I installed a dialpad skin without removing the previous one (i forgot!)
To make matters worse, I then installed a third one over the top (again forgetting to remove the first two) to fix things
I now have a severely messed up dialpad.
What is the easiest way to remove all the dialpad skinning and get back to default blank settings, without hard reset?

have you tried removing the last skin from the remove prog. and then soft- resetting...
these are spb-dialpad skins that you used
I installed each one in turn again, then correctly un-installed it.
That left me with a blank white dialpad.
I have now installed a working one and its fine! yay.
Back to the original problem before I caused all this.
i have a nice iPhone dialpad, but its not VGA. Does anybody know how to modify the theme to make it VGA compatible?
Im willing to do the work/put in the time but I have no idea where to start.
Are there simply images that must be re-sized? Is there an editable file with x/y values for the buttons etc?
Any ideas?

the iphone dialpad you have is mostlikely for the eten dialer...in which case there is not much you can do...how-ever if you would like to build a dialer just uncompress the spb dialer cab...these are the file with the dimensions that you need to make
Ive not had any luck uncompressing cabs. How do I do that with free software?
A link or two would help But I know, "search the forum for yourself"....

I use IZArc. It's free and can handle most archive formats including cabs. I use it for everything except zip, which is native to Win XP.

Thanks for those, what I actualy need is to know how to edit an existing Non-VGA dialpad to be vga.
Is it just matter of re-sizing the images in the cab? I get the feeling that some hex editing of .dll or .exe files may be needed.

dcd V2.3.1
I'm a noob and it took me awhile to figure it out too. I created a new empty folder on the desktop. Then using Winzip or Winrar (or whatever zip program you use) select all files and EXTRACT them into the empty new folder you created on your desktop. Then run the .bat file you see (buildos or something like that). There will also be a bunch of additional folders inside your new folder...don't worry about those. The program pretty much runs itself after that. You can pick some options...then click the small green arrow in the menu bar and some stuff happens in the background....finally it will produce your ROM and you follow the onscreen intructions from there.
Kinda on the same note ... can other aps be added to the rom? ie ... say Handbase, SPB Pocket plus ... Obviously I'd love to build a rom that would if restore my phone like I like it after a hard reset ... not sure if you can do this ... but if so How? I'm currently using a "cooked" rom from the same
kitchen ... would just like to cook it some more

Hi I'm having the same problem. I tried running the .bat file and it comes up with the same error. You wrote that you fixed it, but didn't say how. In the future it would probably be a little more helpful if you wrote how you fixed it. Thank you very much guys.
Problem show icon on custom panel in portrait mode
First excuse me for may little english.
I have create a panel to dial contact with chomeconfigurator, in portrait mode icon for panel is not show, if I turn in landscape mode the icon are show correctly.
Anyone have solved this problem?
Thanks to all.
I had the same problem with HTC home panel, if you change you screen to Windows sliding panel, everything should be OK. Probably a thing CHome configuration developers should look at.
Partial solution
x Rudat: Thank you, I've found the same solution yesterday, with the standard sliding panel all work fine and it show all icon.
What's the .cpr file associated with HTC Home Panel, I've try to modify the file found in phone (file ends with HTC***240x320.cpr and HTC****320x240.cpr) but nothing changed on my phone, I'va also edit .xml file to create custom panel but nothing it's happened...
An other question, where is the file .cpr used to show panel, I'm not be able to find it in my phone...
Thank to all
Custom Partial Fix for Sliding Panel Icons in Porrtrait Mode
I have a partial fix that you can try. It is based on the HTCSlidePanel_US.xml. After extracting the 3 files, copy HTCSlidingPanel_Rev12.home.xml to your device \Application Data\Home. Then make a backup copy your device's SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr. Then copy the two extracted files: SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr to your windows directory on your device. This will OVERWRITE your orginal files so make a backup BEFORE you do this incase you want to go back.
It is not exactly the way I like it but it is better than the HTC Green. Enjoy.
Problem
In my phone (rom origina in italian no brand) I'm not able to find SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and the SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr, where I'll find it?
Those files are hidden - use a file explorer and change the file display settings to show all hidden and system files. You should find it in the device windows directory.
Thanks
I've found the files and now I'm trying to customize the home panel, thanks to all...
I seem to be unable to replace SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr and the SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr files with their new versions - i am being told it is either locked or I do not have rights to change or edit the folder... can anyone hint me how to do that? Thanks

Never mind, Total Commander http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-total-commander-v2-5.html helped...
Customize HTC Home Sliding Panel
Fix - Show Icon and Formatation in Portait mode
Somehow the Problem was the GUID of the Panels.
To Change that permanently follow my instructions:
1.) Use CHomeConfigurator
Create the Panel (e.g. called "GamePanel1") just the way you want to have it
Close CHomeConfigurator.
Check if it works in Landscape Mode the way it should.
2.) Use Total Commander
Goto \\\registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\
Copy and rename CWelcomeCenter folder (e.g. "GamePanel2")
Delete all the pages in \\\registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\GamePanel2
Copy the new Pages you made in GamePanel1 to GamePanel2 (Use [Strg]+[c] and [Strg]+[v])
3.) Customize properties of GamePanel2 just like the once in GamePanel1 with Total Comander
\\\registry\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\GamePanel2
CONDENSEDTITLE
ICONPATHS
LocName
Pages
4.)Open CHomeConfigurator again
As you can see GamePanel2 allows no changes!!!!! Just like CWelcomeCenter.
Hide GamePanel1 (or delete)
Show GamePanel2 (You might have to enable GamePanel too if it is written in red)
Exit CHomeConfigurator and Confirm: Save Changes!!!!
Done!!!
You can do that multiple times for more Panels using a copy of CWelcomeCenter (resp. its GUID)
Great fix, it works!

