I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE!
EDIT & CHANGE @ YOUR OWN RISK!!!
Personally, the Touch is the best phone I've used to date. But, there is always a way to make it run faster and custom to your needs. I figured I start a thread here with all available and possible system tweaks. I only know of a few, hopefully some of you out there know some more you can post.
*TO ENSURE YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO A HARD RESET AND LOSE ALL DATA, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE CHANGING THE SYSTEM*

below is a list of applications I either use or have used, and work great for tweaking your device
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Freeware
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PHM RegEdit
A perfect tool for editing your registry.
*CAB file attached below due to some confusion with which file is correct from website
Total Commander
Probably the best file explorer I have used, also includes a directory to your registry for editing.
schap's Advanced Config Tool
Great application for tweaking the system, as well as changing your comm manager, button mapping, file associations, and others.
dotfred's PIM Backup
A great free backup tool to be sure all of your PIM data [contacts, calendar, messages] is safe.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Additional software I recommend [NOT FREE!!!]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spb Backup
This is a great tool for ensuring your data is backed up! I have it set to automatically backup every morning at 5:00. Works well since I always have a copy no more than 24 hours old. Great software, I completely recommend it. Also, it includes a desktop component which allows you to extract information in the backup file like your text messages and contacts.
DinarSoft's MemMaid
I have found this to be a great tool for managing your system. It includes specific tools to manage the memory in all aspects, as well as some system tweaks.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Learning the Registry
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quote from our wiki, "The registry is a simple database where settings can be saved by windows applications, services, and the operating system itself."
In other words, the registry holds all of the important and sensitive data that your device uses to function properly, which is why you must BE CAREFUL!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*YOU MOST LIKELY NEED TO WAIT 60 SECONDS, THEN SOFT RESET FOR CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I highly suggest taking a look at the below articles to better your knowledge.
Even if you already know what it is, you may learn something new!
| Registry Explained [wiki] | Registry Editor Bible [wiki] | "How-To" Edit [WMExperts] |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disabling Auto-Suggest [xT9]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not all of you may have this problem, but if you do, you'll know it, and it probably irritates you! Certain ROM's that include the Touch Keyboard are set to xT9 as default, which causes the auto-suggest when typing in certain applications, like text messaging. It's the little black bar that pops up above the keyboard, even if your not using the Touch Keyboard. It slows down the typing speed and makes sending a new text more work than it should be. To rid of it , change the following registry entries.
1. Edit three registry values
1A.
Code:
HKLM>System>CurrentControlSet>Control>Layouts>e0010409>Ime File
String Value: "\Windows\compime.dll"
1B.
Code:
HKLM>System>CurrentControlSet>Control>Layouts>e0010409>Layout Text
String Value: "COMP IME"
1C.
Code:
HKCU>ControlPanel>Sip]>SuggWords
DWORD Value: "0"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Original HTC Cube
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Removing the Cube
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Personally, I hate the original cube! Takes up a good bit of memory, and is almost impossible to change, at least for me. It may be that I'm using a custom ROM, but out of all the available cube sets out there, which includes the cube config app, it's never 100% correct. So I currently disabled it, prevented the use of the four associated apps, and use Slither's Cube. By doing this you can save some memory and prevent the accidental cube swipes in other apps.
1. Disable the cube - This requires one very simple registry edit
Code:
HKLM>Software>OEM>TFLOSettings>EnableCube
Set value from 1 to 0
2. To save memory, the four associated files, QuickDial.exe, MediaHubMini.exe, AppLauncher.exe, and BioTouch.exe have been recreated with a 0kb file size thanks to panosha.
The thread with the attahced files can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368269
All together this will prevent these apps from running in your memory, disable the cube, and still keep the remaining TFlo settings enabled, such as the kinetic scrolling.
*I have installed efrost's FTouchFlo, and it works great, doesn't interfere with anything else
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Disabling the Cube in S2U2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Musiman247, there is a registry edit that can prevent the cube from being opened while S2U2 is active (screen locked). There are two ways, manual and automatic.
1. Edit the registry (Manual)
Code:
HKLM>Software>HTC>Biotouch>Disable4SpecificApp
Create new key: "S2U2"
Create new string: "ClassName"
Value: "S2U2"
2. Install Musicman247's cab file (Automatic)
The cab file is found in this post at PPCGeeks, you will need to be registered to download: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=277324&postcount=18
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Keep the phone on during a call
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This has always bugged me to no end, having to turn the phone back on just to hang up.
I have found the best way to do this by using A_C's S2U2, and as xda users, you probably already have this installed.
Just a simple setting, here is how I have it set, basically you'll use S2U2 to control how your device shuts off.
1. System Settings
Code:
Settings>Backlight
Battery Power: Turn off after 30 sec
Code:
Settings>Power
Advanced>Turn off device if not used for: Disabled
2. S2U2 Settings
Code:
Lock when backlight turns off: On
Power Off in: 5 sec
but Blank Screen only: Off
Blank Screen on Talk: Off
Now you can talk all you want and not have to worry about turning the phone back on to enter digits or hang up!

GPS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*THIS REQUIRES FLASHING A RADIO VERSION OF 3.XX, BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO FLASH, PLEASE BE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING!*
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Basic GPS Settings
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always see this same question asked over and over again, so here it is, the proper settings of your GPS.
1. Before you can make any adjustments, you must, of course, have the GPS enabled. I will not get into flashing, since it is an entirely different subject. You could probably write a million word essay on how to do it, and there would still be questions. Best place to start is at PPCGeeks.
DHarvey made an awesome how-to guide, found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24979
For those who have already flashed, here are the settings, and one registry edit I've found, and seems to work.
2. System Settings
Code:
Settings>System>External GPS
Programs>GPS program port: COM4
Hardware>GPS hardware port: (None)
Hardware>Baud rate: 4800
Access>Manage GPS automatically: Enabled
3. Personal Settings
Code:
Settings>Personal>Phone
Location Setting>Location On: Enabled
4. Registry change that seems to help
Code:
HKLM>Software>HTC>SUPL AGPS>GPSMode
Change value from 2 to either 4 or 1
After everything is correct, it is best to use a GPS Primer to obtain your initial sat lock, that means only the very first time, unless you are in a completely different area. I currently use GPSViewer, it was included in the ROM I'm using, but there are few others like this floating around. Also, for the first time, it may take a few minutes, just be sure your outside on a fairly clear day, if you don't pick up the sats when your sitting in your basement on a cloudy day, don't be suprised!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
aGPS Settings [VZW Only!]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After reading about this, I had to try it! By doing this, you will open your device to the aGPS servers. What that means is, you'll have a much faster and more precise GPS device than most stand alone devices available. After doing this, I was able to obtain my position, without using a GPS primer, inside my office building in under seven seconds! Before doing this, I had to stand outside for almost a minute, at least on good days. Still, weeks later, I'm able to get my GPS position when some people have don't even have phone service available!
If you are with VZW, and already have enabled your GPS, this is something I completely recommend doing!

