HTC Polaris tweaks and tricks

READ MORE TWEAKS AND TRICKS ON PAGES 19 and 44 of this thread !!!! Hello everyone , iam starting this thread becaus it wil be easy to gather all tweaks and tricks and softwares needed for htc polaris to make it more easy. This thread hould contains all the tweaks and HTC cab files or customisers for htc softwares i hoop that everyone agrees here with this thread !! DON'T USE Kaiser tweaks U WILL END UP HARD RESETING the device thats what some people here are saying so be careful !!! but below tricks won't do any harm except u will benefit from it !!
1. HTC random access manager :
to make it easy to scroll in contacts like that of iphone (alphabetical at the righet side of the screen) irst go to CONTACTS >>> menu >>> options >>> uncheck the show alphabetical index
and then do this tweak to also access t in dialer:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
"0"="Contacts"
"1"="RandomAccess.exe"
this tweak makes the random access possible to use also with the dialer. Some how after restarting the device the contacts random access will not be accessed so here is the solution copy Randomaccess.exe included as attachment in to the windows folder pof your device.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Use 6 Tabs with htc home :
You need to edit your registry to get our music tab back,
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome
Add new string,
Tabsetting = 1,2,3,4,5,6
You can change the order of the numbers to sort the tabs how you like
1 = Clock tab
2 = Favorite People tab
3 = Weather tab
4 = Launcher tab
5 = Music tab
6 = Profiles tab
refresh the htc home to get the tabs u can do it by unchecking the today contects and then checking it and it will refresh and
people who missed the favorites home tab delete this registry key :
HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\Quickdial
delete it an drefresh thats alll and u will get all the 6 tabs !!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. Start Menu sound problem solved :
when u click at start menu it does not give a sound here is the cab to install and problem will be solved soft reset after installing see the attachements below
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. LG KS20 Menu for HTC Polaris !
see the picture below its menu today plugin from LG KS20 its really nice when u use it with today screen and ht home. To install it u need three things :
1) Remove the bottom bar:
Place dciNoBar.exe in \windows\startup folder and run it. This will remove the bottom bar like in the pic.
2) Install Spacer2 Today Plugin this will make space for the LG menu to be placed at the bottom of the today bar.
3) Install LG_Today Buttons
4) Configue Spacer2 Plugin in \Settings\Today\Items, click on Spacer2 n click options. Adjust Spacer Hight accordingly.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. SRS WOW HD
improve your music with 3D effects, cnter effects and focus level also truBass included. This is a nice software more effective then htc audio booster. This sofware enables u to tweak audio with headphones r internal audio without headphones. Htc audio booster was only for headphones so enjoy some quality audio for your polaris.
instructions: download the srsWOW HD cab below and install it and then restart your device and go to seetings >>> System and choose WO HD settings
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Vibrate the phone when u touch a key or open or close a prograam
we have seen in most devices that has vibration when opening or closing a prograam now we can do that with polaris. This file is .exe just copy it to your device and run it thats all and if you don't want it just execute it !! nice peace of sofware.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. from drjo:
To activate the GPS photo
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera
In the directory P9 pass value "enable" 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------
8. from John-A
To SpeedUp Touch Flo with a regisrty editor goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\ change and change "DownFPS", "LightFPS" and "UpFPS" from 15 to 50
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. How to change the Long press keys and short press keys to any prograam u want:
we know that the Long pressing of RED call button brings us to HTC end key but there are other buttons that u can long press or short press to link it to a prograam u like like power button to use slide to unlock (S2U2).
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnk (Power button)
if u want to link any rograam u want to above buttons then just copy the .exe of that file and paste it as SHORTCUT and then rename it to above and after that put it to \Windows folder !!!! if u want S2U2 when u press power button then just go to file explorer and then to \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe and copy and paste it as short cut and then rename it to Long_Power or Short_power and place it in \Windows folder. press power button and it will start s2u2 or press power for 2-3 seconds for long press and it will start s2u2. Its really easy if u cannot do it send the file name if i have it i can make them for u guys.

