Howto remove htchome when cooking rom

Hi, guys, as nowadays we have the M2D run on our polaris. So I plan to remove the htchome by cooking.
I found 4 files related with htchome:
HTCHome.dll
HTCHome.dll.0409.mui
HTCHomeSettings.dll
HTCHomeSettings.xmlI just deleted them, built my rom, generated the nbh file without errors.
Then I flashed my polaris, when finishing flashing the device stuck at the "Tap here to launch TouchFlo", I tap and it said "Launching TouchFlo", after a while back to the "Tap here to launch TouchFlo". Did the M2D have to use htchome to work?
Or any experts can tell me how to remove htchome totally when cooking? Appreciate!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
which rom are you using how bse to cooking?
If you use original Wm6.1 you only need to delete htchome cab in \oem\oemapps folder and delete his installation string from config_ap.txt in same folder!

hi,
those file are no relation with HTC HOME PLUGIN, they are HTC home engine witch is necessary to all HTC today plugins, so if you want remove HTC home today plugin from original ROM just remove .cab file from OEMAPPS directory.
regards

Thanks for your response. I'm using 3.13.755CS from c_shehar.

Good WORK man, will try it soon with the HD Manilla.
Thanks xmod

Hi xboxmod
Great job man~
It work on my diamond.
Thanks a lot

You did it! Only glitch, you have to tap "Tap here to start TF3D" after soft reset... however, impressive! A bunch of people will thank you, and I'm one of those!
So last thing to fully port HD to Diamond is the list of letters on the right when you scroll for example in "select city" weather tab... it's too long, is it just a matter of resize like that in the HD weather panel to actually see the 5 days icons on the bottom?

Awesome work!
PS. maybe you can add a reg to avoid the manila show in the TaskManager:
[HKCR\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System]
"manila2.exe"=dword:0

not bad.. quick and easy bro!
i see that it basically cuts outs the steps that was needed to run the app, cause the keyboard pops up.
either way..thanks for this!
Late,

Hi xboxmod, really thanks for your work. Unfortunately, after i installed the cab, my manila.exe keep crashing even i tried your manila.zip attached. Please help if you feel free....
1. My windows folder manila.exe is 3mb... why ur attached one just 12kb?
2. I have 7mb free space before install the cab , after install and uninstall this cab i only have 4.xmb left, which files i can delete ?? (Now i restore my 3mb manila.exe and i can't see any manila2.exe in my windows folder.)
Again, thanks for your effort and i still want to make it work anyway....

thank you, works like charm so far!
yet it´s not that small (3mb), luckily I have enough space due to custom rom ;-)

HI
my cab contain 2 files
manila.exe (my loader)
& manila2.exe (quartz tf3d executable)
my loader work like this:
the today plugin call manila.exe (12kb)
then manila.exe call manila2.exe the real manila executable!
so be sure to delete manila.exe before install the cab
& use only Mun_rus manila or hd manila

Nice work Xboxmod.

Great work =)

Change Internet TAB - 2.1

Hey people,
I would like to know if there is a way to change the internet tab in Manila 2.1. It's currently showing push internet links, but I'd like it to look like Manila 2.5, with the thumbnails.
Any way to change this? Not using push internet anyways, and have it disabled.
Thanks!

Only way is to flash a 2.5 ROM.

Identic to Manila 2.5 have reason Bruce Inman, you have to put a ROM with Manila 2.5.
In Manila 2.1 you can try to change the links like this:
Download the file from PDA to PC InternetPortal.xlm
Open it with Notepad and change the text and address internet.
To change or add the icon:
The icons are in the form qtc, therefore:
Take the icon you want to enter, save it with program like Infrawiew in PNG format [if not already is], with the same program the icon must be brought to the dimensions of 64x64.
Through the program m9editor 3.3.0.1 convert the file from .png in .qtc and put it in the Windows folder on your device.
Back to InternetPortal.xlm file and enter the file name .qtc that we put in windows, then save your changes and restore the file InternetPortal.xlm amended in its place.
Soft reset and there will be changes. [maybe ]
I made these changes with some cooked ROM, not with the original ROM, however you can try
Remember: before backup your original file InternetPortal.xml

Very nice, thanks.

[SOLVED] Missing Phone Settings?

