Hi,
I'm upgrading my XDA IIi German ROM to English ROM from Pug with radio version 1.04.00. Right now, the clock at the top right doesn't come up. Do anyone have the same problem like this?
How to display the clock at the top right?
Please help.
Thanks
Missing clock
Yes, sad to say - my wife's machine is exactly the same. It appears on the today screen, but not the menu bar at the top. Sorry no answers, though my guess is that it probably appears somewhere in the registry.
Anyone?
I've upgrade only the Radio to ver 1.04 from Pug but not the external rom since the Ext Rom will overright all my external and country setting. With this i got all my original country setting and interface im happy with only upgrade my Radio.
The same (clock disappearing ) happened back in the days on my Magician, to solve it do the following: get yourself a registry editor (e.g. phm regedit, freeware on www.phm.lu) and go to the following key:
hklm\software\microsoft\shell
- add dword called "TBOpt" and give it value 3.. soft reset.
0 = no time or date
1 = time
2 = date
3 = both
Thanks Koskie,
I knew it must be a registry setting. I'll try it tonight.
Regards
David
Thanks Koskie
I try to open the website but it isn't working. I attach the software here. It works great.
Thanks

Just tried that on my 2i (O2 UK, not that the provider probably matters that much), set it to 3 (I've tried hexadecimal and decimal-type DWORD), soft resetted, and it's still not showing up on the top bar.
It works for me. Using O2 UK ROM.
Thanks Koksie. Great Advice!
Cheers!

