Let me just begin by saying that you all are awesome. I am incredibly impressed you were able to get WM6 working on the Tornado. I have a TMobile SDA (USA). I used Andot's Perfect WM6 ROM to flash. I didn't have any problems other than a few spontaneous reboots after flashing the ROM. I do have a question though.
After flashing, I now cant get my T-Mobile button nor my review, play, and forward buttons(the ones that are on the same row) to work. I would like them to work with media player like they used to. I could give a rat's ass about the T-Mobile button, but it would be nice to be able to assign it or any of those other buttons to a specific function.
Is there a specific customization CAB I was supposed to install for the TMobile SDA (USA) to get those buttons working? How can I use or reassign those buttons?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello atarilynx,
I have your same phone, which is also identical to the sp5m.
go get phil's extras.zip from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1417372&postcount=4
and install the sp5m button fix cab
after that, you can to into wmp and assign the buttons to do their normal tasks.
also, after applying that fix, the t-zones button will open to an ie search page.
Many thanks...
Thanks a bunch...that works for me. You all rock!
Maybe one other question...when I imaged my phone, after it was done, it would reset about every few minutes. Sometimes I would try opening stuff, and it would seem to lock up, then reset.
Things seem to be ok now... I have not had it reset on me once after the first few hours. Did others have that experience too?
Neither of the phones that I've flashed have had that problem.
Both of them being TMob SDAs.
I have no clue why your phone was doing that, hope it got that out of it's system!
actually if you guys notice, it still doesnt work. you will try and configure the fastforward button, but when you try to hold it down, it only sees it as a press, not a hold.
true, the hold and seek feature is lost from those buttons, but you can still do that with the joystick if you must.
I personally have no problem with that as I hardly seek through songs.
something else is still tweaked though, on one of my sda's, i did the button fix then installed the tcpmp shortcuts from mobile.surrealnetworks.com/SDAapps.htm
now the buttons do not line up at all with what they are supposed to do. I think the "previous track" button becomes the play button and whatnot.
maybe phil can come up with a better sp5m fix
or, you know, someone else who actually knows what's going on.
I need to sit down some evening and really dig in and figure out what exactly these fix cabs are doing.
I think you need to find the attribute for WMplayer which is used for seeking forward or backward, then save it as Long_AP#.lnk where # is the button number

In the past, I have had poor luck with assigning a Long_AP command when there wasn't one already set for that button. Not sure if something needs to be added to the registry as well?
Otherwise, I would set long buttons for all sorts of apps :-/
Like, in Andot's rom, I love having the long home go to celetask.
Same, I tried to assign an attribute to long_ap, it did not work, why dont you copy the lnk files from AKU2 ROm ?
That is probably a good suggestion, tho, I still think there is probably more to it . . . I would try it out, but I'm moving in a couple days, and have priorities that must be attended to :-(
i think it has something to do with htcwmpplugin.dll, plus maybe sumthing to do with this registry i found it when i dumped the tmobile rom... and checked the rgu files
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins\{72F3E437-17E6-484E-9C96-13181D4039CB}]
"FriendlyName"="HTC Key Mapping UI Plug-in"
"Description"="HTC Key Mapping UI Plug-in"
"Capabilities"=dword:1
i havent tried most ,too lazy!!! hehehe!
as it has been explained in many posts in the past the htcwmpui plugin is for a homescreen wmp plugin and nothing to do with the buttons
oh ok sorry about that... will it have to do with keybddr.dll then?
What are you guys talking about "assigning attributes" to the long_ap#.lnk?
Are you talking about adding in a command line style switch to change the way the intended application will handle the shortcut?
actualy, i have followed these and othere forums for quite some time and i have yet to see if anyone has figured out how to get the media buttons working on roms were that feature does not come by default

Its not attribute, its parameter/arguments
Yes ! thats what we are talking about
I have created a cab file for the same. but the problem of using the htcwmpplugin is that the keys are mapped differently. the internet explorer key is mapped to the previous button and the play key becomes the previous key.. which is a problem.. that's why i want to know which keypad drivers are being used. The keypad drivers used for tornado music or imate sp5m is a little bit different.
Try using it..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=45775&d=1186047418]
i think i got it... i dumpeed the t-mobile rom took the keybddr.dll folder and incorporated it into andots ppe v6. i also removed the keybddr.dll had in it...
after building it...
i then i copied the sp5m zip files (those short_ap1-4 .lnks) to my windows folder, installed the cab tejasphatak gave here... then it all worked...
the keybddr.dll folder
here is the file incase you guys want it...

