WM6.5 Settings Menu structure - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi everybody,
I've asked in other forums, but with no answer , maybe here... .
How to change structure of Settings Menu in WM6.5? I want to move "Today", "Clock & Alarms", "Bluetooth" etc into folders (Personal, System, Connections):
Screenshot is from polish WM6.5:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Or where in WM6.5 I can find the Settings structure? I can find it neither in registry nor in files in /Windows folder .
Sorry for my English

...hope this helps:
1. Open registry using any registry editor
2. everything is in HKLM/Control Panel
3. Select the setting you want to move,
let say you want to move Clock & Alarms to Personal setting,
go to HKLM/Control Panel/Clock,
under Clock, change the value Group to 0
4. Repeat step 3 for other settings you want to move
Here are the values of Group
0 = Personal
1 = System
2 = Connections

Perfect
Thank You, bajok!. It Works!
By the way, it's amazing: Poland - Philippines, half an hour, and the problem is solved...
Thanks! See you

BTW, to move a control panel to the top level, use a value of "-1" (0xffffffff in hex).
I do have another question about this...
Not all Control Panels are defined in the HKLM\ControlPanel registry key. For example, you can add a regular program to the Settings by putting a link to that program in \Windows\Start Menu\Settings. So, how do you move that program to one of the other Settings groups?
As far as I can tell, anything that's in the Start Menu\Settings folder goes in the "System" tab of Settings. Is there a way to move it to Personal or Connections?
Furthermore, there are other Control Panels, mostly 3rd party software, that are also not defined in the registry. Any control panel with a .cpl extension in the \Windows folder will ALSO go in the System tab. I'm trying to figure out how to move them as well.
Finally, does anyone know how to define a new icon for these Control Panels? If a control panel is defined in the HKLM\ControlPanel registry key, you can, in general, create a corresponding link in HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Settings and add the icon to the Control Panel's key. But, if it's NOT already in the ControlPanel key, does anyone know how to add it to the Start key? I don't know how you're supposed to define it in the first place.
I've looked all over the web for any of the above information, but, so far, I've been stymied! Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

This is for windows 6.5 - how about windows 6.1 ?

Based on the name of this thread, I think you'll have to create a different one! Seriously, while the basic structure is the same, there are enough differences to warrant a different discussion.
For example, WM6.5 uses an entire registry tree to define icons, while WM6 and earlier use the icon.lnk method. There's absolutely no overlap there, although I suspect the structure of the Control Panel tree is the same.

Hide New Menu Icon

Hi,
I need to hide the New Menu icon which is present on the bottom left of the screen. I am able to delete all items from the New Menu by deleting the following key and all its subkeys from the registry -
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extension\NewMenu
However, the New button \ icon still remains. I need to hide or remove it completely.
Any ideas?
Thanks once again.
Best Regards,
Dav

Hi vijay555,
Thanks for help. I used your program 'Toggle New'. It works well but now I have the keyboard icon left instead. Any ideas on how to remove the keyboard icon as well? Thanks once again for any tips.

You should be using the newer version posted I think in the first post. Use that with the appropriate command line option. One of the versions in that thread fixed the SIP icon issue. I use that version, so it should work.

Hi,
Thanks again vijay for your help. Although your tool works well it is not going to work for my purposes. I need to be able to customize the build of a device and need to go via the registry directly at least to hide a bare minimum the Screen Rotation icon (now done), the WLan Manager icon (changing the value of the Subkey "Keep" does not work on my device), and hiding (if possible) the bluetooth manager icon. Running your exe is useful as it removes all the icons but infortunatley now leaves the keyboard. As the device will have to reconfigure itself following a hard reset, flat battery etc... I need to do all these things and cant really use a third party exe or pass a command line argument to an exe. So I really need to know what registry key's to change or edit to get these things done, and if these changes can be done via a CAB, exe or whatever... So any tips on what registry keys to tweak would be appreciated. Sometimes (as I'm finding out!) the reg keys are not given the most obvious name, and as yet i havent found any doco on what all the reg keys do...
Cheers,
Dav
Dav, not sure which version you're using, but the version I've been using for months was specifically re-written to fix the SIP keyboard icon issue.
There's a new release coming relatively soon that will have WM5 dual compatibility. It might be worth waiting, but the current WM2003 version in that thread, somewhere, should solve the SIP issue.
PM and tell me what you need to do in the registry. If I can help, I will.