Hello,
it works on my Wizzard (xda mini s) but the date is in bold therefore the last digit is not completely visible. Any idea how I could change the date to normal text style?
Thanks,
Klaus
This is all done inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\ - use PHM Registry Editor (freeware) or another reg editor to do all of this (Tweak2k2 will also do it, apparently). Remember: registry editing can mess up your phone if you do it wrong!
You may already have an entry called TBOpt, and it might just read "0" or "1" - delete it, and start over. The TBOpt entry should be set up as a BINARY string. I did this, and chose a number - 13 - and set the value to
13 00 00 00
This resulted in both the time and the date being visible. This was a start, but I needed more...
I changed the value to 01 00 00 00, rebooted, and bingo: only the clock appears.
02 00 00 00 shows only the date.
03 00 00 00 shows both, like 13 00 00 00, except where with 13 the time and date were centre-aligned, the time and date are now left-aligned.
04: nothing.
05: shows the time, in what looks to be a left-aligned manner, in bold.
06: shows the date, dd/mm/yy format.
07: date and time, regular font weight (i.e. not bold), date in dd/mm/yy and time in 24hr.
08: nothing.
...
I got bored by this point, as every new choice requires a soft reboot and a 30 second wait while the device powers up. If I had a genuine copy of Windows, I'd download the emulator and just try it with that from the MS web site, but... well... The last time "I" owned a legit copy of Windows, I was about 7, and my Dad bought me a computer.
Some options seem to do more than most, I'd hazard a guess and say that some of the 'options' tally with the various ways you can choose to have long and short times and dates shown by the system in the Regional Settings control panel applet. I love being able to switch between analogue and digital time display! (tap and hold on the time, it'll only work if you only have the time shown, otherwise it'll show just the day part of today's date).
Going back to the legal-copies-of-Windows-thing finally, I suppose technically I own two legal licenses for two unique copies of Windows Mobile 2003 SE, but that's another story (XDA number 1 locking up on boot, that was a clever error).
Hope this post helped.
For some reason my clock has changed to an analog clock. Its really ccrap cos you cant tell the time! how do i switch it back to digital again?
THanks for the help!
Thanks, just worked it out...
And for those who don't know, you tap and hold with the stylus on the clock to bring up the Analogue / Digital choice menu.
Also, might as well just note for the record that the reason the clock disappears on the XDA 2i is because of one of the customisation CABs O2 have put in their Extended ROM. If you do a Corporate Install (with the 0506 code, as I did the second time round) it doesn't install any of the O2 interface, nor does it install any of the customisation CABs - so bingo, you have a (pretty much) standard WM2003SE installation.
I used the O2 Contract GPRS and GSM settings CAB file from this forum (supplied by Pug) to just make sure that my SMS and GPRS settings were correct, but aside from that my installation was vanilla, thanks to the Corporate install. Also meant I had a clock on the top, which was a revelation for me then.
Just stating this because when I was first searching for the solution to this problem, I couldn't find any information as to why it was happening, or how to fix it... Just chanced upon it whilst doing my own Corp install so now it's set in stone for future newbies to read.
Howdy,
In about a week (assuming that G.W.B. can resist starting WWIII for that long), I'm going to build another ROM. This time I'd like to get some input on what to include.
A few things to keep in mind:
1) The goal is to include apps and hacks that appeal to the widest audience and are useful. If it's something that's not useful to a lot of people, then there's no reason to put it into a ROM. I can add more themes and ringers as well, but they should appeal to as broad a group as possible.
2) I won't include any commercial apps. Not even in an unregistered state. I might consider things that have been extracted from other ROMs, but I'm debating that with the voices in my head and will decide later.
3) Apps should be mature, not beta, if possible. I don't want to have to rebuild the ROM every time a new beta version of an app comes out.
4) If possible, attach registry hacks in the form of .reg files to your request. Or at least post the registry entry in you message.
5) It would we swell if someone could take the lead on tallying up the suggestions and help to prioritize. I'll shoot for building the ROM in about 10 days.
If we can keep the additions under 5 Megs total I think we'll be OK.
Here's what will be in there as of now (which is in the current custom ROMs)
-Oregami themes
-digital, cellular, and electronic ringers
-.NET Compact Framework 2
-A2DP/AVRCP
-Wireless Today screen plugin
-enable multi-select/delete contacts
-a hidden treasure map providing the precise pinpoint location of $2.33 in pennies that I previously buried when I was perhaps 7 or 8
First I want to say thinks for the bang up job you have done on putting together these roms for us.
The only things that I would like to see that I can think of would be the registery hack that makes GPRS/EDGE stay on all the time. And I would also like, if it is possible, anything that would make the phone us a WiFi connection, when present and turned on, instead of GPRS/EDGE.
I am not sure if it is possible to do that or not.
Usefull apps
Well I would like to have these applications in the next ROM
1) Smartkeys - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060&highlight=smartkeys
2) Wakeapp - to easily setup OmapClock and other event-driven applications. http://www.kent7.com/holly/wakeapp/ , download EN version at http://kent7.sakura.ne.jp/holly/wakeapp/wa_arm021_e.zip
3) SMSDeliveryFix - to show SMS recipient name in a delivery report - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42696&highlight=sms+delivery+fix
4) WM5NewMenu - similiar to WM2003 "New" button - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40088&highlight=wm5newmenu
5) WM5torage - PDA acting as a memory card reader without ActiveSync - http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
6) Some software for sending and receiving vCard via SMS.
Thank you for the great effort :wink:
The correct E or G icon
Caps, Num, lock indicators
ability to set OMPA and forget it.
smaller scroll bars
the three reptile themes at this site, I think everyone would like these, grey, blue, and red.
http://www.zombienexus.net/portal/GL_SubDirectory.asp?SEC=3&CatID=70
TCPMP-media player
Total Commander-file explorer/reg editor
Agile Messenger-great messaging app aol,msn,icq etc.
I think these are good apps that everyone could use.
the only thing i think would be beneficial would be adding all the reg edits that reg wiz adds to speed up our device, so we don't have to do it each time we clear storage. THAT would be awesome. i could care less about apps being included, i can install them just fine; but it's a pain in the ass every time i clear storage/flash new rom, that i have to redo all the reg tweaks.
I haven't found a way, but more emphesis on Storage Memory than Program memory would be good for me. I use alot of storage memory with Contacts, Email (even with moving my attachments to storage) and Calendar databases.
I used the much cleaner 2.17 RUU rom without the ringtones but did copy over a couple of them from the 2.17 with RT and OC. Also copied the OMAP clock and it's shortcuts.
A clean Rom without much of the extras would be good.
I also have customized my Cingular connection to use isp.cingular and [email protected] instead of the built in wap.cingular and [email protected] connection. I also turned of the proxy as it was interfeering with my AKU2 push from my Exch2K3-SP2 box.
Is there anyway to use the EXT ROM or add a slider bar like in WM2003SE?
J-Man5
p.s. thanks for the ROMs. I just got my 8125 about 2 weeks ago and have been having mucho grande fun with it.
ROM additions
How about:
- Total Commander
- ?? some sort of free registry editor (PHM RegEdit?)
- smartskey, I agree, but I think it's ini file needs to be in the same directory and it's small so this may not work
- RegWizard (the xda developer forum developed list of hacks), although actually i don't think this is necessary because it along with its framework requires over a meg, and you can just delete it once you install the desired reg hacks. . .
- Magic Button or some other similar task manager thing
I don't think more themes or ringers would be uniformly useful.

