On the Touchflo internet tab, m.yahoo.com appears immediately below the sphere and "Launch Browser" words which causes the browser to navigate to m.yahoo.com when pressing the sphere.
Is there any way to change the m.yahoo.com for a different address?
Also, MySpace appears above all of my bookmarks on the internet tab page. Is there a way to remove MySpace or add other websites?
You should be able to change this if you open opera, click on the menu tab on the lower right, and click settings. There should be a start page option where you can change what page starts up when you start up opera.
Hope that helps.
That does indeed change the start page for opera but clicking on the sphere above the words "Launch Browser" and m.yahoo.com causes Opera to open at m.yahoo.com and not at the designated start page. After doing this, I have to press the home key within Opera to get it to navigate to the desired start page.
There seems to be some form of yahoo tie-in that I would like to remove.

You can change what the default page by editing the InternetPortal-en-US.xml file located in the \Application Data\Manila\ folder. In the <Banner> section, edit the NavigateURL to whatever page you want it to open by default and change the Text to match.
e.g.
NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com/"
Text="Google"
If you remove the NavigateURL line completely, clicking on the globe will open your default Opera home page.
Great...but the file is read only and I cannot work out how to edit it or replace it or delete it so that I can replace it with an edited version. Any thoughts?
I have been askin the same question for a while now with minimal answers. I think I've learned that if you edit favorites within opera, it changes the favorites below the sphere on the TF3D tab.
I received this answer over at ATT forums..its not a step by step but it gives you an idea of where to go. It is relatively self evident if your not bad with computers once you open that file..if you get confused I can probabl walk you through it but I'm not the best either =]
---Originally, on the stock ATT rom with bloat installed I just opened total commander and went to \application data\manila\folder and edited InternetPortal-en-US.xml to tweak it (like change home page, add you tube link, etc.).

Use Total Commander. It will let you remove the Read Only flag and then you can edit the file. (Probably a good idea to change it back to Read Only when you're done.)
Brilliant...thanks for all your help.
These three should help you- they are step by step:

First one is how to change the default tab to set it, second one changes it to whatever Opera is set as for its default and the third is adding an appliocation shortcut to the tab
I am having the same issue, have found the file mentioned, but it isn't in the Manila folder (I don't have a Manila folder at all) its in the Windows folder. I am using Resco Explorer, changed the read only tick but it still won't let me change it. It says it is in Rom and can't be deleted. Also, when I open it with notepad, it just has 3 weired characters in it, not the string about yahoo.
I found I can overwrite the file, which I did with a blank one but it didn't make any difference.
To be clear, it launches to my default home page when "opening browser" from touch flo, but with the keyboard open in landscape mode, I select "web search" and it goes to the yahoo crap. Thats what I am trying to change.
Any suggestions?
BTW I am running the elite rc2 rom

hey, im not se good to english so hope you understand me.
I want at icon on me desktop, where i click, and it will go into at new sms.
where can i find the .exe file i me touch ?
Okay, so if i got that right, you want a shortcut to launch SMS editor, without going trough your inbox, just like on most standard cell phones?
If that is the case, you'll need to create a new shortcut. The best way to do it is to use a file explorer allowing to create shortcuts, but thye easiest is to create a new text file on your computer, neme it something like SMS.txt, open it with your notepad or whatever text editor you use, and paste the following into it:
Code:
39#"tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body
now save the file, transfer it somewhere to the device ("/windows/start menu/programs" might be a good place) and change its name to SMS.lnk (or whatever you wish, just make sure that the extension is .lnk).
Now about adding it to the "desktop" - it depends on what plugins you use, but if you have a configurable launcher, and from what i understand, you use the Touch, which has a launcher by default, you need to add the shortcut you created to the launcher, just like you add any other program to it (as far as i know in touch it's just a matter of clicking an empty field in the launcher and navigating to the shortcut you created).
Good luck.
I've tried searching for this to no avail. I know this isn't amazingly techie but still suited to this forum section I think: I'm trying to make a .asx file open straight from my list of programs with CorePlayer in full screen on my Touch Pro. I basically have a stream of the BBC News headlines and would like a neat little icon in the programs list which plays them straight out full screen.
There's three things I'd like to do but can't seem to get it working (in order of priority):
1. Shortcut the .asx file to open in Coreplayer - I've tried "\Storage Card\Core Player\player.exe" -"BBC Headlines.asx" and a few other variations but this doesn't seem to work
2. When Coreplayer opens I'd like a switch of some kind in the shortcut to make it go full screen straight away (something like -fullscreen or -full or something I'm guessing)
3. I'd then like the icon to change from the Coreplayer icon to one of my own - say the BBC icon. How do I change a shortcut's icon?
I could use WMP but I much prefer Coreplayer's fullscreen rendering and it seems to open a bit quicker. If WMP is my only option then so be it. Both 2. and 3. still apply.
If I can get this working I'll make a batch of streams with their own icons etc and attach them here for everyone. I've found some neat live TV streams also that would be good to use this with. But mostly having a very quick icon in the list of programs which just spews out the headlines in video would be nice!
Thanks for any help!

