Anybody know how to remap the hardware buttons on the Qtek 8500 with either software or registry hacks??? Want to replace the Voice Tag ESPECIALLY - that just drives me nuts!!
AND, I'd like to replace the music player buttons on the front to answer with speaker phone if possible.
I'd be interested in finding out the information for changing the voice tags buttons also.
4 Files
This is to remap the two hardware buttons on each side of the screen...
These files exist in the \Windows directory. Create a file with these exact names, and have the contents of the file be a shortcut command.
SHORT_POC
LONG_POC
SHORT_CAMERA
LONG_CAMERA
Make sure that you unlock all the security settings in the phone. I don't remember the exact keys, but I know its a registry hack to allow modifying system files. You'll get an error about the file being read only if you don't do this.
FWIW, I replaced three of mine
LONG_CAMERA
42#:MSSYNCAPP?:syncapp = ActiveSync
SHORT_POC
19#\Windows\iexplore.exe = Internet Explorer
LONG_POC
19#:MSINBOX?:mailapp = Inbox
I left the camera button in place.
Perfect! Thanks for the information!
FYI, for those of you having trouble creating these shortcuts, this is how I do it. Create a new text file (using Notepad) with just the one line link you want (e.g. 19#\Windows\iexplore.exe). Save the file as SHORT_POC.LNK (or SHORT_CAMERA.LNK or LONG_POC.LNK or LONG_CAMERA.LNK) and then move it into the \Windows folder of your mobile phone. Once you rename the file to .lnk I don't think you'll be able to edit it anymore. And also, in order to make sure the file ends up as SHORT_POC.LNK and not SHORT_POC.LNK.txt, you must have "Hide extensions of known file types" unchecked in Folder View options (in Windows Explorer).
I know this post was a little unclear, so please don't hesitate to ask questions if you are still unsure how to do it.
OK, some Confusion here. I am using a Qtek 8500 with Qtek rom. Only the Short_camera shortcut is there. I have remapped that successfully. Where are the other shortcuts, or are they only present for a different rom? Are we talking about the same phone here ?
Just tried on my Qtek 8500, and although Short_POC.lnk is not in the Windows directory, if you create the shortcut it works a treat. Now this solved how do we get our bluetooth headsets to launch something else other than crappy Voice Dial? - Sadly changing Short_POC.lnk doesn't change this (was hoping they were related)
Thanks!
I got the Short_POC.lnk remap to work, but it only works when the clamshell is open. Is there any way to remap any of the external buttons so that it works when the phone is closed?
may be a stupid question, but Short_POC.lnk points to the voice recorder button, correct?

Help with MS Voice Command
Creating a "SHORT_POC.LNK" file to work a program within the windows dir is fine but, I'm having a problem scripting for MS Voice Command.
I've tried using it's exe within Program Files and even created a shortcut inside Windows dir. Could someone please end my confusion?
TIA
Bringing this thread back from the dead,
I would like to ask a question:
How exactly should I edit the LNK file in order for the voice dial button
to launch Bluetooth settings?
I mean, I know HOW to edit etc, but what the command should be?
Thank you in advance!
my boss used the gc audiopara cab file on his xv6800 with original firmware and now has no audio. i tried search for the original audiopara but all i can find is links to the gc version for the new roms. i have another unflashed xv6800, can i copy the file from that one and put it on my bosses to fix the issue. also what do i need to be able to copy the audiopara.csv file?

Ha, Did that before, but not my bosses phone, just my own. You have to tell us what ROM version you are using. The AudioPara files are different amongst ROMS version (GPS or NonGPS). I am going to take a guess and assume your boss is not running a 3.xx ROM? THe GC AudioPara is for the 3.xx ROM.
You can copy the CSV file from your phone to his phone, assuming the are the same ROM version (GPS vs NonGPS). To do this simply go to File explorer on your phone and copy it that way to the memory card or to a desk top computer using active sync. Then just copy it over to his phone then reboot it. It will be in the "windows" folder from the root of device. Remember when you are looking for the file you need to select "Show all files" as it is considered a system file and will not show up unless you do that.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
had it floating around on computer along with the gc version..believe this is version with louder speakerphone

is this the one that works with the original verizon rom?
The copy of the file that you put there is simply 'hiding' the original file that is in system rom. If you delete that bad file, the original system rom file will reappear.
So just delete the bad file and the ROM copy will reappear. (copy it somewhere first if it makes you eel better)
Help, I have just installed this AudioPara.cab file but now I have no audio?
my ROM version is 2.14.671.3
here is the link for all the audio para files originals and new 3.x.x ones, make sure you read all the thread so you get the right file