Hi all,
It's just been pointed out to me by a user that the Phone Settings icon is missing from my Settings folder in the Start Menu, and pressing Menu>Options from the HTC dialer does nothing (the phone settings are completely missing). I'm cooking 23554 with Sense 2.5 (Rhodium 2.07) for the Blackstone, and I've included PhoneSetting 6_23_0_3 which looks to contain all the right band/pin etc pages. The only thing I can see in the app.reg which may be of use is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\Controls Folder\RemoveDefaultPropertySheet]
"Phone"=dword:4
But I have no idea if this value is right or wrong - I've made no edits to PhoneSettings from the original kitchen I downloaded so it ought to be right.
Anybody know why Phone Settings is missing for me?

you have to remove the redirect from reg, here is a pkg you can put in the kitchen that does it for you

Thanks Solved it by deleting the reg key: [HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Redirect] (which doesn't seem to be in the package you attached, but it pointed me in the right direction!)

[SOLVED] Cooking with cht 1.8.5

Hi all. New to cooking roms. But having fun trying and making decent progress but can figure out how to get cht to work im using osKitchen zero with stock sprint rom as base. Converted cab to ext (even tried oem to ext to see if something screwed up). Anywho everything looks good but looks like the manila files arent getting written in rom. Cht editer works fine. Cookies home tab entries are in registry. Tried prioritizing (spelling?) all other manila folders in case the were overwriting CHT files but didnt make a difference.
Anyone know what im missing here? Any help will be appreciated.
Any particular reg entry or something in app.dat that should be added? Dont install Manila_Home? Prioritize a particular package?
I havent got a clue. Been trying for three days. Im sure its something easy but havent found anything useful searching various WM cooking sites. Tried older CHT packages people posted that said they worked just by adding them to kitchen but they didnt work for me.
Please help!

If you are trying to get CHT editor working in the menu (main home screen) go into your CHT folder and look at the app.reg file. You may see the following entry:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\CHTEditor.lnk]
"Icon"="\\\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\icon.png"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHTE.Path"="\\\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\CHTEditor.exe"
Change to this:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\CHTEditor.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\icon.png"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHTE.Path"="\\Program Files\\CHTEditor\\CHTEditor.exe"
I had a similar problem when I was trying to cook in cht editor!

If CHt 1.85 wasnt installed in your rom then Cheditor shouldnt work.
When you install CHT 1.85 without any modifications the Home Manila has the same look as the stock one.
You need to use CHTEditor for modding your manila Home page and the export all the reg keys created.

im pretty sure i removed the extra slashes for registry. that was the first thing i noticed.
Cht editer isnt in soft key menu but it works from srart menu. if i make any changes sense fails to load though.

Ok. Im not trying to type this on my phone so maybe I can better explain.
Using osKitchen Zero.
Load stock Sprint TP2 rom (WM 6.5) into kitchen.
Converted CHT and Editer to EXT packages.
Imported those into kitchen.
Added them to rom.
Registry entry is correct for Editer (no extra slashes).
I make no other changes within the kitchen.
Build rom.
Load rom.
End result:
Editer isnt in right soft key menu it is only in start menu. Editer opens and I can make changes. When I apply, manila tries to restart but never loads.
Uploaded packages if anyone would like to see if things are correct.

Not sure if it matters, but I do not copy CHTEditor into its own directory via app.dat.
But your package does contain ManilaFull.xml, which it shouldn't.
Check CoOkies thread, he does explain there why.

With or without ManilaFull it still doesnt work.
I dont think cookies is getting cooked correctly. There must be something else i must do.
Fixing to just give up on this. Nothing seems to work.

Your packages seems to be right though they are same as mine.
Its a priority problem imo, CHTEditor must be cooked after CHT 1.85.
2 Solutions :
1st Insert a numer before the package name Example 01_Co0kie 02_ChtEditor
2nd In Oskitchen right click on ChTEditor ,proprieties and give it priority to Co0kiee.
I dunno if this is of some interest but i cook also CHT Editor language pack in my rom.

I tried that and it still wasnt working. Some other package/s were overwriting the files.
I wasnt aware of the packages cooking by folder name so I just made it so CHT and Editer were the last thing to cook in rom and everything works now.
Thanks for the help though. I learned something valuable if nothing else.

Nice...probably you was cooking Manila files after CHT.
