search htc home customizer
once you install this application go to the preview tabs and see all the different icons, which can be used. Once you find the one you want go to the downloads tab and select it, problem solved.

would this program allow me to change them on my own because i have some icons i would like to use.

Change default web search from landscape mode?

(ATT FUZE) I've tried googling and browsing through the preferences in opera:config, but is there a way to change the default web search from the landscape menu from Yahoo? I absolutely hate yahoo.

Anyone ?

i would love to know this as well?

Curious myself as well. I have looked all over the net with no luck so far.

I'm using the Sprint Touch Pro using Juggalo rom and when I click on web search in landscape it brings up Google. Might want to ask him on ppcgeeks.com I don't know if he post here or not.

Mine changed to google when I changed to the tf3d landscape theme..
I was unable to find any other way of doing this, but it has to be possible since its something within manila I expect.

I currently use the ROMeOS2 Confuzed ROM and when I use the landscape search it uses google so there is definitely a way to get that setup just wit around for someone to point it out for you.

Found it
In windows directory there is a file called
ActionMenuItems.xml
Change from read only
Change the http ://us.m2. yahoo blah blah to whatever you want.
change back to read only
reboot phone.

I tried this, and now all my buttons show email and are not clickable. Could someone post thier working or unedited xml file so I can see if i accidentally changed something?

can someone upload a copy of the ActionMenuItems.xml file? my rom is missing this file. Thank you.
Edit: Winmo 6.5 doesn't come with ActionMenuItems.xml or InternetPortal.xml. I found them in a kitchen file. They worked.

Strange, it worked first time for me.
All I can say is double check your XML and if it still doesn't work, it might be a ROM issue.
Dave

Just incase, here is the link to his tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2820586
The method I used to get mine running was Accuweather's which is explained for use in the xml file.
Worked first time for me, so can't help anymore....
Good luck

Got it working for some reason htc home needed to be removed as it was causing a conflict (not real sure why it was there in the first place) after I took that out went to the weather tab and boom there is the list.
thanks for every ones help

Customizing your Dialer

I wasn't sure where a good place to post this would be and haven't found a thread in the Raphael or Diamond forum on this topic so hopefully I don't get flamed for starting a new thread. I asked 4 days ago in "Let's see your ATT Fuze Screens" thread on how to edit my dialer skin to make the number keys transparent so I can view my wallpaper behind it so it flows with my theme (this was after a screenshot from someone with a dialer I want and have not been able to find). I did not get back a response. Maybe I posted in the wrong thread. I am a noob, but I am trying to learn how to do things for myself. I have read the wiki and countless threads (yes sometimes the entire 200 pages), used search function within threads, within the specific forums and within the entire xda site. Alot of results come up and none are helpful. Maybe I am not using the right search terms. In any case, I've tried to find a dialer I like, but to no avail, so I would like to try and create my own. Yes, I would like to just be able to install a cab and be done, but I am willing to try and figure it out on my own with some guidance. If someone could please point me in the right direction to do this (maybe the files I have to edit and I can try and figure out how to do that myself from other threads) I would be very greatful. I would like to have a transparent key pad on the phone screen and the screen when receiving a call and be able to place my own wallpaper behind it (Need landscape as well since I have the Fuze). I think this is something others would want as well to keep there personalized themes consistent. If this thread is redundent, please point me to the existing thread.
Thank you.

Since nobody else is replying, I will at leas share what I know. Using your phone's file explorer, navigate to the device's "windows" folder and look for the two dialer .bmp files named "Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp" and "Assets_Dialer_Pressed.bmp". Those are the two files that you need to edit or replace to get the dialer to your liking. Note: there are also other files named similarly "_Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp" etc. so don' mistake the files with the underscore at the beginning of the file name. I hope this points you in the right direction. Be advised that the biggest obstacle will be finding a way to overwrite those protected files. Good luck

IM ACTUALY IN THE PROCESS OF CUSTOMIZING MY DIALER..
IM SKINNING 'UGGALO_x WHITE S2A CDMA'

customizing the dialer is no problem. the same as skinning any of the rest of the display, to get around permissions issues just use Total Commander CE to overwrite the existing file.
transparency is a problem as the dialer pad is comprised of bmp files and as such there is no transparency like you would find with gif or png (unless someone has found a transparency color and i've just missed it).
it may be possible to use your current background image as the background of the bitmap to overlay the buttons onto, thus giving the appearance of transparency. this of course comes with the downside that if you decide to change your background you would have to change your phone screen to one that matched. in addition it would not be just the files mentioned by tx_dbs_tx that you would need to modify in this scenario as the dialer only takes up the lower... oh, 3/5ths of the screen? you would also need to modify the "Calls and Contacts" / "All Calls" / "Speed Dial" fields and the field where the number you are dialing is displayed. i am not presently aware if this has even been attempted yet.
personally, i have only attempted a color change to the dialer to date, but have been successful with that. if somehow nobody else responds before i can check on the unknowns above, i will come back and let you know what i find.

Thanks
Thanks to everyone who replied. I will try and see if I can mess around with these files. I found a dialer to use for now. See thread below. I need to figure out what files are for the slide to answer screen in portrait and landscape and the dialing screen (the screen when you make a phone call). I think that is all of the screens associated with the phone. Please correct me if I am wrong.

"Identity"

Moderator feel free to move this thread if it's not developement or delete it.
Well I expose my question :
I live in france and use sfr.
Since the only sell HTC Magic they developped a program for the voicemail.
Problem when I lauched the program it says : " This programme is only for HTC magic user your device isn't supported."
How can I appear as a HTC Magic?
I've tried to modify build.prop (I think it's that file to appear as a magic user),
But it didn't worked.
here a copy of my build.prop.
If any mod could look my problem and tell me how to do this or if it's possible.

call tmobile !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

are you kidding? learn to read. he says hes in france and has SFR, NOT TMO.
dixxa, you might want to pop this into the app forum because one of the devs over there recently patched the t-mobile "My Account" program when a similar thing was happening to anyone who had a custom ROM. someone may be able to find you a suitable hack for the voicemail program.

yeah I think I'll try that but I would prefer a more rapid solution.
Patching sound so heavy well I'll go for it.
I'll let this thread open if a dev look and know it could be great.

Are you talking about SFR Répondeur Visuel ?
I think it's expecting "HTC Magic" as product model.
Try this in build.prop :
ro.product.model=HTC Magic
Edit: dixxa, check your PMs as well

I move your thread in Q&A section, i think you should go to http://forums.smartphonefrance.info/index.php?c=7 and ask them.
Or you should try a apps that change your user agent search on the market.

Well,
I came back home and tried to modify the line zappletoo suggested.
It worked my phone is identified as a Magic and I can now use my app
Thx Xda.
