Hi Everyone,
I am running WM6 and I discovered some useful reg edit for Treos on another forum. I able to have some of these work on my wing the sites i used for reference are below which include other hacks i didnt post...
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/treo...obile-registry-tweaks-mods-please-sticky.html
http://wiki.treocentral.com/index.php/Registry_Hacks
This is a list of edits i did... or going to do in the near future...
SOME OF THESE HACK ARE OLD AND SHOW "HKEY" AS THE REG ROOT IN MY TESTING "HKEY" IS THE SAME AS "HKLM".... I WILL TRY ALL THE HACKS I ADDED IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND POST HOW OR IF THEY WORK....
This will have Windows look for your ringtones on your SD card
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = "\Storage Card\"
(REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The default location may be "\Windows\" or "\Windows\Rings\" depending
on your Device provider
Increase font cache
To increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 (DWORD decimal)
To change it back to the default:
HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Enable FileSystem cache
To enable the FileSystem cache, speeding up overall performance at the risk of the cache not being written on a sudden reset:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that by default, the cache size is zero, and you will see no effect. See "Increase FileSystem cache" to incease the cache size
Increase FileSystem cache
To increase the file system cache:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Increase FileSystem filter cache
To enable the file system filter cache, speeding up overall performance with file mangement:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 4096 (DWORD decimal)
To return the file system filter cache to zero:
HKLM\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize = 0 (DWORD decimal)
You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Change the thickness of scrollbars
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
Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons
To go with changing the thickness of the scrollbars, you may wish to change the length of the scrollbar arrow buttons...
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar arrows:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)
The default length is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like
Change the location of 'Temporary Internet Files'
When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the 'Temporary Internet Files' location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Storage Card\cacheie" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Windows\Profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Disable 3gp (video) size limit (would like to note if the file size is over 300k most cell phones cant recieve the file)
To disable the 3gp (video recording format) size limit:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3\EnableLimit = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To re-enable:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3\EnableLimit = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar (NEVER TRIED IT)
If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe".
Change the keyboard backlight duration
To change the duration of the keyboard backlight, you can set (example is 30 seconds):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that this may not work on some devices. One such notable exception is the HTC Wizard.
Voice Command to open a specific web site
You can use Voice Command to open a specific web site. For example I wanted to say "Open Weather" and it would go straight to my local forecast on www.weather.com.
To do it I:
1. Opened internet explorer, found my local forecast and saved it as a favorite.
2. Opened Windows Explorer and copied the internet shortcut I had created from the Windows\Favorites folder and pasted it in the Windows\Start Menu\Programs folder.
3. I renamed the shortcut to "Weather"
I can now use Voice Command to go directly to my forecast. Obiously this could be done with any website I visit on a regular basis (like ORB). I suppose if I create enough my programs folder will look pretty full, but with Voice Command I don't really care so much.
Pocket Internet Explorer Undercover as Internet Explorer 6.0!
This one has pros and Cons to it. The pro is you can access sites that filter and stop PDAs from accessing them. The con is you will not see any PDA optimized sites on the web and pages may not display or work right because it assumes you have full access to java, asp, etc....
Disguise your version of Pocket Internet Explorer Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Windows XP!
Many web sites that require encryption (such as banks and online retailers) don't verify if your browser support high encryption, they just check the browser version.
This registry hack will make Pocket Internet Explorer identifies itself as Internet Explorer 6.0 running on Windows XP, which may let you connect to web site that check the browser version
NOTE - This hack will prevent web sites that provide Pocket PC specific content to be able to know you're actually using a Pocket PC.
Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent \
Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0".
Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 6.0".
Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.1".
Some web sites may just compare the user agent string, but if this is not enough, browse to the Post Platform\ sub key and delete the "240x320" value that specifies screen size.
TWO: I want to know if there is a hack so when you download files they go to the storagecard instead of you chooseing storage card... i download a lot of vids from tinytube.net
THREE: I hate seen that message saying connecting to my data serive and pressing hide all the time is there away to make it stay on hide all the time??
Four: Thank you for taking the time to read this and offer some assistance!!
everyone Try Them.. Try Them I Say
Why ? ......
For the backlight duration the value to change is: HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\KeyLightTimeout
Thanks hyphen!

There is no value folder "User Agent" on the Tmobile wing.
I would love to change this setting so it thinks Im running XP and 6.0, does anyone know the correct registry values to change?
Change slide-out keyboard layout
If you have a Device from one country, but would like to use the keyboard layout of another, you can change the keyboard's language setting to do so...
For US layout (QWERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1033 (DWORD decimal)
For German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1031 (DWORD decimal)
For French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1036 (DWORD decimal)
wonder if that will work on the dash with the cooked roms..

An easier method I would say would be to use PIE Plus, it adds much functionality to your mobile web browser. PM if you would like to check it out.

