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!

Thanks for this...

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 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.

How to unlock Extended_ROM?

Rom I currently heve on my Wizard is K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship. I want to change it to Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG with aWizard. I want also to change extended rom to Qtek_9100_1_6_7_ENG_Extended_ROM2, but if I'm trying to copy it to /Extended_ROM/ it warns me that it's impossible to overwrite files. I've deleted all files in /Extended_ROM/ with Total Commander, but those files are seemed to still be there since there is a question if I want to overwrite. I was trying to use Unlock Ext Rom Wizard from this forum, but when I install it to my Wizard there is being created /Extended_ROM2/, but I still can't copy new ext rom either to this folder or /Extended_Rom/. There were created in those folders strange subfolders which I can't remove. If anyone can help me I wolud be grateful.

no one knows?

Two registry keys
Forget the download and just change the following two registry keys:
HIDDEN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000001
SHOWN:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000

I just changed my registry with these settings, here some things you have to know if you do this
1) After changing the registry values, shutdown your PDA and turn it on again (soft-reset doesn't work, the values are not static yet or something, turning your PDA off and on works to keep the values).
2) Your Storage Card is renamed to "Storage Card 2", so ANY app installed on the Storage Card does NOT work anymore, you have to install/upgrade them again on the Storage Card.
ALSO you get a folder named Storage Card, but doesnt contain any files.
In your File Explorer you got the following "drives" after this registry tweak
- Device
- Storage Card
- Storage Card 2
- Extended_ROM2
Peace!

After I change the registry with your method, in the camera option can't save the picture to Storage card. Only can save in device and extended rom.

There just ain't any solution yet for the Wizard !Ricardo and Buzz are working on the problem
Cheers

Uable to UNHIDE the Extended_ROM after JJ ROM Upgrade!

I upgraded today my O2 to the latest JJ ROM (1.30.76 WWE)
Now I noticed that WITHOUT running the Extended ROM unlocker (like I need to my previous O2 ROM). I am able to access it through TotalCommander and delete and put files in there, so it's not locked.
BUT I am unable to Unhide it so it would appear visible to the system.
Here the changes I am trying to make (The did work on my previous ROM)
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\AutoLoad\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"Bootphase"=dword:00000002
"Order"=dword:00000001
"LoadFlags"=dword:00000001
"DriverPath"="Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS_G31"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="ExtendedROM"
"PartitionDriver"=""
"Name"=""
"DefaultFileSystem"="FATFS"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="SD Card"
I emphesize the fact that reading and writing to the ROM with total commander does work fine. But why can't I see it anymore in the filesystem

Have you tried running the unlocker/Unhider? I have run that under the new imate ROM, this is the one that pops up with a window to reboot TWICE. Then i soft reset via software (not reset hole) and it works.
Total commander can see ExtendedROM even if you dont unlock or unhide it. You just cant write to it i think if it is not unlocked.
You have to un-hide the partition though so it will come out as one of the options when installing programs.
May I ask why do you need to unhide it?

Hi Jorgee,
Yes I did just that I ran this 9k cab which asks you to reset the device twice. Then I used a software soft reset (xpShutdown) . still nothing.. the extendedrom is accessible and writable but still hidden.
The reason I would like to unhide it is obviously to install programs on it just like i did before the JJ rom upgrade which i did yesterday.
Thanks

Can you go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS and list the keys that begin with TrueFFS?
Next as you appear to have a registry error, could you actually list what is in your registry for the keys you have posted above, rather than simply pasting these values into the post?
Thanks

Thanks dah54,
but problem is just now solved.
This is the problem: DriverPath"="Drivers\BuiltIn\TrueFFS_G31"
Ot should be TrueFFS1 and NOT as it appears TrueFFS_G31. I think the cab sets this value incorrectly. anyway i manually made the change and now it works!

I had the same problem after upgrading to the lastest Orange ROM for M5000 I just follow your registry changes not I have Extended_ROM2 appears, when exploring files.
Is ther a way to only see Extended_ROM without 2 at the end?
Good job

Just rename this to anything you like.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\TRUEFFS_DOC1]
"MountHidden"=dword:00000000
"Folder"="ExtendedROM"
"PartitionDriver"=""
"Name"=""

I use QTEK_FILESTORE on my device.....
So when I install, i have 3 choices.
1. Device
2. QTEK_FILESTORE
3. Storage Card

Here's a CAB
Here's a CAB which makes the correct changes. I copy it to my \Extended ROM so that \Extended ROM is visible after every hard reset.

Tsk file association for Jasjar

Hi there to all i have by mistake deleted the file association for tsk file in total commander and now whenever i try to open any tsk file it says there is no associated application with this and i have checked in total commander options for setting it back is asking for four things namely icon file index number parameter and command .
Can anybody help me by providing these settings from their I -Mate Jasjar
anykind of help will be appreciated Thanx .

Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\
(Default) = tsk
EditFlags = 0x10000
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\DefaultIcon
(Default) = shellresapps.dll,-15618
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\Shell\Open\Command
(Default) = ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13
HTH

thanks for such a fast reply but i m already having all these settings in my regstry but what i want is the setting for tsk association files in total commander software which are in the properties of the file

hi there to all comeon its nearly 2 days and 39 views but no one with the settings comeon man here we all are to help each other

please help .............

You could try some software which will allow you to change file associations such as http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=2430
I havent tried it, so Im not sure if it will work.

