Hi there,
I am using the Niki Project Rom v1.0 WM6.1 and when I apply the regedit to hide the SIM contacts, every time I restart or soft reset my Touch Dual the SIM contacts re-appear.
The \key I am changing is:
HKCU->ContrlPanel->Phone->ShowSIM
I change the Value from 1 to 0 and this hides the contacts.
After a reset this value goes back to 1.
Can anyone tell me of a permanent fix for this?
Cheers

In your \windows\startup\ folder delete "sddaemon"
It's the thing that's at fault for them always coming back IIRC.
Cheers
Thanks for this response.
What is the function of this file and in deleting it does it have any affect on anything else?
Cheers,
gjrober
To be honest, I have no idea. It's not in a lot of other ROMs, and deleting it when I was using the Niki V1 ROM didn't seem to break anything
If you're worried about it, back up the file to some other folder so you can return it there if something you use breaks - but it certainly didn't seem to do anything when I used that ROM.
You can use Schap Advantage Configuration Tool

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile MDA Compact III (aka HTC Hero) and I was trying to change some things in registry, also I owerwrited some dll witch had attribute ROM (using sktools). Now I have ppc with not working camera unfortunately. Will hard-reset fix my problem ? Will it give me correct registry and also all device dll to default settings ?
Yes, a hard reset will restore your device to the way it was when you first got it. It's like formatting your PC hard disk and re-installing Windows.
Hard-reset didn't fix
Hi,
I have the same problem. When I start up the camera I get the message, the camer couldn't initialize. I have SKtools installed. Hopefully someone has an idea.
as said above.press reset hole &2soft keys ("-")together then "yes-green bttn".or somewhere in settings is'Clear Storage'. btw, backup ur contacts... before

The golden rule to avoid having to hard reset is to always backup your phone before starting to mess around with the registry, that way you can undo any mistakes you've made.
I think that SKTools backs up the registry before deleting or changing some value so you may want to check up on that before hard resetting.
Hello,
i have a file called History in the main device memory and it keeps going larger and larger every day! it seems like it is a log file for every time i soft reset my JasJar. i can't delete it or rename it and the only way to open it is to copy and paste in other folder and then i can open the copy.
can anyone advise how can i delete it or disable logging events?
Regards.
Internet Explorer history perhaps? You periodically need to clear the history cache from IE if you don't want your memory to fill up. I haven't found a way to put a limit on it. It just keeps growing till the whole friggin memory is full.
hi,
thanks for your reply but this is not the case! it is stand alone file which keeps recordings a log file of each time the device reset.
i had all kinds of i-mates before but this is the first time i see this file!
Hi,
I have raised this question many months ago. I had it on my old ROM and since upgrading to the latest Orange ROM i still have it.
The answer to my old post was that it was a debugging flag that was left enabled by the ROM - so far I have been unable to find it in the registry.
The only option might be to backup your device, hard reset and when you restore from the backup see if there is an option to ignore restoring the history.txt file.
Its very annoying and before I upgraded my ROM the file was at about 750K - now its at 55k, and thats within about 2 months.
Let me know if you find anything else about it.

Hi,
i have also tried to find it in the reg but no luck! so what backup software are you using?
many thanks.

I have only used Sprite Backup and this does now allow selective file restoration in the root directory.
Might be worth seeing if SPB backup will give the option to be more selective.

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

Hi
I have the exact same problem and asked this question previously here, never got a answer

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.

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
thanks gfreek this thing worked fine...
Thanks for sharing
Well done and thanks a lot for sharing!

