How do I remove smartdial from tuma 1.3

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

Change pop-up dialogue sound? not avail. in sounds & notifications menu

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.

What brings up Memory on Tilt/TYTN II?

anyone know what command brings up the memory program in settings? meaning in windows folder java.exe brings up java, camera.exe brings up the camera, i can't find a memory.exe or storage.exe so i was hoping someone around here might know what it is and what folder it's in.

I have a "running programs.lnk" but I think this is a file that came with Slithers cube.

Having said that \windows\start menu\programs\shortcuts\task manager.lnk seems to do the job...

hmm, i don't have "shortcuts" i'm just using a stock tilt rom, so i'm not sure where it's at. i've looked everywere. it's probably called something that i don't recognize. under \windows\start menu\settings\ is empty but when i go on the device i see all the apps in settings. i'm assuming it's somewhere around there.

22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
is the link to open up the stock task/memory manager to the running programs tab, i've attached the lnk for your use
Just unzip and drop on your device where ever you desire....

thanks, that works, i don't suppose there's a way to get it to open up to the memory instead of tasks??

were is ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2 located at? is it in the windows folder? i didn't see it, i did see ctlpnl.exe or what ever it was. i tried that one, but it didn't work.

22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,0
Sure just change the number 2 to 0 at the end of the link (this is the number of tab to open (zero based))
cplmain.cpl exists in the /windows directory, it will be there its part of Windows Mobile, maybe you need to unhide all file types (or system files/dlls etc) as they maybe hidden....
Hope this helps...

ok, were do i change the 2 to 0 at? on the zip file you gave me or on what the file in the widows directory? i didn't see were you can change on the zip you gave me.

The last digit of the string within the .lnk file thats in the zip file....
remebering to unzip the file and drop it onto your device (usually somewhere on the start menu/ today screen) i only zipped it up coz you cant upload .lnk files
Running Tasks
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2
Memory
22#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,0
Anyhow heres the modified lnk attached to open memory for you...

*Updated* HTC Weather Patch Not Working? Try This.

As many of you know, there are a few roms which do not allow some of use to use the n2a weather patch. For me it caused endless rebooting of my phone until i was forced to do a hard reset. I managed to find a way to get around it, so i thought i'd share it for any others in the same boat as me.
Okay, here's what i did, and i have a working HTC home w/ working weather:
1) Disable HTC Home from today screen
2) Unzip the attached file, then copy it to the windows directory
3) Soft Reset
4) Enabled HTC Home
No more constant restarting, and the weather updates correctly. Please let me know if this works for others.
**Edit**
If you cannot overwrite HTChome.dll, then use use totalcommander or some other file explorer and rename the existing one HTChome.old, and then copy the new file to the windows folder and soft reset, should work like a charm.
Update:
I have uploaded a new version of htchome.dll which should not cause you to lose the backlight shortcut in the launcher. Please test it out, and let me know if there are any new problems related to this file, as i am not having any myself.
http://www.4shared.com/file/54303305/b583f94/HTCHome.html
another workaround:
Credit to Brynwall for the following updates/workarounds:
Can't copy file:
1. Create a folder in the main directory (call it what-you-will).
2. Copy your new HTCHome.dll file to that directory.
3.Go to the Windows folder and copy the HTCHome.dll.0409.mui file to your new folder.
4. Use a REGEDIT program and go to HKLM > SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Today > Items > HTC Home
5. Change the location for the HTCHome.dll file to your new folder.
6. Done!!!!
Weather won't download via edge or 3g:
For those of you still having problems with the weather plug-in here is another thing I did to fix it:
1. Go to Settings - Connections - Connections - Advanced - Select Networks - Edit (MEdia Net) - Proxy Settings -> UNCHECK BOTH OPTIONS
2. Soft Reset
It should work fine
Adding Cities to Custom Database
To create a customized database of cities use HTC Home Customizer, which can be downloaded from many locations on this site, or from my 4shared folder. Perform the following steps:
1) Make sure you have copied the patched htchome.dll file as instructed in the first post.
2) I am not sure it's necessary, but i usually disable the HTC Home plugin when making the changes.
3) Open HTC Home and navigate to the weather tab.
4) From the drop-down menu entitled "database type" select "custom"
5) Click "Enter New City" and then enter the relevant data for your city.
6) Click "Save City to Custom Database"
7) Repeat steps 4 & 5 for as many cities as you would like to add.
8) Click and "save" and then enable the HTC Home Plugin again.
9) Your weather tab should now display your customized list of cities.
If the above steps don't work, then try the steps provided below:

Here is a method to get HTC Home Customizer and the HTCHome.dll to play nicely together on an AT&T Tilt running stock 6.1 with no bloatware installed. You must to a hard reset to get this to work so the appropriate back up warnings apply!
This method is courtesy of tbraun on the AT&T forum.
You will need:
a. tcmdpocketarm (attached below)
b. HHCv10b5 (attached below)
c. HTCHome.dll (attached below).
Here's the steps:
Install all programs to the device using File Explorer to find and click on the cabs.
1. Do a Hard Reset and use appropriate techniques to ensure the AT&T bloatware was not installed.
2. Install TCM Total Commander (You can use any other program that will let you edit/move .dll files and install it here.)
3. Soft Reset
4. Install HTC Home Customizer 10b5 (Do not use 1.0 Final!)
5. Soft Reset
6. Used TCM Total Commander (Or what ever program you installed.) to rename HTCHome.dll to HTCHome.old in the Windows directory on the phone.
7. Used TCM Total Commander (Or what ever program you installed.) to move HTCHome .dll from your storage card to the Windows directory.
8. Soft reset the phone. (I had to do this twice. The first time HTC Home did not load. On the second soft reset the phone asked me if I wanted to install HTCHome.dll and I said yes. and HTC Home loaded.)
At this point, you should be able to both use HHC to edit appearance and customize weather following the steps above.
Again, major thanks to tbraun on the AT&T forum for coming up with the basic method. The hard reset is required because the AT&T 6.1 ROM version of HTC Home seems to need these items installed in this order to work. I'd tried various other orders and this one without a hard reset and HTC Home Customizer would only do one thing, or the other, appearances or weather.

how can I load this file if my phone keeps rebooting even with a soft reset?
I have a window of 5 seconds to load the file before it reboots but it wont let me copy the file. Access denied. Probably in use? Any other ideas?

Sorry, it was a typo, i had to do a hard reset. Then i did these steps after my device was setup again. Just do not run the cab file that causes the constant rebooting problem.

have a window of 5 seconds to load the file before it reboots but it wont let me copy the file. Access denied. Probably in use? HTC HOME is disabled in Today screen. Any other ideas?

Did you perform a hard reset? Once you are in the constant reboot cycle you will have to perform a hard reset so that you phone will load normally. Then you can disable htc home, and then copy the file into the windows directory. You will have to overwrite the one that is there already. Do not install the cab file fix that was causing the rebooting problem. If this isn't addressing your issues then maybe i'm not understanding you. Please explain in more detail and i'll see if i can help.

Performed hard rest. Unable to overwrite existing HTCHOME.dll file. HTC home plugin is disabled and does not appear on the today screen.

did you check to see if the file is read-only? I'm downloading it, i'll give it a whirl see if i can't get it to work. Any reason you're using that particular rom?

I did and I noticed it was set to read-only. How can I change this? Is there a program like total commander that will allow this?

1. disable HTChome plug-in from today screen
2. remove read-only from HTChome.dll using resco explorer or total commander
3. copied new HTChome.dll from storage card or any other folder and copy->move to and overwrite in /Windows using resco or total commander.
No more rebooting and Local weather works. YAY!

dont thank me bro. skat come up with all of this. i just provided a cab to overwrite windows files

OK. I have selected my city from the list that came with the HTC Weather but after few days it locks on the "Attemping to download data".
Am I having the same issue or I´m having a different problem (I'm using an city that was in the original HTC list). Since I' m not using a custom city will this DLL solve my problem too?
Thanks

I think it should, but nobody in your situation has tried it yet. If you're up to it you could give it a try and let us know. To my knowledge all this does is change the server it's pulling the information from...at least that is my understanding.

Anyone have a solution to the Brightness Application not working anymore?

After flashing the same ROM and making the same adjustments to the HTC Weather plugin my phone now locks up completely on boot and the only way I can get it to not reset is to pull the SIM card - and then I can't connect through ActiveSync- I do plan on reviewing the forums as soon as I can but if anyone has suggestions on how to correct I would appreciate -
Thanks.

WM 6.5 3-Row Hexagonal Start Menu - 240x240

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.

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!
