Will Pimp my Black and other tweaks work? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De

Do you think I could get away with using pimp my black (to get a few of the reg tweaks easier) and vibra call (mapping the push-hold record key to toggle between ring and vibrate).
I got my Kaiser but haven't been able to work much on it yet and thought I'd ask if anyone has already applied some of the tried and true TyTn tweaks.
I did load "device lock" to lock keys on power-up and HTC softkey mapper and they both work fine. I also loaded the Black Glossy Bars theme with no problem but I've got to dig up a reg editor to load to be able to tweak the black bars back to black and other things.
I'd forgotten all the little things that made my TyTn so great to use, gotta get them onto TyTn II.

Well, Pimp my black does NOT work,
I did a few reg tweaks from the Hermes_Registry Settings Wiki, so far this works;
Loaded Black Glossy Bars theame, reg tweaked the basehue to 160 and got the black bars back (from the grey that they were).
Got rid of the "in-call volume beeps" with reg tweak.
Restored "clock on top bar" with reg tweak.
I tried Vijay Lumos with the hope of having a mappable button to get the Bright Screen, this is VERY useful when outdoors and you need a quick punch of brightness to the screen. It didn't work.
Loaded Vibra Call but still need to play with it to see what can be done.
At this point the Kaiser needs some coder love!

The registry on the Kaiser is NOT the same as the Hermes.
You shouldn't use the hermes tools unless youre positive the same registry entry exists on the kaiser. Otherwise you're adding and modifying the wrong entries in the kaiser.

Vibra Call works great, mapped the standard Push/Hold Record key to it and now I can have one button to toggle Silent/Vibrate and Ring.
Loaded iGuidance v4.0, set GPS to Com4 and 4800baud, it initially asked for permission to run about 10 unsigned files, so after answering yes a bunch of times it finally ran. Now it opens in about 1-2 seconds, gets 8 sattellites outside and 5-6 at my desk indoors near a window. Need a bright screen toggle for that outdoor stuff!

Understood, the tweaks I've applied so far were to keys that did exist. Gotta start somewhere

i'm interested in getting the black glossy bars. i'd be grateful if you'd post a copy of the theme file and the reg tweak. thx.

I've attached the Black Glossy Bar Theme. It's not a zip file I had to change it's extension to attach it here. Just rename it as BlackGlossy.tsk and put it in your documents folder. In Today settings, select it as your theme.
The top and bottom bars will be glossy grey. With a reg editor go to;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\Basehue , thenchange value to decimal value 160
The bars will now be Black and Glossy!

Loaded Slingbox Player, it works great, video is even sharper than it is on my Hermes.

sweet! thanks for the prompt reply.... my Today screen looks really nice with the glossy black bars!

Loaded Opera-Mini and it works but not so much with Touch-Flo.
Installed Mortscript and tried the Bluetooth Redirect script to pass all sounds thru the BT headset. Mortscript loads and the redirect script runs OK, however, the sounds don't redirect. Pressing the headset button just launches voice dialer instead of redirecting the sound. I'll have to check the reg key and compare it to the Hermes reg tweak for this. Really hope this works out, this has been a very useful feature on the road!
Installed AE Button Plus, it's working normally, assigned a few keys with multi functions.

Comm Manager Taskbar Icon

I've got a UK Orange M600 (Prophet) and have a number of today plugins but i'm running out of screenspace in the today view.
there is a taskbar at the bottom with an icon for the comm manager which i'd love to get rid of. I already have a hardware button for the Comm Manager i don't need an icon on my today screen as well and it takes up the whole width of the screen even though it is just one tiny icon
does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it, i've even swapped to the latest Dopod rom and not loaded any of the extended ROM and it is still there
Sorry if this isn't exactly the right place to post this but it's been driving me crazy.
Any help would be appreciated

Go to windows\startup. There should be an init_tray.lnk there. Delete it, then reset the device.

Cool
thanks worked a treat.
I knew it should be something simple
Do you know what Capnotify.lnk is? which is also in my startup dir

Nope. It links to Capnotify.exe in windows dir, but I have no idea what that does.
You could always try cut / paste to move the link somewhere else, boot without it and see what's missing (my guess, some notification won't work).
As long as you don't delete the link completely it should be relatively safe.