Did someone try to remove all new menu entries? Maybe this would hide the menu (but have the bar itself remain).
Chatty, that wouldn't work AFAIK, but it would be easy to write a program to hide the new menu button if you needed to.
V
in relation to this topic, can we "ADD" some menu items in the NEW Menu button?
Yes, you can.
I think there are programs the let you edit the menu. Just not sure what they are.
You can also do it manually, but it's just a bit tricky.
Look at the first post. Find that registry key on your device and look at it's sub keys. Each of them contains a string that will appear in the menu, and the key name gives the CLSID of the object.
You can fined the registry settings for creating the object in HKCR\CLSID.
Thank you for the reply levenum. But i cant find any of the applications i installed in the HKCU\CLSID.
Hi oldsap!
That's the real tricky part. Not all apps register a CLSID and not all of them can create a new document from command line.
You could check how existing CLSIDs are structured, and try creating one manually for the program you want.
Unfortunately, that won't work for every program. For some there will be no way to add a 'new' shortcut.
Couple of different issues here: the dlls are published through their CLSID, so when you program a new menu extension you must have a unique CLSID.
However, having access to the CLSID doesn't do much other then let you add or remove those items to the existing New Menu.
But creating an entirely new item, eg "Create bluetooth contact" would require you to program that extension as a dll, and then add the unique CLSID to the registry entries above.
And to go back on topic, hiding the new menu button entirely is easy enough.

Adding memory settings/apps icon to HTChomeplug! How?

As the title says..does anybody know whats the (exe) file of the memory settings app?so I can add it to HTChomeplug (editing the reg entries etc...) It's driving me nuts I cant seem to find the file..argh.
Thanks for your help guys..
Hi,memory.exe is in the windows folder.You can also download it here if you don't have it.After you modify registry like this :
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\ and add a new key.Copy the same string value as the other keys.You can put what you want in there.

I agree with the above post, an example would be great.
My examples:
(4 and 5 are the locations on the screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\windows\iexplore.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\iexplore.exe"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\5]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
For me this works better:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"LaunchApPath"="\windows\memory.exe"
"ResPath"="\windows\htcicon.dll"
"iconindex"=dword:00000110
Otherwise the icon will be cut. There are icon versions in memory.exe in 16x16 and 32x32, but for HTCHomeplug 24x24 is needed.
BTW: I use the official HTC-ROM (WM5, GPS).
I notice that the two ways shown above used two different iconindex.
What rule, if any, needs to be followed in assignment of this index?
Also, am I right to assume that these icons would display correctly in qvga mode only?
Is there a limit, on the maximum number of icons that can be placed on the homeplug?
Thanks for the knowledge you guys have, our device is easier to use .

The meanings of the elements are pretty simple:
LaunchApPath = which file to start
ResPath = which file to get the icon from
iconindex = number of the icon in the file of ResPath
The file htcicon.dll contains lots of icons in different sizes. For me the 24x24 icon at position 110 works best. Try it for yourself, you can't destroy anything. The iconindex effects the shown icon only.
how does one know where to find the icon files? for example, i've created a spot for PHM Reg Edit in my HTC toolbar and it launches fine, but how do I know where to find the correct icon for it?
can someone post the cab here for HTC Homeplug ... it seems to be taken out from axel3 latest rom
thanks
Can someone tell me how to configure the HTC Home Plug? right now for me it is showing ebay, and other internet links, but i want the default ones (battery, portrait or landscape, etc).

