Hi Folks,
i want to rename and replace the right softkey (currently used for Programms)
I want to change it into a shortcut to Contacts, but i can´t find the contacts.exe or similar to write the right path into the registry
Could someone help me please?
You do it by pointing to the contact.lnk file in your start menu directory. If you wonder which program that links to , look at the property.
By using resco Explorer with enabled Data-endings i´ve found it in: \windows\Startmenü\Kontake.lnk
Thx for your help.....
good morning:
before you guys tell me to search, i have already did over and over again. all the threads i see was not entirely clear. some threads say soemthign about having a manila editor and i would need a hex editor and stuff. other people say i jsut use the change wallpaper setting in the settings tab ( i tried, it doesnt work). i also tried downloading a configurator ( dimaond) and it doesnt work. so i want to know, how exactly do you change a wallpaper for touchflo cooked roms? ( please, no vague , shortcut descriptions). i will very much appreciate it. thanks.
p.s. i mean to change only the home screen, not necessarily all tabs, but that can help to.
First we'd need to know what touchflo you're using, TF3D 1 or TF3D 2 "Landscape".
For the first, you need to edit a manila skin file, extract to a png with CFG Editor (search on XDA), edit it in photoshop, alter the manila skin file back with CFG Editor into the png you made, then hex-edit the file and paste it in your windows directory, together with another file that you'd need to download. Aka, it's a hassle. I can't tell you where to download all this, as I don't remember.
TF3D 2 its easier, just need to edit 4 skin files, without hex editing.
Are you sure you want to do this?
And how can I change the TouchFlo 3D 1 wallpaper in the cab version?

thanks for the reply. sorry i forgot to mention im using touchflo 2
but yes i would like to attempt it if you can give me directions on how to do it. i appreciate it a lot.
Edit the following files: (get them from your windows folder)
29cff4fe_manila
058acf31_manila
77feee1d_manila
70083a29_manila
Two of 'em are for portrait, two for landscape.
Use cfc gui to extract the pngs and recompile them when you're done.
Copy them to your \windows folder and you're all set.

I have been searching around the forum for quite some time and still couldn't find a solution to how to edit the manila files????
I just downloaded the manila editor which is an .exe file so can be run only on my PC. When i select the path option in it there is no access to the Windows folder of my Blackstone.
So, using total commander i copied all the manila files into one folder on my storage card which was accesible in the "Select Path" option of manila editor.
But when I opened it, it just opened two files!!!
Can any1 help me in telling how can I edit a manila file and what all I hav 2 actually do to complete a tweak?
Thanx in advance!!!!
Hey people,
I would like to know if there is a way to change the internet tab in Manila 2.1. It's currently showing push internet links, but I'd like it to look like Manila 2.5, with the thumbnails.
Any way to change this? Not using push internet anyways, and have it disabled.
Thanks!

Only way is to flash a 2.5 ROM.
Identic to Manila 2.5 have reason Bruce Inman, you have to put a ROM with Manila 2.5.
In Manila 2.1 you can try to change the links like this:
Download the file from PDA to PC InternetPortal.xlm
Open it with Notepad and change the text and address internet.
To change or add the icon:
The icons are in the form qtc, therefore:
Take the icon you want to enter, save it with program like Infrawiew in PNG format [if not already is], with the same program the icon must be brought to the dimensions of 64x64.
Through the program m9editor 3.3.0.1 convert the file from .png in .qtc and put it in the Windows folder on your device.
Back to InternetPortal.xlm file and enter the file name .qtc that we put in windows, then save your changes and restore the file InternetPortal.xlm amended in its place.
Soft reset and there will be changes. [maybe ]
I made these changes with some cooked ROM, not with the original ROM, however you can try
Remember: before backup your original file InternetPortal.xml
Very nice, thanks.
Hello my friend
I would like to cook a wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 on my LEO rom.
I have read cracing's tutorial, made a cab, and i run this cab with RUNCC.
The cab is installed, but it appear that my reg entries aren't wrote ( or erased...)
Anyone have somes idea for this problem ?
Thanks a lot,
regards,
Nixeus

How to cook custom background wallpaper for Manila 3D 2.5 ( Home Screen )
1. First rename your image file ( PNG or JPG, Not sure about other formats ) to HomeBackground.img*.
2. Create a CAB file ( Using any of your fav SW, i.e WinCE CAB Manager ).
3. Place this .img file into the CAB. Location should be \Windows.
4. Open Notepad and copy the reg entries written below :
HTML Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CachedBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png"
"Home.WallpaperMode"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\ReturnValue]
"Status"=dword:00000001
"FilePath"="\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Pic01.png
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCPhotoPicker\Manila\Setting]
"Enable_DRM"=dword:00000000
5. Paste into the Notepad file.
6. Edit the image paths to your image located. I.e CachedBackgroundPath, HomeBackgroundPath and FilePath. The HomeBackground.img and this image should be same.
7. Save the Notepad file to 1.reg.
8. Import the 1.reg file into the CAB file and save it. ( If your CAB manager doesn't support importing reg file(s), try adding the reg entries manually )
9. At last use this cab file to your auto run or etc inwhich the cab should be installed while Manila 3D is running.
This big process is coz, these things should be changed/written while Manila 3D is running. If you do this into rgu and run Manila 3D later on, it doesn't read/change the background wallpaper. However, I have tried few hours playing with this and found the working way. If any of you can find still more simple way, that would be more then a great.
Note #1: The file extension should be correct. i.e reg.txt or img.png is wrong. Make sure about it!
Note #2: The Manila 3D should be loaded fully before the CAB ( via autorun ) installs. If it a lil difference, Manila 3D won't load the image. It is hard to setup but this is the only way!
Sorry for writing too lengthy and not so good language but I hope you can understand better
Thanks a lot to Amarullz!
Best Regards

Hi,
I got the same problem.
Did you managed to solve it?
I also would like to make the cab do not appear in the program list (just to avoid that it is uninstalled)
Why are you doing it with a cab? I would just cook it straight in, with the reg entries and the image as a rom file. There are probably some provxml's that will over-write the reg entries (and maybe rename a file to the background), so find the provxml's and edit them.
Hi Farmer Ted,
I tried cooking the background (all regs + HomeBackground.img), but It didn't work.
It seems that it has to be done after manila is fully loaded.
Anyone have managed to get it to work?
