Video Demo - See what JZ Browser does when a URL is clicked inside of any app
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

I had some issues with user-friendliness of a Windows Mobile SmartPhone. No copy/paste, no clipboard history, no way to choose a default browser. To supplement this I kept increasing the functionality of my personal little script coded in MortScript. JZ SmartMort is a simple productivity tool for any Windows Mobile user. The software is my attempt to bridge the gap of missing features like:
Copy / Paste
Clipboard / URL history
Multi-browser support (Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, NetFront, Skyfire, Iris, UCWEB, BOLT, jB5, Opera Mini for Windows Mobile, uZard & Internet Explorer)
Make any installed browser system-level, where it opens links from anywhere. Ability to have a default browser (with a special timeout in case you want to open a link with a non-default browser).
Hardware buttons - supports Pocket PCs & SmartPhones for advanced hardware button mapping.
Opera Mini - shortcut on the Start Menu, different paste & URL handling methods to accommodate different phones.
JBed - create Start Menu shortcuts for any JBed app, run JBed App directly using JZ SmartMort, troubleshoot your JBed installation and disable JBed security prompts.
Ability to open synced Mobile Favorites with any browser, process killing and many other interesting features.
Includes general tweaks and hacks which will keep growing.
I'm pasting below the full release notes, REVISION HISTORY and links to the project files. Please review the screenshots of JZ SmartMort which can be seen on this post or at SourceForge. Let me know if you have suggestions.
UNINSTALLING / REMOVING:
If the CAB does not uninstall successfully, the best software to remove JZ SmartMort is SKTools. It did much better at uninstalling than PocketMechanic & MemMaid.
OPERA MINI PASTING ISSUES:
Make sure you have tried an alternative "Opera Mini Paste Method" in JZ Browser options.
Some WM6 & WM6.1 Standard (Smartphone not PPC) may have issues with copy/paste/select-all-copy/JBed pasting, etc. I have the solution for non-QWERTY SmartPhones (just dial-pad) like HTC StarTrek / Cingular 3125, please see THIS POST about T9 vs. eT9 "keyboard driver" a.k.a. the IME driver.
For HTC Excalibur / Dash
Try activating the "ABC" keyboard, not the "T9" by pressing ALT-Space like explained here: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080208202818AAqUt2R
Have a look at this post for Opera Mini instructions specific for HTC Excalibur: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5435424#post5435424

*Note: The CAB is large because it is uncompressed and it includes two versions of MortScript inside (PPC & SmartPhone). My CAB will detect if MortScript is installed, if not, it will install the appropriate version. Once the correct version is installed, it will delete ALL of the un-needed content and save about 500KB of space.
Please DO NOT re-host or distribute my CAB file. There is already a website (SoftPedia and SourceForge) that does not require a login to download my CAB and I get really pissed off when people just start distributing my stuff w/o asking me. I still see my old version 1.4.3 on many sites and that's not fair to users that don't know where to get the new/updated official CAB. Just post a link instead of the actual CAB, which quickly gets outdated anyway.

PPC Only - MortButtons as the JZBrowser GUI
----No Default Browser ------ With Default Browser---
----------------------------------------------------------
What JZ SmartMort for?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The software is meant for SmartPhones and Pocket PC devices running Windows Mobile 2003, 5, 6, 6.1 & 6.5 using Mort's free application MortScript (link #1 & included in CAB) installed as the macro engine mapped to hardware buttons. Most prominent features of the software are the multi-browser/default browser abilities, as well as, copy/paste/clipboard-history. Please make sure check out the Help sections right in the software menus for detailed clarifications.
Browsing: Opera Mini (link #3) is free, some sites look and feel better using Opera Mini, so I wanted to make it a system level browser with the option to revert to IE as needed (link #4). Support for Opera Mobile (link #5), NetFront 3.5 (link #7), Skyfire (link #8), Iris (link #9), UCWEB (link #11), BOLT Browser (link #12) and jB5 Browser (link #13), Opera Mini for Windows Mobile (link #14), uZard Web Browser (link #15). The software allows for managing a default browser while having many different browsers installed. On PocketPC ONLY (touchscreen), MortButtons (v2.4 & above) can be used as the GUI of JZ Browser script when a link/URL is clicked (link #10).
URL Exclusions: URL Exclusions allows user to always open a certain top-level domain name with a specific browser. So even if the URL consists of a huge string, top-level domain is stripped and compared against URL Exclusions. Example: http://google.com/somedir/somefile.htm is diffent from http://www.google.com/some/something.html, and using URL exclusions, all google.com URLs will automatically be openned with a specific browser of choice. Static browser assigned for a top-level domain name.
Hardware Button Mapping: Three different Pocket PC & two different SmartPhone methods for mapping buttons. Check the Help file right under JZ Settings for further information.
Navigation: FakeCursor embedded to assist SmartPhones run such advanced applications like TaskMgr, even though it's only made for a PPC. Map a button to JZ Action script for the best user experience.
Copy/Paste: using Vito CopyPaste or any of the other method available in the software (MortScript based keyboard shortcuts) (link #2).
Clipboard & URL History: Added ability to select from a list of the last items copied to the clipboard.
IE Favorites: Ability to open Internet Explorer (ActiveSynced Favorites), located under \Windows\Favorites, with any web browser that you have installed. Choose from three different methods of opening "Favorites"; this is for speed purposes considering different devices and amount of favorites in folder.
Java: Esmertec JBed (link #6) has specific and advanced support in JZ SmartMort.
Activation: JZ SmartMort comes with a self installer/remover. Once JZ SmartMort CAB is installed, it will check if MortScript is properly installed, if not, it will attempt to install MortScript automatically. The only feature which will self-activate is JZ Browser, all other features will need to be manually activated by running the JZ Settings. If you get an error then you need to verify that you have MortScript installed.
