YuetMod v3.x MP

YuetMod v3.2 MonsterPack for V360/V360I/V360v/L7 with 08.D0/08.A0/08.A2 bootloader

This is a very speedy MP with best reception. I say it is speedy as I can feel it when I listen to my music and read my jar ebook at the same time. It is neat and tidy with the classic YuetMod interface and flip-close operation. The latest v3.2 has about 5M free space with 8 skins & 9 java apps & iTunes installed.

To use MotoMidMan with v3.1/v3.2, add "YuetMod" to Mode2 in MotoMidMan.ini file, as follows:
...
Mode2 = R4513 R3511 R479 R47A R4517 R478 YuetMod
...

v3.2 main changes: (21/03/2007)
1. New iPhone theme
2. iTunes 2.83 installed
(It is a bit tricky to start iTunes in this version. iTunes will auto-start when you reboot the phone, don't press any key after reboot, DON'T press any key when the screen "press * to default setting" is shown. Wait until the iTunes main menu is shown, press "Play" to play a song, once it starts playing, you can stop it by press RedKey or "Pause". You must do these steps otherwise you won't be able to start iTunes with the iTunes menu icon. If iTunes won't auto-start, take out the memory card, reboot phone, iTunes should start, insert memory card, then you can go to "Setting" in iTunes to set "Auto-start" to "Yes".)
3. Enable sending zip & jar files via bluetooth in video folder (Tip: for other file types, rename it to zip using phonemanager, then you can send via BT)
4. can make calls from recent calls list with flip closed
5. enable menu option to switch storage device for java/video/audio/picture
6. customized Flex for L7 version (correct phone model & less key remapping, only set CameraKey=VideoCamera, BrowserKey=iTunesKey, HeadsetKey=RightKey to jump to next songs.)
7. updated operamini to 3.1
8. set DAP & phonemanager to flip-insensitive

v3.1 main changes: (02/02/2007)
1. Rework on a new Flex, so all the bugs in v3.0 are gone
2. Allow setting full permission to java midlet (Also allow corelet, but still having problem starting the corelet)
3. Image styles for photo camera
4. Enable sending jar files via bluetooth in video folder
5. Remove hellomoto startup picture
6. Built-in websession & IM profile for US T-mobile (you can get other websession from this post)
7. Enable 300K MMS size limit
8. Record voice with flip closed, using Dictaphone
9. Camera key is back (but you can't record voice name any more. If you need to record voice name, set it back to voice key, following this guide)
10. Java Apps (Don't use motomidman to install java, should use bluetooth or Midway. more detail here)
- Dictaphone
- FileChanger
- GlobleTime
- Moto-TXT (English version)
- Opera Mini
- Phone Manager
- StopWatch
- Students calculator

v3.0 main changes: (19/09/2006)

2. Universal version for bootloader 08.D0 and 08.A0
3. As usual, LP is not included, so your existing language will remain
4. "USB charging option" under "initial setup"
5. "Voice Message" under "Multimedia"
6. IM with profiles for AIM/ICQ/Yahoo
7. Lunar date in Datebook
8. GPRS auto detach after each session
9. "Hot message" folder in "Message"
10. Store up to 50 numbers for received/dialed call

SMS & Call on a Mac via bluetooth

SMS & Call on a Mac via bluetooth with your bluetooth phone

When you are facing your Mac, have you ever thought that you could read & reply a SMS or dial/receive a call, while your mobile phone is in another room? With the software BluePhoneElite, you can achieve it.

Some screenshots of BluePhoneElite:







Features:

Call Features
Dial and answer calls from your desktop
(speakerphone functionality is not yet available)
Log calls with time, duration, caller and notes
Display caller ID using your phone's phone book or Apple's Address Book
Pause iTunes and DVD Player or set iChat away message when a call is in progress
Customize a variety of visual and aural call notifications
Export calls to iCal, Address Book or external files
Trigger AppleScripts for different call events
SMS Features
Send and receive messages using email-style SMS Center or SMS Chat
Archive SMS to disk using hierarchical folders
Pop-up incoming SMS on-screen
Export SMS to iCal, Address Book or external files
Trigger AppleScripts for different SMS events
Other Features
Proximity detection controls iTunes, iChat, DVD Player and the screen saver
Display battery and signal strength, power source and network name in the menu bar
Power saving option disconnects phones when power is running low
Customizable interface options like dock visibility, menu bar visibility and font sizes
Localization: Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Czech, Danish, Dutch, English (US, Australian, Canadian and UK), Finnish, French, German, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish, Swedish, Thai and Turkish

