Mostly, files like this can point us to potentially interesting files or registry values that we may have other uses for rather than being directly usable themselves. Sometimes they reveal registry keys that we can't browse, which is useful; we can then edit them using INTEROPSERVICES tools or modified ROMs. Sometimes they reveal the purpose of things that we could see before, but didn't know what they do.

Text Editor

Hi,
I need a text editor that can do the following things:
- I have 2 files, let's say file abc.txt and def.txt
cat abc.txt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ABC]
A=1
B=2
C=3
cat def.txt:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ABC]
A=1
B=2
C=3
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DEF]
D=4
E=5
F=6
- def.txt is superset of abc.txt
- I want to make the content of abc.txt as a base search for abc.txt and if there is a similar entries in file def.txt then it prompt and ask if I want to delete the entries in def.txt.
Basically I want to compare abc.txt and def.txt and delete the content inside def.txt that similar to file abc.txt.
I did a searching and so far found nothing on the text editor that can do what I want.
Cheers,
Vibranze
im not aware of anything that does this. The only thing I can suggest is to get a second notepad program so you can open two text files at once, and then do your searching and editing manually.
Hi Neptune,
Yeah, this is what I thought too, no such tools exist and I need to do eye balling

While talking to a friend about dealing with two text files he mentioned this program:
http://www.pdalive.com/seymour.php
Allows you to split your screen into two allowing you to view to applications at once. Maybe this will help speed up the aforementioned process of editing text files.
well the pocketVI which is free have a "c" "compiler" in it
maybe it could be used
might help

I swear by UltraEdit (from the same people as UltraCompare), but I've never gotten on with UltraCompare....for comparing, merging and updating files and folders, I use "Beyond Compare (See HERE) from ScooterSoftware - it's not free, but it's a small price to pay (IMHO!!) for the features it offers....
See what you think...
Mark.
Thanks all for the reply.
Can the comparison software compare two files and show me the line containing same entries and options to delete the line from the superset file (def.txt)?
Or if I sort both files, then I paste content of abc.txt into def.txt and use text editor to search and highligh for duplicate entries within def.txt so I can delete it, is there any text editor that can search for duplication inside the file?
Appreciated the feedback given. Thanks.
Cheers,

Changing branded bookmarks in Internet tab

Is it possible to change the bookmarks in the Internet tab?
I have branded ones as the first 4, with a branded larger logo at the top, and I really have no use for all but one of them. The ones I want to replace don't even work, as they connect via a proxy I'm not using.
Can I replace them?
tap and hold and select delete on the ones you don't want
hi,
i had the same problem with my t-mobile mda and here is the answer of your problem! patrickw_mdav explained the hole thing.
my internet tab looks now like this:
cu
I just tried to find the folder referenced to in that post and can't find it on my Diamond.
While browsing on the device, I see two files called "InternetPortal" that are XML that will open within Opera.
How can I back them up and edit them? I can't see them when browsing the device on my laptop.
*EDIT*
Nevermind, I'm logged into to a different OS than usual on my laptop, and didn't have system files viewable.

How have you managed to customize it like that? At the moment I'm only able to get it to remove the banner (which it replaces with I'm assuming a default "launch browser" image) and it the one link I want remains.
My XML looks like this
HTML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
<!--<Banner

</OperatorLinks>
</InternetPortal>
You see I've commented out everything but the YouTube link, and added a custom Google image and link. Is it that it doesn't support JPG? I've got no info on qtc files, otherwise I'd use one of them to keep the convention.
Cheers.

i only changed the banner to my asked adress and picture!
my .xml is called "InternetPortal-de-de.xml" an the path is \Application Data\Manila
i´m just searching for a nice picture for my devs shortcut
cu
Hmm.
The syntax in both our XML is fine. The only difference is the <browser> tag, which my original XML files didn't have, so I didn't think to include.
Do you happen to know the properties of your jpg? 48x48 is the standard dimension, I'm using 96DPI, but that shouldn't make too much difference.
Do you know when the XML is loaded? Is it on startup, or when the tab is accessed?

i don´t have any idea about .xml. i only displaced the things i thought it schould work
the xml is loaded when the tab is accessed. i didn´t have to restart.
my picture is 41x48 pixel and 24bit true color.
Ok, it really doesnt seem to like Dreamweaver, so I'm doing my editing in notepad.
So I've figured that if I have a corrupt or no XML file in Manila, it reverts back to a defaul "Launch Browser" banner, with a pretty cool image of a globe. For some reason the YouTube app is also in there, so that must be pulled in from elsewhere.
If I have the correct XML, it removes the banner and uses the settings from the XML, which has no banner set. So can anyone tell me the default banner properties? I really want that "Launch Browser" banner, with my own custom links.
can you just use my xml? maybe this works and you just have to edit the path to the pictures!? i use notepad too.

No your XML has that iGoogle banner you created. I want the default one, but because it's pulling from custom XML, and no banner is specified in that, it isn't producing one.
If I remove my XML, it goes back to default, so I need to know what the default settings are (image location/name/dimensions, executable target) and then plug them into my custom XML.
But the earlier problem I was having was because I was using Dreamweaver. I'm not entirely sure why, but switching to notepad opened the thing up for me and everything works as it should, just without a banner.
If I get no info from anyone, I might post back in a new topic about it.

How do I make a shortcut to the Youtube app (Fuze)

I found the program but I can figure out how to make it go somewhere more accessible. Any help would be great. Thanks.
i would like
to know this too
I think they pulled this off the Fuze. They want you to use AT&T video stuff.