Hi there i dont want any software i just want the default settings for .tsk and dat file associations thats it
hence they can be found with the total commander software in the properties tab of these kind of files and hence i m sure that many of us would be using that software but still it has been two days and nobody is there to help me with this simple problems .

Perhaps you could tell me how to get the information and I'll see if I can pull it off my XDA-Executive for you.
G

niketkumar: I've checked my file associations in GSFinder, and they're exactly as PReDiToR has posted above.
Now you suggest that you already have those settings, so it appears that the problem may be located elsewhere. If you've definitely got exactly the settings indicated, then you may have deleted something else related.
I suggest that you investigate the problem more carefully and come back to us with more detail. The registry settings are what causes the file to be launched with the associated control panel page, ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13
Perhaps you've deleted other settings that you've not told us about?
If those settings already exist in your registry, how can we help you further? Perhaps you should try dumping your registry, backup, hardreset, dump registry, use SSnap to compare the registry dumps, and then teach us what you know. http://s-k-tools.com/ You can then revert to your backup and fix the problem yourself. However, if you want a virgin registry dump, I'm happy to send you one.
You seem to be fairly confident that we are all incompetent, unable or unwilling to help you. I would contend that that's very much untrue. However, to quote PReDiToR's sig,
Do not meddle in the affairs of geeks for they are subtle and quick to anger

vijay 555 u surely misunderstood me i never meant the way what you thought of it is for sure that we all are here to help each other so i m very greatful to everybody who did replied to my post and let me be frank what actually i did was that in my application total commander i selected the tsk file then properties then association option there it showed an icon with x when i clicked it , it deleted its association
Hence i checked these settings in my registry they all are there but when i m trying to open that application it says " there is no application associated with it Run the app first and then open it within the application "
and if now if you dont trust me that still i m hiding something from you then you urself can download that ghisler's total commander and try it yourself to believe me .

The other setting that is needed to make a file open is the .tsk association that points it to the settings that I gave you.
Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.tsk
(Default) = tskfile
Code:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\
(Default) = tsk
EditFlags = 0x10000
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\DefaultIcon
(Default) = shellresapps.dll,-15618
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\tskfile\Shell\Open\Command
(Default) = ctlpnl.exe cplmain,13
With these two pieces of code you should be able to use the ordinary Windows File Explorer to launch a .TSK file.
If that works then your problem is mostly solved. I don't suppose the file working in TC is important if you can use WinFE to install a theme?

Thanx PReditor that settings worked .
can you do me another favour , can you also tell me both the settings for .dat file extension in your registery coz i have deleted that also .

Is it possible to fix a mismatched keyboard without recookking keybddr.dll ??

Have any of you guys figured out how to fix a keyboard layout without having to recook a rom with the proper keybddr.dll file?
I have a T-mobile Wing, and we have the problem over in the herald forum where most of the best Rom's are made for the P4350 Herald... and the main problem is the keyboard layout being different.
Since that cook doesn't have an actual TMO Wing, he is building Rom's blind when he tries to port them over to the Wing from the P4350... so I dunno if there may be any other way of fixing this issue perhaps thru the registry or some alternative method.
Thanks.

-------

It depends of what you have to change. if it is an entry in the registry, it is easy to do it manually or with a .reg file.
If you want to update a rom dll you can create a cab that will install them over the rom ones.

Merci mon pote!
So making a Cab will overwrite files that are "inaccessible". To my understanding, the keybddr.dll file is inside the Windows folder. I read some guy who deleted the keybddr.dll file for a herald in his windows folder and replaced it with the one for the Wing, and he said he Wing became completely unresponsive.
Would this problem occur if a cab file was made?
I found the file in \Windows\keybddr.dll, so could it be as simple as making a cab to delete the current one and write the new one followed by a soft reset?
Would you by any chance be able to make such a cab if I gave you the correct keybddr.dll file?

It the file is in the rom, you can not delete it, except by cooking a new rom. But I think that you can overwrite it with a cab, because I have some cab from O2 that overwrite some files of my rom.
The advantage of cab over cooking. if is easier, you can undo it, and if your system hang after installation you can do a hard reset.
I have never created a cab. I think that other people can help you better than me, or you can try by yourself. You will find tools. Probably I could help you in few months because it is something I would like to learn to do.

You dont really say what you want to change, but have you had a look at the symXXXX.txt (xxxx being four digits depending on what language you are using) file in \Windows? It contains the whole character set and configures what button corresponds to what character (each line is a button, the list of characters on each line is what you get when your press that button then symbol). It is a read only file in the rom that has to be exactly 496 bytes (at least on my Hermes) to work so my recommendation is to copy it to your computer, edit the file in notepad, then move it back to your device using Resco Explorer.
Btw, you can only change alphanumeric characters with this. If you have to move the Start Menu button you're out of luck.

The keybddr.dll file in the HERALD is different than that of the WING...
The better Rom's made that are compatible with the Wing, are actually Herald Roms, but there are some differences between the devices, and the most annoying issue is the keyboard problem... so I am trying to find a way to simply change the keybddr.dll file ... without having to actually recook the actual rom.
This is what "misha" posted in the Herald forum

I have been reading many threads at this forum about the WING issue with keyboard mapping for the ALT function symbols. It looks like several rows of key mappings are different between herald and wing.

I wonder if changing around the symbols that are miss mapped would fix the keyboard issue between wing and herald ROM……
One problem, I can not modify this file because under properties in (Total Commander) it stated that the file is Read Only and it is in ROM.
Any ideas how to modify this file?
