Hey Guys i found this link in the titan forum and i have installed and used this piece of software on my TYTN, it works 100% and it is BRILLIANT!!
I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY CREDIT AT ALL FOR THIS, I HAD NO INPUT INTO THE DEVELOPEMENT, THAT WAS SOLEY DOWN TO emunutz (HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM - NOT ME, OTHER THAN FOR MY FIXES)
I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE!!!

My Fixes:
FIX 1
Description: HTC Home FIX!
Error Description: When using ANY HTC Home Plugin, i found the following graphical error:
ill use the home tab as my example, when it is not selected, it is dull and transparent, and when you select it it gets a grey box around it and the icon image becomes lighter, this happens with all icons appart from the music note and the contacts tab
FIX:
i have fixed the images so that when they are selected they react the same as the others.
TO USE:
Extract then copy the Original Icons Fixi have attached into the following folder replacing the ones in there:
HTC HOME Customise\HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then apply the "Original" Icon Set.
FIX 2
Extract then copy the Transparent selected file to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\bg\Original Semi-Transparent
And it will make the Grey selection Box that appears around the selected tab Transparent!
My Packages/Upgrades:
1) Original Icons 3D Style
To Have The 6 Tab Icons In 3D Download Original 3D Icons inside the zip you will find 2 folders "Original" & "Original 3D"
The "Original 3D" folder has the new icons in it, copy these icons to:
HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original
Then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
If you decide to go back to the normal (non 3D) "Original" Icons, copy all of the files in the "Original" folder from "Original 3D Icons.zip" and copy them to the directory above, then select the "Original" icons from the Software.
FIX
Reserved For More Fixes/Upgrades

I'm going to try this. Haven't noticed it but I'm going to look if there are changes.

I didnt realize! Mainly because i contacted the OP if the thread in the Titan Forum and he told me that it was his software and he was devoloping it.
I offered to have a play with some of the griphics and he asked that if I did anything could i post it on his thread so he could add it to his package.
Firstly i was looking for things that needed improvement and i released these 2 fixes, posted them in the Original thread and here so everyone could benefit
Thanks bennec83. Just a quick question. Does this work with the HTC Home 3 tabs version? I rather like the 3 tabs version as it is more finger friendly.
thanks for the effort

In theory (and we all know how accurate theory is) it should work with the 3-tab except for the tab order setting, as long as the version you are running installs to either \Windows or \HTCHome.
Another option would be to install the 6-tab version, run the customizer, and in the tab order setting you can select how many tabs and what order you want them in (which means you can display only 3 if you would like, and in any order you choose).

I tryed that and it didnt work, i have the 6 button kaiser home plugin, and it installs to \HTCHome, i used the customiser to change the order if the tabs and NOTHING happened.
I have been so bogged down with other stuff i didnt get a chance to message you!
Any clues?
thanks
You'll need a 6-tab cab that supports the tab order setting. In my thread, toward the bottom are RapidShare links for cabs that fully support all settings for the customizer for WM5 and WM6, including tab order.

I am having the custom weather database "Unable to retrieve weather" problem. I read the thread in the Titan forum, but could not resolve it and the linked N2A thread. I am using the cab file from that thread, not the Pocket Hosts method.
I am in the US, so I run the customizer (which completely rocks btw) and enter my city, zip code and USA for country. I get the cannot connect error. I read the post about switching to alternate connection, navigating to htc.accuweather.com, etc. but I do not actually know wtf is meant by switching to alternate connection? You mean wifi v. gsm connection??? I do get the error page "You have reached an inconfigured webpage..." when I navigate to htc.accuweather.com on any connection. (My city is on accuweather's US site, but not on the international site. That is, after all, the point of this customization, right?)
Any help appreiated - thx.

looks pretty friggin good to me man. Is there a .cab file you can put together for this?
Putting the final touches on it as we speak
OrganicM said:
I was able to get the TestUIPlugin to work and update in realtime. I used mortscript to get values from "weather watcher mobile", which is free. Currently, you run the script, it loads weather watcher, copies over the forecast data, updates the registry entries for testuiplugin, updates the plugin, and closes weather watcher in the background. It's not very elegant right now, because it uses mortscript. Maybe someone can write a standalone exe based on my work.
Here's what it looks like right now. Any ideas to improve the layout ?

I was wondering the same thing as Pudge. It may not look exactly like you've mapped it out in your head...but it looks pretty darn good to me. A .cab would be great, Organic.

Hey OrganicM, It looks sick but if i could suggest something, then it would be the title, instead of making the "temperature" the title, why not make it My Weather or something along those lines and underneath it - you could make a line for the temperature, upto u - otherwise it looks amazing - Keep up the good work and post a .cab when ur done
Good Luck !
I know, that's what I wanted to do initially, but this damn TestUIPlugin, will NOT let me do two lines of text!! Only thing I could do, is append the current temperature at the end of the forecast blurb... But it wouldn't really make it stand out.

