Change T-Mobile Dialer skin

I have a T-Mobile Vario that have a dialer T-Mobile skin. Can I change this skin to default WM5 dialer (blue)?
Thanks

Yep I want to do this as well the T mobile dialer skin is well poo realy had no probs on my XDA II

Try searching 'dialer skin' in search.
Thats how I found WM5 dialer skin for my JAM.
Good luck 8)

Tried that with No luck

1. Using a registry editor - edit the following registry entry: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'.
2. The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be '1' for the T-Mobile skin or '0' for the default WM5 skin. You will probably find a '1' in your t-mobile device and '0' if you have an I-Mate or QTEK
3. Change the value of the above so that that you get: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0'
4. Soft Reset and you should see the defaul WM5 dialer.
5. In the background of the dialer you will probably see a small faded T-Mobile logo. If this irritates you - you can get rid of it too by:
6. Download the following file:
http://members.home.nl/pieterstroink/GoT_startpost/K-JAM/carrierlogo.gif
carrierlogo.gif (right click, save as)
7. Do not change the name of the file, it must remain carrierlogo(.gif)
8. Find the original carrierlogo.gif file on your MDA Vario - it should be in the windows directory. Overwrite this file with the file that you have just downloaded.
9. Soft reset
10 Done

T-Mobile dialer OUT
Thanks Lisa... work!

Smartdialler??
Hello,
Now, I haven't SmartDialer/interllidialer!!!
I don't know if was after this change or after delete Extended_ROM2 files; but I have .CAB files and not any smartdialer CAB (only smart dialer enabler)!
Can somebody help? Or send this CAB file?
Thanks

The blank carrier logo worked, but the DWORD value still keeps resetting itself to "1" again after a soft reset...
What am I doing wrong?
[EDIT] Oh well..... somehow the phonepad changed and when I look up my registry the value now is (and stays) at "0".
Don't ask me how or what.... but it's fine now. :wink:
Last question: does anyone know how to erase/change the T-Mobile boot screen (when you do a soft reset)?
THNX.

SmartDialer
Well... it is true... if change registry value 1 to 0 put WM5 skin, but SmartDialer don't work.
If change again 0 to 1 smartdialer work (and dialer too) but with T-Mobile skin... that is not beauty!
Somebody know how put Dialer and SmartDialer WM5 skins at T-Mobile Vario?
Thanks

Anyone?

Can't overwrite carrierlogo.gif
I can change to dialer skin fine with the registry key, but I can't overwrite the T-mobile carrierlogo.gif - it is always write-protected. How can I make it stop being read-only, so I don't get 'access denied' when attempting rename/delete?

Maybe put phone at Flight mode that off communications...

hi lisa just looking at your post. how do you edit the registry. or how do you get to the hkey menu
many thanks

Well I tried changing the value DWORD value from 1 to 0 but I just get a access denied message, any help?

anyone??????

I had the same problem when copying files from the PC to the phone so I copied them in a temporary folder on the phone and then used the total commander (free) on the phone to move/copy files to the desired destination. There is a warning message of overwriting, but it worked for me
good luck

I use PHM Regedit to set KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0'. I had the same problem with Enabled =0 changing back to 1. what I did was to backup the registry before doing a soft reset.
Changing the carrierlogo.gif, if you use Total Commander or GSFinder go to options and make sure the Rom files are hidden otherwise you are trying to overwrite carrierlogo.gif in the Rom.

Removing TMO phone skin is easy:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enable=1
Remove DIALER a PROGRESS entries under the Skin entry.
But if you modify these entries in some registry app, after soft reset they will be back, so best way is do it during instalation phase. I've created a few cabs for:
enable phone skin
disbale phone skin
remove skin registry entries and changing smart dialer skin to blue.
Changing Phone pad to qtek's one.
If would some want i can attach them here or upload them to the ftp.

total commander??

I am trying to use total commander to edit some registry files like to do this but i cant find where to start. I open total commaner and then i dont see any HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE file.

