quickie, cook in timezone - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

this has to be pretty easy, but i'm going nuts trying to find out how to do it!
how do you change the default timezone that comes up with the setup screen?
i'm pretty good at digging through this forum and google and havent found any info about actually cooking it in as a default...
after the setup, i think the reg key is HKLM\time, but that is not present in all rgus and hv files in 3 different roms that i've dug through. it doesnt appear to be as easy as replacing the WinCENLS folder, although i'm not sure exactly what all the hex in there is, it seems more like a list. i can't find it in the xip either, and searching for "time" in all rgus, etc... doesn't help. i'm guessing it's a hex edit somewhere...
i know there's people that know care to share the info?

the easies way is to first set the timezone from the settings..and then export it to ur Pc ( use any regeditor to export..)
voila

Would this help it a mis mash of Prov & reg time settings.

I was searched for this for a long time, until i found it by accident, and I've been using it since.
The file attached is what i use to set GMT to 0 (London, Lisbon time).
You can set your GMT and get the binary data using the RapiConfig.exe
See how to do it here (there are several examples, and the tool for the job)
You must set the value you want to retrieve from the registry in RapiConfigIn.xml
Then connect the device to your pc and run RunConfig.bat
You have the info you need in RapiConfigOut.xml

Anyone know how to save WiFi AP profiles?

I have had a search on this site but have not found the answer.
I hard reset my phone quite regularly (dont ask why) and unless i do a full backup the WiFi profiles (ie the remembered networks i have connected tooand their WEP keys).
What i want to know is-is there a file that contains this information that i can just copy off the phone? coz my mates network has like a 52 charicter(not that many) key to access, Very annoying when i have to type it in TWICE everytime.
I hope someone can help
Thank you so much for your time in advance
maybe this is the sort of job for Buzz or another guenius
Don't need a genius for that. Just save the appropriate registry branch and then re-import into the registry after the hard reset. You will need a registry editor that supports export/import.
Thanks for your reply, i didn't think that would be so easy, i mean being able to extract the profile that way and import it again and it still remember the WEP key, thats a bit of unsecure!
I would like to know this as well. I have looked everywhere for this and have found no answers.
Have you looked at.....
There's an app called WiFi Profiles...... see this link.
You can configure, save, load and apply different WiFi profiles (i.e. settings) for whatever locations you want.
Have a look, see if does what you want.....

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

"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!
tracking down a particular .cab
Hi
Is there any way to track down a specific regisry string ? i am searching for a string that carrys the label enter pin code at the position where it should actually say enter Simlock password. so i want to adjust this to the approriate text label, however i cannot seem to locate this string to make the text adjustment.

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"

Finally HTCHome.dll Cracked !!

Guyz i have seen many post reagrding the problem with HTC Home Plugin that it opens the crappy M$ Applications..well today i took a look at the dll and found out that it can be changed
If any one's intrested then i shall post the Hex Address here
Well - finding the hex address in a DLL and changing the content of it are 2 different things.
Have you successfully changed the program that is started?
Next problem ... the most files from HTC have a signature. If you HEX Edit some things, your signature is damage!
Hi Ather!
I agree, it's really diferent finding the HEX position than to modify it.... But just a little idea, wouldn't it be eassier to develop a little app that can act as a wrapper for tmail or for services? I mean, you have tmail.exe renamed to tmail2.exe and place other app's in it's place. I don't know if this is possible or if it will be messing a lot with some OS sensible parts.... What do you think?
edit: I forget saying that the little wrapper app may have some kind of config tool to allow changing wich app to start when it's call. By default it should run tmail2.exe...
edit2: you can take this as far as you want... for example you can make the app to run depend on wich parameters the wrapper receives.
(sorry for the lot of edits... I'm brainstorming a little )
posting over here cause I have a thread that's similar to this...
in regards to the wrapper app...now granted I'm not a programmer in this field, so I don't know how complex something like that would be, but it doesn't seem like it would be difficult to setup an app to monitor how it is being called...
if call(tmail.exe /var1)
run tmail2.exe
elseif call(tmail.exe /var2)
run myMsgApp.exe

I think the first part is , as _h4x0r_ said on the other thread, knowing if changing the exe name will do the trick. Any one can confirm this point? I'm currently at work and cannot test it...
I'll be able to test this in a sec...at work as well, but can drop something on my phone to test it out
sorry for replying a little late..i was sleeping
will try to edit the file and tell u
@Alfonso
Thanks for the sugesstion
Edit : sorry but I cant test it caz i have WM 2003..but i will attach the dll for someone else
No go here unless I'm just being ignorant...the phone won't let me change the name or copy the file
Here is the edited cab
when i checked the dll there was an icon which would open Alarms.. ( ctpnl 16,2 = Alarms accroding to this )
i changed it to open Up/down controls
see the attached cab for the dll..just install it into the device..it reads all the sms , mms, calls count from the registery..

it can be changed later
but first thing is that did the DLL work or not.if yes then we can continue..
Yeah I tried it from the PC...it just tells me I don't have access. Now, I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier and I don't know if it has any bearing on the situation...but while the program may not be 'running,' I see tmail.exe listed when I switch to the 'Processes' view in Task Manager. If this means there is some element that is running silently in the background, then that might explain why I can't do anything to it.
It might be possible that tmail.exe is a system file. You could try Resco Explorer to see if it can change it.
actually it can be changed...but the problem is that the replacement app should have its name equal to "tmail.exe" words..im not that good with Hex-Editing...there is a user i cant remeber his name who edited the Lg today plugin..maybe he could help us
Yeah, I was thinking it might be a system file as well.
Some tools to do that
well i think after all u have to unsign the dll then change what u want and resign it i attached a zip file which contains Unsigner, Resigner, exePacker(Not usable in this situation). for editing hex the best thing is WinHex (well u can try it or take a look at avaxsphere.com ). Before we used this tools for HTC Album and it worked + LG today Screen. I think it will work for this too.

Cheers, Hirad
I had done this in the past by getting the email button to launch flexmail. I hex edited tmail.exe to be fmail.exe and used vjbrisk to redirect to flexmail. Don't forget to sign the dll or it won't run.

why text messages are recieved with different timestamp?

Whenever I get a next text message, I noticed that the messages have a time stamp way way off from the current time. How can that be if the time of the phone is right?
Have you tried this fix?
1) Goto HKLM/SOFTWARE/OEM/PhoneSetting
2) Add DWORD Value 'TrustTimeZoneField'
3) Set value = 0
4) Soft Reset
I had a similar issue where all the Delivery Reports from OrangeUK (sent from "System Administrator") came up before all the other messages regardless of when they were received.
Maybe something for me to try.
Can't find it
Where is that file at? Or it a registry?
I looked on the explorer on the HD but so many folders I haven't found it. Can you elaborate more?

hi stzd8,
it's the registry
HKLM is short hand for Hkey local machine
How do I get to the registry?
I apologize for asking these type of 'questions' but how do I get to the registry?
I can only see files. Do you access the registry from the connected PC or on the phone itself. So this is the right way to fix the timestamp?
thanks
Edited the registry 'trustedtimezone' didn't work
The registry thing didn't work, any other ideas?
the tweak WORKED for me.
Thanks alot!

Did you change correct registry key? Did you soft reset afterwards?
EDIT
This fix may not work on different rom version, i.e. wm6.1 & wm6.5 as well as different manila versions. Try asking question in relevant rom thread and you may get a quicker response to your query

X-Tended manila Startmenu -now 50 items instead of only 30

Touch X Xtended StartMenu -add shortcuts to startmenu, now 50 shortcuts, original is 30. (you must add the name and shortcut in registry to get the last 20 to work, im working on a program for that) View attachment 202860
For example
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\30]
"DispName"="Total commander"
"IconPath"=""
"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000000
"Path"="\program files\tcmd\totalcommander.LNK"
It does added to 50, but doesnt work, cannot add shortcut.
Tried soft reset. not working too.

look at post one agian.
it works!
unfortunatly it has to be with registry changes!
here you can see:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMAGsyecY8Y
Confirmed...only work with registry changes!
I guess not for novice users, they might break it :>
Well, I'd suggest once all the shortcuts are properly done, backup those reg entries.. then next time, it would just be importing the reg file after a hard reset.
Anybody can upload the default reg entry or provide the links to Settings and Home (TF3D). I forgot where I backed them up and I removed them previously.
I can give you the settings, since I deleted the home shortcut!
Command:
--switchtopage Manila://settings.page
DisplayName:
[[IDS_SETTINGSTITLE]]
IconPath:
\windows\HTC\Assets\Images\programlauncher\Program_icon\settings_88.qtc
IsReadOnly:

Though I don't understand why the default display name must be so complex.
Why can't they put Settings instead of [[IDS_SETTINGSTITLE] ?
adding paths manually is painful especially when you need to move them around for any reason.. what about a little config utility to do this easily? it would be nice also to have only the needed rows.. I mean, 50 might bee too much, and using the above mentioned config app might set 33, 36, 39, 42, 45 etc depending on my needs..
hope it's clear enough for you to understand my hint

I'm planning to do an app like the one you ask for. If i get a few hours spare time after my scheduled two day trip I will create and post the app here.
YOU'RE SIMPLY THE BEST. THAT would make many of us happier than ever with touchflo 3d!
I entered the settings button back as per the previous post and my touch flow is kinda toast. I checked my typing and it seems ok but I did look for the icon file and don't see an HTC folder in the windows folder???
if that is true then the \windows\htc\assets\... will not work
Any ideas?
Hi, does this works also for Manila 2.0 in Topaz/Diamond2?
Or only in Manila 2.1 ?

It is for multilingual purposes. manila will load the name according to your device system/manila current language.
The following registry files will extend the number of programs to 48 (or 64 in the case of the second file). All the new entries can be edited directly from the programs tab. No additional messing around in the registry is required.
Reg files don't work for me...I had tried the same thing earlier by manually editting the registry without success. But I thought I would give it one more try. Really stupid that we can't have more than 30 items...
EDIT: I have CDMA TouchPro2 on Sprint...

Interesting. I am using EnergyROM Photon on my phone with Manila 2.1. Perhaps the fix only works with certain versions of Manila.
doesnt work me either... stock tmous rom, i get the additional slots, but when i add there is nothing there... any thoughts? if not do u have a way to revert to previous setting?
