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 !!!

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...

Right & left SoftKeys can be changed using CERegedit while synced to PC, or PHM Regedit directly on your phone.
The keys in question can be found here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
I have mapped
HomeLSKPath to \Windows\tasks.exe
with a corresponding link name at
HomeLSKText of Tasks
There are ways to map to other Manila shortcuts like All People.

There is a limit to what can be customised.

thnx guys...that works

thats it, cool !! thanx a lot. I switched the left homekey on my TP2 in Bxsteez ROM from phone to all contacts. Much better Who needs a "Phone soft button" ??

Hi Xaddict,
Great stuff, I want to change the LSK to DeviceLock. Changing the text was obviously no problem, but do you perhaps know the path?
I tried what I got from total commander as path: \windows\VJDeviceLock.exe, but that doesnt really work..
Thanks,

Please help - can't change the right softkey!

Hi guys!
I tried to change my right softkey from "Menu" to "BT Toggle" (a bluetooth switching program I've already installed) using Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 but it didn't work on my HD2.
When I restart the HD2, the key is changed to "BT Toggle" but after entering the PIN and after HTC sense started the key is named "Menu" again.
I looked into the registry but all is right there, the changes were saved. But why is the new softkey name only displayed before starting HTC sense and not after?
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Oliver

Home RSK
I wouldn't mess with the right soft key of sense.
Only the left.
How would you edit the quick tabs?
If you aren't using sense, only the WM interface, you can edit those SK's.
Did you get BT Toggle to work?
It wouldn't for me.

My english isn't that good...

Using this post by vovichek62 as a guide I used the following process to change the right soft key:
Download LuaDec from here and extract
Copy \Windows\07c67730_manila from device to luadec folder (and somewhere else as a backup).
Open a command prompt there
Run
Code:
luadec 07c67730_manila > 07c67730_manila.lua
Open 07c67730_manila.lua in an editor like notepad
You need to change two functions. The fuction above "SetSoftKey = l_0_0" sets the text for the soft buttons. This is my modified line:
Code:
_application:SetRightSoftkey(Softkey(Locale:GetString("IDS_CONTACTS"), OnMenuPressed))
I think it was originally set to IDS_MENU. That "OnMenuPressed" is the function called when you press it.
So now you need to change that function - The function above "OnMenuPressed = l_0_0". On mine this is now:
Code:
l_0_0 = function()
_application.Navigation:Navigate(URL("Manila://people/browserlayer/peopleAll.page"), false)
end
Now, back in the command prompt run:
Code:
luac -o 07c67730_manila 07c67730_manila.lua
and copy 07c67730_manila back to your device.
If you were up for it you could probably copy some of the left soft key code to allow changing the right soft key in the registry.
Xaddict is right, once you do this you can no longer tweak your home buttons. If I need to change one I go back in to the registry and find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\0\IsSet (where 0 is the button number) and change the value to 0. If you then restart manila (or your device) you can change that button. It will still show the old text and icon until you do. I also made a simple .reg which clears all the buttons, attached. For me it was worth this hassle as I could remove the People tab.

Tx fot BT Toggle
Nice one.
Thanks very much : )

iv just made a new 07c67730_manila file that reads from the registry
so all you have to do is download my 07c67730_manila file
http://www.filefront.com/16489283/07c67730_manila
then copy it to your windows folder (backup the old 07c67730_manila file)
then in registry at:
HKLM > Software\HTC\Manila
Change:
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
HomeRSKArguments
to anything you like
for contacts:
HomeRSKPath Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeRSKText anything you like something liek contacts or all people
HomeRSKArguments leave this blank
how to remove quick Links without the menu:
all you do is hold the quick link you dont want for about 3-4 seconds and then drag it away this works on my dutty rom but gessing its the same for all roms

I am using HD2Tweaks - beats the hassle of backing up/copying manila files, editing registry entries - to assign the left and right softkey at the Home/Today screen.
But the available options are a fixed set.
Telephone (default for left), Menu (default for right), Backlight, Contacts, Contacts List, Notes, Calendar WM, Calendar WM (week view), Calendar WM (month view), New Appointment, Tasks, Messaging, SMS/MMS, Internet, Opera, Camera, Album, Comm Manager, File Explorer, Google Maps, Internet Sharing, MyPhone, RSS Hub, Radio FM, Windows Live, You Tube.

Get Send button Back in Htc Messenging

i read this tweak on some other forum so i thought i should share it here aswell....
Get "Send" icon back in HTC Messaging (thanks, Gooser711):
1) Disable HTC Sense
2) With a registry editor, navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila"
Change "LSK_Send_Msg" value from "1" to "0"
3) Enable HTC Sense

works
Great! I missed that button very much. It replaced the "back" hotkey, so there was no quick way to return to main page. Thanks.

Homescreen quicklink fonts look bad

How come the fonts on the quicklink names look so bad? Is there any way to get them to look better?

My friend has the Droid Incredible with a very similar HCT Sense home screen but the Icons and weather text looks much better. The fonts on HD2 look like they are being resized and not at their default size.

turn on cleartype

The HCT Sense home screen and or Windows Mobile has a cleartype setting? Do tell...
It already looks blurry and that's what cleartype does right? I've removed it from Windows 7 and Internet Explorer as it gives me a headache.

cleartype stops it looking pixely/grainy. works well on our screen
It can be found at
settings - menu - all settings - system - screen - cleartype tab.
if you cant find the screen settings ( i think they were off by default in the tmous rom) you can turn it on by creating the reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE
thats all key, there doesnt need to be any values of any type in there. If that key exists, cleartype is on.

I had just found this and it makes it look diferent but still pixely/grainy:
"By default, the cleartype has been disabled in HD2 ROM. Add this to the registry \HKLM\System\GDI\ClearType\ClearType as DWord Value is 1 '
"You can additionally enable cleartype in landscape mode by setting the following key to 0 though: HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/OffOnRotation '

All you have to do is go to the registry. Edit hklm\ControlPanel\Pen\ ... Change the value of hide from 1 to 0. Save and reboot the phone. Then go to settings/all settings/screen and on the Clear type tab choose enable. Reboot and you'll see the fonts the way you want to now.
That was my biggest gripe with the phone for sure.
