Removing Opera from Manila2D interface - FIXED!

[falzon03]

ok so im trying to copy the file right now and i keep getting
"Cannot copy 'Operal':
accessis denied.

Be certain that there is
enough free storage
memory, that the detination is not write-
portected andthat the file
is not currently in use."

Interesting input from you guys. If renaming PIE to OperaL.exe causes system to not find PIE in all instances, maybe going into SKtools and defaulting Opera to PIE along with that fix might correct the issue. I personally have not tested it, Just a theory.

Interesting take - right now the problem Im facing is that iexplore.exe on my Touch is set to read-only and a protected file, this is causing issues with:

1)resetting the "read only" status doesnt stay and reverts back to read only instantly

2)being a protected system file it will not allow me to copy or put into a .zip or .rar file into another directory, the same directory or on the storage card utilizing total commander, mobile versions of Zip and Rar (didnt think of SKTools finding it now - found and failed to copy the iexplore.exe file)

3)being that it is a protected file it may not also allow the renaming of the file either - not wanting to try that simply as I dont want to have to reflash again already tonight LOL

thinking we are gaining some steam here and may fix this issue soon

OK, I cannot find just the IExplore.exe ~16K in file size anywhere on the net, in installer or emulator packages

Anyone (Chef or otherwise) that may have it or can rip it, can you post it here?

Thanks

Still unable to test this out with IExplore.exe as I cannot find the file anywhere (here, net, etc)

I have tested this Idea of renaming skyfire.exe to OperaL.exe and coping all the files into the windows directory and it seems to function (I dont have a signon to test and havent contacted support to reset) but looks like its possible thus far

Mission completed !!!

Thanks to OMJ suppling me with a copy of IEplore.exe I have renamed the file to OperaL.exe and copied directly into the \windows folder of my device and went to the Internet tab on the Manila interface and clicked on the globe and boom - IE opens up the page

Now understand, this will break your Opera browser and pull up IE instead each time. to correct that if you want to run them both reinstall Opera and install it into your Storage Card - this will update all the known shortcuts on your device (programs, program page, etc) but the renamed file for Manila/TF3d will still look to the \windows directory and pull up IE by default (tested with the latest beta build of Opera and installed as above and no tweaks or reg edits needed all previous shortcuts pull up opera and Manila pulls up IE)

Now if you would rather have Skyfire as the Manila default, same deal - rename skyfire.exe to OperaL.exe, copy into \windows and allow it to overwrite, then reinstall Opera onto your storage card and you should be all set


Again thanks OMJ for the file and everyones ideas here as well

Applied the change, and it works.

I get an error every time I launch IE with this saying it is having a problem connecting, but I just have to dismiss it each time. Easier than using Opera...

It works perfectly;

EXCEPT one thing, when i launch the browser from the TouchFlo, the home page, i have set to google, doesn't load. It says;

in the location bar "http:///home" instead of www.google.ca

then the message comes up "The page can not be displayed because the server could not be found or a DNS error occurred."

If i launch PIE from the start menu it goes directly to google perfectly. also all the favorites from the TouchFlo work perfectly too.

any ideas?

Go here in the registry and see if you can change it.

HKLM/Software/HTC/InternetWidget/Customized/
BannerUrl = Url to open,
BannerUrlText = Text for shortcut that shows on manilla

Sorry I am really new to doing any kind of modifications to these. I had a HTC P4000 before and the only mod i did on that was the HTC Home Customizer. So as far as going to the registry i am really not sure what is meant my this. Could you please explain this a little more. Thanks.
