I have 2 questions about my Mogul.
1- Is it possiable to change the default web browser to something other then PIE? for instance if i click on a link in my email i would like it to open in Opera Mini-Java, can taht be done? Or at least done in some other browser?
2 - Can i get Sprint TV on my phone yet? I know it was out there for a while as i had it, then it was deactivated. It is part of my plan and i would like to use it if i can. But i'm using DCD's latest ROM which doesn't have it, if it is possiable can someone package (or point me to) an installer?
And a shout out to all of you guys who do this stuff for beer and such these mod's are so amazing!
Thanks!

I don't know if this file will help or not.
If you upgrade to the latest official Sprint ROM, you will get SprintTV included/installed along with it.
You can find the latest official ROM here:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=75&act=sd (3.56)
As far as using another browser as your default, I'm afraid I just put up with PIE and have never looked at switching. I presume it is a registry setting.
Try looking at:
HKEY_Classes_Root\http\Shell\Open\Command and change the default value to your preferred browser. Like I said, I've never done it, but it makes sense to me.
Let me know if that works.
Thanks.

And that's how I got the cab. After installing the rom... clicking on Sprint TV... brought the dialog for the CAB file. LOL
there's a thread on the development and hacking page called jzsmartmort. it'll allow you to change your default browser to whatever you want (opera mini, skyfire etc). its worked for me, and pretty simple to do. install a cab and click the option you like within the jzsmartmort prog.

It looks like there are a huge number of "mime" types in the HKCR branch like \HKCR\http\Shell\Open\Command that points to IE. So you would have to change all these to point to Opera and cross your fingers it works.
EDIT: Use the JZ SmartMort it is sweet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=382043
Or you could just use my Opera Mini or Java Pack located in my signature.

I believe it is the right key. My pda opens up in opera mobile 8.65 when I follow email links. I didn't know how it knew to do that. Checking this key shows that it is set to
"\Program Files\Opera\OperaLaunch.exe" %1
Perfect!
GC's installer worked perfect as well as the installer for the Sprint TV, infact i'm watching it now, now if i could just get the audio from Sprint TV to go through my Bluetooth headset i'd be set!
Thanks alot all!
You might try BTaudio. I have used it to send audio from wm player to my headset. I don't know why it wouldn't work for TV as well.

I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?
just stick a peice of black tape over the portion that says picturemail on your phone...

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

That is a good idea. I'll have to try that!
As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.
Complete noob to rom flashing and the like but was just wondering.
If there have been no ROMS created for the Rose how would I go about getting rid of all the Uk Orange crap that appears on the start up screen? Also Opera has been replaced with IE but the email client and RSS feeder still try and open opera when clicking on a link. Which is obviously very annoying having to copy and paste links into IE.
If someone could link me to a description of what Hard spl means as well that would be lovely. I'm trying to get m head around all this!!
until some posts a hardspl for the rose you are stuck on the rom front.
In terms of the orange [email protected], you can get rid of most of that by start menu settings.
my orange rose is coming soon. I will dump and try and cook the rom using the latest diamond cooker. see what comes up
in the meantime, read all the stuff on the diamond cooker and see if you are inspired to create an sspl and cook your own rom
There are no options in settings to remove the Orange start up screens. None that I can see anyway.
I am also told I need some kind of registry editor to change the default web browser that the email client and RSS feeder uses??
I want to give Iris a go but need to be able to link it with my email and RSS otherwise it will be too annoying!!
I have much research to be done to create my own rom. I don't even know where to start. I don't even know how to use Chome editor yet!!

try (with a registry editor like phm):
1.
Hkey_Classes_root\htmlfile\DefaultIcon to iexplore.exe,-1003.
Hkey_Classes_root\htmlfile\Shell\Open\Command to iexplore.exe file:%1
Repeat the steps above for the HTTP and HTTPS key.
2. HKCU/ControlPanel/Keybd/APP3_Path
change it from OperaLaunch.exe to iexplore.exe
OR
try this one:

Hey guys,
On my Windows Mobile 6.5.X, using the latest version of Iris Browser (1.1.9), I noticed that the "Navigate" context menu isn't working (at least using classic OS Menus), so I'm not able to bring up any of the navigation features, making my navigation experience quite frustrating.
I know that Iris is old and unsupported, but on my HD2 it's fast, stable and as of today it's the only good Webkit based browser, so I thought to modify the executable to work correctly with WM 6.5.X, and I reorganized the menu structure so that everything should be working.
Here you can find some pics:

And the download link: just unpack and overwrite the original IrisBrowser.exe
Tested working on my HD2 with Dutty's HG WM 6.5.X 23569. Let me know if it works for you
Enjoy
Always on the look out for a good browser. I'll install and post a review for yah tomorrow.
where can I find Iris 1.1.9?
iris browser its dead 1 year ago

Yeah, it's dead, like most of the apps for Windows Mobile today, but it's still a top-notch browser and on my HD2 it outperformss Opera 9 most of the times
You, sir, are a lifesaver. I cannot thank you enough. Iris is the only decent webkit browser available for the moment that has a halfway decent zoom to frame algorithm. It does everything else too, like flash lite, and really only needs a skinning to be up there with the big boys.
I was actually preparing to downgrade my rom to a 6.5 just to get iris to work.
Again, you have my thanks.
Wow Thaanks! Didn't know someone would be dedicated enough to fix this bug
EDIT: out of curiosity, how did u decompile/hack/fix the exe?

Anytime man I'm glad to give something back to the community
When I first used this browser 2 weeks ago, this bug was really frustrating so I started thinking to any possible solutions (except for going back to WM6.5 just for an app ). In the end the simplest was the most effective: I could edit all the resources using ResHacker
If possible I'm also thinking of modifying some other resources to be more finger friendly (i.e. the favourites window), but I dunno if in this case ResHacker will be enough

Thanks Drakknar, this had been frustrating me too. I think to keep the tabs menu item working you have to have it as the 4th item. Here's my version: exe zip.
It's great.
Iris browser has been the only usefull browser for google tasks.

It really depends on the app itself... Inside some executables you can view an impressing amount of resources, while on others there's almost nothing to edit except from the app icon lol. I guess I was just lucky to be able to edit this kind of resources on this specific app
can't download
I'm having some issues with Megaupload.
Mirrors please. Hope this isn't too much of a request.
Really nice browser.
@JamieKitson, I miss the 'home' function in your menu to go to the homepage.

Can someone who have a copy of menu fixed iris browser 1.1.9 reupload, please?
The megaupload download link is down. :-(
Still out there?
I know this is an old thread, but I'm still using Iris browser and I'm wondering if anyone might have a copy of either of the two modified exe files mentioned in this thread. With the loss of Megaupload, neither link works and an extensive Google search shows no other hosts for the files.
Thanks for any help!
Thanks to Reshack, here is my version of menu fix for IrisBrowser.
Just unrar the file and copy it to your IrisBrowser program folder in your WM phone to replace the original IrisBrowser.exe.

did you install one? what rom are you on? stock roms don't have one.
Wow didn't expect such a fast answer!
No I haven't installed one.
I use 1.43.413.2 SWE ROM.
total commander (free) and resco with the registry plugin (not free) are the most popular for use on the phone, but far easier when sat at your pc is 'cereg editor'. Great for adding, removing, tinkering, etc etc, and all with your full size keyboard and mouse.
