smartskey not reading my ini..

smartskey doesn't seem to be reading my ini. I'm editing the file in notepad, saving as unicide, and transferring back to my device using activesync. am I missing something?
thanks in advance..
-s

Per the .ini-
[MAIN]
; set LSKEY to 1 if you want to override Left Soft Key (DEFAULT 1)
LSKEY=1
; set RSKEY to 1 if you want to override Right Soft Key (DEFAULT 1)
RSKEY=1
; set VOLKEY to 1 if you want to override Volume Key (DEFAULT 1)
VOLKEY=1
; set CLOSEAPP to 1 if you want to close app instead of hide (DEFAULT 0)
CLOSEAPP=1
; set STARTONREBOOT=1 to 1 if you the program to be start automatically during
; reboot, use with RSKEY (DEFAULT 0)
STARTONREBOOT=1
; set VOLUMEONPHONE=1 if you want to set volume using volume key in phone app
; use with VOLKEY (DEFAULT 0)
VOLUMEONPHONE=1
; set OMAPCLOCK to the clock if you want to use omapclock and automatically
; set the clock speed after wakeup, you should put OmapClock.exe in the same
; directory of smartskey.exe
;OMAPCLOCK=264
;REMOVEDUPSDDAEMON=0
;STARTMENUMETHOD=0
; if you set CLOSEAPP to 1, the program will hide the following
; apps (by title) instead of closing. Other apps will be closed.
; maximum can set 16 apps
[EXCEPTIONLIST]
APP00=Text Messages
APP01=Outlook E-mail
APP02=Hotmail
APP04=MMS
APP05=Contacts
APP06=Calendar
It's confusing, at the top is says change closeapp to 1 if you want to close app and at the bottom it says if you set closeapp to 1, the program will hide...???
Also it says if you set OMAPCLOCK to a number and have it in the same folder as OMAPCLOCK.EXE then it should start it on a wakeup. It doesn't...

Don't know about the overclocking parameters, but the .ini content is quite logically:
with closeapp=1 you tell it to close any application by default. To *exclude* applications from that behaviour (like phone for example), you have to list it under the exceptionlist. So those Applications won't be closed, but hidden.

For Omapclock to load on startup you have to remove the ";" before the line OMAPCLOCK=### in the .ini file. Instead of the ### you enter the number of mhz you want. By default it's 264 i believe but i set it to 240 because that is more stable.
When you don't have a ";" before the line CLOSEAPP=1, all programs wil be shut down EXECPT the programs mentioned on the bottom, which will be minimized. This list of programs on the bottom (APP00 till APP07) can be edited. You can remove programs from this list (or just put ";" in front of it) and add programs to it, you can number ahead with APP08= upto APP16=.

The question remains...
Ive got the same problem, smartskey will not read the inifile at all. None of the changes there takes effect.

there can be a problem in the way you edit and save your .ini file on your mobile. I edit and save it using Total Commander: http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.exe I have no problem whatsoever. What you could try to do is to delete all smartkey files from your mobile and redownload them to your mobile, then edit the .ini file using Total Commander.

How would we totally know if the INI file is being read? Would using the soft buttons do?

I'm having the same problem with the ini file not being read. I had this problem last week and solved it by deleting the whole SmartSKey folder including omapclock.exe and then reinstalling. It was running fine aside from not overclocking omap after wakeup, then this morning, nothing. I will reinstall it again but I'd like to know why it keeps faulting.

It's ok for me.
I've put the smartkey folder(including omapclock.exe) in device memory and copy a shortcut to the startup folder.
each time i modify the .ini file and change the omapclock param. from 180 to 240 or vice versa, after a softreset, i can check with omapclock that the freq. DO change as i needed.

I was having this same problem, and then discovered that everytime I see this problem (usually when I soft reset and find that Smartskey has not automatically started as it should according to the settings in the .ini file). When I go to check the .ini file, it find that the file is empty. Is there a solution or reason for this strange behavior?