Hi,
I'm now upgrading for those Roms who dont have any keyboard installed ( I have 16 keys niki), so I can install it from the .cab that DubinBJK provides. So, while that keyboard have the backspace issue, i wondering if anyone can make (or have) the .cab of the keyboard with the old EzInput (v 1.0 I think). Is the same that is in the Tom Godon Rom.
Appreciate you help,

I found it.
It's from Niki (20keys). it works (i have tested it)
If you wanna use it on 16key version, you need to change keymapping files (Just put it to windows folder)

Yes, I want to use on 16 key version, you say I need to change the keymapping files putting it on windows folder? But if a .cab it's to install, how do I do that?
Install it, and put keymapping files to windows folder
P.S. Actually i have extracted this cab by SkTools and puted all files (except keymaping) to windows folder.
I you want, i can extract it for you

Both cab's were tested in Lilly 1.3 Mannila2D NO KEYBOARD.

Hi All,
with all of the kitchens found here, it is noticeable that when adding any packages to the OEM/SYS folders (i.e S2U2) then trying to re-build the rom specially in the process of BuildOS we got many errors that file already exist and then crashes.
after many research i got to know that the package will extract the files in windows folder for all packages on time then while installation, the files will be copied to the proper folders.
here is the problem, once trying to re-build the rom all files will be copied in the same folder.
is there a way to avoid this?
Hi robekia1,
Even I am facing the same problem when rebuilding os.
we will keep waiting for the seniors here to deliver a solution for us.
thanks to whom will help in this regard
I also faced this problem while cooking ROMs, Hey krazy! help please.
I guess, if we could know the file structure from the folder structue before installing, then it would be easy.
hmmmmmmmm, it seems that this problem have no solution as (Finding emulator for cooked ROM)
done the same and working

Hey I have done the same previously I love the s2u2 applications so I have cooked my rom with all 3 apps of s2u2 i.e. S2U2, S2P, S2V.
I created packages from package builder, then copied all files to one folder.
removing duplicates with latest one.
Also I changed the initflash file for the locations which is created by the package creator with the new folders path.
Then also I added the all item tag in XML to detect DSM files of the respective apps.
Make sure you have registry hack for installing third party apps in your ROM packages.
Enjoy... you will get all your S2U2 apps in your ROM.
Right now I dont have the folder I will upload it tomorrow if anyone wants.
Hope this information is useful to you all.....
Please Dooooooo

registry hack

What you mean by registry hack? it sounds something new for me.
do you mean any registry editor? or it is another OEM Package should be installed along with the ROM?
robekia1 right, all file will be in windows folder, if you put it in the "program files" folder, the files exist in windows folder too, that is will be wasto your phone storage. Avoid put in the program files folder will be increase your phone memory.
Usually the default directory of the CAB file is in the progam file, and if you use OEM creator to that CAB, it will copied to Program file folder and exist in windows folder, to make only in windows folderyou can use this method:
1. edit the initflashdat result of OEM creator, delete all value of program file, or
2. Before you use OEM creator, edit the installation directory of CAB file, use wincab manager to do it, or
3. use wincab manager to extarct the files in the CAB, and registry, after that you can make .rgu, dsm, shortcut, manually and input the shortcut location in the initflash.dat file (I always use this method).
Usually every CAB file have different files with other, and if the have same file it can be same with the SYS file or the author/maker of the CAb is same. you can choose the latest version of that file if it happend.
While cooking even though we separate files inside different packages, but at the time when imgfs.bin is created, all the files go to \Windows folder. Thats why there cant be two files with same name even when they are in different packages.
Now some apps have common dependencies. Like the DirectShow and mHubVO dlls are needed by Youtube, as well as streaming media. Now what happens is, if you take two packages for these, sometimes the author puts the dependency files in both the packages so that if someone uses one package and not the other, it still works. This mostly happens packages that are made by converting a cab to a package. So if you cook these packages, you need to make sure that they are not putting duplicate files.
The same thing also happens with also happens with registry settings. Somtimes, two or more packages update the same regisrty keys in their .rgu files. SO we need to take care of those too and remove the lines that dont apply to the version of files we are actually using in our kitchen. This is a necessary evil and thats why cooking is not a child's play.
Once a ROM is flashed, and phone boots for the first time, the initialization process takes place. Now the ROM cooks have two ways to initialize their packages : using the .provxml files, this works if you have newer OEM* folders like from Elfin or Opal, it basically requires the Autoshortcut.exe file as well as newer HTCUtil.dll. The other way is the older initflashfiles.txt files inside the packages.
The difference between two methods is that using initflashfile.txt you can only copy files and create folders on the file system, but provxml can be used to perform many different things like registry values, applying themes etc.
So using one of the methods you copy your files to appropriate locations. Do remember that this process if done wildly can decrease the availabel free phone memory noticeably. Thats why we sometimes go a bit furthur and do some programming stuff to minimize this. You people sometimes dont even notice what is happening behind the scene.
I tell you one such experience. Google maps is a package that copies all its files to \Program Files\GoogleMaps but i noticed if i dont copy the files by deleting the initflashfiles.txt, and run GoogleMaps.exe from \Windows, it runs just fine. This works in pro user's rom but in Manila ROMs, the Maps tab of Manila looks for GoogleMaps.exe in Program files folder. So i had a choice to either copy googlemaps.exe into program files folder and waste 2 MB of phone memory or loose the functionality of maps tab of manila.
What i did was the third way i thought of myself. I created a .NET application called GoogleMapsStub.exe and what it does is it runs the googlemaps.exe from windows folder and passes all the information to it that manilla passed to it while running it. This exe is copied into the \program files\GoogleMaps folder by using initflashfiles.txt as GoogleMaps.exe. So now manilla is happy that it has googlemaps.exe in its proper place and i am happy too coz the new exe is only 3.5 kb in size You can verify this in v3.1.1 of VanillaManila rom. Look in the program files folder you will get the 4 kb googlemaps.exe, put it on your pc and check its version in its properties, you will get my name there And if you check the windows folder, there will be a googlemaps.exe of 2 MB size and a GoogleMapsStub.exe of 4 kb size.
So sometimes hacks like these are necessary in order to make a perfect roms. ROM cooking is just like food cooking, It may appears to be like just putting the ingredients into a cooker and light up the gas stove and wait for the food to cook. But if you try that for first time, your food will not be eatable for sure It requires a careful balance of salt, pepper and other things to cook a tasty dish I hope i have made myself clear
Wonderful