Commonly used Terms
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
everywhere here in the community, are tons of terms and acronyms used that most likely have you thinking...............huh ?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The complete glossary of terms can be found in our wiki.
| xda-wiki Glossary |
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Basics
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
XDA: Wondering how the site got its name?
Code:
"This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan.
Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN',
but almost nobody knows them by those names.
The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA',
and that's what we had in our hands first.
They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names."
HTC: High-Tech Corp.
PDA: Personal Digital Assistant
PPC: PocketPC
PIM: Personal Information Manager
SIP: Secondary Input Panel
AS: ActiveSync, the software used on your PC to transfer data to your PDA. Used with XP.
WMDC: Windows Mobile Device Center, same as AS, but for Vista.
CAB: Cabinet file, this is typically file you'll use for installing applications.
GPS: Global Positioning System, I hope you know what this is.
OS: Operating System, such as Windows Vista or Windows Mobile 6.1.
RAM: Random Access Memory, the term RAM is usually used for PC's, for PPC's, it's usually referred to as Program Memory.
Stylus: Worthless! Try to never use this in public, you'll just embarrass yourself!
Soft Reset: The same as restarting your PC, it's good to reset every day to help with system performance. To soft reset, simply press the button located to the right of the USB port on the bottom of the device with your stylus.
Hard Rest: Much like a System Restore for your PC, this will ERASE ALL DATA on your device and return it to factory defaults. You can do this by pressing and holding both the Send (Green) and End (Red) buttons, and performing a soft reset. You will then be given a set of on-screen instructions to continue the deletion of files.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ROM: Read-Only Memory, the set of system files, your OS.
Cook: For ROMs, it means to create or build a ROM.
Kitchen: The set of files used to cook a ROM, such as the PPCKitchen.
Chef: Ye who cooks the ROMs, and master of the kitchen!
Flash: Updating your ROM.
RUU: ROM Update Utility, the application used to flash your new ROM. If you've ever done a carrier ROM update, you may be familiar with this tool.
Unlocking: Typicallywhen you purchase your device from your carrier, it's locked, to prevent any system changes. You must unlock your device to allow changes, such as flashing the new ROM.
SPL: Secondary Program Load, is the boot loader of your phone, much like the BIOS is the boot loader for your PC. You'll hear more on this when unlocking your device.
Bootloader: This does the job of booting up the device hardware and loading various items into memory before the ROM starts in the device. You'll access the bootloader when flashing a ROM. To enter bootloader, press and hold the Power and Camera button, and perform a soft reset.
ExtROM: Extended ROM, a dedicated part of the ROM memory that is (by default) hidden to the user. This area typically includes cab files that are loaded upon Hard Reset. This space is frequently used by carriers, or others creating ROMs, to store cabs that load settings onto the phone.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extras
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access, you only really need to know, if you have the CDMA version of the HTC Touch, you have the Vogue.
GSM: Global System for Mobile communications, if your HTC Touch is a GSM model, you have the Elf.
BT: Bluetooth
A2DP: Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
AVRCP: Audio/Video Remote Control Profile
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Button Shortcuts
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
While in the Dialer:
Up/Right: Call History
Down/Left: Speed Dial
Screen Calibration:
Center+Camera
Soft Reset:
Use your stylus to press the small button located to the right of the USB port
Hard Reset:
Hold Send+End, Soft Reset
Boot Loader:
Hold Camera+Power, Soft Reset

I saw your thread on this yesterday, great find! But can anyone else prove this works as well? There is a bit more to this than simple reg changes, and I'd like to stay away from anything too complicated. If this is a proven fix, I'll post some additional instructions on it after I do it.

All works well on my HTC Touch Elfin with this patch to disable the Cube, but now when I swipe up while in SPB MS I go back to today screen, kinda the lesser of 2 evils. How can I make the up swipe do nothing?

If you did everything listed, you basically disable any actions. But, if I'm not mistaken, that is a default from Spb.
PHM Reg editor
Hey guys. Kind of a dumb question...perhaps. How does one exactly install PHM reg editor? I d/l it. I ran the executable. It installed itself in my Program files folder and that's it. Am I to transfer *.cab to my phone and rum them to install this app?
Like I said, probably a dumb question but I had to ask.

I don't have a clue what the three letter abbreviation is after "Regedit", check the first post for the correct .cab file, the one I have used in the past.

How to upgrade?
Method 1: You must've installed the Ollipro's SPL 2.10 and select the option no. 4 which is
" SPL-2.02/2.10 New Bootloader and check the last check box " Is it Hard-SPL?" and then carry on with the upgrade wizard.
or
Method 2: Use SSPL when upgrading by checking the 5th radio button " Force using SSPL"
But I prefer the first method to the 2nd one.
Happy upgrading....
* Atttention Please! Some of the apps in my add-ons is not originally from the original author. So there maybe some compatibility issues with other ROMs. Do not install the applications from the add-ons on other Cooks' ROMs.
My ROM is SDKCert + other certs cooked in. So no need to install SDKCert anymore.

1. Download and execute the proper patcher in the same folder you extracted the NBH and RUUWrapper.exe files (Download below). If the patching success then ...
2. Run RUUWrapper.exe to install the ROM on your device as instructed in Section A.
**Attention: Never!, I mean 'never!' run my patch on other Cooks' .nbh files. It will brick your device!
And ...
If you already have ran the patcher once on the .nbh file, you still can run it again and again just to patch it to other size. Just select the appropriate patcher and run it on the same folder of the ROM .nbh file (Recommended).

Tips And Tricks!!!
Some simple tricks you can do to improve your device (Very simple but effective) And Some Hints:
1. Improve performance/response time:
- Start > Settings > Phone => Keypad = Off
- Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications; Under Sound Tab => Disable/Untick Events (warings, system events)
2. Your Windows Mobile device is just like your Windows PC. So, soft reset it before going to sleep (or whenever appropriate) once a day to make it runs good at all time.
3. Make sure you install the today plugin apps such as Resco Today Plugin etc. on the internal/device memory. Some today plugin can be installed on the storage card but it'll slow down your system performance a bit.
4. Do not install too many apps on the internal/device memory. Leave as much free space as you can on it. Check whether it can be install on the storage card or not. Normally, don't let it become as low as 8MB free but 10MB is enough already.
5. Know what you're doing such as tampering your system registry. Make sure it can be done and you're doing it the right way. If not, then leave it as is.
Downloading.... I am the first
A noob question. I didn't find Start > Settings > Phone > Keypad = Off
I don't see the tab. Am I missing somehing.
Feedback 1
Installed the Kaiser.3G.Dialer from the addon cabs. Got blank screen. Unistalled. Back to old dialer.

It's not a tab, it a dropdown box. When you open the phone settings, immediately you'll see the keypad dropdown box in the middle of the screen.
For your feedback No 1, It should install and launch ok. Try it again and soft reset after the installation. Remember to install it on the device memory.
Hi Cyphol,
Up and running ver. GM360.02a with no problems. Very smooth and no hangs.
The file explorer that I mentioned from Jasjamming's ROM's is gsfinder+
(Thanks for finding it out MistaRip!)
Now I see you already have this in your ROM. Can you just make this the default file explorer and forget the standard WM6 version. gsfinder+ is a superb program.
The Asia version Network wizard is great expect I also miss the China Mobile settings. I have to manual import them when I go across the border.
Thanks for your great work!!

Thanks. Good to hear you like GSFinder+ but I cannot delete the MS Explorer since it's a base core applications for some of the programs in the phone itself such as Bluetooth ftp etc. So GSFinder+ is considered as a bonus application.

