Hello,
I have a question. Maybe someone knows on this forum???
Where can I find the keys which change the speaker icon in the taskbar? Next tot the phone signal there is a speaker icon. It changes to vibrate and silence when selected. Which keys in the registry do this? How is this icon changed?
I kow it is possible, because some apps support this, but I can't find how to do!
Thanx for anyones help!
No one knows? Anyone should......
Where is this one switched in the registry? Which value changes???
Hope some can help!
Phone Profiles from JGUI can do.... So someone should know about this...
Help would be really appreciated, then developing can go on!!! With I hope an excellent product for everyone!
what makes you think that those programs use the registry to change icons or what ever it is you are talking about

Sorry, don't get your point exactly! I try to let the icon (volume icon) get changed programmaticaly, like it changes when changing the volume to vibrate or off.
I suspect that it is done bu the registry! Any other ideas? Anyone knows how this is done? Someone should know....
Are you actually wanting to mute the volume aswell ?
Try looking in HKey_Current_user\Control Panel\Volume (don't have a PPC here atm, so can't check)
Otherwise, I would export your registry, change the setting to vibrate manually, then export again. Copy both these to your PC and compare them.. there are many programs that can do this for you to make life easy
well maybe it's a function in the api / sdk / framework of the pocketpc phone edition
whats make you think it's set in the registry?

Well, that was the first thing that came to me. I saw it in the application of JGUI I stated above and though that it should be a registry value. I couldn't think of any SDK / Framework / API, because that would make it almost impossible to implement it like this.
The volume can be muted as well, but for now the muting volume and vibration is done already, but I am still looking for how to change the picture of the volume icon.
Rudegar, do you have any idea then???

The key you gave me indeed changes when setting some different volume settings. But I didn't find any key yet in that place which changes the picture I mentioned. Anyone?
Why could no one tell me about this? No developer has ever tried to hack this picture? Any ideas are welcome!
may lightning strike me down for posting a microsoft link here
but maybe the today screen is what you need to be able to edit to get what you want.
I'm not 100% sure, but it may point you in the right direction.

the registry has nothing to do with what you want to do.

What is doing the trick then? Why can't I manage to change these icons until now? Anyone??
those icons are located in one of the OS dlls. I believe that it's in the mfce300.dll Maybe you can change it creating a .mui for that dll but I'm not sure.

Hi all,
It's freezing in London, UK! Anyways...
I hate the o2 phone skin I am stuck with, I noticed once before after a hard reset there was a much nicer skin - im guessing it was the default WM5 skin...I know it was blue... Well - I want it back ..
So today's question from me..
How do I change my phone skin.. WITHOUT HARD RESET..
Ta
lol..its bloody freezin!..
here u go...speeded up my exec..and actually prefer the simple default skin anyway..use resco or any other registry editor
To set or remove the operator phone skin
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'
The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be set to '1' to show the operator skin or '0' to show the default skin
wow that is so much faster! Thanks!
Although - I was talking about a completely different skin? Unusual!
Ahh well this one is just what I need - a phone.
Ta!
The problem with method is that you lose the button for video calls. Is there a way around it?
Thanks

the button on the keyboard? Does that work?
look for the post called "a collection of hacks" or something on those lines. I remember seeing a cab to change the phone skin...

HI,
I tried the buttons and I cannot get video calls with the default phone skin (as explained above).
Thanks.
the most interesting about it actually is that it will give you 10 Megs of RAM...if you can live without the videocalling.
My videocalling button appears to work. :?

How exactly do you get that extra space?? Does it require a hard reset or can you delete the extra files? If the latter which are the correct files to delete?
Hey guys,
I need to switch the location of my contacts and calendar for my softkeys, anyone know how to do that?
Here is the location in the registry:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys/112
This is for the calendar. Change "default" to the text you want displayed and "open" to the path of the app.
If it doesn't exist, create a new key called 113 under:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys
same setup under 113 as 112.
Here's a slightly easier way of doing it. Download this file, rename the extension to .cpl and put in your \windows folder, soft-reset and then goto Start -> Settings -> System -> Soft-Key
See next below for the cab.
Here it is in Cab file for those who prefer a 'one-click' solution....
The control panel item in the cab kyphur attached above is integrated into the custom Cingular ROMs 2.24 and above...that I build anyway.

When I use it to set a soft key for New SMS or New MMS, it says canot find file. Any idea how to resolve?
I'm using the QTEK 2.17 ROM

Was it present in Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST.exe or perhaps added to the followup? I don't see the shortcut present in Start --> Settings --> System.
I don't particularly want it, but am more curious why I don't see it and wondering if there's anything more than just the radio ROM different between the two builds.
Thanks for all your hard work on this! I'm on record as the first to kiss your @$$ in my tagline. Though that guy offering to have your kids & seahorse stuff - well, that was a pretty strong show of support even if a bit spooky. I thought it might be cool if others running your custom ROMs did the same with their tags and you could see the positive impact on the community by a show of raw numbers. :mrgreen:
just wondering im trying to map my left softkey to new sms and well it says cant find tnsms does any one know how to fix that or no
Summiter:
First, let me kneel, grovel, worship, etc. The new ROM is awesome!
However...
In the Softkey program that you included, you need to change the name of the file that "Calendar" accesses to just 'Calendar.exe', not 'HTCCalendar.exe'. (on the 8125, anyway).
Haven't tried the rest of the soft key functions, but that one had a little problem. Easy enough to fix:
HKCU
Software
Microsoft
Today
Key 113 (at least, on my machine, might be different...),
change the "Open" value to \windows\Calendar.exe.

