Can't download cab-file with PIE - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Sorry, this must have been discussed before. But i don't find anything.
I can't download cab-files with pie, it show the file as text. Can i maybe change somthing in the registry or something?
I have Trinty with Bepe rom os6.

There is a workaround for this.
After the download is finished, and you see all this strange text, navigate to /Windows/Profiles/Guest/Temperary Internet Files/Content.IE5/. (DON'T close PocketIE)
There you'll see 4 folders. In one if these folders you can find your CAB-file.
BTW; Its a good idea to empty your Temporary Internet Files before downloading the CAB-file. That will make it a lot easier to find.
I know there are other solutions, but this works quitte well!

I did not know of that trick. But i used two other: wait for the text to load, then save the page with spb pocketplus, rename the file to fiename.cab. Or: copy address and paste in opera mobile.
But i hope to find a better solution.

Or you can try this: http://cabdl.com/
Never tried or used it btw.

Changing TouchFlo's Shortcut

I have a Sprint Touch with TouchFlo preinstalled. Instead of opening up the cube, I would like for it to open SPB Shell. I tried the FTouchFlo config tool that I found here from a search but it didn't work with my Touch. Is there an easy way to do this?
Thanks all!
Did you make sure the config program was in the same folder as TouchFlo? I know it's key with Ftouchflo.
Otherwise you may have to edit the .config file manually.
robby im in the same boat as you. what i've found is that we can't do anything to touchflo, period. we have to download Ftouchflo and THEN use touchfloconfig. our native touchflo will only work for scrolling and opening the cube.

How did you disabe biotouch.exe?
I followed the thread that netzcoyote linked to. I have a touch and it does not have either .lst file that contains the startup contents.
This shouldn't be this hard!

Well, in order to DIsABLE a process, you can kill it with a process manager. I use SK Tools for that. In order to keep it from opening, you either reomve the lnk to biotouch exe from Windows/StartUp, OR, if it doesn't show there, you remove it from LaunchStartupApp.lst. This is a HIDDEN file in Windows/, so you have to use a file explorer like GSFinder to see it.
Hope that helped.

I tried finding it with GSFinder in the .lst file (did a search for all .lst files) and in the startup folder with no luck. SKTools and Memaid couldn't find it anywhere. I can't figure out how this is starting!
Does anyone have an idea where to find this? I did a search in the registry, tried SKTools and Memaid with no luck at all!

Fist of all you don't need to look in the registry. I use Total commander as a file browser with works great! (see attachment). Look for LaunchStartupApp.lst or Startupapp in the main windows directory. Should be working, you have wm 6 I assume?
Let me know.

Even with Total Commander, I can't find either file in the Windows directory or anywhere on the device. I am running 6.1. I have DCD's latest ROM for the Touch. He cooked up two versions. One with the cube and one without. I have tried both. The one without the cube just gives me an error about trying to start biotouch. I can't disable it with either ROM because I can't figure out how this is starting. Arrrrggg!! Thanks for your help!

Posible to remove YouTube shortcut from lunch browser place ?

Hello..
is it posible to remove short cuts from internet place from lunching browser ?
i have this issue from cell company which its allready there and i want to remove it .. (( not the youtube tab.. )) the red Airtel Live tab .. also the browser set to be the first page to lunch is www.airtel.in .. and im very annoyed from it .. is there's a way to remove it ? or the abbility to chose which web page that i want to lunch once i press on lunch browser ???
thx
any solution ???
I need a tab removed too, it's so annoying to press everytime the wrong tab instead of youtube
Depending on how your ROM has been set up by your Telco... this should work. Go to your Main Memory then see if there is an "\Application Data\Manila" folder. If there is,...then the fix is simple.
Either rename the \Manila folder to something else, or go into that folder and rename or move the 2 files
InternetPortal.xml
InternetPortal-en-AU.xml (where -en-AU is your language /country).
If the ROM can't see these files you will get the default settings from "Windows\27c65cbd_manila".
Your Carriers "OperatorLinks" should now be gone from the Internet Tab. Not the shortcuts but the Operator links that look similar to the YouTube one.
If you do not have an "\Application Data\Manila" folder then the solution is slightly more complex as you will have to edit "Windows\27c65cbd_manila".
Try the above method first. If no luck report back and me or someone else can post the other more complex method.

The method is the same, you can find in both files the entry
<Operator Links>
...
</Operator Link>
Just remove them and all Links are Removed. Editing the 27c65cbd_manila is just a bit dangerous if you don't make a copy before you are editing it
Yeah but you can remove \Application Data\Manila files hocus pocus with no editing - that is why this method is better, if you simply want to remove branding as these guys do. The underlying 27c65cbd_manila version will keep the stock ROM settings.
One method is to delete a file that is superfluous - the other is to edit a file that Manila needs. So not the same.
Like you say the files are basically identical though, each with the setting coming as you say from the operator links area.
I guess you could say I described the Safe Simple dummies method that should work.

I agree, but if you just remove the two xml-files, the youtube-link will still be there because it's also integrated in the manila-file.
True but if you re-read what the guys were after.. they want to remove the links that look like the youtube link. Not the you tube link. So the simple method will do that.
i found the two files in manila internetPortal.xml & internetportal-en-gb.xml
but its protected and i cant delete them ... hidden and protected as system files read only
any way to remove them ??

