I found that entry a few days ago. I tried it, but nothing happens.
What do you can see/do in engeneering mode?

Just tried it. It opened a tabbed dialog that shows all the info the phone is getting from the cellular network.
Tower number, GPRS settings and a lot of stuff I know nothing about. Nice diagnostic tool.
P.S.
funnysurf, did you dial the number correctly? For me it opened the second I entered the last *. (on Jamin, ROM 2.13.9.123)

It works... Latest Dopod ROM.

HTC Engineering Mode
I've been hunting for a way to see this info. I design cellular networks and this stuff is my second language. However, I don't see anything in any fields of GSM Test Mode. They start with "N/A" then immediately go blank. I've done the registry setting but no change. When I do the '*#'-thing, I get nada. Got any clues?
FYI- I found a program called NiceTrack that shows only some of this info, so I know it's in there somewhere, but I need to see more.

jott2me, post your ROM version. On the Dopod's 2.15 it works.

GSM Test Mode
The key word is “built in” If you have a little program GSM TestMode.exe in your windows directory, this registry tweak makes this program visible and executable. Plus don’t forget to soft reset your device in order for registry modification to take effect.
By the way, if you use this data a lot, you can make a shortcut to this utility as to any executable. No need to dial the *# a hundred times. Or just add it to your speed dial…

You guys sure respond fast! Wow! And thanks!
JWalker, here's my info:
ROM version: 1.8.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 12/10/05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.20
ExtROM version: 1.8.10.104
(I've only had this about a month so I'm leary of changing ROM versions.)
aleksandr,
I'm running Spb's Today screen (it's nice) and I've got an icon that puts me right into GSMTestMode.exe when the reg tweak is set to 1. I've reset several times still no luck seeing info. I made a contact with the '*#' stuff but when I dial it, I get, "The number you have dialed..." message.
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.

GSM menu
How did you reset your device, programmatic soft reset or with your stylus? Soft reset with stylus will erase registry modifications without saving them. Sorry, don't mean to use "dummy" talk, just want to make sure all proper steps are followed to eliminate all possible reasons in order to find the solution. Another reason for this issue could be in rom, but wait for J. Walker to respond. I'm in the office right now and don't have emulators here to experiment with your rom version. In the mean time make sure you’ve made all necessary registry changes in right registry entries, and soft reset using program, something like Nice start or shut down XP or SPB Pocket Plus reset function.

I've been using TRE to edit the registry then resetting it using the stylus and the hole on the right side. Every reg change I've made shows up after a reset as changed. I don't know of another way to soft reset it. Even when I've changed it back to 0 to try using JUST the GSM Test Mode.exe, it won't work. That's proof that the registry does see the changes (I think).
(... and I'm the newbie here so "dummy" talk is A-Okey doke w/ me.)

Guess, it is a good idea to change to 2.x ROM. The only thing I know that it works fine with my original S200 with Dopod's 2.15.13.27 ROM. It much morу stable and fast, so you will got the better feeling

Hi,
on Vodafone ROM 2.15.3.26 GER it does not work. I create an Link to \Windows\GSMTestMode.exe and do it that way

I tried creating the link to GSMTest but that still didn't work. I think I'm going to have to change ROMs. I'm very reluctant because I don't know where or how to get and install one. I've seen that this site is full of talk about ROM upgrades, but I haven't seen one that tells me how to do it.
The thing is that what I'm really really after is not just the GSMTest screen so it may or may not even involve a new ROM. What I really want is to learn where the info is hiding and how to display it and make some of it usable in graphical format (something like "NiceTrack" does but with all the info not just a couple fields). It's more of a programming thing. So if anyone knows where this info is stashed and how to read it, I'd go that direction. I thought that GSMTest would be a quick & easy step toward what I'm after.

any change someone could add the gsm test program. I did found the engineering key in the registry, but no program in the windows directory and entering the code on the phonedial pad didn't work as well.
i'm running tuma 1.3 wm5 rom on a qtec 9090

I'm sorry, but I have to ask this question. After a year or so of using these amazing little hacks I've always wondered one thing. . . How in the HELL do you folks figure out these things exist?!

