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

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?

I'm sure i saw a thread with this on, i cant find it for the life of me though..
Can anyone assist ?
Here it is:

Thanks guys
EDIT - however, when i make the change using PHM Regedit.. it changes the label of the soft key but not the functionality.
...and after a soft reboot it changes the label back too :S
Any ideas?
just tried it, it's great!
don't do a soft reset, switch the phone off with the power button.
some reg changes only work on a re-start.
also changed right key as well
thanks for sharing

Thats correct, but you can't point that to specific exe's though. There's only a list of apps to choose from.

were you able to get that .cab file to work
for dialing I figured out to disable smart dialing and you can dial without the contacts coming up and covering the keys
The CommManager is not added in this programm, maybe someone knew another programm for it.
cab works great and is what i was looking for sorry for being newbish. Thanks alot for the cab
what today themes are you guys using with this program. Im finding that most the themes out there will load but the picture on the theme will only be small picture in the middle of the screen instead of taking up the whole screen.

you can use Resco Photo Viewer to set your today wallpaper which will fill the whole screen
or just get a free registry editor and change the DPI setting from 192 to 96.
HKCU/software/microsoft/today/dpi
then do something that will refresh display, say rotate screen or soft reset...

are you looking in the correct place? i.e. HKCU
its there on Tmobile Ameo ROM, and seems to be a standard WM5 reg setting since i got the info from an old WM5 site explaining how to get pictures bigger in the background on WM5 devices.
if your provider has removed it, try adding it
Added HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\DPI as Dword value 96 in dec (0x60 in hex)
Nothing happens

Remember to do a soft-reset after every reg edit. Use a software, or turn off device for 10 seconds and turn on again, before doing the reset
anyone else hate the default dialpad because of the small puases between each press...?
I was playing with my sisters tmobile wing and you can press one after another, there is not little half a second wait... I was wondering if anyone had or knew of such a dialpad...
even better would be one with big buttons and no wait, but ill try to get one with no wait first i use an unlocked 8525 btw.
i never dial anything... just use saved contacts!

If I use the carrier skin for my dialpad, it takes a second or two to recognise key presses, and I assume that is because it starts doing the smartdial rubbish and ries to auto-complete the number.
I therefore disable the skin as per the wiki -
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
For example, to show the default skin
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0

and the phone responds a lot quicker BUT you do lose the SmartDial feature.
Perhaps this is what your sisters phone is set to do (and I guess you can always undo it if you don't like it).
You can also try the eten dialer. I don't think it has any pauses.

Hey George,
Finally got my Tilt so I am in this forum now. WAD is locking up my device. WA3 is OK but once I start navigating through the pages in WAD, within two minutes I have to SR. Didn't want to do a clean install but may have to and let you know if the problem is still there.

Hi to you to. I don't know if this is the problem but with the meter for storage car I've found that if you pull the storage card out it will throw WAD , so i just shut off if i need to remove the storage card. Other than that a rellocatin of that meter to read something else may be needed

Im not sure what you mean but this is not a psShutXP Skin. It's part of the WAD and is a proper Shutdown, Logoff and Soft Reset with button animation
something that can't be done in psShutXP, it's only a stagnet picture where this is not.

Hi Gregory,
Is there a specific way to Cancel out of this? Sometimes I can get out of it but most times I have to turn off and turn back on. I think a Cancel option would be nice here...

Press and hold on menu then select properties, under Action should be Toggle Dock and under Control it should be Menu. If thats all as it should be, then have you put the folders as i instructed, both as they are into Themes/Desktop/ if you've put them any where else it would not work.
Let me know how you go as i really did make this as easy to put on and work as i could do

Forgive my lack of basic knowledge but how do you edit the registry on the wm phone?

nice but what does it do
What does Video Share mode do? Seems like a 4:3 video capture mode.
What I would like to see is a way to capture bigger vids with better quality, even if it meant much bigger file sizes... because i can just pull them off and encode them on pc...
Ideas?
Also whats GPS photo...

Using a similar method are we able to change to landscape in pocket word. I don't know if I have missed something but landscape word is an absolute must for me as it reduces scrolling etc.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

I'm having a small problem with the screen responses on my phone. I just went into the registry and made some changes to enable clear type in Landscape mode....and well...for some reason now....the 'ok' or 'x' tht appears on the top right hand side of the screen in landscape (right handed landscape mode) is unresponsive. It wont acknowledge any taps with the stylus or finger. I tried a soft reset and nothing. So now my phone is stuck in landscape mode...and it wont budge. Any ideas?
Sim reappear?

After that change, you off course need to reset to take effect. Once done, it would stay the way you want it.
Cheers.
I logged into the Windows live (MSN) program that comes with the phone as standard.
When logged out, i looked in my contacts phonebook and all my Windows live contacts were there! And when i took them away and logged into Windows live again, they were gone, probably for taking them away from the contacts phonebook in the phone..
Very irritating!
Now, is there some setting so i can make them not to show in the contacts phonebook?
I mean, as you can do with the SIM contacts?
