I used Total Commander.

You can also transfer the css via Active Sync to the PC. Then remove the write protection and edit the file. Then save it to a different folder and copy it back to the device. That worked fine for me.

How did you get Total Commander to let you do this? I've been trying and had no luck so far. I've copied the file to a different directory on the phone and the PC, but I'm not having any luck overwriting the original file.
This is on the Cavalier though, but it shouldn't be any different.
Any help would be appreciated

Hi, In Total Commander you can switch into 2 window mode. You can copy and overwrite the css files from one windows to another. Similar as on PC.

Thanks, but I've tried that.
* I have the new CSS on my memory card.
* Have teh second window set to \Windows
* Select the new css file and go file-copy
* the "copy/move " window comes up and I hit OK
* conirmation window "overwrite: \windows\... with \storage card\..." and I hit "Overwrite"
* "Confirm" windows pops up saying "Cannot ccopy or move file!"
Is there anything I should have done first?

Do you have your Mail application switched off? Look at Task manager. Or turn Off/On phone and try it to copy again.

I've tried that, and still no go. So I need to make some security change?

Has anyone tried playing with the HTML templates to change the look entirely?

nice
Hi everyone nice tip!!!! But I have 2 question:
if u please post all the read_style files in windows cause I edited everything and I have sone problems.
Second question:
I see the 7pt in sms and email inbox but when I write a sms the font remains bigger than 7 is it possible to change the font when I write a new sms too? Thanx!

pict
here itis the problem

This font hacks look great. Does anyone know how to shrink the fonts being used in the message list view and the folder lists? I find I can only see 4 message headers at a time on Wm6 / Q9.. Horrible use of space. Same with folders list, font is massive. I'm assuming it is one of the dozens of .css files in that windows directory.

@zipreddictive: ... edit the compose_style.(langcode).css ...
@tommytuna: ... it's impossible ... or you found a developer to write a new app for this

Hi - I edited the compose style and now the new message fonts look good to. Still can't figure out how to get the message list to tighten up. Argghh.. So useless with 4 messages at a time when you can easily get 6-7 with tightening up that screen.

Creating HTCCPL application shortcuts?

I am struggling a little here and don't know why this isn't working, I was hoping someone has been through this before and knows how to do it
OK, I understand the registry settings needed to add applets to the settings pages for HTC applications. You create two registry keys and increment the 'TotalApplets' registry value to include enough for all the 'applet extensions'. I have backward engineered some existing ones to see this. Now I am trying to add another application without just creating a physical shortcut file. I have created an OEM package that has the following .rgu file:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM]
"SMSInboxThreadingDisabled"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\SMS Mode]
"Group"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet16]
"CmdLine"=""
"Name"="SMS Mode"
"Path"="SMS.exe"
"Title"="SMS Mode"
I have then built my ROM and the Icon doesn't appear on the Settings, System page. The application is there as I can use file manager to browse to it and then execute it. I have verified that all the registry settings are there, however the Icon is not displayed. I know I could simply create a physical shortcut and put it in Start Menu\Settings, however I would prefer to get it working this way, and it's bugging me now...
Any takers?
Oh, its the 'sms.exe' application from ce4arab.com that allows you to change the WM 6.1 threaded SMS view settings.

I did solve it, however it is a bit of a weird one.... The SMS.exe application I was trying didn't have an Icon embedded in the file so when viewed in Explorer (on a PC or on the Wizard) it just looked like a regular .exe file. I simply swapped the file for another Threaded SMS enabler/disable someone else posted and it all worked.
I am not 100% sure it was just the fact the file didn't have an Icon, however that is all I can put it down to.
I have other issues now though; I can't get .NetCF 2.0 to work in my re-cooked 5.2.19588 ROM The Threaded SMS app is a .Net application so it's there and looks pretty, however it doesn't run.........

