Hi, can anyone tell me how to remove smartdial from the tuma 1.3 rom, it's slowing down my dialing speed and it is really annoying when I have to dial a long number. Thanks much for anyhelp. and oh yeah, I can't seem to remove the file that's reponsible for the graphics of the soft keyboard, it says it's in rom or something like that, I wouldn't mind it so much except it doesn't have a graphic for the letter d.

I think it only shows when you use large keys.

I was able to confirm the error. It actually occurs with large keys and use gestures selected.
Attached is a revised .dll with the bit map corrected. You will need to:
1. Unpack the attached rar
2. rename the "msim.96.dll.0409.mui" in the windows folder to something else like "msim.96.dll.0409.old".
3. copy the attached file to the windows folder
4. then reboot
Hope this helps.
Hi, the problem is that the file msim.96.dll.0409.mui cannot be deleted. When renaming it a new file is created but the old file is still there. It can't be overwritten either. This is very frustrating... lol

I've used Resco file explorer, it complains that it can't delete the rom version but it renames the ram version of the file anyway. You can then copy the new file to ram.

Yeah I used resco file explorer too, the included windows one doesn't even have a rename option. However when I finished renaming it, a popup windows says, can't delte file, and a new one is created. Where did you find the ram version of the file?
Lets try a more automated method.
Execute the attached cab file and then do a reboot.
Cool, it's working now, thanks for the program

I want replace a file "HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml" in file Windows. But this file is in ROM memory. The phone write:"File '\Windows\HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml' is in ROM memory! You cannot delete it."
How to replace this original file "HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml" with modified file "HH_0405_WeatherCities.xml"?
You can't delete a file located in ROM, but you can *overwrite* it (it does not truely overwrite, because if you delete you newly added file, the old one will respawn).
To do this don't use the file explorer; use total commander or the great resco explorer instead.
Stop the device from using a file in ROM?

So then on that note, how does one remove or prevent the use of a file in ROM? More specifically, it seems that HTC_Task_X-Button_2_0_30995_1 conflicts with Wisbar Advance 3. Often you end up with TWO little drop downs on the Start bar, one overwriting the other, and that can lock the system up.
Frankly, Wisbar is a MUCH better product, so is there a way to stop the device from using the HTC version and therefore install the Wisbar version?
I've looked, but I'm not coming across an effective answer.
Thanks in advance!
I have "X-button" in the control panel. On the button tab at the bottom you can disable the quick menu on the today screen. Works for me, I use wisbar too.

Hicks, thank you.
But I'm a bit lost, "control panel?" Do mean you go into Programs > X-Button, and then open it up, and there's a tab at the bottom where I can disable the quick menu?
Because that seems a LOT easier than fiddling around with the registry or ROM or something.
Thanks!

Obviously that is the easiest way to stop X button. For future reference, and as mentioned before, the stock file explorer won't over write some of those system files. Resco is my personal choice for this. Also, certain utilities are handy to have for shutting down processes. MemMaid is a good tool for that. I'm sure there are others. In short, apps like MemMaid and Resco File Explorer are essential tools to have for the type of mods you are wanting to do.

you have to use a special exlporer on your pda like rescueexplorer or totalcommander. you can´t do it with activesync or the build in explorer
I'm trying to change the sound WM uses for the pop-up dialogue (for instance, you install a program and a dialogue pops up and says you have to restart... that sound). I've gone through every option available in Settings/Sounds & Notifications, but there's no entry for it. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

This is what I did (altho the results of the following steps are entirely YOUR responsibility):
1. MAKE BACKUPS! From Activesync, "Explore" the phone. i.e. in a Windows Explorer window.
2. Dbl-click "My Windows Mobile Device". Dbl click the "Window" subdirectory.
3. Sort by filetype.
4. Navigate to where ".wav" files are.
5. Select all the ".wav" files and copy them all en masse to a separate directory on your PC. (all the hidden system wav files should also have been copied in the process).
6. play all the wav files until you find the one that irritated you the first time.
7. open a registry editor of your choice on your WM device. (I use SKTools)
8. search for the file name from step 6.
9. Try the full name plus extension first. If no result, then try the name without the extension.
10. Replace instances of the filename with the wav filename of your choice (I assume you have one). If there was an extension in the first place, include the extension as well.
The outcome of all the above is your responsibility. The steps worked for me, and if you are familiar with how to edit WM registry items, the steps should work for you as well.
good luck.
Thanks for the reply skenobi. Reading your response, it occured to me that once I find the wav files WM is using, I could probably just replace the sound I don't like with a renamed copy of the one I do (i.e., replace Alarm2 with a copy of Alarm4, renamed to Alarm2). I think I'll try this out first, before I buy a registry editor.
Thanks again!

