Default Manilla settings?

does anyone know where the settings for TF3D are stored? as in, which contacts are displayed, which programs, cities etc...

i tried to backup my registry changes before flashing again thinking that would capture this info, but apparently not.. sure would save time on a re-flash if we knew

I would like to be able to tweak fonts in Manilla, e.g. white to black on the Home Screen of 3DTF. Is that possible?

well, this is all i can find in the registry for the TF3D settings:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]

the stuff under that controls the wallpaper, and the cities in the weather tab


this location is where you can backup what programs are listed under your programs tab:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher]


but i still can't find where its storing which photo contacts are listed under the contacts tab... anybody?



also.. sometimes the wallpaper doesn't set although i have this key.. am i missing something?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CachedBackgroundPath"="\\Internal Storage\\Content\\Wallpaper\\stripes1.png"
"HomeBackgroundPath"="\\Internal Storage\\Content\\Wallpaper\\stripes1.png"

doesn't that restore your entire registry though? which would sort of negate the purpose of flashing a ROM that the chef has pre-tweaked in the registry

I assume that the contacts displayed in TF3D are stored in a database file, probably in the windows folder. I've looked through pretty much everywere in the registry without success.

im assuming its in the ********_manilla files in the \Windows Folder, best of adding a new contact, then sorting the windows folder by modified date in Resco Explorer or something like that.

thanks walshieau.. tried it, but none of those files seem to be changing as far as resco explorer is concerned. in fact, i added contacts a couple of times and don't see which one is changing.

i wanted to export the whole folder to my desktop and then add contacts and export again and use a file comparison software to see the diff, but too many files were protected and stuff so it was so tedious... if anyone figures this out, let me know.. i'm stumped.
