Hi all,
since I find the Actionscreen feature from the Touch very useful, i thought i'd try to port it to VGA.
With the help of l3v5y in the Prophet forum I figured out everything to do was to resize the graphics and change some RegKeys.
The only thing I couldn't change was the font size, so this is a bit tiny...
I also included the Action Screen in TFlo 3D's Home menu on the left softkey, how it's stated here by mooooooa
I built two cabs one English and one german (since I am from Germany). Other languages can be easily done by editing the corresponding RegKeys.
EDIT:
Forgot the Screenshot...
It's the German Version as you can see.
EDIT:
Since I got a couple of PMs asking how I mapped Wifi Toggle to the right softkey, I'll share it here:
Used the Wlan Button of Raiisak from here and mapped it to the Right softkey using the same method as stated above.
EDIT:
Other Localizations:
Italian by massi959
Norwegian by drerling
Italian by lele.d with big font
To do your own Localization just download the English version and the Locale Reg and translate the Values. Keep in mind that the 5 spaces before each value are for positioning, since the app is badly hardcoded for 320x240 resolution.
EDIT:
Thanks the idea of lele.d I uploaded a new German Version. This one cannot be localized through the reg files since the RegValues are in fact empty and the text is included in the graphics.
So give me some time and I'll do the available localisations, or if anyone of you would...
Also in the new Cabs there is the MMSLauncher.exe linked to the MMS button, since the original key just started an SMS. Also thanks to lele.d.
New Version:
- Raphael style
- Wifi toggle by raiisak included
- Installation to Internal storage possible
- Three localisations included (Deutsch, Englisch, WWE)
- Actionscreen Options included (set background, assign TF3d Home softkeys including custom app)
- zip containing background PSDs for other localisaations (pm me and I'll include them here)
TODO:
- Find a proper file/folder selector (any recommendations appreciated)
- Full customisattion support (theming)
screenshot please?
Thanks again, you are my heros
hi dou you think the font can be changed some way to be bigger?
I also had a look at this a while ago and the fonts appear to be hardcoded and not changeable.
Hi !
I translated this program in French !
click on this reg.

... and I've translate it in italian.
I tried to install this one on my Diamond with the original Swedish ROM. But when I press the 'NEW' button it says that it can't start the application due to problem either with the certification. Or the program isn't signed. It also says that it could be some files missing.
My bad. It just didn't work when installed on the 'memory card'.

Hello everyone,

Search for these 2 files "HH_HOME_pm.png" and "HH_HOME_pm.png" in your Windows directory you must have those to display "am" & "pm". Or use the Home Customizer to pick a clock color of your choice to restore alll files required for the clock.

The AM/PM should be built-in with almost all Home graphic sets.
The clock icon means that there is an alarm set....
I sloved this problem on my Kaiser. I had setted up English (Ireland) regional settings. English (ireland) has not 'hh:mm:ss tt' time format so i changed it on registry and it is worked but no in HTC Home. Someone who have this problem can try this:
Go to regional settings and set up English UK option. Now go to the time tab and and set up hh:mm:ss tt time format. Now go to the first tab and change to English (Ireland) back. For it is working. Sorry for my english. Best regards and thanks for any help.
thanks a lot art12345
With your last indications I have been able to get it!!!
even for spanish option
again, thanks for your help
I am happy that it is working on your Kaiser too. You are welcome. Best regards.
Description updated 08 Nov 2008
I stopped using the HTC Diamond dialer after I found out that it uses 10MB of memory (8MB on some improved ROMs like SwiftBL) at all times and is partly responsible for the device's laggy dialer performance.
The default WM dialer is an ugly grey but after finding this thread about QVGA skins I decided to make my own black skin. I'd like to thank the starter of that thread, Raceit, for helping me to get started with the image files and trying to fix them for me. Cheers dude!
I don't know how to make CABs yet so here's a zip. (EDIT: CAB available in post #3.) The orange colouring in the screenshots was part of my theme, not part of the skin.
To install, first disable the HTC dialer, see post #2 for more details.
If you would like to install the black 3D skin pictured below, the easiest method is to install the CAB provided by mic_888 in post #3. If you plan to use another skin that doesn't have a CAB then I advise installing the CAB anyway, then copying the images files from the ZIP archive into the Windows folder. There are 2 advantages of installing a CAB - firstly so that the image files are unprotected and easier to overwrite and secondly to make uninstallation easier. Just uninstall the CAB to remove whatever skin you are using and revert to standard the standard WM grey skin.
Hint: The Matrix, Flat Black and Sunset skins in this thread feature transparent buttons with different edge colours, feel free to use them with your own backgrounds. It's just a case of replacing the two png images with your own choice of portrait/landscape images
EDIT: Matrix and Flat Black skins added, see post #24 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Sunset skin added, see post #29 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Grey/White skin added, see post #71 - CAB now added!
EDIT: Dark TouchFlo skin by nhvoltagenh, see post #74-#75
Please also check out the skins by holdemdogg, starting at post #49!
Edit: More Skins, good ones too...

