Changing my internet icon into Safari Browser Banner - Touch HD Themes and Apps

just played with my HTC touch HD and try to figure it out on how to change the Image Banner/Browser Icon on my Internet Tab....
check this out
http://s157.photobucket.com/albums/t57/butz007/htc%20touch%20hd/?action=view&current=safari_browser.jpg
how to do it very simple
1. Create an Icon... must be on .PNG (whatever software do you prefer will definitely do as long as the final output would be on Transparent PNG)
note: the size of the PNG icon must be on 480 by 200 pixels, 72 dpi
2. Edit the XML code, don't be afraid this won't bite you (for all the newbs and non-developers)
you could always locate the XML code on this path on your device go to Application\Manila
InternetPortal.xml and InternetPortal-en-AU.xml
copy that and edit it on your desktop computer using a Notepad
note: make sure you have a back-up copy of the original better do this than sorry
then heres the original code just look the following highlighted text this is the one you going to change
***************************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
<Banner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\480x200.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\480x200.qtc"
Text="Launch Gee!"
NavigateUrl="http://gee-select.starhubgee.com.sg/wap/"
Width="480"
Height="215" />
<OperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />
</OperatorLinks>
</InternetPortal>
*******************************************
the first two highlighted text where the image path and the filename of icon that you just created... OK!?
example
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\myicon.png"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\myicon.png"
second, I'm using a Blackstone that i bought in singapore so theres starhub logo and starhub link there so I've really don't know on your devices if were both the same but i think all htc devices were all the same when it comes to firmware.. so next on my device I got a welcome text
example
Text="Launch achu chu chu etc etc...or welcome to my world!"
Third Highlighted Text is the link of your banner
Whatever Link you may think that you usually go so often using your device
NavigateUrl="http://playboy.com"
and then FINALLY
copy this the two edited xml file and overwrite it on you devices, same path ofcourse.....Application\Manila, using Total Commander
then put your created art (PNG) on the main windows folder and viola, your personalized Internet Tab.......
...............................................................................
LIKE it..LOVE it.. HATE IT.. WHATEVER!! just enjoy it! ...

How to remove Globe and Youtube link?

Changed the Rom in my Blackstone from dutch to standard English version.
(RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14b)
In de the Dutch version I edited the file \Windows\Opera9\Opera6.adr.
After that in the Internet widget the Globe and Youtube link were gone.
After flashing with the English rom I did the same.
But ... the Globe and Youtube link are still there.
I just want a page of bookmarks with no globe.
But just removing the YouTube link is OK, because I never use it.
Who can tell me how to remove the Globe and/or Youtube link?

With the help of this link I learned the following about the Internet tab.
In the English version the file 27c65cbd_manila contains xml-commands for the Internet tab.
Some xml-sections were deleted.
Now the Internet tab has no Globe and no Youtube link.
There are now 8 bookmarks visible on the screen.

Could I ask what you altered to get rid of the Youtube link? I've seen the thread you link to before but all that seems to happen whatever I try is I get a completely empty internet tab until I return to the original file in ROM.

You have tried spelling "Operator" in the 27c65zbd_manila file with two Os, like this?
<OOperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />
</OOperatorLinks>
I have never had a problem with this...but not saying it isn't a problem with your particular ROM/Manila.
You could also try deleting all of the text between "OperatorLinks", like so:
<OperatorLinks>
</OperatorLinks>
Not sure if this works on the HD, though...
I've tried both of those before but just tried both again just in case. Still the same.
Not to worry, it's not a major annoyance.
Thanks for your help anyway.
install the attached cab to remove YouTube link.
I've no idea what's different in the file in your cab (I can only see x's instead of O's) but it worked a treat! Thanks.

Very odd. I wanted to keep the globe but get rid of the Youtube link. No matter what combination of removing / modifying the Operatorlink section I'd tried it just came up as a blank screen with the file re-marked as a Read Only / System file. ammar's cab file worked perfectly though.
I copy the file "27c65zbd_manila" to Storage Card. Use PC to uncheck the readonly atribute and then use Notepad to add the following "x"s in the file.
<xOperatorLinks>
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPort al\youtube.qtc" />
</xOperatorLinks>
Save it and add back the readonly attribute. Copy it back to /Windows.
It works.

