ok I've just got an mda vario or htc wizard as they seem to be called a lot and theres a few things i'd like to be able to do. I got a bit tired trapseing through a lot of posts and ending up without the result I wanted.
well to start, I'm running the 1.6.2.4os that came already installed.
and here's what I want to do...
1)make sure its completely unlocked, CID ,SIM extended
rom, everything, preferably free and all in one go.
2)improve performance, am I right in thinking omap overclock is a good answer to this? is it free? increase the glyph cache? disable animation on start menu? any other tips
3) customizing, quite a few things,
3.1) I want to make my own phone dialler tried bitmaps in windows directory didn't work so I'm using one of the zphone skins for the moment I could modify that but don't really want it in add/remove programs or that extra directory. is there any way to increase the size of the contact's picture?
3.2) sips, want to customize them. anyone know what dlls to edit (my own assumption there) also I wouldn't mind knowing why buzz lightyears keyboard skins wouldn't work for me.
3.3) today screen, colours are fine, easily done but I want to replace icons/ text, for example, have an icon displaying a missed call which would change appropriately. a easily accesible task manager would be nice there too.
4)the camera. seems to be a bit dark at times, is there a better auto-adjustment or flash driver or whatever for it?
ill, probably add more later, but for now, that'll do. any help is much appreciated, please remember I'm a big cheapskate and so i'd rather do this stuff for free any non-free solutions are also appreciated but please state which. thanks again.
when I'm finished i'll put together a nice little guide for other people to follow and any info I use will be accredited (naturally)
Hi, you better have posted this in the wizard forum.
First you need to super cid unlock see http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796 and follow machinegods instructions.
Second intall nicodekker's registry wizard for easy tweaking of cache & animation http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
Third not easy to increase the size of the contact picture - only possible to do with eten dialler see here or buzzdev.net http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725 or here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=35326
You can change the diallers yourself see my own here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44560&start=125
Buzz's keyboard skins dont work for most devices, hav'nt seen a report on them working on a wizard - waiting on buzz to give us a fix.
Task manager - many people are using magic button free or could try wisbar advance 1 thats free and you can change some of the icons with wisbar. Google for both.
Thanas posted a fix for the camera see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45123
Hope that helps
Please post futher posts in the wizard forum - i dont want to start a wizard thread in this forum
And you'd be better splitting your questions up into 2 or 3 posts as you will tend to get more replies - luckily i was just passing thru this forum.
Welcome to the wizard club!
moving forum
ok, how do I move this to the wizard forum?
Only moderator can do that. You can post any unawnsered questions or partially answered questions in the wizard forum.
As you can tell by my newbness/post count, I'm new here. Over the past months I have been researching and watching the xda forum and have concluded that this is a great place for information and discussion!
But I have a quick question.. I've searched for this already, but I have found no luck on the issue. For the S2u2 ver 0.98, I have been trying to figure out how to change the ringtone when people call my hermes (8525) when S2u2 is running. Does anyone know how to change this? I know i probably need to edit something in the reg. but i can't find out where it is on my phone or how to do it. =/ I'm kinda new to the whole ppc registry gig.
Can anyone help?
If you can help i would appreciate it, and it's great to be here! TK!
I just change my ringtone under sounds and notifications
Hey, thanks for the reply. I'll try installing it again to make sure I had my ring tone setting and will post back if anything changes.
haha it works now >.< I had the old version installed
I'm loving NFSFAN's new Bell ROM, but i'm not crazy about the slide to answer on the phone canvas.
I'm looking for a way to replace the slide to answer / ignore with buttons instead of a slider while keeping everything else the same.
I've researched different skins for this dialer (there are some cool looking ones out there!!) but none of these change the slider.
Any help would be appreciated.
This one works for me; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429179. There is also a black version somewhere Google 'Black Minimal Dialer'
I've now been using NFSFAN's ROM for a few days now.
Must say i've gotten quite used to the dialer. I like all of the other features. Especially the "in call curtain". While i'm still not in love with slide to answer I understand the concept of why it was created. If I want to press a button that's what the hardware key is for!!
I wasn't really looking for a new dialer, but i've learnt the slide is an integral part of the package.
Thanks for the response anyways. You were the only one to do so. (everyone else was probably busy shaking their heads!!!)
now mine might sound like a really stupid question, but can I install the opal's slide to answer dialer on my sprint htc vogue ? are all the ## codes working for you on your phone ?
Yes, everything works (911 etc)
In NFSFAN's words, the data connection is not active during a call, it just breaks the data errors.
The dialer is included in his ROM, i'm not really sure if the same one is found anywhere in CAB format. A quick google search for "opal slide to answer CDMA" should yield some results for you.

thanks jmitr for your patient answer and the links to the solutions.. really really appreciate your patience and yes I just installed it and working fine now.. love the new dialer...
i spoke too sooon... i installed the complete cab by mbarvian and then tried juggaloo's cab but it was for VGA graphics, i tried mbarvian and conflippers cab but that messed up everything...
just mbarvians cab - didn't display the incall screen properly.... it was all greyed out...
now i can't find a single good cab which displays everything like it should... i don't want to do any more trial and error and find out... please help me on this ...
i dont mind not having the canvas - atleast i get a bigger picture on caller screen and thats all i want right now...
I know s2u2 has a large picture to answer the phone with.
I don't use it anymore, I found it drained my battery too fast. With NFSFAN's rom and the opal dialer it isn't really needed anyways.
Sorry none of the links led to anything fruitful, my only experience with this dialer is in the custom ROM. Must say it has grown on me though!!

I've been using this on my Sprint Touch for months now with out any issues. Here's a link for a post I have up at PPCGeeks for you to check out . Please let me know if you have any problems. If you don't want the lock feature, don't install Albert's cab...

I had trouble getting the dialer to work initially also. It seemed to be tied to the rom build that something changed after the 20XXX rom build was released. If I used anything earlier it wouldn't work. If your on a stock rom that may be part of the issue. Not sure, but just my experience in fixing the issue.
It is tied to a shell component.

Hey thanks for the reply NFSFAN, the slide to answer was the only part of your ROM that I didn't really like......at first. I couldn't imagine going back to the old dialer now.
It is good to learn what's possible and what's not though, thanks again for the answer.
Cheers,
Jason

Codes don't work for me on the verizon beta rom. Is it just me or do you have to use the folder rather than the dialer?
Hi All,
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere. I have searched a great deal, but no luck...Apologies too if I am missing something obvious, but I never said I was all that bright
I am almost finished with my update to the "translucent" themes (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459885&highlight=translucent) for the new Manila 3 ROMS. All I have left to skin is the big green "talk" button on the dialer screen. I have spent more time than I care to admit looking through all of the Manila files and PNGS/BMPS/GIFS on my device, but cannot find this image file either among the usual suspects for Dialer assets or more unfamiliar files. Has anyone had any success here?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Steve
Hello ,
I just want to know if it's possible to have the same wallpaper in all the tabs
with the rom TOuch X ultimate ??
Thank you very mutch
yes, I have that on mine.
great, how did you do?
I just installed
a cab. I don't know where I found it, but I am pretty sure it is one of Rotastrain's. There are several different cabs that should be able to accomplish this.
If you can't find one that works for you I'll see if I can find mine. I have Touch X 10.1 Green edition. I'd rather not post a cab of someone else's stuff without proper credit, and I tried several searches, but I kept coming up with other cabs.
thank you, I have find a good post with lot of cab
