can anybody please post Registry Tweaks for the XDA 2? like changing message sent and other event sounds?
Hi Marc,
Check this out http://www.handango.com/PlatformSea...7AF8F19&platformId=2&siteId=1&txtSearch=tweak
Poch
nice try poch, but this link is for the registry editor program for the phone... what im looking for are the actual tweaks...
· Speed Up Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC.
WOW my Pocket PC is fast! I just bumped into an old registry tweak that I have yet to use on Windows Mobile 2003. A foreign site todopocketpc had mentioned this and I was surprised I had not used it on my new install. once I applied this reg tweak I immediately saw a difference in how fast my Windows Mobile Pocket PC responded. Today plugins load faster my Games folder loads faster. Its just an overall better experience. I would highly suggest backing up your Pocket PC before you try this as playing with your registry can cause problems if you do not know what you are doing. Protect your Pocket PC BACKUP!
If you need a registry editor, you can find a free one at http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/regeditce.shtml
1. Open your registry editor on 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.
That's it! Let me know what your results are

It's not set for 2.06.00WWE ROM. Perhaps that's one of the few differences we are seeing for 2.02 and 2.06...and for that matter, 2.20.
what does it do anyway? i mean.. you say it speeds up the pocketpc response... how?
Dear,
[/quote]3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768
Not knowing what it actually does, I have given it a try. However, my WM2003SE (V2.06) has already had such value set at 131072. Any ideas about the differences.

Does anyone know the registry setting for the alarm tweak for WM2003?
yeah! like a correctly looping tone! with no pauses
here's a few
*** 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.
*** fix suspend timeout
The issue therefore is how long the unit is in the suspend power state before reverting to off. The time interval involved is stored in the registry at the following location HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\Timeouts\BattResumingSuspendTimeout and is initially set to 15 (seconds). The amount of time required seems to depend on the number of alarm entries in the Calendar - I have about 300 entries and find that 175 seconds works for me. The reason for just under three minutes is because my full power off timeout is set to 180 seconds (three minutes) and it seems more correct for the suspend time out to be shorter.
*** low battery alerts
Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a String value named "Default" and set its value to "Low battery warning".
Now go to Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications applet > Notifications tab, select "Low battery warning" in the "Select an event" drop-down list and you can customize it.
*** disable start menu animation
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\
Change the "AniType" value from 6 to 0.
*** add date to start bar
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
Save any unsaved document and reset your Pocket PC.

AutoStart a Program
Do anybody know how to make a program run automatically when i soft reset my PPC :roll:
Autorun
Hi gwassef,
just create a shortcut for the program you want to start automatically and copy that shortcut into the /Windows/Autostart folder. Then the program starts on soft reset.
Greetings,
BGK

Check this site
any tweaks to change the default my documents location to that of the storage / storage card

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:
from davidberrysmith

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:

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.
This AWESOME app (without which your JJ is virtually useless as a PIM) has NOT been working on the JJ - blank calendar bug.
Some ppl have it working - but they have not set their regional settings to anything other than factory default - can't imagine why???
To get PI working, you need to delete the reg key HKLM\nls\overrides - just delete the overrides piece, not the nls root
This key is created when u set regional settings, and does not appear in the facotry default registry. You wil lose your regional settings (date format, currency, etc) - but hell, PI vs date format - it's a no brainer!
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
file4=\Program Files\Navigator\*.bif
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.

Nika.

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....

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?

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.

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...
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...