i copied the files, then installed the cab, but it's still as if i only installed the cab. the back/reverse buttons works as play and hte play button works as forward and etc...
ah ha amen!
I've searched for months for an answer to removing the system tray on WM5 & WM6
Edit your registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ Software/ HTC/ Trayapplt
Export the Trayapplt string just to be safe you can merge it back if you change your mind.
Once exported delete the Trayapplt string completely and then soft reset your device.
System tray gone and the space is usable
Enjoy
You could have just removed the Init_Tray.lnk in the windows startup folder.
I afraid for most people that doesnt work as they dont even have that link file. I think the difficulty with the system tray is that different people have different circumstances. Some people can remove the int_tray link but If you search the web your'll see a lot of people desperate for a alternative method as they do not have this file on their devices.
It maybe the case that my method may not work for everybody but until someone produces a stable app to remove the system tray we'll keep searching for the best way individually to achieve this.
Sorry, didn't realize that that link didn't exist on all WM devices, but I haven't owned every device to know that. There are however programs that force the system tray such as DotFreds task manager and MyMobiler, etc, which even removing the Init_Tray.lnk doesn't fix because the icons will create their own system tray. Does your fix for it stop them from doing that? If it does, then I might just have to try your fix out for myself.
So far ive been running this setup for 2 days.
I use xcpuscaler which 110% uses a system tray icon whilst running. Ive also minimised many programs and the tray has never reappeared. Im not garenteeing this will work but I do know that its worked perfectly for me.
I hope this helps and if you export the reg as I sugested if the tray doesnt stay hidden for you for some reason then you can always merge it back
Hmm, my kaiser doesn't even have that key so I guess I'm out of luck there. I'm not sure if my wizard does or not, I'm working on cooking a new ROM for it and the ROM I have on it now is kind of messed up. I'll have to check it out when I get my new one cooked though.
fair enough, it seems to be very device related, im talking intensively to a strong programmer to try and sort out something permemantely.
Im running a XDA Orbit (Artemis).
Willl post any findings here
sorry it didnt work for you

that did the trick for me - thanks
Thanks, just joined today and i am now very happy with the fact this hack worked for me
Joined the forum chasing icons and now i think i wont be able to ever leave
Thanks again.....
No TrayApplt in my registry, unfortunately. Still can't figure out how to remove the tray bar on my Vario II (WM5) permanently. Whatever I tried, nothing worked to my satisfaction..
Edit: No Init_Tray.lnk either! Still looking for solutions, every solution is very welcome as long as it works...
Disable system tray for everything

My Tilt doesn't have that key either. I don't use the tray, have it disabled, but Task Manager always creates it again, until I exit Task Manager.
My Wizard doesn't have that key either.
Programs I have found so far that may cause the system tray to appear:
- Dotfred's Task Manager
- My Mobiler
- Pocket Informer
- SOTI's Pocket PC Controller (or similar: I don't recall its name)
- SPB Pocket Plus
All of these can be made to not create a system tray through their respective settings or otherwise, I believe. Currently I have MyMobiler, Dotfred's, Pocket Informer and Pocket Plus installed, and I have no system tray on my Kaiser. The above registry hack didn't work for me.
Hey everyone. I'm new here, and I'm hoping you all can help me.
I just upgraded to WM6, and I'm having difficulties personalizing a few things. On WM5 I used to make complete custom skins for the phone and the today screen. Complete with custom buttons for the phone that changed colors when you pressed them. Now that I "upgraded" (HA!) to WM6, it says I'm not allowed to change those bitmaps to ones of my own!
I've read thread after thread, and found a few that said something about Total Commander letting you change the files, but I just couldn't get that to work either.
Does anyone have an answer for this? I would be forever grateful.
Thanks.
Michael
Have you tried to soft reset and then changing file if not they maybe rename the old file and copy the new file. I suggest first to soft reset and before opening any other app replace your files.
Yeah, I have actually tried that, but it won't let me rename the file. I can highlight the name, but it won't change.
I'm thinking about trying to just go back to WM5, is that possible?
To revert back you would just need a wm5 rom. What files are you trying to replace...maybe I can help.
Thanks, I would really appreciate that.