Troubleshooting: Ability to check your JBed health. Also provide a way to fix what Opera Mobile 9 messes up (URL, HTML, ICONS, etc.)
JZ SmartMort works perfectly on my HTC Fuze (Diamond Touch Pro), HTC StarTrek (3125), HTC Kaiser (Tilt), HTC Wizard (8525) & BlackJack II. I also test on WM2003, WM5, WM6 and WM6.1 emulator ROMs from Microsoft.
I use my software every day and I designed it to be the missing link of Windows Mobile. The point was to try to find a workaround for anything WM is missing. Please make suggestions if you think something is worthwhile or if I messed something up.
----------------------------------------------------------
Installation instructions:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Use the CAB file to install JZ SmartMort.
2. If installation of JZ SmartMort errors out (because it's not certified & usually on SmartPhones) the best application unlock tool is this standalone utility: http://www.gpcarreon.com/?p=151
3. Mort has allowed me to distribute his FREE MortScript, when you install JZ SmartMort it will place Mort's CAB files in the "MortScript Installs" folder, found underneath your JZ install location. If MortScript is not installed, after JZ SmartMort CAB file installs, installation of MortScript for your appropriate device will begin. When uninstalling, JZ Browser will deactivate itself and restore Microsoft default settings. If JZ SmartMort is not removing properly, let it overwrite by answering "continue installing" when prompted.
4. Under the Start Menu you will find "JZ Settings" shortcut, which can activate/deactivate all JZ SmartMort features. Activation of JZ Browser functionality will happen during installation of the CAB.
- The JZ Browser activator will allow for http/https links, as well as, .url/.html files (links/favorites transferred through ActiveSync) to be opened with Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, NetFront 3.5, Skyfire, Iris, UCWEB, BOLT, jB5, Opera Mini for Windows Mobile, uZard or IE.
- The JZ Button activator will allow mapping of any command or JZ feature to a hardware button and used for copying, pasting and all else.
5. If you don't have it yet, you should. Phone will need to be application unlocked like in step 2. Get JBed from here:
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407667
- http://www.winmobiletech.com/092007MidletBible/Jbed.zip
6. Get Opera Mini
- To use Opera Mini 3.1, 4 or 4.1 you must download and install the files. Do not use "Opera Mini plus JBed CAB files" because they have drawbacks. Just install the JAR/JAD file yourself by surfing to operamini.com from your device or the PC. Once installed, opening Opera Mini manually then click a link on the welcome screen to go to a site, this will you pass through all initial screens as they get in the way of the macros. Leave all defaults otherwise. You can create shortcuts for Opera Mini using JZ Settings.
- http://www.operamini.com
7. On touchscreen PocketPC devices, MortButtons (v2.4 & above) can be used as the GUI of JZ Browser script when a link/URL is clicked. Way to download is provided in the software if PocketPC is sensed.
- http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&entry=mortbuttons&action=list
8. SKTools does the best job at uninstalling the CAB. PocketMechanic and MemMaid can also be attempted.
----------------------------------------------------------
Functions of the software:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. The CAB installation will initialize JZ Browser as the default on the device. IE or Opera Mobile will no longer be used as the default system browser.
2. A great way to use JZ SmartMort is to map a hardware button to JZ Action or JZ Browser. Many advanced button mapping functions are available in the software.
3. Under the main JZ Action menu
- "Open ScratchPad" will allow user to jot something down quickly and it will be stored in the clipboard so it can be pasted later.
- "Open Selection with Browser Script" (supports many mainstream browsers running side by side and allows to have a default browser designated).
- "Clipboard / URL history" will allow user to select older items from the clipboard.
- "Clipboard Tools (Copy/Paste/Select-All)" (allows you to select a few ways of copying, pasting & select-all then copying) includes ability to run the embedded Vito CopyPaste software, select with cursor & copy to the clipboard (it will ask how many seconds to allow cursor selection)
- "Open Favorites" (Change the Favorites opening method under JZ Settings > JZ Misc. Options.)
- "Communications Manager" toggles hardware devices and connectivity like bluetooth, wifi and cellular data connections.
- "Kill Processes" displays a full process list allowing the user to kill the executables.
- "Open JBed Application List" will let you choose which Java app to run without going into JBed first.
- "Soft-Reset the Device", "Rotate Screen", "Run FakeCursor" & "Help"
4. When doing "Open selection with browser script", "Open Favorites" or running a .url file from explorer, the second script which handles browser logic is called with the URL passed to it. The URL is copied to the clipboard and available in the Clipboard / URL History.
5. JZ Browser handler script is enabled during the installation at which point http/https links & .url file extensions to be opened with JZ Browser script. Either run a .url/.html file manually or use "Open Favorites" using JZ Action menu.
6. The browser handler script allows you to open a URL in Opera Mini (3, 4 & 5), Opera Mobile (8 & 9), NetFront 3.5, Skyfire, Iris, UCWEB, BOLT, jB5, Opera Mini for Windows Mobile, uZard & IE or copy the URL to the clipboard.
- On touchscreen PocketPC devices, JZ Browser script can use MortButtons for a beautiful/touch-friendly GUI when selecting which browser to open a link/URL with.
- You can change the default browser, as well as, how long JZ Browser script prompts to choose a browser before launching the "Default Browser".
- URL Exclusions is a feature which allows the user to default a static browser to a top-level domain. Even if the URL is long, the top-level is detected and compared against user exclusions, if an entry exists, then the URL will be openned with the designated/static browser.
- Browser script will look for Opera Mini in this order, any will work: 4.2 --> 4.1 --> 4.0 --> 3.1 --> 4.2 beta --> 4.1 beta. Version 5 is detected separately.
- Opera Mini control: multiple paste methods, adjust trim units, use different methods to pop the Opera Mini URL input screen and ability to enable/disable "Auto-Complete Address Input
- Ability to create the Opera Mini and any other JBed application shortcut on your Start Menu.

