hey guys,
is the a possibility to turn off the green led blinking?
Yes, put the phone into flight mode.
The top led blinking green indicates you have a signal on the network.
Steady orange - charging
Steady green - charge complete.
Bottom led: flashing green - active wifi
flashing blue - active bluetooth
well, without losing connection to the network.
any registryhack?
is there nothing to switch the led off? (without loosing connection! )
i will pay for the feature
ok there is no free solution?!
Is here anybody who could code a solution? if so, how much is it?
yours, acco
There is a solution. Its not expensive too.
Non transparent tape.
Just don't look at the led or simply note the blinking time it takes and close your eye accordingly.
Hehehe..
This thread is pretty funny
you can crack it totaly make it blank with a pencil....
haha!!
I absolutely mean it serious!
I suppose there might be registry entries that control it but I reckon you're stuck with it.
There ist only one entry with "LED" in the name.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Security/System/SYSTEM/NLedAPIsReady = Notification LED APIs
And the same in Events.
And one called nleddrvr.dll maybe NotifyLEDDriver...
I think we have to wait for a while. My ex-device a I-mate Jasjar we have a .cab that make the green light no visible.
I didn't found a .cab yet, but as soon as I found it I'll tell you all.
Hi,
hm... i have waited for one month now. but it seem to be not enough!?...
ok, i'm still hoping!

The standard compliance 'user-agent' string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\(Default) = "Mozilla/4.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Defaults to "Mozilla/2.0" The application/version string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Version = "MSIE 6.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Defaults to "MSIE 4.01" The host operating system string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Platform = "Windows NT 5.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Defaults to "Windows CE" Please note that if you change the Platform string, PDA-friendly sites may stop sending you PDA-friendly content automatically. Leave this string set to "Windows CE" unless a site absolutely refuses to work, or you want the site to feed you its normal content.
Change the location of 'Temporary Internet Files'
When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the 'Temporary Internet Files' location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Storage Card\cacheie" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Windows\Profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Change the display of the clock in the taskbar
The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'
Change the Short Date Format
Applications may call upon the system to provide a 'short date format'. One such application is the Date/Time display in the taskbar, if set to show the date. To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" (example):
HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte = "ddd/d " (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note 1: For more information on date/time formatting strings, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...vbenlr98/html/vafmtuserdefineddateformats.asp
Note 2: All applications using the short date format will be affected by this change. Choose wisely

HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this makes it easier for any malware to install itself
Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created
Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
Disable 3gp (video) size limit
To disable the 3gp (video recording format) size limit:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3\EnableLimit = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Add GPS settings icon
If you have a GPS device, you can add a GPS settings icon to your Start > Settings menu using:
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\redirect <-- delete, or rename, this value
Note that '2' stands for the Connections tab, '1' is System and '0' would be Personal
Note also that this has reportedly disabled one person's USB connectivity. To restore, set "GPS Program Port = None", "GPS Connection Port = None", "Automatic GPS Management = on"
Add Lunar Calendar mode to Calendar
You can add a Lunar Calendar mode to the Calendar view, showing a 'Month' view with the Lunar months/days.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowLunarCalendar = 1 (DWORD decimal)

