How can i complete disable the vodafone dial skin?

Hello all,
how can i complete disable the vodafone dialskin from the VPA compact II? I have already disablethe skin in the registry (HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=0). That would be ok, but the speed dial keys are always black from the vodafone skin. I know that the skin would be installed from "Customize_Voda_DE.CAB" but without this cab you dont have a MMS account. Any help woulb be appreciated.
Thanks Yoshi

What is in that T-Mobile ROM?

The Hermes wiki lists all the file contents of all extended roms of the hermes variants, but there is no explanation of what these things are.
I have a Vario II with a T-Mob ROM and _depetrately_ want to get rid of their "interesting" pink theme.
So I hard reset the handset, soft reset it just before it auto launches t-mobile customisation and then make the extended rom visible.
Problem though, is that after that I dont know what is what in the extended rom: I want to avoid everything pink, but at the same time still apply patches, etc...
SO: here is a list of all T-Mob ext rom files, and if anyone knows for sure what they do/are, please post here. It may even be worth updateing the wiki with the results.
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MP-Hermes-Camera-patch-060613.CAB *** CAMERA PATCH
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_Account-MMS.CAB *** MMS CLIENT?
CAB: \Extended_ROM\MT_PC_Hermes_TMO_REG_060612.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_HER_TMUK-UXC_12JUN06.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\PP_pIESetting_TMUK_050906.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\ST_Her_BT_FIR_Param612.CAB
CAB: \Extended_ROM\P_rilgsm_patch.CAB *** GSM PATCH
CAB: \Extended_ROM\Patch_RTPlugInEx2.CAB

I can't help you with what bits are what in the extended Rom but thought I would mention that you can change the theme even without having to change the Rom.
All you need to do is go into the 'Start Menu', 'Settings', then click on the 'Today' button. In there you will see a list of themes, just select the 'Windows Default' , click 'ok' and the pink will be gone You can download lots of free themes off the internet as well if you want to customise your phone further.
Not sure if this helps but hope it does.

thanks Nicky , but I was actually after more than that (i am currently running Vistabliss theme).
what i was trying to do is remove ALL operator changes: e.g. program groups, ie favourites, certain installed apps (i am allergic to the mms client... dont ask why... i dont know myself...).
what i want to do is start with a wm5 in its most patched and up to date state, withoutt anything the operator thinks i should use or look at, and then add the 4 or 5 apps that really matter to me.
the best way to do that is by differentiating what is in that extended rom (e.g. a standard Hermes, with no patches of any kind cannot do any video calling...), and separating operator marketing material from functional applications.

Oh, okay ... I thought from your post that you sounded like you were fairly technical so I suspected that you probably already knew about the various standard settings options available but thought I would mention them anyway just in case you didn't
I haven't quite ventured into the area of Roms, extended Roms and registry editing yet but I am gradually building up to it

Dialer Problem

I've installed the zombienexus WM6 Dialpad but on the pads there are no numbers or signs, just blank pads.
Maybe someone had the same problem.
Installed:
Lalles WM 6.1
JUVS HTC Home
emunutz HTC Home Customizer 2.1
Thx
Pat

After hours of searching I've found a solution....
This registry entry must be changed from 1 to 0.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\phone\skin\Enabled=0

What dialer is this?

Can anyone tell me what dialer this is and where to get a cab?
Thanks

Looks like standard Windows Mobile 6.5.X dialer

Cheers Sascha. I thought it might be, but I can't find a cab for it. I have the X2 dialer at the mo (cooked in the ROM) but I want to replace it as it can't do touch tones.
Anyone any idea where I might get a cab, or do I just have to remove the X2 dialer? In which case, how?

That's the default unskinned dialer. In my device all you need to do is change a registry value (go here for more).
This should have been posted in QnA...

Thanks that worked great!

I believe we can make the files transpar and then install them in windows file with total commander. Like this

Try to use this cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=246740&d=1258239820
It's taken from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
Has been made for LEO but as it is about WM-files there shouldn't be a problem and it is uninstallable.