Limitations:
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Launching IE shortcuts leads to the JZ Browser script popping, workaround is to Patch IE Icon under JZ Settings > JZ Browser > Internet Explorer Options.
2. Clipboard history is limited to 1024 characters, but Windows Mobile limit is 16384 so be careful. Storing clips in the registry now and 1024 is the limit. If enough people say something, I could use a file rather than registry to store clipboard content, but then there's always the 16384 limit.
3. New version of HTC Task Manager 2.1.37385 and Manila 3D (TouchFlo 3D 1.2.35348) stops the MortScript popups from going to the background. Found this by upgrading to the Fuze leaked ROM which happens to update those two applications.

- JZ Browser: including a new .Net executable to trigger JZ Browser. The use is for programs like Barcorama that require just an EXE to which Barcorama passes a URL parameter. Passing parameters to MortScript is not like most other programs expect to do, hence this inclusion. The new EXE is called JZBrowserRun.exe and is located in the JZ folder.
- JZ Browser: Ability to register JZBrowser with my new .Net EXE instead of the long MortScript command. Under JZSettings > Browser > Activate JZBrowser with EXE
- JZ Browser: Opera Mini 5 beta support added. Also added Start Menu icon creation for Opera Mini 5. Tested on PocketPC and SmartPhones.

- Added AppToDate support allowing for easy JZ SmartMort updates over the air.
- WM 6.5 was fully tested on VGA and QVGA devices. Initially WM 6.5 did not work properly because it has more color depth causing Opera Mini and BOLT Browser color recognition not to work due to math rounding of the color.
- Opera Mini: better full-screen support for all colors schemes of Opera Mini.
- Opera Mini: removed ChangeIME setting from Opera Mini due to liability of messing with device keyboard drivers
- JBed: Smarter decision of whether OperaMini or Bolt is running in JBed. Kill JBed option removed from browser options.
- JBed: Added a tweak to allow users to change the JBed Java font size.
- JBed: Permanent patch to stop JBed from confirming security prompts.
- MortScript: version 4.3b15 for PocketPC and SmartPhones is included in the CAB. For compatibility reasons & other benefits MortScript will be forced to upgrade if the installed version is too old.
- Phone-Specific: button hacking for Samsung Jack (i637). Ability to re-map MediaNet and AT&T Navigator buttons.
- Phone-Specific: Long EndKey button remap for the HTC Fuze. Should work for other devices that use \Windows\EndKey.exe as well.
- JZ Action: Clipboard Monitor is now always running. Every 15 seconds it will detect if new content is in the clipboard and make it available in Clipboard History. No visible battery drainage was noticed.
- JZ Action: new option to Submit to Search Engine, which will submit the clipboard contents to a popular search engine and run JZ Browser with that URL.
- JZ Action: Communications Manager toggle switches that allow the user turn on and off the BlueTooth, BT Audio, Wireless and Cellular-Data (like NoData).
- New Start Menu shortcut for fast Wifi-Data toggle. Wifi turns on and all Cellular-Data connections turn off (and vice-versa). Shortcut easily maps to a hardware key.
- Direct Start Menu shortcuts for JZ SmartMort so that AE Buttons Plus (which can't parse LNK files like Windows can) is able to work correctly with JZ SmartMort.
- Touch-friendly navigation; users can modify menu sizes of JZAction & JZBrowser to suit different eye vision.
- Tweaks/Hacks: Tethering hack for AT&T and other carriers, Kaiser Tweak, better JBed troubleshooting, disabling startup animations & sounds and SafeInboxExtender added.
- Tweaks/Hacks: Manila (TouchFlo) 3D v1.x and v2.x Internet Tab hacking. Change default browser plus the banner URL/label. Change the search engine on Manila 2.5 version.
v1.5 *** 2008-12-27
- On touchscreen PocketPC devices, MortButtons (v2.4 & above) can be used as the GUI of JZ Browser script when a link/URL is clicked.
- Opera Mini 4.2 final & beta. Works with any color of skin available in Opera Mini 4.2. Uninstall the older 4.0 or 4.1 versions for JZ Browser to start using the new 4.2 version.
- Skyfire version 0.85.7927 and 0.85.8184 were released. Support for both, OLD and NEW versions of Skyfire.
- UCWeb Browser support added for versions 5.x & 6.x Windows Mobile CAB ONLY (not the Java based version offered at UCWeb). If both 5.x & 6.x versions are installed, version 6.x will be the one used.
- URL Exclusions is a feature which allows the user to default a static browser to a top-level domain. Even if the URL is long, the top-level is detected and compared against user exclusions, if an entry exists, then the URL will be opened with the designated/static browser.
- New uninstall logic which will disable JZ Browser when user uninstalls.
- Added Phone-Specific tweaks/hacks for AT&T HTC Fuze.
- Added Rotate Screen option to the Action script.
- Changed some defaults: Opera Mini will not kill JBed.exe, LeftSoftKey is used as the URL Open Method & Favorites now uses File Explorer instead of MortScript file browser.
v1.4.3 *** 2008-10-05
- Skyfire new version 0.80.6883 was released. Added support for both, OLD and NEW versions of Skyfire. Legacy options will show if OLD version of Skyfire is detected.
- After JZ SmartMort CAB finishes installing, JZ Browser functionality will automatically be activated and browsers will be detected. If MortScript is not present, it will also be installed, then MortScript CAB files will be removed, removing 400KB.
- Opera Mini enhancement consisting of short sleep commands between each backspace that deletes "www." in the Opera Mini address box. Affects some users with slower responding keyboards in JBed.
- Enhancement to FakeCursor code to allow using the powerful TaskMgr on SmartPhones even though it's only made to work on a PPC. FakeCursor function now takes the user back to the window title before FakeCursor logic was ran.
v1.4.2 *** 2008-09-21
- Added support for Torch Mobile's Iris Browser.
- Added support for Skyfire SmartPhone edition and modified Skyfire PPC pixel seeking logic when bar is shown and hidden.
- Added multiple Skyfire paste & open URL methods.
- Separated versions of Opera Mobile 8 & 9. Users can have both installed on the device and detected separately by JZ SmartMort.
- IME keyboard driver manipulation for Opera Mini to help pasting in some cases.
- Added option to Pin Last Used Browser as Default. JZ SmartMort will use the last selected browser and set that browser as default for the next time JZ Browser script is opened.
- Added FakeCursor to allow SmartPhone users ability to use more PPC geared applications.
- Added partial JZ SmartMort resets rather than the previously available full reset.
- Added BlackJack II button mapping for the updated WM 6.1 ROM. Both WM 6.0 & 6.1 OS versions are supported for button mapping on BJII.
v1.4.1 *** 2008-07-19
- Opera Mobile 9.51b (beta) is fully supported. Lots of redundant checks ot see if Opera Mobile is present on the device.
- JZ SmartMort CAB now attempts to install MortScript if MortScript is not already installed.
- The CAB file became even larger but with benefit because it will also remove CAB files which JZ SmartMort installs but does not need, saving about 250KB of space and making the JZ SmartMort installation about 500KB after the clean-up.
- CAB uninstalls removed JZ SmartMort settings, this no longer occur and settings will be left for the new JZ SmartMort version to use.
v1.4 *** 2008-07-07
- Created help files.
- Browser: Skyfire fully compatible now, new scan/detection with fail-over paths (if browsers references don't exist in the usual locations like the registry). If default browser timeout is set to zero, the JZ Browser prompt will be bypassed entirely.
- Opera Mini: full-screen, kill JBed option, multiple URL & pasting options.
- Lots of new options for button mapping. All known registry and link file button hacks now integrated to allow virtually any command to be called up. Also provides ability to create a CUSTOM link file from scratch.
- Changed menus to include menu-returns for easy navigation and better user friendliness. Added letters to Action menu as qwerty keyboard shortcuts.
- Phone-specific menu under JZ Settings which expands button mapping for BlackJack II (Samsung i617) CV/MediaNet buttons, as well as, AT&T Tilt (HTC Kaiser) PTT & Long-PTT buttons. More will be added.
- Creation of Start Menu shortcuts & opening of JBed applications w/o needing to open JBed first.
- 3 different methods under JZ Settings > JZ Misc. Options for opening Favorites. Save a Favorite from the JZ Browser script when you pop a link.
- Incorporated VitoCopyPaste with a timeout to return your directional pad action button back to normal.
- Various speed & optimization considerations incorporated.
- Function to deal with MortScript losing focus (e.g. when Home is pressed while Mort choice menu is running).
THE REST CAN BE SEEN IN THE README FILE AFTER INSTALLING THE CAB OR ON SOURCEFORGE (limited post size on XDA)
Initial v1.0 *** 2008-03-30
Can you explain or provide a link on the DEFBROWSER & MSPIE issue and why a .net executable is needed? I've seen some stuff on DEFBROWSER but not much on MSPIE.
Thanks!

Here's a small piece from my limitations section but I'll discuss below.
When clicking links inside of Contacts on SmartPhones, and E-Mails on PPCs, my .Net executable runs. If IE is running already, you will have to close it by force. Otherwise it keeps using IE to pop links from the two locations I mentioned above, Contacts & E-mails, respective of OS. For now, it completely bypasses EFBROWSER registry key, but I will research further.
Without the executable, if a link is clicked in those apps (depends on your OS and touchscreen or not), IE always opens it, no matter what, never passing it to my script.
EFBROWSER --- by default points to ":MSPIE", so I decided to change :MSPIE instead to use my exe, rather than EFBROWSER. It seemed more appropriate. More importantly, my WM5 smartphone only has :MSPIE, no EFBROWSER, so I tried to make it work on either platform.

This might be one of those platform / device specific issues since on my WM6 smartphone, having IE opened doesn't affect email links from invoking mortscript. My :MSPIE is set for 'iexplore.exe' and : DEFBROWSER was originally set for 'forTMOweb.exe', which is a t-mobile application which I suspect just makes sure IE opens a specific local web page.
I'm still unsure what your executable does exactly. Does it kill IE if it's already running? If that's the case, then the link did correctly invoke a non-IE application. This would then beg the question, how does IE then sense a link is being invoked and capture that url?
UNRELATED: I don't see an option to disable smilies when posting. How did you get : D to not look like ?

