Mobile Vista- dark screen problems? - Motorola Q Forum

xjmoochx · 05-23-2007, 10:46 AM

Has anyone used this homescreen. I LOVE the layout with the message and calender icons lined up along the left side.. BUT today i received an important call and i missed it. My phone did not say i had a missed call as the standard screen would, and worst of all did not tell me i had a voicemail and allow me to access it! The voicemail icon was at the top of the screen, but i could not access it like the normal screen that says "Voicemail: 1" .. i had no clue how to get the the voicemail until i changed the screen back to the default! Any help guys??

to get a voicemail with out the voicemail icon or text on the screen is press and hold down the number 1 and it will call your voicemail...or *86
i dont believe mobile vista dark has a missed call screen...you can edit the xml file to add this if you want...or a missed call will appear on the top of the screen near the voicemail icon...the missed call icon looks like a phone with a '!' on top of it....

hope this helps....

Yes thank you very helpful... but a HUGE help would be if you could tell me how i edit the XML to make it say missed calls, and even voicemail! that would be greatt!

to start with take the xml file out of the \application data\home folder on the Q and move it to your desktop...open it with notepad...scroll down to the line that says...



and look for this line...

<text>SMS: <unreadSMS /> Email: <unreadEmail /></text>

copy this line below here in its place

<text>SMS: <unreadSMS /> Email: <unreadEmail /> Voicemail: <unreadVMail/></text>

that will get you the voicemail notification
next for missed calls you should add the full missed calls screen by putting this plugin....


<plugin clsid="{0BA8ABB8-1F1D-417f-88C6-DA8530E2E7A6}" name="missedcalls" height="220">
<background b-border-width="0">
<format state="selected" bgcolor="#000000"/>
</background>
<label halign="center" bgcolor="#000000" fgcolor="#FFFFFF" font-weight="bold" y="60" w="320" h="220" font-size="32">
<format state="nocall" visible="false"/>
<text lang="0x0409">
Missed calls: <calls/>
</text>
</label>
</plugin>

just below the </scheme> line...

then move the file back to the \application data\home folder

Woww your great!.. one more thing. First should i copy the missed calls plugin to a certain place in the XML or no?.. And secondly, can i edit the part that says <sms> and write Text in there? Id rather it say text messages as opposed to SMS

put the missed calls plugin in the XML file under the part that says <scheme/> at the top of the code...
and yes..you can change SMS: to say Text: just leave whatever is in the <unread... /> alone...

Man hockey uve been great! I worked it all out, customized my SMS to say text. I also tried to customize it so that the profile part was last and messages was first. But i was having trouble with the icons

.. thanks so much man