Can anyone please help with with remapping the long-press-end-key on my HD2?
I tried various searches on the forum, followed various instructions like Long_end.lnk etc. Nothing worked. I don't want to install a 3rd party app. I would prefer a registry edit, or a cab file install which can help me remap the key to a specific program.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS > Right now the long press of the end key is mapped to the quick menu with 4 options.
These kind of .cabs usually do the same as editing the registry yourself.
Look for Dutty's Task Manager.

Create a shortcut to the .exe you want to run. Rename it to 'EndKeyLNK' and copy it and the extracted 'EndKey.exe' attached below to the windows folder. Now long pressing end key will launch the exe. I did not create this i found it though i cant remember who did create it.
I use it to launch xdashutdown with no problems

Thanks buddy ... that was awesome ...
However, After doing that, when I press Long_end button, it tells me that the app cannot be run as it is unsigned or a component cannot be found. Weird.
How did you overcome that error with XDAShutdown app. I'm trying to use the Slide2Shutdown app.
Thanks

i had no problem at all with xda shutdown. Check that the shortcut you created is renamed properly and that it indeed works by manually clicking on it.
It needs to be EndKeyLNK.lnk

hi, its vjay555 who made this cute piece of software. the program is called vjbrisk.
works perfect thank you for the tip.

Did you get it working Govindar77 ?
I just instaled it and it works great with xdasutdown too!!!!
nice
just remember to backup the original EndKey file
Thanks
All who helped and replied to this thread -
Thanks a bundle guys. I was able to get it working.
Made a cab, which can be installed, and pulls up Slide2Shutdown on long-press-end key.
Awesome .... me so happy ..
Anyone need the cab, just holla here, and I'll post it.
hello,iam trying to give a second option to the hardware key i dont know how to do it, i just install the cab endkey.exe but iam lost , can you orient me ?
I found this thread as I was going to try to get my old X1's Smaberg's actionscreen working with the off button (worked fine with the HD and the X1, not the HD2), then I found he'd got it working already.
It may be of interest to some of you, more options than xdashutdown.

Hey buddy,
If you're still interested - basically what you gotta do is copy the endkey.exe to the Windows folder, and then create a shortcut of the program, and rename it as endkeylnk.lnk and copy that to the Windows folder as well.
I just integrated all the steps and made a cab file (I also happen to have the exe file for Slide2Shutdown). So nothing needs to be done manually. Just install the cab, and voila ... long-press-end-key runs the Slide2Shutdown program.

Great!! I was looking for something like this a while ago. Didn't found anything so I created my own work-around. I came up with this. Although the above solution is more simple, my solution has the advantage that you can add mortscript code in it.
Just copy the new exe over
Thanks to the contributions to this thread I was able to change the long press end key behavior...
Only I was so lazy that I didn't want to create a shortcut file and copy further files. So I only copied the original exe over the EndKey.exe using Total Commander.
And it worked immediately without soft-reset.
Given the old file is in ROM I suspect I just have to delete the copy to recover the previous one!
Thanks again because I tried the long_end.lnk and the registry 40C7 key modifications without any success.
Can you help me!! Set Long_Endkey for Smartlock (Lockscreen)! thank you!! plz!

Follow the instructions in post number 5. to create a shortcut (incase you didn't know) you long press on a file and then copy and at the destination long press in empty space and then paste shortcut. You need to find the .exe or link that launches smart lock. Create a shortcut to it and rename this shortcut to EndKeyLNK and copy it and the file contained in the zip attached to post #5 into the windows directory
I had artemis rom and i was able to change the sequence of my icons by holding them and dragging them, is there a cab for that? and is it possible to create folders in the start menu and put apps in ther ??? thanks

Ehh; ok.
What do you mean with "was able to change the sequence of my icons by holding them and dragging them"
Do you mean this in the home screen??
In case of yes, this is possible in the latest stock Rom 3.14; ore when you used CHT. Of course beside Artemis rom there are other cooked rom who have build this in. (No there isn't a cab file present, as long I know)
If you mean to have the option drag and move in your start menu; each WM6.5.X have this possibility. and no this isn't possible on a WM 6.5
Creating folders in start menu is easy.
Open your explorer, navigate to: \Windows\StartMenu\Programs\
There you can add folders and shortcuts.
umm bro u thanks for everything it was rly helpfull! however u didnt understand what i ment by dragging the thing in start menu, ive seen a cab before but i dont have the link here.. its just another way for re arranging ur icons
winmo 6.5 you can only move start items to the top, winmo 6.5.x you can drag them around. There is no cab to enable it on 6.5 roms.
