Missing GPS option from Settings - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I used to have an option called GPS under Settings of WM5 of my Cingular 8125 (aka HTC Wizard). I suspect, I may have deleted it accidentally. I did hard reset, but it hasn't come back. How can I restore it?

some info for Universal posted here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
should still apply
To hide or show the GPS connection in the connections panel
The settings are at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings'
The 'Hide' DWORD value should be set to '0' or deleted to show the panel and to '1' to hide the panel
The 'Group' DWORD value should be set to '2' to show the panel and deleted to hide the panel
For example, to show the GPS connection in the connectionss panel
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Hide = 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2

hi Simon_darley,
Thanks for the link and suggestion. When I looked at that key on my phone, I don't see those values instead I see "Redirect". Still, I created those values (Hide & Group), but the icon didn't appear in any of the pages of settings or program. After soft reset, it didn't either. And strangely, the new values disappeared. Next I deleted "redirect" and recreated the values, but the same problem continued.

how did you soft reset? are you using 3rd party software to do the reset? if not, you need to cycle the power off using the power button for about 20 seconds before you reset.
I think you will need to remove the redirect key.
I checked on my Universal and enabled that feature via those exact registry keys.
If that doesnt help, then i cannot unfortunately as I dont have the wizard.

ssaibal,
Did work?
Thanks

That didn't work
I tried various methods...but none worked. Now I have the Hide and Group values in place all the time and "redirect" deleted. I understand that these stuff are part of the ROM and so when I do a hard reset, it should restore the settings to default. It is really strange that it is not back. I haven't done ANY updates to the ROM. This is just 2 weeks old phone from Cingular.

Hello,
Thanks.
My ROM never has this option!
I intended to put it, but if don't work by this way... I think will flash a new ROM... maybe the newer iMate, Think is the newest ROM for Wizard (I have a MDA Vario).

Hello,
Do you have (or not) Reditect Key?
Wizard?

I do not have a redirect key at all.

same here, no redirect key

Well, never heard about GPS option on Wizard.
Did You mean GPRS?

no gps,
if you set up tomtom with a gps receiver, the only choices in bluetooth settings for com ports are com 6 or 7, in tomtom neither of these are available as a choice, if you enable the new gps icon, you can create a new com port in the tomtom gps settings to use, eg com 6.
this is not the only use for this new icon, but it does what i need.

had the same problem (com6/7) not showing until i installed version5.12 of tomtom.... and it just showed up & worked.

Hi everybody,
Ssaissal, I have this option under System settings of WM5 on my M3000 (Qtek9100 by Orange). I have installed VirtualEarthMobile.cab on it but I am not sure if the GPS setting comes with or not.
If you are interested, visit: https://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/attachment/526876.ashx
Regards.

Attached is a small cab file and it will give you what you are looking for

spants,
But You can add COM ports at bluetooh manager... I can add port 6 with Tomtom 5.21 at my Wizard!

afaik at least the most recent Wizard roms do NOT have the GPS applet installed.
No matter what you chage in the registry, you wont see GPS in settings because it simply is not there.
For use with most software no issue, as they all expect to communicate via a SPP com port
(as is TomTom)

Hide New Menu Icon

Hi,
I need to hide the New Menu icon which is present on the bottom left of the screen. I am able to delete all items from the New Menu by deleting the following key and all its subkeys from the registry -
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extension\NewMenu
However, the New button \ icon still remains. I need to hide or remove it completely.
Any ideas?
Thanks once again.
Best Regards,
Dav

Hi vijay555,
Thanks for help. I used your program 'Toggle New'. It works well but now I have the keyboard icon left instead. Any ideas on how to remove the keyboard icon as well? Thanks once again for any tips.

You should be using the newer version posted I think in the first post. Use that with the appropriate command line option. One of the versions in that thread fixed the SIP icon issue. I use that version, so it should work.

