Hi all,
I own a Vodafone VDA V (=HTC Vox). I have chosen the Windows standard start page with standard color scheme and standard background.
Everything appears fine, but only the backgound picture of the startmenue (where all the programs and preferences are) is still the "striped" greyish vodafone background.
Any ideas how to change this in the registry and what the name of the standard background picture is to which I then would referr to in the registry?!
TIA
All the standard icons are on the vodafone rom to get them there are 2 ways easy or registry changing
Now if you are really lazy and want to clear all your vodafone icons and change the start menu order then try the following app IBE tweaks ,
choose the image options in the menu
Now change the following for the icons
input phone number up .... windows\ms_mobile.gif , that gets rid of the grey vodafone icon and gives you the smartphone strip
for warnings ect ...
error promt ...windows\yell.gif
warning promt'...windows\yell.gif
information promt ... windows\info.gif
question promt ...windows\ques.gif
earphone volume ...windows\volume.gif
To get rid of the grey smartphone start menu background change start menu option to a photo you own , then choose save , after that go back and delete the startmenu option you just did and it will make the start menu go back to the original windows mobile colours
choose other options/menu startmenu sequence to change the start menu to what you want
The call screen has to be edited with a good reg editor go to ...
HKLM\security\phone\skin\PROGRESS\portrait\other and change the bmpnormal to cprogback.png
then go back and do the same in landscape and you will have the nice jet black calling backround
the application IBE tweaks comes with a 3 day trial so enough time to change your vodafone icons and start up screens if you want that changed as well just the reg needed for the calling screen

You can also do the above through resco registry ( as i did ) or simular but it takes longer
dont forget when you have finished back up your phone with sprite so if you hard reset it then its quick to get it back to vodafone free mode
problem solved
@wabbit
Can you please give a pointer to the registry keys to edit instead of using the tweak tool? Many thanks!

Yes please, describe how to change above mentioned with registry editor instead of ibe!
TIA
you can simply use the Modaco de-brand tool for free
i used it on my voda french and everything is ok, just bootscreen
HTML:
http://www.modaco.com/SPV-E650-de-Brand-Fix-P-t255845.html
the e650 de brand tool does not work as it adds folders that are not on the vodafone version which has alot of programmes in media which is not on the rom , you can use it but then you need to use a good explorer exe to delete the incorrect icons and folders , using the app i stated which has a 3 day trial ( enough time to change the icons and then delete it as the app is not required anymore )
well, it worked fine for me, it just added a java shortcut that doesn't work...
i'm still searching for a tool to remove ugly 'welcome' and 'good-bye' screens
Getting rid of the Vodafone welcome and good-bye screens would indeed be very nice
Thanks to wabbit - awesome!!
I got an "Access Denied" when I tried to alter my call screen through the registry (using MobileRegistryEditor.exe) but I guess my phone's locked? I need to research that more. Might explain why some other stuff that I've tried doing had little effect
Quick search of the forum later and phone app unlocked and the final bit done. Nice one!!
Sadly my vodafone s710 is being repaired as the joypad fell off as soon as i get it back i will post all the reg keys needed so you can tweak it yourselfs including removing the vodafone startup and shutdown screens
Vodafone screens
Any news for the voda on and off screens ??
Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard Tornado Hybrid

I am glad to be able to find the time to assemble and cook this ROM. A "Very Special Thank You" to GnatGoSplat for providing the base ROM, assistance and encouragement. A "BIG Thank You" too to RickWyatt for helping me out with my first ROM release sometime back. Thank you to everybody else who are willing and brave enough to flash this ROM to your device. I hope you enjoy this ROM as much as I enjoyed cooking it.
As I am quite busy, support from me will be intermittent and difficult to come by. I hope experienced forum members and cookers can give a helping hand. Please use KarHoe's (great work man!) fantastic Guide to flash the ROM. (Best result when "format BINFS" is done.)
The significant feature of this release is the XIP 20202 from Vox. Please see the benchmark data below for comparison.

