Another registry edit question - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

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

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

One question about registry

Good day for everybody!
Maybe you know such a wonderful software Tweaks2K2. Using it I can set one interesting thing - in the 'Internet Tricks' in the 'Inbox' tab there is one check-box - 'Forse SSL Off'.
Maybe you know exactly what changings in Window's registry makes this check-box? In other words - I want to make the same changing in Window's registry without using Tweaks2K2.
Thank you! And kind regards to this great Forum!
Make all registry export before you change 'Forse SSL Off' & after it, then compare both files on PC. Find out & tell to us where!!!
Nice reply! ;-)
But something tells me that I don't want to make any Hard Reset, because I have done all settings using Tweaks2K2. I only want to know what did it change!
Maybe you can make the procedure you've mentioned and make all of us happy?? ;-)
Nick2001, it's written right there in front of you.
HKLM>Software>Microsoft>Inbox> ForceOffSSL (Bool Dword)
V
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox]
"ForceOffSSL"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox]
"ForceOffSSL"=dword:00000001
I did with total commander compare files, my recipe above
Thank you!

My first Performance Registry Tweaks CAB file

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\GWE\Menu]
"AntiType"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"="16384"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\StorageManager\FATFS]
"CacheSize"=dword:00001000
"EnableCache"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt]
"ReplStoreCacheSize"=dword:00004096
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders]
"Cache"="\Storage Card\\Temporary Internet Files"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keyb]
"EnableIndicator"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]
"OffOnRotation"="0"
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSDeliveryNotify"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar]
"ShowLunarCalendar"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE]
"cxVScr"=dword:00000009
"cyHScr"=dword:00000009
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex]
"IsEnabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items"\Agenda"]
"Flags"=dword:00000005
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"]
"Flags"=dword:00000005
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
Regards,
Molski
thx,
can be usefull after upgrade or hard reset
CIAO!

Thanks molski! I think you've got a few more tweaks included than the CommonSpeedRegHacks I was previously using.
Great job!

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!

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"

A registry trick to share. WM5

Hi everibody!
I opened a thread a few months ago, complaining about the limit MS impossed on the length of the notes field in the new Contact app in WM5.
After a lot of FAQ, even going to MS blogs, I almost quit trying to fix the thing, I was told it was done on behalf of a better performance.
Then I do it the XDA-developers way! I research myself within the registry.
So here are my findings to whom it may interest.
Get a Registry editor, and under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/ActiveSync locate the key named BodyTruncation. It's set by default to 5140. I assume this is the maximum lengt available in characters for the total content of a given Contact.
Change that to a greater value, and You're done! No more data lost!
The only indication you had was the text inserted "graciously" by MS people at the end of the notes field, where (if you get there in your PDA) that say your data will be gone if you change a single character in your PDA, then deleting back in your PC the rest of the data without warning.
I know it only afects a few of us with lengthy contacts data, but loosing data is something no one is willing to afford, isn't?
Hope it helps.
Nice find Looking Glass!!!
Thanks!

Titanium Plugin Development (API?)

Hi all, I seem to be having trouble finding any sort of documentation on how to develop Titanium Plugins for the WM6.5 home screen... Is there any information out there that someone could point me to? My plan is to use Visual Studio 2008 (3.5 .Net) if that makes any difference... Thanks for any help.
Well it's all about interaction with registry. You could also use mortscript. even tho Visual Studio can do it too. You just need to write the needed keys to the registry, and point to them in your .cpr file.

Thanks for the pointers... and as far as official documentation goes, it doesn't seem that forth coming... btw, I can't view blauze space either.
I was trying to figure out a similar thing.
I manually added a panel to Titanium called "Battery". What I wanted was a little tool that put the latest battery charge percentage as the panel name.
After a bit of digging I realised the following code kind of works:
Code:
Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Page1", True)
key.SetValue("TEXT1", Status.SystemState.GetValue(Status.SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength) & "%")
key.Close()
It does successfully change the name of the first page of the panel to the latest battery charge.
Only problem now is, I can't figure out how to get Titanium to refresh... in other words, how to get it to re-read the registry keys. At the moment, it only works by soft-resetting the phone!

Simply change "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Updated" from its current value to another.
Has anyone figured out a way to do a registry update or execute a script when a panel/page is selected in Titanium without having to "click" it to update?
Here's what I'd like to do... let's say I have a Twitter panel that retrieves my unread tweets every NN minutes. Sliding left/right switches between the tweets, but as I slide onto a tweet, I want to mark it from UnRead to Read in a registry setting. I currently can "click" it to update the status to Read, but havn't found anyway to do it otherwise.
I asked this awhile ago, the thread sat and went stale with no responses. Just wondering if someone ran across a new trick.
-Daryel
Okay, I have no ability to create panels and such, However I have 2 ideas for panels. One, the BAF Gps Toggle panel and a notes panel where a new page is created for each note (similar to taskanium) Anyone think they could do these?? Attached is the .cab for the GPS toggle if needed.

PROBLEM with DATE AND TIME on PHOTOS

yes i did asked about it but i haven't got any solution so i am asking here , i called my carrier and they didn't have any solutions to my problem , its so frustrating
i'd be asking for a replacement then, unless it isn't that big of a deal to you. I don't think I even have date and time enabled on my pics.
How do you do it?
have you tried turning the timestamp off in camera settings?
YES

yes , i did it , but i want the time stamp on my pictures .
my (wild) guess is that maybe somewhere in registry there are two independent entries responsible for putting date on a photo, and both marked 'on'
so if you have time and patience, you could, try to dig a bit in following keys:
HKCU\Software\Camera,
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera
HLKM\Software\Camera
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\Camera
HKLM\System\Pictures\Camera
tried myself a little, but did not manage to replicate your problem...
or mayb just contact HTC web support?

I would like to to help me on how i do what you suggested me
first I'd definitely recommend contacting HTC support here, because it is the easiest and fastest thing you could do
secondly - did you try to reflash your ROM? it may or may not help, depending on whether your problem is of hardware of software nature (don't know how is the timestamp imposed on the photo, but my bet goes to software)
- word of caution here - backup system before re-flashing or you will loose all data (see below for app list)
thirdly - toying with registry - by far the most painful/timeconsuming/frustrating way:
invest in good backup app and make full system backup before doing anything in registry,
available solutions: SPB Backup, Sprite Backup or Resco Backup - all commercial; there may be some freeware apps available of which I am not aware though
get some registry editor: CeRegEditor or TotalCmd, Dotfred's TaskMgr (all free), or Resco Explorer (commercial),
thus armed browse your registry (only the keys I listed earlier) looking for entries which names seem to be timestamp-related
when you stumble upon suspicious/promising entry try changing its value (e.g. from 1 to 0 or else) -> soft reset -> check if it worked -> rinse, repeat
if you happen to crash your system - restore it from backup, and start again
I hope the 3rd option does not look too scary, in fact it could be finished in few hours max (whether successfully or not is another story)
Thank you for you're help

I see now, that somehow the first line of my rather lengthy post dispappeared...
maybe it's obvious, but I meant to list those 3 bullets as alternatives, i.e. you don't need to dig in registry if reflashing ROM helps,
and consequently no need to reflash ROM if HTC support provides some solution
