Replacing My App by the default dial app and a few more..

Hi
I have a few question
--is it possible that i replace my application with the default dial applciation when the start call key is pressed . i read the post that by replacing /windows/cprog.exe this can be achieved temporarily. i want it for permanent.
--secondly is it possible to stop any default voice call when number is pressed on touch screen or through dialer application..........by intercepting the internal message mechanism .
--How XDA2s make a voice call ....is it through tapi ...i m talking about the normal phone calls ....if its tapi i will b help ful if a detail is provieded whether a seperate TSP is required for that ?
Thanks in advance ...any help will b highly appreciated .....

Replace cprog.exe with custom phone app
Hi hsibat,
I have almost the same problem. I want to replace the original phone application with my custom phone app. In this custom app I want to control which phone numbers are allowed to dial, and which numbers to accept a phone call from.
My results untill now are:
- My app works well when it runs besides the originale cprog.exe, using tapi calls like lineInitialize ... tapiRequestMakeCall etc.
- When I overwrite \Windows\cprog.exe with my app (now also named cprog.exe) I cannot dial or receive calls anymore. Building up a line and selecting a provider in the end results in "No service" in the connection dialog. Despite the fact that i'm seeing when debugging that the registration with my provider results in the correct provider (lineRegister) "NL KPN".
Obvisouly cprog has some more coding in it to setup a good connection.
- After this I tried to analyze the disassembled cprog.exe, but I didn't succeed until now to reveil which extra coded I needed in my app. Reading and interpreting the disassembled code is not easy for me, because I'm not experienced in assembly.
The disassembling I did in the following way:
1. Extract the pda os into a rom file using the OSImage tool (which you can download from http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/XDA/XDAtools-Jeff.exe).
2. Extracted all files from the romfile on my pc with the tool dumprom from itsme (which you can download from http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/dumprom.html).
3. Disassembled cprog.exe with IDA Pro 4.17.
- Now I'm trying to get my app working by replacing the original cprog.exe with my app and renaming the original cprog.exe and store the file somewhere outside /Windows, and starting the renamed cprog.exe from within my app. This Worked!!!! BUT my purpose to block "screened" outgoing calls can be bypassed. When an incoming call is missed you still are able to view missed calls (icon in the taskbar), and if you selected a missed call the original cprog phone app is started (dispite the renaming). And you are free to make any call.
So I'm searching for a solution for this "leak". A solution could be by intercepting ALL outgoing call by receiving a message in my customized app. But like you I didn't figure out how to do this, yet. Or an even better solution would be to get the missing coding I need to be able to exclude the original cprog.exe completly.
You problem to make your overwritte of the cprog permanent can be solved I thing by making your own rom file with your own cprog.exe included and upload that to your pda. Using the tool makerom.
I hope you can extract some tips from my quest, and I hope someone has some tips for me.
greetings

Re: Replace cprog.exe with custom phone app
i'd recommend you to use completely different method. As you know OS communicates with GSM device through a COM-port. It sends normal AT-commands. You can hook the COM-port, parse ATDxxx and modem's responces and hide unneeded commands.

Replace cprog.exe with custom phone app
Thanks Mamaich (famous celebrity in France),
I think your solution is neater, do you perhaps also have an example of how this should be done ? I searched the whole bb, but couldn't find more then cproghook. Learning by example works perfect for me.
Compliments for this great app by the way. I wonder how you come to these kind of ideas of hooking ?

Re: Replace cprog.exe with custom phone app
http://mamaich.kasone.com/rover/IrCOMM.rar
archive contains a wrapper driver around one of COM-ports. It has no comments and was written to a different device.

Hooking COM
Thanks again Mamaich,
I'll start trying to make this work for my purposes. As soon as I have some results I 'll update my findings to the BB.

Replacing the default Dialer App by hook or by Crook ..HELP!
Thanks a lot guys for so much suggestions.
What i m doing is trying a different options now mostly based on your suggestions....listed follows
-- I downloaded the WINCE source code provided by Microsoft under shared source code .Under there faq they said them selves that the source given is very different what runs on a pocket pc ..contains custom applications as well ....secondly i ddidnt find any thing related to GSM in the code but did find about Tapi which is used by a number of applications . i didnt find any thing like cprog.exe as well.....i m stuck what should i do ...i m unable to find even the dial button event handler ........i dont know how to put the dialing application do i need to build a custom one and if so ..how can it b possible to call it when the dial button is pressed ....
-- it might be an idea that intercepting the com port might help...but when there is nothing insied the availabe source code abt the GSM ....what i want to ask is is that are u talking about some external GSM device connected to com port .....if that so how the pocket pc makes the call
sorry if the questions are too childish but i m very new to this ..
Any help will be highly appreciated ..

