Hello,
I'd like to introduce new registry editor CeRegEditor for WindowsCE, WindowsMobile
It works on desktop PC but operates on PDA's registry.
Main features:
- keys/values create and edit
- fast search
- export/import keys to/from REG file
- create "image" registry with compare and restore service
- free for private and commercial use
- registry compare to CAB or REG files
- open REG/RGU, CAB, HV as regular registry, with all edit functions available
...and many more
link to web site: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl?lang=en
link to software: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ceregedit_setup.exe
It is still during test period, but basic features are well tested and stable
It is Polish software but with english interface
edit
If You find any error in the application or mistake in English interface please send an email to [email protected] or write it within thread

nice one! thanks!

It looks very nice! thanks

Hi!
Thanks a lot! The compare service makes it even easier to build OEM packages when kooking ROMs. Great software!
Regards,
PK

nice app.

good tool, many of cookers want to edit the registries using the PC

Nice software I have one suggestion: since this works on the desktop, one feature that would be neet was that if we install a CAB, it detects what's changed on the PPC, regarding the registry. That would be great to know what are the registry keys needed for the instalation of OEM packages!

You can use compare tool embedded into CeRegEditor.
First, create registry image(Images->Create image or F2 key) and after cab instalation perform compare registry, Images->Compare registry. It will show only differences/changes between the image and the current registry
I hope this will be useful for You

Great Work
Great work, sounds cool...thanks !

Yes, very thanks so much!

NIce Progie thanx

New version 0.0.2.2
+ added UNICODE support for export/import data to/from REG file
+ fixed header in REG file. The string in header changed to REGEDIT4. Previous string was not compatible with some other registry tools (WinCE Cab Manager)
+ fixed format of path to directory/file in REG file.
...and some minor fixes

Thank you, I was using Mobile Registry Editor to edit registry directly from Desktop but your app look nice

New version 0.0.3.0 available
Some fixes and new features!
Now, compare tool handles CAB and REG files
So, it is possible to compare registry to CAB file or REG file, CAB to CAB, CAB to REG, REG to registry image, etc.
It's possible to check what changes will be made by CAB before CAB instalation
Update details: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?id=4&lang=en
Download: http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ceregedit_setup.exe

cool... I will check this out soon.
@mdziedzic, curious how you are implementig the cab compare function... are you just looking at reg entries stored in the cab? Cos sometimes the complicated ones involve self-registering dlls and setup.dll files that make reg entries also. Prime examples of this are voice command, mark all as read, and some SPB apps. For those we always have to do a reg diff before/after cab install to see what the setup.dll did (or see the self-registered dll additions).
I have been wondering if it's possible to write an app that examines a setup.dll to see what reg entries it would create. So far I don't know of any way to do that other than reg dump->install cab->reg dump->compare.
Anyway your app will be very useful! Thanks for your hard work.

congratz.

I think it is not possible! Each developer/provider creates it's individual setup.dll for CABs. Each DLL could has different structure (written in C++ or Pascal). Trying to "decode" setup.dll will be always "guessig"!

IMO, for CABs with setup.dll or exe instalators it's the best metod. In CeRegEditor, just create registry image (F2)-> do instalations-> compare registry with image(F3). After compare You can save differences to REG file

Great

New version 0.0.3.1 available
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ceregedit_setup.exe
Updates:
- fix in CAB-> REG conversion

great looking ap...
I particularly like the little status monitor...nice touch.

It would be great if you could also map registry files from a dumped rom. This way you could easily extract registry settings from other phones without the need of the actual device. At this moment you still need the phone.
is this possible

Create a single cab out of multiple reg entries

Hey guys, I'd like to combine all my registry edits in to 1 single installable cab file. How can I do this? I have several regedits eg:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]"Hide"=dword:0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and Change - CacheSize to 4096
As you can see, they are stored in my list of tweaks in plain English.. how can I make a properly formatted list of all of them and then make a cab that will install to my PPC and change all the appropriate reg entries.
Thanks in advance!

Yes I actually am using ceregeditor. I can turn a single reg entry into a cab but I'm not sure how I can make a collection of regedits in to one cab file using that software. Could you point me in the right direction?

Just place your regedits in a text file and save it as something like filename.reg. Then open the reg file with ceregeditor and use the convert to cab option. Make sure your reg file is in the proper format (like what you get if you export the registry keys).
So:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
etc
etc

Excellent, thank you!! I will try this out tonight.
Also - is there any way I can DELETE any existing reg entries using this method?
And then I assume I can create new entries using this method also?
Thanks again.

