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??????

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.
Hello everybody.
Whenever I install a .cab from my miniSD card it dissapears from the miniSD card. Why is this? Is there any solution?
Thanks in advance.
Thats what WM does. It will remove the original CAB files once you have installed it. To solve this, copy a backup of the CAB file before installing.
Ot make a CAB not delete after running it. copy the file to your SD via your PC and then right click on the file and make it Read only.
Once read only the file will not be delete after being run.

Or just set the file properties to read only using TotalCommander /GSFinder etc. That way you can keep them all on your SD card in case you need to reinstall away from your PC.
bryanz, click on cabinstl.exe. check the option <Do not delete cab file>. The default is unchecked (blank). This solves ur problem
Hi blogg buster, in what folder is that file?
Thanks for all your replies.

cabinstl is a freeware program for WM2003 which lets you to choose whether to install the application to main memory or SD card, (which WM5/AS4 now does itself), and the option to keep the cab, which you can do anyway by setting the RO attribute. So IMHO it's not really needed on the Wizard.
OK, thanks a lot Ineedtoys
Ineedtoys, I think bryanz may be right but from what I gather u are running smthing which looks like cabinstaller. Check from Start>program to see whether u have cab installer. if not, then discard my suggestion. Another way is to use the FIND option from ur file explorer to find "cabinstl.exe" .
Good luck
This little cab will stop all cabs installed after it from being deleted, although it will delete after you use it. It probably is the same as putting a check mark in the cabinstl.exe program.

The only file I can find on my WM5 and 2003SE machines is a cabinstl.dll in ROM, which cannot be run directly. So if you have a "cabinstl.exe", you must have installed the freeware add-on?
Which is largely redundant in WM5 anyway, apart from letting you see or extract the contents of the cab prior to installation.

I have posted on other forums the reverse issue for some people with other WM5 devices.
Kevin Tofel and James Kendrick of MobileTechRoundup have mentioned that on their WM5 phones - Verizon 6700 and Treo 700w, that any installation .cab files that they install are not deleted after the app is installed. I wonder if the above little cab (or something like it) has been installed on some OEM devices.
Any ideas how to reverse this and have the cab deleted for those that don't have the functionality.
There's actually a registry setting that controls this. Here's a quote from a registry tweak thread on Treo Central exlaining how:
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
I trialed a 700w for a while and noticed that it would delete cabs installed from main memory but not from SD. I'm wondering if nDynamicDelete = 1 sets this behavior.
how do i stop my cabs from being deleted on the phone when i install something directly from the phone?! this is so annoying i seen there was a fix on buzzdev but i cant find

Just a wee bit of searching found this in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
Hmm... that link did not seem to answer the question.
Right, the easiest way to stop the CAB from being deleted on executing on the phone is to write-protect it. This can be done from a PC by copying the CAB file off through ActiveSync, then right-clicking, selecting properties and selecting Read Only.
Copy the file back and run it on the phone and it should remain after execution.

Geez, I could swear this is exactly what he was looking for:

If You have Resco Explorer or some, try tap and hold on that cab, than choose properties, and check "read only"
My apologies kyphur, I just couldn't see that piece in amongst all the rest of the information in that post. It's still easier to just write protect the file imho.

The big advantage to using the registry is that the behavior then becomes the default. Now you don't have to remember to make it read-only (all of the Cabs posted here aren't).
When looking at that Wiki Page, if you want to fing Reg Hacks related to Cab files just search the page for "cab" you will find all registry entries known to modify cab file behavior.
so...
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
would be
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe %1 /nodelete'
or..
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = wceload.exe %1 /nodelete

HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
remove the single quotes, basically just add ' /nodelete' (without the single quotes) to what's already there.
aalright ill try that because the one step changing 2 to 0 didnt work

You are reseting your phone and making sure the setting remains in the registry, right?
I always just wait a minute the power down the phone using the power button (which give the OS the chance to clear any cached changes).
neither one worked..
i added a new string of wceload.exe "%1" then it said details or something and i put /nodelete ...did i do it right?
You should not need to "add a string" just edit the default.
This cab file will make the change for you.
Be sure to wait a minute the shut down, power-up.
thank you, im a dumbass lol its been one hell of a day!

Why waste space (even a little) adding functionality that already exists?
Is it possible to create an exe file, that when run on the PPC (Blackstone with WM6.1), change the value of a registry entry?
Is for change the value HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Activesync\KeepAlive from 1 to 0
Thanks.
You can create a cab file for this.

RegistrySetString is perfect to change any string-value, but I want to change an integer-value (Base decimal). Help, please.
come on. show more enthusiasm and check the other websites...
if you use taskmgr:
create a reg-file "myvalue.reg":
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Activesync]
"KeepAlive"=dword:00000000
and import the reg file:
Code:
taskmgr.exe myvalue.reg
if you use morstscript:
Code:
RegWriteDWord("HKCU", "Software\Microsoft\Activesync", "KeepAlive", "0")
Here is a code i published while ago.. its in C#
you can change it to your needs :

Hey guys, I'd like to combine all my registry edits in to 1 single installable cab file. How can I do this? I have several regedits eg:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]"Hide"=dword:0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and Change - CacheSize to 4096
As you can see, they are stored in my list of tweaks in plain English.. how can I make a properly formatted list of all of them and then make a cab that will install to my PPC and change all the appropriate reg entries.
Thanks in advance!

Yes I actually am using ceregeditor. I can turn a single reg entry into a cab but I'm not sure how I can make a collection of regedits in to one cab file using that software. Could you point me in the right direction?

Just place your regedits in a text file and save it as something like filename.reg. Then open the reg file with ceregeditor and use the convert to cab option. Make sure your reg file is in the proper format (like what you get if you export the registry keys).
So:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
etc
etc

Excellent, thank you!! I will try this out tonight.
Also - is there any way I can DELETE any existing reg entries using this method?
And then I assume I can create new entries using this method also?
Thanks again.

I'm not sure about using this in a cab, but using .reg files, is possible to delete Keys(including SubKeys and Values) or just a specific Value from a Key.
Consider the following registry entry as an example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
To delete a Key create a reg file with the following:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[COLOR=seagreen][B][[COLOR=red]-[/COLOR]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen][/B][/COLOR]
To delete a Value from a Key create a reg file with the following:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[COLOR=seagreen][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen][/COLOR]
[B][COLOR=royalblue]"Hide"=[/COLOR][COLOR=red]-[/COLOR][/B]
Thanks to Mr. Makk and his tutorials thread for the Value delete (I was only aware of the Key delete from analysing RGUs)
Cheers,

Wow, thank you!!!
Is there any program that will allow multiple REG sections to all be exported to a single "file.reg" so that they can all be reloaded or converted to a CAB install file? I have multiple sections of my Registry which i would like to have in a single .REG or .CAB file but when i export each part of the REG separately then cut n paste to combine then it does not seem to re-install in to my register after a clean ROM boot.
Any ideas?
LOL!
Use WinCe Cab Manager.
Make New Cab, and then import all your reg's into single cab.
If you want to export all regs, just use export function.
If you want edit your entries, you can edit their right there.

Yeah, use wince cab manager! Just add a key to the registry or use file, import reg!
When you want to save the cab you'll get a message that you don't added any files, thats oke because a key or a value isn't a file!
