HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin - Please export

I need someone to export HKLM/security/phone/skin from their phone. I'm trying to determine what keys were lost on phone when I was trying out some skins. If you could export (or copy/paste) the reg key and the sub-keys that would be awesome. Please post the attachement or the code to this thread...
thanks

enabled 1(0x000001)
ext \windows\phcanhtc.dll
Does that help? Or do you need sub directories also?

I really need the subkeys. What I'm trying to figure out is why my call history and speed dial buttons are using the default icons instead the ones actually in the \windows directory. I've verified that skin's icons are n the windows directory but when I view the phone app, the buttons are back to default (for call history and speed dial only).
If you could export or copy/paste the 'portrait' subkey that would be very helpful.

Here you go. Need more? Let me know.

Have you done any phone dialer skinning on this phone? or is it the original phone skin?
I've got a bunch of text color reg entries so maybe that's the cause...

I did install the black HTC dialer but removed it long ago. I didn't think about that when I exported it... sorry!

no worries....
I made a backup of that key, tehn removed everything that wasn't on yours... rebooting, I'll let you know what I find.

Damn, still got the default buttons.
Griz, can you check your speed dial and call history buttons. Anyway you can snap a screenshot to show what your buttons look like?
BTW.. thanks for all your help on this. If we find a fix I know many threads that will benefit from this....

I don't know if you will be able to see this, I dont have a screen capture app on my phone so I used a camera...? If it's bad, I will load a screen capture app and retake a picture for you. Or maybe you need to see more of the screen?

actually I need the speed list screen and the call history screen. Here's a good & free screen capture util....
Install this from your pc, then assign the magicSS application to a button, go to the screen you want to capture, press the button, save the file. When you are done, reassign the button to the previous setting.
Application credits go to Lou ........ http://www.louterrailloune.com/?page_id=7

OK, how is this?

the 3rd one is what I was looking for...
hate to tell you this, you have the same issue. look at the image used in the call history button in the image above. Now, view the actual files that are used for those images in the /windows directory. The files are:
spd_lst.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_out.gif
clg_missed.gif
The above files should look different then the above image. Do they?

This is what I see in /windows/clg_in.gif

-- scratch that...

that should be the image you see when viewing call history inbound calls, as you can plainly see from your screen shots, what's in the windows folder is not what is being displayed in the phone app.
And here's the kicker, at one point it did match. The image you show above (clg_in.gif) is what my original call history buttons display like. Even on some of the skins I tried, the speed dial and call history buttons skinned properly. I just notice that it won't do it anymore.
Either a registry entry has changed (or been lost) or there's some sort of OS icon cache issue.
The only reason I don't think it's registry related is that those files are usually treated differently when skinning the phone dialer. Most skins will create a folder with the replacement images, then the install will change the registry to display the images in this new folder. These 4 files never get put into the new folder, they always get dropped directly into the windows folder, overlaying the ROM file. Also, I've never seen any registry entry for these images. I would think that the registry entries (if they existed) would be under the reg key mentioned at the start of the thread.

OK, I never noticed that these were wrong icons. But it's an easy fix. Just replace the ones that are in the /windows dir with the ones you want.
Is that what you are after?

yes that's how it should work, but it doesn't.... it's displaying a set of icons bulit into to the phone app...

How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!

I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in

Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

wow, thank you very much mtiberio!
your link really hit the spot!

Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.

i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

You will need to reset your device for it to show up in your programs list.

Another SIP when stylus out

New version at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2622590&postcount=45
Old version
I'm make a small program, which change current SIP when stylus out of the case and in the case.
Just unzip, and run program. Run again, and you can stop background process.
Settings in registry:
key HKCU\Software\HtcExtFun
value StylusInSipName - string name of SIP when stylus in the case
value StylusOutSipName - string name of SIP when stylus out of the case
example of reg settings (included in attached archive):
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"StylusOutSipName"="Keyboard - VGAKEY"
"StylusInSipName"="TouchPal"

Sorry I messed up im such an idiot!

And would it be possible to change the diamond in some kind of explosive device if the stylus is pulled out and in five times in less than three seconds ?
Hmmm James Bond on TV tonight, sorry for that.
The real question was : what do you call SIP : is it any program ? Does it interfere with the "notes" opening during a call ?

SIP = "Soft Input Panel"
It's the method of inputting text on a ppc, such as keyboard, transcriber etc...
Thanks a lot exidler, I've been missing this feature

My question is will it interfere/conflict with a SmartSIP application? I'm not in the mood for a Hard Reset just now due to conflicting SIPs...

Hello,
Nice idea but when I execute the HtcExtFun.exe I received this message :
"can't initialize SIP CLSIDs for stylus status"
My Rom is HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1
Thank's for you help

Just change the registry keys to whatever SIPs you use. You probably don't even have a "Keyboard - VGAKEY" installed.
2ALL: Also be sure to input localized names for SIPs into reg keys (for non-WWE ROMs). Good luck!
Btw, it works just fine with SmartSIP...
Good job, exidler! Thank you. It's just what I wanted. Will probably uninstall SmartSIP now...

At begining of topic, asking about runing Notes when stylus pulled out.
My question: may be add feature to run something when stylus pulled out? Not only when call in progress.