Can you add something to truly shut down apps?
I've gotten in the habit of shutting down apps through the running programs tab under memory. Is there any way to make this easier such as putting a direct link in the Start menu to this page or on the Today list.
You know, summiter, you could just fix it so that the programs actually close when you hit the X.

Not unless he is going to rewrite the way Windows Mobile works. Thats a M$ thing. And also why apps such as vBar and Magic Button and InClose exist.
Summiter may be a ROM compiling wizard but lets not lay too many burdens at his feet to fix.
I'm just really happy push email is working.

Continued Bluetooth Fixes
I have notice several still having Bluetooth issues with the lack of support; specifically, SSP over bluetooth. This opens up additional application possibilities not available today. I wouild like to run Bluetooth GPS with receivers such as the Holux 236 GPSlim, but the lack of SSP makes this almost impossible.
Just a thought
I'd like to see common registry hacks already applied and perhaps a txt file explaining the ones included with the new ROM. For example, the ones I listed below are from my own notes so when I re-flash I can re-apply them.
Regarding software, I'd almost prefer to see CAB files instead of pre-loaded software. Since CABs disappear once installed, we could make the choice of installing or deleting, and thus possibly save space but also gain the benefit of having them ready-to-install. You could even use different subdirectories for free vs the ones requiring a registration code to help keep the surprise / disappointment factor down (when we find out it costs money). This would also prevent a problem of competing solutions for some who prefer one plugin over another if they both serve a common function.
Along the same lines, I believe registry hacks can be applied via CAB files or maybe even .reg files (or maybe not - I'm still educating myself with all of this). You could stick with what you have for the current ROM but load it up with optional extras which could be deleted if we just didn't want them.
I think what you're doing is great and applaud your efforts!
I just started configuring my 8125 today, these are the hacks I applied so far (after stepping up to your 2.17 ROM):
Enable scrolling in IE with 4-way button
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav
Change Value from 1 to 0.
____________________
Slide-out Keyboard Status Indicator
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd
Create entry EnableIndicator and assign DWORD value of 1(decimal)
____________________
Increase your 8125 speed
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
Change "CacheSize" value from "0" to "4096".
Assign a value of 1 to EnableCache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\
Assign a value of 4096 to ReplStoreCacheSize
____________________
Disable menu animation – removes menu animation which uses up system resources
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu
Change "AniType" from "6" (default) to "0" (disabled).
____________________
Change the width of the vertical scroll bar and the height of the horizontal scroll bar so they take less room on the screen:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE
Change cxVScr to (say) 9 to make vertical scrollbar narrower. Default value is 13
Change cyHScr to (say) 9 to make horizontal scrollbar narrower. Default value is 13
____________________
Enable 802.11g
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms]
"dot11SupportedRateMaskG"=dword:00000008
"dot11SupportedRateMask"=dword:00000001
TCPMP
TCPMP definitely, I use this more than any other app on pocketpc devices.
I think you should also consider a paired down ROM. One without any Cingular addons that aren't required to make the device work on Cingular. Basically only the ones that set up MMS and the GPRS settings. I'd even leave out the proxy if thats possible.
But in this paired down ROM I'd still include a few extras like some extra themes and ringers.
And I'd put in the two programs I don't think anyone can live without, SmartSkey and TotalCommader.
Thats basically the setup I have now, but I'm wasting space in my extended ROM and other areas because there are things on my device that I can't remove and I'm not using.

