Three things i want to do on my QTEK 8310

Hello everyone I have 3 problems that I need to solve i have a QTEK 8310 (HTC tornado):
Here they are:
1) Home screen:
I want to design similar home screen to this one, here is a picture of what I want to get or do exactly:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Can someone design me a home screen xml or help me to do one or help me to find one like the one of my dreams.
2) Personalize the start menu:
As you all notice there are several icons for M$ applications like the camera, task manager, midlet manager, video recorder, available in the start menu. Basically I want to put them all in one directory in the start menu. This way I can gather system apps in one folder and multimedia apps in an other one witch will allow me to put more useful shortcut at the start menu root. BUT here is the problem whenever I try to move one of the M$ apps shortcut I get access denied .
Can someone tell me a workaround for this problem?
3) "Delivery Report" for this "#%$*&!" MMS COMPOSER application:
Here is my third problem, this one as been bugging me even under WM2003.
For some unknown reason "Delivery Report" or "Read report" Never worked for me after i sent a MMS. The person on the other side does receive the MMS but for some reason the "delivery report" NEVER comes even though the option are checked:
Here I’m not crazy:
The MMS does arrive (I asked the person I sent the MMS to) they even replied me. But I never receive the delivery report. Apparently I have a friend who is under an other phone provider and also as a WM2005 device (SPV M3000 : HTC wizard) And he as the exact same problem no delivery report even if when the option is checked.
So here is my question as someone in the world ever manage to get a Delivery Report from a MMS he sent under a Windows Mobile OS that use "MMS COMPOSER" to send the message?
And if someone know a solution for this problem please tell me.
I hope someone will be able to help me to at least one of the 3 problems.
Thank you in advance and happy New Year.

PLUGIN Request: Simple Phone Status

EDIT: Seemed to have screwed up BBCode on this post while trying to edit :S
see new post below!

I've been looking for along time for a very simple plugin, but it doesn’t seem to have been made. I have considered writing it myself, but looking at articles it seems the programming experience I have (developing web applications) is largely irrelevant
The closest plugin I have found to do what I want is called PhoneToday (see below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The plugin I’d really like is as such:
The left hand icon is of a little phone (like PhoneToday) and on the right of the icon is the Operator Name and nothing else. Tapping this line does nothing.
On the second line on the left is the e-mail icon from messaging app (Is it possible to have two icons for one today plugin?) which says SMS: x/y (where x is unread messages and y is the total in the inbox and subfolders – the total bit is important) tapping this line should open the SMS inbox. The text would be bold if there was a new message.
Below that line (with no left hand icon) it would say ‘No missed calls’ if there had been no missed calls and X missed calls if there had. The text would be bold if there had been a missed call. Tapping this line should open the call log.
The above would just be perfect…as I have a *very* busy schedule and love being able to see it all on one page – which requires my today screen to be pretty empty!
If anyone was feeling the need to extend the plug-in it would also be really good if you could choose to add extra lines for each different mailbox (MMS, IMAP, Exchange/ActiveSync) and maybe add some options for changing fonts/icons…I dunno!
I would be really made up if anyone (apart from JGUI – you have caused me to hard reset twice now…I don’t like you) would be able to make a nice simple plugin like this or knows of one I’ve missed.
Thanks *very* much

alternative speed dial app

I've been getting more and more annoyed with the standard speed dial in wm5. You have to press on the the relatively small number to dial the contact, cause if you tap the name you go to the edit part. Besides that it just looks really dull and doesnt match any theme.
Does anyone know of an alternative app for this? Preferably something you can get or make skins for...
(I have searched google and this site for hours btw)
thanks,
Robert

not quite sure what you are refering to, do you mean you would like bigger numbers on the dial pad? if so do a search for the eten dialer.
Maybe you would prefer a photo dialer? there are plenty around.
Alternatively try searching for MS voice command it is so easy to use and that is the only way i 'dial' numbers.

No i mean the actual speed dial part. It kind of looks like this:
1. Voicemail
1233
2. John Smith
1234567890
etc.
What i find annoying is that you have to press on the speeddial number (so like 2. for john smith), instead of the name. If you tap the name it brings up the edit screen. Besides that it looks very dull (grey and white).
I see what you mean about a photo dialer, but i dont want to use up precious space on the today screen.
Therefore i was hoping there might be some other app around, preferably one you can customize with skins or something. I haven't been able to find anything so I guess there isn't?
Maybe i should try asking in the Development and Hacking forum? Maybe someone there can put something together? I cant imagine it would be too complicated? Or am i asking(expecting) too much?

You like these?
This speed dial is the one I got in my E-ten, doesn't look great, though works beatifully!
I love to use this one in the car.
Couldn't find it in the extended dir but I could extract it and make you a cab if you like it.

if you could?
this looks promising

in-call screen --> Manipulate?

Samsung JACK running WM6.5
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there any way to manipulate the in-call screen? It puts up this tiny little picture and the rest is this weird blue/gray nothing. It seems as if it would be much better to have the picture much bigger, or include some additional contact information, or just better utilize the space.
Anybody know how to mod this?

Contact picture on incoming call
I found an answer here:
Samsung SGH-i200 - FAQ - 4PDA
Is it possible to increase the contact picture on incoming call by regular means, ie no extra software?

If you disable Samsung-style dialer the photo caller is displayed on the screen size.

In Registry change:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin: Enabled to 0
PS this is nothing more than a trip samsungovskoy "dialer"

Our try "PHOTO CONTACTS PRO WM Smartphone Edition".

Thanks.
But, it doesn't seem to change anything. The phone still looks the same with incoming our outgoing calls.
Is there a template or something that I need to change? Is there a "skin" file that I can tweak?

Does anybody know what the .cpr file is for the in-call screen? That's all I'm looking for, and I'm striking out.

if i remember right its extcall.dll, dialog "MS_PHONE_CONTACTPICTURE" i've made some small attempts in the past but wasn't to driven to try to make it work. hopes this helps you.
or... you can give this a try, i can't tell you if it'll work for you or not.

Thanks.
It is a lot more complex than I thought. I've never edited .dll's before... and spending the last day or so trying to get it to work isn't taking me very far.
I might keep trying, but I think I need some assistance. Feel like a bull in a china shop right now, just feeling my way through and not very successfully.

I can't get it to work with my BJ2 either. Any other ideas?

Dialer Applications

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??
The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...
Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)
I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...
Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.
Thank you all for your input.
Chad

check out superdial

There is 2 in the market place at the moment,
1 that is a paid version but says it's for chinese users but we can use it still and the 2nd one has bugs in it and isn't being continued?

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.

Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.

wow this is actually better than atakephone, i kinda regret paying for it now!

I always had hard time searching contacts to dial.
I used modified acontacts on my donuts. But im now using Dialer One.
It have call log, dialer. contacts at once. easy to use. and its Free
Try it

Going to try Youlu and Dialer one out right now and see which one I like better!

Another vote for Superdial. I've been using it for a few months now, can't live without it. It's definitely one of the best dialers out there.
My main concern is having quick and easy access to contacts without having to click through 17 menus to get to them. I simply start spelling the name of the contact and it appears, tap their name and it's calling. Takes a mere 2 seconds before I'm calling the person I want.
