Is there a basic large PHONE pad available ?

Just wondering if there is a very basic phone pad skin available for the M3100...
Just a single line for the number, maybe 2 if the number is too long so the digits don't get too small...
Large buttons for numbers, no video buttons etc just numbers, no need for the TALK/END sort of stuff as the hardware green/red buttons work fine..
Just looking for something that people with wide fingers can use without a stylus....
If there isn't one, what do I need to do to create one ??
Searched the forum but can't really find anything of use on the subject.
Many thanks Phil

I found that the vista theme on Paulya.com worked wonders for this:
http://www.paulya.com/etenskins.htm
http://www.paulya.com/Projects/Eten_Skins/Vista/Vista_Trans/Vista_Trans_Origin.zip
I am tempted to go back to this dialer as it was so good on my Wizard - just lacks a video button.

Hi, Thanks for that.... Managed to get the skin to work that is included with the eten dialer... I also downloaded the eten_ans etc .zip and put it in the windows dir on the phone after extracting it.. can't seem to find how to enable it (am I thick or something... Don't answer that !!)
The only thing I didn't do was use active sync... I copied the extracted file to my memory card then copied them over from that as the PC I'm at, at the moment doesn't run activesync 4 or higher (horrible win98 se machine..
Any comments much appreciated
Phil

I jast ran the cab file from my storage card and it installed perfectly. I did have diffulculty installing additional skins though.

Hi Phil,
There is a CAB on the FTP here which gives you the phonepad software EXACTLY like in older HTC phones: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Tools_and_Programs/Phone Pad - English Only.CAB
I installed it and it's great!

Hi sorry to be thick
ok i downloaded the buzzdev.net qvga dialer
but how does one install it. Do i just run the cab via activesync or run it on the vario2 or what sorry about the stupid questions
also i download the splash screen stuff from there too how do i make that appear instead of the default tmobile one when starting up
thanks
JEREMY

Just stick it onto your device, tap it to load it, install and then when prompted reboot (just hit OK and it'll do it) - the PIN entry screen remains the same, but the main dialer screen changes.
It looks very nice, and I'd use it all the time - except there's no way to use the T9 dialing feature which the regular dialer offers (where you can just type the name of the person you wish to call and it shows all valid entries from the list, so e.g. if I wanted to call my Mum - whose entry is Mum, ironically - I'd type 6-8-6 and then hit Dial). It's quite sad to see that this feature is missing, probably for a good reason as it does cause a fair bit of slowdown on my phone - more than on my old Alpine! - but I still use it all the time and I'm going to have to uninstall the skin because I really neeeeeeeeed that feature. :/

ok if I wanted to get the original tmobile dialer back then all I would have to do is uninstall it then? cool
how would I install the splash screen then?

Vijay55,
I installed it OK, the large buttons are awesome, however I have had the following problems:
1) DTMF (Tones) don't work properley when accessing voice mail etc (UK T-mobile) or any other press x application
2) Jog Dialer not active
3) No Smart dialling
Am I doing anything wrong?
Have had to pull it off becasue of the DTMF problem, I've installed it, removed it, rebooted, changed the options etc, nothing seems to fix it.

Fixed it!!
Though I am now using the Eten dialler with smart dial support and one of Paulya's Dark Blue Glass skins.
Editing the registry and setting the value to 0, then soft reboot and dtmf tones are working.
Setting it to 0 wasn't the obvious choice, and previously I hadn't soft rebooted.
Found the following from dhushy in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276700
Worked it out. For anyone with a similar problem, use the registry editor to locate the following key:
HKLM,"Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL","EnableDTMFSupport",0x0 0010001,1
Change the value from 1 to a 0 and Bob's yer Uncle (for non-British readers that means everything will be cushty - see Only Fools and Horses for a contextual translation)
Did this and I was able to manipulate my voicemail messages as normal.

