Hey all!
I recently put a new ROM on my Orange SPV M1000 (Sin's Merged v2).
After getting the correct GPRS settings from Orange all is pretty great! The screen looks much better and it all runs a bit smoother.
My only issues are as follows:
Can I change the boot splash screens? I don't really like the O2 logo all over my Orange phone
In the top taskbar the O2 logo appears next to my network signal. Is there any way to get rid of it?
Last one: When I take a picture, the 'send' button doesn't do anything. Before I could press it and it would give me the option of sending by MMS or e-mail but now it just doesn't do anything. To send a picture by mail or MMS I have to take it then compose the message seperately.
Nothing too bad, just things I'd like to change if I can!
special o2 sotfware is in the extened rom you can open and remove the stuff you dont want like that icon
or you can look in windows\startup
and remove the shortcut to the o2 thing you dont want
or you can try removing it from the today screen items if thats where it's at
here is how the splash is changed

Thanks for the info Rudegar!
I've attached a picture with the O2 icon i'd like to get rid of.
As for the splash screen, I'll take a look a bit later on since it looks a little more complicated than i thought it might be

it's cab file called "connections.cab"
Ah! I see!!!
Thanks for that!
Also, I updated my splash screens last night. No more O2 for me!
Thanks for the help guys!
Hi
I wan't to know if there is any way to remove the orange personalization from my Spanish SPV M3100. (remove orange menu, orange color...)
Can I put the Spanish Vodafone personalization?
Can I remove the personalization, and put the hermes device "generic"?
Thank you in advance...
look here
So If I understand this, I could upload an extended rom like vodafone spanish to my spv m3100 ???
I got my second m3100 this morning.
Normally, I am against original network roms because they are bulky but the other day, someone mentioned the orange one being reliable.
I'm on t-mobile and this time, I left it as it is.
I used to run the I-mate one but small things like having to reset the phone when it stops installing at the today screen and so on got to me. Its like doinga format then stopping it midway.
Anyway, that did not stop me removing the orange desktop.
Simply go to start>settings and Today
then on the items tab, uncheck orange but check the reset (what u want)
That will get rid of the orange desktop.
On the themes tab (the one before the items tab) set it to windows default and thats your orange colours gone.
Lastly, just input your MMS/GPRS and EMAIL settings according to your network and remove the orange ones.
On WM6.5 and WM6.5.x you have the option of using the new sliding lock screen. I for one prefer to use the old 'Windows Classic' lock screen (i.e. the one where you have to tap the soft key then an unlock button like in WM6.1, see images), as it uses less memory and allows me to see the today screen. However, on many ROMs for HTC phones, even stock ROMs, it doesn't seem to work properly with regards to incoming calls.
When you receive an incoming call, the lock screen pops up asking you to tap unlock, but it is unresponsive and obscures the caller ID screen, meaning you can't see who's calling you or the accept / reject slider. On phones / ROMs were it does work properly, you sometimes still have to press the unlock button manually before you can do anything.
This had annoyed me for ages and I couldn't find a solution, so since I am learning C++ at uni, I decided to try and teach myself Win32 programming and create a a program to fix it. The result was this little utility, my first windows mobile app
The program basically just sits and waits for an incoming call, and when the system notifies it of one, if the device is locked it waits for the unlock screen to pop up and then very quickly presses the '*' key. The result is that the device unlocks before the screen messes up, allowing you to see the dialler! The app is very lightweight (executable is only ~6KB), fast (native code), and does not use the CPU whilst idle since it makes use of the windows messaging notification system. Should theoretically work on any resolution on any device, but I've only tested it on my Touch Pro2 (WVGA).
I originally made this just for myself, but XDA Developers has been so useful to me over the years I thought it would be nice to share it with you guys For this reason it is provided as is, I may or may not add to it. I'll try and fix any bugs and stuff if they arise, but I'd like to keep it a simple, lightweight app.
[size=+1]VERSION HISTORY:[/size]
1.0 - Initial Release
1.1 - Multilingual support. If v1.0 works for you, you don't have to upgrade but you can if you like.
Fixed the bug that causes program to crash if not using an English ROM.
Removed message box that tells you you're using the sliding lock. Program now just exits silently.
CAB file now changes the registry key to disable the sliding lock screen for you.
[size=+1]INSTALLATION:[/size]
I've attached the EXE in a zip file, simply unzip, place it on your device somewhere and run it to activate the program. Run it again to exit the program. You might like to place a shortcut in \Windows\Startup. The program will not run if you have the WM6.5 sliding lock enabled, you need to have set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen] "Enable"= dword:00000000 (obviously).