Questions?
1. Is sdkcerts.cab integrated into the ROM?.
2. phcanoverbmp.dll is installed in the Dialers directory. It should go to windows.
3. Cyphol, your phcanoverbmp.dll is too big of a size. 470KB versus mine of only 150KB. The bmp inside the dll is 32bit bmp images. You dont need 32bit images, because the actual Kaiser images only contain 8 bits(256 colors). Therefore you cannot distinguish the diff if you convert all the bmp to 8 bits.
4.The first 3 bmp are wrong. It should contain the Video In, VideoOut, and Video Miss bmp.
I am done with the dialers. Make sure you use the latest update. The latest update use Kaiser Smartdialer which not only looks nicer but also provide more functionality over the traditional.
May I know what else did you change from the original?
Here's the fixed GifPlayer app.

SDK Cert is cooked in.
I'm using the phcanbmp* from Bennec83 for multi colored batttery icon.
I've already packaged your latest creation in the add-ons. Since many want the original dialer so i cooked in the original interface but package the Kaiser style for others including me.
Thanks for your great creation, Sir. I have many of your modified apps.

Using the Auto Installation Feature
Step 1: Preparing the cabs
---------------------------
- To use the auto installation features, the cabs must be set to "Read Only", must not have any "setup dll", and must have a "hard coded installation path" which means you should not be allowed an option to choose where to install the cabs.
- To set the cabs to a static path, install WinCECab Manager.
- Open a cab with WinCE Cab Manager and click on "CAB Information".
- Double click on "Default Install Dir" then select "Installation Directory" tab and choose "Do not allow user to select installation directory"
- Save the cab then right click on the can and select "Read Only" and click apply/OK.
- Check if there "Setup dll" is present under Cab Information. If setup dll is present, delete it off.
- Check and prepare all the cabs you want to auto install and place them into the Cabs Folder.
Step 2: Editing the Config.txt file
-----------------------------------
- You will now need to add the file names into the config.txt file.
- Open up Config.txt in "Cabs" folder with Notepad.
- You should see the following content:
Code:
LOCK:Enabled
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\Call_Firewall.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\TCPMP.cab
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\FlashVideoBundle.CAB
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\Threaded_SMS.cab
LOCK: Disabled
RST: Reset
- Ignore the Fist line "LOCK" and the last two lines "LOCK", "RST"
- From here on, it should be pretty straight forward. For every cab you want to install, you will need the line:
Code:
CAB: \Storage Card\Cabs\*CAB FILE NAME*
- Simply Add the name of the cabs you prepared earlier into this file and click "save".
- Right click on the config.txt file and select Read Only.
Step 3: HARD RESET!
---------------------
- Finally, HARD RESET the phone by holding down the two soft keys simultaneously, and push the reset button with the stylus
- Auto installation will begin after the Rom completes its configuration
THAT's ALL!! Not too hard is it?

FAQ
Q: Hardware keyboard symbols are incorrectly mapped....
A: Default Layout is AT&T 8525's layout. You can change the layout with PHM Registry. Select the Keyboard layout shortcut and change the settings to:
Q: I cannot map HOTVOICE to button 5
A: This is a known issue with the current keyboard driver, you can map hotvoice to any other buttons but button 5.
Q: My GPRS/MMS is not working
A: Install Connection Setup cab. Go into settings -> connection tab -> connection setup, and setup your operator.
Q: After playing with Advanced Config/SK tools with this rom, the beam button in Comm Manager disappeared!
A: Add the missing button back from Advanced config. Button 10 = "Beam" or don't use those tools.
Q: I can't save pocket outlook attachments to storage card.
A: Make sure Extended Rom is hidden.
Q: How do I close apps? clicking on "X" only minimizes the apps (LITE ONLY)
A: Press and hold "X" until app closes in Full version. For Lite version, install a task manager. (Recommendation: HTC Task Manager + Task switch combo (included in Full) | WkTask)
Q: How do I get WM5torage to work? I activated the app but nothing happens
A: After activating WM5torage, click on menu -> troubleshooting -> disable both options.
Q: The Rom doesn't look anything like the picture.
A: Chances are you downloaded the Lite Version. Full version is shown in the picture.
Q: After installing HTC Action Screen in the LITE rom, the soft keys still show Contacts/Calendar
A: Change the following registry settings with PHM Registry:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
@="Actions"
"Open"="\Windows\HTCActionScreen.exe"
(113 = Right soft key, 112= Left soft key)
Q: How do I disable Random Access? (Those letters on the right of Contacts)
A: Change the following registry settings with PHM Registry:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
"Open"="\Windows\Contacts"
or Simply uninstall it if you are using the full version. Make sure "end" contacts in memory management before uninstalling.
Q: I am using a different theme in this rom, how can I change Random Access bar color?
A: Copy RS_Bar.png & RS_Ind.png from Windows dir, change the color, and toss them back into Windows
Q: How can I enable startup animation and sound? (NOT Recommended)
A: It is not recommended to enable startup animation and sound as it cripples the phone volume.
Add the following registry keys
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"Volumn"=dword:20
"WAVFile"="\SOURCE DIRECTORY\Startup_sounds.wav"
"GIFFile"="\SOURCE DIRECTORY\HTC.gif"
"Enabled"=dword:1
Source directory = Wherever your files are i.e. Windows, Extended_ROM, an etc
Q: After changing to other themes and going back to K's theme, the theme is no longer black but gray
A: Download the file (BlackGlossyBars.cab) from the archived thread and install it. You will need to do this every time after you changed to other theme. Alternatively, you can change the basehue registry value to 160 using PHM Registry.
Q: How to View/Store Pictures in Storage Card
A: By default, HTC album searches pictures in My Pictures and DCIM folder.
Code:
- Create "My Documents" folder in storage card
- Create "My Pictures" and "My Videos" folders in My Documents
- In the camera, select storage card for default storage location
Pictures taken will be saved in storage card.
Q: How do I get HTC Album to show all pictures
A: Rename My Pictures Folder to something else and HTC Album will show all pictures.
Q: Will you cook in the HTC Album with folder selection option?
A: No. It prompts you to select the folder every time which is a nuisance, and it is buggy.
Q: The rom drains battery quickly!
A: Let the battery fully drain out, then do a full recharge.

Come back in a few hours and it should be up. I need to tidy up the thread first.
Thread looks awesome now, I cannot wait for it...
Great work Kin0kin!!! I know, I know, these "thank you" posts sucks, but only today
Just announced on Czech community forum, advertising must be for this glorious ROM.
Finally, I have to stay awake all night long again for this beast
Great Job, bro ! I think this is the right time to donate

@Kin0Kin
Do you recommend to use the pagepool changer tool to adjust it 6 megs instead of 4 ? Or the 4 megs is enough ?
Thanks
Thanks Kin0Kin for your great ROM!
I have uploaded the 6mbpp version. You can flash whichever you want. Also, if you do not plan on using the auto install feature, take out your storage card and the Rom will complete and reset after installing everything from extended rom.

Is the path 'Storage Card\Cabs\' hardcoded? How does the OS find the config.txt file?
Nice job K. Seems to be hanging in the install of TCPMP, I hard reset and tried again, same thing. I will install the cab manually after a reset.
Edit: Looks like the path is not hard coded hence the hang. Easy fix. Great fast ROM.

