8125 - Need Smart Dialer back after update

Hi,
I know the answer is somewhere in this post, but it has gotten to BIG.
So.. if someone can answer these questions it would be of great help!
I have a 8125 Cingular that I first updated to the zphone 3g blue reptile skin, which I figured out how to mod to make it work just fine.
Then I saw the PaulyA skins and tried those - I first installed the cab at the top of his page. Thats when I lost my SD. So I thought there would be an updated cab to replace it, but all I got was a link to this forumn - If the link is there, I must be blind.
What I need to do is get my SD back - by any means hopefully short of reloading the 8125 from scratch.
Please list a step by step procedure to do this as well as any direct links to files I might need. And any other dialer based docs would also help. I am a developer so I don't think I will have a problem.
Thanks!
Wow... Started in 2006. No response ever since. Hmmm..

Black 3G Dialer & where is the shadow site??

I am getting ready for people to flame me but i am going to ask this anyway, where has the site that hosted the black ROMS? i need the 3G dialer Jasjamming has released. Is it possible someone has it and could post a link up here.
There is something wrong with the shadow site
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/portal.php
can someone please tell me what the problem is!! when i try to log in i get told i need to download and install a piece of software which i have done but i still cant get into the site, i cant even ask a moderator from that site to help coz i cant see the site!!!
Help & thanks in advance
Its possible it might be on the official black site:
http://wmblack.info
but prolly not a good idea to post the dialer on here as jj has requested mirrors arent used.
The 3G dialer isnt a mirror of the 2G dialer (its the same as black dymond for now)

thanks for the advice, can you tell me how i can get to the site mentioned on my previous post? i dnt know how im ment to configure that zend software (also i dont think i hav a webserver(?!?) and im guessing you will know what to do!!
thanks again
P.S. your guides have saved my skin so many times!! (Got my first TYTN recently, ur guide helped me get rid of WM5!!) good work
dude...dont worry about the zend thing....the forum is down and it is a message for the web administrator...the zend engine is part of php.
The site is back up now
Here's the dialer that JJ posted earlier...
"Black Shadow Video Dial CONFIGURATION
For those of you who want Video Dial Capabilities on your Black Shadows you need to install the following:
BACKUP FIRST!!!!!
1. Install Part1.CAB then Soft Reset
2. Install Part2.CAB DONT Soft Reset (press cancel after it is installed --> then go to the next step)
3. Install Part3.CAB then Soft Reset
YOU MUST FOLLOW THE ABOVE EXACTLY TO THE LETTER OTHERWISE IT WONT WORK.
> DOWNLOAD HERE <
Once the above procedure is completed, it takes around 2mb of storage space.
This video dialer is the one found on Black Dymond 3.5 and the benefit is that I have made it compatable with
zombie skins. You can customize your dialer skins by visiting: http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_Display.asp?SEC=3&EntryID=513
(Note: uninstalling the zombie skins may cause your video button to dissapear therefore to change your zombie skin, just reinstall another)
Once you have successfuly installed the 3g Video DIaler, the "3G Video Dialer" functionality
in Pimp my Black v0.2 works, hence you can enable and disable the 3g Video Dialer (but the non-video dialer
is the basic WM6 one)
Apologies for taking long on this, I was actually trying to port a dialer that matches the current NON-VIDEO one in the Shadow.
This was unsuccessful due to complication with incompatable DLL's for video telephony etc.
NOTE: Once you have completed this procedure you will permanently lose (well until you HR) the DEFAULT SHADOW big-button dialer in your PPC.
Thanks and Best Regards
JJ"

thanks guys, i thought there was something wrong with my comp, it did say on the link last night that new software was needed n i jus assumed is was needed by me. anyway it works now.
also to ronfin44 thanks for the links and install instructions, i didnt realize it got rid of the big button dialer, do you think there is any way to just add a another button to the dialer and shrink the font size of the number output?
thanks again
i wonder if someone could edit the retouched wizard dialer available on this site?
megaupload is not working here.. can you please upload at rapidshare?
Here ya go. Try this link. It's the origianl thread JJ posted for it at win4mobile.
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/hermes-black-rom-support/9975-video-dialer-4-shadow.html
just realized this is one app i cant use. anybody knows how i would be able to uninstall this? will deleting the .cab files uninstall it?
thanks
Seriously guy, you need to start reading more before trying stuff like this.
Why can't you not install the files? What error are you getting?
Secondly, and you may not know this but those *.cabs you are installing do change a number of items in your registry. You could try to just let it be, but you could have some unseen problems.
So, if you ran them and got half-way then you might want to finish the installation properly. However if you do not want to do that and want to go back to the way you were before, then you will have to do a Hard Reset.
ADDED EDIT: So to answer your question, no, deleting the *.cabs will change nothing.

Have you used the modified package pointed to in post #4
I am now downloading 'TSD_HD_ADDON_INSTALL_FIXED_JAN7.ZIP'. I hope that's the right one. Thanks so much.
Thank you so much. The installer works. And now I have the Quran running on my HD. May you be given a MIGHTY and PERPETUAL reward. Thanks again.
I get the message "your license for running mobidiv products on this device has expired..." Yet, there doesn't appear any obvious way to install a license/key. The citglobal.mobi website isn't much help.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thank you a lot.

Check out "WIKI"
Salam Brother Taiseer; can I install this app. on my HTC HD?
Thanks
Mazen
I would love to use this package, since my parents are going to move to SA
This would come in handy when I pay them a visit
kbnordin and taiseer:
The software that you downloaded, does it give arabic support? My wife wants the Quran and prayer schedule on her phone as well as the ability to recieve sms messages in arabic? I bought her the phone from the UK and HTC will not let me install the mobidiv package that is available....is there a solution for this?
I feel like a nitwit, but I am not sure what to do with the files....there are about 6 cabinet files that downloaded and when I open the Windows Mobile Device Center and go to install new programs, they are not located there...when I click on one of the files it opens another folder...when I click on setup it asks me where I want to extract but my computer will not extract anything...
any help please??!!

Hi bro
if you can read arabic, here is the two main topics foryou to get the "Arabic Support" so that you can read arabic and receives arabic SMS.
the first one by TSD:
The thread also contains the Arabic Bundle of applications (Dictionary, Quran, Prayers, Calendar). Make sure you read before u start downloading or installing anything
http://www.ce4arab.com/vb7/showthread.php?t=137802
The second one is by taiseer999
it's a perfect one too.

Hey Dr. Basem:
Unfortunately I cannot read arabic. My wife can but she doesn't understand how these things work. I downloaded the files from the URL taiseer provided:\
http://www.mediafire.com/?jvxzkz1ngzn
So, then I unzipped the folder and I have about 6 cabinet files...
I am just unsure about what to do next. Does this require that I backup the phone entirely before I install?
Do I install these things just like any other software, through the Windows Mobile Device Center?
When installed, I/She just wants to be able to view arabic text but not have everything displayed in arabic.
The last point can be addressed later, once the stuff is installed....I just want to get the software installed...
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

De-brand your Orange / T-Mo etc. device via nandroid!

I posted a virgin, generic nandroid backup and instructions on how to restore it here:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...and-your-orange-t-mo-etc-device-via-nandroid/
Enjoy!
P
other than the obvious benefits of doiing this will it also remove the t-mobile splashes?
Well, this version seems more stable than the stock Orange rom....
for example, when in the compose sms section, when typing someones name in...rather than doing "correction" style numbers, it actually has a drop-down list with names and numbers.
Seems faster, overall, and nice to have standard set of bookmarks!
Will report more in due course.

My Orange Hero does and has always done that.
Paul, any chance of a real dummies guide in how to do this please ? Why the need to download your archive and also the patched one ? Or am I missing something ?? Sorry all this hacking is very new - with Nokia you just change the product code to allow you to update to the latest firmware.
At the time of an HTC update for the Hero, I can guarantee Orange will take weeks and months and more likely never approve the update... and to have these bug fixes would be essential to ensuring continued please with my Hero.
All done don't no if its in my head but it now seem more responsive compared to the Orange flavour.
Thanks Paul
Hmm I got this nandroid working but I could root / access as superuser on my hero anymore, and re-rooting it doesn't work. Any idea?
edit - Sorry, it was my fault, forgot to enable USB debugging after the flash, silly me!.

I'm glad you mentioned it... I have noticed a difference too.. I have also noticed a longer battery life... I have disabled 3g and have removed BBC widget and am using my phone as normal now (not using it every 2 mins cos I love the phone!!!)

[Ask Your Questions Here] Questions And Answers for Vogue Users

All,
Due to good success in the Blue Angel section, I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum as well. This will be good to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the Vogue in any way. This includes but is not limited to people that are providing
*New Roms and Kitchens
*Programs and Apps
*Fixes
*Skins
*Tips and Tricks
However, I have a life (and so do most of you), which is why I would like to request the help from other Seniors (or anyone who knows the answer really ) to monitor the thread as well. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question 37000 times...
Without further ado, lets go for it!

Hi there Gents any input
Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
Great idea for a faq page!
I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.
I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...
Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?
Thanks

As far as WMP, Barogi will have to look into it since it is his rom.
One last thing, please do not double post. Thanks for understanding...
I have a question:
I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).
Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).
Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?

There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Question from mac+htc
mac+htc said:
Hey everyone,
So I was running NSFANS 6.5 ROM on my device (Amazing ROM btw) But I needed to revert back to the stock rom. I used the VZW updater to go back to the stock rom and I changed the esn on line. When I dialed the *228 and choose option 1 I got a failed message. So I called customer support and he walked me through a manual programing. Well that got voice working but when I went to use the data it wouldn't work. I made sure all the network settings were right, and I still couldn't connect. Well then I hard reset the device and now I am back to square 1. No voice no data. Is this something from NSFANS rom that is messing the phone up? I don't want to call again because their tech support takes forever and I am afraid they are just going to tell me to take the phone into the store. Thanks in advance!

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?
Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).
Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.
As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like [email protected] or something like that)
Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom

Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.
With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?
Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.
