is it possible to make your phone vibrate on call connect while using the windows default keypad?
i know if i enable the diamond keypad it works.
and also the program "Vibrate On Connect" does not work with the Touch Pro.
I am told it cannot work without the diamond phonepad.
So i'm wondering if anyone can enable it through a .cab file on a non-htc customized 6.5 rom
Have You tried this?
Try Start>Settings>Personal Tab>Phone>Scroll all the way to the right until you see the Advanced tab>Remove the tick from "Vibrate device when connection is established">Click OK until you see your home screen.

That tab doesn't exist in WM6.5 with the default dialer.
The only way I know of is to use s2u2 and set it to answer calls and it has an option to vibrate on connect, but I honestly don't use it because I like the built-in lock app in 6.5.

How do you switch between the Diamond dialer and the Windows default dialer? I can only see the Diamond dialer. If I knew how to switch I would look into it to help you.

Da_G WM6.5 21198 Test 2 ROM has stock dialer. Only HTC based app i've noticed so far is for the camera. You could flash this and check out the fresh new non-htc goodness..

Uh, thats that ROM Im already an using.
that option is there because i used Da_G's kitchen and installed the htc dialer because i thought i would like it, however the 6.5 dialer i like better so i used advanced config to switch back.
and yes i like the 6.5 lock much better as well so s2u2 is not an option.
also i downloaded some kind of green button app or something called vibrate which automatically starts when i boot up however never installed, just ran as a .exe and it does what i want- almost- it vibe's on connect however it is a little late and the vibration is too much and not subtle like the htc diamon dialpad one- if anyone can get the vibrate on connect feature from the diamond dialer it would be apprieciated- also how can i stop this new vibrate.exe from running?
Try this and hope you got the fix.

didnt notice the word "htc" in that registry key? thats for the diamond dialer. does it not work if you install htc dialer and disable it (switch back to standard wm dialer) using something like diamond tweak? or does the tab with the vibrate option disappear with it?

To return to WM dialer
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin
set (Enabled) to 0
soft reset
I used Advanced Config v3.3 to revert to the WM 6.5 dialer (which I actually like a lot more than I thought I would), but I also lost the vibrate functionality, which I really enjoy, since where I work my signal fluctuates a lot, and even though I'll show good service on Sprint, it often won't connect, and I'll just hold it in my hand, or put it down on the table and wait for it to actually go to "connected" when I hear/feel the vibrate.
When I go into the Phone options Advanced tab I still have the option to "Vibrate on Connect", but it doesn't work, either checked, or unchecked.
Anyone able to get their phone to vibrate on connect using the WM6.5 dialer?
This isn't a dealbreaker for me, or anything, as I prefer the speedier WM dialer over the delayed HTC dialer (especially when the unit is locked), but it would be nice to get it back.
Vibration on connect
vibration on connect and Slide unlock bugs existent in all cooked ROMs in this forum. I trial all ROMs and found it. If you know the resolves please post it here. thanks
i have the same problem and i would like to know how to fix it ..
thanks all
-Did you try using "Pocket Shield"?, i use it with Da_G 6.5 rom too.
-It's a locking program with amazing options to lock/unlock your device (with light, stylus, slide, gestures)
-AND has the option to vibrate when call connected and is as subtle as de touch pro/diamond dialer. Just a short vibration after the call is engaged.
-Works great for me...
-IT IS NOT FREEWARE though... googleeeeeeee

