... and I need some help....
so... i have an HD2... and i want to get rid of each customization after each new coocked rom that i install....
althoug i searched is still hard to figure it out how to do all the stuff... so i'll just post a small request and if someone has time maybe will give me (and the others) a little help...
i need to automize the following...
install a set of cabs:
cookie home tab
advanced cookie home tab
cookia home tab editor
resco explorer
total commander
1% battery indicator
this is easy through UC
cutomization:

remove all locations - add my home city
regional settings - my home country
internet default location set to internet (by default it sets itself to wap)

with the os customization i know i need to insert somehow the registry settings... but i don't know how.... with chteditor settings and facebook i guess is still registry settings but where and how?
I've seen sashimi... but still... I know how to use it... I don't know how to configure it...
So... plz HELP...
lots of cooked roms have an auto instal feature. put all your cabs in a folder called autoinstall on your sd card then when your phone boots after a flash/hard reset will install them.(let the phone sit for 5 mins when it first starts up, thats when it installs them.
as for the settings, build your own cab. I use wince cab manager. takes a little time but once its set up you just run it after everything else has finished (don't auto install it, cos the cabs don't necessarily instal in the right order. so for example you instal an opera tweak then install opera your tweaks are overwritten.)
my tweaks cab installs my custom lock screen, enables htc magnifier, tweaks opera cache and user agent, decreases screen sensitivity, and a few other things.
Even better, heaps better, get sashimi, study the tutorials, then you can choose which cabs to install to internal meme, which to sd, what reg keys to import, what static files to copy where, and if you need it, add scripts, certificates, run EXEs, whatever you ask.
I use mortscript for doing customisation stuff.... I generally run nrg rom's which use XDA_UC, so I can drop .reg files in the folder and it adds them on rebuild.
Code:
#Backup Ringtone Settings
outfile="\storage card\xda_uc\RingTone.Reg"
If (FileExists(outfile) = 1)
Delete(outfile)
endif
key="ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0"
Category=RegRead(HKCU,key,"Category")
SavedSound=Regread(HKCU,key,"SavedSound")
Script=Regread(HKCU,key,"Script")
Sound=Regread(HKCU,key,"Sound")
WriteFile(outfile,"REGEDIT4^NL^")
WriteFile(outfile,"^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & "\" & key & "]^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""Category""=""" & Category & """^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""SavedSound""=""" & SavedSound & """^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""Script""=""" & Script & """^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""Sound""=""" & Sound & """^NL^",true)
That is from my backup script. Creates a .reg file with the settings for the ringtone stuff in to the XDA_UC folder so my last ringtone settings carry across
thanks guys....
use the installation of software i got it... and if the rom isn't UC capable i can do it with sashimi (i have seen the tuto videos and read the doc)... also with sashimi i can do my email settings...
what i didn't understand is how to build my customization.... i just search every registry record... write it down.... and then what?.... sahii says to put it there somewhere... but not exactly how to create it.... and what if a custom thing it is not present only in one place like user or local machine?...
don't understand your question. But to create the file, use the regexport tool. You build an INI describing which registry keys you want. The tool extracts them and creates a backup file for future re-deployment.
Been searching for a topic like this for a while!
Thanks for starting this thread!
I too am a flashaholic and REALLY get frustrated at having to customize EVERY time you flash...
Installing apps is easy, dump them into the UC folder on your SD card and voila.
The tricky part is getting the Regional Settings and Time Zone sorted. I tried exporting these settings from the Registry and putting them into the UC folder, but it still doesn't work...
Just use SASHIMI. This awesome soft does everything you mentioned above!
BTW: SASHIMI has a big help-file/HowTo included and you can find good video-tutorials on youtube as well.
i'll try sashimi more... and get back...
so for sashimi... actually you need a clean install with all programs and customization manually made and after that export the registry settings?
ok.. i've found CeRegEditor... with this I saw that I can export my registry... now I need help in order to localize all settings I need... and to avoid to miss regs that are placed in more than one place...
disable my location, manila tabs config - just the order in witch they are and the tabs i don't wanna show... and cookie settings for home layout - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
phone ringtone set to K.O., sms/mms set to alert fader high no vibrate, email set to alert shine no vibrate, missed call no alert, ring type set to ring no vibrate - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
I don't know if it is enough for the mentioned settings or if they appear in other places also.... i found out that ceregeditor only exports folders not single keys...
to export whole paths of registry keys, just go into totalcommander's registry editor, in double folder view, then COPY the selected folder of registry keys to a physical folder on the device, it will transparently create a .reg file
To import the reg file back again, either you use sashimi, or you COPY the .reg file from the memory into the registry with totalcommander
Pretty impressive huh
ok.. my first try was a mess....
i used sashimi... put the cabs all together.... this worked ok... although i have to change some names to install them in the correct order...
i made some reg files with CeRegEditor via activesync on the computer... i've put them into reg folder.... but nothing was imported... i think the format was not ok... at least i know what regs i need for the moment...
and last... i made an xml via sashimi/makisu... but this didn't worked either...
i'll keep trying....
LE: ok... it seems that i managed to make with some of the registry... with the xml file for the active sync i'll try more tomorrow....
does anyone know where I can locate facebook credentials inside registry.... not facebook the app but the sense integration...
and also where can i find the registry for
alarms
removing weather cities
removing timezone cities
setting regional setting to a specific country
thanks

