1.htc smart dial is a must program to make you life easier while dialing numbers from the keypad.p.s(work perfectly on my P525)
2.torch lite, to use the external flash as torch lite at night.
i noticed that the music sound a bit low (comparing to xda mini) so
3.use gsplayer it has very powerfull sound and equalizer or 40th iplay(better then tcpmp 0.81,coreplayer,pocketplayer,simpletune,and window media player.All the programs have been hardly tested by me). I recomand 40th iplay for the nice graphics and the very good sound quality.
4.pocketalarm the best for setting the ringtones and the profiles (i dont recomand to play with advanced settings )
here is some screen shots from the p525

Which version of smartdial is this?
bkb
there is couple of programs that can do that tweak such as tweak2k2 or sktools or easy tweak (or you can edit the registry manualy)(search the forum for the list of manual tweak).
trambakoulas
smartdial is 1.0 .
the attached file is:
SmartDialing is 2.5 build 24516 Full
work good on p525
Hi,
I tried installing the smartdial thing on my P525, but it doesn't seem to work entirely. When pressing the phone button, I get the normal phone app. In the menu it does show "Smart Dialing Options", and in the about screen of it, it says it's from HTC, so it seems like something happened. But it doesn't show any of my contacts unfortunately. Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!

Does coolcamera give better images?
Hi there,
Does coolcamera give better images? I'm very lousy at keeping the phone stead, so more often than not I get blurry photos. So if the app has some digital stabilization code in it that would be awesome!

Hi folks,
today I' ve got my Excalibur back from my colleague. After updating new WM6 I tried to find out how the Music Player Plugin works.
The first result you can find in the screenshot.
Ok, let's start:
- Copy the following lines from the T-MobileDefaultBlue.home.xml
<!-- Music Player -->
<plugin clsid="{166B4205-4D6C-46d7-AA10-9647198FBF65}" name="Music Player" height="22"/>
<plugin clsid="{A502A403-48E4-48b6-A0E8-75633F493F01}" name="SPN Name" height="25" >
</plugin>
to your own homescreen.xml.
- Copy all files beginning with "mpt_....." and the files
Music Plugin Swith.lnk
MusicPlayerGridView.exe
MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll to Windows folder.
- Edit HKLM-Software-HTC-MusicPlayerPlugin (key exists on my S710) and add the following value:
Value: HomeLayout
Value Data: \Application Data\Home\<yourscreen>.home.xml
Value Type: REG SZ
- Register the MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll with regsrvceGUI.exe.
After rebooting your homescreen looks like my screenshot.
Problem: you can choose the plugin but the title, remaining time and volume won't be displayed. Only working part is the media player icon on the right (starts media player).
Any ideas what's missing ?

