I'm using this medical program UpToDate a lot at work, but it only works well if IE is my default browser. But, except for this, I prefer to use Opera.
Can someone please make a script/program to temporarily set IE as def. browser? What I'm thinking of is a Mortscript which, if started,
- first sets IE as default,
- then runs UpToDate,
- if UpToDate exits: set Opera as default browser.
Would this, or another solution be possible? Can someone help me with this, I have no experience in programming.
To be clear, UpToDate is working for me (it's not the problem with a white screen you find elsewhere on this forum), but if I open an article for the second time in one session, it open in Opera, and links cannot be clicked anymore. Others are having this problem as well.
BUMP?
Can someone help me with a short script to temp set IE as standard browser and upon exit set Opera back as default?
Thanks
I`m also looking for this ...
Cheers~
There is a thread on which several solutions are posted..... a quick way to do this is go to internet explorer, under tools option other select tell me if IE is not default browser....., then exit ie, then lauch again ie, you should see a windows that says IE is not the default browse.....would you like it to be?... or something like that, select yes and the fire up uptodate..... in a second I will post the link to the thread with other automatic solutions....
Anyway, there is a problem about scrolling in uptodate, but there is also a solution, FStouchl.... If you know mortscript, could you write a mortscript that launches fstouchl when uptodate is lauched and close it when it closes? thanks...
link to the thread, here you go....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5661154#post5661154
anyhow, I am on dutty's HG1.7 21898 and I do not need to use any kind of hacks to run uptodate, not even selct ie as default, only fstouchl .... just my 2 cents.
Thanks for replies.
The fix you gave is functional if UTD is not working at all (white screen bug). UpToDate is running well for me, but there is aother small bug if I open an article for the second time in one session, it opens in Opera. This can be solved by making IE one's def. browser. So I was looking for a script to temporary do this.
Do you experience this bug as well?
It's not a major task, so I'll write you an application to do it. I'll have a play around and try and get something together for you this afternoon. Just one thing - what's the UpToDate exe called?
OK thanks. The UpToDate exe is named UpToDatePPC50.exe, and for me it is located in \Storage Card\Program Files\UpToDate.
Could you please make it revert back to Opera as default browser upon exit of UpToDate?

Basically, you'll need to rename the current UpToDate exe to something else (not decided yet) and I'll call this application UpToDatePPC50.exe. That way, your shortcuts will run this application instead. It will read the default browser (in case you ever change it to something else) and then set it to be IE. Then it will run the program and finally revert your default browser to the original when you exit.
It's pretty straight-forward, but I'll PM you with a link when it's ready for you to test. Once you're happy, I'll attach it to this thread as a zip. Hopefully, I'll get something to you later today

This has actually turned out to be a much bigger job than expected. When I first saw this I was under the impression that the default browser was identified by 1 registry key. Unfortunately, that's not the case. There's a LOT of registry keys that are affected by your choice of default browser.
I'll still do this, but it won't be soon as I already have some major projects underway. All I can suggest is subscribing to this thread so you get an update when I've done something.
Johncmolyneux , I hope that you will not forget about this !
Cheers~
I now use the Mortscripts that are available for this for using UpToDate, they work fine, and only one extra tap is needed. You will find them if you search this forum for UpToDate.
I`ve did but no luck .. Maybe I`m missing something . Could you be more precise ?

I'm glad you found a way to do this. I've just not had the time to even look into it, so it's a relief to me that you've got it sorted. Nice one mate
To clear things up: we are talking about the "white screen issue"* here, not about a license issues or things like that.
There are several solutions here on XDA for the white screen problem. I've tried them all, and now it is working. I'm not complete sure which one solved it for me though .
I'm almost sure this worked for me:
2: Install dr. Tom's UptoDate fix (which is a .cab.).
3: After that install Mortscript 4.2, also a .cab (to be able to run the scripts)
4: Download the two scripts and place them on your device. (one for uptodate and one for internet explorer)
5: Open the uptodate script in a text editor and check if directs to the correct location of the uptodate executable (depending on if you installed uptodate on your device or storage card). Modify and save if necessary.
6: Run the uptodate script to start upto date. Run the IE-script to start IE. You will notice IE does not work after running the UTD script, untill you run the IE script again. And vice versa.
Good luck!

Does anyone know if there is an application (EXE file) within WM6 or WM5 that executes the "programs" and "settings" list, without tapping the Start button?
Also, on a soft reset, how can you make a single application load everytime?