My EXE: accepts the command line argument and passes it to my Browser script.
My EXE will prevent Internet Explorer from EVER running a link (unless IE is already running, I'm working on that little issue). I helped somebody on BrightHand who said links from "e-mail" pop in IE all the time, even with my script installed. I checked my WM6 PPC emulator and it did exactly as he said. The WM5 SmartPhone emulator (like my 3125) pops IE also when openning a link from a Calendar item. You should try on your WM6 SmartPhone device, open a "web page" from Contacts, your SmartPhone will use the EFBROWSER" value and pass the argument to it - no matter what. And since command line arguments are not accepted in "EFBROWSER" nor ":MSPIE" but my EXE can accept that argument (usually a url file or http link) and forward that argument to my JZ Browser script.
BTW I do reset "RAI\EFBROWSER\1" with my install script to ":MSPIE" value - which is Microsoft's default on their ROMs. This guarantees that I somebody messed around with DEFBROWSER, I set them back to default and insure that my EXE runs.

Perhaps you missed reading about Menneisyys' initial problems with WM6. He originally tried specifying EFBROWSER as:
Code:
"\Program Files\MortScript\MortScript.exe" "\Program Files\MortScript\OMInvokeAndPasteScript.mscr" url="%1"
but it didn't seem to take the parameter. I guessed that perhaps the variable %1 is not being expanded when EFBROWSER is used and the OS is just passing a space and the url to EFBROWSER. So the OS tries to run something like this:
Code:
"\Program Files\MortScript\MortScript.exe" "\Program Files\MortScript\OMInvokeAndPasteScript.mscr" url="%1" http://google.com
The killer is the automatic space before the url. Mort script only accepts named variables (name=value) and not just the value by itself. So the url is not passed to mortscript since it wasn't named.
So after a few tries, this worked:
Code:
"\Program Files\MortScript\MortScript.exe" "\Program Files\MortScript\OMInvokeAndPasteScript.mscr" url="
Yes, that is an unclosed double-quote at the end. By luck, mortscript accepts url as a named variable and I guess takes the end of line as the closer for the quote.
So the OS runs this:
Code:
"\Program Files\MortScript\MortScript.exe" "\Program Files\MortScript\OMInvokeAndPasteScript.mscr" url=" http://google.com
As for the space before http://, opera mini will work with it there, but I had some code to remove it for cosmetic reasons. That is why you see this at the beginning:
Code:
if (substr(url,1,1) eq " ")
url = substr(url,2)
EndIf
I have always updated EFBROWSER but it looks like contacts and calendar use :MSPIE. When I updated that key as well, the script came up. Thanks for the tip. If IE is running, links from contacts and calendar will still use IE. This must be due to some internal optimization where contacts and calendar detect that IE is running and passes the URL to it directly.
I hope I did not misunderstand the problem and just rambled on for no reason. It's not the first time I've written pages in response, then upon review, realize I misread the original post, and then control-a, delete.

Wow, you did understand, every single bit. I'm probably dropping the EXE in light of this info. I am however going to stay away from DEFBROWSER (but will reset that value to MSPIE) and will use MSPIE since that means pocket IE --- and that's what we're replacing here and SmartPhones don't have DEFBROWSER key (at least not my 3125)
Thank you badbob001!!!

Use the Install script and do the Troubleshooting\JBed option. Let me know the results. This is not .Net by any means. The problem exists probably due to multiple JBed installations. Some JBed cab files don't change all necessary reg keys and leave it pointing to the settings of the previous install of JBed.
A way to resolve this for sure is to uninstall all JBeds then reinstall, after which you can install Opera Mini again.

Running the troubleshooter gives the same error. I see it is pointing to a registy location, which i have no problem manually changing, but where is the "selector.utf" located so i can point it in the right direction?

Definitely do point it to the correct UTF file, it will make the error go away.
Usual location is \Windows\Appdb\selector.utf check first though. You're looking for jbed.exe and in the same folder should be an APPDB folder.
I will add some more logic to the troubleshooter but let me know how it goes.

I was about to change the registry when i thought... what if i just copy the file to where it wants it to be. Copied the selector.utf to the location shown in the screenshot i had and now it is working perfect. May just be easier to include the file (or refrence its location) and just copy it there then. I never had anything installed on the storage card, so the link to this location suprises me; but this is windows, so i know to take everything with a grain of salt.
Thanks again

Even though that works, it's not the right thing to do. Pointing the registry to the correct place is the way to go, trust me. You put masking tape around the problem, fixing the registry is the permanent fix.
I had this working with Opera Mini 4.1 beta, but the final came out. So I uninstalled the beta. Checked links and they were back to opening in IE.
Went back to the Install script and selected 4.1 as my browser, and now links popup a MortScript dialog saying You do not have this application installed. Is there a fix coming for this soon?

Badbob001 is correct, just choose 4.0 for now.
I have plans to release version 1.3 possibly by this weekend. I wonder how people feel about me distributing in a .CAB or .EXE format? Or should I just leave the ZIP file which is quite a manual method?

10/20/2008: You may or may not notice that I haven't updated the script in a while. I had lost my windows mobile phone (t-mobile shadow) many months ago and I guess that killed my enthusiasm and any practical way to do testing (process detection doesn't work very well on the emulator). It also doesn't help that mortscript is frozen in time as well. Since I don't really see many Windows Mobile Standard devices coming out and I refuse to use a phone that requires a stylus, my next phone will likely be an android device (which interestingly enough, has an opera mini port).
There are probably a few bugs lurking around in the code for some fringe cases, but as always, you are welcomed to examine and update the script to your needs and it would be very appreciated if you would post a link to the update here. Also, I think JZ's SmartMort script is still keeping things interesting so you may want to check that out.

INTRODUCTION
You probably know of Menneisyys' original thread of making Opera Mini behave like the default browser by responding to links in emails and other locations. A component of making that work is a script to launch opera mini and enter the url. I've been enhancing my version of the script to make it easy to everyone to use.
While this script has some powerful options, its main purpose is to make it easy to launch opera mini directly and use opera mini to handle links.
At first run, an auto-detection process will try to automatically figure out how to launch opera mini and update your device so links are opened by Opera Mini. No more worrying about what jbed.exe parameters to use. Launching the script directly will open Opera Mini so you can just reference the script in shortcuts and launchers.
In previous versions of the script, you had to manually guess how much delay is needed before opera mini is ready for the script to enter the url. This script has method to detect if Opera Mini is running and if it's ready automatically.
If anything changed on your system that affects Opera Mini, just run Setup to re-detect your settings or tweak a setting. No text editing of the script required.
FEATURES
Make Opera Mini your default browser
When you run the script, the script will automatically find and launch Opera Mini. Optionally, update your registry so links in emails, contacts, appointments, documents, and other apps are handled by Opera Mini. Optionally, create a Start Menu shortcut with icon to launch Opera Mini.
Works with both Opera Mini 3.1, 4.0 and 4.1. Landscape and fullscreen mode is supported. Will work with 4.1 with Auto-complete Address Input enabled or not.
Quickswitch
Invoke the script with OM visible and you can have the script automatically option open the current page in IE and vice versa. This is handy when you encounter a page that would render better in the other browser. For example, in Opera Mini, you encounter a page with a youTube video so you quickswitch to IE to view the video.
Hotkey
You can assign a single hardware button to the HotKey shortcut and have quick access to most script features, including text select, copy, and paste commands.
Customizations / Special features
Enable prompting of what action to take when invoking a link or starting the script, such as asking which browser to use or sending the url to the clipboard. Timeout option available.
Add your own custom applications as choices to respond to links, so you can add browsers like netfront or opera.
Exclude list for sites that you want to automatically open in an alternative app like IE, such as your provider's private-network MMS server. Also good for automatically using IE to download files that Opera Mini may not handle correctly. Prompt and timeout option available.
Patch selector.utf file to eliminate permission prompting by midlets.
Create shortcuts to all your midlets in your Start Menu.

