disabling roaming indicator on smartphone, home screen background oddities & comm mgr
Apologies if I've put too simple a topic in this forum. I have three questions. My phone is actually a Samsung i320, but I'm hoping these questions apply across any WM5 smartphone.
1) How can I disable the roaming indicator? I've got an older Voicestream SIM and most unlocked/import phones think I'm roaming. I tried the same reg key as on the K-Jam PPC but it didn't work.
2) I've created a custom home screen with a transparent top menu bar. When I select a background jpg for it the jpg is cropped (for lack of a better word) to the size it would display if the top menu bar was not transparent. So depending on how I align the image (top or bottom) I get to see the background color where more of the image should display. Even stranger it behaves normally on the jpg files on the phone labelled "protected content" which seem to make a copy of themselves in \Windows under a shared file name when selected.
3) If I have another WM5 HTC smartphone (a StarTrk for example) is it possible to take that comm manager and copy it over to my Samsung i320? I miss the option to turn on and off the MS push. Alternatively what is the reg key entry to turn this on and off? (Yes I realize I can set schedules,etc, but it was sure nice on my K-Jam to just hit one button to temporarily disable it)
Thanks all for your expert help.

It works some registry hack: HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
DisableRoamingIndicator
Change value to 1
...and it warks graeat. BUT !! remember afthe changing value wait some time, about 1-2min before make RESET, it is important !
I've edited the registry key to disable the HTC dialer and restore the WM dialer - the combination of that and turning off TF3d restores about a third of the program memory. Initially I couldn't get the contacts / call log lookup to work, but I discovered that if you rename the "SmartDial" key in the registry (in the same area as the Skin Enabled / Disabled selector), the default behaviour is restored.
The only oddity is that accessing the call log and speed dials is strange. The call log and speed dial buttons on the keypad work fine. If you have the keypad displayed, menu items for "Call History" and "Speed Dial" appear in the SK2 menu, but do nothing when tapped. If you hide the keypad, the menu items appear as "(A)" and "(B)" rather than "Call History" and "Speed Dial", and still don't work.
Has anyone got any clues as to what I need to hack to get these menu items working properly? There is a chunk of registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\Phone that looks promising, but I can't seem to get anything that works.
Ah - fixed it. It seems that the three menu items for Call History, Speed Dial and Save To Notes are HTC additions to the menu, rather than features of the default WM dialler. You can turn them off by setting AddPhoneMenu to 0 under HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone.
Does anyone know how to point Call History on today screen or at the Phone option Call history to the windows call history?
The only way I can access to the windows call history is by turn on the Phone:Missed call - display message on the screen - notification on Sounds & Notifications. Can I add a shortcut to manila the start menu?
Thanks!
Not that I really fancy the tp2 notification manager, but for some reason, now whenever I tap the icons above the home screen, the notificaiton manager no longer appears....anyone know what happened here? I can't seem to find a option for turing the function on or off..
is it weird I want the notification manager bar to come back?

Go to the Start Menu, then Tools, Then SMSBubbles. Click Disable. That should do it...