I will se what i can do
would also like to have the files in question
Hi,
here are the files: KLICK
Newchurch
I got some text, but it wont contact wmp. I'll see what i can do tomorrow. (its late here in Norway now )
WMP plugin
Anyone had any joy with this one - would be nice to have a WMP plugin on the homescreen that works..
Operators are given one as part of the adaption tool kit... its a source code example...
anyone has accesss? and can complie it for us?
Hi,
I had a look at this. The missing piece is the media player plugin registration. Putting it all together in one place, this is what is needed.
1.
Insert the following text into your home screen xml file. Put it after the <plugin>...</plugin> pair where you want the media player control to show up. I put it after the carrier section. You can use the liveexample.home.xml file in the archive available here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/37201289/plugin.rar.html
<!-- Music Player -->
<plugin clsid="{166B4205-4D6C-46d7-AA10-9647198FBF65}" name="Music Player" height="22"/>
<plugin clsid="{A502A403-48E4-48b6-A0E8-75633F493F01}" name="SPN Name" height="25" >
</plugin>
2.
Copy all files in the archive to \windows. These are the various graphics, Music Plugin Switch.lnk, MusicPlayerGridView.exe, and also WmpPluginToday.dll
Next, you need to do a bunch of registry edits (not for the faint of heart). For MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll you could also just register it with regsrvGUI.exe included in the archive.
3.
Create key HKLM\Software\HTC\MusicPlayerPlugin (key may or may not exist) and add the following:
-Add string "HomeLayout" with value "\Application Data\Home\<your today file>home.xml"
(for example "\Application Data\Home\liveexample.home.xml")
-Add DWORD "ClientUIShowOff" with value 1
4.
Register the MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll with regsrvceGUI.exe -OR- make the following registry edits:
Create key HKCR\CLSID\{166B4205-4D6C-46d7-AA10-9647198FBF65}
Creake subkey InprocServer32, and make its default value "MusicPlayerHomePlugin.dll"
5.
Creake key HKCR\CLSID\{DAD087AB-1E2F-4b3b-BB5F-0F4D6AB630F8}
Creake subkey InprocServer32, and make its default value "WmpPluginToday.dll"
6.
Create key HKCR\MusicPlayerApp
Create subkey SelectIcon and make it's default value "MusicPlayerGridView.exe,-229"
Create subkey DefaultIcon and make it's default value "MusicPlayerGridView.exe,-230"
7.
Create key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins
Create subkey {DAD087AB-1E2F-4b3b-BB5F-0F4D6AB630F8}
-Add strings "FriendlyName"="HTC WMP Plug-in Today" and "Description"="HTC WMP Plug-in Today"
-Add DWORD "Capabilities" with value 1
Create subkey {A13C7005-B7BD-4f0f-B496-A830EAF8DB32} (I'm not actually sure this is needed)
-Add DWORD "Capabilities" with value 42000001
8.
Reboot
That's it. Works great. Enjoy
Dave

Hello, could make you a file .CAB

I agree with MathieuG... I've done all what described in the instruction, but I had no effect of it... If somebody does the *.CAB, i'll be very happy
Thanks darkfinger! Works like a charm on the Vox!
Cab
Ive tried to make an cab included the given RegKeys,but even not work on my Phone,...Tornado with IphoneRom.Maybe work on other Phones?Or maybe an Installation-Bug?give it a try,i hope,ive placed all regkeys....
add:File Updated!!Hope it will work better now... thanks to rickwyatt for the missing dll...
There is an error you has to forget to put the file WmpPluginToday.dll in the .CAB
cab
of course not, these are all the original files given by Newchurch expect the regsrvce.exe-files, and the regtweaks given by Darkfinger...have you reboot btw register the .dll manually?You have to reboot your Phone and choose the WMPlug homescreen in settings...but the Buttons dont work on my phone anyway...