Could someone please post a picture of the standard dialer in the Kaiser?
Here's a picture of mine:
Thank you.
This is the default WM6 dialer (not sure whether it has smartdialing enabled, but usually it does). You can try switching to the HTC dialer with KaiserTweak, but that might not work (if the dialer images are not on the phone). If it doesn't work - just revert back using KaiserTweak to the WM6 dialer . Personally I prefer this dialer with smartdialing because the contacts that were dialed before show up first when dialing a name...
Also - I think schap has a dialer too - something called reTouched or so. But I didn't try it...
Thank you
But I will need a dialer with local language support.
This is not the default WM6 dialer, This is the default WM5 dialer...
I was told the same in a local forum
The question is, which dialer can I install that will support other languages?
Another option would be to customize the skin of a dialer that I like and will fit the Tilt. In this case, can anyone point me to the exact steps required to do so?
Thank you.
Don't know about localizing. Regarding whether it's the WM5 or WM6 dialer, what's the difference? When I look at the screen it looks exactly the same as the dialer on my Kaiser (WM6) when I turn of the HTC dialer (using the reg-tweak or KaiserTweak).
Regards,
Nika.
Nika, could you please expand on that?

I use EZDIAL on my Tilt, and I had the default smart dialing turned on.
This resulted in the EZDIAL serch results being obscured by the smart dialing popup window (which basically emulates what EZDIAL does, only with a nicer presentation).
I then turned off smart dialing, and can now see the EZDIAL results on screen.
But the thing is, I wanted to use a nicer smart dialer than EZDIAL, and tried to install a localized one posted in a local forum by Nadavi (a distinguished member here), and it didn't work.
So I wanted to understand why this was happening, and was told that my Tilt couldn't have any other dialer than the default one (since I'm with the standard ROM, and I need a localized skin).

How can i change to HTC dilaer??? As on the second picture???

That's the question...
As I replayed before:
I suggest the following:
1. find a full install of the dialer(I don't know of any).
2. change your rom to an HTC rom(much better! ))
3. find an answer at XDA....
wisniak, I replayed your question on ppcfreak.
Quickest way to the Dialer
This may be a silly question, but without opening the keyboard, what is the quickest way to get the dialer to appear on the screen?

Try Pressing the Green Call button on your device, that should bring up the dialer.
To change to the default WM6 dialer, which is actually listed above as the 2nd HTC dialer. Here is the registry key that needs changed:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Security / Phone / Skin
Change the value of 'Enabled' from 1 to 0
Please note, that there is no video calling available using this dialer.
Just thought I would clarify a little bit on what these dialers actually are:
At&t WM6 Dialer:
HTC Touch style dialer:
Default Microsoft WM6 dialer:
Default Microsoft WM5 dialer:
I used Kaiser Tweak and the dialer definitely looks different now
I'll post an image later today.

Dude, you are absolutely wrong,
The first is the built in WM6 dialer, available on every WM6 phone edition (you can unhide it with a tweak manager) - all WM^ phone editions have it(never mind the colors)
The secound is the "smartdialing" HTC dialer - available only on HTC phone editions devices,(never mind the colors)
Here's what it looks now:
This is the dialer skin I have after using the Kaiser Tweak.
EZDIAL does not come up, even though it's properly installed.
Hi,
Has anyone got the s2u2 Slide to Answer feature working?
I've got S2A turned on, but when a call comes in, it looks like S2A and the TouchFlo answer screen are fighting it out as to which one gets control... there is lots of flickering on the display, and it switches back and forth between the S2A and the Touchflo answer screens.
If you press the screen, it seems that the TouchFlo is getting priority, as the Answer or Ignore buttons will work, even if they aren't actually being displayed.
Anyone managed to get this working properly?
I'm using S2U2 version 1.03.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Regards,
Ben

That sounds like fun.
I suppose you can disable TouchFLO 3D, although you probably don't want to do that. You might be able to stop TouchFLO 3D from handling calls with a registry edit, although I doubt it...
I have the same problem. After several tries, I found two solutions. The first one is using AdvanceConfig to disable 'phone skin', after restart, s2u2 works properly. But the dialpad is no longer the diamond style. The second one is to install another dialpad to replace the existing diamond dialpad.
But i really love the existing diamond dialpad, so I gave up the s2u2. hehe, really hope someone can fix this problem.
So can you still utilize all the other S2U2 goodness besides S2A feature? If so, I'd happily turn off S2A and keep all else. Though a proper solution would also be the preference.
yes, other functions work in a good condition
i really love the existing diamond dialpad, so I gave up the s2u2. hehe, really hope someone can fix this problem.
has someone found a solution?
i blocked the touch function of the screen when there is incoming call. So now i use hardkey to pick up the phone. For s2u2, A_C also realized the problem, hope he can fix it in the near furture

