I am trying to modify the registry (do not wnat the SIM contacts to show). Well strangely anought if I modify it I see the effect right away even without restarting. But once I restart (Power Down & Power up, or soft reset) the reg change reverts to the original setting. I know this was a problem on some smartphones you needed to modify some kind of registry setting to get it stick, but that also meant that your Device ID (for TOMTOM e.g.) would change as well... Anyone ??
Sure that you did power-down and -up?
What you describe sounds like a soft-reset; the changes won't stick.
Do your change, save it , power down by hold in the on/off button. That will stick.
1- Change the reg key
2- Close ALL open programs
3- Power down (normally; NOT holding button for long time)
4- Wait at least one minute!!!
5- Power up, and reset after at least 20 sec pause...
Changes should stick then...
I'm not sure why it is, but changing the registry not to show sim contacts sets itself back to its original setting after a reset. I've changed other registry settings and they all stuck. If you notice, in the contacts-->menu-->options you have the option to show contacts only which hides the sim contacts but as soon as you reset your phone they come back there too. Apparently HTC thinks it's important to always see your sim contacts and not have the option to hide them or something.

Moaske!
Thanx but it still does not stick. Funny is though that when I do change the reg key the effect is immediate, on my old Vario II I needed to reset before the change was active, and on the TyTn II the change is effective right away, because after changing I looked in my contacts and al the SIM contacts are gone. But after a reset (following your instruction) the reg key is back to 1.
OK I just changed another reg key (the one that controls the dialer skin) and that one sticks... I think xeno1 is right HTC seem to think that We always want to see our SIM contacts!?
Anyone with a solution ??
I've got an idea, but not quite sure how to impliment it, but it should be pretty easy. If you've noticed, you don't have to do a soft reset after you do a registry settings change, the effects are immediate. Anyone know how to put a file in the startup folder that will just do the registry settings change on boot up?

Ehm...maybe this may be to easily thought up, but exporting a reg key from your reg editor, and placing that file in the startup folder, would that work?

I tried that and as soon as my phone reboots the registry editor opens as if it's importing that key and then shuts back down again but when I open up the reg editor again it's back to 1. I've also tried just going to the reg file in file explorer and clicking on it and still it won't let it change that one key. This is starting to make me really wonder why that key is so important that they need to lock it like that.
Im glad im not the only one with this problem.. guess ill wait for a fix.
waiting for a fix as well...
I have a fix, thanks to NuShrike over at MoDaCo.

Excellent, worked like a charm...Thank you
Just wondering is anyone knows how to remap the stupid PTT button so I can use it for voice command??
I tried the PTTfix for the hermes, it disabled PTT but didn't allow me to reassign the button to anything else.
thanks,

Install Vibra Switch, then map this app to the button from the programs folder.

I hate to ask stupid questions, but installing this app, does not seem to enable a new hardware button. I still only show a total of 5, with no option of the PTT button. I am looking at the "buttons" commandlet in settings
What am I missing?
Try AEBPlus
isnt there just a simple way to do it in the registry?
or a different way to change it?
Solved it
Ok this actually can be done in the registry, what you will need to do first is stop the PPT service from loading when you boot up, I used SK tools and removed it from the start-up section of that program. Then you need to goto:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
Add a new key called 40C6
then I added a string called Name with the value Button 6
you should now be able to assign a program to PTT through settings/buttons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
if for whatever reason if its not there yet these are all the values I have under key 40C6
(default) "path to your program in quotes"
dword: BtnWnd value=0
dword: Flags value=0
string: Name value=Button 6
string: ResetCmd value "path to your program in quotes"
string: WndCls LEAVE BLANK
if you need to enter all that, go for it, but I would assume it would work after completing the first part of this post
let me know
PS with Voice command it only works to start the program, holding the PTT button to cancel a command doesn't work for me, if anyone figures that out let me know, that would be awesome

I don't own SKTools, so I disabled the PTT service by going to hklm\services\ptt
on the "dll" entry, I just inserted a semi-colon, to prevent the dll from loading- ";PTTService.dll"
However, I was not having much luck getting button 6 to work. Entries appeared in "buttons", but it would not link to the calculator. Finally, I decided to reboot.
Reboot somehow removed button6 entries in registry.
So in other words, it is not working, for me.
Very odd.

I have heard that turning the phone off (hold power putton) will make the registry entries stick, but I've never had a problem just soft resetting, let me know if you figure it out
the reg change didn't persist for me either and I did perform a power cycle.
Would like
I sure would like to see a solution here myself. These folks have one for WM6 on Hermes but some Kaiser folks posted near the end of the thread that the method is not working for them. Author says he will eventually get it working on the Kaiser.

