The first issue I have no screen shot of it... Sorry
But I do know this, it was on either SimpleOSManila2d or Phoenix ROM.
Here is my best discription...
When you are in a call (connected) the on screen buttons where slightly grayed over and there was a button (slider) you had to slide down to basically reveal the buttons so they could be pushed.
If you have seen this you know what I am talking about...
My question is this, is it a app (cab) someplace? Or is it part of the ROM?

Its a version of phone canvas, you can find it pre installed on some ROMs. Here is a version by PDG that you can just install, and it looks great! The cab file is in the zip!

Did you soft reset afterwards?
did that right before u posted it and its good now, thanks
Word to the wise...it's always best to soft reset after installing a new program/app/cab before posting issues...keeps you from being flamed...

Hi i have a kaiser on Uk orange. the right soft key says 'Go To ...' ttry as i may i can not change it at all. i have tried FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx, Key swop, Advanced Config and even editing the registry at Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\today\keys\113 (where they have two extra keys called 'mem1' and 'mem2'.) however whichever method i try the key always resets itself back to 'Go To'
Does anyone have any ideas how i can try and change it at all?
Cheers

Thats strange, I always use advanced config for that and its working like a charm.
if youur on orange chances are youve got that crappy side bar on. go to settingsstart - settings - today - go to the second tab laballed ITEMS then untick the orange item. when you go back to your today screen contacts should be on the right
Yeah that did it cant believe how long it has taken to find that out, however is there any way i can get the sidebar back (not necessarily that one but an alternate one) as its really useful to have that stuff on the screen.

About the HTC Home, no I dont have it in my corner. I have some modified Diamon style tweaked for some of the dialers but havent made a cab of it since there is floating several around in here already. I might whanna have a go skinning one if I come up whit a kewl idea though. I am working on a SPB Theme atm (well not now, vacation atm. But will continue that project once back home), after that I have planned to make a cab/guide whit a nice theme for ultimatelaunch. And I also have promised a icon pack and some animations and on top of that I am eager to get back and work whit Leo on future projects. So it is kinda tight program for hobby timeline, but if you got a certain wish you could request it in my corner and who knows what happends from there and out
cool. it was just to show edblack in the right direction
Hi
I made this little CAB to install the registry tweaks that prevent your screen from blanking. I can confirm that on my Orange Diamond, using Bepe's .97 this actually works, whereas using Advanced Config didn't solve the issue.
The CAB file is uninstallable should you wish to remove it.
Thanks,
Shinobi_UK
Can you explain what´s in that cab?

Actually i found that using DT didn't work either, and I also find it more convenient to apply the registry changes with a cab file, rather than having to install an app I don't use and then make a load of clicks.
If you prefer to do it using a tweaking app then this cab isn't for you. The only reason I posted it is because I use it myself.

Well actually it's been very easy to achieve by taking registry snapshots, and then using diff on a linux box to find the changes, then import them into a cab file.
So thanks for wishing me luck but it's not required.
Sarcasm breeds sarcasm and frankly i'm slightly ammused that on a forum designed to help users share tips and software, a simple CAB i use after new ROM flashes has created such a hostile response.
I'm not attempting to replace or belittle your tool monte, it's certainly streets ahead of what i can do at the moment, however as bepe's ROM lets me run cabs at build this way is nice and easy for me to ensure that if I need to do a hard reset I can reinstate my registry tweaks during the reset without having to install any additional software.

I find it annoying to have to unblank the screen to use the keypad for things like phone banking and voicemail.
The registry tweaks in Advanced Config did not work on my phone either, but this cab did the job. Thanks shinobi_uk
THIS is effing amazing
Been looking for something like this for a looong time, cheers
Brilliant, I'd tried the registry tweaks in the tweaks thread, and advancedconfig without any luck and this cab worked perfectly.
I haven't tried DiamondTweak, looks interesting though.
This works perfectly. Big Thanks!

It's not that bad, it just annoys me when I'm phoning numbers where you have a number menu system to get through.
It's strange that it's something no other WM phones I've used have done, yet theres no menu option to disable it.

This CAB file is flawed, because it causes unnecessary battery drain.
It's wrong to make the screen never go to sleep during a phone call.
If you'll think about it for a moment, during a call we never really need the screen to be active for more than 1 minute or so, from the last time we touched it. If you are calling a digital voice machine (either your voicemail or anything), 99.999% of the time it won't take more than 1 minute between key presses.
The ideal tweak should just make the screen behave like when you're not in a call, meaning the screen reduces brightness after ~30 seconds, and shuts down after ~1 minute. In order to be 100% on the safe side, you could make it shut down after 2 minutes from last key press. BUT, making it never go to sleep is simply a waste of battery if you're doing for example a 30 minutes conversation.
center button and screen back on
My preference is to have the screen come on, see who it is, then allow it to go blank. If you need it to come back on, i just push the center of the scroll, enter button or whatever its called, and the screen comes back on. (at least it does on mine) . I like it that the screen blanks so it will save battery.
But i dont think we should discourage anyone from making any kind of cab if they desire.