- Step 1: Copy to the phone and run it.
- Step 2: (Fixing WLAN button malfunction, somehow it doesn’t work by default on Wing): **Thanks for beowulf6’s post for this fix.
Change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN= "Windows WLanMgr.exe " "DeviceName" = "{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} TNETW12345"
the end of this long String is the WLAN-Adaptername of the Device.
just change in this Example "TNETW12345" into "TNETWLN1"
-Step 3: (Fixing Wi-Fi setting launch issue) **Thanks for phatman81’s post for this fix.
Change "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\WLAN\ Default:"
\Windows\WlanMgr.exe --> \Windows\ctlpnl.exe

Real quick
I don't have the time right now for a complete reply. Have you seen the HKLM directory under registry?
HKLM stands for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE...
Hope that helps..

When you start Total Commander, press the backslash button (\) at the top right corner. this will take you to the root directory of your device.
Double-click on the first folder, which should be called \\plugins.
Now double-click on the folder called Registry.
The HKLM folder that you see now represents "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE". you should be able to navigate from here to where you need to be.
Good luck!

found it and made the changes but still no luck

sorry,
you know how to backup the TotalCommander.
so you have all your favorite links and ftp etc..
after a change rom?

There are three command line arguments supported
argument 1 : <inifilename including path> if not given then default is VipRegExport.ini
argument 2 : <Output Folder name including path> If not given default Application Folder
argument 3 : <slient Option> Default is 'N'. If you want to run in slient option then pass third parameter as "Slient"
What is slient option : It will not display any error message like "Registry key does not exist to export" and exit application after export completes.
GUI also gives ability to select input file as well output Folder.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies\000010a will export just one key 0000101a in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies
where as F03=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HButton will export all keys and subkeys under that registry.
Basically if you want to export full registry including all subkeys and values then put actual key name in value If you only want to just export single keyvalue in specific registry then put keyname\valuename.
It also support HKCU, HKLM, HKCR, HKUS formats as well.
Restriction : Currently export can not export some new registry type like reg_multi_size etc but so far none of my registry values that I needed to export are of those type they mostly String, int, and binary value they all are supported.
Above restriction is removed. Now utility support all types of Registry. Credit Goes to Elemris craetor Kheb. ELemris Thank for helping me out on and sharing your code.

FAQ:
Do we need to put F01, F02..... what's happening if I have 2 F01?
F01, F01, F03 is just key in ini File It is not used any where in Program but it is needed in ini file as they are part of ini like section , key and value

Posted Version 4.0
Posted Version 4.0

posted new version 6.0.
Completely working. no restriction any more.

Interesting, thanks.
just one question, then.
So using:
[MyKeys]
F01=HKLM
F02=HKCU
F03=HKCR
will make complete registry dump? in one file?
I wouldn't ask, but i just cannot test it at this moment..

Can not export all reg's at present but i will include in next version

Strange,
F50=HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\Configuration

I have a question:

F01, F01, F03 are basic part if inin and they are needed.

\\ are not written correctly I think in name of keys?
I tried to backup F10=HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FdcSoft (pimBackup settings) and found that the custom list (folders list) does not have \
I have "\Windows\Rings\*.*"=dword:00000001 in the backup reg
But after, in the reg I have WindowsRings*.*
Looks like, the import (from sktools) needs \\ to save \...

Actuly it was fixed in version 7.5 but i did not released it.
It is now fixed in new version 8.0

Hi,
May be a good option would be to have an information in the .ini to set the export directory when you load the ini.

Hi v3patel,
stuff like this must be a sticky, because it helps us devs a little bit. Ok there are more other things, but not based on a ini file. With that and mort i have done now two tests and they look really good. I hope you will support it further. And when i read your last post (top on my one) then it is very interesting. Thank you for sharing with us...

[Problem] Set icons in start menu

Hi,
I´ve got an issue that i can´t set an icon to task manager and messages in start menu/settings/System. See the pic below. I use a cab file to apply these icons.

i just make a pkg with my reg entries and pics i want to use at the end of my kitchen. open up your reg with reg editor and see if it looks like this...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\cplmain.cpl,1]
"Rank"=dword:000002BC
"Icon"="[COLOR="Red"]\\[/COLOR]Windows[COLOR="Red"]\\[/COLOR]Start_Icon_Lock.png"
notice the \\, it must be that way in registry...a single "\" wont work. also you could try assigning rank, but i dont really think that is necessary for the pic to show.

