PPCGeeks - Custom VisualKitchen EXT Request Thread

**NOTE: This is from my HD2 Rom, it can be easily modified for any version of Sense/Manila...

Here is a little something I've been working on. I added Facebook and fixed the issues with the messaging tab. Remove the one directory, and copy in the attached directory in the locations. It is important that this is added AFTER all your other manila files, that's why I have done it this way... Enjoy! This should work on other roms as well!

Turning Tabs On/Off:
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Here is how you turn tabs on/off in a rom... In the attached file, look for the "Tab_Control" EXT. In the app.reg file will need to find your tab. Once you get your tabs ordered above export a registry key from:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Configurati on]

Find your tab and modify the "Enabled" key. I'll show the before and after for turning off the Facebook tab
