As this is your first windows mobile phone, I would strongly recommend ignoring that 1st sentance, and just enjoy the phone as much as possible. Then, when you know it better and have some idea what you'd like to do that it won't let you, come here and search for things (only ask after searching fails to find anything ).
If you've not had a windows mobile phone before, jumping into editing the registry and modifying system files is a 100% sure way to brick your phone. It's easy when you know how, so take your time and learn.
Other than that, welcome to XDA and the world of Windows mobile
Quite a lot of the registry tweaks can be don't in a user friendly way using a program called BSB Tweaks.The latest version is 1.6, so have a search for it here and install on your HD2.
That will probably keep you tweaking safely for a will.
thks for valuable advice,as now,i have come to understand why do i need to install the registry editor,however,i do not know the history of the window mobile phone,so can someone enlightened if there is any version on the registry editor and where can i get this.
Thank you in advance
There is a beta version of the Resco product you mention, which can be downloaded at their forum. This is the most convenient on your new touch capable device.
Please remember that playing around with registry settings can brick the system. In such a case, you will have to hard reset your device.
Also, I can only second what the other posters already recommended. Get to know your product step by step, especially with registry changes. Once you understand, it is no magic thing.

PHM Regedit "Import" grayed out
I am trying to import some previously saved reg files to my HD2. I just installed PHM Regedit from this thread but Import is grayed out on the Tools menu.
How can I import a registry file? Running the reg file directly opens PHM Regedit but does not import.
Thanks in advance!
I have used Win mobile for 4 years now, but just found XDA for 2 months ago.

Sorry for such a newbie question - but which app is everyone using to access the registry?
Many thanks
Chris
Total Commander http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm is freeware and works a treat.
Thanks!
Chris
p.s. is there an app which can be run from a pc to do this (i.e. over the usb connection to the wizard)?
Hmmm, i tried Total Commander on my new O2 Mini S (WM5, English IMate ROM) and couldn't get it to work. is anyone else having this problem? anyone know of another reg editor that works on my device?
Thanks.
lskb
I don't know of any software for editing the registry via USB connection, sorry.
wubaguba
Did you use the tcmdpocketarm download from http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm for install from the device?
HTH
wuba.. could you tell us exactly what part of it isn't working ?
I've got it installed - and it works fine.
If you want to edit the registry, go to the "\\" dir, then enter the registry.
I don't use it for editing the registry, though - it's not really well-suited for that. I do use it for *searching* the registry, however - as it's just VERY fast at that (it'll find all hits and display them in a list on the screen).
For the actual editing, I use PHM Regedit - it's free
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
Try this one - it is based on the PC and works across the USB
Thanks, flashgordonv, I had found the Mobile Registry Editor site but the user comments seem to suggest that it doesn't support WM5. Have you used it on a WM5 device?
Chris
i use PHM registry editor, and am happy with that.
http://www.snapfiles.com/get/pocketpc/phmregistry.html
Sure....I could not go back up the directory structure when trying to locate a file. that was the main issue but there were other minor annoyances like not being able to see the bottom of the screen after my windows keyboard popped up. the version i tried was this one...
http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe
Btw...i couldn't get to the PHM editor via the prior link but this one worked...
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml
Sorry, can I ask the dumb question about which of the many cab files it produces I should copy onto my Qtek9100?
Just to confirm mobile registry editor works fine. I recreated my comms manager entry with it yesterday.

Most registry editors are compatible with WM5/ the Wizard. See http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/menneisyys/UltimateRoundupOfRegistryEditors.asp for more info.
What version of the wizard have you got mobile registry editor to work on?
I get access denied when trying to write to a HKLM value on a VARIO 1.6.2.4
Do we need to unlock RAPI?
If so how is this done?

Did you do it with the desktop-based MRE? It indeed won't work - HKLM is protected against outer access (see this article for more info on this new, WM5+ protection). Do it from a PPC-based registry editor - I've tested with Resco and it works flawlessly.
I use ROM version 1.5.X so that I can write to my Extended ROM. Hope this works with 1.6.x too. If not even Resco is able to modify anything under HKLM with ROM version 1.6.x, let me know.
Yes I can use local PPC based reg editors ok to edit the HKLM hive, but I wanted to get the PC based one working as it is more convenient to remote edit.
On the MRE web site it talks about blocked remote access and MS tools to reconfigure RAPI, was wondering if anyone had managed to find a configuration that worked.

It doesn't work with remote editors. Dunno whether this restriction can be circumvented. Use a PPC remote controller app (see http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=514&more=1 ) for this to make your life easier.
Can someone please give me a link of a registry editor that they recommend and preferably one that I can dl directly to my phone and install it from there. Id greatly appreciate it.
Total Commander
You'd find yourself lost for starters if you searched for the registry editor function in totalcommander.
You need to go to the root of the device, and go into "\\Plugins" from there to reach it.
Download this one. I think (besides Total Commander or so) it is a must have, because you can edit your registry from your PC, no need to install on your phone at all.

If you're going to edit the registry, be prepared to do extra independent research to check and double check what you're changing so you don't mess something up.