If you want the Globe than don't delete banner section!
Use Notepad to change the file on the PC
Save it and send it to the storage card of your Touch HD
Copy it with Resco Explorer to the \Windows directory.

sounds good.

Ideally I'd like google maps and the rss program on there so a "proper" internet tab.

Ammar's cab file removes the Youtube link but leaves the globe. Just how I wanted it.
I have a Singaporian ROM with a ugly operator logo instead of the globe, and that's why I want to get rid of it. So I tried to modify 27c65cbd_manila, but nothing change at all. I tried to soft-reset after modification, or also deactivate and re-activate Touch FLO in Today settings, but even though the file is modified, the internet tab doesn't change.
This is my modified file:

[HACK] HTC Hub Theme

I just edited the images of the HTC HUB. I know this has been done before by eiting the XAP before install, but my method was after install. With this method you should be able to edit images for any installed app. The hard part is finding the app as they are not in a folder named after the app. You need a Unlocked Device & Windows Phone Device Manager. Using the file manager built into WPDM. Different apps will have they images in different folders depending on how the XAP was setup. For HTC HUB, browse to \Applications\Install\*\Install\Res\Generic\images\ and copy in the files from the zip.
* = a random Hexadecimal value (In my case, 1A0EE8C2-48B1-DF11-8A2F-00237DE2DB9E)
They will always be in the \Applications\Install\ folder.
Thank to Dinik for his Glass Icon Image

[Q] Different wallpaper for Lock & normal Screen

Hey Guys,
I know it was asked a lot but I can't find a solution.
I want to have a different wallpaper for Lockscreen than the normal (unlocked screen).
I know that there is a way with root explorer ( I did this in past) but that is a long time a go.
I'm on O$$ram's SGBS 2.8
Someone knows how to do this without use a lockscreen replacement ( like Wodgetlocker) ?
Wrong post -.-'

Forget that post.
If you want to replace the default lockscreen on SENSE, you need to replace the png files inside of the framework-res.apk (/system/framework).
They are located under drawable-hdpi folder.
But that is all I can remember, it may not work on sense 2.1.

[How To] Port Note keyboard to S2 [dedicated number row]

Christian ported this keyboard to S2 but this is a how to do it yourself, prepared it from scratch after a lot of research
1) Extract SamsungIME.apk from the ROM that you prefer that has the default S2 Samsung keyboard
2) decompile the apk
3) in the extracted/decompiled folder, browse to res\xml-sw320dp-hdpi\properties.xml
4) search for the following line and change the value to "true" as seen below
<Property key="USE_ADDTO_NUMBER_KEY_FIRST_LINE" value="true" type="bool" />
5) add the following line at the bottom of the same file
<Property key="NOTE_KEYPAD_TYPE" value="true" type="bool" />
6) next browse to /res/xml-sw320dp-hdpi/qwerty_en.xml and add the following code at the top. Blue color code is what was added to the top to add the numeric row. Modified file attached.
<Row android:keyHeight="0.0px" android:horizontalGap="0.0px" android:verticalGap="@dimen/qwerty_first_line_vertical_gap">
<Key android:keyWidth="100.0%p" android:codes="-257" android:keyLabel="StrEmpty" />
</Row>
<Row android:keyHeight="@dimen/qwerty_number_key_height" android:rowEdgeFlags="top">
<Key android:horizontalGap="@dimen/qwerty_first_col_horizontal_gap" android:codes="0x31" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" android:keyLabel="1" />
<Key android:codes="0x32" android:keyLabel="2" />
<Key android:codes="0x33" android:keyLabel="3" />
<Key android:codes="0x34" android:keyLabel="4" />
<Key android:codes="0x35" android:keyLabel="5" />
<Key android:codes="0x36" android:keyLabel="6" />
<Key android:codes="0x37" android:keyLabel="7" />
<Key android:codes="0x38" android:keyLabel="8" />
<Key android:codes="0x39" android:keyLabel="9" />
<Key android:codes="0x30" android:keyEdgeFlags="right" android:keyLabel="0" />
</Row>
<Row>
<Key android:horizontalGap="@dimen/qwerty_first_col_horizontal_gap" android:codes="113" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_q" android:keyEdgeFlags="left" android:keyLabel="q" />
<Key android:codes="119" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_w" android:keyLabel="w" />
<Key android:codes="101" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_e" android:keyLabel="e" />
<Key android:codes="114" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_r" android:keyLabel="r" />
<Key android:codes="116" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_t" android:keyLabel="t" />
<Key android:codes="121" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_y" android:keyLabel="y" />
<Key android:codes="117" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_u" android:keyLabel="u" />
<Key android:codes="105" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_i" android:keyLabel="i" />
<Key android:codes="111" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_o" android:keyLabel="o" />
<Key android:codes="112" androidopupCharacters="@string/default_umlaut_p" android:keyEdgeFlags="right" android:keyLabel="p" />
</Row>
7) most of the ported keyboards did not have 5 rows in the symbols page. I preferred to match 5 rows on the symbols page like the note keyboard. So, I had to make changes to qwerty_number_symbols.xml file. I remapped the keys and hence attached xml file to the post.
8) Finally I preferred to increase the height of the numeric keys and so I change "qwerty_number_key_height" in dimens.xml to 48 from default value of 31 or 32
I change it both under \res\values\dimes.xml and also \res\values-sw320dp-hdpi\dimes.xml
9) decompile back the apk and then replace the original file with the modified apk file in \preload...\app\
Note: these are the steps to be performed to English language keyboard. For other languages, you need to edit the corresponding qwerty_xx.xml and qwerty_number_symbols_xx.xml file. Thanks to Christian for highlighting this.
Hoping not to missed anything. Got ideas from Korean website.

