I always have to manually regedit several entries every time I rebuild my phone (which is quite often) and am curious on how to automate this. With my PC I simply export the key, modify it if I'm actually deleting the key, and create a batch file with a regedit /s command. Can anyone direct me in this on the pocket PC?
TIA !

Howdy Steven - have you tried Resco Registry? From a quick peek I can see that it can import/export keys...might be just what you are looking for.
Two options:
1. Invest in Tweaks2k which will make setting a bit easier to apply.
2. Install a cab file. The catch here is that you are relying on someone else to accumulate and make the settings for you.
Here is a sample .cab file (a list of the changes are provided).

Steven,
if you tell me what registry entries you need (or if you can export them with a registry editor) then i'll build a cab file which can install the registry edits and all you need to do is reset the device after the cab installs.
by reset you'll need to do the power off reset not the soft reset pin hole...
PHM reg editor has a backup and restore. U could use this and its free

This is what I'm looking for, building a cab file. However I would like to be taught how to fish rather than being given a fish. Where can I find some instructions regarding this?
Thanks!
Steven
Well I was recently taught how to do this using an application called WinCE CAB Manager.....the license fee is expensive which is why I offered to do it for you....

The sample cab file you referenced is a start, thanks! I'm not a programmer but I can write a wicked Dos batch file so this is where I want to start I believe. 'long as I don't have to talk my wife into writing some C code or such I'm cewl.

I see that! $150 is quite expensive. I'm most appreciative of your offer. I really do want to learn to do this on my own though.
Thanks!
i think they have a trial....15 uses.?? i think.....so if you want to use that it works to a certain point.....

Hi Guys,
I just got my Jamin a few days ago and have hard reset it more times than I care to remember. There are a few things that irritate me that hopefully you guys can clear up for me.
Firstly, how do I switch off the recent programs section of the start menu?
Also, how do I clear recent searches and Terminal Service information?
Thanks,
DB
Ok... so this might not be the most complex of questions for you guys to answer... but someone MUST know... And the same for the dictionary... where's that located?
Both entries are in the registry. Both require you to perform a reset afterwards. You can not turn off the recently used programs list (stupid M$, I know!) but you can clear it. Attached is a CAB file that should clear the recently used list (make sure it is read only so it doesn't get deleted after you run it). It is meant for WM2003SE but I think it should work for WM5; you may just have to change the Max OS Version using WinCE CAB Manager. For the Terminal Services Client list, you will have to search the registry fo the IP/server name and then delete it manually.

Thanks Mate,
I appreciate the help
What app do I use to regedit? Obviously Start >Run - regedt32 doesn't work! haha
EDIT: Call me blind... but where's the attachment!? Haha
Yea, good point where is the attachment? This is the 2nd time this is happening to me on this forums in one day! The file upload keeps timing out, so I'm just going to tell you the Registry change you have to make and you will have to use WinCE CAB Manager to make your own cab file:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch]
"0"=""
"1"=""
"10"=""
"11"=""
"2"=""
"3"=""
"4"=""
"5"=""
"6"=""
"7"=""
"8"=""
"9"=""
Use PHM Registry Editor or trial version of Resco Explorer 2005. Both should be on Pocketgear.com or try google. Depending on your Registry editor you may have to exclude the speech marks.
Hope it helps
VJEschaton has a command line to clear the recent menu. However, the OS still requires you to soft reset. Defeats the point IMHO.

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

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt]

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

thx,
can be usefull after upgrade or hard reset

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"

I have read much info on registry editing and I have done one successfully already. However on the wiki the popular registry edits seem to not be in the same format. For removing the battery icon the instruction is:
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Is this simplay saying change the value of the existing ShowIcon to 0? Or am I supposed to create a new entry for this?

In the example you give, where the key already exists it means you change the value to 0. This is a fairly typical case where "1" means do/show the item and "0" means do not do the thing.