Thanks
Mahmood, thanks for starting this thread. I'm blundering my way through setting up my Polaris (2 hard resets so far ) so I need all the help I can get.

This is a very nice thread, I hope there will come more tweaks, but I don't think that will be a problem...

BONUS !!!!!
Mahmood said:
Hey guys this will be agift for u all . There is two theme that i have made for the htc polaris. One is Htc audi manager GREEN version and the other one is an iphone version so i hoop that u all will like these two themes. The green them i have extracted files from Pdaviet ROM and then put them in CAB file. U can install and the uninstall with no problems and u can always come back to orignal htc audio manager theme. when u want to try the second theme first u should uninstall the first one u installed and then install the second one. Any way see the screen shots and below is the file that contains both the themes.

Is it possible to set up way to storage card?
prague77 said:
This problem is solved!!!
Do this:
"HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Image" there is a "SaveFolder_0409", change the last number from 0409 na 0405. Then softreset and you will be able to browse (in the touch cube) pictures you made and are stored on storage card

18.Custom moving theme in boot
eaverhoef said:
Following also works for HTC Polaris.
Save your own .gif animation into your \windows directory, then use a reg-editor.
Go to : hklm\software\htc\startupanimation\GIFFile
then edit the string to \windows\filenameofanimation.gif
For some nice themes see: http://forum.xda-evelopers.com/showthread.php?t=336174

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\StartupAnimation]
"GIFFile"="\\Windows\\3G Up_01_1.gif"
"WAVFile"="\\Windows\\3G_Up.wav"
"Enabled"=dword:1
"Volumn"=dword:0000022
Here are the appropriate registry keys found in the AT&T stock ROM. If you want to have sound in an HTC ROM, you'd need to add "WAVFile" and "Volumn" keys.

Based on the Advantage 7500 I'm sure it will be good. But of course Olipro's Hard-SPL unlocker also will be necessary. Right now his thread in this forum is just a placeholder. But for now, I can live with the ROM that came with the Polaris. Of course I don't know any better

31. Performance tweaks:
kwabbernootje said:
Step by step guide dedicated to increase the performance of your HTC Touch Cruise.
1. Speedup Touchflo by increasing Frames Per Second
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\
- Change "DownFPS", "LightFPS" and "UpFPS" from default 15 to 60
- Change "LeftRightFPS" in 60
2. Increase Touchflo sensitivity
- HKLM\software\OEM\TFLOSettings\FingerPressure
- Change from default 2908 to 10892
3. Better Touchflo scrolling
- HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel\PressureThreshold
- Change from default 18866 to 19866, 20866 or 40866. Makes the scroll better.
4. Disable Large startmenu
- Go to "Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Large Start Menu"
- Disable large startmenu by unchecking the box.
5. Disable the HTC Taskmanager
- Go to "Start -> Settings -> System -> Task Manager -> Button"
- Disable "Enable the "X" button to end running programs" by unchecking the box.
- Disable "Enable Quick Menu on Today screen" by unchecking the box.
6. Increase font cache
- To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
- HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 or 32768 (DWORD decimal)
- To change it back to the default:
- HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
7. Enable FileSystem cache
- To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
- To disable again:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size.
8. Increase FileSystem cache
- To increase the file system cache:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
- To return the file system cache to zero:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
9. Increase FileSystem filter cache
- To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
- To return the file system filter cache to zero:
- HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
10. Disable Menu Animation
- HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu, make sure the value of "AniType" is 0.
- This disables the menu animation which helps in speeding up the device.
11. Disable ClearType of screen fonts
- Go to "Start -> Settings -> Screen"
- Select the "ClearType" tab
- Disable "Enable ClearType" by unchecking the box.
12. Fix slow scrolling large webpages Pocket Internet Explorer
- By default Pocket Internet Explorer is very slow scrolling larger webpages due to rendering problems. This can be fixed by replacing the file called "webview.dll" in the "\Windows" sytemfolder with an older version. The attached CAB file puts the faster webview.dll in the windows folder. A softreset is needed after installation. (you can simply uninstall the patch by using the program manager and restore the webview.dll file to factory default)
13. Smooth video playback
For video playback buy Coreplayer 1.2.0 Qtv edition. This release does NOT fix the driver issue. However they have figured out the QTv video overlay API’s and are able to take advantage of them. Fixes in version 1.2.0 related to QTv:
- FIX: Qualcomm QTv / Camera issue
- ADD: Qualcomm QTv Hardware Overlay support
For converting DVD movies quickly take a look at CloneDVD Mobile.
Request for information: Anyone tried to increase the pool size on a Touch Cruise yet?

