Installation of App's and Reg Editor

Hi everybody, wonder if someone can help me.
I have both a K-Jam (just received and love it) and a JASJAR (love 3G and VGA Screen, hate it's slowness, big time, k-jam is by far faster and therefore usable).
I've installed the same app's on both machines. Doing this I've noticed that on the JASJAR it just installs them with no problems, on the K-Jam everytime I install an app, it first asks me if I really want to install it since it does not have a recognised certificate (or something like that). I always say yes and the app install (and work correctly... aside from one, see below).
However, amongst the app's installed is Resco Explorer, together with the Resco Registry Editor app. When I try and start up the Reg App, i get a message that says that "the file ':RRegistry' cannot be opened. Either it's not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall this file". Well, I did try reinstalling it and the same problem persist (BTW Resco Explorer and its other plug-ins work correctly). I therefore assume it's got because of this "certificate" problem I mentioned above.
Is anyone else getting this message on installations and is anyone else having problems with Resco Registry Editor? If yes, has anyone found a solution to fix this problem (i.e. being able to use the reg editor app)?? Please help me... i really want/need to be able to modify the registry on the K-Jam.... Thanks in advance

you you install the new version on the website the wm2005 version all work fine, i have the same problem with the 2003 version of it. but works fine now

i do get the message when i install programs,
i have installed & used both resco explorer & reg edit without any problems?
they both work fine for me (used reg edit for tomtom nav 5)

Resco Registry
I have the same problem. My version of Resco Explorer is v5.35, which is the latest.
It was working fine before I updated my Dopod 818 pro ROM.
Any insight?
Thanks.

Same problem here with my Universal... Any help ?

Pocketplus theme change?

I have installed Pocketplus 3 on my Wizard and it work great after disabling the saft boot "feature".
I tried to change to some of the theme preinstalled with pocketplus 3 to change the indicator icon without any effect.
Anyone has any luck using anything other then the default theme?

I have the same problem.. only workes if u send the .tsk file to eg my documents and installs it from there.. so far.....

On my Vario, the themes show up in the Today options, but selecting them does not load them. The theme is still Windows default, or one of the other ones that came with the phone. Too bad, wold have liked to use the same theme I was used ot on my magician. How des installing them from another folder ( like my documents) work? just copy them there? But how to select them then?

I have finally find a work around solution from another forum.
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=106316
Here is the extract:
those who are having problems installing themes. sbsh had a workaround. goto settings/today and highlight the theme you wish to use. locate the tsk file and copy to root. rename tsk to cab. install the file. goto settings/today/items exit. it seems to work without problems.
I just tried this method and works. Hope this help with anyone that is using PocketPlus.

Which app to edit registry?

Sorry for such a newbie question - but which app is everyone using to access the registry?
Many thanks
Chris

Total Commander http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm is freeware and works a treat.

Thanks!
Chris
p.s. is there an app which can be run from a pc to do this (i.e. over the usb connection to the wizard)?

Hmmm, i tried Total Commander on my new O2 Mini S (WM5, English IMate ROM) and couldn't get it to work. is anyone else having this problem? anyone know of another reg editor that works on my device?
Thanks.

lskb
I don't know of any software for editing the registry via USB connection, sorry.
wubaguba
Did you use the tcmdpocketarm download from http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm for install from the device?
HTH

wuba.. could you tell us exactly what part of it isn't working ?
I've got it installed - and it works fine.
If you want to edit the registry, go to the "\\" dir, then enter the registry.
I don't use it for editing the registry, though - it's not really well-suited for that. I do use it for *searching* the registry, however - as it's just VERY fast at that (it'll find all hits and display them in a list on the screen).
For the actual editing, I use PHM Regedit - it's free

http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
Try this one - it is based on the PC and works across the USB

Thanks, flashgordonv, I had found the Mobile Registry Editor site but the user comments seem to suggest that it doesn't support WM5. Have you used it on a WM5 device?
Chris

i use PHM registry editor, and am happy with that.

Sure....I could not go back up the directory structure when trying to locate a file. that was the main issue but there were other minor annoyances like not being able to see the bottom of the screen after my windows keyboard popped up. the version i tried was this one...
http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe

Btw...i couldn't get to the PHM editor via the prior link but this one worked...

Sorry, can I ask the dumb question about which of the many cab files it produces I should copy onto my Qtek9100?

Just to confirm mobile registry editor works fine. I recreated my comms manager entry with it yesterday.

Most registry editors are compatible with WM5/ the Wizard. See http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/UltimateRoundupOfRegistryEditors.asp for more info.

What version of the wizard have you got mobile registry editor to work on?
I get access denied when trying to write to a HKLM value on a VARIO 1.6.2.4
Do we need to unlock RAPI?
If so how is this done?

Did you do it with the desktop-based MRE? It indeed won't work - HKLM is protected against outer access (see this article for more info on this new, WM5+ protection). Do it from a PPC-based registry editor - I've tested with Resco and it works flawlessly.
I use ROM version 1.5.X so that I can write to my Extended ROM. Hope this works with 1.6.x too. If not even Resco is able to modify anything under HKLM with ROM version 1.6.x, let me know.

Yes I can use local PPC based reg editors ok to edit the HKLM hive, but I wanted to get the PC based one working as it is more convenient to remote edit.
On the MRE web site it talks about blocked remote access and MS tools to reconfigure RAPI, was wondering if anyone had managed to find a configuration that worked.

It doesn't work with remote editors. Dunno whether this restriction can be circumvented. Use a PPC remote controller app (see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=514&more=1 ) for this to make your life easier.

Hide SIM contacts on Touch Plus

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
ND

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.

nikisimfix
hello !!
Thank you very much for this soft

Thanks guys for the wonderful solution.. I was going bonkers having to delete and add in all my contacts everytime I factory set my Niki. Cheers..

Other solution is RilhasHideSIM, for more see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467147

How to change operator name for good?

I used the search funktion and found couple things (Personalizer 2.0 and Op Mon) regardings this.
After a soft reset the operator name changes back to the original.
Is there way to keep the changed operator name even after a soft reset?
I would appreciate a lot, if someone could help.
cheers,
timsah

Hi,
I wanted that myself. I searched and Personalizer works for me perfect. After softreset aswell. No idea why it not working for you. Check windows/start up folder, maybe its not starting after reset.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426673

The reg setting should be in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\OperatorName

@artukas613
Thnx for the link, i tried with Personalizer 2.0 and didn't know about 3.1
Now it works even after Reboot.
@Bruce Inman
My ROm is without Manila.
I tried with HKLM/System/State/Phone/CurrentOperater. After a reboot the change is gone.
thanks guys,
timsah

Hi, thank you for the suggestion, i am using a rom without Manila in combination with Spb Mobile Shell, so no need for co0kie's Home Tab Editor.
Everything works fine with Personalizer 3.1 anyway.
