i was searching every where for a way to edit the list programs in the launcher and i finally came up with my own method,,,, may be there are easier ways but then i missed it..
using registry editor( i use resco ) edit the lines in the hklm , software, htc, htc home, launcher
there are folders from 0 to 8 open.. they are listed according to the icons on the screen.. open them and create a new string value with name "path" and
string ,the program u want to use
eg: for one mobile note i used
Name--- path
string--- \windows\onenotemobile.exe
the string value depends where you have installed the program....
You can use gs finder to copy the path and then paste it in the sting box....
Problems
i found that i was unable launch programs installed in the storage card.( may be some error that i made) , so i made them appear in the start menu and then took the link from there and pasted it in the string value box....
eg: the link for a program that i use in my clinic daily , thomson clinical drug index, i use the link, \windows\start menu\thomson.lnk
Hope all this made some sense... if some one has found some cab or easier way to do this, please post it here....
Sorry for all the confusion and the mistakes that i made ( busy to edit them )
Hi
Maybe I misunderstand your question, but If you want to edit the program list, you must only select the last icon in the second row.
Now you can delete the app of your choice. Now, when the place is empty, you can press the placeholder and select the program you want from the appearing list.
That's all.
ROFL, dude, you took developing/programming to whole new level!
i am embarrassed. sorry

I've read Schap's tutorial:

Then i've installed Action Screen from HTC Touch Dual.
Well if i start app after installation, i don't see any message on top of action screen.
If make a new file HTCActionScreen.exe.0410.mui by copying HTCActionScreen.exe.0409.mui (my OS is in italian), i can see on the top: "Dial phone number or select a task below:"
So, i've downloaded resource hacker changed the string (only the string not string code!) in italian and saved into a new file called HTCActionScreen.exe.0410.mui, but nothing happens.
Why?
Wich is my fault?
Thanks for help
in order to enable SPB smart scroll on my tilt WM6 (and disable touchflo) i have been following instructions to change a few registry settings. while most are easy i cannot figure out one of the steps:
2) Change HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Driver Name to "PocketPlusTouch.dll"
i dont seem to have any "driver name" under the "touch" folder...
where do i find this?
btw- looking around i did notice a "driver name" under the "KEYBD" folder but i am guessing that isnt it.
under "touch" i have (Default), "Calibration Data" and "MaxCalError".
as to the "pocketPlusTouch.dll" file itself everything is allright i have the file and understand the steps, i just need help finding the aforementioned "driver name"
thank you.
the step is taken from here:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=13527&page=2
Try creating a new entry inside that key (not Dword, not binary. Text chain would be, wouldn´t it?). Must look somehow like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"drivername"="pocketplus touch.dll"
(You need a registry editor. Resco is the best. But even the one included in pocket commander will do)
reg edit help
first off thanks for the speedy reply.
i understand from what you wrote that i need to create a new value in the touch folder (as oppose to a new key)?
when i try to create a new value it asks for the "type"...
i have no "text chain" in the drop down menu, only dword, reg_sz,reg_binary, and others.... what type do i put?
No english
I sometimes forget how to say smthng in English. Gezz
Create a new "String" entry, not a new key. I would like to help more, but I don´t have neither spb scroll nor a tilt
Good luck

you speak and have
That actually does not work. That registry entry is only for the current list selected in TouchFlo 3D, not the database with all of the cities/countries. Since this is not the database file itself, backing up this registry entry will not restore your custom locations to your database.
So, does anybody know the location of the actual database???

ok here's how i do mine....
1). Find 2330fc3c_manila in your phones \windows folder.
2). Download, Install & Run this --> SQLite Administrator
3). Now open the manila file with SQLite Administrator
4). Add the cities you want, visit www.accuweather.com to get your weather codes, it'll automatically save itself,
5). Now you can either make a cab of use Resco File Explorer to add it to you windows folder,
need and help or get stuck just pm me, mate

Try this one and repeat step 13.

