Changing branded bookmarks in Internet tab

[papalazarou]

Is it possible to change the bookmarks in the Internet tab?

I have branded ones as the first 4, with a branded larger logo at the top, and I really have no use for all but one of them. The ones I want to replace don't even work, as they connect via a proxy I'm not using.

Can I replace them?

hi,

i had the same problem with my t-mobile mda and here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408641&highlight=t-mobile+internet+tab) is the answer of your problem! patrickw_mdav explained the hole thing.

my internet tab looks now like this:

I just tried to find the folder referenced to in that post and can't find it on my Diamond.

While browsing on the device, I see two files called "InternetPortal" that are XML that will open within Opera.

How can I back them up and edit them? I can't see them when browsing the device on my laptop.

*EDIT*
Nevermind, I'm logged into to a different OS than usual on my laptop, and didn't have system files viewable.

my internet tab looks now like this:


How have you managed to customize it like that? At the moment I'm only able to get it to remove the banner (which it replaces with I'm assuming a default "launch browser" image) and it the one link I want remains.

My XML looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>

<InternetPortal>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>
<!--<Banner
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\_Telstra_banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\_Telstra_bannerH.qtc"
Text="BigPond"
NavigateUrl="http://wap.telstra.com/wap?entry=g"
Width="480"
Height="200" />-->

<!--<Link
Text="Yellow"
NavigateUrl="http://waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=yellow-g"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Yellow48.qtc" />
<Link

ImagePath="\Windows\_Sensis48.qtc" />
<Link
Text="Facebook"
NavigateUrl="http://waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g"
ImagePath="\Windows\_Facebook48.qtc" />-->
<Link
Text="Google Mobile"
NavigateUrl="http://m.google.com"
ImagePath="\Windows\google.jpg" />
<Link
Text="YouTube"
Executable="\Windows\YouTube.exe"
ImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\youtube. qtc" />
</OperatorLinks>

</InternetPortal>

You see I've commented out everything but the YouTube link, and added a custom Google image and link. Is it that it doesn't support JPG? I've got no info on qtc files, otherwise I'd use one of them to keep the convention.

Cheers.

my .xml looks like this and i´ve used .jpg and png (both works):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<InternetPortal>
<BrowserExe>\Windows\BrandedBrowser.exe</BrowserExe>
<IncludeUserFavorites>True</IncludeUserFavorites>

<Banner
DefaultImagePath="\interner speicher\google.png"
NavigateUrl="https://www.google.com/accountsxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/"
Text="Click Here"

Hmm.

The syntax in both our XML is fine. The only difference is the <browser> tag, which my original XML files didn't have, so I didn't think to include.

Do you happen to know the properties of your jpg? 48x48 is the standard dimension, I'm using 96DPI, but that shouldn't make too much difference.

Do you know when the XML is loaded? Is it on startup, or when the tab is accessed?

i don´t have any idea about .xml. i only displaced the things i thought it schould work :)
the xml is loaded when the tab is accessed. i didn´t have to restart.
my picture is 41x48 pixel and 24bit true color.

Ok, it really doesnt seem to like Dreamweaver, so I'm doing my editing in notepad.

So I've figured that if I have a corrupt or no XML file in Manila, it reverts back to a defaul "Launch Browser" banner, with a pretty cool image of a globe. For some reason the YouTube app is also in there, so that must be pulled in from elsewhere.

If I have the correct XML, it removes the banner and uses the settings from the XML, which has no banner set. So can anyone tell me the default banner properties? I really want that "Launch Browser" banner, with my own custom links.

can you just use my xml? maybe this works and you just have to edit the path to the pictures!? i use notepad too.

No your XML has that iGoogle banner you created. I want the default one, but because it's pulling from custom XML, and no banner is specified in that, it isn't producing one.

If I remove my XML, it goes back to default, so I need to know what the default settings are (image location/name/dimensions, executable target) and then plug them into my custom XML.

But the earlier problem I was having was because I was using Dreamweaver. I'm not entirely sure why, but switching to notepad opened the thing up for me and everything works as it should, just without a banner.

If I get no info from anyone, I might post back in a new topic about it.
