Can anyone help with any of these???

Hi guys! Had my M5000 for about 10 days now and finally getting used to it but I wonder if anyone canm help with any of the following questions??
1. How do we edit the dictionary?? I can't even find how to add words and that would be REALLY handy as I normally use the phone pad for typing!
2. Can we select a default input method? (I use the phone pad but it always reverts to popup keyboard)
3. Can we change what the soft keys to on the today screen? (I'd dearly love to change Calendar to Messaging!)
4. I prefer to keep event, program and notification sounds all turned on but can I disable the start button click and the noise it makes when opening programs or settings??
5. My device is set to turn off after three mins - Is there a way to make it turn on again when I press ANY button? (I swear the power button moves in the dark lol)
6. When I go into my games menu it takes just over 40 seconds to list them all (I have about 20 games all installed on my memory card) - Does anyone know what might cause this??
7. Is there a way to get these phones to receive files over bluetooth from other make of phone? Mates with both Nokias and Sony have tried sending me pictures over BT but no luck
Think that's it for now - Sorry if any of these are stupid questions with obvious answers that I've missed but I'm pretty sure I've tried every damn menu on the device now lol! I'm also hoping that there's things here that other people would also like ot know!
Thanks

1. The dictionary can have words added to it by making a document in Word (named, for example: 'Personal dictionary') and saving it. Any word you add will be in the dictionary from that point on (as long as the document is not deleted).
3. Try registry hack here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
5. Try 'Settings' - 'Buttons' - Lock tab - 'Do not lock buttons'

4. Not sure if there's a reg hack for it, I've searched for the filenames below and their paths to no avail. but the only other way would be to remove the following files from \Windows:
hwandsw.wav
MenuPop.wav
If you remove or copy these to a different location, then you won't hear anything. During the old XDA / XDA2 and i phases, I used to swap the WM2002/3 sounds for PC Windows noises. Later, when it came to 2005, I used the set contained on here as they were much nicer.
6. If they're on the SD card then presumably it has to search the SD for all of the .exe files. This could be improved by perhaps defragging your card (StorageTools is a good app for this). Another thing may be to try creating links to your game .exes in a folder on the PHONE, and replace the Start > Programs > Games icons with links to the PHONE copies. You can add / remove these by going to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
7. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry - look for the section entitled To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)

Hi
The registry obex 'hack' does exactly the same thing as going to settings, comms, beam, and clicking the selection box 'recieve all beams' Beam = Ir AND Bluetooth.
I find that the button lock setting does not work. With it set to 'do not lock' you still cant press any button to switch the unit on

Thanks for the tips guys
Maybe I should have been more specific with the dictionary thing - I want to be able to add words to the predictive text (Town/friends names for example) - Does adding them to the dictionary do this??

Yes, adding any words to the dictionary adds them to predictive text, as well. The predictive text uses the dictionary.

Plus you'll find that as you type more and more, it will automatically add words you spell out it doesn't recognise.

Thanks guys - Especially for the registry link - Some REALLY great stuff there
hmmmmm... One quickie though:
For example, to change the left-hand softkey to start Pocket Excel you would set
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Pocket Excel
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = \windows\pxl.exe
Anyone know how I set this to open contacts???

Notification & Alarm sounds

On WM2003SE you could disable most of the sounds, but have things like the text message alert still sound.. WM5 appears to not allow this: turn off Notifications and new incoming text messages are also disabled.
This is really irritating because it means you either have sounds on, and get irritating bleeps WHENEVER you hit ANY button (it seems) - including the start button and any program you hit in the menu..... OR you have no sounds when using the device - but no warning of incoming texts.
Can this be solved??

start>settings>sound&notifications>notifications tab then untick the "play sound" box

Click to collapse
If you mean the page with the drop down list of events..... there isn't an option for "Start menu"...
Currently trying (on the 'Sounds' Tab)
Events - unchecked
Programs - checked
- Notifications - checked
Screen Taps - unchecked
Hardware Buttons - unchecked
I THINK this is the way it should be for what I want: silent machine unless there's a message/call incoming.

Hi,
Check Sound Schemes and Waveform Audio registry settings @Microsoft (see below)
Works from CE4+. I use an empty sound scheme. Use tascal TRE for editting those REGSZ_MULTI's. Keep 21 lines (events in the scheme (even if the lines are empty!
Or set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume\Mute to 0x03.
Only use only WAV-files in \Windows. Sound schemes can be fun.
Why has nobody vere made a Sound Scheme Editor for Windows CE4+?
Should be easy to make.