For example:
Before
"DLL" = "bta2dp.dll"
After
"DLL" = "WOWHD_ARM_WCE_PPC2005_Driver.dll"

37. How to change the date format on the Today screen
Abbsta said:
I wanted the date to be displayed to my liking and luckily I found a thread in the Kasier discussing it so any credit should go to the posters of that thread.
How to change the date format on the Today to whatever you want, almost:
First what I had was 02/02/08 which is represented by the name SSDte (I think)*. If you have a long date like 02 February 2008 then it would be SLDte (I think)*.
Navigate to: HKLM\nls\overrides\
Edit or create new string:
Name: SSDte
Value: ddd, dd MMM yy --> Sat, 02 Feb 08 (what I have now)
or for example
dddd-dd MMMM-YYYY --> Saturday-02 February-2008 (you get the idea)
Restart and voila.
*I first created a string with a name of SLDte which didn't work so I deleted it and created another with the name SSDte and it worked.
Hope it is of any benefit.

nice ones added them on first page !!!

Cam
its a good idea to deactivate the camera-sound.
On my device it reduces the (very) long releaser-delay.By the way it resolves the problem that everybody look away after the "click" thinking the photo is done...

How to change order of Quick Tasks

Hi all, does any of you know how can I change the order of apps that appear when I open the Keyboard of HTC Touch Dual? I would loke to have "new SMS" first.
Thanks in advance.

Hi tintinxp,
The task settings are located in the registry as follows:
HKLM/software/HTC/biotouch/ActionScreen
If you navigate to this key (using regedit or Resco reg explorer) you will see the following tree structure:
App_0 New Email
App_1 New SMS
App_2 New MMS
App_3 New Appointment
App_4 New Task
App_5 New Note
App_6 New Contact
Each of these keys contain substrings named opos and ypos. o pos is 0 meaning distance from the left of screen, y pos contains numbers ranging from 40 to 280 (increments of 40) meaning distance from top of screen.
Change the ypos of App_0 to 80 and the ypos of App_1 to 40. This will move the New Email down 1 position and move the New SMS up 1 position. You should also be able to change the position of the other application entries by changing the y pos.
When you open the keyboard the new order should show New SMS as the first entry and New Email as the second entry. You also need to do a soft reset for the changes to take effect.
A word of advise -You are making changes to the registry so it is advisable to make a back up befor making any changes.
I am not an expert so if anyone wants to jump in and confirm the above steps please do.
Regards,
khan3

Step 2
When we change the y pos values the corresponding items will move position up or down according to the values we set. When you open the keyboard APP_0 will be highlighted by default, which, in the example above, will be New Email.
Now we need to go back into the registry and change the key values. App_0 is the entry for New Email and App_1 is the entry for New SMS, we need to rename these keys now. Because of duplicate name issues we proceed as follows:
1.Rename App_0 App_00
2.Rename App_1 App_0
3.Rename App_00 App_1
Now when you open the keyboard the first entry New SMS will be highlighted by default. Soft reset needed.
Regards,
khan3
Sorry found and corrected a typing error

Hi Khan3. Thanks indeed for your clear instructions. I will try and let you know if worked.
It seems that you really know about these tricks. I posted an issue that I have when I click on a/s button on Kboard... The first prioriry is always "s" when should be "a" for spanish. Do you know how o edit and change these priorities?
Thanks indeed.