This Kitchen has built in AT&T customize on first install and on HR, if you don't need it just remove the OEMOPERATORS FOLDER from the OEM Folder.
This build contains SYS and ROM in "Part #1" and OEM packages in "Part #2"
This Kitchen is so complete I had to break into 2 parts. Download and extract both parts and put all files and folders into one directory to use.
I am not responsible if you don't know what you are doing and brick your phone, but in the spirit of XDA-Developers I am sure someone here willing to help!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Latest SYS and ROM (part1) Ver8.1.0
Latest OEM Packages (part2) Ver8.1.0
Version Information:
ALL "call home" issues have been castrated! No more Customer feedback.
SDHS Memory should be full supported now! Seems to have always been present in the Official MS Wizard ROM.
All Phone issues resolved! Use the proper radio for your carrier and phone.
Wifi Issues resolved! Automatically connect to preferred networks.
Connect to Internet Via Active Sync.
For Clarification:
1) This is the original InGeNeTiCs' ROM all I did in this Version is strip out the "call home" stuff, added a few dlls that were missing but were needed for some of the HTC/touch apps (these files can be found in sys/missing files).
2) There are two OEMOPERATORS folders, one in OEM and one in SYS the one in OEM is one I put there as a example of how you can add your own cab files for settings, splash screen or whatever it is you need simply edit the config.txt file and put whatever files in the files you need. *I am not going to to into great detail how to do this all it takes is a little common since. You can delete mine if you like.
3) There are no hidden, super secret, xda-elite only, make my Wizard fly, bull**** tweaks included. just a clean, won't leave a bad taste in your mouth unless you burn it, Kitchen.
4) My only reason for creating this kitchen is to prove that the "InGeNeTiCs'- Official Microsoft-Made Specifically for the Wizard-Drivers and all ROM" is as solid and stable as any other ROM or kitchen out there if done right. Other than all I did is create and add a lot of OEM packages so you could have choices in life.
The base is like Coca-Cola "Original".
Everything works as it should the only limitations are M$ related!
This has been a fun ride but the ride seems to have come to an end.
This release is so stable that I can not bear to call it a beta anymore.
A HUGE THANK YOU to all that have contributed to this project. In the end I'm sure we all wanted WM6 but we wanted a stable version that didn't crash, lock up, and just plain ol' worked!
Credits to the ones that made the tools to make this possible: faria, anichillus, bepe and mattk_r for asking me to take the plunge.
The testers, who without their reports this would not have been possible:
Russ741, calouro, masr1979, shadezero, monkey_knight, nothin, epimazzo, afoldats, Tony Simmonds, charly_mx, Cing 8125, jorge_culv, 13rick, fix_it_2000, RevAtB, amsatnetg, hiazle, ANTC, pencilcase, xeno1, 4irm and all the others.
Thanks! Noonski for the DUO ROM dump

hi
can i bea beta tester can you send me the liknk to download
First Thoughts.....
This ROM looks to be more stable than the last one, and also I see that the reboot slowdown issue is non-existent.(It would slow down horribly on the 3rd-or-so reboot/SR) Overall, faster.
HTC AudioManager + Recorder are NOT working, but maybe that's just a package issue (I used one of my packages I had lying around). Pretty much that's it.
Wi-Fi is OK, nothing major. No phone issues as of yet.
I did not test the Home Plugin because I used my 6-tab plug. That works quite well.App Launching is a little bit faster, or maybe that would just be me
Word completion works,KB is fine (tested in Notes)
I would give it a 9.5/10 (only because of no Touch camera ,otherwise, it rocks!)
Thanks for your input!

Do you know of a working 4. camera package or one in a pre-built Wizard ROM?
Do you have a Home Plugin OEM to incorporated?

This works with the included *cities.xml file. The PNGs are compressed to increase speed. Works fine. It's in color.
Got AM working (my mistake, used a wrong package) but VoiceRec is still offline. Not that I use it all that much.
I think I have a bug : you need to have WMP installed to get AM working.
EDIT: New package with "Pro" icons added.

Remove clock and put battery indicator on top instead (if you press & hold it will bring up power/battery tab).
Add day and date to touch home plug-in you can change it to display as you like:
dddd will give you day of week as a word as in "Thursday", dd will give you date style (numeric day of the month) as in "30" without quotes of course.
The same is true for month mmmm and year yyyy so experiment!

HTC WMP today plug in
I added a bunch of packages to the kitchen and have de-bugged most of them, this one I can't find. During the OS Build the process errors out at "OEM\HTC WMP Today Plug-in" with a dialog that says "The file 'temp\dump\WmpPluginToday.dll' already exists. Know I know this is telling me that a previous package has used this dll flile, what I can't find is which one it is!
Any input greatly appriciated.

HTC X-Button 1.5 offers nothing more over 1.0. 1.0 works fine with this ROM ver 5.0 (I use it)
But, if you really want it ,try mattk's package.

Ok, I already took both the 1.5 ver out of OEM. Now its complaining about sys/touchflo.dll.
edit; NOob error... left both touchflo and non-touchflo enabled in the build... fixed.
Have you built with the NON-TouchFlo dll selected?

