Will Pimp my Black and other tweaks work?

---

Do you think I could get away with using pimp my black (to get a few of the reg tweaks easier) and vibra call (mapping the push-hold record key to toggle between ring and vibrate).

I got my Kaiser but haven't been able to work much on it yet and thought I'd ask if anyone has already applied some of the tried and true TyTn tweaks.

I did load "device lock" to lock keys on power-up and HTC softkey mapper and they both work fine. I also loaded the Black Glossy Bars theme with no problem but I've got to dig up a reg editor to load to be able to tweak the black bars back to black and other things.

I'd forgotten all the little things that made my TyTn so great to use, gotta get them onto TyTn II.

Well, Pimp my black does NOT work,

I did a few reg tweaks from the Hermes_Registry Settings Wiki, so far this works;

Loaded Black Glossy Bars theame, reg tweaked the basehue to 160 and got the black bars back (from the grey that they were).

Got rid of the "in-call volume beeps" with reg tweak.

Restored "clock on top bar" with reg tweak.

I tried Vijay Lumos with the hope of having a mappable button to get the Bright Screen, this is VERY useful when outdoors and you need a quick punch of brightness to the screen. It didn't work.

Loaded Vibra Call but still need to play with it to see what can be done.

At this point the Kaiser needs some coder love!

The registry on the Kaiser is NOT the same as the Hermes.

You shouldn't use the hermes tools unless youre positive the same registry entry exists on the kaiser. Otherwise you're adding and modifying the wrong entries in the kaiser.

Vibra Call works great, mapped the standard Push/Hold Record key to it and now I can have one button to toggle Silent/Vibrate and Ring.

Loaded iGuidance v4.0, set GPS to Com4 and 4800baud, it initially asked for permission to run about 10 unsigned files, so after answering yes a bunch of times it finally ran. Now it opens in about 1-2 seconds, gets 8 sattellites outside and 5-6 at my desk indoors near a window. Need a bright screen toggle for that outdoor stuff!

Understood, the tweaks I've applied so far were to keys that did exist. Gotta start somewhere

i'm interested in getting the black glossy bars. i'd be grateful if you'd post a copy of the theme file and the reg tweak. thx.

I've attached the Black Glossy Bar Theme. It's not a zip file I had to change it's extension to attach it here. Just rename it as BlackGlossy.tsk and put it in your documents folder. In Today settings, select it as your theme.

The top and bottom bars will be glossy grey. With a reg editor go to;
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color\Basehue , thenchange value to decimal value 160

The bars will now be Black and Glossy!

Loaded Slingbox Player, it works great, video is even sharper than it is on my Hermes.

sweet! thanks for the prompt reply.... my Today screen looks really nice with the glossy black bars!

Loaded Opera-Mini and it works but not so much with Touch-Flo.

Installed Mortscript and tried the Bluetooth Redirect script to pass all sounds thru the BT headset. Mortscript loads and the redirect script runs OK, however, the sounds don't redirect. Pressing the headset button just launches voice dialer instead of redirecting the sound. I'll have to check the reg key and compare it to the Hermes reg tweak for this. Really hope this works out, this has been a very useful feature on the road!

Installed AE Button Plus, it's working normally, assigned a few keys with multi functions.
