what rom are you using?

[Guest kainobean]

i am useing the amdzero lite rom 1.2 and it took me a while to find visual voice mail to install it on there but i finaly did but now i cant figure out how to make the voicemail tab in windows defualt to open that and not the anoying *86. i read a bunch of chome editing stuff and nothing really helped....

did it work on the stock rom?

I ask this because in my lite rom I don't use splugin as the default .cpr file. I use titanium as the default .cpr file. This provides more compatibility with other plugins. It may be that you need to enable the specific splugin for the the titanium file you are currently using.

does any of that make sense?

[Guest kainobean]

ya it makes sense and i would enable to svoicemail plugin but its not in the list so i tried coppying over the stock .cpr file and it didnt change anything but made the sphone plugin stop working... otherwise everything else is still fully functional... and ya on the stock rom the svoicemail plugin would open up vvm.

take a look at this default samsung registry setting:

[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome]

"Plugins"="CMyPhotos;SMusic;SWelcomeCenter;Sphone;SVMail;SClock;CText;CEmail;SCalendar

CHomeFavs;CWindowsLive;SFavorites"


"<Plugins Order=\"CMyPhotos;SMusic;SWelcomeCenter;Sphone;SVMail;SClock;CText;CEmail;SCalendar

CWindowsLive;SFavorites\" CPRFileName=\"Titanium\" DisplayStyle=\"Titanium\" />"


"CPRFile" ="SPlugins"

as you can see the default is using splugins, but I didn't cook that into my rom. Thats okay, because you only need to add the following registry keys:

	[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\SVMail]

	  "Pages" ="Page1"

	  "DataSource" ="Software\Microsoft\CHome\SVMail"

	  "GUID" ="{F0A1B246-6E64-40cd-8E15-347D29FF6F18}"

	  "Layout" ="SVMail"

	  "LocName" ="SVMail"


	[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\SVMail\CondensedPage]

	  "PluginLabel" ="voicemail"


	[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\SVMail\Page1]

	  "Text 5" ="No New Voicemails"

	  "ACTIONURL" =""

	  "SK2URL" =""

	  "Image 1" =""

	  "SK2Text" ="Voicemail"

okay so now that you've added those keys you can change

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Microsoft\CHome]

"Plugins"="CMyPhotos;SMusic;Sphone;CClock;SText;CEmail;SCalendar;CWindowsLive;CHomeFavs"

"ExtensibilityXML"="<Plugins Order=\"CMyPhotos;SMusic;Sphone;CClock;SText;CEmail;SCalendar;CWindowsLive;CHomeFavs\" CPRFileName=\"Titanium\" DisplayStyle=\"Titanium\" />"

to this

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\Microsoft\CHome]

"Plugins" = "CMyPhotos;SMusic;Sphone;SVMail;CClock; SText;CEmail;SCalendar;CWindowsLive;CHomeFavs"

"ExtensibilityXML" = "<Plugins Order=\"CMyPhotos;SMusic;Sphone;SVMail;CClock; SText;CEmail;SCalendar;CWindowsLive;CHomeFavs\" CPRFileName=\"Titanium\" DisplayStyle=\"Titanium\" />"

(please note there is NO SPACE between CClock; and SText; for some reason the code tags aren't working that great.)

I believe it is case sensitive.

what do you mean home screen editor

are you talking about showaco chome editor?

I wouldn't mess with that if you editing the registry. Just skip the editor and use the direct registry editing.

[Guest kainobean]

oh no its some program from marketplace and it adds or deletes panels that you want but when i add the panel i made either by the registry directly or the program it just never showes up even after restart...

[Guest kainobean]

ok finaly after doing some looking over i found that some of the code you gave isnt right for images you have to use a string called "picutres" and for text it had to be either "text1" or "text2" any higher seemed to not show up at all... and then finally after that it showed up on the home screen and it all works as far as i have tested it loads the program and thats all i need... thank you for your help.

[Guest xlightwaverx]

shoaco is for quick editing, registry is for advanced users.

The shoaco editor is really only a sloppy (IMHO) implementation of a CHOME specific registry editor.

Do I recommend it? Only for a quick, simple change. Otherwise get your hands dirty and go all out in the registry.
