Hey Guys!
With lots of excitement, here i present, my first self cooked Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM which i call by the name Pro User's ROM
Its a no-nonsense rom for users who want to use their Windows Mobile OS and Phone with all its genuineness. Upgrade your Gene (P3400i and maybe older P3400 with S/N HT8xxx and HT7xxxx) and add new life to it with Windows Mobile 6.1 and a lots of great apps many of which are taken from Elfin. I've given a great amount of time in bugfixing and error checking, and therefore for the most part, this rom is bugfree and some of the known problems that i found after all my efforts, i have given workarounds for those in post #2.

Problem Resolutions and FAQ:
------------------------
1. How to configure Hotmail's Pop3 Access in default messaging application of Windows Mobile without using Windows Live?
Solution: Create a new email account as usual and use these details:
Step 1:
Email Address: Your email but dont use @hotmail.com, instead use something else like htmail.com or something like that. Please not that this is only necessary if your email address end in @hotmail.com. Other Windows Live users dont need to do this.
Password: Your Password.
Step 2:
Uncheck the checkbox : Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet
Step 3:
Select "Internet E-Mail" as your service provider.
Step4:
Enter your name and an account name.
Step 5:
Incoming Mail Server: pop3.live.com
Account Type : POP3
Step 6:
Username : Your email address (full email including @hotmail.com or any other windows live address that you have. This time give it correctly)
Password: Your Password.
Step 7:
Outgoing (SMTP) mail Server: smtp.live.com
Check the box "Outgoing Server requires authentication" and "Use the same username and password for sending mail."
Click "Advance Server Settings". Check the boxes "Use SSL for Incoming Mail" and "Use SSL for outgoing mail". Select "The Internet" as Network connection and then click "Done."
Step 7:
Select the Automatic update interval you want or manual for no automatic mail checking.
Click Finish.
Now open the account in Messaging and click Menu>Tools>Options. Click the account name, click "Edit Account Setup" and change the email address to the real one.Click Next, Next untill Finish and then click ok to close the options menu.
Thats it. Hotmail will be accessible from messaging now.
2. ActiveSync Starts up Again and Again Automatically Even When the Phone is Not Connected to USB cable or Bluetooth
Solution: It happens for some strange reasons that i haven't been able to find but for now there is a workaround for it.
For Users who use Exchange server with ActiveSync will have no problem if they have set the update schedule to manual. Otherwise, if you are using the push mail feature of exchange, then ActiveSync will run all the time for syncing and that is very normal.
For User who dont use Exchanage server, they should create a fake server and then set the update schedule to manual to prevent ActiveSync from running on its own. Here are the steps for that.
First of all, configure ActiveSync with your PC if you want to sync with PC using the usual method. After that:
1. Open Activesync on your phone and from the menu choose Configure Server...
2. Enter any email address. Clear the checkbox titled "Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings Automatically". Click Next.
3. In server address, enter localhost or anything else. Click next.
4. Enter any username, password and domain name. I mean random strings. Also check save password checkbox.
5. Clear all the checkboxes in the "Data you want to synchronize" list. Click Finish.
6. Open Menu>Schedule. Here set both the dropdown lists to "Manually" and clear both the checkboxes. Click OK and close ActiveSync.
Plus as an additional step, delete the unneeded notification for Active Sync. To do that :
1. Open DotFred's task manager (Task Manager 2) and go to the Notifications tab.
2. In "Notified Programs", search for repllog.exe. You will most probably find 3 entries for it.
3. Scroll horizontally and out of these 3 or what ever entries, find those which have the entry "AppRunAtTimeChange" or "AppRunAfterTimeChange". Delete these entries, using the third icon from left on the bottom toolbar.
ActiveSync wont give you any problems after this.
3. Audio Booster doesn't allows entering Equalizer settings and checking the equalizer checkbox + Missing Audiobooster Option in Audio Managers Menu
Solution: This is not a problem and happens with some versions of AudioBooster and Audio Manager, if their version numbers are different. To resolve it :-
Just start AudioManager, let it build its library a little and then play a song for minimum 5 seconds. After that start AudioBooster, adjust one of its sliders a little. Then soft reset your phone, and both the problems will be solved. What happens is, they create their respective registry settings on first start and after that everything is fine. In Original ROMs from HTC, since on first boot the Customization applications runs, it sets up the registry itself. But even with that, you have to reboot your device anyway.
Useful Add-ons for this ROM
First of all, these apps are not mine, i am just posting these here for convenience. All the credit goes to the respective authors.
1. HTC Home version 2.1.1005.722 with Directory Fix by Schen
This is the best version of HTC home i have seen yet. It has almost no memory usage problem, takes only about 1 MB or so of memory. The original HTC home in the WM 6 original p3400i ROM was a memory hog and full of memory leak related bugs. This one is with 6 tabs, an extra one for music player management from home screen. And it saves its files in a seprate folder out of \windows so it doesn't makes your device any slower. A must have in my opinion.

there is some problem first time went i boot up it freeze at windows mobile boot screen then i hard reset it mow working fine
where is mms ?
usb to pc not working
audio manager not working
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Freeze?? It makes a sound and returns after about a minute thats it. No freezes for me. I think you should've waited for a while.
2. ya man, mms is missing! I'll try to find the mms composer and cook a new version. I dont know how i missed it. :| For now i've attached the cab file of the latest version taken from kaiser, i think. [CAB DELETED AS THE COMPOSER IS ALREADY PRESENT IN THE CURRENT VERSION]
3. USB to PC's second mode is not working. But its connecting fine. Isn't that so in your case?
4. Audio Manager working fine on my phone. What error it is showing??
audio manager it's show it already open
no disk storage mode on usb to pc normal mode working fine
also ram is about 22-18mb
Hi Sumit,
Thanx a ton for this ROM. Just flashed. I didn't have any issues while booting first time, which I can confirm.
Audio Manager is opening, in my case at least. Can't play and check now, since I am in office
As far as USB to PC option is concerned, can confirm that I am able to Sync. Not tried the second option yet, since I am in the middle of syncing my contacts and appointments. Will confirm later on.
The only concern, I feel, is lesser RAM as compared to other ROMs. But peformance in terms of folder browsing etc., is brilliant. May be a tradeoff.
Again, thanx a lot for the kitchen too. But I am not really sure, how to work on the same. Though I tried, didnt' work out. So, gave up for the moment.
Thanks, again.
@krazy_about_technology
does this work with the old Gene with SN HT7XXX...
thanks...
Wait for some hours guys, i am cooking a new version with fixes.
I've integrated Arcsoft MMS, File Open and Save dialog Changer for default windows dialogs and old icon of USB to PC.
Removed the SQM (Software Quality Metrics), USB to PC icon of Elfin as it was not working.
Anything else guys?