Default Browser

How do I change the default browser in the homescreen link. Currently it is linked to Opera and I would like the flexibility to change at will.
PS googled for info but couldnt find any.
THANK YOU

you can set the browser you want in \Application Data\Manila\internetportal-??-??.xml
At least, that worked for me.

Thanks. Will try that out. BTW do you know if possible to add items to the TF3D screen beside the Clock, Call History & Appointment?

I'm not much of a tweaker yet, I'm just learning.
I found this solution by accident.

But how shall I change the files there ?
Could you please send your new files ?
thanks
myrin

I have a dutch t-mobile mda vario IV, with stupid t-mobile logo's i'm trying to get rid off so my file won't help you.
I changed the file with total commander.
There's a line in the xml file that tells what browser to open. Change that to the exe file of explorer (think it was \windows\iexlore.exe). That should do the trick.

Total Commander

Hi guys,
sorry for noobiness but i have tried my best searching the forum with no luck.
Basically i'm trying to make an edit to my registry using total commander but cant understand how to change the value.
All i've found in the forum is assistance on how to get to the desired key/sub key etc. I can get to the file fine, just not sure how/what alteration needs doing. Heres the edit i'm attempting:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeLSKText = Contacts
Do i edit 'HomeLSKPath'? and if so to what? Actually it says "Function not supported" when i try that.
Thanks so much for any help you can give me!

you are trying to change value, but you dont what you are suposed to change it to?
Or did I misunderstand?
I think I uderstand that you dont know HOW to change it.. but do you know WHAT you are changing it to?

ok.. I didn;t know Total Commander had a reg editor.
I just played with it, and I highly recommend you get PHM reg editor. Google it. It's free.
If you insist on Total Commander, you should be able to tap and hold the item you want to modify and choose properties.
The current value will be shown.
Change it to what you want it to be.
Please be careful.. if you mess up a value you may need to Hard reset your phone.
You are trying to modify your left softkey in Manilla.. What you posted looks like it's either currently mapped to contacts, or you want to change it to be contacts...

I guess you're trying to edit it with the Notepad button. All you have to do is just double-tap the HomeLSKPath to edit its value

Hey thanks alot for the help guys!
And thanks x51, i downloaded PHM reg editor and its much better than total commander.
Ok so i think i'm pretty sure how to edit the file now, the question is to what?
the edit i'm trying is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
so should i set the HomeLSKPath value (i think its empty at the moment) to this whole line? !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
thanks again

Windows Shell Ext. For Apk's?

Looking for a simple small windows program that will simply show correct icons for .apk's on my PC
I set a default .ico for all my apk's but something showing the correct .ico for apk's would be great.
Is there one available?
Thanks to anyone replying.

There's got to be something??? anyone?
I remember when I played around with a Nintendo DS I found some type of shell extension that would show .nds games icons...
Was really hoping this was out there for .apk's

Really....no one can answer me on this subject....ugh
Either its a dumbass question and the asnwer is so simple anyone reading it just pass's it up, or noone is understanding my subject...OR theres nothing out for pc to do this...maybe i should make something?
Anything guys...**** give me an answer....even a "hey ceaser shut the **** up" would be somthing
Im talking to myself in this thread

Not anymore, i might have a solution for you
first get the image you want to use as an icon and resize it to be EXACTLY 256x256 and in .ico format
then click run in start menu and type regedit
allow UAC if needed
make backup of registry
if you want to just change the icon to know what it is, go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.apk
if it isnt there, right click on the folder and create new key called .apk
check if the (default) entry is blank, if so, then create a new key in the same place as .apk and call it something.Assoc.APK (not tested)
in the new key, create a key called DefaultIcon, and in that create a REG_EXPAND_SZ and put the full path in quotes of the .ico file
tell me if it doesnt work and include screenshots

Thanks for the reply...whats I actually ended up doing is making an .ico of a droid and basically setting the file extension within windows to use that ico with any apk...thanks for the info above though