I use: CeRegEditor
It is easy to use from the PC, and have great features like, import/export, backup, and the very important compare feature (e.g., you can do a backup, and than after installing a program, compare the registry to the backup, so you can know which changes the program did).
And of course its free...
The guy wants one he can use on his phone and so do I. Any suggestions? A cab link would be divine but not necessary.
on my touch diamond on Mak's ROM's thrre was an app im sure it was ph registry editor ill see if it works on hd2
maybe next time a little research and post in the right section.

Reg Editor
The reason im asking for one to be installed on my phone is that I have it synced to a Mac.
Boot Camp
i would also like to know the answer to this... boot camp isn't the answer, nor is parallels, thats not what he is asking for...
i did use resco i think but the flashed new rom and haven't got it anymore so can't be sure. its not freeware either i believe?
any info
Does anyone recommend a program?

No offense but a little bit of reading is absolutely necessary. The way how to enter the registry is already described in the thread you quoted:

HKCU is short for HKEY_CURRENT USER and HKLM is short for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

First day with HTC HD2. Been reading alot of the threads and to be honest i am soooo lost. First smartphone been a nokia user for 10+ years
Want to download a registry editor. Done that. Went to my Laptop; MY computer found my phone; copied it to the phone; But cant find the file.
ANyone please help.
Thanks
I'm not purposely being unhelpful here, but it's where you copied it to!
When you copied it to the phone, how did you do it? Did you do it through windows explorer (using active sync). If so, if you open the same folder (via your PC), is the file still there?
If you go to active sync and select "explore", I believe it opens the "My Documents" folder in the root of your phone (not your storage card), so try there.
On my computer; the phone is coming up as a 'removable device' i then copied the registry file in to 'my documents' (in the HTC HD2) but noting coming up.

Your computer is using your HD2 as a micro-sd card reader in that mode. Unplug the phone from your PC, and your SD card will be shown in File Explorer (on the phone) as "Storage Card"
thanks; do i install in device or storage card?

Come on mate! You have already started a thread regarding your intention to pimp (destroy?) the registry. No need to open a new one each time.
So, try to open the file explorer and search for the registry editor you copied to your phone. If it was a cab-file you will have to install it from the device. If it was an exe-file you will have to install it via ActiveSync from your Desktop-PC / Laptop (in case it is not a standalone windows mobile program).
Best regards

I am having difficult time turning my HD2 to Hd7
Everything is OK except for HTC Connection Setup
it says same thing: "Carrier doesn’t exist in the database
Can someone please help me with this problem and what i need to do to make my HD2 turn into HD7?
Thanks in advance
You have toinstall XMODDeployer.xap, that app will deploy the correct settings to change the phone into a HD7 to My Ringtones. Use TouchXplorer to copy those settings to the Windows-folder. Then run HTC Connection Wizard and it will pass everything and work like a charm.
thanks for the reply Silberpfeil3110
I already did the steps above
this is what i did
unlock the phone with ChevronWP7
run Tom XAP Installer as a administrator
install XBMODDeployer
install TouchXplorer
on the phone i launched XBMODDeployer which copied the CustClear.provxml to ringtone. I copied that to the windows folder using TouchXplorer
then i launched the Htc connection setup
same problem
"Carrier doesn’t exist in the database"
any idea what the problem is ?
I had the same problem...and the only way i changed the registry settings was t side load "TOUCHXPERIENCE REGISTRY EDITOR". A little tedious at first, but worked. Now, i have everything working and when i need to do a registry tweak, i don't have to us any deployer, i just go straight to the entry and edit. Hope this helps.
You can get it on the webiste...just google it.

Most of the packaging programs like 7zip can open *.xap files because they are also only archives. Make sure that you don't open that *.xap file ^^
You can open xml-documents by using notepad.

The problem is that Connection Setup doesn't have any data for some of the smaller carriers. You could just borrow someone else's sim card to activate it and switch back to your own afterwards.
Hi guys...
I hate the search sensor button, on my Omnia 7...
I accidentaly pressing it all the time, I want to disable it, or even make it work differentely...
Is there any way, how to change its functionality?
And theres another thing... How can I change the default search provider via Registry on the DFT rom?
I found this tutorial, but cannot find that registry keys, shown here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...99&postcount=5
Thanks for the answers...
Nobody answers, but finally, I found the solution, how to change the search provider.
On mango, just add the registry key:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchProviders\Google]
and there a new value of:
"URL"="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&site=&q={searchTerms}"
Don't forget to set the Search provider in Settings - Applications - Internet Explorer...
And it's done
im on DFT rom but i can't do anything in registry. when i try to add new value registry editor is closing and phone going to home
@ Jonage - Thanks man, this works with me
@ eselcuker - please check that your phone didn't relocked after you first connected it to Zune after flashing DFT rom. For the Sammy Rainbow DFT ROM, you need to make changes on the registry by deleting the value on the PortalUrlint and PortalUrlProd both are under the DeviceReg before connecting device to Zune otherwise it will relocked. Please read the thread on the Sammy Rainbow DFT to find out more.
