How to show operator in SPB mobile shell 3.0 ? - General Questions and Answers

I had changed mobile operator to Telefonica/O2, which uses national roaming of T-mobile where his own signal is unavailable. For that reason, i want to have current operator displayed onscreen, i´m using SPB mobile shell 3 and there´s no such option.
I did found this thread
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=24659&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
where user "strop" suggesting
Create new widget in registry using phm or the like, see attachment.
Add OperatorName.xml to your qa_layouts.dat file.
Soft Reset
Should be available in widget list.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
But how do i add OperatorName.xml to qa_layouts.dat ?
I tried to edit the file but i see only meaningless symbols.
Or is there any other way tho show operator name ?
Maybe in taskbar ?
Hope someone can help...

nice but maybe it is my 750....The only time I see the phone pad "1st pic listed in your link" is when I answer a call, then immediately it disappears and shows the caller id and time being used.
How can I use this dialpad to stay open? The only dial pad I can access its via Menu > Dial pad but only shows number keys and not "Speed Dial", "Call History", "Talk" buttons.
To see the original wm5 dialpad you don't must be on the today screen.
In example go to inbox message and press the green pad you will see the wm5 dialpad and not the treo one.
You can easily find that PhoneDialer_enUS.dll has resources of Treo's dial pad when you check all resource files as I posted.
You can change dial pad as follows if you modify these resources.
This is only a test, so very ugry though...
Hi,

You can get this file by dumping NBH file.
I used another method though.

How 2 change vodafone start menue background to standard?

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 ??

Replace HTC cube by SPB Mobile shell 2, how???

I have an HTC touch cruise with the HTC cube !
I would like to remove the cube and have the "SPB mobile shell 2.0" showing up when I slide my finder from bottom to top !!
Is this even posisble ?
Anyone has an idea on how to do it!
Thanks a lot
Dag
I disabled the cube in the registry and just used Mobile Shell's default top-to-bottom drag to activate, but yeah...it'd be neat to be able to swipe from the bottom up to activate Mobile Shell. Email them and ask for it to be added -- perhaps we'll get it in 2.1...

I made a change so a slide up activates mobile shell 2. you need to just vjbrisk - works perfectly.
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJBrisk
basically, follow the instructions there, the file you're looking for to replace is biotouch.exe (you'll need resco explorer or equivalent as it's a readonly file).

Matt
Yeh, the top-to-bottom drag keeps hitting the phone icon and doesn't work. Hope SPB realises this and changes it.

it would be nice, to know, exactly, howto ;]
Has anyone else been successful at getting this to work.
I looked on the website and can't figure out how to exactly do this.
Thanks.
search for "motbuttons cube disable" in this forum.
some people report problems with gestures in sms.
instead of gfinder try touchcommander to replace files
in some devices (mine), instead of startAppList look for startupbiotouch.lnk.
good luck !

[Apr 2, 2008] WM6.1 CHS/WWE "poium"

This ROM was linked in the WM6.1Pro thread, but it is a Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard ROM. I don't have the build information available, because the About applet is missing.
It defaults to CHS (Chinese), but English is included. You'll either have to regedit the language (HKCU\MUI ... set the value to 0x409) or change it "blind" via Settings/Regional Settings.

Performance...?News build in rom...?
I am trying
same clean rom.
plus
1-jawa (esmertec jbed)
2-open/close sounds
3-black screen saver
4-resco explorer
5-new icon
Anybody else going to report on this rom?
I flashed it and ran out of room on the Rom pretty quick. I put on M$ VC 1.6, Live messenger, T-9 English in the main memory, then I put on Live Search, Google Maps, Sirius, Office, Adobe, and oxiosmemory. I was left with about 3mb on the main Rom.
Every reboot, It went back to chinese in the Regional settings, so I had to keep resetting that back to English. Other than that. Fast as ever. Everything works on it.

I'm not able to do the path for the sliding panel apps launcher , any step by step help will be appreciate , thx
This is realy cool
I have tested this version and Its working preatty fast and sooth. MY SP5 picks all nicely and all net options and key mappings are fine. aditional optios for activating/deactivating sms threading. New pannel to run your own programes from home screen ...if you are fine with xml, you can custermize this the way you want. basicly having extended mail box and Nitrogens screen notificantions from his WM6 palitinum rom ...this is the best version so far.
As usual , again a request for all our experts (nitro specialy for you ) just use this kernal as the base and release a extended version like WM6 palitinum SP1.

Software path : actual path of the programe.
Eg: "\windows\camera.exe" without quotes !
Picture path : insert as above any icon to be displayed.
File name: Application name that you need to display in the slider.
Text name :Aditional discription if need to see on the slider.
thx mate !

WM does not identify taga as a native picture format. use .ico/png/gif or jpg.
further you can use icon off the any DLL file.however you have know about icon ID and call that in Picture path:
Eg: Picture path : 4601 , means icon "play".
Lead it into the Windows Directory, or, Just open the registry with registry editor and see how they did it. I could only get a few to work. I ran out of Ram so I flashed back to Gnats rom.
This is quite possibly the best rom I have tried. I've been using it for a couple of days and still haven't found a bug I couldn't fix myself.

Ok, You may need to have a addon with the plugin, to access the default icon from the any app you are going to access with. this is still in opening stage and sure, our experts will come up with more solutions with addon. anyway sice this is very fine tuned OEm tornado 6.1 rom I strongly recomending not to go with any registry edits for just showing the default icon. you have 2 solutions, 1. use any icon packeger and dump the default icon from your app, copy it to your phone then update the path using icon path. 2. use smiler icon from the dll.
I just found the same subject off another thread and you may find more advance options for custermizing this slider.

Edit the registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
What is the address of Contacts application? is it in '\windows'?

:MSCONTACTS or \Windows\contacts.lnk
To restore default action, just delete value named "Open" (there's path to application), clear "(Default)" (there's softkey caption, if it's empty - it loads from system DLLs) and soft-reset.