Let's start a thread of all the reg tweaks ppl have come up with. If they are saved as .reg files (to an SD), we can install them with a mere double-click by using TRE (options>associate), and anyone can contribute to this post WITHOUT having to build .cab files! Why is this kewl; cos when u hard reset it's a real ball-ache to go back into all the forums to find the tweaks u applied and to navigate thro TRE to re-apply them all. This applies particuarly to settings (Owner info etc). Over and above, we are no longer beholden to tweak shareware, but have full and instant control over our settings.
Each tweak should have 2 reg files; Apply the tweak, and remove the tweak (if possible). In this manner, we can have a directory of reg files, and can turn on and off tweaks with a simple d.click.
Attached is a basic set I've compiled. Please let everyone know if any are a problem (ie perhaps whole key gets replaced and overrides something u have already changed). Files described below:
[*]Reg Date_In_Titlebar ON.reg
Adds the date to the title bar, with format according to your short-date format under settiings>regional (or found manually changed in another Tweak I'll cover later). I do NOT have a .reg file that will undo (ie delete) this new key, but it's easy to see what key is being added so u can delete it. <Credit: Well known PPC tweak - I probably learnt from toenailed>
Can someone please find out where we can change the font for this - it's a horrible bold font that doesn't fit in the space available?
[*]Reg Font_Menu_+_Pop_700 ON.reg
Change menus and popups to a smaller font. Nice size, makes VGA look more VGA-like, yet not so small that it fails cleartype nor looks daft. Requires a reset. <Credit: Well known PPC tweak - I probably learnt from toenailed>
[*]Reg Font_Menu_+_Pop_900 DEFAULT.reg
Reset above change to default of 900
[*]Reg Font_System_700 ON.reg
Changes system font to 2 pts smaller. I find that dialog boxes with radio buttons got a bit wierd, and you don;t get much more screen estate height cos of icon sizes staying the same in file lists, so I don't bother with this tweak. Requires a reset. <Credit: Well known PPC tweak - I probably learnt from toenailed>
[*]Reg Font_System_900 DEFAULT.reg
Turn above off
[*]Reg GPRS_+_3G_Always _On DEFAULT.reg
Awesome tweak to make sure ur phone connects to GPRS/3G and stays there. However, you'll want to switch this off overnight etc, which is the main reason I created this post and these reg files. NOTE: you will absolutely HAVE to replace the "MTN SA Web" bit with the name of your connection which you will find in this key using TRE
<Credit: BrettS http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30277>
[*]Reg GPRS_+_3G_Always _On ON.reg
Turn off the above. Remember to change connection name in file
[*]Reg PIE_Homepage_Default.reg
When u press the E (explorer) keyboard key u go to clubimate homepage - annoying. This resets that hard button to whatever u want (current reg file is windows\default.htm)
<Credit: I forget, someone on clubimate forums>
[*]Reg TerminalServices_Cache_Larger DEFAULT.reg
AWESOME improvement in Terminal Services client horrible black blocks. Increases cache sizez - I did not notice an increase in traffic/cost
<Credit: Carnivor from MS KB http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=29996>
[*]Reg TerminalServices_Cache_Larger ON.reg
Turns above off
More coming as I go thro the wiki and toenailed tweak posts and extract usefull ones for us lonely Universal users...
can you add the actual keys to here?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
cos of this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=30396
Doh! That post came up after I started this thread.
Still this thread is useful for the actual .reg files to same n00bies some time (and to save me time too). I'll make sure everything here is duplicated there tho.
Here are a few more .reg files:
Several versions of date_in_title_bar (covered above)
Hide_Screen_Rotation icon
Hide that icon that allows u to rotate screen - but JJ does it automatically so Icon is not so necessary
Regional_settings
These are for me - u should edit file in text editor to customise 4 yourself. Best part is my short date format that keeps date in title bar small and visible
Ringtone_settings
Customise as above
Screen_Speed_Glyph_Cache
Double your screen cache. COsts a LITTLE memory, and improves screen size
Screen_font_'smaller'
Set screen font size to "smaller". This can be changed in "settings"m and I only include it here in line with my suggestion that we have a collection of files to run quickly on reset. You may want to customise as above
SIP_Settings. Ditto
All in updated zip file.
I would really appreciate if anyone can find a way to get rid of the Last Call in the dialer screen... I know its somewhere hidden in Registry, but I dont seems to be finding a way to get tru it...
Having the Last Dialed No. showing rite up on the Dialer Screen is really bothering and if you happened to press the phone button by mistake twice there we go the last dialed no. has been dialed already for you....
Bump: no-one contributing to this learning?
haven't found anything else worth posting yet m8, u got the best ones already :wink:
craigiecraigie4: Thanks for these - great idea!
I have a suggestion:
HKCU/ControlPanel/Backlight sets the backlight duration for the keyboard (in seconds). It's available through the control panel, but I like it set to more than the CP maximum of 10 seconds. Sorry - I don't know how to create a reg file.
To reset, choose another value in the backlight control panel applet.
Don't have any others to add though
Found another one:
Change the width of the vertical scroll bar and the height of the horizontal scroll bar so they take less room on the screen:
HKLM\System\GWE
Change cxVScr to (say) 10 to make vertical scrollbar narrower. Default value is 14
Change cyHScr to (say) 10 to make horizontal scrollbar narrower. Default value is 14
This change affects various scroll options in the system including the up/down arrows in selection boxes. 10 is a nice size.
This one is in this forum:

Any body remember these reg tweaks from himalaya? they still work
*** Speed Up Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
1. Open your registry editor o_n your Pocket PC
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768
4. Close registry editor and soft reset.
*** disable start menu animation
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\

Nice one dude. I can't make the .reg file cos I can only create reg files of the entire key, and there are too many other things under GWE that users may have changed.
Internet Explorer
Somewhere in those forums I found the IE reg hack to make mine 5.5, this helps connecting to my bank account and viewing other secured sites.
read this somewhere
To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex'
The 'IsEnabled' DWORD value should be set to '1' to enable OBEX and '0' to disable OBEX.
For example, to enable the ability to receive fles via Bluetooth
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1
says receive so i dont know about send, try it!! might be it
But apparently now this is the same feature as the receive incoming beams setting in connections.
Yes, I know that's not free but 90% of all this hacks have been included in Tweaks2K2. And the other 10% are about to be included :twisted:
Yeah, true. Idea of this thread was to have a facility whereby a hard reset can be quickly restored to a working device - install a few basic apps, run the .reg files, and there u go. Takes me about half an hour from HR thro to up and running perfectly.

With your .reg files as inspiration I'm just about getting there in the same way. I've written down all the steps and I just run through them. I've done this since I had my XDA2 and it makes a hard reset so much less traumatic:
Code:
Hard reset. Wait for Today screen then soft reset.
Connect cable to ActiveSync. Set up guest connection.
Turn off beams, error reporting
Set basic clock accuracy
Copy Step 1 files to root of PPC [These are the CABs for the programs I install]
Run CABs. Leave O2 Connections CAB. Put gps.CAB and PIMAddin onto storage card
Run TRE registry editor. Associate .reg files to TRE
Open the .reg file [This applies my registry settings. See below]
Run O2 connections CAB
Copy all Step 2 files to root of PPC [This adds shortcuts to StorageCard-installed programs to my Start Menu and gives me my freeware email client and PZP icons and profiles]
Run SDK Certs CAB
Run OzVGA. Change all fonts to same size as qVGA
PPC: edit registry: browse to HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings. Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
CPL > Personal > Buttons: match Button 2 to [Task switcher], Button 4 to <Rotate Screen>; Set button lock
CPL > Personal > Menus: ActiveSync, File Explorer, Internet Explorer, nPOPw, Pocket Informant, Task Manager, TomTom Navigator
CPL > Personal > Owner: set owner information
CPL > Personal > Phone: change band to GSM
CPL > Personal > Today: set items to Date, PZP, PocketPlus, PocketBreeze, Messaging; set theme to Windows Default
CPL > System > Clock: Show time on all screens
CPL > System > Regional: Set locale to UK
CPL > Connections > GPS: set program port COM0
Soft reset
Set password for PPC
PC: backup previously sync'ed files folder
PC ActiveSync: delete previous partnership. Don't delete sync'ed files folder
CPL > System > About: Set DeviceID = XDAExec
Connect PPC and PC with cable
Sync only Contacts, Calendar (all), Tasks, Favourites
Sync files. Replace the items on the device
PocketBreeze: import settings
PocketPlus: import settings
PocketInformant: run and let it fanny about
PocketWeather (on PocketBreeze tab): import settings
Run ListPro. Enter registration code
Disconnect from PC
Set up phone speed dials
Set up voicedial tags
Set up ActiveSync via Bluetooth to Workstation
Set up bond to headset
Set up bond to GPS thingy. Choose Serial Port as profile
Start TomTom Navigator. Run through startup.
InternetExplorer: sort out view settings. Set default page to about:blank
Choose Transcriber input method. Import settings file
This is my .reg file that does almost everything I need done in one step:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings]
"Group"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight]
"QKeyLedTimeout"=dword:0000001e
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Terminal Server Client]
"Keyboard Layout"="00000409"
"BitmapPersistCacheSize"=dword:00000001
"BitmapCacheSize"=dword:00000015
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00004000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"SSDte"="d/M "
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD]
"PieHomePage"="about:blank"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell]
"TBOpt"=hex:\
13,00,00,00
It makes a massive difference using commercial software that has a reliable import/export process for the settings and this, IMHO, is usually the biggest difference between paid-for software and freeware alternatives.
Silicon, don't u want to re-post your post here:

We need more of these 'standard' configs to help new users get up n running without giving up on their universal.
dude, your screen - how?
craigiecraigie4
how did you make htc look like that?
is it standard? emailable? I don't really want the merc style if it can be changed, but its a nice screen all the same

Whatever it is, it's distracting to have such a big picture in your signature in such text-based forums.
Sorry craigiecraigie4. Don't mean to offend. Just MHO.
first is there a way to store ringtones on the storage card... when you assign a ringtone the file is copied to a directory on the main memory, I'm sure there's a registry hack to change this.
second is there a way to add any prog shortcut to the today screen?
I searched before I posted and didn't come up with anything.
The first:
Use Total Commander to navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\
Open Directory, a new window should pop up now, containing the current location for ringtones
Change the value to wherever you want to store your ringtones, for example \Storage Card\
Soft reset your device by holding the Power button for 5 seconds.
(from www.htcwizardweb.net)
P.S. I'm not suceeded to replace Rings folder. Maybe you will.
The second:
Install the application like iLauncher or for example O2 Plus plug-in to add shortcuts on to today.
thanks for the reply, It looks like ilauncher is worth $10. and I'll also try that reg hack later. I appreciate your help thank you.
check out PHM tray launch. Its free and will let you add program icons to teh system tray at teh bottom of teh today screen. Its on here somewhere.