Instead of being lazy i looked it up
found this
Looking inside my \Windows\Startup folder on my Wizard, I found a shortcut to an application called CapNotify.exe. Upon inspecting the file in a hex editor, I found a registry key called "EnableIndicator" which was not found in the registry. After creating the registry entry called EnableIndicator at \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and assigning the DWORD value of 1 to it , then soft-resetting my device, an indicator appeared next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen! Tapping the Shift key showed a "C" while tapping the Dot key showed a dot! Very cool!

Thanks. No I know I can get rid of it since my device doesn't have a hardware keyboard.

How do I disable the keyboard???

Hi there,
here's a question relating to the soft-keyboard:
I noticed that with some applications (e.g. PHM reg editor) when I want to punch in a value and hit the corresponding field the keyboard will pop up (which is perfect so far). Now, the keyboard sometimes hides the OK button which I'd have to hit to accept the changes but somehow I can't convince the keyboard to go back where it came from - there's no button to disable or change it (like the "12" button you sometimes see in the bottom).
What can I do to get rid of the keyboard in such situations? Is there maybe a hardware button??
Thanks a lot

There's an icon between the soft keys on the bottom of the screen that changes according to the desired input method. Touch that and a keyboard will magically disappear, regardless of the selected input method.
The input method icon, is always displayed when there's a possibility for text input.
ps.: RTM

Read the manual and like I said:
There's NO icon displayed at the bottom of the screen!

Then use another program, that's the best workaround that i can come up whith..
Or there's the possibilty of a greater underlying problem that would need a Hard Reset to fix it... so far you're the first whith this problem...

Indeed, I've had this too before, try using WM6 compatbile software, I though that was my problem a few weeks ago. An example is Mozilla Minimo, which is horrible on WM6, not being able to remove the keyboard, or even better, hiding it, but not refreshing the contents behind the keyboard

Exactly, Minimo is another one of those applications that show this problem.

How about changing your default kb to something else?
There is a reg hack to disable the SIP from displaying when you put focus on any text field, but that is not a good solution for a device that doesn't have a physical kb. I use it on my Treo 750 since I don't need the SIP. However, on the TC, it would make much sense.
On a bit of a side note, I have heard that if TC owners want to use another kb besides the standard Xt9 version, you need to apply the following to disable it:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\compime.dll
Layout Text=COMP IME
To Turn on again
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\eT9Ime.dll
Layout Text=eT9 IME

Did your registry tweaks will stop pop up of any keyboard when accessing a text area?
That's what I 'm looking for. Because I installed a full screen keyboard and I use it with a button.
Thxs.

up!!!
Pleaaaaase'!

This app will keep the keyboard from poping up automatically. You can still open it manually. I've not tried it with WM6.

It works!

what full screen keyboard are you using?

I use SPB full keyboard.

What's On Your Today Screen?

I have been going back and forth between rltoday and HTC Home. I have issues with both and I like them both. I am currently running the HTC Home plugin.
rltoday Pros:
Highly configurable (if you have time)
very light weight
can use with the hidelogo cab
free
rltoday Cons:
limited user community (for my device)
unable to navigate with five-way
limited native functionality (additional scripts or 3rd party apps needed)
no weather plugin
HTC Home Pros:
Customizable (HTC Home Config)
multi-tabbed
built-in weather
built-in ringer profile selections (with HHC)
launch music player from today screen as well as see what's playing
built-in picture dialer
no 3rd party apps/scripts needed
free
HTC Home Cons:
unable to use hidelogo cab
weather plugin is limited (even with HHC)
profile selections don't always work
a. doesn't vibrate but is silent
b. when the meeting/event is over speaker is turned all the way down
when the clock is touched it launches the time/alarm settings (annoying)
So, what are you running on your today screen and why?

hey too bad nobody is answering to this i would love to know all the cool today plugins there is. Im running the HTC Home plugin and sometimes the cool Pointu interface.
How about you guys ?

