So without reading thru that huge thread...

- Where can you see a map from the manila weird filenames to their real filenames?
- What is a QTC file?

There is QTC files on the device, I assumed that there was some sort of mapping file between the manila_ files and their real filenames?

It's all very odd biggrin.gif

P

As far as I can tell, the manilla exe does all the file sorting. In the ROMs, all it is is a long list of files with weird headers...

Some of the XML files (which, like the rest, don't have an extension and needs looking at with a text editor...) contain the mapping.

I think (although I may be wrong) that the QTC files are the graphics... There are also Lua scripts and some files with OpenGL ES in the header which I'd guess would do the file handling...

HTC have finally made something that takes time to hack! mad.gif

Shame really, as there are some simple requests people would like to see - changing the background on Manila across all tabs for example. Shouldn't be as hard as it is blink.gif

I'm holding off really snooping around the T-Mo ROM until I get my C4, and hence don't have to keep blatting my main device all the time biggrin.gif

I'm waiting for this on t-mobile with baited breath!!

With my MDA compact 3 i was able to restore the standard config by hard resetting then immediately doing a soft reset thus stopping the t-mobile progs from installing. Would this be possible with the diamond/C4 ? I'm really not a fan of pink rolleyes.gif

Probably wouldn't work as the T-Mo customizations are probably built into the ROM rather than the ROM customizations applied after a hard reset...

Thats a shame, i was hoping it would be easy to do as i'm not sure about messing with the rom......the only time i've done that was upgrading WM to version 6.

It seems daft to remove one of the more interesting apps from the phone, i was looking forward to messing with youtube without hassling around with the browser.

I'd guess they don't want us stealing bandwidth!

It's possible (in theory) to create a cab from the OEM packs extracted from the ROM.