Screan transition when going to sleep (wm7)

I was reading through this page:
http://microsoft.blognewschannel.co...bile-7-to-focus-on-touch-and-motion-gestures/
and I was especially interesting in this image:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I was thinking this sort of "transition" before going to sleep would be possible using something like mortscript. I havn't done a lot with mortscript but I was wondering if anyone else thinks this is possible?

WELL! this reminds me of a third party program .. I wish I could remember or find the name. It was posted to a free software forum (which I can't mention unless you PM).
Basically it had 6-10 transitions (that you can set for random if desired) that occurred wwen you woke up the device or put it into standby. IT was fluid, worked well, and looked awesome. IIRC, it even had a "Swoosh" sound when the screen spun around and zoomed down to a dot, then shut off. I got rid of it because the activation wasn't working correctly.
It will certainly look awesome on my phone now, with pointUI and slide2unlock on it. I would buy it today if I could find it ........
If I remember or discover it, I will reply to this.
Of course, RE: your original post, it would certain be amazing to see this feature built-in to WM7. I would like to see the whole entire OS have MUCH more animation, fluid sliding/scrolling movements .. like the iPhone. The hardware is certainly capable of it (as seen in PointUI)!

Its not freeware. It was once offered on handago, but no longer. The developers website is under construction [http://solidorb.marvelz.com/index.html]
I emailed them asking about it, you might want to do the same (email is on their website).
FYI the program costs $10.

I absolutely love that transitions program except that there's no way (at least not that I've heard of) to map that program to work when you hit the power button. Perhaps I will pay for it when someone cracks how to remap the power key.

hers is ownload ink to pocket suspend fx v: 1.20 its in zip , cab and also added the download link to map a key to pocket suspend fx:

Hello
Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnl (Power button)
So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want
I attached one of my favorite short cuts unzip the file then put it in to your windows folder. then press Send Key for about 2 to 3 second to run the shortcut. It will bring up the wifi networks.
Have fun.

1 and 2 are the same just yhe second one is a cab file for pocket suspend fx and first one is pc exe file and the third and fourth are htc end key if u have the latest htc device then it does have it if u have other device then htc then u can install this htc software to your device and the last one fourth is a hack to map a button to a software !!
and sorry pocket suspend fx is not [email protected] !!! you can find it in other places !!!

i set the short press power button to enable pocket suspend FX but there is no way to wake up the screen with the push of the power button is there anyway to fix that?

hah .. good question. How did you turn your pda back on?!
You would think the Pocket Suspend FX dev's would have figured that part out ....
Looking forward to the answer.

haha i turned it on by connecting it to activesync and then i deleted the shortcut i made until i find a way to turn it on with the power button

seems to work fine when mapped to the short press power button, but when depressing the power button from standby (short press), my device wont wake up unless i hold the power button for longer than usually necessary?
for now, ive assigned power suspend fx to the long press power button unless i can get it to work in a more traditional manner
jd

i used this app a while ago but i hate it that when my screen is off the program is already transitioning back to the normal screen what normaly should only happen when you put the device back on.
is this the same with you guys?

how do you know if your screen is off whats happening on your screen?
jd

Anyone
Did anyone try again something to know how really Suspend FX works ??

Hate to bring this up again after its been dead for a while but any new updates from any of you on getting this to work?
I tried messing around with s2u2 and replacing the exes with the PocketSuspend one since s2u2 starts and stops with the press of the power button... but not luck yet other than it works like it supposed to the first time then just dies or something.

ADDED extra file for download, this file will let you choose how to start bluetooth visible/hidden but only first time you run it, after that it will start with the choice you made (don't know if this file supports how many phones, but it works on X1) View attachment 153943 thanx khaan for the Xperia Bluetooth Switcher exe PS. NOT FOR HD2/TOUCH PRO 2, the HD2/touch pro2 actionscreen has another bluetooth switcher.

Sounds great. Hopefully looks great too. Any screenshots please!

Great stuff!
I was really missing the Action screen from TyTN II.
The only problem I noticed was the camera app will not start in this menu.
Also BT is started as "visible" - good if you want to receive something quickly from an unpaired phone, but not good if you want to start it for longer time such as using BT HF and be visible for all.

