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?

YouTube Panel

Hi,
Here it is, the Youtube Panel!
If you want to use it, first you have to install Youtube of zenkinz:
zenkinz said:
I think I may have found the fix. It's a combination of registry plus system files.
If anybody has done his/her research in this area, please share as well.
Otherwise, I will test out further before sharing the fix.
Update 11/12/2008:
Minor update to the CAB, CAB no longer hard code to \Windows directory, but I have not tried if it works on storage card.
The cab file can be found here
Update 26/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB to restore the 8 system files that were overwritten by the original Youtube CAB. This is probably the last resort before having to hard reset to get Youtube working (if you had previously installed Youtube before)
Update 18/11/2008:
I have created a patch CAB, if you do not wish to hard-reset your Xperia to install the X1i-Youtube.cab. But let me know if it works for you, because while this patch CAB does correct the problematic registry entries, it does not correct the 8 system files that the original youtube CAB has overwritten.
Update 17/11/2008:
Build a CAB that works fine after I hard reset my phone (after umpteen times of hard reset!)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And now you install the YouTube.cab!
At least you can choose the Youtube Panel normally in the Panel display.

Nice work.. But I'm having trouble getting to work. Can you specify exactly which files to install and in what order.
The panel loads, it says "opening" at the bottom for a few seconds and then the desktop goes all white. The taskbar and bottom bar are still visible so it's not a system hang or anything. I just think I may have missed to install something.

You have to install first the Youtube file of zenkinz!
You have to instal it on the device not on the storage card.
And you have to change the youtube.409.mui to your countrycode (for example germany = youtube.407.mui).
You find this file in the windows directory!
Then you install the panel and it is running for me!
I hope it works for you, too!

Thanks, works great you´re the man!

The official youtube panel is not far away anyway.

Which official youtube panel?

I think he's taking about the ad:

at 0:45 there's a youtube panel.
Not sure if that proves a youtube panel is in the making though.. Could be just for illustration purposes.

There will almost certainly be an official Youtube Panel soon. Youtube is owned by Google, who own a rival OS, but this hasn't stopped them making apps for other mobile OSs.

False advertising! Since when does the X1 perform THAT smoothly???

Question:
I have the youtube program installed and works great. What does the other youtube.CAB do? just turn it into a panel?
or does it add something worthy by turning it into a panel?
Just asking cuz i dont need to turn it into a panel if the app works just fine.
Thanks btw.

1. It loads the panel > starts the youtube app.
2a. If you close the youtube app, you get a blank panel.
2b. If you hit the X-panel button, the youtube app keeps running and you go to the panel page.

Is there anyway to update the cab so that youtube automatically quits when you change panels?

When i run the panel it's keep white...
I can't find the youtube.409.mui and i don't know the countrycode for france . I've already installed the first cab...
help plz
[EDIT] no its ok now... Work like a charm

Great panel thanks!

Noob question: How do you edit the .mui file ? I tried with ActiveSync but it doesn't let me do it.

YOu only have to rename it! In the windows directory...

Quick question.
The youtube app referenced on post 1 works great, apart from the annoying 1 pixel white border left and bottom on full screen (on the X1).
Does this panel display version fix that?

Freakin Awesome.. Works great!! thanks guys!

xperia youtube panel
heey
i"ve got the same problem with that white screen
and i did first instal the zenkins and then the panel but i can't find where i can chance my countrycode ( netherlands)

I forgot to change the code and installed both .cab files. Youtube panel is working but when I select a video it just stays on the 'connecting' screen after turning to landscape mode.
Is this because I didn't rename that file?
If so, anyone have a dummies guide to changing it to the UK code?
Thanks
A X1 noob..

you can't do that with file explorer, you can use total commander. download it here http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab

If you keep holding the stylus on the panel above the file you want to move, you can copy and paste where to want.

i like resco explorer, more finger friendly

aaah that explains it all lol. thank you very much

hi , i have a question, how am i can see album picture on the screen then i am in Music and playing mp3 file.
thanks

I hope it's not an issue to link to another forum, where I found the answer to Atron100's question (had the same "problem" when I got the phone). See here:
http://discuss.pocketnow.com/showthread.php?p=78658
Basically you need to embed the album art into the mp3 file. If you follow the guidelines given by one of the users there, you'll be gravy. It's exactly what I did and was pretty easy.