I'd like this answer too, i love so much s2a and the other functions but i love the classical tflo dial pad(i'm a little bit confused about all the tweaking and installing out the box apps that may get in conflict with others!)
However i still think that Diamond will be a superphone in one month or two with all the geniuses around here
There is another thread with exactly this issues. If you have managed to block the touch screen and just allow the hard keys, how did you do it?
up up.
Does anyone found a solution? My S2U2 worked great, untill this morning.....Now I have the same problem.
How can help.....
You can keep touchflo3d dial pad with S2U2, just have to edit registry "HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch" make a new Key called "Disable4SpecificApp", and inside this another one called "S2U2", inside this a new string wich "value name" is "classname" and its "value data" is "S2U2"
Disabling the dialer skin on the Diamond made me gain 10MB RAM and made the device much more responsive.
But, it also decreased the visual quality considerably. Default WM phone skin is ugly.
My question is, is there a way to install a skin that looks better and still does not waste much RAM?
I remember trying many dialer skins on my original Touch, but none of them were VGA.
i am interested in a new phone dialer. I installed some dialer in my htc p3300 and run very well, including the smartdialing. it would be possible to install a new phone skin dialer with the old smartdialing to the diamond?, i think the only problem is to find one with smartdialing, vga grafics and videocall.
thank you.
There are dialers with smart dialing, but so far none for VGA.
I'm surprised more people aren't interested in an alternative considering the default dialer takes 10MB RAM for nothing.
also looking for a phone skin that is vga for diamond. i too felt my device runs better with the diamond phone dialer disabled, but would like a different look to the windows version.
many thanks
Looking for subj, too
Wow - 10 mb. Thinks i shall disable mine...
Here, not sure if it helps but skins for standard wm 6 dialer. One looks just like it was made for diamond (remove the $ signs) 4$p$d$a.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=78093&st=450
Removing the diamond dialer will also disable the incoming call screen?
Yup, this disables the incoming call screen too. Would really like a new dialer skin
Where does the 10mb come from?
Graphics? Can we not compress these graphics so when the phone is about to ring, it doesnt have to load up as much graphics etc. Might make it more responsive to incoming calls.
If the 10mb is from extra functionality then i suppose were stuck unless theres another dialer.
Is there a VGA skin for S2u2? i always use to use the incoming call screen from s2u2
So how about disabling the diamond dialer skin, and using a skinned s2u2 incomg call screen? Then im sure theres a standard dial pad skin to look like the diamond.
So vga diamond lookalike s2u2 skin??
I've tried all the phone dialers I found with google... nothing worked so untill HTC makes a good phone dialer with no 3 sec delay I'll stick with the default windows dialer and with a tweak the 3 sec is gone (only with wav files)

could you explain this tweak please? I have tried so many dialer/skin combos for VGA Wing and it drives me nuts that even at XDA there is no great dialer available.
I'm looking for large keypad and something other than black-this, black-that. I've seen the manilla dialer skins but they don't work too well for vga. but still, as for dialer software itself, I too add my name to this list of people still wishing to find an alternative.
There's a .cab file for WM5 wich works on WM6.1 that disables the 3 sec delay only if you use the default dialer ( wich is very ugly and I don't like it) and .wav files.. but I got a problem after that , when ringing the ringtone was very choppy and with interuptions... I did an Hard Reset ... and I'm waiting for a new dialer

Disabling the phone skin also disables being able to raise or lower volume during calls.

You can remove the HTC Volume Control with this cab here:

This will allow you to change in call volume again.

