Can't remove At&t links from start menu

Samsung Blackjack
AT&T/Cingular
Just updated the firmware
I am trying to remove links from my start menu for useless util's such as AT&T Mall, AT&T Music and Media net.
I've tried to remove them from the device directly by deleting the files from \Windows\Start Menu\*folder or file name* as well as connecting the device via Active Sync and deleting the same folder\file location through Active Sync file browsing.
When I try to delete the files, I recieve the following error:
"Cannot delete file ****: Access is denied. Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permissions to copy this file type."
I have verified that on applications such as Garmin Navigator and Good Messaging (app's I installed after the firmware upgrade) and I am able to delete, or modify their start menu shortcuts located in \windows\Start Menu folder. This leads me to belive that the issue is not related to sufficient memory, or permissions.
I have found articles by google'ing and they state it is possible to delete these specific files but they won't delete on mine. I tried rebooting several times (some articles noted that rebooting would majically allow deletion of files). No luck.
PLEASE HELP.

Using resco explorer I have hidden files that were in the ROM. Download teh trial and see if that works for you.

Figured it out...

Allowed me to rename and delete the ROM based shortcuts.

Add cities

Does anybody know how to add new cities on weather tab?. I want to add mine in Spain. I tried to use the editor for Diamond 1 but doesn´t work on D2.
Tanhs a lot.

Add your own city to weather tab:

1. Copy 2330fc3c_manila from your windows directory onto your PC
2. Download SQLite Administrator.
3. Download WeatherDatabaseEditor 1.2 and install to your device (you won't actually be using this but it adds a reg key that is essential to making this work. (I'm not sure what it adds but this is what the orig instructions I read said to do))
4.Open the manila file using SQLite Administrator on your PC (make sure you select all files when trying to open or it wont show up) then select the "Edit Data" tab and highlight cities in the tree on the left, all you gotta do now is pick a city you'd never use and edit the CityName, Country and accuweathercode to match the city you plan to add.
5. Place the edited copy of 2330fc3c_manila into your windows directory and soft reset the device.
6. Go into the TF3D weather tab and select your city from the list (this will also add your city to the calender tab)

Thanks. It's work for me.

Yesss!. Works very well. Thanks a lot.

Oh yesss works a treat. Had to install Total Commander to transfer the edit file back to the Windows Folder though as the standard File explorer wouldn't let me do it.

Another intuitive TF3D configuration option from HTC

Worked also for me on my TD2, but i didn't use the WeatherDatabaseEditor version 1.2, instead of that i also installed Total Commander on my phone. With Total Commander i just copied the edited "2330fc3c_manila" file from the memory card to the \Windows directory off the phone.

Looking at the Cab file for WeatherDatabaseEditor, the only registry change it makes is:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.ServerURLOverride="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"
Just thought I'd point that out for those who will end up making a Cab file to install the weather modification as needed when re-flashing instead of installing unnecessary software again.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - but there's no way to overwrite the original file with the edited one. All I'm getting is 'The original file is in ROM and cannot be replaced'. I'm doing it via Resco Explorer. Any suggestions?

This is what I get when I add my city to Diamond 2 and try to update. Any suggestions?
Many Thanks,

Got it
Just change the Local Time (on the clock tab click on time) and set your local citie as you want

Finally
Thank you so much for this thread. I finally managed to add my home town . Great.

Don´t you think guys that manila is little bit slower when u add your "own" city?

[Resolved] [A] "Unable to Scan for Networks" SOLUTION - WITHOUT ROOTING

**** SOLUTION - WITHOUT ROOTING *****
I searched many forms to solve the "Unable to scan network" issue. All explained how to do it after rooting and I did not want to root my phone.
Yesterday, while playing with the phone and SDK, I could repair it by deleting "bcm_supp.conf" file. This is what I did:
1. Install the SDK -> developer dot android dot com slash sdk slash index.html
(make sure the <SDK>/tools path is added to the windows path variable. My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> Environment Variables -> System variable -> add the SDK path at the end of Path variable )
2. On your phone, please enable (tick mark) "USB debugging" under "Settings" -> "Applications" -> "Development"
3. Connect your phone using USB to PC/Laptop. Close phone manager application if it comes up on the PC.
4. Run "ddms.bat" from <SDK>/tools directory. The DDMS application will come up and it should readily connect to your phone. (in the main screen, under Name, you should find the phone ID and SW ver. no.)
5. Go to menu Device -> File Explorer. New window will come up.
6. Here go to data -> wifi directory. You will see a file bcm_supp.conf.
7. Though it is not possible to read this file, you should be able to delete it. (at least I could delete it). You can delete the file by selecting it and then pressing red "-" on top left of the window.
8. Now close the DDMS and disconnect the USB. Enable WiFi and scan for networks. The bcm_supp.conf file will get created and you should be able to find the networks.
Please note:
1. Do this on your own risk.
2. All your previous WiFi settings are gone as you delete the file.
3. If you don't know how to install SDK, just google, you will find many forms explaining.
4. I tried to delete the file from "Terminal Emulator", but it did not allow. I guess DDMS has some special permissions.