Put the attached file in your \Windows folder and soft reset. Then you shoud be able to assign a soft-key to "New SMS" and it will work.

It's in test2..my bad. The radio and the softkey applet are the only things added to test2.
I don't need any thanks. I do like to see folks learning and asking productive questions though.
If you want to remove the softkey program, how do you do it? I can't delete the .cpl file from /Windows for the life of me. Thanks.
(Softkey is quite buggy... plus a lot of it's mappings are incorrect. Even if I edit the registry and change the mapping, softkey changes it back to the incorrect mapping upon soft-reset).
i might be needing this..
(anyone know how to tag a thread without bumping it?)
Hi,
New here. I have been learning a lot from everyone here, Thanks!
I seem to have a problem though.... Every Hack so far that I try to implement won't work. Here are 2 examples:
Change Reg Keys for Left Soft button. I want it to point to my Agenda Fussion Calender instead of the Windows calender. So I change the Key to point to the AF exe location, being very careful to leave "" and to type path in precisely. I save the change and soft reset the device to see if it works...NOPE....When I go back into the registry to see what happened, the registry key is changed back to point to the microsoft calender. I have even closed the reg editor and reopend to check the change before the soft reset. Before the re-set my change is still there, but not after....
I have tried both PHMRegedit and TascalRegedit.
I have a US version of the MDA with ROM version# 2.26.10.2 WWE
Next problem I wanted to stop the system tray from showing up. So I removed the shortcut for Init_Tray from the startup menu....Well the tray still shows up. Now looking in the startup menu the shortcut is no longer there, but it still launches the tray!
What Am I doing wrong here? I see people making these same hacks and they work for them.
A little background on me. I have been entrenched in computers since 1983. Doing my share of programming (though nothing since I was kid...). I have been using pocket pcs for the last 2 years. With Toshiba 740's and e800's. So I am capable of doing this stuff. But for some reason I can't get these things to work...
Any help? Sorry for being so long winded
on your registry problem.. after changing the value manually, let the phone sleep or just sit there for a few minutes before soft resetting.. There is a delay write to the registry...
Thanks ShogunMark
I need to be more patient. I did this just before I read your reply...The hack for the soft button is now working the way I want. Now to get rid of the bottom system tray.
Thanks again!!
im not sure if you can exactly get rid of the system try completely in WM5.. however i could be wrong... i think at most you can only get rid of the icons in it.. but it does prove very useful for placing shortcuts..
I think I might have seen one of these in the forums but I have searched and cannot find it anywhere.
It was a new tab for volume profile switching, to switch between normal, vibrate and silent.
Anyone able to help?
Easy way 4 me is tab on volume button and vote between normal, vibrate and silent.
But I search a little, little, little tool/app to switch in today screen (orignal Windows) between self-provided phone profils (to harmonise with TF3D & Secondtoday).
I found Apps as phoneWeaver, phoneAlarm and Spb phone suite but all Progs are to big....
Yes, I know I've seen this tab somewhere on these forums but I can't find it.
I was hoping someone would know...
I use V_Vibrate to change between sound and vibrate, mapped to a long press of the volume down button.

That's what I saw!! Thanks a lot!
It at least gives me a starting point
Did you get it to work?
Unfortunately not. I PM'd the guy about it, but he never replied
Hello guys,
Is there any way to disable the selection of clock in TF3D? It occupies a larger part of the screen so it gets accidentally clicked n opens time n alarm settings.. Just want to disable its selection..
Thanks..
only thing i can think of is to use the minamized clock...just hover over the clock and swipe down and it will show a smaller clock
Yes till now i was using the small clock only, but i really like the big one with different skins, so thought of posting here.. Isnt there any way? Any change in registry or something?
No one with a solution?
Try SSMaHo. there is option Do Nothing
Wow, Thanx..
That helped, Thanx a lot
is there a reg key to be changed, i also would like this function, but i dont want to install another app just for this...
thank you

You can do the same with sk-tools too. Somebody with SK-Tracker can take two snapshots before and after doing the tweak and compare to find the registry value responsible. Please be kind enough to post here, so others can use it on UC too.
^ that would be very helpful...
Heck yeah! I was thinking about learning how to program for WM, and somehow intercept the click message, but now I don't have to OMG, I might actually have time to do something other than fix this phone!! Nooooo!
OK, here you go. I think this is the key.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock]
"AppState"=dword:00000010
x10 = Disabled
x11 = Enabled
