First off was wondering if anyone knows of an app or if hex eds would work to edit .dsm file, reason is because i found the folder (have yet see registry) for changing "video call" in the phone dial pad, by swaping out some file from the /SYS/Phone--- directory... did this with US ROM SYS/Phone --- into HK ROM
I want to replace "Video Call" with "Call" (voice) instead.
hi
Yes that's the same thing im trying to do but first i need which programs to edit and which files seeing how i narrowed it now, and now this morning i learned i can use a hex editor to edit the .dsm file to try to port it too "Voice Call/Hang Up" bottom.
If anyone want to try it also check out;

It gives you an insight to what dsm file's are for some people who want to know. Ill post when i find something or when i get it to work >.>
Here you go...
Not a soft key re-map, but this cab can slightly change the dialer skin to an older version giving you the contacts soft key.

I have found the performance of this dialer skin to be not as polished the stock diamond dialer skin.
Still haven't figured it out? Still got my bloat HTC dialpad here that takes forever to load and with the damn "Video Call" soft-key...

hi
im making a cool phone skin for my jasjar...
the only thing is that ive mapped and replaced all the pictures (tabs or buttons whatever you wanna call it ) but cant seem to find and replace the voice call button..
when you hard reset youll notice that the dialer has a different skin than the one if you allow ext rom cabs ( the VTxxx.cab) to be installed..
there is something in that cab that not only signs on the intelli dialer but also adds the voice call button and the native dialer pad skin (note here ..that the colored button skin of the dialer pad is ALREADY present in the rom by default) but these are activated only after the installation of VTxxx.cab from ext rom
i was wondering
1) does any one know how to find /replace the voice call button
2)how can i enable intellidialer without the vtxx.cab ... through reg settings???
thanks
does anyone have any idea of getting the intellidialer to work without the cab from ext rom????
thanks
hi,
I'm working on the same problem. I haven't found out how to get rid of the video button though.
The blue skin at the beginning (when you input your pin) is the default phone skin from wm5. The one you see after the VT Plugin CAB is installed is the custom skin. The VT Plugin CAB seems to mostly just set those Registry Keys. Here is also where the Intellipad extension is activated.
You can activate or deactivate custom skins in the registry HKLM/Security/Phone
Just install the VT Plugin CAB from ExtendedRom and check out those Registry Keys that are set.
I was able to replace all buttons except the video button. All except the video button are in the ROM from the beginning. I decoded and dumped the ROM and deleted the carrierlogo.gif and replaced the buttons (most buttons could probably be remapped in the registry settings above also). Now when the VT Plugin CAB from T-Mobile is installed I have a new skin except for the video button (it's still the pink button from T-Mobile). If I find something out I'll let you know.
I'm assuming the video button is hard-coded in one of the phcan*.dll files. I will replace my t-mobile phcan*.dll files with the files from the qtek ROM and see if there's a difference.
BTW: how does your "cool phone skin" look?
ok, I can confirm that the video call button for intelli pad is hard-coded in the phcan*.dlls. I have now replaced the t-mobile dlls with those in the qtek rom and now I have the qtek (green) video button.
I also found that the transparency color settings must be in those dlls also. I had edited the qtek buttons after noticing that those pink corners were being shown when the t-mobile phcan dlls were there. Now with the qtek dlls the video button has proper transparency, but the edited buttons didn't. So if you use the dlls from qtek you will have to use the same pink color as a transparency color if you want the buttons to show properly.
Now I just need to find out how to edit the Today plugin from t-mobile (the t-mobile icon). When that's accomplished then I will have accomplished complete "unbranding" of my MDA Pro ;-)
hi
how could one edit the phcan**.dll... i tried opening it with resedit but that didnt work..

