Something went wrong with my manila file edit
All the tweaks I've applied so far to my phone have been changes to the registry. I have had no problems at all with that.
Today I decided to venture into the world of customizing my TouchFlo a bit. I wanted to start by deleting the sprint music store link - I thought that was nice and simple. I copied 26948339_manila to my PC, I edited it very carefully, I copied it back to the windows directory on my phone. OK, so I forgot to turn off TF3D :( So when I soft-reset, I got in the endless Tap here to launch TF3D loop. But I didn't panic - I went to settings, turned off TF3D, re-copied the changed file and soft-reset. I turn on TF3D - it still loops. I turn off TF3D, copy the original manila file back to windows and soft reset. I turn on TF3D and now all is well, but of course, now I am back at square one with the music tab. I had copied the file to my PC with Active Sync explorer, and I edited the file with TextPad, not notepad, but the file is in unicode. When I copied the file back to the phone, I did get some kind of message about how file formats changed when copied, but I copied anyway. What am I doing wrong here? I'm a little afraid to try again, although I guess I will since I did manage to recover, although it did test my heart health in the process :). |

Why not use something like diamond config for simple things like reordering/disabling tabs?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749 I think you have to remove the tweaks.xml file from /program files/diamond config before it will launch on the touch pro. |

Re: Something went wrong with my manila file edit
I've been a little skittish about using any of the configuration tools. I like to know what's being changed - and it seems I read a lot of posts about one tweak messing up another tweak. I've been kind of compulsive of keeping a log of everything I've changed on the phone so far. However, I'm about to throw caution to the wind (and now I am revealing my age!) - and just go ahead and install one of the config tools.
Which should I try - I've read on diamond config, diamond tweak, advanced config, any others? |

He's wanting to remove the music store portion of the music tab not the tab... that's the file he's editing.
@ OP.. try deleting the 2694...disabledtabs_manila file from your phone before reloaded tf3d after transfering your edited file. That worked for me. |

Ah thanks, you're right I misread his post!
The config apps will let you re-arrange tabs and disable entire tabs. They generally don't edit stuff on a tab. |
Re: Something went wrong with my manila file edit
OK, I think I figured it out. Or at least figured out a way that seems to work. I renamed the file I edited on my PC to have a .txt extension. Then when I copied the file over to the phone I didn't get any kind of 'file conversion' message. I renamed the file on the phone and copied it to the windows directory - and this time everything worked fine. Same file - just added the extension before I copied from PC to phone. weird, huh? But now I think I'll try some more manila changes!

There you go.. now that you mentioned it I think I did the same.. without realizing I used that method, I did take off the "txt" AFTER I put it on the phone.
