Great
10x this works great and I can not belice I spend half a day searching.
One more question:
As I put some many programs on my Tytn I think it is getting slow, any solutions?

Nope, tytn has a samsung cpu. XCPUScalar is only valid for xscale processors.
There is not yet a working overclocking solution for the TyTN.

Pocket Hack Master
The last version has been completely rewritten and it handles SAMSUNG processors...
Supports Intel PXA210/PXA250/PXA255/PXA261/PXA263/PXA270/PXA271/PXA272 and Samsung S3C2410/S3C2410A/S3C2440/S3C2440A/S3C2442 processors!

Yes, but it doesn't work on the Hermes, you can overclock and underclock it, but it will hardreset and become unstable after a while. I tried with both production and preproduction (300Mhz samsung) versions of the Hermes with the same results.
wtf...."my tytn is slowing down" solution "overclock it", who brought the crack today?
First thing would be to see how much crap you have in start up, and how much junk you have on your today screen constantly refreshing, I have 30 applications installed on my tytn, and NO slowdown.
I should have ignored this thread, but working in the pc tech help for many years...I never would have imagined to tell someone to OC their pc if it was slow, same applies to this device, this isn't the Omap processor, as you all know...the tytn is actually fairly quick, if you don't muck it all up with memory resident poop.
Also, why anyone would bother with an app to change the softbuttons is beyond me, it just takes a couple minutes with a registry editor, which equals less junk installed on your tytn.
edit: sorry I was a bit surly this morning, and I couldn't stfu...it just looks to me that vid200 is a bit of a novice from his initial question (sorry if I am wrong, no offence meant vid200) by the nature of it and that the answer is easily found on google and the wiki.
I can understand pointing someone out the app to easily change the softkeys..it saves trying to teach someone about registry editing, but to tell that same person to OC their ppc when they haven't even really dug into manually tweaking it is just nutty, you have to crawl before you can walk.
vid200, if you don't have it, I suggest you give memmaid a try, and see what is slowin you down, also I don't know if the softbutton app you have permits it, but if you manually change the softkeys with a registry editor, you can link them to .cpl files, for example the taskman.cpl file found on this forum, and easily bring up the oem taskmanager, or any other control panel apps...battery..memory..there is a .zip floating around with most all the .cpl files in it, and when you stick with the oem monitors it helps with speed and battery life just less polling and memory usage, also just throwin the tip out there, some people might not know they can link to cpl's.
the only things that have slowed down my tytn are the wisbar advance (all of em) and Pocket PC PhoneAlarm,
I don't recommend both of them as they are resource hogs and have memory leaks,
aside from those two I have 30 so apllications and tons of today plugins and my device is fast and very responsive.
Hello all,
Need your help for the following:
I am trying to use left sofkey to lock pda, like we use on a nokia phone (left key + * to lock phone).
I have used SoftkeyAppletEx (Thanks Dotfred!), but i still could not find the correct block keys file to link to softkey.
For sure this is not impossible, as we can put that option on today screen.
Anyone could help to identify that file???
“Also, why anyone would bother with an app to change the softbuttons is beyond me, it just takes a couple minutes with a registry editor, which equals less junk installed on your tytn.
edit: sorry I was a bit surly this morning, and I couldn't stfu...it just looks to me that vid200 is a bit of a novice from his initial question (sorry if I am wrong, no offence meant vid200) by the nature of it and that the answer is easily found on google and the wiki.”
No offence taken, and yes I am a novice and I never messed up with registry before. Belive me I have searched and read forums and google, but softkey change just did not work on my device since all the other registry changes I made did work.. So I asked for help.
I will start the oem taskmanager and see if there is a problem.
10x for the advice
P.S.ne more question: where and how can I change the tone for messages, I can't find the folder to copy the ring tone in to.

You're not offensed, but I am. This so called 'ChaoticDruid' guy has no respect for the work made by others. I surely won't use 'Druid', because he has no wisdom being so pretentious, and I wouldn't use Chaotic but more 'Causing chaos'...
Surely, he's so clever that he advices a novice to play with the registry, this is very wise indeed. Furthermore, I didn't know that a Control Panel Applet could cause the slow down of a machine, but yes he has so many years of experience that he doesn't even know that. And I would add that not everybody wants to take a couple of minutes (I wish it was true if you don't know what you're looking for) to dig in the registry, if it can be done in two seconds.