I would say, so far this ROM has been impressive. Great work mate. Waiting for the fix.
Just one comment though. I don't know, many will agree with me. Will it be wise to remove Office and Adobe Reader out of this ROM? Both of them are available in cabs and can be eaily installed in Storage card. I was thinking that removing the same from the ROM will save some valuable space in storage. Just a thought.
why start a kitchen for new gene
hi
u being such an expert on the new gene why not u start a kitchen

Download Link : http://cid-988261b694475a67.skydriv...OMs/Sumits|_WM6.1|_ProUsersROM|_New|_Gene.exe
This ROM, in my knowledge, is the first rom for New GENE which is complete in all respects. It has all the features of WM 6.1 in it (only Welcome Center is removed as it was of no use at all). Plus i have also included some essential utilities. I wanted to include some others too but was neither able to find OEM's for some nor was i able to create with the tools i have.
Main Features:
* First WM 6.1 ROM with Fully Working version of Windows Live
I think i was right about the 2 HTC certificates that are not present in any other ROM. These are responsible for the non-functioning of Windows Live on these ROM (I think so but i could be wrong.)
*HTC's original touch driver from Elfin (Touch 3G) so all the default Windows Mobile apps have touchflo support
*Good FileSystem and Application Response timing: Windows folder is accessible within 3 seconds from any explorer application and application response time is also fine. Will be better in next releases.
*The Packages included are:
Packages Added by ME:
-------------------------
Jbed Java Runtime
Google Maps

Buddy, i wanted to make a ROM that is complete in every sense. I can think of removing Adobe Reader but removing Office doesn't makes sense as it is one of the foundation packages of Windows Mobile. This is one of the features that makes Windows Mobile platform unique. so i don't think it would be a nice idea to remove office. And you have about 44-46 MB of free space, i think thats a good tradeoff for a ROM that is quiet complete in features. Anyways, if you still want something like that, i will also uploaded the full kitchen, you can use that to generate ROM for yourself, with only things that you need. I have included what i need and what i thought most other ppl will too.
No offence buddy, just clearing my point
does this work with the old Gene with SN HT7XXX...
thanks..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No it wont buddy. Its for new gene not the old one. It should work on devices with ONBL 1.10.000 or higher and Serial No HT8xxx. If you have such a device with SPL unlocked either using olipro or orefkov's method, you can try it. This ROM only contain the OS and Extended ROM modules so your spl, radio etc will be untouched even if it doesn't works. Just flash back your current ROM and your phone will be working again.
Hey guys,
Check out the updated, fixed version. I have included :
1. Arcsoft MMS composer.
2. File Open dialog replacement for default windows mobile dialogs. These include facility to browse the file system freely, but it need to be enabled from the Settings>System menu first.)
3. SIM Manager Icon added to main menu.
4. Normal USB to PC icon instead of the icon taken from Elfin ROM.
Problems:
1. There is a fake, second, non-functional USB to PC icon in the Settings>Network control panel, but fix for it and the guidelines to use it are included in both ROM and Post #2.
2. The ActiveSync issue remains.
Please post your views about this updated version guys.
Important
Is their someone from Delhi or Noida reigon with an old gene who would like to test the ROMs if i make a clone of this for old gene? I dont have the phone for doing the debugging.

First of all dear, thats not my ROM. thats lomlom's. secondly, i think you gave gone through only first stage of unlocking your spl. just go thru the tutorial again and try using the orefkov's gene unbricker as described in the other threads. Otherwise, if you have tried it, please describe what you exactly did and what exact result you are getting while using orefkov's method.

Buddy, If your ONBL is 1.17, how come your mobile is an old gene. As far as i know, 1.10 and above ONBL is only present in new gene devices sold as p3400i in asia region and may be p3400 in other parts of the world. Please double check your mobile box for correct model detail and also post the version of your SPL, GSM and OS.
The serial no is present at the back of the mobile behind battery i think and is also there on the original box of the mobile, on a sticker on one side. Post these info then only i can suggest whether you can flash it or not.
Thanks for offering me help, but i need someone in my local vicinity for that as testing a ROm may require a lot of flashing and reflashing. Neither can i upload roms so many times nor is it fast enough to do that from a distance for you. But i appreciate that you offered your help. Thanks
UPDATE : DEVELOPMENT STOPPED : I'm not working on this ROM anymore. This is quiet stable version so feel free to try it out. But please don't contact me, unless its an emergency.
Hey Guys!
Wait is over. Here is another nice ROM for everybody to enjoy. This time, its with Manilla 2D and as with my previous ROMs, its fully loaded and everythings working the way it should be. Its a no nonsense, no compromise ROM. I've tested it quiet thoroughly for last 3 days and found it quiet stable and speedy.
I give it the name BlackMetal. The name is inspired by the design of ROM.
Here are the details of it:
ROM's base operating system version is CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 20270.1.3.1)
Free Memory at Startup : 23.11 MB initially, After normal use for 5-10 mins : 20.10 MB
Free User Space : 44.29 MB
Page Pool : 5 MB
I have created it with my own ported XIP from WM 6 Original Rom for P3400i using Ramerson's Kitchen (my favourite) for GENE.
Here are some screen shots from the ROM:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Credits
- Many Many thanks to Ramerson for his great work.
- Thanks to Ankit360 who really started the work on this ROM, made it available for new gene for the first time and gave me the direction to work in.
- I would also like to thank Om-By for his fabulous page pool changer that i use with every rom that i create.
If you like my work and feel that its worth some money, please donate to me, whatever amount you like at
Enjoy!
Problem Resolutions:
------------------------
1. SMS/ MMS Account missing on first boot!!!
Solution: It happens for some strange reasons that i haven't been able to find but there is a quick workaround for it.
1. Open Messaging, and close it without doing anything.
2. Go to the Messaging tab of Manilla 2D and Press either the Create New SMS button or select New from the menu.
3. A new sms window will come at this time. Cancel the Message. SMS and MMS account would have been created by now.
4. Duplicate Installation of Audio Manager in \Program File taking up phone memory unnecessarily!!
Solution: Some people might not even notice it. But if you have read this thread carefully, you will notice that you have less phone memory that what is quoted in Post #1. Actually this is a duplicate installation of audio manager created for some unknown reason. i have done all the usual checks but can't find any particular solution for this that i can cook with the ROM. But you can delete the whole Audio Manager folder safely from \Program File without any problem. Audio Manager runs directly from \Windows Folder and the shortcut in Start Menu > Programs also points to that. This is just useless.
3. Audio Booster doesn't allows entering Equalizer settings and checking the equalizer checkbox + Missing Audiobooster Option in Audio Managers Menu
Solution: This is not a problem and happens with some versions of AudioBooster and Audio Manager, if their version numbers are different. To resolve it :-
Just start AudioManager, let it build its library a little and then play a song for minimum 5 seconds. After that start AudioBooster, adjust one of its sliders a little. Then soft reset your phone, and both the problems will be solved. What happens is, they create their respective registry settings on first start and after that everything is fine. In Original ROMs from HTC, since on first boot the Customization applications runs, it sets up the registry itself. But even with that, you have to reboot your device anyway.
4. Audio Manager and Windows Media Player stop playback if power button is pressed and phone enters suspend mode.
Solution: First of all, Thanks to Shaunak.it for finding the solution.
This problem occurs in some specific builds of gene. It can occur in old gene and new gene both. So here is what it is like:
Normally, If you press the power button while music is playing, Audio Manager and Windows Media Player stop playback. But this only happens when headset is not connected. If headset is connected, the playback wont stop.This is a standard behavior and not a problem. But on some p3400 and P3400i phones, the playback stops no-matter headset is connected or not. I was not able to find the solution for this problem as it was not happening with me. But a friend of ours from this forum, shaunak.it solved it as he was having this annoyance. Here's what you have to do:
Open the Task Manager Advanced. Click the down faced arrow to the right of the screen and select Regedit from the menu. Now in the folder tree on the upper half of the screen, Navigate to :
For AudioManager:
HKLM > Software > HTC > Audio Manager > Config
In the lower section, look for a value called ENTER_SUSPEND. If its there, double tap on it to edit it and enter 0 as new value. Otherwise, in an empty area in the same place, tap and hold for a while for a context menu to appear. Select New > Value. Select REG_DWORD as Value Type. In the name field, type ENTER_SUSPEND. Click the Set Data button and enter 1 as the value. Click Ok and then again Ok.
For Windows Media Player
HKLM > System > Current Control Set > Control > Power > State > Suspend. Again in the lower left corner look for a value named WAV, if its there, double tap to edit it and then enter 0 as its new value. Otherwise, in an empty area in the same place, tap and hold for a while for a context menu to appear. Select New > Value. Select REG_DWORD as Value Type. In the name field, type WAV. Click the Set Data button and enter 0 as the value. Click Ok and then again Ok.
This will solve your problem.

its looking really superb.....grt work man.,..

so plz...do something for old gene also.....
thanks in advance...
Hey dude, great job
I am going to download this rom today itself
@crazy4tricks: Well do it, but do remember this is for New Gene only at this moment. If you have an unpatched phone, read the guide provided as the first thread of this forum to patch it.
@hksin1988: Buddy my previous ROM (Pro User's ROM) was for both old and new gene. I will build the old gene version eventually. I dont have this phone so it takes some time for me to do that.
Good luck and thanks for your good words guys!
Black Metal Rom
Million thanks Sumit. I am downoading the rom now and the feedback will follow tomorrow.
Cheers!!
what type of changes u made in xip to windows live work ?