My thoughts exactly... I discovered this site 2 years ago when I had the Xda2 and I'm still amazed at the information that I can dig up here. Guess some of us have the privelege of playing with our gadgets more than others...

i had to go into the props of the file and change it from hide. i also had to use resco and searched for the file name and changed it there. from there i copied the file and choose poaste shortcut to the windows\start menu\programs

My first Performance Registry Tweaks CAB file

Okay okay...I know there are already a few CAB files with performance tweaks, but I made one (my 1st CAB file ) with the settings I like!
You can download 2 versions, one for Dutch users (like me) and one for WWE users.
I have 2 different versions because of a Today Item tweak with the Calendar and on Dutch Roms this is called Agenda.
I know that most of the settings here are also in apps like Registry Wizard, but this CAB files executes way faster then installing and configuring Registry Wizard
A little note: You can uninstall the program, but the settings will stay in the Registry so you have to change them manually!
Regards,
Molski
UPDATE (04-08-2006):
I updated the file to file into one file for Dutch and WWE users, I almost forgot about this file so I still didn't mention what all the registry changes are doing, but like Dr. Puttingham said....in the Wiki you can find everything back!
This file also consumes about +/- 1-2 MegaByte from your RAM Memory, but hey...what do you like more...More RAM or More Speed?
p.s. Here you can see which Registry Settings are applied in the CAB files:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms]
"dot11SupportedRateMaskG"=dword:00000008
"dot11SupportedRateMask"=dword:00000001

Thanks molski, could you include a list of what all the reg tweaks do, for those not so techie, either in a post or txt or doc format, cheers.

I will....when I have some more time, I barely had the time to make this CAB file for myself

Nice going. My files are downloaded 14 times already, so I guess people find my files useful?
If so, please let me know, I will see what more I can create or adjust
I had a huge load of support with my questions on this forum, so it's nice to finally do something back for the community
Regards,
Molski

thx,
can be usefull after upgrade or hard reset
CIAO!

Thanks molski! I think you've got a few more tweaks included than the CommonSpeedRegHacks I was previously using.
Great job!

i must take wwe or not ?
i have got rom dopod 818 pro (qtek s200)
thanks

I dont know if it works on a S200, it is created for a Wizard, so I can only say try it and see if you notice any difference in performance
Molski

any chance you can explain what exactly the tweaks do?

Hi, is there a guide how to make a cab file that automatically installs registry tweaks? I'd like to make my own custom one, so after a hard reset I don't have to do the tedious tweaking...

Could someone explain how to make one of these CAB files for registry changes? I have searched high and low for the answer.

I did something similar for my 8125. Since I have a tendency to frequently hard reset it, I did a registry file with a bunch of the normal hacks I do, as well as setting up MMS and such. Works like a charm, although I use Resco Explorer with the registry option to do it. I haven't made a CAB file yet.
Saves loads of time after a hard reset.

How might one make this registry file? I'd really like to know.

What do the tweaks do.. .please
Can you tell us what these tweaks do?

@wiredup If you read the WIKI you'll get a lot of knowledge regarding the reg settings. These WM5 changes have been documented countless times here and also on the BA WM5 forum and other places I'm sure.
You can do some googling for more knowledge if you so desire.
molski incorporated these into a very nice cab file that is one of the very first things that I install on all of my devices. His is the most complete so far regarding speed improvements IMO
(Just one of his many contributions)
Thanks again molski!

tracking down a particular .cab
Hi
Is there any way to track down a specific regisry string ? i am searching for a string that carrys the label enter pin code at the position where it should actually say enter Simlock password. so i want to adjust this to the approriate text label, however i cannot seem to locate this string to make the text adjustment.

What is the default value for Glyphcache? I read bot 8 and 4 MB in different threads?

