· Speed Up Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
WOW my Pocket PC is fast! I just bumped into an old registry tweak that I have yet to use on Windows Mobile 2003. A foreign site todopocketpc had mentioned this and I was surprised I had not used it on my new install. once I applied this reg tweak I immediately saw a difference in how fast my Windows Mobile Pocket PC responded. Today plugins load faster my Games folder loads faster. Its just an overall better experience. I would highly suggest backing up your Pocket PC before you try this as playing with your registry can cause problems if you do not know what you are doing. Protect your Pocket PC BACKUP!
If you need a registry editor, you can find a free one at http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/regeditce.shtml
1. Open your registry editor on your Pocket PC
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768
4. Close registry editor and soft reset.
That's it! Let me know what your results are

It's not set for 2.06.00WWE ROM. Perhaps that's one of the few differences we are seeing for 2.02 and 2.06...and for that matter, 2.20.
what does it do anyway? i mean.. you say it speeds up the pocketpc response... how?
Dear,
[/quote]3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768
Not knowing what it actually does, I have given it a try. However, my WM2003SE (V2.06) has already had such value set at 131072. Any ideas about the differences.

Does anyone know the registry setting for the alarm tweak for WM2003?
yeah! like a correctly looping tone! with no pauses
here's a few
*** Speed Up Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
1. Open your registry editor o_n your Pocket PC
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768
4. Close registry editor and soft reset.
*** fix suspend timeout
The issue therefore is how long the unit is in the suspend power state before reverting to off. The time interval involved is stored in the registry at the following location HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattResumingSuspendTimeout and is initially set to 15 (seconds). The amount of time required seems to depend on the number of alarm entries in the Calendar - I have about 300 entries and find that 175 seconds works for me. The reason for just under three minutes is because my full power off timeout is set to 180 seconds (three minutes) and it seems more correct for the suspend time out to be shorter.
*** low battery alerts
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a String value named "Default" and set its value to "Low battery warning".
Now go to Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications applet > Notifications tab, select "Low battery warning" in the "Select an event" drop-down list and you can customize it.
*** disable start menu animation
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\
Change the "AniType" value from 6 to 0.
*** add date to start bar
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
Save any unsaved document and reset your Pocket PC.

AutoStart a Program
Do anybody know how to make a program run automatically when i soft reset my PPC :roll:
Autorun
Hi gwassef,
just create a shortcut for the program you want to start automatically and copy that shortcut into the /Windows/Autostart folder. Then the program starts on soft reset.
Greetings,

I know its possible on non-WM5 devices but what about the Universal?
Don't intend to install tweak2k2 but just a simple registry hack
Anyone knows?
Thanks
You can run PHM Registry Editor (search on Google) and simply change the reg entry. Unfortunately I can't remember which one it is off the top of my head. Nor can I search on x-d at the moment, as even searching for the word "date" returns no results!??!?

From the wiki
Code:
Change the date in the Titlebar
?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell "TBOpt"=hex:\
13,00,00,00
Change 3 as follows: 0:blank 1:time only 2:date only 3:date & time
Can someone figure out how to stop date line from being bold.
Combine this with follwoing to get a date that fits:
Set short date format to something other than the limited list provided under settings>regional
?HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides "SSDte"="d.M "
This gives 1-10 format with a space behind so that date is not cut off by OK button

Hi vijay555,
I thnk what you posted applies to non-WM5 devices but not for the Universal

Could well be, I've never tried it, but it came from the Universal wiki:

There is. You can install the The CAB bellow and then softyreset and then in language settings change : to . and then you can see date and time .