Hey Guys!
Wait is over. Here is another nice ROM for everybody to enjoy. This time, its with Manilla 2D and as with my previous ROMs, its fully loaded and everythings working the way it should be. Its a no nonsense, no compromise ROM. I've tested it quiet thoroughly for last 3 days and found it quiet stable and speedy.
I give it the name BlackMetal. The name is inspired by the design of ROM.
Here are the details of it:
ROM's base operating system version is CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 20270.1.3.1)
Free Memory at Startup : 23.11 MB initially, After normal use for 5-10 mins : 20.10 MB
Free User Space : 44.29 MB
Page Pool : 5 MB
I have created it with my own ported XIP from WM 6 Original Rom for P3400i using Ramerson's Kitchen (my favourite) for GENE.
Here are some screen shots from the ROM:
I have also attached the individual images of screen shots with this post.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The XIP that came with this ROM has many things missing, so i extracted the XIP, re-ported it using the Original P3400i WM6 ROM's XIP as base and created a new rom-hdr.nb using this XIP. In simple words, i recreated the whole BASE folder in the kitchen.
@All P3400 OLD GENE Owners:
Guys, be patient. I'll do the porting thing tonight and maybe upload it tonight or tomorrow. Its not like just pressing a button guys, i will need to port the whole XIP again. It takes about 1.5 hours of work.
@swapnil: Buddy the kitchen is quiet huge in size. And its even not complete yet, i use parts of kitchen from Old Users ROM and Part from this new ROM. So its a little more complicated than you think. The Base kitchen that i am using is Ramerson's and Ankit's manilla ROM. So if you really want to learn the process, get these two and read a lot on XIP porting etc on this forum. I have also learn that way. Porting a ROM requires a bit of understanding of the whole architecture of the OS. And even greater if you want to optimize it.
And by the way, when you use Ramerson's kitchen for porting a different ROM, the only thing you can use from the original kitchen is the kitchen.exe file and 1-2 files from the BASE folder. Rest is created from the ROM you are porting, its your job to create it. When you understand the process, you can use this fact as a hint
And guys, one request. Please dont Quote the original post in which i posted details about the ROM with your replys. It looks ugly and serves no purpose. Thank you
Attached thumbnail. LOL

Enjoy!
Problem Resolutions:
-----------------------------------------------------
1. Active Sync starting up automatically.
Solution:
Step 1. See the solution given in Pro Users ROM WM 6.1 edition thread.
Step 2. I addition to that here is something that will get rid of the problem forever (next hard reset i mean )
- Open DotFred's task manager and go to Notifications tab.
- Look for all notifications that have repllog.exe in the "Notified Programs" and the value "AppRunAfterTimeChange" in Argument column. Delete these entries (button for deletion is in the bottom toolbar). In most cases there will be two such entries.
-Reboot the phone.
Thats it. ActiveSync wont start on its own now. Please note that even after you do this step, the previous "Fake Server" fix is still needed to be applied. Both of these work together.
Recommended Addons :
--------------------------
1. Advance Configuration Tool : Can be used to change advanced system settings. Some of the most popular settings are to disable dialer themes, tuning filesystem cache for increased performance and enabling battery icon in taskbar on home screen instead of clock. Use it carefully though as some of the settings are a bit dangerous, specially the touchflo touch sensitivity settings.
2. EzInput ABC Default : Sets ABC as the default mode for the new keyboards instead of T9.
3. ClearTemp: Cleanup accumulated junk from your phone using this.
4. Disable XT9 by DuttyThroy: Disables the ET9 and XT9 dictionary system that comes with EZInput keyboards and enables default Windows Mobile's dictionary.
5. HomeScreenPlusPlus with Clock Theme: If you ever get bored with Manila, use it as your homescreen plugin for a good look. Also comes with a very capable task manager and OMAP processor Overclocker (use with caution!!)
6. I-Contact Version .9 and PointUI Modified blue theme NEW!!: Finger Friendly Contact Application. This version is ultra fast! Loads contacts even faster than the default Windows Mobile Contacts app. Amazing!!! And it has settings icons too, but its in Start>Settings>System instead on Programs. I have also included the PointUI theme that closely matches the color scheme of this ROM. I have modified it for working with this ROM.
7. M2DC (Manila 2D Customizer) : It can be used to customize some of the aspects of Manila 2D as well as installing new themes.
8. NEW!! Audio Manager 2.2 Minimal Install : Use the 5 files in the zip file to upgrade your audio manager to version 2.2. This update would be part of any further release of this ROM. For a complete description and download, see this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3295813&postcount=178

Vanilla Manilla
I really cant wait to get back home and flash this new rom..........
@Sumit..... Buddy I am facing a problem with Active Sync since a couple of days (I use vista). The first time when I sync the phone it works but the next time it shows sync error. so I have to delete the partnership and set up device again, this solves the problem but only for one time. the next time I have to sync I have to do the same, meaning delete the partnership and set up device again. I have also noticed that the My Documents folder of the phone on my pc is missing. Im using the new windows mobile device centre...Please help!!
any thing new for old gene
hi
u planning on the same for old gene if so kindly do give me the link
thanks
hari
@nevermind_me: Yes that is an issue with Microsoft Outlook actually. When you start to sync your phone, right click on the taskbar on your PC and click "Task Manager". Go to the "Processes" tab. There, in the "Image Name" column, you will see two instances of "Outlook.exe" running. If you will look at the "Memory (Private Working Set)" column, one will be using higher amount of memory and other will be using lower amount of memory. Kill the outlook.exe which is using more memory and the sync will start.
@svrhari: Yes i will upload an old gene version and when it will be uploaded, you'll get a link in this thread in post #1 as i always do. I will also update the thread title so keep checking for that.

Hey Guys!
I made this ROM for my private use but on demand from my fellows here, i am presenting it here. I have removed some of the personalizations like my photo on splash screen . This ROM is based on the same core as BlackMetal ROM but i have removed most of the bugs from that base. I am doing some research on new builds of Windows Mobile CE OS so there will be something new soon. But for the meanwhile, this is what i have for you.
It has Manilla 2D Elfin Build but with Opal theme. All the software that were there in BlackMetal are here too. Basically some bugs have been fixed, some software versions have been updated, some themes changes and a few utilities added.
I named it VanillaManila because its a pure vanilla rom with manila 2D in all its originality.
Here are the details of it:
Base Operating System version is CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 20270.1.3.1)
Free Memory at Startup : 22.80 MB initially, After normal use for 5-10 mins : 20.18 MB
Free User Space : 40.69 MB
Page Pool : 5 MB
I have created it with my own ported XIP from WM 6 Original Rom for P3400i using Ramerson's Kitchen (my favourite) for GENE.
Here are some screen shots from the ROM:
I have also attached the individual images of screen shots as a rar file with this post.

