I figured out one reg edit...it was simple...it was the dit to stop the text message sent reminder.....
BUt now I wanted to try and put the inidcator for the caps lock and dot.....
I found the regedit, but what do I do...??? I'm lost. I'm using Mobile Registry Editor....
Thanks.
smokeyb111: what exactly do you need it to "do"?
If you've made the registry hack, just list it here for our pleasure.
What problem are you encountering exactly?
V
Well I'm just confused......
Here is what I'm told to do to get the notification symbol when I use the CAPS lock and the dot.
You need to add the following registry data:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"EnableIndicator"=dword:0x00000001
What do I do EXACTLY?
I'm using a program called Mobile Registry Editor. Can I get a step by step?
Or can someone enlighten me with a website or somethin......

im not sure how it works with Mobile Registry Editor,
but if You install Resco Explorer 2005
( _ttp://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp ) together with registry plug-in it will be pice-o-cake. Go to "Registry"-node in tree view, follow the path down the tree HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd , tap-n-hold on "Keyb" -> New -> Dword -> type in desired value 0x00000001
sometimes you have to soft-reset your device for changes to take effect.
PS: Resco explorer has 60day full functiona trial period.
How do you import/export registry values so i can change between different tweaks?? Is there any program out there?? I have Resco Explorer and Total Commander.
I am using a 8125
Any good registry editor should let you do this. I use Kilimist. SKTools also has a couple of great registry comparison tools.
V
When using Kilimist, how do you export multiple folders??
I can only do 1 folder at a time
Also, What device are you using becuause it seems to be freezing when i edit some registry values. When i press ok it just hangs.
Hi all,
This thread will contain several posts where I'll add some tips & tricks for SASHIMI. These will be tips like what registry keys to export for keeping the keys of certain programs, using Mortscript to make some advanced changes to the device, using XML-provisioning to supply wifi and e-mail settings, and some default registry keys I use and others may provide. Please let me reserve the first threads for each of the before mentioned tips & tricks
For downloading SASHIMI and instructions (video & readme!), please refer to Bengalih's original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
Please do not use this thread for any questions or responses. Only use the Sashimi thread!
If you provide tips, please use the code tags, [ code ] and ending with [ /code ], around your registry keys and Mortscript Code...
Regards,
Nika.
Application registration keys
Thanks to Moe558 (see this post), here's some keys for saving registration information of many tools:
WebIS Pocket Informant 8
WebIS FlexMail
WebIS Toolbox
SBSH Pocket Weather
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB WALLET
SPB Traveller
SPB FINANCE
SPB PHONE SUITE
SPB POCKET PLUS
SPB MATCHES
SPB MINE SWEEPER II
SPB QUADRONICA
SKTOOLS
START MENU PROGRAMS MANAGER
All of the reg-files are in attached zip (Registration-keys-20080807.zip). Download the zip and take out the registry keys of the programs you use. Make sure to check the registry on your device (use dotFred's TaskManager) to check and replace XXXX with the key displayed in your registry (this may sometimes not be your actual registration key!). If you have more of these, let me know and I will add them to the zip (and rename it ).
Make sure to add the file to your SASHIMI\Auto\REG folder and your application will be automatically registered when hard-resetting your device !
Regards,
Nika.
Attached zip-file contains several registry files that enable automatic configuration of most of my application. Hopefully it helps you to figure out what keys to look at, and export using dotFred's TaskManager.
Please make sure you do not simply use my files as a guidline to configure your device. They're all setup to my preference and also depend on the applications you install!
The following list explains what each file does:
Associations.reg
This file contains done through KaiserTweak and AdvancedConfig to save files to my Storage Card locations instead of my device.
BackLight.reg
This contains my backlight settings.
Beejive.reg
This contains my default Beejive settings (make sure to read the section about file backup in one of my next posts!)
BlueTooth.reg
In this file I've only added the keys that I've exported to add my BlueTooth profiles (for my headset & carkit) automatically. I only have to connect once and enter the password (I think the association-keys cannot be exported, haven't been able to get it to work 100% automatically) instead of running discovery mode...
Calendar.reg
My default calendar settings (enabling the alarm icon and such).
Camera.reg
Setting the capture delay to 0, enabling 6 MP Panorama Shots and setting the correct rotation - all tweaks from KaiserTweak and Advanced Config.
CommManager.reg
I use the 6 button comm-manager and change the bottom two buttons to 3G and ActiveSync. Done using Schap's Advanced Config...
FdcSoft TaskManager.reg
Setting the registry editor as the default registered application for reg-files using this file (first 4 keys), and changing some default settings.
GPRSMonitor.reg
My default GPRS Monitor settings (turning icon off and such).
HTC TaskManager.reg
Turns off the HTC Task Manager (as I use WkTask and QuickMenu).
Internet Explorer.reg
Set my device to use Opera instead of Internet Explorer, change the cleartype setting and change the default Search URL.
Mail.reg
Change the default mail settings so attachments are stored on the Storage Card, the file sizes are correct for download messages, and for instance the account picker is off. Most settings come from the mail application, some are from Advanced Config and KaiserTweak.
Owner.reg
My Owner Information exported using SASHIMI!
Pocket Weather.reg
This is the backup of Pocket Weather, changed a little so it specifies the correct keys and can be automatically imported using dotFred's TaskManager and SASHIMI. Pocket Weather creates a file which contains the correct keys, except it misses HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the key name.
Power.reg
My default Power Settings.
QuickGPS.reg
Setting QuickGPS to auto download...
QuickMenu.reg
My default QuickMenu settings.
Regional Options.reg
My default Regional Settings.
S2U2.reg
My default S2U2 settings (for instance turning the wallpaper off).
SIP.reg
My default Secondary Input Panel (onscreen keyboard) settings.
Soft Keys.reg
Changes my Start Menu key to QuickMenu, my PTT button to the Comm Manager, longpress PTT button to VoiceCommand, my Left Softkey to the NowScreen of SPB Mobile Shell and the Right Softkey to the Menu Launcher of SPB Mobile Shell...
SP TimeSync.reg
Set SP TimeSync to automatically minimize & timesync - see also the later section of automatically loading the timesync at startup.
Spb Mobile Shell.reg
My default Mobile Shell settings (mainly weather location).
Today Items.reg
Turning on (enabled=1) and off (enabled=0) many items on my Today screen and setting the Wireless, HTC Home and SPB Mobile Shell to "movable" (Type=4) as done by KaiserTweak and Advanced Config.
Total Commander.reg
Setting my default Total Commander shortcut folders (double click the folder entry bar) and some other options.
Tweaks.reg
Many, many, tweaks gathered from programs like KaiserTweak and Advanced Config (for instance: changing default ringtone, power management settings, hsdpa on, etc.)
VoiceCommand.reg
Turning off most VoiceCommand automatic notifications.
Volume.reg
Setting my default volume.
Weather.reg
Setting my right HTC Home weather location.
WkTask.reg
Setting up the default launcher shortcuts and settings for WkTask.
Whew.....that was about it - hope it helps
Regards,
Nika.

