Hi everyone.. I'm going really mad!
I can't find cabs!!!
For days and days I was browsing theese forums and I've read a LOT of useful posts (along with useful cabs to change/add/fix something)
IE.. one for that damn 3g ico, one for wpa2, one for keyboard fix, the smsbackup, the dialer, the voice command and so on..
NOW I've flashed (again) a new os and I need all those fxxxxd cabs.. I can't find them (well..someone of them) with the "search" function!!!!
To MODS: Why don't we create a wiki page with the direct links to every useful cabs?? Or a sticky thread here with a list for every cab?

Why didn't you save the first time you banana head. Also you can create a wiki page too, don't need any moderators assistance.
Why don't you bookmark the threads or the posts when you found. Don't blame us cause you decided to flash. You found them once, use the search button to find them again
Some of the stuff is on the Extras wiki page so you might like to start there.

Banana head...buhwawa! Very correct.
People...save your cabs. on your SD and on your lappy or pc or mac or whatever you use. who knows when you'll need to handle up on some cab business.
Also don't complain...the wiki is there for everyone. You wanna see something on the wiki then wiki.

Why don't you click on the "attachement" icon on the sticky thread to check if there's any cabs you are looking for? As the others suggest, use the SEARCH option.
I have a few cabs in my sig.
It's True!
You can never get a cab when you need one.

the wiki can be edited by any member.. if you find something that is much needed then put it on the ftp (as long as it dont violate any of rules) and add it to the wiki with a link to it.
i also went ahead and made a hermes wiki page for carrier settings cabs.. Anyone feel free to edit this and add files
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_provider_cabs
Not more f'n stickies, there is already a larger list than on the main hermes sub, of crap I gotta scoll through every page, and Im sure Im not the only one who browses the forums mainly on their device.
Also, I got this idea a few years ago from someone when I first started messing with PPC's. When you find a cab that you will use again. Make sure you save it as "read only" that way is does not get deleted when you run it. I keep a folder on the storage card with a file labled cab's and back it up frequently. I must agree, It's sometimes difficult to find what I'm looking for when I do search. I love the fun of creating an interesting subject heading, but that does not help someone doing a search if the subject is inside jargon. Your subject heading will help no one down the line looking for the same info, even if you are pointed at the source for cab's in this thread.
If the guy doesnt even know how to save the damn cabs file on his computer or storage card, I'm wondering how did he manage to flash the phone to begin with.

I know how to download a file but no-one WANTS to save each "this could be useful someday" cab.. It is an UNUSEFUL THING and lead to confusion, requires maintenance (to always keep the latest version) and so on.
Everyone does backup his cab (if he uses, have used, or he's sure it will use them).
FTP each cab (and edit the wiki accordingly) IS a LONG operation to do now that could be avoided if MODS forbid to have post attachment.
Do you want to share a cab? OK.. put it in FTP, edit the wiki, and post here both links instead of attaching directly the file.
Hard Drive space is cheap and you should never count on someone else to make sure you will have the resources you want or need.
I have more Cab Files than I can count and don't plan to stop saving them.
Mods are here to moderate not rule over the users. This place is a community effort.
If you see a need then do something to fill it. You want a Wiki Page with useful Cab Files, start it and upload the cabs you do have as a beginning.
This discussion is going nowhere so I'm closing the thread.

Here's a couple of quick .cabs I created for myself and decided to share with everybody else. "Calibri Mod" will change your system font to the Calibri font. Screenshots below. The second cab "NRG Battmeter" will put a line at the top of your screen that indicates your battery charge at all times. It turns blue when charging, yellow or red depending on the battery charge remaining. Enjoy
p.s. You HAVE to reboot to see the changes made by any of the these two cabs...
Thanks NRG! You mos def have some great contributions! I like the Calibri mod. I tried to alter mine to Lucida Grande myself by just dumping the font in the Window\Fonts folder and doin' the Reg edits, but it just looked too big still. Lucida Grande is a great font though. You might want to try it with something.
PS - What background is that you use?
how can i get these fonts for the wm6.0 offical rom can anyone direcet me to the right link to download and find out how i can change my fonts
thanks guys
i don't see any difference between the battery meter in your thumbnail and the one already included in kavana/ricky's roms. Is there something I'm missing?
its that green bar on top of the screen, almost useless, but probably visually pleasing
and when I installed the calibri font cab it would freeze up my phone periodically for like 10/20 seconds every 5 or so minutes so I removed it....i dunno why this happened.
Hey NRGZ28 Can upload The Chome.dll file for me ,,,, the one where it shows your photos on your storage card on your sliding homescreen .. thank you and nice file....
you can find that in Rickwyatts Kavana Rom thread

