Registry Hacks - FAQ / HowTos

I thought creating a thread that shows the various registry hacks might be helpful/useful/contructive/destructive.
I am still pretty new to all of this and would love to know what others have discovered to get 'more' from our PPCs.
Thanks in advance for the contributions!
I am using PHM Registry for my editor.

did you try searching? they are scattered all over this forum

That is why I thought it might be nice to have one location for them.

Registry Hacks - List 1
You can download and install PHM Registry Editor on your phone to modify the registry.
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Unlocking/Unhidding the extended_rom
\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV \
then change the value (default at 1) to 0
Wait at least a minute before doing a soft reset.
----
Get rid of the voicemal icon on the '1' key (3.16+)
The 3.16 rom has added an voicemail icon to '1' key which also caused my skin to look messed up. You can disable it:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunctio n\CDMA\
set the DWORD value
"EnableVoicemailIcon" = "0"
by default it is set to 1.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB
STRENGTH_LOW set to 1.
--------------------------------------------------
16-Disable Ambient Light Sensor
KEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\BACKLIGHT set auto sensor from 1 to 0
--------------------------------------------------
17-how to get rid of some of thoes annoying sounds while on calls or making calls (or attempting), such as adjusting the volume,
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
Loudestincallvolume = the sound it makes when you turn the volume all the way up (that annoying little useless sound) delete this key to remove that
Quietestincallvolume = the same but for when you turn it all the way down
Networkdrop = the dropped call /w lost signal sound
Calldrop = caller hangs up before you do sound
---------------------------------------------------
18-Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
NOTE: I tried this on my 6800 and changed the v0 to v1 and now it doesn't have just one long vibrate. v0 sets it to vibrate always.
-----------------------------------------------------
19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER
To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)
-----------------------------------------------------
20-Change scroll bar size
Navigate to HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\ and tweak the following values.
cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 13)
cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)
-----------------------------------------------------
21-Save Attachments or the Whole Email on your SD Card
The Key in WM6 changed from WM5. In WM6 it is:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
For Attachments add "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments" datatype="string"
For the rest of the email add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox" datatype="string"
For the paths above to work, you need to have the Inbox folder and Attachments subfolder created already. You must reboot for them to take effect.
-------------------------------------------------------
22-add the AM/PM to your time in the title bar
To Add AM or PM
1) Open your registry editor (either PHM Registry Editor or Resco Explorer 2003).
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
3) Create 1st String Value: Name = S1159 & String = Am
4) Create 2nd String Value: Name = S2359 & String = Pm
5) Create 3rd String Value: Name = STFmt & String = hh:mm t'M'
6) Soft-reset
There has to be a space after the am or pm otherwise it will not display
Also
am=aM pm=pM
Am=AM Pm=PM
--------------------------------------------------------
23-Changing SoftKeys
Create the following keys and Strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3
112 is the left key and 113 is the right.
Set Default to what you want the key to read (ie. SMS)
Now for each key create a new string named Open and set the target path.
--------------------------------------------------------
24-This edit allows you to see the duration of your Vision connection along with a button to disconnect it.
You see it in the bubble that is displayed when you tap the Vision icon.
Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click ControlPanel
Click Phone
[at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone'
Click the bottom menu 'edit'
Select new dword value
Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes).
Select the 'hexidecimal' button.
Type 10
Click ok.
You should now see in the 'name/data' section:
Flags2 16 (0x00010)
When done, reset the device.

Great hacks. Thanks for your contribution.

big list of em over here.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Tweaks+and+Hacks?t=anon

im usually not one to mess up my phone (ie im usually very cautious, dont play with what i shouldnt) but i wouldnt touch that ringtone modifying hack. i just tried it, hoping to set the ringtone more like it was on an old razr of mine (4vibes and a break) and it really messed up the phone application. like it wouldnt open. even after multiple restarts, everything. after i called my phone from another one, the phone app opened, thankfully, and then it started working but gave me quite a scare before that
EDIT- nope, that didnt fix it either. even after calling from another phone, once my 6800 is restarted, the phone app wont work again. god this will be the 4th hard reset this week. lame.

Duration of the rington
Has anyone an idea if it is possible to say the phone how long the ringtone should play till the phone hangs up and went into mailbox.
I mean is it possilbe to set the duration to eg. 30 sec or more till it hangs up.

I know there is a hack to stop ActiveSync from starting automatically but I can't find it. Searched here and PDAphonehome. Anyone have it?

Hey guys, I'm an active user on the Wing forums. I was wondering if there is such a reg edit to save SMS to the SD card instead of on the phone? Thanks for any details!

Ringtone Volume

I couldn't find a post about how to boost the rather feeble ringtone volume but after a bit of research I got to the bottom of it :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Sound Catagories/Ring
The default value is 5, I changed this to 9 and now its good and loud.
Hope that's helpful to someone.

Wich key ? because none have default value 5 !