The default location may be "\Windows\" or "\Windows\Rings\" depending on your Device provider
Change slide-out keyboard layout
If you have a Device from one country, but would like to use the keyboard layout of another, you can change the keyboard's language setting to do so...
For US layout (QWERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1033 (DWORD decimal)
For German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1031 (DWORD decimal)
For French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1036 (DWORD decimal)
For other codes, see: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
Show Edge network indicator instead of GPRS
If your network provider supports the Edge network (and your device does as well), you can use the following to show a little 'E' icon instead of 'G' icon when connected to an Edge network:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that your device -and- your network operator need to support Edge, otherwise you won't see it. Also note that if you connect to GPRS, you will still see the 'G' icon.
Make reminders show only once
By default, reminders will keep bugging you for 2 minutes. You can change this to zero minutes by adjusting this value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins = 0 (DWORD decimanl)
Note that you can set this to any value you like. Alternative to setting this value to zero is to delete the '?AutoSnooze' key altogether
Remove operator skin from Phone app
If your device's Phone app is skinned, you can remove by setting:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Similarly, you can restore it with:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 1 (DWORD decimal)
En/Disable receiving of files over BlueTooth/IrDA
If you want to prevent receiving files over BlueTooth or IrDA, you can set the following value:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to (re-)enable:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1 (DWORD decimal)
GPRS always on
If you want your GPRS (or EDGE) connection to always be on, set the following:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to turn it off:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that |gprs connection name| will depend on the name you've given your GPRS connection
Hide/Show Screen orientation icon
If you wish to hide the Screen orientation icon, shown in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 0 (DWORD decimal)
If this doesn't work, you can try:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all.
Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar
If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe"._
_Note also that this reportedly does not work on AKU2 ROMs to remove the new battery indicator
Show slide-out keyboard caps/dot icon next to SIP
If your device contains a file called "capnotify.exe", try running it (most devices that have it will already have it in the Windows\StartUp\ folder), and setting the following value to get a visual presentation of whether you are in caps or dot (alternate key function) mode:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\EnableIndicator = 1
Please note that if your device has no external keyboard with caps/dot mode, you won't gain anything from this tweak
Please also note that the application "?CapNotify.exe" must be running (normally found in \Windows\?StartUp\ already) for this to work
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
Change the keyboard backlight duration
To change the duration of the keyboard backlight, you can set (example is 30 seconds):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that this may not work on some devices. One such notable exception is the HTC Wizard.
Disable the SMS Sent notification
If you're tired of the "Message Sent" notification after sending an SMS/text message, you can disable them:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that the 'Settings' key may not exist in your device, and thus may have to be created first.
Change the SMS Sent notification text
If you just want the "Message Sent" notification to read something different, adjust the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\MessageSent = "Message Sent" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Always require SMS Delivery notification
If you always want an SMS Delivery notification (see note below!), and are tired of ticking the 'Request message delivery notification' checkbox, set:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: Delivery notifications will depend on your and the recipient's operator network capabilities! Note 2: You can still override this with the regular checkbox.
Set default SIP
The default SIP on practically every device is the Keyboard. You may prefer entry with a different SIP. If so, you can set this to be the default SIP through:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM = |SIP ClassID|
The |SIP ClassID| will depend on the SIP's ClassID, which may vary per-device. You can find the correct ClassID by searching for "IsSIPInputMethod" in HKCR, then going to the top key and checking the name of the SIP that's in the (Default) value.
Please note that this doesn't work with all SIPs. Transcriber/Calligrapher are two examples of this.
You can, however, set Transcriber as the default SIP by starting Transcriber.exe on startup. (This should be moved to, or added to, non-registry Tweaks page)
WARNING: Do not assume that the below ClassIDs would be -as found- on your device! Setting it to a non-existant SIP may prevent your device from booting up!
The following are some of the ClassIDs typically found:

Add/remove items from the SIP list
If you have a few items in your SIP list which you don't use, they can be removed from the list by setting the IsSIPInputMethod for each item you want removed. To remove the SIP from the list, replace the $SIP_CLSID$ in the example below with a CLSID from the Set default SIP tweak.:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\$SIP_CLSID$\IsSIPInputMethod\(Default) = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To add it back to the list:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\$SIP_CLSID$\IsSIPInputMethod\(Default) = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Put custom text on bottom-right of Today screen
You can set some piece of text on the bottom-right of the Today Screen by setting the following key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta\Today = "Hello World" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Please note that this text won't take up Today item text. It will be obscured by Today items.
Navigate PIE up/down with the four-way pad
By default, PIE uses the four-way pad's up/down buttons to jump between hyperlinks and form fields. You can set it up to page up/down instead by setting:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable hyperlink/form field navigation:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that you may still jump between links using Tab and Shift-Tab if your Device has a built-in hardware keyboard.
Navigate PIE up/down with any key
You can change the keys used by IE for page up/page down browsing by creating keys linked to these controls:
Page Up:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\|key code| = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Page Down
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\|key code| = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Where |key code| is the code of the key pressed. For example, if your Device has a phone pad on the front, you may prefer to use the '2' key (keycode 50) for page up, and the '8' key (keycode 56) for page down, leaving the four-way pad to browse links:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\50 = 1 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\56 = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Disable charging over USB
If your device can charge over USB, you can probably disable this feature by setting:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Show Calendar event text in Week View
If you wish to see a Calendar event's text in the Week View, set the following:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekView = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable it again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekView = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that your event must have long enough a duration to show the event text, and the week view (with its narrow columns) truncates long words easily
Also note that the key "Calendar" may not exist - just create it if it doesn't
Change Calendar 'working days'
If you wish to change the 'working days' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For a Mon-Fri workweek (default):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For a Mon-Sat workweek:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2210007E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For a Tue-Thu workweek:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 22100016 (DWORD hexadecimal)
Here's how this works. When editing the value, switch to "Binary" mode. For the default Mon-Fri, you should see:
100010000100000000000000111110
The last 7 numbers are what we're interested in. They stand for the days of the week, in reverse order: Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday. When the number is "1", it is a working day. If it is "0", it's not a working day. So to look at the above examples again:
Days : SFTWTMS
Mon-Fri: 0111110
Mon-Sat: 1111110
Tue-Thu: 0011100
Using the above, you should be able to set the working days to whatever you'd like.
Note that this value also adjusts the working HOURS. The examples here all use the default 8am-5pm workday. See the "Change Calendar 'working hours'" tweak to modify this.
Note that the ActiveTimes key and value may not exist. Simply create them first.
Change Calendar 'working hours'
If you wish to change the 'working hours' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For 8am-5pm (default):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For 9am-5pm:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2212003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For 2pm-10pm:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2C1C003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
Here's how this works.
The first 2 characters define the ending hour as a count of half hours since midnight, in hexadecimal. So for midnight, it would be 0 half hours in hexadecimal = 0. 5pm is 17 hours, or 34 half hours. 34 in hexadecimal is 22. 10pm is 22 hours, or 44 half hours. 44 in hexadecimal is 2C. You can use a calculator capable of hexadecimal conversions to get the hexadecimal number.
Similarly, the next 2 characters define the starting hour as a count of half hours since midnight, in hexadecimal. So for 8am.. 16 half hours, 16 in hexadecimal is 10. 9am = 18 half hours = 12. 14h = 28hh = 1C.
Using the above, you should be able to se the working hours to whatever you'd line.
Note that this value also adjusts the working DAYS. The examples here all use the default Mon-Fri workweek. See the "Change Calendar 'working days'" tweak to modify this.
Note that the ActiveTimes key and value may not exist. Simply create them first.
Note that you cannot set the End time earlier than the Start time, for obvious reasons
Note that you cannot set a Midnight end time. The best you can do is 11.30pm (2F)
Show 'busy status' in Calendar Agenda View
To show the "Free"/"Tentative"/"Out of office" states in the Agenda View, set:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowBusyInDescription = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To hide it again:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowBusyInDescription = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this only appears to affect the 'Agenda' view. No other views, and not the Today Screen item.
Make WM5 ask where to install a program (1)
If you wish to be able to specify whether to install a program on WM5's Main storage, or your Storage Card, regardless of installer setting set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that many applications do not support being installed on the Storage Card and may behave unpredictably, including crashing
Make WM5 ask where to install a program (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 ask where to install a program is by adding the "/askdest" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /askdest' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Make WM5 prompt before overwriting an existing installation
If you wish to make WM5 prompt you before overwriting an existing installation, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskOptions = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskOptions = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Show Tomorrow's Appointments on Calendar Today item
If you wish to see tomorrow's Appointments on the Calendar Today item, set:
If you wish to see today's All Day event as well:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Calendar\Flags = 5 (DWORD decimal)
If you do not wish to see today's All Day event:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Calendar\Flags = 4 (DWORD decimal)
Other values (attainable through the "Options..." dialog for the Calendar Today item just as well):
0 = Show Upcoming Appointments
1 = Show Upcoming Appointments and today's "All Day" event
2 = Show Next Appointment
3 = Show Next Appointment and today's "All Day" event
It works out to the following binary structure:
Default Behavior: Show Upcoming Appointments
000
||'- Show "All Day" events (doesn't show tomorrow's "All Day" events)
|'- Show Next Appointment
'- Show Tomorrow's Appointments
Low Battery warning
By default, a PPC will sound a warning sound when the battery is running low (10%, fixed value), but there's no way to disable or change the notification. To enable this, so that it is visible in the "Sounds & Notifications" control panel, set:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\Default = "Low battery warning" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that the string used can be whatever you like it to be
Replace Left/Right-handed landscape option with single Landscape option
If for some reason you wish to disable the display of left-handed/right-handed in Start > Settings > |System| > Screen, and replace it with a single "Landscape" option, set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeFixed = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To restore, set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeFixed = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that when you set it fixed, you can no longer switch between left-handed/right-handed through Start > Settings > |System| > Screen, only between Portrait and Landscape. If you wish to change the orientation, use an external application or see the Landscape Orientation Tweak.
Change Landscape Orientation
By default, the Landscape Orientation (i.e. what way the screen is rotated when put into Landscape mode) is set either by the manufacturer or through the Screen control panel applet. If you have disabled the left-handed/right-handed orientation (see "Replace Left/Right-handed landscape option with single Landscape option" tweak), you can still change the Landscape orientation through the registry:
Right-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Left-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 4 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that a soft reset is required for this to take effect - an external screen rotation utility is recommended over this tweak
Please also note that some devices which change orientation automatically based on e.g. keyboard slide-out may have the orientation hard-wired, and switch to e.g. Left-handed even if you set it to go to Right-handed

