Magician ExtROM accesible

(source: ppc-welt.info)
The ExtROM of the MDA Compact (aka XDAIIi, Magician) can be accessed by soft-resetting AFTER having gone thru the initial startup (calibrate screen and all that) and BEFORE the customisation.
The ExtROM will then be visible.
Normally during customisation "Delete_vdisk_shortcut_ger.cab" or (a similar cab on non-T-Mobile Magician) will make the ExtROM invisible. The ExtROM stays locked, so you can only copy things off!!
In the ExtROM appear to be ywo interesting cabs:
- "T9.cab"or "Intellipad.cab" which contains a new SIP with T9 facilities. Should work flawlessly on ie a Himalaya.
- "IntelliDailer.cab" which contains the new dialer which features a T9 contact lookup. On ppc-welt.info it was stated that it doesnt work flawlessly on a Himalaya, but maybe that can be figured out?
There are some german language versions going round, but I also see the need of getting the English language versions of both IntelliPad and Intellidialer . . .

and here it is...
and remeber, these files are for test purposes only

Thanks, I will try/test something with it.
Hopefully the English version pops up one of these days.
BTW, I opened the cab that hides the ExTROM (aka VDisk) on Magician. In it there is a xml-file that seems to do the hiding trick:
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\HTC\Customize">
<parm name="DelFileCount" value="1" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="DelFile1" value="\Windows\AutoStart\LoadVDisk.lnk" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
Should be possible to create a CAB that inverts this hiding . . . .(I gues by removing the two keys DelFileCount and DelFile1)

I have tried to install intellidialer.cab,
but I only see my dial skin changed to T-mobile style,
how to enable the T9 dialer ? any ideas ?

mmm, that definitely IS the question.
isnt there any tools/setting option?
I noticed this new dialer also has the 'old style' pictures in it. Guess it is possible to choose between onld-style-dialer and IntelliDialer then.

same problem too...

Intellidialer
seems to work great on sorting contacts on PDA2K.
After installing I switched my dial pad skin back to xda skin chooser and all works great.

Steve: You got it working then?
Must be the WM2003SE os the Blue Angel features (and the Himalaya lacks . . .)
For now: Pity for us . . . .

Add Blackberry -anyone?
My biggest wishlist...
Possible to add Blackberry Connect extracted from XDA II and cook it in this XDA IIi ExtROM?

I don't know if it helps but on Compactjam I read the following:
To view or hide the EXTENDED_ROM of the MDA Compact without a hard reset, do the following...
Edit the registry key...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\VDisk\ and add a DWord key with the follwing value:
To hide...
MountFlags=1
To Show...
MountFlags=0
...and do a soft reset.

It doesn't work.

@little_frog
Well you must be doing something wrong then. I just tried it and I can indeed show or hide the Extended_ROM.

It didnt work on mine as well.
My VDisk reg setting reads:
Folder : Extended_Rom
MountFlags : 0 (added by me)
Name : Extended_Rom
Is it any difference from yours?

You don't need to change anything in registry.
Just run \Windows\LoadVDisk.exe to see Extended Rom folder.
This folder will be visible without soft reset.
After soft reset you don't see it again.
Darek

i aint got that on my imate jam?

Just go to your WIndows folder and scroll down, you will see a file named LoadVdisk.exe, run it and you will see the ext rom folder. Worked on my MDA Compact.

Reg tweaks (bat icon etc)

Hey guys, I've just flashed the Core 2.0 rom to my wizard, which was previously running on WM5. I was tweaking the reg a bit with tweaks that I knew from WM5 but I couldn't find all the reg keys. For instance I'm unable to remove the battery icon and comm icon from the bottom tray at the today screen. Does anyone have a link to a site or file where I can find all the reg edits for WM6. I did a quick search but I couldn't find anything.
I also saw some nice features in the program htcTweakUI. This is a program that is incorperated in the LVSW WM6 rom for the HTC HErmes. Does anybody know if this program is separatly available for download (and not incorperated in the rom) and if it workes on the wizard?
Thank a lot

Comm manager settings and S730 list style

Thanx to Dr. Martin Gonzo in this thread, we can now set the comm manager to the new HTC style!
Dr. Martin Gonzo said:
Here you go. Here is what I changed to it : it is the commmanager from HTC s730, I changed the skin, added vibrate option, created an icon for it and removed some other fonctions I don't use.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Instructions:
Download the comm manager zip below and unpack the files into the windows folder.
the 2 things to change/add in the registry are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
"DisableButtonText"=dword:3 (sets the list-style comm manager)
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:6 (sets 6 buttons)
another thing: If you want to have the vibrate button instead of the directpush button in the list, simply rename in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager the folders 6 and 4
Good luck!