My install looked like it hung on TCPMP too, but after much patience, it did finish.
However, I think I mucked up the auto CAB install by not putting the config.txt file in the right spot. Must figure out...
Other thoughts -- I had to download the Connection Setup cab from the 1.30a thread as it's not part of this package? Once I ran that, data connection is config'd correctly (for AT&T/US).
Well Done & Thanks
Kin0kin,
Well done. Just about to install. Hope you took my advice and went out for a beer!
I really do like your work. I thought Schaps was cutting edge but you certainly create some very effective roms. My donation will be with you shortly.
Great job and thanks. Now for god's sake go out; its new year!
WB
BTW, is there any other tool for preparing cabs for auto install other than WinCE cab manager?
Some cabs take longer than the others to install, they will look like they are frozen but they will move after awhile (i.e. htc home). Also, the included TCPMP has a much nicer icon hope you guys like it. I should also change WMP's icon one day.
I'm not sure what else can you use to change the folder path, but if you have trouble changing some of the cabs, you can upload the files here and I'd have them changed. Also, do note that cabs that prompts an option after installation i.e. illumsoft screen capture will not auto install.
Yeah I'm taking a break now
EDIT: keitht, can you post up the fixed tcpmp? my copy works fine, maybe I used another copy from another folder (my pc is like a jungle here!)
Yeah, the TCPMP.CAB is hanging near end of install. As stated, it needs to be unmarked as Read only, tweaked with the WinCE Cab Manager and modified to not allow user to select installation directory, save, then mark as read only again and move to the storage card\cabs to replace original.
EDIT: Kin0kin: I waited about 3 minutes and it was still hung. After making the change above, it flew through the install without the hang. I recommend making this change and repackage the download.
EDIT 2: Attached is the modified CAB
Open.Rom.Diamond.Edition
The First ever MultiLanguage Support NOOB Kitchen.
Now It Cooks you either a German, English or A Dutch Rom without the need of knowing what goes on underneath the cooking hood.
Just Start Cooking Select your Language then Disable or enable the applications you want in the rom and Flash.
For the more experienced Cooks, Package Updates or extra packages are always welcome to be submitted. Place the name into the Package like "PACKAGE_DSIXDA_Mortscript_Screen_Rotate_Simple_0000". You can PM me about it or post directly into the thread.
The Kitchen is Hybrid and i have given no attention to the Build Numbers that you SEE in device information. I only Update Incrementally and only what is needed as long as it's stable i don't care about version numbers Shown, trust me i know what i'm talking about, stop the paranoia.

2. The Kitchen is not set up to use a specific Radio nor do i Advice any as Radio performance can differ from Operator To Operator
A Collection of Radio's can be found in the folder "Tools\Radio's"
3. The Kitchen does not include the OS.NB anymore because it was getting to big. Fortunatly Modilv has the LEGO Kitchen Thread Kitchen Thread Where He Provides two OS.NB versions in his Rapidshare Folder.
Download either the 8MB Pagepool version or the 12MB Pagepool version and then drop the OS.NB into the "\Rom\" folder.
4. The Kitchen has three Language Options to choose from when it Begins.
1 for English (not working yet) 2 for German & 3 For Dutch (Not Working Yet).
5. After Choosing your language Disable or Enable extra options in the BUILDOS screen and then Press Play. If you get errors during this process please post them in this thread. After BUILDOS is finished Close the Build OS window and it will continue do to it's job until the Flash to you phone Screen comes up, so Flash it.
6. Flashing Roms to your phone is always risky, no matter how much precautions i have taken, everything that goes wrong is also your responsibility. If your not that familiar with the process the advice is to not tick OF more then the already preselected options.
If you want the kitchen to keep using your preferred packages you have to edit the Corresponding language file in the Options folder.
If your making an English Rom edit the EN.xml file in notepad.
Look up the option you want preselected in BuildOS (The Kitchen) and change the value from False to True (or the other way around).
Don't forget to also to put True into the correspondant Language Option.
0407 for German 0409 for English 0413 for Dutch.
For German edit the DE.xml and for Dutch NL.xml
Content and Default Options

Q & A
Q: I tried the 'connectionSetupAuto' package and it did nothing - is this package meant to be
used in conjunction with the 'connectionSetup' package? Connection Setup on its own
works fine.
A: PACKAGE_OREE_ConnectionSetup_0000_1_5_34564_2_Auto & PACKAGE_OREE_ConnectionSetup_0000_1_5_34564_2 Need to be installed together to get the Auto part working (sort of)
PACKAGE_OREE_ConnectionSetup_0000_1_5_34564_2
Causes connection setup to run only once after reboot (60 seconds)
PACKAGE_OREE_ConnectionSetup_0000_1_5_34564_2_Auto
Sets it as an Autostart Item that is being run by The Taskmanager and runs whenever you switch the SIM card.
If once is enough, only use the PACKAGE_OREE_ConnectionSetup_0000_1_5_34564_2
(or you can start it manually)
If you switch a lot of Sim Cards and don't mind the extra memory being used at start up leave in the Auto version
Request
Who can help me create a MortScript that reads specific Registry values.
SOLVED thanks to bbobeckyj
Something like these
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MortInstaller\LNK\Reader.lnk]
"SourcePath"="\Windows\AdobeReaderLE.exe"
"TargetPath"="\Windows\Startmenu\Office Mobile\"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MortInstaller\LNK\Calculator.lnk]
"SourcePath"="\Windows\MobileCalculator.exe"
"TargetPath"="\Windows\Startmenu\Office Mobile\"
It then Creates and Executes the Parts below.
Code:
CreateShortcut("\Windows\Startmenu\Office Mobile\Adobe Reader.lnk","\Windows\AdobeReaderLE.exe")
CreateShortcut("\Windows\Startmenu\Office Mobile\Calculator.lnk","\Windows\MobileCalculator.exe")
It's an AutoShortcut/ProvXML/Removeatribute.exe/initflashfiles.dat/Excessive .LNK files in Windows, replacement.
At the moment i put all commands into one start up script, but that makes separate and COMPLETE OEM packages impossible. As disabling one Package in the Kitchen, still leaves the Command in the start up mortscript to create the shortcut.
This is not just for my own convenience, but for building a kitchen that can be used by every NOOB, that contains optimized and clean Packages.
This way i can put the creation of .lnk files into that package it's RGU file.
If it could also unzip and Change attributes through this script using registry values it would even be better.
I know there's someone out there that can cook this one up.
Thanks for the attention at least.
Update:
Script has been adjusted.
It now reacts to if a file is present in Rom and then reacts to that taking into account the MUI localization.
Code:
if (FileExists( "\Windows\RotateScreen.mscr" ))
WriteFile( SystemPath("StartMenu") \ "Rotate Screen.lnk", "99#""\Windows\RotateScreen.mscr""?shellres.192.dll.0413.mui,-8259")
Else
EndIf
Package Submittal
If there's an app or package that you think would be a good one to include in the kitchen you can always submit it.
Here's what you need to take into account.
1. If the package does not need an RGU, you don't need to include it.
2. The RGU and DSM files need to be hand made.
Make a blank .txt file. Go to http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen get a new UID, Rename the text file and extension with the UID number and .dsm extension.
(Ervius Packages sometimes don't work correctly)
Make a blank text file again and rename it to the new UID name and .rgu extension. Make sure you resave the RGU file as Unicode. (that is only if you need the RGU file.
3. When the package is complete. Drop the Package Folder onto the BuildDSM.exe in the tools folder. (be sure that Initflashfiles and option.xml are temporary removed from package when you do this)
Some more explanations about Mortscript installation.
As we try to Use as few as possible files in the rom and also make accommodate with the three language.
The way to create a link to a program has a little trick to it so it installs into the correct directory for the language.
Beneath is an example:
Code:
if (FileExists( "\Windows\StopWatch.exe" ))
if (FileExists( "\Windows\shellres.dll.0413.mui" ))
MkDir(SystemPath("ProgramsMenu") \ "Applicaties")
CreateShortcut(SystemPath("ProgramsMenu") \ "Applicaties\StopWatchk.lnk","\Windows\StopWatch.exe")
Else
EndIf
Else
EndIf
This way it checks for two conditions before it creates a link
As shellres.dll.0413.mui only exists in a Dutch rom this particular shortcut will only be created in a Dutch rom.
Also when a directory does not exist, MORT will not install a link into it.
So i added the MakeDir command first.
Two other variables of the script are needed so it supports German and English.
Now if the file did not need to go into the sub dir Applicaties
One script would do:
Code:
if (FileExists( "\Windows\StopWatch.exe" ))
CreateShortcut(SystemPath("ProgramsMenu") \ "StopWatchk.lnk","\Windows\StopWatch.exe")
Else
EndIf
And only one version of the script would do.
Or the link creation could be more dynamic:
Code:
if (FileExists( "\Windows\YouTube.exe" ))
if (DirExists(SystemPath("ProgramsMenu") \ "MultiMedia" ))
CreateShortcut(SystemPath("ProgramsMenu") \ "MultiMedia\YouTube.lnk","\Windows\YouTube.exe")
Else
CreateShortcut(SystemPath("ProgramsMenu") \ "YouTube.lnk","\Windows\YouTube.exe")
EndIf
Else
EndIf
So if the Folder "MultiMedia" does not exist the shortcut will be made in the main programs folder.
ToDo
1. Check Manila Options (Checked)
2. Check Remote Desktop
3. Fix and put put back main ringtones.
4. Fix Dutch Missed Calls Issue.
5. Fix FullScreen Player. (Checked)
6. Add more configuration scripts.
8. Put back rtps reg values to streaming media and the file itself.

