Hey all,
I've really been trying to find a solution to this and searched a lot. I think it has something to do with the USER AGENT thing, and changing the registry, but I can't get it to work.
So PIE loads all pictures on the phone, automatically squishing it or formatting it for the hermes screen resolution. That's fine, but when I save the image, it ONLY saves it at that small, pixilated crappy resolution. I can't zoom the picture.
I think this is somehow linked to the whole "can't post on myspace" thing, because I can't post on myspace either haha.
I'm using the Black 2.5 right now, but tried Custel's 1.2 and had the same issue. When I used Black 1.2 or 2.0 it was NOT an issue.
This happens whether or not I use PIE Plus.
I know where the information is on the WIKI showing the reg edit to change the user agent so the web thinks you're using a regular desktop browser, and PIE Plus has this option to change in it's options as well, but it's not doing it.
Is there some other registry key or whatever that i'm missing that tells the internet how to format its information?
Again, I searched and looked and tried and hacked and regged haha, but did not find a definitive answer to this. MUST POST TO MYSPACE ON MY PHONE!!!!
Thanks.
anyone? i'm willing to donate some moolah... i need to figure this out before i hack back down to 1.2

thanks. i don't like opera though. the scroll bar on the right doesn't work at all and i don't like the interface.
the only reason i'm persistent here is because it actually WORKED at one time with no problems! all i did was change the user agent in the reg and it worked after i set it to make the net think it was windows xp.
but on these latest roms, it doesn't work.
i know there has to be a solution here.
thanks though!

scroll bar doesn't work? which version were you using? Also have you tried minimo? Not a fan of it personally but might work for your needs?
minislo is too mo... I mean... yeah.
I bumped back down to black 2.0 and PIE is perfect! man I may have to stay here
there's gotta be a reason it works here and not higher...
sorry to up my own thread,
but with black 3.5 now, the myspace posting works, and gifs work...
but jpegs still display as formatted to the screen size, and when saving the images, they are much smaller in file size and resolution.
for example, a normally 111kb file is only 25k when saved.
there has to be a definitive answer to this!! and i can't be the only one trying to look at po... uh, pictures and they don't display well.
I've noticed this behavior when I have the Cingular proxy enabled. My understanding is the proxy compresses images in order to speed up load times. Once disabled, images appear, and can be saved, as they should be.
Perhaps you have a carrier proxy enabled?
ugh... n00b question of the millenium
how do i disable the cingular proxy from black dymond?
well i just got back into the dash game after not having a dash for what seemed like forever. and i guess i figured i would just remember everything i knew before...well i was wrong so here goes with the noob questions
1. i checked the chome config thread and i figured this question would have been on there for the noobs. how do i edit the myfaves panel. i wanna add a contact. i go into the config program and i know im supposed to add something to the action url but im not sure what. i tried ...exe;last, first and got nothing. what am i supposed to add there? and same for the sms soft key. i remember using total commander but i dont remember much about it.
2. this may seem silly but how do i edit all the icons on all the panels? like the ones for the clock panel and stuff? i go into the reg and try to edit the icon path but get nothing. and it confused me cause the default was 5021;5021 or something like that. how do i change them with my own .png files?
sorry

First off , welcome back to the dash!
Now to edit the my faves panel if I remember correctly, on the actual my faves panel, scrool right to page 6 and that should be the settings for my faves, and you should be able to edit them there.
Now to edit the icons on the panels , you have to edit the bronzeres.dll file on your windows directory, you need a program on your pc to view and edit .exe's and 'dll's (extension files) like PE Explorer. I can do this for you if you want, pm me if you want me to and I'll give you more details.
You can also check my new theme for dash using new WM 6.5 on my signature below.
glad you didnt flame me for the silly questions. i figured out how to add the contacts last night like 30 minutes after i posted that. i didnt realize it was as simple as just adding the phone number to the action url. i was ready to go in with total commander and so some serious work lol.
ill take a gander at your 6.5 theme, i got the 6.5 wait cursor and i like the look of that. and ill look into the PE to edit the .dll files.
thanks for the help!!