It is very easy to use. What you need to do is to set up your bluetooth phone following the steps in this post. After that, your phone should be detected by BluePhoneElite. I have tested it with both my Motorola E398 and V360. Both of these phones work very well with this software.

BluePhoneElite is a shareware. The trial copy can only be used for 10 days. You need to register if you want to continue to use it after 10 days. I know a trick which can reset the day count, so you can continue to use the trial copy. However, I think it is not good to disclose this trick to the public.

Google "BluePhoneElite" to find more details and download.

Skin Edit Guide - part 1

Skin Edit Guide part 1

I am not going to write a guide for creating new skins. No one can write better guide than fearsim. Here is fearsim's how to create your motorola skins guide. Here I will show you some common skin mods and some tips and tricks.

Tools I used to edit skins:
1. Motoskin on PC
2. Skinner4moto on PC
3. TextWrangler on Mac

Motoskin is a basic and easy-to-use software. It is good for doing some simple mods. I use it to do the followings:
1. change position and width of operator name, date and time.
2. change opactiy/transparency and alignment of the left/right/center soft buttons, operator and datetime text.
3. replace icons using icons with the same dimension. A good feature is that it can replace all icons in a folder.
4. delete icons.

screenshot of motoskin:


Skinner4moto is much more powerful. I haven't fully utilised it yet. I use it to do:
1. replace icons using icons with different dimension.
2. change colors of text.
3. change the path of the wallpaper gif file.
4. modify the structure or layout of the skin. For example, we can change the layout to achieve big photo of incoming caller, and different preview mode of pictures and phonebook entries. I will give details of these tricks in part 2.

screenshot of skinner4moto:


Sinner4moto is also very useful for understanding the structure of the SKI file. Once you understand it, you can use text editor, like TextWrangler, to edit the SKI file directly. This is important for Mac users, as motoskin & skinner4moto are for PC only.

Set up bluetooth mobile phone on Mac

Set up your motorola phone as bluetooth device on Mac

Here are the steps to set up your bluetooth phone with your Mac, to transfer contacts/events with iSync and to access internet using your phone as bluetooth modem.

Steps:

1. You should see a bluetooth icon in the menu bar. If not, go to screen "system preference" -> "network" -> "Bluetooth" -> "Bluetooth Modem", check the option "Show Bluetooth status in menu bar".

2. Click the bluetooth icon and select "Set up bluetooth device ..."


3. Click "Continue"


4. Select "Mobile phone", then click "Continue"; At your motorola phone, go to menu Connection->Bluetooth Link->Setup, select "Find me". After a few seconds, the Mac should detect your phone.


5. Select the detected device, then click "Continue"


6. Click "Continue"


7. Your phone will prompt you whether to bond with your Mac, select "Yes", then key in the passkey, as shown on your Mac.


8. Select the services you want, then click "Continue"


9. If you selected "access internet with your phone ...", your Mac will prompt you to enter username, password and GPRS CID String. Find out such info from your network provider and input as instructed. GPRS CID String is the dialing string. Normally it is something like "*99#". (The one shown in the screenshot is not correct.) After that, click "Continue". If you selected "set up iSync to transfer contacts and events", iSync window will be open showing that your phone is added.


10. Setup is completed.

Send SMS using P2KTools

Send SMS using P2KTools

If you are using Windows PC, you can use the P2KTools to send SMS. Such that you can use computer keyboard to type the message, instead of phone keypad. It is alot more convenient.

Steps:

1. Connect your phone via USB, then open P2KTools. Switch to AT Mode by selecting "switch to AT mode" in the "switch to" dropdown box.

2. Click on "SMS" icon, then click "New".

3. The "Create Message ..." window is shown.

4. Input the target phone number in "Target" field and message in the "message text" box.

5. Select prefered Action and Code page, then click "OK" to send the SMS.

screenshot:


P2KTools can also receive and view SMS if your phone is connected.