Hiding System Sound Events
The following system sound events are available through the shell:
Asterisk
Close
Critical
Default
Empty
Exclam
Infbeg
Infend
Infintr
MenuPop
MenuSel
OpenProg
Question
Netbeg
Netend
Netintr
Startup
WindMax
WindMin
RecStart
RecEnd
The Wceshellfe.reg file contains a mask you can use to hide system sound events that do not apply to a target device. The following registry key allows you to set the mask to disable sound events.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Snd\Event
".Scheme"=".DefaultSounds"
"EventMask"=dword:FFFFFF
"EventCache"=dword:300
;Scheme descriptions
".NoSounds"=multi_sz:"","","","","","","","","","","","", "","","","","","","","",""
".DefaultSounds"=multi_sz:"Asterisk","","critical","default","","exclam","infbeg","infend","infintr","","","","question","Netbeg","Netend","Netintr","startup","","",""
".AllSounds"=multi_sz:"Asterisk","Close","critical","default","Empty","exclam","infbeg","infend","infintr","MenuPop","MenuSel","OpenProg","question","Netbeg","Netend","Netintr","startup","WindMax","WindMin","RecStart","RecEnd"
;
In the registry key, the Scheme setting specifies the current sound scheme. The NoSounds, DefaultSounds, and AllSounds schemes are defined, and DefaultSounds is specified as the current scheme.
The EventMask allows events that do not apply to a target device to be hidden. The mask is a DWORD initially set to FFFFFF, which means all sounds are enabled. The following example shows show to set EventMask to disable Asterisk.
"EventMask"=dword:FFFFFE
The EventCache setting specifies the cache menu popup and menu select.

remove sounds on events as the first tab in sounds and notifications.
I only have the second one down, the first disable screen taps and menu activations
i dont even like the phone tap sounds. i only have programs and notifications, but not events, screen taps or hardware buttons.
then i can control the sounds via the notification tab to choose custom sounds for every event i want.

SMS problem on tytn

I am trying to disable sms sending notification and have tried following:-
Disable SMS Sent Notification
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSNoSentMsg"=dword:00000001 ->0 to enable, 1 to disable.
When i go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox, after inbox there are just two options SendDriver and Svc, where is settings?
Help will be appreciated.

Id recommend just downloading HtweakC instead sir, makes life ALOT easier.
Also it can perform the other tweaks available on the Hermes.

i only need this sms specific tweak, not interested in others. so if u could help me for that?

You have to Add the Dword Value using your registry editor "SMSNoSentMsg" with a value of 1. And i think you'd find HTweakC useful as it has other benificial tweaks.

it seems like non have read and understood my question.

If you make the registry entry you specify in post #1 you will get what you want.

if you mean you want to remove the sound and notification bubble after you send an SMS, try this registry tweak:
HKCU\control panel\notifications\default\options
change the dword value to whatever suits your needs.
here are the following dword value and corresponding results:
0 - show icon
1 - show icon and play notification sound
2 - show icon and vibration
3 - show icon and vibration and play notification sound
4 - same as 0
5 - same as 1
6 - same as 3
7 - same as 3
8 - show icon and notification bubble
9 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble
10 - show icon and notification bubble and vibration
11 - show icon and play notification sound and show notification bubble and vibration

need help!!!!!!!!!
okay so im kinda new with these things where do i go on my phone to make these changes can someone please give me step by step instructions it would really be appreciated! thanks

download Schaps advanced config, transfer to the Hermes, click on cab file. Find it in programs directory an start it. Go to messaging, turn off sms sent notification. press done, restart Hermes and viola', All fixed.
Check in your settings 1st though as you may already have a version cookrd in if you are using a cooked rom (PDACorner V25 has a good version that allos a few neat tricks).
If you decide to upgrade your rom then PLEASE, HARD SPL YOUR HERMES...
Use Hard SPL V7 found here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Cheers...

after that download what will i do?
How to install file file format is different I think it is different...

Possibly unzip/unrar the downloaded file.....

Click sound - MDA and Windows Mobile 5.0 (official tmob ROM)

How can I get rid of that "click" sound (its anoying when I press Start on my Tmobile MDA).
I have not CID unlocked the phone - not really planing due to inexperience.
Is there the path of the file I need to erase to get rid of it?
Thanks

Disable click sound
Hi!
You go to Start > Setting > Sounds & Notifications
Uncheck Events (warnings, system events) box
Cool!
P/S: I like your nickname. Can we make a friendship?

Manila 2d and phone lock

After spending the better part of 2 hours scanning various threads and finding 2 3rd party programs I have to ask..... since phone locking/unlocking is native to Windows Mobile Professional 6 is there any way to enable it in M2D??
I'm currently running ver: 1.0.1818.3719 on my Tilt.
Do I need to update my version # for this?
I'm not a newb to my phone but am to M2D. Till now I've used HTC Home 2.whatever.
Thanks in advance
John

on htc phone you can go to
Start \ Settings \ Personal \ Buttons \ End key
and choose Automatically execute the "lock device".
This will lock your device when you will press & hold end key.
If you are looking for automatically locking I suggest you to try S2U2, it has a lot of features and you can use it to get full screen caller picture as well.
