Ok - I admit it - I am indeed seemingly the only person in the world who doesn't regularly view YouTube!
Therefore I'd like to remove it from my Favourites list on the Internet tab of TF3D.. although from what I can see this one is hardcoded (and not an Opera Favourite, indeed this link actually opens up the YouTube client and no Opera).
However.. while on the subject.. has anyone figured out how to control the ordering that these Favourites are displayed on the TF3D tab? From what I can make out, while within Opera they are alphabetic, in TF3D they are listed in the order they were created.
All ideas/suggestions welcomed! Thanks.
youtube...
No, you're not the only person. I don't watch youtube too. I'd like to remove it complete from the device. Any chance?
Well.. I've removed the whole internet tab from TF3D altogether (using TF3D config).
It's nothing but a globe and some links.. which I can also get from the programs tab. Ya might wanna try removing this whole tab and adding the opera link into your programs tab instead
I do not use it 2
I also had a problem with the internet tab. In my case (MDA compact IV) the opera favorites weren't displayed on the tab.
I've been searching the diamond and found some xml files in the following directory:
\Application Data\manila
There are several xml-files, choose the one for your own language-country combination. This file determines the contents of the internet tab.
1) Make a backup of the xml-file
2) Clear the read-only and the system flags of the xml-file.
3) Make the necessary changes.
4) Save and you are ready.
To remove the you-tube link, You'll have to delete the <link .... > entry from the <OperatorLinks> section.
P.S.
While you're there, you can also remove the <banner > field to get rid of the logo, and remove/change/add OperatorLinks ( e.g. the Search link), and detrmine wether you want to display the opera favorites.
By Christ. Removing the internet tab just to get rid of a bookmark is a bit bloody over the top!
Just delete the bookmarks you don't want from opera and they disappear.
How hard do you really need to make it??
Sheesh!!!
I realise that t-mobile and the other networks may have screwed with the touchflo to bugger it up, but if you have an HTC branded one then just edit the opera bookmarks!!
@Mods: perhaps someone could merge all these threads as they are all about the same topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408035
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408641
The solution posted above and in the other threads seems only to work for the MDA compact IV but not for the Diamond. Does anybody know how to change the internet tab on the Diamond?
Many thanks to all - I'd given up hope after my first ask
It's nice to be able to add icons for the operator links (only 62x62 tho')

Did anybody notice that this doesn't work anymore with the new 1.93 HTC Rom?
Any new trick to remove the youtube link?
Any more ideas?

Hey retard, why don't you shut up and go back to kindergarten! He can't DO THAT. It is NOT an Opera bookmark and you can't just delete it. If it was he would have done that - don't assume everybody is as stupid as you.

It's not working here. I removed the also the whole OperatorLinks section and you tube still there. I've tried to remove the read only flag and the system flag of the file. Try to softreset and deactivating touchflo3d before changing the file. Nothing works for me. Also i've searching the whole windows directory for other occurencies of the text 'you tube' and found nothing related. Additionaly I tried to changed the text 'you tube' in the OperatorLinks section, but the text didn't changed in the touchflo3d after restarting.
I'm using 1.93.
I, too, am interest in this! I'm sure there has to be a registry entry to remove it. Oh registry wizards?! Where art thou???
This variant worked on Touch diamond 1.93.
I thought I was the only one that didn't see youtube as the meaning of life and the Internet. It appears that we are at least a handful.
I did something VERY similar to the above and it worked (first shot) on a TD with 1.93.
But since the above didn't work for all, I better describe EXACTLY what I did:
1) By activesync copied the XML-file to PC
2) Removed RO-fileattribute
3) Opened it with notepad
4) Renamed the <Banner to <BBanner
5) Renamed (both halfs) of <OperatorLinks> to <OOperatorLinks>
6) Saved the file
7) Copied it back to another dir on th TD
8) Removed RO on original
9) Used TotalCommander to copy my changed file over the running.
10) Pressed the red reset-button
And look and behold. After boot It worked. The globe also went.
I noticed that the .qtc files mentioned in the .xml doesn't exist at the location given. e.g.
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"Nor anywhere else?
Actually the whole structure
"\Windows\HTC\doesn't exist!
Nor is there anywhere a directory or registry entry "InterNetPortal" nor "Assets"!! So this is all very strange...
But the interesting thing is that the widget now only shows my favorites.
Hope it works for others as well.
I must emphasize that I didn't try the original method, so that might also have done the trick.
After change, the file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
<BBanner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
Text="Start webbrowser"
Width="480"
Height="215" /> <OOperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" /> </OOperatorLinks></InternetPortal>
----
After some more testing, I found out that the very odd values for "DefaultImagePath" and "SelectedImagePath" are MAGIC words! They could be replaced with 'any' picture-file. If the path or filename is invalid/nonexistent the picture is omitted. If these two magic values are used the standard globe will be used. The picture is scalable by height/width
Order of Opera favorites on widget, opera6.adr format
The favorites are shown on the widget in the order they appear in opera6.adr.
Opera6.adr is a rather plain text-file. But please note that by default the unix-style <LF>-only is used as line separator.
So if possible avoid editing with windows notepad, or change the <LF>'s
In vista-notepad <LF>'s are treated as zero-width blanks(!!), so it's VERY easy to get confused and mess things up. I wasted a lot of time, thinking it was a proprietary format, before I discovered the <LF>'s...
Opera Hotlist version 2.0