Flashed this rom a couple of minutes ago.
Seems to work fine, liked homescreen in previous release more, so will try to shape it the way i want.
I just flashed my test phone and it works REALLY fast compared to previous 6.0 on it! is there any way to modify the clock font size and type to look like the one on HTC Home?
Anyway, awesome work!
Now i just need to find how to put Hebrew on this thing, cause letters are coming as squares again
Any chance you could check my post on the smartphone general regarding how to dump a rom and extract hebrew from it ?

Hi.
I found this cab file which contains a homescreen that looks very much like the HTC Home app but it's in turkish.
http://gazete.yerbilimleri.com/htc-176x220-smartphone-tema/
I've managed to download and install the cab file but I've got big letters behind the clock and i think i may need some kind of plugin or something needs doing after install.
Can someone who can either translate turkish or has this running OK, please give me a clue? I'm on a HP 514...
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Turkish -> English
1) Install cab file.
2) Restart your phone.
You can use this homescreen with ipaq 514..
Is that real or are you taking the pi$$?
I've installed it ok but there's some big text behind the clock and I wondered if anything was telling you how to get rid of it...?
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Like this...
Smiffy.
Not said anything for this problem. Only install cab file and then restart your phone.
Did you restart your phone?
I did - no luck...i'll find it eventually
Thanks for looking
Bwahahaha
I sussed it. I edited the XML file for the screen layout and it was because the font was set size 11,4.
Now, I don't know what locale the homescreen was designed for but in the UK, a comma (,) is not used as decimal seperator so once i changed it to 11.4, it worked OK
I like it
Smiffy.

Reset your font size.
Are you using a Leo based ROM?
this is for wwe roms, right? or is it multilanguage?
I need it for a german rom. somebody has an 0407?
I have the same issue: The font size of the sms text is VERY VERY small.
Note :
- This occurs only when answering a sms and not when you write a new sms.
- Changing font size has no effect on this (it just displays the sms you are trying to answer in a bigger font not the one you are writing)

Hi,
I've just installed this fix on my TD2 which is running Dutty's Leo 2.5 HG R0 ROM, and haven't noticed any difference in the speed at which the SMS threaded list built up, although the phone is now responsive whilst building up the list so I can write an SMS while the list finishes building up, so there is some improvement!
I do however have one issue/bug, that hasn't been mentioned in this thread yet. I now get the some extra text added to end of each message in the threaded conversation just before the date and time are shown (please see attached image), the text reads "- GSM"
Any ideas why I have this extra text and how to get rid of it? it only appears in the threaded view, not on the single message preview when you first press on the message tab, and not when you select "all messages" when in Conversation mode, but if you switch to traditional mode in "all messages" the "- GSM" appears again.
I try meny Rom`s for my I600 but all of them somethink is not work or baterry go down quick.
Can you tell me 1 Fully working rom (6.5 or 6.1) With BT work.

Great but i don't know how to import *.reg file in TC :/
I can't wait next relase
Best regards =]
Hello Everybody !
Please test this new build.

2) Try to fix messages problem. But still no result. Maybe after hard-reset.
I have added some rgu-s, maybe they where not applied during the first start
>>> Total Cmd, mesRGU <<<
MMS/SMS FIX:
1) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\MsgTypes\IPM\Note\DLL emform.dll change to htmlnote.dll
2) HKCU\Sofware\Microsoft\Inbox\MsgTypes\IPM\SMStext\DLL mms.dll change to htmlnote.dll

The last words about these build.
In a few weeks i'll stop building any build.
Well, maybe sometime will.. but not as often like now.
The main agrue is linux. i've switched to it. and i don't want to run win soft on any Wines etc.
Hmmm strange - i can't add picture to mms
also i can't open sms/mms settings
I can't make a videocall also
Keyboard Layout
Hi, I wanted to ask how to change the keyboard layout.
I have a german QWERTZ keyboard. I can activate German T9 but most of the symbols are not mapped correct, that's why I'm looking to change the mapping in the registry. I already found the path to some keyboard-related settings, but not the right values to insert for other languages.
Anyone got a clue how to perform this? Thanks!!
