How to get rid of: stk_uippc.exe (Fun & Info) - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

When I open Programs I always have an shortcut named: "Fun & Info".
I know it's a shortcut to the file: stk_uippc.exe
Is there any way to get rid of this icon? I don't mind that the file keeps existing in the Windows directory.
I tried delete the shortcut but it keeps coming back after a soft reset.

Think I've found it myself, but I wanted to share it with my fellow forum members
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\STK_Service]
"Keep"=dword:00000001
Changed to:
"Keep"=dword:00000000
That's all!

Thanks for the info, but after changing it in the registry my phone starts up very slow than before. It takes about 2,5 times longer, about 4 minutes. (After I shut it down and switch it on again, or when using a soft reset)
If I change it back again in the registry to "1" (Decimal) my phone starts up at normal speed..... (about 1,5 minutes)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

On WM6 I've noticed that it doesn't change no matter what value I set in the regsitry.
I've tested it and it works perfect for me:
Just delete the complete "STK_Service" key. After this I soft reset my phone. Make sure you have removed the STK Shortcut of course
If you want to restore the key I suggest you export the key before deleting it!

Thanks for the fast reply. Just tried and it works.
Btw, do you know how to get Fring working with Orange world / proxy?
I can't get past the initial registration due to the message: internet connection is not available.
I can use IE and browse the internet with no problems.
Sorry if it's not the right topic to post the question.

Indeed a bit off topic.. ..try searching the forum
TIP:

SEARCH TERM site:http://forum.xda-developers.com
Works much better than the build in search.

BT Icon?

I search the link who launch the icon of BT on the botton right. I lost the icon and I don't want make an hard reset whith reinstall for retreive it.
Thank's
hope this help
try this:
There is a workaround for this problem.
It's not pretty, it requires hacking the registry, but it works.
I found it at http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthr...7403#post397403, but had to make a slight adjustment.
I assume that you know
- How to install form a CAB file
- How to create and edit a shortcut on your Pocket PC
- How to edit the registry on your Pocket PC
Ready? Here we go:
1) Download NoPluginsToday (you'll most likely want the ARM version) from http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
2) Install the CAB somewhere. Make sure you know the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe)
3) Create a shortcut to NoPluginsToday.exe in \Windows\Startup. Name this shortcut ZzzNoPluginsToday, so that it is last in the list of shortcuts to be launched.
4) Start a registry editor, and go to HKLM\init. Look for keys named LaunchXX. You'll want to create a new String key named LaunchYY, where YY is a bigger number than any of the XX you found. I created Launch99. The value for LaunchYY is the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe) you looked up earlier.
Now you're set! Do a soft reset, and see your Bluetooth icon again! You'll notice your startup time may be a little longer.
How does it work?
The BT icon disappears because of a timeout issue when loading plugins.
We solve this by using NoPluginsToday, which switches all Today plugins off, remembers the settings, and reactivates them the next time it is executed.
By calling NoPluginsToday twice, once via the registry (early) and then again via \Windows\Startup (late), we "postpone" the loading of Today plugins until after the BT icon has been activated. That's your longer startup time for you.
Hope this helps!

wifi buttom stoped working?

the button thats on the upper left side of the 8125 isn;t working anymore!?
when i press it, nothing happens, it normally brings up an option to let me enable or diable stuff. wtf is going on?
thanks
PS. i installed AE Button Plus, but i didn't know how to edit my buttons and removed it, so i think installig it removed that wifi button.
i need help! thanks
came someone help? i really want to restore this badly, i hate pulling out the stylus to enable my wifi and blue etc... (i have big fingers, i can't press the little icon on the lower right hand corner)
that button bought me straight to the menu.
i don't know what the butto is called, but it's located on the left side, and its on the the upper left.
thanks!
Hi, yes its called the comm button - button 5.
Try - goto settings\buttons and see if you can reassign button 5 to comm.
If button 5 has dissappeared from the list then ae button plus has screwed it up - like it did for me and I had to hard reset - darn!
pwwwha! nooooooooooooo!
hard reset!???
is there anyway i can hard reset, and still restore all my progs and info etc...
thanks
I am not saying you have to do a hard reset - try the other advice first.
There is possibly a registry tweak to correct it - but i dont know it. If you have to hard reset this advice will make it easier.
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information. After flash change the new pim.vol to pim.vo and copy and paste old pim.vol (use total commander or gsfinder file explorers for this) and soft reset and you will have info back.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.
Found the registry key - if you can check this - HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\keys\40C6
40C6 is button 5 and if not there needs to be added. There are a few dwords that will need to be added as well if deleted.
thanks! i found it, but how would i add it? thanks in advance!
woo hoo! i got it to work! thanks!
do u know any other keys?
i want the volume up and down to be D left and right.

Is it possible to deactivate the sim contacts??

Hi,
is there any option or tool to deactivate the sim contacts?
I know there is a registry key for this, i changed it but if i write a sms and add the recipient all contacts are showing (sim and phone).
I hope somebody can help me - i don't want to delete all contacts on my sim card.

it wont stay after a reset. (soft)
i got so tired of the sim contacts that i deleted all the sim contacts. Just back up your HD with a good backup program. I do that every day. YOU need that especially if you mess with the registry and stuff. You can always get them back by saving all of them back to SIM. ITS EASY!!!!!!!! AT LEAST, no sim contacts are showing now...its great.
Why don't you use the search button?
There is a good thread and a problem solving cab still around.
You can also use the Advanced Configuration Tools. Under Phone, there is an option to show SIM card contact. Set it to no and soft reset.
You're not the only one who says that after soft reset it comes back. Try to switch off the device, wait for 20 seconds before soft reseting to ensure that the registry changes stick.