For New Gene (Version 1.0) :

For OLD Gene (Version 1.0) :
Live Skydrive : http://cid-988261b694475a67.skydriv...e/ROMs/SumitsVanillaManillaWM6.1|_OldGene.exe NOT TESTED YET! PLEASE KEEP A WORKING ROM WITH YOU BEFORE FLASHING THIS AND REPORT ANY SUCCESS IMMEDIATELY IN THIS THREAD. THANKS!
Please NOTE:
1.Please apply the Opal today theme the first time you boot your phone after flashing. Otherwise you wont get flat title and soft key bar and WK task will have a different background color. Will fix it if i get some time.
2. A duplicate installation of Audio Manager is created in \Program Files folder for an unknown reason. You can safely delete it.
ROM is complete, with all parts of OS intact and HTC's original OEM apps in it with updated versions of some. Apart from SQM, Windows Update and Welcome center, nothing is missing from it.
Main Features
* WM 6.1 with Manilla 2D Elfin + Opal version with Windows Live working
* Manila Opal themes for main applications like Manilla 2D plugin, Phone Dialer, Windows Media Player, Calculator, Comm Manager etc.
* WKTask, an advance task manager and program launcher which shows icons of running programs on task bar and manages them very smoothly. Its the primary task manager used in this ROM. HTC task manager is not there as i think its not of much use along with this one. Tweaks have been pre-applied to WKTask so that it doesn't shows Manila2D.exe in the task list and does not hides any icons.

- Arcsoft MMS Composer 5_0_31_16

Problem kindly advise
hi
im not able to see my zip files on my SD card it showing like some kinda windows file and im not able to use the same
kindly adivse
Using : sumits vanilamanila 6.1 for old gene
@hari: Ya, actually zip program is not included in this ROM. PocketRAR is there for it. Open PocketRAR and on first run it will ask you to associate zip and RAR files with it. Check both boxes and click ok. Now your zip files will open in PocketRAR. If you have opened it previously and cancelled this box then open WinRAR, Click on Tools>Settings and on the Integration tab, check both boxes and click OK. That will solve your problem
@hari: please don't quote the original post with your replies. Thats useless and makes it difficult for other people to read them specially for those who read it on their PDAs. And quote only the part you are referring to not the whole useless thing. Ok. Please edit your post if its not a problem for you.

Open the music tab and let Audiomanager rebuild it database. But be aware that every time you visit the music tab, Audio Manager is started, since the tab actually uses audio manager to play back audio

Actually Hari, Whever you go to the music tab on home screen, it will start the audio manager automatically. THis is the default behaviour of Manilla 2D (The thing that you are using on your home screen with tabs, clock, weather, music etc, its called Manilla 2D). To close Audio Manager, click and hold on it, then click close. When it will start for the first time, it will search for music files on your sd card as well as phone memory so it may seem unresponsive. Let it do that once. After that it will start normally.

So, are you a MilliVanilli Fan ?
BTW, on a serious note, is it faster than BlackMetal?

Changelog | fixed | updated | expected
Changelog
May 13th 2012.
240Mhz constant SAFE overclocking. Follow the steps carefully.
Disclaimer : I'm not responsible if any damage is caused to your device if you don't follow the steps carefully. The next rom update(if lucky) will be having this feature right out of the box.
Instructions :
Download the following file from the link below and unzip.
Install omap_omapclock.cab to device memory.(not storage card). (also you should have Resco Explorer V8.0 or higher installed.)
Remove omapClock folder inside Omap folder program files after installation and past it inside /Program Files/ itself.(no sub folders).
Rename omapClock folder to OmapClock.
Finally OmapClock.exe should be in your /Program Files/OmapClock/ folder on your device.
Open File Explorer on your device and open Omapclock.exe. Set it to 240Mhz.(not more than that !).
ISSUE : Suspending the device at this point will cause the speed to be reset back to default. (we'll solve this in the steps below).
Open Resco Explorer and go to the /Program Files/OmapClock/ folder. Locate the OmapClock.exe file and hold the stylus on this file until menu pops. Choose “Copy”.
Now browse to \Windows\Startup then hold stylus in an empty area and when menu pops, choose paste shortcut.
Hold the stylus on the newly created OmapClock shortcut and choose Properties then click the Shortcut tab.
Target should be: “\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe” –clock 240
Soft reset and test. Suspending the device will reset the device back to the default speed.
Now install DinarSoft MemMaid from my package u downloaded in step 1.
Open MemMaid and choose the Notification queue button/tab on the bottom (second from left) then click the ADD button.
For Program, click the browse button and browse to the shortcut you created in steps 9-10. The location of the shortcut is \Windows\Startup.
From the event dropdown choose “The device woke up”.
Click Add.
Soft reset and you are done. The Clock speed will remain at the specified speed you specified in step 11 even when the device comes out of suspend.