I downloaded and installed this but it didn't work. What did I do wrong??
tks,works well
I uninstalled Office from my phone with WM6 but the folder is still in the Program list.How do I get rid of it? ?And there is two calanders, I haven't installed anything yea, anyone know how to get rid of them?
clear temp
use clear temp application
hopefuly it will help u
it clears bad or unused registry entries
Didn't work , I still have the Office folder and the two calander programs.
You know of a WM6 ROM that has ONLY the WM6 stuff nothing at all extra?
reset!!
have u done soft reset after clear temp?
No, how do I do that?
reset
re-start ur device Buddy!
Soft resetted it but they are all still there. Will hard resetting it bring it back to the way it was when the ROM was installed?
definetly!
Any other ideas then? Or could you point me towards a really stripped down version of WM6 or one that works real good?
but remember to remove storage card n backup ur contacts etc. before hard reset!
I only installed the ROM tonight so I have nothing on there so no need to backup.
I have the same problem with xplodes 6.13.00 ROM, its worked perfectly for around 3 weeks now. Its brilliant work.Although i have more than one icon in my programs list. e.g two file explorers, two camera's
try using 3trd party software for clean, i'm using SKTools its remove duplicate shortcut, empty folder etc.
Does anyone have any ideas on this? I am looking for a way to have my custom ROM boot with the radio off (until I turn it on would do the trick also). My reason ... I turn off the radio, run backups, flash ROM (phone turns on), I get a text message (no contacts yet, so I don't know who its from) and I loose the message once I do a restore.
I will be attempting to write some software to auto-restore the backups also ... This would make flashing a painless process. When you are developing a custom ROM, there is a LOT of flashing.
Thanks.

Don't select "Delete messages from database" in PIMbackup while restoring.
That is my work-around ... I use SPB Backup on a schedule to backup every day. My work-around is to backup the "missed" messages with PIM Backup, restore my SPB backup, then restore just the "missed" messages with the "Delete messages from database" option selected ... The restore appears to hang, but it does complete if you give it enough time. I prefer SPB Backup because the restore is a LOT faster ... I have about 4500 SMS messages in my phone, and PIM Backup restores them quickly, but takes about 1 second for each one to load in the Messaging app.
Thank you for the feedback.
Try areas like
Code:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State
phone=0
wireless=0
I think I had these in a provxml and the phone would not start until I went into CommManager and restarted it.
There are flags under this key in subkeys like coldreboot, on and reboot. I am not sure what they need to be set to, if at all, but maybe this will head you in the right direction.
RoryB - Thank you ... I'll give that a try later tonight. I think I tried just setting phone to 0 already ... I'll play around with it and see if I can pull it off.
PS - I added a signature.
Ok ... I tried setting these two values manually in a running ROM using a registry editor ... This did not disable the radio. I am going to export my registry to a file with the radio on, and again with the radio off ... I'll compare these files and find the keys/values I need to set. When I find them, I'll post em here in case anyone else wants this functionality.
Start your device without SIM card after flashing. Do your restore and insert SIM.
OK, I've made a small exe for you, place it in UC script of
your ROM or execute anytime you want. It should disable phone
radio using TAPI interface, just like Comm Manager do (I think)...
the_ozyrys ...
It didn't work ... I mean ... The program turned off the radio, but the text message was already received by the phone. I think I have to remove the carrier settings from the ROM, then install via a CAB after the radio has been turned off.

or: lock the sim by a PIN code....after first boot, you have to enter the PIN for the SIM, if you don't, you do not get any service

So place it somewhere in registry startup (for example HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Apps) and add a PROVXML entry to delete this value during customization...
This sounds interesting. Would I need to change order of any apps in bootlauncher reg? I'll give it a try. Have a problem sometime with connection setup fighting with UC for screen.
Not sure if you "remove the SIM card" guys realize this ... This is a CDMA phone ... There is no SIM card.
On my device, the Apps key doesn't exist ... Just Services. Can I just create the Apps key? I was thinking something similar to this in the HKLM\init key "Launch##" values. Not sure which number to put it as.
Here is a list of the values in my HKLM\init

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]

Change Turnoffradio to 1, then it wont turn radio on, until you turn it on manually!

I did this, when the phone first boots it gives a cprog is not a valid wm program error message. I went to CommManager and system was in flight mode I selected phone to start. It shows selected, but never connects to service. I checked key and it was set back to 0. Tried reset and still no good. Taking it back to origninal.
Nevermind: there was a corupted setup so cprog did not work. Fixed that. These settings did not stop the radio in my phone.
I changed the TurnRadioFlag value to 1, and the "LOCK:Enabled" line in SDConfig.txt turns the radio off. The problem is, the radio is still turned on before this point, so by the time the radio is turned off, any pending text messages are already received. I even tried setting the ...
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State]
"Wireless"=dword:00000000
"Phone"=dword:00000000
Something a little different.
Try cooking ROM with cprog.exe called _cprog.exe and use something to rename it after you get started.
accidentially read through this 3d..
i suggest applying these lines in a rgu or app.reg if you use new bepe kitchen:
