Hi max414,
Pls don't make me reveal too much secrets ;-)
VGSMail is an imap e-mail client, so I receive my e-mail immediately on my magician when it arrives on the mailserver.
VJstuff well like Carty says: test some & keep some. I use them for one handed op. So VJOkButt for really closing app & VJKeyPress to simulate the StartMenu button, both assigned to a hardware button by AEButtonPlus.
Registry hacks? Well I patched it to have Camera, Album, Intellipad, MidletManager & many dll's in \Storage\Windows instead of \Windows which saves me well > 4MB RAM. & I use some of these patches, which I collected since June 2005 on the board I didn't invented them.
I ran across some extra registry tweaks at Aximsite for the X51v which seems to have improved performance on my BA. The extra reg settings are
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=0x1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\Flags=40
The first two registry entries are already included in the wm5 fixes cab by mamaich but with a diferent value for the cache. I have been using the 4096 cache value myself already. I also tried the extra settings in bold and found it gave another boost to the PPC speed. Here is the original thread http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=104366&page=1&pp=20 Anyone else like to try and post feedback on their results? If confirmed maybe it can be added to the wm5 cab file.
Edit: Can anyone try setting this reg key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ MSFlash\FATFS\DataCacheSize=2048 instead of 4096 as above. For me it seems to work slightly better.
I also tried changing these two entries for PIE, unfortunately PIE runs so slow i cant tell if it has any positive effect

Disabling “Message Sent” notification bubble
For those who hates the "Message Sent" notification after sending an SMS, this is the steps to remove the bubble notification...this is the STEP by STEP method to do it in case some of you guys dont get it right...
1. First, you will need to download a Registry Editor to help you do it...

1. Creat new String value with Name = S1159 & Data = Am
2. Creat new String value with name = S2359 & data = Pm
3. Creat new String value with name = STFmt & data = h:mm tM
- capital letters and small letters must be followed exactly or it may cause hard resets!
- you will get capital "AM/PM" on the top bar eventhough the registry data value above was entered as "Am/Pm"
Change The Date on The Top Bar
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
Look for String value
SSDte (short date) and change the value data, some example of date formats i have used below:
- "7 May 05, Friday" by changing the String value SSDte data = d MMMM yy, dddd
- "07/05/2005, Fri" by changing String value SSDte data = dd/MM/yyyy, ddd
Clear Type on LandscapeDisplay
You'll get clear type font in landscape mode. made me dizzy though..not much functionality value..just some fun factor for us curious ones.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSetting
1. Change value data of OffOnRotation from 1 to 0
2. Soft reset
Setting Cleartype Text in PIE
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"ClearTypeText"<- Set 1 to Enable Cleartype in PIE, 0 to Disable
Setting ClearType Text in Pocket PC
Optionally, you can go to START>SETTINGS>SYSTEMS>SCREEN>CLEARTYPE

dword:000003E8 -> Larger
dword:0000044C -> Largest
Cheers, M

Playing with *vibrate*

Hi,
In the registry you can play with sounds for different phone events.
Goto HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds. You will see 20 keys that represent
different phone related events.
To make all your numerical buttons vibrate do this:
Dtmf0 to 9
Rename the original Sound value (dword) to Sound.org
Then Create a new string value called Sound.
Give it the text value *vibrate*
EDIT: 6 july 2007
Found CAB files to do the trick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1342900&highlight=*vibrate*#post1342900
No need to reset. Just open the phone app and press any number.
Feel it vibrate ;O)
Other interesting keys for this trick are CallDrop and Ending.
KeyPress is a special key. There you can only play with Beepmode
3 play all Dialpad sounds with long Dtmf sounds
2 look for BeepScript string that can be "p"=short or "l0"=long tone
1 silent only DTMF keys
0 silent all Dialpad keys
Cheers

Registry Hacks - FAQ / HowTos

I thought creating a thread that shows the various registry hacks might be helpful/useful/contructive/destructive.
I am still pretty new to all of this and would love to know what others have discovered to get 'more' from our PPCs.
Thanks in advance for the contributions!
I am using PHM Registry for my editor.

did you try searching? they are scattered all over this forum

That is why I thought it might be nice to have one location for them.

Registry Hacks - List 1
You can download and install PHM Registry Editor on your phone to modify the registry.
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Unlocking/Unhidding the extended_rom
\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV \
then change the value (default at 1) to 0
Wait at least a minute before doing a soft reset.
----
Get rid of the voicemal icon on the '1' key (3.16+)
The 3.16 rom has added an voicemail icon to '1' key which also caused my skin to look messed up. You can disable it:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunctio n\CDMA\
set the DWORD value
"EnableVoicemailIcon" = "0"
by default it is set to 1.

Reserved - future use

Reserved - future use 2

Reserved - future use 3

i think this is a good idea as well... since ppcgeeks is down. just fyi, there are some listed on sprintmogul.net and a couple other sites.

Your really aught to just keep editing the FIRST post and as people find new reg hacks you can add them to teh first post.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\Ena bleCache=0x1(1)

14-battery, screen rotate, and CommManager icons down in your tray
see cab in this post
http://ppcgeeks.com/reg-tweaks-06-19...,60.html#57690
--------------------------------------------------
15-Change Vibrate Strength
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB
STRENGTH_LOW set to 1.
--------------------------------------------------
16-Disable Ambient Light Sensor
KEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\BACKLIGHT set auto sensor from 1 to 0
--------------------------------------------------
17-how to get rid of some of thoes annoying sounds while on calls or making calls (or attempting), such as adjusting the volume,
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
Loudestincallvolume = the sound it makes when you turn the volume all the way up (that annoying little useless sound) delete this key to remove that
Quietestincallvolume = the same but for when you turn it all the way down
Networkdrop = the dropped call /w lost signal sound
Calldrop = caller hangs up before you do sound
---------------------------------------------------
18-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.
NOTE: I tried this on my 6800 and changed the v0 to v1 and now it doesn't have just one long vibrate. v0 sets it to vibrate always.
-----------------------------------------------------
19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER
To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)
-----------------------------------------------------
20-Change scroll bar size
Navigate to HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\ and tweak the following values.
cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 13)
cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)
-----------------------------------------------------
21-Save Attachments or the Whole Email on your SD Card
The Key in WM6 changed from WM5. In WM6 it is:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
For Attachments add "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments" datatype="string"
For the rest of the email add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox" datatype="string"
For the paths above to work, you need to have the Inbox folder and Attachments subfolder created already. You must reboot for them to take effect.
-------------------------------------------------------
22-add the AM/PM to your time in the title bar
To Add AM or PM
1) Open your registry editor (either PHM Registry Editor or Resco Explorer 2003).
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
3) Create 1st String Value: Name = S1159 & String = Am
4) Create 2nd String Value: Name = S2359 & String = Pm
5) Create 3rd String Value: Name = STFmt & String = hh:mm t'M'
6) Soft-reset
There has to be a space after the am or pm otherwise it will not display
Also
am=aM pm=pM
Am=AM Pm=PM
--------------------------------------------------------
23-Changing SoftKeys
Create the following keys and Strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3
112 is the left key and 113 is the right.
Set Default to what you want the key to read (ie. SMS)
Now for each key create a new string named Open and set the target path.
--------------------------------------------------------
24-This edit allows you to see the duration of your Vision connection along with a button to disconnect it.
You see it in the bubble that is displayed when you tap the Vision icon.
Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click ControlPanel
Click Phone
[at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone'
Click the bottom menu 'edit'
Select new dword value
Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes).
Select the 'hexidecimal' button.
Type 10
Click ok.
You should now see in the 'name/data' section:
Flags2 16 (0x00010)
When done, reset the device.

im usually not one to mess up my phone (ie im usually very cautious, dont play with what i shouldnt) but i wouldnt touch that ringtone modifying hack. i just tried it, hoping to set the ringtone more like it was on an old razr of mine (4vibes and a break) and it really messed up the phone application. like it wouldnt open. even after multiple restarts, everything. after i called my phone from another one, the phone app opened, thankfully, and then it started working but gave me quite a scare before that
EDIT- nope, that didnt fix it either. even after calling from another phone, once my 6800 is restarted, the phone app wont work again. god this will be the 4th hard reset this week. lame.

Duration of the rington
Has anyone an idea if it is possible to say the phone how long the ringtone should play till the phone hangs up and went into mailbox.
I mean is it possilbe to set the duration to eg. 30 sec or more till it hangs up.

I know there is a hack to stop ActiveSync from starting automatically but I can't find it. Searched here and PDAphonehome. Anyone have it?

Hey guys, I'm an active user on the Wing forums. I was wondering if there is such a reg edit to save SMS to the SD card instead of on the phone? Thanks for any details!

Ringtone Volume

I couldn't find a post about how to boost the rather feeble ringtone volume but after a bit of research I got to the bottom of it :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sound Catagories/Ring
The default value is 5, I changed this to 9 and now its good and loud.
Hope that's helpful to someone.

Wich key ? because none have default value 5 !

Thanks, this helped.

key: InitVol

I tried it on my Touch Cruise but doesn't seems to make any differences.
I still have to use WavePad to amplify my mp3 ringtones.

I think its most effective if they are wma.
Best if they are : 48 kbps, 44 kHz, mono.
I tested with mp3 and (by ear) it didn't seem so clear.

Tested with mp3 but the modification doesn't seems to change ringtone volume.
and when I soft reset my TC, the reg key come back to its default value 5.

Isolate MVC Annoucement from ringtone

I have Microsoft Voice Command 1.6.21725 running on my HTC Touch Diamond 2. I want to be able to have my calls announced by name & type louder than the ringtone in the background. This will enable me to hear the announcement clearly.
Now I have searched the net (BTW I dont use bluetooth so I dont need fixes for this) and have tried the following registry suggestions but it didnt work.
HKCU\Control Panel\Sound Categories\Voice Command1\AttenutationCategory
I set it from 3 to 7
I would also like to know what as5p means?
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script: change as5p to v0p (for vibrate and ring) or p (for ring only)
This is what I could decipher for script code. Any explanations or corrections would be appreciated.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
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.

Had similar problem, so disabled sounds in Sounds and Notifications, leaving me with Voice Command notifications only. Alternatively, possible to set up the system to short ding or vibrate just before the announcement kicks in (they are delayed slightly anyway)
