Registry vibration settings - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all,
I've tried to search for this information, but got overwhelmed with too much unrelated results, so I'll risk being called 'dumb' and ask.
Is there a registry key where I can get/set the sound settings of the phone? In particular, I am aware of the HKCU/ControlPanel/Volume key, but could not find anything about the vibration settings.
Ciao,

Me too.. nid to tweak da vibration.. I nid da vibration not that strong.. n like ON, OFF, ON, OFF... dont continuosly.. feel like will make my WM6 spoil faster..

Check out Treo vibe, I think it's just what you guys are looking for.

Additional information
I'll try to be more clear.
I want to develop a rltoday/batteryStatus theme, and would like to replace the top bar. I would like to show the sound state of the phone, and already found the registry setting to read if the sound is on.
I need to also retrieve the vibration status: any registry key address to spare?

Do you mean the vibration setting for the ring tone?
The only one I know of is HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0 it will have a string like av2pwr or something like that, the v standing for vibrate.

I am not sure what device you are looking for, but here is the registry for hermes vib button reg.
HKLM\Software\OEM\Button\PhoneVibrateButton,0x00010001,1

Registry Searching --> Developers or People With Registry

Hello,
I have a question. Maybe someone knows on this forum???
Where can I find the keys which change the speaker icon in the taskbar? Next tot the phone signal there is a speaker icon. It changes to vibrate and silence when selected. Which keys in the registry do this? How is this icon changed?
I kow it is possible, because some apps support this, but I can't find how to do!
Thanx for anyones help!
No one knows? Anyone should......
Where is this one switched in the registry? Which value changes???
Hope some can help!
Phone Profiles from JGUI can do.... So someone should know about this...
Help would be really appreciated, then developing can go on!!! With I hope an excellent product for everyone!
what makes you think that those programs use the registry to change icons or what ever it is you are talking about

Sorry, don't get your point exactly! I try to let the icon (volume icon) get changed programmaticaly, like it changes when changing the volume to vibrate or off.
I suspect that it is done bu the registry! Any other ideas? Anyone knows how this is done? Someone should know....
Are you actually wanting to mute the volume aswell ?
Try looking in HKey_Current_user\Control Panel\Volume (don't have a PPC here atm, so can't check)
Otherwise, I would export your registry, change the setting to vibrate manually, then export again. Copy both these to your PC and compare them.. there are many programs that can do this for you to make life easy
well maybe it's a function in the api / sdk / framework of the pocketpc phone edition
whats make you think it's set in the registry?

Well, that was the first thing that came to me. I saw it in the application of JGUI I stated above and though that it should be a registry value. I couldn't think of any SDK / Framework / API, because that would make it almost impossible to implement it like this.
The volume can be muted as well, but for now the muting volume and vibration is done already, but I am still looking for how to change the picture of the volume icon.
Rudegar, do you have any idea then???

The key you gave me indeed changes when setting some different volume settings. But I didn't find any key yet in that place which changes the picture I mentioned. Anyone?
Why could no one tell me about this? No developer has ever tried to hack this picture? Any ideas are welcome!
may lightning strike me down for posting a microsoft link here
but maybe the today screen is what you need to be able to edit to get what you want.
I'm not 100% sure, but it may point you in the right direction.

the registry has nothing to do with what you want to do.

What is doing the trick then? Why can't I manage to change these icons until now? Anyone??
those icons are located in one of the OS dlls. I believe that it's in the mfce300.dll Maybe you can change it creating a .mui for that dll but I'm not sure.

Vibrate on keypress?

Hello!
I often thougt that dialing numbers on the dialpad really does not offer enough fisical feedback to satisfy my perfectionism.
I tried a program called "finger clix" wich is mainly an improved contact manager but... it had a dialpad aswell wich offered tiny vibration as feedback on press. I have to say that the feeling of actually dialing a keypad really boosted.
Now to my question shouldn't it be possible to hack the built in dialpad of the Magician so it returns not only a dialtone but a tiny vibration aswell?
Anyone have any ideas?

...how about using search? it already exists and works...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23395&highlight=vibrate this is what the simple word "vibrate" brings up, when you type it into the search here...
cheers, lutz
Thanks lutzh!
To be perfectly honest with you I do use the search engine a lot actually.
I guess I wasn't very observant this time.
Thanks anyway for posting the link!
C.
you're welcome anyway
ciao ragazzi, lutz
There are a couple of dialer apps that do this, w the assistance of CE Dot Net. Beware that they eat up battery though.

Vibrate and Ring - Help, please!