haha this is at least the second message that goes something like: "how about a ROM stripped of everything, but add this and that and oh yeah add this too". I say this in good fun so don't take offense. It just indicates that everyone has quite unique needs.
I will create a barebones ROM as well. But I don't want to have too many ROMs out there because I don't want to have to rebuild them all when something changes.
As far as using the Extended ROM for other purposes..as of now it can't be done. It's locked in some way that prevents effectively using as storage space. (if you try to manipulate it, it becomes corrupted). So the only use for it is to install stuff at first boot.
Well I might as well put in my two cents....but first....Summiter....marry me! I'll tell my wife to divorce me and she can take her nokia phone with her!
-Ok definitely Smartskey in the same folder as Omapclock so smartskey.ini file can tell omapclock to clock me at 216 everytime after soft reset.
-Please take out the stupid SIP keyboard...i'ts useless and can only be used by leprechauns with little fingers.
-A way to easily change splash screens.
-Hide SIM contacts
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0
1. Disable menu animations to increase performance:
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu"
Change "AniType" from "6" (default) to "0" (disabled).
- Add vibration instead of sound to keypresses in the phonepad for better tactile feedback:
for i = 0 to 9
Give an example for "i" Button:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf "i"]
1. Rename Standart DWORD parameter "Sound" to "Sound1"
2. Create new String Parameter "Sound"
3. Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
For this there is also a cab file available.
***this is a cool registry tweak
- oh and this is a must have, all these pda phones lack in the phone department...people on the other side of a phone call can barely hear us until you put this registry tweak in.
\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\
changed RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME and EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME values to CC. after that change, microphone sensitivity got better and didn't receive any more complaints.
Though i wish someone knew a way to improve the sound mic quality during speakerphone.
And there are so many ringtones in your rom summiter...they all sound alike lol. put the You've got mail.wav file for incoming mail, i have it if you want. how bout some funny ringtones or music ringtones instead?
k that's all
Hi!

Hiden GPS Icon
Having tried the new HTC rom I found that the GPS WAS enabled (Tried it with Tomtom 6) but the GPS Icon in the settings menu is still hidden.
To enable/unhide the icon use a registry editing program and change the numerical value of the DWORD string that reads 'HIDE' from '1' to '0', then soft reset the device.
There are a couple of threads that can explain how to do this in more detail elseware on this forum.
1.
Sometimes GPS takes too long to fixup
Hi!
I discover the problem. Sometimes the GPS takes 10 or 15 minutes to fixup!!! I've read that this is a known problem without solution.
Thanks anyway.

Not first fix, on clear sky, without moving during fix? I've read only one complaint, and it didn't say the conditions that made that fix so long.

In the regisrty there are a lot of folder wich one contain the DWORD?
if this is your level of understanding of the registry I strongly suggest you DO NOT try and modify until you thoroughly research it!
You may end up having to hard reset your device.
I already modify it last time but i forgett where theDowrd is..Under wich menu on the registry
OK Brigate- sorry just wanted to warn you!
I would do a search- this took me 10 nano seconds ;-) It's quicker than posting and waiting for a reply.
/snip
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec) keep the Hide key but change the value to 0 and delete the redirect value and soft reset
If you have a GPS device, you can add a GPS settings icon to your Start > Settings menu using:
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\redirect <-- delete, or rename, this value
Note that '2' stands for the Connections tab, '1' is System and '0' would be Personal
Note also that this has reportedly disabled one person's USB connectivity. To restore, set "GPS Program Port = None", "GPS Connection Port = None", "Automatic GPS Management = on"
/ snip
This rings a bell- I tried it a long time ago on my M600 thinking the icon would help (it just stopped my BT GPS working!)
Well thx a lot
I use resco to modify the register but every time i do a softreset it returns all as default... So at last i can`t get the GPS ICON