Thanks for the tip. I made an OEM of my cab to make it easer. This is what reg i have for the task manager, but it dosnt work.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"
EDIT: Btw, how is rank determined? Dont really understand what ""Rank"=dword:000002BC" means..

I'm a noobie so forgive me if I make any mistakes.
But... Try adding some "zzz"s before the package to make it run at the end of the build process. If it still doesn't work, search inside all files (most probably the .provxml files) in your kitchen folder for "Task Manager.lnk" and see if another file is assigning a different icon to it. I use EVK's built in search engine to do jobs like that.
I hope I helped
EDIT: About Rank, icons are ordered from highest to lowest rank values in the start menu. I think "000002BC" is a hex value for the normal integer value that the rank is set to.
EDIT2: WOW! Awesome icons! Did you make them?

Thanks for the tip. I have the folder to run last in customization. I understand thats its some sort of hex value or whatever, but i dont understand it so i can place the icons where i want them.
The icons are made by dlink ithink.

2BC = 700. The rankings go from 0-999, and most are higher, which is why that one appears on the low side. The easiest thing is to just arrange everything on the phone (drag and drop), then export the entire start menu registry key and just put that into your start menu EXT. I'm not sure exactly how the values vary left to right and top to down.

I heard somewhere that the built in start menu 'drag n drop' messes with the ranks? I'm probably wrong though
I believe the ranks go in this order.. 1 being highest, 8 being lowest. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I hope NRG doesn't mind me butchering his start menu with my awesome paint skills

Hey... i dont think you are patching and i dont think you are trsut sign the cab... or making the image PNG...
but if you are "cooking" you dont need the cab... just make an EXT PKG with the icons ins the "file" folder... and the REGS in "app.reg" file making the path to the image, if you are patching you must to set the image as "read only" simple slash and be sure that CPL is teh correct one... and for the New TEXTMesage be sure you are using the path to.. tmail.exe i couldnt give you my EXT PKG with the paths cause im not in my home right now

Thanks for the help + Que PPC. The PNG is ok as it works in start menu. Btw, i made a package, instead of an cab. Much simpler to edit. What is the correct CPL for task manager in start menu/setting/System?
I have no clue on CPL or how to determine posistion

Ok i have the stock image for Taskmanager in my startmenu in position #24
Hex = 35A4EBEC
DEC = 900000748
So it seems that in the strat menu you can rank the icons as you want... by this 100 to 900 valu but in settings and for CPL icons the thing is.. they are arranged authomatically by name
(look at the attached image)
and this is the reg for cpl 30
Just this string in: Start menu settings system screen[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,30]
String value named Icon
with this: \Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png
BEsure there is the image in windows folder
so... in your EXT pkg it must be like this:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Task Manager.lnk]
"Rank"=dword:35A4EBEC
"Icon"="\Windows\Start_Icon_TaskMgr.png"

easyst way - works great in build 23112
hello,
1. hardcodec-items
the easyst way to change the icon, is to going in the sys folder to the directory
\SYS\23112\dpi_192\COMMON\Base_DPI_192\
you find all hardcoded items in this directory (e.g. start_icon_*.png)
give your new icons the same name in your ext directory (oem)
2. customize icons
only what you need to customize icon is the following reg-keys
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Task Manager.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Task Manager.png"
-> this key replace the "task manager.lnk" icon in the root of the startmenue
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Office\Notizen.lnk]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Office_Notizen.png"
-> this key replace the "notizen.lnk" (like notice in english) icon in the customize directory "order" in the startmenue
so when you need no ranking is the simplest and fastest wayy i can explain to you...

- I can confirm that this works fine.
- However, this is good for lnk that have direct entry under [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start]. But how to know which cpl index refers to which setting/program shortcut?

The thing is that i dont get the icon that is in SYS, i get the on in the exe. Would not matter if i change it.

Very true i can confirm that... the CPL images for icons in settings system cant be changed... maybe is due to another reg or .ico or other kind of file in oem

Could be.. Probably. I sure hope not

You should convert the rgu files to xml files.
XML always run after the RGU, So its better to use when making custom modification.

