Change homepage: I figure it out myself. LOL

goto HKLM>software>HTC>Manilla2D>InternetWidget>Customi zed>
Change the string on BannerURL and BannerURL Text to ur homepage
Note: dont forget to put http:// on BannerURL
String on BAnnerURL Text is what will appear under the globe on ur internet tab

Launch skyfire instead of opera on the internet tab: I figure this myself
Ok, first DL the file I attached below.VJbrisk.exe
Put it on windows and rename it to operaL.exe (backup ur operaL.exe)
Now, Make a shortcut of skyfire. U can use resco for this. (remember, making a shortcut is different from copying the file)
after U made the skyfire shortcut, rename it to VJTarget.lnk and put it on windows folder.
Go to M2D internet tab and launch the browser. U'll be surprised it's skyfire.

Add more programs/links to internet page: Thanks to Videonut for this tip.
Want to add a program like Internet Explorer under the Youtube Icon on the Internet Page?

Goto settings\today and unselect Touchflo, then with your fav regeditor...

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila2d\InternetWidget\Customiz ed
The Key 0 holds the info for the Youtube Program, change it if you want or...
1. Change CustomizedCount to 2. (Keep incrementing for each item you place on the page.)
2. Add a new key "1" (2,3, etc for each item you add)
3. In Key 1,
.... add string "CustomizedIcon" value=\windows\Earth.bmp ( I used HH_INTERNET_EARTH.bmp and resized it to 22*23 pixels and named it Earth.bmp)
.... add string "CustomizedTitle" value= "Internet Explorer"
.... add string "CustomizedURL" value= \Windows\iexplore.exe
.... add DWORD "NoDescription" value= 1 (dec)

Exit regeditor and then go to settings and reselect Touchflo

you can point to a URL instead of a program.
Can you change this line
.... add string "CustomizedURL" value= \Windows\iexplore.exe
to
.... add string "CustomizedURL" value= \Windows\iexplore.exe (can point to URL eg. http://ppcgeeks.com)

The String "CustomizedDescription" with text for the value doesn't seem to work. I imagined it would show a popup of sorts when the icon was held but nothing.
Enjoy...

Audiomanager continuous play with screen display off. Thanks to primenall for this trick

First open Reg editor and go to HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioManager\Config

Now create a new "DWord value" name it DisableSuspend and give it a value of 1

(You can also change the value of "enter suspend" to 0 but with my new key it should change it on reboot anyways)

This was done on a Sprint Touch