UPDATE1: 05/15/2008 11PM EST 0.10b sp1: found some bugs with quickswitch if Use Direct Address Input is enabled. Fixed and re-uploaded.
UPDATE2: 05/16/2008 12PM EST: 0.10b sp2: got quickswitch working on my WM6 PDA by introducing context-menu methods for copy, paste, and select-all. Of course, only touch-screen devices have a context-menu. Also, you can choose different copy, paste, and select methods for use in OM and IE, which is important since context-menus don't appear to work within my JVM. Also added prompt and prompt timeout options to quickswitch [details]
UPDATE3: 05/20/2008 1:30PM EST: 0.10b sp3: more quickfix tweaks, more commands when using quickswitch prompt so the prompt is more like a context menu allowing to perform an action with the current url or task-switch between browsers. Also added a sample bookmarks.mscr script that you can add to your list of commands and use with quickswitch prompt to have a unified bookmark list between IE and OM. [details]

TO DO / KNOWN BUGS:
On some platforms, Mortscript will crash if it tries to read the clipboard containing a large amount of text (around 16KB+ on my smartphone). This is easy to do if you are editing a large document and do a select-all + copy. My script will detect the crash and offer to clear the clipboard contents so mortscript will not crash again if you repeat the same action.
When viewing a script dialog window, like a prompt window or a setup window, it is possible for another application come into focus and you will lose access to the script window. A common way this can happen is when you receive a phone call and the call window appears. My script will automatically check if its dialog windows is in focus and if not, it will try to bring it to focus. This usually works but I've seen where the script only manages to get the title bar to appear but the rest of the screen still shows the previous application. User inputs will be focused on the script though you can't visually see the results. If this scenario occurs, just wait a few minutes and mortscript will eventually bring the dialog window back in focus. If you can't wait, you can kill mortscript via HotKey > StopScripts or manually run \sub\stop_scripts.

Be sure to download the version you want. I'm keeping some of the previous version up in case of bugs or undesired behavior in the latest version.
REQUIREMENTS
Jbed JVM
Jbed 2.1: (recommended)
http://www.modaco.com/index.php?act=attach&type=post&id=23899
Jbed 3.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2127317&postcount=65
Jbed 3.1 has a bug on smartphones where if you switch away from jbed and then switch back, the screen may not refresh. Workaround is to manually start the JVM, select Menu > Background Running, and finaly start Opera Mini. Script setting 'Kill JVM First' will need to be set to 'No'. This is also a good method to allow you to switch away from Opera Mini while it's still loading the page and come back when it's done. This will work for Jbed 2.1 as well.
If you have multiple versions of jbed installed, then the script may not correctly find the version you are using. You can run the Setup application and manually select your JVM executable and the selector.utf file that catalogs the midlets you have installed.
If you start the script to start Opera Mini and briefly see a flash of white, then either the script has chosen the wrong JVM/selector.utf pair or you recently installed a JVM that is of a different version from your last one. In the latter case, your currently installed midlets may not work with the newly installed JVM and you may need to uninstall all your midlets and reinstall them.

Opera Mini (3.1, 4.0, 4.1 beta, 4.1 Final)
http://www.operamini.com
To get the signed version of Opera Mini 4.1 Final so you're not prompted for permissions:
On the device, use IE mobile and go to http://mini.opera.com
The version shown is probably 4.1 US English, No signature, which is probably what you don't want so don't download that. If you're fine with the chosen language, skip to step 5. Otherwise, see the next step.
Click Download in another language.
Now a list of all language versions appear so choose one. I prefer to download Opera Mini 4.1 International for foreign language websites.

Mortscript (4.1 or higher)
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view
INSTALLATION
Download Mortscript (4.1 and up), Jbed (2.1 preferred), and Opera Mini (signed version preferred) and install them. Make sure you can run Jbed and then run Opera Mini. You should run Opera Mini at least once to get pass all the initial installation and license agreement screens.
Extract the script contents to anywhere on your device. The zip file contents are stored in a \StartOperaMini\ folder so you can just extract that folder like to '\Program Files\Mortscript\StartOperaMini\'.
In version 0.09b and 0.11b, the OperaIcon.dll is updated with better or additional shortcut icons. You may not be able to directly overrwrite the existing OperaIcon.dll file so rename the file to something else like OperaIcon.dll_, and then transfer the new OperaIcon.dll. A reboot may be needed before the old OperaIcon.dll can be deleted.
To support the new icons, the shortcuts have been modified, so you may need to update your shortcuts from the correct ones in the script folder or run Setup and toggle the Start Menu shortcut option to No and then back to Yes.
Also, you may be asked for permissions to load OperaIcon.dll when you access your Start Menu and the OS tries to load the icon graphics. Just allow it and the message shouldn't appear again.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Open file manager, navigate to where you copied StartOperaMini to, and run StartOperaMini.mscr. If this is the first time you're running the script from the current location, then the script will initialize by detecting your JVM and Opera Mini settings and ask you some initial setup questions.
One important question is if you want to register the script so the script is run when you click on a link in emails, documents, etc. This step is optional, but is helpful in making Opera Mini behave like the default browser. If you skip this step but have another version of the script installed elsewhere that is registered, then clicking an email link will open up the other version of the script.
When Opera Mini opens up, installation is complete. Note that version 0.11b does not support the settings from previous versions so you may need to revise the initial settings.
If you want to run the script from an application launcher, either link to the 'Start Opera Mini' shortcut or link directly to the StartOperaMini.mscr script.
If you want to use the HotKey feature to easily access other script commands like copy/paste, you should map a hardware key to the shortcut 'Start Opera Mini Hotkey' and then customize the HotKey function in Setup. View the help file if you need more information.
If you need to change any settings, just run the shortcut 'Start Opera Mini Setup'. View the help file if you need more information.
LIMITATIONS
When opening links to local files or to sites on private carrier networks (portals, MMS server), Opera Mini will fail to get to that address. Run setup and add the host to the exclude list of those links will open in IE instead.
If Internet Explorer is opened, links in contacts and appointments may automatically still use Internet Explorer. Workaround is to kill Internet Explorer first, which is an option in the Setup program.
Some paste and control methods may not work on certain devices, so try different settings in Setup.
UNINSTALLATION
Run the Setup Program and then select the Uninstall option.
Delete script files from the script folder. You may not be able to directly delete the OperaIcon.dll file since the system may still be using it to display the shortcut icon. Rename the file to something else like OperaIcon.dll_, reboot, and then it should be deletable.
THANKS
Much thanks to Menneisyys for giving birth to this breakthrough idea and for JZ SmartMort for bringing new innovations to the table (check out his JZ SmartMort tool). Much ideas and help is from the community so it's really due to everyone's efforts.
Feel free to enhance the script to your own needs and use it in your own projects.

Hi badbob.
I kind of like the script that you made way back when (Nov.?) that opens up a popup that lets you choose between PIE and OM and the clipboard. It also works for 4.1. It would be neat if the installation script allowed that as an option, and also detected Opera Mobile (and skyfire in the future) and would allow that as an option. Having said that dont make these additions for me as I am happy running the old script. Just thought id give you a suggestion.
Great script..does what it's supposed to and does it well....do you have any issues with it being included with a rom?
Thanks for the script; nice little workaround using the color of the upperleftmost pixel. One thing I've noticed is that I have direct address input turned off in my Opera Mini 4.1. However, I must check "Yes" when asked if it's turned on. Only then will it work properly. Don't know if I'm just reading wrongly, but other than that, it's working perfectly.
By the way I'm using the JBed_20071119.3.1_3dMod_HeapSizeFix_v2_wm6(lovetz1) cab.
It found my jbed.exe, even though it's in a "Jbed3dmod" folder on my storage card.
Overall, it's working great now that I marked off "Yes". Thanks!

