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.

grizzley said:
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...

Vibrate while dialing a Phone Number

First of all I love my new TyTN II and XDA-Developers!
Question: Anybody know of a hack or a .cab that will make my touch pad numbers vibrate when I dial a number? This way I know when I've pressed a touch button on the display - had it on my MDA Compact II and loved it!
PS: I've attached the two .cab files I use to have, but they don't work on the Kaiser...

Instructions Using a registry editor navigate to the following keys and follow the directions. Do this for each of the listed registy keys
1. Rename Standard DWORD parameter "Sound" to "Sound1"
2. Create new String Parameter "Sound"
3. Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf#
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf*

Notes A softboot is required
to change back to the default function, go back through the list of registry keys, delete the "sound" entry, and rename "sound1" back to "sound"
note: the * needs to be entered in the value for "*vibrate*"
This tweak really makes it easier to know that you have pressed a button when dialing on the touch screen
have fun!

here's the cab.

very good
there is a delay until the vibration begins,
if you are used to tapping the numbers quickly..
otherwise GREAT find
thank you
regards
krassen

To be clear...
There is a delay when you push the first number. After that the vibe is almost instantaneous.
At least on my Tilt.

same with me...not even worth installing... i dont dial that slow..

Amazing Tool!
The initial delay doesn't bother me...
Simple to install & simple to use!
Big Thanks!

I installed the program and it works great when you are making the call initially...but call is connected and I tried to key in (like entering numbers on an automatic response system), it doesn't vibrate.
Normal?

works fine for me. this is the .cab file. drag it into your phone, and run it from the phone and it should install.
do not unzip the cab prior to install. just dl it, drag to phone, open from phone, and it should install fine.

same thing with me

From a previous thread on this, I thought that the cab version had the delay but the direct reg edit method was virtually instantaneous, but I haven't verifed this.

I installed it, was working about half the time (key presses) , then I deinstalled it. Now the standard "Options" for key tones (short tone, long tone) do not work and the keypad is not very accurate. Is there a way to correct for this?

thanks rico, decided not to install it after they fixes the "bugs" with delay...

the delay doesn't bother me too much, seems to be an issue with the first number pressed. I backed up after dialing a number and it had the "delay" when I started the new number. cool little cab. thanks

MyFaves application supressing MISSED CALLS!

After sleuthing through the forum archives I have finally found out why I have not been getting missed call notifications on my phone. The MyFaves collection of programs (I do not know which one) are recording the missed calls in their own log, not the one that the phone uses to give notifications. I am using ultimate launcher and the Myfaves Today-plugin is hidden.
The problem:
When contacts on the "myfaves list" call and get missed, there is ONLY a notification on the myfaves application. If the today plugin for myfaves is disabled you will only be able to see that you've missed a call by looking at your call history.
The suggested solutions:
1) Many have suggested removing "list" from HKLM/security/phones/nolog registry.
What happens to me is that the list file is regenerated every soft-reset!!
2) I have used the deletemy5messagecenter.cab.
The cab, they do nothing. All it did was make my5msgcenter unrecognizable.
3)Flash the wing with any ROM not containing myfaves
Maybe some other time
My own questions:
1) How do I permanently remove 'List'?
2)Is there a way to remove My5App.exe, My5MsgCenter.exe, My5Service.exe from my windows folder? They are always checked as "read only" and "system" files.
Thanks for your help!

Yeah, MyFaves can be managed through my-tmobile.com, and I'd really rather not having the app on my Wing. Many times when I press the Talk button twice (to dial the last person I called) it will dial the last Fave I called... not cool.
I'll prob end up flashing a custom ROM onto my Wing eventually, but if there's an easy way to get rid of MyFaves in the mean time, that would be great.
NS

I found this reg edit in a thread here of people who wanted to use for non-myfave plans.
HKLM > SOFTWARE > HTC > My5 > SMSC > CmdGet > StateRequest
Open value ClientService and change the value from 1 to 0
The above steps work for a while but then the same issue started up even with the myafve app disabled so I tried fooling around with the other settings within the myfave reg sections but they restored to the default setting after a reset & the same problems continued. I finally restored my phone from a back I had & disabled it again. After that everything was in place but I found at the start of my current bill cycle I got a ota that set the myfave display back on my phone. I had to enable it & turn the display off & disable it all over again. So far all my calls are being logged with the custom tones I have in place.

1. Install a custom ROM.
2. Install HTCHome if it's not in the ROM you chose.
3. Setup HTCHome to handle your "top 5".
4. Use tmobile's site or call in to change the top five when you have to.
Now you have your problem fixed and oodles of more free RAM, storage space and a much faster device.