Pretty good. I like it, but i can't find any options....I can't find the folder it was installed to either lol.

Is there eny way to use another button for this?
Tks

ok some answers here.
its installed in windows dir because some files require that.
you can change the application launched in regestry, will post reg file later, as im typing on my x1 at the moment.
i will look into bluetooth, if there is some commandline i can use with the bt app, otherwise you can point the regfile to start the application caalled btswitcher.cab (search for it) in that you can choose not visable.
you can make a shortcut to action screen,place it in program, and use ae button plus to allocate another button to it.
regarding the camera its made for my swe rom, so you must change it in the reg file.
you will find all the button in regestry here
\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\

The app works flawlessly thank you. I got 2 questions:
1 - Can i change the time-out time. Can it stay longer after i press the button.
2 - Can i change the buttons. Assigning programs to them, for example?

Editted the camera path to CameraRunner.exe to work on my x1a.

This is a very cool app which i think i will use for long.
Thanks smaberg!

sorry, time out can not be changed. The button graphics you can edit if you know how, the program launched when you press a button can easy be changed in regestry as descibed above.

Installed to my storage card at first but didn't work. Then tried again, but this time installing to device and it was ok. So it's gotta be installed to device?

WOW ..just.. wow dude....seriously. The more i use it the more i'm impressed. I can't believe i used my Xperia for so long without it . It ahs a problem with landscape mode though...can this be fixed, or is it something in my phone?

This cab, will let you choose first time you run it, after that it only starts up bluetooth, with the choice you made the first time.
And by the way no landscape support!

how about making this a penal?
great job though.
hey random idea, how cool will it be if you could bring up the "action screen penal" and some how activate an animation to spin the coloms around and have the ability to add contacts or apps? like the toshiba TG01 only simple.

I am starting the official "smaberg we want landscape support" campaign.

Yeah, thank you very much.
I really missed a working actionscreen on the TP2.
Due to the new Bluetooth driver the one for the Xperia wasn't working anymore.
You made me as happy as with your ROMs back then

sorry, but can you tell me what is it and what does it do?
(sorry for my english)

Have a look at the screenshot. It's an action screen that allows you to select certain actions like new SMS, appointment, task etc.
Works nice! Good to see my BT is working with this version.
Gonna make some changes myself:
- Left softkey to ActionScreen
- No conformation for soft reset
Attached the left softkey for who's interested.

Works fine!
Especially the one-click Wifi switch is very clever.
The only thing is the problem of hitting the powerbutton while typing in landscape mode.
It will launch this app while you're chatting, very annoying.

Hello,
This tips is good if you do not use the TF3D ... otherwise it is replaced by the one from the TF3D ...
Do you know where to modify it in the TF3D ?
Thanks.

Personally I am trying to avoid pushing any buttons, I'd rather have an option on the screen like a shortcut in the Start Menu or something.
Would that be possible?

Hello,
In the start menu, it is a shortcut. Not so difficult. After installing the cab above, you will go to "\Windows" folder and you search for "HTCActionScreen.exe" then you make a copy and after you go to the "Start Menu" folder and "Progams" folder and you make a "Paste shortcut".
And this is done.

I think that's the point, if he's anything like me, everytime I type in landscape mode, I accidentally end up holding the power button for 3 seconds with the side of my finger, I'm forever turning of the phone .
Nice app though, just going to put it on.

For those that don't want to confirm the Soft Reset action:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_10]
"Param"="/s"
Attatched the REG file for those that want to import the file to the registry.
Don't forget to make a soft reset afterwards

This is awesome! I would love to have this app. Is there any way to make the icons a bit more colorful? Thanks so much!

hi! congratulations GREAT app.
is there anyway to change the icon (add + contacts) to one (close screen) without suspend the device. it is very useful to who wants to ear music from the speaker phone. cause when you turn of the device the music stops.
tnx in advance

Excellent! Thanks for thinking about us poor TP2 users!