Below is the direct quotation form the ini file (first line):
; INI FILE MUST BE SAVED IN UNICODE, PLEASE USE NOTEPAD TO EDIT IT
May is help.

Hi,
I've been having a similar prob and found that Smartskey was happy when I put it in its own folder (just the exe and ini).

Just a wee bit of searching found this in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other

Hmm... that link did not seem to answer the question.
Right, the easiest way to stop the CAB from being deleted on executing on the phone is to write-protect it. This can be done from a PC by copying the CAB file off through ActiveSync, then right-clicking, selecting properties and selecting Read Only.
Copy the file back and run it on the phone and it should remain after execution.

Geez, I could swear this is exactly what he was looking for:
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

If You have Resco Explorer or some, try tap and hold on that cab, than choose properties, and check "read only"

My apologies kyphur, I just couldn't see that piece in amongst all the rest of the information in that post. It's still easier to just write protect the file imho.

The big advantage to using the registry is that the behavior then becomes the default. Now you don't have to remember to make it read-only (all of the Cabs posted here aren't).
When looking at that Wiki Page, if you want to fing Reg Hacks related to Cab files just search the page for "cab" you will find all registry entries known to modify cab file behavior.

so...
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
would be
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe %1 /nodelete'
or..
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = wceload.exe %1 /nodelete

HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = wceload.exe %1 /nodelete
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete
remove the single quotes, basically just add ' /nodelete' (without the single quotes) to what's already there.

aalright ill try that because the one step changing 2 to 0 didnt work

You are reseting your phone and making sure the setting remains in the registry, right?
I always just wait a minute the power down the phone using the power button (which give the OS the chance to clear any cached changes).

neither one worked..
i added a new string of wceload.exe "%1" then it said details or something and i put /nodelete ...did i do it right?

You should not need to "add a string" just edit the default.
This cab file will make the change for you.
Be sure to wait a minute the shut down, power-up.

thank you, im a dumbass lol its been one hell of a day!

why not use cabinstall? work perfectly since WM2003 for me on Ipaq, Wizard, Universal and Prophet.

[MOD] Extended Comm Manager Release 1.1 (with some work still to do)

Hi all
First off, I think that this may only work on a WWE ROM. If you do try it on any other ROM, please make sure you back up the two registry keys listed in point 2) of the instructions below.
I've been fiddling around with the CommManager registry entries and image files and I've managed to successfully add two additional functions to the CommManager. It's working as follows:
Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.
Phone: Working as default settings.
Bluetooth: Working as default settings.
Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.
Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.
Data Disconnection: Working as default settings.
3G: Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".
Internet Sharing: Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.
Problems/To do:
Although I can enable more functinos using:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager]SupportedFunctions dword=0x0000000a(10)
For some reason you can not select the bottom two functions in portrait mode, only in landscape.
I can enable the Vibrate option with REG_SZ=Vibrate in a number key but I can't get the Vibrate Icon to display in normal or silent modes.
I can't map the ringer row area to the manila sounds page or the HTC Volume Control function (\Windows\Volumecontrol.dll I think)
If you think you can help with these problems, please update the thread.
Instructions:
In the .zip file attached there are two registy entry files as well as four image files.
1) Close Comm Manager
2) Back up the following registry Keys and all their containing vaules: [HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager] & [HKLM\Software\OEM\UTMS]
3) Import the registry entries into your phone's registry from CommManager.reg and UTMS.reg in the .zip file attached.
4) Copy the four image files into the \Windows\ folder of your device. N.B it is not recommended to copy them directly from your computer to the windows directory, but to your storage card first.
Edit: Original registry entries for HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager uploaded.

You can add more buttons trhough Registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager]
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:6
Here you can extend it to 8 buttons, what fills the whole screen! After increasing the possible buttons, just add the following (example):
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\6]
@="AUTD" [I](That's ActiveSync)[/I]
"Execute"="\\Windows\\repllog.exe" [I](Path to executable or any other file)[/I]
"ExecuteCommand"="//remote" [I](only needed if you want to start the application with commands)[/I]
Please note: the numbering begins with 0, so if you want 8 buttons, you need at least [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager\7]!