Bug Fixes | Additional Packages
Bug Fixes :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Sumit for providing us the Bug fixes.i have posted all the bug fixes from Sumit's W.M. 6.1 thread Here.i have omitted the additional steps for gene users to see all the bug fixes from my thread by directly providing them from Sumit's thread.
Problem Resolutions and FAQ:
------------------------
1. The Camera Applications shows little anomalies like number blinking at bottom of screen, hang if left direction key is pressed etc..?
Solution: Use the registry file in CameraFix.zip and incorporate it into your registry using some registry editor or the provided Task Manager 2 application provided in ROM.
2.How to configure Hotmail's Pop3 Access in default messaging application of Windows Mobile without using Windows Live?
Solution: Create a new email account as usual and use these details:
Step 1:
Email Address: Your email but dont use @hotmail.com, instead use something else like htmail.com or something like that. Please not that this is only necessary if your email address end in @hotmail.com. Other Windows Live users dont need to do this.
Password: Your Password.
Step 2:
Uncheck the checkbox : Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet
Step 3:
Select "Internet E-Mail" as your service provider.
Step4:
Enter your name and an account name.
Step 5:
Incoming Mail Server: pop3.live.com
Account Type : POP3
Step 6:
Username : Your email address (full email including @hotmail.com or any other windows live address that you have. This time give it correctly)
Password: Your Password.
Step 7:
Outgoing (SMTP) mail Server: smtp.live.com
Check the box "Outgoing Server requires authentication" and "Use the same username and password for sending mail."
Click "Advance Server Settings". Check the boxes "Use SSL for Incoming Mail" and "Use SSL for outgoing mail". Select "The Internet" as Network connection and then click "Done."
Step 8:
Select the Automatic update interval you want or manual for no automatic mail checking.
Click Finish.
Now open the account in Messaging and click Menu>Tools>Options. Click the account name, click "Edit Account Setup" and change the email address to the real one.Click Next, Next untill Finish and then click ok to close the options menu.
Thats it. Hotmail will be accessible from messaging now.
3. ActiveSync Starts up Again and Again Automatically Even When the Phone is Not Connected to USB cable or Bluetooth
Solution: It happens for some strange reasons that i haven't been able to find but for now there is a workaround for it.
For Users who use Exchange server with ActiveSync will have no problem if they have set the update schedule to manual. Otherwise, if you are using the push mail feature of exchange, then ActiveSync will run all the time for syncing and that is very normal.
For User who dont use Exchanage server, they should create a fake server and then set the update schedule to manual to prevent ActiveSync from running on its own. Here are the steps for that.
First of all, configure ActiveSync with your PC if you want to sync with PC using the usual method. After that:
1. Open Activesync on your phone and from the menu choose Configure Server...
2. Enter any email address. Clear the checkbox titled "Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings Automatically". Click Next.
3. In server address, enter localhost or anything else. Click next.
4. Enter any username, password and domain name. I mean random strings. Also check save password checkbox.
5. Clear all the checkboxes in the "Data you want to synchronize" list. Click Finish.
6. Open Menu>Schedule. Here set both the dropdown lists to "Manually" and clear both the checkboxes. Click OK and close ActiveSync.
Plus as an additional step, delete the unneeded notification for Active Sync. To do that :
1. Open DotFred's task manager (Task Manager 2) and go to the Notifications tab.
2. In "Notified Programs", search for repllog.exe. You will most probably find 3 entries for it.
3. Scroll horizontally and out of these 3 or what ever entries, find those which have the entry "AppRunAtTimeChange" or "AppRunAfterTimeChange". Delete these entries, using the third icon from left on the bottom toolbar.
ActiveSync wont give you any problems after this.
4. Audio Booster doesn't allows entering Equalizer settings and checking the equalizer checkbox + Missing Audiobooster Option in Audio Managers Menu
Solution: This is not a problem and happens with some versions of AudioBooster and Audio Manager, if their version numbers are different. To resolve it :-
Just start AudioManager, let it build its library a little and then play a song for minimum 5 seconds. After that start AudioBooster, adjust one of its sliders a little. Then soft reset your phone, and both the problems will be solved. What happens is, they create their respective registry settings on first start and after that everything is fine. In Original ROMs from HTC, since on first boot the Customization applications runs, it sets up the registry itself. But even with that, you have to reboot your device anyway.
5. Audio Manager and Windows Media Player stop playback if power button is pressed and phone enters suspend mode.
Solution: First of all, Thanks to Shaunak.it for finding the solution.
This problem occurs in some specific builds of gene. It can occur in old gene and new gene both. So here is what it is like:
Normally, If you press the power button while music is playing, Audio Manager and Windows Media Player stop playback. But this only happens when headset is not connected. If headset is connected, the playback wont stop.This is a standard behavior and not a problem. But on some p3400 and P3400i phones, the playback stops no-matter headset is connected or not. I was not able to find the solution for this problem as it was not happening with me. But a friend of ours from this forum, shaunak.it solved it as he was having this annoyance. Here's what you have to do:
Open the Task Manager Advanced. Click the down faced arrow to the right of the screen and select Regedit from the menu. Now in the folder tree on the upper half of the screen, Navigate to :
For AudioManager:
HKLM > Software > HTC > Audio Manager > Config
In the lower section, look for a value called ENTER_SUSPEND. If its there, double tap on it to edit it and enter 0 as new value. Otherwise, in an empty area in the same place, tap and hold for a while for a context menu to appear. Select New > Value. Select REG_DWORD as Value Type. In the name field, type ENTER_SUSPEND. Click the Set Data button and enter 1 as the value. Click Ok and then again Ok.
For Windows Media Player
HKLM > System > Current Control Set > Control > Power > State > Suspend. Again in the lower left corner look for a value named WAV, if its there, double tap to edit it and then enter 0 as its new value. Otherwise, in an empty area in the same place, tap and hold for a while for a context menu to appear. Select New > Value. Select REG_DWORD as Value Type. In the name field, type WAV. Click the Set Data button and enter 0 as the value. Click Ok and then again Ok.
Secondly, in the same way go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > MediaPlayer >Preferences and create or modify the DWORD value
"UnattendedPlayback" and set it to 1.
I am attaching a .reg file to do this automatically. Just go to the Task Manager advance and on the registry tab click the first icon in the bottom icon bar and click Import.. and browse to this file and select it.
This will solve your problem.

Note on development...
I have a development version which I've been working on which can do a lot more with the facebook api, however it is far from complete or bug free, but it was able to post comments, read all the status updates/wall posts of all your friends etc etc. I was also playing around with different GUI aspects but I hit several limits with the Sense SDK I was using etc.
Anyway, basically I've not had any time to look at it for the last few months, and the best course of action is to scrap it and let the XdaFacebook App team use the ties I was planning to use to link the tab to an application. Hopefully I can get a few of my ideas and suggestions put into the app, so the vision I had for the tab can still be realised. Since I'm not using facebook that much at the moment, I think this is the best way for the tab to move forward and provide more for everyone.
Hopefully as my work on the RSSTab continues, the main core of the Facebook tab (the HTC engine) can be replaced by the XdaFacebook app, so all the data in the tab can be populated directly from the same source. Although this will be a while off, this will be the best solution in the end.
Donations
PayPal:
if you use the facebook tab and would like my work to continue
I purposely did not include a donate button on the 1st release since although I had made several changes to the tab a lot of it was purely HTC functionality (and it would have been hard to understand what was my own work and what HTC have already included).
I did not feel it was fair to ask for donations where my own work on it was not clear.
However, since the 1st release I have been working very hard on this project, I have spent many hours/days/weeks testing and experimenting with the facebook api and with ensuring that the new additions will work not only on my device but will function for everyone (believe me it's a frustrating task).
So if you like using the tab (or if I've helped you get it working), and if you feel my work deserves it then please make a small donation, even if it's a few cents (even a tiny bit shows your appreciation).
Any donations will be spent on things to help me focus on developing the tab further, first up is a new battery (only $15!) as my phone has suffered from the many resets it has taken to test the sense code so far, so I really need to get a backup one. Hopefully that isn't a huge ask.
New phone battery is on it's way, many thanks to the total of 3 detonator so far. Next up, although I'm not confident on this one, is a battery for my laptop so I can program without being tethered to a power socket (and losing my work when it disconnects - have about 10 seconds before it dies). Again, I plan to get it from a cheep place so it's not too expensive, just something which only needed for this hobby.
It all shows that my work means something.
Information on the facebook api
When I started looking into the facebook api (something I said I wouldn't do I know) I discovered "Facebook Developer Toolkit", excellent I thought, my work is done, plug it in and away we go.
However, investigating further Microsoft had taken over the toolkit, the compact framework (as used by Windows Mobile) had been dropped (since Jan 14 2008) and they are only just building SilverLight support into it (windows phone 7). Add to that, facebook have introduced the GraphApi which replaces the Api implemented in the Jan 2008 build (and I don't think it's in the current Tookkit yet).
You might guess the next bit, after a lot of work, I have the outline of my own Fb Graph Api support. The next release shall be the foundation point of this work, if successful the remainder of my test code can be built in (but I didn't want to delay things any longer and I needed to see if it works on-mass first).
It has taken a lot to get it to this point - my only other windows mobile app was "Hello Worlde" so once again I have been starting from scratch and learning A LOT:
I hope you enjoy my hard work.
This release is to bring the general release up to speed with my current work, it may not appear to be significant in added functionality but believe me it is the stepping stone required for what comes next...
Information on the tab.
The origins of the facebook tab is the relocation of the HTC People Update's tab which is built into sense already. The mod originally moved this functionality into the main tabs and added a few extra features, therefore enabling everyone to enjoy the built in facebook functionality without hunting to find it, but also enjoy the excellent features HTC had already integrated.
Since then, I've been working hard to extend the features which the tab provides, improve the options for how things are displayed and allow easy configuration. Overtime, more features will be included and hopefully support for external apps perhaps.
Please don't badger for specific facebook features, I'm well aware I can't do comments, pokes, likes, notifications etc etc, but the current release is a huge step toward that and hopefully it will come in time.
Read and understand the above information before asking for features, but this is what I still hope to do (again don't post asking for them if it's on this list!).
To Do
192X version See patch in post below
Stage 2 of Facebook Api
[*]Use extra space at top of landscape mode
Include sense language selection HKCU\MUI\CurLang
Handle senseSDK version exception
[*]Support non-standard chars on Status Update post to facebook
[*]Remove item list scroll lag
Development Progress
[MOD][SENSE2.5TAB] Facebook Tab - Developer Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=663494
Note:
The development work is on going and I will release the next version when there is something essential and must-have implemented.
I would rather spend time developing new features than releasing tiny updates of little significance.
Known Issues
Will not work on manila 2.5.1921xxxx or lower (and some ROMs) - use 192x Install Patch (see Install post#3)!
It seems there are two versions of the facebook engine and the older one (used by 2.5.192x and some other ROMs) the 0DE73B01_manila file is smaller (~41k) than the newer version (~47k).
If you have the older version (small file), then you must use the 192x version of the tab or the tab will be un-usable and crash sense.
Info for cooks
See section "Can we cook this in a ROM?" in post #2 for EXT file etc.

