Is it possible to remove the Web 'n' Walk icon from the program menu on my UK G1? I'm not with T-mobile so its of no use to me.
it just links to the browser anyway i think, doesn't make a difference, just ignore

I have noticed that the link/app behind the IE button on the iMate JASJAR has embedded the www.clubimate.com link and every time you click the button it tries to open up that site. I want to change that so that it acts like the IE icon does on the start menu so that the web page I have up does not get overwritten. The site is not the home page defined in IE because I have already changed that. I am guessing that they have it as a parameter passed on the command line in the button. The button applet does not even have that button as one that can be touched. Anyone know what part of the registry to look at?
Thanks

Get a registry editor.
Go to - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\OEM\Keybd
Change the string called PieHomePage to the website address of your choice.
rilot, is there anyway to make the button NOT go to any website? I just want it to switch me back to PIE without changing the page I was browsing.
For example, I'm looking at a web page, and decide to go check my mail by hitting the messaging button - then viewing my mail. Then, when I press the Internet Explorer button I just want to go back to the same spot I left in the browser, not launch any page at all. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Just edit the dword so that it is blank.
Works fine, just tested it.
For the MDA Pro from T-Mobile (Germany) the registry key is different:
\HKLM\software\HTC\PIEPlug\home
internet key
how to disable the key at all, or better to make it a "space" key?
It's just next to "space" in my T-Mobile MDA pro and I can't stand it goes on the net each time I press it by chance typing!!!
thks
Does anyone know how to turn off the stupid "You are about to go online" message everytime u press the button on the MDA? :roll:
You say reg edit?? How do you do this?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Delete this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PIEPlug
In my Qtek9000 the registry change doesn't work. It keeps on appearing the OEM page of the carrier which suxx...
So I created a blank html page and copied it in the Windows directory All set now
You can do the same...
Did you try setting your homepage to "about:blank" ?
Hi
On the MDA pro, whenever you start pocket ie, even if you are connected via wifi you get a highly anoying 'you are about to go online' box. Clicking ok lands you @ t-mobiles home page. It does not seem to be possible to change the page via any of the registry hacks on the wiki, and I have no idea how to ditch the stupid dialogue totally.
Anyone know?
Nigel
it is possible
it's easy, there is one registry key you have to disable:
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC
here you see the key: PIEplug.
just rename or delete this entire key, and no more anoying popupsboxes. (after you restart PIE)
now your spb pocket plus also works.
enjoy!
I can't seem to figure out how to change that button left of space bar so that it launches IE to my home page (Google).
Everytime I click it, it goes to O2's pda site.
Any tips?
Thx.
It'll be in the registry, can't be arsed to look now
But if you copy the \windows\default.htm file (the web page you see when you open PIE every time) to your PC, you can open it up in Notepad and put a link to Google - meaning you can just click on the link on the page instead of click on the home page button whenever you want to go to Google.
The right HTML for that is
Go to Google
Just put that in anywhere (so long as it's inbetween the <body> and </body> tags, easiest way is to just paste that code in right before the </body> tag, which will put the link at the bottom of the page anyway.
That's one quick-and-dirty way of hacking the web page to show a link to Google - once you've done that and saved the modified page on your PC, just replace the html file on your PC with the copy in the \windows directory on your XDA.
Job's a good un!
AboutURLs
Look for the dword 'home' with value 'file://\Windows\default.htm' in key AboutURLs

Look at the wiki. It's exlpained in there.
To save you the trouble: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD and change the key to whatever you want.
Thanks for following up with more definitive answers guys (I actually like hacking the O2 start page, call me weird) - I just didn't have the mental capacity to go sifting through the registry once more at 5am on a Thursday morning.
I just upgraded to HD2 and found that some quicklinks icons are no longer what it originally looked like. Using a reg editor, I found the key - "HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/0/IconPath" has the value \Windows
Starhub_GEE_logo_120.qtc". By the way, I installed the 16 links cab instead of the original 9 links.
However, the icon had changed to something that looked like the webpage that the link points to. Likewise for the Web Browser tab, in which the icon changed to a screenshot of the web page.
How can I get back the original icon? Having a webpage-shot as a link sucks and I'd rather it show a pictorial icon instead. Any easy way to get this back?
Like the browser links, is there anyway to show, say, a logo of the webpage instead of the page itself?
As far as I am aware web links are always displayed as a shot of the actual page you are linking to, with the exception of the 'Launch Browser' icon.
Does anyone know how to change the internet favorite icons on the HD2? I set my link and the icon shows a picture of an internet site that isn't the favorite.
Sometimes the picture doesn't even come up. It's still the empty black box with the name of the favorite in it.
After you set it as a favorite in the visual bookmarks, you have to shutdown the browser, then open it using the new tab. After that, it will show the first page of the site thats assigned to that tab.
If you want to get rid of the existing site on a tab, just long press on it then drag it to the edge till it turns red. Tab is now empty and ready for a new bookmark assignment.
Hope that helps
I tried that. It worked for most of the icons but there are a couple that keep putting up the Wikipedia page for a favorite that isn't Wikipedia. It's super annoying.