Tweaks...
You're tweaks seem good so far... Would be nice if you could put what each one does... I am familiar with most thou. I like my GPRS/EDGE Icon to be different, so I went back and changed that. Also are skinny scroll bars actually providing better performance?
I'm gonna try this out for awhile with OMAPSCALER set at 228 (I had it at 240 with random shutdowns before, but I dont think it was overheating) and see how my performance is.
Also there are programs out there that will create CABs that change registry values... i.e. "WinCE CAB Manager"

need help with registry tweak...

hi,
i just got myself a TyTN, before that i had qtek 9100 and i use to use this tweak:
By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status,
WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
now i tried it on my TyTN and it doesnt work...each time after making the changes to the reg. when i softreset the .dll file gets missing in the reg. ? i dont understand why it shouldnt work as both the devices use wm5 ? could some please help me with this?
thanks,

Try taking off the quotes on netui.dll and adding the windows directory in front \windows\netui.dll
String value Name=DLL
String Value Data=\windows\netui.dll
Seems to work for me
I also have dword key for FLags and OPtions, but they are set to 0

I've done this on my TyTN and it works fine. I think the key is to actually close the registry editor program (not just hit the X to minimize it) before the soft reset to ensure that all of the changes are saved to the registry.
hope this helps.

hi thnx for the prompt replies, but none of that helped...from the start i never used the quotes, im using PHM Registry Editor, and when i click on "ok" it asks me to save changes or not so im sure the changes are saved i have even verified it again by opening the prog. but when i softreset the dll key just disappears...i tried adding /window/ in front of netui.dll also...btw im using 1.18.255.3 english rom...
EDIT:
ok so after playing arround a little i have come to the conclusion that the reason why the dll key is not working is coz the .dll does not exist? i have looked a little into /windows/ folder and i see a file named "netmui.dll.0409.mui" but nothing like "netui.dll"...i even did a search nothing comes up...so someone could see and tell where must this dll file is located i could verify if it really there or not...
Thanks,

There already and discussion about this and already had the temporary fix.
You just need and registry editor
like resco explorer
and goto HLKM/ControlPanel/Phone
and in SuppressUSSD
Changed the 1 to 0 (zero)
wait for a while (2 minutes or more) and soft reset
\

...
Thank you for your config.Work on my device ETEN x500

[REQ] Blackberry Cab for SetModelID etc

I am a ROM junkie, but while I can automate setup on most things for a new ROM, the whole BB issue is a PITA. My request is someone writes a cab (OR explain to me how and I will do it!) that does the following:
Installs SetModelID.exe into windows
registry change:
HKLM\init: Create a new string: Launch130 with value: SetModelID.exe
registry change:
HKLM\system\versions\aku - change to .1.6.3
registry change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContexts\
Create 310260 with GPRS and UMTS to 3 [NOTE: THATS ONLY FOR T-MOB USA, NEEDS SPECIFIC FOR OTHER OPERATORS]
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry

hi can you explain why this changes?
i recive in late (30 min.) many mails and sometime i don't recive some others
depends from this 2 registrys keys?
registry change:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\RIL\OperatorContex ts\
Create 310260 with GPRS and UMTS to 3 [NOTE: THATS ONLY FOR T-MOB USA, NEEDS SPECIFIC FOR OTHER OPERATORS]
where i can find world operetor list?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cellular\RIL\
set the Contexts value to 3
Delete the NetworkContexts entry
Thank u very much

i am certainly no expert, but these changes allow BB to run at the same time as other data sucking apps (otherwise it goes to Radio Blocked). The last changes do this.
Look up on wiki for your operator info. read the other BB threads too.

if you can upload the .exe file i can make the cab for ya

thats great.
To make this generally useful, can you add a query for users to enter in their relevant cellular provider key (mine for TMOB US is 310260), or make it automatic (which I would have no idea how to do).
Order should be:
Install setmodelid.exe into /windows (attached)
scripts as above

not sure how to do all that, but here is the cab of the info that you gave me!!

thanks for that. i will test it ou!!

can i use this on HTC Diamond to make it think its Raphael... cuz i wanna try out the Blackberry APP Suite as well
