Can't change registry - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi, when I change my registry and then do a softreset the changes are back to the original values. I try to change some settings to speed up my device, the screen and transfer to the sd-card.
I use both Total Commander and PHM RegistryEditor.
I can do the changes but after the softreset everything is changed back to the original value.

Do you exit PHM RegEdit by the menu, Tools -> Exit?

No I exit by clicking on the X.
But it's OK now: I waited a little longer before I did the softreset. Maybe there's a sort of backup mechanism which takes a while to update?

Change T-Mobile Dialer skin

I have a T-Mobile Vario that have a dialer T-Mobile skin. Can I change this skin to default WM5 dialer (blue)?
Thanks
Yep I want to do this as well the T mobile dialer skin is well poo realy had no probs on my XDA II
Try searching 'dialer skin' in search.
Thats how I found WM5 dialer skin for my JAM.
Good luck 8)
Tried that with No luck
1. Using a registry editor - edit the following registry entry: 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'.
2. The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be '1' for the T-Mobile skin or '0' for the default WM5 skin. You will probably find a '1' in your t-mobile device and '0' if you have an I-Mate or QTEK
3. Change the value of the above so that that you get: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0'
4. Soft Reset and you should see the defaul WM5 dialer.
5. In the background of the dialer you will probably see a small faded T-Mobile logo. If this irritates you - you can get rid of it too by:
6. Download the following file:
http://members.home.nl/pieterstroink/GoT_startpost/K-JAM/carrierlogo.gif
carrierlogo.gif (right click, save as)
7. Do not change the name of the file, it must remain carrierlogo(.gif)
8. Find the original carrierlogo.gif file on your MDA Vario - it should be in the windows directory. Overwrite this file with the file that you have just downloaded.
9. Soft reset
10 Done
T-Mobile dialer OUT
Thanks Lisa... work!
Thanks for this...

Smartdialler??
Hello,
Now, I haven't SmartDialer/interllidialer!!!
I don't know if was after this change or after delete Extended_ROM2 files; but I have .CAB files and not any smartdialer CAB (only smart dialer enabler)!
Can somebody help? Or send this CAB file?
Thanks
The blank carrier logo worked, but the DWORD value still keeps resetting itself to "1" again after a soft reset...
What am I doing wrong?
[EDIT] Oh well..... somehow the phonepad changed and when I look up my registry the value now is (and stays) at "0".
Don't ask me how or what.... but it's fine now. :wink:
Last question: does anyone know how to erase/change the T-Mobile boot screen (when you do a soft reset)?
THNX.
SmartDialer
Well... it is true... if change registry value 1 to 0 put WM5 skin, but SmartDialer don't work.
If change again 0 to 1 smartdialer work (and dialer too) but with T-Mobile skin... that is not beauty!
Somebody know how put Dialer and SmartDialer WM5 skins at T-Mobile Vario?
Thanks

Can't overwrite carrierlogo.gif
I can change to dialer skin fine with the registry key, but I can't overwrite the T-mobile carrierlogo.gif - it is always write-protected. How can I make it stop being read-only, so I don't get 'access denied' when attempting rename/delete?
Maybe put phone at Flight mode that off communications...

many thanks
Well I tried changing the value DWORD value from 1 to 0 but I just get a access denied message, any help?

I had the same problem when copying files from the PC to the phone so I copied them in a temporary folder on the phone and then used the total commander (free) on the phone to move/copy files to the desired destination. There is a warning message of overwriting, but it worked for me
good luck
I use PHM Regedit to set KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0'. I had the same problem with Enabled =0 changing back to 1. what I did was to backup the registry before doing a soft reset.
Changing the carrierlogo.gif, if you use Total Commander or GSFinder go to options and make sure the Rom files are hidden otherwise you are trying to overwrite carrierlogo.gif in the Rom.
Removing TMO phone skin is easy:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enable=1
Remove DIALER a PROGRESS entries under the Skin entry.
But if you modify these entries in some registry app, after soft reset they will be back, so best way is do it during instalation phase. I've created a few cabs for:
enable phone skin
disbale phone skin
remove skin registry entries and changing smart dialer skin to blue.
Changing Phone pad to qtek's one.
If would some want i can attach them here or upload them to the ftp.