RE
Hi Mahmood,
Thanks.
I got both the short date (on top) and time (below) on the top bar. However, the short date 30.11.05 is displayed in BOLD and that results in the number 5 being partially hidden on the top right corner supposedly covered by the 'X' where you click it to close programs
Any help?
Thanks again
Hi there,
You can pad the entry with other characters or spaces.
ie: "dd.MM "
Note that this will affect all short date occurrences (ie: when you list files in excel/word/explorer).
Cheers.
RE
Hi heidy,
My short date format is d.M.yy for English (United Kingdom)
I don't think I can find anything shorter.
Thanks
RE
Ok, got it!
My date displayed is now 30.11 (without the year)
If only we could hack the letter type and size d.M.yy should fit next to the X.
FOSA
how did you do it its not working for me
RE
Hi magpie2000k,
1) Download the date.cab file
2) Install and softreset
3) Use a registry editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell you should see "TBOpt"="13,00,00,00"
4) Then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides you should see "SSDte"="d.M "
5) Go to "Start" -> "Settings" -> "Regional Settings" -> "Date (for English US) and under Short date select d.M
The date on the top bar will be 30.11 (in BOLD) and not covered by the "X" icon
I got it working on my Wizard without installing the cab file, just did the reg edit and the date showed up after a soft reset, no need to adjust it in regional settings either. I am very happy with this, thanks guys and vijay555 in particular, your answer helped me out.
Could it be that in HKLM/System/GDI of GWE the fontsizes are located?
RE
I would like to report a small problem though.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides and set "SSDte"="dd.M " instead of "SSDte"="d.M " because when the date changes to 1.12 ( 1 Dec) a partial sqaure appears next to the 2.
With the new setting you'll get the date as 01.12 instead of 1.12(with a partial square)
Can someone please post a screen shot so we can see how it looks. Thanks.
RE
Hi guys,
So Sorry.

If you'll to set "SSDte"="dd.M " you get the 2 partially hidden
So the only way is to set "SSDte"="d.M " and with a partial hidden square next to the 2
Well, just have to settle for "SSDte"="d.M " with a partial square until someone can find a solution to un-BOLD the date.
I set mine to
Code:
"SSDte"="MM / dd "
(living in the US) and have no more problems with squares or such.
Hi folks,
You guys might already know about this but I just discovered how to do it after doing some heavy googling over the past couple of days. Many thanks to the guy at this link who made the discovery!
How to lock down the clock on Windows Mobile devices
I was reading through some of the messages on the microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.compactframework newsgroup when I came upon a real gem of a message.
The key piece of knowledge being, that there is a special registry key, that will disable GUI access for the clock on Windows Mobile devices.
Application State Registry Key for Windows Mobile Clock
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Clock\
If this is set to 0x11 the clock is enabled, as by default. If it is set to 0x30, or probably anything not 0x11, it is disabled and ignores any attempts to run.
If you are writting any kind of salesforce automation applications, or route management software, then you can see just how useful this feature is. You just add a special admin feature to enable and disable the ability to set the time, or handle it entirely from within your application.
Now I just need to find out why this key even exists, since I hate to find out the OS likes to change it under circumstance X.
// disable clock
System.Byte[] offValue = new byte[1];
offValue [0] = 0x30;
OpenNETCF.Win32.RegistryKey registryKey =
OpenNETCF.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\Microsoft\Clock\", true);
registryKey.SetValue("AppState", offValue);
registryKey.Close();
// enable clock
System.Byte[] onValue = new byte[1];
onValue[0] = 0x11;
OpenNETCF.Win32.RegistryKey registryKey =
OpenNETCF.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\Clock\", true);
registryKey.SetValue("AppState", value);
registryKey.Close();

Hi dav!
I am sorry to burst your bubble, but I tried this registry hack, and found there is an easy way around it, with out editing the registry.
If you hold the OK hardware button (in the center of the joystick, on those devices that have it) then tap and hold the clock (in the task bar) you get a little menu with 2 options: Run and Clock.
If you choose clock from this menu, the app will start and the registry setting will automatically be altered so you will be able to open clock settings normally from now on.
Further investigation showed that the lower 4 bit of the AppState walue (ones digit) simply selects on what tab the clock app will open. Legal values are 1-3. Any illegal value (like 0) will jam the app preventing it from opening by tapping the icon in settings. I suspect that if a command line switch is specified it overwrites the registry value and the app opens any way. (that’s how the menu works)
Just thought you should know.
Hi levenum,
Thanks for the insights! I just tried it too and sadly that is the case ;-( Mmmh, I wonder if there is a way to hide 'Clock' from the Run\Clock thingy? or disable the Clock in some other way?
mmh, back to the drawing board...
Dav
Here's what you might try:
Create a cab that deploys an empty clock.exe to windows directory on the device.
Clock.exe is a ROM file, but a cab should be able to overwrite it (it won't work manually). This way no matter who calls it (menu or control panel) they will see the empty exe and nothing will happen.
Sounds like a good idea to me! I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks for your continued help
Dav
Worked nice Thankyou!
btw, do you think that overwriting the Clock.exe would have any effect on the 'displaying' of the date in the Today Screen? By clicking the date we launch the Clock.exe program, but something else other than Clock.exe must control what shows the current date, right? I mean, the current date wouldnt just stay on the date on which we delete Clock.exe?
Cheers and thanks again,
Dav
Actually, if the exe was responsible for the date on the today screen, you wouldn't see anything once you overwritten it. Today date is just another plug-in. I think its clockdll.dll but I am not sure. Whatever the file name, it takes the date directly from the system clock.
As I understand it clock.exe is just a little GUI utility for setting system time, and alarms.
That sounds right and what i was thinking, always good to have a second opinion for confimration.
All the best,
Dav
seems like you guys might know what your doing, so do you know how to get the battery removed and the clock back on the today screen of WM5 latest rom releases....

