How to tweak HTC Home country code/settings?

I'd like to know how I can tweak the country code/settings of HTC Home before installing it to Artemis?
My wife had P3300 (Artemis) with English language (WM5) and I flashed it to Finnish WM6. Now when I installed HTC Home version 2.xxx to it, some of the features work and some of them don't work.
So how to tweak the country code in order to make HTC Home work in my wife's phone?
Thanks in advance!

Well, many have read this thread but unfortunately nobody knows the answer although some persons know how to tweak ROM settings

In the windows folder of your wife´s Artemis should be a file named HTCHome.dll.0409.mui and you have to rename it as HTCHome.dll.040B.mui

Thanks! Now it's working a bit better, but still not completely right. The weather forecast appeared and it tells you to choose the correct city. After that nothing happens. Some features were added to "Launcher" but I still cannot add any applications to it. Still it's not possible to add any favourite people to "Quick dialer". The audio manager works fine.
Is there something else that should be taken to account ot tweak in order to get HTC Home work completely right? Maybe those things I mentioned are language related things and thus HTC Home doesn't work with Finnish WM6???
OK, what to do next? Should I change the name of some folders from Finnish to English if HTC Home would then find the paths more easier or do I have to tweak other HTC Home files (plugin?) files as well?
And as always, your hints are highly appreciated.

Try to find all files with *0409.mui and rename them to *.040B.mui

OK, thanks a lot again! I searched Windows directory but didn't find any other files with the title .0409.mui. Maybe I should extract HTC HOME file to my laptop's harddrive and try to search whether there are any other files with the title .0409.mui. If I remember correctly, there was also a mention of 0409 in one of the DLL files. Maybe I should change that 0409 to 040B also inside the file as well to its name???

YES, YES, that's what it takes
I connected my wife's phone to my laptop computer and renamed every file which was titled *0409* to *040B*. After that I did a soft reset and when the phone was turned on, HTC Home worked perfectly.
Thank a million for this advice!
BTW, is this "040B" some kind of universal code for HTC Home or is it just a code for Finnish WM6?

Theme Creation in Spb/TFLO

This is for those of you that have made themes, or know how to make themes in Spb or TouchFLO. I'm looking for a detailed process as to what files get changed, and where they get changed, in order to create themes for these interfaces. I tried a search and got crap results, so I'm sorry if this has been posted elsewhere already.
While I still don't personally have an X1, I would like to make a nice Theme Creator-type program similar to the good ol' Sony Ericsson Theme Creator. Ideally, this would make the process of pushing out new themes as simple as possible, and everyone could have nice, quality themes for their X1.
If, when you post instructions on the theming process, you could attach an example theme, that would help for comparison-debugging as well. Cheers!

there is no theme aditor for TF3D like you want it
Manually select files and replace the images and hope you don't mess up your theme is the only way to go
search for manila editor/m9editor to do so.
good luck

You completely misunderstood my post. What I want to do is create the program that lets you edit the themes, and what I was asking for was detailed information on what files need changed, and how they need to be changed.

This is exactly why I want to write a program for this.

as i have seen until now, theming with spb is very crappy. cant understand while there is no company or programmer that makes something usefull out of our xperias. my last hope for now is the windows mobile 6.5 build...

I would gladly make such a theming program if someone would tell me how the themes are formatted and structured, what images went where (along with image restrictions, such as their dimensions).
I don't even own an X1, so it's hard to write software for it when I can't really operate on one, but a theming program such as this could run on a generic Windows OS, and create themes to be transferred to the X1, which is very doable if I know what it is I need to make.

aaah.. my bad understanding
as for the TF3D.. there is no real theme you can load it's a compilation of files one can edit.
There are 478 images that can be edited and positioned to get the whole theme look in place. To explain here which goes where and how isn't possible.
What you can do is download itje's full hd cab and extract it.
Then with the mode9editor from 6Fg8 view the files and get to understand the structure.

I'd love to help out with the theme creator for TF3D with the SPB i have no experience (didn't like it much).
If you'd want to do it proper I think you'll need to make some kind of emulator for the TF3D interface so you have instant feedback when changing things.

I think it would be possible, albeit time-consuming. Is there a different resource which does explain which goes where and how?

Unfortunately, this alone doesn't help me understand the structure (the mode9 editor seems crash prone and seemingly doesn't understand most of the files in the CAB, and with several BMPs it complains about the headers). I really just need a detailed source of information that says what files get changed, and what they represent (remember also that, since I don't have any phone that can run TF3D personally, I can't go around experimenting with changing files to see what affects what. I need to have a clear documentation of the file structure).

Ofcourse it's possible.. but not for me
Unfortunately I don't have that time
if you check the mode9 files you'll see most of the placement of the qtc files.
The mode9 is actually only for the _manila files.. and yes.. double clicking needs to be prevented
But without a way to test it .. I give you little hope..
Have been searching for weeks for all info one 1 sheet to find my way around.. it's not here to my knowledge.
trail and error is the only way..
but maybe i'm a pessimist
good luck!

Ok...
Here we go...
Well to change TF3D themes you must edit files called Manila Files. Each file has an image inside it. in some cases (mode9) they stand for actual functions. Once these files are opened, using manila editor, you find the image files. (they are in QTC format). You must then replace "your" image files with the QTC files. This is done with the QTC converter built into manila editor.
Here is where you can download the manila files.

and here is where you can download manila editor:

hope it helps

that 0.2 manila editor is more solid but gives lesser image quality then the mode9editor that is in development now.
but yeah... it doesn't crash

If it helps,
here's a thread that contains a psd file which mapped out the entire manila interface and is easily batchable by the mode9editor.

custom cities for weather in TP2 manila?

Has anyone managed to get this working? If so, how?

caseyd said:
Also, if you wish to edit your Weather Database.
Code:
Copy '2330fc3c_manila' from your windows directory to your PC.
Open it inside [url]http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/[/url]
Expand the cities table from the File Tree to the left.
Click 'id'
Choose the 'Edit Data' tab.
Click 'cityName'
You should see alot of cities, add yours =)
Copy the manila file back to your windows directory replacing the old.

This worked for me.

Maybe file has a different name??

I found this file - HH_0419_WeatherCities.xml . It contained list of towns. BUT, if you uptdate weather it show "no data"("данные недоступны" (RUS))

I tried a few programs called Weather Database Editor, i can open them, and can change cities, but after i go to Weather tab - no changes at all

once you add cities do a soft reset for them to appear

I dont remember well but i think i did. I think the problem is that whatever program you use, until the weather file is read only you can not make any changes, but i dont know where is this file with the list of cities so i can uncheck Read Only and make changes, what is its name in Mega?

So, i found the file, removed "read only", put my sity in, and when i go to Update Now it says it can not update for selected city

Add city to Meteo page

Hi,
I would add to Meteo page a new non-standard city which is not included into the standard list.
I got the location code from accuweather and, as read in many threads, I was looking for the file HH_***_WeatherCities.xml (or something like that).
The question is that there is no file like that one... ( used Resco Explorer whose browser has been set to show alto hidden and/or system files).
Is there another way to proceed with the HTC HD mini and its HTC Sense release?
Thanks for your help.

I know there is a city editor for manilla, search the windows program section... you should find it.
