A little step forward in this utility that modified registry setting.
Changes from ver. 0.1:
Added tweak to increase TCP Window to improve network performance.
Added button to device reboot.
Added tweaks to increase audio quality through Bluetooth.
Added tweaks to show/hide some icons.
This setting are taken mainly from this site (hermes) and pccool.
As usual tell me if there are problem (it's not full tested), suggestion and ... if you like it.
thanks
Cheers
Good work, i like it. Thanks.
Audio settings don't changes...but it's not a problem...Good work!

It works great.
Can you at this one too?
Disable annoying beeps when changing in-call volume
There are actually 3 different sounds in play here: the one at the bottom end of the slider (quietest), the one in the middle posisitions (standard), and the one at the top end of the slider (loudest). These are handled by 3 registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardInCallVolume
Within each of these keys the default 'Script' value is 'p' for 'play', change the 'Script' value to blank (erase the 'p').

I make the change into the select field..apply the selection and reset the pda.After the restart i go into the panel again and no selection appears...it's blank...I'm in office now so i can't test well...i can give you more information tonight
Some other tweaks (sorry....but i don't know if they works...)
File based Registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\RegistryType=0
Remove Ringtone dalay
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Change 'Script' from 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr'
Today Date Plugin on a single line
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today]
"AutoSingeLineDatePlugin" = dword:00000001
Disconnect GPRS/UMTS button
To add Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GPRS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To have only Disconnect button:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Enable/Disable GSM/UMTS Band Selection
[\HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\]
"ShowUMTSBandPage"=dword:00000001
If they works and you integrate on your program....WITH the "Bass Fix" and the "ATI Imageon Fix" i think that TRINITY HACKS become a must-have for all trinity's users!!!
I activated all the performance hacks of v0.2
Now Avantgo does not start anymore!
Maybe it has something to do with the font cache settings!?
Deactivating the settings in the trinityhacks does not help.
Does anybody have the same problem?
How are the original registry settings, so I can rewrite them?
Thanks!

Hope this help
Thanks, but no help with that!
Can you try, if avantgo starts on you device correctly? Maybe it has to do with some other settings like the filesystem-cache or anything else!?
Ok, I did a manual synchronization of Avantgo now via the server-settings and it worked now. However I think I let the fontcache at its small size for now...

Is there a way to hide the scroll bar? I think with touchflo working better now their is no need for it. Plus it will make pie and other apps look better!
Any help or suggestions???
This might help
Found this using google & infinite patience (credits to Mistellisch)
1. Backup Registry, then using a good registry editor go to
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today > Items
2. Find the Plugin you want to be scrollbar-less, in my case UltimateLaunch.
3. Glance through the entries and find the one that says "Type". Double click type and change the value to 5
4. Go into Settings > Today and make some minor change to your today screen to force it to refresh (or just soft reset). Hopefully the changes will now be reflected.
Worked magic on my Kaiser, hope it would for you, too.
Cheers.
I think you were referring to the scroll bar in general, not just on the today screen. If so, I don't know about completely getting rid of it but you can adjust the size of it. Maybe make it reeeeaaallly small?
Here's a quote from http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-323389.html
To change the thickness of the scrollbars at the right/bottom of documents larger than the screen, adjust...
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
The default thickness is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like

Schaps Advanced Config.
Use Schaps Advanced config, to change the size of the scroll bar. I don't think you can make it disapper but, i you can make it extreeeeemly thin.
here's the link to the software.

Many, many thanks for this info kappa001.
Just what I need!
in wm 6.5.x, you can simply use livven's simple gloss themes (search for it!). the themes look great and use very snazzy looking "thin" scroll bars with no up/down or left/right arrow buttons. needless to say, the themes have a system-wide effect.

I wanted to get rid of the scrollbar on the calendar on the today page but when I changed Type for the calendar plugin to 5 the calendar disappeared completely. This is in 6.5.1 on my TP2.
What is Type "5" anyway and is there a 2, 3 or 4 also?
I tried 2, 3 and 4 just for fun and they don't help the scrollbar.