Place the ringtones in storage card\my documents then they will be displayed in phone\sounds\ringtone list.
The reg hack quoted does not work.
Use claunch - its free, for shortcut icons to programs etc... http://home.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html
cool the ringtone thing worked, and i'll check out claunch, thank you very much.
by the way does anyone know how to delete the account "outlook e-mail" or "hotmail" this is very annoying when I'm trying to switch between my configured gmail account and text messages.
well i figured out how to get rid of the hotmail one but not the outlook one

Hi all,
This thread will contain several posts where I'll add some tips & tricks for SASHIMI. These will be tips like what registry keys to export for keeping the keys of certain programs, using Mortscript to make some advanced changes to the device, using XML-provisioning to supply wifi and e-mail settings, and some default registry keys I use and others may provide. Please let me reserve the first threads for each of the before mentioned tips & tricks
For downloading SASHIMI and instructions (video & readme!), please refer to Bengalih's original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=392983
Please do not use this thread for any questions or responses. Only use the Sashimi thread!
If you provide tips, please use the code tags, [ code ] and ending with [ /code ], around your registry keys and Mortscript Code...
Regards,
Nika.
Application registration keys
Thanks to Moe558 (see this post), here's some keys for saving registration information of many tools:
WebIS Pocket Informant 8
WebIS FlexMail
WebIS Toolbox
SBSH Pocket Weather
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB WALLET
SPB Traveller
SPB FINANCE
SPB PHONE SUITE
SPB POCKET PLUS
SPB MATCHES
SPB MINE SWEEPER II
SPB QUADRONICA
SKTOOLS
START MENU PROGRAMS MANAGER
All of the reg-files are in attached zip (Registration-keys-20080807.zip). Download the zip and take out the registry keys of the programs you use. Make sure to check the registry on your device (use dotFred's TaskManager) to check and replace XXXX with the key displayed in your registry (this may sometimes not be your actual registration key!). If you have more of these, let me know and I will add them to the zip (and rename it ).
Make sure to add the file to your SASHIMI\Auto\REG folder and your application will be automatically registered when hard-resetting your device !
Regards,
Nika.
Attached zip-file contains several registry files that enable automatic configuration of most of my application. Hopefully it helps you to figure out what keys to look at, and export using dotFred's TaskManager.
Please make sure you do not simply use my files as a guidline to configure your device. They're all setup to my preference and also depend on the applications you install!
The following list explains what each file does:
Associations.reg
This file contains done through KaiserTweak and AdvancedConfig to save files to my Storage Card locations instead of my device.
BackLight.reg
This contains my backlight settings.
Beejive.reg
This contains my default Beejive settings (make sure to read the section about file backup in one of my next posts!)
BlueTooth.reg
