Exclamation History Recall/Redial WM6

Hi,

I installed the LVSW (Pro Style) ROM, and when I press the Dial button (green) - it goes into phone mode, great.

Now.

If I were to press the button again (to dial the last dialed number) then it doesnt work.

also if I press the joystick UP it doesn't go to history - like it used to with the original ROM.

any ideas on how to fix this?

thank you.

I've been asking the same question without any fixes. Not sure how to do it. There was a utility called "Smartskey" used in WM5. But I am not 100% certain that was employed in some of the WM5 cooked ROMS (Can someone confirm this??). I thought it was built into the functionality of the Hermes. I would love to have this functionality again.

Either use the WM5 dialler (just change to a WM5 dialler skin as described 200 times already) or simply notice that call history and speed-dials are already in the shortlist above the keypad with the WM6 dialler (unless you;ve changed settings in phone.).

I notice the same in all WM6 and it is a pain in the ass too. But the WM5 dialer did NOT work for me, I use a WM 5 dialer since it looks better but still no fix. I agree and have come accustomed to using the history and speeddial list a lot more.

I agree it's a pain. Can someone please fix this? Or do we have to install smartskey?

Anyone noticed that the latest Black v2.0 reverts back to the older style that we are looking for? Anyone know how this was done? Is it a new dialer or even an old WM5 dialer? The reason I would like to know is because other ROMs don't have this feature. I would like to install it manually on those ROMs.

I love the functionality of pushing the up directional button to get to history and not to scroll through smartdial.

Start -> Settings -> System (tab) -> TweakUI. Make sure that "Enable VideoCall" is selected (checked). Restart your device. You now have a WM5-like smart dialer with the features you want enabled. Up or Right for call history, Down or Left for Speed Dial entries.

I don't have TweakUI on Black 2.5. Where do I get that?