I've also made a cab file which just simply places the EXE in \Program Files\DeviceLockXT, and creates a startup shortcut and the reg key for you, if you prefer
If you already have DeviceLockXT installed and are installing a newer version, you probably need to stop the old one from running first, and you should probably uninstall the old CAB before installing the new one. I don't know what difference it will make if any.
Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: In the unlikely event that this program damages your device / causes you to lose data / kills your cat / whatever, I am not responsible. Use at your own risk.
Feel free to include it in a custom ROM if you like!
This looks interesting. Like you, I also do not like the latest lock screen (I've been searching forever for a better one). Does yours support PIN lock? And if you wouldn't mind, I think it'd be cool to see a screenshot (or just a google image), I'm not sure if I remember the classic lock screen you are referring to...
Certainly! Images added & first post updated
The reason I like it is that it isn't a lock screen as such, more of a lock softkey. This allows you to see through to the lovely HTC flip clock when the phone is locked / you turn it on to see the time. You only see the rather ugly looking grey screen when you want to unlock the device.
The program will run if you have PIN lock enabled, but there is no need to use the program in this case, it will literally sit there doing nothing. If you are using the PIN lock then the dialler screen works fine, at least on my phone anyway
To use the Windows Classic Lock Screen with a PIN just set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"Enable"=dword:00000000
Then enable a PIN in Settings > Lock and you're good to go! No need to install my program You can also set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen]
"ShowLockScreenPicker"=dword:00000001
To get an extra tab in Settings > Lock which lets you change lock screen without editing the registry.
EDIT: There is not supposed to be a space between the c and r in LockScreen in the reg keys, don't know why the forum does that.
I'm also a fan of the "Windows Classic Lock Screen", and have encountered the same problem that you describe!
So thanks a lot for this great tool, I'm trying it ASAP.
i see your point of locking and seeing at the same time your home screen right there and then and i think i'm liking it. i'll give it a try. any chance to change the "ugly" gray unlock screen to something else? a simple black one would be good for me, or better still to a customized background.
edit: btw, does this work on stock wm 6.5? it says 6.5+ in your post.
Yup, I meant 6.5+ as in 6.5 and above (including both 6.5 and 6.5.x)
Not that I know of, the grey screen is part of the windows mobile locking program itself so I don't think it can be easily changed. On some ROMs I have tried the grey screen is skipped entirely, unlocking straight away when you press the softkey, but this is tied to something at the ROM level I think. So it's possible, but I don't have the time or ability to figure it out
Another way to do it would be to write your own locking program from the ground up that mimics the standard windows classic one, then you could do what you like, which interestingly is what I tried initially. But it was much harder than I thought! Defeats the point of utilising what is already on your phone though, which is what I like to to (minimal 3rd party software).
I repeat my program is NOT a stand alone lockscreen, but a utility to hopefully make the built in one work properly. In my opinion the windows classic lock is fine as it is, apart from the issue my program aims to fix
Great job!
This little app works very well and it does what it promises.
The grey screen is something that I've seached how to change for quite some time, but haven't found nothing. It would be very cool if we could edit it!
This is just awesome...thanks so much for sharing...
What about cooking this program into ROM? Is it fine to do so?
Yeah sure, it says so at the very end of the first post (under 'Disclaimer')
Uch, sorry, I never read disclaimers or other important notes.
Keep up great work. I'll include this software into my ROMs if I don't find anything annoying
thank you very much.this problem is annoying me for a long time,i'll have a try.is this work well,i'll get a reply.wish it work well and jack use it in his roms~
It's work very well in my phone,thank you very much~good job~
Been using this for a day or so now...no complains...works as intended. Thank you!
i find a problem with the app.when i use the app,the screenlight is turn on and turn off,it's change all the time.when i use the swith button to turn off the screen light,the screen light will turn on soon.and if i close the app ,the screen light became well.what's the wrong?can you help me ?
I'm not sure what would be causing that behaviour, what device are you using? What version of windows mobile / ROM are you using? Do you have any other screen lock type apps installed?
It is nice
but unfortunately it works only for WM6.1
i hope i can find one for WM6.5

