Arrrgh! So frusterating. I just searched for info on this for a while, and I know its simple and everyone probably knows how to fix this so here it is.
When I am using the phone (connected to someone) the 10 letters with numbers on them are stuck as numbers. No way can I type the letter j for instance. Its like the blue dot shift is pressed. If i press it then the letter, I STILL get the number.
When does this suck? Say i am talking on phone and the person on the other end want to give me some info, say a shopping list. I can put it on speakerphone then hit note and type as they talk.....would be sweet for me cause i do crazy work but I cant cause i am missing 10 letters. I have to use the on screen keyboard but booo.
And I know this is a feature, probably to make it easier to dial numbers or something.
BTW i have a hermes with wm6 (non att, i think schap 4.20)
Thanks guys~~!
This has been discussed numerous times and cannot be fixed by the lay person... You have to install a rom that has the numlock on call fix already cooked in.. there are quite a few of them out there... The fix has to be cooked into the rom, as far as I know, there isn't any way to replace the system file that is necessary while the rom is in use...
Feel free to ask as many questions as you like, but you may want to take a look in the Wiki as well... It'll help you with answers to questions that you don't know you have yet...

Great... I have flashed with a couple different rom now trying to find one I like before settling on schaps 4.20. So your saying all I have to do is find another custom rom out there that includes this fix. Thank You very much. Is there a rom package out there with this that you can reccomend? If not do you know the name of this fix or what phrase they use to describe this as I couldn't really find anything about it and never noticed in the descriptions of different custom roms.
Thank You again so much, getting this "feature" fixed will be a great boon to my productivity. It is such a "sounded like a good idea at the time" thing, if they would have thought it out would have know it was bad. It doesn't even help you dial numbers when you call because it doesnt take effect until you hit send, so you have to hold in the blue button anyway. It would be really great if I took notes while on the phone that consisted of only numbers, but even phone numbers need a name.
All you wonderful chefs out there please smile upon the masses of technically proficient but not quite good enough to cook roms and start including whatever this fix is to get rid of this ultra dumb super-numlock-when-in-phonemode phenomenon.
Or do I have to do something to the custom rom I download before I flash it?

I am new to the forum and if I am wrong here thats fine just correct me. I was looking at the Essential Downloads Thread and saw several nice app's. One that I didn't see is HTC X-Button. It works like MagicButton but smaller and is factory addition. Nice and clean. You can shut it off, set up to end by tapping or by tap and hold "X" I have it and can post it up, or Email if someone wants it.
PS- I have been very impressed with everything I have seen here so far and would like to start playing more with my Wizard. I am very interested in upgrading but I think I need a little more guidance for the frist one.
Thanks, Kevin
Well,
in higher ROMs the X button app is integrated (I am not sure where it started but in my official AKU3.3 german TMO it is in there, my US TMO AKU2.2 did not have it).
If you're happy with your device and it works properly then you wouldn't really have a reason to upgrade - except you want to risk warranty void and a brick in case you do something wrong! Allthough the WIZ is still easy to flash ...
Check out the http://wiki.xda-developers.com site for more information and guides!
Please keep reading... make sure you undestand each step, if you don't read some more... if you tried really hard and can't find your answer, then post your question, and somone will help. After you think you are ready... read some more. Until you are sure you can do it. Learn how to start your phone in Bootloader. Because simple thing like that can save a bad flsh, just in case. When you finally get it unlocked and flashed your first ROM then you will know why so many people, spend so much time here. It can be addictive, like a junkie looking for that perfect HIGH, you will be constantly looking for the perfect ROM!!
Hi all you exellent hackers
Ok, I know that this question is popping up everywhere on the forum, in the diffrent device sections, but there is none who gives an answer to this, the reason for this might vary, but its still a unanswered question as far as I can find.
Im a nOOb, I know, and I am trying to find all the sollutions for my self by using google and search on the forum.
But im still hanging in the air without any sollution for this.
When we try to implement the touch dialer or the kaiser dialer in our official wm6, it do not show up right. There are some small issues with the commManagers too, but I worked that one around, atleast for the 8 button touchdialer. It has some color issues on the buttons, the left row is slighly darker then the left row..weird but no big problem, ill solve that.
But, as I said/wrote, cant get custom dialers to work.
Could any of the expert chefs provide us with a sollution to this? Is there one?
I know there is alot of roms out there that you guys have provided us with, and they are amazing (I have both qtec9100 and htc P4350,and have tried some roms) But, since I come from norway, I would like to have a custom rom with features like touch/kaiser dialer, kaiser commManager, touchflo/cube on my native language.
I have worked quite alot of hours making things work, but now im stuck.
I have changed many oem apps so they will work on my norwegian rom, changed language and edit paths so they would show up in right places, and they do
I dont want to sound like a kid who just wanna be cool and do what you guys do, im not even close to be where you guys probably where when you started cooking.
But I gotta start somewhere, and I have a hope that I can be of help with sollutions for things myself as I go along on this trip
What I have noticed is that there is many ppl who wants to take shortcuts to everything, to have everything handed out. Well, I hope im not like that.
Here in norway, there is not a big community of developers, and there is not many, if any, real good custom roms available (please corect me if im wrong) in my native language, and that in my mind is a sad thing.
I have no problem using a WWE, I have used many, and made the changes to make norwegian keyboard, both hardware and software work. (thanx to the many, many ppl who worked with providing the sollutions) But still WWE dont provide us with in.ex norwegian dictionarys for in. ofiice, it can be done by using 3party progz, but is nicer to have a norwegian (or other languages) base rom with the appz/mods/hacks working.
It would be greatly appreciated by many, many if someone could help us working this issues out.
If someone would post some reg edits to make it work?
Maybe make a cab file that makes the changes? (I would rather do it myself though)
I would easy be happy to make donations for the time used to help out, and im pretty sure many other would do the same.
AND please dont flame this thread
well, dialer solved...but not yet inn cooking, but reg edit/delete and cab install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323393
Ill figure that out in cooking

