Disable Text/SMS Notification Message

Download

You know that really annoying alert message that pops up after every Text/SMS message you send? Well, now you can get rid of it!

I’ve been putting off creating a CAB for this hack, but over the past couple weeks its really been annoying me. What’s been happening is I send a text message, and immediately start writing another text message. The SMS Notification dialog appears and I start jamming on “OK” to make it disappear, lose my train of through (along with a couple key strokes) .. and inevitably i’ll double-press the “OK” soft-key which corresponds to the “Send” correspond soft-key in the Text/SMS entry screen .. so an incomplete Text message is sent.

It’s been suggested I make note of the following:

• If for whatever reason (bad signal, etc) your Text/SMS Message does NOT send, you will not be notified. You will have to check your Outbox (Start > Messaging > Messages > Menu > Folders > Outbox).
• If you would like your “Sent Text/SMS Notifications” back after installing this hack, just uninstall it. (Start > Settings > Remove Programs)

Disable Startup And Shutdown Animations/Sounds

Download

Increase your Blackjack 2’s Graphics Performance by increasing the allowed video cache size in the registry.

1. Application unlock your phone (run the MoDaCo GPS Hack or SDA Application Unlocker)
2. Copy and Install the CAB file to your Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone.
3. To uninstall this Hack, go to Settings > Remove Programs, and remove the entry labeled “Disable Startup and Shutdown Animations”

Note: Don’t be alarmed! When you power-off your Blackjack 2 using this hack, it looks like the screen just freezes. It takes 10-20 seconds for the phone to power down.

Increase Max Ringtone Size from 300KB to 25MB

Download

Now you can use any of MP3 you own as a ring tone on your Blackjack 2! This hack increases the maximum ringtone size from the default 300KB to 25MB using an easy-to-use CAB file.

1. Application unlock your phone (run the MoDaCo GPS Hack or SDA Application Unlocker)
2. Copy and Install the CAB file to your Windows Mobile 6 Smartphone.
3. Copy the MP3’s you would like to use as ringtones to: /My Documents/My Sounds/ (or /Application Data/Sounds/ , either folder will work)
   
4. Users with a microSD Memory card can store ringtone MP3s in /Storage Card/ or /Storage Card/My Documents/
5. Go to Settings > Sounds > Ring Tone and select the MP3 file you would like to use as your ringtone

To use MP3’s for “Other Sounds” such as Reminders, New e-mail, New text messages, etc. install the CAB file as instructed above and copy the MP3 files to: /Application Data/Sounds/

Using MP3s longer than a couple second for anything but a ringtone can get annoying quickly because the MP3 will play through its entirety.

Pocket IE Home Page Hack

Download

Update Pocket IE’s Home page — the default AT&T MediaNet homepage sucks.

I’ve created a CAB file that will update your PocketIE’s home page to be “www.google.com”. Download the CAB file to your Blackjack2 and run it like any other CAB file.

Note: Your Blackjack2 must be Application Unlocked for this hack to work.

If you want to undo the Registry Hack, just go to Start > Settings > Remove Programs and remove the program.

If you would like to change it to something else use the Mobile Registry Editor (found in Applications > Utilities) and edit the follow key:

• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs
• Change the “home” string’s value to point at any site you like.

Leave a comment if you would like me to make a CAB to update Pocket IE’s Home page to some other URL — If I get enough requests for a particular URL I’ll whip another CAB file up.