Additional info about comm manager:
in this Hermes thread ppl are discussing about the various comm manager options.
I'll copy them here and add some:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
"TurnOffPhoneDelay"=dword:0 ----> 0(delay) or 1(No Delay)
"DoNotQueryGPRS"=dword:0 ------>0 or 1 (Not sure what it does, defaulted to 0)
"UseMSFlightMode"=dword:0 ------> 0 or 1 Self Explaination
"TurnOnWLANInFlightMode"=dword:0 ------> 0 or 1(Flightmode Off will turn on WLAN together with Phone and Bluetooth)
"TextColor"=dword:0 -----> 0(white) or 1(Base Hue Color)
"EmptyMenuBar"=dword:0 ------>0(MenuEnabled) or 1(Menu Disabled)
"DefaultScheme"="" -------->use with DinamicBGImage
"SecondBMPResource"="" -------->Use with DinamicBGImage
"DynamicBGImage"=dword:0 ----> 0(static BG) or 1(Dynamic BG) Have not try this yet
"TurnOffAUTDInFlightMode"=dword:0 ----> 0 or 1 self explaination(AUTD is Push Email)
"UseBluetoothCPL"=dword:1 (Not sure what is does, defaulted to 1)
"DisableButtonText"=dword:3 (sets the list-style comm manager, set to 0 for button-style)
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:6 (sets 6 buttons)
So: play around with it and share which ones work on the Vox!

And here is the original skin !

It 's not work with me,
Could you please kindly provide the 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 directories important informations?
I think it's something wrong about this.
Thanks please,
I meant the Data Communication bar is not come up, but I got ActiveSync instead.

I think the best is you just export the whole Comm Manager key and upload it here. Thank you again
EDIT:
Stupid question, I already have it:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:5
"UseBluetoothCPL"=dword:1
"DisableButtonText"=dword:3
"UseMSFlightMode"=dword:1

I think the CommManager.exe.040C.mui as I had two other CommManager.exe.0407.mui and CommManager.exe.0409.mui. It is not working here. Any ideas?

@frauhottelman:
you publish the wrong registrydump:
-the SupportedFunctions must be 6 instead of 5
-in the folders 4, 5 and 6 you have 3x vibrate. If you want to see Vibrate, put it as 4 and make 5 DataDisconnection and 6 AUTD
- what is exactly your question about the mui?
@mobile24h:
- I don't understand your question. Don't you see the new comm at all or are you speaking about 1 specific line in the comm manager?

I know the vibrating thing, but that is the registry dump which i got from Dr. Martin Gonzo, I changed that already. The thing is I think mobile24h has the same problem, the Comm manager shows up, but it is the old design from the S710 now with only 6 buttons! That is all that shows up and it is stupid, because the soft keys don't work and the icon bar on top with battery and so on doesn't show up!

try playing around with the "DisableButtonText"=dword:3 function. Change it to 0, 1, 2, 4 etc. I have the ARA 1.27 rom, and it works perfect for me. The setting 0 is the classic version for me, and 3 the new one.
Just use a taskmanager to kill the commmanager proces, and start it again after just adjusted the setting to see the results!
good luck, let me know if this helped!
ps, which language ru using? Mine is english, so the mui is 0409

Mh I tried from 0-5 but it didn't change anything. I am using German, but I tried with US and UK English as well. Maybe the old ROM I am using 1.16.407.1 doesn't support it?!

Hey could you upload the commManager.exe from Windows? Maybe that changed with the new rom!?

Maybe a stupid question, but how do I copy the files to the windows directory. I'm not able to overwrite some files. (They are in use...)
Thanks in advance for the help.

You have to stop the processes which use these files. E.g. if you want to overwrite something that is used by the CommManager.exe, you have to kill that process.

I am closer now, the problem is that the CommManager.exe and CommManagerRes.dll are hidden and I didn't copy them. But now the problem is that it doesn't show text like Bluetooth or Wifi
YEAH
It finally works!!!!!!!!

Here I made a package without hidden files. Just kill CommManager.exe, copy contents of windows folder to your phone's windows folder and overwrite all. Then apply CommManager.reg. Done

thank you or cleaning my messy work !

could someone post polish mui file for this comm manager? (with 415 number in filename)

Hm I don't think anybody has, but you can change the MUI yourself. Just rename it to the right number and open with notepad. There you should see some weired stuff and then things like S e t t i n g s i think when you just change all of them to polish it should work?! Would you try that and then report back if it works?

You should rather use a resource hacker program instead of notepad. That's what I did and it works. Search for reshack or XN Resource Editor in Google

ok I've translated almoust everything but in english mui file there are some french words, if someone could translate it to english I would be grateful
Words:
"Désactiver toutes les connections"
"Désactiver radio" - Is that mean the same as "Turn off phone"?
"Relancer les connections"

How do you enable Manila Start Menu in Leo?

Does anyone know how to enable the Manila Start menu as opposed to the 6.5 start menu? I tried to look in the registry for enlarge menu etc etc but not luck getting it to work.

I think that the start menu you are asking for doesn't have much to do with manila. So the one you are asking for belongs to windows 6.1 and I guess there is not much you can do to get that in windows 6.5.

As far as I know they removed it since the WM6.5 startmanu was better...

Maybe this will do the trick:
HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
EnableManilaStartMenu = 1 (TF3D startmenu)
EnableManilaStartMenu = 0 (WM startmenu)
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila
Manila://programs.page.hidden = 0

Lauren, I guess my more specific question was, if you have windows default selected, how do you determine what windows default is?
My problem is I keep having it to where when I turn off the phone then back on, "calendar" disappears from home screen until I go into the home screen settings and exit/save. It's annoying.