Tired it.
Didn't work for me.
After 3 minutes (just to be sure that 20 secs have passed) when powering it on, Advanced Config still has them on yes.
sims back

do you have this working on your HD?? just curious...it doesnt work on anyone elses.
I have exactly the same problem : none of the solutions (registry edit, Advanced Configuration Tools or th CAB "SIM fix" file) works : SIM contacts are back after every soft-reset/power off.
just put the file under No. 9 (yJay.HideSim) in your autostart folder
http://translate.google.com/transla...tricks-tweaks.html&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=de&tl=en
its not working! looks like that the exe wont started from the autostart folder. When i start it manually I get rid of the sim contacts...
Very quick question, but if I want to solve this by deleting contacts from the sim, where in autosynch can I save contacts to my p.c.? I can't see it, do I have to use outlook to achieve this?
I end up with no contacts on my sim. It's risky couse I got no backup. I simply do know how to do it. Any sugestions, please ....
Anyone foud a good solution, so we can keep contacts on sim as well as in device memory yet ?

Use PIM Backup. It's the best and free.
I found a (workaround) solution that may help you deactivate SIM contacts from showing in your list without the need of deleting them.
First of all, I found this trick when tried to use Gyrator2 application, which seems to fail during reset/start of the device. It is called DelayedExec and it is using for a delayed start of any application you want.
For example, you can set "yJay.HideSim.exe" to start with a delay of 90 seconds after starting up your device. Just a put a shortcut in your Windows\StartUp folder with the following syntax:
"\Windows\delayedExec.exe" 90 "\Windows\yJayHideSim.exe"
Of course you need to copy those 2 exes in Windows folder (or anywhere else) and edit the paths if needed. Also you can use another program like MortScript to do this task.
90 seconds should be enough time to write your SIM PIN (if you have one) so that the sim contacts will be loaded and the delayed application will hide them.
Thanks. This is not necessary anymore. You can use the updated version:
http://translate.google.com/transla...-2.html#post268722&sl=de&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8
Just copy yJay.HiseSIM to your device, make a shortcut to \Windows\AutoStart / StartUp
Ok i finally got it !!!!!!
I've tried all simfix but it never worked for me.
It seems that the contact fix works only if have installed just few apps. But if you've got a lot of app launching at the start of the HD it wil not work.
So take the kaisersimfix one for exemple. Install it. Remove the KaiserContactsSimFix.Lnk from the \windows\startup (\windows\demarrer for froggies ) cos it launch itself too fast and the registry key modified by the kaiser fix will return to 1 (showsim) by i don't which app .
Take PHM regedit and go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Apps
Create a new Key with the name you want (for exemple SimFix) with the value name "module" and value name with the exe and his FULL path of the fix you have chosen (for exemple kaiser one: \Program Files\KaiserSimFix\KaiserContactsSimFix.exe).
Add another value name "sleep" with "the value data" 8000 (in decimal or 1f40 in Hex).
And TADA that done Folks !!!!!!

hi people, i would like to know what cab do i need to make this menus much smaller? i've found it before.... but i never downloaded it, thanks
You can use Advanced Config to reduce the font size in the menus.
thank you very much
But... I tried it and everytime i change the values, it auto resets when i restart... I'm using spb mobileshell by the way !
Really...strange. I've used spb and it has never fudged with those reg values.
When I changed the values in Advanced Config, I needed to soft reset before the changes would be applied anyway.
You can create a shortcut that applies the reg settings and put it in the Windows\Startup folder. Still that kind of hack should not be necessary. Perhaps you have some other program in Startup that is causing the problem.
you gave me the idea and i just tried... putting the folder on C:
and then i changed the values with the keyboard, it reseted... and stayed that way for a lonnggg time until i took out the battery and turn it on again
then I changed the value by holding the down button and then selected other stuffs and restarted and now it's ok
Thank you very much !!
Uhm...glad I could help, I think,
they should be a setting in the setup to do that.
Go to google, type in "htc small menu", click on the VERY first link you see. Brings you to a thread here at xda.
That's what you were talking about right?
If so then you're welcome .
Also: If you want to easily and fully customize the font for everything on the phone (size and font type), look into downloading something called ING Change Font.

HD2 crashes at soft reset after registry tweak has been done.

It happens every time I did a soft reset after applied some sweet (didn't get the chance to feel...) Tips and Tricks on registry tools (Resco Registry Editor btw...).

alright. After did the tweaks with Resco Registry Editor. You have to soft reset them in order to take effect right? I did just that and just right after phone trying to load HTC sense, it doesn't make it through. the only button I can press was contact, phone, battery icon, signal icon. that's it. Not even the START button works. Message appeared on the screen was "Unable to locate "poutlook"...."
Oh one more thing. Do we need to wait for several minutes after we've done the registry tweaks before soft reset, ? will this prevent from