Actually, you may not want to use that .dll on that thread.... it shows ALL image files in the pictures on the home screen....i mean ALL ! every .ico file from all directories on your storage card. all temporary internet files with imagees attached. everything! However, if you want to do this without a .dll fix then create a file called pictures in your storage card's root directory ( not My pictures...just pictures) place your pics in that folder and you will be able to see them on your home screen... the only problem is that if you have photos you've take from your camera. they will not immediately go into that folder, so yo'll have to cut and paste them in that folder as you take your pictures from your camera. I'm currently working on a way for the camera to put those pics immediately into that folder via regedit , but i've had no luck so far
If you look in HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/Image you can edit SaveFolder_0409 to Pictures instead of My Pictures, and that takes care of your folder issue I believe, the only thing is it saves the pictures file into storage card/my documents and not into the root directory. But I remember seing a place that does have the path where the pictures go to, but haven't found it yet.

Naw i tried that.... when you make that edit, what happens is the camera creates the folder \storage card\my documents\pictures and/or creates the folder \my documents\pictures if you have it saved to your local device as soon as you take a picture.. somewhere it still starts at the \my documents folder
i've done a lot of digging and modding with the registry in addition to editing the aforementioned key but i have had no success
i modded everything that started with \my documents or that started with \mydocuments\my pictures hell i even created another folder called pictures in the phones root directory and it didnt make a difference
ohhh NRG, i love the new battert meter thats a really nice touch. Great job

Does the DOT DOT folder work in WM ? Can you specify "\..\Pictures". That way if it automatically prepends My Documents in either the Storage Card or the Device, the .. would take you back to the parent folder (top level) again.
May be worth a try.

Naw it doesn't work. Unfortunately the Key is looking for a direct attribute , not an attribute in directory structure. I've tried the ..\ thing and it doesn't do anything
I have tried the font change cab...but...it only changes my system fonts...
How do I change the home screen font?...
I have edited the .XML and have the font in the windows directory....
Any ideas?
I have added the .XML
What I'd like to know is how you got that battery icon!

Sorry it's just named "NRG Battmeter" which tends to make it look like it's your's no mention of Saman who made the software.
Any chance of doing a thread on showing us how to incorporate our own fonts? Sure many people would be interested.
thanks bro
I searched and cant find an answer. Is it possible to have my WM6.1 "My Photos" home screen photo viewer show the photos stored on my mem card as opposed to only showing the ones in phone memory?
Yes just setup the folder on your mem card called "Pictures", this will let them show in your viewer.
By the way, just out of curiosity, what site are you a mod for?
Hope this info helps.
modmymoto.com
and thanks for the help!
EDIT: One other question... Is there a way to get the camera to automatically save the pictures to the aforementioned folder on my storage card?
anyone? Bueller?
nope, not yet.
much appreciated!
I found a reg entry that could help. Try changing one of the following:
HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera\OEM\PictureLocation and the values for internal and external.
Just an idea, maybe that could work.

Made the change and rebooted. Took a test pic... no difference.
But big thanks for researching and helping out! It was definitely worth a shot.