wow..thanx for this. worked like a charm on my wing (and 2 yrs after it was posted i might add =P). i thought my alarm clock was lost FOREVER!
Hi,
I found the following code in this discussion thread:
// disable clock
System.Byte[] offValue = new byte[1];
offValue[0] = 0x30;
OpenNETCF.Win32.RegistryKey registryKey =
OpenNETCF.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"\Software\Microsoft\Clock\", true);
registryKey.SetValue("AppState", offValue);
registryKey.Close();
It looks pretty useful to me but It has some OpenNETCF keyword.
Please suggest me what is OpenNETCF? Is it an additional third
party compact framework and how can I get this?
Also, if it is inbuild reference by Microsoft, from where to get it?
-Abhishek Maitrey
OpenNETCF is an extra SDK for WiMo devices. Search for it....
In this situation it's not needed.
Hello,
does anybody now where the alarm configuration tool is configured? I mean the application that is triggered when the HTC home plugin clock is clicked.
Nothing can be found in the registry and google and these forums are also 'fruitless'...
It is hard to imagine that HTC has hard-coded such a application in their application...
Greetings,
Peter Vrenken
go to Settings > System > Clock & Alarms.
I would like to start ptravelalarm instead of the standard Windowsclock touching the HTC clock. Is that possible?
This is exactly what i am trying to do... Just not with the ptravelalarm application
Is there anybody who knows how to achieve this?
Greetings,
Peter Vrenken
Is there noone that knows how to achieve this?
People have asked about changing the HTC Home actions before (normally the three buttons on the Home Tab, but I think this will be the same).
A lot of devs have looked at this and cannot find any settings that govern the applications launched.
Only thing left to do is open up your Hex editor and get hacking. (Let me know if you fix it )
Ta,
Dave
Jikes!
no thank you... :-(
Bummer...
you can just overwrite the clock.exe since u cant delete it. i promise u can overwrite it. my htc home opens a diff alarm program for me now . the thing is getting the alarm to change icons and it's just pointing htchome.dll in the right direction. I already have an idea how i just have to be sure how to change hklm to hkcu in registry and point it to where i want it yeah
overwriting clock.exe to the program u want works. only thing is to make the alarm on icon in htc home to pop up. I have located it in the htchome.dll... the thing is to change the values coz it is pointed to hklm for the indicator rather than hkcu where programs would be. any hex "readable" tutorials u guys can point me to so i can look into this better?
i cant find a way to change certain today screen plug ins to either move them up or down. some of them are only allowed to move up to a certain point, but i wont settle for that. i would imagine theres a registry hack of some sort to allow a plug in to be moved up or down without any limits... but could anyone explain that to me?
thanks
(((I'm using the TodayTime app [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261074] and it cant be moved up above my HTC Home.)))
You need to download and use HTC Home Customizer and unlock the today plugin.
Search Google for the latest
i have hhc, but what do you mean by unlock the today plug in?
On Second Though: I got it. I never even realized that... coulda used advanced config too.
thanks
Affixing the Today Plug-ins
In order to affix the plug-in, you will need a Pocket PC registry editor to amend
some registry value. It is always wise to backup your registry before making any
changes to it, just in case something goes bad.
*
Once you're ready, use the registry editor and navigate to:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\TODAY ITEM NAME
*
Open the value named Type under this path
*
Change the DWORD value data from 4 to 5
*
Save the changes
*
Soft-reset the Pocket PC to take effect
If you change your mind later and wish to revert to a movable plug-in, just repeat
the above steps but reverse the DWORD value from 5 to 4.
