ROM 1.37's Touch flow 3D's Opera Launcher fixed URL can be changed or removed now, #7

I have flashed to 1.37 Malaysia WWE ROM, under the 3D touch flow, when I click the browser, it opens to HTC site instead of a local search page like 1.34ROM. Is there a way I change it?
I have changed the startup homepage in opera setting but it didn't change the default page when you launch the browser from 3D touch flow.. any ideas to have it changed? thanks

when u open it at the adress bar u see from where the file (URL) is its shortcut in windows make a shortcut of a browser in your pc and name it the same thing as u had that is ( windows\htc-opera.html) so with your pc make a shortcut of internet adress u like and the save it to your desktop and then rename it to htc-opera.html and copy this to your device windows folder thats it !!

I have done that but it seems the opera launcher in 3D touch flow is hardcoded to www.htc.com. In fact under the globe icon in 3D touch flow, it has a line www.htc.com . I forget whether it is the same in 1.34 ROM. But so far I am not able to change that...

anyone got any idea? thanks

ok, i got tricked by this as well.
Look underneath the earth in the browser panel.
It says "Launch Browser - www.htc.com"
So I guess it always launches to htc.com.
To launch Opera only and on your predefined start page, use the Right softkey when on the browser panel. It's labeled BROWSER.
Irritating

i noticed the browser softkey, but i think there must be a way to change this... it seems this is not an issue with 1.34 rom

I finally resolved this issue; anyone who has the same problem go to "Application Data" folder and delete this file: InternetPortal-en-AU.xml. or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes
Please note that this InternetPortal-en-AU.xml is a read only file, you need to copy it to your PC for editing the URL you want to go when you hit the Globe Icon. First, uncheck the "read only" tab in file properities. then edit it with notepad on PC. After you are done, rename it to InternetPortal-en-AU-new.xml ( your file extension may be hidden) , copy it back to Diamond's" Application Data" folder. then launch "File Explorer" in your Diamond, then go to "Application Data" folder, rename InternetPortal-en-AU to InternetPortal-en-AU-bak then rename InternetPortal-en-AU-new to InternetPortal-en-AU, You are done !

So what does the screen show now? I mean before you tap on the browser.
Is it still the globe, just without directing you to the htc official site?

without the file, it will go to whatever homepage you have set in Opera's setting, or you can edit the InternetPortal-en-AU.xml file , it will then go to whatever URL you have changed in InternetPortal-en-AU.xml when you launch it by the Globe Icon, don't worry, the Globe is still there. As a rule of thumb, back up the file before you make changes

Thanks vaio for web browser tip!

I've finally got time to try this out, & it works like a charm! thank you so much!
Now... would it be possible to change the browser icon to something of personal preference? I saw a path inside the *.xml & it directed to a banner.qtf or something. Or is it embedded?
Anyway, just want to thank you for this huge help.

princEd, thanks for your kind words.. will keep searching for tweaks..

Hi all, can anyone post the original script for "InternetPortal-en-AU.xml" Thanks in advance..

Hi.
I don't have this XML file in Application Data too, and my Internet Tab is just useless : the globe button does strictly nothing, neither do the "browser" or "more" bottom buttons, and the youtube link below the globe displays an error message about missing file or incorrect certificate.
So I would like to :
make the "Launch Browser" button launch Opera 9.5b or at least Internet Explorer
if possible, make it launch my homepage or a customizable page
remove this Youtube link
learn how to add other links
having a link/button to one-click des/activate WLAN would be just GREAT
Can somebody post the content of the XML file ?
And of course, if anybody knows how to achieve any of the above...
Thanks in advance
Phone: HTC Touch Diamond
Original ROM (strangely hadn't TF3D though, had to install tlr-manila-38.cab)
TF3D version: 1.1.34569.0_1630.38
Opera 9.5 Beta (bizzarely located: \Program Files\9.5 Beta\opera9.exe), IE

try reinstalling an opera cab, it may ask you to remove the old version if you have one. reset and try again.

doesn't change anything

Is it possible to save the added words to the T9?

Hi!
I was just wondering if it was possible to save the words you have added to the T9 dictionary. It would be nice to have a backup if you flash your Diamond often.

Sure is...
unzip the attached file copy paste to your Diamond.
Start using it

Ok.... i tried downloading the file but it cannot open the file... file error!!!!!

try this one...

try again. I try download it just now and i can open ok.