Hi Guys!
Any ideas if and where i can set the GPRS/UMTS connection timeout on the Breeze?
The bloody bastards from O2 decided to start time-billing for data-traffic based on "am i attached to the GPRS/UMTS APN or not". So with just checking my e-mails twice a day.. about 100kb traffic or 5minutes real connection time i ended up with 5-10hours costs per day. My bill was an amazing 780€ this month and i have to fight for the next half year to get that sorted. In the end i will probably have to find a new provider...
People with O2 Genion Card S and the standard data traffic settings should be extremely carefull when using the Breeze. It could end up in a nightmare and for me it did.
Cheers,
TobsTec
Hi,
i haven't found an option for automatic timeout (disconnecting) yet...
only what i can give you is that hint:
made a shortcut to the datadisconnect exe file in windows folder and don't forget to use it after syncing mails...
i know... thats no solution for automatic syncing but i haven't a solution yet ...
maybe if i have time i can programm a small app (or maybe you can do that too??) where you can enter a timeout time and after that all data connections turned of or so...
steve
Hi Steve!
Can you give me the full path and exact name to that datadisconnect thing? I couldn't find it at a quick glance with the file browser.
I also couldn't find a setting for the GPRS/UMTS connection timeout, but i am sure it is possible to set that up somewhere / somehow in the registry.
If i'd knew the right key, it would be pretty easy to write a small application to set that value.
Bests,
TobsTec
in windows folder -> DataDisconnect.exe
have searched but haven't found any hint to automatic data disconnection...
maybe this helps...
didn't tryed..
http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/product_gprs_tweak_wm5pe_en.htm
ok didn't work....
but i have read something that this programm only a reg key edits...
Hi!
After a lot of googling and having a close look at that PhoneEdition program you pointed me to, i think these registry keys are promising:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
DWORD CacheTime
60 - Timeout in seconds
String SuspendResume
~GPRS! - Always On
GPRS_bye_if_device_off - Timeout after CacheTime
HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\
DWORD NoGPRSAutoAttach
0 - Search GPRS/UMTS on start of radio
1 - Search GPRS/UMTS on start of data connection
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\
DWORD Flags2
0 - No disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
8 - Show disconnect button in bubble
16 - Show disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
The last key might only work on PhoneEdition devices and not on Smartphones.
Haven't tried any of these yet, as the data access is naturally blocked at the moment with my SIM card and i still have to find the right registry key to unlock the write access to these keys (and nothing else). Didn't want to take any risk in building up a 2000€ bill for May just because O2 is stupid.
Cheers,
TobsTec
regkeys for unlocking the applock of the mteor you'll find in the wiki what i have filled up...
also theres an app sda unlocker you find it trough google (madaco)
enter the reg values with the phmreg editor (stk2 version - whats exactly the different... i have no idea...)
then start the sda unlocking tool...
also theres an app available checklock... with that you can check if the phone is app locked...
the other reg keys i give a try... because i have a montly datasize what i can use i have no problems
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
DWORD CacheTime
60 - Timeout in seconds
String SuspendResume
~GPRS! - Always On
GPRS_bye_if_device_off - Timeout after CacheTime
should work...
i have issued a few funny things...
after the 60 seconds the connection seems to be disconnected... the small bandicon on signalstrengh while dataconnection is up disapears...
also thats the funny thing... it seams to disconnect when exiting a webpage or exit the explorer....
Hi!
Well i gobbled together a small .Net CF 2.0 C# application to set the SuspendResume, CacheTime and the NoGPRSAutoAttach last weekend.
Once my device is unlocked i can give it a try with a different SIM and see if it does what it should do. How about "OhPoo - Connection Tweaker" as a name?
Bests,
TobsTec
OhPoo ??
what exactly can the program? only set the reg values ?
* Set GPRS/UMTS connection to AlwaysOn or Timeout in seconds.
* Set the GPRS/UMTS coverage search to
"on radio start" or
"on data connection"
* Enable/Disable separate icons for GPRS/EDGE and UMTS/HSDPA.
Nothing fancy... I should in fact continue working on KeePassSD, but that 780€ phone bill annoyed me quite a bit and there is still the may bill to come, which might look the same: OhPoo KanDoo! Hm, maybe not particularly funny.
I could attach a snapshot, if i would know how. Doesn't seem to work for me.

