FAQ:

Can you release a Manila Clean Stock Rom with less tabs?

Nope this is not neccessary because the performance doesnt get lowered.

Why? Because all special or extra tabs are set as hidden.

You can activate them in "Settings".

How XDA_UC works

BIG THX TO NOONSKI - XDA_UC is the most impressive UC for me! Thank you for sharing this!

[UC]XDA_UC V2.RC1, Automated & Silent User & Cook, Configuration Service[14/05/10]

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=562568

XDA_UC is a silent User & Cook automation script.

It requires no user configuration (unless you count dripping stuff into a folder as configuring).

It differs opposed to the default Autorun & RunCC configuration that, as a user you do not need no make an SDConfig.txt file on your SD card.

And that you can start using your device immediately.

It will run in the background at the reboot the Cook has chosen to have it run.

Features

# .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Storage", These cab files will be tempted to install to Storage Location.
# .cab files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC\Manual",These cab files will start with Full User interaction capabilities to choose where to install to.
# .reg files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .xml files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .mscr files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"
# .cer files in "\Storage Card\XDA_UC"

If you missed some cabs at the first install you can start the XDA_UC Service again. Just start the Service in the Tools Folder.

NEW FACEBOOK TAB SETTINGS

RTFM - User Manual

Features

All the HTC facebook goodness on your doorstep!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651007

Plus:

* Update Now left-soft key

* Launch Facebook App in menu (configure to fav app)

* Launch Facebook Online in menu (configure to fav site)

* Successful Update Time Display

* Adjustable Automatic Update Peroid

* My Updates - Displays your real status (only support text updates - urls etc ignored)

New For v1.5:

* Update your facebook status directly from the tab!

* Sense Settings Page (all settings for the tab now configurable via sense)

* Expand/Collapse View

* Introducing the HTC FbTab, (Stage 1 - The initial step to access the Facebook Api).

* Improved multi-language support (api available for wm apps)

The authorisation here is only for the new functionality of the tab, in order to populate the friends list and get status updates you will still need to authorise the "HTC Sense" application via the Setting Tab -> Data Services.

If you do not wish to use the new functionality and the "HTC FbTab" application, then check the "Disable prompt for authorisation []" checkbox to avoid being asked to authorise the application. You will not be able to post updates via the tab without authorising first.

Authorisation (important to set the Settings)

1. Don't activate the Facebook Tab in Sense!

2. Start the FacebookUtil.exe in Program Files/FacebookUtil

3. On Popup press OK

4. Enter the API settings for authorisation

5. Start with option 1 or 2...

Due to issues with the authorisation methods with facebook, two options are provided to ensure this application will work with as many people as possible.

Option 1:

Use internal authorisation

- This uses an internal browser to display the authorisation page from facebook and allows you to login and authorise the application permissions. This should be the simplest method for most users, press Authorise and follow the prompts to authorise the HTC FbTab used for posting status messages directly from the tab.

Don't forget you will need to be connected to the internet and be able to access the facebook website from your connection.

Option 2:

Use external authorisation (Use default browser & paste code)

- On some devices the internal browser fails to work correctly, hence this method will launch your default browser (i.e. Opera) and navigate directly to facebook to authorise the "HTC FbTab" application.

Don't forget you will need to be connected to the internet and be able to access the facebook website from your connection.

1. You should login and authorise the application permissions.

2. Once you have authorised the application, you then need to Copy the url (either the whole thing or the part including "code=...", as long as you have at least the "code=..." to the end it will work). In Opera you can do this by pressing and holding on the url (if unselected it will default to copying the whole url).

3. Once you have copied the code into the clipboard, return to the settings page and press "Paste & Authorise".

The settings page will then use the code and authorise the application.

Remove Authorisation:

- This will remove the authorisation from the registry.

Note: If you want to fully remove the authorisation you will need to remove it directly from the your facebook account settings, via the Application Settings page.
