Phone skin settings in registry

In my Vario i had the ugly T-Mobile skin in the phone app. I've found the registry entry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin, with the keys for defining whole skin.
If Enable is changed to 0, after the reset is skin ignored and phone looks as the keypad for PIN enter. The bad thing is that smartdialing doesn't work.
So i tried another way. My friend has qtek 9100. In the registry he have no keys for defining skin, cust Enable entry with value 1 and dll path.
So i changed my registry in this way, but it didn't work. Skin entries are back an i can no more change Enable value to 1.
Does anyone know how to remove phone skin with smardialing working?

I have been looking at this - I tried renaming the subkeys (DIALER and PROGRESS) and that mostly de-skinned it (had to soft reset after changing them before it took effect). The smart dialing still worked (enable was still set to 1). The smartdialer graphics were not deskinned though.
However, changing it seemed to conincide with problems I had with my GPRS settings going dodgy, and on changing back GPRS seems fine. That could just be a conincidence though.
I have found that all the skin graphics are in graphices files in the windows directory. Some of them are the ones mentioned in the registry here, and some of them are called indialer_*. These indialer_ graphics are the ones that were not deskinned by renaming the DIALER and PROGRESS keys.
There is also carrierlogo.gif that is used in the background.
I recon that renaming the keys, and getting the indialer_ graphics from a non-skinned ROM should do the trick. But I am not sure if my GPRS problems were related or not.
Not had a chance (or another ROM) to play further though.

I've tried to rename DIALER and PROGRESS keys, but noeffect. After reset, the are back the same.
I know that indialer* is skin for smardialer. Smartdialer is sometimes called interdialer..

Finally, I've made it. Skin is nice blue with working smartdialing.. New know-how about registries.

The Skin!!!
Hey can u post a screen shot of the skin you are using and if possible how to change the ugly T-mobile skin!, i just got my Vario a few days ago and havn't found how to change the skin.
Thanks

REQ: Dialer which I can use with Fingers?

I am looking for a Dialer for Windows Mobile 5 that lets me dial contacts without the use of a stylus or without having to use the pushbuttons - just the touchscreen.
Basically I am looking for something like this - but in either english or german.

Thanks will give it a try!

You should use Smart dialing.It's default in wizard.

What's the difference between Smart Dialer and the one from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326
I have a Wizard, but I dont know SmartDialing...screenshot anybody?

AFAIK smartdialing is just an add on to the original phone app that lists contacts that match the nubers you have diald already. It doesent make it any easier to acctually dial the numbers. I dont use smart dialer at all, it was just in my way most of the time. So last time I did a hard reset I then followed with a soft reset at the "your device will be customized in 3 seconds" screen and then installed all the CAB's I did want manually.

I have tried almost all types of smartdialing from default one to third-party software and i strongly recommend you to use the followings:
- Imagine Finger Clix WM5 (English version)
- Inesoft Address Book
They are not free but the biggest advantages of these software are that they both allow seaching contacts with two clicks thanks to wise T9 system and they are super fast with beatiful skin
Give them a try and you would never disappoint, especially inesoft address book (don't forget to accept assigning inesoft to hot key when setup)

When you use smartdailing, just type in the name from the person you want to call and smartdailer looks it up in your contacts. This works like T9, for example push the numbers 665754 (or less when it allready in your screen) to call Molski. With this tool you don't have to know the whole phonenumber and you don't have to go to your contacts for calling.
I hope it is al little bit clear how Smartdailing works.....and I don't want working with out it any more!!

Is there a basic large PHONE pad available ?

Just wondering if there is a very basic phone pad skin available for the M3100...
Just a single line for the number, maybe 2 if the number is too long so the digits don't get too small...
Large buttons for numbers, no video buttons etc just numbers, no need for the TALK/END sort of stuff as the hardware green/red buttons work fine..
Just looking for something that people with wide fingers can use without a stylus....
If there isn't one, what do I need to do to create one ??
Searched the forum but can't really find anything of use on the subject.
Many thanks Phil

I found that the vista theme on Paulya.com worked wonders for this:
http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm
http://www.paulya.com/Projects/Eten_Skins/Vista/Vista_Trans/Vista_Trans_Origin.zip
I am tempted to go back to this dialer as it was so good on my Wizard - just lacks a video button.

Hi, Thanks for that.... Managed to get the skin to work that is included with the eten dialer... I also downloaded the eten_ans etc .zip and put it in the windows dir on the phone after extracting it.. can't seem to find how to enable it (am I thick or something... Don't answer that !!)
The only thing I didn't do was use active sync... I copied the extracted file to my memory card then copied them over from that as the PC I'm at, at the moment doesn't run activesync 4 or higher (horrible win98 se machine..
Any comments much appreciated
Phil

I jast ran the cab file from my storage card and it installed perfectly. I did have diffulculty installing additional skins though.

Hi Phil,
There is a CAB on the FTP here which gives you the phonepad software EXACTLY like in older HTC phones: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/Phone Pad - English Only.CAB
I installed it and it's great!

