Problem with keypad - Touch CDMA General

I'm about to go to work so i cant answer any questions till i come back.
So i will try to describe it best i can.
I lost my htc keypad(Phone Dialer) after i installed and removed Quik Menu.
It gave me a wm5 keypad.I dont see any installers for this keypad.I found the files for the htc keypad but i dont know how to make it work.
I installed one of the cabs from this forum to give me the original pad.
But after a few days the wm5 keypad comes back.I have done this 4 times and no matter what it comes back.
Does anyone know where the wm5 keypad sits so i can remove it completely?
And how do i get the stock pad back?

VJBigPhone, T-Mobile Videobutton on MDAPro

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee
Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)

I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff
V
out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee
TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

MDA Compact II - Format.

Im new to all this WM5 stuff so sorry in advanced.
Basically i got my new MDA Compact II today (branded T-Mobile of course!) and since I'm using it with Vodafone i started to mess around (yes I'm silly!)
Basically i changed the dial pad theme/skin... decided i don't like it and have been searching around this forum for the last few hours trying to find the original WM5 dial pad theme/skin that came with my device.
I managed to get it to look like the WM5 pad with a few files on this forum but the numbers are out of line with the skin... so the number 1 will be just to the right of the first button.
It still works but doesn't look very pleasing.
If anyone could help?
I was going to format it back to the original but when i turn it off and back on its just the same, and when i press the pin hole button at the bottom of my device to reset it, its the same when it starts up.
I have my original T-Mobile CD with a label "Windows Mobile 5.0 PPC Phone Edition GSM w/Outlk 2002" but i cant seem to find out how to do a fresh install of the WM5 on my device.
if it works the same like with a magician, u should hard reset the device, then when it say's it will start installing extra software, just soft-reset the device before this starts.
then when u start up the device again, u should have a clean WM5 on your device, without all the t-mobile-crap. Then u can install everything you need to get your Vodafone-card working properly, like gprs-settings and mms-settings, then run a program which is placed in the ext_rom to hide the extended rom if u please, the program is called delete_vdisk_shortcut.cab or something like it.
good luck
Being new to the world of PDAin i thought pressing the pin-hole reset button did a hard reset and cleared everything... which didnt seem to be the case.
After a little playing around while bored on the train to work i found something called "Clear Storage" in the settings which did the trick, altho using clear storage on the way to work left me with non of my contact numbers all day which wasnt great :roll:
Cheers for the help.

a few questions about WM6 needing asking

Hi all, i recently flashed my spv M3100 to wm6 (now on t-mobile uk) instead of orange and it's still showing the orange disply on bootup i've googled on how to remove that and have the default htc showing but banging my head on the keyboard, as i've changed the shell for the phone and that's the only thing what's left to get removed
1) in wm6 how do you get the click when you touch the start menu like it used to make in wm5?
2) under wm5 in messenger when i used to get a message or somebody used to come online it used to pop up a box like the sms does, but in wm6 all it does it pop up the little msn man at the top of the screen and vibrate the phone is there a way to get the box pop up (if i havent got the today screen open i miss what somebody says or havent a clue who's just logged in)
3) how do i do video calling in wm6 as there used to be a video call button above call but in the dialer in wm6 it aint there
4) is there anyway of stopping the phone going into lock mode when you connect it to the pc as active-sync 4.5 keeps telling me the phone is locked,when i unlock it by entering my passcode it reboots active sync then the phones locked again :-(
beisdes them questions wm6 is lovely
spl 2.10
radio 1.41
wm6
supercid unlocked
Hi, there are answers to all your questions already posted in the site. On the brown bar at the top of the site is a search function. Give that a try and you should find everything you need.
Good luck!
Couple of answers
You could google using XDA in the search, for example "XDA change splash screen Hermes", I guarantee you'll find an answer to that one mate
Q # 1, Go to Settings, Phone, then select Short Tones from the Keypad drop down.
As for #3, go in to TweaksUI under settings, and you'll find a check box for Enable Video Call in the Phone tab.
And for #4 there ought to be a check box on your password screen in Active Sync to Remember password....??
Good luck,
Thx for the advice
removed the op logo proper, and got the video calling back but still cant get the click just on the start menu, but i can live with it like that, now to fill this 4gig mem card now also when i inserted the phone into the usb a couple of time's active sync comes up with do you want to unlock the phone when it's insterted to the pc (or something like that) so i clicked on yes and it's ok now, on wm5 it used to ask for a password on the pc, but in wm6 it locks the phone device :-( just had to get used to that
Found 'em - menu click sounds!!!
Knew I'd seen them somewhere - they're >HERE<!!!!
If you download and install the WM5 CAB file, that'll give you the clicks (which seem to annoy most people ) when you tap on stuff in WM6
Enjoy!
Mark.
Thx Mark for the link, got me phone working 100% now, if your ever in Manchester, I'll buy you a pint for that m8, been looking for this for omg from when i upgraded to wm6, thx bud

Please help me to Fix Hardware Keyboard keys A,S,D,F...