Hi Guyz,
I was playing around with the BsB Tweaks and after that I have set an unlock code on the phone. The unlock screen is completely different now and after inputting the unlock code nothing is happening. I am 100% im putting the correct one as i said it out loud with my bf next to me and it was just few seconds after I set it.
Not sure what to do now as I dont really want hard reset.. I have memories in that phone for the past2 years and I DO NOT want to loose everything.
Any ideas how I can get rid of the code.
Also if I click on menu it gives me the option to reset password but it is not click-able. Just the same way the UNLOCK is not click-able after putting in the correct code.
Can someone help me with that?
What 6.5.x ROM are you on !
What did you play around with in BSB Tweaks ?
Did you set this lock via standard WM lock ?
How many digits in your Password ?
Do you use CHT slider lockscreen rather than default ?

ENErgY ROM
I am not sure which ones, I believe there was something about the unlock screen display
Standard WM lock
6
CHT slider. Yes I believe that was it also in the BsB Tweaks or CHT Layout screen. I cant really remember.
Is there a way to sort this out without hard reset?
I just remembered that when I was setting the unlock code I didnt select how many minutes. It stayed on 0 minutes. I used it like that before as well and it was okay.. I tried removing the battery, the sim card and so on but nothing helps..
Please anyone who has a similiar issues can u help ?
Thanks

Found this
About the CHT lockscreen:
Currently, the CHT lock screen does not support any PIN code or password protected unlocking.
Remove any unlock codes before turning on the CHT lockscreen or you will be permanently locked out of your device and you'll have to do a hard reset.
If you are using a gsensor app to automatically rotate the screen and you have it to always rotate, you should add the class "CHTLockscreen" to the exception list.
If you don't have the rotation app set rotate everything, but only a list of desired programs, then you don't have anything to worry about.
If you need to lock the CHT lockscreen externally, you can do it with this: "\Windows\CHT_Helper.exe -lock"
I am just wondering before i do the hard reset if there is anything out there that is able to fix this issue with the CHT lock screen..
Thank
As far as I know no...
I think you change lock screen layout from HTC to Windows default or CHT lock screen hence style layout change but the reason for not unlocking is probably due to CHT lockscreen if you have indeed activated this, does warn you when seting CHT lockscreen not to proceed if using WM PIN lock & not to use with WM PIN lock.
Think a hard reset is going to be only way out but hang on for a while & do some research & thinking on what exactly you adjusted.
Lesson to learn here is Backups, so easy to backup with likes of SPB Backup & makes issues like this not a big problem.
I learnt the hard way too, hopefully some of your personal data will be on SD.
Good luck ...
Have you tried connecting to pc via usb/active sync just in case it accepts PIN in that scenario ! worth trying everything before a HR ...
I want to disable the standard lockscreen of WM6.5.x, because I want to use S2U2.
What to do?
Normally, during the installation process the standard lockscreen will be disabled.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
But it is still on -.- Double locked every time...
Same thing happened to me today. All I did to fix it was to un-install S2U2, soft reset, re-install S2U2, run S2U2 from the menu and finally do another soft reset. No more double locking.
Hope this helps.
I hoped it would work, but it doesn't
Have you got the CHTEditor installed by chance?
I have been playing with the settings today, using the editor to move between the various lock screen types.
Turns out that switching the lock screen off in the CHTEditor is not enough, you have to switch off the Lock/unlock conditions too. Otherwise it will keep triggering Windows Mobiles own lock screen.
thats it, thank you!
Keine Ursache.
