I would like to change the path of the registerkeys for the "mail/internet explorer" buttons on the hardware keybord.
Anyone find them in the register?
Is this what You need ?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\Keybd\PieHomePage
regards,
Ruud
Thanks for your reply.
That key is for changing the default homepage.
What i'm searching for is the following;
I have Opera as Web Browser.
When i push the internet button automaticly the default Browser (PIE) starts.
I would like to change the path of that key to the Opera browser.
Thesame for the mail button.
I would like to change the path from the default application to the programm i use.
I found in \Windows\AppButtons about every link for the buttons to start applications.
However mail isn't there.
If I take the Iexplore link en change its target in the properties to \Storage card\Program Files\Opera opera.exe it still doensn't work.
Not even after a soft reset.
Thats strange because the link in \Windows\AppButtons is indeed now opening Opera correctly.
I'sn't this \Windows\AppButtons related to the registry?
If not, this map doesn't make any sence to me.
Am I the only person who likes his Iexplore/Mail button to directly open the program I use instead of the default one?
I'd like to change the IE button to open Windows Media Player (I use it more often, so it makes sense to me)
So if anyone knows this, that would be grand
if you have t mobile rom NL
if you have t mobile rom NL this is the solution
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FavoritesEntries\T-Mobile Favourites\url
this is the reg file to chance the home page
goodluck!
I too have been wanting to change teh Mail and Explorer.
OK, I have been with a blackberry now for 2 years and my WM skills are very rusty. I have a TMO Dash running the latest HTC ROM posted here. I remember on a pocket pc you could reorganize, add/delete things on the home screen. How do you do this on the Dash?
My homescreen displays the following in order:
Blackberry: Connected
Owner: Tedy
Get More... 10:20PM
WiFi: Off 1/28/2008
Profile: Normal
Text Messages (1); Email: (0); MMS: (0)
Enter a Password
No Upcoming Appointments
"a bunch of one-click icons"
How do you rearrange these items, e.g. I don't want to display owner info, or I want to move Blackberry:Connected to the bottom. How do you do this?
TIA.
It depends on how much pc and scripting knowledge/background you have.
If you're proficient, you can copy over the *.xml file found in \Application Data\Home.
Open it up on your pc with an xml editor app or directly in notepad, and at that point re-script it to show the plugins and other information in the order and arrangement you prefer.
You're second option is to install some ready-made homescreens which take the onus of choosing what to display on your homescreen and how to arrange it. (If you search this forum for "home screen" or "themes" you'll get the necessary resources)
Suggest a google search for "Q home screens" minus the quotes. Then drag and drop the xml and images to "application data\home" on the excalibur
that or goto http://www.madbeetle.com, where they have a freeware homescreen builder, no XML nowledge required!
I've search up and down the forum and googling, all I see is people asking the same question over and over again, but there are no answers to it.
How can I create a shortcut to the settings page generally? not to any specific features! I'm using the new manila and would like to place a shortcut to the settings browser at the new start menu. I know how to edit a custom shortcut but what's the link to it? any body have any idea? It's the same link as we click on the 'All Settings' softkey when we go to settings tab.
This mite help Its not vga but it works for me.
just unzip
put the settings.exe on your ppc
and create a shortcut to it
let me now if it works for you
it works perfect! thanks! 1 thing is that it's vga so the fonts are bigger than usual.. but at least it does the job for now! how can i get a wvga version of this?
glad I could help
If you find a wvga one let me know
This is what I have on Dutty's ROM for Settings from Programs:
Registry entry HCLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3
Command: STRING: --switchtopage Manila://settings.page
DispName: STRING: Settings
IconPath: STRING: \windows\HTC\Assets\Images\programlauncher\Program_icon\settings_88.qtc
Path: STRING: \Windows\manila.exe
I guess you can try to remove settings for VGA and setup this registry. You can choose any free position, in my case it's 3 for the first icon in second row.

No this is not I want, I had this on Dutty's rom too. But I can always get there using the touchflo slider. What I want is straight to the settings browser of windows where you got the 'Personal', 'System', 'Connection' tabs at the bottom. Thanks for helping though.
Is there a WVGA version of settings.exe?
VGA is good but not very beautiful...
Thanks.
up, is anybody have the settings.exe for wvga?
up, please, seems that dutty had this settings.exe for wvga
I'm also searching for a solution, i like the new start menu but it's very annoying not to have a direct link to the windows settings. Why do we need a settings.exe ?? I mean if go to the settings tab the left button "All Settings" points to the windows settings, there should be a registry entry or something.
Nobody has a solution for this?
sure there's a solution, for exemple dutty use it in his roms but it seems nobody show interest in this topic.....
PUH-LEEEEEEEEEZ!!
If someone know a solution please tell us!!