Hi,
Thanks again vijay for your help. Although your tool works well it is not going to work for my purposes. I need to be able to customize the build of a device and need to go via the registry directly at least to hide a bare minimum the Screen Rotation icon (now done), the WLan Manager icon (changing the value of the Subkey "Keep" does not work on my device), and hiding (if possible) the bluetooth manager icon. Running your exe is useful as it removes all the icons but infortunatley now leaves the keyboard. As the device will have to reconfigure itself following a hard reset, flat battery etc... I need to do all these things and cant really use a third party exe or pass a command line argument to an exe. So I really need to know what registry key's to change or edit to get these things done, and if these changes can be done via a CAB, exe or whatever... So any tips on what registry keys to tweak would be appreciated. Sometimes (as I'm finding out!) the reg keys are not given the most obvious name, and as yet i havent found any doco on what all the reg keys do...
Cheers,
Dav
Dav, not sure which version you're using, but the version I've been using for months was specifically re-written to fix the SIP keyboard icon issue.
There's a new release coming relatively soon that will have WM5 dual compatibility. It might be worth waiting, but the current WM2003 version in that thread, somewhere, should solve the SIP issue.
PM and tell me what you need to do in the registry. If I can help, I will.

Did someone try to remove all new menu entries? Maybe this would hide the menu (but have the bar itself remain).
Chatty, that wouldn't work AFAIK, but it would be easy to write a program to hide the new menu button if you needed to.
V
in relation to this topic, can we "ADD" some menu items in the NEW Menu button?
Yes, you can.
I think there are programs the let you edit the menu. Just not sure what they are.
You can also do it manually, but it's just a bit tricky.
Look at the first post. Find that registry key on your device and look at it's sub keys. Each of them contains a string that will appear in the menu, and the key name gives the CLSID of the object.
You can fined the registry settings for creating the object in HKCR\CLSID.
Thank you for the reply levenum. But i cant find any of the applications i installed in the HKCU\CLSID.
Hi oldsap!
That's the real tricky part. Not all apps register a CLSID and not all of them can create a new document from command line.
You could check how existing CLSIDs are structured, and try creating one manually for the program you want.
Unfortunately, that won't work for every program. For some there will be no way to add a 'new' shortcut.
Couple of different issues here: the dlls are published through their CLSID, so when you program a new menu extension you must have a unique CLSID.
However, having access to the CLSID doesn't do much other then let you add or remove those items to the existing New Menu.
But creating an entirely new item, eg "Create bluetooth contact" would require you to program that extension as a dll, and then add the unique CLSID to the registry entries above.
And to go back on topic, hiding the new menu button entirely is easy enough.

Adding memory settings/apps icon to HTChomeplug! How?

As the title says..does anybody know whats the (exe) file of the memory settings app?so I can add it to HTChomeplug (editing the reg entries etc...) It's driving me nuts I cant seem to find the file..argh.
Thanks for your help guys..
Hi,memory.exe is in the windows folder.You can also download it here if you don't have it.After you modify registry like this :
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\ and add a new key.Copy the same string value as the other keys.You can put what you want in there.

I agree with the above post, an example would be great.
My examples:
(4 and 5 are the locations on the screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\windows\iexplore.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\iexplore.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\5]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
For me this works better:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
"ResPath"="\windows\htcicon.dll"
"iconindex"=dword:00000110
Otherwise the icon will be cut. There are icon versions in memory.exe in 16x16 and 32x32, but for HTCHomeplug 24x24 is needed.
BTW: I use the official HTC-ROM (WM5, GPS).
I notice that the two ways shown above used two different iconindex.
What rule, if any, needs to be followed in assignment of this index?
Also, am I right to assume that these icons would display correctly in qvga mode only?
Is there a limit, on the maximum number of icons that can be placed on the homeplug?
Thanks for the knowledge you guys have, our device is easier to use .

The meanings of the elements are pretty simple:
LaunchApPath = which file to start
ResPath = which file to get the icon from
iconindex = number of the icon in the file of ResPath
The file htcicon.dll contains lots of icons in different sizes. For me the 24x24 icon at position 110 works best. Try it for yourself, you can't destroy anything. The iconindex effects the shown icon only.
how does one know where to find the icon files? for example, i've created a spot for PHM Reg Edit in my HTC toolbar and it launches fine, but how do I know where to find the correct icon for it?
can someone post the cab here for HTC Homeplug ... it seems to be taken out from axel3 latest rom
thanks
Can someone tell me how to configure the HTC Home Plug? right now for me it is showing ebay, and other internet links, but i want the default ones (battery, portrait or landscape, etc).