- no wireless/comm manager
- some bitmaps doesn't look very well (not a big problem)
- strange names in Buttons settings

i need port original applications form palm wm5 to more usable on this palm
1-2 days for it
i dont like palm messaging
original is better for me
I used default messaging for a long time (so called "lite" version of 6.1)
The biggest problem for me is comm manager and power button. Accidentialy I flashed again to your rom so I'll stick with this one now, try to configure it for my needs (it's just question of few apps to cure most of "problems").
Can't wait to see next version.
Best regards.

haven't tried the clean version, but on the new palm version, the soft menu is the old version and links like phone settings or today settings dont work. *have to use start menu*
also not able to connect to an exchange server. link to set it up in activesync seems to be dead.
red button, and wireless manager seem to work.
will check out the clean version as well.
edit: reset the phone. activesync, email, and exchange all work.
soft key bar still isn't like your first update *i assume it changed in 6.5, and this is the old version* and phone and today settings links in soft menu are still broken.
edit#2: seems the email account isn't listed in the accounts settings window. also at least one keyboard shortcut didn't work (whitebutton + P for brightness settings) i assume this has to do with the "weird" names programs have listed under buttons.

thx for test i repair it today
Just downloaded your rom, will let you know the details soon
Ok here is the review of this rom, the one with palm oem applications and commmanager,
Pros:
Fast and stable
Volume is better compare to 6.1
It has inbuilt mass storage driver which 6.1 lack
Shortcut are sorted in appropriate folders in start menu
Black Theme is default, which is very good
Display is better compare to 6.1
There are 2 flavour of Wmplayer
Comm Manager is now full functional
And More............
Cons:
Instead of green light to show the network now its showing orange,
Vibrate is not working
There is slight jerk in display while changing screen from one program to another
There is no Call screen, Mean when you are answering a call or had dialed a call you want be able to see the duration of the call.
Hi there, thank you very much for your great work. I have a quick question: My Treo has a German (QWERTZ) keyboard, will it be detected somehow?, or the ROM will asume its a QWERTY keyboard. I don't mind the OS being in English, that would even be better, is there a quick way to patch the ROM to make it work with the QWERTZ keyboard?
Thank you so much in advance.
About in call screen. It's all around ActiveCall and DialLookup plugins. Maybe changing some registry values will fix it (I had similar situations once and editing some registry solved my problems). Tomorrow I'll compare some of my keyes with working wm6.
-If your syncing to an Exchange server, the Manage Folders function does not work to be able to select addition folders.
-blank HTCSETTINGS icon under System.. appears to do nothing
- 2 PHONE apps under Personal settings. Different functions, but named the same
- There is something off with trying to go into Messages from the Today screen. Takes a few clicks to actually make it work. It doesn't do it everytime.
That's all I found for the moment.. obviously WLAN option does nothing on mine
I've noticed one more thing: there's no "white dot" indicating text input with active function key. It's a bit tricky when you try to type password and you don't see what you write...
But in general it works very well. But installing "hidelogo" caused reset loop and I had to hard-reset.
Great work!
EDIT:
Change HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items/"Dial Lookup"/Type from 4 to 6 <- it will fix active-call-screen-problem Works for me.
i build new version today with all palm applications and battery test show me 14days
it is quickly then last version i upload it soon
it need some small fixes

Hi there,
I just picket up the code of butlef app made by siggie1970
Butler - Using capacitive area as stroke launcher and many more features
Original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464611
I decide to put some new features like layout change on keyboard slide out. It is useful for stoping SIP poping out. You can point to nullkb or any other layout.
Setings available in registry by any registry editor or by AdvancedConfig (configuration file and only Butler section for config file below)
New features added:
1. Feature lets you to set keyboard layout on keyboard slide in/out.
defautl values for IN - Full Qwerty, for OUT - nullKB. Configurable via registry keys:
EnableSIPChangerKbd
KbdInSIP
KbdOutSIP
2. (Butler1.2) After slide in (in my Rom) some services or apps ?? sets back the Compact layout. So double check added to butler - if after slide in 2sec keyboard was changed to something else but not the KbdInSIP, butler sets it again, otherwise no action performed.
that's more like it! I'll check it out after my ROM release, I'm currently building it right now
Thanks linuxis,
I'll test the new slide function. Wondering what wil happen happen when the keyboard is slid out and I pull my stylus out
I'll also let you know if the errors are still there if there is no HKCU\ControlPanel\Profiles key and value like Noonski pointed out. Might wanna include the settings in the cab.
Cheers,