I'll put the XML Provisioning tips in here...
I have a script (added to Auto\Scripts) that automatically loads my favorite theme (thanks to juju-35, read here):
SetStyle.mscr
Code:
Sleepmessage(3, "This script sets a new style...", "New Style", 1)
Run( "\WINDOWS\cusTSK.exe", "\WINDOWS\Nice.tsk" )
Sleepmessage(3, "Done...")
Regards,
Nika.
As mentioned above some more tips for some of the applications that I have provided default registry entries for.
JiveTalk
Add your JiveTalk.sdf to the Auto\Root folder. I have installed JiveTalk to "\Program Files\JiveTalk" and therefore I have "JiveTalk.sdf" in the "Auto\Root\Program Files\JiveTalk" folder - it then automatically copies my JiveTalk configuration.
I also have a fileset in my "filebackup.ini" that backups the current version of the file:
Code:
[FileSet1]
FileBackupDirMode=Auto
file1=\Program Files\JiveTalk\JiveTalk.sdf
TomTom Navigator
For TomTom I've added the TomTom settings file to my "filebackup.ini" as well. This makes a backup of all my settings and I do not have to click through the default screens anymore (like selecting the language, etc.):
Code:
file2=\Program Files\Navigator\*.dat
file3=\Program Files\Navigator\*.cfg
file4=\Program Files\Navigator\*.bif
SP TimeSync
To automatically start my SP TimeSync after my first reboot of the device, I have added a shortcut (copied from the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder) to the "Root\Windows\Startup" folder
Today Theme
To automatically load the theme mentioned in the Mortscript section (above) I add the theme (Nice.tsk) by having it added to the "Root\Windows\Startup" folder.

Nika.
Awesome work Nikagl - that was really quick! I been searching for the Resco key locations but I can't find a single one...yet!!!

Don't forget that some application may use files for registration. I always do a before/after export of registry and a search "files changed during last day" using Total Commander...
Hi all,
I might be moving this to a wiki as it looks like the forum doesn't allow more than 10k characters per post and splits up the registry files for some reason... more news soon....

Nika.
How about you zip the reg files?