I have an unbranded p4350 wm6, and discovered the "User Agent" key was to located in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\, there you'll find "User Agent" to modify your settings. I did this with mine. Hope this helps.
Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0".
Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 6.0".
Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.1".
Reg Tweak for Auto download of pics in e-mail
So far nobody (I've searched other forums) has found a reg tweak to automatically download pictures encoded in html email messages, instead of clicking the "Download Pictures" warning. If anyone here knows of one please share.
I dont know the tweak, but I used SK-Tools to change the PIE download location to my Storage Card and it works!
I tried to change the registry value for my service provider, as the name is quite long and on some programs, like iFonz it does cover part of the time display. I did change it and it worked, but at start up or after a soft reset it goes back to the former name. Any suggestions?
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

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)

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

34. Get Blackberry Connect working on your Diamond!! (thanks to cybertech99)
http://rapidshare.com/files/114522380/BBConnect_WM6_Profession.cab

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

Read the first post in this thread!
This is kind of a small thing, but when I remap the Buttons in Settings I thought it would be nice if the button icon reflected the actual program to which it was mapped or an icon of my choosing. I know, “picky, picky, picky”.
I noticed that in the various keys there is an icon sub-key which lists the program and an offset value where the icon is located for that program.
All that you have to do is enter the location of the icon and the offset.
Easy, except that the offset is not always the same location and the icon may be in something other than the .exe like a Control Panel applet (.cpl) or .dll or you may want a different icon than the standard one.
The solution that worked for me was to use a program called RViewer by Vicott Wong to look at the icons. He also has an icon resource file that has some sample icons in it that you could use. There are some other resource files listed also.
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=80127 for the program and a tutorial.
His program will extract icons and do some other stuff but all I wanted it for was to find where the icons were in a .exe, .dll or .cpl. which his program does and allows you to browse to find the icon and the offset. He shows in his tutorial how to change shortcut icons also, which may be even more fun than this.
I wanted to change three icons.
The first was the envelope on Button 2 since I had mapped that to a [Toggle Screen] process which is included with Wisbar Advance 3 by Chris McKay. (http://lakeridgesoftware.com/ ) This turns the screen completely off when desired.
The [Toggle Screen] was controlled by a WAProc.exe program in the Programs folder but it had no icons I wanted to use so I chose the one from Backlight.exe in the windows folder. In the “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2\Icon” sub-key I put “\windows\Backlight.exe, 101” in the String Value.
The next one was Button 6 which I assigned to Comm Manager and assigned the String Value “CommManager.exe, 101” in the 40C6 Icon sub-key.
The last one was button 6 (Hold) which I assigned to Voice Command. The 40C7 sub-key didn’t have an Icon sub-key so I just copied and pasted the one from 40C6 and gave it a String Value of “\Windows\VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl, 1” (Of course, no quotes used in the String Values)
WARNING: Once you start looking at all the different icons available you can easily waste a couple of hours just looking around.
Here is the result when I go to Buttons on settings:
Ok I'm new to this phone and would like some help, after much searching....
I want to change the Today bottom menu bar which offers Phone and Internet to Phone and Calendar ? I have changed to the black theme via Diamond Config ?
In the registry I have found HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/MANILA. In HomeRSKPath it says EFBROWSER. Do I change this to EFCALENDAR ? And then HomeRSKPath from Internet to Calendar ? If I do this, I am worried that other information may cause an error, since I read somewhere else to do this ... " In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Home\Keys\xxx (xxx is 112 for left button, 113 for right buttom), edit the following registry entries:
@ = "label of the command" & Open = "path to launched application" " And I can't find the 113.

I've noticed this with all the custom rom's i've tried, is this 'normal' for the diamond?
basically, what i'm talking about is within the phone dialer screen, above the number keypad is the list of recent calls + contacts and to the right is the scroll bar but that scroll bar is 2/3 cut off, making it useless.
is this normal? i tried searching to no avail.
ive been searchin for this for a few days aswell, when i came across ur post and realised that they were in fact just cut off.... i thought they were implemented like that! anywho, playin about with these values u can either remove it completely or get it back
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\ = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Slight graphical distortion at the edge of the screen, but they are gone

After playin about with the values, ive come to the conclusion that for me, personally, setting the cxVScr value to 13 is the most efficent as it leaves the scrollbar for important apps like RegEdit where you will use the scrollbar at times, but does not display the scrollbar in the dialer leaving it looking clean
hope this helps man
well, i want the scroll bar to show but i'll play around with those values and see what it does. thanks!
ok, those registry settings just change the width of the scroll bars but doens't help the fundamental problem which is that the scroll bar is cut off no matter how wide it is.
i just realized though that i can use the smarttouch (rotating my finger over the circular button) to scroll through without trying to do it with that scroll bar, so hopefully this helps someone.