Would be a nice addition, but I'd prefer it to be user-configurable (on/off), with a list of exceptions. So each time I'm about to rename a file it won't open Notes or whatever.

help stylus
for open the program???
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]

hello graziano

WOW Fantastic app thanks
I Repackaged it in a cab file that adds the reg key to change between Compact QWERTY and Keyboard. Also drops a shortcut under
Start Menu>Programs

Video of the software here. I think its great, but could obviously do with a configuration panel and having a shortcut dropped into \windows\startup.

It only worked for me after a soft reset, and then starting the app once.
Surur

To have it start at every boot up, paste the app in /Windows/StartUp
Very convenient app, they should have implemented this in the original ROM .

Awesome!...
It worked after I add ZaJules's Reg file.
But I want to be able to switch between:
Compact QWERTY and Fitaly by textware.
I edited the reg location (in windows registry) from keyboard to fitaly
now removing/replacing stylus doesn't do anything...
cheers, stevo.
[edit] Maybe it's called something else in the registry...
[edit] fixed it.
I had "Keyboard Qwerty" insteat of "Keyboard QWERTY", so it IS CAP specific!.
cheers, swesome.... This bl00dy phone just gets better and better every day...!

Updated the cab to include the automated startup

GREAT small application, very handy indeed.

re not go
error on startup
saluti dvdfilm

when using the exidler....cab I got an error while starting up. It seems the application is missing a reference. When I start it manually I get an error about missing reference in registry.
I use original Rom 1.93GER

"videocall" soft key replaced with the "contacts" shortcut? (CAB.FIX)

"videocall" soft key replaced with the "contacts" shortcut? (CAB.FIX)
New rom 1.93.707.1, replaced the "contacts" soft key with the "video call"...
Can this be fixed via registry change and replace the "videocall" soft key with the "contacts" shortcut?
K

Theres a couple of other posts around for this but I dont think anyone could find a fix for it. I for one find it a nuisance as well!

Maybe I found a solution:
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1145559&postcount=4
Because my english is very bad, I hope somebody else can translate the info from german into english.

Start --> Contacts
I simply use Start Menu ---> Contacts instead.
Both take 2 clicks to get to contacts, hence we can't insist that one approach is better than the other.
Even in other phones (like my old Nokia N70) when you click on call button, it'll take you to list of dialled calls. Not to contacts. If you want to open contacts to make a call in N70, you'll have to click (ooops, press) the 'contacts' button on the home screen.
Here, the diamond takes u to recently dialled numbers when you click the phone link (or che call button). So it's the same.
+ it'll automatically list contacts after the end of dialled calls.
you can rotate your finger around central round button for scrolling.
Hence I should say this is indeed a feature, not a bug.

Anyone tried the reg fix, does it work?

It is not al reg-fix, it's a 3 Files-Fix
People are lazy, many downloads but only one report, a user in the german ppc-welt-forum reports it works fine with "mossis-rom" (a cooked german rom).
I self use the fix with the HTC 1.93-ROM and i found no problems so far.
But where is the risk? If there are any problems, delete the three files, softreset your diamond and everything will remain unaffected.

From GOOGLE
"AW: In video mode phone call disable
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Quote:
Quote from SYD
The video call I would like against the "contacts replaced.
Please someone knows the registry entry so that I can change.
Unfortunately, this is a Reg-entry is not done, the softkey is a DLL "Hartverdrahtet."
Possibly. This is a solution to the problem (I'm still the only "beta testers" - therefore experience needed!):
HotFix order at O2 or HTC Diamond with the firmware 1.93 the softkey again to video call back to confirm contacts:
http://rapidshare.com/files/154176504/Phone193_fix2.zip
Attention:
I have all the popular variations, incoming call, outgoing calls, switch on Hold / speakerphone so tested and so far no errors are detected, but nothing goes beyond a broad "field test" - so please post experience.
Application:
The zip and unzip the three files (excluding the Info.txt) in the Windows directory, then reboot the Diamond.
Undo:
The three files and delete the Diamond restart. If the deletion is not possible, helps the following trick: The three rename files (eg with vorrangestelltem "_" So from phcanhtc.dll _phcanhtc.dll), the Diamond restart - then the files can be erased"

Works for me
@Martinhdk: Funny translation ;-)
The fix works for me (German Xda Diamond pro).
You have to replace 3 ROM files because the soft-key is hard-coded in a dll.
You may have to stop cprog.exe (the phone) in a good task manager to remove the lock on the files.

I've just reflashed a stock 1.93 ROM to my phone and applied the three files contained in the .zip file and confirm that it works! No more Video Call softkey on the phone!
Now if someone can turn those files in to a cab that would be brilliant!

You could try this cab I made of the relevant changes. Remember to soft-reset afterwards.
EDITED ON 29/12/2008: NB this cab does not work if you are using the Slide to Answer/Ignore Phone Canvas (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464286), as although it restores the Contacts softkey it disables the slide to answer functionality.

Phone pad vibrate

...there is really no advice how to get back keypad tones after uninstal this software?pleaaaaaaaase..........

yea i have the same problem, i uninstalled the keypad vibrate cab and now the keypad tones do not work, im really annoyed, anyone have a fix for this??

Look at the original thread...

[in "HKCU/ControlPanel/Sounds/"]
...
Delete the string value named "Sound" in the dtmf(1-9) folders.
Make a new dword named "Sound" and set its value to the number of the folder. eg. in dtmf5 you should have a dword called "Sound" with the value 5.
I like tactile feedback when implemented properly, but that app is a piece of crap. Havnt seen an app that breaks the phone that badly for a while (I actually need to use dtmf tones so this was really a big problem).