AKU2 ROMs tweaks
These are tweaks that have been confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs, and confirmed not to work on earlier ROMs
Show Wireless Today item
By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Add time sync page to Phone Settings
To add a time sync page to your Phone Settings (Start > Settings > Phone > Options > Time Zones) , set the following:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowTimeZonesPage = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to remove again:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowTimeZonesPage = 0 (DWORD decimal)
________________________________________
AKU2.2 ROMs tweaks
These are tweaks that have been confirmed to work on AKU2.2 ROMs, and confirmed not to work on earlier ROMs
Restore Clock on Taskbar when on Today Screen
The AKU2 update brought with them a, arguably lame, battery icon which replaced the Clock. Although the clock can be restored when running applications, it is permanently removed when on the Today Screen. Microsoft have addressed users' concern over this in the AKU2.2 update. You can restore the clock entire by setting the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Microsoft blog entry: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/04/28/586453.aspx
________________________________________
Tweaks that can be done through the normal user interface
These are tweaks that can be done through the normal user interface, and thus don't require tweaking the registry in any way, shape or form
Default SMS Delivery Notifications to on
This tweak can be set through: Start > Programs > Messaging*, Menu > Tools > Options... > Text Messages* > [x] Request delivery notifications
To always have SMS Delivery Notifications enabled:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable them (can still enable per-SMS in SMS settings):
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that SMS Delivery Notifications are a network provider option, and the recipient may refuse them to be sent out
Show the clock in all applications
This tweak can be set through: Start > Settings > |System| > Clock & Alarms* > |More| > [x] Display the clock on the title bar in all programs
To show the clock on the titlebar in all applications:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar\LimitedClock = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To hide it again (only visible on Today Screen):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar\LimitedClock = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that on AKU2.0 ROMs, it is not possible to show the clock on the taskbar when on the Today Screen at all. This was adjusted by Microsoft for AKU2.2. Pre-AKU2.0 ROMs do not suffer from this deficiency.
Tweaks that work in WM2003, but do not work on WM5
Please put depricated or debunked tweaks here, so they are not reinstated by some other well-meaning person later. Of course, please provide corroberation of your change.
Enable Realtime Memory Defragmenting (or something.)
There isn't any concise description of this tweak, but it appears to free up some memory if nothing else.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\NeverDorkMemory
Note that you should only create the key; this is not a value! See here: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,47926
wow! a lot of nice settings!
but i can't find something to disable the LED in Standby.
There is one similar point:
---
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events
---
but this is only for events and not for the green flashing, or isn't it?
Take a look a little bit in the middle and you can read: Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
Enjoy!!!!
Check out this topic on Modaco! It's a dedicated thread to your "problem"
Thanks for the Link!!!
When i write i wana some software or hack that puts a little icon on the screen to show im in caps lock/capital letter as apopsed to small letter. any one know how to do this?
use registry editor, preferably total commander, and here's the tweak
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Key: EnableIndicator (dWord)
Value: 1 = enabled
0 = disabled
Hello guys!
I have taken a look at wiki to find a tweaks that would improve performance/responsiveness of our devices (no matter what hardware or OS you are using) - whether via registry or via settings. I found several such a tweaks (by Cyphol) in Hermes forum:
Performance tweaks that will improve responsiveness of your ROM no matter which you choose (Only tested on WM6 but should work on WM5 too):
1. Improve performance/response time:
- Start > Settings > Phone => Keypad = Off
- Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications; Under Sound Tab => Disable/Untick Events (warings, system events) - this tweak will BRUTALLY increase the responsiveness of Start menu and Quick Menu 2.7 (because system will no more have to search for sound files in the ROM everytime you tap the screen)
2. Your Windows Mobile device is just like your Windows PC. So, soft reset it before going to sleep (or whenever appropriate) once a day to make it runs good at all time (because of the memory leak when you close the program not all the memory is restored - sof reset restores RAM lost due to Memory leak).
3. Make sure you install the today plugin apps such as Resco Today Plugin etc. on the internal/device memory. Some today plugin can be installed on the storage card but it'll slow down your system performance a bit.
4. Do not install too many apps on the internal/device memory. Leave as much free space as you can on it. Check whether it can be install on the storage card or not. Normally, don't let it become as low as 8MB free but 10MB is enough already.
5. Know what you're doing such as tampering your system registry. Make sure it can be done and you're doing it the right way. If not, then leave it as is.