1st flash test report
Ok,
So I got the build to run with Merlin's help (thank you Sir). Flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26, up to IPL/SPL 3.08 and GSM 2.69.11 then the kitchen build.
First the good news:
1. For the first time in a dozen or so ROMs I have flashed Voice Command workes flawlessly! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
2. Basic functions work good, no glaring errors.
3. As theloon noted, the backlight controls will not lock the wizard.
The bad news:
1. If I attempt to launch any CAB file (including the 2.69 radio fix) I get a message saying "CAB failed to load"
2. see #3 above, it doesnt lock the wizard, it however will not open backlight control either. recommend taking this out of the launcher and just leave it in the settings page.
3. HTC Audio manager, if I attempt to open any audio file I immediatly get a message saying "critically low on system memory..." WMP still works fine.
4. The dastardly weather application doenst like the XML file i built for it. I wish there was a way to test that without building. (see questions below)
5. I used merlin's 6 button HTC home plug in, looks very nice BTW, couldnt do much testing on it since my contacts DB is at work. My only negative on this one, the musical note icon (far right) is very hard to see. I dont know who did the icon art but perhaps we could find a better icon?
6. I tried loading the AT&T extended ROM as part of this build, bad idea. The flash gets to 5% and crashes... took it out, flashes fine.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to test the weather XML file without building it into the ROM? IE: If i build the the ROM with the weather XML file included in the build I can only edit it. I cant delete, replace etc. So I was thinking that if I took it out of the build and put the file in after, maybe I could speed up testing.
2. Several of the packages dont seem to have any output, IE: the WMP home plug in, I dont see anything on the home screen that relates to WMP?
So there it is, I have to re-flash to a fully working ROM before I go to work tomorrow. I will be on line all day (from my office) so post away..
thanks Loon for letting me test this, great fun!

LOL? I think not dear Senior Member... I have tried every possible way to delete that file, stop the plug included. The file properties say "included in ROM" and will not allow changes to file prop. Thats why I asked about building without it, so the file properties would allow changes.

Ok,
So I got the build to run with Merlin's help (thank you Sir). Flashed back to T-Mobile 2.26, up to IPL/SPL 3.08 and GSM 2.69.11 then the kitchen build.
First the good news:
1. For the first time in a dozen or so ROMs I have flashed Voice Command workes flawlessly! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
2. Basic functions work good, no glaring errors.
3. As theloon noted, the backlight controls will not lock the wizard.
The bad news:
1. If I attempt to launch any CAB file (including the 2.69 radio fix) I get a message saying "CAB failed to load"
2. see #3 above, it doesn't lock the wizard, it however will not open backlight control either. recommend taking this out of the launcher and just leave it in the settings page.
3. HTC Audio manager, if I attempt to open any audio file I immediatly get a message saying "critically low on system memory..." WMP still works fine.
4. The dastardly weather application doenst like the XML file i built for it. I wish there was a way to test that without building. (see questions below)
5. I used merlin's 6 button HTC home plug in, looks very nice BTW, couldnt do much testing on it since my contacts DB is at work. My only negative on this one, the musical note icon (far right) is very hard to see. I dont know who did the icon art but perhaps we could find a better icon?
6. I tried loading the AT&T extended ROM as part of this build, bad idea. The flash gets to 5% and crashes... took it out, flashes fine.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to test the weather XML file without building it into the ROM? IE: If i build the the ROM with the weather XML file included in the build I can only edit it. I cant delete, replace etc. So I was thinking that if I took it out of the build and put the file in after, maybe I could speed up testing.
2. Several of the packages dont seem to have any output, IE: the WMP home plug in, I dont see anything on the home screen that relates to WMP?
So there it is, I have to re-flash to a fully working ROM before I go to work tomorrow. I will be on line all day (from my office) so post away..
thanks Loon for letting me test this, great fun!

