Does anyone know how to remap the IE button (T-zones) with the HTC rom? I've searched but I can only find info for the T-mobiel rom. The HTC rom doesn't seem to have the lnk files. Thanks.

Worked perfectly, thank you.
Editing the file
Hello, I want to be able to do this but not sure how to edit the file as it has no file extension.
Also, I would like to launch opera mini but its a java midlet so unsure how to reference it directly like you would do a programme.
Any thoughts?
Thank you!
Totally stuck
Hi guys,
I am totally lost here. I kindda understand what the Wiki explains but to use it I get stuck. I am completely new to this whole business. bought a used blue angel (everything working on it) with a WM 2003 on it italian language. all I wanted was to swith from italian to english (or WWE as you guys call it). I do know that my ROm is 1.12.24 ITA Radio 1.03 and no value for extRom. that is what it showed when I tried to use one of the numerous updates available on XDA. first it showed me error 102 checksum error then country ID error. so I used the Ruu file and added the Checkceid_1 command as u suggested on wiki for blue angel. anyway I am stuck. now even the WM2003 italian is no longer available since I hard-reseted my BA. all I see now on the screen is windows mobile with some italian gibberish under it.
Serious help needed please.
Thank you

Hi, the zip file only includes a link and not the file itself.
Jonathan
Copy the link to the Windows directory on your phone. This will make the IE button bring up the Task Manager. If you want it to execute something else, edit the link. I used Total Commander for the editing.
Thank you sesinger

Hello everybody,
I've figured a few things out regarding JBed and Opera Mini on Kavana's latest WM6.1 ROM, and I thought I'd share them with you.
Introduction
First off, a quick introduction: Opera Mini 4, a Java MIDlet web browser, is arguably the best browser available for Windows Mobile. It routes traffic through Opera servers, so it doesn't take as much data (or time) to browse the Web, and it has small-screen rendering like iPhone's. Slashdot, for example, loads in seconds under OM, as opposed to half an hour in Pocket IE. Esmertec JBed respects the system's network settings, so it works with the T-Zones $5.99 internet trick.
JBed isn't perfect, though. It has a few glaring issues: network access permissions, inability to use a MIDlet as a systemwide default browser, and ugly fonts. I haven't figured out the last one yet, but the first two are solvable, and here's how.
Network Access Permissions
Most tutorials for fixing this problem refer to the file \Windows\AppDB\Selector.utf; editing this file and replacing the text
Code:
domain=untrusted, \
with
Code:
domain=tckmax , \
fixes the problem under Cloudyfa's JBed. The version of JBed in Kavana's WM6.1 stores its data in \Application Data\JavaDB, and the selector.utf trick doesn't work. The culprit is a missing file named policy.utf, which defines tckmax. I've attached a copy of this file; just move it to your \Application Data\JavaDB directory and the selector.utf trick will work as usual.
Systemwide Default Browser
First off, you can make it easier to access Opera Mini by changing the short_IE.lnk file to open OM instead of PIE. I've attached a version of that file for your convenience; copy it to your \Windows directory and the IE (or T-Zones) button will open a usable browser for a change. This only works if OM is the first MIDlet you've installed; if you have installed other MIDlets you'll have to edit the shortcut (Notepad works nicely) to reflect the change. If OM is your second MIDlet, change s0_ to s1_; third, s2_; and so on.
Also, various MortScript scripts have been floating around that attempt to automate the process of copying a clicked link to the system clipboard, opening OM, and pasting the link into the address bar. I haven't found one that works, but a much better solution is available. The linked post contains a CAB file (which I've reposted here for convenience) that installs an actual application that works well under WM6.1. This one is hardcoded with the assumption that Opera Mini is the first MIDlet that you've installed.
One Other Thing
I recommend backing up your \Application Data\JavaDB directory once you get everything working; you can simply copy it back from your backup after a cold boot to get everything working again. I don't know how to make a CAB file myself, but if someone is up to the challenge, I'd suggest making a single file that installs Opera Mini and the Opera Mini Default Browser application, and optionally replaces the PIE button with OM. Or maybe Kavana can add this to his next ROM
Hope you find this useful!
EDIT: The application I've attached only works if Opera Mini is the first application ever installed under JBed. If you uninstall it and reinstall it, it will get a new suite number. You can look at your selector.utf file and figure out your suite number (e.g., s1_), but I would recommend clearing out your \Application Data\JavaDB folder to reset your suite numbers. Also, it may be a bad idea to edit your selector.utf file in Notepad; a hex editor should avoid corruption issues.

awesome! thanks!
very useful, thanks!
Great Job!!
How do you tell what the s number is for the OM midlet?
When I press the short key cut key I get a "Could not find suite s0_" error message. When I dismiss the message I get the jbed midlet manager window which list Opera Mini and it's the only applet listed. I click on that and Opera Mini opens up.
Perfect, the policy.utf file did the trick. I'm not so sure that I want to replace the iexplore shortcut to OM because there are still some limits to the OM applet over PIE. OM can't launch youtube for example.
Thank you ... thank you - Tim

Kinda bummed.... I cant seem to get this to work. Everytime I edit selector.utf with the new code, my opera midlet dissappears. I have policy.utf in the directory so I am at a loss. ???
Works great on my system - many thanks for this!

I had the same problem. I was using notepad to edit selector.utf which I guess is bad. Try using a hex editor or run this script. http://treo.discussion.treocentral.com/tcforum/showthread.php?t=152078

Yes, it will depend on how many java programs you installed before so that you can get an accurate count.

