Fixed an error with Gen.Y Panorama v2b.cab. The black curtain for secondary menus will now work (problem was with 'Gen.Y Panorama v2b.cab' only).

I dont know what im doing wrong, but i had this working on my prevoius rom that had tf3d2 on it already. Now im on mightys 6 final which does not, and I cant get it working smoothly. it works just not smooth like it was. So according to the gen Y manilla instructions over at xda, I am to install the r1 install with no message enhancement because the rom has tf on it previously. (somebody please correct me if I got that wrong.) after the manilla 2 install, I install this theme with mods, and the icons become somewhat distorted and it lags VERY bad when scrolling. Siince they came from the same author, I figure there has to be a combination that Im using wrong. Can someone confirm the right combination of installs I need. The r1 right? And the 2b with mods? Right? WHy is it lagging so much on me? It was working perfect for me on my previous merdhins.

Did it run smooth before installing the panoramic mod? The mod only adds a small .luac script for the background scrolling, the 6 manila files for the backgrounds, and modifies several manila2.1 files.

It's probably laggy because of installing manila2.1 over the old manila mightymike used. There's over 1,000 manila files alone in manila2.1 (not counting the other packages that are included in the cabs), and it may be not every single old file gets overwritten with a new one. IMO, you'd probably be better finding an updated rom with no manila or manila 2.1 already cooked in.

If you only want this mod for old manila (and none of the other manila2.1 features), I can try to change the old manila files to give the same panoramic effect. You'd probably have to be a guinea pig and test it for me since I don't have any old manila packages in my kitchen to cook in. Just let me know if you would like it and also post your 5c9aa261_manila file so I can use the one compatible with the manila mightymike used.

Thanks bro, but honestly i want the manilla 2. I dont care if its 2.0 .1 or .5. But i would like to stay on mightys. I just want it all to work. I tried just doing a standard tf3d2 theme, and it killed it like i had the touchflo on during the installation(which i didnt). It runs very smooth until i theme it. The panoramic works but its just laggy. I was going for custom icons with the panoramic clock and mods, on top of the manilla 2.1 install. I guess my question is why are the touchflo2 themes Ive been using for months, not working on the manual install of the gen Y manilla tf3d2? I thought it was this panoramic killing it. Doesnt look like it now. I just dont want a stock look. Im just wondering if theres a combination of with mods or without mods, or the version of the manilla install for that matter, that would all coincide.

EDIT** I dont know how i got it to work the first time, but now it wont even work. Im gettin the landscape and portrait background blurred together and no clock. I used the 2a version yesterday, and im using the 2b file today. Figured it didnt matter. I dont know if its the version thats killing it or what. Unfortunately , I already deleted the 2a file. Ive tried all three. with mods, no compact home, nothing is working.

Well I dont know what i did or didnt do. But its workin now. 100%. Did a hard reset to try one more time. I didnt theme it other than the panoramic theme. Probably just to many themes. But its workin.

Thanks for the .cab

One thing; when sliding through tabs the background doesn't fade/blur and it conflicts with the icons. I hope the picture helps to explain this. I'm guessing it would be nearly impossible to remedy this, but if you could it would make my week.

Try the attached cab and let me know if it works. It looks like maybe you're using an older version of the panoramic mod that contained a transparent file for the black curtain when sliding tabs. I'm sure it can be made to work like stock. We just need to restore the proper manila files. If this cab does not work or there is another error, let me know if you installed a cab from post 1 of this thread or what ROM you're running.

That .cab worked perfectly. I'm using calkulins ROM. You are a pro.