Still, it is unnoying to press that damn key every 5 seconds. The screen should shut down after 1-2 minutes, but NOT never.

Thats abosolute BS. It is NOT flawed. If you dont want your screen to stay on just - dont use the CAB. I think most users around here are smart enought to know that keeping the screen on during a call takes a battery hit. If they use the CAB as I intend to they are willing to accept this.
the in-call "Slide down for more options" curtain
does anyone know how to turn this feature off?
i've searched and there are a few threads on this
but with no answers.
thanks in advance
I need this aswell, Could it be fixed with a registery edit?
I'm guessing you guys have done the same that I've done loads .... pulled the slider the wrong bloody way and hung up on people ? ?
I have to keep remembering to use the answer button not the touch screen.
I have searched some more, Without an actual solution,
Still I think it should be 'fixed' by a registry edit.
Can anyone give a concrete answer?
I remember when I used my HTC Touch Elfin, Some roms had the 'curtain' and some didn't, though it were 'the same dialers'
Sorry for the double post, But, Bump?
Anyone?
u can set the delay
HKEY Local Machine/Software/HTC/Phone/Cover/ResumeInterval
Default is 5000
So, To what should we change it to disable it?
0?
No not "0" Set it to "999999999999" or something. Tried many things like make an registry key EnablePhoneCover etc but nothing works
999999999999 would disable it completely?

No but you only have to slide down once. I have installed the screenoff tweak every time i make a call the screen turns of but the slider is not coming back
Oh ok ^^ Ty mate Will do for now...
But I still think there is a better way to do it, cause some diallers on custom roms do not contain the curtain, But are the same diallers.
I now but this was not with the new Topaz
I tried everyting in the registry but no luck so far
It's been 40 days since the last post. I was wondering if someone came with a fix for it by now?
I don't need this curtain. I want to have all the call options to begin with on my Diamond2 Just like I had it with my old Touch Pro. I don't want the curtain to show at all! I don't want to slide it down even once, Just to completely avoid it alltogether.

I noticed that installing Rhodium Dialer from CAB which I prepared disables curtain (and enables landscape and coference modes for dialer). The problem is that installation of this takes about 18mb of storage memory.
I'm thinking of creating my own ROM (as I did for Omnia ) based on 6.1 with Flashlite3 support in Opera and full landscape support cooked inside (using Rhodium components) .

No, you can't - this is integral part of phone and files must be put into \Windows folder.

Hey I need help....my G1 phone got completely wet and slowly everything came back, however my green phone/pick up/answer button is not working, so I am unable to pick up any phone calls.....I let the phone dry overnight, even removed the battery, sd card and put it in front of a fan for a couple hours...I have been trying to look for an alternate button to pick up a phone call but I'm having no luck....Does anyone have an idea of what I can do?? Any app that can change a setting or any hack, yes my phone is rooted...I would greatly appreciate if anyone can help...thanks again
Look at the phone/contact apk mods with the answer button in the dev section.
Yes there is a modified phone apk that has a answer button in the screen..
Flash an eclair ROM, and you can answer via swiping the screen.

Hi...
Just downloaded and installed Myn's Android for my HTC Touch... im having a hard time getting use to it...i guess it will come with time... but in the meantime... may be can someone tell me how to get to the dialer if i'm several levels deep in a screen, example, i'm currently downloading an app or viewing a map...and i'd like to call someone?
So far the only option is i have to back out using the camera button like 5-6 screens to get to my home screen and then click dialer... which to me is a bit unintuitive ... i've tried all combinations of buttons ( holding multiple secs too) and i couldnt find a way to get back to the home or even better dial out but clicking the send button ( which i'm used to in winmo)
Also, how do i access the running tasks? or do the tasks close eveytime i back out? I guess i need a how to use android 101..

The green key should work...if it's not you can hold in the camera button to go straight to home and click your dialer icon. For running tasks, you need to download a task manager like advanced task manager or taskkiller. Search for tatnai's FAQ to get started. I'm sure a lot of your questions will be answered there.

hold camera button for a couple sec and it will back all the way out to the homescreen without having to hit it several times.
Both the camera and green button does not have the long press function... so it does not bring the Home screen... like i saw on some youtube android tutorial... I'll check the Tatnai's FAq to see .. .may be its just a settings on the Myn which is not activated by default.. i have the RLS version 4 of MYN...