Opera is the only java app that I have installed and I still get the error, however, I have installed and uninstalled a few times... so I think there may be .db remnants that force it further down the "install list" e.g. s2_
edit: just had to clean up \\application data\javaDB, works fine
Hi all,
Glad I was able to help. I added a bit of information to my original post; I recommend starting with a blank slate, so to speak, because OperaDefault.cab is programmed with that assumption. When in doubt about your suite number, and if you don't care about OperaDefault, then you can look in (or post) your selector.utf file and get it from there.

Esmertec jbed
Can someone point me to forum where i can get esmertec jbed?
I'm looking for a couple of hours already.
Please help....
Having a very strange problem with Opera Mini 4. I'm using Ricky's Rom V5 with my Dash and Opera will not display fonts correctly. They all seem to have horizontal lines going through them and appear to be slightly stretched (that could be my imagination though). I checked the Jbed version and it appears to be the latest one (I never changed it) and I'm not sure where to go from here. Opera boots and runs fast but it's not legible at all. Any suggestions as to what I can try? I searched XDA but couldn't come up with anything. Thanks,

NOT TRUE.
I tried to use from s0_ to s4_, nothing worked....
Untill i opened my selector.utf(windows\appdb) and seen that gMail is "root=s-1_", so i've change my shortcut to point to "s-1_", this did the trick.
Thanx.
First of all, thank you VERY much to everyone who has contributed to the 6.1 ROM including Rickwyatt, Kavana, NRGZ28, etc. I cannot believe how much better my Dash is with this ROM! I am using v15 of the ROM.
I have been trying to find the .exe files for a few applications in the ROM so I can link to them using oldSAP favorites to my CApps carousel. I have set Resco Explorer to view all files, including those in ROM.
Voice Notes
Resco Registry Editor
ActiveSync
I searched all through the \Windows directory and couldn't find them. I also searched everywhere else on the device to see if I could find them. They appear in the Start Menu and they work fine, I just can't find the .exe files.
Also, is it possible to change the icon that displays on the home screen for the "My Programs" carousel? All the other icons are white outlines until selected, but on mine the icon is full color.
Any help would be appreciated! Again, thanks for all the hard work on this ROM!
..
Browse to the start menu folder with your computer, and open the shortcuts with notepad.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I did that and I see something like this:
10#:MSSYNCAPP?:syncapp
I'm assuming that if I type in :MSSYNCAPP that oldSAP Favorites will launch the app (in this case ActiveSync).
Some of the other ones were more complex such as:
1#\windows\sktstart.exe #AUTO#?\Storage Card\Program Files\SKKV Software\SKTools Standard\sktools.exe,-222
Again, I'm hoping that if I input everything starting with \windows that oldSAP will launch it.
Thanks for your help!
Hi Guys,
the new opera beta browser damaged my default opera browser which i liked more than the beta version.
Can you help where to download a non-trial version of the default opera browser without installing a new rom on my x1?
thx
Uninstall Opera from "Settings->System->Remove Programs"
Delete all "Opera" folders from "Application Data" folder.
(Using File Explorer, or any other file manager of your preference. You may have more then one, including but not limited to "Opera", "Opera9", "Opera 9.5 Beta".)
Delete HKLM/Software/Opera from the registry.
(There are many many registry editors out there, take your pick)
click on WM6.1_PPC_dawn_Opera_2532_signed.cab from File Explorer in "Windows" folder.
(Or from any other file manager of your preference, or executing/running/installing it with any other method of your preference. e.g. cab installers etc etc.)
Now you will have the default Opera with its' default settings like the way it first came with your Xperia.

maybe it needs certs to be installed.
And how can i do that?
Got the same problem and i have certs installed.
I'm having the same problem creating a CAB for my WM6.1 ROM.
The main reason why I want this v2.6.x version to work is that it starts YouTube movies right after you hit a link inside Opera. The 2.5 version CAB does work on my TouchPro2 but does not open the YouTube link. Instead it opens the program and I have to search for a video to view it.
What did I find out so far?
The following file causes the install problem: ProtocolHandler.dll
After you remove this file from the CAB it installs just fine. But the program still doesn't run on my device.
I manually imported all retificates and when I try to start YouTube it shows: " 'YouTube' is not a valid Pocket PC application."
I copied the files myself to the phone memory and imported the registry entries but when i tried to open the *.exe i got the same message.
Where did you find the version 2.5 cab?
I created it myself as it is part of the User Customization of my Cosmik Debris ROM.
Could you upload it?
Here you go....
How can i sign the YouTube.exe with another certificate or none for that matter? Or how can i import HTC certificate?
On 2.6 I used the .CER files from a Kitchen I use. I justed put them on my device and opened them using TotalCommander.
For 2.5 this probably is not nescacary for me since the files are from the Kitchen I use for my ROM. I do have to say that I only use optimized CAB's that work with my Cosmik Derbis ROM. Reason is that my ROM is compressed and stript from a lot of stuff I never use. Therefore I can not guarantee that the CAB wil work on other WVGA devices.
Is this a right place for youtube application, XPERIA X1 ROM Development !!??
No it's not...
How can I open a special YouTube video (with url) with the original HTC YouTube Player 2.6? What is the url parameter? How can I add the "?v=xxx" parameter to the player?
I used a program called Unsigner (and batchUnsign) to remove the certificates from all files but i still get the message:
''The file 'YouTube' cannot be opened.
Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate,
or one of its components cannot be found.
If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.''
So i believe that something is missing from my ROM.
Are any other files needed?