6. Never let your device go to sleep by itself. Do it manually by pressing the power button everytime when you've finished using your device.
7. Make sure you shutdown the 'Activesync' completely after activesyncing your device with your PC. You can use task manager (X-Button), Magic Button etc or you can use memory applet in setting > System > memory; Running Programs
More tweaks/hints form Nothin:
hint for cookers:
- removing unused keyboards, and today plugins(registry cuts) may have influence too.
- reediting system gfx resources(like gfxes in dialpads etc) may make device faster
- /windows/startup and hklm/init removals may have influence to overall performance and memory usage.
- wise welcomehead, default "windows default" theme, and generally optimised TSK's may have influenece too( good tsk needs stwater and tdywater ONLY(for portrait/landscape,only 2 images, not 4!), i can recommend themegenCE for making good, fast themes. also - themes without start image(today background only) may be good thing.
- stop using x-button! use alternatives - pbar, quickmenu...
- preconfigs are useful - every program may be optimised by its settings - include preconfigs in oempacks(rgu),
- big pagepool is usually..useless, keep it as small, as possible(min. 4 mb, some says, that 4.5 mb is optimal for normal usage)...
i recommend to use sktools to optimise registry - 24% smaller registry.
Aim of this thread: I will collect your hints/tweaks and put them in the first post, then I will update the wiki.
Please post what works for you and is not mentioned on this list!
Registry Tweaks (kudos Nothin):
Never hide the WirelessManager Tray Icon at the bottom.
Don't believe me?
Try it and feel the difference.
This is the key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000 ;<--- (dword:00000000 to hide and dword:00000001 to show)
first thing:glyphcache.
known thing, BUT, not obvious:
my setting:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00020000
it is 131072 dec.
internet says 32768 value as highest.
nope.
every program, that is using fonts will have faster response with very high values(ie,pdf readers, ebook readers..)
next one:
error reporting:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ErrorReporting\UploadSet tings]
"DontUpload"=dword:00000001
controversial one:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS]
"EnableCache"=dword:00000001
"CacheSize"=dword:80
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt]
"ReplStoreCacheSize"=dword:00000080
small cache is freeing program memory - i CANNOT see almost any merits with bigger cache. both values should be equal.
next one, cache for system sounds:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event]
"EventCache"=dword:100
small cache is working ok(default is 1536 kb!)
cache for extrom(useless mem eater,imo,as i do not use extrom,it is clean in my roms, completely empty).
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ TRUEFFS_DOC1\FATFS]
"DataCacheSize"=dword:00000010
another ones are windows animations, turn it off, always.
qtek9100/wizard specific(may be useful for other devices too..) battery performance tweaks:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1]
"Group"="NDIS"
"DisplayName"="AsyncMac NDISWAN Miniport"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\AsyncMac1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000
"BusType"=dword:00000000
"BusNumber"=dword:00000000
"RebindOnResume"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Irsir1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000
"TransceiverType"=dword:00000000
"IntIR"=dword:00000001
"Port"=dword:00000004
"CheckForHangTimeInSeconds"=dword:00000e10
"BusType"=dword:00000000
"BusNumber"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1]
"Group"="NDIS"
"DisplayName"="L2TP NDISWAN Miniport"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\L2TP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000
"BusType"=dword:00000000
"BusNumber"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PPTP1]
"Group"="NDIS"
"DisplayName"="PPTP NDISWAN Miniport"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PPTP1\Parms]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000
"BusType"=dword:00000000
"BusNumber"=dword:00000000
Found these in Wiki (WM5 Peformance tweaks):
Disable menu animations
To disable menu animations (sliding in/out) and speed up performance of the UI a bit:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\AniType = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\AniType = 6 (DWORD decimal)
Disable window animations
To disable window animations (minimizing/maximizing) and speed up performance of the UI a bit:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Animate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to switch them back on:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Animate = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Increase font cache
To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like, but suggested values are 4096, 8192, 16384 & 32768.
Enable FileSystem cache
To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" below to increase the cache size.
Increase FileSystem cache
To increase the file system cache:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like.
Increase FileSystem filter cache
To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system filter cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like.
Most of these WM5 reg tweaks work on WM6 too. They are included in tweaking programs like Schap's Advanced Config, HTweakC, or HTCustom 1.8.
+WILL CLEAN UP DUPLICIT ENTRIES LATER+
nice tips....thanks
SIP
The SIP menu trick for Voice Command is worth mentioning here. Credit to whoever found it. It involved exporting the CLSID from the registry, deleting it and then re-importing it again. Speeds up opening the menu dramatically.

