{CAB & HOW TO} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network Text By Editing Mode9
 

I originally posted a cab here to do this, but the file that i am replacing has SO many things tied to it. its called the Home.mode9

So i am leaving the cab up, but should only be installed if you have Juicy R2 ROM and Max Manila. Nothing More or Less, or you might get an error.

GO TO 2ND POST FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON EDITING THE MODE 9 FILE YOURSELF TO MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO ERRORS.
Keep in Mind: by learning the How To in Post 2 you will be able to change ANYTHING in the manila. its very simple to chage and edit images. mode9 and lua are 2 other types of manila and they can be a little tricky BUY powerful

Get Manila Files off Your Phone
a. connect your tp2 via activesync, browse contents of device and navigate to the root folder then to windows folder. BE PATIENT it will take a minute or two because of all the system files. once it opens, set your view to details, and sort by "Type". scroll down until you see the type "File". you will then see the file names that look like this *******_manila (pictured below)

b. click the first manila file you see. use your scroll to scroll down to the last manila file you see. press and hold the shift key and click that last file with you mouse. this should select all manila files on your device. should be around 1200.

c. now copy those selected files (DO NOT CUT) and place them in the folder on the desktop. in the tp2 files folder.

Thanks again, but how can I remove the botton curtain editing ****.manila with m9editor?

I want to learn


Sorry for my english.

Re: {CAB & HOW TO} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network Text By Editing Mode9
 

Not sure exactly.....is not on the home screen mode9 file
its somewhere else...

BUT on a manila edit for an Image, like bottom curtain, its usually easier to RIP the PNG with CFC GUI editor, and just change the picture file yourself. its easier to do that than editing mode9

here is my How To for Manila Image Editing. i made this with the stock manila 2.1, so some references might be different
Edit your TF3D Manila Images to Have Exactly the Design You Want


there is a manila editor update you can get here and use the same How TO

do you know how can i edit the programs tab ? i wanna get rid of app names under icons .

Re: {CAB & HOW TO} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network Text By Editing Mode9
 

Edit the Programs Tab? are you using Manila 2.5?

Re: {CAB & HOW TO} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network Text By Editing Mode9
 

no. not 2.5

Re: {Sense/Manila 2.5 Edit} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network
 

My Windows folder does not have 7c60907d_manila.
My carrier is verizon and I use Manila 2.1 with multi language pack. (I doubt the multi language pack removed any particular manila files, although it added a few.)
See below the screenshot of a search that I did to find all files that start with "7c".

What do I do?

is there a cab for this available that will work with Mightymike's WAR roms??? (and if so, would it matter if i had maxmanila or not)

Re: {CAB & HOW TO} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network Text By Editing Mode9
 

no the cab really does not work because it edits a mode9 file that should not be edited entirely. try the how to

Re: {CAB & HOW TO} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network Text By Editing Mode9
 

IS there an update with the last manila 2.5?

edit ok with the find i edited and replace and it works fine :)

Re: {Sense/Manila 2.5 Edit} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network
 

You can also just add a property value named visible to the group found in step a., leaving the value unchecked after adding the line hides the whole title bar in one swoop.

Quick question though, have you been able to move the whole clock widget? I have attempted myself in moving it up the screen the 50 pixels the title bar was taken up after hiding it, and I get the attached. Is it possible that some of this is positioned with the lua files, and not just the mode9? I have edited the groups clock_tabs, tabsleft, and tabsright adding the 50 pixels to the Y value of the position property. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My end goal is to integrate netDRG's call history mod (WVGA) into a better VGA positioned version by removing the top curtain and moving the rest of the objects up.

Re: {Sense/Manila 2.5 Edit} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network
 

there is one more group that contains the backing of the clock... not sure where, but i know there was one or 2 more.....

Re: {Sense/Manila 2.5 Edit} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network
 

Thanks for the post, Big.

One question though - when I browse my device's contents in active sync, I don't see a "windows" folder. I can view this on my TP2's file explorer, but not on my PC via active sync. any suggestions?

Re: {Sense/Manila 2.5 Edit} Remove Top Curtain & Carrier Network
 

you need to goto windows explorer...folder and search options.....UNCHECK "hide protected operating system files"

I managed to remove top bar
 

That top bar that appears in all tabs under the page headings, text-calender-camera etc. The top bar is now transparent showing more of the background. I have attached the zip
