Modify registry - impossible?

I have a strange behaviour of my P3600.
I tried some tricks, using either Total Commander or PHM regedit, for instance to display both time and date on the upper right corner.
I make the changes but after doing a soft reset (button at the bottom near usb & IR), nothing happens...
and actually when I check the registry, my modifications just disappeared !?
does anybody experiments the same problem? any solution?
thx for any help

I've experienced this once after editing registry with Resco Reg Editor. After several times of trying, I realised I had to exit out of the application, i.e. shut it down completely not just minimising it, before the new settings are saved.
Again, thats with Resco, not sure about other reg edit apps, may have a similar issue, you never know.
Hope that helps.

Great it seems to work !
thanks a lot

It happens with TyTn too.

It happens with TyTn too. So it's kind of how the RegEdit programs write the Registry when exiting. I was surprised at first, but noticed you have to try several times.....
Buggy but it works.

changing messaging settings?

on wm5 in messages at the bottom would be the menu on the right soft key and new message for the left soft key. on wm6 the left key has been replaced by delete, how can I change it back?

I was still wondering if this was possible

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319468&highlight=collection
look for "softkey changer" in that first post.

are you sure that changes the soft keys in the messages application?
I have a soft key changer on my phone already but it only changes the ones on the today screen.....I'll download this anyways and see if it's different, although I'm pretty sure I've downloaded it before

yup....just downloaded it again and it asked me if I wanted to replace the one that was already on my storage card.....I said yes (maybe it was an update) but it's the exact same thing that only allows you to change the soft keys on the today screen. (unless I'm missing something )

so I'm still looking to change this. I don't like the delete key there since I rarely delete my sms messages but always reply or make a new one.

so is this at all possible?

if i was you i would just start living with it...it now that big of a problem

well I am living with it.....I'd just prefer it to be the way it was on WM5

HTC Home plugin Alarm configuration

Hello,
does anybody now where the alarm configuration tool is configured? I mean the application that is triggered when the HTC home plugin clock is clicked.
Nothing can be found in the registry and google and these forums are also 'fruitless'...
It is hard to imagine that HTC has hard-coded such a application in their application...
Greetings,
Peter Vrenken

go to Settings > System > Clock & Alarms.

I would like to start ptravelalarm instead of the standard Windowsclock touching the HTC clock. Is that possible?

This is exactly what i am trying to do... Just not with the ptravelalarm application
Is there anybody who knows how to achieve this?
Greetings,
Peter Vrenken

Is there noone that knows how to achieve this?

People have asked about changing the HTC Home actions before (normally the three buttons on the Home Tab, but I think this will be the same).
A lot of devs have looked at this and cannot find any settings that govern the applications launched.
Only thing left to do is open up your Hex editor and get hacking. (Let me know if you fix it )
Ta,
Dave

Jikes!
no thank you... :-(
Bummer...

you can just overwrite the clock.exe since u cant delete it. i promise u can overwrite it. my htc home opens a diff alarm program for me now . the thing is getting the alarm to change icons and it's just pointing htchome.dll in the right direction. I already have an idea how i just have to be sure how to change hklm to hkcu in registry and point it to where i want it yeah

overwriting clock.exe to the program u want works. only thing is to make the alarm on icon in htc home to pop up. I have located it in the htchome.dll... the thing is to change the values coz it is pointed to hklm for the indicator rather than hkcu where programs would be. any hex "readable" tutorials u guys can point me to so i can look into this better?

minimizing the "menu" on tp2 and

hi people, i would like to know what cab do i need to make this menus much smaller? i've found it before.... but i never downloaded it, thanks

You can use Advanced Config to reduce the font size in the menus.

thank you very much
But... I tried it and everytime i change the values, it auto resets when i restart... I'm using spb mobileshell by the way !

Really...strange. I've used spb and it has never fudged with those reg values.
When I changed the values in Advanced Config, I needed to soft reset before the changes would be applied anyway.
You can create a shortcut that applies the reg settings and put it in the Windows\Startup folder. Still that kind of hack should not be necessary. Perhaps you have some other program in Startup that is causing the problem.

you gave me the idea and i just tried... putting the folder on C:
and then i changed the values with the keyboard, it reseted... and stayed that way for a lonnggg time until i took out the battery and turn it on again
then I changed the value by holding the down button and then selected other stuffs and restarted and now it's ok
Thank you very much !!

Uhm...glad I could help, I think,

they should be a setting in the setup to do that.

Go to google, type in "htc small menu", click on the VERY first link you see. Brings you to a thread here at xda.
That's what you were talking about right?
If so then you're welcome .
Also: If you want to easily and fully customize the font for everything on the phone (size and font type), look into downloading something called ING Change Font.

HD2 crashes at soft reset after registry tweak has been done.

It happens every time I did a soft reset after applied some sweet (didn't get the chance to feel...) Tips and Tricks on registry tools (Resco Registry Editor btw...).
one huge question, DO I Really need to "UNHIDE" every files on my HD2 before perform any Registry Editing?
HOpe for speedy reply!
Cheers,

b.u.m.p!

more detail..
"it crashes".... how? does it hang at boot, freeze on home screen, what? we arent psychic
why would you need to unhide files to edit the registry? how are you applying the tweak?

alright. After did the tweaks with Resco Registry Editor. You have to soft reset them in order to take effect right? I did just that and just right after phone trying to load HTC sense, it doesn't make it through. the only button I can press was contact, phone, battery icon, signal icon. that's it. Not even the START button works. Message appeared on the screen was "Unable to locate "poutlook"...."
Oh one more thing. Do we need to wait for several minutes after we've done the registry tweaks before soft reset, ? will this prevent from