Hi Communiteee...
I have just started tweaking my TP2 and for some reason the above mentioned keys die on me...
I initially thought it was the "Classic Word Completion" cab but I do not have this installed and this AM it died again
If I hard reset with the internal storage it does not fix the problem BUT when HR with the Hardware keys it Does
Is there a way to check in the registry if these are still mapped correctly please.
The path would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

If you loaded on a new rom then you probably have to find and install the keyboard fix for whatever version of your phone you have. Look in the thread you downloaded the rom from and you'll likely find it in there.
That said.. if you havnt installed a rom and your keys randomly stopped working I would still try a keyboard fix. You can do a search in the rom subforum for them.
Good luck

Thank you Aaron,
I have only loaded the stock 6.5 ROM upgrade - will try to re-flash that and if that does not work I will try the Keyboard Editor I found on the Must have Apps Thread...
Will let ya know If I could get this resolved...
I am in the US and use AT&T. I have to install a cab every time I install a ROM or my keys are all screwed up. Maybe that is your issue. Good luck.

Hi There kimtyson,
Please advise which .cab that would be which you have to use?
I reflashed the Stock ROM and the keys worked for a while and then they decide to stop I have no idea why - I downloaded Energy ROM last night - will flash that at work and see if this resolves my problem...
HTC have replaced my Hardware Keyboard so it has to be something to do with the software
Thnx!
Bad Boi,
You mentioned your keyboard was replaced by htc already. I would send it back. If a hard reset doesnt fix the prob then I would say its a hardware prob. Maybe I missunderstood you but a hard reset puts the registry back to stock. You may have a bad flash and need to try to reflash the upgrade. Also, every cab or reg edits I did to get back the good old predictive text/word completion, it would always mess up my soft keyboard not the hard one. I have found that if you install HDTweak and enable the T9 option it will give you the predictive text back. You can even adjust how many words it suggests. Dont forget to turn off xt9 on your device. It works like a charm. If you need a good keyboard remapper I use Tarkim keyboard controller. I have to do almost my entire keyboard cause there isnt a 100 % fix for the Tilt 2. Here are links for the programs I mentioned. I hope this helps.

Thank you thebigrhinoone,
I have reflased stock upgraded ROM and the problem still pops up now and then - with or without tweaks added...
I have the Clasic Word Completion from PPC Geeks (Similar to Vogue Stock) for my TP2 and that works without any problems and no remapping required...
For the time being the ASDF is working - I will Flash the new ROM if the keys lock up again just to make sure if its hardware or not...
FYI
The way I get the predictive text working doesnt require any key mapping. The key remapper was for you to reassign the keys that arent working to see if that solves the problem. Sorry if I wasnt clear about that. If your problem persists try using the hd tweak method to see if that takes care of it. There are a lot off options in that program that you might like as well to tweak your phone. Take care and good luck.

[Q] Use send button to answer phone!

Hi,
Does anyone know how to answer the HTC HD2 phone using the send key rather than just using the slider. since upgrading to the latest ROM on HTC site it does not answer the call anymore using the send key.
I have looked for an answer to no avail.
Anyone know how?
RM
i dont think this is an option that can be turned on and off !!!!
i`ve flashed my phone so many times with official, cooked winmo & couple of android builds
the send key always works, never had a problem with it

The only thing that could possibly have any control over the send button answering phone calls is a registry key. I am not sure if there is a registry key for this or not but it is the only thing that could control the send button being used to answer phone calls. With that said my advice to you is to try doing a hard reset of your HD2. I say this for two reasons, one this will revert any unwanted changes to your registry. Two you said this problem started after flashing the latest official ROM from HTC. Anytime you flash a ROM official or custom it is recomended to do a hard reset after flashing as this will fix any little issue that might arise from something not getting set properly.
Thanks for your replies, i have no idea why this still does not work after me applying hte suggestions. It must be software, the button phsically works with other apps but just not to answer the phone.
Might be something that is loaded on the phone....?
I will keep looking as this is not a nice thing to have to live with.
