Hey guys!
First off just like to say that this is an amazing site and especially for a pocket pc newbie such as my self has enabled me to do great things with my HTC touch pro.
I have downloaded a series of programs from skyscape (medical ppc books) and i added them to the programs tab on the TouchFlo 3D. The prob is, they all have the same icon and no text shows so hard to tell them apart.
I was wondering if there is a way to add a new Tab on the touchflo so that it would work like a folder for all of my skyscape programs with text preferible to distinguish between them. That way i could access the programs with a seperate program tab just for special programs...
Thx in advance and keep up the great work!

The simplest way would be to create a shortcut to the folder the apps are installed in, and copy the folder shortcut to your windows programs folder.
or create a new folder with shortcuts to your apps and then create a shortcut to that folder in the programs group.
There are many other ways it could be done, but this would be the simplest for you, with very little room for making a mistake.
Cheers,

Where did you get your version of skyscape for the touch pro?

Did you pay for skyscape or did you find a cracked version with a keygen somewhere? I can't seem to find it.

Do not ask, direct, instruct, discuss, or mention warez. I.E. trying to get retail software for free.
You have been warned.
sorry....what way should I go about stuff like that?
Warez discussion leads to a ban. No more warnings... the rules are clearly stated, it's nobody's fault but your own if you didn't read them. See you in 3 days...
To the OP:
Check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3125006&postcount=16. It's actually directions on how to remove the AT&T tab from the Fuze's stock ROM, but adding lines to the file mentioned should allow you to add a tab.
Hey folks!
Is there any possibility to use another weather-forecast source for manilaweahter instead of accuweather (default)? Accuweather really doesn´t serve reliable weather information (i know for some cities it does...please dont´t discuss that point here, I think many users are having the same problem here ).
This could be very interesting for many users, i would appreciate your help very much! Personally I would prefer www.wetter.com as my default forecast-engine, it definitely has the most reliable informations for Europe (and the rest of the world too I think )
Looking forward for your answers!
Good question..
Yesssss
VERY good question.
I'm interested,too
Go hack Manila, pretty sure its hidden in there
Off Topic:
Exactly because of this problem I am using G-Weather and switched off Manila Weather because my town is not in there and during business traveling I like to see the weather forcast of my different locations (and Manila weather has by far to many limitations) to get an impression what temperature I have to expect and prepare therefore my suitcase ...
Best regards,
dingolino
http://www.ageye.de/
But then you are losing the nice weather animations in sense and I want to keep this.
The only think I want is that Manila allows another sources to add more cities and to have a better and quicker forecast
I think it is possible to replace the weather service provider, because when I was surfing in the registry I have seen a registry entry "WeatherService.dll" in the manila hive. So, I think it is possible to implement a DLL with the same API which makes calls to the wetter.com service.
Happy xmas!
Sebastian
thats some really good food for thought and hacking... i would also be interested in something like this...
gogogo, new news here?
No, but yesterday I tried to copy the DLL "windows\WeatherService.dll" with total commander to my storage card to have a look into it, but I had an error while copying it and I had no time to further investigate it.
Maybe some can post here a copy of it.
I am using Manila-Version 2.5.19211619.0. The DLL should only be taken from this Manila release.
*push* *
Maybe you could not copy the file because it's in use. Try to turn off HTC Sense in the today screen first, and then copy the file. Maybe that works.
I already turned off HTC Sense, but I can't copy it (access denied) neither with total commander nor with resco file explorer.
Any ideas?
The file resides in ROM, so you'll probably need to extract the file from a Dumped ROM.
Do a search for : 'copy file from rom' and you may find your answer.
Or......maybe one of the ROM Cookers can supply you with the file ??
Hopefully it can use the same source than Windows Vista/7 desktop weather gadget uses, that always seems very accurate.
Hello
Here ist the WeatherService.dll
I think we need also help from wetter.com.
Here is the link to the api from wetter.com -->openweather API
And here ist the api + script with examples.
Nice christmas to all.

Hey Arkon1!!
Thanks for the WeatherService.dll! Did you all had nice christmas-days? Are there any news here?
Well, it seems that the DLL has only one simple function which is exported.
Maybe HTC is using a kind of interprocess communication. Has anyone an idea how to sniff which protocol they are using for the interprocess communication?

Hi guys,
I'm in the process of making an app for my HD2, which will be the first time I have ever programmed anything for a mobile phone
Is it possible to add a new tab? I imagine it is. So how does one go about adding a new tab? Is there some sort of HTC HD2 API documented somewhere that I can consult?
Much appreciated if you can help I've done a bit of searching on the forums and haven't found anything that answers my first question.
The only app. I've ever seen that is embedded in Manila as a seperate tab is found here
Maybe you can contact the developer?
Good luck (hope you come up with something useful you can share with us?)
Thanks, I've just sent the dev an email
If it works as I plan it to work, I shall share it
The dev didn't not create it
Manila TV PLayer is a tab to add in TF3D & TF3D2 but in this the landscape don't work properly.
This add-on is based on tab from orange tab tv i'm modificated to work with all languagues and other streams.
It's orange that created it

Ali, a ROM is a package that includes the full OS and other software on your phone. The stuff that came on your phone from the factory is the "stock ROM", and there are a large number of custom ROMs available here at xda that somehow improve or otherwise tweak/change the stock ROM to personal tastes and preferences. You can replace your stock ROM with a custom one if you would like, but the process is delicate and carries the possiblity of totally disabling your phone, permanently ("Bricking" it).
Themes are much safer, and a better place for you to start...in the "themes" section for your phone.
As for ROM's, there are some stickied threads at the top of this section ("Links to CABs, ROMs....") that have full instructions on ROM flashing....make sure you read them VERY carefully if you are thinking about taking that path. Then, read them again

In resco go to options -> general ->browser tab at the bottom and uncheck the "hide..." boxes. Now you'll be able to see registry settings and edit them I think.
REGISTRY !
"\\Plugins" is the folder the registry is in!! why doesnt anyone ever mention that !!!! it was at the top of my list but i never thought to check "plugins" for my directory ... but thats how you get to it.

Good idea.......BUT
This is a great idea. Problem is the T-Mobile USA site should have links leading ONLY to cabs etc that are verified for the HD2 in the USA at T-mobile. Guess what? IT DOESN'T.
Noobs be warned. Watch where the links are taking you. Don't download and install anything from an area outside of the T-Mobile USA HTC HD2 section unless it has been verified to work / not screw your device.
Good Luck

only roms and radios can brick tmous, cabs and the like will be fine. If a cab is incompatible with the tmous, it will be incompatible with all hd2's.

When or where have you heard of a foreign cab screw up a device?
The wifi cab works perfect with any TMOUS HD2, yet it wasn't released to the US market. Give it a try.
install to device or card
america just wants to make money on everyone for everything, if they gave away free wifi, like they do in most other countries, verizon, timewarner, cablevision wouldnt make the millions of dollars they do each year, they want you to opt to get the hot spot at home router its a shame that money is usally behind every descion in the world.
And by the way, no where does it say if your install facebook/anything on ur card you wont be able to use it when your hd2 is plugged in to your comp, you will get errors ive been getting sysfile.exe errors lately also and just now trying to youtube froze my fone i might call tmobile and see if i can get it switched out or something
device installs
also noticed if you install wifi router to device it doesn'tget nearly as hot at the bottom back of phone

The EVO comes pre-loaded with QuickOffice, which I believe allows you to see/edit word files.
