How do you disable the MS smart dial function (not the HTC one, that's simple)?
I'm working with the raw AT&T rom (hard reset w/ soft reset before customization/AT&T crapware installations) with a few simple cab installs (HTC home primarily), KaiserTweak, and the HTC black theme to complement Touchpal (slick UI, man). I turned off the HTC smart dialer. I wanted the dialer skin to have the WM button styles but for the color scheme to fit HTC black. So I went into HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin "Enabled" and set value to 0 and soft reset. The dialer turned out grey and silver and perfect, except for the big white, nasty MS smart dialer window. So I go back into KaiserTweak and it shows that I've set the MS smart dialer to active (instead of the HTC dialer). But I didn't. So I reset it back to the HTC smart dialer and soft reset. Now my dial pad is all ugly blue/green. So I redo the registry skin change and it's silver again, but the WM smart dialer is back. I can't get this darn thing to go away. I've checked the forums and all I can find are posts relating to installing the Touch dialer w/ smart dialer active, but no specific registry keys that control the MS smart dialer. I'm sure this is simple, and I manually scanned the registry for it, but I'm suffering from a bout of stupidity. Help?

Patience, my friend - Rome wasn't built in a day. Someone will have some ideas. I too would like to know the answer to this question, so I will continue to research on my own, and check this thread every day or two to see what develops.
When you press call (Green) key and dial pad opens press Menu - Smart dialing Options
and uncheck Enable Smart Dialing
Still nothing on this!
I'd like to be able to do this too. I'm using Celedial with WM6, and it works well enough, but it does lose focus from time to time when the built-in MS SmartDialer steals focus.
(When I choose Menu->Smart Dialing Options from within cprog.exe, nothing happens, however before I played with the registry, the option within that section was disabled anyway. I think that relates to the HTC Smart Dialer anyway.)

Today "Dial Lookup" - Do NOT intercept ALWAYS keyboard keys. Is that possible?
Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to get focus on the Dial Lookup plugin ("Type a name or a number") only when I've selected it, so when I type with the keyboard it should "wake him up" only if I've selected it?
It will be useful for me so I'll be able to use my keyboard for SPB Diary too...
Thanks!
PS: I'm using the great WM6!!
just unselect it under settings -> today -> items
its hidden now, but when you type in numbers it will pop up

Thanks but I see that you're not getting what I'm asking... I'm asking if there is any way that the plugin should stay on the today, but that when I type numbers they shouldn't "go" to this plugin only if this plugin is selected (focus...).
It's working that way for all the other plugins, that the keyboard is used for the selected plugin only...
Any idea?
ahh, sorry, now i got.
i have kind a like the same with using pocket breeze. can only use the stylus in the plugin itself.
i dont think this will work, even with reg hack. because even if you deactivate this plugin totally and you type in anything, the regular WM5 contacts search will popup anyway.
Thanks for your reply.. Anyone has an idea how to do it?
Right now I`m running a wm 6.5 rom (Phantom Rom`s 4-17 build I think), and I love it. Except that its using the manilla dialer. It has the new 6.5 dialer built in though with manilla running on top. I found out because when the phone is locked with the new 6.5 lock incoming calls use the new 6.5 answer ingnore sliders, and call screen.
Is there a way to unistall the manilla dialer, its cooked in there. I checked the registry to see if there was a quick enable disable in software/htc and software/windows and didn`t find anything.
install advanced config tool, and disable the phone s,in option under'phone' menu
Call History is unreadable

I have made the setting, now i have default windows 6.5 dialer, but the call history list is displayed in white text ... as you can see from the image attached, the history is there (the progress bar on the right), but i cannot read it.
Any hints?

