Help: vibrating pad registry keys - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I'd like very much to add a vibration to
the phone pad number of my Wizard.
I've tried the registry keys for winmobile 2003 but they don't work.
I've also tried Ezdial but nothing...
Does anyone know the windows mobile 2005 registry keys?
Thanks

hmm, my registry edits from my magician worked on my wizard! I'll attach a rar archive with two cabs inside. try vibrate cab file, it makes the changes for you. If you want the tones back, install the other one and the registry will be set back to your current values. remeber: After you make a reg edit, don't softreset or the changes will be lost. Better is to manually exit the regeditor by e.g. file-exit and not with the x in the upper corner. then soft reset or switch off and on by holding the power button 5 secs. Soft resetting directly after a regedit results in the edits not being saved in the ROM, hence no effect is seen.

wow! it works!
thanks very much.
bye

Thanks ! this registry edits work on my magician but I dont't that it was working on Wizard... Great !

Works great, thanks mate!
Is it possible to modify the cab-file so that you still get the vibrating number pad, but not the annoying beep when you press the red phone button?

Any way to rename a soft key?

I have just got my first Windows Mobile 5 Device, a MDA Vario. Its great, but Ive put Photo Contacts Pro on it, and changed the home screen soft key from contacts to Photocontactspro. Thing is, the app name is too long and gets cut off to "photo con"
Is there anyway to rename this softkey?
Thanks
You can do that in the registries:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 - right key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113 - left key
Values:
Default=Button label
Open=command
Cool, thanks
Hmmm
I wonder if you can help me.
I tried VITO ButtonManager and it has well and truly screwed up my softkey definitions for the Today Screen.
The right one seems to change what is does and the left one does not work at all.
I have disabled Button Manger but still cannot get the softkeys to work again.
How would I reset them to their original values?
Please bear in mind I have NEVER changed a registry key before?

Remapping SoftKeys
Robster, there is a complete incompatibility between our Wizard and VitoButtonMapper soft.
For interested people there is a specific soft to change Right and Left key applications (for instance, the right softkey is now launching TomTom instead of Contact).
Juste time to find where I may share this soft with you !
You could just follow the registry tweaks up top
It's not much more difficult from using Windows Explorer and notepad

Registry edits get reverted after reset

Does anybody know why this happens:
Whenever I change registry (for example HKCU\Control Panel\SIP\..), after reboot it gets reverted to original value.
I used Total Commnader. Roms I tried: 2.17 (qtek) and 2.24 (cingular).
Help appreciated.
Thanks.
after changing your registry, be sure to save the changes by a soft reset. To do this, do NOT poke the reset hole with your stylus, but rather shut the device down with the on/off button. Hold it for 5 secs untill the warning pops up. By resetting this way, your device uses the 5 secs untill the screen pops-up to write the registry to the ROM. If you soft reset immediately with your stylus after chaning the registry, the device has not enough time to write the changes to the ROM. Therefore, after a quick soft reset with your stylus changes might not be saved and the registry remains unchanged.
Problems with Registry settings
I also have problems with Registry settings. For instance some values seems to change back after a turn off/on (power button). Does anyone have a good doc/link that explains which Registry settings that actually can be changed by CAB-files and stay changed ?
Just to mention - on an SP5 (sorry for this in Wizard/K-JAM) I had a CAB-file that changed the Contacts soft-button into starting a 3rd party application. This only changed when an incomming call/phone application was started..a little confused about that

Registry changes not sticking...

Hi guys, I've tried editing my registry with regards to the A2DP issue with several softwares. Unfortunately, after rebooting the Trin (reset @ bottom of device), all changes I make seem to have disappeared.
I've used both Total commander and PHM as registry editor on the device itself and MobileRegistryEditor as a remote registry editor.
With the onboard reg editors I can make keys and add values but after reboot the entries have gone.
With the remote reg editor I can browse the reg without problems but get an access denied message when I attempt to edit anything...
For some reason or other I was able to add a MinSupportedBitPool setting one time. Don't know what was different that time around though.
Deleting keys also works as they stay gone once deleted.
It's just adding the keys that is making me go mad!!!

Thx ww2250, I didn't know this...
I had discovered meanwhile that if I used the reset option in the Trinityhacks app, I could make the changes stick, so this soft reset would be similar to holding down the power button apparantly.
Thx again
Yes indeed if you are doing a software reset, it will stick - the OS will flush the registry before restarting.

Turning off number-key sounds

I looked all over my Pro and the manual, but cannot find a way to turn of the sound of the number keys. Every time I start typing a phone number the sounds ring out and I want to turn them off. Can someone help me?
Ok, sorted it out with help from Treo Central. For those who want to silence the sounds as well:
I renamed the registry keys HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf1 trhough Dtmf# to get rid of those annoying LOUD sounds.
To set the keypad to vibrate: Rename Sound to Sound1 and add a new String value with "*vibrate*".
thanks to frause from TreoCentral.
Turning key sounds
To turn Off your DTMF on your Treo PRO
I edit the registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Keypress
Find Script Beep mode, change 2 to 0.
Soft reset.
It works for me.
hello i am a little new to all of this. i was wondering if you could tell me which program you use to edit the registry and give me some pointers on how to complete the modification you mentioned above. the key beep annoys me way to much. thanks for your help in advance.
Use a program like total commander or PHM Registry Editor.
Go to:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Keypress]
And change BeepMode to:
"BeepMode"=dword:00000000
Probably a silly question...but if I turn off the key sounds or turn them to vibrate - will it still send the tones when I press the button?
Yes it will! No problem what so ever

HD2 crashes at soft reset after registry tweak has been done.

It happens every time I did a soft reset after applied some sweet (didn't get the chance to feel...) Tips and Tricks on registry tools (Resco Registry Editor btw...).
one huge question, DO I Really need to "UNHIDE" every files on my HD2 before perform any Registry Editing?
HOpe for speedy reply!
Cheers,
b.u.m.p!

"it crashes".... how? does it hang at boot, freeze on home screen, what? we arent psychic
why would you need to unhide files to edit the registry? how are you applying the tweak?

alright. After did the tweaks with Resco Registry Editor. You have to soft reset them in order to take effect right? I did just that and just right after phone trying to load HTC sense, it doesn't make it through. the only button I can press was contact, phone, battery icon, signal icon. that's it. Not even the START button works. Message appeared on the screen was "Unable to locate "poutlook"...."
Oh one more thing. Do we need to wait for several minutes after we've done the registry tweaks before soft reset, ? will this prevent from