Anyone? I am sure there is a simple solution that I am overlooking. With a little help here I can fix a couple of problems with an iPhone emulator that can be incorporated into any WM6 Rom. I am currently running this now, but these fixes would make it perfect, and would almost do away with the Windows Mobile today screen. I am pretty amazed with this so far, The new iPhone today screen perfectly mathes what you would see on the apple website, and I am not noticing any signifigant lag time between apps that are loaded this way.
To make an application load on a soft reset, just place it in the windows/start up folder or place a link to it in that folder.

Faria, memory cannot serve you right. You are already at 97% capacity and the only way to get the information you require is to do a soft reset at which point you will get down to 75%. Or in the alternation upgrade.....
Is this the emulator you are talking about?

Nothing as of yet. Without recompiling the software, each button on the iPhone today screen requires an .exe file, executable, to launch that particular service or program. To make things easy, I wanted to know how to create an exectuable file that will launch contacts, programs folder, and settings folder, with these, the normal WM6 today screen would not be needed anymore.
So Far....

hello everyone, long time member of howardforums and just joined xda and find some very usefull info, thank you all. i ran into a small problem last night. i have a tilt , not flashed but i have installed the htc home screen and everything worked great. last night i tryed to install the touchflo program found in a few places in this forum and it didn't work but thats when the interesting stuff happen....after deleting all touchflo cab files and restarting the tilt every time at startup it gives me a warning " FTouchFlo.exe cannot be open, its either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components can not be found. try reinstalling or restoring file." ????? and now the icon that used to be under the clock for favorite people that would send me their pics so i can just one touch dial is GONE? tryed installing the cab for the htc homescreen again but the same....there is a music short cut that lets me launch the music player that wasn't there before? i downloaded the htc home plugin customisor and even when i set for 6 icons on the bottom of the clock it still just gives me 5?
at the end of the day i would like to have the touchflo program but its not a big deal if i dont, i would however really like to have the pic dialer back on my screen as its really convinient to dial my fav people with it.thanks in advance

Keys are in the registry. To access and change the registry you need a registry viewer/editor. There are many but for simple "everyday" use this is a good one:

Be careful though delete the wrong things and you'll end up needing a hard reset.

PHM downloads as a .MSI windows installer. So it will not install properly unless you have your device connected via active sync when you run the downloaded file. So connect your device via usb cable. Let active sync connect and update. Then while still connected run the installer download. During the process a message will pop up on your device. If a choice is offered it will be ok to install to storage card if you have one.
Cheers for now.

Hello,
Just wondering which browser is better
Opera Mini - http://www.operamini.com/
Or
Opera Mobile - http://www.opera.com/products/mobile/
Or
Opera Mobile HTC Diamond Version -(Not Sure If I Can Post Link So I Just Wont)
Im Not Sure If There's Even A Difference With The Diamond Version And The One On The Opera Website but I thought I go ahead and ask??
What Is The Difference In The Two or Three
I Really Like Opera Mini The Pages Load Up Really Fast - and I only have the T-mobile 5.99 internet plan
But Which One Is Better???
Thanks
Opera 9.5 Beta Rocks!!
i have tried all the diff diamond versions available. They all come down to one thing. Proper performance stability is not there. Opera Diamond crashes now and then on extensive browsing.
But not since i started using Opera 9.5 Beta. Its really stable and i must say optimised for other devices.
I even changed the Opera 9.5 Beta.lnk to Opera 9.5 so i dont see the beta. keke
Opera mini....never really was a big fan of those Java apps...atleast not on me htc
I found page rendering poor on Opera 9.5, Had to scroll to see the whole page, fonts seemed to be out of proportion. So I kept Opera 9.5 on my Universal and gave up on it altogether on my Elf.

You Are Right About Java its not the best thing

Mini - but you need to work on it!
I use mini all the time - I've just gone back to my elf after trying out kaisers and nikes for a couple of months... The speed of mini means that you get the same performance without 3G!
I've got a shortcut to Mini, so that I can launch it from an icon or menu without loading java first, and a script that makles it work with url links from emails.
Important though is what version you get - if you get the default, you get an unsigned version, and prompted to allow web access every time you launch - big nono... so go to mini.opera.com on your phone, then select download an older or alternative version, and you get the option to download a signed version, which you can trhen use without being prompted every time.
Done this way, mini works brilliantly.