Th e cpl's are loaded in a provxml in the oem folder (don't remember which one off the top of my head). If it's messing with desired settings, rather than loading another provxml during first boot, and slowing down first boot even more, it's better to either edit or delete the oem provxml. Personally, I'd delete it and then put your start info in an app.reg in an EXT that runs near the end of the build.
Edit: the provxml with all of the cpl's is mxip_HtcApps_translation.provxml, and it's in oem-lang 0409. It's a complete waste to run this thing, imo. Just put it in an app.reg and you'll get a faster first boot.

Sorry but for change icon position in start menu, cant you do it just from start menu moving that icon and then go to the right reg key and export it?
This work for Kaiser dunno if Leo,Tp2 or Topaz has different way.

hi fellow chefs

[SOLVED] Display is missing from Settings -> System

Dear Members,
1. I have lost the icon to access display settings in my cooked roms. Meaning i cannot access the screen alignment or clear type settings. I have tried adding reg below as well:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings\System\cplmain.cpl,7]
"Icon"="\\Windows\\Start_Icon_Screen.png"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I cant access clear type settings from manila as well.
2. My HTC Recorder fails to appear in my start menu as well. I have set it to appear under "Multimedia" folder in app.dat. I have checked spelling and the lnk is present in the files folder.
In effort to solve this prob, i have checked initflashfiles.dat and searched all provxml files to see if something is deleting it (used ervius kitchen editor function to search for "Recorder" string under all files and appears to be ok)
Also, i have tried 2 different builds of SYS - both boots up properly but with same problem. Please advice what i could be doing wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Details:
Base: TMOUS 2.13
SYS: 21903 / 21892
SOLUTION - Refer to post 3 by Braakie

nothing seems to be wrong... can you please post what are you using to change the registries.. i guess if you are not using UIA icons you will have some troubles.

1) In your \OEM\LEO\COMMON\OEMDrivers folder, there is a 21b6ed86-a505-4ad7-a4aa-b8bb93c926d9.rgu file with this registery entry, change it from 1 to 0:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
2) For the HTC Recorder, change your pad in the \OEM\LEO\0409\OEM_Lang_0409 initflashfiles.dat file, search for "VoiceRecorder", and change Tools to Multimedia:
Directory("\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Multimedia"):-File("Voice Recorder.lnk","\Windows\Recorder.lnk")
ps: This is the English translation, change it in your own language.

Thanks guys,
Will recheck the paths and spellings. I have removed all entries in initflashfiles.dat all except the non HTC stuffs and placed it under its respective app.dat in ext folder. Im customizing the location and icon pictures of basic wm stuffs (ie: home, search phone, help,games etc.) using provxmls.
What i have done so far:
1. Copied all these provxmls below to a "zzz_newXML" ext package and edited to new path i want.
mxip_MyPhone_100.provxml
mxipcold_marketplace_100.provxml
mxipupdate_office_100.provxml
mxipupdate_onenote_100.provxml
mxipupdate_projectdefault_a_000.provxml
mxipupdate_RemoteDesktopMobile.provxml
mxipupdate_taskmgr_shell_1.provxml
mxipupdate_welcomecenter_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowslive_1.provxml
mxipupdate_windowsliveim_1.provxml
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
2. So the original is left untouched in SYS/OEM folder. Provxmls which assigns/resorts icons have been blanked out and placed in "zzz_newXML" files folder to overwrite the default paths so that i can fully control all icons using single provxml.
3. I am using mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml in XDA\EVK\OEM\LEO\0409\ProjectDefault_A to do start menu rearrangement. All Ext package icons customizations in placed in its respective folders.
My reason for choosing this method is so that i dont have to go to initflashfiles.dat or provxmls in new SYS package whenever i update system builds or add/remove ext package.
I have attached mxipinit_startmenu_001.provxml (from item 3 above) and my initflashfiles.dat if you guys need more details. Please advice if there are any other better/easier way of doing this customization.
Thanks in advance and sorry for the late reply!

Thanks Braakie! Finally found time to rebuild rom with the reg key and that did bring back Screen option in settings. I still couldnt get the recorder right, maybe something wrong with the ext package itself.
I think we can change it to solved now as my main concern was with screen settings.