About implementing it to any panels, slim or not...
Hi OrganicM!
Nice job you done with this app.
I took a look at your cab _setup.xml and I was wondering what needs to be changed to the Chome_320x240.cpr for the app to work, since I prefer my chubby panels and its icons and overall layout (just a matter of taste, you know).
Perhaps you could post a little step by step guide for the ones like me who want to implement it by hand, with the needed files in a single compressed file (zip, rar, your choice really, I've already got them from the cab ).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought he intended to post the .cab for the "chubby panels" soon anyway. I am on the same page with you, Cassiano. I like my plump panels, but I'd like to install Organic's .cab too. I don't necessarily wanna change anything in my homescreen layout--aside from including the new weather panel.

Disregard my previous posts! I see you've laid everything out in the 1st post. Thanks man.
Is anyone else have trouble updating the city? I'm trying to get Seattle on here, but it won't find it by name, and if using the zip is keeps showing sunny Las Vagas... That sucks, mainly 'cause it nice there and not here... Thanks.
This thing is awesome. Just what I needed. However, is there a way to remove the photo and media pannel? I tried to edit the XML file but it doesn't change. Any ideas?
Thanks..
Just set the plugins as "disabled" right in the registry.
Updated first post again, this time I added a "last updated" time in the top right corner. This gets updated everytime the weather script runs, so you have an idea how recent the info is.
Alright...for some reason it won't allow my city to be displayed when setting up Weather Watcher. It'll take me to a blank IE screen. I made the change to my city in 'Options', like instructed. Then tried to open 'Update Weather'. It would take me back to the blank IE screen. On the homescreen--the weather sliding panel is blank and just has a sun in it. Is there something I'm not doing?

Are you sure you're spelling it correctly ? Mine finds it right away.
Hi guys,
I think we should make a 'database', e.g. an excel table or something else, in which we add alle the 1234567_manila-Files and what they are standing for (friendly file name like "HTC\Asset\Images\background.qtc") and maybe some keywords in an extra column like "home, background", etc.
I think this would make it much easier to work with the manila-files, because I always forgot what a file was standing for after a few days
Greets,
Sascha
I have only just started getting into editing Manila but I certainly agree that it's a good idea. As I'm still only at the beginning, I can contribute serverhostspace for the DB and I'll hopefully be able to contribute with actual content later on.
If someone has a ready script for an MDB or an SQL or whatever else I am ready to host it and make it interactive to receive input from anyone who discovers something new
Nice suggestion and worthy
That a work for all of us.
i agree on this, ill whip up a simple website that people can input details about each file in a gridview.
ill post a link hopefully tomorrow

Hi everyone, I just stumbled onto this by mistake.
Are you fed up of the poor quality for the backgrounds in tf3d.
Just do as I did by accident and I hope it works for everyone.
1. Use photoshop create a clear image 480 X 800 pixels
2. Save this image as a .png file (Interlaced) - (Example Clear.png)
3. Transfer this to your HD (Storage card also can)
4. install mun-background4allpages.cab
5. On tf3d settings tab, use "Home Wallpaper" and select that .png file as your background.
6. Soft reset your HD.
If your background turns white after the soft reset, then you have succeeded.
7. Now you can set any picture of 480 X 800 pixels or larger as your background without any loss in quality. (I recommend 800 X800 pixels)
**Note: The default background is automatically changed to your selection every time you set a new background. I have no idea at all why but it is a positive side effect as far as i am concerned.
Please also note that this is something I have stumbled upon while playing with my HD,
I don't know how to undo what I have done !
For your info, the details of my machine:
My ROM is not a cooked ROM. It is the OEM ROM.
ROM version: 1.18.723.3 (23358) WWE
ROM date: 11/24/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol version: 52.49a.25.26U

No need to comment on him like that. Perhaps he found a solution to it by doing that? And so what if he didn't, it isn't a method anybody stated before and atleast he made the effort to share it with us.
Besides, none of this is exactly ''scientific''.

Kudos to you Ivanhou, can't try your method atm as I'm on the Titanium interface. Hope it works for some people.

Will this trick work for the latest Manila? I assume not since you're using stock ROM and background4allpages.cab.
Damn, the other methods are too much stuffing around, great find though, thanks for sharing.

so many advocates this days
KukuriKu, then why insinuate it's not working when you haven't even tried it yourself? Your comment seemed like you were attacking him. For your information, it DOES WORK. Unlike you, i've just tried it on a stock rom and can confirm it works.

Hi
It won't appear because it is clear.
Just soft reset ur HD and the screen should turn white.
then you can set any images you like and see the result.
good luck.
I regret to inform after following instructions completely...it didn't work. But thanks for sharing though. When I set the picture i thought it was clearer but when I went to album in touch flo, brought up the picture, then clicked the home button, you could see the sharpness go worse.
Lets keep trying though, I don't believe for one minute this phone is not capable of displaying hi res pics. Its just a bugger to figure out lol.
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!

Does the Telus version have IE as the default browser?

Unfortunately, this thread is for the Tmobile version, if anyone has any idea where this would be on the Telus, please feel free to post. I don't know of the telus version though.
Thanks !

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.

Hi Guys, my first post here.
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)

I don't know why, but I'm unable to open the file on my PC, and I can't edit this on the phone. Can you help me with that? I opened OneNote on the phone, pasted the xml, did my changes on there, but have no idea how to change the xml file in the \Manila\ folder.
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.
EDIT: Nevermind! I did a soft reset on my phone, resynced it to my computer and now I accessed it. Thanks for your contribution xnifex.
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.