Hi there!
I'm a beginner cooker and need some help with few things that I can't solve with myself
My ROM is based on WM6.5 build 61222 in Ervius Kitchen 8.0
1. Copying the files in File Explorer doesn't work... First I tap on specific file, then I select "copy", then I want to specific the path in the top left corner, f.g. from IS to maim memory and then it crashes...I don't know what to do
2. Opera9.exe and AlbumSearcher.exe are active all the time in Processes list in dotTask Manager. I have to kill them but after SR they appear again. Isn't it something wrong?
3. After every SR calendar and contacts are poping up... how can I solve it?
4. I want to set the softkeys (I'm not using Manila or Titanium) so I made registry key, but I don't know what is the .exe name for contacts? For sure it's not poutlook.exe because it gives no reaction. So what .exe should I put into the registry file?
Thanks in advice!
REGARDS!
1: use Total Commander
2: there's a registry entry you need to add for opera to exit on closing; google for this one
3: check your init/and-or startup
4: it's actually a link in rai; poutlook -contacts
adwinp thanks for answering, but...
1. Total Commander is an alternative program but I want to fix the problem with builded-in File Explorer. I want my ROM to be free of bugs as much as it's possible.
2. It's not problem with closeing because opera9.exe is there at the beginning, after every SR even if I didn't run it.
3. Don't understand
4.So what am I suppose to add in this registry value?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="poutlook -contacts"
Is it correct?
Hey people,
Many people were pm'ing me n asking me to write tutorials on how to edit manila files n write lua.
As its a very less known topic im one of the few people who knows how to write it and edit it.
I will try to explain the basics first n then the advanced stuff
WHAT WE DO
---
To be frank
manila editing is complicated.Not cause its hard but cause it need a lot of imagination
UnLike other languages that uses graphics like flash or vb or whatever lua and manila editing DOES NOT give you a visual workspace
You have to image what you write in real time and so it needs a lot of trial /error
THE BASICS
What we need
1>m9editor
the files we want to work on
1>As the basics i would like to explain how the background for all tabs mod was made
1.we have a file called 5c9aa261_manila.
for me this is the most important file that a developer needs
in manila this is a file that controls backgrounds
1>For example it runs on every tab and executes its functions on every tab
It is the shadow of tf3d
So anything that you want in the background in every tab or u want to be seen in every tab u put here
So by common sense the slider and the background are in this file
Now what we do for the bgfor all mod
STEP 1
1>Make a png file size 512 X 512
Manila cant take a image of any size.Therea re fixed sizes.i personally always use the size 512 X 512
So now we have a image named lets say sample.png
STEP 2
copy the file 5c9aa261_manila from the windoes folder and open it in m9editor
doubl click it
NOw the hard part
the structure of a manila file was something that took me loads of thinking to figure out
a basic structure
Group (named whatever)
--FIle in group(top most layer)--this is what is seen right on top
--File in group(second layer)--this is what is seen underneath the upper file
and so on a and so forth
LUA
lua files are action script that are recognised by the tf3d
usually lua files are either of two types
1>binaries(damn its just a name nothing more)
using the search button you can search for "binary"
click on it and you will see code in it underneath
2>files that we ad..they always end in .lua ..so using search search for ".lua" and you will find it
Lua is scanned through by tf3d when u start it the first time
lua is usually at the top of the file
so for example lets write a little lua
Code:
money=function()
rotastrainsdonations=whatpeopledonated
if rotastrainsdonations>200$ then
title.String="rotastrainsrich"
else
title.String="need smore donations"
end
end
slider.onPress:money
this is seen by tf3d
whenever you will press the slider this function will be called
and it will display what the function does!!
So when u move around in the file you will see groups and files in them..
if you understand this much its enough to make whatever the hell u want
ok now getting back to what we want to do
Step 3
Searching for the existing background
images are always .qtc files
So search for ".qtc"
you will come to a file called "backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc"
now that we found it we need to place the file we want on top of it..so thats its seen in right on top and in every tab
so how to make a file that we want?heres secret no1
1>copy any qtc file thats existing by right clicking its entry ..for example the file now is "backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc"
right click copy
now right click on the entry again
click paste below
so now we have two entries of the same name
Group
--backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc
--backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc
change the top entries name
---change this name to whatever you want--for example firstbg
so now we have two entries
--firstbg.qtc
--backgroundlevel1..blahblahblah.qtc
now click ok
move your mouse over the entry
a small popup will appear
with a name like gftfgrh455_manila
thats the name of your file
Write it down somewhere
Click save
owerwrite
Step 4
now we need a qtc file to put ur image in
just take any _manila file from the windeos foler which is a image file
For example the file that i have used in my panoramic background mod
i will attach that here
paste it in the same place as the 5c9aa261_manila file
open it in m9editor
right click it
save as png
open the png file
paste your image in
save
open m9editor
right click the qtc file
load from png
rename the file to what we got earlier "gftfgrh455_manila"
done
Now paste both these files in ur widows folder
and walla
bgforall tabs in a second
This is a basic thing to do
Next step will be to integrate images with lua..
!!
Cheers
Rotastrain
Thank you very much for that dude!
It will be interesting to see if i can do some things with that... =)
Thanks for this basic guide Rotas, I read it and it's interesting!
I know how to code, I haven't used LUA yet, but I'll learn that.
Before I can do this though, I feel like I need a better understanding of the directory structure in manila files.
Do I understand correctly that a manila file (mode9) is basically a library of LUA functions?
Can you tell us some more about the directory structure and how you find certain things? For instance, what if I'd want to change something in the "All Programs" menu of the start button programs menu - where would I need to look, and how do I look for it?
Ok
First about the manila file structure
the file structure is like this
-------LUA files come here at the top of the file..----
Its usually under -scene
this controls everything that is underneath it
Now after thats over
we add all the graphics
so the lua on top controls all the graphics below..thats the main part.
the lua is executed like this
1>---first file
2>---second file
3>---third file
to find something i first copy all the files from ur windows folder to ur pc..open it in m9editor..the names come on the side..
then use imagination
thats y its hard..caus its too unstructured..
now the 'all programs' is not a page.
it is generated by lua that we cant decompile..
so dnt think changing it is possible..but if we can decompile n read thru the shjitn find a few variables tweaking them in a sepearte lua file is possible
