help! how can i configure the GPS in BA running in WM5? do i need some sort of application for that to run? Thnx!!
Hi - this is a wizard forum, you may be better posting this question in the blue angel forum.
however to add GPS settings icon
If you have a GPS device, you can add a GPS settings icon to your Start > Settings menu using:
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\redirect <-- delete, or rename, this value
or if that key is not present use
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings DWORD "hide" change value from 1 to 0
thnx but i already got the GPS in my BA and i just dont know how to make use of it. anyway ill post this question with BA. thnx
I technically know how to add icons to the htchomeplug i just don't know how to change the icon
hklm\software\htc\htchomplug\*add new key*
my problem is the iconindex number, which seems to control the icon. when i change it to a different number the icon disappears but if you click over the area where the icon was the program will still launch.
You can use RViewer (google it, don't remember where I found it), or just go with 0.
This is mentioned in the "original post" on the HTChomeplug modifications.
thanks for the help
HTC HOMEPLUG
First is access using the registry editor to this entry:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/HTCHomeplug
There is the configuration of the plugin. There we will find two entries pointing to the first two icons (Battery and Rotation) that seems to be configured in a different way that the rest of the icons. Those are the two DWORD entries:
PowerIconSlot with value of 0 (this means the first position in the plugin)
RotateIconSlot with value of 1 (this means the second position)
The rest of the positions in the HTCHomeplug appears like KEY entries with names from 2 to 5 meaning positions 3 to 6 in the plugin bar.
Inside each key (2 to 5) we find 3 values (or entries):
1- iconindex DWORD type of Decimal which contains 103 in the case of entry KEY 2
** I used a program called RViewer (for PPC) develop by Vicott Wong to find the iconindex**
2- LaunchApPath STRING contains the path to the executable file associated to the icon
3- ResPath STRING contais the path to the resource file which contais the icon image poited by iconindex entry. This path points to a DLL or EXE file containing the icon image.
So... since we want to add a icon/application we need to create the entry KEY 6 and we must create both STRING entries and DWORD one inside the KEY 6.
To add Tomtom Navigator in the HTCHomeplug (as an example) I added:
iconindex = 101
LaunchApPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
ResPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
So I'm using the icon storaged in the Tomtom Navigator executable file itself and my Tomtom is in the path I show in the entry. Off course this could not match your installation.
Im trying to find a good phone icon!
I havent found ANY simple phone icon in any resource yet.
Does anybody have a filename/index for a phone icon? Or even an exe/dll with a good phone icon I can use?

Hi Guys,
What do you think are the best registry edits on the TD2 and what do they do?
I have been looking through the old ones for the TD1 and i have been changing thinks like the GPS enable on the camera ETC.
Any good suggestions you might have to improve the TD2 experience would be gratefully appreciated
yah.like a compilation of regedits would be great along with its description
the only one I know if PHM regedit, it works fine with the D2
sk tools
sk tools...the best! cleanes , optimises,...the whole lot
i think he don't mean the best registry editor. He means the hack to do with the reg editor.

You're absolutely right
My bad

Dear All,
How to remove or delete the new key from PHM Registry Editor? Thank you.
Autolock
"Automatically lock your Diamond 2 (from way back in the daimond days)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked"
When I do this my device locks itself automatically after few secons even though I've set the backlight to go off after 30 seconds. Does anybody have a solution that can handle this problem?
thanks!
Code:
Manila Home softkeys:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
String HomeLSKArguments //app argument, optional
String HomeLSKPath //app path
String HomeLSKText //left softkey text
String HomeRSKArguments //same, but for key on right side
String HomeRSKPath
String HomeRSKText

You mean that after this hack Manilla will auto-rotate according to its orientation, or will it PERMANENTLY be in landscape mode?

I can't get this to work for TomTom, basically I have :
1. Add string value to HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
String: Mobile Navigator Value: \Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Audio Fix.exe
2. Add string value to HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
String: Mobile Navigator Value: TomTom Audio Fix
Not sure what is wrong here.
I think you have to add tomtom itself instead of the audio fix, because the audio fix loads the tomtom app.
[Edit] Just read the previous post, apparently I'm wrong.

I use a program called changescreen, it auto rotates by default but you can specifiy which apps you don't want to rotate. This works for TomTom + everything else. I didn't want to have to use an app to rotate, I'd rather have the phone take care of it but the rotate implementation on the D2 is pretty half-arsed. The reason I have to use this is because I'm left handed and tilt clockwise, htc in their infinite wisdom only tilts anticlockwise, for right handed people.

Dear Real187, you could put directly process name for tom tom 7... but... thanks !!!
So, the right process name in WhiteList is : MunichWinClass
need some help!!
can u ppl use PHM registry
help me to see
Under HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start
what is the name named as for file explore and Activesync
I accident click it and not able to undo back :/
I have no "name" entry - I have Icon and Rank for them. Are these what you're after?
no i sure there is a name
named as
file explore or
Activesync
just wonder did i spell it correct.
I have keys for:
ActiveSync.lnk
with values for:
Default: Value not set
Icon: \Windows\Start_Icon_Async.png
Rank: 900000768
File Explorer.lnk
with values for:
Default: Value not set
Icon: \Windows\Start_Icon_FileExp.png
Rank: 90000078 (Dec)
I uploaded the .reg for Activesync
Download, rename .txt to .reg copy to your device and import
Cool thanks.
to check is the file explorer
rank: 899998638 ??
Actually it can be anything! The rank value is what decides where the icon will appear on the start menu in relation to all the others. The higher the value the higher up the screen.
If you set it to 1 it will be at the bottom of the screen, if you set it to fffffffff it will be at the top! So it doesn't have to be the same on all devices.
I'm having trouble with the bluetooth connection with my Audi A4 (brand new): frequently (at least once per trip) the connection is lost even though most of the time I can restart it manually.
I've read the whole "Bluetooth Car Connectrion" thread (can't post links - forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583570) and tried all the solutions that are proposed, but without success until now...
Do you know if there is a specific problem (and solution) with the HD Mini and/or with the Audi A4?
FYI the solutions I tried:
1. Modify the HandsFree plug-in:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree
i. Change SupportedFeatures to 1085 (changes to 1081 after reset and I cannot terminate any call with this value!!)
ii. Add value HFBDA binary, set to same value as LastConnectedBda
iii. Add value HFDeviceType DWORD decimal 2
2. Modify the WIDCOMM bluetooth general settings:
HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\General
i. Change bdaddr to (no value)
ii. Change DisableReopenAudio to 0 (default is 1)
3. Change Registry setting to your HD2\Leo phone:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Sys
Add new DWORD setting called "COD" with decimal value "5374476" (Don't add the quotes).
This makes devices see the HD2 as a 'Normal' phone.
4. Navigate to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Click "Values" soft-key
Change "00001001" value to 1 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 2)
Change "00001005" value to 40 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 16)
The only thing I haven't tried so far is to use jetware mobile. Do you think it's a working solution?
Thanks!