Samsung SCH-i760 ROM
**UPDATE 03/10/08**
I have found some useful tools to help me accomplish this, but still have some things left to find. Any help would be awesome, first I need a way to find what I can remove (useless files that take up space) and most importantly where I should to start to make this work. I'm pretty sure the forums will be closed later today, so if you could email if your able to assist me I would appreciate it!
What do you think?
Hey everybody, I've been browsing this forum numerous times in the past couple of weeks looking to customize my i760 and haven't found much on it for upgrading it's performance. It seems that not many users have this phone, so I'm thinking of creating a ROM for this device.
It will probably take me some time, being this will be my first time creating anything for a PPC.
I'm asking for some help for this:
a) From fellow i760 users to get some input on what might be the best items for the ROM.
b) Also from advanced users on the best way to approach this creation.
All help will be very much appreciated.
I'd like to have some contribution to this forum, seeing how my phone has been completely customized from developers on this site. Big Thanks to all of you out there whos software I am using! You all have done a great job, I appreciate your time and hard work for it.
What are your all's thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.
Any question you can email me @ jtisr241 @ aim dot com.

I had the i760. I got rid of it because of the lack or roms.
And Your are right there are no roms out there, its not because people dont have it, but its something with the way Samsung makes their roms. It's not as flexible with as the HTC devices.
Thanks for the info, I still have a ton of research to do before I look into the development, I'll keep that in mind hopefully I can find a way around it.

I'm not sure what compatibility the ROM will have, another thing I'm learning.
I would love to see a rom that does not include the d-day and all the get it now and vzw branded software there under WM6.1 with the threaded MMS of 6.1 and the Palm threaded SMS. But, that is just a pipe dream, so I will settle for just a software update.
Thank you for your effort sir.

Thanks, that's what I hear, hopefully once I figure out all the odds and ends to ROM's I can better understand how this is configured.
I second the vote for a rom that does not have the "extra" garbage including that useless picsel browser thing. An end button deactivator (comes in handy to "accidentally" hang up on the wife, but most of the time it's a pain in the ass), a built-in S2U2-like app, built-in touchscreen inteface (ifonz-like I guess). Overclocking.
Overall better memory use, power use, touchscreen use, end deactivator (tried AE, it hated my i760!!)
Update: Oh you know what I'd really like to see - one touch access to contacts, then particular category. The thing I miss most from my cell phone is pressing one button which calls up MY contact list, not the thousands of contact in Outlook. So to recap press a soft key, get the personal contacts list category.
what is the good word?
yea there's def. not a ton of support for the i760; but i've heard that there will be an update to wm6.1 for it so that should satisfy alot of us owners if its true
I hope theres a 6.1 Rom!!
I hear there is and Verizon will have it for download for the i760 on there web site when they finish there part of it.

