VZW - More RAM / disable Dialer Skin

[Skywing]

You can also disable the HTC SIP menu (SIPGT_app.exe) for a couple more mb of ram.

(Remove HCKU\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\SIP_Menu. May want to back it up if you wish to bring it back.)

The menu to switch between soft keyboards won't function if you stop SIPGT_app running at boot.

On second thought, I decided against this hack.

It also affects the incoming call screen. Much harder to answer a call with the screen that comes up with the HTC dialer.

This does change incomming calls back to the default WM style. You can use the Green/Call hardware button to answer incomming calls.

Am I the only one who lost the bluetooth icon?

Disabling the dialer extension has the unpleasant side effect of disabling the nice indicator that tells you whether your data link is dormant or not, however ("data arrows" will stay lit forever).

I prefer to switch back to PhoneCanvas.dll (the xv6800-style dialer) as the dialer extension and then rename away the DIALER/PROGRESS bitmap settings in HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin. (Set "ext" to "\windows\PhoneCanvas.dll", and leave Enabled set to 1.)

This still saves significantly on RAM, but it doesn't break the nice indicators for data activity or not, which I personally find useful.

skywing is right. i verified it on my sprint touch pro. his mod does work better. I just wish we had a full skin like kokko's old skin or paul's big button dialer. that would be nice to have in vga mode.

If I understood your question, the default that the phone came with was:
\windows\phcanhtc.dll

Hope that helps.

one problem with skywing's method is the once u make a call u get a whitescreen that looks like the HTC dialer interfering with the WINMO dialer. i just disabled the key and used the default dialer. I can live with the arrows. not that big of a deal.