Use an icon viewer. A good freeware is Irfan View (http://www.irfanview.com/). First open the program file (e. g. Memory.exe) with Irfan View and look for icons in it. Then try out DLL's (e. g. htcicon.dll). You have to do trial&error to find the correct index.
I've done the following:
1) downloaded the memory.exe file in Marcdu81's post and store it under \windows directory. (Since I could not find memory.exe in my window directory. I used total commander to search for the file, and could not locate memory.exe. Strange? My unit is a Dopod U1000)
2) Used Rviewer to look at htcicon.dll, and noted that memory's icon index is 110.
3) Created these entries using PHM Registrry Editor:
- New key with value "7"
- New Dword decimal value with value name "iconindex" and value data "110" (without quotation)
- New String value with value name "LaunchApPath" and value data "\Windows\memory.exe" (without quotation)
- New String value with value name "ResPath" and value data "\Windows\htcicon.dll" (without quotation)
I exceeded PHM Registry editor, switched off the unit for about 15 seconds, then soft reset.
However, the homeplug does not show any memory program after this.
What step did I miss out?

Did you create the key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\? Are there already six other keys in this path? If not you should change the key name to the first free number.

I created it under the correct key, but it is the eighth application that I try to put on the homeplug. I understand that you could have 8, right.? (Based on the screen capture of posting no 2)

Well, I guess so. For me (WM5, official HTC-ROM) the following content of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug works (syntax is related to registry export, you don't need two "\"):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug]

"RotateIconSlot"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\2]

Today screen radio device toggler + discover mode

update: Have added a discoverable toggle to this guy.
1 click = on, 2nd = discoverable, 3rd = off
Also changed the name to EffComm so it's all the same across the board.
Still looking into adding eyecandy.. Does anyone know a nice and simple graphics library for C++ mobile that will load PNG files with alpha channel or something similar ??
Here's a plugin we've made to toggle bluetooth/wifi/phone directly from the today screen with a single click. All comments welcome!
Installed okay on the Dopod D810 but where do I find the program to actually run it or enable it in Settings > Today > Items??
hmm.. yes it should be in there. I think it's listed as "EffComm" in there (something else that needs to be fixed!)
cool mate, works perfectly.
Some eyecandy please.
it works perfect on my Eten Glofiish X500 on WM6 as well.
It works great on my HTC TyTN. You know what would make this the best today plugging if you could control 3G on\off.
congratz, will recommend this on other forums, personally i prefer wm5newmenu's submenu with vijay555's soft like vjvolubilis, vjbluetoggle, vjphonetoggle etc... but your plug is neat
maybe it is possible to add all things from commgr? heh, it would be NICE.
works on wm06 wizard.
btw, could you align "phone:ON/off" position to the right? this free space for "f" is hm, ugly.
Was in search of a plugin like this. Awesome
Works fine in Uni (O2 Exec, Jasjar, etc.). Simple & effective! Thanks.

I have the same entry appearing under Settings > Remove programs but still nothing everywhere else.
But this time, I have \Storage Card\Program Files\Today Radio Device Toggler\EffComm.dll
Also, still nothing under Programs, either under 'Effcom' or 'Today Radio...'

one comment
I would like to have bluetooth turn on in discovery mode.
Is it possible?
most likely I turn on bluetooth only when my friends send me somethin.
If I send files via bluetooth, i can do it with activate bt first
SS for those who would like to see it:
good, minimal plug imo.

Can you check your program files folder and see if "Today readio device..." is in there and also if there is an entry in your registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\Effcomm ?
What OS are you running ?