Hello Guys,
Finally, we have an almost working solution. A member has posted a .cab that changes your DPI from 131 to 96 DPI.
It works ! I have personally tested it myself. However, it still needs work done.
This looks great but it still needs some minor work done. If I do come across any solutions, I will keep you guys posted. If you guys come across anything, please post here so we can figure this one out.
Setup Instructions:
1) Run the WM6.1-131to96dpi.CAB file
2) when it asks for you to restart, do not restart.
3) Click Start, Accessories and run Command Processor, and click the "..." button.
4) Go to Menu, Browse Folder, and select the folder where you put the dpi.ccs file.
5) Now you will see the dpi file, and then go ahead and run it.
6) Wait for it go back to the homescreen and then reboot your phone.
Uninstall Instructions:
1) Start > Settings > Remove Programs
2) Select .CAB (131 to 96 dpi)
3) Click Remove Program
---------
Issues:
1) Programs in storage card - do not run OR files are missing
2) Rinku's Iconbar is slightly cut off from the bottom
3) Smart tool kits "start" button is misaligned
4) Wallpaper is slightly cut off from the bottom
5) NRG Miniweather - Date & Day are not properly aligned either
6) Pocket Nester Plus not working (maybe due to ROMs stored on storage card)
ATTENTION: PROGRAMS ON SD CARD ARE NOT WORKING, NOR ARE MY IMAGES FOR MYFAVES SHOWING UP. HOWEVER, STORAGE CARD SEEMS TO WORK.I UNINSTALLED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I am posting screenshots for you guys and I have attached the .zip (which includes .cab and dpi.ccs) for you to download. The experts out there, use this as foundation and see if you can fix it for our phones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. FOR NOW, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR ERASE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DEVICE.
Credit goes to falleny for posting this .cab and pudgedaddy for instructions on how to fix dpi.ccs - Great Job!
Best Regards,
lukybandit
thanks for your updated screenshot...
try to delete lcd.ttf and plumsip5.dll from your windows folder
if it still have problem, i may ask the guy who make this cab
pudgedaddy said:
One thing i have a question with is how does this behave when using PIE or Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? or other applications such as games ?
Secondly, now un-installable is this app? If it's not something i want to use at this point, am i at the point of no return without hard-reset?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can sure this is safe and uninstallable...have a try, if u don't like it...just uninstall it...from your setting menu
aiight it works fine...if u have LCD installed and use medium or larger format in Opera it won't look right. and yea...other than that...seems to be working fine...another note.
dpi.css.zip has to be renamed to dpi.css and then in CeleCMD you have to make it so it can see all files then u can run dpi.css...at least that is what i did. and all works fine.
edit: Or that.
works great...few issues...the messaging icons are a bit messed up...in celetask the 'reboot, shutdown, etc' icons are a bit messed up...hmmm...picture viewer is acting funny....and i cant access folders on my storage card just the storage card itself.
What's the purpose of lowering the dpi?
Please Check Post 1
I have fixed the dpi file by renaming dpi.css to dpi.ccs as well as unzipped it into the ZIP folder in first post. Thank you pudge for the instructions
Now you can follow the instructions and it should work as shown but there are still some minor issues except one being major that is SD programs are not working. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone comes across any fixes, please post here.
another issue...PocketNesterPlus not working (ROMS are stored on storage card so that may be the issue) get :
Error
_____________________
can not open or Mapper not supported
Thank you, and thanks to everyone that worked on this. I have been waiting for this for a while.
I was going to install it earlier today but i was getting a corrupt message from the dpi.css; Im glad you updated it very quickly.
If anyone is running Rickywatts vanilla ROM, you can find the command processor in "My Tools". Just a heads up.
Dang it, that sucks cause I got guitar hero three on my SD card... What the heck...
this is a great day thank you for your hard work. I tried this myself but my WM kung-fu is lacking anyone else?
First of all, thanks to all the developers and researchers responsible for making this happen.
Second, I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
Is anybody else getting the same error and/or knows what should I do to get past it? I really want to try this...
BTW, my excalibur is app unlocked already (surreal networks app used).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
I really like the way this looks, but is there anything i can do to make the text a bit bigger?
Im running WM6.1 and the small text is somewhat hard to read.
Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.
Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?
Thanks.

Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)
basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

Hey,
Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.
The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.
That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready .
man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.
works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.
Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.
This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.

