Verizion users: Patched i910 Samsung Dialer

[Guest Adrynalyne]

I created this a while back, but didn't post it here, due to this being primarily an i900 forum, and the Modaco patcher works fine there.

The problem why the Modaco patcher doesn't work properly on the Verizon Omnia is due to the fact that the secdialer.dll is different. The image resources are not kept within the dll. So, once I had a little help finding the lock image, it was easy to patch it, using Paul's model for the Modaco patch. Thanks Paul!

So, without further adue, here it is. Click through to download.

Issues: The menu softkey does not properly bring up the menu. It flashes, then disappears. Not an issue really, due to the fact that every feature under it has a finger friendly alternative on either the keypad, or status screen. Otherwise, there is no loss in functionaluty that I have found thus far.

I've got an i910 and am unclear as to exactly what this does.. can you provide some sort of description, or screenshots? Are you talking about disabling the lock functionality when you hold the END key down?

[Guest Adrynalyne]

You know that annoying black lock screen that covers the dialer every few seconds while on a call, and makes extra digit dialing, etc. a pain in the arse?

Well, this removes that. Its the same thing as the modaco patched dialer, just the verizon version, as the dll differs considerably.

Ah I see. So it is disabled permanently, because it is actually quite necessary when on a call, otherwise you will be pushing all sorts of buttons with your face / ear on the touch screen. Perhaps a manual toggle for the lock would be the best route. I agree it is quite annoying when on a call that requires multiple successive keypad inputs, the lock button comes back automatically after 2 seconds. it would be nice to be able to enable / disable it with a single button press while on a call.

This is a hack, and what you propose would require an application, something I am unable to do, anyway.

In my case, I already have a much superior call lock that is also far less annoying via Pocketshield. By using this hack, I get the big finger friendly buttons, and ease of skinning of the Samsung dialer.

@adrynalyne... you do know you can just, turn the lock off right? so that it doesnt keep popping up every few seconds... settings->personal->phone->services->dialer touch lock->change setting-> off

Haha, yup.

I saw this thread and was like "Ermmm, isn't there already a setting for this?".