That might work, altho (if I'm not mistaken) some wav files are in ROM, i.e. you can't rename/replace it.
Your mileage may vary, as they say.
Good luck.
Anyone interested in running the newer pie on wm6?
Im still doing some test , but it looks like its working fine.
So if youre interested just let me know and ill upload the files.
Edit:
First of all use at your own risk!
If it doesnt work for you , you might need to hard reset your device.
So if you are wise , make a backup first!
Im using Q-Mobile 1.2 , and it works fine for me.
That doesnt mean it will work for you!
Still want to give it a try?
Here are the files:
http://rapidshare.com/files/88826982/6.1browser.rar.html
Note: its not a cab installer , you will have to use resco explorer to overwrite the files in your windows directory!!!!
Just copy all the files to /windows/
If it fails for any reason , try to update resco to the latest version.
I do not know if you can do this with a cab file , if anyone does know this or want to make a cab ill add it to this post.
Dont expect to much of it tho , only thing thats nice is the zooming feature.
Edit2:
If you dont like it you can manually delete the files again with resco explorer and it will place back the original files.
If you get an error , try renaming the file first before deleting.
Edit3:
Cab file!

Thats weird , did you use resco 6.17?
I had no problem with overwriting the files.
it is resco 6.00. If i try to overwrite the files it just crashes, saying something about "wrong parameter".
P.S.:I've updated the resco explorer. now it works! Thank you!

Be nice Grizz,
Use a good file explorer & navigate to \Windows\Startup There will be a file in there called tflo or something or another. Anyway, remove the correct file in startup & all will be fine.

Well that did the trick, thank you very much for your help!!!
I would like to introduce in one .cab/.zip file the hexagonal start menu files compatible with WM 6.5 and 240x240 screens (like the Treo 750). The hexagonal start menu was removed from some WM 6.5 installations and now you can reinstall it.
Comes in two versions, with and without border.
.cab instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Copy the .cab file to your device.
3) Locate the .cab file on your device using Total Commander, or Resco Explorer.
4) Run the .cab file and let it install. Accept OVERWRITE if prompted.
5) Soft reset your device!
.zip instructions:
1) Create an ActiveSync connection with your phone.
2) Unzip the .zip file to your place of choice.
3) Browse your device, and copy and paste the files to your phone or SD card.
4) Use Total Commander, or Resco Explorer to locate where you placed the files and COPY/OVERWRITE all three files to the \Windows directory on your device.
5) Soft reset your device!
When your phone is finished booting open your start menu and enjoy some hexagons
thanks
I will give it try...

There was a problem with the .cab software I was using and it stripping the information from the .cpr files. I have re-uploaded the files in .zip format and changed the instructions. Try it again I promise it will work! This new way is more manual work, but it is very easy to do. I recommend using Total Commander as linked above. When in Total Commander select all three files and select copy, then browse to your \Windows directory and select paste. It will ask you to overwrite a file, select YES. After you are done, soft reset your phone.
Updated with working .cab files, feel free to download and install them!
great work
I've just instaled the .cab of the one with borders, and it's just sweet...
it's just beatiful... I RECOMEND it

Thank you! If there is enough interest I will make different shapes/colors/FX as well!
Will this work on a 240x320 device? I'm guessing no since you labeled it 240x240. Just wondering, I would like to try it out.
What is the difference between with or w/o border? What border?

I made that same question to my self, and just tryed both...
with borders you have the hexagon and borders highligted, on the one with no borders you just have the hexagon... you will not experience memory problems since the memory used to make the hexagons is the same used by windows to highligt the icons on the start menu...
I prefer the one with borders if you want to know

Mobile Office
I notice that there is no office installed with this ROM. When I tried to update my Office to 6.1, it would not install because it was not currently on. Is there a way to install a previous version so I can do the update?
Aside from that, I am liking this 6.5. I had 6.1 and it didn't look any different from the previous 6.0. I am using an unlocked Cingular 750 on the T-Mobile network. I have been using a Black Dash, which I loved the Kavana ROM on!
You can get office from here
how about a picture - to wet the appetite!
