Guest crazyc Posted October 22, 2007 Report Posted October 22, 2007 I have unlocked and flashed both my M2000 and my M3100. Both now run WM6 perfectly. The performance and stability improvement more than make up for the loss of function - I no longer get messages as to voice mail (orange send a weird text message that orange flashed devices then respond with the voice mail icon). I presume there is a registry hack to fix this, but I really cannot be fussed finding it. The Orange voicemail bug is well known and due to a change in the SMSproviders.dll This is easily fixed by using one of rabdo's cabs to set up the orange network settings - it also cures the voicemail bug. A quick search on the hermes section of modaco for rabdo's cab will bring it up.
Guest emkai Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 (edited) I have upgraded to a Kaiser on Orange (yesterday) and was very p-ed off to find they removed some parts of the phone which make it excellent. One being the today screen plugin. After loads of searching i managed to find a .cab file for the home screen. If you install this, you can select it in the today screen - et voila, you can use it! Also, I have installed a dialer screen which replaces the nasty Orange screen. All from XDA-developers forum Mods - sorry if these cabs are not permitted - wasn't sure if they were freeware or not...... Attachments removed - sorry! Edited October 27, 2007 by emkai
Guest Phil Lee Posted October 24, 2007 Report Posted October 24, 2007 You should probably remove those before they are removed for you.
Guest ed.dark Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Dialler with 3g video. almost completely de-orange but some remains - e.g. 3g video icons!Phone_cool_1.cab
Guest markhempstead Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 Dialler with 3g video. almost completely de-orange but some remains - e.g. 3g video icons! nice ;)
Guest ed.dark Posted October 30, 2007 Report Posted October 30, 2007 nice ;) It's slightly nabbed from the reTOUCHed dialer. stilla work in progress. It takes ages to photoshop those buttons!
Guest ed.dark Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Now with better button surround for the erase button and that horrible orange highlight gone! Still has orange 3g icons in video mode but i never use video calling! May need a manual soft reset to apply changes!Phone_cool_1.cab
Guest blackhorse Posted October 31, 2007 Report Posted October 31, 2007 Could someone bullett point the benefits of replacing the HTC Tytan 2 Orange Rom for the Kaiser Generic Rom? From what ive read in the above posts its mainly visual preferences ;)
Guest ed.dark Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Newer - some more orange removed. Red/Green call and end keys on the progress screen.Phone_cool_1.cab
Guest snowgum Posted November 6, 2007 Report Posted November 6, 2007 Newer - some more orange removed. Red/Green call and end keys on the progress screen. This may be just what I'm looking for. Any chance of a screen shot? M
Guest ed.dark Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 This may be just what I'm looking for. Any chance of a screen shot? M sure
Guest snowgum Posted November 7, 2007 Report Posted November 7, 2007 sure Brilliant, I've installed and its terrific. Thanks. M
Guest sebbes Posted November 11, 2007 Report Posted November 11, 2007 Any chance to get a version of the skin with something else that this blue background ? (maybe yellow, or even white...) Thanks anyway, it's still way nicer than the default Orange dialer. Btw, Is there a chance to reskin the PIN code dialer too ? (it's way too light) Thanks !

I can upload the files you need for you to edit if you like..... Its easy enough to do on photoshop or the like. Just don't want to myself.
Guest thefa Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 Thanks for offering this. No need anymore for me, because I decided to flash my Kaiser with HTC original ROM after unlocking what needed to be unlocked. I just did it last night and it worked just fine. Couldn't be happier. Thanks again, I can upload the files you need for you to edit if you like..... Its easy enough to do on photoshop or the like. Just don't want to myself.
Guest sebbes Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 I can upload the files you need for you to edit if you like..... Its easy enough to do on photoshop or the like. Just don't want to myself. I already tried by tweaking the : Dialer_BkgdL.png / Dialer_BkgdP.png But still, when using the smartdialing, the blue comes back (don't really understand from where)
Guest ed.dark Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 I already tried by tweaking the : Dialer_BkgdL.png / Dialer_BkgdP.png But still, when using the smartdialing, the blue comes back (don't really understand from where) is it the progess-xxxxx.png files you see as still being blue?
Guest ed.dark Posted November 13, 2007 Report Posted November 13, 2007 is it the progess-xxxxx.png files you see as still being blue? or maybe a key in this reg folder? perhaps clr match - I really dont know - I havent played with it! HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SmartDialing
Guest sebbes Posted November 14, 2007 Report Posted November 14, 2007 Thanks, I just found where to tweak things : [HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialer\] Key is "clrFLHI" If you don't have it create it. Values are in hex, some examples.... FF0000 = Red 00FF00 = Green 0000FF = Blue FFFF00 = Yellow FF00FF = Purple 000000 = White (All colors off) FFFFFF = Black (All colors on) 888888 = Grey (All colors 1/2 strength)
Guest snowgum Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 sure Ed, is there any way of lightening the dialpad screens. They are both a bit on the dark side for me, and I find the one available during calls sometimes difficult to read. Apart from this they are perfect. matthew
Guest sebbes Posted November 18, 2007 Report Posted November 18, 2007 Just to give my 2cts, at the end, I just Disabled the Skin by changing HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin > Enabled = 0 This give back the default dialer which is more readable IMHO (especially for the smartdialing)
Guest new_born191285 Posted March 6, 2008 Report Posted March 6, 2008 Hey guys, I've been looking to debranding my orange SPV M3100 when I stumbled upon this forum :D Could someone confirm that I will be able to get rid of the orange stuff by flashing to the ROM on XDA-developers? Also, I'm going to be debranding my phone by buying an unlock code, will the flash affect it and will the phone still be usable? Finally decided to take the jump from orange after offering me a bad new deal <_< Cheers, Ben
Guest sebbes Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 buying an "unlock" code has nothing to do with the unbranding... It's only about SIM unlocking (in other word, making it carrier lock free) So if you really want to remove orange stuff (icons, customization) only reflashing is needed or even simplier : rebooting and cancelling the carrier customization step.
Guest Bainsyboy Posted March 9, 2008 Report Posted March 9, 2008 Ed.dark have downloaded you file and installed thankyou thankyou thankyou at long last that bleeding ghastly orange dialler has gone. Now all i have got to do is find out how to make the phone respond quicker as my replacement phone is as so last as my first tytn II