Hi Guys, my first post here.
Just wanna say thanks to all the contributors/posters and this is the best forum for touchpro 2 configuration.
Last night, i spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to configure the Internet Tab on the Tmobile TP2.
After hours of searching through the forums, i finally figure out what needs to be done. However, i bet alot of people have trouble looking for these links.
So i decided to put all i had learnt in one thread and hope everyone can follow this.
Unfortunately due to me dozing off and my pc shutting off, i was unable to save all the posts and their contributors, so I apologize for not giving any credit but I assure you that i am not taking any credit for this post.
All Tmobile TP2s comes loaded with IE and Opera. I prefer Opera myself and I want Internet Tab to launch everything in Opera.
This is what i did...
1) Download Registry Editor (you can google it or go to this linklink
2) (this was quoted from the thread)
navigate to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila
change value in DefaultBrowserIsIE from "1" to "0"
change value in Internet.SetOperaForeground from "0" to "1"
Registry Edit tutorial thread
For Internet Tab Configuration.
This was a little tricky for me, but looking through the posts helped clued me in on what to do.
1)You need to find a xml file located in the following:-
\Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-en-us.xml
Some people may able to edit this file on their phone, but i prefer to make a copy and put it on my pc so that i have a few backups.
2)Make sure that the Readonly option has been unchecked for this file.
3) You will see the following when you first open the file for edit. (use notepad)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>
<Banner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
Text="Launch Browser"
NavigateUrl="http://m.web2go.com"
UrlText="web2go"
Width="480"
Height="215" />
<OperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />
<Link
Text="CNN"
NavigateUrl="http://tmobile.cnn.mlogic.mobi"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
<Link
Text="ESPN"
NavigateUrl="http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/index?z=TM"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
<Link
Text="Facebook"
NavigateUrl="http://m.facebook.com"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
</OperatorLinks>
</InternetPortal>
4) Remove the line <BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>
This will now launch the lower left Bookmarks and lower right browser in Opera. (this is only possible, if you have already edit the registry in the previous tutorial)
Replacing the tag <BrowserExe>\Window\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe> with <BrowserExe>\Windows\Opera9.exe</BrowserExe> only launches the "Earth" tab in Opera but the tabs will not be launched at all, not even in IE. Don't know why this happens. You can even edit the Banner tag so that it doesn't go to the web2go website by modifying the NavigateUrl to "" or whatever you want.
5) Adding/Removing the Push Tabs.
Look for the tag <OperatorLinks>. you will notice that the three "permanent" tabs are located here. You need to remove the tag <Link> in order to remove them
For example: I don't want the facebook Tab on this screen. So I remove the whole tag
<Link
Text="Facebook"
NavigateUrl="http://m.facebook.com"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />
You can add more Tabs accordingly by following how the previous link tags are.
6) You can also use your opera bookmarks to show up on this screen by replacing/modifying this tag
<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>. Set the False to True, and you will now be able to use all your Opera Bookmarks on this tab. This does include the pre configured Tmobile links. I got around this by removing the Tmobile links or place them all in a new folder. This is easily editted by going through Opera Browser.
Opera Browser Configuration
Look for the following files in your TP2
\Windows\Opera9\opera.ini
\Windows\Opera9\opera1.ini
1) Allowing more browser tabs in Opera.
Open up opera.ini and look for "Maximum Allowed Tabs"
You can change 2 up to 17. I can't find the thread for this configuration.
2) I got rid of all the url references to tmobile and even made sure the regular options point to www.google.com so that the browser loads up faster.
I know there could be more configuration that i may not have found yet, but this is the most basic i could do get the Internet Tab working like how it was supposed or how i want it to be. Still can't figure out how to make Push Internet work however.
Please use this thread to post other threads or even new ideas on how to configure this tab.
Enjoy and good luck !
Great info here...I also spent a lot of time solving this problem too, but I found one other thing with my T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 that's definitely important to note...

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

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

I put Google in mine and it worked like a charm. No reset required. I used Notepad on the PC side to do it.
If anyone is finding they can't see the file from Windows, go to your Folder Options and uncheck "Hide protected os files"
Thanks btong1978, this post was really helpful. I banged my head on this for days. It's crazy that T-mobile would believe that everyone would want to go to CNN and ESPN. No offense to fans of these sites, but I have better things to do with my mobile browser, like movie times and wikipedia.
Another tip for people using these instructions. Change
Width="480"
Height="215"
to
Width="240"
Height="107"
or even smaller to get more bookmarks on your screen. With Height="60" I was able to get 5 bookmarks to show beneath the logo without scrolling.
Also, the <IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites> works for IE as well, so change-away.

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

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

I'm just saying that if the Telus version doesn't have IE as default, then there really shouldn't be any problem. But as the_sys0p said, it's really the manila file that determines all the defaults.
Thank you!
Thanks for this thread. Here is some related info that I got from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542113
How can i change the search engine in the internet tab?
Use a registry editor and add/modify the following key (the one below is the standard search engine - Google)
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"InternetSearchUrl"="http://www.google.com/m?source=mobilesearchapp&v=1.0&aq=f&q=%s"
I don't need the search bar in the internet tab, how can I disable it?
Use a registry editor and add/modify the following key (standard = "false")
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"DisableInternetSearch"="true"
why the hell couldn't i find this post when I was trying all of this? I actually had like 4 different threads up that had all this info scattered. Anyway, I actually made a cab that'll do all of this.

I'm pretty much stuck on this...
open the xml on your computer with Notepad. then move the file back to your phone through Active Sync

It won't let me access the xml on my computer. Notepad can't access it for some reason.