Use an icon viewer. A good freeware is Irfan View (http://www.irfanview.com/). First open the program file (e. g. Memory.exe) with Irfan View and look for icons in it. Then try out DLL's (e. g. htcicon.dll). You have to do trial&error to find the correct index.
I've done the following:
1) downloaded the memory.exe file in Marcdu81's post and store it under \windows directory. (Since I could not find memory.exe in my window directory. I used total commander to search for the file, and could not locate memory.exe. Strange? My unit is a Dopod U1000)
2) Used Rviewer to look at htcicon.dll, and noted that memory's icon index is 110.
3) Created these entries using PHM Registrry Editor:
- New key with value "7"
- New Dword decimal value with value name "iconindex" and value data "110" (without quotation)
- New String value with value name "LaunchApPath" and value data "\Windows\memory.exe" (without quotation)
- New String value with value name "ResPath" and value data "\Windows\htcicon.dll" (without quotation)
I exceeded PHM Registry editor, switched off the unit for about 15 seconds, then soft reset.
However, the homeplug does not show any memory program after this.
What step did I miss out?

Did you create the key in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\? Are there already six other keys in this path? If not you should change the key name to the first free number.

I created it under the correct key, but it is the eighth application that I try to put on the homeplug. I understand that you could have 8, right.? (Based on the screen capture of posting no 2)

Well, I guess so. For me (WM5, official HTC-ROM) the following content of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug works (syntax is related to registry export, you don't need two "\"):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug]
"PowerIconSlot"=dword:00000000
"RotateIconSlot"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\2]

"LaunchApPath"="\\windows\\CommManager.exe"
"iconindex"=dword:00000067
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\3]
"ResPath"="\\windows\\htcicon.dll"
"LaunchApPath"="\\windows\\Backlight.exe"
"iconindex"=dword:00000066
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]

New "Touch concept" app (ThrottleLauncher Alpha)

Dead thread....

Hello Everyone!
I'm developping a Launcher App and I need some beta testing on it. I've tested it over some wm6 emulators and on my Herald WWE with Touch-it ROM. It uses .NET CF 2.0.
Basically it contains some horizontal scrolling list's. The scrolling can be performed by using the finger over the screen. It is fully configurable through config.xml file placed in the installation directory. Currently you can add 3 types of "elements" to each scrolling list or row (see config.xml for some examples):
- Icons: you can add the icon path (theorically every size is accepted) asociated command execution with parameters. You can also add the attribute "rowspan" if you hace some larger icons in the list for them to get more rows in the list.
- Allcontactswithphoto: this element will automatically load all the contacts you have with asociated photo. It includes a max attribute to avoid allocating all the device memory if you have lot's of contacts with photos.
- folder: this will add shortcut to all the files located in the directory especified.

Sorry, The screenshot does not contain the contacts photodial because I don't have contacts in the emulator .
Currently it doesn't allow:
- Changing between screen sizes (this includes landscape and portait). But it theorically can work with almost every screen size.
- Specify contacts to include in photodial.
Please, any feedback, advice or bugreport would be apreciated . And by the way, sorry for my english....
In the package there are also included some example icons taken from deviantart. I don't remenber the place or author I take them from. If someone find's them out please tell me.
By downloading and using this application you agree the following:
- Use this application at your own risk.
- This thread is the only place allowed to link to the file download.. If you like the app and you want more people to have it please place a link to this thread.
Interesting Will try this later

Ok, thats probably because of the languaje of the rom.... The programs folder of WWE ROM's is \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\..... You may have to change the path included in the config.xml 20th line, or if you tell me which is the Start Menu path of your ROM I will post here an apropiate config.xml file.
Any way, here you have a cab with config.xml without the line pointing to the folder. Just reinstall it...
\Windows\Menu Démarrer\Programmes\.....

