Shortcut to Start/Settings/System/MEMORY on Task Bar

Own the i-mate Jam...Using PHM PPC PowerToys TrayLaunch to put shortcuts on the Task Bar...noticed the Dopod 818 has the 'Memory' shortcut packaged in the original Simplified CH Rom...unable to find the file extension through the Jam's 'File Explorer' or 'explore' in Activesync...anyone knows if the extension is an .exe file and/or hidden file and where it is located?...Many ThanX!...Fantastic website!
i-mate JAM
ROM 1.12.00 WWE
Radio 1.12.10
ExtROM 1.12.131 WWE

You will have to execute the following file battery_OU_081304.sa.cab from the Dopod818_CHS_1.12.140 Ext_ROM. This will put the batery icon in the upper taskbar where normally the X button is. Also, this cab will create a memory icon in tray (bottom), which is actually a shortcut to the location you mentioned in your post. This cab just creates the file named battery.exe in \windows directory on your device. You can get the Ext_ROM at this ftp site.
Hope I helped.

Thank You SIR! Followed your instructions...works a treat!! I had spent hours looking for the file extension. You wouldn't happen to have any more valuable advice on how to add shortcuts to the Taskbar for Windows Media Player and Xetra's Bass & Treble without using third party software, would you? Thank you again for your assitance!

As Exec Man requested, posting the .cab. Enjoy!

shanghaishah: AFAIK it's not possible to add your own shortcuts to the tray without using a third party program.
To add shortcuts to any control panel setting, eg battery, bluetooth, memory blah blah, read this page:

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

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 have the same problem, I searched the intire forum but couldn´t get a solution for this problem.
I can´t change my logo neither, I also get the message "acces denied or write protect"
can someone help....

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.

You can use Total Commander to copy any .lnk file to a temporary folder, edit the name of the link to "anythingyoulike.lnk"
After that, you can use a file editor (Total commander has one) to edit the content of the .lnk to show 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,10 and save.
Move the link to the place you want it to show: tray, drop down menu or using a software to show application on Today screen.
All the best.

1. copy the string between the dotted lines (not including the lines) to your notepad
2. save it as Remove Programs.lnk
3. move the link to your ppc-- windows\Start Menu\Program Files
--------------------------------
ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,10?shellres.dll,-13943
--------------------------------
Note:
1. by doing this, you'll have a shortcut with the native icon for Remove Programs
2. try "shortcut creator" if you prefer some other icons

Thanks Guys.
Thank you wovens and iiiox, it was a combination of you both that helped me. 21#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,10?shellres.dll,-13943 is the string that worked for me. I'm happy now, although I got a basic icon and not the custom one I thought I was gonna have. Check out the pics of the 2 icons below. I must have the 'remove programs' icon next to 'file manager'. It's like addition and subtraction. I never could find the original ink file using Activesync. I just ended up editing another ink with total commander. Is there anyway to change the icon?

The part ?shellres.dll,-13943 tells it the icon to use. Most likely the one you show is actually a png image that is used by the new start menu system for icons.
You can use other programs icons as in ?\windows\myprogram.exe,23 would use the icon numbered 23 in you program called myprogram.exe
I have heard of people creating their own dll files to contain icons they want.

I'm using Energy rom so I figured it was part of it's customization. I'm not sure I understand the example you have given, but I have tried unsuccessfully to locate the wanted icon. Also, I'm clueless about creating dll. Thanks anyway RoryB. Maybe if I stare at it long enough, it will start to make sense to me.

didn't work for me plz help

How to enable SMS Wake Up Event

If you are annoyed by the fact that your Iolite does not turn on when a new sms arrives try this. Set the DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 0. You can find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL .
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000

???
Excuse me, can you explain that to me step by step? What program do i need and how can i locate those dirs and files... Tanks...

U need a registry-editor like FDC TaskManager or TotalCommander (registry-plugin - all it´s freeware)
Now you can search the entry like in Explorer
(Doubleklick on HKLM -> Drivers -> Builtin -> RIL -> DisableSMSWakeUpEvent -> then set to 0)
Greetings Mirko

Very nice )

Just used this again after a hard reset

[MOD] Extended Comm Manager Release 1.1 (with some work still to do)