Thanks nikagl.
I think this would be best in the Wiki...with the main SASHIMI thread still as a discussion thread. I was going to suggest it when you first mentioned making this thread.
I just don't want people posting here with feature requests, bugs, etc, instead of the main thread. Also, in the Wiki, this info won't get lost.
Let me know what you are doing and I will try to link it from the main SASHIMI thread.
Also... don't spend too much time on XML provisioning yet... the new version of SASHIMI will be coming with a new app I've written called Makisu which will create XML provisioning files for E-mail and wireless accounts (it runs on the device!). I was going to add it into SASHIMI , but I made it a stand alone that I will release it stand-alone and with SASHIMI .
I think you guys will like it
It keeps on getting better and better - awesome work Bengalih!!!!
I'll convert it soon to Wiki format and add other information too... does one of you have a good wiki converter I can use to change the current html page into wiki-format?

Hmmm, using Total Commander, huh? Let me try this process. I wanna hunt down those illusive Resco reg key locations (Resco Backup, Resco Explorer, Resco Brain Games etc etc)
reg settings
hello Nikagl, great work, this info combined with Sashimi is just awesome.
there are some reg setting that i have searched for but had no luck, one is the setting used with kaiser tweaks for the scroll bar width, i like mine set to 10 and then the setting for image, music and video to the storage card.
thanks
Lupe
Great thread. Personally the SPB registration entries are the most useful to me. Thanks for that.
The first time I configured Sashimi, I used the XML files from Kaisertweak and Advancedconfig to find registry entries. Maybe it's good advice for new users.
The XML files can be found and downloaded here:

Some more reg key locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Anton Tomov\Pocket Mechanic Professional]
"License"="xxxx"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Resco BrainGames]
"RC"=dword:xxxx (format this to hexadecimal data type)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Resco]
The whole string changed after registering Resco Backup, Explorer and BrainGain...
I just can't seem to properly isolate the Resco reg locations...
I have looked on the following thread and it tries to explain how to change the programs that are listed on the soft keys.
http://translate.google.com/transla...icks-tweaks.html&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=auto&tl=en
I can navigate to the files but don't know how to edit them.
Can someone help????
I am using PHM Registry Editor.
Also, is there a program to display emoticons in texts like this rather than the character version : )
There is an app called Touch HD Tweak. It has all the registry hacks for the HD preloaded, all you have to do is select which ones you want active.
You can also use Advance Config by Schaps; works great.
Oh yea, that too. It has a simpler GUI so its easier, I guess, for you to change things around.
I want to do it through the registry so that i can put my own programs there. i have tweak but you are restricted to a preset list.
What do you mean by "put your own programs there?" You can add any shortcut using Advance Config and name it the way you want.

I think if you add the path to where the app is you can use it and name it.

You don't need to edit the files just know what they are called and the path where they are located so you can copy that into HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/ via the registry editor. So for example to make right soft key open up the camera go to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila - then type in HomeRSKPath: \Windows\Camera.exe
then type in HomeRSK Text "Camera".
Power off and on for it to take effect - but may work without.
Hope that makes sense.
Thats what i'm saying in my original question.
I can get to the manila folder and then click values to see the files HomeRSKPath etc.(they have an 'ab' icon in PHB editor).
I can't find how to change the text and paths for the file.
If i click edit it only gives me the ability to change theusual binary numbers and name of the file
Can anyone tell me how to edit the HomeRSKPath files?

Put your stylus on the icon of HomeRSKPath and you will get a window pop up where you can insert your new app and path for it.
Sorted it, i wasn't restarting the phone so the registry wasn't getting re-written. Long day!
Metalboz,
The settings are in the registry, not in files. You need a registry editor to acces those keys and modify the value.
can anyone tell me how to put comm manager on the left softkey. thanks in advance.
This is what i did using PHM Registry Editor -
Open PHM Registry Editor
Navigate to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila
Press values
Click on HomeLSKPath
Press Enter key
-Opens up screen with the following-
------------------------------------
Vaule Name:
HomeLSKPath
Value Data:
Value Type:
REG_SZ
------------------------------------
Insert the path to the program you want run eg-
------------------------------------
Value Data:
\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
------------------------------------
Click done
Do the same for the HomeLSKText file but put the text that you want to show on the screen in the Value Data field.
Turn phone off and back on again.
Should be sorted for you.
Hi all,
I've installed Resco registry, but I can't see any HLKM files. All I see are the HKEY ones. How do I set it to show these? I've had a look through the forums, but can't find anything. Thanks all
hklm isn't a file you can see.it refers to the registry entries that begin
hkey_local_machine
But when I open the editor, all I see is the HKEY....... options. Surely it should show the HLKM..... options as well?
no, look at the third one, is it not hkey_local_machine? (or hklm for short)
by the way, you keep typing HLKM , , its HKLM
Cheers, obviously having a senior moment!!!