Ok
I understand your point of view,
But this is a forum so I suggest we keep discussing things not arguing.
Well, so I read on other topics that SPB pocket plus is a slow down application and I have to admit I am using it so I am thinking of changing it maybe with some other programs.
Any suggestions, I would like to make my today screen like this:
Connection manager
GPRS counter,
Whether report
Messages (lsit all unread emails and tekst messages)
Tasks
Calendar
And Icons for the applications in tray bar.
I would also like to put new message (and have a choice: text, email or MMS) to the left soft key, but I do not know how.
BUT since I am a newbie I can only admire your today screens and hope I will find out somewhere how you did it.
I would like to ask how to change the ring for incoming message,
I would like to ask how to put icons in the bottom right corner in a tray bar where already the icon for emoze push mail is.
1) And for all of you out there thanks for the help you give me
2) I have the device for 4 days and my girlfriend says it is all I have been doing for the past 4 days so don’t even thing I’m not spending hours and reading forums and searching.

PHM Tray Launcher allows you to add a tray icon in the taskbar.
I also use SPB Pocket Plus, so for another "today manager" ask to others, this one is enough for me.
Use Tweaks2k2.Net
There is a specific tweak to override the sofkeys' setings.
You can replace key caption or programs, for instance you can remove "Calendar" and set "Agenda" and so on for Contacts
Change your Left/Right Today softkeys
Here is the registry tweak you requested -
================================================
Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
=================================================
Actually, you can select any name or app on the Left /Right softkey. Test the length of the word (make sure it fits all on the bar). You may get the application ".exe" from /windows folder of your device.
I would advise though not to fiddle on the right key as that is a bit complicated.
For example, mine I used on the Left softkey the name "Phone Pad" and used "VTKey.exe" (without the quotes) instead of Calendar and Calendar.exe. It worked perfectly well on my Imate Jasjar with no problem at all on portrait/landscape orientation. Hoped it does, too, on your device.
Cheers !!!
Look for SoftKeyAppletEx to remap your softkeys ..
I am testing pdaviet v.6 Touch Rom since yesterday and it looks very good. There is 1 thing I would like to have. As I have posted before, I don't like the phone skin very much. The picture is even smaller than in the standard wm6 dialpad before and some other features are missing. Could anyone post this standard WM6 dialpad skin please?
Are you sure about that? Cause the dialpad of the Touch version are bigger than the original WM6... oO
Well, you can edit some registry in order to get the default WM6 dialpad. However, the "BACK" button is missing (though still function).
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin under Enabled, change the value from (1) to (0). This should work.
Thx for the suggestion, but it doesn't work. If I change the value to 0, everything is gone. I mean, I don't see any button any more, they seem to all white and on a white background there is not much to see!
Well, you may need to install the WM6 dialpad...many of them to choose from...http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/default.asp
Keep in mind, the back button still missing...but functional
Hi,
I followed your hint but failed to installed the dialpad from zombiennexus. Only the top background changed to blue but the rest parts remained the same. Any idea? Thanks
I read from Magic Button's official website that they have a new version 2.1 that resolves the task bar color problem. However, when I followed the link to download.com, it is 2.0 that get downloaded, and this version mess up my task bar.
Google on "Magic Button 2.1" does not yield any result.
Has anyone got version 2.1 or is able to post a link?
Thanks.
Edit: Found the link. It is on the official webpage itself! The download.com's copy has not been updated.
Hmm... it's a shame that even version 2.1 mess up the color. My black task bar color is no longer black. It's today icon is also in the wrong position, covering half of my network signal (in 128dpi. Did'nt try the other dpi yet)
What a pity. It has been my favourite task manager for a long long time, and was given up when I moved to WM6. I was so excited when I saw the version update history, and thinking that 2.1 would work without problem in WM6. Looks like we have to wait for version 2.2 and see if it works.
Fortunately, pBar is working. It does not show the running tasks on the taskbar, but that's the next best thing now.
Thanks for the tip. The taskbar colors are much improved, but not perfect.

