How do you make registry changes take effect without a soft reset

I am trying to change some registry settings to do things such as 'adjust volume settings' 'adjust backlight settings' 'turn bluetooth on and off' etc etc.
I want to use mort script to make the changes but so far I haven't figured out how to make the changes take effect without a soft reset, even when making the changes with a registry editor.
Does anyone know how to do this so that the changes take effect immediately?
Any help appreciated.

two things:
1st: all of the things you mentioned above should work without a reset. the best thing to do is change the reg value manully and if it works with out a reset then you know the problem is in the mort script
2nd: If you know how to edit xml files then download this cab and edit the xml file how you want. this should help some

this has a lot of apps in it you will be looking for the one that says tweaks

Thanks for the info irus,
Like I said, using a registry editor to change the settings does not take effect until I soft reset.
For example (and i'd appreciate it if someone could test this on their phone) changing the values in HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume...."Volume" and "Ringer" to 0 assuming it is not already set to silent does not actually turn the phone to silent until I soft reset.
Could someone please check this for me and report back.
BTW I'm using a Trinity (HTC P3600) with AX3L's LITE ROM.
Thanks in advance.

I tried it and it did not work, you sould try to edit the xml file in the program i told you about and try it there. when i get done with homework i will try it my self

Registry value is read by windows while loading. In case of desktop pc if you restart the explorer process the registry gets loaded. you need to find some way to load the registry again.

Hide SIM contacts on Touch Plus

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
ND

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.

Backing up and restoring registry

Hi everyone,
i've done a search and couldn't find anything (is the search function working?!).
I want to flash to the new HK WWE 1.72 ROM but I have made quite a few registry tweaks (from the tips page) and don't really want to make them all again. If I backup the registry, how do I restore my changes?
I tried with my last flash and the phone sat at the boot screen forever (with the radio/ROM etc. info screen).
Thanks for your help.

Any help please? Would like to flash today

You need to dig into the registry, export your edits into .reg files manually, then reimport those after flashing. Or find a program that can backup the whole registry, but only reimport selected items. A full restore will indeed screw up everything unless you use the same ROM.

Ok, thats what I thought. Suppose its easier than having to rewrite them all again
Thanks for your help.

Need help restoring dtmf* key

I did the hack to turn off keypad sounds. I was lazy, and deleted instead of renaming. I deleted one key too many. I need to restore key
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf*
Could someone please post the info needed to add this key back. Like dwords, values etc. I would really appreciate it. Having trouble with my phone, which required 3 hard resets. I really don't want to have to do it again.

I can help you out:
so first you have hkcu/conrolpanel/Sounds/dtmf*
Then you have: hkcu/conrolpanel/Sounds/dtmf*/category and the data is: feedback
hkcu/conrolpanel/Sounds/dtmf*/script and the data is: p
hkcu/conrolpanel/Sounds/dtmf*/sound and the data is: 10

That fixed it. Thank you very much! I really appreciate it.

wifi on in standby

Guys,
I'm new in this forum so I wish say hi to everybody...
Then, I have an HTC diamond 2 (original rom) I've searched for the topic in the forum and I found just a solution working in my phone.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515808&page=3
I've downloaded the cab and everything is working fine, but, because on soft reset all the values return to the original one I'm forced to install the cab everytime, so it should be easier to create a button that is going to modify the following parameter in the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
Is it possible? There is someone helping me?
I have to keep on the wifi in order to use my voip...
Thanks in advance,
Markuz

You can export that registry key and just insttall the registry instead of the cab if the settings aren't sticking.
