Hello.
Just wish to know is there any guide on tweaking the reg.key for some system setting, for example, to change the colour of the text at the today screen, etc.
Thanks
Raymond

Sure just search the site. An example for the start menu can be found in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6783&highlight=color+colour+menu+registry

Thanks.
Is there a list that show the various keywords for the various setting, i.e. the colour of each element, the timing setting, etc ?
Thanks.
Raymond
Do you think it would be possible to even change menu langage in the reg.key?
What I want to change is for ex. the pre made alternatives that you can use when edeting a new task "call", "meet", "update", etc.
I would like to have those in Swedish, may that be possible?
Regards,
Johnny
Camera settings (to remove snow effect):
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/AppDefSettings/General
Set Contrast - 5, Brightness - 6, Saturation - 3, Hue - 5,Sharpness - 3
These settings will not reset themselves after closing the camera app or doing a soft reset! They become defaults.
Hope you find it useful!
kta,
That was great. It was minimized.
But i have not checked the output of the shot.
will it affect the output shot?
I tried this on my XDa2i but it doesnt work, the lowest value it allows me to enter is 0
To bad that won't work on the XDA II the camera needs a lot of help too. Does anyone know of a fix for the XDA II?
Emil, the output shot will be better as well!
Daredevil, the values are +ve, ie. 5, 3, etc. Maybe I should have used a ":" instead of a "-".
Great work!!!
thanks for the tip
I do not have these settings in the registry. Is this because I have not updated the ROM ?
Hi, where do I find this regedit?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You don't need to go into the registry...
fire up the camera application and click the settings button
click on the tools menu and choose adjust...
the settings are in the drop down box...
In this way you won't have to meddle with the registry...
amazing!
Hey kta, I tried it out, just wanna let you know the results are amazing!
I had given up on this camera (and just about the phone as a whole) especially when my friend checked with someone working with doopod said that this is a hardware (lens) problem so we can't really do anything about it. But you did it!
Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate the fix!
Fantastic! I applied it and it is much better
Thank you VERY much
amazing!

If you don't change them in the registry, the settings will reset themselves once you close (not minimise) the camera application or when you change the ambience from auto to night, etc.
The only permanent fix is to change them in the registry. Here's a link to a free registry editor: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=31
PS: To all those that showed their appreciation: You're welcome
Maybe I missed something but I still do not find these attributes in the registry.........see my earlier post and screen shot.
kta, I agree that to get the change to stick its a registry change but in my registry I don't have these parameters. Is this because I have the older ExtROM ?
Grunt,
I'm not sure why you don't have these in your registry. I don't think it's the ROM version. I would try changing the settings in the camera settings and see if they get created. If that doesn't work I would try entering them manually as DWORD values base decimal (Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, Sharpness).
Why aren't you upgrading to 1.11 anyway?
for mini?
hi does this registry tweak work for mini also? if yes, Brightness - 5
is it refering to brightness = 5? sorry saw someone on the above mention post trying to go lower than 0...thanks
Just to clarify:
Camera settings (to remove snow effect):
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/AppDefSettings/General
Set Contrast to 5, Brightness to 6, Saturation to 3, Hue to 5,Sharpness to 3
Hey guys,
I was wondering if you might give me some suggestion and comments about the application i just developed, well its my first ever developed app for smart device so i hope u don't mind. For HTC magicians only i guess unless other models have the same registry structure for the camera settings.
Features
-Save profiles
This application allows you to save settings and name it as profiles, thanks to kta and deuxani for providing some configs which i made as preset in the meantime.
-More camera settings
-and some more...
Just try it out
Known issues:
-Profile has no immediate effect
If any of u guys know how to make immediate effect after modifying registry please let me know, afaik i had to do a soft boot or just click on "reset" on the camera settings.
-Error if click 'Apply' on empty profile
Well, haven't put any exceptions handlers just yet, need to know more bugs first
Need comments about ease of use and user interface also bugs if u happen to find any. I try to make it as simple as i can. Thanks all.
::adit
Great!
Just installed it! Works fine!
Excellent, maybe a little addon after you select a profile directy start the camera ( this is the reason you start it )
Keep up the good work!
First Thanks on this Idea!!
Will test further and report back.
What do i wrong ? It doenst do anything for me except show me the frame rate ... :?
Thats what i meant by "immediate effect" which i haven't figure out yet, you must go to the camera settings and adjust and click on "reset" because I was able to change the registry for both settings (ie. Contrast and Contrast_User) but i think the camera needs something so it can "refreash" and get the values from the registry which also does on the ambience. I hope someone can figure this out..
::adit
great job adit
if you are looking for more advice about developing this plug-in.. I suggest to post this topic in the Development and Hacking forum.
keep up the good work :wink:
Nice job, and its working.
I've tried this app and i have a problem:
in the registry i have 2 values for each parameter (for example brightness and brightness user)
The software change the non user value but if i softreset my Magician user's values becomes default. I must open configuration and reset values and they becomes like the non user values.
Is there another solution?
I've also tryed to delete user keys but after a SR they are again.
Sorry for my english

The application changes both default and user (default ie brightness, and user ie brightness_user). I did this to make sure that even after a soft reset since the effect does not change immediately, the values are not changed. If you find it inconvenient, i'll rebuild the application so it changes only the xxx_user (ie xxx=brightness)? For the time being, if you want to reset the settings to the original state change all values in the non user to '5'.
I try to change something on touch flo 3d, I try the manila customizer, it works but the program is not in the correct shape and it's hard to click on apply button, there is just something created fot touch hd?
Is it possible to create a todayscreen with nothing else on it except a nice picture of your own choice?
Hi,
I think so, you just turn of Touch flow in Start-> Settings -> Today and then right tab for items.
unless anyone knows different !
Ofiaich
You can disable tf3d and have a clear image but you lost all the function of touch flo, I think you can use a sort of screensaver ( slide2unlock? ) but now you have to wait for new version that use in the correct way the 800x480 display look in the post of working software
Hi, I just bought a new set of HTC touch diamond, however as compared to the old one. The contrast of this new set seems really weird.
The black and dark tones are like grey even when i set the brightness of the screen to a much lower level. So i believe it is the contrast of this set that went wrong.
Is there anything I can do about it? or any problem that adjusts the contrast of the screen?
-Update-
After some google and meddling, I realised Windows Mobile actually came with this contrast applet that is hidden by phone manufacturers.
After some research I manage to make the contrast applet appear in the settings.
1) Using Registry Editor, rename Redirect to xRedirect in HKLM/Control Panel/contrast
2) If Redirect is unchange instead there is an added xRedirect. Delete the Redirect
3) Restart your HTC and Contrast should now appear
4) ???? However I am unable to change the contrast as the settings seems to be fix. ??
Does anyone know how i should continue from here? Do i have to modify the default in HKLM/Control Panel/contrast
Hope this prove to be useful for ppl who wish to adjust their contrast as well.
Hope someone can help me out. Thank you
Anyone know how i should continue from here? Do I have to modify
yes you can let the contrast cpl show, however that doesn't work on the diamond.
The contrast settings doesn't affect the screen
From what I have read in your post this isn't a software but an hardware fault
It would be wise to RMA the device.

EqX
Thank you for your Reply and clarifications.
So you mean the contrast problem is actually a screen problem?
Do you have any idea what would they do if I send my phone for RMA? Would they simply change the screen or change the entire phone for me?
Btw I live in Singapore. Heard they have really bad HTC care services in over here.
You're not alone... We are many people who want to find a way to increase the contrast on our Diamonds... It would really make our displays great if we could because it's a conrast issue, no doubt.
Been playing aroung with Resco Photo Viewer and slighty increasing the contrast when viewing photos makes them look awesome!!!
I'm afraid the default display contrast is hardcoded and cannot be changed by software but hopefully I'm wrong. Maybe it can be reached by some hidden menu???

yes, then we can go search for gold under the forgotten mountain...
it wont be hard-coded, it will be set by some software somewhere, just not apparent to the user.
I have actually got the contrast applet to show in my touch Diamond to show in the settings already. Refer to the first post on how to do it.
The problem now is even with the contrast setting show. I am unable to adjust the contrast sliding the control. It basically does no changes to the diamond..
and beyond that.. It is beyond my knowledge and expertise to do anything else. Thinking about RMAing my Diamond. But wondering how would they go about helping me? Change a new phone.. Doubt so..