Either use the Full Kitchen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2392286&postcount=3
To extract the OEM/SYS/ROM from an Official Rom.
Then Replace the OEM/SYS/ROM folders in ORDE Kitchen.
Then Compare the differences
The Brilliance of the Kitchen is because of all those other People that have worked on it, i just made it a bit more Noob Proof with some very amateuristic adjustments of the batch files.
Your calculations are correct...

Well it's better then making a WWE Dutch or German ROM.
All the OS parts can be ported from newer WWE builds instead of Porting Localization to a newer WWE build.
Hey for all the people who make this kitchen ..i thank you.
Geat work but now i have to find a way to cook my own favorite programs in the rom.
UC Autorun + The Power of MortScript PreCooked.
Want to Change or add some stuff Through UC Autorun?
Here's a way for the advanced user to do even more.
Code:
CPY1:\Intern geheugen\Cabs\MyMort.mscr
CPY2:\Temp\MyMort.mscr
EXEC:\Temp\MyMort.mscr
Inside the script you can do anything you can do with Mortscript.
For instance copying over a complete Directory to Phone Storage.
Code:
UnzipAll( "\Intern geheugen\Cabs\ExtraTemplates.zip", "\Mijn Documenten\Templates" )
Code:
CreateShortcut("\Windows\Startmenu\Programma's\TomTom.lnk","\Intern geheugen\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe")
As long as you don't forget to delete the script.
Code:
Delete( "\Temp\MyMort.mscr" )

If you still want to update your diamond, they have plenty of threads about it in Raphael or Blackstone sections which are the same builds with different startup.txt
So, I hope you had a good time with my crappy english writing, I wish you all have soon enough a stable every day use Android on Diamond

====================THIS THREAD IS MERELY A READY TO USE PACKAGE=========================
WIKI FOR ANDROID ECLAIR
http://glemsom.anapnea.net/android/htc-msm-android/
Read this also as it seems to answer, comment everything in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5308744&postcount=121
=================================================================================================
you can grab the build of 04 jan 2010 in my 4shared folder: techunter.4shared.com
=================================================================================================
Now a little explanation on how I proceeded:
3ways of doing it:
I/ Compile it yourself
-> not enough time didn't even tried but you can try here
II/ Download latest image
The packs you can have from sites are generally a stable android release. All the zImage and modules on msm-htc-android sites are all development packs, so choose wisely. Last update doesn't mean best update!
Prerequisite: create a dir name (for example) eclair_fs.
You can also put a Light Rom to make it boot faster or THIS ONE from yozgatg
a)===================
get the build package here:
Quoting this post (again its the main post for the Raphael/Blackstone/DIamond):

24.01.10 NEW BUILD STRIPPED
http://htcandroid.xland.cz/XDANDROID.24.01.10.7z
This build is completely stripped and only contains the crucial core files to run Android. All apps are within AndroidApps, so copy over the ones you need. Please read changelog for more details.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
extract all in eclair_fs/ on your hard drive
b)===================
(Optional if your package in a) already has the zImage) get the zImage here:
owziee said:
http://zimages.googlecode.com/svn/autobuild_system/htc-msm-android/
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(autobuild files, thx for posting this!)
you should have something like zImage-modules-DATE_VER.tar
--go to eclair_fs/ and delete the modules-2.6.27-00330-f485082e.tar (name differ with version) and the "zImage" files.
--untar (with winrar or whatever) in your eclair_fs/ the two files.
--rename the zImage.00000000 (figures as the build date) in "zImage" (without quotes).
-- leave the modules-2.6.27-00710-g485083e.tar you have just extracted with the same name.
c)===================
go to eclair_fs/startup-configs and make sure you have a DIAM100.txt (or whatever DIAMx00 you have, retrieve DIAMx00.txt).
*if YES then delete eclair_fs/startup.txt and copy+rename the eclair_fs/startup-configs/DIAM100.txt to eclair_fs/startup.txt.
*if NO then google another package (the one from connect-utb should have one).
d)===================
optional: make your changes in startup.txt
e)===================
delete the data.img file if you have one (when you make changes in your zImage or system.sqsh you have to delete data.img).
f)===================
now your eclair_fs should look like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
g)===================
upload at your formatted Internal storage on your diamond TO THE ROOT (without your subfolder eclair_fs)
h)===================
Some bugs are yet to be resolved so to make sure you won't have to reboot again, make sure under Windows Mobile you have:
-disabled the PinCode
-Enabled the GPRS Connection (it works for me without this step but sometime not)
-disabled the airplane mode (if you activated the GPRS you should't be in this mode ^^
-disable whatever special state you put your phone in.
i)===================
run /InternalStorage/Haret.exe
Format your internal storage once in fat32, you don't need to format it every time you change between build.
III/ Get custom build from Raphael or Blackstone etc...
there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=601751