No problems. Go ahead.
Replaced
Code:
jbed_exe_ini = Part(RegRead("HKCR","jarfile\Shell\Open\Command",""),"""",2,1)
with
Code:
jbed_exe_ini = replace(RegRead("HKCR","jarfile\Shell\Open\Command",""),"""","")
jbed_exe_ini = SubStr(jbed_exe_ini, 1, find(jbed_exe_ini, "jbed.exe")+7)
So finding the location of jbed.exe from the registry doesn't depend on the quotes being around the command.

When you have direct address input (DAI) turned off in both OM and the script, at what point does the script fail?
The following two block of instructions is what the script does when it thinks DAI is turned off.
Code:
LeftSoftKey [open menu]
LeftSoftKey [select Enter Address]
Code:
[select all text]
[paste url over selection]
LeftSoftKey [click OK]
By just being lucky, leaving the script with direct address input turned on will perfectly work even if OM has it turned off. It's just that the extra keys sent don't cause any problems. In your working scenario, having the script think DAI is on will essentially put an extra 'enter' after the first instruction block and then another 'enter' after the second block. Which 'enter' is the one helping you?

It's relatively easy to slap on the menu option to my script, which tmknight did here.
I'm sure many "power" users will want total control and it's pretty easy to make a script that defers the decisions to the user. But I wanted to try a script that is a bit more friendly and tries to handle decisions on its own... a script that I won't be afraid to put on my wife's phone. Easy is hard.

Sorry, forgot to clarify. I believe the first enter is helping me, because: if I choose the "No, DAI is Off" option, the script will open up Opera Mini, and stay at the main screen for a few seconds. Still on the OM main screen, the script will say something like "The input box was not found after _ seconds", then ask if I want to go through setup again. If I choose the "Yes, DAI is On" option, everything works normally. Opera Mini opens, the input field is opened, the link is pasted into the input field, the page loads, etc.
Thanks for sharing but on my xda is a german software running called "DK - OperaMini4 Addon" with mortscript 4.1 that does the same as yours. and its out since months. so where are the big news? the only better thing seems to be the autodetecting when mortscript starts running, but you write that this don` t work in mini Landscape mode. but everyone i know uses this mode.
04/11/2008 0.05b
- (Opera's built-in) Landscape support:
I now test pixels in the upper left (0,0)and upper right (screenwidth()-1,0) to determine when Opera is running and what orientation it is. I'm not too sure how consistent the upper right pixels are on different devices, but it works fine on my wm6 standard qvga phone. Knowing the orientation is important since in landscape, you have to now press left or right instead of up and down to open the address bar drop down.
- Slightly improved address input:
The script originally sent [leftsoftkey] to open the opera menu and another [leftsoftkey] to select the 'enter address' option. Since I restart Opera Mini if an url needs to be pasted, the initial cursor is already on the address input box, so I just need to send one [enter].
At least on my device, if Direct Address Input (DAI) is on, a rare case occurs where I need to send an extra [enter] to have Opera submit the url. It doesn't appear to cause any ill effects if two [enter]s are sent every time when using DAI.
- Improved tolerance of mismatch DAI setting:
Some people may notice that if you have DAI (Direct Address Input) disabled in Opera but enabled in the script, the extra keys sent by the script don't cause any problems except for being a micro-fraction slower.
For the opposite scenario where if you have DAI enabled in Opera but disabled in the script, the previous result was that the script will complain that it didn't find the Address Input window. Now when it doesn't find the Address Input window, it will assume DAI is really turned on and send the extra DAI keys. If that doesn't work, then you it will complain. But if does, it'll continue with no problems. The *next* time you run the Opera Mini, the script will say that it thinks you told it the wrong DAI setting and offers to run the setup wizard for you to enter the correct settings.
- Start Menu Shortcut with icon
The setup wizard will add a 'Start Opera Mini' shortcut to your Start Menu and it will have the Opera icon:
Kevxross here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=7346 embedded the opera icon in a dll so it can be referenced by shortcuts. I've included the .dll in the .zip, so just copy it to the same location as the script.
- Ini file renamed
The only manual step that users may need to do is delete the .ini file if they want to easily get the setup wizard to run again. But I noticed that the built-in file manager will hide the extension of files and so users can't really tell the ini file from the script. I've renamed the ini file to <scriptname>_ini.txt. If you're upgrading, the script will automatically rename the existing .ini to _ini.txt.

Heh I understand completely. I was able to successfully modify your previous script, so its good by me
here`s the link to the software that does work like yours[/B]. This is out for 2 or 3 months but your welcome to develope the same twice::

Is there a version of this script for smartphone? It works great for PPC, but copy and paste doesn't exist on WM 6.0 standard and fails on my BlackJack II.

We are so happy you found a similar script months ago. You've posted about it twice now within 6 posts of each other. Please stop harassing the author of this one as several of us are quite happy with his script. Does the old script still use wait states? The new one doesn't. Does the old one automatically find your jbed even if it's on a storage card and find the slot opera is installed in no matter which one you used? The new one does. Finally his current version works with landscape. The entire page you referenced is in a foreign language and I for one appreciate support from an author who can communicate without the need to use babelfish.
Extra carriage return?
Hi badbob and all.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this script. I'm lovin this.
I'm running Opera Mini 4.1 (v. 4.1.10781, 20080401 to be exact) on a Sprint Mogul / HTC Titan. After installation and first-time setup the script correctly launched OM and pasted in the link. However the page did not load. I had to manually hit the enter key to make it start the loading process.
After poking around in the script for a while I managed to make it load automatically. Around line 320 in the StartOM subroutine I added a wait between the two sendcr commands.
Code:
if ((opera_version_ini eq "4.1" AND direct_address_input eq True) OR (tried_again = True))
sendcr
[B]sleep(wait_time_between_keys)[/B]
sendcr
endif
I don't know whether I fixed a script bug or my phone just has special needs.
Great work i was thinking of the same thing today.
Thanks alot.

I'm not quite sure how to classify this issue. My code originally only had one sendcr in that section. Then on the rare occasion, I'll see the pasted url in the address field waiting for me to hit enter to submit it. I do notice that everytime I see this happen, the last character in the pasted url is a square box, which means a character the device can't display. I figured, what the hey, lets add another sendcr in there and be done with this problem.
But I guess that didn't really solve the problem. I'm now guessing that I'm not allowing enough time for the device to receive the entire text from the paste before moving on to the next command. So maybe the device is still processing the long url text being pasted and ignores the later key commands. And maybe it also needs a little more time to switch from the text input screen back to opera mini.
I've added more delay after the paste and after leaving the text input window. See version 0.06b for this tweak and see if it helps. I've also taken out the second sendcr. If it works reliably, then the delays fixed it.
Code:
SendCtrlKey("V")
[b]Sleep(500)[/B]
SendLeftSoft
if ((opera_version_ini eq "4.1" AND direct_address_input eq True) OR (tried_again = True))
[b]Sleep(500)[/b]

Perfect for UC, or if you're just tired of having to install Jbed first, then go through the hassle of compiling Opera Mini, Gmail, etc. Everything is done for you!
If you don't use Gmail and just want Jbed and Opera Mini, just install GC Opera Mini 1.2.6!
Warning:
You must completely uninstall all previous versions before installing.
Enjoy!
This is great, thanks a lot mang! Can't wait to try it when I get home.