About:blankis useful when the globe is removed from the widget, just to open the browser. I recommend it as link number FIVE, to get it as the lowest of the five shown on the widget without swiping.

How did you edit it finally?
Vista WordPad?
EDIT:
I stopped touchflo, removed read only and system checkmarks on the file. Copied it over to the PC. Used Vista wordpad to open it. Edited it and when finished clicked save. Copied the new file over to the phone, replacing the one there. Started up touchflo and it worked!

Well when I discovered the LF's it was easy. Just replaced LF with CRLF, this can be done in many editors.

How'd you manage to add icons for the operator links and are they limited to 62x62 simply due to the available space? Can icons be added for the favorites too?
"thank you for pasting the original xml file" helped me in restoring the default globe and removing telstra wap links especially the bigpond image!
Hello there,
can anybody with T-Mobile MDA compact IV confirm, that there is no possibility to configure the favorites shown in the internet-Tab of TouchFlow 3D?
My german TMob MDAcIV shows only two favorites ("MobileTV" and "Suche") and i don't see any possibility to add more. I tried to add some within opera and within PIE and none of these are visible in TF3D. Plus i can't find any "normal" configuration-screen to add favorites / bookmarks here. Is there any Patch known for this, e.g. within the registry?
Thanks in advance,
Malte
Try editing opera6.adr in the Opera directory. By doing this you can add (backup) your site links and also change the order in which they appear on the Internet tab. The order isn't changed in Opera though as this is always displayed in alpha order.
I hope that helps you.
Sorry, but your answer doesn't help me. I can modify the bookmarks inside opera - either directly inside opera (via the "star"-button) or via editing the opera6.adr.
My problem is, that the bookmarks never appear on the internet-tab inside TouchFlow3d. I thought - as i remember the htc-launch-event-video right - i could see my bookmarks in the TouchFlow3d Tab and coud access them directly by pressing one and opera should be launched afterwards directly accessing the chosen url.
Or am i getting something wrong here???
anyone with any info on this?

I've got the same problem. I have a MDA Compact IV and on my Internet Tab it has a logo of web 'n' walk (the internet service of T-Mobile) and below it one favorite: Search. I've added a few favorites, but they won't show up in this tab. I do see them in Opera itself, but I'd like to have them in the TF3D tab also.
after debranding and reinstalling opera from rom you will still see web n walk icon but additional you'll find your opera bookmarks below.

What exactly is debranding? For example I'm currently using the TF3D Config and selected the HTC Black theme instead of my default T-Mobile theme. So basicly it's debranded or is debranding something else?
I had the same problem, and I found it very annoying.
I've been searching the diamond and found some xml files in the following directory:
\Application Data\manila
There are several xml-files, choose the one for your own language-country combination.
1) Make a backup of the xml-file
2) Clear the read-only and the system flags of the xml-file.
3) Change the value of the <IncludeUserFavorites> field to TRUE
4) Save and you are ready.
P.S.
While you're there, you can also remove the <banner > field to get rid of the logo, and remove/change/add OperatorLinks ( e.g. the Search link)

Somehow I do not have a manila in my Application Data folder... How can this be? I have an original HTC, is this just for the T-Mobile versions? What is the filename of these files? Perhaps a search could help or does anybody know where these files lie on the original HTC?
Thanks