-If you have a problem with the PINCode being always wrong:
Go into WinMo and disable it.
-If you need your APN Profil:
check on your operator's website in the android page like for HTC Magic. exemple for SFR you can get the settings from sfr.fr under "My account" webpage of via their forum.
-Microphone too low?
known issue, sry.
-My version is too unstable?
download the package from Connect UTB and copy it directly into your storage card. Its the latest stable. The one I posted here is the latest dev.
- OMG where my battery went??
YES battery is the most important issue for now ^^
-Something go badly wrong, like messed up volume button or whatever
HARD RESET (assuming you did saved your contacts what so ever. I highly recommend saving your contacts by Gmail Exchange server (m.google.com) or with MS MyPhone.
jfran said:
I remembered someone asking about getting their outlook contacts onto their device, and noticed that in Contacts there is the option to import/export, so all you need to do is export contacts from Outlook and save the file to your root folder then open contacts in Android and import the csv file.
I came across the ability to program what function the end key can perform the options were along the lines -
1. close program
2. home page
3. close program and home page
4. do nothing
however, I cant seem to find the option and I am not sure if it was an application I was using or a setting function??? Anyone came across this?
Update The setting is in the Spare Parts App

yes, it works...you just have to change the startup file acording to your device.
There is already a startup file for the diamond. This works very well
Dont expect it to be a complete replacement for windows just yet. GPS and Camera do not work but thats minor.
Is it possible to have Swedish keyboard?
Comments from testing?
Android not booting
Android does not boot on my device.It says "failed to find system.img on sdcard".Though a system.sqsh file is present in internal storage.I renamed it to system.img then too it fails with same error message.
interesting, anyone tested?
how about it's performance? smoother than windows 6.5?
mod please delete for double post...
Comments:
Best try for yourself. I found it to be a little annoying to use (much like most Linux machines i've used before). It sometimes seems a little laggy, and I couldnt work out how to turn my phone off since the power button just brings up a menu. Also my phone kept locking and I had to fiddle to get it unlocked again.
I'm not exactly sure how it runs on the phone. If it runs on top of my current rom then my experiences could be down to lack of RAM. When I did a soft reset my Windows ROM booted up and I've been using that until I can get a chance to play again.
Also, I am on O2 UK. I must need to get my 3G settings from somewhere because I couldnt get on the internet under linux.
I will definately be playing some more and will see about using it as a propper phone OS, once I get my contacts on my sim, and I get WWW working. It's very good IMO
It works god but it needs more work. there are problems to get GPRS to work
One good thing is that after a reboot it boots on WM, so you could try android and have your Windows back after a reboot =)
Can't get SMS to work, tried ATcommander.
dieselboy : To turn off the phone, just hold the End button.
so i got it on my diamond and it works rly fine!
is there any way to include htc sense in the android?
It doesn't boot with me.
I use a custom WM6.1 ROM (AZTOR WWE).
I copied all files and updates to the internal storage.
When I start HaRET from the explorer it shows a progressbar saying:
HaRET: Booting Linux ...
on the bottom of my screen is a second titlebar (from Windows) that shows me a Windows Start button, the text 'HaRET Version...' , a keyboard and all the icons I have in my titlebar (reception, volume, 3G icon...)
The progressbar doesn't get past (about) 95% and then everything freezes.
Anyone any idea? Do I need to stop TouchFlo or something?
GPRS and WIFI are unable to work.
Hang on a moment.
So this is now working in the sense that I can make a call and the microphone and ear piece now work?
I tried Android a few months ago and the only benefit I could see was that it ran and loaded but none of the phone hadrware was usable or a ***** to get gprs working.

So far I've figured out that the End Key is the power button; it puts it to sleep (which takes a while to wake up from).
The power button is Home or whatever it's called on Android; it takes you to the desktop.
Home key is menu button and is used to unlock, you can wake the phone up with either power button or menu button but then menu to unlock, sometimes you have to press it a couple of times.
Call button still seems to be call; it brings up the call log from the desktop.
I'm liking what I've seen so far; it's very intuitive. I haven't got 3G internet working though :-(.
API Demos
The simple bitmap ones work but Opengl ones just make the phone crash.
I can't wait to see this on a phone with the Tegra chip on.
Don't understand why When I set the sound to Vibrate. Bejewed still plays sound. It's Cool though
I accidentally started the Voice dialler which also crashed but it's cool. GPRS Data is working
WPA2 Wifi cool!
Gyro Sensors working

It works god but it needs more work. there are problems to get GPRS to work
One good thing is that after a reboot it boots on WM, so you could try android and have your Windows back after a reboot =)
Can't get SMS to work, tried ATcommander.
dieselboy : To turn off the phone, just hold the End button.

[MOD][23MAR10][v1.0][SENSE2.5TAB] Basic Facebook Tab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651007
Thread Quicklinks:
2.5.192x issue and ROMs with older facebook engine...
v1.5 Released, v2.0 Development starts here [Post#361+]
v1.5 Beta Testing details start here [Post#133+]
Information for v1.5 language files & beta drafts [Post#109+]
I'll fill in more detail here when we start doing development work.
I've placed an OLD release into the groups 4shared directory, in the projects folder.
http://manila.4shared.com
Also my tutorial (which is more a notepad at the moment) is here:
TUT Manila Tutorial 4 - Placeholder/Facebook Tab
Setup Instructions
Setup Instructions (roughly):
1. Use the Command Line Kitchen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528548).
2. Recommend 1st copying ALL xxxxxxxx_manila files from your windows dir (keep a copy as backup too), and decompile them all using the kitchen.
3. Rename the Workspace to something else (i.e. Workspace_complete), you can use this now as reference!
4. Start again with the manila files you want to work on, you now have your "working" folder of lauc files etc.
5. Make use of the manilaHASH to convert between filenames and internal path/file references (recommend you keep a list of ones you find, you'll be surprised how useful it can be).
For editing, Programmer's Notepad is excellent, you can save your workspace, highlight the files for lauc and xml and also use the "find in files" search to find stuff in your "Workspace_complete" folder.

Temp Location for the stuff moved off the main thread (this post can them be referred to if the info is important):
MAIN THREAD POST #1:
-----
The stuff below will get replaced when the next version is released...
-----
This is my facebook tab, the project is a learning project, it will also have a supporting tutorial with full details of how it is built.
By it's nature the intention is it is freely available and totally open.
Before people ask, no I can't do comments, pokes, likes, notifications etc etc, I am cheating here and borrowing HTC function/pages and only changing what I have to, to obtain the function needed.
I shall attempt to add some more function soon, will be linking in with a exe which will hopefully talk to the facebook api. At the moment I am unsure how successful this will be, also what to do about facebook requiring an account to be linked with the app and how to keep multi-language support. This will become clearer as I work on it.
Also, as I start to adjust things to suit my changes, I expect to break a few things too, this will be because I don't always see the full range of HTC functionality as I test (i.e. Events etc).
Hopefully it does enough to keep everyone happy. I shall try to document the creation of the tab, but at the moment development work is 1st.
HTC has put in as much more functionality than I thought (I keep seeing new parts to it), but they also did a good job of hiding it!
Personally I think there are some excellent features and credit goes to the poor soul who got told it couldn't be a tab (this is for you and your hard work!).
Please understand, currently ALL the facebook function is by HTC, all the integration is by HTC. The MOD moves the tab and formats it to look nice and also adds some small features which I wanted (I wanted to do more but everyone was keen to have it too!). Formatting and the extras is what takes the time. If you see the 192X basic "basic tab" a simple move of the tab is a 5 min job!
I'm planning to do at least one update to this to add the bits I couldn't get going in time, plus to make it easier to configure via the settings instead of the registry. After that, I'll release a dev pack and facebok api could be added etc on top (but again must be a matter of time before we get an official one).