But on the Manila Settings tab, the left softkey goes to the Windows setting. So there have to be some kind of shortcut or registry entry behind it.
Deleted .
there is a program called "sk shortcut manager" you can use it to create shortcuts to any settings item, the program is not free but you can use the trial period to create and save all your shortcuts, google it you'll find it
here is a download link http://trials2.pocketgear.com/downloadi.asp?product_id=21828

try this app. it used to work on my 6.1 device but noticed problems that not all settings icons were displayed.
but, who knows, maybe it is rom dependent.
I have been searching and searching to no avail.
There has got to be some way to remap the "Launch Browser" button on the Manila "Browser" tab to launch the browser program of your choice?
I know I can select Skyfire as my default browser and it will launch with other programs... but I would like that same browser to launch when I push the big button on the Manila tab.
Seriously... there has got to be a way... anyone?
I found where someone else posted this in the HTC Diamond forums in responce to this same question about a year ago. I haven’t had the opportunity to try to confirm this as a work around:
All you need to do is to modify a file named “InternetPortal-en-US.xml” which is located in \Application Data\Manila. Use the freeware application Total Commander to navigate to this file and once you locate it press the pen/paper icon on the bottom of the page and that will open the file on the screen so you can edit it.
Once the file is open in Total Commander just add one of the following lines after the line <InternetPortal> which is towards the top:
Opera is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>\mobile\OperaL.exe</BrowserExe>
Internet Explorer is:
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
SkyFire is:
<BrowserExe>\Program Files\Skyfireskyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Iris is:
<BrowserExe>\program files\iris browser\irisbrowser.exe</BrowserExe>
I installed Opera Mobile 9.5 beta to my storage card, so my new path is:
<BrowserExe>\storage card\program files\opera
*Note if you can't save your changes - make sure that the file isn't set on "read only" (click the hand holding the paper icon and uncheck the "read only" box. You may have to click twice to remove the setting)
As I would be looking at going to Skyfire, I’m guessing my path would look something like this: <BrowserExe>\Storage Card\Program Files\Skyfireskyfire.exe</BrowserExe>
Again, I haven’t tested this yet (I'm at work), but looking at the information posted in the .xml, it does appear to control/direct what happens when that Launch Browser button is pushed. Whether or not other files also have an effect, and what these changes would effect, are yet unconfirmed (as I saw no replies after that post).
There are however other commands in that .xml file that I'm not sure how they effect things and I would love a second opinion.
you can go into the registry and navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER and change the path in line number 1 to lead to whatever browser that you want to use and then change the name in line number 0...hope this helps!!

I know how to change the "default browser" that other programs (mail, Twitter etc) launch via hyperlink. That's easy.
Setting another browser as the default browser however DOES NOT CHANGE Opera from launching from the "Launch Browser" button on the Browser tab in Manila. I want this button and tab to launch a different browser as well.
Still haven't sat down and tried the method I posted above... but I'll report back if I can get it to work.
I've found this in a few places too... unfortunatly... nither the directory nor the file exist in this version. I even had it searching hidden & system files to no avail. Am looking for alternatives.
Check out this thread:

Also, here is item 4 from that thread. It appears you can have what ever browser you want to launch from the "Globe". But it does not effect the bookmarks you have set in the Manilla browser tab. I need it to launch these as well in my selected browser. BTW I have done the tweaks here, and can confirm they do work. I have 6 of my own bookmarks on the browser tab. And I got rid of the globe, didn't need it.
But I am still using Opera 9.5. I really want to be able to make this work with the book marks cause once Fenec is released I will be using that instead.
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

Unfortunately, as I had said in my other post, neither the file referenced nor the path are on my device. It has got to be buried elsewhere. I just need to know where.
threetima:
You don't mention what device, exactly you have (carrier variant). Or which ROm you have (stock or some cooked version like 6.5)

Are you referring to the "IternetPortal-en-US.xml” file?
I'm looking at it right now on my Verizon CDMA TP2.
As for the other tweak... glad to hear Im on the right track. Cant wait till Im home and can do some file editing on the laptop. I don't use the bookmarks on the Launch Browser page very often, so I feel that I'm very close to having a solution for this issue. Now I just need to arrange the free time to give it a shot.
I know this answer is out there, but I can't find it now. What is the registry key to change which application (WM or HTC) opens when you tap a message from the message tab in TF3D?
Thanks
EDIT: Found it - not a registry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3771519&postcount=2991
