help! remove "Sprint Music Store" banner

[KaliS]

hey guys i got this to work on my TP and i think the problem you all are having is because of the .cab file being for a Diamond, not a TP.

i went into the file using total commander and made the edits and it worked perfectly. just remember to do a soft reset so the changes take effect.

here are the steps i used for this:

1) open total commander (or other file editing program) and go to the windows folder

2) scroll down and locate the file "26948339_manila", highlight it and select "edit" from the file menu

3) scroll down within the file until you locate the line that says:
<Page Order="5" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_MUSICTITLE]]" ExternalScriptPath="HTC\Scripts\sprintmusic.luac">

(note that on the XDA site, the code says "Page Order "4"....")

4) delete this part of the code only: ExternalScriptPath="HTC\Scripts\sprintmusic.luac"
(make sure that this is the only thing you delete)

5) select "save" under the file menu, exit the program and soft reset...that should do it.

hope this helps....im not a programmer but i follow directions well and not too afraid to get my hand durty, lol.

you first must have total commander: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
EDIT the "26948339_manila" file under windows and look for :


<Page Order="4" Name="music.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[IDS_MUSICTITLE]]" ExternalScriptPath="HTC\Scripts\sprintmusic.luac">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\music.mode9" Component="GizmoRoot" SmartComponent="true" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_Off" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_On" />
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\icons.mode9" Component="Music_Preview" />
</Page>


Then REMOVE:
ExternalScriptPath="HTC\Scripts\sprintmusic.luac"




soft reset your phone and that sprint music store banner should be gone!

Just a warning, when you edit, use note pad. I used the Text pad and for whatever reason it caused the TF3D into a looping crash.

Aside from the registry edit, is there just a simple "cab" file that I can install? I'm still a newb with registry edits and really don't want to try doing that until I have some time to really understand how that works and back up the phone properly prior to performing tasks like that.

Thanks in advance for anybody that can help.

no cab that I know of but just go to the link and download the file and do a copy/paste in the windows directory and overwrite the current file. It is what I did and it works perfect.

So does that apply for any Manila file that's posted? Just need to add it to the windows directory, soft reset and it's good to go?

Has anybody tried this on the Touch Pro?

Was considering putting on the newest version, but wanted to make sure before I install the cab.

Yes, but I have yet to have one that fixes the alignment