Hi!
I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:
"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...
Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers.
Hi Guys, my first post here.
Just wanna say thanks to all the contributors/posters and this is the best forum for touchpro 2 configuration.
Last night, i spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to configure the Internet Tab on the Tmobile TP2.
After hours of searching through the forums, i finally figure out what needs to be done. However, i bet alot of people have trouble looking for these links.
So i decided to put all i had learnt in one thread and hope everyone can follow this.
Unfortunately due to me dozing off and my pc shutting off, i was unable to save all the posts and their contributors, so I apologize for not giving any credit but I assure you that i am not taking any credit for this post.
All Tmobile TP2s comes loaded with IE and Opera. I prefer Opera myself and I want Internet Tab to launch everything in Opera.
This is what i did...
1) Download Registry Editor (you can google it or go to this linklink
2) (this was quoted from the thread)
navigate to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
change value in DefaultBrowserIsIE from "1" to "0"
change value in Internet.SetOperaForeground from "0" to "1"
Registry Edit tutorial thread
For Internet Tab Configuration.
This was a little tricky for me, but looking through the posts helped clued me in on what to do.
1)You need to find a xml file located in the following:-
\Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-en-us.xml
Some people may able to edit this file on their phone, but i prefer to make a copy and put it on my pc so that i have a few backups.
2)Make sure that the Readonly option has been unchecked for this file.
3) You will see the following when you first open the file for edit. (use notepad)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>
<Banner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
Text="Launch Browser"
NavigateUrl="http://m.web2go.com"
UrlText="web2go"
Width="480"
Height="215" />
<OperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />
<Link
Text="CNN"
NavigateUrl="http://tmobile.cnn.mlogic.mobi"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
<Link
Text="ESPN"
NavigateUrl="http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/index?z=TM"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
<Link
Text="Facebook"
NavigateUrl="http://m.facebook.com"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
</OperatorLinks>
</InternetPortal>
4) Remove the line <BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
This will now launch the lower left Bookmarks and lower right browser in Opera. (this is only possible, if you have already edit the registry in the previous tutorial)
Replacing the tag <BrowserExe>\Window\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe> with <BrowserExe>\Windows\Opera9.exe</BrowserExe> only launches the "Earth" tab in Opera but the tabs will not be launched at all, not even in IE. Don't know why this happens. You can even edit the Banner tag so that it doesn't go to the web2go website by modifying the NavigateUrl to "" or whatever you want.
5) Adding/Removing the Push Tabs.
Look for the tag <OperatorLinks>. you will notice that the three "permanent" tabs are located here. You need to remove the tag <Link> in order to remove them
For example: I don't want the facebook Tab on this screen. So I remove the whole tag
<Link
Text="Facebook"
NavigateUrl="http://m.facebook.com"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
You can add more Tabs accordingly by following how the previous link tags are.
6) You can also use your opera bookmarks to show up on this screen by replacing/modifying this tag
<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>. Set the False to True, and you will now be able to use all your Opera Bookmarks on this tab. This does include the pre configured Tmobile links. I got around this by removing the Tmobile links or place them all in a new folder. This is easily editted by going through Opera Browser.
Opera Browser Configuration
Look for the following files in your TP2
\Windows\Opera9\opera.ini
\Windows\Opera9\opera1.ini
1) Allowing more browser tabs in Opera.
Open up opera.ini and look for "Maximum Allowed Tabs"
You can change 2 up to 17. I can't find the thread for this configuration.
2) I got rid of all the url references to tmobile and even made sure the regular options point to www.google.com so that the browser loads up faster.
I know there could be more configuration that i may not have found yet, but this is the most basic i could do get the Internet Tab working like how it was supposed or how i want it to be. Still can't figure out how to make Push Internet work however.
Please use this thread to post other threads or even new ideas on how to configure this tab.
Enjoy and good luck !
Great info here...I also spent a lot of time solving this problem too, but I found one other thing with my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 that's definitely important to note...

My phone definitely has this file. It also has the same file located at "\Windows\" with the same name as above, but also in: \Windows\27c65cbd_manila
After finally finding the registry key to disable IE from the internet tab, I methodically checked each of these files for which one my system was actually using...and it turned out to be the *_manila file.
Just to be thorough, I made sure to keep all copies on my phone identical, just to be safe, but this may be helpful if it still just doesn't work for some reason.
Thanks for the info guys, I will look into this as soon as I get my TP2 back up again.
This path doesn't exist on the TELUS version:

Worked very good, thanks very much! Although, in this section: NavigateUrl="http://m.web2go.com"
UrlText="web2go"
I put Google for the UrlText and it didn't show up, oh well, I don't mind it too much.
Yeah that's strange.
I was able to put Launch Browser in the URL Text, and it worked....
As long as it is still launching google, that is all that matters right ? hehehe
Try a soft reset.... that may work. Or, go to another tab and then return to the Internet tab to get it refreshed from the XML that you had modified.