I prefer the simple but elegant approach...until something really groundbreaking comes along :
TA Pro: controls LED, and gives quick stats and weather
GoodMobile Messaging Calendar and Mail (also displays sms count)
cLaunch: Three 2xtabs (each tab has 2 wrap rows) with my common apps. I've also modified cLaunch.dll to play nicer with the 240x240 display when in the settings area of the app.
Hidelogo to give a little more real estate
I've also replaced battery.exe with an HTC version that gives a better battery icon and little more display flexibility.
QuickMenu 2.7 to assist with app closing, hibernate, soft reset and additional menu browsing needs.
fTouchflo (last free version) for easier touch navigation
I've replaced the default tahoma.ttf with the one from my XP workstation for a smoother font appearance
================
I really like throttle launcher as a replacement for cLaunch, but presently it takes up too much memory and is a little cumbersome to configure on the fly.
PointUI is promising, but needs better hooks into "Good" before I can use it, plus needs more customization options to allow me to get to what I need in a minimum of "clicks" - it's not presently able to give me what my present setup offers me.

Any screenshots?

My Today screen is settled. I have finalized on HTC Home Plugin. No other plugins on the screen. You will notice that I have the bluetooth and the carrier information hid. This is accomplished with Memaid removing the "active call", and "lookup". This does make some additional challenges like the usage of the talk (green) and end (red buttons) as well as the ringer. These are easily overcome by registry changes. I also employed the HTC Home Customizer to make the background transparent and have the "Vista" icons. Music is being played on the device and only showing in the plug (not title bar) through the use of "wk Task". Also I have the battery icon on the today screen but on other apps the time is displayed. This is a result of HHC as well. You can have the time only always; I chose to have it only away from the Today screen. You will also notice that the left and right softkeys are different. Because I am using the standard Windows Mobile dialer, I can customize these keys. One goes to the mail/messaging and the other goes to my IM program. I am running WM6.1 Lite OS (ROM).
I intend to write a complete document on how to do these customizations. It can be frustrating looking for hours and days piecing things together. WinMob has been a lot more fun for me than Palm (former 650 user).
What other options are out there? Feel free to chime in.

Just added quick menu to the list. It is amazing!

Quickmenu
I have found that this application makes my Treo unresponsive. I noticed that after selecting the application, my phone seems to hang or be very slow. I have uninstalled it until I can figure what is making it unresponsive.

Well my today screen is running SPB Mobile Shell 2.
Version 2 looks real nice and has some cool animations too.
lew, i sent you a pm, id love to get rid of palm dialer and the att/bt logos while keeping red/green button functionality.
I got what I need installed (memmaid, total commander) i just dont know what to do.

what registry settings did you use to get the green and red phone keys functional again after disabling the carrier/bluetooth icons?

Green/Red Button Functionality
Use the following steps to remove the carrier info/bluetooth logo and still use the green/red buttons.
I got rid of the carrier info by way of the removal of "Active Call" and "Dial Lookup" startup items. These were removed using MemMaid. At this point the device will revert to the WinMob dialer. Pressing the green button will launch the dialer and pressing the red button will cause it to go away. However pressing the red button will NOT end a call. You have to press the "End" button on the screen or hangup via your BT device button.
You will need to change the service called "VOL0" to "manual" (MemMaid again).
You will no longer be able to select your ringer in the standard way. You will need to make the change in the registry. HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds is where the change is made. The entries PlmORingTone1, 2 and 3 are the entries for Known Unknown and Roaming calls. You will have to copy and paste (and over-write) the entries from there to "RingTone0", 2 and "RoamingRing0". PlmORingTone1 and RingTone0 are for "Known"callers. You will have to make this change every time you want the ringtone to be different. These steps are not necessary for changing the ringtone of a contact.
You need to remap the device keys. (Backup your device OR copy the values down BEFORE you make any changes if you want to go back!!) Make the following changes in the registry. In HKLM\Security\Phone change the Charmap to "ertdfgxcvzubo" and the Keymap to "ERTDFGXCVZUBO". In HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin change Enabled to "0".
Reset the device
NOTE: These changes are only necessary if you want to use the standard WM6(.1) dialer. Original Values for the Charmap and Keymap entries
Charmap "ertdfgcvbyuio"
Keymap: "ERTDFGCVBYUIO"

Thanks for the tutorial, but now the red key no longer turns off the screen. Any ideas

Red Button No Longer Turns Off Screen
I too have the same problem with the red button. To aleviate this I have created a button shortcut that allows me to lock the phone by pressing one button. Using QuickMenu, in the options, on the command tab, choose lock from the list and click on create shortcut. You can now assign a button to this to lock the phone. I choose the OK button. So if I press and hold OK, my phone will lock.
By the way, the issue that I was having with QuickMenu was a conflict with CTRL-Pro. After removing it I am now able to use QuickMenu without any problems.

