is there a way to reread the registry after having changed some values without rebooting the device?
thanks for any hints
wolfgang
reread???
Do you mean setting it back to the previous or default settings?
no - I want to activate the changes, e.g. I changed the background image (a .bmp file, not a .tsk file) through the registry settings and want to activate it without rebooting the device.

Depends on the kind of setting. Some are immediate, like basehue, others require you to force a system change notification (eg by going into control panel) and some require reboot.

vijay,
thanks for the info. So I guess that I have to reboot the device, but I'll give the system change a try

Hi
I would really like to go 144dpi and I am trying to do so with ozvga 1 -->1.5 settings.
I did try the manual registry changes 90hex(144binary) which did chnage the text size however ozvga icons\spacing cant be changed (ozvga also seems to overwrite these settings when run). However I do get all my wifi\signal icons etc back
Which settings on ozvga can I use to get 144dpi?
I have all the 96dpi and 144dpi files in my windows dir and i have executed SdkCerts.cab and done a suspend\resume before rebooting...
Help..
Cheers

Is there a complete list of what reg settings are?
We need to set various default settings when users start our app.
eg volume, display brightness, gprs always etc etc.
any help appreciated .
cheers

doubt there is a compleat list
as ms are free to add and remove
regs with each version of wm
also there are many many many regs
most of which users and developers for that
matter should and have no reason to change
easy way would be to make the list of the things
you need changing and find the regs (if any exist)
and make your own of cause i could be wrong (but me being wrong i'm afraid is the harbringer of great challanges for mankind )
Simple.
1. Use a backup software to backup your current status of your phone.
2. Do a hard reset.
3. Use some registry copy software to copy all registries out onto your SD. This Registries will be your reference or default.
4. Every install of a new software registries changes. Copy the registries out again and you can make a comparison with text editors.
5. After going through all your installs, you will get all your different registries (default after reset, default of each apps install, etc).
6. After which you can do another hard reset and restore your backup. And you can also copy the registries for analysis.
I am trying to change some registry settings to do things such as 'adjust volume settings' 'adjust backlight settings' 'turn bluetooth on and off' etc etc.
I want to use mort script to make the changes but so far I haven't figured out how to make the changes take effect without a soft reset, even when making the changes with a registry editor.
Does anyone know how to do this so that the changes take effect immediately?
Any help appreciated.
two things:
1st: all of the things you mentioned above should work without a reset. the best thing to do is change the reg value manully and if it works with out a reset then you know the problem is in the mort script
2nd: If you know how to edit xml files then download this cab and edit the xml file how you want. this should help some

this has a lot of apps in it you will be looking for the one that says tweaks
Thanks for the info irus,
Like I said, using a registry editor to change the settings does not take effect until I soft reset.
For example (and i'd appreciate it if someone could test this on their phone) changing the values in HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume...."Volume" and "Ringer" to 0 assuming it is not already set to silent does not actually turn the phone to silent until I soft reset.
Could someone please check this for me and report back.
BTW I'm using a Trinity (HTC P3600) with AX3L's LITE ROM.
Thanks in advance.
I tried it and it did not work, you sould try to edit the xml file in the program i told you about and try it there. when i get done with homework i will try it my self
Registry value is read by windows while loading. In case of desktop pc if you restart the explorer process the registry gets loaded. you need to find some way to load the registry again.

I'm also interested in this theme. Does anyone know an answer?
Hi all,
My other half bought a Touch Plus yesterday and I've been adding software to it to make all that much better.
The contacts are stored on the SIM and I've copied them all into Pocket Outlook. I then made the reg tweak to hide the SIM contacts which worked immediately, hiding all the SIM contacts. However, when I soft reset the device (via software or holding down the power button and then re-powering on) the registry value goes back to what it was - showing the SIM contacts!
Is there any way that reg value can be kept to 0?
Cheers

Hi
I have the exact same problem and asked this question previously here, never got a answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359152
The first thing after a reboot is to hide my SIM contacts... If anyone have a solution it would be very nice.
Kind Regards
I have found a solution...
Download dotfred's excellent TaskManager/Registry Editor from: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Copy the exe to wherever you want on your device,
Use the registry editor in there to set the ShowSIM value to 0.
Export that registry value... to \My Documents\HideSIMContacts.reg (for example)
Create a shortcut to the task manager exe in Windows\StartUp.
Edit the properties of that shortcut (I use Resco Explorer) and set the Target as follows:
"<path to task manager>" \My Documents\HideSIMContacts.reg /silent
Make sure you have "'s around the Task Manager path BUT NOT around the path for the reg file.
Reboot...
Bob's your uncle.
I had the same issue with my previous Orange UK stock ROM, don’t know why the registry tweak does NOT stick after SR on certain ROM’s :-/ so in the end I resorted to installing the attached cab which fixed the issue
On my current HTCAsia WEE ROM the registry tweak works so no need for the cab fix! Anyway for those with ROM where the registry tweak does NOT work, you can use the fix mentioned here by NinjaDonkey or install the attached cab and soft reset, that should do the trick
AWESOME...thanks, I have a locked rogers HTC Touch and have tried many different Reg tweaks that would not stick to hide the SIMs in my Contacts, but the NIKI Sim fix above finally got it. Thanks, thank you, thanx again.
nikisimfix
hello !!
Thank you very much for this soft
Thanks guys for the wonderful solution.. I was going bonkers having to delete and add in all my contacts everytime I factory set my Niki. Cheers..

Anything out there yet? Trying to do the ICS fix to my registry and it's telling me ACCESS DENIED.
Also, is the Snap considered Maple or Willow?

i had the same freakin problem, the only difference is that i have a Ozone.
so what i did was i used the attached zip, i just followed the smartphone instructions and BAM worked like a charm.
and good question about the maple or willow..cause the Ozone is considered the "Cedar"...? why so many diff names ya know?
either way..try the attached zip, it might work for u too
Closer! Now I can delete or change things in the registry, but after a reboot the changes reverse back to original!
Anyone know why this is?
I also have the Sprint HTC Snap and I'm trying to get ICS working.
What's the preferred program for editing your registry? Can we get a reprint here of which keys we need to modify?
Thanks in advance,
Doug
Hi, i think i've got a solution for this on the Sprint Snap. first of all, i'm using PHM Registry editor smartphone edition. google for this cab: regedit.Stngr_ARM.CAB
second of all, here's how to reprovision the security on the snap so you can edit the registry.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...8c-d587-47e0-908b-09fee6ea517a&displaylang=en
install, and then install the tools.cab on your phone from the install directory, run the security configuration manager and connect your phone to your PC, then provision "security off", seems to work so far, and the values stick after a power cycle.
However, a word of warning. When changing or deleting the ForceCellConnection, the value will revert any changes you make after a power cycle and you will lose the connection selection box in the ICS app. this is the only reg value I've found that reverts. I get the feeling that sprint had some kind of script installed that keeps checking for and replacing this particular value.
Also, when using ICS on the "Sprint" setting, it throws an error message up at me and says i need to enter a user name and password. What's going on?