Hmmmm... it does seem like the only way is to install a custom ROM on there. This is because the software is self regenerating. Too bad... I guess the reason I couldn't find an answer is because this problem doesn't exist because everyone has custom roms.

Well... under hklm/services disable the SMSC something or other...
Then under \windows\startup items, rename the my5 item. Powercycle then delete the item. That should disable it from turning itself on. A custom ROM will always be better, though.
If I had two phones, I'd make a video comparison of a stock ROM and a custom ROM...
As far as VGCats go, they do rock, and I haven't gone to his site in a while because I noticed he stopped updating it. What's up with him?

Thanks for the reply my friend. I'll try it out.
Scott from VG cats got busy with his personal life, but he promised regular updates a few weeks ago.

Update:
Okay, So I had already removed the my5 link from my \windows\startup folder. Then I Changed the registry entry at hklm\software\htc\my5\smsc\cmd get\staterequest. I changed value of 1 ==> 0 for "ClientUIOnOff".
After a soft reset The ClientUIOnOff was still set to 0. I no longer had a myfav icon in my today tray.
After calling my phone and initiating a missed call. My phone would still not notify me of a missed call from a fav of mine.
I'm going to try and delete the "list" registry value I mentioned earlier... stay tuned viewers of few.
update to my update:
"list" still returns! oh dear... I'll have to work on this tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's help!

So I went into the registry and went to HKLM > SOFTWARE > HTC > My5. I changed the name of the "My5" folder to "disabled My5" folder. soft-reseted and upon reset I deleted my "list" entry in the registry. Wahlah It worked. A missed call from a myfav was notified by my phone!

Did you remove the SMSC service from the registry? Oh and I forgot, also from the hklm/init

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

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"

Hi, thannks for the direct links. I'm going to try installing it. i hope it'll be fine.

Text Message Times

When ever I send a text message, I get the correct time I sent it, but when I receive a text message the time of when I received is completely off. I know this is wrong because I tested it with my friends phone. Anyone else have this problem or knows how to fix it thanks.

Try to do a registry edit.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\
Then add a dword key called "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a dword value of 0
Then soft reset.
See if that helps.

Sorry, but I'm completely new at this. How would I even go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE? Is this through the xperia itself or through the computer?

You'll need to install a program that can edit your phone's registry.
Something like this:
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
After you have it, you should backup your registry in case and be careful of changes you make since you could end up needing to hard reset. But really, you just navigate to where I posted and then create the new path. This should fix the SMS times for future messages.

I followed your instructions, but my problem still persists. Anything else I could do?

When you go back into the registry, do you see the new entry made (with the exact name and value)? Did you soft reset?

Hi, i had the exact same issue, the phone had changed time zome to +3 instead of +2 (probably igo8 messed it) and i kept receiving sms with wrong time..!! check it that it is correct..!

was pointed to this thread since I opened another with the same issue. I downloaded PHMRegEdit and tried to install it. It went through okay, but doesn't seem to want to install onto my phone itself. Had problems installing other programs through the same thing. Only way I've had any luck installing programs was with moving CAB files over and installing them directly on my phone.
So, without being able to change my registry, I did try to see what would happen with just changing the time zone. Tried a couple different ones and if I went to -1 instead of -5 (eastern Canada here) then it showed the right time. But as soon as I went back to -5 it changed all the inbound times again. Really weird since this is only on inbound messages and not outbound as well.

got it. Had to use a different program, but it worked.

what different program did you use? Because I'm still having trouble with my inbound messages.

CeRegEdit. Works from your computer. You plug in your phone and it can grab the registry from your phone, edit it, save it, and soft reset it, all withing Windows on your computer. Nice little program.

This is my value:
Value name:
TrustTimeZoneField
Value data:
0
Base:
Decimal
Value Type:
REG_DWORD
Did I do something wrong?

yea, that's what I have. After I added it then my texting time was fixed. Though I don't know why this registry isn't in the ROMs to begin with.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\
and you add it right there. I know there are other folders to expand, but you don't put it in the other folders, you select PhoneSettings on the left hand side, then on the right you'll see all the registry lines like
Enable3GLongNamePrefix
Last_SMS_Tick
LongNamePrefix
PhoneSettingExt-DLL
etc, etc
My TrustTimeZoneField is the last one on that list with the REG_DWORD of 0

i googled and found bestRegEdit version 1.00 as what is writen in the about of the program www.smartphoneware.com search there its a trial but it will solve ur problem....i have the time fixed but there is 6 to 10 min pluse wish i helped

Thanks everyone, for some reason the inbound text message times are now correct. Turns out it now works because I had to remove my battery to change the sim card, then when I turned my phone on, everything has been corrected.