Details for v1.01 (to be removed later)
-----------------------------------------
Settings are all via the registry (for now). The "Download Data Automatically" etc in the settings subpage runs independently of the Automatic Update Period.
Registry Settings
Change these registry keys to change how it works.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Facebook.LaunchAppSel"=dword:1
Number added to Facebook.LaunchApp to determine which app is launched (entry must exist)
"Facebook.LaunchAppName0"="MS Facebook App"
"Facebook.LaunchApp0"="\\Windows\\Facebook.exe"
Path and filename of app, note \\ should be used in *.reg file to put \. Within the registry this will read as "\Windows\Facebook.exe"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgs0"=""
Added to the end of the application call if required
"Facebook.LaunchAppName1"="Facebook IM App"
"Facebook.LaunchApp1"="\\Storage Card\\Program Files\\fim\\fim.exe"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgs1"=""
2nd optional application. You can add any number of others at the moment.
"Facebook.LaunchWebSel"=dword:0
Same as "Facebook.LaunchAppSel" but for the web launch
"Facebook.LaunchWebName0"="Mobile Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb0"="m.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs0"=""
"Facebook.LaunchWebName1"="iPhone Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb1"="touch.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs1"=""
"Facebook.LaunchWebName2"="Desktop Facebook"
"Facebook.LaunchWeb2"="www.facebook.com/"
"Facebook.LaunchWebArgs2"=""
Same as "Facebook.LaunchApp#" but for the web launch
"Facebook.LastUpdateTime"=""
"Facebook.LastUpdateDate"=""
Stores the last update time/date used in the display, set by the program.
"Facebook.MyStatus"=""
Copy of your status text, set by the program, if its working ok
"Facebook.MyStatusExe"="\\Windows\\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
"Facebook.MyStatusScript"=""
Used to copy registry entry of My Status into the above key. Note: If you set Facebook.MyStatusExe blank, it won't try to update.
"Facebook.AutoUpdateInterval"=dword:0
Time in minutes between automatic updates. I think only runs when within the tab, set to 0 will disable automatic update (although independent of the 2 hour update on the settings page).
FAQ
Launch App/Web does not work (i.e. I get a Certificate error)
Chances are, you need to adjust the registry setting to point the selected application to the location where it is installed (or ensure you have the app installed).
Please see Agent Zach's guide here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6247589&postcount=470
Why do we need FacebookStatusUpdate.exe (or originally mortscript) and what does it do?
It's a limitation of what is in manila, you can only read from "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila", unless you are only after a int value.
All the script does (or exe), is the following:
Code:
RegReadString("HKLM", "Software\HTC\FacebookSDK","Status",myStoredStatus)
RegWriteString("HKCU","Software\HTC\Manila","Facebook.MyStatus",myStoredStatus)
There may be a work around, but it would take a lot of time to test for something so simple.

All-In-One Cab Install Instructions
Warnings etc
Modifying manila means various levels of messing around with the files on the device so, as with most of the mods on here, back-up often and be prepared to screw it up and hard-reset your device. All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
Instructions:
1) Ensure you have moved your tabs around at least once, via Settings Tab, this ensures the correct registry keys are present used by the cab install.
2) Run the cab and Install to Device (attached to first post).
3) Copy any language files which are missing if you need them into the windows directory (some are included).
4) If this does not work, then don't un-install, but follow the manual install instructions (ensure you copy all the files from the zip as instructed).
You don't even have to disable Sense first or anything. It'll do that, and re-start Sense for you. It's recommended to install it after a fresh hard reset for best results, but it may still work without doing so.
Thanks to Captain_Throwback for creating the cab and johncmolyneux for creating the executable that adds the correct info to the tab control file automatically so that the install is fully automated.
Please report any issues you have with the install here, so that we can try to fix them.
All-In-One Cab Uninstall Instructions
Will update soon, with precise details:
1. Replace the 26948339_manila file in your windows directory with the backup version made by the cab also in windows.
2. Then perform 5. Reset Manila as described in the manual install steps.
Note: Until this is updated, and you are not confident, you can simply disable the tab via Settings, Home Screen Tabs!

Manila Sense Fix - Sense is not starting after install/uninstall
If you run into problems with Sense not starting then there are two things you can do.
1. Run moonnah's B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab from the following thread (this should fix any problems with your tab control file):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116
2. Post your tab control file (26948339_manila) on the thread and we shall correct any problems and repost it.
The next release of All-In-One cab will hopefully run the FixStartManila for you so this issue will hopefully be fixed.
[USE ALL-IN-ONE CAB INSTEAD] Captain_Throwback's OLD Cab Install Instructions
I've just kept this section for now, until we are happy the all-in-one cab does what it needs to do. Let me know if you still have to use this method.
Note: 1084 views on this cab now - will monitor for use. OK removed the attached cab to avoid confusion.

Captain_Throwback Post here
NOTE: This cab does NOT include the tab control file (26948339_manila). Because everyone's set of tabs is different, each will need to be edited individually, per the instructions HERE. The edited file should be copied AFTER the CAB is installed. The install will make a backup of your original file called "26948339_manila_orig", if you have issues with the edited file.
Instructions:
1) Install CAB (attached to this post)
2) Verify that Sense is disabled in Today items once install is complete.
3) Copy edited tab control file (26948339_manila) to \Windows folder on device. Confirm overwrite of existing file.
Either get your tab control file (26948339_manila) from \Windows folder and edit it yourself or use a pre-written one which matches all the tabs orginally listed in your Settings Tab (where you re-order the tabs).
Edit your 26948339_manila file from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):
Code:
<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
4) Re-enable Sense in Today items.
Manual Install Instructions (for use with the zip files)
Scott8813 has kindly provided a detailed tutorial on how to add the tab, so if you need more detail then please refer to this.

All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
The files may be hidden system files (may need to enable viewing of system hidden files to find them)
Keep an original copy of your 26948339_manila file, particularly if you use a cab to install
If the tab doesn't work you can use it to restore things back (just do step 5)
1. Copy 26948339_manila from your \windows\ directory to your PC.
2. Copy all the files in the zip file \windows\ directory to your devices \windows\ directory.
3. Import the registry items from the "appFacebook.reg" file into your devices registry.
This will add new entries "Facebook.XXX" to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila"
4. Create your Tab Control File:
Edit your 26948339_manila file from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):

<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
5. Reset Manila:
a) Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
b) Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Alternative exe instead of mortscript (old zip version v1.0 23Mar10 ReleaseB):
Use the exe from FacebookStatusUpdate.zip and place in your windows folder (doesn't matter where, as long as you link correctly).
Change reg file to:
"Facebook.MyStatusExe"="\\Windows\\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
"Facebook.MyStatusScript"=""
Or directly in reg:
Facebook.MyStatusExe = "\Windows\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe"
Facebook.MyStatusScript =""

