DCD's default phonecanvas has the bug with the scrolling (I know it's not his fault and it's not a big deal but it is a tad annoying). I changed the dll that controls s2a so I could get rid of it (I use Pocketshield), it worked. So then I used the cprog method to get rid of the scrolling issue but that breaks up the functionality of adding new contacts and it's even more annoying. Idea scrapped.


Then, somehow I managed to also cook a version of the rom that uses the default WM dialer (I intended it to be Tachi, thanks Calkulin!), so it uses less ram and I don't mind its looks and for some reason preserved the functionality of the arrows of the data icon, first time I had seen the data icon work properly with the default WM dialer. I don't know if it's something that I did by mistake, or if it's just that parts of the tachi dialer that got cooked in that solved that issue. In short I don't even know if this is something everyone already knows and here I am thinking I found something so cool, hehe.

Unfortunately it pissed me off because there was no way I could disable the pop up notification that appears when receiving a call. It was showing up on top of Pocketshield (on and off rapidly) and that just looks incredibly ugly.


So I tried again with Calkulin's set up of the Tachi dialer and cooked with it. Oh My, it behaves beautifully and looks amazing (also this way I can get rid off the ugly notificaion pop up when gettin a call). If only there was a version of Tachi with no s2a and no ugly curtain during a call, big yuck.


All in all this is the happiest I've been with my phone, so I want to extend a big thanks to Calkulin and DCD (listed alphabetically, hehe :P).




(Posted same post in both threads just to thank you both for the terrific work! Pardon the big post.)

There are a couple of registry keys you can delete to get rid of that annoying pop up during a call.

hklu/software/microsoft/today/bubble/
delete the first entry under bubble, it will be a string pointing to a jpeg image.
hklu/software/microsoft/today/toast/
delete the first entry under toast, it will be a string pointing to a jpeg image.

soft reset and the popup bubble during a call will be gone..

Thanks

Once I am in there I can't close it or change any of the settings. The ringtone reverts back. I may have deleted something inadvertently. Do you know what is dependent on the phone settings panel? I am using the new kernel. I do not believe it is that. I am using the 23049 sys as well. I tried going back to an older sys to narrow it down but deleted all the other sys's. I could not re download your kitchen at all today. Mediafire was being a booger this morning.


Also is your XIP spinlock patched?

You should hope it isn't spinlocked. Apparently the 6.5 Kernal is slower with it spinlocked.

All this talk about cooking roms is tempting me to try. Is it really difficult to learn how to do this?

not really! there's a tutorial some where on PPCGEEKS on to how to use the visual kitchen... takes some getting used to from the original kitchen, but once you get the hang of it it's kinda fun
