Default Dialpad

Dialpad Hack

There are two ways to accomplish this:

a.) "automagically" via .cab file: http://www.everythingq.com/forum/30219-post269.html

- or -

b.) Manually:

Quote:
Part I
------
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/:MSCdial/BannerImage

Modify the path to an image that you create. [use DIALPAD.JPG below]

This will replace the Verizon banner when you make a call with the image you want; the default is 240x27

Replacing the Verizon banner shown when on a call!


The graphic being used is /Windows/Carrierlogo.gif. I could not find a way in the registry to point to any other graphic, so I changed the graphic. I used the dialpad graphic, but cut off the white space on either side and shrunk it to 220 x 27.

I just edited that file, copied it to the /windows directory, made a backup of my existing Carrierlogo.gif file, and renamed my new file Carrierlogo.gif.

Use Resco Explorer to overwrite the existing Carrierlogo.gif

The first time I did this, I got a message that the file was stored in ROM and I could destroy my phone if I changed it. I said ok, cycled the phone off and back on, and Voila! I have a dialpad that stays up while I'm on a call.