Tabish

The code provided by MS does not have the code for RIL and other stuff.
Our devices contain 2 parts - a GSM modem and a Windows part that works with it via TAPI and RIL interfaces. They internally use COM2 to communicate with modem device (also COM9 is used during data session, but this can be ignored in your case). You can intercept all commands going through COM2 and filter out unnecessary ones.
MS shared source code would provide a little help. Most info can be obtained by decompiling DLLs/EXEs with IDA (www.datarescue.com).

Intercepting the COM2 port for GSM
Thanks for the reply,
i m into writing an application that will intercept the commands destined for COM2 as its a gsm port right ....i hope this will work for me .
Is there are good starting article for writing hooks for COM ports and is there any detail available for WinCE what port is for what purpose ?or u can say WinCE internals .
Any extra advice or information will also be highly appreciated in this regard.
Regards

Re: Intercepting the COM2 port for GSM
i don't know such articles

Hi
Now i m trying to get into details and trying to write a GSM port interceptor .
A few problems that i have that ....i wanna create a seperate rom iamage i mean my little application will be a part of OS . but unfortunately i dont have the RIL module code in the shared source code ...there is no TSP ( not remember the exact name )avaialble that Tapi uses to make the call.
Secondly if i dont make it a part of OS then will it b possible to make it background process that will run every time OS starts and will not disappear even after a hard reset.
I will be needing guidance to achieve this .....
ideas matters alot .....
Thanks in advance ..
Tabish

to add files to ROM you can use itsme's romtools, or you can make a CAB and place it to extended ROM so that it would be installed after each hardreset

Oks ...
making the cab file is the second part ....
firstly i tried to extract the rilgsm.dll and ril.dll from my device , i was succedded in getting rilgsm.dll but was unable to get ril.dll....infact i wanted to have a look at the functions provided there ....
i m not sure where to start from .....i check the forum ther i found a very complex solution for hooking the dll in this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=19558
and i will have to hook the dll in ordert to intercept what even command goes to the port .....
Correct Me if my direction is wrong ....

I have followed many posts on how to establish data call and am still having problems.
1) When collecting data from TAPI shall i createfile through COM 1 ? because when i try to, i get an error message. Maybe shall i get rid of CProg.exe ? However in my program i'm only requesting a connection to recieve data from a remote module.
2) When connecting through COM 2 with AT Commands i get normal AT responses. However with my ATD i have more difficulties. I dial ATD"0123456789"; and i get an OK then NO CARRIER response. Anyone got an idea ?
thanks for your helps.

[Q] Xperia X8 2.1 SMS Center problem

Hi,
I have problems with the Message Center since I update my Xperia X8 to 2.1 it disapear and I can't configure it. After update mobile asks me to get operator information, but I wrongly press the not button and I don't see that message again -.-
There's no visible configuration menu on the mobile now, but I find this dialing sequence to do that:
1. Open your dialler and dial: *#*#4636#*#*.
2. From the menus which appear, select Phone Information.
3. Scroll down to SMSC.
4. Enter the SMS centre number given by your provider in this box.
5. Select Update.
I tried this, but reports me an "update error" :S
My operator center message number is: +34609090909
I don't know what to do, some sugestion to solve my problem?

Try running the setup guide again.
It should appear in your app drawer, with a magic wand for an icon.

Hey a-k-t-w!
I solved my problem changuing my SIM card for another of the same operator and that runs the setup guide, is the same as yours but more ineficient, then your solution is the right one on this case, thank you

That problem i have to....
And i didn't solve it yet. I'm not very good at english, so something there i didn't catch :S
On 1.6 x8 was able to send message.
On 2.1 it was unable to do it.
Now i root my x8 on 2.2.9 FroyoBread 0.25, and still not effect...
Please help me, i will be so greatfull.
EDIT: I done same step just like magnustor and it didn't work on 2.2.9
P.S Sorry on my english, i now it is terrible
anyway thanks

I have the same problem. I guess the answer lies in old SIM cards that those with the sms centre problem have.