I simply exported the PTT key altogether & removed it, put in the new 40C6 entry, and the device's remapping works flawlessly. Using SKTools.

I used the free PHM regedit:

I completed deleted the whole PTT group from the services (would not work until I did this).
Confirm
I can confirm the experience of robroth and GumboChief. Followed GumboChiefs advice on the ; - worked to disable PTT load. Then followed mbritten's reg changes in post #6. Registry key 40C6 disappers consistently after soft reset.
However, removing the entire PTT worked perfect.

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!
I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in
Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.
i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want
was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

Hi, thannks for the direct links. I'm going to try installing it. i hope it'll be fine.
seems it doesn't work with wm6. after installing it, the program isnt available in my program.
Something very weird is happening on my Diamond. Suddenly my on screen full querty keyboard is stuck in the numeric mode and hitting the "ABC" button won't go to the normal mode where you can type letters. If I change to other type of keyboard, for example the Phone Keypad, it'll also type only numbers not letters, no matter in what mode it is.
I've tried soft reset but the issue persists. Last app I installed was Mobile Justice but I don't think it has something to do with the issue...
Anyone have seen this before? any suggestion besides hard reset?
Yes, I had same problem and found out that it was caused by the installation of a custom T9.cab file (Dutch). I uninstalled it and problem was gone.

Aha, I think I installed one of those cabs a few days ago as well, but how do you uninstall that? it doesn't appear in the add/remove programs window.
how dod you guys fixed it? got same problem
Try this:
Go into the registry and ensure the following settings, then soft reset.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409
Layout Text to "eT9 IME"
Ime File to "\windows\eT9ime.dll"
HKCR\CLSID\{73AB106C-A726-484b-B610-BE3E1CF39821}
(Default) = "XT9"
thanks mate appriciated. worked perfect.
I exp it. I found out that. Restored or copy contacts before customize the keyboard and it works like normal

I'm make a small program, which change current SIP when stylus out of the case and in the case.
Just unzip, and run program. Run again, and you can stop background process.
Settings in registry:
key HKCU\Software\HtcExtFun
value StylusInSipName - string name of SIP when stylus in the case
value StylusOutSipName - string name of SIP when stylus out of the case
example of reg settings (included in attached archive):
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"StylusOutSipName"="Keyboard - VGAKEY"
"StylusInSipName"="TouchPal"
Sorry I messed up im such an idiot!
And would it be possible to change the diamond in some kind of explosive device if the stylus is pulled out and in five times in less than three seconds ?
Hmmm James Bond on TV tonight, sorry for that.
The real question was : what do you call SIP : is it any program ? Does it interfere with the "notes" opening during a call ?
SIP = "Soft Input Panel"
It's the method of inputting text on a ppc, such as keyboard, transcriber etc...
Thanks a lot exidler, I've been missing this feature
My question is will it interfere/conflict with a SmartSIP application? I'm not in the mood for a Hard Reset just now due to conflicting SIPs...
Hello,
Nice idea but when I execute the HtcExtFun.exe I received this message :
"can't initialize SIP CLSIDs for stylus status"
My Rom is HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1
Thank's for you help

Just change the registry keys to whatever SIPs you use. You probably don't even have a "Keyboard - VGAKEY" installed.
2ALL: Also be sure to input localized names for SIPs into reg keys (for non-WWE ROMs). Good luck!
Btw, it works just fine with SmartSIP...
Good job, exidler! Thank you. It's just what I wanted. Will probably uninstall SmartSIP now...
At begining of topic, asking about runing Notes when stylus pulled out.
My question: may be add feature to run something when stylus pulled out? Not only when call in progress.

Would be a nice addition, but I'd prefer it to be user-configurable (on/off), with a list of exceptions. So each time I'm about to rename a file it won't open Notes or whatever.

I Repackaged it in a cab file that adds the reg key to change between Compact QWERTY and Keyboard. Also drops a shortcut under

Video of the software here. I think its great, but could obviously do with a configuration panel and having a shortcut dropped into \windows\startup.

To have it start at every boot up, paste the app in /Windows/StartUp
Very convenient app, they should have implemented this in the original ROM .
Awesome!...
It worked after I add ZaJules's Reg file.
But I want to be able to switch between:
Compact QWERTY and Fitaly by textware.
I edited the reg location (in windows registry) from keyboard to fitaly
now removing/replacing stylus doesn't do anything...
cheers, stevo.
[edit] Maybe it's called something else in the registry...
[edit] fixed it.
I had "Keyboard Qwerty" insteat of "Keyboard QWERTY", so it IS CAP specific!.
cheers, swesome.... This bl00dy phone just gets better and better every day...!
Updated the cab to include the automated startup
GREAT small application, very handy indeed.