They're in the "windows" folder.
I've tried using Total Commander, and the other was SDA Application Unlock. Maybe I just don't know how to go about using those programs in the correct manner.
I tried to replace these files and I was successful. What I did was use task manager to close as many processes as possible and then through my Windows Explorer replaced the files. If the system does not allow you to change something it's only because it is in use. Try closing as many processes as you can it should work. Once finished soft reset your device and you should be good to go. I replace many of these files myself so if you can't it must be something that is using the file.
Ok, I tried what you said, but I kept getting errors for apparrently end the wrong processes. I'm not too computer saavy, so who knows what I was turning off. Any Idea what programs might have been using them? Should I take a screenshot of my list of processes for you to please check out for me?
Place a screen shot here of your processes after doing a soft reset and I might be able to tell you which to close.
Ok, here's what I got going on... Thanks again, I REALLY appreciate it!

That looks like the processes from windows not the phone.
oooooohhhhh, ok! How do I get into that on the phone? I'll go check the forums to see if I can figure it out...
Whenever my phone wakes up from a sleep or I end a phone call, three error messages pop up saying that I'm missing three different files.
Yesterday, I installed some weather apps to try out, but I forgot to backup my regs. So when I uninstalled them, they must not have cleaned up too well and still try to run!
Three errors are:
Cannot execute \program files\Outerdepth\KPWeather\KPWeather.exe
Cannot execute \program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\weather.exe
Cannot execute \program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\monitor.exe
I searched the registry and found some registry entries in the Mort process key. Deleted those. Error still persists.
There is nothing in startup like these. No program files to look for because the folders aren't there.
I just want my phone to go back to normal. Preferably without hard reset.
Please help this fool. :'(
EDIT:
Forgot to say, I'm using a Samsung Omnia i910. Upgraded to compact.net framework 3.5, if that is relevant.
Perhaps this would be more appropriate in each packages
thread?
EDIT:
Please refer to these links respectively

Done with it.
I just decided that it was better to hard reset the phone. The trouble and hours I spent on this weren't worth it, and I just wanted to get back to enjoying my phone.
Maybe these posts will get some sort of exposure and have the problem solved so the next person can find it.
I went the same route and hard reset the phone as well. Oh well!
try reinstalling them and then uninstalling them using SKTools
oh.. and then perform a cleanup using SKTools
still..
.. after using SKtools on a Polaris (uninstall, cleaning up, in normal and safe mode, you name it) I still get the same annoying message.
is there any solution to this?
thanx
alex.
That annoys me totaly. SKTools don't fix the problem. I only could fix it with a dummy exe file. But don't have tested it. It would be nice if the coder of
NRG Mini Chome Weather 1.2.1 + Monitor BJ Version.cab

gives us more informations how to uninstall completly.
Never saw an app like that. No registry key, no startup files, but annoying error messages.
Hi there. What's up?
I've been trying to set something up and since there are wise people around here I would like to ask you a question.
I have AT&T's samsung i637 aka Jack. Recently I updated soft with mexican one (from Telcel). It works like a charm. Only problem is Mex soft has little different keyboard mapping. Some keys switched places. And I'm already used to old keyboard+what's printed on keys.
In order to get results I tried to swap eT9*.* and kbdmouse.dll, kbdhid.dll, keypad.dll files from Jack soft and put them into Mexican soft along with appropriate registry editing. Without any luck. Swapping eT9 files is not a problem-everything works as it was. I figured the kbd*.dll and keypad files are the case but each time I swap them the keyboard is completely unresponsive. Like those files were "strange".
My question is: Is there any way to trick system to see "new" files?
Thanks for your help. Cheers.

take a look in the windows folder of your device, are there any "et9.(some name).kmap.txt" files?
if you have them, upload them for me here and tell me which keyboard letters have been changed, then i'll will fix it for you!

it's eT9.samsung_keylayout.txt and I have already tempered with it.
Result -> English keyboard in messages (software). But I'm rather interested in changing the whole thing, hardware keys as well, special buttons for camera and mail (which were swapped) and gps and silence buttons. Can you bring those back?

Do you know me？I always know you.heh~I think it‘s difficult to change the keyboard map. Why not change another ROM or cook by yourself？
well...like said above...tried to swap keyboard files...
about cooking...it's very hard for a noob to cook since I cannot find any proper guide with all the commands and stuff

My name is 忠杰者 form 爱三星论坛. Did you remember？ You can look for your I637‘s kitchen to cook ROM. You could obtain from the ROM maker.
there's not i637 kitchen...it's only i617 - told to be the same. but no Noobie noob guide

I figured out that much by myself but thanks anyway. What I meant was fact I got used to old keyboard with gps, silence and hardware + in place. I not able to cook my own rom...I think I'm gonna lose the phone.