I'm not sure about using this in a cab, but using .reg files, is possible to delete Keys(including SubKeys and Values) or just a specific Value from a Key.
Consider the following registry entry as an example:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen]
"Hide"=dword:0
To delete a Key create a reg file with the following:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[COLOR=seagreen][B][[COLOR=red]-[/COLOR]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen][/B][/COLOR]
To delete a Value from a Key create a reg file with the following:
Code:
REGEDIT4
[COLOR=seagreen][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen][/COLOR]
[B][COLOR=royalblue]"Hide"=[/COLOR][COLOR=red]-[/COLOR][/B]
Thanks to Mr. Makk and his tutorials thread for the Value delete (I was only aware of the Key delete from analysing RGUs)
Cheers,

Wow, thank you!!!

Is there any program that will allow multiple REG sections to all be exported to a single "file.reg" so that they can all be reloaded or converted to a CAB install file? I have multiple sections of my Registry which i would like to have in a single .REG or .CAB file but when i export each part of the REG separately then cut n paste to combine then it does not seem to re-install in to my register after a clean ROM boot.
Any ideas?

LOL!
Use WinCe Cab Manager.
Make New Cab, and then import all your reg's into single cab.
If you want to export all regs, just use export function.
If you want edit your entries, you can edit their right there.

Yeah, use wince cab manager! Just add a key to the registry or use file, import reg!
When you want to save the cab you'll get a message that you don't added any files, thats oke because a key or a value isn't a file!

I've already checked the registry settings and all the setting were correct. Although I've solved the issue now by uninstalling and reinstalling the editor and then doing a soft reset.

[PROBLEM] Removing the "Redirect" values wont work

I know there are solved posts about this but I have tried all of those. I've been trying to figure this one out for the past 2 days now.
Remove the "Redirect" value under the following keys:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Buttons]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]
The tips from above wont work in my rom. I have checked the registry after flashing my cooked rom and there is no "Redirect" value anymore on the said keys. I dont know why still the problem is there.
Under all settings>Personal>Buttons.. There are no buttons to assign...
When tying and XT9 is activated there are no words on the box of suggested words. Just an empty box.
Anyone who know something about this?
Thanks and Regards,
Pongskie

Have you tried just exporting the entire Startinfo registry key? That works fine for me, and it's the best way to keep your start menu organized.

Hi Farmer Ted thanks, but can you please explain further how the entire startinfo could be related to my problem? I got confused there. I checked the startinfo entries and exported it. I didn't see anything related to my problem.

Startinfo has all the settings reg keys for the start menu. Also, look and see if there's a provxml with the re-direct keys. Delete all of them, and put the provxml in an EXT. I've never had the issue before (just read about it). I have a start menu EXT that is filled with modified (mostly empty) provxml's as well as my startinfo registry in an app.reg file. The modified provxml's over-write the stock ones from any new Sys build, and I never get any surprises in my start menu.

pongskie,
Just for the heck of it, add this to your personal EXT reg since it will be cooked last. This should work for you
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner]
"Redirect"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Buttons]
"Redirect"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input]
"Redirect"=-

Thanks lioryte but even though I added those in my personal EXT reg still the problem exist. I check my phones reg through CeReg Editor and I saw that the redirect was not there but still the problem exist. I really had no idea why this is happening.
All Settings > Personal > Buttons... no buttons to assign..
When typing and XT9 was active, the suggested words box was empty. The words are not there.

That pretty much suggests that a provxml is causing the problem. It's easy enough to fix this: look at all the provxml's in your dump folder, and search for redirect. You'll find it in 10 minutes. Then edit that file and put it in an EXT that runs at the end of your build.

Have you tried with ceregeditor?

Search the forums for a tool called "Kheb" it can take full registery dumps and diffs if you want to track changes.

Stick the task manager in windows, then run the shortcut. You need this folder, otherwise the dump will go to my docs (-storage card-my backups-registry). The registry will be dumped as a text file. You can edit the path in the shortcut. The task manager has to have the correct name, or else it won't work.

Hi Miniterror,
I've dumped the full registry using Registry Workshop form the PC.
It's really easy to use and allow you to change the registry easily from the PC via Activesync.
