Using Total Commander, navigate to:

Change the value of Enabled to 0
Soft Reset

You will now have the original blue windows phone skin and no more operator skin.

Keep your CAB files after installation

Tweak the scrollbars on your HTC Wizard

When doing this hack, I loose the smartdial function !!

Submitted by thefa on Wed, 05/07/2006 - 10:56.

Hi,

I have the Orange SPV M3000 packaging of the Wizard. I'm trying to get rid of the stupid background color of the phone app (dark brown and black font !!!).

I did change the registry parameter as suggested here, did get the nice standard blue color but lost the smartdialing function. When I go "Menu/Smart dialing options" I get nothing.
When I change back th registry parameter, I get back the smartdialling, but also the ugly colors:-(

Anyone has seen this? What am I missing?

Thanks in advance for your help.

That's just the way it is

Submitted by Stanley on Wed, 05/07/2006 - 13:42.

This is a known downside of this tweak. You either have to live with the standard skin and have smart dialing, or have a custom skin without smart dailing. AFAIK there is no way to have a custom skin without losing smart dialing.

Stanley, thanks for the feedback. To be sure to be sure I understand correctly, what you call custom vs standard skin is what exactly?

On the Orange SPV M3000, the Orange customized skin has smart dialing but ugly colors and when using the tweak I seem to go back to the standard windows one, but no smart dialing?

Thanks.

Change ugly dialer skin

Submitted by bart on Thu, 20/07/2006 - 13:02.

I'm new to the community, but my idea is that instead of
changing of the whole dialer skin, one could change
only the dark background bitmap to something better so
the original skin would look more clear.
I've found bkgnd_port.bmp bitmap in \Windows,
but I cannot change it since it is system file.
Probably the solution is easy but I don't know it.
Anybody could help ?

Phone Skin on T-Mobile??

Submitted by brettducker on Thu, 13/07/2006 - 17:56.

Hiya,

I've changed the registry value and I when I reset my T-Mobile skin is still there, i've checked the registry and it's still changed...

Any ideas???

T-Mobile Still Hanging around

Submitted by chrispy on Thu, 03/08/2006 - 11:45.

OK...I've got an interesting one... I too am running on T-Mobile and have found that even when I disable their dialler, the t-mobile logo still remains in the top left corner (ie. right below the windows menu and right above the 'Last Call:' text). Strangely enough, it stays there regardless of whether I simply leave the default windows dialler up there, or if I try to install one of the many custom skins noted in this post.

Has anybody else come across this?

Cheers!

Losing Smartdialing

Submitted by thevic on Sat, 04/11/2006 - 09:06.

I have the 8125. I renamed the carrierlogo.gif file and was able to lose the cingular logo. Unfortunately the samrtdialing feature is also lost. I renamed the gif back to the original name and soft reset phone but smartdialing is still not resumed.

I checked the registry and found a key

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD\SmartDialing with an entry like 2_2_22954_1_Disable

It seems the phone disables smartdialing if someone tries to remove or change logo. Any ideas how I can get smartdialing back. Would you please let me know what is the key value for the registry entry given above.

Thanks

Enable=1
All of sudden Smart Dialing started working. Big save. I don't care about service provider logo but I do need smart dialing. I hope this will help for you.
