I think I remember reading somewhere that you simply delete the folder (and contents) from out of 'Program Files'. I think you run the uninstall through Add/Remove Programs first

Working fine on a HTC P3300 with Original WM6 French Rom

I have managed to uninstall, but it has taken over so many of the windows settings ie. Soft keys etc. that I have got to work out now which it has and which it hasn't and reset them. Decided to reflash the rom and do it that way.

Agree with the comments about uninstalling -it seems to get its hooks into your soft keys. I had to hard reset to sort it.
I am thinking of using it, if only I could work out how to customise the Favourites bit of the Applications part - ie the little arrow at the bottom of the screen.
Anyone know how to do this??

Answers, answers...
People may have found these themselves, but answers to questions may be on the PointUI Home forum, e.g. Uninstall Instructions.
Probably need to register (free) to see the boards...

Very good piece of software
need some further improvements but as beta's go I think these guys are clearly on the right lines.
If they get mail, messages, contacts and phone dialer to be like the rest of the UI then it will be tops

i appreciate it's still in beta but this just looks damn basic and boring (and i don't mean simplistic and stylish)
if the looks were even close to right i'd try it

[SOLVED] Remove HTC Volume Control

Edit: See Post #7 for the solution!
This thread was originally posted with this title:
[REQ] Custom ROM without HTC volume control
Hello,
Does anyone have the time or inclination to make a ROM without the volume control? I only ask because I've so far found no way of disabling the program.
Basically I've discovered that the standard WM dialer is more responsive and more intuitive than the Diamond one while using about 8MB less memory. The problem is, the in-call volume won't work unless the HTCVolumeControl can be disabled or removed.
I'm going to follow up this request with a noob question - how easy is it to take an existing cooked ROM and remove applications?
Many thanks

Cooking a ROM without Volume control is easy. Just remove the DIAMOND Volume Control from your kitchen.

Many thanks for the reply! I don't currently have a kitchen.
If I were to find a chef who is willing to let others alter their work, how long would it take a novice to achieve?

Try VIC's ROM for example. Also take a look at: Cooking Guides for Ultimate Noobs.

Thanks again. I've had a look at VIC's ROM, looks good. I'll have a look at that guide when I have some spare time.
How much time would you guess it would take to do the job? I'm a complete noob but fairly quick learner.

Isn't there an option to disable this in one of the tweak progs, either schaps adv. config or diamond tweak, I'm sure one of the two can do this.

What about a .cab that can remove it ? Only if you like it, I have attached it, and it WORKS

This option does exist in Diamond Tweak but it doesn't work.
I've searched the forum and found a manual method that involves stopping a service called HTCVolume, however that service doesn't appear to exist in the latest ROMs. HTC must have changed something which would also explain Diamond Tweak not working.

I have just tested it, and it works. But you said 8mb ram will be free ? I don't agree on that point. :/

For me, the 8MB free came when using the standard WM dialer rather than the HTC one. It's not as pretty but it does match my altered windows colour scheme. I'd rather have a phone that works properly than one that just looks nice - which is why I'm not using TouchFlo 3D either.
I would guess I'm getting an additional 1 or 2 MB with the volume control also gone.

Just remembered, I also ran a cleanup with SKTools, I suppose it is possible that caused it to revert. I'll have a play and see if I can recreate.

Seems the DLL?? messes up the font of the USB PopUp and SIP Selection screen Will try to cook a ROM without the VolumeControl to see if you can disable it without causing trouble to the fonts on the device..

I'm already using a ROM without the HTC Volume Control, Panosha Simple 1.1, so I don't need this cab anymore. It was invaluable before I switched ROMs!
I can confirm that the SIP selection text is already broken, without installing this cab. HTC must have relied on their dialer dll for the fonts on these other menu screens.

Not had that problem, except for the one time mentioned above which was caused by SKTools.
It's a very plain ROM - no Manila, Opera or even MMS! However, it suited my needs and I was able to track down all of the cabs I needed eventually.

Works xpanel?

wait,im confused now...
is this free? i mean on that website it says that all those who purchase ver 2.x gets an upgrade for free...
since we got a freebie panel from sony,does that means this one free too?

unfortunately no.. i tried it and it asked me for serial.. btw this is not panels.. and i found a few times bug which conflicct with panels.. when you got it for a long time.. when you preass panels button, it hanged.. never happened before until i installed this..

I never had a problem with SPB and I am using it ever since it hit the market (2003). There are also new features and integration with other Spb Software House products. Amazingly accurate battery indicator. Real "Close" button instead of minimizing the application. I dont have to use the Start button to find applications and documents anymore.
All in all SPB never failed me.

It's not free of course. You can take the answer here: MOD EDIT: No it's not
Just enjoy!

Whats the difference between ARM an KG? I know ARM is the processor type (i think, im not as clever as alot of you ) but would that mean KG is another processor which isnt going to be compatible with X1?

It s a serial, warez and co.
Please don t post them in this forum.

