Adding links to programs in internet tab - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I've been searching this forum for how to do this, but so far have only seen solutions regarding the xml file located in \Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-en-us.xml.
For some strange reason I dont have this file, or even have the "manila" folder within the application data. Currently running jackos smartmove rom on an unbranded european tp2.
Was just wondering if there's another way to add links in the internet tab?
Thanks in advance for any help.

TMobile un-official WM6 - Updated & Working :-)

Just created a T-Mobile branded WM6 ROM from the Official HTC Dopod ROM.
Got the T Mobile Theme, Splash Screens and Settings. Works pretty good and its my first attempt at cooking a ROM of any sort.
Remove Quickmark and Cybron VC cooked my own EXTRom and added the Fixed 3g Icon.
T Mobile settings are T-Mobile UK Only.
ROM now fixed and T-Mobile settings are working, Have also found the Clean 3G Icon dll and cooked that into the ROM. However the 3G I con I cannnot test till tomorrow as where I live 3G is not an option.
Please use the new link to download below.

I live in an area where i dont get 3G coverage I installed the 3g fix CAB and the T Mobile Fixed settings on the customisation from Extended ROM but they dont seem to have taken you are right. I am Looking to fix this ASAP cannnot work out why they dont work.
Already given up with the T Mobile fixed cab installing from customisation along with 3GIcon. Amazing that something that is in theory so simple just drop the CAB file into a new EXT ROM add the CAB install line in the config.txt and Flash off you go.
I have no idea why it doesnt run the CABS but then I am new to all this cooking lark. Just tried everything to get it working and failed.....
Sorry will remove the thread and the download.
Will post a new link when I have fixed the problems will approach from XML angle for the settings as suggested below by ChaoticDruid. Thank
Hi, I seen your other thread about the .cab, I cannot say for sure why that isnt working for you, I havent looked in the cab for the tmobile settings myself, but I imagine if you can, its just registry entries, and what you could do, is just cook an .xml into the ROM with the settings, and add the the .xml to the preconfig.text, and just cook the clean 3G .dll into the ROM, you should abandon using the extROM, really..but thats just my opinion.
There are .xml examples found on the forum and google, and you can even take apart some ROMs, and look for .xml files with names like "customization" etc. and see how they are laid out, or just modify an existing one.
Dont give up yet.
I didnt know the clean 3g Icon was avaliable in an OEM .dll file so I will that up. I have seen the xml files but seen a ROM yet that is WM6 and has an XML file that I can template from I know the T Mobile settings manually but not sure what strings they go in like you say I need an XML file that already has provider settings in so I can change them.
Hmm wondering now if there is a registry snapshot program for WM6 that like there is for windows. Could take basic setup snap then install the settings cab and take another then export the changes made.

Easy, search! most past rom thread have needed them, so links to CABs can be found all over the place!
Did a search on here for clean 3g icon and I found the CAb that way going to try and get the DLL though
Hi again, you can use sktracker to keep track of registry changes, and OCP cab manager is available in a trial, as far as finding an xml, just start dumping cooked roms, and opening the xml files with notepad, Im sure you'll eventually come across one with registry entries, and then just modify it, and add to your rom, but don't forget to add a line in the preconfg.txt, also you could have a peek at the one in the dumped rom, which contained the xml.
Thanks to you all I have got it working I have cooked in the DLL for clean 3G and also got T Mobile UK settings auto setup.

T Mobile UK Settings CAB

Im just updating to a WM6.1 image but cannnot find a CAb file I had for T-Mobile UK settings. Looked on here by searching the forum but cannnot find the thread it was on anyone help me ??
Here you go
Used to use this one myself but now just use the built in wizard.
Thankyou
It's always handy to keep it around though in case
Thankyou.

ROM cooking: smthing else than initflashfiles affects shortcuts

Hi, everyone! I´m still working on a Wizard (don´t want to touch my Hermes, yet). I´m pretty advanced... but
I dump the [latest] original cingular WM5. I rebuilt it with office 2007 and realize that the original shortcuts are still there. Of course, they are both useless (as I have new names for the apps) and annoying (because I can´t remove them before compiling).
This is the whole point: Those shortcuts are not coming from neither an xml update for the XIP nor an initflashfiles.txt
HOW ON EARTH DO I REMOVE THEM. I can´t find what is creating and copying those shortcuts
Are they embedded in the OS.nb file? If so, how do I take that file apart?
Any help is very much appreciated!
..provxml, m8..
Nope, had checked already
*.mopvxml, etc had been checked.
But... what did you mean by m8?.
BTW: I will check inside os.nb now, but please give me fresh ideas
You may also want to check for a file called initflashfiles.dat. That contains a lot of shortcut information as well. Especially for apps that are default for that particular ROM. It should be found in the OEM\OEM_LANG_* folder in the kitchen. The (*) is the locale number. For example, a WWE ROM would have the folder as OEM_LANG_0409.
Yep, solved (initflashfiles.dat)
Hey, thanks! You´re FAST!
I was about to post it. But thanks, you could have saved me hours
Anyways. If anyone ever reads this thread, remember: scavenging os.nb(a) isn´t that great. An automated kitchen does it all (Hypercore in this case).
I also found somebody claiming that certain shortcut came from a dll. Just keep as a sidenote.
Cheers!