just pack it into a .zip file... than you can attach the file when writing a replay!
in "Additinal Options"
if you meant that ...
Ah my mistake... The editor does not seem to work with FireFox and/or WebWasher.

Hi!
After a lot of googling and having a close look at that PhoneEdition program you pointed me to, i think these registry keys are promising:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings\
DWORD CacheTime
60 - Timeout in seconds
String SuspendResume
~GPRS! - Always On
GPRS_bye_if_device_off - Timeout after CacheTime
HKCU\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction\
DWORD NoGPRSAutoAttach
0 - Search GPRS/UMTS on start of radio
1 - Search GPRS/UMTS on start of data connection
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\
DWORD Flags2
0 - No disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
8 - Show disconnect button in bubble
16 - Show disconnect button & time of connection in bubble
The last key might only work on PhoneEdition devices and not on Smartphones.
Haven't tried any of these yet, as the data access is naturally blocked at the moment with my SIM card and i still have to find the right registry key to unlock the write access to these keys (and nothing else). Didn't want to take any risk in building up a 2000€ bill for May just because O2 is stupid.
Cheers,
TobsTec

Nice! this is really nice solution. Thanks..
Sorry, should have posted the download links here as well.
The utility is now just called ConnTweak and the binary for WM5 Smartphones can be downloaded here:

And the source code there:

Bests,

Ive never hacked a WM device and I have no clue how to get to the HKLM so I can make changes. Trying to find this information is exhausting so I figured Id just ask and get a simple answer.
Thanks in advance.
registry editor
as mentioned already, it is a registry value (abbreviated)
HKLM would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Right, that Ive found out already(through my research). However, my question is how do I get there to use it to change things on my Diamond found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417873)?
you need an application to search the registry, try googling for PHM registry editor, I use that and it's good.

Well, if you are not that good on computer stuff maybe you should not touch the Registry Editor.
You could use simple installable .cabs to modify your Jewel how ever you want.
Why don't you state what mod you want to take forth and Members here will help you.
Greetings
if you download an exe file like PHM registry editor
if it's an exe you run it on the computer and it use activesync to install
to the pda
if it's a cab file you copy it to the pda and run it there
but as stated if you dont know what you're doing
messing around with the registry is not adviced

Ok, fair enough. I installed the .cab file for the blackberry connect but have no idea where to go from there.
Secondly, Id love to be able to do the things found on the updated diamond tweaks thread.
ie:
Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall 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
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
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
Enable Better Power Management
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SIM_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
Thanks. Sorry for being such a pain.

Part of my problem is Im running off a mac mostly. I have a PC on the side but I hate using it. I figured thats the only way I can get to the registry on the phone though.
Prob best to install either Diamond Tweak or Advanced config which is like a GUI interface to do alot of the registry tweaks plus alot more.
I would also suggest that you'd get a little more help if you wouldn't use such obnoxious terms as "WTF" in the title of your post.

I didnt realize it was obnoxious. I was trying to reiterate my confusion in an extreme fashion. Sorry if I offended anyone.
