Hello,
I have a question. Maybe someone knows on this forum???
Where can I find the keys which change the speaker icon in the taskbar? Next tot the phone signal there is a speaker icon. It changes to vibrate and silence when selected. Which keys in the registry do this? How is this icon changed?
I kow it is possible, because some apps support this, but I can't find how to do!
Thanx for anyones help!
No one knows? Anyone should......
Where is this one switched in the registry? Which value changes???
Hope some can help!
Phone Profiles from JGUI can do.... So someone should know about this...
Help would be really appreciated, then developing can go on!!! With I hope an excellent product for everyone!
what makes you think that those programs use the registry to change icons or what ever it is you are talking about

Sorry, don't get your point exactly! I try to let the icon (volume icon) get changed programmaticaly, like it changes when changing the volume to vibrate or off.
I suspect that it is done bu the registry! Any other ideas? Anyone knows how this is done? Someone should know....
Are you actually wanting to mute the volume aswell ?
Try looking in HKey_Current_user\Control Panel\Volume (don't have a PPC here atm, so can't check)
Otherwise, I would export your registry, change the setting to vibrate manually, then export again. Copy both these to your PC and compare them.. there are many programs that can do this for you to make life easy
well maybe it's a function in the api / sdk / framework of the pocketpc phone edition
whats make you think it's set in the registry?

Well, that was the first thing that came to me. I saw it in the application of JGUI I stated above and though that it should be a registry value. I couldn't think of any SDK / Framework / API, because that would make it almost impossible to implement it like this.
The volume can be muted as well, but for now the muting volume and vibration is done already, but I am still looking for how to change the picture of the volume icon.
Rudegar, do you have any idea then???

The key you gave me indeed changes when setting some different volume settings. But I didn't find any key yet in that place which changes the picture I mentioned. Anyone?
Why could no one tell me about this? No developer has ever tried to hack this picture? Any ideas are welcome!
may lightning strike me down for posting a microsoft link here
but maybe the today screen is what you need to be able to edit to get what you want.
I'm not 100% sure, but it may point you in the right direction.

the registry has nothing to do with what you want to do.

What is doing the trick then? Why can't I manage to change these icons until now? Anyone??
those icons are located in one of the OS dlls. I believe that it's in the mfce300.dll Maybe you can change it creating a .mui for that dll but I'm not sure.
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?

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

Hi all,
I've tried to search for this information, but got overwhelmed with too much unrelated results, so I'll risk being called 'dumb' and ask.
Is there a registry key where I can get/set the sound settings of the phone? In particular, I am aware of the HKCU/ControlPanel/Volume key, but could not find anything about the vibration settings.
Ciao,
GioVAX

Me too.. nid to tweak da vibration.. I nid da vibration not that strong.. n like ON, OFF, ON, OFF... dont continuosly.. feel like will make my WM6 spoil faster..
Check out Treo vibe, I think it's just what you guys are looking for.
Additional information
I'll try to be more clear.
I want to develop a rltoday/batteryStatus theme, and would like to replace the top bar. I would like to show the sound state of the phone, and already found the registry setting to read if the sound is on.
I need to also retrieve the vibration status: any registry key address to spare?
Ciao,
GioVAX
Do you mean the vibration setting for the ring tone?
The only one I know of is HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0 it will have a string like av2pwr or something like that, the v standing for vibrate.
I am not sure what device you are looking for, but here is the registry for hermes vib button reg.
HKLM\Software\OEM\Button\PhoneVibrateButton,0x00010001,1
although i change the ring tone at the settings, it remains same unless change the ring tone in current theme settings.
Jap, same here?! I think it is some kind of configuration...
Somebody has a solution to this?
just go to Theme>Customize>Ringtone to change your ringtone
this is a known issue that hope might fix on next release
Thx.

it's already written in my question.
I don't find any "ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=......" or "...... music_vol_steps=....." settings in the A7 build.prop.
I added these lines to my build.prop to increase the steps from the default (which appears to be 7) to 30, but saw no change after reboot.
Is anyone aware of where the size of the volume steps is set, so I might make the steps smaller in adjustment?
Thanks

Try and see if ro.config.media_vol_steps and ro.config.vc_call_steps works for you.

Tried it as you typed and also ro.config.vc_media_steps=30
but neither made a difference. I suspect it is set somewhere in the SystemUI where I don't have access.

If you want to, you can use gravity box to change it.

I've just tested this on B08 rooted and it works are you sure you've disabled system write protection so that your build.prop changes survive a reboot?

I'm good there.
Thinking back tho, I only checked the ring tone steps from the home page (and that wasn't one of the volume adjustments made), so very like that build.prop edit DID work for what it was set for. I'll try again.
BTW, did you use the "media" or "music" entry?

'media' as the 'music' variant doesn't seem to work on newer iterations of Android any more.
ro.config.media_vol_steps=80
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=40
These settings work for me.
I just found this thread and I'd like to make this change on my phone too.
I find my phone has to go up to about 80% max volume before I can really hear things on the headphones/earbuds and at that point, it's only a couple clicks away from max volume.
I'm not very familiar with Android stuff yet, so could somebody provide me with some very basic step-by-steps on how to do this or where to find the file to change?
My phone is the US version, running B20 with locked BL but is rooted.

The suggestions in this thread only change the increments between volume steps, NOT overall volume. Good luck!

Yes, I understand this only changes the increments, but I would still like to find out how to make the change so I can have finer-grained control of the volume, even at higher levels.

It's pretty straight forward since you are rooted: use a File Manager & Text Editor to add the lines below to /system/build.prop Save & then reboot. Your option as to the number of steps.
It is always good practice to make a nandroid backup prior to making changes to give you a recovery point in the event of a mistype or other error. Goodluck
ro.config.media_vol_steps=30
ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=30

I did as suggested but it didn't seem to change anything for me.
I had to use the command to unlock system file changes first, because the change wasn't sticking after reboot at first.
I put those 2 lines at the bottom of the /system/build.prop file
Is it working properly on your phone?
Edit:: Scratch that, i was looking at the ringtone slider rather than the media/apps volume control.
Thank you!

Yep, changing ringtone steps is tougher. It takes an edit of a System UI .jar file or the use of an Exposed Module.
Glad these worked for you!