Noonski Diamondish Skin

Information about using the standard WM dialer
The main drawback of the standard WM dialer is that you cannot use it for video calling. Not an issue for me personally.
The advantages are that it saves almost 10MB of memory, even on ROMs with an optimized dialer, and gets rid of that slight lag when making or answering a call when you're not sure if it's actually going to do anything. A further benefit is that the answer and reject keys are much more difficult to press accidentally, removing the need for an additional locking program (Answerkeys Disabler, TouchLockPro, S2U2, etc.)
The HTC dialer can be disabled using DiamondTweak or Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. You must also disable the HTC Volume Control if you wish to be able to adjust the volume in-call. The only working method that I know of is to use this CAB here.
Edit: It turns out that disabling the HTC dialer also loses the Bluetooth icon in the taskbar. I had a quick google and found this solution. I've tested it and it works fine on my Diamond. File attached below for convenience.
Edit 2: The developers of the bluetooth icon app have released a new version that's more compatible with VGA! See below.
Made a cab - I haven't tested it though

Nice one, glad someone else finds it useful! Can you post any more information? I don't know where those files are.
If anyone has any requests for other colours or designs, let me know. Also please feel free to post your own designs here.
so all i do is run the cab and then 10 mb will be freed up? does this work on the sprint diamond?
Any idea how to undo disable HTC volume control if I plan to go back to default HTC dialer?
Is the cab changing some registry settings?

No you need to disable the HTC dialer and volume control too. See post #2 for details. I don't know enough about the differences in the sprint but I expect so.

Well done, I'd like to try this!
But, as I use skilty's TF3D Matrix theme with it's skinned dialer, I'd like to request a Matrix WM dialer skin, please. For personal use and to share it in the Matrix Trilogy theme resource thread.
Maybe you want to have a go at it? It would be great if you could design one with 'real' 1234567890 digits. Perhaps from one of the free Matrix fonts.. And it would be bonus if you could design another skin with 'actual' Matrix font digits, like these.
Or maybe you can just use skilty's dialer artwork? I could ask skilty. Anyway, TIA!
Thanks Davey101!
I'm waiting for that since a long time!!!

News flash!
The Matrix trilogy ended, lamely, 5 years ago!
I think it might be easiest to use transparent buttons with a simple green border so that the matrix background image is seen through the buttons. I'll see what I can come up with, unless you'd like to have a go?
I don't know how to change the button font, sorry.
I use Vito Winterface....
I have made these buttons but not centered!
(I take the same gif mesure of Black VGA Dialer skin: 86x56, 128x54, 142x56 and 180x54)
If somebody could help me...

Hi all,
Is anyone able to develope a Dialer skin that increases the numeric button sizes, There is a big bar of space at the top of the dialer that could be used for the other buttons we use, Or can we remove the call history list to increase the buttons?