I use the executable and DLL's from http://www.alensw.com/attachment/QuickMenu_2.7.rar
I extract to ExtROM and create a shortcut to the EXE in windows\startup.
All the settings are stored in the registry, use total commander or your preferred flavor of reg reader to import/export for backup/restore purposes.

why not use the "hidelogo.cab"
The hidelogo.cab causes a reset loop with the HTC Home plugin.

Volume Overlay Issues with New Taskbars?

Iv been reading through some of the posts on the forum regarding volume overlays being affected by installing new taskbars as i am having the same problem. In core player, WMplayer etc whenever the usual green volume overlay would appear for volume i am instead getting a black vertical block on the left hand side of the screen, no volume indication at all.
I have installed the default HTC Leo volume control but this gets rid of the speaker icon in the Taskbar i have installed and its a very basic looking volume adjustment which also overrides the HD2's main volume control aswell, so uninstalled this.
Was wondering if there is any kind of update or a file in a cab that would remedy this issue?, its not the end of the world as the volume adjustment still works but theres just no indication. Although having an actual volume overlay looks much nicer than a black box =P.
If anyone could help would be much appreciated
Also forgot to mention I did try to install a cab from a post I read where somebody had included all files that was supposed to fix this issue but after install and soft reset it didnt change a thing. I have the gfreek G_Brains WM6.5 taskbar installed on my HD2 with Co0kie's Home Tab and the Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch... if this helps at all.

Same with me, on 1.66 standard ROM (UK).
I don't think this really is fixed on many of the taskbars.
I'm using the one attached below at the moment, has the old style black volume control though, and I would prefer the proper green slide one.
DJC seems to work OK too (do a search), and with the proper green slide volume control, but the voicemail icon isn't included and it's the standard white windows one amongst the nicer looking DJC graphics icons.

i was using the DJC one before but got this one becuase i was having some problems with a few of the icons not working. Posted this really to see if anyone had any idea of how to get this to work with ANY taskbar that was installed because i noticed quite a lot of people having same problems with numerous different taskbar installations. Like i said its not that big of a deal but would be nice to have the volume overlay that i had when i first got the phone (without having to uninstall my awesome new taskbar) =].
Thanx anyway

I am just not finding it!

I have the latest stock ROM for the Verizon TP2 WM 6.5. I have made everything transparent on my home screen except i cant figure out how to make the Verizon Wireless semi transparent bar with the logo go away all together. I have tried half a dozen files and none of them makes it truly go away all together. Other than maybe transparent home slider icons or the slider button(not the slider itself) which I cant get to work either, my home screen would be perfect. Any help would be great. If i am missing the posts just point me in the right direction and i am sorry in advance.

You might have to do a combo of remove curtain + remove logo + personalizer (to change the text "Verizon" to whatever you wish)

Yea exactly what i tried before...but the semi-transparent bar is still there..everything else is gone...need to remove the bar as well.
Thanks for the info anyway.

Here is a whole list of opacity and bar removals, if it isn't here then I don't know where you'll find it.

please take a screen shot of what you want fixed.

Here it is...I would like the semi-transparent bar where the words Verizon are removed. I also want the Verizon Wireless text gone as well. The personalizer cab just makes it disappear temporarily.. and like every couple seconds it flashes on and then goes blank again. I don't want that. I have tried like 6 or 7 cabs and none of them would remove that specific semi transparent bar. On a side note, I wouldn't mind the silver square behind the home icon transparent as well. None of those cabs worked as well.
Thanks for the help!

Unzip rar then copy to windows directory using total commander.