You like Motorola don´t you
Edit the T-Mobile Today Plug in
Try this url. It is in German but you can get the message.
http://maisfeld.de/mda/index.php?action=artikel&cat=4&id=71&artlang=de tit works i tried it substituted the tzones bmp for a normal IE one.
change this reg setting and you can rename the T-Mobile plug in as well.
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Today/Items/"t-mobile"
use a reg editor to rename the "tmobile" to anything you want

I used Soft Key to change the shortcut @ the bottom of my screen i only wanted to change Calendar to New SMS, But when i started the Program it made me change both soft keys & Contacts is not in the list. Now i have New SMS & anything but Contacts.
Any body else had this problem? or does anyone have a fix for this????
Funny enough even if i navigate :
Start
Settings
Menus
Contacts is not in that list either.......Weird......
I have attached screen shots to help.
Thanks....
Learn to use the registry. The keys you are looking for are in:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys
Key 112 is your left soft key, and key 113 is your right soft key. You just rename the, "Default" value to what you want to appear on the screen, and the, "Open" value to what you want to launch (the Contacts.lnk is in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder I believe).
Oh, and get Schaps Registry Editor before any of that. ; )

Thanks for the info you have given but im afraid it don't help cause the contacts.ink or even contacts.exe is nowhere to be found on my device not even in the windows folder....
I have attached a screen shot for you to see.
Thanks again.
And by the way i use PHM Registry Editor.....
Do you already have "Contacts" in your start menu? On my phone, I have Contacts in my start menu, and it is no longer in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs but it is listed in Windows/Start Menu. I think it moves the .lnk over when it's active in the start menu. Just a thought.
I mean, it has to be on the phone somewhere. Although I can't seem to locate it in Windows either...kind of makes me wonder where the phone is pulling it from when I select it...hmm...
No it's not in my start menu, proof is in 1 of the attachments in my1st post.
Last nite i installed PocketCM and used soft key to choose the shortcut to it.
Now i have what i originally wanted
Left Shortcut:......New SMS
Right Shortcut:....Contacts (through PocketCM)
Sorted.........
Screen Shot Attached
Yeah, I use iContact v0.6. I'd love to use PocketCM if it didn't try and do so much more than just contacts. It's refusal to stop trying to handle SMS is what makes me stay away from it.
Not to sure what you mean about PocketCM taking over SMS just switch it off in options if you dont like it.....
I use PocketCM V0.23 together with TouchPal 3.0 and the SMS option works well for me if anything better than the original cause it shows the whole conversation and it makes it easier for you to remember what you texting about he he he....
Try it.....
I've got a similar problem:
My right softkey was Calendar, some time ago it said "shortcut not found".
I set it again using Schap's Advanced Config, but it kept disappearing 2 or 3 times.
Now, the links for Calendar and Contacts have disappeared in the Start Menu!
I was able to copy the calendar.lnk from the \Windows directory, but there is no contacts.exe.
I do not use PocketCM, so that's not the root cause...
Try installing PocketCM and use that for a while to see it that shortcut dissapears aswell.....
Sounds like we have all got gremlins in our Hermes!!!!!!!! he he he
Here is the link:

Hope im allowed to post that......
I used WinCe Cab Manager to edit a Blue Frog dialpad cab. I tried to replace the dialpad images with some of my own. When I run the cab on my device (sprint Mogul) I get a blank white dialpad. I'm confused cause every attribute is the same when comparing the two. Anyone know why this is not working, and/or how to fix it? When I use "file explorer" to manually replace the files in the "Phoneskins" folder, after a soft reset. The Dialpad is skinned. But I wanna be able to launch a cab and replace all the files in one swoop...
I've added registry additions in the cab to hide system numbers and text on buttons. They all seem to work.
Hello all,
you know that when you tap the button 'call history' in today screen you get back to windows mobile - which is not so finger friendly and not so good lookin either.
My question is this:
Where can i edit the action of that 'call history' button? i wish it to open a different application.
i tryed ssmapa but it cant do it.
i think i need to edit a registry key or a manila file somewhere but i just dont know which one.
oh, i know there is a tweak putting a call history tab - I don like it and i dont need any more tabs.
thank you.
I too would like to know. When I installed Icontact, and the black dialer, my phone goes into Icontact from Phone->contacts in the black dialer, but i would like it to go to Icontacts from call history on the today screen, that would be nice
The author of SSMaPa claims that the call history is too much integrated in the whole system and so it shouldn't be changed. On the other hand - there should be a way.
i think it should be a way. as it knows to open a ccertain app for call history, it can open another
as i said, i think it is a registry key or a manila file
please help
yes i am looking for this information too
anybody?
I happened to find a glitch while using shakeandsave. When you select one of the buttons and save the picture, it actually reverses the highlighting. Downfall is as soon as you use them again it goes back. So i wondered if maybe someone knows of a registry edit or possibly a cab that could swap this so the softkey buttons are always highlighted. Without using TTM or another theme maker. Just a thought...