Awesome dude.
Pretty much what I was looking for some time.
Now, is there a way to backup this whole list, so we can restore it after flashing a new ROM?
Thanks!

can, lah...
select text in T9MyWords > copy > paste into a text file > save the text file in a save location (e.g. Sync Folder "My Documents" or Internal Storage).
After flashing a new ROM: select text in the text file > copy > paste into T9MyWords.

Sounds simple. Have ya tried it? Doesn't work bro. The text are placed line by line, not in a textbox.
Im thinking I could backup the following files:
\Windows\eT9Cdb.Cdb
\Windows\eT9Rudb.Rdb
Both of them contain words (and more) from the T9 list. Gonna do some reading up and see the significance of these files.

oops... I'm sorry. tweaking with more than one proggis at the moment....
BoogieCornejo has given following solution:
go to windows folder and save these 2 files. eT9Cdb.Cdb and eT9Rudb.Rdb. after hard reset rename the original files in windows folder to anything you want then copy your saved files to replace the renamed ones.start a message or any text document and add a word.you'll notice the words you stored from before the hard reset will still be there...
Olafson added one more file:
eT9Rudb.Rdb
eT9Cdb.Cdb
eT9AsDb.Adb
1) Copy files from windows to another location
2) Change attributes from read only to archive
3) Overwrite files in windows folder (Now the files are not in rom)
4) If are still read only you have to change again in Archive (Now you can because files are not in rom)
I did not try yet as I flashed my rom yesterday night

Sourceress, Thanks so much for this! I have been looking all over for a way to update my T9 dictionary to get rid of some annoying words! This exe is a mind saver!

Thanks really useful - why HTC doedsn't include this facility I've no idea!!

The program is simple but wonderful. I was looking for some ways to clear those words too.

I just downloaded the .exe and removed the word Im but for some reason when I use t9 it still uses Im when I type i then m instead of I'm with the capital I and apostrophe. Any ideas why?

Really a big big thanks for this posting. Fantastic program, awesome!!!

none of these two files works for me... that's strange!

Thanks a lot.It works fine. I look for something like that for a long time

Request for Digital Clock

Does anyone have a way to change the analog clock to digital?
Thanks

solution
Hi.! Yes,there is a possibility for this...firstly, you must download the :"Manila 2D customizer" from a link reported in the "hacking & developement" section of this site (see on top of the main page), and install it on the Opal..after, also in this forum's section, you can find a lot of Skins..Clocks, icons etc...so, when you have find and choose it, download the.zip file that you want, and copy it in the "theme" folder (collocated where there is installed the application; you will find a folder with this name) and after, open this application. secondly you should make a backup of the original theme installed by HTC (this application allow you to do this action. Check the last tab) in case you want return back of the original status..after that, you can go on the step 3: return on the "Theme" section, select the name of file that you have copied and click on "Apply theme" and wait...during the installation the program will ask you if you don't want make the changing also for Weather tab and another point..don't make a tick on this two point, and press continue...finally the TouchFlo will restart automatically, and this procedure permise you to change the skins without soft reset the PDA!
In addiction to this operation, you can change a lot of other parameters as: colors & fonts of tabs, browser internet, the parameters of the main page (ex. if you don't want the analog clock, on the digital clock) etcc...
good luck.!!
if you have problems, contact me

Thank you for your help
Thank you very much for the detailed instructions. Will try it out over the weekend.

It "almost" Worked. Thanks for detailed instructions.
However, The digital and analog clocks both appear. If I disable the analog clock, the layout of the digital clock is totally disturbed and its useless.
any idea why?

instructions
yes i've an idea...have you downloaded the Van_de_bosh clock.? if yes, firstly you should modify manually the HTChomesetting.xml in the Windows folder of Opal..(so connect it on the PC, see and click on top bar of the PC folder Utilties -> folder option-> select the Visualization tab and after click on "show folder's and hide's folders", then apply). secondly enter in the Windows folder in PDA (wait if is slowly the loading, don't worry the PC can appear freeze for a few second, but don't close the folder)..after serch the "HTChomesetting.xml" and copy it on the desktop..So open the .zip and here you probabily find a .txt file. open it. after you will see some strings that you will copy into the file on desktop..when you have finish all steps, take this "HTChomesetting.xml" and replice the old file into the .zip..after try to install this skin package on PDA i know, is quite difficult but , when you have understand the procedure all become simply
If you have problems contact me

Thanks for the reply. However, I just found an updated version of M2DC which "fixed" the bug with digital clock placement. I tried it, and yes, it works like a charm

How to change icon apps on the app drawer? (rooted)