Warnings etc
Modifying manila means various levels of messing around with the files on the device so, as with most of the mods on here, back-up often and be prepared to screw it up and hard-reset your device. All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.

Facebook Tab Settings v1.6
The settings page is split into 5 main sections.
If any settings are adjusted, the user will be able to apply the settings from this page or to discard the changes.
The exception is within the Facebook Api Settings page where the authorisation keys are stored as soon as they are obtained.
Selection between normal and advanced settings (A) are set by the "Enable Advanced Settings" checkbox within the Advanced setting section.
Note: Any changes to any Advanced settings may cause issues with the operation of the tab if done incorrectly, so make sure you understand the purpose of these settings before you change them. They are marked as Advanced settings for a reason!
1 - Data Connections
Normal(1) Advanced(2)
Enable auto update timer[]
- Enable this setting if you wish the tab to automatically update for the specified period (this is independent of the HTC Download data automatically setting below).
Update internal in mins XX
- Period before automatic update occurs. Note: This appears only to run when the tab is selected, timer is reset on entry to the tab. Range is currently limited to 1-99 mins.
Download data when roaming
- I've not tested this much (I keep my data connections disabled). This setting controls if data connections should be allowed when roaming (not sure if that's general mobile connections via GPRS & 3G or when you are not on your foreign cell network). This setting is the setting available in the old HTC setting page.
(A) Download data automatically
- HTC 2 hour automatic update of the facebook data. Included in case you need to disable it (this runs independently from the above update timer).
2 - App & Web Shortcuts
Normal(1) Advanced(2&3)
Select Facebook Application
- Select which application is launched via Menu->Facebook App. Also selects which item to edit/delete in advanced mode.
Select Facebook Webpage:
- Select which webpage is launched via Menu->Facebook Online. Also selects which item to edit/delete in advanced mode.
(A) Delete Selected Application/Webpage
- removes the selected item from the list
(A) Edit Selected Application/Webpage
- Opens up the edit page for the current item (see below)
(A) Add New Application/Webpage
- Opens up the add new item page (see below)
Edit/Add Application(1) Edit/Add Webpage(2)
(A) Add/Edit Application/Webpage
(A) Display Name
- sets the name to use in setting page to refer to the application/webpage
(A) Shortcut
- the url/file path can be edited here directly.
(A) Browse to path (applications only)
- Opens the select file page to allow you to browse to and select the required exe.
Note: When you have selected the exe file by pressing it, "Select" will appear as the bottom right soft-key. You can "Select" the exe or "Cancel" if you wish.
(A) Additional arguments
- Some applications/pages may support additional arguments, which can be added here.
3 - Facebook Api Settings
Normal (Internal Authorisation Method)(1) Normal (External Authorisation Method)(2)
Note: Unlike the other settings pages, changes made the authorisation key are saved directly to the registry.
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.
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.
Advanced (Internal Authorisation Method)(1) Advanced (External Authorisation Method)(2)
(A) Advanced Api settings (applies to both methods):
Note: These settings will default back to the original settings when the settings page is closed. This ensures the best settings are selected each time, unless the user specifically desires otherwise.
(A) Select authorisation page format
- Determines the format of the page facebook provides for authorisation. At times some pages may not be available, also some work better with the internal browser than others. You should only need to change this if you have a problem.
(A) Application Permissions
- Allows you to enable/disable the permissions you allow the "HTC FbTab" application to have. All are set to enable, since you will probably want to give the app permissions, but I want to provide the choice.
(A) Status Update
- Clearly you will need this if you wish to post updates from the tab.
(A) Offline Access
- Without this the permission will only last until you log out of facebook. Unlikely you would want to disable this option.
(A) Read Feeds
- This permission is not currently used by the application, however, it will be in later releases so if left enabled you can keep your current authorisation for later releases.
4 - File Path Settings
Normal(1) Advanced(2&3)
Hide facebook events
- Disables events being shown on the facebook tab.
Note: Events for the current day are still shown.
Event Notice Period (days)
- Specify the number of days before an event is due to occur before it is displayed on the tab.
Facebook Utility:
- In normal mode, this is read-only (Advanced mode you can edit it directly). If the stored path does not match the location of the FacebookUtil.exe, then a button shall be displayed to update it. If this is not set correctly, the tab will not open the settings pages or status update pages correctly, so it is important if you move FacebookUtil.exe, you run it from it's new location and update this item.
(A) Location of facebook profile pictures:
- For info only, this is a fixed location defined by the HTC dll.
(A) Location of facebook albums:
- Defines where the pictures are stored when you view people's facebook albums via the HTC tab's subpage "Updated Album" or "Open Online Album" links.
(A) Browse to path:
- Allows you to browse to a specific path to update the above location. "Select" appears when you are able to select the current folder.
(A) My Status Transfer Method
(A) Use Facebook Utility
- Allows you to define which method is used to copy the registry item which holds your most recent status update. You should only need to change this if you experience problems or slow response on the tab (this is less important on v1.6 since this is not run as often).
(A) Browse to path:
- Allows you to browse to a specific path to update the above location. "Select" appears when you are able to select the current exe.
(A) Additional arguments
- If required for the selected method.
eg.
Using Mortscript
App: \Windows\mortscript.exe
Argument: \Windows\FacebookStatusScript.mscr
Using FacebookStatusUpdate.exe
App: \Windows\FacebookStatusUpdate.exe
Argument: blank
(A) MS Facebook Application
(A) Cache location
- Allows you to change where the MS facebook application caches it's data
(A) Days to clear Cache:
- Number of days before MS facebook application the cache is cleared. (Limit 1-99 days).
5 - Advanced
Enable Advanced Settings
- Allows (A) advanced settings to be seen.
Note: Any changes to any Advanced settings may cause issues with the operation of the tab if done incorrectly, so make sure you understand the purpose of these settings before you change them. They are marked as Advanced settings for a reason!
Language Setting
Note:
The language settings here are independent of your language settings for sense itself.
Use device language
- The settings page will detect the devices language and use the correct language file if present. Otherwise it will default to UK English.
Application language setting:
- You can select a different language for the settings pages here. You will need to ensure you have the correct language file within your windows folder, otherwise the selection will be rejected.
If the file is reported as invalid, then there is probably an error in the xml formatting (you can double check the file by naming it .xml and opening via internet explorer).