Thanks for the solution regarding Today icon position. Came across your post before, but didnt remember it untill you mentioned it. Thanks
But the color is outright the wrong color at the moment. It is the default blue whereas my task bar is black. Is there a way to fix the color? I really like the glossy black task bar, and unless MB can blend in, I would stick with pBar.
Sorry, I'm using the default blue theme, so MB looked pretty good to me.
Do a search on using UITweaker to fix the MB colors... not sure how it will work with the new version though.
With further investigationk, I found out that magic button is not actually showing only in blue color. It is able to use any WM6 color. The reason it does not blend in to my black task bar was because my black taskbar was "painted over" by Tweak2k2 rather than part of a black theme.
I tried it with other colors besides blue, and found out that it can blend in with any color.
Now the logical thing for me to do is to come up with a glossy black taskbar WITHOUT using Tweak2k2.
Can someone give me some pointers on how I can change my taskbar to glossy black ?
BTW, Steve, your tips on changing the Today icon position works beautifully. Thanks for that.
Still lots of bugs?
Magic button 2.1 seems to be quite buggy.
The position of the today icon just randomly moves about. It even moves all the way to the right, completely wipe off my clock and date, network signal, and other icons. When it is not doing that, the position of the today icon does not seem to stay at the same position. I notice that the registry value changes by itself as this happens.
Any idea what causes this and if there is a cure?

I use this program as well and it's also my favorite. I'm considering putting it into 3.0 of AP when released.
Yes it's a little buggy and I've noticed that the fix for color blending isn't working very well, nor is the placement of the house icon. I've e-mailed the developer to see if they can resolve this. If they fix both issues it would be a perfect addition to the ROM as it would replace xbutton and batti (buggy batti btw and I've disabled it for now with a tremendous improvement).
Thanks for noticing the registry value changes on it's own. Maybe we can lock down that value some way so this doesn't happen but it may cause an issue. Not sure if there is a way to lock down registry values or protect them in WM6 but it's worth a look into.

There is some slight movement of the Today icon upon closing all active tasks, but not enough to cause problems for me.
I suspect when the Today icon moved all the way to the right (covering all your taskbar info) you may have inadvertently changed the registry setting by selecting Magic Button 'Settings.' If you go into Settings, it will overwrite the hack, and if you don't select "Show clock and 4 icons" it defaults to 0, moving the Today icon all the way to the right upon exiting Settings. I think if you do the hack last, after getting all your other options set, the hack will hold... at least it seems to for me.
I think the flaw is too serious
Icon position
==========
I tried the registry edit, and found out that in 128dpi, the smallest value for the position (as described in Steve's post) is 06. That would place the today icon immediately to the left of the phone signal icons, and would cover up any mail message and vueflo icon. If you make it 08 so as to enable the vueflo and mail message icons to be visible, then when you move to 192 dpi portrait mode, the today icon would be completely off to the left of the screen (i.e. does not appear on the device at all).
This means that with value of 08, magic button is completely non-functional in 192 dpi.
Even with value of 06 (which still covers some icons in 128 dpi), at 192dpi it is no longer possible to close an application. This is because we need to press and hold the running icons on the task bar in order to close it. At 192 dpi, the runnng icon is no longer visible on the taskbar, thus you can longer press and hold in order to close it. Even if there is only one application running, as long as you are not on today screen, the running icon would not appear on the taskbar. If you're on today screen, because the today icon shifts unexpectedly to the right by one position, then it is possible to close the running application if you have only one application running. However, if you have more than one running, then even on today screen, you could not close any application. The only way around this is to switch to the landscape mode so that running icons have room on the taskbar to appear.
Color
====
The color blends better in 96 and 192dpi. In 128, the look is bad. Unfortunately, most of the time I'm using 128dpi.
I think pBar is still the one.
But seriously, I do not say that pBar is perfect. In fact there are a few problems, as listed below:
1) the date and time color is not right. My solultion: don't use it.
2) the favourites items could not be rearranged. The move button does not work. My solution: not a big deal. I don't need to move them.
The only regret is that it does not put up the running icons on the task bar, therefore, switching/closing program is a two click process instead of one click. Similarly, going back to the today screen is a two click process instead of magic button's one click.
Its advantages are also plenty:
1) it is very space efficient.
2) it solves the problem of comm manager in realVGA display.
3) it allows up to favourites program to be quick launched.
4) it really has no problem in realVGA environment. Magic button does not handle realVGA very well, in terms of icon positioning.
Ok, Everybody heres a finished (to my comfort) dialer that as far as i can see works properly.
I'll say its working at 99.999 percent and as with all the other canvases, landscape is not perfect.
its primarily for manila 2.5 but can work with 2.1, its 2G so no video calling but does have conference and works preaty smooth.
just quit cprog (and phcanvga.exe if you have it), install and then soft reset.
Cab pyrorob_gullum_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_V2.cab
Package: pyrorob_gullum_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_V2.rar
for those with the energy rom, heres a theme to match: pyrorob PhoneCanvas 4.2 EnergyRom Theme.cab install after the main install, soft reset.
So, i do want to thank everyone here and those who donate there time with this. I really appreciate this and am thankful for everyones help.
short statement:
we are a community of people helping each other to better our devices and only a tiny fraction of all the users contribute.
its great when it happens and no one should expect accolades or payment for there creativity.
(dont get me started on people who will only release things on this site until they get paid, i think it stifles the advancement of the community as a whole).
Now, i do want to specifically thank amarullz, whose phcanvga.exe im using, which without it, would have seriously hampered this and gullum who has been absolutely helpful and all the testers.
Phone Canvases in testing:

Hi Pyrorob, Im sure many people here are like me and read your posts, use your fixes, but dont know how to mod dialers and whatnot, so cant really offer help or suggestions with the things you are asking. It doesnt mean your efforst aren't appreciated though!
Regarding your dialer, it would be helpful if you posted a screenshot so we know what we're getting. And also some confirmations that we can uninstall the cab and it will restore our previous dialer without any issues etc. It probably also pays to mention not to use SKTools as you said in the EnergyROM thread it can totally delete the phone canvas and you wont be able to get back the one prior to install
Out of interest just how DO you do something like this anyway? Im a computer programmer but dont know anything about working on the phones. Like what language is the dialer written in? Do you have access to the code and can make changes that way, or are you just trying to resize images and hex edit things inside resource files or exe/dlls etc (eg x and y offsets)?
Thanks pyrorob, I'll give it a whirl, and I'll be sure and post if I have any thoughts.
Okay, so I can't get it to install. Says "Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settign cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." I used dotfred's taskmanager to kill cprog, and put the phone into airplane mode. Any ideas?

yes, i understand that, the only thing is, i didn't just open a thread and waited, i sent out a bunch of pm's to different people that i know knew the specifics of what to do and how to do it right and no one even had the decency to even reply. its like people think of this as some sort of competition..
yeah if you just follow the same steps to uninstall as you did to install then youll be fine. basically the dll's for the canvas have a bunch of positioning resources and thru lots of trial and error i managed to get things to where they are now.
I checked out your canvas on my Touch Pro.
The only think I noticed (except of the back button on the top right corner you mentioned) is that the left soft button "All People" does not work for me.
When I press it it changes from "All People" to "Contacts" and Manila crashes in the Background.
Any hints?
I have the same sig as above and dialer is working great! Only few bugs i see are what was mentioned already, especially with the all people left sofkey. Another is when you place a call the top taskbar is gone, small rezizing issue exactly the same as with rhodium dialer. If u hit keypad the taskbar comes back then tap call status to go back and the taskbar stays. Maybe get it to stay from the get go when you first make a call? All the features seem to work and landscape seems smoother then rhodium with it. Sorry cant help you with the technical side but always a happy beta tester. Just work out the few kinks, give it a makeover, good to go!!!

P.S.
One more thing. If you're in landscape already say writint a text message, then press the call button to bring up the dialer, the screen goes into portrait mode with the dialer while it should be in landscape. Then you have to close the hardware keyboard, reopen, now dialer is in landscape.
Bluetooth Volume???
Can anyone test this dialer with their bluetooth device? I dont have one handy right now. Just to make a call, try to adjust the volume up/down using the 2 hardkeys on the side of the phone to see if it works? I know on the rhodium dialer it doesnt change the actual volume on the headset, just shows on the volume volume is changing but does nothing. Hope its not the case with this dialer or can be fixed if it is? Thanks

ok first one, the all people soft key, im testing the dialer on a phone with manila 2.5 and when you hit that key it goes into the manila contacts, the dialer originally is from a manila 2.5 leo rom so it might only work 100% with a manila 2.5 rom..
the top taksbar has to do with the repositioning by the phcanvga if it doent move up the incall screen and cut off the top then the buttons at the bottom will be cut. sometimes the phcanvga doesn't reposition properly at first so you can do a few things like switch to landscape and back, goto contacts and back or close and reopen it and it will reposition itself.
yeah and it going back to portrait? well as far as i know there isnt a whole lot of landscape support with the leo since it doesn't have a hard keyboard so i guess thats the way htc programed this?..
second one, try putting in this reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"EnableAdjustHSVolume"=dword:00000001
see if that works
Apart from the 'back' key issue noted, no problems on my current ROM build. Have installed, unistalled and reinstalled without issue following Pyrorob's instructions. Conference calling working well (my mates like being part of the beta test!). Great job and Thanks!