Hi tintinxp,
Sorry mate but I have only had my new touch dual for 2 days and I am still "playing" and learning.
Glad I was able to help and hopefully input something of value in return for the invaluable tips and advice I have got from this great site.
Regards,

Extend you ProgrammLauncher menu

Last night i was playing around with the Program Launcher menu and discovered that you can extend it by simply adding some values in the registry.
The registry key to do all this is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher
Standard the subkeys are numbered from 0 to 29.
You can extend your Launcher menu by adding a new group of 3 empty program buttons by adding 30, 31 and 32 (so new subkeys). Always add keys in groups of 3. So 33, 34 and 35 and so on. Don't know if there's a limit on this one.
A number subkey should contain the following values:
String - DispName
String - IconPath
DWORD - IsReadOnly, dec value 0
String - Path
You can leave the string values open because they are automatically filled in when you add a new shortcut.
Don't forget to adjust the following value also. It's in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher/totalItemCount (dword, dec value), change to the max number op empty program places. I tried with 50.
You can now disable TF3D and re-enable it again to see the new empty program buttons or you can simply soft reset your device (reboot windows mobile).
This should work perfectly. But some problem I'm having is, after having installed the cabfile with which you can wipe the first 4 (unremovable) program shortcuts, I'm not able to add any program shortcuts anymore. Well i can select a program which i like in the program launcher as a shortcut, but the shortcut is not added to the launcher menu. I uninstalled the cabfile, and rebooted windows mobile, but the problem isn't solved with that. Some one know a solution to this?

Great tip!
I have the same problem that the shortcuts are not added though...
What does work is to add the path and name manually...
To easily create more keys you can also export 1 key and edit the key name in notepad (increase the number by 1) and import the key again.
I think you need to edit some more keys.
Could it be you need to add the program path as a string value in the root of ProgramLauncher as well?
At least I increased the totalItemcount to 32.

of course you can add the shortcuts manually through the registry, but that's not quite the solution. Are there more people having this problem?

Yeah I have the same problem, I get empty boxes to add more programs but can't seem to make the button register a program unless done manually via registry.
Great find though, Thanks

i use mine own cabfile, works great, to find it goto xperia rom forum, and one of the sticky post is called FTP, by mostberg, goto mostbergs ftp and goto rom, touch x, addons, there you will finjd the cabs needed for top icons, not home atm, so cant post the cab right now sorry, but goto ftp there it is...

How to change Start Menu to LIST VIEW?

I just upgraded my Excalibur to the Dash 3G today! So far seems better. I am sure there is a way to edit something in the registry (not that i have a registry editor yet) to make the start menu items appear as a LIST VIEW rather than the icons...anyone know how to do that?
Does anyone have RIGHT MENU editor working on their phone yet?
thanks
BTW I upgraded to 6.5 and it worked fine.
panflute

ToggleView
You can install ToggleView.
Vinz

Registry Edit
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu\GridView change DWORD value to 0 (zero) then restart.
If you want the icon view (grid view) change back to 1

Problem: the screen doesn't lights up when i receive a text message! Pls help!

when i receive a message its just play the sound... i have made some setting but i think its somewhere in regirsty... could any one help?

Set the DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 0. You can find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL .
With registry Editor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000

thanx, now its working.

I cannot change the value, it says Access is Denied. I am using Mobile Registry Editor.

Hmmm, strange....try with this editor....if not works we can try via desktop.....

Frank, the file is not complete. I don't see an executable. I have previously used Mobile Registry Editor to change my SMS thread to the classic style and other small settings. I don't understand why it doesn't want to accept changes.

I tried changing some values of other strings to see if the problem was with the registry editor but then I could change some, like this one:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
but I can't change the value of, DisableSMSWakeUpEvent.

Sorry about my dumbness. Frank, I did not realize I had to install the cab file in my mobile. I changed the value successfully.
Thanks a lot for the help.