When I set "Vibrate and Ring", the vibration continue during the whole playing of MP3 file.. :-( Is it possible to make th? vibration work interrupted?
Otherwise I can assign only short MP3 files for the ring...
Use 'Vibrate then ring' instead of 'Vibrate and ring' to solve this ;-)
Regards, M
But I want Vibration alo during MP3 play. :-( No other way?...
Not that I know of, even all profilers I've seen are using the default options.
Maybe one, like VIJay555 or Zendrui can built it?
Cheers, M
Maybe it is possible to set Vibration-time and Vibration-pause in the Registry??
Well it seems you can get it with PocketZenPhone
http://zendrui.free.fr/PZPForum/viewtopic.php?t=12
I didn't read the manual & hadn't explored it enough, Zendrui made it clear again:
zendrui said:
in PZP there are 2 kind of ringtone : "short vibrate and ring and "vibrate and ring".
The vibrate lenght is configurable in seconds "short = 1sec", "vibrate = 3 sec"
Probably other values can be possible ...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
& I must say PZP is a wonderful profiler, I can recommend it.
Cheers, M
Thank you a lot! I'll tryit!
Sorry - no success..:-( Only Vibration (long or short) then - the ring using MP3 file...
I got the same effect, too bad I really thought PZP was doing the job. Maybe I wasn't clear enough or maybe a magician reacts different in this case. Anyway I'll ask zendrui again.
Regards, M
Really! If it is possible to make short or long Vibration with the some software-tricks - so it may be possible to add some string into the Registry (by hands! Without any 3-d software - it's more constructive) to have Vibration work not continuously DURING the ring with MP3!...
But who knows how to do it....
When you open the PZPmode?.txt files in PZPmodes, you can see what Zendrui puts into the reg. for the different switches. Now only you need to know what they mean. Probably all described in a SDK or so.
Cheers, M
Thank you! It's really interesting, but doesn't solve the problem....

T9 sucks-pissing me off, please help me to delete

I am using the Jaguar 3.1 WM6 custom rom. I think there is a hack that re-enables T9 predicitve text, because every time I go and disable it in Settings/Input, it somehow re-enables itself.
I really, really HATE predictive text. It pisses me off. It is annoying. PLEASE, I have read the wiki's, searched the forums, googled...I am pretty sure there is a reg entry to permanantly disable this bane of my texting existence. I just cannot find it.
If anyone knows of a hack to disable or even delete T9 texting, please, I would appreciate knowing what it is. As always, thanks in advance for your time and input.
A little action makes for a happy woman
Cue the stripper music...
gyrate, wiggle, bounce, and...
BUMP
anyone find a cure to my T9 woes yet??? If there is a fix anywhere, I'd love to know about it. Again...thanks.
--->BUMP<---
Folks, still looking for a registry hack to PERMANENTLY DISABLE predictive text (T9 sucks). I want to go beyond Settings/input/etc...I want the damned thing off for good, never to return!!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Please?
I have seen threads in other device sections, but none for the Wiz. Also there is a cab in the "Black Diamond" thread that says it disables T9, but it would not work...it is perhaps sensitive to that rom. After 2 months, I still have not found where to look for T9 in the reg settings and purge this f**king thing for good...or at least disable it.
No replies? Maybe you're not asking the right people...
Can't even FIND T9 as a feature/option on my Wizard. Are you sure you're even in the right thread, here? Seems like you should post this to the Wizard WM6 thread, not the standard Wiz thread...

T9 is an option via settings/input. I had it on WM5 and it is still on WM6...I don't know if it is called specifically T9...but it is listed as word completion. I do not want to make a duplicate thread, so I won't re-post in WM6. I would like to permanently disable the WORD COMPLETION feature. It will often re-engage after a reboot, then I have to go in and untick everything. I don't want to even have to worry about that...I want it dead. Reboot or not, I want it to be set as keyboard WITHOUT any word completion settings...ever. I thought perhaps in the registry under HKCU/ControlPanel/Sip...but from there, I am unsure which action would kill the T9 feature.
If anyone has any ideas to help me out, I'd really appreciate the direction to go, so that I can disable word completion...for good.
Thanks.
Ok...so going into my reg entries...I modified the sip to be "0" from previously being "4". I powered off, not soft reset...but on power up, it restored to "4" again. When I go into Settings/input/word suggest and untick, it changes from "4" to "0". So what I am wondering is this...
Is there perhaps a different number modification I need to enter to permanently disable this, or can I just flat out delete this sip entry?? And if I delete it, will it just come back on the next reboot, or conversely, would deletion harm my device?
HKCU/ControlPanel/Sip/SuggWords = 0x0 (0) (when unticked...also via physical modding of registry) I would like this HKCU/ControlPanel/Sip/SuggWords = 0x0 (0) entry to remain permanent despite resets.
Help...please. I'm getting frustrated.
Hi... I have a similar problem.
I want to disable the predictive text functionality but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Even when I disable on the settings it still keeps prompting the words, this is really annoying when typing on IM.
Any clue to fixing this??
Were you able to find a solution for your case?

Vibration when typing a text

On my old Nokia 5800 when i typed any kind of text (especially SMS) the cellphone vibrated. In HTC HD2 i'm not able to find any option that enables this kind of functionality.
Is there something similar to this functionality in the HD2?
Thanks in advance from Argentina,
Christian.
If you have sense turned on scroll all the way to the end (settings) then hit personalise, then vibration and turn it on

i looked everywhere but there
Get a Registry editor
HKLM - Software - HTC - ezsip
add a DWORD key names "VibrationEnabled" without the speech marks. and set it to 1 for vibration or 0 for without.
I hope this is helpful cos i accidently renamed the Software folder to "d" and it wont change back! o well, excuse to flash
And... is it possible to create a folder to save sent sms?
Best regards!
