Brief How To: Modifying Manila Images

First, SEARCH for 'Manila Editor'. You will find it in XDA-Developers. I opted to NOT provide the download of this program for the simple fact that if you search for it you can also 'READ' how to use it. This will minimize the already answered questions.

Second, you will need a good photo editor ie., Photoshop, Gimp etc.

Third, Any file explorer other than the default on the phone. I use Total Commander but there are also others.

Once you have gotten the hang of Manila Editor, you will see every image file that is in Manila. Extract either all of them or just the one you want to modify. Using a photo editor, you can either modify the existing or use your own. If you opt to use your own, PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE ATTRIBUTES (SIZE) OF THE ORIGINAL IMAGE FILE IN MANILA. Ensure you save any image you modify or create as PNG. Now go back back to Manila Editor and update existing image with new image, finalize, and you are set. Now either cab the new file(s) up or using Total Commander (or whichever file explore you chose) copy and paste manila files from SDCard to Windows directory. Soft reset or Stop/Start TF3D and enjoy the simple yet effective modification you have done. Hope this helps some, I am sure there are more elaborate step-by-steps and how-to's out there so feel free to boost your knowledge.

Great addition to any ROM but I have a question.

What's the difference or advantage to a compressed file vs uncompressed? I assume compressed is less space but what about speed?

After playing around with several ROMs and themes I found that I could not find a combination of colors that I liked. So I focused on the ROM that I liked and then started to modify it from there. I am a fan of the Blacked Out Might Rom but did not like the Notification Bubble colors. I started to play around with Manila and testing different colors in photoshop and editing others from posted themes. Below is collection of bubbles that I have run or tested with on my Touch Pro. I have cab'd these files up for easy install and removal.

Step 1: Download zip file from RapidShare Link below
Step 2: Unzip
Step 3: Copy desired .cab file to phone
Step 4: Tap on .cab file to install
Step 5: Soft Reset Phone or Stop/Start TouchFlo3D

Edit: These Manila files are uncompressed and should work on any stock or custom Rom.
