I have the Touch Pro dialer working on my 21854 build of WM6.5 (Rhodium port). However, when I use the dpad to go down the list of contacts, the green highlighter goes down the list about three or four places and then begins to move the names instead of scrolling through them. Everything else works in both landscape and portrait modes. Has anyone dealt with this? If so, how?
Alright, I found that this is an issue using older dialers on 6.5. I guess the question is do you hack the dialer or hack the OS?

I've noticed on the newer based rom kitchens the left soft key function in phone app of "contacts" is gone and replaced by "hide keypad". How can I modify the .sys or to restore it to "contacts" so I can scroll through my contact using my preferred app of random access. Also when used with M2D you lose the today screen contact tab as well making it very difficult to get easy access to contacts. I know you can press the hide keypad and it shows the recent calls and contacts but I hate using it that way and prefer the old contact left soft key. I have two phones afflicted by this a titan running dcd 3.26 and a vogue running a base of 20748. I use the touch and vogue dialers and on older based rom the hide keypad wasn't there but is on new ones using the same dialers. I'm asking here as I have received no useful answer at ppcgeeks.
Hi drellisdee,
The reason the left soft key no longer bring up "true" contacts is due to the switch to a touch dialer. The touch dialer incorporates "smart dialing" which allows you to spell out the contacts name using the onscreen dial pad. Once you get this down you will no longer want the old method.

You can do that with the MR1 dialier, which has left softbutton as "contacts". I don't think the two features are directly related.
Tried using different dialers and my conclusion is that its the .sys not smart dialing nor the dialers as I tried making roms with and without smart dialing and used several different dialers the true touch one and then the old one from the ppc kitchen from 10/07 which would show the contacts tab on a older .sys base rom. I tried using the phone.dll and the phone redist from an older pre 20k sys which the same dialer gave the contacts tab and the rom built with no error just the phone app would fail to intialize as you couldn't bring up any dial pad.
I actually started thread about this at ppc but it has to do with the fact that all of the diamond sys ports are not true whole sys ports there are some modules in the redist folder in the sys that you have to change and a couple in the baselang folder .... in the past I have done this but here lately I haven't really worried about it .... you could always just find the newest qvga build and port it
Great Post.
That "Hide Keypad" was annoying the sh*t outta me as I couldn't get smartskey to work properly. After reading the thread above it assured me nothing I was doing would get rid of the Hide Keypad option so now I'm living with it.. LoL..

So how do i remove it?
I don't understand what you're saying.
Thanks
So far I've disabled the today plugin and set the touchflo
scrolling registry key to 0. I've gotten back most of the
functionality of the SPB utilities. I still seem to have the
TF3D dialer and I'm sure there are other bits.
Is there a FAQ or How-To for removing the TouchFlo3D
interface and restoring the regular Wm 6.1 / HTC interface?
I saw Handango says that AEButtonPlus doesn't work
with the Touch Pro, but it seems to work fine for me?
Is there somewhere else to buy a license key?
I'm using FTouchSL for scrolling. it seems to be doing
its job. I'm a little confused how it determines if I mean
an active corner or the start menu / x / left softkey /
right softkey though?
Thanks
Hey, guys! I've just been wondering if any of you other guys have been getting the same odd behavior as me with the latest stock ATT FUZE ROM.
It deals with the phone display switching between portrait and landscape orientation when you flip out the keyboard. For some reason, the Windows taskbar appears every time I flick out the keyboard to type something while using full screen apps such as YouTube. It irritates me because all the other ROMs I've tried don't exhibit this issue. I can make it disappear by tapping the Start menu and exiting it, but having to do that every time I flick the keyboard out and flicking it back in is quite annoying. I was wondering if any of you know how I could disable this behavior.
It appears that any orientation switching without flicking out the keyboard (ex. Opera rotating using the accelerometer) doesn't make the taskbar pop out, but switching between portrait and landscape with the keyboard always triggers the taskbar to pop out in full screen apps. Again, it's easy enough to just tap the Start menu and exit out again to make the taskbar disappear, but I would LOVE to just have it not appear altogether, like all the other builds of WM that I've been using.
Anyone out there that can duplicate the issue I'm having? Furthermorem anyone know how I can remove the behavior?
Hi guys
I've tried several different ROM's recently but one thing that seems to be missing from them all is Quick Launcher (I think that was what it was called).
Basically I want the phone dialer to open when I slide the keypad out - unless I'm in another application such as SMS or Opera (where I just want to use the keypad for input).
Does anyone know of a CAB or ROM which will do this.
I'd also like something that will show on the top bar when my bluetooth headset is connected (at the moment it only shows when I start to dial) - Again CAB or Rom suggestions?
I've also just loaded this which seems to be a cracking application and well worth a look.

I have gone back to Niki Project Rom Editor v2.1.3 (WWE/ITA/GER/FRE/PTG/ESN )
until I can find something else
Having gone back to the previous ROM I realise it's not quick launcher that I'm after.
Quick Launcher lets you choose New Email, New SMS, New MMS etc which I had disabled before.
This rom does respond immediatly when you start dialing the other 6.5 that I tried didn't - any suggestions??
I simply want to be able to open the H/W keypad and start dialing without a delay or having to press another button first.
I have tried several Athena 6.5 ROMs, all had bug when using hardware keyboard.
The shift key starts messaging and the caps lock key gives me a virtual figures keypad. The upper row doesn't work at all
The only workaround I did find is here, intended for X7510:
