Hyphenation

[ejdmoo]

I love the Special Edition ROM!!!!!!!!! BUT, I really miss *one* thing: hypenation. I live in the US, and I like my phone numbers to look like this: (555) 555-1234. Unfortunatly, the SER uses the O2 ROM, which is from the UK, which means it doesn't do hyphenataion. There's gotta be a registry entry for this. Anyone know it?

Strange: we based the first Special Edition ROM on the Qtek ROM which did do hyphenation: I remember us having to set this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CountryCode"=dword:00000000

In order to make it stop doing that. However, setting it back to '1' doesn't turn it back on on the O2 ROM.

i did the same thing and the registry mod doesn't work on the 02 rom.

There's something about these O2 ROMs. I seem to remember the provider logos also being hardcoded instead of using the normal registry mechanism. We could theoretically take the phone app from the Qtek ROM, I guess. But mixing and matching between ROMs could quickly become more complicated than would be warranted by solving a phone-number hyphenation issue.

Wow...now I feel pretty smart, because I've already seen that country code key and changed it to one.

WAIT!

Just as I was typing this message, I figured it out. Don't ya love dumb luck? Anyways, we were all close. Instead of changing the country code to 1, just delete that key all together.

Good work!

All these petty problems. Serves them right for not living in the default country.

Reminds me of ordering stuff online recently, and being told I live in an 'invalid country'. By which the site meant it wasn't the US or Canada.