I'm trying to change the icons on the app drawer with Root Explorer but I can't find the correct PNG to replace that on the system/app/"application.apk"/res/drawable/_____.png
Anyone knows the right name of the icon?
Thanks!

res/drawable-hdpi/file_manager_r.png ypu will have to turn the apk into a zip then put your new file into the hdpi folder and change the zip back to an apk then re install

Can I follow this steps with the Captivate or I need to do this on the computer?
Any easy way?
Thanks for the tip!

hi, i changed an image in drawable-hdpi in "phone.apk" (ic_jog_dial_unlock.png) like aceman said, but if i try to install new phone.apk it says "application not installed" (or something similar, my language phone is not english). how can i install new phone.apk??
I tried to istall it from recovery and there is the same result
thanks

You have to push the phone.apk file into /system/app with a root explorer or adb. Just installing it won't work like most other apks.

i have "root browser", can i use it? can u say to me all the steps i have to do with it or adb? i'm not an android expert user...

up...anyone ca help me?

install a different launcher app that lets you customize it. try launcherpro from the android market.
you wont understand the mod instructions.

screw it here they are...
mod instructions... basic if you need more info. learn to search there are 4000 guides on how to change an app image.
you need winrar on windows. if you arent running windows you should know better.
use root level file manager to go to 'system/app' folder and copy your launcher.apk to sdcard.
copy to PC
right click .apk > open with... > choose program > WinRar
look through folders inside APK and copy all folders with .PNG images to desktop (or work folder)
look through the images in the folders (change veiw to thumbnails) and find the name of the image you want to change and the name of the folder it was in.
Go get, or create your custom image, and name it that name. **Close to original shape size.
Use winRar to open the .APK again and naviage to the place where your image goes and drop the new one into that folder.
A window with options will come up and select Compression Profile : STORE
Click ok
Close winrar.
Copy .apk to SDcard
Use root file manager to rename original /system/app/launcher.apk to launcher.apk.bak (backup)
Then copy your modded .apk to /system/app.
Reboot (pull battery)
DONT MESS WITH ANY IMAGE ENDING IN .9.PNG only regular .pngs
for more on .9.pngs... search google.. what is ....

i*have*to*modify*phone.apk,*no*launcher.apk..*i*just*did*steps*you*sayd,*but*if*i*try*to*rename*phone.apk,*my*nexus*goes*in*full*crash

fist off this is the Captivate forums. not nexus.
and i was giving help to OP question not yours. either way the *stars*and*sp ac*es are friggin annoying. use your computer if your phone is messed up.
if you "tried" to modify the name... DID IT? try doesnt tell me much.
if it wouldnt let you, then nothing changed and your phone is screwed up from something else.
if it DID rename, then CHANGE IT BACK.. duh.

sorry for space and *, i wrote it with the mouse using google translate keybord and i saw them when i cut/past the text
i "tried" to rename phone.apk, so the phone went in a full crash and i had to restore system using an old backup in recovery

Try apktool to extract all replace wteva ocon u want to and rebuild apk using the same tool and u need to sign the apk usin signapk tool so that device can recognise the.apk file for installation. I have done this and everything went fine in galaxy note. But i couldn't locate the file to rename the icon. Icon changing was not a prob.

To add new font, you should try to root your lenovo first.

Where should i find system/font ? I only see .system (starts with dot character)
Hi all,
I finally managed to root!!! yey.
BUT
Can't see any "system" folder in my phone root folder, only one named ".system" but not any folder inside
Can you guide me to locate or create the font folder?
Thanks in advanced
Israel

did not work for me
I extracted the zip file to my computer and then created font folder under system in my K3 and copied all 74 files to this folder.
It did not help.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks
Eli

can't create folder
just copy all this fonts to system --> font[/QUOTE]
hi
i can't create te foldet to put the fonts
(the phone is rooted )

worked perfect.
download the zip file from an earlier post, take the 2 .tff files that include the word 'Hebrew' in them.
copy these 2 files to your system storage somewhere you'll remember.
now use a file browser on your device to access the Root 'System' folder (i just used Root Explorer) and copy the 2 files from the location and paste them into System/Fonts. (YES, of course you have to be rooted to do this)
change the permission to rw-r--r-- like all the other files.
reboot.
Hebrew is great in the system now.

can't find the fonts
I've tried doing what is written here to no avail.
I have rooted my phone and copied a hebrew.ttf file into the system\font and it is not working.
The file referred to earlier isn't available. Is there a specific font that works?

root your phone and then use xposed installer. it has a module for hebrew font.