FAQ
When I scroll to the tab, sense freezes and it is un-usable
It seems there are two versions of the facebook engine and the older one (used by 2.5.192x and some other ROMs) the 0DE73B01_manila file is smaller (~41k) than the newer version (~47k).
If you have the older version (small file), then you must use the 192x version of the tab or the tab will be un-usable and crash sense (see the FAQ It doesn't work for Manila 192X? below).
Tab freezes on 1st update and is unstable
I've found this sometimes occurs if you have restored your contacts after flashing a ROM (so you have lots of links which need updating all at once), although it may only occur on some ROMs [however I've found the people tab has the same problem, so it related to the HTC built in functions].
Ideally:
Setup the HTC facebook link and perform the 1st update without your contacts restored.
Otherwise:
Remove the links (via the contact card in the people tab)
Perform the update (from within the People Updates tab might also help)
After update has finished, it'll probably list the contact matches it finds again (don't forget to manually link any you linked manually before)
This way the when the links are re-added info like the contact pictures etc are already downloaded (done during the link process) and the process probably uses less resources.
From that point on, it is improved.
Menu item X does not work (i.e Settings)
Make sure you run "FacebookUtil.exe" from where-ever you installed it and update the "Facebook Utility Path" as described in the manual install sections.
Launch App/Web does not work (i.e. I get a Certificate error)
Make sure you have the application installed and the link is correct. Use the advanced (A) settings within the "File Path Settings" section of the settings page.
Updates were working, but have since stopped, how to do I get them working again?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9688442&postcount=1375
(Thanks to Yusuke14 for confirming this solution)
1. Remove the registry keys located in:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager\Facebook**** keys.
2. Via Settings tab on Sense, within the Data Services option, re-enter your facebook info
I can't see any updates from my friends!
You can create blank contacts with the facebook names as the contact name without a phone number or anything and it should still pick up and prompt for the links automatically.
You can even link any contact manually to a particular facebook contact via "Edit Contact" -> Facebook Link (Associate with Facebook Account) at the bottom bit of the contact editor.
Also you will need to sign into facebook via HTC first, before any contacts will be linked, it should prompt you to do this if you haven't already when you refresh (i.e. via People Page, Updates&Events page or your settings tab Data Services).
Remember though, if the person has privacy settings set high within their facebook account, you may not see updates from them (this is a limit of the HTC code).
It appears the HTC updates only go back so far in time so really old updates don't appear and it does not support non-text updates either (so url links etc are not shown).
Other User tips:
skyli91: You can link facebook to someone pretty fast if you go to Updates and Events in his/her Details page and here, the phone suggests some FB friends from the contact's name.
Agent Zach: You could link all of your contacts manually if the tab isn't giving you the option to do so.
Contacts Tab > All People > [Pick a Contact] > Edit Contact > Link
And if you want to Update the Status', etc.. the HTC way (outside of the Facebook Tab), in your contacts list, slide over to Updates & Events, click Menu, and click "Update Now".
It doesn't work for Manila 192X & some versions of sense?
There are two versions of the files which drive this tab, the tab is based on the later one. So if the tab does not work after you install it you may have the older version...
- Locate 0de73b01_manila in your windows folder.
IF the filesize is around 41Kb then you have the older 192x files and you require the patch.
IF the filesize is around 47Kb then you have the newer 2010 files and you do NOT require the patch (your problem is somewhere else).
DO NOT INSTALL THE PATCH IF YOUR FILE VERSION IS NOT CORRECT
To install the patch follow instructions in the install post#3 below.
Why is the install so complicated?
The install is complicated since the tab control file contains references to each available tab on your device. Every ROM has a different combination of tabs available and so this file is different for each ROM. If you install a copy of the Tab Control file which includes tabs which aren't on your device, manila will not work, if you install one which doesn't include all the tabs on your device, those tabs won't be available any more.
Many many people have managed to install the tab, through various ways, so there are plenty of people here who will help you out. Obviously make sure you have plenty of time available, just in case. Please keep backups of your tab control file (26948339_manila) as this will help you if you run into trouble.
Can we cook this in a ROM?
Yes, files will hopefully be provided for that within the thread (and I am happy for it to be included).
If you don't know what to do with EXT files (like me) then don't use them!

Dual Cab Upgrade using Separate Cabs [meltwater_FbTabV1.6(SeperateCabs)-2.zip]
UPGRADING (note there is nothing different to v1.6):
If you already have the tab installed, then you can use either cab package, however instead of Adding the tab, you will need to "Reset Sense" - Del ManilaFull.xml either from SenseUtil or manually (stop sense, delete the file from windows and restart sense).
FAQ: My ROM shows double tab icons when selected (typically applies to NRG ROMs)
A: Delete or rename 1F04C842_manila in windows, this file is not required for your ROM. You will then need to "Reset Sense".
B]Latest version of Sense Util is available here
Captain Throwback's Cab Install Instructions:
Captain Throwback's Cab Install
Disable Sense from Today items.
Install CAB [Attached to post#1 - meltwater HTC FbTab v1.6.cab] (this will create a shortcut to "FixStartManila" in your Start Menu)
Tap "FixStartManila" to run it. It will likely seem like nothing happened.
Tap "FixStartManila" a second time. This time, you will likely see the wait cursor, which will stay for 10 seconds or so.
Re-enable Sense in Today items.
Done!
Please make sure you follow the instructions for the cab, and particularly if you uninstall (there are extra steps need afterwards compared to a normal cab).
Captain Throwback's Cab Un-Install
To Uninstall:
Disable Sense
uninstall the CAB
run "T-Back Remove Facebook Tab.cab" (Attached to this post) to restore Sense to it's original state (either that ,or you can download FixStartManila from the GPS Tab thread see Manila Sense Fix section below)
When you re-enable Sense, you should be without FB tab (note that if you've installed other tabs since flashing your ROM, they will not show up using my CAB - in that case, I recommend MoonNah's CAB).
Manual Install/Un-install Instructions:
v1.6 Manual New Install Instructions
Warnings etc
Modifying manila means various levels of messing around with the files on the device so, as with most of the mods on here, back-up often and be prepared to screw it up and hard-reset your device. All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
ONLY USE THIS METHOD IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE TAB ALREADY INSTALLED.
If you do not have the tab installed then you shall need to ensure the tab control file is updated correctly to allow sense to include it.
Download the manual install package from post #1.
Disable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items.
Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
Extract the files from the folder "TabFiles\Windows\" to the windows directory on your device. Plus ensure you copy "Facebook_Pages.xml" to "\Windows\ManilaXml".
Update your tab control file (26948339_manila) from \Windows folder:
The files may be hidden system files (may need to enable viewing of system hidden files to find them). Keep an original copy of your 26948339_manila file (i.e copy as 26948339_manila_backup).
Scott8813's tutorial show's the steps required to edit the tab control file in more detail if you are unsure on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6004802&postcount=216)
Edit your tab control file (26948339_manila) from your \windows\ directory (you can use the example in the zip file \tabcontrol\ as a guide, use a UTF-16 Compatible Editor such as Notepad2 or Programmers Notepad.
a) Insert the following text, between the other "pages" defined, replacing the X with suitable number (re-numbering the others as required to avoid duplicated numbers):
Code:
<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
b) Copy back completed file to your device \windows\ directory
Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Import the registry entries from appFacebook.reg file into your devices registry.
Note: You may need adjust the default path settings for the example application links etc to match the applications you have installed and their locations.
Extract the "FacebookUtil" folder to "Program Files\FacebookUtil" (I would recommend on your device rather than storage card).
Run "FacebookUtil.exe", from where you've copied it to and Update the Facebook Utility's "Stored Path to Current" within the "File Path Settings" page, and "Apply" the change.
Re-enable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items (it will take a little longer than normal to re-start the 1st time).
Enjoy. (Don't forget to authorise to allow Updating of your status).
v1.6 Manual 192x Patch Install Instructions
There are two versions of the files which drive this tab, the tab is based on the later one. So if the tab does not work after you install it you may have the older version...
Check the version of the files you have:
- Locate 0de73b01_manila in your windows folder.
IF the filesize is around 41Kb then you have the older 192x files and you require the patch.
IF the filesize is around 47Kb then you have the newer 2010 files and you do NOT require the patch (your problem is somewhere else).
DO NOT INSTALL THE PATCH IF YOUR FILE VERSION IS NOT CORRECT
Patch the install:
Install the tab as normal (see above - via cab or manually).
Download the attached zip file:
192xFbTabPatchRelease
Disable sense
Replace the 090EF4F3_manila in the windows/ folder with the one in the zip file.
Replace the Facebook_Pages.xml in windows/ManilaXml/ folder with the one in the zip file [note this file is universal so later releases will include the updated version of this file already].
Delete manilafull.xml from the windows/ folder.
Restart sense.
To un-install follow the same instructions as for v1.6 normal installation.
Note:
Not all the functions of the normal tab are available in this version (i.e. Expand/Collapse View has been removed).