WM6.5 Settings Menu structure

Hi everybody,
I've asked in other forums, but with no answer , maybe here... .
How to change structure of Settings Menu in WM6.5? I want to move "Today", "Clock & Alarms", "Bluetooth" etc into folders (Personal, System, Connections):
Screenshot is from polish WM6.5:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Or where in WM6.5 I can find the Settings structure? I can find it neither in registry nor in files in /Windows folder .
Sorry for my English

...hope this helps:
1. Open registry using any registry editor
2. everything is in HKLM/Control Panel
3. Select the setting you want to move,
let say you want to move Clock & Alarms to Personal setting,
go to HKLM/Control Panel/Clock,
under Clock, change the value Group to 0
4. Repeat step 3 for other settings you want to move
Here are the values of Group
0 = Personal
1 = System
2 = Connections
Perfect
Thank You, bajok!. It Works!
By the way, it's amazing: Poland - Philippines, half an hour, and the problem is solved...
Thanks! See you

BTW, to move a control panel to the top level, use a value of "-1" (0xffffffff in hex).
I do have another question about this...
Not all Control Panels are defined in the HKLM\ControlPanel registry key. For example, you can add a regular program to the Settings by putting a link to that program in \Windows\Start Menu\Settings. So, how do you move that program to one of the other Settings groups?
As far as I can tell, anything that's in the Start Menu\Settings folder goes in the "System" tab of Settings. Is there a way to move it to Personal or Connections?
Furthermore, there are other Control Panels, mostly 3rd party software, that are also not defined in the registry. Any control panel with a .cpl extension in the \Windows folder will ALSO go in the System tab. I'm trying to figure out how to move them as well.
Finally, does anyone know how to define a new icon for these Control Panels? If a control panel is defined in the HKLM\ControlPanel registry key, you can, in general, create a corresponding link in HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings and add the icon to the Control Panel's key. But, if it's NOT already in the ControlPanel key, does anyone know how to add it to the Start key? I don't know how you're supposed to define it in the first place.
I've looked all over the web for any of the above information, but, so far, I've been stymied! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Based on the name of this thread, I think you'll have to create a different one! Seriously, while the basic structure is the same, there are enough differences to warrant a different discussion.
For example, WM6.5 uses an entire registry tree to define icons, while WM6 and earlier use the icon.lnk method. There's absolutely no overlap there, although I suspect the structure of the Control Panel tree is the same.

[HOWTO] Enable Landscape on Mega (Touch 2)

Enable Landscape:
1. Use a regedit and head to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation\" and open "HideOrientationUI".
2. Change "Value Data" to "0" from "1".
3. PowerOff and PowerOn again your Phone.
Set Landscape to "Answer" button:
1. Go to "Start/Settings/Personal Folder" and run "Buttons".
2. In "Program Buttons" tab at "2. Assign a program" select "<Rotate Screen>" and you are done.
After these, every time that you hold the "answer" button screen will rotate from portrait to Landscape and vice versa…
Additional Parameter for Landscape (thnx to "alex_lynx"):
1. Head to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation\" and open "LandscapeMode".
2. Change "Value Data" to "1". Turn screen to left (Default is "4" = Turn screen to right).

You must use registry editor.
or Advanced Configuration Tool app
It is mean that I need to install registry editor into phone? Where can I get the application?
Yes. You chave to install registry editor or advanced config in your phone.
I think uncle google will help find them.
advanced configuration tool:

totalcmd can edit registry:

After i couldnt install the Configuration Tool i found a App as CAB and edited the Registry and it worked.
Im german and my mistake was to search for "rotate" that was not in the menü.. When i scrolled up there was a "rotate Screen" in german and then it worked.
to access your windows mobile registry you can use CEregistryEditor by mdsoft.pl instead, it runs from your PC via the USB / MS activesync, so you can use your keyboard and big TFT screen to search and edit, make bookmarks, do comparing, backup,softreset,etc
I using CEregistryEditor, but it error cannot over write value data. What should I do?

Use other RegEditor.
I recomend Schap's Registry Editor or PHM Registry Editor.
This was one of the main issues of the phone.
I have a question, does it work with the keyboard as well?
Can you write in landscape, on a bigger withed keyboard?