Opera Mini 4.1 Cab Installer for Windows Mobile
I created this cab to automate the install of Jbed and the latest build of Opera Mini 4.1
This CAB will do the following:
- Install Esmertec Jbed 20071119.3.1
- Install Opera Mini 4.1 - Build 4.1.11355 20080522
- Sign Opera Mini as trusted (removes annoying prompt windows)
- Install shortcut for Opera Mini 4.1 in Start->Programs with icon.
(Includes extra Opera Mini 4.1 icon in the dll for Today launchers.)
- Install shortcut for Esmertec Jbed in Start->Programs.
Perfect for UC, or if you're just tired of having to install Jbed first, then go through the hassle of compiling Opera Mini etc. Everything is done for you in the cab.
Warning:
You may have to reinstall your other java applications if you are using Jbed as your midlet manager already.
Also, it's a wise idea to make a backup of your Appdb folder in \Windows.
Enjoy!

Dude, keep these coming. I love the idea of having a cab (to turn into OEM) that has multiple things fixed.
If you were to do this for programs with known issues that need to be set to work on the mogul you would move one step closer to a totally hands free flash; meaning on a new phone you flash boot, radio, and kitchen with all prefs baked in. Thanks again.
New java
Can you make another one with the newer Jbed in there?
It's Jbed Build ID: 20080222.3.1
If you need it let me know.
I don't have it. I've been using this build for a while and it's stable and does what I need. If you supply me with the new build cab, I can port it.
Here's the requested CAB for the newer Jbed version. I'd also appreciate the port, as I've been wondering how to get Opera Mini 4.1 installed automatically via UC Config.
Updated first post.
Thank you GC....
awesome dude. just what i was looking for. thanks a lot
anyone know if there's a way to back up opera mini bookmarks (not the online way) but the ones actually on your phone when you format?
Thanks so much. Will save me a lot of time in the future.
Any idea if this is 6800 only or if it should work on other windows mobile pro phones or even windows mobile regular like q9c. I have a 6800 but I help friends with other phones.
It SHOULD work on all Windows Mobile phones that uses \Windows\Appdb as the default application database directory. It's only been tested on the Titan.
I tried it on a Treo 700W - it didnt work..... Gave me a Not signed error for the java....

Not sure what to tell you. It was created to be installed on any build of WM. The only thing I can think of is that it was compiled on the Titan, so you may need to recompile it. It works on both my Titan and Apache as those are the only two devices I have to test.
awesome GC
GC, what a great idea. I love what you've done. Thanks!
Using a program like PocketPlus on the main page, I've put the Opera icon on there and hit it once..and bam it's up.
I'm interested in doing a similar thing with the Gmail Java app. I'd be interested to know how to go about building this. Would it be possible to post an explanation for those that might have similar requests? Specifically, how to change the security questions to be non-existant, to provide a Opera icon..etc.

Does GMail give you access to the .jar and .jad files like Opera Mini does?
I found the .jar file from google. The only problem is I don't know if there been an update since it was posted.
http://gmail.com/app/v1.5.0/L1/gmail-g.jar
out of curiosity, how do we handle opera mini updates when they come through?

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 Install (using SenseUtil) Instructions:
- Standard Cab for SenseUtil and a Cab for the Tab files (placed together in a single zip file).
Remember: Backup your device and data before attempting this mod. Post if you have any problems.
Dual Cab Install using Separate Cabs [meltwater_FbTabV1.6(SeperateCabs)-2.zip]
INSTALL:
a) Install both Cabs, in no particular order.
b) Run SenseUtil from Start Menu\SenseUtil\AddTab\SenseUtil FbTab Add to Add the FbTab to Sense.
Dual Cab Un-Install using Separate Cabs [meltwater_FbTabV1.6(SeperateCabs)-2.zip]
UNINSTALL:
a) Run SenseUtil from Start Menu\SenseUtil\RemoveTab\SenseUtil FbTab Remove to Remove the FbTab from Sense.
b) You can now uninstall the FbTab cab, and if desired, the SenseUtil cab too.
Note: As the references in sense have been removed, the files will have no effect on sense anymore.
c) The remaining registry entries can also be manually removed from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila all of which will start with "Facebook.".
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).

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).
v1.6 Manual Upgrade v1.5 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 HAVE THE TAB ALREADY RUNNING WITHOUT PROBLEMS.
With the previous facebook tab working and running properly, updating to the new version can be achieved by following these instructions:
Disable sense, via the Settings\Home\Today items.
Replace the following files:
Lang Files(\windows\):
1FED11F0_manila
3abb2ec0_manila
781C9850_manila
Script Files(\windows\):
090EF4F3_manila
33A980DD_manila
FacebookUtil Application (\Program Files\FacebookUtil\):
FacebookUtil.exe
.
Update reg entry/setting for Desktop Online Link:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

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.]

Second Post from me
Many Thanks man I will try tonight and share my results.
Congratulations
Works on the NRG MM MAR 20 23548(9) - followed instructions to the letter (although you haven't explained when to transfer over the modified manila tab control file!)

To Do - if Possible
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!).
Directly update own status
Allow view of full status text, either bigger space, expand on selection or ticker tape
Update settings page to include things set in registry (Auto Update time etc)
Links to albums
Replacement of mortscript with an exe file (with thanks to johncmolyneux)

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 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?

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.
Intro
Co0kie's Home Tab offers us a vast array of changes for our home tabs. A lot of the options are only available via registry edits, unless you use CHTEditor.
With this application you can modify all the settings for the mod without having to open a registry editor, as well as being able to export & import all your settings and quicklinks, in case you need to hard reset or flash a new ROM. Multiple settings files can be automatically linked in the start menu, so you can switch layouts without opening the editor. You can also add these shortcuts as quicklinks to switch layouts from the home tab itself.
This application DOES NOT make any changes to Sense. You MUST have Co0kie's Home Tab installed!!!
You can get Co0kie's Home Tab here.
A BIG thanks goes to eboelzner for the Sense Interface SDK UI controls. They've made a vast improvement to the application and he's been a great help getting the latest version looking the part.
You can find the Sense Interface SDK here.
Please read post #2 before...

About CHTEditor v2.0.0.0
CHTEditor v2.0.0.0 final will only work with CHT 2.0.0 final.
There is no backward compatiblity with versions 1.x.x, so you can't import old CHTE settings files. But future versions will be compatile going forward, so you will be able to import you 2.0.0 settings into any 2.x.x version.

Requirements and Compatibility
This application requires .Net 3.5 to be installed on your device. You can download it here.
Some people seem to be having trouble installing .Net 3.5. If you are one of them, read this post and this post for 2 different suggestions.
The application has been tested thoroughly and found to be stable for WM6.5. There is an issue when automatically restarting manila in WM6.1, but you get a friendly error message telling you about it. If you get this message then you will need to restart manila manually.
MAKE SURE that you have the same version of the mod and the editor installed - you'll be told when starting the editor if you don't.
(It only has to be the first 3 numbers eg. v1.7.1.0 will work with v1.7.1.1)

Important notes
If in the future you upgrade Co0kie's Home Tab to a newer version, please read post #2 below.
This application can be installed to either the device or your storage card.
Finally, a lot of time goes into this application and this thread, so I'm sorry but I won't answer any questions that are answered in these first few posts. Any major issues will either be resolved as a new release, or will be mentioned at the top of the thread somewhere.