Can't write to Windows or save Registry Changes

Hi All,
I'm trying to make some registry changes on the Mogul and when I save the changes all is ok until I soft boot and then they go back to their default values. How can I prevent this?
I am also trying to save a file in the \Windows directory and it's giving me an access is denied message, how do I unlock this directory?
Thanks,
X2K
Which registry editor are you using?
Try using Resco explorer and registry editor pluggin:
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/
I hope it helps.
I'm using PHM Regedit
Which registry key(s) are you trying to edit? Some keys don't get saved or get reset no matter what upon reboot.
Try this:
In [HKLM\System\ObjectStore] is a reg key "RegistryType=1", which means Hive based registry.
When you set it to "RegistryType=0", which means FILE based registry, all changes you do in the registry will stay there also if you reboot with device's reset button...
BUT AFTER YOU CHANGE THIS VALUE, FIRST REBOOT HAS TO BE DONE WITH SOME SOFTWARE, NOT WITH THE RESET BUTTON.
Subsequent reboots can be done with reset button then.

Great tip, even after a year since you posted it . Couldn't get rid of the default t-mobile -MDA Vario III aka kaiser- settings (PIE homepage e.g.), but you helped me out on this one
Hello all. I have tried to make the registry change (In [HKLM\System\ObjectStore] "RegistryType=1") to "RegistryType=0" mentioned above. That worked fine but I still can't save a change I'm trying to make. I bought MS Voice Command and was told to change the [HKLM\Software\OEM\Voicecommand path to \Program Files\MS Voice Command\voicecmd.exe. I can't seem to save the change. I have used several different registry editors including PHM, Resco and CeRegEditor. The displayed path (\Windows\SDDialer.exe) will not update. I'm using a Verizon XV6800 with WM 6.1 and the Verizon MR-1 update. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

After Reboot my hidden sim contacts appears again

Hi to all
To hide my Sim Contacts from Addressbook I used the PHM Registry Editor (0.70) and modified the Valuename ShowSIM to 0. It works great no SIM Contacts in Addressbook, until i reboot (turn off, tunr on) my Device. After the Reboot the ShowSIM Value is changed automatically to 1 and all my SIM Contacts appears again
Does anybody know how to constant modify this registry Key?
Kind Regards Daniel
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...

How to enable SMS Wake Up Event

If you are annoyed by the fact that your Iolite does not turn on when a new sms arrives try this. Set the DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 0. You can find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL .
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
???
Excuse me, can you explain that to me step by step? What program do i need and how can i locate those dirs and files... Tanks...

Click to collapse
U need a registry-editor like FDC TaskManager or TotalCommander (registry-plugin - all it´s freeware)
Now you can search the entry like in Explorer
(Doubleklick on HKLM -> Drivers -> Builtin -> RIL -> DisableSMSWakeUpEvent -> then set to 0)
Greetings Mirko
Very nice )
Just used this again after a hard reset

Can't Delete a Reg Key

Very strange... I wanted to add Destinator in the HKLM\Software\HTC\Smatouch, to make it work with the zoombar. I did it via Advanced Config 3.3 -> Menu -> More Settings -> Smartouch, and it did create the relevant Key and values. Unfortunately, Destinator declined to co-operate with zoombar (either as scroll or zoom), so I decided to remove the key.
However when I tried to delete it from Advanced Config, it stayed there. I went to the SKTools registry editor, but although I deleted the values (WheelCount, etc.), the key could not be deleted. I tried a couple of other editors without success.
How can I delete this key? Is there a way to export the registry, modify it in the desktop PC, and then import it back to the TD2?
SOLVED!!!! Solution: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?lang=en
I have a similar problem.
I've installed Opera 9.7 and tried with Advanced Configuration Tool to make the new Opera rotate.
Now I cannot delete the registry keys that Advanced Configuration Tool has made.
I've also tried Total Commander, PHM Registry Editor and CeRegEditor but those keys cannot be deleted.
It seems those Opera keys are now protected by the OS.
Any solution?
Just read my post above. The solution is in the link I mention...
I've tried CeRegistryEditor and still couldn't delete it.
I can create new keys and delete them with CeRegistryEditor, but I cannot delete those Opera keys.
I've also tried the option "Tools>Unlock registry" as the website says but the problem is not the registry access but those specific Opera reg keys.
