Hi All,
I am sure many of you have some tweaks for the Touch to make it a better phone. I prefare "Registry" tweaks, there is a little lag when you end call, like 3 seconds & i cant find the Tweak for it in the registry.
So if you have some tweaks you think they are usefull, please feel free to post them here.
Thank you All.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting]
Change the value of EndCallTime from 3000 to 1000 (that's one second). Enjoy!

what does it realy do? more precise endCallTime?
Thanks
Math
Yeah... in milliseconds... 3000 = 3, 1000 =1... pretty neat!
"there is a little lag when you end call, like 3 seconds & i cant find the Tweak for it in the registry"
It reduces that lag from 3000ms to 1000ms (or whatever value you type)

me too...italian rom
where is this setting?
i dont have that registry key already... should i add it? if so what exactly should the registry key say?
unfortunatly that key does not exsist in the registry, its avalaible on the Touch Dual, so anymore on that ?
Can we add that key ? Anymore usefull tweaks?
i have touch enhanced 256 MB version with English ROM and even I dont have this key.
Please help somebody. this 3 secs wait is damn annoying for me

Seems to be a very nice tweak for the Touch Dual.
Have the Touch Surface 1.31WWE on my Elf, but reg-key unfortunately also not avail in that rom.
We might ask very nicely to one of the great cooks on this forum...
Lets hope someone knows how to cut that 3 seconds lag, its ticking me off.
Pretty Please =)
Just add it...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting (not that there shouldn't be a space between Extend and Setting)
3000 = 3 seconds and so out

So we must make a new folder inside the PHONE folder named PhoneExtendSetting. In that folder add a new regkey with the name EndCallTime and give that the value 1000. Is that correct ?

You need a registry editor to access to this section of Windows Registry
where do i find that registry tweak downloader thing at?
I tried it on the Touch and I don't see any difference. What delay are you exactly talking about, is it the time the Touch takes to get back from the Dialing screen to the Home screen? If so, it doesn't work on the 'normal' Touch.
ok, i have exported the file using Klimregedit. just import it on ur elf & it should work, i have the settings set to 0 "ZERO" not 1000.
Please rename the extension to .reg

Hey.
Here is the way to change the homekeys IN TFLO 3D.
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Here is:
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (The green WM 6.1 logo)
BY "teddyen66"
Hi
Have tried it but can't get the labels or items opened to change. Can you post an example of the string you're using?
Thanks alot. Finally some usefull apps on the softkey!!!
;-)
Nice one Moooooa *blink* *blink*

Nice tip - thanks.
Changed Phone to Camera as I find it a pain in the ass to get the camera up and running quickly! Who needs Phone - as pressing the Call key does the same thing.

Nice thought! I was thinking the same as well, or the other alternative is to activate/deactivate Bluetooth but does anybody know the string to Enable Bluetooth?
Thanks in advance!
Just wondering - why use registry when you have that option in Preferences?
"Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (The green WM 6.1 logo)"
So i tried it i just changed the path to another image (jpg) in the internal storage. I got a blank screen.
So does the image you choose have to been in the device?
Does it have to be .png?
If so whats the file path to the device.
Thanks very much or maybe im doing it all wrong you tell me please.
Cheers! thanks!

\Windows\CommManager.exe brings up the Comm Manager, IMO even more useful.
I would love to see configuration of long press of other keys than End Call, though.

Please teach me dude how do you make it to boot your own image. Ive changed the image path but still nothing.

Hi.
I have changed the text on the right button. I want the right button to "link" to my contacts, but I cannot find out what the contacts are called on the Diamond?

Yo dude. I just checked it out.
Try: Start>settings>buttons
However, there is only 1 button that you can set (or maybe that what i know),
from the drop down menu, choose "camera". Viola!
Thru trial and error, i found out that the Button 1 is actually the call button.
Which means: press it once to go into phone mode, long press (hold) to activate camera. Hope that helps.

On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me
There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?
thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after
Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0
ah, excellent, thanks
just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.
I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)
I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?
Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!
Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry ormz.
I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?
lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second
someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?

What are you looking for? Are you tryting to navigate to the registry through file explorer? If so, you need a reg editor to do that...
You know this is an old thread, right?
yeah i know its a old thread... i had a registor editor.. actually acouple. i found what i was looking for.. just didnt start with hkml.. thanks though for replying..
Hi all,
In the program tab, there are few items were locked, can not be removed. Anybody can enlight us how to unlock these items, I don't use that few items often, I'd rather change something using more often. Please refer to the screen captured. Thanks!
Second Part of my first post.... ahem.... only post..... ahem....
Hope this helps. I would backup the Registry/or those keys first incase you want to get them back if you delete them.

Also, can i just ask what battery icon is that? Does it work well on the D2?
Thanks
I just did this today.
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/
The Reg Folders correspond to the shortcut location. 0 = first (Home) and so on.
Change "IsReadOnly" from 1 to 0
Hi,
and nobody knows how to go further then 19 applications?
i would had appreciated that HTC implemented , a customizable
multi-pages/tabs programs list, sliding from page 1 to 2 etc with a finger gesture.
19 is not enough for me and pi8 installation created at least 8 entries(task, calendar...) in the "standard" programs list , making me scrolling uselessly down
thanks

I installed the cab then restarted ...not there

Again many thanks
Haha.. Singtel sells HTC? I thought only starhub has the contract to sell it.... I bought mine from starhub

Hi Guys,
That's a great solution to ged rid of the useless tabs. Thanks a lot!
Is there a chance to put Folders/Directories in the Start Menu? This would be even better.
Before on my Kaiser I had MortButtons and for example a tab for Internet applications, one for games, one for tools, etc.
I miss this...

Does Clicking on the Start button pull up the programs? That would be the programs tab. If you are looking for the programs tab on the bottom of TF3D well it is not there. You can do a reg edit to enable it down in the tabs but it does nothing. You cannot add, edit, or launch an app from it. Sorry.
In ProgramLauncher entry, you don't forget to add a dword totalItemCount and put the max value you want (for example 30 in decimal, for 30 icons on ProgramLauncher).
If you create 31 folders in the registry,the icon appears but you can't add the program, you need to increase the totalItemCount , 35 for example.

Hey guys today am going to share a registry key that could help you to get better screen resolution in all apps. I tested it on my device and it is giving good result
PATH: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme
KEY: FontScale
VALUE: any value b/w 10 to 100 (recommended 50)
I hope it helps you
Click thanks if you like
Got any comparison pics?
Looks neat to me, using the UserPreferenceWidth did the same but for some apps only, i thought we could add the fifth button in action center with this too.
Any key for that?
you did not get a better screen, you just made the text smaller
under ease of access you can do this , Text size

No in ease of access you dont get as low as he has mentioned.
Use UserPreferenceWidth=75
that too gives lower font size

weird, it worked for me on Lumia 525, u need to restart the phone once u edit the registry, atleast that was what I had to do to get it to work. Remember to pin the Preview for developers app to the start screen before u restart the phone or else it disappears from the app list.
i.e if you use the PfD reg tool hack
That on my Lumia 525, pretty sweet, no much use though
Any key to change font?
This is a lot better to add this key insteed change font scale!!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme]
"UserPreferenceWidth"=DWORD:0x0000004B
& for 5 actions button:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Settings\QuickSettingElements\Pinned]
"AllowedQuickSettingsElements"=DWORD:00000005
