SKtools...To be or not to be...?

I guys,
I have this doubt floating in my mind since some time...
If I run all sktools regarding cleaning and registry optimization, such as:
-Clean!
-Optimize!
-Tune Up!
-Invalid Registry Entries
-Invalid Registry Values
-Advanced Clean
-Registry Optimizer
Can it happen that it will wrongly detect some tweaks or corrections made by the cookers as errors in the registry and then eliminate them?
For example, if a cooker changes a value in the registry key to optimize something, Sktools can "think" that it's an error, and then change the key to it's default value, eliminating the optimization done by the cooker...
Is this possible to happen? Or can I use safely the tools from SKtools?
Thankx

I would recommend against using anything like that as it is possible your remove keys that make your rom unstable. Advice is install and stay as you are!

What???
Off course errors/mistakes could happen, but I think that some registry tool is very needed, specially in Windows mobile...
I'm not sure but when this kind of tools search the registry, they only seek for errors in the connections or links.
So I don't think they will delete any tweaks done by the cooker if the tweak is working good.

I use this software to clean up,remove stuff,optimize,tweaks etc... and I have never had any issues whatsoever,if you ask me it works like a charm that´s why I bought it and my xda is really stable all the time.
These are the features I use the most.
-Clean!
-Optimize!
-Tune Up!
-Advanced Clean
-Registry Optimizer
Once I flash I use "Tune up" to change the PIE cache location,cookies,history,messaging files etc....after this "optimize" for better perfomance/stability/memory it´s up to you.Once I´ve done installing apps I use "Clean" and that´s it.

It does remove needed registry keys/values, can't give a specific example tho, you better examine the list of items to be deleted one by one before actually deleting them completely.
The only thing I use from SKTools is FreeRAM.

Sorry.
To me looks like it works well.....I´m sure it´s my lack of knowledge,but when I set it up that way with sktools and it seems to work so well,that´s why I mentioned that.

So..... I've just installed a new rom, an before installing anything else, I installed SKtools, and made a search for Invalid Registry Entries, and it found a couple of them (around 6 or 7).
Is it possible that a ROM is cooked with registry errors already inside?...Or could it be that SKtools is not that reliable...?
And, should I delete those registry strings or not?
Bye

So, no comments/thoughts about this???....
Strange....

You better not delete any registry entries untill or unless you know what it's for. Say for example, if you see that these are coming from a programme that you have uninstalled from your phone, you can close your eyes and delete those. Even that also sometime is bad because, lot of them may be shared with other system stuffs.
I have found some blank registry entries and deleted them, later when I have rebooted the trinity, I had some strange errors(I forgot). Anyway, it don't bring any gains in cleaning registries for fast booting of system, but temporary locations or IE cache to increase your available memory yes.
The basic purpose of a registry cleaning(applicable for pc also!) is that , if there is any error message after booting up your system, or some special errors coming from a particular programme after it launches(depends on the message it gives!) , in that case, it could have been good to run those kind of registry cleaner stuffs.
So you can leave them.

I agree with Provat,
I would say that you have to be aware about what you want to remove.
I use SKtoll too but now I must be careful on what I do with that because on the past I have removed lot of things and the only solution was hard reset.
Nevertheless it's a good tool and it improves a lot. Personnaly, I only use "optimize for performance" option.

Is there a Cab for this ?

Google is your friend :
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html

Please, could someone tell me how can I find in SK Tools the FreeUP RAM and Optimize for Performance parts?
thanks

I used SKtools to uninstall Google Maps and didn't scroll thru the results as I usually do. It virtually left my memory card void. All I had left was a shell of a rom...none of the shortcuts worked...all my files were gone. I had to use a recovery program to get most of it back...I still ain't right. I wanted to use their cleaning tool...it came back with so many results and I thought about what happened and just canceled it. I'll stick Memmaid unless someone can tell me the proper cleaner settings for SKtools.

Well if you wantto select what you want to tweak. I recommend you to use Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3. It work very well with Topaz.
You can get it at the following thread.
Advance Configuration Tools v3.3: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
For 2 Ways In Call Recording you can refer to the two threads:-
Using ACR - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=528507&highlight=Ways+Call+Recording
Just to enable the 2 Way In Cal Recording you can use 2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording.cab but this you need to click record in order to record the call and it record to the main memory in wav format.
Just let me know what you need and I will try to lead you to the correct thread.
Cheers.

GOOD JOB
Nice working,i will try on my D2,hope it works
thanks again

Thanks to All
Hi All,
Thank you for your support and will look forward to the reviews from you guys.
Have a nice day ahead.

Advanced Config Tool
It would be great if you can merge the items from Advanced Config Tool customized for Topaz.
Thanks for your effort and sharing it with us.

Hi ili,
Personally I am using Advance Config Tool also but I felt that some of the tweaks are not compatible with Topaz so I went to look for the tweaks individually and try them out, but every time I need to key them in one by one. So that is why I came out with this cab file for the tweaks that I have used on my own Topaz.
These tweaks that I had complied are tested working fine on my Topaz and it safe me a lot of trouble when I hard reset my Topaz for testing purposes. Just need to install the cab and all the tweaks that I always used are load within seconds.
I think I have covered most of the tweak that has being highlighted in Advance Config Tool just that you can't change the value. And I believe Advance Config Tool is create for general usage not just target for a specific device.
Let me know which tweak would you like me to add in this cab. I will be glad to do so.
Cheers.