latest buildos/ visual kitchen has option to delete duplicate file while cooking but
i will make new kitchen in future (not soon) because current kitchen work fine for me and i have lots of other work like android + building to rom from weekly leaked sys of wp 6.5
Thanks ankit360 for the visualkitchen9.7, i'm already trying to use it but the problem is: the ROM generated by the kichen is not working for GENE.
i tried another kitchen for the same ROM and it still working fine, the only problem with it is the duplicate
bhushangahire, i'm still waiting for you to upload your files.
also, what about the reg hacker?
Hi Karzy,
" What i did was the third way i thought of myself. I created a .NET application called GoogleMapsStub.exe " you answered one of my query unknowingly, when I had extracted your ROM, I saw there was GogleMapsStub.exe which was not present in any other ROM I had extracted. So I was wondering what that file was about !!! Now I know what it was.
Thanks a lot karzy for sharing this info.
You have been always good in explaining things indetail, which helps a lot for new comers like me.
I m glad that i am able to help my buddies here.

Now, i'm gonna read them character by character
Alrighty, here we goo.
I was looking around for voice to text apps, and I came across one.. called "Tellme"
Now, I as I understand this wasn't exactly made for my LEO-usa.
BUT IT DOES WORK.
I have installed the .cab file for this app, installed it correctly the only way one could do it. Then there was a file I was told to download called NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.zip
Framework im guessing? But I have a problem, I don't know how to install this.. its a zip file, and when I unzip the file it breaks down the cab structure into 192380192381203981203498712348971230489 freaking FILES!
How do I install a cab file that is compressed into a zip file? if you HD2 users want to try and pickup where I left off, here you go.
do a google search for "tellme for hd2" Click the result that has tmobile's forums on it.
Scroll down the forum replies till you see words and convo's regarding TELLME. and you'll notice there is two files needed, the framework, and the cab file for the app.
I got the app installed, but the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab confuses me because its a cab file that is in a zip file..
lol, sorry if I'm sounding redundant. but damn.
Heres the two files, I'll attach them below.

no worries. just download the .zip file, then unzip it into the the file "NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab". next copy this file and the tellme.cab file into your phone. run the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab first and let it install. then follow by the tellme.cab. you're done.
yea, you have unzipped it twice, because winzip/winrar also see the .cab as a cabinet, or zip file, and opens it, when in fact that whole file is the windows mobile installer. extract the single cab file to desktop, copy it to your phone, click it in explorer on your phone.
Alrighty, I tried what you said..
I got the .cab file for the NET stuff on the device, attempted installation and it failed at the end, told me to close out of apps, and clear device space?
I have a little short of 1gb of Device memory left, and task manager did not have anything running.
Is it perhaps the ROM im using? I'm using the Energy ROM.
bumppp.