This is what i've been looking for about 1-2 hours. Thanx a lot!
This is a summary of Diamond tweaks collected from various threads on XDA and from people's contributions. Thanks to all who discovered the Tweaks (not mentioning by name because there's too many to mention and all I did is aggregate). This is a collective effort so let's keep the list growing!
thread. Let's keep the comments in the Warning: Be sure you know what you're doing and read around the Diamond forums to see where others have run into trouble and with which tweaks on which ROMs. Many people have had to Hard Reset their devices while others have had no problems so read up!
1. Boost TFL3D Performance --> Using Advanced Config, change File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072
2. Boost TFL3D Performance --> HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and change key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768
3. Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
4. Switch Mute Call on phone flipped face down: HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE : FaceDownMuteRing: change value to "1" (FIXED: thanks KuKuRiKu and everyone)
5. Change CallWaiting Tone --> HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE : by default set to \windows\waitingtone.wav by default. change to anything else
6. Boost TFL3D Scrolling Speed --> - 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. To do a Hard Reset, with the phone ON, hold down the Volume Down and Enter (round navigation) keys and press soft reset while they are pressed
8. Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
9. Downlod original CONTENT folder (Wallpaper, VIDEO, MUSIC) here http://rapidshare.com/files/121271047/CONTENT_Internal_storage.rar.html
10. Set HTC Album X button to close not minimize:ok_minimize change value to 0
11. Disable Enlarged Title bar (when you click on a notification) to the default WM behavior: HKLM->Software->HTC->EnlargeTitleBar - and change "Enable" from 1 to 0.
12. Turn off startup aninmation and sound: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ -> rename both "StartupGif" and "StartupWav" to other names
13. Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
15. Another supposed TFL3D tweak for better performance: HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:
SpeedHigh: default value (25) <-- Change to (5) / SpeedLow : default value (70) <-- Chnge to (14) save and soft reset
16. Adjust screen sensitivity: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold
Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal
17. Lightsensor Switching the Screen off- realised by yelitterulez, confirmed by pietrucci and tested by myself. When making a call the screen stays on if you leave the phone lying flat on a table. If you wait 10 seconds into the call, you can pick it up to your ear and the screen stays on.
BUT if you make a call with the phone slightly tilted/ slanted (you get the idea), the screen turns off as soon as the call gets connected!
The moment you hold the phone to your head the blacklight turns off. In fact: the moment you hide the screen with anything it turns off! (try your hand...).
This might be the reason why everybody's complaining about the screen turning off during a call: you hold the phone to your head! When you turn the screen back on manually, it stays on no matter if you hold your hand or head...
18. Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
19. More Camera Modes:
To Enable 'Burst': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
To Enable 'Sport': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
To Enable 'Video Share': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
20. Delay device autolock: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockTimeout -> Change the Dword value (30 = 30 seconds, etc)
21. Enable Manual Screen Rotation (Portrait/Landscape): HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (change from 1 to 0)
22. Hide SIM Contacts: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone - create a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0
23. Show Weekday in TFL3D (thanks to pulp) - download and install http://rapidshare.com/files/127174792/weekday.cab
24. Enable HSUPA:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AdvancedNetwork\SupportHSUPA =change it to 1
25. Enable Audio Booster without headset-->HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset set the value to 1 (soft reset will bring it back to 0)
26. Add a Call History tab to TF3D (discovered by sushilange, spread by Fabliv) --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410180
27. Add new Cities to TF3D http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918 - thanks to R. DevilR
28. Remove orphan icons and shortcuts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2461697&postcount=3
29. Four icons in a row in WM Programs/Settings screens - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2462244&postcount=16
30. Remove Vertical and Horizontal Scrollbars
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
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.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum :
32. Change system and context menu font size:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt
and change the value for the "Ht" entry to "1000" decimal (from 1200)
33. Increase maximum picture size when shooting in Burst and Sports mode:When activating "burst" and "sport" the max size of the pictures is "L" but if you change:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8\MainCamCaptSize value to 1024
and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8\MainCamSupportCaptSize to 1744Do the same for P6 and you can now shoot in these modes up to 3M and not just L - thanks to nnevynn for
34. Get Blackberry Connect working on your Diamond!! (thanks to cybertech99)

Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
nice one on the sms wake. We should expand the list! THanks!
Update:
Thanks for updating the list!
Since I don't see a tweak for Disabling SMS Conversation (The costly SMS Chat) I will post it here!
Disable SMS Conversation in WM 6.X
In Registry Editor: Create a folder named "OEM" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings"
In the new "OEM" folder, make a new DWORD key called "SMSInboxThreadingDisabled" and give it a value of "1"
That will disable the SMS conversation. When you click on the messages on the SMS tab on TF3D, it will take you to the normal SMS inbox instead.
Hope it helps
thanks a lot, keep going please
Great!
This is very useful and it helps solve a lot of problem. Will the cache size change make the D unstable?
For some they say it has...but for me, my device is running great!

Yes, I had same problem.
Hmm afaik 'File system cache' in 1) is the same as the key HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs\cachsize in 2).
So tip 1 sets it to 8mb, and tip 2 changes it from 16mb to 32mb. So that suggests its 16m to start with?
Sounds like the file system filter cache is whats making the main difference. Thats this key:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\Rep lStoreCacheSize
Can someone maybe post the original values of these two keys?

There are 3 values to be changed.
1. The Icon Cache which is suggested to be changed to 131072. The registry setting is:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE]
"limit"=dword:00020000
The value is shown as hexadecimal, which is equivalent to 131072 in decimal.
2. The second value is to be changed in FAT File System cache.
3. The third value is to be changed is Filters File System cache.
The cache sizes in #2 and #3 are usually kept same, for example 32768 decimal (32MB). Though, this eats up a lot of memory, but makes the system very fast. Lately, I have seen in KaiSer and Universal that these values are set as dynamic values.
Hope this is helpful.
KOR!

Yeah, people do know. Search for it.
Just read about a 'tweak' in another thread. It seems disabling "GPRS auto attach" in Advanced Configuration Tool helps in preserving battery live.
Read about it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395301
For me turning that option to off would be best solution as well. Even more so if it really helps save the battery.
Since I don't have a Diamond yet I havent gotten a chance to actually test this tweak.
Another thing I've found eats up a lot of battery life is the schedule to check email. I have my Direct Push set to an Exchange account and a second Internet Email account. Changing the frequency of checking the second account really makes a difference.

agree. my setup is similar to you. i was using 10 mins to check my second IMAP account, i have only around 9-10 hrs standby time. Now, i changed that IMAP account to check in every 60 mins, now, standby time is extended to more than 12 hrs.
what was the previous default File system cache and file system filter cache setting, cause my phone has slowed down since i have changed it. please reply back to me as soon as possible. thank you

Hey guys,
Off topic.... My desktop icons have a black bakground (see jpeg enclosed) and no matter what i do i can not repair them. They work correctly but look crap
Steps tried so far: (mostly gotton from google.....)
1 used tweakui to attempt repair.
2 adjusted colour depth from 32 to 16 and back again.
3 deleted icon cache, restarted to force rebuild of file.
4 several reg fixs none of which worked.
5 tried several wallpapers/themes and tried tweakin many settings.
None of the above worked and im tired now, so im hoping you guys have some suggestions
Many thanks.
Easy....
Open System Properties in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop option, and click Ok.
Job done

I know this can be done, but i would like to see the icons & text sitting on top of my wallpaper, not with a background colour, but thanks for the reply
Any other suggestions guys?
Found in the web - at least worth a try:
If you have tried everything already mentioned and still cannot get your icons to have transparent you may want to try this. Change following reg keys to a value of 0 User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] Value Name: ForceActiveDesktopOn Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = enabled) This is what did it for me. Something, I don’t know what was changing this value to 1 on my system. Once I set this to 0 I had my drop shadows back.

In addition, give TuneUp 2008 a try, it can fix a lot of REGISTRY and SYSTEM problems. The Trial Version is fully functional for 15 days.

Thanks for the advice Junner2003.
The first reg setting you suggested was at 0 already. The second one simply did not exist
Value Name: ForceActiveDesktopOn Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = enabled)

Solution
Ok guys,
I managed to find the solution. Tune up 2009 app didnt solve it although it did make my destop looking like vista (black bars and cool icons)
The problem was in "display properties/desktop/customise desktop/web". I did have at one time active web content on my desktop which i had turned off many moons ago. Along with the two web page addresses (which were inactive) i had a file "file:///C:\DOCUME~1\TIM&SA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image002.jpg" which was active? what this is and where it came from i dont know, but de selecting it did the trick and my desktop is now back to normal.
Many thanks for all your ideas and help chaps, long live XDA

changescreen should be fine. for further settigns pm me
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation
HideOrientationUI from 1 to 0
then START - settings - Buttons
And then if you hold call button then your screnn rotate.
gyrator 2 is also a very good program but it is not able to turn the touchflo userinterface but everything other it rotates with ease (including textmessaging etc.)
i cant really seem to either understand or find this directory "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation" ? is there a possible cahnce that you could specify it a little more so that even i understand? HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation

It is not a directory, you have to edit registry with registry editor program "REGEDIT" or some else.
If you are in registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation) then you have to change key "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0.

To get the action screen you have to install touchflo3d from touch pro. Of course you have to enable rotation like other posters said.
hmk thx i'll try

Activation of navigation bar requires an registry modification, and for now you can not.
OK thanks for that information but due to my phone condition do you know there is any app available to go start screen from the quick status bar?

On Lumia WP8 device, there is no easy way to make these changes. However, you can look at JTAG mod.
Can I use WP8 Registry Tools from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2395480
No. Read carefully what is mentioned :
1) This only retrieves values from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
2) It CAN read DWORD values now, but can't write. (Hell you probably won't be able to write ANYWHERE, but the code is there)

For nokia phones you can't find simple easy way to make registry changes
Better to let nokia care centers help you with this hardware problem

I don't think so .
I checked for this key on Software Hive of Emulator and I tried to write that down on my friend's Lumia 1520 I didn't see it's value .
I think it needs ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES so you may be able to write that key using GlanceBackground or Nokia Care replacement .

Lumia Storage Check is ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES. I used this application to install WPH Tweaks. And it got on my Lumia 1520. But the tweaks don't work.

All of that tweeks will not work .
for example you can't write on HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install\MaxUnsignedApp
it needs other capabilities .
but the tweek you want may work work with InteropServices .
If it doesn't I don't why and I can't help you anymore because my phone doesn't support sd card so I can't test what is the problem
how to enable and how to desable on screen soft virtual navigation bar in lumia
How to enable virtual navigation bar in 532 and other unsupported devices and how to disable without effecting phone or app crash Hi...! I recently enabled soft mode navigation bar.... But uc browser and WhatsApp and many more apps crashed immediately after open...then I disable the virtual bar by useing the value changeing 1 to 0 in ( "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE /SOFTWARE /Microsoft /Shell /NavigationBar", and create a KEY called "SoftwareModeEnabled" of type "dword-integer-32bits" and assign a VALUE "0") .. By doing this the nav bar is gone.. But apps are crashed like before.. Then i found 3 "isdoubletapoffenabled","isusermanaged" and "ishintenabled". Dont do any thing with "ishintenabled" by doing the value 0 to 1 .. It will turn off ur wifi and mobile service(sim card)..it has its own value 0 by default But another two key.. Is usable...change the 2 keys(double tap and user managed) 1 to 0 .. And restart ur phone and then u will able to open all app like before without any problem and no crash