[TUT] How to change the Internet Globe Icon

Hi all,
I have had a couple of questions on how to change the globe on the internet tab from the globe to a pic of your choosing.
I have attached the files you need. All you need to do is Create 2 png pictures that are 512x256 and name them the same as in the files.
Once you have done this copy them onto your device,turn off touchflo and drop them along with the mainla file into your windows directory using total commander (or similar) and restart touchflo and hey presto your very own internet icon.
Have fun
works great!!
I made a nice Opera logo, maybe someone likes to use it.
Can't find a good screen capture program, just try it.
You have to copy all three files to the windows directory using total commander or other.
EDIT: found screen capture program, so now included
very nice
Hope to see a few more of these on here. People have been looking but no one has replied.

Hi... I like your internet glob. Can you make it into a cab file? I am very bad at this so far so would be great.
Thanks in advance
Hi , sorry to trouble you but could you or anyone please upload the stock 'Internet tab Globe' icon for me ? My operator decided to use its own logo for the Launch Browser icon and it looks quite terrible
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately this does not work on my German O2 stock rom.
They probably use another manila file for selecting the image on the internet tab.
I have to investigate further...
Here try this Cab File.
I finally solved it, thanks to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2861249
I have to edit a file in \Application Data\Manila which holds the information about banner and operator links.
Thanks anyway for the information in this thread
BTW: You can add a property Text to the Banner node to display a heading under the banner icon
Many thanks to David. I've customised my Internet globe.
I 'emptied' the Youtube text as well as picture reference fields in your attached XML. So nothing shows. Hmm, now I am wondering how I can incorporate another program icon to be exact ...
remove the globe
Thanks for the tutorial, but to me the globe is useless, i would like to start at the tab with only my favorites and no globe at all; so is it possible to fully remove the globe?
I dont know. It might be possible but due to way TF3D uses the Mainla files you would have to modify it in such a way that it doesn't know there should be anything there and that it going waaay above my head.
It's not as simple as deleting the file you might actually have to change the more progamming but i'm sure someone could help

You just need to delete the "Banner" node (i.e. everything between and including "<Banner [...] />", without the quotes.).

Just played around and found I could remove youtube icon. All I did was to delete the everything within <OperatorLinks>.
Dear friend, after i have copied the 2 png pictures to the manila file, turn off and restart the TFL3D, the globe ico remain unchange. Would you give me more detail on how to fix it. By the way, there are two files named InternetPortal and InternetPortal-zh-CN, anything i need to do about that? thanks.

Would help if I could find the folder \Application Data\Manila\ , let alone the file InternetPortal-en-gb.xml. It is most vexing!
BTW
I am using Total Commander on an OrangeUK 1.14 ROM Touch HD
EDIT
====
Nevermind, I did a bit more forum searching and found the right file to edit.
It is 27c65cbd_manila in \windows\ (for me anyway)

[Q][Sense 2.5] require[...] ?

Hi @all,
I've donwloaded the manila kitchen and also the current release of the manila package.
Now I want to write a new Tab and have some big problems with that. I hope you can help.
1st I've thought about looking into existing code (eg Twitter Tab). There I've my first problem. They use a script file called machine_status_svc, CLuaTweetList_svc and CLuaTweetEdit_svc (used in "5518259a_manila" or "twitterutil.luac"). They also use a function called CLuaTweetList_Instance() and I think which is included in CLuaTweetList_svc.
Now my problem: I can't find these files. Can anybody help?
2nd I've check the registry on my mobile and found the key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\HTCService. There are some dll files registered. I think they will work as background service during the manila is running. Now I want to write this kind of service too.
So does anybody know how these dll file have to be implemented? which procedures/functions are required and which aparameters etc?
I still have som other questions, but maybe I can solve them if I've got a reply to these at first.
I'm sorry but I don't find anything in the web about there questions.
I hope for your help! - Thanks!
Does maybe anybody know if HTC is providing these information?
If yes does anybody maybe also know a direct contact address (e-Mail) to get it?
Thanks :'(