sorry for poor english...
Apologies to nothin. Really great tips. Thank you for your input.
Active Sync issues
"8. Make sure you shutdown the 'Activesync' completely after activesyncing your device with your PC. You can use task manager (X-Button), Magic Button etc or you can use memory applet in setting > System > memory; Running Programs"
I'm having some issues with this...every few minutes, ActiveSyc is present in my running programs. I thought this is perhaps due to direct push of emails.
I have disabled directpush so that I only receive email when I manually select send/receive and have only selected a 30 min window (8am-8:30am) for it to automatically check.
Can anyone provide some feedback so that ActiveSync doesn't automatically turn on?
Thanks!
Wow thanks for the tip about the system sounds. Disabled Event Sounds > At least 50% faster response time for my QuickMenu. Sweet.

Used to take several seconds to open the sip menu and now it's instant. Something to do with the system looking for CLSIDs that are set as input methods which is really slow.

Thanks a bunch, will try myself and frontpage it. Once again thanks for the tip.
Furthermore, i would like to know how to change the location of receiving file through bluetooth. The default is /My Document. I wanna change it to /Storage Card/My Documents. Pls advise.
Added some more Tweaks from the Wiki. Next update will be - links to freeware tweaking apps and formating/cleanup of existing entries.
Hell dude, I've been hacking these for ages and I have to say that your first point on the sounds is something I had no idea about - and it makes a great difference. Thanks a stack!
cool
i followed some of your advise and its really faster compared before
thanks man
bumping it up, how does one remove keyboards?

To add/remove items from the SIP list
If you have a few items in your SIP list which you don't use, they can be removed from the list by setting the IsSIPInputMethod for each item you want removed. To remove the SIP from the list, replace the $SIP_CLSID$ in the example below with a CLSID from the Set default SIP tweak.:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\$SIP_CLSID$\IsSIPInputMethod\(Default) = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To add it back to the list:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\$SIP_CLSID$\IsSIPInputMethod\(Default) = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Thank You very much. I am a tweaking enthusiast much like you and my HTC touch is working very well.
Another tweak I found was similar to this one
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Cl ass\SDMemory_Class]
"DisablePowerManagement"=dword:00000000
Instead of SDMEMORY_Class there was MMC_Class there too and it also had the disablepowermanagement option.
I've disabled that option so it does go into power management mode.

Used to take several seconds to open the sip menu and now it's instant. Something to do with the system looking for CLSIDs that are set as input methods which is really slow.

Hi, i do not understand? If i remove "HKCR\CLSID" and then add it again it's the same **** like before. Why should there be an increase in speed?
As others suggested (oseven) I've started a new thread for checking your opinion on this release.
To clearify, I am not affiliated with Fingertouchpro.com , but I saw many other keyboards advertised in this forum, that are not so good as this one, so I think it is my responsibility to make people aware of a great product.
Quoting from the product description:
"Fingertouch Professional is by FAR the best keyboard released for the Pocket PC platform. Big, finger friendly keys, fT9 technology, UltraKeyboard technology, predictive keyboard, multiple languages, drag-and-drop configurable keyboard, gestures, skins, magnifier, are just a few to provide an insight into the thought and research that went into developing this program. Entering text on your Pocket PC has never been this fast! "
The new release 2.0.RC-6 offers WM6.1 compatibility. As a note this keyboard also works with TrueVGA modes.
It supports several languages: English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian and Greek. More languages can be customized by the user.

