[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] btong1978:
Hi Guys, my first post here.

Just wanna say thanks to all the contributors/posters and this is the best forum for touchpro 2 configuration.

Last night, i spent 4 hours trying to figure out how to configure the Internet Tab on the Tmobile TP2.

After hours of searching through the forums, i finally figure out what needs to be done. However, i bet alot of people have trouble looking for these links.

So i decided to put all i had learnt in one thread and hope everyone can follow this.

Unfortunately due to me dozing off and my pc shutting off, i was unable to save all the posts and their contributors, so I apologize for not giving any credit but I assure you that i am not taking any credit for this post.

All Tmobile TP2s comes loaded with IE and Opera. I prefer Opera myself and I want Internet Tab to launch everything in Opera.

This is what i did...

1) Download Registry Editor (you can google it or go to this linklink

2) (this was quoted from the thread)

navigate to HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila

change value in DefaultBrowserIsIE from "1" to "0"

change value in Internet.SetOperaForeground from "0" to "1"

Registry Edit tutorial thread

For Internet Tab Configuration.

This was a little tricky for me, but looking through the posts helped clued me in on what to do.

1)You need to find a xml file located in the following:-

\Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-en-us.xml

Some people may able to edit this file on their phone, but i prefer to make a copy and put it on my pc so that i have a few backups.

2)Make sure that the Readonly option has been unchecked for this file.

3) You will see the following when you first open the file for edit. (use notepad)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

<InternetPortal>

<BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>

<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>

<Banner

DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"

SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"

Text="Launch Browser"

NavigateUrl="http://m.web2go.com"

UrlText="web2go"

Width="480"

Height="215" />

<OperatorLinks>

<Link

Text="YouTube"

Executable="\windows\youtube.exe"

ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube.qtc" />

<Link

Text="CNN"

NavigateUrl="http://tmobile.cnn.mlogic.mobi"

ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />

<Link

Text="ESPN"

NavigateUrl="http://m.espn.go.com/wireless/index?z=TM"

ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />

<Link

Text="Facebook"

NavigateUrl="http://m.facebook.com"

ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />

</OperatorLinks>

</InternetPortal>

4) Remove the line <BrowserExe>\Windows\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe>

This will now launch the lower left Bookmarks and lower right browser in Opera. (this is only possible, if you have already edit the registry in the previous tutorial)

Replacing the tag <BrowserExe>\Window\iexplore.exe</BrowserExe> with <BrowserExe>\Windows\Opera9.exe</BrowserExe> only launches the "Earth" tab in Opera but the tabs will not be launched at all, not even in IE. Don't know why this happens. You can even edit the Banner tag so that it doesn't go to the web2go website by modifying the NavigateUrl to "" or whatever you want.

5) Adding/Removing the Push Tabs.

Look for the tag <OperatorLinks>. you will notice that the three "permanent" tabs are located here. You need to remove the tag <Link> in order to remove them

For example: I don't want the facebook Tab on this screen. So I remove the whole tag

<Link

Text="Facebook"

NavigateUrl="http://m.facebook.com"

ImagePath="\Windows\_Bookmark_icon.qtc" />

You can add more Tabs accordingly by following how the previous link tags are.

6) You can also use your opera bookmarks to show up on this screen by replacing/modifying this tag

<IncludeUserFavorites>False</IncludeUserFavorites>. Set the False to True, and you will now be able to use all your Opera Bookmarks on this tab. This does include the pre configured Tmobile links. I got around this by removing the Tmobile links or place them all in a new folder. This is easily editted by going through Opera Browser.

Opera Browser Configuration

Look for the following files in your TP2

\Windows\Opera9\opera.ini

\Windows\Opera9\opera1.ini

1) Allowing more browser tabs in Opera.

Open up opera.ini and look for "Maximum Allowed Tabs"

You can change 2 up to 17. I can't find the thread for this configuration.

2) I got rid of all the url references to tmobile and even made sure the regular options point to www.google.com so that the browser loads up faster.

I know there could be more configuration that i may not have found yet, but this is the most basic i could do get the Internet Tab working like how it was supposed or how i want it to be. Still can't figure out how to make Push Internet work however.

Please use this thread to post other threads or even new ideas on how to configure this tab.

Enjoy and good luck !