Hi animelover
Do you know where there is a list of supported functions, such as "@=:autd""?
Thanks
andrew-in-woking

I think @= is the default string

Yes, the "@" is the Default name of any new entry!
As far as I know, you can use these posibilities with "@":
Code:
3G [I](3G switch from Auto to GSM and vice versa)[/I]
Phone
Bluetooth
WLAN
AUTD [I](ActiveSync)[/I]
Ir [I](OBEX service, I think)[/I]
DataDisconnection
FlightMode
Please note: the Default entry "@" must be a "String" value!

Update (90% Complete)
Hi all
I've been fiddling around with the registry entries and image files and I've got it to nearly the stage I want to. Check out the screen shot attached. Summary of Progress:
Airplane Mode: Working as default settings.
Phone: Working as default settings.
Bluetooth: Working as default settings.
Wi-Fi: Working as default settings.
Microsoft Direct Push: Working as default settings.
Ringer: Switch Working fully but does not update when the volume setting is changed; toggles between current state and Vibrate or Vibrate and sound on. Row area mapped to "\Windows\Mute_sound.exe" which works. Ringer icon is only displayed when sound is on Vibrate but not on Mute or On.
3G: Switch fully working. Row Area Mapped to "\CMBandSwitching.exe".
Internet Sharing: Switch opens Microsoft Internet Sharing UI. Row area mapped to "\Windows\CMInternetSharing.exe". Switch changes to indicate HTC Internet Sharing connected.
Problems/To do:
Have Ringer/Vibrate icon (Or other representative icons) displayed when sound is on or mute/silent.
Map Ringer/Vibrate row area to the Manila Sounds Settings Page or HTC Volume Control Function.
Enable the Vibrate Switch to change on selection.
If you think you can help with these problems, please update the thread.

Orignal Reg keys Required
I have applied the Reg keys without backing up my orignal and having problem with Comm manager now. I would appreciate if some one can upload the orignal Reg keys so i don't have to hard reset. Thanks.

What problem are you having?

Hi ageelhaider
What problem are you having specifically? I must admit I don't have a backup myself, hence the instructions to do so.

Hi andrew-in-woking,
I was able to fix my comm manager by deleting the existing reg entries and then importing the reg keys you have provided and its working fine now Thanks for your hard work. Looking forward for the Vibration key to fully function.

Hi alesscam
I'm really sorry but I don't actually know much about ROM Kitchens. Are you looking for an .rgu file? I understand that you can rename a .reg file but you may need to edit the file. Hlopefully one of the forum ROM Cookers could help. I was thinking of making a .cab file and if I can do this that might help you.

Hi alesscam
I'm sorry, I don't know. It's working in my device. You should only need the default (unnamed) value "Bluetooth" in the relevant registry Key.
What problem are you having specifically?
Sorry
andrew-in-woking

the problem is alone in the key "on-of", when tap tells me there "impossible to activate bluethoot...this however it didn't happen with the version 1.0
Can you give me the version 1.0 so control which is the difference?

Hi alesscam
I didn't edit the registry with regards to the Bluetooth Switch. They are the default registry entries.
Unfortunately I've just had to Hard Reset my device so have no registry editor loaded on there to test the device.
Before I re-load the extended Comm Manager I will export my CommManager registry key to compare them.
This will be tomorrow.

Also I have a few programs for a folder called "software" and a few called "telefon". Both of them working finde. Any shortcuts were made in this folders, but on the end a the start menu, I see two empty folder, one is called "Telefon (1)" and the other is called "Software (1)". I wonder why?
Can someone help me?
Also I want to get rid of the entries "Erste Schritte/Welcome" and the "Heute/Today" button.
An last, I wonder why every time I´m flashing, the folder in my start menu are in different positions. Once the software is at the top, once it is in line 3 or so...

and on the last question i can be sure the RANK entry is the one you are searching for... delete that line of the regs before you cook, wherever you found it or use decimal numbers... less is at top of the start menu position bigger number is at the bottom of the start menu