Good idea about "HKCU\ControlPanel\Profiles" Next release...
i have the old one
does this one let you use both sip change from stylus and keyboard? cause that was pretty much the one missing feature or is it just keyboard now?
and if i install this cab will i gotta redo all the links and such. aaand is there any settings or same reg edits only?

Yes, it lets you to change both. Separate registry keys for configuration.
No setings - you can use AdvancedConfig or registry editor. I thing that setings
is not used often and application would be bigger and more complex. So no plans for setings.
After install it will overwrite registry setings. If you want to keep old ones - save.
i had added the settings into advanced config for the old version
are you able to see the new feature of keyboard out sip setting in there? i only see the old settings so far
(and what is the number letter code for nullkb? thanks) im an idiot i searched around the interweb finally got the code then went to edit the setting and realized it was arleady set to nullkb blah but great job with the update coudlnt be happier
I had tried to use Butler with NATF ver 4.1 and it frooze the phone at the reboot screen. I had to do a hard reset, do you know if this version has the same issue?
Yup it does on certain roms. I have bo idea why some roms do and some roms dont have the problem.
Advice would still be to always make a full backup of your rom before installing this program!

No idea also. Mine device with ROMeOS 1.51 works fine.
One slite issue - if butler was initialised in portrait mode after slide out/int keyboar changes to one you've configured, but after few seconds it changes to compact qwerty .... if you initialize with keyboard slide out/in keyboard changes to what you've configured and stays (as it should be).
I've investigated that issue shortly, so no idea where is the issue. But I will.
It seems that not the butler changes to the compact kdb.
Does anyone has the same ??

linuxis, I was checking the code before maybe you could disable setting of SIP on initialization? On the old code, I think it's on Butlerlib.cpp line 862 to 878.

Let me know if that works because I don't see the point of having the SIP initialized on startup in the code-- Butler will be detecting the change of stylus in/out (or in your case slide-in/slide-out) anyway when the main thread starts (correct me if I'm wrong about this )
Which ROMs work
Firstly - loving Butler, it's an excellent addition to the phone and if HTC have half a brain it'll be in the next standard ROM released!
Is there any chance we could post up which ROMs work with Butler and which don't? Just thinking it'll save people some time hard resetting and setting up their phones again if they're on a non-working ROM.
Qsqa's PROven ROM 2.1 - Working fine
At0mAng V4.0 - Shows keyboard during boot up, but works fine after that
Qsqa's PROven ROM 2.2 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
Elite RC3 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
Anyone care to chip in their experiences?
PDAVIET V12 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
PDAVIET V13 - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing
DA_G Kitchen ROMS - Freezes on boot up with keyboard showing (at least the ones I cooked)
Off topic, with a combination of SlideActions & KforTouchPro (and butler for the null keyboard) I now have my SIP's and keyboard working like the should. XT9 when needed, and MS$ driver when the keyboard is slide out. So now I can actualy use the keyboard in iGO8 en Ctrix clients!
Thanks!
Cheers

RREv4 freezes as well
Alternativly, although not quite as developed as butler, TouchLockPro now allows for the launching of programs/command parameters for capacitive swipes and actually adds four more capacitive swipes than what butler does. Likewise it does NOT freeze upon start up for whatever reason on any rom I've tried.
proven works
[BUG] Problem with Manilla.
It has problem with manilla. After launching app its a must to change active tab if you want launch this or another app again.
Does Butler still allow you to scroll zoom messages and zoom in/out in Opera?

Yes, Butler doesn't impact on the touch sensitive circle area at all, it only notices and interprets light swipes over the call/home/back buttons.
