Message tab "Menu" non-functional

@freeza - I tried those before and had noticed the same issue, but then i found a cab that worked. 15 tabs, and the menu item worked. When I tried to use that package's 26948339_manila file, it sent tf3d into a startup loop.

I had this same issue when dropping in someone else's edited manilla file... it is indeed the 26948339_manila file that causes this.

Oddly enough, when I made the change on my own via Total Commander (select the manilla file and File -> Edit), the menu on the Message tab works just fine.

Something must have went awry when you changed the 26948339_manila file.

If you look in there, about halfway down in landscape mode you should see this:

<DialogItem Name="Menu">
<DialogItem Name="New" Title'"[[IDS_MESSAGING_NEW]]"/>
<DialogItem Name="Reply" Title'"[[IDS_MESSAGING_REPLY]]"/>
<DialogItem Name="Forward" Title'"[[IDS_MESSAGING_FORWARD]]"/>
<DialogItem Name="Delete" Title'"[[IDS_MESSAGING_DELETE]]"/>

Check out the syntax in your manila and see if it's the same.

I got my files from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452958

and here

you can see in the second link I posted there, someone has the same exact issue as I do, and the op tell them to find the solution in another thread.

this is probably what I'll have to do. I just need to find the instructions on what to delete or add to get rid of that banner.

Should I open it in notepad, replace it with that text, then replace it on my phone? Thanks

I guess you could do that. You could always edit it with Total Commander on your phone to see if there are any discrepancies.

My guess is something got messed up and its showing the syntax instead of the proper name for the button.

EDIT: I've attached a copy of my _manila file. You can use it to compare and contrast with yours.

You need to open the file with Total Commander and find this section:

      <Page Order="5" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_MUSICTITLE]]" ExternalScriptPath="HTC\Scripts\sprintmusic.luac">
        <ComponentReference Name="page" 			   Mode9Path="HTC\music.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
        <ComponentReference Name="icon_normal"   Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_Off" />
        <ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_On" />
        <ComponentReference Name="icon_preview"  Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_Preview" />
      </Page>

You'll want to delete the part from the first line that says:

ExternalScriptPath="HTC\Scripts\sprintmusic.luac"

So you should wind up with:

      <Page Order="5" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_MUSICTITLE]]" >
        <ComponentReference Name="page" 			   Mode9Path="HTC\music.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
        <ComponentReference Name="icon_normal"   Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_Off" />
        <ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_On" />
        <ComponentReference Name="icon_preview"  Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_Preview" />
      </Page>

That's the only change I made to this file, and it worked. Hope that helps.

Found it. It seems that the syntax didn't separate between the display name and the code.

thank you auto exec. Works great now. My touchflo3d is exactly the way I want it now!
