I am writing a small app that offers some basic security settings. However, I can't find the setting in the WM6 or WM5 registry that causes the phone to hard reset after a settable number of failed password/PIN attempts. By chance, can anyone enlighten me where to find this?
Thanks in advance.

Could someone please help?
I have an XDA Exec (HTC UNIVERSAL) Ive been searching for days to a solution for this without avail and you guys seem to know what your talking about! Im very new to this and need a solution to this error when i try to install some applications and run them:
" X cannot be opened. Either it is not
signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be
found "
Is there any way you can disable this in WM5? my WM5 version is OS 5.1.1700 (Build 14354.0.1.1)
Or is there any way whatsoever you can get around this? please if anyone can help do let me know and post!!
Thankyou !!
Is your phone locked ?
It may be locked or your operator prevent installing all of 3d party applications. In this case reinstalling "clean" WM5 may help (I'm not sure though) - I'm only a newbie in WM5.
Another reason that application you run trying access trusted functions - like allocation of the physical memory. In this case I'm not sure what can be done - reinstallation of WM5 will not help.
Its unlocked! so if i re-install wm5 it wont say this when i install programs? i have tried resetting the phone and installing different roms but nothing works! is there any particular rom i should be looking to install? or anything i can put in the extended rom to install after a hard reset to sort this out? PLZ HELP!
I have had that problem, too and I was going crazy. Then I tried the following tweak but I do not really know why it should work, it just did:
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. :lol:
there is another tweak that gets rid of the warning messages, but I did not use that one
really! which software could i use to reboot the phone??
also is resco registry okay to view and change this? it says registry type 0x0 (1) i have now changed it to 0x0 (0) is this correct? i performed a soft reset but im stil getting the error message! is this because i need to use software to reboot?
yep, the first soft reboot needs to be done with software. After that you can use the usual way again.
After I had done this I removed all "problem apps" and then reinstalled them and it worked.
What software did you use or could i use to reboot my ppc chuckchuck?
What do I need to run on the Artemis to unlock the registry so I can make changes? It allows me to edit with PHM but after soft reset the values go back. Thanks
It is WM5 delay write on registry. Switch it on and off (optionally, wait 5 minutes) before softreseting. it should stick.
Thank hanmin. I learned something new today. It worked, much appreciated.
I am trying to change some registry settings to do things such as 'adjust volume settings' 'adjust backlight settings' 'turn bluetooth on and off' etc etc.
I want to use mort script to make the changes but so far I haven't figured out how to make the changes take effect without a soft reset, even when making the changes with a registry editor.
Does anyone know how to do this so that the changes take effect immediately?
Any help appreciated.
two things:
1st: all of the things you mentioned above should work without a reset. the best thing to do is change the reg value manully and if it works with out a reset then you know the problem is in the mort script
2nd: If you know how to edit xml files then download this cab and edit the xml file how you want. this should help some

this has a lot of apps in it you will be looking for the one that says tweaks
Thanks for the info irus,
Like I said, using a registry editor to change the settings does not take effect until I soft reset.
For example (and i'd appreciate it if someone could test this on their phone) changing the values in HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume...."Volume" and "Ringer" to 0 assuming it is not already set to silent does not actually turn the phone to silent until I soft reset.
Could someone please check this for me and report back.
BTW I'm using a Trinity (HTC P3600) with AX3L's LITE ROM.
Thanks in advance.
I tried it and it did not work, you sould try to edit the xml file in the program i told you about and try it there. when i get done with homework i will try it my self
Registry value is read by windows while loading. In case of desktop pc if you restart the explorer process the registry gets loaded. you need to find some way to load the registry again.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks fuzzvirus but that was my original question.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Bump......
I'm also interested in this theme. Does anyone know an answer?
Looking for some help from chefs who would probably know this, I installed the stock T-Mo US rom provided by xmoo but the Encryption option in Settings is checked and greyed out so cannot be unchecked.
Can someone tell me the registry setting to change, searching the registry using SK Tools showed several keys but none seemed to give me the required option. Thank you.
No one can advise on how to fix this? Checked the registry under HKLM\control panel and nothing refers to Encryption.
All of a sudden I can't update the stock information. I get this message "CONNECTION ERROR. There was a connection error while attempting to download stock data. Retry? Yes/No". It doesn't matter how the phone is configured or whether I initiate the update or the application does so automatically. I googled the message and found that some folks had the same trouble with the Weather application. The Solution was a registry tweak.
I haven't tried a hard reset yet. Since I don't know what the problem is or what caused it, I am reluctant. Also I hate to tweak the registry without specific information about what to change and how.
Can anybody help me with this?
Thanks in advance.
I forgot to mention that I upgraded my Rom from 1.07 to 1.36. Yesterday. I'm not so sure that was smart.