The youtube player is definitely on the FUZE its just not on the programs menu or the tf3d internet tab. Its hidden in the windows directory. You will have to go searching for it.
In that case use file explorer on the device and copy the youtube.exe file.
Go to the windows\startmenu\programs folder and then paste a shortcut.
Just tried it out and it works fine.
the app shows for me but does not play when copied anyone else having this issue?
I added it to the Internet tab on my Fuze, just under the homepage button and above my favorites. (Where it is on all the European versions of the Touch Pro!)
The process isn't too difficult but you'll need a good file explorer like Total Commander and if you're not comfortable editing Read-Only TF3D files, then DON'T TRY THIS!!
You'll need to edit the InternetPortal-en-US.xml file located in the \Application Data\Manila\ folder, so it's probably a good idea to make a backup of the file before you start messing with it.
Find the <OperatorLinks> section in the file.
Between <OperatorLinks> and </OperatorLinks> add this text:
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc"
/>
Save the file and make it Read-Only again and you should have a YouTube icon on your Internet tab.

Yeah, you can change the default launch page in that file, too.
In the <Banner> section, edit the NavigateURL to whatever page you want it to open by default and change the Text to match.
e.g.
NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com/"
Text="Google"

Badass thank you so much!!!
Worked like a charm! Thanks!
This worked great.... Could you do a favor and put an app that would add windows live mobile just above or below the same youtube link?
Hmm. I found the app in \windows and ran it. It just sits there spinning and saying downloading. I waited several minutes, but it appears to be hung rather than doing anything; in particular, sliding out the keyboard doesn't change it to landscape mode. I am connected; I can run Opera and get to web sites. Any ideas?

Mine did the same thing the first time I ran the YouTube app. I had to change the category using the buttons at the top (from Featured to Top Rated or vice-vera) and then it worked fine.

this should work. just add this line after the YouTube one:
<Link
Text="LiveSearch"
Executable="\Program Files\Live Search\LSLaunch.exe"
ImagePath="\windows\msn.bmp" />
that's not a very good icon but it was all i could find and it's better than nothing. i'm sure someone on here can recommend a better icon but that should give you the general idea for adding apps to the internet tab.
I can't seem to find the youtube.exe program file anywhere. I looked in my programs on the Fuze and all the directories in windows explorer to no avail. Am I looking at the wrong place? Or can I download this file somewhere and install it? I am new to WinMo devices and everything is just so new to me. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Youtube Icon
Great advice IT, my main MediaNet globe icon was set to device.home which was a dead link or something, just hung every time I pressed it, changed it as you described and works pefectly. The YouTube works as well, but I have a question:
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPort al\youtube.qtc"
/>
The \Windows\HTC folder doesn't exist (from what I can find) on my Fuze, and the Icon on the tf3d tab is just a white square. Any hints on why that would be, I copied this exactly, even put the /> on a separate line to end etc and no go.
Thank you very much.

It's not that picky, you don't need to put the /> on a separate line. For some reason a space got inserted into InternetPortal when I posted this so you might want to check to make sure you didn't include the space in your file.
I don't have a \Windows\HTC folder either. I'm pretty sure it's some kind of virtual directory that TF3D uses. I looked around a little in the Manila editing thread in the Diamond ROM forum but it's way more complicated than I want to deal with. I'm not sure why I have that icon file and you don't but I'm not running the standard AT&T theme so that might be part of the problem.
You can edit the ImagePath to point to a .jpg file that you want to use as an icon, too. For example, if you take the youtube.jpg file attached to this post and copy it to your \Windows directory on your Fuze, you can change the ImagePath to "\Windows\youtube.jpg" and that should work.

Another Internet tab editing question.

I have read a lot of posts regarding editing the internet tab and I have successfully added 3 program links to my internet tabe which work well but I have 2 additional questions.
First: Aside from the YouTube app, my other 2 apps won't display the icons properly, I have searched and can't find separate icon graphics for those programs, so I am assuming that their icons are compiled into the .exe's. My question is how to refer to the icons in the .exe in the XML file so that the icons display properly
Second: Has anyone tried changing the XML to add a websearch link so that I can type in a search parameter on the internet tab and hit "Search" and it opens opera with that query?
Mostly I'm looking for an answer to the first question but the second one would be nice to solve as well.
Thanks.
When you setup the programs in your 27c65cbd_manila file you need to put a link to the what icon you want to use. here is what mine looks like.
<OperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="Internet Explorer"
Executable="\windows\iexplorer.exe"
ImagePath="\windows\IE7.png />
<Link
Text="Skyfire"

ImagePath="\windows\skyfire.png />
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />
</OperatorLinks>
I have made and added the IE7.png and the skyfire.png to the windows dir
Um I need to access the icons
My question wasn't how to set the XML coding it was more on how to access the icons within the .exe. What I understand from your post is that you created your icons, I can do that too but I was wondering if it was possible to use a switch statement (or something) to read the icon file within the .exe. I don't really want to go and create my own icons when I don't have to

Building Registry...

I am using Visual Kitchen to build my ROMs. There are five types of files that are used to eventually create the registry: *.hv *.rgu *.reg *.provxml *.xml. I'm trying to find a program that takes all these files one by one and create ONE *.rgu file. When adding keys to the One.rgu the program should check whether the key exists with different value and ask the user whick value to keep. Is there a program like that? Could someone make one? I am not a programmer myself so i can't do it but i believe that this would be very useful for all cooks.