I'm sure it is possible but that would involve replacing or editing the dialer software, not just the skin. The standard software has a fixed layout and we can replace the images used but not change their size or position.
It might be worth looking around for an alternative dialer...

Hey guys,

At the moment, i have to go to the dailer to start iContact

to whatever you want.
Have you managed to get iContact to work okay as I have found the text to be far too small to be useable.

Thanks for the quick answer. I will test it.
You have to install the VGA Version of iContact like Burts Edition:

And there are a lot of VGA-Skins, that look very nice on HD:

Apologies. Now I have read what you want, I also want that!! I found a .cab file icontact v0.5 which was supposed to replace the registry entries to launch iContact but that hasn't worked on the HD and it appears that the registry layout is slightly different.

there are more buttons, but You can't use them
so is there something else I have to change?

I added the registry entries to allow for more, this all seemed to work, clicked on a button to add the appropriate new link, comes back, no icon. I go into Diamond TF3D Config and can see that the entries are in there, but TFlow3D wont action or show the icons - very confusing, there must be something we are missing and my Swiss German is sadly lacking - any ideas?

Hi,
I realize that this question was asked a million times on the forum, but I've been looking for a solution since yesterday and just can't find it
Can anyone tell me how can I change the default touch input language (T9) on Windows Mobile 6.5? I'm using the Rhodium Manila with the new Keyboard and I have by default english language (I'd like to have polish).
I cannot change this in any way. I've tried to do it by registry in several keys, but it won't work.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Hey,
for me this worked:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3865875&postcount=362
else you can change HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\BioToShowMenu to 1 (in registry) and wait for few seconds.. (not more than 10sec) that "starts" the sip-menu, and you can click on your language
maybe it says [unknown] in the menu, then click there, that brings you to the language submenu
hope that helps you

Great! It helped, thanks a lot
Sorry for the double post, just wanted everyone to notice it
I've made a cab, which changes the registry value (thanks to tomoffel), so that you have easy access to the SIP Menu. I tried to do it as a reg file, but it would require some additional program to run it.
Just install it (don't mind if it shows 'The installation was unsuccesful') and voila
The cab is rather only for WM6.5, where the SIP menu is hidden.
great idea! Thank you!
just poping up the SIPmenu after "installation"?
btw. found the BioToShowMenu entry by playing around in the registry, don't know if this was known befor maybe that helps to fix the SIP menu in 6.5?
Yeah, exactly I thought that changing the reg value everytime I want to change the language or keyboard type is a but uncomfortable. It's a pity though that running reg files requires some additional software, because it would be faster.
That's some nice discovery of you with that reg value I'm not that so much in WM, but I hope this can help!
Ok, here's the other way. You have to install an app (FdcSoft Task Manager), it will associate reg files, so that after clicking one the reg value will be changed.
Here's the reg file content:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ezsip\]
"BioToShowMenu"=dword:00000001
The last line must be empty!
Credits for finding the reg key go to tomoffel
And here's the ready file in the attachment.
great and awesome! works like a charm

Good to know Here's another upgrade to access the menu faster - just do a shorcut and put it into start or assign a hardkey for it
I assigned the shortcut to GScrolls Launch function now wenn I tap back and center, the SIP-Menu comes up! Thank you again
now you/we/the uber pros just have to find a way how the "SIP-Button" shows that menu.. but it looks like nobody is interesstet :/
Offtopic:
can you add new words to the xt9 database? This never worked for me :/ neither after hardrest nor after installing another sip that uses the xt9 :/ (just ask because I see you use the same ROM )
That's a good idea with assigning the menu to GScroll, will try it myself
I noticed already yesterday that adding new words to t9 doesn't work It could be an issue with the rom we are using. Would be nice to have some feedback from anyone with a different rom...
yes.. pretty poor nobody on the ROM thread could give me an answer :/ I will play a little with the registry and file from ezSIP maybe I'll find another "solution"