The forum rules prohibit warez.
Consider this your warning.

Version 3 is amazing!!!
Hope SE will make a panel for it...

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh i get it, KG = Keygen

it sucks,,i just upgraded to touch-it5 spb mobile shell is crap looking,,removed it

Panel Button dont work for me (everytime soft reset), no customisation on folders...
uninstalled and hope 4 panel version

does this also work in wm6.5?? did someone test it

I have the same problem with the panel button, though panel button worked once when i switched back to WinMo Today Screen, a bit inconvenient though. But at the same time im not using panels at the moment. Hard reset device yesterday and havent been bothered about panels.

I myself have tried many different skins and such and I really like the layout of this. I love the addition of the widget screen which is very customizable. Whether you like this or not will come down to your preferences and what you're used to. I'm used to this type of skin, so I love it. Others may not...but that's their choice.
Enough of that...Good job SPB on a great upgrade!!!!!

I have installed the SPB 3, which is the trial version, and it looks awesome, but, when i click the "X" Panel button my X1 just freezes and needs to push the soft reset button under the battery cover to reset it.
Is anybody else having this problem, or found out a way to sort it out?
Are SE making a panel version of this does anybody know?

my does not freeze, dont think this is a final release as i cant deselect the shell from the home menu.
also i would of thought that spb would of added panel support as they have with there weather and travel software.
ps. mine has not asked me for a serial code yet? where is the registration menu?

I also think its pre-release because their website hasnt been updated, and also just added facebook interoperability to it (a feature) which has slowed down the app...

left to right gesture swiping is not changing page, only up and down (from the pro business menu. works from the widget menu.
anyone else got this?

How to turn off keyboard lights?

I would like to know if there is a registry or app that turns off the keyboard backlight.
The idea is save battery life during the day or while reading a big text. I already use the Lowlight to reduce the light intensity but the keyb light many times is useless.
I already teste some regs mentioned for others phones but didn't work in the nrg rose (QKeybTimeout and QKeyb another thing...).
I noticed that the keyb light turns off while browsing a big email in the native wm mail. I think it's possible to find a reg monitoring this function, but i don't know about any wm 6.1 reg monitor like ceregspy for ppc.
thanks for the help

go to power management in settings and you can lower the time that it's lit up

I want to turn off keyboard backlight while using the mobile.
I'm surprised that nobody knows how to this while people did complex roms compilations like kavana and nrg rose.

I turn off keyboard backlight :
I replace backlight.dll from HTC Vox to \Windows dir, and keyboard backlight after reboot is off, but not working LightConfig, and if device is go to sleep then screen is white :-(((((
(i dont have backlight.dll from another smartphones, if you have it, please .... any ideas?

if device lock - keyboard light off.
if device reboot - keyboard light light more times off.
if we turn off keyboard light - device life is long
/sorry of my english

any new ideas?

here's something for ya, i've only tried this on my blackjack 1 though.
go to HKCU\ControlPanel\KeypadBacklight and change your registry settings to look like this.
EndTime...........0x0(0)
mode...............0x1(1)
i'll make a cab, so if you don't like it you can uninstall it.

It's worth a try to create the reg, just been searchin and seems a common question on many phones that no one answers

haha well i have nothing going on at the moment, so i'll make a small effort to figure it out. no promises though people.
EDIT well after some searching i would like to think i've narrowed it down to the HTCUtil.dll and/or the keybddr.dll that controls how long the keypad lights are on. but i have no way of telling for sure, just a guess.

So anybody? make a cab that has a simple icon like light config, lets make it so all power on keyboard is off during the day.
or something. ?

Serial (on top of screen)

i saw twice that both leds had flashed for about few milliseconds.

Congratulations, you just put your device in bootloader with no means to take it out of it... (sorry for the sarcasm...)
In any case, you will have to get a cable since the device has to receive a command to exit bootloader, which you will not be able to do through the device. There is no way to flash a rom through SD on the BA (I have a small project, but I am not certain that it will unlock it for you... in fact, I seriously doubt it).
I will try to upload it later and give you a link for it.

thanx anyway, i just got cable
charger and schemes do amiazing things
hehehe
btw, i am hermes user, and i thought it is just like in hermes, (reset exit bootloader) hehehehe
btw,m thank you for your support and reply.
man, you can not imagine what i have do to enter bootloader
about 30 minutes of rebooting device
i think i should keep in bootloader mode, it was too hard to get it in
hehehehe

I believe that there is a reshack for WM (in fact, I saw it not too long ago). As far as the apis, unfortunately, I am not a programmer, so I wouldn't even know where to start looking for that (other than google searches).

well, listing win32 and CE functions at same place....
i use winNT api help, because it does not contain .Net or winCE apis....lol

Which link are you talking about (I have like 4 in my signature)?
In any case, if you are looking for a UI that makes the device look like a Desktop, you need Wisbar Advance Desktop and Wisbar Advance. I have never been able to use them correctly, but I have seen people making their Home screens look like OSX, WinXP, and even Vista.