And of course, thank you very much btong1978!
Now is there a way to make Skyfire the default browser in the Internet tab? I'm starting to like it more than Opera.
Great Post!!
I used the info from MattandTracy to do a lot of tweaking, but the part I couldn't find out was how to change the Internet default browser.
I edited the .xml page to tell it to look for Skyfire, instead of IE (or Opera) and I set Skyfire as the default browser when it asked me to. I then customized the Internet Page (It's now the "InterWeb" page) and I customized the push pages and added one of my own. It still kept bringing up IE.
Thankfully, you identified where in the registry to go and stop this! Now, it brings up Skyfire, and I can go to whatever page I want to.
I also edited the other push pages using the .xml page, so that they go to the sites' actual mobile page, with no reference to T Mobile. Really speeds things up!
Thanks so much. You really helped me out.
Hi guys. I have found an Messages application for lokalisten.de communitystuff..
I dont trust this app.
Can anyone check this cab for some password-pishing-**** or stuff like the that.
It works but i dont wanna put in my real account password.
Maybe its the wrong forum. Sorry for that..
Please put better titles, not things like: NEED HELP!, Problem!...
Back to thread
I suggest you to use a emulator to test this application
sorry. i tried on my phone already. and it still works.. but anybody told me it can be a bad software too.. i dont know how to figure this out.. Can you ceck it about a bad source code? the developer of this app means this app is an api coded cab.. just recieve and answering messages at the easiest way..
can this application send some another information to ?? anywhere? or pishing passwords?
No, this things are near impossible
It's all ok, I haven't any strange things in my emulator
thanks buddy!
I looked around the .cab and didn't find anything out of the ordinary. There's a file called config.xml, which is where the username and password are stored. There are two DLLs, both of which are completely legitimate (one is ManilaDotNetSDK.dll and the other is OpenNETCF.Drawing.dll). Then there is a file called XLokalisten.exe and a Start Menu shortcut called XLokalisten.lnk. There are no registry entries. Unless the EXE itself is pulling your password and sending somewhere it shouldn't be sent, this cab looks fine.
I also took a fast look on the disassebled code and all is right.
You can use it without afraid
so, I havent found this yet, so Im posting this asking for some help. Im trying to get showaco's opera panel for bookmarks to work with the new opera mobile 10 beta 3, for smartphones. finally got the panel to show after editing the default.plg for my screen res and manually putting it into my cpr. Editted the registry to read what I wanted it to on the default panel. Unfortunately I know little to nothing about writing mortscripts. Someone posted where the bookmarks are kept in opera 10 so I changed that in the mort and where my opera 10 exe. is in it. Seems my knowledge of mortscripts are nill, Im going to assume the mort is suppose to change the first page to the first bookmark and add a page for each bookmark. Unfortunately, I get the panel up and the registry editted, I run my editted mort and it just deletes the the page in the registry so I lose the panel as well.
so does anyone wanna help with this?
edit:
so, thinking again. why stop with opera 10? lets see if we can do this with opera mini. skyfire as well.
The bookmark files are no longer clear text with Opera 10
You would need to be able to read the new format of the bookmark files
so, i guess im going to need a lil more help than just someone who can write a mort huh? lol
I am trying to tackle this..
I would be happy with just using \program files\opera mobile 10\profile\datastorage\6\dials.dat to get the favorites. the problem is since there are non ascii characters in the file I have been unable to read the file into a variable for further manipulation.
Anyone know how to either replace all non ascii characters with spaces using mortscript or any other WM utility???
THANKS!
awesome
good to know someone else is on this as well. i have little to no experience with mort or programming so, its left me limited to only finding the "miracle" answer. after raidzero's post though, it did narrow my search. Ive come across a couple of sites that might help someone with more knowledge in writing something. a couple have an "expression" thats said to filter out non ascii characters. if someone is serious about this let me know and ill post the links. i do most of my searching and posting on my phone so, until we actually get something for our bookmarks that would be a fun task lol

Thanks for the info, the excel one seems like it might work, but doubtful. The rest are all for different languages, if I knew any C I would do it in that and make my whole panel just use native code instead of mortscript..
but I don't. so the search is still on. I know there is someone here that could make a program that just took a file and removed the non printable characters from it!
then it could be called int he mortscript and life could go on. I will check with JMZ, he knows how to do stuff like that I think.
ok, sounds good
alright. sounds like a plan. so if not "C" is there anything else you are familiar with other than mortscript? thatll help narrow my search

I do not know C, well, I can do maybe hello world. but that's about it. For something as simple as a string manipulation it can't be that hard, but you never know.
Maybe I might just download the bloodshed dev C++ IDE (free) and try my hand at it ....
edit: so bloodshed is gone
visual studio I guess, maybe my company has a license for it.
let me know
if not, mine might. also, i might be able to find one cheap. or i might even have a copy. my old man always makes me a copy of everything he buys and downloads so, I got a couple towers of cd's of software i havent even cracked open lol
