 | Hex Edit Guide part 3 |
This part covers:
- edit SEEMs which store text
edit SEEMs which store text
Many SEEMs in our motorola phone are used for storing text values. Here I will show you how to Hex edit such SEEMs. In my post [005B-0001 key map], I mention that the key values 42/43 will launch menu code stored in seem 0313/0314 respectively. Some of you are not quite sure how to do it. I will show you how to edit it and the technique can be applied to edit other SEEMs. In the example, we will change the 0313_0001 seem to store menu code for Video Camera, instead of Browser.
Steps:
1. use P2K software to download the SEEM 0313_0001 to your computer. Please make a backup of the file. (In the screenshot taken from moto4lin, I click "connect/disconnect". Once the phone is connected as P2K, I click "SEEM editor", key in 0313 & 0001 in the SEEM boxes, then I click "Read seem", and click "Save to file".)
2. open the seem file using Hex editor. You can see at the right text area, it shows ".B.r.o.w.s.e.r..".
3. replace the text with VideoCamera, with a dot in between each character. Make sure you put hex values "00 00" at the end of the text, and fill the rest of offsets with "FF". Please also note that you cannot key in the dot. Instead, you must key "00" in the hex value area.
4. save the file and use P2K software to upload the seem to your phone.
5. restart your phone to see the change.
Some rules:
- In such seems, usually (but not always) there is "00" in between each character, and the first offset is "00".
- always put two "00" after the end of the text.
- always fill other unused offsets with "FF".
Some menu codes: (case sensitive)
Message
VideoCamera
Camera
Browser
Datebook
PhoneBook
Sounds
RecentCall

this is very useful, thank you
Yuet. Your response to my question about the 1000 contact phonebook limit on the Q&A page had a link to this page. I guess I don't understand how this is relevant to my dilemma concerning this phonebook limitation. Please advise about how this might be useful to me. Thanks, b*
oh brettstar, sorry, I made a mistake. My brain didn't think properly. :) This post only tell you the seems that store the phonebook categories, not phonebook entries. At the moment I don't have other info regarding where phonebook entries are stored.
what is the mma menu code? i'd like to change the assignment of the camera key. i'm using your mp, which uses the cam key for voice commands. i'd like to change it back to camera. could you explain to me how to do this exactly? thank you. love your work.
just change 005b-0001 seem offset "1f" to value "43".
Hey, it worked. You're awesome, man. Thanks alot. Could you answer this last question for me? On the external screen, there's an icon next to the reception signal. It looks like a data packet icon. What is this, why is it there, and how can I remove it? It wasn't there previously with my original T-mobile firmware.
it means GPRS is ready in your phone. To remove it, you can edit the DRM to make the icon transparent.
hi, i-m using ur MP (v1.9). i´d like to change the voice key to iTunes. Could u explain to me how to do this exactly? Very thx.
lukz, you need to set the voice key to smart key, then use the home key menu to set up smart key to launch iTunes.
for remapping keys, see this post.