There are several videos showing FTPRO in action, some of them work as tutorials, for showing some interesting features like: fast t9 input, resizable sip size, adding new words to the dictioanry.
I'm looking forward to your opinion. I'm planning to do a short comparison between the available keyboards.
There also is a freeware version of FT, see:

Ummmmm when did I EVER suggest you start a new thread? I suggested stopping preaching your keyboard all over the forum...
Does it address the following issues???????????????????????
eaglesteve said:
Macaby007,
Thank you for introducing us to another keyboard options. I'm constantly on a lookout for better applications, be it the task manager, file manager, or battery gauge. I don't have special allegiance to any of them. It is the same when come to software keyboard.
By now,I'd have tried both Finger Touch and Tengo for a very extensive period without any prejudice against either one,
I would like to offer my view,which happens to differ from yours. I hope you do not take offence that I have a different opinion.
For me, I look at the following issues when choosing my most favoured keyboard and I look at these issues not just for these two keyboards but all future one that come along.
Real VGA compliant
= = = = = = = = = = = = =
This should be the very first criteria for those of us using Tobias' wonderful realVGA utility.
The standard Finger Touch does not support real VGA, but the specially created version for PK ROM does. Tengo supports all threeall along. I would be generous, and consider Finger Touch realVGA compliant on all VGA devices, not just the special version on Athena.
Score Tengo vs FT: 1:1
Key sizes for ABC keys
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
This affects the ease of hitting the key. The larger the hitting area the better it will be to quicklyhit a key without missing it. Large hitting area is good whetherwe use stylus, finger,or thumb.
The Portrait mode Key size of the most likely to be used layout is measured. Size of Tengo Nano layout and layout 1 for Finger Touch are compared.
Tengo Nano key size: 108 square mm
Finger Touch key size: 56.25 square mm
Score Tengo vs FT: 2:1
Distance travelled to go from alpha key to alpha key
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Do you have to swing your stylus from coordinate 1,1 to 10,3? Does your thumb need to stretch to the centre of the keyboard, then very quickl bend unnaturally inward to reach for the z and m keys? Wouldn't it be much better if the thumb is relaxed around the TYGHVB key areas, and not having to travel to the QAZPLM areas?
Score Tengo vs FT: 3:1
The number of keys to choose from
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Typical keyboard has 26 keys to choose from when typing a alphabet character. A keyboard that groups these 26 keys into fewer keys means four things:
1) less choices means quicker choices.
2) less choices means less chances of mistakes
3) less keys means travel distan from key to key is minimised, hence faster typing speed.
4) less grouping also means we have larger hitting area, as mentioned in the preceding paragraph.
Tengo groups the keys into 6 while Finger Touchdoes not group them.
Score Tengo vs FT: 4:1
Direct access to numbers and commonly used punctuation marks
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
It is just more convenient to have these commonly required keys directly accessible.
Both the layout compared does this.
Score Tengo vs FT: 4:1
Screen real estate invaded.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Why do people want real VGA? It's because we value seeing more.
When we use a hardware keyboard, the biggest benefit is it leaves our screen completely available for the applications at all time. Software keyboard takes over some of the previous real estate. While we want large hitting area,we also at the same time want more screen space for the application, especially in landscape mode.
Can this contradiction be solved?
The most ideal keyboard would have a very low height but large hitting areas, yet having direct access to all alphas,numbers,and common punctuations.
Height of Tengo nano: 24mm - you see more
Height of Finger Touch: 37.5mm - you see less
Score Tengo vs FT: 5:1
Completeness of functions
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
The main things that I look for are:
- cut and copy, either using CTRL + XCV or special keys.
Both keyboards have CTRL keys, but Tengo also have special cut/copy/paste keys.
- delete last character or word.
Both keyboards can delete the last character, but Tengo can also delete the last word without needing to first highlight the word.
- Changing CAP for whole word or first character of word just typed.
In Finger Touch, you must decide to cap it BEFORE typing. In Tengo, you can do that, but additionally you can type first, then cap the first character or the entire word AFTER typing - I use this feature very often.
- completeness of symbols: while this may sound obvious and even taken for granted, there are keyboards out there with incomplete symbols. Happy Tapping keyboard does not have £ sign is an example.
Finger Touch has these [email protected]#$%^&*()/<>,.?`-=[]\;' ~_+{}|:"
Tengo has these symbols
@#$%^&()/<>,.?!+':"_ \` *¢ ;=[ ]{ } ~ £ ¥ € ± ^ ®© ™ |º § « » ¿¡ ¶ µ
These characters are in Tengo and not in FT:
'¢ £ ¥ € ± ^ ®© ™ º § « » ¿¡ ¶ µ
Every symbol in FT is also in Tengo.
- support for canned message,or fast keyboard. It would increase productivity a great deal to have phrases such as 'what are you up to' being inserted my choosing from an ordered pre-stored message list. This function is already available in the sms application, but having it as the keyboard function means other applications can benefit from this function too.
Both does this.
- Support for accented words such as café, and the ease of doing it.
Tengo does this. I don't see this function in Finger Touch.
- multi language support.
Tengo supports Danish,Dutch,English,Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
Finger Touch supports English. I could not find any information on the vendor website that suggest Finger Touch has similar functionality.
That's the list of functions I've listed but you may have others. Please feel free to mention them.
So, contrary to Macaby007's view in posting 1, I give the point on comprehensiveness to Tengo rather than Finger Touch.
Score Tengo vs FT: 6:1
Ease of updating the dictionary
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Like it or not, the standard dictionary will not contain all the words you use.
Tengo lets you add and remove words easily. I can't figure out how this could be done with Finger Touch
I would give Finger Touch the benefit of doubt and consider it capable of this
Score Tengo vs FT: 7:2
In conclusion, I still think Tengo is the best software keyboard between the two.
Cheers.

