HTC Magician Camera Profile::Testers needed

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you might give me some suggestion and comments about the application i just developed, well its my first ever developed app for smart device so i hope u don't mind. For HTC magicians only i guess unless other models have the same registry structure for the camera settings.
Features
-Save profiles
This application allows you to save settings and name it as profiles, thanks to kta and deuxani for providing some configs which i made as preset in the meantime.
-More camera settings
-and some more...
Just try it out
Known issues:
-Profile has no immediate effect
If any of u guys know how to make immediate effect after modifying registry please let me know, afaik i had to do a soft boot or just click on "reset" on the camera settings.
-Error if click 'Apply' on empty profile
Well, haven't put any exceptions handlers just yet, need to know more bugs first
Need comments about ease of use and user interface also bugs if u happen to find any. I try to make it as simple as i can. Thanks all.

Great!
Just installed it! Works fine!
Excellent, maybe a little addon after you select a profile directy start the camera ( this is the reason you start it )
Keep up the good work!

First Thanks on this Idea!!
Will test further and report back.

What do i wrong ? It doenst do anything for me except show me the frame rate ... :?

Thats what i meant by "immediate effect" which i haven't figure out yet, you must go to the camera settings and adjust and click on "reset" because I was able to change the registry for both settings (ie. Contrast and Contrast_User) but i think the camera needs something so it can "refreash" and get the values from the registry which also does on the ambience. I hope someone can figure this out..

great job adit
if you are looking for more advice about developing this plug-in.. I suggest to post this topic in the Development and Hacking forum.
keep up the good work :wink:

Nice job, and its working.

I've tried this app and i have a problem:
in the registry i have 2 values for each parameter (for example brightness and brightness user)
The software change the non user value but if i softreset my Magician user's values becomes default. I must open configuration and reset values and they becomes like the non user values.
Is there another solution?
I've also tryed to delete user keys but after a SR they are again.
Sorry for my english

The application changes both default and user (default ie brightness, and user ie brightness_user). I did this to make sure that even after a soft reset since the effect does not change immediately, the values are not changed. If you find it inconvenient, i'll rebuild the application so it changes only the xxx_user (ie xxx=brightness)? For the time being, if you want to reset the settings to the original state change all values in the non user to '5'.

Desperate for Louder Phone Volume!

Can someone please help me edit my registry to get louder phone volume...I have played with all of the values in audiogain and audiogain(x) and have successfully made me sound louder to other people, and made the speakerphone much louder, but I really need to get the earpiece volume louder. while driving, common road noise to loud enough to drown it out. Thanks...

Don't touch audiogain but HKEY current user/controlpanel/soundcategories/ring : put 5 in initvol and speaker.Repeat the same at HKEY current user/controlpanel/soundcategories/ringpreview.
You can change registry settings with MobileRegistryEditor.exe.

The initvol keeps reverting back to 3 on a soft reset the ring stuck though also in ringpreview there is no ring or initvol keys are we supposed to add these?
Thanks!

If u don't have these DWords you can add them. I did, it stays but no real improvement.
May I suggest using a more elaborate Registry Editor, such as Resco's. After changes, to keep them permanent, one must:
1. exit the reg edit program from the appropriate menu
2. shut off the PPC (to force writing the changes to flash)
4. re-open the PPC
5. immediately perform soft reset to restart with new changes
Anyway, as said, no big improvement is apparent. Must probably wait for a new ROM update.

I want also my volume a bit more then what i got now. So i looked it up in the registry but they where at 5 so now iam thinking can i set them to 6 or higher ????

Louder microphone
I have the opposite problem, in that the microphone gain on my Itech S38 is too low and people say I either sound really far away or they can't hear me at all. If anyone's messing around with the registry and find a registry value that ups the gain on the handsfree profile, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks!

PS: I saw all the ones under HKLM\software\HT\Audiogain, but there are a few of them and I'm not sure which ones would work.

Curious behaviour after hard reset

Hallo community,
my Ameo showed some problems since yesterday:
The Screen brightness when running on battery couldn't be adjusted anymore. It stayed always to lowest level.
Soft reset didn't work, had to perform a hard reset therfore.
Now there occured some curious things:
When choosing "Einstellungen (settings) - System - Beleuchtung (Illumination ?) - Helligkeit (Brightness ?)" I can only adjust "Energiesparmodus (Energy saving modus ?)". Until hard reset I had had two settings "Battery" and another for a connected modus.
Another thing:
When choosing "Einstellungen (settings) - Persönlich (personal ?) - Menüs(menues ?)" there are some menu items twice. It is "web'n'walk", "Nachrichten" and "Tray Display". "Web'n'walk" and "Nachrichten" are both ticked and I cant untick them to remove from startmenu.
How to remove these double items from the menu and how to untick these unnecessary items ?
Dieter

Sounds like a good time for a second hard reset.
Did you restore settings from a backup thew first time? That could be it.
I did have some "baby growing up" issues with my Athena the first go around. I tested, re-tested and generally <censored> around with it.
After I had to hard reset, and I tried to remember what worked, and what didn't.
Keep in mind, nothing works perfect but things can be worked around.

Had the same problem and this post from Daryl Mushtaq solved it for me!
-----------------------------------
hi Devany
not sure if you managed to find a resolution but i too had a similar problem.
i think mine was caused by phonemanager (which i have since uninstalled)
i found that when on battery power the slider in backlight settings did absolutely nothing. the only time the backlight would become brighter was when the alarm was going off.
searching throught the registry i found the solution.
navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\controlpanel\backlight
change the onoffbat key to 1 (mine was set to 0)
once done press the power key down for ages to reboot.
my slider now works fine.
hope this helps

Sorry - is a Newbie question:
how can I search the registry on a mobile device ?
how to navigate to the HKEY ?
Dieter

There are lots of registry editors for PPCs I use resco reg editor because it came with resco explorer but there are plenty of free ones.
As always with registry editing BE VERY CAREFUL you can easily brick your machine if you don't know what you are doing.

Thanks to confucius.

registry keys

Hi Everyone:
A small clarification is needed. My device is defaulting to Moscow GMT+3 everytime I restart it. I want to know actually 3 things if possible:
1- What's the registry key that allows you to select the regional settings?
2- How can I know the table code of countries like Moscow is 0x00FFXXX, etc... for the various time zones.
3- I noticed sometimes that whatever registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> nls, they are changed everytime the system restarts. I was assuming that nls\overrides is doing that but I altered everyting and yet after restart new values appear in nls keys and even in overrides. Is there any other place in registry that writes values on top of nls upon restart?
appreciate the help,
Cheers

I have a similar problem where the backlight timeout setting (on battery power) resets to 10 seconds everytime I turn my MDA off. Really annoying.
I've tried changing the setting in the registry directly as well, but it still changes back.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott

It is strange that something keeps changing the reg settings.
I had the 10 second thing on my Jamin and it seem to have something to do with the screen lock plugin.
Never did solve it.
Locale settings are in HKLM\nls DefaultLCID (dword) and you can find all possible values here.
But the time zone is set in HKLM\Time\TimeZoneInformation and its a bit complicated (its a whole data structure and not just a value)
I think you need to check your startup programs (HKLM\init and windows\startup).

Thank you for your reply and for the great link. I am starting to feel that this problem is related to HTC Home. Appreciate if anyone can comment on this issue.
Requesting Moderators / Admin to move this post to the appropriate board

I've been playing with the new PDAMobiz ROM and discovered that in Settings->Phone there is an option to sync time with the cellular network.
Unfortunately this will also force your time zone in to what ever the network is set to which at least in my case is incorrect because the network operator did not want to bother with DLS settings.
Perhaps you have this setting on as well?

List of unsolved registery tweaks. Need help.

Ok a lot of fun can be discovered from changing registry entries and seeing what they can do. Here is a small guide:
If an entry has a 0 it means it is disabled or off. If it has a 1 it means it is enabled or on.
Remember and make a note of any change you make in case you need to put it back.
Search for common words in the entries and see what they relate to and if they can be changed Eg:
disable, enable, show, hide, lsk, sms, boost, cache, icon etc. Go through each one. Make any changes you want based on logic of the entry and reset maybe. Go to the app where you would expect to see the change and see if your tweak has worked. If not change the reg back again.
Report back here any discoveries or potential discoveries you come across and maybe we can give advice on what should be changed in the reg entry.
Be in the frame of mind you may need to do a hard reset as a last resort so back up PIM first.
I will make a list of new potential tweaks soon and maybe someone could advise on how we can change it. Any changes found will be added to the hints and tips thread.

Here are a few to get started. Please respond with ideas if you can help and submit your own findings too.
1. HKCU\Software\HTC\WebSnapShot
Enabled currently set to 0.
Which app would use this if we enabled it?
2. HKLM\Drivers\BuitIn\GSensor
EnableShaking currently set to 0.
Sounds useful somewhere.
3. HKLM\Services\MyPhoneService
IsEnabled currently set to 1.
If we disable this if we don't use MyPhone will this free up some services/resources/memory?
4. HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Common
DisableCapAnimation currently set to 1.
I presume this means some sort of caputre animation when taking a photo (like the iphone when the iris closes). I tried setting this to 0 to enable it but saw no animation when I took the photo. Maybe something else needs to be done.
5. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging
DisableCacheWhenLengthierMessage currently set to 1.
This mean cache is off with long sms messages. If we turned on cache would this be good?
6. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging
ManilaEntry currently set to 0.
I set this to 1 but could not find any change. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
7. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCSettings_Improvement
HavePersonalSecurity currently set to 0.
I have set this to 1 and a new option suddenly appears in the Manila Settings tab below About Phone option. It is ABPS, ISP, network location service (Personal Info Center). However tapping on it does not open it up. Hmmmm...
8. HKLM\Software\Tegic\T9
Prediction is currently set to 0.
I thought T9 prediction is already part of it? What could this do if we turned it on?
9. HKLM\Services\Windows Live\Plugins\Mail
Max Mail Headers currently set to 50.
Dy defualt Hotmai only downloads the last 50 messages. I tried changing this entry to 75 but no luck. Anyone else?

Anyone want to get involved? I think it could be a good challenge and we may discover a gem of a tweak.
