Flash Patching: Create New ShortCut (Inbox and Outbox)

[rizapn]

@holg:
I don't think I can do that in the short time. It is not as easy as another patch that I made. Maybe, someone else?

@arman68:

The result of that "short #" patch is still based on keylock habbit. If we press any wrong key, then it will display "Press long #", and wait for sometimes before going to the normal locked screen again. In that time (when the 'error' message is displayed), then any key press will have no impact. Wait until the normal-locked-screen, then the short press of # should work well. I have no idea to eliminate that time-out function yet.

Assigning new function in a (or some) new shortcut button is easy. My only problem is, most of the time, function in each button is very-very depend on each person. I like that, you like that, but some of us do not, and perhaps I do not like, you like, some like, and some other don't. So, I have my own filter to do that kind of patching. Hope everyone understood (that I can not do each person request, especially for shortcut type patch).

Anyway, I will try about [+] and [-] side button.

Riza,

can you help me know how to overwrite the shortcut "view CB" (short press of #) because its useless in our country.... the networks dont give out broadcasts.... maybe you could change it to "inbox"... how were you able to do it.. so that i could learn too....if its ok with you

thanks

No problem. Even if you stopped patching the SL45 firmware now, I would still be grateful for everything you have done.

I believe as well it is better not to overwrite/delete existing functionality. Even if only a few people are using it we should not prevent them from doing so. In the case of the voicedial function though, the use of the [+] button is clearly redundant since you activated the [UP] arrow function as in SLCK firmwares. The [UP] arrow is even better since it also works when the keypad is locked.

Has anyone tested the above patch and could tell us if it also activated voicedialling with the PTT button when the keypad is locked?

arman68,

u do not need a shortcut for Profile function , just if u press (*)
for short time u will get access to profile function with ur right soft key, try it, and tell me .

short press on * then u will find (profile) appeared above the right soft key

Your are right! I learned something new.

Still, it would be more convenient having it on the side:
[+] -> [+/-] -> [RIGHT SOFT KEY]
is easier to use than[*] -> [RIGHT SOFT KEY] -> [UP/DOWN] arrow -> [RIGHT SOFT KEY]

Don't forget that the [+] and [-] keys can be used to scroll up and down.

Actually anything that requires a scroll function would be well placed as shortcut on [+] or [-]. "Address Book", "SIM location" and "Menu" do not need it as being on the arrow pad they are already very well located.

IMHO good candidates are: "Profiles", "Java" (if you put everything straight under the JAM folder), "Games" and that's about it. "Card Explorer" would not benefit from it as it requires use of the [RIGHT] arrow as well.

Nice to know it works. I stand corrected

@Z-man:
Yes, View CB is also useless here (Indonesia). But, I still have some mistery about that function...

I will post a new patch :
- Overwrite "User Group" programmable shortcut (hotkey) options with "Archive" (SMS in the MMC),
- Use short press of left side [+] as an IrDA shortcut, and long press for "Illumination Toggle",
- Modify *[GREEN] to become an external low-level program shortcut.

Wait for some minutes,
RizaPN

[rizapn]

Here are some of them ...

*** Long press of left side [+] button for "Illumination Toggle" and its short press for IrDA ***

0x3B04A4 : DA A2 18 4C 48 40 EA 20 -> DC 59 98 C8 A8 D8 DC 4D
0x3B04AC : F6 07 DC 59 -> D4 8C 04 00
0x3B04B0 : 98 C8 A8 D8 DC 4D -> 46 F8 EB 00 2D 03
0x3B04B6 : D4 8C 04 00 -> DA DC E8 46 ... (*)
0x3B04BA : 46 F8 EB 00 EA 30 F6 07 -> 0D 07 E0 1C E6 FD 82 00
0x3B04C2 : E0 1C DA F0 -> DA E6 98 F1
0x3B04C6 : 50 83 EA 00 -> DA DC 80 46
0x3B04CA : D6 07 -> 0D 0B

* Known bug : IrDA will also toggled for long-press ...
If you want to apply this patch withour IrDA capability, use :

0x3B04B6 : D4 8C 04 00 -> CC 00 CC 00 ... (without IrDA)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*** Overwrite selectable "User Group" shortcut/hotkey with "Archive" ***

0x18E388 : 8B 00 -> DE 03
0x18E3BC : 8C 00 -> DE 03
0x18E4B8 : 8B 00 8B 00 -> DE 03 DE 03

@RizaPN
Thanks, fantastic job as usual.

I am intrigued by your low level function... It will be very interesting if you manage to add a totally new functionality to the firmware. BTW what do you use to make your patches?

[rizapn]

@arman68:
Thank's. I use IDAPro to disassembly the flash file, C166 assembler document to get the new function/command byte-code, HexaEditor to apply them back to the flash file, and my zSiemenz to upload it (partially) into my lovely SL.

can u guys make FW57 with support of 256mb mmc or not possilbel at all!!

@RizaPN

Hi, RizaPN! Your patches are very useful. I have the pleasure of using some of them. I've got an idea how to see the calling phone number.
During incoming call the calling number is written first. Then it is overwritten by the name from the Addressbook. The idea is in moving the contents of the line containing name to the next line. Then the number will be stored on the screen. Is it possible to implement it this way?

It takes me back to the old days when I use to write programs in assembly this way on the old atari and amiga. I must admit motorola 68xxx and RISC assembly languages were a joy to work with. I gave up when confronted with the horrible intel cisc. From what I have seen, it is getting worse and worse with every intel processor generation.

Here are the last patches (maybe? for button/shortcut management) ...

*** Modify 0[UpperRight] from "Select Line" to "Archive" ***

0x3B309E : 48 40 -> E0 14
0x3B30C4 : 7B 03 -> DE 03
0x3B3322 : DA A0 AC 15 -> DA D9 02 0B
0x3B3326 : 48 40 -> E0 04

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*** Modify #[UpperRight] from "View New CB" to "Java" ***

0x3B31AC : 7D 03 -> B0 0D
0x3B3388 : DA DB 14 19 -> DA D8 B4 E1
0x3B338C : 48 40 -> 0D 04

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*** Use * 0 and # followed by [GREEN] as another shortcut ***

(*: Inbox, 0: Write SMS, #: Outbox)

0x3AD7A4 : E6 FC 0A 00 E6 FD 36 00 -> E6 00 36 00 F3 FC 0A 00

0x3B3016 : 47 F2 23 00 3D 02 -> 0D 04 29 C6 3D 03 (0)
0x3B301C : E0 04 DB 00 -> DA D9 62 0A
0x3B3020 : E0 14 -> E0 04

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, they were some duplicated patch (due to some trial).

Personally, I use these fix button shortcut :
-) Left side [+] for IrDA and Illumination
-) *,0,+ followed [GREEN] for Inbox, Write SMS, and Outbox
-) LEFT for "SIM Location" and RIGHT for "Card-Explorer"
-) 0[UpperRight] for Archive, and #[UpperRight] for Java

All buttons already occupied (except for PTT and some other (if exist) headset button). I don't want to overwrite the existing buttons with unique function (not duplicated), just like :
- Left side [-] for saving Flash SMS,
- [PLAY] and [REC] for MP3/dictaphone,
- [Long UP] for VoiceDial, [Long *] for Ringer, [Long #] for keylock

So... I think, it's time to go to the next patching journey...