What I can deduce from your observations all/most of your "hanging" problems seem to stem from the final size when you build your ROM.
I have experienced this myself, the max size for a wizard rom is around 56 MB for the ROM, but that does not include Boot loaders, Radio and Extended ROM.
In my case my phone is locked so the "customize" just uses storage/program space and does some reg tweaks.
If you want more space in your build you can use the compression tools located elsewhere in this forum.
As for the Home Plug weather XML make sure it's attributes are not set to "read only" and you should be able to exchange them at will and SR to test there usability.
My HTC Audio Manager works flawlessly not sure what you did! be careful using other OEM packages, the ones I included in this beta were designed and tested to work with this beta.
FYI HTC Audio Manager was built using Windows Media SDK so it uses components of WMP (dlls and such), I will probably move those components to different directories.
Backlight is a matter of a redirect/link.
Feel free to fix any/all issues and post for everyone to test!!!

Just read the thread and follow the steps it is fantastic

Summary of how to install & the setting as follow :
Installation
OK , Here's what I did:
1. Install Flas Lite 2.1 for PPC WM5 Cab into Main memory.
2. Install Szabi cab launcher cab to main memory
3. Copy Cube config directory to Storage card ( to save memory)
4. run cube config exe to config cub screen - Hint: save change after fill each screen ( there's a bug in the config that did not save properly)
5. Launch the cube and enjoy
Settings:
1. Click config screen, click on Screen req config ie, P1 Phone, P2 contacts...
2. Click on 1 on 6 round Location radio buton ( represent cell in the cube)
3. Navigate to Program/Shortcut - hit Browse button to select link, exe of program for the cube .
4. Do same for Icon- select desired icon ( you can put all icons I've posted earlier in one directory/Storage location)
5. Name the program with desired texts.
6, Repeat and do the same for all cells in selected cube.
7. Important- saved the cube now ( use Exit --> save option ) before do the next cube screen. I've notice sometimes the save option still dows not save all cells info - Well it's a beta release...
8. Launch Cube, If you hit the clock then it will disappeared.
You can click on the center bottom third lower screen to actvate the cube, or sliding downward with your finger to activate it. To exit the front screen- hit the right blue bar button.
In the cude, use finger gestures to move cubes left/ right or downward to return to the front screen.
BTW, you can always use the DPAD buttons to navigate the cube too !
Not sure, but if you install the touchcube in the main memory, then try in Program files\Szabi\CubeLaunche directory -
run the file Cube_config.exe to config the cube...
To exit the cube ( Cube screen) tab just below the cube ( where the texts are ie, Programs, office, etc... ).
To exit the cube at the clock/front screen - tab the blue bars.
Yes, sometimes I've noticed the title bar does not appeared - just hit the green phone button to get the dialer, and use it.

Step 4. Place your phone into flightmode.
Step 5. Go back to the MyFirstROM folder and then run USPL.exe
Step 6. Follow the directions on the screen. EXACTLY.
* Your screen on your cell phone will go white around the 75% part of the "second step" now.
* ActiveSync will LOOSE its connection.
Step 7. One step 3 on that black window, the RUU flasher will pop up. Just follow the steps.
That's it. Welcome to the flasher's world.

Enjoy,
Snap Shots/Cabs
Here are some cabs that most people tend to use.
A lot of people asked for the splash screen and radio from v3.0, so here it is...
You need to flash it the same way you would with any rom, it will only update the splash screen and radio and not the actual rom/OS.
Open Touch v3.0 Splash and Raido
Goals
Create a rom that will offer the following to end users.
Faster
Any body can build a rom faster than the stock one, but will it be more stable?
Looks slick
A phone that will have an interface your proud to show off to your family and friends.
Storage
Extra storage space in case you were not able to buy a sd card.
Easy to use
Comes with apps already install so people do not have to waste too much time downloading extra apps and etc.
Stable
A rom that you will not have to soft reset daily. Fixing common issues found with the original rom.
Fun
A rom with extra games so when your stuck some where and there is nothing to do, you can always play games.
finally!!
CANTT WAITT TIL it comes out...
So excited now, just can't wait to get my hands on it!!
so is this done or not? im lost.
