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.
faysel, over at the modaco forum has come up with this awesome cab that lets you get vibrating feedback everytime you press one of the number buttons in the phone. The vibration lasts as long (or as short!) as you press the button.
Great cab, very useful for knowing whether you have indeed pressed the key.
This is great, thank you. I used to use Redial with vibrating effect on my PDA2k (WM2003SE) but this is even better
don't expect a long battery life with that! :wink:

Are you kidding me? I mean what kind of a battery effect you think it will have? Its such a small vibe that I don't expect to have ANY noticable effect on battery life. First it vibes only when you dial phone numbers (how many a day? 5? 6? even 20? Its still nothing. Second, receiving a phone call, that is the vibration during it, probably uses more power than this addition will use in 20 calls...
I really disagree... :wink:
This is a great little program!
I don't like it because if you tap fast, it wont vibrate. In addition to this, there is a serious problem with the dialer after you uninstall it.
So I had to reinstall it and now i'm stuck with it
My rating : 0 (ZERO)
@Andrew_sh: use the attached cab to get the keytones back, then uncheck from the sounds and notifications settings to get a working silent dialer back.
@Koksie
Thanks for trying but unfortunately it won't fix it.
When I press the button , the tone will sound but if I press it again shortly after, it lags and makes a higher pitched tone.
Sorry to hear it didn't work Andrew, I have no idea how to fix this. I use the vibrate and am happy with it, on my Magician going back with this cab worked fine, I have no idea what is causing this in your Prophet. I hope you can figure it out and correct it, good luck with that.

Try this, it's a saved registry string of the original keys that the .cab modified. Hopefully i'll work for you without messing up anything else.
I had to rename the file vibrate off.reg.exe to ba able to attach it. Just delete the .exe part ie. vibrate off.reg
this is a technical forum
can someone paste here the registry keys which are being modified by this vibrate utility?
thanks
Using a registry editor navigate to the following keys and follow the directions. Do this for each of the listed registy keys
1. Rename Standard DWORD parameter "Sound" to "Sound1"
2. Create new String Parameter "Sound"
3. Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf#
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf*
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf1
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf3
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf4
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf5
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf6
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf7
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf8
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf9
this mod doesn't work fine for me, I noticed the vibrate a few time but it's not working everytime I tap on the Keypad...
Strange :?
Although the mod works fine, I had big troubles removing it again.
After removing the mod with the supplied cab file any keys pressed in the dialer would lag and emmit a short beep.
i finally succeeded in removing it manually:
First reinstall the vibrate mod again so that the keys vibrated again when pressed.
Then go into the registery keys posted above, deleted the parameter "Sound" and then rename the parameter "Sound1" back to "Sound".
Do this for all Dtmf keys.
Thats all
its true if you tap fast it wont vibrate at all.. very annoying. is there a way to make it vibrate for a set lenght.. much like the dtmf tones used to be.. no matter how long or short i press..
that would be very useful.
regards,
tom

I used this mod until I found out that I couldn't turn off vibrate on incoming calls anymore. I can't be sure that they are related, but the timing was right. The next time I did a ROM upgrade I didn't install it again. I use speed dial with Photo Contacts Pro anyway.

Never mind - problem fixed
Not installing on Tytn / Black2.5
"Installation unsuccesfull, Not meant for this device"
Did anybody have more luck? How?
I don't like this
...the vibrate just doesn't trigger some of the time, which means you can't rely on tactile feedback on dialling, which makes it fairly useless. Sorry...
buhahahaha

works fine on my Jamin. Great app
Apologies if this has been asked before, I did search first!
Is there any way to make a shortcut to point to the brightness tab (the slider) for the backlight? The backlight app seems to be accessible by MyCPL.cpl and Backlight.exe, but using the usual syntax to get to a specific tab, ctlpnl.exe mycpl.cpl,0,2, doesn't work.
Any ideas?

Give a try to cplmain.cpl,6 instead - see my related article at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=640&more=1 . Haven't tested this on my Universal but, given that almost all WM5 devices I've tested use this, I think it'll work on the Univ too.
Actually, mycpl.cpl,0,2 was only used on some old, ppc2k2 only models like the iPAQ 3660
Nope, not working. cplmain.cpl,5 gives me the 'about' app and cplmain.cpl,7 gives me 'screen orientation' (cplmain.cpl,7,2 gives me 'text size', etc.) but cplmain.cpl,6 (cplmain.cpl,6,0 etc.) does nothing.
'Backlight' is accessible using MyCPL.cpl and Backlight.exe as I mentioned, but unless the syntax is different for these than file.ext,app,tab, neither allow you to make a shortcut to a specific tab
Interesting, will also give it try
Hi!
I am looking for such a method, too. On my device works cplmain.cpl,6. But that only leads me to the backlight options. I cant figure out how to go to "Brightness" cause hats waht I am looking for.
In the end I want to dimm my brightnes with a hardware button.
Anyone an idea? Or an programm that does that? (PocketPlus dont work for me)

If I remember correctly, there should be a button on your universal that changes the backlight setting. If you press the button on the side with the lightbulb on it (next to the slider) the brightness of your lcd changes. Tap multiple times untill you get the disired effect

I´m sure he/already solved this issue, last post have more than a year old
And by the way, this is HTC Universal section
On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me
There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?
thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after
Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0
ah, excellent, thanks
just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.
I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)
I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?
Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!
Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry ormz.
I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?
lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second
someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?

What are you looking for? Are you tryting to navigate to the registry through file explorer? If so, you need a reg editor to do that...
You know this is an old thread, right?
yeah i know its a old thread... i had a registor editor.. actually acouple. i found what i was looking for.. just didnt start with hkml.. thanks though for replying..
Hi all
I am kind of new to this, so I hope I have put the thread in the right place. I have searched for some of the answers, but can not find them, or the threads are 100s of pages long and knowing where to look is a nightmare.
I decided to update my phone with the latest official HTC Roms from their website (2.53.405.5 (76952) WWE). Unfortunately there are a few things that I like the old way, and now I am not sure if I can go back to the original Rom that came with the phone.
- I now can not use custom sounds for my message alerts, I have put them with all the others, and made them to be the same file size, mono and all that, and they don't show up. I can use them for ring tones, but not message alerts.
- I used to have the message alert light set to constantly flash until I had read the message, so if I am away from the phone I could tell I have a message. That bit is still there, but it is grayed out so I can't have it.
- When I lock, unlock the phone, go through the menus and go back to the "Today" screen the clock will go from say 10:13, to 09:13, then will roll forward to 10:11 and then the last two minute digits will roll over to 10:12, 10:13 again? Why is this.
- Is there any way of removing the weather from the "Today" screen, it looks very nice, but the phone seems to come to a grinding halt and that added with the time thing mentioned above is also very irritating.
If anyone knows ways around these it would be much appreciated, if not is there a way of returning to the original Rom that the phone came with, I notice the HTC website said it was not possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi spigot, thanks for the help.
I have installed the cab for the silly rolling animation, and that has sorted that out.
I have installed a program called FdcSoft TaskMgr wm2005_3.1 to alter the registry values, and have found the "AvailableOptions" one, but don't seem to be able to alter it.

Drop the sounds you want for messages directly into thw windows folder. they will be available.
Thank you codhunter, it worked .
Not sure why they would change it between roms / versions, it used to go in the tones or whatever it was called with my original one.
Also your changing the value in available options to 15 for the message LED notification worked, couldn't work spigots out above.
Thanks
Glad to be of help
i'm just learning too, SQueal. Stick with the new rom. any problems you have will soon get ironed out with the helpful guys on here!!!

You must download the plugin registry editor, using Total commander's settlings.

You don't need any plugins. Registry editor is part of total commander. If you press "\" button in uppert right corner (in total commander), you'll get to root part and the first folder is called "\\Plugins", there you can find FTP, LAN and registry editor plugins.
Has anyone else noticed how much smaller the sms text message is? You have the ability to change the text size for the ones you read, and the one in with the screen alignment, but the text still seems really small.
Is there a way of doing this in the registry as well?