but i found the prog in the \Program Files\ThrottleLauncher folder.
thanks
the new one work and its a good ide thanks
Nice concept.
And it's really fluid, but my only gripe is that the NETCF slows everything down...maybe a rewrite in C++ is in order eh?
Other than that, top concept 5/5
works on a touch... like the idea
Yes ,been waiting for someone to make horizontally scrowable rows.
But I would like it as a today plugin rather than as a today screen itself, because i miss a clock and apps that tell me about msgs and calls and stuff.
Very cool! Can't wait to see where this goes.
sprint touch
works as advertised on sprint touch...love teh interface, however is it possible to put it as a today plugin so that it can be used as a scrollable horizontal bottom bar or 2....something like a scrollable sprint home launcher...
it scrolls very smoothly though.
also, how do u add more buttons to the list, if its possible yet! how 'bout adding dynamic scrolling?
batcatman, you can add more apps by changing the config.xml. You can also add more rows with the elements described in my first post. To add another app short cut for example, just place inside a row tag in the config.xml a row like this:
<icon path="icons\Internet.png" exec="\Windows\IExplore.exe"/>
path: is the path to the icon.
exec: is the path to the exe file of the linked app
Thans to everyone for the comments. I will try to satisfy every request .
I vote for making it a today plugin. Would be much more useful.
this is looking very cool...nice work !
Looking forward for further releases.

Thank you very much. It works, and the functionality is great.
The only problem is it seems to have been made for lower resolution screens. The icons look a little bigger that they should, and most importantly, the font size seems to be twice larger than it should.
Is there a way to tell the thing to use smaller font?
Thanks.
Yes you can use Reshacker ( on your computer ) and rezize the icon by editing the exe .

No, I mean control panel applets inside the Settings window have 2x the normal size font, and slightly larger icons. I don't care about the icon size that much, but the huge fonts are a little annoying/hard to read ("Advan..." instead of "Advanced Network").
Here's an example:

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

If you mean to open a control panel applet in charge of backlight settings, this is quite easily done with simple shortcuts. I don't know how to open a particular tab, but the shortcut should read this string:
command line string - "\windows\ctlpnl.exe" cplmain.cpl,3 (on modern devices, I think).
I create shortcuts by this procedure:
1) download and install Total Commander: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
2)Start Total Commander and browse to \windows\ctlpnl.exe, select ctlpnl.exe, click File/>>>>>>>/Create Shortcut, chose "\" as destination.
3) Browse back to "\", select ctlpnl.lnk, click and hold, choose Properties, go to Shortcut tab, modify Target to look as the command line string I wrote before.
4) Click and hold on ctlpnl.lnk, and choose rename. Rename the shortcut to "Backlight.lnk" or "Power.lnk" or whatever you desire.
5) Select power.lnk, click and hold, choose copy/move, then Tree, navigate to \windows\start menu\programs, do "move".
Now you should have a shortcut to the power applet in the program list. It contains the backlight tabs.

Thanks. The shortcut is wrong for WM6.1 but I got "Powerexe.exe to work which takes me just one tap away so that's good enough for me.

It appears that cplmain.cpl,3 will open powerexe.exe on my Sprint TP2. Using cplmain.cpl,3,2 does not open the backlight tab though. I haven't seen anything on the web about powerexe.exe accepting command line parameters for opening different tabs though.
It's unfortunate when developers, who have a simple and consistent mechanism for doing certain things, decide to change it and lose some functionality at the same time.
well that's weird. I have a telus TP2 and cplmain.cpl,3 doesn't work...scrathes head.
Anyway...
Is there a simple way by any chance to make a wm6 app change the icon/text size?
(I tried disassmebling and understanding how it worked, and failed miserably - having no prior knowledge of the cpu and os architecture, that was to be expected.)

I found this yesterday when i was pissed off, that i don't hear sound notification,
that my battery is low and my phone turn off outside when i need it working.
My first "discovery" (maybe everyone know that, for me this is new) is that in \Windows\
is sound file lowbatt.wav and this file is sound of low battery notification, so we can replace in by any sound we want.
I lookin for registry assocation of this file and then i found how to enable "Low battery" possition
in Settings>Sounds and notifications>tab "Notifications">first drop-down list.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
To enable this option please import REG file from attachments. It casuse in this drop-down list appear "Battery low" option.
If you want to have this possition in your language, there is source code and you can modify "Battery low" from las line,
copy this whole code, paste to PC Notepad and save as "*.*" and file name *.REG and in next step send it to phone
and import to registry with Resco Registry:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:0000000F
"Wave"="\\Windows\\LowBattery.wav"
@="Battery low"
In attachment you can find my custom sound - alert sound like from Avast Antivirus.
Update (25-07-2010):
I created CAB, which enable "Battery low" menu and replace original lowbatt sound.
Update (15-08-2010):
I modified my CAB. Now "Repeat" option is unlocked too.
Unlock all notification methods
I discovered another thing: how to unlock all notification methods (except "Repeat") for selected
notification like in screenshot in first post.
All totifications are placed in registry in:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
and this branch's looks like {15F11F90-......}
(this branch corresponds for "Notifications" option in notifications drop-down list).
To activate all notification methods we need enter to this branch and delete DWORD named "AvaibleOptions".
This is it - all methods will be unlocked now (except "Repeat" of course).
Aditional notification positions in drop-down list
This is not good examined by me (because i discovered this yesterday),
but i found how show aditional notification possitions in drop-down list,
but i dont know for what exactly match.
Maybe someone from you guys (and ladies) can sniff arround this to help indentify it.
That are branch's:
{0D3132C4-....}
{3C781384-....}
{70C48D00-....}
{9DA772A9-....}
{A877D65D-....}
{B67B425B-....}
{C3465585-....}
{DDBD3B44-....}
This positions can be activated and appear on drop-down list by editing first string vaule (Default) and enter in "String" for ex. "UnknownNotification1".
Please if anyone feel, that can help with this, so let me know. Any help is welcome.
UPDATE (15-08-2010):
I looking for some info how to unlock and enable "Repeat" function for notifications and i found it on forum.
I decided to make REG Tweak to unlock this option for all notifications.
This tweak is CABbed like usual
Wow good work, just got my hd2 and want to mess with the notification settings.
Be great to see a cab that unlocks all of them including the unnamed ones so that we can choose in the normal settings
There is REG file which enable 4 hidden notifications. Other branch's dont having path's to wave file, so i ignore them.
When you test it i recommand to enable on screen notifications - it helps to indentify it.
Sweet,
Going to do some testing on my old touch diamond see if I can get them all unlocked even without sound, then that way people can set sounds and other options later.
good find mate
I waiting for replies about this new notifications.
I uploaded battery low alert sound to first post in two recognized formats: WAV and WMV. You can copy both files to \Windows\ folder to later select it in settings.
I added a CAB to first post which enable "Battery low" and replace original lowbatt sound file by alert sound form like in Avast antivirus.
Thanks. Just what I was looking for. I wasn't searching actively, but somehow I discovered your topic, which looks very useful.
I'll report my findings.
Grtz,
Mac
This is great!
But may I ask: At what percentage of the battery remaining will the notification "ring"?
10 and 5 % of battery. Unfortunely i dont know yet how change it to one-ring-per-procent.
If someone having English language ROM, please post screenshot from the same place like in first post.
Thank you.

All I did was apply the reg-tweak in the code of the first post, then I changed the sound to "Alert-Unlink" that is in my current EnergyROM.
Thanks again for the mod.
No problem. Thanks for screenshot m8.
work on WM 6.5.x, what about WM 6.5, is it work too??
Hi there. Can you help me find how to tweak Mobile Excel? Specifically, how to hide "headers" and "scroll bars". This option was always available since PPC2003, up to WinMo 6.1. But, strangely, it is greyed in HTC HD mini. Is it because of WinMo 6.5.3? Or is it because HTC intentionally disabled this? I don't know. But i like to learn how to unlock this important feature from the registry.
Thanks.
This is AWESOME! Thanks much for sharing!

Take a look on screenshots. From left side you have this on WM 6.5, from right - WM 6.5.x

First of all, thanks for your effort to look into my problem.
Phone is HTC HD mini.
Mobile Office is the stock that comes with it. Upgrading to Mobile Office 10 also inherits the same problem.
ROM is 1.36.707.3 (94538)WWE
ROM daTE IS 06/18/10
Problem: In Mobile Excel, unable to hide headers and scroll bars.
(My apologies. What is "PM"and "OT"? Where do i find these?)