Thanks, this helped.

key: InitVol

I tried it on my Touch Cruise but doesn't seems to make any differences.
I still have to use WavePad to amplify my mp3 ringtones.

I think its most effective if they are wma.
Best if they are : 48 kbps, 44 kHz, mono.
I tested with mp3 and (by ear) it didn't seem so clear.

Tested with mp3 but the modification doesn't seems to change ringtone volume.
and when I soft reset my TC, the reg key come back to its default value 5.

Incoming Sound Calls

Hi sorry i'm a newbie here,
Would like to know if anybody is experiencing low call volumes from smses/incoming calls?
I've been like getting too many miss calls and unread texts due to the volume ringer apparently being too soft to be noticed.
I've set the volume to the max of the settings but i still get soft sounds and lotsa missed calls.
Does anybody have any help to this, my friends OMNIA seems to have another settings in which he got this weird number combination and when he enters and sets, the volume becomes visibily loud.
Thank you and sorry if its really lame for me to be asking this.

well i'm facing the same problem!
could anyone help please?

Coming from a Nokia N95 to the X1 I too would like to know as the speaker on this phone is its biggest let down in my opinion.

It really depends on the sound file.
Some sounds are loud as hell as well as some are unusably low,
llike the tunes from SE site.
I checked many of them.

im having this problem

I had a similar problem. I came across the following somewhere on this forum.
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation
There are three values below that 0, 1 and 2. General sound is associated with category 2 and this is probably set to 1 at the moment. I have changed the value associated with category 2 to 3 for the moment. I have heard that it can be changed to as high as 5 but I don't want to damage the speaker.
So in short change the HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Attenuation\2 registry setting from the default 1 to a higher value (between 1 and 5) and this will factor up the volume for most phone functions. Once you've done that power cycle the phone for the change to take effect.

[Q] Unable to edit registry

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I am trying to update the
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\V1\Font Alias]
registry keys but with CE Reg Editor it says it doesn't have permission. I can edit the entries in many other places though. I've dug around a bit and the below appears to come recommended for getting round some security (particularly for some dll's and cabs), but depending on where I look the numbers are a bit different and sometimes the keys are as well. Please can someone confirm if these are the keys and whether they are all necessary.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies \0000 1001 = 2
Change the value data from 2 to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies \0000 1005 = 16
Change the value data from 16 to 40
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Policies\Policies \0000 1017 = 128
Change the value data from 128 to 144
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Security\Policies \Policies
Add new value "0000101b": Dword = 1
Thanks!!
I've upgraded to the new 3.14 WWE ROM BTW and I don't remember having this problem before (it could be that one of the cabs I applied though made the changes for me, I'm just not sure)
UPDATE: Just found this

Fix low speaker/call volume and whatsapp delay in CM 12

Notable Issues and Fixes​1. Whatsapp notification delay : You might have noticed whatsapp notification doesn't show up that fast, the same might happen to other custom ROMs too.
Fix: Search and install "PNF Root" from google play store. It will ask for root accept it, then set these two parameters in settings as follows "Mobile heartbeat interval 6 minutes" "Wifi heartbeat interval 5 minutes". This will fix the delay issue with notification on whatsapp or maybe other applications too!
2. Low speaker/ earpiece volume: sound volume seems to be always low when it comes to cyanogen mod you can fix it without installing any kernels! Its simple and easy and will give you amazing sound output.
Fix: The fix is scattered in this thread but for others who might be having the same issue I will post it here with details.
Search and install "Ex File Explorer" from google play. Once you open it tap "menu" then navigate to "Root explorer" and turn it on" Then a new window will pop-up now tap on "Mount R/W". Then tap the radio button that says "RW" on path and system. We need to make it R/W to edit the sound file that will change the volume settings"
After doing that, navigate to the following location /device/etc/sound/t03g. Tap the file and open it as "text" now select "ES Note Editor" and locate the following lines in the text file.
we need to change two values. Scroll down a few times until you see this
</path>
<device name="speaker">
<path name="on">
There a few lines down you can see <ctl name="Speaker Volume" val="57"/>
Now just change the value to "63" so that the line will look like <ctl name="Speaker Volume" val="63"/> I found out that 63 is the maximum value. You could use 60 if that is way too louder for you.
Now we need to scroll down a little more down and locate this line <device name="earpiece"> now locate this line <ctl name="Output Volume" val= "62"/> edit the value to 62, if you have any lower value in there. I also changed <ctl name="AIF1 Boost Volume" val ="2"/> and <ctl name="AIF2 Boost Volume" val ="2"/>
After doing the above steps save the t03g file and go back to the es explorer/ root explorer settings and change back the values in Mount R/W to "RO" for both path and system.
Now tap okay and restart your phone. You will have amazing sound volume for speakers and call. Even better than Stock!!

Nice

Thanks for the excellent post & solutions. You seem to have mistyped the file locations which I've fixed in this post which is underlined in italics. Hope you can correct your original post making this one redundant. Thanks.