760 for High speed Internet Bluetooth connection
Hey does anyone have any luck using the 760 as a celluar modem? I am using PDANet to open the profile and I connect without issue but I can only stay connected for a very short time usually less then one minute.
I have also been all over this site and I am looking for a ROM and there does not seem to be much of anything available for this device. Has anyone had any success with the ROM or any update that would let me use this device reliably with my laptop. I am not sure if it is Verizon or a setting on the phone but it is killing me.
Thanks for any suggestions.

I just ordered a i760 so i can help.
i say no iphone interface, its not that good i dont see why people want to copy it.
Alright, it seems there won't be an update anytime soon from Verizon, so I'll try to get something accomplished here, it seems all I do is work sometimes. Anyways, I'm still messing with apps and plugins to see what I want to build here. As soon as I can figure which I want I'll post the news.
Any suggestions on what should be included?

i760 Rom Dump
@ TheChampJT
I've been watching this thread for a bit now. At the same time I have been digging deep into my i760.
I was finally able to use itsutils (from here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/tools.html ) to run the following commands without errors:
pdocread
pmemmap
pmemdump 0x80000000 0x02000000 rom.nb
That last one gave me a 32Mb file obviously titled "rom.nb". I was feeling all uber l33t until I realized I have no clue what to do now. I am trying to decompile the file I dumped with the perl script that Willem (aka itsme) posted on his RAPI tools site. I am trying to compile the perl script in WinXP, because that's the OS I dumped the rom.nb file with. Should I boot into linux (fedora 8 or Backtrack3beta is all I got) to run the perl script? I haven't tried much of anything with it yet because I just dumped the rom.nb file late last night. However, any advice would be much appreciated.
I think my i760 is CID unlocked, because the first time I tried to run pdocread I got an error that said "Have you CID or application unlocked your device?". When I was able to run pdocread, I assumed I had somehow CID unlocked my device. But I have no way to tell for sure whether its CID unlocked or not. Its not like there's a popup window on the i760 that says "You've CID unlocked you device!!" So that's my second question, how do I know if I CID unlocked my device?
I've been hacking away at this for a solid 12days now Well, more like a month or so. I always peek into my new toy's registry as soon as I get it and make a few changes here and there to see what happens. I've run the Windows Mobile Security Configuration Tool and set my profile's security to "off". I made some changes to the reg entries under the policies entry. I've also done the whole **33284 then set to DM then reboot and set data connection to Modem Through USB, connected my i760 and installed the drivers for the Samsung modem in that mode (they are different from the MCCI drivers and modem set up). As you can probably tell, I operate on a "try a small hack, then see what happens, repeat" basis.
So that's where I'm at right now. Probably TMI for you, or anyone else reading this, but I am trying to put out as much info/knowledge as I can.
Obviously I am willing to help get a working, easy to use, cooked rom. Let me know if you want any of the files I have pulled off my device or any of the tools or dll's that I have found on the web, or any of the print outs I got from the itsutils cmd line tools.
Ta Then,

