Im sure there is a very simple way to fix these issues im having, but I havent found the application to do so yet, so im in need of some help.
I just performed a hard-reset on my t-mobile mda to the new rom update. Since then my contact list is showing my sim contacts, and the contacts in the actual phone (which is a copy of the sim contacts); and i'd like for the list to show only the phones contacts. Also any theme I download doesnt seem to work. i usually get them from littlethemes.com and they are .tsk files. I had a few working before the update. I had a similar program to tweaks2k2; basically a compilation of different registry tweaks, except it was a free version. if anyone can help me to find the app. and/or fixing any of these issue's i would def. appreciate it.
Thank you in advance
In order to hide the sim contacts get yourself a decent file explorer such as total commander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm) and make the following changes. . . .
\\ > Registry > HKCU > ControlPanel > Phone
Add the following value to it:
Key: ShowSim (dWord)
Value: 0 (decimal)
I am not sure what the problem is with your today themes. Try placing the themes in the root directory of your storage card or windows\my documents. Browse to start>settings>personal>today and see if your files are populating the list under 'appearance'
For further tweaks check the following thread - it may prove useful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259113&highlight=hide+sim+contacts

I did some searching for this, but couldn't find an answer...
Are there any tweeks, reg hacks or applications that I can use to enable files received via Bluetooth (or irda) to automatically get stored to my Storage Card?
Thanks!
Reg Change with consequences
There is one way that I know of to change the location of the Bluetooth/IRDA storage location. However, on my Universal when I made this change, there were significant delays in opening certain applications and other processes. Therefore I wrote a small app to change the location as and when I needed it, so by default it is the location on the phone.
As background, the default location is stored on the phone under Application data\volatile
This is set in the registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys\TempPath
Attached is the program, it was only written for myself to use so not very fancy at all, but does work. Unfortunately as my PPC programming experience is so minimal, I had to use the only tools I know which was VB.Net 2005 and therefore you will need the Compact .Net Framework 2 installed on your device.
Hi
Thanks for that...
I just downloaded and installed the .cab, but I can't see it in my Programs or in Program Files...
Where does this cab install it's stuff?
If I wanted to manually change the location in:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\FileSys\TempPath
... Would I just change
Code:
Application data\volatile
To
Code:
Storage Card\BT Receive
?
Thanks
D'oh!
I was looking for it in programs, not settings>system!
Hehe
Thanks a lot for this
I am trying to access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings. I have installed (regeditstg.exe) but am having diffilculties. Please could someone advise. I am trying to load the GPS onto the S200. I am trying to do the following;
1. Delete the DWORD marked Hide (if present)
2. Delete the DWORD marked Redirect (if present)
3. Add a DWORD called Group and give it a value of 2
4. Soft reset the device.
The GPS icon should then be available.

You need a registry editor. Check FreewarePPC.com
I recommend the free PHM Registry editor.
Note, that before soft resetting you must put the device in standby for 5 secs than back on to insure the changes are saved.
Thank-you for your help. I have downloaded the regester edit. I have managed to access the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings past as above. But cannot find the DWORDS and added the Group. I am having real difficulties adding the GPS to my S200 (Jamin), please feed this link to u/s more. I have tomtom and am not able to use it!!!!! How exasperating!

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
stevew
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.
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.

I downloaded and installed this but it didn't work. What did I do wrong??
tks,works well
Hi all,
Alot of flashing been going on recently, and XDA_UC is pretty handy for getting all the cabs installed back on the device, this coupled with the ability to have my email/bluetooth and various other settings imported is excellent.
But still the main slow down when installing a new rom is that once the programs are installed they still need the program specific settings adjusted. Things like entering registration info for resco and Galarm or seting up tomtom.
Is it possible to automate this part of the install process?
Export the programs' registry value to reg file and put into XDA_UC folder
Try to find them in HKLM and HKCU
thanks,
i'll be flashing another ROM over the next few days, i'll see how this works