Dont talk utter **** you lying imbecile.

by all means advertise or ,promote a (your) product but dont try an take the piss ey m8?

Fex, I'm sure this kind of language is not tolerated here, and may I suggest you get a check for anger control...
As I already said, I only posted about FTPRO were I've seen ads to other keyboards.
You can see that all my posts are following some other keyboard crap (TP).
So if you're talking about advertising, you should discuss with those that started those initial threads.
I did this, because I need to show others that there are better alternatives, not to let themselves fooled by some cheap apps promovated on this forum.

People have, do, and will always make their own decisions. People have posted their comments about TouchPal, and they are just that - comments, not advertisements! This is a forum where discussion of opinion takes place, not advertising..find a billboard or something for that. You're just using this forum as a free way of promoting your keyboard as much as you can, and I for one am sick of it.
You've said your piece, why can't you drop it now?
PS: Don't pick up on Fex's language and then use it yourself.

Well you can change the keyboard's size, so by doing this you can increase/decrease the size of keys to the desired value. Alternatively one can use the various layouts included (they are 5 in the last version, each layout looks and performs differently so I'd say there are lots of options here)

The keys can be moved wherever you like. You need to go to settings and enable option "Allow dragable keys" in the Layout tab. With this option enabled, you can move the keys arround with a simple drag and drop. The new configuration remains even after a reset. Here is a snapshot showing where this option is located:

The phone layout groups 3/4 characters on a key. The last layout groups 2 chars on a key. So if you disable fT9, you can type quickly using only a few keys. Or you can keep fT9 to type fast, see:

Here is a nice features: You can drag and drop the keyboard, on the left or right side, to change it's height. Basically you get as much screen space as you like. Or vice versa you can have a full screen keyboard.
There's a tutorial for this here:

In FTPRO I found all the symbols I needed. Also, regarding special functions, you can do COPY (Control + C), CUT (Control + X), Paste (Control + V), but with FTPRO you can have even more:
- Select All (Control + A ) , I'm using this a lot
- UltraKeyboard. Now this is something not many people know about. Basically it's a macroing function, you can define short words, that can be used as triggers. Eg. typing the default !cap will do a screen capture. Or you can replace short words with phrases, eg: http1 with a web address, by doing so you won't have to remember address or even phone numbers, you can use these triggers to organize them all.

FTPRO supports English, German, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Greek, and not only the accents/ special chars (cyrillic for russian) but also dicitionaries that allow you to use the fT9 in those languages.
Several languages can be customized , but I didn't find instructions on how to do that yet. I believe there should be a tutorial for that. Looking on the installed files, there is a folder called Layout with codes for Unicode characters. I think those can be changed to obtain different layouts.

No anger here m8 just stating that your attempt at denial of affiliation is hardly believable.
As for tolerating my language im sure that others can see your attempt to take the "piss" and the your subsequent denial (that i still believe is full of "****") is worthy of dissing with a few minor curses.

Thank you for answering. I'll check it out later after I'm done fidling with SPB Mobile Shell to make it work with Real VGA at 96 dpi on the HTC Advantage. I appreciate it.
Ok have these settings working fine on my Topaz D2
Will this work to on the blackstone / HD ?
To basically use Manila in landscape mode, there are 3 registry mods needed:
1) Add string value to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila
String: EnableLandscape Value: true
2. Add string value to HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
String: TF3D Value: \Windows\manila.exe
3. Add string value to HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
String: TF3D Value: Manila