I put Google in mine and it worked like a charm. No reset required. I used Notepad on the PC side to do it.
If anyone is finding they can't see the file from Windows, go to your Folder Options and uncheck "Hide protected os files"
Thanks btong1978, this post was really helpful. I banged my head on this for days. It's crazy that T-mobile would believe that everyone would want to go to CNN and ESPN. No offense to fans of these sites, but I have better things to do with my mobile browser, like movie times and wikipedia.

or even smaller to get more bookmarks on your screen. With Height="60" I was able to get 5 bookmarks to show beneath the logo without scrolling.
Also, the <IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites> works for IE as well, so change-away.

Oops, while the bookmarks will be launched in IE, they are actually managed in Opera. No biggie, at least I don't have to edit the XML file again.
WOW Thank you very much!!!

THanks for the compliment on your other post ! I was just as much frustrated on how to change the internet tabs. Good thing i was running high on energy drinks that night. LMAO.
the previous quote may be due to the reg edit that i posted earlier. I haven't tried this yet, but if you switched the values in these .....
change value in DefaultBrowserIsIE from "0" to "1"
change value in Internet.SetOperaForeground from "1" to "0"
It might end up taking the IE bookmarks instead. I don't know tho.
I also had a problem of the bookmarks launching in IE instead of Opera, but when i removed the line
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
It will launch the bookmarks on the tab in opera.
I also found another trick that if you make this line instead....
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe> , it will launch the bookmarks in Opera if you didn't edit the registry just yet. However i can't verify this, since i made so many changes in the registry that i couldn't keep up with what changes i made.

Unfortunately, this thread is for the Tmobile version, if anyone has any idea where this would be on the Telus, please feel free to post. I don't know of the telus version though.
Thanks !

I'm just saying that if the Telus version doesn't have IE as default, then there really shouldn't be any problem. But as the_sys0p said, it's really the manila file that determines all the defaults.
Thank you!
Thanks for this thread. Here is some related info that I got from this post:

How can i change the search engine in the internet tab?
Use a registry editor and add/modify the following key (the one below is the standard search engine - Google)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"InternetSearchUrl"="http://www.google.com/m?source=mobilesearchapp&v=1.0&aq=f&q=%s"
I don't need the search bar in the internet tab, how can I disable it?
Use a registry editor and add/modify the following key (standard = "false")
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DisableInternetSearch"="true"
why the hell couldn't i find this post when I was trying all of this? I actually had like 4 different threads up that had all this info scattered. Anyway, I actually made a cab that'll do all of this.

Hi Guys, my first post here.
For Internet Tab Configuration.
This was a little tricky for me, but looking through the posts helped clued me in on what to do.
1)You need to find a xml file located in the following:-
\Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-en-us.xml
Some people may able to edit this file on their phone, but i prefer to make a copy and put it on my pc so that i have a few backups.
2)Make sure that the Readonly option has been unchecked for this file.
3) You will see the following when you first open the file for edit. (use notepad)

I don't know why, but I'm unable to open the file on my PC, and I can't edit this on the phone. Can you help me with that? I opened OneNote on the phone, pasted the xml, did my changes on there, but have no idea how to change the xml file in the \Manila\ folder.
I'm pretty much stuck on this...
open the xml on your computer with Notepad. then move the file back to your phone through Active Sync

It won't let me access the xml on my computer. Notepad can't access it for some reason.
EDIT: Nevermind! I did a soft reset on my phone, resynced it to my computer and now I accessed it. Thanks for your contribution xnifex.
And of course, thank you very much btong1978!
Now is there a way to make Skyfire the default browser in the Internet tab? I'm starting to like it more than Opera.
Great Post!!
I used the info from MattandTracy to do a lot of tweaking, but the part I couldn't find out was how to change the Internet default browser.
I edited the .xml page to tell it to look for Skyfire, instead of IE (or Opera) and I set Skyfire as the default browser when it asked me to. I then customized the Internet Page (It's now the "InterWeb" page) and I customized the push pages and added one of my own. It still kept bringing up IE.
Thankfully, you identified where in the registry to go and stop this! Now, it brings up Skyfire, and I can go to whatever page I want to.
I also edited the other push pages using the .xml page, so that they go to the sites' actual mobile page, with no reference to T Mobile. Really speeds things up!
Thanks so much. You really helped me out.