Hello, Mike:
I have enjoyed your posts, good advice and humor. Keep up the good work!
I am a slovenly user with above average interest in computers, and tweaking them to get them as I want them. No programming or other tech training, however. Is there a good tutorial "PPC Registry Editing for Dummies" out there somewhere?
I don't understand, for example, what the practical meaning for those of us who want to tweak the reg, come up against "this is a hex edit" versus "Dword."
Everyone knows that reg editing can be very dangerous. Unfortunately, I don't see a tutorial for it on this forum.
Thanks
Ben

Hi Ben and thank you
Unfortunately I don't have much time at present and possibly for a few days. I will hunt around for a guide to PPC reg editing. For now I'll just say that I use PHM reg editor (the freeware one) that allows enties to be made in different formats, decimal, hex etc (really just different formats for the same thing.) I would always say use a good full backup programme I use SPB backup so if things go awry it really doesn't matter as within 5-10 minutes you can revert back.
Cheers
Mike

Thanks alot for this, I wasn't keen on the other 1 but this is perfect! Good work!
it looks nice
I like your choice of items a bit more
Thanks!
well done
really usefull
Cheers! Good to see you people like it.
If there's anything you'd like to see improved, post it and I'll consider the good ideas.
edit: opps. i just realised i was posting this here should have been in the original thread...ohh well. mods feel free to delete this
----------------------------------------------------
i like it a lot as it is but there are a number of things you might want to consider:
1-i think an extra raw of apps can be added while keeping the the finger friendliness.
2- make it startable as an executable or soft key from tf3d hoome or button
3- option for discovravle mode blutooth
4- make it easy to change default apps
ohh btw, why is it relatively big 1.6mb for an app starter. can it be redused? mabe change the color depth or something
It's mostly the skin. The original application uses a sucky compression. There's no way I can reduce it and to me, 1.6mb is squat.
"Shutdown" gives an error (it didn't with smaberg's):
"Couldn't find PowerOFFLNK.lnk or PowerOFFEXE.exe"
Also "Calculator" gives the waiting icon and then nothing - I probably either have to edit the shortcut to windows default calculator or find HTC calculator from somewhere... Any ideas where to get the one that works with this setup?
Is the editing of application paths the same as with smaberg's? BIOTOUCH etc?
I actually like this one more then smabergs one, but it still isn`t perfect. Would it be possible to create a setup tool which would allow you to edit all the buttons?
I can`t imagine it being too hard since it`s just a few reg changes you would have to make?
//edit: I would love to make it myself but I guess it would take ages (at least, maybe longer) before I would be done.
However, if anyone knows the command you have to pass to the text client to automatically start the message for a certain person I would be more then pleased .

I'll fix it in 1.1.
And yes, the calculator points to HTCCalculator. As this is based on smaberg's app, the paths are edited the same way.
You can download the HTCcalculator from this forum.

Creating that setup tool would take me longer than it would take you (and everyone else) to find out how to edit it.
Also, you'd only be able to edit the execute paths, not the icons (skin).
And I don't know the parameter for a certain person (even if it's possible).

Updated to 1.1.

True. That`s why I`m editing it right now.
I want to make a cab of it cause I reinstall allot!
But I have a little problem creating a new cab.
I used a cab extractor to get all the files out, but what did you use to create the cab itself?
I used several tools but they all fail to install..
Thanks in advance for the help, I really appreciate it.
//edit: I managed to create a cab, actionscreens rock
Great. Thanks for 1.1.
I found the HTC Calculator and now everything not only looks great but also works
I actually managed to create a cab. Furthermore, I was able to make a shortcut for a sms contact (well technically it`s a number, but it stands for a contact)
The shortcut should be to tmail.exe and its parameters are:
Code:
-service """sms""" -to """the number"""

Hehe, nice one. Making cabs isn't hard, just use WINCE cab mgr.
great app and good things added to smabergs port
but i think with this u can do so much more.
beginning with the skin. the shadowsong skin doesnt fit on any x1 and the manila skin is boring for me.
i really like to give a contribution to this app in form of a new skin/design
but i dont know how to do it. can u pack all the image files in 1 rar and upload it here so i can modify them?
thnx in advance
(oh and sry for bad english...)
just a word of advice to all who use this app.. I have american x1a and used phone (babied) it was pwerfect, until i tried to take battery cover off and inadvetantly put a finger on the power button while leveraging it off. my power btton sunk in and jammed, staying with no way of extracting. cost me 185 to repair via sony, they formatted my phone and were less than helpful... DONT ABUSE UR POWER BUTTON! IT MAY JAM!

I vote +1 for "funniest post in the X1 forum". xD
Oh, and Kid_DC, the shadowsong skin fits perfectly with my TF3D shadowsong theme
I know what you mean though. I've already improved the black skin a bit.
The skin files are installed to your \windows\AnX1\Actionscreen folder, they're .brn files. You can find a converter brm <-> bmp here on xda.
and why do u use brm, when u first have to convert them?
are they smaller?