Hi all
First off, I think that this may only work on a WWE ROM. If you do try it on any other ROM, please make sure you back up the two registry keys listed in point 2) of the instructions below.
I've been fiddling around with the CommManager registry entries and image files and I've managed to successfully add two additional functions to the CommManager. It's working as follows:
Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.
Phone: Working as default settings.
Bluetooth: Working as default settings.
Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.
Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.
Data Disconnection: Working as default settings.
3G: Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".
Internet Sharing: Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.
Problems/To do:
Although I can enable more functinos using:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager]SupportedFunctions dword=0x0000000a(10)
For some reason you can not select the bottom two functions in portrait mode, only in landscape.
I can enable the Vibrate option with REG_SZ=Vibrate in a number key but I can't get the Vibrate Icon to display in normal or silent modes.
I can't map the ringer row area to the manila sounds page or the HTC Volume Control function (\Windows\Volumecontrol.dll I think)
If you think you can help with these problems, please update the thread.
Instructions:
In the .zip file attached there are two registy entry files as well as four image files.
1) Close Comm Manager
2) Back up the following registry Keys and all their containing vaules: [HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager] & [HKLM\Software\OEM\UTMS]
3) Import the registry entries into your phone's registry from CommManager.reg and UTMS.reg in the .zip file attached.
4) Copy the four image files into the \Windows\ folder of your device. N.B it is not recommended to copy them directly from your computer to the windows directory, but to your storage card first.
Edit: Original registry entries for HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager uploaded.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking

You can add more buttons trhough Registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:6
Here you can extend it to 8 buttons, what fills the whole screen! After increasing the possible buttons, just add the following (example):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\6]
@="AUTD" [I](That's ActiveSync)[/I]
"Execute"="\\Windows\\repllog.exe" [I](Path to executable or any other file)[/I]
"ExecuteCommand"="//remote" [I](only needed if you want to start the application with commands)[/I]
Please note: the numbering begins with 0, so if you want 8 buttons, you need at least [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\7]!

Hi animelover
Do you know where there is a list of supported functions, such as "@=:autd""?
Thanks
andrew-in-woking

I think @= is the default string

Yes, the "@" is the Default name of any new entry!
As far as I know, you can use these posibilities with "@":
Code:
3G [I](3G switch from Auto to GSM and vice versa)[/I]
Phone
Bluetooth
WLAN
AUTD [I](ActiveSync)[/I]
Ir [I](OBEX service, I think)[/I]
DataDisconnection
FlightMode
Please note: the Default entry "@" must be a "String" value!

Here my reg file to extend comm to 8:

Update (90% Complete)
Hi all
I've been fiddling around with the registry entries and image files and I've got it to nearly the stage I want to. Check out the screen shot attached. Summary of Progress:
Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.
Phone: Working as default settings.
Bluetooth: Working as default settings.
Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.
Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.
Ringer: Switch Working fully but does not update when the volume setting is changed; toggles between current state and Vibrate or Vibrate and sound on. Row area mapped to "\Windows\Mute_sound.exe" which works. Ringer icon is only displayed when sound is on Vibrate but not on Mute or On.
3G: Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".
Internet Sharing: Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.
Problems/To do:
Have Ringer/Vibrate icon (Or other representative icons) displayed when sound is on or mute/silent.
Map Ringer/Vibrate row area to the Manila Sounds Settings Page or HTC Volume Control Function.
Enable the Vibrate Switch to change on selection.

Orignal Reg keys Required
I have applied the Reg keys without backing up my orignal and having problem with Comm manager now. I would appreciate if some one can upload the orignal Reg keys so i don't have to hard reset. Thanks.

What problem are you having?

Hi andrew-in-woking,
I was able to fix my comm manager by deleting the existing reg entries and then importing the reg keys you have provided and its working fine now Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward for the Vibration key to fully function.

Hi alesscam
I'm really sorry but I don't actually know much about ROM Kitchens. Are you looking for an .rgu file? I understand that you can rename a .reg file but you may need to edit the file. Hlopefully one of the forum ROM Cookers could help. I was thinking of making a .cab file and if I can do this that might help you.

I'm sorry, I don't know. It's working in my device. You should only need the default (unnamed) value "Bluetooth" in the relevant registry Key.
What problem are you having specifically?
Sorry

the problem is alone in the key "on-of", when tap tells me there "impossible to activate bluethoot...this however it didn't happen with the version 1.0
Can you give me the version 1.0 so control which is the difference?

Hi alesscam
I didn't edit the registry with regards to the Bluetooth Switch. They are the default registry entries.
Unfortunately I've just had to Hard Reset my device so have no registry editor loaded on there to test the device.
Before I re-load the extended Comm Manager I will export my CommManager registry key to compare them.
This will be tomorrow.