Hello All,
First off, I want to thank everyone whos cooked and added information on these forums.
Also I want to state beforehand that for the past 3 days I have gone through countless pages of threads to try and learn as much as I can on ROMs & the such.... its a lot of info! Thats not so much the problem, as I have a pretty good idea now on how to do it (though haven't decided on a custom ROM yet), but the problem is some of it so scattered you can easily have 20 tabs open and either get confused or something.
I have been unable to find (and if there is forgive me for not searching well enough), a thread, topic, or FAQ which would state where you can get programs (ie. Windows Live/Messenger, Internet Sharing, etc) that some ROMs remove. Thats really what has held me back so far from flashing a new ROM, as I really like some of these, but they might be missing certain things I would need (like messenger, or even maybe 5 fav?) but I can't find exact information on all of this.
Edit: I understand if I want to find a program I can just Google it. But what if I don't know theres this awesome program I have never tried or heard before? Can't google a program I don't know! That's why I ask if there is a thread, site that would list them all, or a good amount. I know there couple threads here and there that display default HTC ones, and maybe some odd others.
If anyone can please help me out, or direct me where I can find more info on this I would be really grateful! I might have future questions from then on but i'll definitely be searching to keep the asking to a minimum.
One other question I do have right now is the Radio version. I know theres a thread on a current version, but I see some ppl already have a version higher than that.. is there a place where you can find the current version always, and also, when u flash ROM, does that update your Radio too.. or is it seperate?
Thank you in advance all who help!
I really do hope to be part of this community.
Well I took the dive (woot!) and HARDSPL my phone succesfully. Just finished flashing the default OEM rom and upgrading to the newest radio as well without any problems thanks to all the info you guys provided.
I can't wait to get home (where I have really bad reception) and see if this truely helped me. Im in the mood now to play with all your ROMs as well (I feel like a kid at christmas).
Update: Flashed Open 7.7 and loving it. just need to get used to this brave new world..
Status:
Play and get used to this!
My only concern, and one i cannot find so far is.. at the moment i have no MyFav program.. if i call my currents fav i had will T-Mobile still know, or do i have to have the myfav program installed on my phone so i don't get my minutes charged for calling them?
New concern is i keep getting a text from "4670" saying WCI 1.1 111 every so often, is that normal when you get this program?
Another question: When I install programs, must they always be installed ON the Device, or can I install them on the Storage Card? If i do will they work fine? (or some u can, some u can't.. and some examples)?
Sorry for all the questions!
I install all my programs to storage card. haven't had any problems there. I deleted myfavs because t-mobile stores your favs on their system, so when you call a fav their system should recognize the number. the myfavs program uses memory is why I deleted it.
the text you are getting I don't know what to tell you on that.
sounds like you have the rest down pretty good
????
How did you delete the my fav program? any assistance would be helpful
after hours of browsing and finding no help i figured out a easy way to get diag mode with diag port for my pc my tab is 90% flashed im stuck at writing a regular prl every one iv tried to write i get an error saying something about the prl length is overloaded / to much for this device the prl i tried are the basic 3g prls used when flashing to Verizon pp such as 0001,2 and 3 and such; any help would be appreciated
to get into diag in this device root is not necessary all you have to do is install a app called shortcut master.apk i used the full version the lite version might work but i dont know,
once installed open it and go to app explorer scroll down till you see usb settings you will see two choices
usb settings and usbsettings
touch the 2nd one usbsettings
you will then see three choices choose the 1st one usbsettings
you will be giving three choices choose the 1st one which is launch viola magic
choose the option all the way to the bottom you you are now in diag mode and have diag ports in device manager on your pc
spc is the same as all verizon devices and 16 digit pw is the same one for samaung i920 i dont know it its integrated into cdma ws if you dont have it look it up
this device flashes like all other verizon devices with the exception of the dang prl issue where im stuck at any help on that would be nice
this is info for the know hows im sorry i dont have the time or patients teach ppl how to flash thats not why i made this thread so please dont ask me how to do this and how to do that ive helped as much as i could here
PUNCTUATION !!!
And this seems suspiciously like a question, which probably belongs in q&a.
no clue what a prl is, but about the overload/oversize portion of your thread/post,
have you tried trimming out padding [hex]
you're flashing the crap out of your device
and can obviously manage your business so,
it couldn't hurt to experiment...,
and use a comma once in a while.... and the occasional period.
:silly:
m
after thought, dd write to dec/hex address ?
1st off all i was typing from my phone with swype but i care nothing about punctuations, 2nd if you are coming on here to criticize then move around , this is in a since a help thread but mostly to help others,i haven't seen anything anywhere providing the info i have, and last but not least i don't run a bushiness i don't even flash for money i do this for fun and for fun only so i am asking you to please stay out o this thread with any negativity

My question in response to yours was about attempting modifying the file via hex editor to remove padding, and so reduce the size of the
file, and maybe achieve a successful flash since, from your jumbled mess of a post, the best i was able to decipher was that may be the
issue.
My compliment to you was to aknowledge that you are clearly skilled in managing your device. As such, I passed the suggestion
concerning the hex editor approach and alternately the dd approach to circumvent the issue, [risky yes]
Since you want to be a fathead , my insult to you is as follows;
If you lack a sense of humour, then shove your head in a blender and you may find it. :good:
If you are meaning to create a guide thread, then do so neatly and clearly. You are not as bright as you think.
You are certainly free to request the moderator to remove my post. However "Genius" my question remains.
m
well i apologize, i m no t here for grama nor does anywhere in the faqs require one to use it, i am also not here to argue with you , i am getting the point across and that is that . with that being said thanks for the compliment , i am some what a seasoned flasher but do it only for fun don't have a business here., and i know nothing about editing prls. this maybe a help tread in a since to you but it is more so to help others whom were seeking this info but didn't know where to find it
What about the trick with any cut.apk and test.prl ?