Opera Mini setup stuff
Because Opera Mini is cached on Operas servers, you get 3G speeds from a GPRS connection - honest! It's enought to persuade me to go back to my Elf from a Nike, because I think the wifi is more useful than 3G and a slidy keypad!
You need Java or Jbed installed
Clear out all exitsing java apps by deleting the contents of Windows\AppDB
Open Java
From the Menu, select Install..Browser
Go to mini.opera.com
Don't install the version on screen (it has no certificate, is unsigned), click on 'install a previous version' - then you'll get a list of versions that are signed - select the Multiple Certificates one.
Go through the install, check its working, and exit
The attached shortcut will launch opera mini. It assumes that Opera Mini is the first Java app installed. If you have other java apps installed, check the appdb folder and modify the shortcut (copy it to your PC, open Notepad and drag the shortcut into it)
The attached CAB makes Opera Mini the default browser for URLs in mail links etc... it uses Mortscript, which is included. Just install it, but then copy the attached OMInvokeAndPasteScript.mscr to overwrite the existing one in Windows (The new version of mini puts 'www' in front of addresses, this script is modified to remove it when pasting a full link in)
Good luck.

Very Nice!!! Thanks For Sharing I Really Like The Shortcut Is there A way to change the way the icon looks (the internet explorer image)
Thanks
i also use Opera Mini on my Elf all th way... need not to say th advantages, Opera Mobile was just way too much memory hogging n slow-responsive!!
Mini all the way
i have been a fan of opera mini for quite some time now..and the speeds i get over gprs are decent enough for browsing ( and posting here on xda) and downloading small files...
i think however, the choice of Java used does impact the experience...but that is another discussion altogether..
the product is free, with 'almost' regular updates, with hardly any issues for me...

wow - top work TT ... mini is great! I tried and liked Opera Mobile 9.5 ... for about 15 seconds until I'd run out of memory :-S
question regarding your tips on how to change the icon. i too would like to have an opera icon in my HTC Today screen instead of the IE ... but unless I'm missing something, the only way I could do this would be to have the full opera installed and to refer to it in the shortcut file to get the icon.
as the whole thing is several MB, I was pleased to delete it from my device to free up memory. so what's the trick to get an opera icon? does someone (cleverer than me) need to write a little 10kb exe file with the right icon? or has someone already done so ;-)
thanks a lot for the great tips...

you can also rename the file to Opera Mini.exe
Let Me Know If It Works

Hey!
Try the attached 5.5KB Shell4Icon.dll and tell me if it works !
This is just a res_hacked dll !
And I just thought it would be great if someone expert made from scratch
a *.dll only with resources
as a shell containing the icons we need for shortcuts!
Anyway,
the ID # for the Opera icon is 20797, so your link should be like this:
Code:
"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_ ?\Windows\Shell4Icon.dll,-20797
There is also an icon for Messenger you might use, with ID # 20298!
Regards!
ps:Since the poll shows OperaMini as the winner , I'm attaching a combination of 2 OEM Packages for those who want to have OperaMini precooked in their rom!
[Both OperaMini&Esmertec Jbed are older versions but they are lighter than the newer and save enough ROM space!Try&see!]
kokotas
nice one. actually i just found a solution myself! i forgot all about the nice HTC Home Customizer here on xda ... just installed that temporarily and used it to change the icon to a .png file I found on the internet. easy!
to elaborate a bit further about what i tried this morning (when i should have been working...)
i tried creating my own little exe file with the icon i wanted, to use for the link to opera mini. i used the mortscript.exe, copied it to my desktop and used some software i downloaded (iconchanger38.exe) to change the icon to an opera one.
when viewed on the desktop, it had an opera icon.
when viewed from GSFinder, it had an opera icon.
however, when i tried to select it as a button in my HTC Home launcher, you get the list of programs (where does this list come from? there's no obvious way of browsing to other files that it hasn't found) and there, bizarrely, i now had two choices ... one with IE icon, and one with MortScript icon! neither of which was really what i was looking for.
the program list doesn't list files, with extensions, just a list of programs. i got fed up trying to figure out how to hack this and gave up ...
... until it occurred to me to try the HHC solution which works well.
cheers

Hi guys!
tailazoom told me here that tomtom 7 creates a slow refresh of icons after soft resets or long standby periods...
I tried to uninstall it and everything worked well again.
I'd like not to revert on tomtom 6, which don't have this issue, so the question is: what ver.7 makes to create random 4-5 sec. freezes?
Is there any fix for it?
Thanks!

Go to this url, you have everything about tt.