Corrected, thanks
Good job with the guide mate
But don't forget to type that they need to edit all the remaining querty_xx.xml (xx is the abbreviated language) or to edit their favorite language
Good job once again , I was too lazy to start making a guide for the extra row with the numbers

You might want to check "sip_key_bg_number.9.png" and "sip_key_bg_number_qwerty.9.png" under res\drawable-sw3**** folders. For landscape layout, you need to also make changes in folder "res\drawable-sw***-land***" folders

Glad u figured it out. Normally the number row has a different background image/color.
For the symbol part, system/csc/feature.xml ==> remove following lines
<CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>true</CscFeature_Sip_UseSymbolInCMKey>
<CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>de;en_US;en_GB</CscFeature_Sip_EnableSymbolInSecondary>
Use root explorer and edit the file

PART TWO [ IMPORTANT ]
This is how you reach a fancy icons they are noting but icons with Gif kind of animation we call them dynamic
So what's so special about them ?
Heh!!
You need to know som XML tricks like i am going to show you and i will even share my files which you can edit.
So the above metioned picture is an example how to place it.
FOR CALENDAR
Icons
| __ fancy_icons
|__ com.android.calendar
manifest.xml should be place inside the folders with pngs files
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- calendar -->
<Icon version="1" frameRate="0" width="136" height="136" screenWidth="720" useVariableUpdater="DateTime.Day">
<VariableBinders>
<BroadcastBinder action="android.intent.action.TIME_SET" />
<BroadcastBinder action="android.intent.action.DATE_CHANGED" />
</VariableBinders>
<Group pivotX="68" pivotY="68">
<Image x="68" y="68" align="center" alignV="center" src="date.png" srcid="#date" />
</Group>
</Icon>
You need to edit them accordingly like i have thepng files settled inside the folder com.android.calendar
For Rotational ICONS
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- Audio -->
<Icon version="1" frameRate="30" width="192" height="192" screenWidth="1080" >
<Image x="96" y="96" align="center" alignV="center" src="icon_bg.png" />
<Image x="96" y="96" align="center" alignV="center" centerX="59" centerY="59" src="gear.png" >
<RotationAnimation>
<Rotation angle="0" time="0"/>
<Rotation angle="360" time="10000"/>
</RotationAnimation>
</Image>
</Icon>
And place the Two icons inside the subfolders.