use search button, use RESOURCE HACKER to change icons
Thanks for the info. Will check Res Hacker out.
Have searched but struggling. Are there fullscreen / file open parameters available for core player even?
LLOYDY
...................................
try too use cab file. Path storage card/programm files, then you can see coreplayer.If you put file only too storage card dosent work, coreplayer needs device memory,then you can see coreplayer too works. And just click your screen and fullscreen open.hmmm or go to settings man and you find solution... this is unless what do you mean? full screen movies?
No sorry this isn't what I was looking for. I've got Core Player installed fine. I need it to open a file full screen from a shortcut.
Thanks anyway,
LLOYDY
associate .asx files with TCPMP: 'Options/settings/select page/file associations'.
Set TCPMP to open full screen: 'Options/settings/select page/player'
your custom icon must be contained in a .DLL or .EXE file
create a shortcut to your file in a text editor:
63#"\path\file.asx"?\path\icon.exe,0
this should get you started.
I can't help you with the icon for the file part (I'm guessing that's easily solvable though), but doesn't CorePlayer have an option for "Play at open in fullscreen" in the Menu > Tools > Preferences > Player option screen? That seems to work just fine for mine, if I launch a video file from file explorer it opens in CorePlayer and beings to play at full screen.
Sorry for the late reply guys. Excellent info. I'll get round to making a collection of feeds when I get chance.
Cheers!

Hey I tried the icon shortcut, I can't seem to make it work. I put an icon inside a .dll, called it iPodIcon.dll, and I get this:
File not found!
\Windows\iPodIcon.dll,0
Here is my shortcut:
56#"\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe"\Windows\iPodIcon.dll,0
HOLD ON...forgot the question mark thingy.
Changed it to:
57#"\Program Files\TCPMP\player.exe"?\Windows\iPodIcon.dll,0
And it works with a nice iPod icon I found from IconLook.com
It still showed up as "Core" on my homescreen until I did a powercycle.
Thanks!
PS - I will post the .dll if anyone is interested.
I like this default home page that comes with CR's ROM. It has buttons that will expand to list my history, and my favorites.
I'd like to modify this page slightly to add a google search instead of a LIVE search, but anytime I try to modify this page, it no longer works! What I mean is, the buttons that open my history and favorites will no longer work. They instead open my file explorer to the windows/ directory...
Surely I must be able to modify this web page somehow?
Hi,
I am running default ROM which came with my sprint TP2 (6.5) . Upon installing google pocket pc youtube app , looks like the htc youtube app got removed. How can i restore the htc youtube app? Please help.

Open File Explorer and go to "My Device -> Windows"
Wait a sec for it load up.
Scroll to the bottom and look for the file "YouTube", the list is in alphabetical order so go to the 'Y' section.
Once you found it you may see two of them, either one should work.
Press and hold on the YouTube icon and click "copy"
Scroll back to the top of the list and find the "Start Menu" folder.
Open it, then go to "programs" there you should see all apps that you would see on your start menu, at the bottom right of your screen hit "menu", select "edit" and then tap "Paste shortcut".
If you still have the Google app in there it might tell you there's already a shortcut called "YouTube" in there, if so rename the Google version one to say something like "Google YouTube" then paste the original HTC version in there and rename it to say "HTC YouTube" to prevent it from being overwritten again.
Hope I helped

Unrooted stock.
I cannot copy a link from the browser on this phone, neither the stock browser nor chrome. It just hangs and FCs.
Anyone else experience this? Any solutions?
I have used the share function in the past but sometimes the links are pretty messy like that.
TIA
I just copied and pasted the URL from stock and Opera browsers, then pasted them into new browser windows. No problems here - touched the URL to select, then long-pressed to do a Copy, etc.

Are you running stock? For me, chrome just FCs if I try to copy a URL and I just tried it again on the stock browser and it seems to copy but when I long press to paste I get a clipboard pop up under the URL bar and when I touch that nothing happens.
My other ICS device is the Sony Tablet S and this is not an issue on that device with any browser, eg stock, chrome, dolphin, skyfire etc.
Might have to give Opera another try, gave it up years ago but hopefully I can just use it for copy/paste.

Sorry to hear that - I wonder if you are running something that possibly intercepts clipboard events? I'm running stock and once rooted (using the quick method) for making a Titanium backup, but unrooted later that same day - so, stock and unrooted right now on my Galaxy S III 32GB.
I did the copy/paste test in both the stock browser and Opera. I've moved to Opera as my default browser because it word-wraps page text dynamically when I zoom in or out (no pinching, Apple - don't sue me! NO PINCHING!!).
*ahem*
On the stock browser, I pulled down the URL bar and touched the URL once to select the entire address, then touched on that selection until the clipboard panel appeared below the notification pane. Clicked the Copy icon to the right of the scissors icon, then opened a new browser window from the Menu, selected the default URL text from a single touch, held down my finger on the selected text until the clipboard panel appeared and hit the Paste icon to the right of the Copy icon. Worked great.
Something else that's neat is if you select text and then touch next to that, you'll get a text selection arrow. Touch on the arrow itself briefly and a popup offers "clipboard" as one action - if you click that, your clipboard cache is shown in scrollable form at the bottom of the display.