Good luck!!!
Half fixed!
As I thought, the problem was caused by icons.
I simply created a new folder in \Windows\Start Menu\ called SD programs and moved all the links of sd installed apps there.
No more problems on Start->Programs.
The issue remains when I first access SD Programs. Device freezes for 10 seconds, then continue working.
The only idea I have now is to create an executable with the right icon that simply launches the program... So it would work...
Another little step:
after creating the new folder everything worked good, except while accessing that folder.
So I searched some launcher and I found VJBrisk which is useful to use an intermediate exe.
But when I replace in Start->Programs the links with the ones pointed to VJBrisk, I obtain the VJBrisk icon, not the one linked.
So, how can I change those icons?
The alternate idea was to create an exe which simply execute the program, and that contains the correct icon. Something similar may be made with MortScript, but it seems a little tricky to do...
Any suggestion?
I have yet to see it posted so heres how to skip the MEGA BLOAT on the fuze.ATT tried VERY hard to prevent it this time around.
I have tried every screen from hard reset. From what Ive found this is the only way to do it.
1.Wait for the tap here to customize.
2.Go through the screen alignment
3 skip or set pass word.
4.When it says your done and tap the screen to start WM get ready to reset
5. The absolute second you touch the screen(use your finger and have your stylus ready by the reset hole) hit the stylus reset. (if you see customization start your too late and must start over)(hard reset by holding volumedown and the button in the center of the scroll wheel while pressing the stylus reset)
6. When your device starts TF3d will NOT be in your today Items
7.Go to today settins and disable everything
8.Use file explorer to go to windows and find PT_Manila_Reg .cab and run it
9.Run MSFT_Security.cab
10.run the Opera cab called WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.cab (only WM6_PPC_HT… shows up in File Explorer) or you won't have the Opera browser.
You now have no bloat and TF3D
You must also install the opera cab in windows for the internet tab to work.
but does everything work?
i found on my hermes that certain stuff didnt work properly if i went about it that way

So far yes
Ive been testing for an hour. All the cabs from customization are posted in the windows folder. T
he only thing you lose i see so far are the folders in programs. For all the bloat Ill gladly recreate some folders.
so this is supposed to get rid of the At&t tab in touchflo 3d??
because i did it an the tab is still there...or what exactly does it do?? 9IM A NOOB!!)

As far as I can tell we are getting everything else except the stuff you dont want by skipping customization.
If you want stock and know how to flash NATF's rom is a good alternative. He has done a good job of removing the junk permanantly. From what I have read his rom is pretty solid.
I will probably continue my tilt line of ROMs on the fuze soon. I always base mine off of ATT's most current roms and leave all ATT settings intact.
Does anyone know the name of the CAB for Opera in the windows folder? It does not start off as Opera. Thanks...
UPDATE: Found it.

Opera doesn't load if you skip the bloat. What is the cab called? I couldn't find it and ended up finding a newer version on this board and used that cab, but I would still like to know. It was driving me crazy.

It is called WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.cab. All you see in file explorer is "WM6_PPC_HT..." so it's impossible to tell what it is without running it. I installed Total Commander to find it.

The reset is a small button on the bottom of the Fuze, to the right of the usb port underneath the headphones symbol.
Beat me to it... Yea, The title is too long and you don't see the opera part. WOW, what a difference when you follow theses steps. It even puts the YouTube app on the internet TAB. The fuze runs ALOT smoother and has WAY more RAM/ROM. Good find!
do I press reset when I touch the screen, or the moment I see something change on the screen from me touching it?
WHen it starts up, am I supposed to see a customization wizard? Or did I fail?
edit: failed.crap

Yeah the second you see the screen change you have to reset. Once you see the wizard you went too far. If you see it hard reset and try again.
Thanks for this info. I tried flashing some of the ROMs specifically the NATF ROM since I wanted to keep the AT&T theme but not some of the AT&T bloatware but one thing I noticed accross the board is that cellular video does not work. I have checked proxy and connection settings and managed to get MEdia Net to work but CV always fails. Opera states the fuze is not a 3G phone and PIE only shows XML codes. Alhtough I don't use CV much I still wouldn't want it broken. I suppose this is my alternative for now.
Ahhh, I love the internet and being able to find the answer to any question you might have haha. Thanks for the tip on Opera, I was definitely missing that.
About the only thing I can think of that was kinda cool from the AT&T pack was the Cellular Video. Can that be installed by itself?

Cellular Video is only a website and can be access through cellularvideo.cingular.com
Theres something called PT_BlackSCR.cab
I installed that too. Err..what was it? I'm guessing it was the ATT_tabbed TODAY theme? I forgot to check if that was there before I installed it.