ok first one, the all people soft key, im testing the dialer on a phone with manila 2.5 and when you hit that key it goes into the manila contacts, the dialer originally is from a manila 2.5 leo rom so it might only work 100% with a manila 2.5 rom..
the top taksbar has to do with the repositioning by the phcanvga if it doent move up the incall screen and cut off the top then the buttons at the bottom will be cut. sometimes the phcanvga doesn't reposition properly at first so you can do a few things like switch to landscape and back, goto contacts and back or close and reopen it and it will reposition itself.
yeah and it going back to portrait? well as far as i know there isnt a whole lot of landscape support with the leo since it doesn't have a hard keyboard so i guess thats the way htc programed this?..
second one, try putting in this reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"EnableAdjustHSVolume"=dword:00000001
see if that works

Oh i see, didnt know it was from a 2.5 version. That makes sense then. You think you can make a version to work with 2.1 manila though? I have no idea how hard that would be, just talking about getting the left softkey going for 2.1 manila. Ill have my jawbone 3 later today. Ill try it out of the box first to see if it works with the volume hardkeys on the phone, if that doesnt work then ill plug in the reg edit you provided. Still, this is the fastest port for a very nice vga dialer for our phones, WOW! Cant believe it took them forever to port tachi dialer and took u a few days and this one is wayyyyy better then tachi! Great work and would happily donate to you or wherever you would like me too for this and all your great work pyrorob, thank you!!!
Umm
Well out of the box the headset volume cannot be changed by the device with this dialer. I looked in the registry using the regular reg edit app thats cooked into nrg's rom and also tried using the one that came with sktools (which is more friendly i think!), neither have that entry.
I go to current user, control panel, volume, only entries here are all one worded, nothing like what you described and nothing with a standard setting of 0000001 or anything like that. Ill get a screen shot for u if that helps but looking in the reg i cant find it. Do i need to "add" the reg entry u described since its not there? If i do, how do i add it? Never done that before.
So far the only bug that I have found appart from the already mention ones, is a sliding bar on the right corner of the dialer when I open it up. The only way that i have found to make it disapear its by fliping the phone so the dialer goes to landscape and fliping it back to portrait and no more silder bar, and by closing the dialer with the end button instead of the x. Appart from that is working really great, so far no connecting delays ussing slide 2 answer. I'll be using it a couple of days more to test it out to see if anything else pops up. Hell, i like it so much i'll keep it until a new flash or a update from you pyrorob.
I think the only thing that needs its the energy theme.
Geat job man!
This dialer is like a God send to us, its soo good! Tested out the slide to answer/ignore and works flawless, no lag or sticking like rhodium! This is like an upgraded rhodium dialer for US users who dont have video call, its great. Love how theres no annoying bluetooth icon on the taskbar either when bluetooth is enabled with this dialer, huge plus for me! Hate having useless icons on the taskbar. Duh i know bluetooth is on cus i turned it on, why do i need an icon up there to remind me? If u can just make some finishing touches, skin the hell out of it to match energy rom, Golden, seriously golden here!!!

What sliding bar is this? Are you talking about the top right corner wheres theres a grey box with a black arrow distorted pointing left? Thats the back button which would be nice if it can be skinned good or resized (looks fine in landscape as well as everything else, just not so much when receiving a call but no biggie!). Other then that, i have no idea what you're talking about? Can u provide a screen shot maybe?

No man, i know the back button, it's not that. It a sliding up/down bar, the one that appears whe you flip it to landscape. It appears when i close the dialer pressing the x button and open it up again with the send button and if i flip it to landscape when flip back to portrait the bar stays, have to flip it back to make it go away. Sory can't post screen shots I'm at work, plus don't know how to take a screen shot from the phone.
Hi,
sorry if I'm cross-posting. i posted in the 'tael' rom thread yesterday and realized that it actually applies to lots of 6.5 roms. my question is, is there a way (sorry if it was mentioned, i searched but couldn't find anything) to change the soft keys so that it has only 2 keys (left most and right most) like the older 6.1 style (or some 6.5 has it also like Energy). i know the left 'win' key is helpful too, but it's just very convenient when you are driving or can't really look at your phone to find the middle of the bottom portion of the screen to get to the softkey, whereas if they were at the leftmost and rightmost area it is so much easier to get to. so wondering if there's a cab or something already out there?
thanks.
