Add the new Facebook Tab to your TF3D2


Alright here is a tutorial so that you can get it done yourself and not be overwhelmed. I took alot of time to put this together for everyone so if there are any questions, feel free to ask. For those who still think that they may not be able to do this or are afraid of screwing something up I will take requests to do the script inserts for you. You will have to put the 26948339_manila into a zipped file and post it on this thread so I can send it back to you fixed. Hope this helps!!!



Want to be one of the first people to finally have a facebook tab on your own personal device? Well I plan on helping you do just that. All that is required of you to do on your part is a few simple tasks.

  • on your device copy 26948339_manila from your \windows\ directory to your PC.
This file is what you send to me to put in the programing for you.
download the provided attached file and copy all the files in the zip file \windows\ directory to your device's \windows\ directory.


now on your device double click the "appFacebook.reg" file and it should automatically import the registry settings to your device.


Now open the original 26948339_manila file with program notepad2 that I provided for download. It will look just like this:


Now with that open, copy and paste this script in between the words "page" and then replace the "x" in the script with what number would have come next and fix the following numbers to continue counting.

Code

<Page Order="X" Name="facebook.page" PackageName="HTC" Title="[[Facebook]]">
<ComponentReference Name="page" Mode9Path="HTC\People\facebook.mode9" Component="SummaryAllPage" SmartComponent="true"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_normal" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Off"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_selected" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_On"/>
<ComponentReference Name="icon_preview" Mode9Path="HTC\Manila\Facebookicon.mode9" Component="Facebook_Preview"/>
</Page>


I suggest that you scroll to the very end to insert this script. That way you can avoid having to change the page numbers for all of them all the way down.
Now save the file (may say it's a read only and can't be changed see fig. 7) then copy it back to your device's windows directory. (may have to recheck the "read only" selection first)
FIG. 7

To Reset Manila:
a) Delete "\\windows\manilaFull.xml" on your device (don't worry this regenerated when manila restarts).
b) Delete the configuration reg-key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration (this resets the tab list and allows the new tab to be included in the tab re-ordering page of the settings tab)
c) Now as long as I haven't forgotten anything, you can restart your device and after manila initializes (takes quite longer the 1st time), you should have a new tab.

Re: [Tutorial] Add the new Facebook Tab to your TF3D2
 
I finally did get it to work. Had to load Resco to import the reg file, and had to move the manila file after editing to a folder location on the phone then use Total Commander to copy from one location on the phone to the Windows folder. Otherwise looks great! Thanks for the detailed instructions.

Works great, thanks! One question though- Is there any way to change the slider icon? I'm on Mr. X with cmylxgo's Violet theme, and the big blue F logo clashes with it. Is there any way to extract that specific tab icon & edit it to match?

Re: [Tutorial] Add the new Facebook Tab to your TF3D2
 
At first I thought I was just unpopular cause nothing new was popping up when I tried to sync it, but then I logged in via the FB app & there were all sorts of notifications. I can't get this tab to sync anything. I've tried logging out then back in several times & got it to display one of my own wall posts last night but it disappeared right away. Dunno what I'm doing wrong...

Sweet! Thanks for the simple directions.... Worked like a charm. Now to test battery life with this additional tab.

Re: [Tutorial] Add the new Facebook Tab to your TF3D2
 
Maybe it's due to lack of sleep but I don't see that manila file. Am I missing something?

Nevermind, got it. Not sure why but the only way I can find it is a search. Browsing doesn't show it.

roofus3000 03-29-2010 10:43 PM

Re: [Tutorial] Add the new Facebook Tab to your TF3D2
 
Is a cab file able to be put together on this? Im not that far advanced yet on phone programming. Its like taking a computer class trying to figure out all of the settings and instructions. I greatly appreciate the instructions but a simple cab would be awesome. Im using nrg rom march 9 and like it pretty well I dont want to change to a new rom just to get this facebook tab but would love to add it to the tabs i have already.
thanks

Anybody willing to test a cab of this for me? Just baked it into my phone and it works great but I wanted to make sure it works with other configurations. I did get an error on reboot but it didn't cause any problems. Plase only contact me if you are able to flash your phone after you've tested. PM me.

Ok what you need to do is go into main memory root directory from your computer and on the upper left side of that window there's a tab that says organize assuming you have vista cause that's what I'm running. Click that and go down to folder and search options from there go to view on that screen scroll down to hide protected system folders and uncheck that box hit apply and your windows folder should magically appear lol. hope that does it for ya.

I made a cab if you wanna help me test it :-)

Try making it Read Only again after you have saved it. You can also copy it to another location on the device and then from Total Commander or Resco on the device, copy it into the Windows directory. I think you still have to make it read only again for the second option too. Near the end of the tut, you will see the Read Only directions. Hope this helps. Let me know if you want to try the cab

I recommend PHM or Resco registry editors. Do you know how to navigate the registry? Be very careful, wrong edits can be very bad!!!

geotravelcat 03-31-2010 10:49 AM

Re: [Tutorial] Add the new Facebook Tab to your TF3D2
 
Something I just thought of too is that now that you have edited the file from you PC you can move all of the files to your phone in some non "Windows" location and follow the directions without the code modification. In other words, copy the contents of the windows folder to the Windows directory again from the phone, use Task Manager v3.1 registry editor to run (Import) the appFacebook.reg file, then copy the 269 Manila file (already edited) back into the Windows directory, and then delete the manilafull.xml and delete the key "configuration" as mentioned above. Do all of this from your phone. I think you Configuration key mishap is due to the .reg file not registering. Make sure to do this step from inside task manager v3.1. It will allow you to "Import" the .reg file so it enumerates correctly. Let me know if you need help with this.

Sounds like either your reg file didn't import or your editing may be altered. Check your registry to see if the edits are there. If not use Task Manager 3.1 to Import the file.

Re: [Tutorial] Add the new Facebook Tab to your TF3D2
 
The entries are in the registry. I went in and altered them to reflect the proper path for facebook.exe. I was unable to locate the file manillafull.xml even with a search. Could that be my problem?

Yea so was I at first. took me a while to get it. only because the instructions are not to specific at all. I finally got it working though. What i messed up on, was putting the windows folder that you download from the attachment into my windows directory in my phone and also putting the appfacebook.reg file in the windows directory. put i found the readme file thats in the attachment to be more helpful. It was a little more specific. I had to open the windows folder, that you download from the attachment and copy those files into my windows directory in my phone. Then after that i had to put the appfacebook.reg file in the root of the phone. if anyone needs help message me ill give you a specific step by step. its actually pretty easy

Problem... Is anyones facebook tab as worthless as mine? maybe i did something wrong, but it is working. here is the problem- it dont tell me any update statuses of my friends, like the pics show on this thread. the only thing there is "me" and my fb pic. i can click on "me" and see my notifications, like messages comments etc. other than that the tab is just so plain...anyone else have this problem, or know how i can fix this? thanks in advanced! :)
