Changing string in Web search today plugin - Palm Treo 750

Guys, did anyone had a success doing that?
I've tried playing with
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"="en"
"Home"="http://www.google.com/palm?q="
but I had no success so far.
Anyone tried it?

I believe you have to hex edit the WebSearchPlugin.dll in \windows directory someone has already made a nice one with commands and stuff at pdaphonehome

Simply changing the URL works for me?

Heh..
Changing the url does not work for me. May be it is because I use the plugin on Wizard. All I want to change is to have web pages from search results to be displayed in xhtml...
Is there a way? Which hex editor should I use?

Which install file did you use?

I
I've usede the original dll dumped from Treo. I've just copied the dll to /Windows and did the nessesary registry record in .../Software/Microsoft/Today/...
I've tried to modify the library myself using 3rd party hex editor, but I could not fine any reference to google search string in the file.
I would like to have a search string like http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict=

Can you post the DLL?

Try try this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"="xhtml"
"Home"="http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict="
So if i searched for tree it would then read
http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict=xhtml&q=tree
The search URL is as follows: "home"+"lang"+"&q="+search
Is there a reference in the DLL to &q=?

Some handy search URLS
Google - xhtml
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"="xhtml"
"Home"="http://www.google.com/xhtml/search?mrestrict="
AltaVista
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"=""
"Home"="http://www.altavista.com/web/results?itag=ody"
Live.com
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Palm\Today\SearchPage]
"Lang"=""
"Home"="http://mobile.live.com/search/results.aspx?__redir=1"

Nope, changing registry does not help
I have attached the dll and reg files that I've used to instal the plugin. I've created the url search string registry manually after installing the files attached.

You'll need to install an app like tre090pReg editor or TotalCommander. With these you can explore and modify the reg files.
BE BLOODY CAREFULL

Just import your REG file using some registry editor, Resco for example.

How do I open Bookmarks in File Explorer/Total Commander? {WinMo 6.1 issue}

Hello, I have tried EVERYTHING.
I have tried putting down the parameters you guys gave me and even using the registry change cab, I even used a registry editor myself to fix my file associations problem.
But it is impossible for me to open the bookmark aka URL file.
Can someone help me?
Is my only way to make URL files open via PIE or Opera Browser is to reformat and hardware reset my phone?
Can someone please give step by step guide to do this. Someone has helped me before but it seemed to do nothing.
When I click on any url file, it brings me to the associated browser but than it brings me to an error page, WHY DOES IT NOT BRING ME TO THE ONLINE WEBSITE?

[Q] How to edit a cab file?

Hiya
So I figured that i better go a learn how to use this UC that i find extremly clever - however there's a few cab's that i would love to change abit to my use, for instance dont make it install all the apps its trying and so on...
However i dont really know where or how read the file - ive downloaded WinCE trial version and oped the cab, but wich file type does what and so on? Ive tried abit, deleting some program files however i still need to edit the install files to tell the cab not to install the program at all, so are there anybody out there who can guide me abit on the right direction?
And es ive allready searched this site and google, but i havnt found anything usefull :?

Which program is it that you're trying to edit?
Have you tried editing the config file that lists the cabs to be installed?

If you by config file means the xml file then yes - so far so good - however now im having trouble rebuilding the cab - ive tried several times using both winrar and alZip but i cant seem to rebuild the file correctly - it dosnt even have the right size even though all ive done is to extract the files and rebuild em - what am i doing wrong?
Perhaps im just too dumb to get it - but when i open the cab file in WinCE it dosnt seem to display the _setup.xml at all - so how do i edit that file and use WinCD to rebuild the cab file?

Bump!

use any Cab manager to do that
or cabwiz (microsoft command line utilty)
also try this : http://nedge2k.com/cab-o-matic
or, you could PM the files and i'll cab'm up

Hmm i allready have WinCE - i just dont know how to change the cab and repack it, perhaps you could help on that?
Ive also seen that link under my search - however the site just says: "down for bug squashing..." so not much help there anyway
Thx for the offer - however the main reason is i want to learn how to do it properly
CabWiz i has been unable to find for download :?

to edit a cab, you need to have the WCM file. you can also unpack it using a Package Creator (v2.7) makes the changes needed, and create the cab again with the modifications using your CECabManager

Hmm yea i understand that much - however i fail to see how i can edit anything in WinCE when i dont have the xml file when i open the cab? I do understand the i need to unpacvk the cab, ive dont the with different programs, ive also edited the xml file to fit my request but i simply cant repack the cab with my edited xml file and get it to work? What am i doing wrong?
//M
CeCABManager supports importing information from an *.inf file.. not xml files..
you can just provide the info on the cab to the app and it'll pack it for you..

Registry key in .cpr file

Does anyone know how to refere to a registry in a .cpr file.
For example, if I want to add a text on my titanium plugin, and in my registry it's in located in HKLM\Software\whatever\text1, how can I get the .cpr to read the value inside that string?
For some reason wm6.5 knows that it can get values from the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome key, but how can I get it from another key?
Would be realy awesome if someone could help, that way there would be quite a bit more to edit in wm6.5...
Does nobody have any idea?
I read that it is the same language as in .xml files, so how do I add a registry value to a text line?
don't know the format or the program which use cpr files
but if the cpr file include the "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome"
then I would change it
if not then the program which interp the cpr files prob have
the parth hard-coded in it's binary code

I know the reg. path is in the binary code of a program,
but can't read or edit that.
But, my question is if someone knows the .xml code to read from a registery value.
fe: the code for a picture is [ source="\Windows\photo1.png" ]
to read something from a .dll file is [ InnerTextType="Resource" Text="shellresapps.dll,18149" ]

How to delete a registry value with a .reg file?

Hi XDA ppl,
How to delete a registry value with a .reg file? The standard hyphen approach doesn't seem to work. I tried it like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItem"=-
This should delete the TestItem but it refuses to do so. Does anyone knows the trick?
I don't know how to do it with a reg key, but you can do it this way with a mortscript:
Code:
RegDelete("HKLM","\Software\Test","TestItem")
here you go!

Sounds odd! can you tell me the heading of your provxml file? it is xml or provxml? what tool do you use to import? can you post the actual code of the file?
Hi, usually I create a cab file from .reg files with CeRegEditor (ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl). If I create new keys/ values everything works just fine. Just deleting doesn't work.
In the end I installed the kilmist registry editor trial to double check cause it can import .reg files directly, but its the same problem: deleting doesn't work.
Here the exact code of the files I tried:
-- File 1: create a test key with 2 values... works fine ------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=dword:00000001
"TestItemTwo"=dword:00000001
-- File 2: try to delete 1 value... fails ---------------------------------
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
"TestItemOne"=-
-- File 3: try to delete the whole key... fails too ----------------------
REGEDIT4
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Test]
your files seem ok.
while you find th solution I recommend to add postxml to your cab to delete the unwanted keys. nocharacteristic and nopar should allow you to delete whatever needed.
two hints: check the encoding of the files and check the order. make one cab for the additions and another for the substractions just in case the cab tries to delete the key before it is created. sorry i can not help more !! please, pm when you find what was it
Try:
Save your .reg file as Unicode not ANSI, start your .reg file with
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
In the first line. And leave one blank empty line at the end of the .reg file.
Did it work?

Nope, doesn't work either.
I put Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 in the first line, encoded it 8-bit unicode and made sure theres a blank line at the end (always did that). all to no avail.
Btw, I'm running WM 6.1 on a TP2. I really wonder if its working at other phones / WM versions, or this is a "universal" problem.
thx anyway, Tobias