Very interesting appl.
Does someone test it with touch pro stock rom ?(I have the italian one).
Thanks

Smaberg rocks
Welcome to TP2...I have been an avid follower of yours on Xperia forum...great to see you got a TP2.
Look forward to your inputs in making our TP2 way better than the great device it already is!!!

Hmm after installing i tried the application but it doet not work properly.
When i push the I/O button of my TP2 the screen becomes totally black... but when i touch a button (that i dont see) the rolloverbutton appears in green.
What can i do to make it work normally?

Hi smaberg,
i have alittle problem. Possible you can help me.
I have the last version of bmp2brn. I save my picture

But what i have is this. What goes wrong
EDIT:
i have found the solution here on xda after seraching deeeeeeep.
BrConvert is the right tool!

Volume Control - a big improvement

If you, like me, use your Topaz for frequent music playing, and find the default volume control (the large full screen version) very irritating, there is a way to enable the slim version of the control which appears for wmp for any program you want.
The slim version only works using the volume keys, you can't touch it, but it offers at least 15 steps and doesn't interrupt the music. This "hack" has finally made the Topaz a viable music player for me

}
Using a registry editor (I use Total Commander), navigate to HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass and you will see a list of apps which use the slimvolume control. You have to add keys (new folders in Total Commander) for all the apps you want to add.
Under these keys you have to create a String value containing the Window Classname of the app. You can get these names using a program like FdcSoft Task Manager v3.1. I've listed a few of the common ones below to save you the time.
Create a Key: "Nitrogen"
Create a String Value called “ClassName” with value "CNtgWndMain"
Create a key: "CorePlayer"
Create a string value called "ClassName" with value "wCorePlayer"
Create a key: "Opera"
Create a string value called "ClassName" with value "Opera_MainWndClass"
And so on. Take care to get caps and lower case correct, and don't include ""s. If you get the window class names wrong, don't worry, it just won't work till you get it right.
The settings take effect immediately, no need to restart.
PS: If you're not confident editing the registry, best not to do it. If you do, take great care, don't accidentally delete any keys!

And is it possible to add a key for the touch-flo music app?

Wow thanks for that, is alot nicer now .
I use my topaz as my mp3 player everday, had my first journey using it today with wm6.5 and it was a nightmare. Couldn't use coreplayer unless i held the phone in my hand, otherwise if i put it in my pocket it would just press random keys. Going into suspend mode by pressing power key just stops playback so i had to use the default htc music player which i really dont like. How do u put it in ur pocket with coreplayer if u cant press the suspend key?
Also the volume button doesnt seem to work in suspend mode like it used to either which is really annoying when im sitting on the train as i have to take it out of pocket everytime to change the volume.
For me so far as an mp3 player its not as good as it seems to have a few little problems

I don't know the answer. I'm afraid I only lived with wm6.5 for one day before rushing back to 6.1, there were just too many minor issues for me to live with.
Can't you lock the phone using the long press function on the "End" key?

I wasn't aware the volume keys worked in suspend mode anyway, but I could be mistaken. They work in "screen off" mode (you can do that through Coreplayer's menu "Menu - Options - Blank Screen". This might be all you need to do when putting it in your pocket, because it stops random screen taps I think.

find wkTask (haven't got the link - google it)
It's a little app that places itself in the topright corner over the X (replaces the X with it's own X)
It has the option to turn of the backlight
It is also possible to make a shortcut to wkTask w. commandline parameters - so that you can make a shortcut that turns off your light.
It also recognizes vertical and horizontal swipes from the X (swipe right or swipe down from the X) - these swipes can be assigned to different actions. In your case you could set it up to turn off the backlight on a swipe

wkTask sounds a nice app. It might be good to disable HTC's own task manager if you use it to avoid too many apps running unneccessarily, you can do this in the registry.

Thanks again Pete_S . Also that program sounds very useful acebone, thanks