Hi sorry to be thick
ok i downloaded the buzzdev.net qvga dialer
but how does one install it. Do i just run the cab via activesync or run it on the vario2 or what sorry about the stupid questions
also i download the splash screen stuff from there too how do i make that appear instead of the default tmobile one when starting up
thanks
JEREMY

Just stick it onto your device, tap it to load it, install and then when prompted reboot (just hit OK and it'll do it) - the PIN entry screen remains the same, but the main dialer screen changes.
It looks very nice, and I'd use it all the time - except there's no way to use the T9 dialing feature which the regular dialer offers (where you can just type the name of the person you wish to call and it shows all valid entries from the list, so e.g. if I wanted to call my Mum - whose entry is Mum, ironically - I'd type 6-8-6 and then hit Dial). It's quite sad to see that this feature is missing, probably for a good reason as it does cause a fair bit of slowdown on my phone - more than on my old Alpine! - but I still use it all the time and I'm going to have to uninstall the skin because I really neeeeeeeeed that feature. :/

ok if I wanted to get the original tmobile dialer back then all I would have to do is uninstall it then? cool
how would I install the splash screen then?

Vijay55,
I installed it OK, the large buttons are awesome, however I have had the following problems:
1) DTMF (Tones) don't work properley when accessing voice mail etc (UK T-mobile) or any other press x application
2) Jog Dialer not active
3) No Smart dialling
Am I doing anything wrong?
Have had to pull it off becasue of the DTMF problem, I've installed it, removed it, rebooted, changed the options etc, nothing seems to fix it.

Fixed it!!
Though I am now using the Eten dialler with smart dial support and one of Paulya's Dark Blue Glass skins.
Editing the registry and setting the value to 0, then soft reboot and dtmf tones are working.
Setting it to 0 wasn't the obvious choice, and previously I hadn't soft rebooted.
Found the following from dhushy in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700
Worked it out. For anyone with a similar problem, use the registry editor to locate the following key:
HKLM,"Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL","EnableDTMFSupport",0x0 0010001,1
Change the value from 1 to a 0 and Bob's yer Uncle (for non-British readers that means everything will be cushty - see Only Fools and Horses for a contextual translation)
Did this and I was able to manipulate my voicemail messages as normal.

OpMon - Script to change operator name

I whipped up a little MortScript package with installer to let you easily set a custom operator name and the interval in which the script will check to make sure your operator name is set. It's a two-part MortScript, opmon is the config GUI and opset is the background process which will run on first load and at system startup to ensure your custom name "sticks".
Installation & Usage
1. Download the zip file below and extract the CAB installer.
2. Run the CAB on your device to install.
3. Launch the config GUI by going to Start -> Programs -> OpMon.
4. Set your name and delay, then exit to apply the changes.
This has only been tested on my Mogul, but there is nothing device specific in the script, so it should work on almost any phone.
As always, suggestions are welcome and I hope you like it!

Very neat program works on my XV6700 WM5 AKU 3.5

What did you guys use to customize your Today plug-in? HTC Home Plugin Customizer v0.8b??

Reverts to default
I'm using this on my vario II and no matter what i set my delay to it changes back from custom to default after i've used an app or even change to a different tab on htc home.
Is there a fix?

Don't know why that's happening. Do you have a task manager? If you do could you check to see if opset.exe is running in the background?
It's also possible that your delay is set too high. If something changes your custom name back to default, it will stay like that until the opset program checks at the specified interval.

this thing rocks...WOOT

Love the program.....but.......
I have the delay set to 90 seconds yet it seems to take up to 5 minutes for it to change from default (UMTS 3) to my setting. AS it changes back every time the screen goes to sleep it is a bit of a pain.
Am I doing anything wrong?

The same problem also occurs when I edit this register file:
HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name
Has someone a solution/fix. Thanks in advance!

I reinstalled it to device and that seemed to fix iy for me

Wow
Good work

Hi all,
I'm a total noob that needs a little help.
I'm excited to find and try this file on my new HTC touch.
Can you tell me how I install after I unzip the file?
Thanks in advance, --Ray.

Undo the name change
How does one undo the name change? through registry only?

I haven't tried, but you could always uninstall the program.

Which is..some kind a problem for me. I've been trying to uninstall OpMon, but had some funny problems. The lowdown:
1. Install in Device, works but opr. name keeps reverting back.
2. Decide to uninstall from Remove Programs, but says that it cannot be removed.
and "emunutz OpMon" remains on the remove programs list and on device.
3. Tried uninstalling with MemMaid, mentions that there is an error but I force uninstalled. Files & regs are gone (I think..) but OpMon still remain on the list!
Help?
ps. I've had this problem once with the HTC Diamond Keyboard circling around. Except that one didn't uninstall at all no matter what I try and had to HR.

Doesn't seem to work on Verizon. I have the settings confirmed and it still says Verizon Wireless.

great program been looking for it for sometime thanx

Hello,
Is there a way to keep the changes after turning off the device (HD) and even after SR?
Thanks!

default IM on WM6

Ok, I'm having a little problem with my default sip, on a newly installed WM6 rom on my MIO A701 (found here).
I can only use a HTC phone pad, which is available somewhere on the net ^^ It's the only one that has a good cellphone-esque layout AND all portuguese symbols.
I'm having a lot of trouble setting the Phone Pad as a default On WM5, I used IMSelector or SipChange and it would end up working fine. Right now, SipChange isn't doing anything, and IMSelector is on the same boat (the only version I found was the WM5 one). Right now, I can't even use Phone Pad, because every time I try to change the keyboard it automatically switches back to the default windows one. Although I did get to use phone pad right after I installed it, so it does work on WM6.
So, is there any other way of changing the default keyboard on WM6? I really need this keyboard working, and didn't really want to switch back to WM5
Thank you.

Try SKtools, there one function to switch in the start of the system to your favorite keyboard!

edit the link in autostart folder and rise the timeout value (if you use sk tools). in sipchange you can set the timeout directly in the programm. i had the same problem on wm6 setting phonepad as default.

Thank you, that did the trick