You can also copy the artwork into the album folder with the name folder.jpg and it will use it.

HTC Album crah

Hi There.
I have a problem with HTC Album, everytime I press the ALBUM command to change the album witch I want to see, the system starts to list foldres and then the white screen with ERROR REPORT appears, and I can't change the album.
Somebody here have a issue like this? (Sorry everyone my english sucks)
I search for a CAB or a registry correction to HTC Album, but I didn't find it.
Thanks.

Have you tried hard reset?

I tried hard reset twice.
The last one I deleted all folders with photos from my sd card before perform Hard reset, and then I tried to use HTC album. The issue continues.

Solution
The HTC Album finally works!
The solution? I removed IGO8 folder from my SD card.
But, I couldn't understand why a GPS software crash the HTC album.
I like IGO very much, but it's really incompatible with HD2.

iGO has nothing to do with it.

If IGO8 hasn't influence with it, why after I removed IGO folder from SD card de htc album returned to work?
You just said a simple phrase but didn't explain a thing. Try to be a little bit useful.

I have the same behavior since I've installed Igo 8.3.4 . When I open Htc Album it starts to look for every image file I have in my storage card and when it gets to the Igo8 folder, the album just closes whitout any warning. I'm using Dutty Leo HolyGrail R0 rom, but I don't think that it's a rom problem, since it started right after I installed Igo 8.3.4
Maybe if there's a way to order Htc album not to look into Igo8 folder this problem would be solved... Is there any way to do such thing?
Edit: As a matter of fact I've checked and the problem is not with HTC Album, it is with WM album... So if there's any way to make the windows album skip or just not read the Igo8 folder, I assume it would solve my problem.

HTC Album is horrible. It will auto-search all possible images and videos in the device. Use other image/video manager tools.

hum... all right but suppose I do like the album the way it is, so still I need to find a way to tell windows album searcher to ignore Igo8 folder... Any help with that?

Go into registry and make the htc album ignore the iGO folder and the problem is solved.
64. Disable Unwanted Folders From Showing in HTC Album
Don't you find it annoying that HTC Album Shows lots of images you don't need to see when you select Albums like GPS poi icons? Now you can tell HTC Album to ignore certain folders.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/HTCAlbum/Ignored and add a NEW STRING VALUE
Eg if there is iGO8 in the root of the Storage Card you would create a NEW STRING VALUE with Value name iGO8 and Value Data \Storage Card\iGO8
This will include all subfolders inside the iGO8 folder. Save and reset.

Oh, sorry about that!!! I swear I used the search tool but I think I was just too sleepy to really find it at 3:00 AM...
Well, I'm going to try it and I'll tell you here if it works for me, but I have one doubt: How do I insert the inverted slash (\) with the htc keypad? It seems to have only the regular slash (/). Does it make a difference?
And thanks very much for your help!!!

Yes, I noted that / is there. I meant how can I insert \. You see, is the same slash, but backwards. I'm just asking because I don't know if the registry "sees" a difference between:
\Storage Card\iGO8
and
/Storage Card/iGO8
Got it? I mean: If i type like the last example I gave to you, the registry will "understand" it right? Or will it only work if I type with the \, like in the first example?

On the second page of the symbols is the \.
When you press the symbol button there's a 1/2 on the left. Press it.

It's not the registry that uses these values. Think of the registry as a database - nothing more.
Anyway, I did mean \, not /. It's on page 2 of the numbers and symbols keyboard ("12#", "1/2").

Oh, thank you both for your lightining fast answers!!!! I gess you all realized I'm a noobie here, hehe... And I'm now glad to say that my problem is gone and the album works like it should now!!!
Thank you very much!!!

Japanese characters in Mediascape?

Hello,
i recently bought X10 and so far i can say that im really happy with phone but i found one thing which kinda bugs me.
I listen to a lot of japanese songs so thx to it a lot of files have original names and it looks that Android can handle them without a problem, even so 3rd party aps but not Mediascape.
Is it possible to make it show them correctly or am i stuck with other aps?
Cheers

I've got several Japanese songs on my X10, and they show up correctly in MediaScape...
What's the encoding on the text used to name the files? Try renaming them (with the same name) using UNICODE.