Section 2: Important information
Upgrade information
Please read carefully BEFORE upgrading Co0kie's Home Tab
Before upgrading Co0kie's Home Tab, use the Export option in the CHTEditor menu to create an export file for your Co0kie's Home Tab settings and all your quicklinks. Then, upgrade Co0kie's Home Tab and the editor (if needed), then run the Import option in the CHTEditor menu to restore your settings. This saves you having to setup Co0kie's Home Tab again, and re-creates all your quicklinks for you. (Note - this method is only available in v1.6.0+)
Files exported from version v1.x can't be imported to v2.x.
If you are upgrading Co0kie's Home Tab, you may well need to upgrade the editor as well. If so, follow the instructions above. To install a new version of CHTEditor, just run the CAB file and allow it to uninstall any previous version. Just continue the installation as normal after that.
Once you have upgraded Co0kie's Home Tab (and the Editor, if needed), run the editor and use the import option in the menu to import all your previous home tab and associated settings (quicklinks, layout, options etc.).

Command-line import & export
Please read for command-line help
You can now import and export settings files using command-line instructions, rather than having to run the application. Imports were previously introduced with v1.7.1.1, but you can now also export as well. This is the format of the instructions...
CHTEditor.exe /IMPORT "fullpath\filename.cht"
The /IMPORT is optional, as this method already existed in v1.7.1.1, without it. I've just added it for consitency.
CHTEditor.exe /EXPORT "fullpath\filename(.cht)" (/CREATESHORTCUT)
The .cht on the filename is optional, as it is automatically added if you don't do it yourself. If the /CREATESHORTCUT instruction is used, a shortcut is created for the exported settings, in a folder in your start menu (handy for adding quicklinks to exports).

Known issues
Please read BEFORE posting issues
Any bugs reported will be added to this list for fixing in later releases.
Export settings remembers your last folder. If this folder does not exist next time you try to export, an error will be raised.
Temp.Fix: Clear the value in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHTE.LastDialogPath to resolve this issue.
Importing does not always import the lockscreen layout.
Temp.Fix: Modify the lockscreen slightly, so that it creates the registry entries, and then import your settings again.
The dialog windows will still show button text such as "Yes", "No", "OK" or "Cancel", despite changing the language of the application. This text is part of the Sense SDK Interface that is used to make the application look (and work) the way it does. The developer of the interface, eboelzner, is currently adding localisation to these controls, so expect this to be resolved in a future release.

ROM chef information
Info for chefs wanting to cook the editor into a ROM
From v1.7 onwards, Co0kie's Home Tab now includes a menu link to the editor application. This requires a registry value that is set when installing the editor. Obviously, if you're cooking the application into a ROM then the installer is not being run, so this value is not being set.
The following value should point to the editor application to make this link work:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila:CHTE.Path
for example...
CHTE.Path = \Program Files\CHTEditor\CHTEditor.exe

CHTEditor Translations
Please read if you are interested in changing the language of CHTEditor or wish to translate it
Download the attached language_default.txt file and translate it - there are more detailed instructions inside.
Then rename the file to indicate which language it is: for example, language_german.txt or language_french.txt. (The part after the _ will be shown in the CHTEditor language selection menu.)
Just place the file in the CHTE install folder and it will show up in the language menu.
Upload the file here after you've translated it I'll add it to the language pack which will be attached in the first post.
Whenever there are updates to the application, the language files will need to be updated to include the new values. Anyone who does this, please post them, as described in above and they can be manually downloaded by people, as well as being uploaded to the application server by me.
<< Reserved for future use >> 3
<< Reserved for future use >> 4
Thanx man...
Also here the congrats from me for this release. It is also a kind of magic. HTC Editor makes all the things possible. Use, test and learn how many things are possible with this release. Wow, in simple words.
BIGTHX for hard work
Super thanks, congratulations to everyone involved in the making of CHT!!
please don't oversee that import and export had to be changed, so that the savings from 1.8.5 can't be applied.
And also that this app only triggers the registry keys of CHT, so please report - like used - new feature requests (if you have one now after the Releases) or not-Editor-related bugs in CHT thread and not here.
Have Fun

Sorry tried coping message without luck. this is the best I can do at the moment
I've just added the calculator as the program to open, and it added successfully.
Tried renaming just in case "-" was the issue. "Mail" also fails.

Thank you in advance

It's connected to the Sense world clock (the list of locations you have when you tap the clock).
The 0 setting is default time.
Setting 1 connects the analog clock to the first location below "My location" in the world clock.
Setting 2 connects it to the second location, etc.
I hope I explained that clearly.

Hi Nullstring. I am pleased to see this Rom here. This kitchen is one of the fastest I've ever seen for the TP. I'll try the Rom as soon as it is available for download.

Appreciated so much! Thanks again!
I hope to test it very soon, too. Lately, the TP/Raphael ROMs aren't very updated or nobody seems to put something new, but you give it a shot.
One small request: I saw that you put Nitrogen 1.1 player in the ROM. Would you mind updating it to 1.2 (alpha5, I'm using it for more than 6 months and haven't got any bugs) @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=222350&d=1251676524 ? It has hardkey shortcuts and maybe it's useful for somebody. I don't force you to change it, maybe you'll put it in the next release or when you think it is necessary.
Good luck developing your ROM!

Hi Nullstring,
Great ROM! Quick and stable.
I have a quick question. In Sense, how can I change the wallpaper to look like the one in your images? If I change the background, it only changes in the home screen.
Also, how do I access the menu that appears in your third screenshot?
Thanks!

Install C0okies Home Tab first then install CHTEditor so you can import my Default CHT Layout.
Let me know!
I did not include Cookie's Home Tab and CHTEditor because I want you guys to have a freedom of choice.
But always keep in mind, after installing Cookie's Home Tab, you will be noticing a slight change of Sense speed.
Hi Nullstring,
Good Work. I used the TASK 29 to flash and did some testing.
I have a little problem with the dialer: When I call several people, the dialer calls the right person but always shows the first one I dialed. Any Idea?
For now I use the manila dialer patch, disabled the HTC dialer and installed Ryon skin. This workes for me.

Tip for removing quicks link on the home screen: If remove quick link option doesn't work, don't use this menu option.
Just tap and hold the link and move it away from his place or edit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\X.
thanks nullspring...i'm gonna test it on my touch pro...
Hi Nullstring,
I found a touchinput issue, do you also have this?
Typing in MS Word works, but editing a location in an appointment (windows calendar) doesn't work like it should. I miss the spacebar input.
I When I change to the small keyboard to enter the space and switch back, the phone doesn't display any keyboard at all and complains about full memory. The only option is resetting the phone. Do you have any advise?
I copied and regged IME_Engine_Western_2_1_19171325_00 and IME_EzInput_Western_2_1_19171325_00 from another kitchen and It works for me. But I loose the small keyboard option.

Tried it. Works like a charm! It seem fast! It took me a while until I found out how use Task29. Anyway, is Task29 necessary before installing this ROM?
I have 2 downsides for this ROM: you don't have direct access to a Task Manager (some kind of button on the lower bar) and I can't figure out how to change the X Button properties (I want to close the programs when I tap or hardpress it).
LE: And how could I disable the standby big clock to flip those numbers?