PROBLEM
ok. i do this , and im stuck at step 6
i can not open data and mnt . rest is fine
under system/etc/wifi
there are
bcm4329_aps.bin
bcm4329_mfg.bin
bcm_4329_sta.bin
nvram_mfg.txt
nvram_net.txt
wifi.conf
wpa_supplicant.conf
and i cannot delete using the small "-" sign at the top
PLEASE HELP I REALLY NEED WIFI CUZ I DONT USE MY 3G

I know that this is a late reply, but thanks, it'd been doing my head in, deleted wpa_supplicant.conf, bang, all working again

I'm sort of a newbie in this and I have that problem with my Mytouch 4G, where it says it is "unable to scan for networks". I've tried everything and even this seems complicated (with my lack of know-how). So, if you could repost this as if you were explaining it to a five-year-old or perhaps make a video showing the process, I would readily appreciate that. But I really need help because this issue is very frustrating.

Please Help!
hey guys, so i got to step 6 and im stuck there, im unable to to open data file, is there a solution for that ?

That is a configuration file, not to mention that it is a system file. You should NOT modify this file unless you know what you are doing. These files are used to configure application(s) settings and server processes.

message center problem

hi. my phone message center is grey out. i fixed that after searching and doing root explorer and xml file edit and placing it back into it directory. it work w/o reboot. However the problem is that when i do reboot or restart my phone, the message center goes back to blank and grey out still. How do i keep the xml that i edited from re-fixing itself? it delete my message center number that i put in. everytime it boot up. Running on Nero v5 fwiw. much appreciated.

Hi,
Initially, the simple solution:
Messaging -> Settings -> Restore default settings
I’m sure the Message Center was no longer grayed. But if the problem doesn’t get fixed then you have to edit the internal xml file.
You need a XML editor to fix this issue. For testing and verification of the file, I recommend Visual Studio as an editor. I recommend “Root Explorer” to browse the phone, and then browse to the file:
“/dbdata/databases/com.android.mms/shared_prefs/com.android.mms_preferences.xml”
Copy it into “sdcard” so you can see/edit it from your PC.
Find the key named "pref_key_manage_smsc_address" (at the bottom)
Change it from Not Set to 11111111111 (write the correct number of your network provider)
Then copy this file again on the “sdcard” to transfer it in the mobile.
It is better to take a backup of the original file and then overwrite the new editable file in the mobile.

I'm sorry but i did the about steps already. the 2nd step work but as i said in my post. the message center number get wipe and reset to "no set" after a reboot. the phone rewrite the xml i replace or something when i reboot my phone.

[Q] can someone help me increase my test recipients above 10

I am using a Samsung Focus S, I have tried the Advanced Config, Registry Editor and everything and it won't save my settings. I am interlop and chevron unlocked

Welcome to the wonderful world of AT&T! Why would you ever want to do that? <eye-rolling goes here>
That said, while AT&T does appear to cap the recipients themselves, you can certainly try increasing that limit on the phone. To do that, you'll need to edit the registry, as you appear to have figured out.
The apps you mention (in fact, pretty much any interop-requiring app) won't work on a Focus S (or any other second-gen phone) right now - Samsung changed the drivers used for high-privilege access to apps, and the apps written for first-gen phones can't use them.
Instead, you'll need to use provxml, deployed using ZIP path traversal and processed using the Diagnostics app (basically, what you did for WindowBreak, but with your own file). First, you'll need to build the provxml file. If you look at the Windowbreak zip file (I suggest you use 7-Zip, as it will keep the .. folders correctly) you'll see that it has an xml file buried in it, which contains registry "provisioning" commands (the format is called "provxml"). Alternatively, you can look up the format for registry provisioning directly from MS: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/embedded/gg155017
OK, so you've created your provxml file (or edited an existing one) to update the correct registry value with the data you want to use. Next, get that file onto the phone. You can either put it in a ZIP file that you email to yourself, or put it in a XAP file (which is just a renamed ZIP, again 7-Zip is your friend here as it will automatically recognize the archive format) and install that file to the phone. In both cases, it'll need to be in a folder called something like "..\..\..\..\..\provxml\" (if you look at the Windowbreak zip file, you'll see this).
Then, just follow the same instructions you used for WindowBreak but select your own file instead. The registry should be changed!
