User Control & Custom Roms
 

How many people are actually using the User Control in their custom roms? I've been using the SDConfig.txt to install cabs but I'd like to find the provisioning code to do the following:

- Change Settings (sound notifications, TouchFLO, Task Manager, etc.)
- Load Windows Live "Hotmail" Accounts
- Add my "City" to Weather
- Add Program Shortcuts to the Programs tab
- Add username & passwords to Account Manager
- Add people to the "People" tab

I've read the User Control threads over at XDA but sifting through 100+ pages for code is rather exhausting and after a few days of research I've come up short. Has anyone found any of code to put into the provisioning.xml file to automatically load settings?

Ok you're in luck. Yesterday phattooth posted here some easy instructions on using OEMizer to create XML file for your email account setup.

Here's some XML language for the these 2 options you mentioned.

<wap-provisioningdoc>

<characteristic type="Registry">

<!-- Weather Changes for US Salt Lake City -->

<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila">
<parm name="Weather.CityList" value="NAM|US|UT|SALT LAKE CITY" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Weather.Fahrenheit" value="1" datatype="integer"/>
<parm name="Weather_Focus" value="United States" datatype="string"/>
</characteristic>

<!-- Program Launcher -->

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0">
<parm name="DispName" value="Google Maps" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Path" value="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Google Maps.lnk" datatype="string"/>
</characteristic>

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\1">
<parm name="DispName" value="Live Search" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Path" value="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Live Search.lnk" datatype="string"/>
</characteristic>

<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\2">
<parm name="DispName" value="Sprint Navigation" datatype="string"/>
<parm name="Path" value="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Sprint Navigation.lnk" datatype="string"/>
</characteristic>

etc...

I would love this too. I'm praying for a quick Mozilla Fennec release with add-in support for Foxmarks.

Wow,

Thank you guys! I'm not sure the email set up will work for Windows Live. Has anyone else tried it?

Re: User Control & Custom Roms
 

I'm coming up short with both of these. The weather one doesn't seem to want to add my city when I change the value "NAM . . . " and the program launcher doesn't add them to the programs tab.

Thoughts?

Got it working, AWESOME.

Re: User Control & Custom Roms
 

Here is what I've done so far to get things to work:

I've been sucessful in getting the Account Manager to hold my username & passwords, enlarged the start menu, & added my icons to the programs tab. I haven't got weather to automatically update itself nor have I figured out windows live.
