Any way to get back the Pocket IE welcome page?

Hi all,
Just got my 2nd new Kaiser (first one had White Screen of Death) and it also has the home page as a black screen with the HTC logo; not too usefull. Any ideas how to get back the Welcome Screen that has your most recently opened pages and search? Thanks for any ideas...

Ok, well I tried just copying over the default_0409.htm file (checked and all the image files etc. were already in the Windows directory). This brings up the correct looking page, but the Favourites and History buttons don't work; they open File Explorer at the Windows directory instead!
Would be glad for any ideas for what is missing on my Kaiser that I could copy over from the Hermes.
I have attached the file if anyone would care to have a look; I searched to see if any other html pages were linked for example, but I don't know script...

I tried the same thing but no luck

*bump*
Does no one else want this start page in IE? Thanks in advance for any ideas...

bump, that page is on the Mio A501 and it's pretty neat !

Guess no one else likes that page, thanks for the bump though! I have been fiddling but still can't get it to work....

Solved ------> HTC's PIE_Default_409.htm
Okay, There are two ways to do this!!!! The first is time consuming & involves multiple registry changes. I can walk you through it or send you a registry file to import (if you wanna trust me ) or you can do it the easy way!
Easy Way: I'm sure many of you have the absolutely great proggy SK Tools. Well, the new release (4.1.21.x) has a "Replaced Rom Files" function. So either buy the great program or download the trial. Launch the "Replaced Rom Files" tool & check the box for the item marked PIE_Default_xxx.htm (xxx = your language code), either click & hold or check the box, then select action, then select "Restore Rom File". Then enjoy your new "original" HTC PIE Homepage with expandale History & Favorites!

Not sure, might help if you post a JPEG of the screen? The TXT file you included does not work for me.

I just put together a cab file for this today using some files posted by another xda member (I don't remember who it was to credit them).

DANG IT YOU DOG! I jumped the gun on my post! I spent the last week flashing back & digging to find all the references that kept me from changing the by just importing the default_xxx.htm. I finished my cab & logged back in to post it & darn it all if you hadn't beat me to it!

LOL. It's pretty simple to correct with all the correct files. I actually just copied the files to my Windows directory when I first tried it out but figured I'd post a cab file to make it easier on everyone else

thanks for sharing, works fine on the Nike too.

Hi,
I tried running the CAB on my stock Orange HTC ROM, but I still get the orange homepage, not the (more useful) Internet Explorer page as promised above! Any ideas?

Your folder structure must be different. Did you soft reset after install? Otherwise you can do it with SK Tools if it was part of the original ROM.

I did soft reset, but no joy. I may look into SK Tools, although I have just managed to get Opera Mini up and running, so may play around with that instead. Thanks for the advice!

You can go into PIE under Menu, Tools, Options, and see the path and filename for your current homepage. It's possible that Orange uses a different filename as the default page. If you tell me what the filename is and where it's located I can make an updated cab for you.

Thanks for your help.

Here you go. This file is for devices with the Orange ROM only!
You can uninstall the old one first.

Are you guys able to browse with PIE while on 3.5G/HSDPA?
After I open PIE, I receive this same screen on my Tilt, but I'm unable to browse anywhere (my hsdpa account is activated, of course).
I receive (in the bottom left corner) a message: "connecting", but nothing happens.
On the other hand, If I browse with WIFI on, using PIE, I can enter any URL without any problems at all.
In both cases, I can send & receive emails without any problems.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

As I replied to your other post, check your proxy settings. Which data plan do you have? Are you connecting to WAP or ISP?

Start menu stuff

Yes Im a noob, trying to learn. Ive learned the hard way on somethings and Ive had to reinstall the T-Mobile rom 2-3 times already on messing up. When you open the "Start" button you have your programs from the "Menus" in the "Settings" you choose what shortcuts you want here. Then theres the line and I have a bunch of program icons and then another line and then "Programs, "Settings. How do you get rid of those icons or shortcuts in between the lines?
Thanks, I searched but couldnt find an answer please inform me.

it sounds to me, like you're trying to clear out the recently used programs list. If that's what you're talking about ... install this cab.

Err I ah cant figure out how to install this file Im still looking unless you just want to throw me a bone.

Wow, you are a newbie! It's a cab file. Download it on your device, locate it with file explorer, click it so it installs. Look in your program folder, find the program, run it.

Yea right after I got put that post up I had to leave for work. I knew that I had it on the phone and found it at work. Is there any way to keep the "recent folder" empty even after running a couple of programs other then running the cab to clear it out again?
Thanks for the replys though.

if you use quick menu it will hide recent programs in a seperate sub menu.

Try This Album!!!!!!

curious if it is possiable to add this to htc album. a major part of album app that is missing from the wm2003 edition of album. can anybody figure a way to add this feature. also i have not been able to find a way to install the old album on a wm6 device...any help on either of these issues would be greatly appriciated. thanks!
UPDATE!-here it is i highly reccomend giving it a try ...trying to get an english translation though! just unzip and place in program files folder! ALL CREDIT TO TWEAKRADJE!!!!!
Update2-once you have album4wm5 installed overwrite with the album exe that i've posted make sure you do not install the camera exe as this will mess up your camera. this update will translate the album to english. now i will try and get some help with the delete/copy/paste issues not working. NOW YOU CAN BROWSE ANY PIC ON YOUR PHONE ZOOM IN AND SET AS TODAY BACKGROUND!!! ONCE AGAIN ALL CREDIT TO TWEAKRADJE!!!!!