THANKS !! it works only my icons are not the way i want yet.
Can you maybe also post a standard HTC Diamond opera xml file so we can adopt that in the MDA compact IV ?
same prolem here on my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Dutch) but i can't find xml files in my manila folder.. just the htcblack theme that i've installed..
help
do i have to use a special file browser to see the xml files?
hi guys, i am trying to remeove the bigpond logo and would like to change the default search option from sensis search to google.
i think i am in the right thread but cannot find the folder above. should i be looking in the registry or in the explore? either way i can't find the correct file to edit... help would be great
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
<Banner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
Text="Launch Browser"
NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com" =======> THIS IS WHERE THE HOMEPAGE URL IS SET
Width="480"
Height="215" />
<OperatorLinks> ======================> FROM HERE TO....
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />
</OperatorLinks> =====================> HERE, FAVOURITE LINKS ARE SET...
</InternetPortal>
So if you want to change the homepage URL to anything else, just type the URL you want.
And if you want to add or remove favourite links, jus add in the same order "YouTube" has been added. Remove? Then remove the whole code > "FROM HERE to HERE part"
If you want to add a link icon, you can do so, but be sure to set the right location of the "ImagePath"=
AND THE MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL, DONT USE Windows notepad, use Notepad++ (its jus ~5mb and free software, you can google and download)
WHY? Because the XML file is encoded in utf-16 and if you edit this file in notepad and press save, the encode maybe lost.
Of coz those who are familiar with notepad can do so...its ur wish
Is there a way to turn off auto keyboard in the registry??
As in, if you click on a field the keyboard does not automatically show?
You'd have to click on the keyboard icon to show.
I find it a bit annoying especially when using MSN Messenger and it keeps popping up and down when changing from contact list to convo.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:
Create or change DWORD TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1
Or download & install this cab:
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/1836803/SIPUpDisable.cab
OR how about this
Use the Gsensor to activate the SIP?
IT would be great to just tilt the diamond forward and have the keyboard pop up then tilt forward past 90 degrees to hide it again
I will post this in the Gsen thread, maybe the dev's can work something out.
Jules
sounds great

You should use a propper registry editor. Resco Registry Editor, PHM or the one in the Task Manager 3.1.
Good luck.
anybody try setting this inside hklm\software\windows\messenger live\ or something like that? still pops up in ms.n messenger and this setting is cooked into the rom i am using.
I can't say good enough things about XDA Developers for archiving these threads. This registry hack worked perfectly on my Imagio. So many answers to questions for specific models just keep working on new models and new versions of Windows Mobile/Phone.

You can try PHM regedit. It's same like desktop pc regedit.
you can also try the "pocket version" of TotalCommander, there a biult-in Plugin for the registry
Problemo
Hey
Couldn't get it to work, and couldn't actually find the exact HKEY either from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Rin gDirectory = Storage Card\music.
For me it was identical up till \SoundCategories, but no RingDirectory key. It looked something like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory
Modifying the Ring\Directory into "Storage Card\music" didn't help either, any ideas what could be the problem?
Also cannot get this to work. Have changed the setting from original \windows\ to Storage Card\music. Can anyone advise on the exact think to type in the space. Even tried adding the \ in front but same results
I tried it as well and didn't work. The strange thing is that I also used SKTools and found this as a configurable setting and it did nothing as well, seems that it was changing the same registry value.
Hello,
what I would like to do is: change the order of the tabs around and make a different one the default/home tab.
I tried Advanced Configuration Tool -> Won't work (Error: Can't load configuration for TF3D)
I tried TF3D Config -> Won't work
I tried to find it in the Registry as suggested, but couldn't find it in the place said: HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Configuration
Now I don't know any further, do you have any ideas? Where does it put the tab config in the reg in TF3D Version 2?
The place where it is stored might have changed somehow, because HTC gives you the possibility within the settings to change the tabs, but their tool ignores newly installed tabs and doesn't let me set another tab as default/home.
Thanks,
Dennis
Under the SETTINGS tab, you can find what you're looking for. As for adding a non-manila tab? I have not heard about that.
Thanks lude,
I know about the settings part, but that doesn't help if you want todo things that usually only Advanced Configuration Tool can do, like replacing default home screen, having custom tabs and so on. Maybe anyone knows where the reg entries are now on v2?