All the changes explained here may or may-not work on your particular device/version of manila or perhaps it's just not going to happen today.
The easiest and safest option is to simply disable the tab via Settings, Home Screen Tabs. This will stop the tab being run and will have no further impact on sense.
In order to remove all the facebook tab related stuff you will need to follow all the steps:
Disable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items.
Edit your tab control file to remove the following section of code (be sure to renumber the items). Or simply replace the tab control file (26948339_manila) with the backup you made before you installed the tab.
Code:
<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>
Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Delete the following files from "\\windows\":
05FF1072_manila
06C09C86_manila
090EF4F3_manila
1F04C842_manila
33A980DD_manila

Delete the following files from "\\windows\ManilaXml":
Facebook_Pages.xml
Delete the "FacebookUtil" directory from "\\Program Files\" or where-ever you installed it.
Using a registry editor, you can safely delete the following entries (although they will do no real harm if left there):
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Facebook.LaunchAppSel"
"Facebook.LaunchAppNameXX"
"Facebook.LaunchAppXX"
"Facebook.LaunchAppArgsXX"
"Facebook.LaunchWebSel"
"Facebook.LaunchWebNameXX"

"Facebook.AutoUpdateInterval"
"Facebook.AccessToken"
"Facebook.AccessTokenPermission"
"Facebook.ExpandView"
"Facebook.FbApiExe"
"Facebook.FileDialogLastPath"
"Facebook.LangFile"
Note: Some "Facebook.xxxxx" entries will remain (they are also used by the people update tab, so I would recommend you keep them).
Re-enable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items (it will take a little longer than normal to re-start the 1st time).
If sense does not start, double check your tab control file (26948339_manila) edit and perform steps 1, 3, 9 again. Otherwise, refer to "Manila Sense Fix" section below.
Problems?
Unable to authorise?
Facebook has altered the authorisation slightly, so manual paste method needs a little extra care (details here - Thanks to Nullstring).
Basically, facebook has added "#_=_" at the end, which you must remove for the app to extract the required authorisation code from the rest of the url.
Manila Sense Fix - Sense is not starting after install/uninstall
If you run into problems with Sense not starting then there are three things you can do.
1. Run moonnah's B_L_Group_FixStartManila_2.5.cab from the following thread (this should fix any problems with your tab control file):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670116
2. Delete the tab control file (26948339_manila) & "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" and restart your device. Sense will take a while to regenerate so please wait.
3. Post your tab control file (26948339_manila) on the thread and we shall correct any problems and repost it.
Reset Manila Sense - Sense didn't regenerate correctly
Disable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items.
Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this is regenerated when manila restarts).
Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab - the keys only re-generate when you go back to that tab re-ordering page)
Re-enable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items (it will take a little longer than normal to re-start the 1st time).
Cooking issue - Exception when running facebook.exe for the 1st time
This can occur if the ROM includes an older version of the senseSDK dlls than the ones used by the exe (v1.39) - typically CHTE.
Ensure you only have the latest versions of the following files (provided by with the tab):
sensesdk.resources.qvga.dll
sensesdk.resources.vga.dll
stedysoft.sensesdk.dll
Missing menu items after upgrade
Right-hand menu should include the following items:
NEW - Update Status
Facebook App
Facebook Online
NEW - Expand/Collapse View
Settings
If they aren't shown up, ensure you have followed the steps which reset Sense correctly (2,4 & 7 of Manual Upgrade Instructions).
Language Files
Language Files
This release requires updated language files (mainly to support the settings pages).
Please note:
If you are editing the tab control file (26948339_manila) or language files, it is recommended you use an editor which supports the following format:
Line Endings:Unix(LF)
Encoding:UTF-16 Little Endian
Editors such as Programmers Notepad and Notepad2 appear to work well.
To create a language file you need to determine the manila name (using ManilaHash.exe (part of the Manila kitchen package), file-names are listed below):
1. Make a copy of the original base file for your language, with the correct language manila filename.
2. Look at the Facebook tab specific files and add the new entries, with translations as you wish (Make sure you use UTF-16 Compatible Editor)
Sense requires the following file format:
Line Endings:Unix(LF)
Encoding:UTF-16 Little Endian
3. Upload to this thread, and it will be added to the list.
[Note:The tab name "Facebook" is specified in the Tab Control file (26948339_manila), since it didn't appear to be set correctly via the language file, but can change it there if you wish.]

This is a great idea, don't know why HTC decided to do their facebook integration the way they did and not treat Twitter the same way (using the people tab). Couldn't you hook into the data and functions of the facebook tab from HTC's interface and not require mortscript/external exe?

It's a limitation of what is in manila, you can only read from "HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila", unless you are only after a int value.
All the script does (or exe), is the following:
Code:
RegReadString("HKLM", "Software\HTC\FacebookSDK","Status",myStoredStatus)
RegWriteString("HKCU","Software\HTC\Manila","Facebook.MyStatus",myStoredStatus)
Not all the facebook function is within the manila files, some appears to be within ContactEditor.exe which only takes two different arguments from the scripts to get to new/specific Contact Detail Pages, then its internal to the ContactEditor.exe from there (that appears to also include "Update My Status"! ).
Not saying it can't be done, but it's a simple workaround to release it today.
Hmmmm for some reason, I cannot make this to work with my manila2.5_20121324 version...still playing with this...so we will see..thanks for your effort.
Got it installed all ok, but when I go onto the tab it crashes and freezes sense, have to restrat to get control back, but if i go onto the tab again, does the same.

Ok, let me know what happens, I'm only 2.5.2012.1224, don't know what changes are in the people tab since then.

Ok will try to remember if/why it occurred for me during development, 1st thought is error in your tab control file. Perhaps post your ManilaFull.xml file after sense has loaded/generated it.
What version of sense are you running?
EDIT:Are reg settings imported?

manila 2.5.1920
Working with "Manila 2.5 20121225.0_VGA_Amarullz
I have just started to play now. I will post more picture for other users within one hour, for sharing
But somehow, I can not able to see any items at the tab, just like you have at first picture. "Update now" Button seems to be not working properly.
Many Many Thanks Again

Have you got any people linked? You've got lots of status icons, I think the hand one is to link people.
Have a look in your people tab -> updates & events tab at the end (this is the source page!), if you don't have people in there you won't anywhere.
The "update now" button is just moved, from menu in the source page, so check it there.
EDIT: Thanks for the screen, appears to be ok for VGA devices too!
Working perfect!
Thanks for your effort mate
Gonna start again later on, start from fresh and see what happens.

No worries, should be ok if you disable the tab via settings for now.