In this file I've only added the keys that I've exported to add my BlueTooth profiles (for my headset & carkit) automatically. I only have to connect once and enter the password (I think the association-keys cannot be exported, haven't been able to get it to work 100% automatically) instead of running discovery mode...
Calendar.reg
My default calendar settings (enabling the alarm icon and such).
Camera.reg
Setting the capture delay to 0, enabling 6 MP Panorama Shots and setting the correct rotation - all tweaks from KaiserTweak and Advanced Config.
CommManager.reg
I use the 6 button comm-manager and change the bottom two buttons to 3G and ActiveSync. Done using Schap's Advanced Config...
FdcSoft TaskManager.reg
Setting the registry editor as the default registered application for reg-files using this file (first 4 keys), and changing some default settings.
GPRSMonitor.reg
My default GPRS Monitor settings (turning icon off and such).
HTC TaskManager.reg
Turns off the HTC Task Manager (as I use WkTask and QuickMenu).
Internet Explorer.reg
Set my device to use Opera instead of Internet Explorer, change the cleartype setting and change the default Search URL.
Mail.reg
Change the default mail settings so attachments are stored on the Storage Card, the file sizes are correct for download messages, and for instance the account picker is off. Most settings come from the mail application, some are from Advanced Config and KaiserTweak.
Owner.reg
My Owner Information exported using SASHIMI!
Pocket Weather.reg
This is the backup of Pocket Weather, changed a little so it specifies the correct keys and can be automatically imported using dotFred's TaskManager and SASHIMI. Pocket Weather creates a file which contains the correct keys, except it misses HKEY_CURRENT_USER in the key name.
Power.reg
My default Power Settings.
QuickGPS.reg
Setting QuickGPS to auto download...
QuickMenu.reg
My default QuickMenu settings.
Regional Options.reg
My default Regional Settings.
S2U2.reg
My default S2U2 settings (for instance turning the wallpaper off).
SIP.reg
My default Secondary Input Panel (onscreen keyboard) settings.
Soft Keys.reg
Changes my Start Menu key to QuickMenu, my PTT button to the Comm Manager, longpress PTT button to VoiceCommand, my Left Softkey to the NowScreen of SPB Mobile Shell and the Right Softkey to the Menu Launcher of SPB Mobile Shell...
SP TimeSync.reg
Set SP TimeSync to automatically minimize & timesync - see also the later section of automatically loading the timesync at startup.
Spb Mobile Shell.reg
My default Mobile Shell settings (mainly weather location).
Today Items.reg
Turning on (enabled=1) and off (enabled=0) many items on my Today screen and setting the Wireless, HTC Home and SPB Mobile Shell to "movable" (Type=4) as done by KaiserTweak and Advanced Config.
Total Commander.reg
Setting my default Total Commander shortcut folders (double click the folder entry bar) and some other options.
Tweaks.reg
Many, many, tweaks gathered from programs like KaiserTweak and Advanced Config (for instance: changing default ringtone, power management settings, hsdpa on, etc.)
VoiceCommand.reg
Turning off most VoiceCommand automatic notifications.
Volume.reg
Setting my default volume.
Weather.reg
Setting my right HTC Home weather location.
WkTask.reg
Setting up the default launcher shortcuts and settings for WkTask.
Whew.....that was about it - hope it helps
Regards,
Nika.