I am on sprint and do not have the "\Application Data\Manila" folder so I have been playing with "Windows\27c65cbd_manila" to add a shortcut to Ticker Tape 0.5 by GeckoDev.
I have gotten the shortcut I wanted to appear on the internet screen (as shown in the screen shot below) but when I click the shortcut I get this error msg (as shown in the other screen shot below)
The File 'Ticker Tape' 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.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this error...I have been searching but with no luck -
I have tried placing the exe and all related files in the widows directory because that is where the You Tube files are located but it didn't work. I think this might have something to do with it but I can't figure out in the "\Windows\27c65cbd_manila" file the file path to the You Tube icon does not exist that I can find. It might be a hidden folder but I can't see it in Total Commander. It says it is located "\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc". Also what is a .qtc file? My searching points me toward "Apple QuickTime Support file" but I have never heard of it as an icon file in WM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

how to change wm6 default apps?

for example: make thumbcal default calendar
thanks
Menu-Extras-Setting-Standard for Calendar
if you want a application be the default one it must be in Settings of this application, so just look there a little bit, seems to make more sense than open such threads By the way:
1. Did you read first tread for such questions ?
2. why dont you ask that in the thumbCal thread ?
3. The default Calendar thing has been asked a hundred times there, so it seems you even dont searchor read there ?
if you mean the left softkey too, search for "changing softkeys"
thank you
unfortunately the default app setting for this change in thumbcal does not work, thats why i spent two hours looking in different threads for a solution, the one hack that did work for somebody i couldnt duplicate because i dont know how to edit a system file (and i tried several different ways)
i did ask in that thread, but thot asking here would catch somebodys eye who either had a solution or something positive to contribute
i thot this forum was about sharing knowledge
if this post is really that out of line please delete it

try using total commander, you may have to remove the readonly or system attributes to the file through total commander, edit it (which you can also use total commander for) and then change the attributes back
thank you for responding!
this was one of the first things that i tried but i wanted to try it again before i replied
i can uncheck attributes of calendar.exe ie: read only and system but i cant uncheck "inROM" its greyed out
so when i hit ok read only and system revert back to checked
thanks again for trying to help, i appreciate it
works with manilla2D, so guess with more apps?

- Download VJBrisk.cab
- Install it
- Copy vjbrisk.exe
- make a backup of calendar.exe
- Rename vjbrisk.exe to calendar.exe
- make a LNK (shortcut) to your application and name it vjtarget.lnk
Place both files in your Windows directory (yes, overwrite calendar.exe)
I found this somewhere in the Manilla2D threads (don't know wich one anymore).
Good luck

ok, I might be retarded or severely slow, but I've tried this, and I can't even copy calendar.exe to somewhere else.. running stock htc WM 6.1 rom

Can't you just open up thumbcal and go to its menu option and select "Extras" followed by "Settings", then scroll down and pick/check "Set as default calendar"?
EDIT: Sorry just read post 2 who practically tells you to do the same, must have ignored it as I feel the post was a bit out of line. On the same note though, that was all I did and it seemed to work, that may be because I am using an Omnia at present.

[OEM] package Internet Explorer 6 for cooks

This post is obsolete
Thank you very much for this!
EDIT:
Only these two folders? No more or do I have to replce the folders inside of my Kitchen?
I took the liberty to changing the Title to Internet Explorer and Giving you Bump in informing you.
Hope people get the intention of this thread, so hopefully there won't be hundred's of different IE versions around.
Have you Seen PIE8 yet?
HI!!!
I am looking forward the PIE6 such a long time!!!
Thank you very much!!
But I want to know " Can it be uninstall to roll back to PIE4???"
Thanks!!!

Hi Noonski, yes I already have Internet Explorer version 8 for a few days. Not tested yet. I uploaded it to mediafire so you can download the cab here. I didn't make an OEM package yet.

i installed mi ie8 cab on my hp ipaq 214. but i dont know how to start it. where is exe?
so I tried instaling the cab file and I do not see any differences. It seems like an addon for the already existing PIE... ?
I looke at the OEM, and I am not sure what the differences are other than the new DLLs.
Can someone explain what the new features are?
I still can't see the myspace page normal. WTF?!
Ok guy more details...
The oem package must go in Sys folder togehter other Browsing folders, you must not delete anything!
Cook your room and enjoy, rember tu put flashlite also in your rom!
For IE8 probably need some other file, I'll try to cook in a rom to try it!

That explains it. I was going to report back as not working but i might try that and check back later.
I tried the Package both in OEM and Sys, iT did not change anything here to.
More Play tomorrow.

Congrats on that.
Did you try the first root folder and put the two inner folders in the sys?
Repack posted in post #1, this should work.
I have cooked this into my ROM and it all works OK apart from the IE home page. In the folder 'browsingie_LANG_0409' the .RGU file sets the home page to
Code:
"home_0409"="file://\\Windows\\iemo6_default_0409.htm"
and this file is included in the folder. When I launch IE though I get the 'Action canceled' page. I have verified the file is there and if I use File Exlporer to find the file and then open it, it all opens OK. If I open the file this way and then set it to the home page and then close and open IE the problem is still there so I am stuck as to what the issue is?
I have noticed similar behaviour with other .htm files as well; for example the JBlend0409.htm file when trying to access it via Help - you get 'Cannot open Help. The file cannot be found' however the file is there and the shortcuts are correct?
It is pretty weird?

Removing push pages from internet tab

Hi,
I've been trying to remove some push pages from the internet tab, but so far I haven't found a way of doing it. Someone said to look in the registry, the specified key isn't there (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\Internet.DefaultCount)
Also, someone mentioned editing an XML file in the Application data\Manila folder. The folder isn't there either. I'm kind of lost at the moment on how to remove all these redundant push pages
same needs here... any help?
cheers