No problem.
Gives me somewhere to write what I am up to without spamming my own thread too.
1. Currently I'm working on different views of the main page.
It's hard to see how events will be displayed since no-one I know uses them (how do they appear normally? Are they part of the individual status items?) Also, unable to change "Has Multiple Updates" to display the status and updated album message when there is more space, not a major issue. I'll post some screens at some-point.
2. Will then start to work on tying things into an exe which I can then experiment with the facebook api without having to wrestle with manila, plus for now I will put the tab specific settings page in it too (makes little difference visually to a manila sub-page, except I'm not sure how to pull in the translations for multi-lang).
3. Also starting to look at .\Scripts\People\peopleUpdateViewPage.luac 285D32BC_manila which is the more detailed tab when you select someone, but it's not fully decompiled so I've not tried changing it yet. Ideally I can put more info/options within this page when the fb api is functional.
4. Need to finish off the update timer, should be able to look at the time of the last update and update immediately even if you've just entered the tab. Currently it just waits for the update period, which only happens if the tab is open.
5. Need to put another text object on the main page for each fb item, hopefully for use with the fb api.
damn,i can't open that m9editor. if i'll not find other possibilities i'll have to run an xp-mode VM. i only managed to convert the 59B632C0_manila file to xml with mode9converter but it gives me an error when i try to convert back to mode9.
meltwater, please just edit it this way from "icon_off" to "icon_on" and attach me the edited manila file,i'll try to do the rest. thanks!

Looks like the right change, although will see what it does on my phone...ok doesn't break it which is good.
Now just need to get my hands on a full version of visual studio...
IT WORKS!
great we found the right reference,which results in:
1F04C842_manila \windows\htc\Assets\Images\Manila\icon_on\Facebook_tray.qtc
--
do you think the 357374E7_manila file is needed? it does not show anywhere..
--
i attached the right 1F04C842_manila file. now you can use it with your corrected 59B632C0_manila to have separated split icon on/icon off.
the "icon on" should be hi-res 16bpp and "icon off" 8bpp but cfc_gui did'em both at 8bpp not a big deal tho,and easily correctable.
i'm happy for my little contribution,now i have to research that last missing "rearrange tab" icon

Ok, will try it out on my phone too. Donno about the 8bpp and cfc'ing can't remember what my originals were like.
Good luck with the "rearrange tab" I think the key is to find what the reference path/name is, either from the filenames or from the mode9 file whichever that one is.
Oddly, I've found it hard to find the colour settings for the title when in landscape mode, all the colours are in the mode9 file (but not that one it seems - changed all from R0G0B0 but it is still black...):
51B6F88A_manila \windows\htc\people\facebook.mode9
It might be using the theme colours instead (remember it was a sub-page so black is default), only found them yesterday so will chase that route 1st.
Been thinking about how to do the first page interface (depending on the fb api success of course). I think, ideally we want to drop the link to the People Tab sub-page and drive everything within the main tab page (ideally storing it's state if you leave the tab). It should then allow you to select someone, and the item expand, again you view comments etc, select them again and you get options to comment/like etc. Easy to suggest, but not anywhere near being able to do that within the manila yet, a nice aim though.
One issue I do see ahead is updating the information/storing it all, do we pick up live data when we open views (unlikely to be smooth) or attempt to download everything we need in one burst and store it away (I guess you could then open wifi, download and close wifi again...in theroy). Ideally we could use the same storage as the fbmgr uses, but I doubt that is accessible so may need duplicated info.

there are no direct references,or at least i did not find'em yet. unfortunately the other tabs' manila icon files don't have a group,they're "unknown" on cfc_gui. it was easier with slider and tab icons as they were in manila names.txt list. i found some interesting file this nite but it was late so i left some work for this evening

One issue I do see ahead is updating the information/storing it all, do we pick up live data when we open views (unlikely to be smooth) or attempt to download everything we need in one burst and store it away (I guess you could then open wifi, download and close wifi again...in theroy).

that becomes a tad difficult to understand to me,sorry hope some skilled user will help you more with that. very curious to see what's possible to achieve with the facebook api tho.

there are no direct references,or at least i did not find'em yet. unfortunately the other tabs' manila icon files don't have a group,they're "unknown" on cfc_gui. it was easier with slider and tab icons as they were in manila names.txt list. i found some interesting file this nite but it was late so i left some work for this evening

Ah, my background is black so I assumed it was just black too. Ok, will rethink that then. Maybe just a case of setting it visible...at the right point..at the right time. No logical reason why it's on the people tab but not this one, same code. Not too bothered about it yet.

I've found the editing of the gui the hardest so far, mainly because you can't see until you try but also if it doesn't like it, it gives up and moves on (so you can't even see where it was wrong). Still what started out as a little experiment on my part has already opened up a lot of what can be done. The Custom Manila Interface Tab is still a long term goal.
MS don't make it very easy to develop on windows mobile, they still don't have support for it in Visual Studio 2010 Express. I think I'll go for a trail version to get me started and then switch to non-MS solution once I'm happier. It's all new to me but keen to pick this up too.
Hi meltwater and etoy,
it is a help when i testing something too, because i was working also for that issue and i have found the same thing as you two. Strange, three people with the same thoughts. Not easy to find....
Ask me and will help. BTW, this is the dutch language file. I working on it, but a lot of translation:
6CD727C8_manila \windows\htc\people\locales\nl-nl\facebook.nl-nl.xml

You can get most of it from:
\windows\htc\people\locales\nl-nl\peopleupdate.nl-nl.xml
35DC316_manila
Probably a little late to point that out...
All help is welcome. There should be a lot more as I implement more, but fixing the little bugs is very helpful.
It will get difficult to manage changes as we all get deeper into it, but at least the more we change the more files and area's of functionality there is to work on, so hopefully it will be possible.

Have you can say it 5 minuts earlier? Thanks for the info but that was also my thought to take some things that are allways done .

10 Donno yet! What can you do / what do you want to do?
20 the source "is" the manila files (although I've started putting comments in my latest files - so will have source versions for later builds), you need to install the command line kitchen and decompile it (see the rough tips on this threads post #2).
30 go for it - ask away
40 Compile, reset manila. Bang head on table. Goto 10
At the moment, I've started working on the supporting exe which will handle the facebook api and settings etc, but I'm a beginner with windows mobile development so it'll take some time before I am up to speed with that and have something worth sharing (oh plus day job...).

Thank you for your great mod. I finally investigate the name of file "icon in rearrange tab". The name must be 6BEE887F_manila. Hope it helps you.

OK, looks like we have another fix!
Ok, so I tried this . . .
I used my CFC graphics files, and replaced them in the All-in-One CAB. I replaced the updated file from the first page that had the updated mode9(?) code, and I copied the manila file and pasted it as "6BEE887F_manila" (I retained the original file some said 'wasn't needed' anyway). I now have the icon in the Customize tabs screen, but I'm missing the icon when the tab is selected. Is it because I didn't delete the "357374E7_manila" file? Is it just me that has this issue? The icon is there when the tab is not selected, and the large version is fine. That's the only one that's missing now (and previously, it was fine ).

Don't delete 357374E7_manila, it's slider icon. Just create 6BEE887F_manila from scratch or using existing files from rearrange tab.

So I can't copy "357374E7_manila" and paste as "6BEE887F_manila" (that's what I did - I didn't delete any files)? That doesn't explain why my slider icon is missing when the tab is selected ?