I'll put the XML Provisioning tips in here...
I have a script (added to Auto\Scripts) that automatically loads my favorite theme (thanks to juju-35, read here):
SetStyle.mscr
Code:
Sleepmessage(3, "This script sets a new style...", "New Style", 1)
Run( "\WINDOWS\cusTSK.exe", "\WINDOWS\Nice.tsk" )
Sleepmessage(3, "Done...")
Regards,
Nika.
As mentioned above some more tips for some of the applications that I have provided default registry entries for.
JiveTalk
Add your JiveTalk.sdf to the Auto\Root folder. I have installed JiveTalk to "\Program Files\JiveTalk" and therefore I have "JiveTalk.sdf" in the "Auto\Root\Program Files\JiveTalk" folder - it then automatically copies my JiveTalk configuration.
I also have a fileset in my "filebackup.ini" that backups the current version of the file:
Code:
[FileSet1]
FileBackupDirMode=Auto
file1=\Program Files\JiveTalk\JiveTalk.sdf
TomTom Navigator
For TomTom I've added the TomTom settings file to my "filebackup.ini" as well. This makes a backup of all my settings and I do not have to click through the default screens anymore (like selecting the language, etc.):
Code:
file2=\Program Files\Navigator\*.dat
file3=\Program Files\Navigator\*.cfg

SP TimeSync
To automatically start my SP TimeSync after my first reboot of the device, I have added a shortcut (copied from the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder) to the "Root\Windows\Startup" folder
Today Theme
To automatically load the theme mentioned in the Mortscript section (above) I add the theme (Nice.tsk) by having it added to the "Root\Windows\Startup" folder.

Don't forget that some application may use files for registration. I always do a before/after export of registry and a search "files changed during last day" using Total Commander...
Hi all,
I might be moving this to a wiki as it looks like the forum doesn't allow more than 10k characters per post and splits up the registry files for some reason... more news soon....

Nika.
How about you zip the reg files?

Thanks nikagl.
I think this would be best in the Wiki...with the main SASHIMI thread still as a discussion thread. I was going to suggest it when you first mentioned making this thread.
I just don't want people posting here with feature requests, bugs, etc, instead of the main thread. Also, in the Wiki, this info won't get lost.
Let me know what you are doing and I will try to link it from the main SASHIMI thread.
Also... don't spend too much time on XML provisioning yet... the new version of SASHIMI will be coming with a new app I've written called Makisu which will create XML provisioning files for E-mail and wireless accounts (it runs on the device!). I was going to add it into SASHIMI , but I made it a stand alone that I will release it stand-alone and with SASHIMI .
I think you guys will like it
It keeps on getting better and better - awesome work Bengalih!!!!
I'll convert it soon to Wiki format and add other information too... does one of you have a good wiki converter I can use to change the current html page into wiki-format?