kI had get in the same trouble with pknyo .
had tried to install the advanced config tool but can't find the call history.
I used 6.5 rom diamond default rom
Apologies for restoring the old thread, but I was wondering if any of you managed to figure this out? I have the exact same problem with a WM6.1 ROM on a Blackstone (Touch HD) with white text for the call list (identical issue to the screen shown above).
Edit: After another hour or so of searching, I've found the solution on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523084 - mainly post #7 gives a cab which fixes the problem
(this is for the Blackstone but might work on other devices...)
is there a way to disable windows default incoming call window.
when i use WM6.5 default lockscreen there is a clash between Window Default and HTC incoming call window.
this also causes a delay of 4sec before the phone starts ringing
I have the "Display Message On Screen" unchecked for each of these, but the left softkey still changes to "Notifications" when I have one of these. I would like to disable that.
When I use Manila, it appears to be disabled, but I also know it uses its own reg keys for those softkeys and not the built-in Windows soft keys.
When I use Titanium, I don't need that notification message since I can tap in Titanium to get the message.
I just think its kinda redundant and I'm not sure why Microsoft wants both.
Nobody has any ideas?
I found notification settings under HKLM\System\State\Shell\Notifications.
There are 3 keys in this tree that I think control the display of the Today SK.
I haven't played with the registries but possibly setting Active to "0" would stop the notifications.

Active is a key, not a value you can change (like a string, dword, etc).

Sorry, mine shows Reg_DWORD = 1
I did some research and found that for missed calls (the other types of notifications don't really bother me) one can delete - with resident Mortscript for example - the following reg keys/values (while the notification is active):
HKLM\System\State\Notifications\Active\
"CLSID={A877D660-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}"
and
HKLM\System\State\Notifications\{A877D660-239C-47A7-9304-0D347F580408}\
This effectively removes the "Notification" from left soft key, but leaves the taskbar icon (and skin items / alerts for Phonealarm) intact - which is perfect to my mind.
Using Vodafone v1520 (rebranded Asus P550) with stock WM 6.0 ROM.
I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 from Verizon with all OEM software still. It is running TouchFlo 3D front end on it. Every time i send a text message the notification pops up saying the message was sent. This is annoying bc it wont let me type anything else till it goes. The notification comes up in a window in the center of the screen and it looks like its from windows mobile not from the touchflo. I look through all the setting and changed tons of things and nothing, i went into the registry and it was already set to disable it but it is still there. I think the touchflo is triggering it even though windows says not to.
does any one no how to turn this off?
Yh,
Search for these two apps here at XDA and install:
netcf3.5 & advanced config 3.3 (install in that order). Once these have been installed go in to advanced config, where you will find a setting to disable sent notifications.
If you merely wish to hide them, you should be able to go to sounds/notifications and untick display message on screen for sent text (although doesnt always do it)
great program! has a lot of nice options that i like.... but all the setting to disable the notification are already set to disable... grrr
i think the touchflo software is somehow overriding the windows setting and making it come up.
ok, i guess its not the touchflo... i closed out of touchflo, rebooted and sent a message and it still gives me the notification, even though all setting say not to and reg setting say not to
Ok i figured it out. When I was searching around i kept coming across this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
* Click on Inbox and select Edit -> New Key
* Name the New Key as “Settings“
* Click on “Settings” and select Edit -> New String Value
* On “Value name:“, enter SMSNoSentMsg and in “Value data“, enter 1
* Soft reset your Windows Mobile device and test it with one SMS, and you will notice that the SMS Sent bubble is being disabled
Now when I went to that registry I was already there and already set to "1". The problem I finally found was that it was set as a DWORD and I had to delete it and rewrite it as a STRING. Problem Solved.
I have a HTC HD2 and when the screen is locked, it shows a number 1 (identifying that i have a notification).
When i tap the notification icon, it drops down and shows me the voicemail icon - which means i should have a new voicemail message to listen to.
If i slide the voicemail icon, the phone goes straight to phone book, but when i call my voicemail - there are no new messages...
I have tried everything and i just cant get rid of this voicemail icon! I DO NOT want to do a hard reset.... Please let me know how to sort this out...
Exactly the same problem here! I wonder if it has something to do with PhoneAlarm which I have installed. I didn't notice the '2' before, but it may have been there before installing PhoneAlarm though.
Also, and sorry for hacking your topic, my lock screen sometimes stops to show up; whenever I have installed a cab and soft reset I have to manually adjust the registry to 'lockscreen always on'. Could have something to do with PhoneAlarm as well, but I've checked the lock screen settings in PA.
Oh, and maybe this topic should be moved to the HD2 forum ;-).