I was right about the old SIM cards. I exchanged my old card with new one, keeping my old number of course.

Help, I cant install Apps from Market Place

Hey Everyone
I got WP7 on my HD2, everything works fine but MarketPlace, after two days trying Microsoft Chat finally I got my activation code, now everthing is working fine but I cant get any game or app from Marketplace, I get this error
"Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while"
I have tried everything , reseting, changing time region and location but doesnt work, I tried to get apps from zune , when I get the apps from there it says everything is okay and your application will be installed soon, but nothing happens and nothing will be on the phone,
Help plz

I found the problem , I had to run HTC Connection setup, now everything works fine !

Hey there, how to run HTC connection setup and any advice to get the Activation Code ?

Was that before or after you put in the activation code?

Same Problem, tried both

I did both, before and after activation. Have the same message (in German) as stated above. Going to do some research on XDA but if anybody has an idea in between just let us know...
Edit: Ok, here are the tool and the description in how-to make the changes in the registry to change the HD2 to an HD7.

Do what it says in this topic
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=912218
I did them all in order, then got my Activation Key and after activating I did the registry part again and ran the Connection Setup after everything and it did the job

Ah , btw, for Activation Code, u can get it via Microsoft Online Chat support,
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/cu_sc_selector_chat?ws=support# First Chat system
but if ur outside of US u need to get a US IP using a VPN then check to see they cant see if ur behind proxies, if everything was okay go to the chat and tell them that u need a activation key they might ask u where u bought the phone just say something, if everything is okay they'd ask u for ur full name and your mobile number which ofc should be a US number,
When he asked me for that I answerd with 1 minutes delay coz I didnt know where to get a US number, then I said "is it necessary to have a US number coz I dont have it at the moment, can I give a international number like a UK number" then he said "I see, are u located in the UK" I was almost there I didnt want to ruin everything he was about to give me the coe, then I said "Not at the moment" , then hye said "Okay give me that UK number" and that did the trick and he gave me the code
But dont forget the best way is calling Microsoft support center in your country, and also for the chat way u need to try different operators coz most of them say u need to call support center and becareful remember the operator names and also use different name and email every time u go to the chat system , I gave them all fake email name and number

Error 80004005
Hi
I have done all the steps (haven't yet wiped the phone) got the activation key working but when I try to install any application I get : There is a problem completing your request. Try again later. Error code: 80004005 or I get: Can't get this information at the moment. Check again in a little while.
Nothing worked and I really running out of ideas. and I really want that phone to work, as WP7 is amazing!

Okay so you have activated ur Windows already , if so do the registry part again and see if it works or not !
I mean this part
1. Download XBMOD Deployer - CLICK HERE
2. In your Windows Development tools you installed earlier there should be an application called "Application Deployment". Connect your phone and open the program and install XBMODDeployer.xap. This extracts the provxml into /My Documents/My Ringtones/.
3. Download TouchXplorer - CLICK HERE - and install this .xap the same way as step 2.
4. Using TouchXplorer copy the file in /My Documents/My Ringtones/ to /Windows/ , overwrite if asked. - Give it time to open the Windows folder it takes a while.
5. Download HTC Connection Setup - CLICK HERE - same as above deploy to phone.
6. Open HTC Connection Setup and setup your network.
7. If your camera setting are not showing, in settings region, change display language to: United States. - this shouldnt affect anything if you are in a different country. Im from UK

missing feature.xml file and invalid recipienterror message in messenger?

Hi,
I'm using L29C636 in U.S (B161), and received this "invalid recipient" error. After some digging, I found out it was caused by phone number formatting issue ( if I remove all non number characters and add country code at front, it then works fine), and we can modify an entry in feature.xml file to fix this. Typically the file should be located in /system/csc/, but I don't see this folder... Anyone has an idea where it could be?
Thanks!

I have a VKY-L29C636B124 in Canada. I have had a similar issue. When I send a text message to someone for the first time, going through the contact manager I will always get an "invalid recipient" error, I go back to the contact manager and try again and THEN my message will go through.
I think the my phone wants me to put a 1 in front of every phone number and treat them as if they were all long distance calls.