Hmmm, using Total Commander, huh? Let me try this process. I wanna hunt down those illusive Resco reg key locations (Resco Backup, Resco Explorer, Resco Brain Games etc etc)
reg settings
hello Nikagl, great work, this info combined with Sashimi is just awesome.
there are some reg setting that i have searched for but had no luck, one is the setting used with kaiser tweaks for the scroll bar width, i like mine set to 10 and then the setting for image, music and video to the storage card.
thanks

Great thread. Personally the SPB registration entries are the most useful to me. Thanks for that.
The first time I configured Sashimi, I used the XML files from Kaisertweak and Advancedconfig to find registry entries. Maybe it's good advice for new users.
The XML files can be found and downloaded here:

Some more reg key locations...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Anton Tomov\Pocket Mechanic Professional]
"License"="xxxx"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Resco BrainGames]
"RC"=dword:xxxx (format this to hexadecimal data type)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Resco]
The whole string changed after registering Resco Backup, Explorer and BrainGain...
I just can't seem to properly isolate the Resco reg locations...
Hi All,
I am needing to customise a few things on our new HD2's automatically.
I've created a cab file that successfully deletes a bunch of unwanted shortcuts & make some changed to the IE favourites.
However, I want to disable HTCSense & also set a default background/wallpaper via a cab file, but I'm having trouble with this.
I've managed to semi do it via registry entries in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
It appears to have disabled HTCSense & enabled the Windows Default 'today' screen. But I still get HTC Calander, Music, Footprints & Peep icons in the start menu, however they do not function. There are no .lnk files to delete to get rid of these...
And for the background, the registry entry is there & under settings\today it shows as being selected, but the wallpaper is not actually applying.
Thanks in advance!
So... Found the issue with the background/wallpaper... It doesn't actually use that registry key to select the wallpaper, its just for display on the Today settings page... grr...
Copied the relevant files to \windows\stwater_480_800.png & stwater_800_480.png & rebooted.
So now I'm left with getting rid of the HTC shortcuts...
Also, is there a way to force a reboot after installing the CAB file?
Cheers!
try posting in windows mobile developers section
I have been able to clear all the unwanted cities and disable the current location on my rom as I do not need them. I now want to set the city of my choice on first boot. Every time I try it on the clock I get my location instead of the city and I then have to go in and select the city from the list. The reg keys I use are:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.EnableCurrentLocation"=dword:0
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.CityList"="EUR|UK|UK002|BELFAST"
"AccuWeatherCode"="EUR|UK|UK002|BELFAST"
"CityName"="Belfast"
"Weather.CurrentCity"=dword:1 - This sets the city you want as default in weather tab
"WorldClock.Location"=dword:1 - This sets the city you want as default in the home clock
Solved: the above entries worked perfectly for me. As soon as I booted the phone up. It automaticly set the time and set the city to Belfast. HD2Owner was right. Newtownards was not in the manilla file. I will have to edit the file at a later date.
I have the HD2 and using the leo 3.14/1.66 base which is my own mix and sense 2018! using osKitchen Zero
GhostXSeries, concerning your custom first boot settings (I mean all your questions - not only the city but 24 hours and other things like WiFi, facebook, twitter, mail and other things setup, owner name and so on).
I don't know what kitchen do you use - so - general proposal:
Flash rom, than make full registry backup without setting up anything (Resco Registry or Registry Workshop on PC)
Than - adjust everything, set up all your stuff, restart device and than make the second registry backup.
Compare both registry backups (with CompareIt or other program). Save the difference to one rgu file. Create package with this rgu and simply cook it in next time you make the rom.
Cool will do, forgot to mention I use oskitchen.
I was able to se the time ok to 24 hours. I got the registery keys for that!
did you know that osbuilder supports registry preview...? (including or excluding provxml on preview possible)
anyways... check out this key after setting up your phone...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.CurLocInfo"=""
also make sure you use specific weather database for every lang (that differs for regions).
weather database file is 2330fc3c_manila.
there is also a weather database editor on xda to add more cities.
You were close but that reg key doesn't exist on my device. I did find what I needed though. There were two extra entries I needed:
"Weather.CurrentCity"=dword:1 - This sets the city you want as default in weather tab
"WorldClock.Location"=dword:1 - This sets the city you want as default in the home clock