For Mac users, don't be disappointed. Later I will show you how to send/receive SMS via bluetooth on your Mac.

P2KTools can be downloaded in this post.

Hex Edit Guide - part 4

Hex Edit Guide part 4

Continue from [Hex Edit guide part 1] , [part 2] & [part 3].

This part covers:
- edit kjava/j2me*.pat files to set permission for java midlets.

edit kjava/j2me*.pat files

Each java midlet has a corresponding pat file. The phone system use the pat file to determine the permissions for the midlets. You can edit the pat file to change the permissions. In the pat file, each offset represents a particular permission, and the value of the offset sets the option of the permission.

The following offsets determine selected option for corresponding permission

offset 06: Network Related > Data Network
offset 08: Network Related > Messaging
offset 0A: Network Related > App Auto-Start
offset 0C: Network Related > Connectivity Options
offset 0E: User Data Related > Multimedia Recording
offset 10: User Data Related > User Data Read Capability
offset 12: User Data Related > User Data Write Capability
offset 14: User Data Related > App Data Sharing

Possible values of the above offsets:
00 = 'access denied',
01 = 'always ask',
02 = 'ask once per app',
04 = 'never ask'

The following offsets determine available options for corresponding permission

offset 07: Network Related > Data Network
offset 09: Network Related > Messaging
offset 0B: Network Related > App Auto-Start
offset 0D: Network Related > Connectivity Options
offset 0F: User Data Related > Multimedia Recording
offset 11: User Data Related > User Data Read Capability
offset 13: User Data Related > User Data Write Capability
offset 15: User Data Related > App Data Sharing

Possible values of the offsets:
00 = no access/item not displayed,
01 = 'always ask' option,
02 = 'ask once per app',
03 = 'never ask',
04 = full unprompted access

Steps:
1. use P2K software to download the pat file of the midlet that you want to set permission. The file is in /c/mobile/kjava if the midlet is installed in phone memory. Please make a backup of the file.
2. open the file using Hex editor.
3. according to the above listed offsets, set the value of the offsets to grant the prefered permission.
4. save the pat file and upload it back to the same location of the phone.
5. restart the phone to see the change.

(Note: This guide will not work on most of those custom-made firmwares. It is for retail firmware only)

DRM Edit Guide for 08.D0

How to edit DRM (part 2) for phones with 08.D0 bootloader

Continue from [Part 1]. These are the extra steps in order to make your DRM flashable to phones with 08.D0 bootloader.

(Use this guide at your own risk, I am not responsible for any damage caused by using this guide.)

Tool you need:
1. RandomSHX

Part 2 steps:

1. Get my YuetMod DRM reflash file at [inbrite.com].

2. Start RandomSHX, then click button "Extract BIN files from SHX".

screenshot of RandomSHX:


3. Select my DRM reflash SHX file. After extraction, there will be a new folder "Extracted bin" created, and the extracted bin files are in that folder. Each bin file has a sequence number in its file name. Delete the bin file with sequence number 2.

4. Copy the CG15 SMG file, which you saved in the step 5 of the part 1 steps, to the "extracted bin" folder and rename the file to the name of the bin file which you just deleted in step 3. (Note: your CG15 SMG file should not be bigger than my #2 bin file.)

5. In RandomSHX, click button "Create SHX file from BIN". Select the .lst file in the "extracted bin" folder, then let RandomSHX do the job to create the SHX file.

6. Now you can flash the SHX file to your phone using RSDLite. You will see checksum error reported but it is ok. Your DRM will be updated anyway. There is way to fix the checksum error, but it will require Hex editing, so I will not explain it here. Enjoy your new DRM graphics.

Hex Edit Guide - part 3

Hex Edit Guide part 3

Continue from [Hex Edit guide part 1] & [part 2]

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

The following is a list of SEEMs that store text value:
0002_0001, 0002_0002, 0002_0003 ... - Shortcuts (Multiple Records)
0037_0001, 0037_0002, 0037_0003 ... - Quick Dial Numbers (Multiple Records)
