ex, you can use the Today Launcher, there you can add 6 programs to the Manila-Hometab. This is pretty useful for me.



You must install Phon Ex and the M2D_TodayPage_0.2.1d.cab. With a registry editor the following entries must be set:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Iconsofd*\Phon Ex\Options\Today] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Phon Ex \ Phon Ex \ Options \ Today]
"CountElements"=hex:08,00,00,00 "Element Count" = hex: 08,00,00,00
"CallsLines"=dword:00000004 "Call lines" = dword: 00000004
"FavoritesLines"=dword:00000004 "Favorite Lines" = dword: 00000004

*It is Iconsofd with a "t", but I can't write the t due to the spamfilter.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Manila2D_TodayPage\Tab_01] [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Manila2D_TodayPage \ Tab_01]
Rename Tab_01 to Tab_00, that's all.

Now turn off Manila (Settings> Home> instead of TouchFlo tick something else). Make sure that Manila is disabled.

Then you start the installed program in the Start menu (M2Dtp). On the top it shows "Tab_00". At "Ta6" we type "1". At X, we write 20, at Y 244, at W 199 and at B 39. In the box which displays a few plugins, we tab and hold in the white area. Now we add the Phon Ex plugin and confirm. Everything else has to be deleted from the list (highlight the unnecessary plugins and hold, then select the second option & confirm).

We save the actions with the left softbutton, then we press the right one, it's labeled with MEHO. Then select the last option, confirm with Yes. Reset the phone & done it should be.

If you want the today-launcher (attached), just select the launcher instead of the Phon Ex plugin. Important: you need to set the 6 items after installing: you will find the settings at Settings > Home > select the plugin and use the option-button.

I'm experiencing a problem while using the program M2Dtp
while i try to save all the settings, the program crashes and "An unxpected error in M2DCfg.exe select quit and restart this program"

In the details i can see thats its a win32 exception.

Plus..
Dont understand why but i dont have [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Phon Ex entry in my registry!

Is there anything that i can do ?

Thanks Xphx & danilla (Ru)(M2D-TodayPage owner);
I have successful configure it.

Attached File  M2Dtp3.Png (66.1K)
Number of downloads: 135

For those who still dun quite understand about this tools. I try to explain here.

-What M2D_TP does?
It will bring the Items in your Home Screen into M2D Manilla.

-How to configure it?
You need to run M2D_tpConfig.exe (or .ink) to configure it. Make sure you close M2D Manilla (TouchFlo) before you configure, else u get error.
I'll disable Touchflo from home screen (Start->Settings->Home->Items->untick Touchflo) and soft reset. Then only run M2D_tpconfig.


-The menu is in Russian?
I didnt make the software. Our Russian friend Danilla did it.

Attached File  M2Dtp1.Png (11.84K)
Number of downloads: 106Attached File  M2Dtp2.Png (17.44K)
Number of downloads: 89
Here is what i guess about the menu (referring to attached pic above)
1st row -> Tab setting configuration set no.--> started with Tab_00 .....Tab_XX (Default is Tab_01 from Xphx)
2nd row -> Put the Items in which tab no of Touchflo --> 1 - means in Manilla home tab...and 2 mean in Manilla People Tab.
3rd row, X and Y -> This is the coordinate on where you want to put ur item within the tab screen.
4th row, W and B -> This is Width and Height of the items box will display on ur tab screen.

5th row, The items box -> at this moment I know how to add the item via registry edit.
You need to add new key in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Manila2D_TodayPage \ Tab_00]
The key name is string value-> Name 0X-Item Value: XXXX
0X is the sequent number. XXXX is the name from (Start->Settings->Home->Items->) example: Date or Messaging or Skype or Tasks

6th row -> is the UP --> to move item up
7th row -> is the down -> to move item down

Left Soft Key -> I think it is apply or save. If you already have touchflo with M2D_Tp running, you likely to get error when you press this. Therefore make sure you disable touchflo and softrest. Then rerun M2D_tpconfig again.

Right soft key,MEHO -> is the MENU

In the menu,
1st row -> New tab set no.
2nd row -> Delete set no.
3rd row -> Not sure...it is to disable or enable M2D_tp ???
4th row -> Save and exit? or just Exit....


Alright, here is the bonus after my long list. I have make a package with M2D-TodayPage plus Easy Today Launcher. You make download it at link below. Install it and soft reset. :D

http://www.mediafire.com/?ejnno0kjt2f

This is should get you the same launcher and messaging bar as shown in picture above.

Because my launcher items is likely to different from yours. You need to set it urself.
To set your own items in the launcher, goto (Start->Settings->Home->Items->(tick) Easy Today Launcher -> Options)

Cheers,
Muncheno

If the program crashes... the settings should be saved anyway. This happens if Manila is still running (try resetting the device after disabling manila). Thanks for the information, there is no entry because i forgot something due to the frustrating spamfilter (it deletes the word "iconsofd", now i write it with a "d" instead of the "t" ;D)... Look for HKCU\Software\Iconsofd\Phon Ex.

Woot!  I was able to get this to work on my i910 running Airreaks Carbon Omega M2D2 v005 ROM and PhoneEx (can't stand the Winmo dialer).  This gives me the missed call notification that has been missing in the M2D2 builds.

Those not using PhoneEx, try adding the Messaging item and see if that will also give you the missed call notifications...  be interesting to see if it does.

No wonder you cant, ur screen is qvga if I not mistaken. The setting is for WQVGA, therefore you need to play with X and Y coordinate. However looking at ur snapshot, you wont have space for the plugin.

Contacts definite no..coz it will stay at the X, Y coordinate that u set and operator, I not too sure i never use it b4.

The plugin will stay at the coordinate u set and will on top of touchflo.



Edit:
You also need to edit the tab no. TA6., current setting is 1 therefore shown in tab no.1