This means that your tweak does record automatically all calls ?

No, you need to click on the record then it will record if you want to record all calls automatically, I would recomend you to use ACR.
The tweak I use only enable the function of call recording which was disabled by the manufacture.
Feel free to ask me questions about the tweaks I would try my best to answer them.

Verry good i'am going to test in regedit.

It seems to be close to 'Diamond Tweaks', isnt'it? I read somewhere that HD Diamond Tweaks would work fine on the Diamond 2? I cannot tell as I have not received the Diamond 2 I ordered yet.

That is what I thought so also when I start tweaking my Topaz. Had tried both HD & Diamond tweak but it is due to the location that the registry are being stored it defer abit from diferent devices and Topaz also have its some uniqueness also.
So I came to understand it and started consolidating the perfect blend myself and guess this is what I come out with.

Don't know its my ear or what?
Hi people,
I don't know if its my ear or what? My Topaz volume is soft and sometime I have problem listening to the other party on the other line.
I came across this tweak for other devices and started trying it out on my Topaz and it seems to work fine.
So I decide to share it with you guys whom maybe having the same problem as I am.
Cheers\

Nice jobb

Hi Jumbo65,
Well this tweaks are actually tested on Topaz and proven working. I have not tested it on other device.
You can give it a try, the following tweaks should work becuase I used them before on my Kasier before such as the following:-
1. Enable SMS wake up event
2. Prevent screen switching off during phone call
3. Move Emails & Attachment to Storage Card
4. SD Card Tune up
5. GPS Tweaks
My advice is try it out with care make sure you back up before trying.
Let me know if it work on your device.
Cheers.

No it's not only your ear. There's at least one more person who's facing this issue, and it's me
I'll give it a try and thanks for sharing!

Actually I'm considering installing your tweak all together even if it means that I have to uninstall some of the features which I have on my D2 indivi dually (camera mods,SD Card Tune Up etc). I only asked about the option to turn on and off the call recorder app. because I don't need to record all my calls.
Thank you for this tweaks and for your interest.

In Play now in the software folder SE has made the Accelerometer settings available for down load and in the games section you will also see the games that had been deleted by MR1 update

yes it doesn't work as good as if you do registry tweaks yourself. SE should put a input/option to choose which program that will be associated with accelerometer. I can't find uninstall for it, but I guess I will take the good side of it; to use it as a on/off switch for accelerometer.

Here is the actual CAB

anybody knows where to get digital compass software for X2?

many thanks for the Mtechfan, i will look at uninstalling this and resetup the Accelerometer settings by the reg hack

installed this and i cant find any settings or anything except in registry it was the key that i manually edited was set back to 0 <-- (enable auto rotation)
went back to registry and changed the key to 1 and it started to work again without reboot

[Q] video playback not working!!!

When I record a video and I play it back it says loading and sound comes out but it's like white noise. I think it was a cab file installation that caused it. Do other people have this problem?

*bumpbump*

Have you tried uninstalling the cab you think caused it?
Do you have any details on what the cab was, what it is meant to do, and the name of it? Might help others in the future.

well i had SKTOOLS and pocket mechanics installed. I just uninstalled it. Tried playing a video. Still the sound.

ok i found out what the problem is but i dont know how to fix it.
after hard reseting it, the video playback was fine, but after i used the registry cleaner from pocket machanics the video playback stopped working.
so is there a way to get that registry i deleted, back?

BSB Tweaks 1.6 rotation problem

Hello...
I have installed BSBTweaks 1.6 on my HD2, works great...
but then i recently tried adding apps to the rotated apps, and when it soft resets, the list isnt saved. I have read that this problem existed but was fixed in version 1.6
anyone else had similar problem, please guide me through, will be a great help...
thanks
PS: i tried adding office apps (word/excel) to the rotated apps list, that is what didnt work, i didnt try any other applications...

everyone...i am tired breaking my head with this for 2 days now...please help...
everything (version wise) looks fine with V 1.6 for bsbtweaks, also have framework 3.5 installed, but dont understand why the rotation isnt working...whenever i add an application to the rotation list, bsb asks for a soft reset and the application is still missing form the list when i recheck it...
please help...

hi, just had a quick google on this subject, and although i couldnt find anything specific i came across lots of posts saying it can sometimes take a short while for the registry changes to take, and if you reset immediately they can be lost, , , the upshot being to wait ten seconds or so before doing the reset (although ive never had any problems, and never heard of this delay before, so i think it very unlikely.)
Another thought that occured was try installing "CERegistry editor", run it, connect your phone, hit connection - connect and once you can see your registry, click 'tools - unlock registry'
Not sure whether its connected, but worth a try, eh?
Plus, if all else fails, you can use cereg editor to export the rotation white list key whilst you have bsb tweaks open and have applied teh rotation tweak, but before you reset, and make a cab from it, see if it works after being applied as a cab.

Thanks Sam...
I have tried waiting for a while before doing the soft reset...
I will try to uninstall the BSB Tweaks and reinstall to see if that makes any difference...if not i will have no other option but do the regedit manually...
thanks for the help though ..cheers...!

Solved
Finally able to identify the reason for why BSBTweaks was not letting me add apps to rotate...
I guess the soft reset offered by BSBTweaks was not allowing the registry entries to be saved...so i didnt choose that reset option and instead did a manual reset by the power button...and when the phone started back, it worked...
so just make sure that we should add apps to rotate and do a manual reset instead of BSBTweaks reset...
thanks