The ability to set a background thru htc album doesn't seem to be in there. It's only for showing off what WM can do ... I don't think its supposed to be useful! haha.
My device still has "Pictures and Videos" on it... Doesn't yours? I'm using the TouchIT rom, but I don't know what is in or have been removed from the OpenTouch roms ....

yeah, I have pics and vids with the option i'm talking about....but both pics and vids AND htc album are missing important features that the old album from wm2003 had. pics and vids can't zoom and save as to the today screen. u r just stuck with your picture as is for the today screen. htc album can zoom any pic but you can't save to anywhere. u can use for a contact but still not in the zoomed form. this all sounds kinda picky on my part i'm sure but if u have ever used...or get the chance to use album wm2003 u will see how good a program it is. thanks for your response and keep an eye and ear out for any help on these programs. thanks again!!!!!!

Why don't you try and extract it from a WM2003 ROM? I'll see if I can do that some time this month... maybe.

I've only ever used WM5 and WM6 .. so I don't know what you're talking about haha. But I'm interested in finding out... maybe someone else can extract them since Ivan is going thru a computer crisis at the moment.

Just copy the CAB in that post over onto your phone via activesync ... then open the file explorer on your phone, find the cab and tap it to run the installation.

Don't install that cab because it overwrites the camera software as well...

i want the album so bad i figured i would deal with that later. i have installed many cabs since frequenting this site the past few months. the icon for the album program i want appears in my programs list but when i try to open it i get the red x of death. this program cannot be opened because it is not signed by a trusted blah blah... or one if it's components is missing blah blah... the zip has the files seperately . i tried dropping it into the windows folder but that didn't do anything either. have you ever used this album program ivanmmj?

I haven't used it, but I'm interesting in looking through it... I think, (again) that the best solution will be to decompile the ROM and look for all the needed files.

yeah, umm... thats a little beyond me.

still have my magician with wm2003se
could you guys possibly tell me what to look for that would need to be extracted? i would probably need to install total commander to investigate the files closer than what i could with file explorer... um...right?? i'm trying to help myself guys haha! oh by the way after installing that cab my camera still worked. but, when i dropped the files from the zip into the windows folder manually it did quit working. i got the files out and all is well. i was just excited momentarily to see the icon for this beloved program of mine in my program list. thanks again try not to forget about me..

Custom Theme Components

Long time lurker, first time poster... I have been learning a lot really fast about customizing different aspects of the eris, but what I have been really searching hard for is a way to customize certain components to add to an already great rom. Right now I am running Eris_Official_0.8.1T2 btw. Anyways what I am really looking for is something like this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=654852 Mostly the Launcher is what I really want to change but to be able to tweak everything else would be great too. If someone knows how to do this or can point me in the right direction to maybe even learn how myself I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks

unzip the rom files
system/framework/com.htc.resources
once in there go to
res/drawable-port-mdpi
the file named common_app_rosie_navbar.png
is the launcher, and thats the main thing u need to edit.
and also go to
system/apps/rosie.apk
one inside the apk go to
res/drawable-normal-mdpi
and
drawable-normal-port-mdpi
edit those to your liking

Wow I feel dumb now lol... Ive been poking around in com.htc.resources for a couple days now and completely overlooked that... Thanks alot... Only question I have now is how do I remove the word phone that overlayed on the launcher? I would post a screenshot of my home screen but since im a new user its not allowing me.
Thanks for the help

well I uploaded a photo to my album so if you feel like checking it out just go to my profile... Im starting to like the phone (icon and word) over the orb but if anyone knows how to remove the word for future reference please let me know... I am also trying to find out how to change the status bar's clock color, which searching around has brought me to editing the services.jar or services.odex file but Im still uncertain on how to do this. Any input would be great.

Im going to sound like an idiot, but i can't open the apk to edit, im missing something.. help?

Right click and open with winrar or 7zip. Once you have edited the images you will have to resign either the .apk or the rom. Depending on if you are editing the whole rom or not. Hope I was able to help

quick office

ive been looking around and havent found what im looking for so i figured id post it.i noticed the desire has quickoffice installed.can we get a .apk to place on the nexus?
thanks

My nexus has quick office installed out of the box. Just click a file and quick office opens.
However if you want to edit the files then you need docs to go or similar.

would yours be att version?mine is tmo and no office thats why im asking someone for a .apk

flash cyanogen and you'll have it. or download the rom to get the apk

Aren't both versions excujw the same? Have you actually attempted to open a word file to see what happens? I guarantee you it will work.

I'm pretty sure I didn't have the quick office icon when I first got my nexus one, but at some point after trying to open an office document I now have the icon, so I don't know whether it's there, but just not completely installed until you try and open a document.

Re: I'm pretty sure I didn't have the quick office icon when I first got my nexus one
It comes preloaded as a non visible file. But as you go to open a document you will notice quick office as you viewing tool.

Yup it's there on all Nexus Ones and always has been. Bought my Nexus in early january and it was there then as well. I did buy Documents To Go though since it's quite a bit more extensive.

In case you still need it

im on cyanogen

To quote someone all you have to do is look at the persons post and at the bottom right hand side of their post click on "quote". Pretty easy if you ask me
And no problem. To install the apk just use a file manager (like Astro) from the marketplace

i was looking to see how to quote multiple posts i know how to quote a single.
thanks again
