Thanks

Added the following:
SMS Delivery Reports - Always on!
1) Go to the \HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ key.
2) Add a Dword called "SMSDeliveryNotify" if it does not already exist.
3) Set the value to "(0x000001)" or just "1" depending on your reg editor.
No need for soft reset - create new SMS and check Tools > Options - already ticked for delivery notification.
Please note: This only works for NEW created messages - you stll have to manually select if replying or forwarding.

Some hacks

Hi. I have some questions (maybe someone did it)
1.) How to put some registry settings into .cab (some desktop tool?)
2.) How to backup settings data (gprs,mms, etc) are they in registry?
3.) Anyone knows how to make my Wizard to use localized MUI files ( nls and MUI reg hack localize only Voice Dial)
4.) how to run outlook with as "new sms" - i need it for shortcut
5.) I have found screen settings with 16 bpp (default) i switched it to 32 and i'm not sure sth happend. Maybe it was a bit slower. Anyone knows does it affect to screen and what is max value (64??)?

Lost my reply thanks to ctrl+C not working for some reason. Let's try again.

You can use any CAB editor. I was recommended OCP Software's WinCE CAB Manager - it works great.

Yes. Your best bet will be to open up an existing operator settings CAB and adjust the values to what you're using, and then save the CAB again. This way you can just install that CAB anytime you need to re-set those settings. Search the forum for some example operator settings CAB files.

No idea. Although you can make a shortcut with...
32#"tmail.exe" -service "Inbox" -to ""
to create a new message, it will default to whatever is your currently active inbox. So if Hotmail was your last active inbox, you'll be composing a new Hotmail message.
32#"tmail.exe" -new
Will pop up an Account selector to let you pick where to start a new message in.
I'm sure there's an option to pick the account on the command line as well, but I haven't found it %)
You can always use VJSMS from vijay555's VJPhoneTools:
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJPhoneTools
It's just a small app, and you can launch it with shortcuts as well.

Max is probably 32bpp - however, your screen is, at maximum, likely to be 18bpp. And addressing at 18bpp just makes things slow. See also:

'fraid I have nothing on point #3

ZeBoxx, you again?!
Regarding starting new appointments etc, have a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=204692#204692
basically:
Append -new to each of the PIM tasks, eg
Start the apps as such:
\windows\addrbook.exe -new
\windows\calendar.exe -new
\windows\tasks.exe -new
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To start a new message, there may be other ways, I'm sure there are, but you can use my VJSMS with "" on the end eg
"....\VJSMS.exe" ""

vijay: of course me again
And yeah, like I said, you can use "tmail.exe -new" to start a new message. However, it will ask you what account you want to send from.
You can skip that bit with the earlier shortcut - but it will default to whatever your current/last active Account was.
So basically, say my current/last active Account is hotmail... then what shortcut do I need to start a new SMS (which is in the "Text Messages" Account) ?
I haven't spotted a way, tried a couple of strings - no luck. Your app would surely work, but I can't help but think there's gotta be a way to do it with just tmail.exe

how do i turn off confirmation "beep" after hitting send

is there a way to turn off the beep when you hit "send" after dialing a number?

You need to install a program that can edit registry and do the following change:
Look up HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
Change the InitVol value to 0

Thanks a lot for that bit of info... The beeping was beginning to annoy me aswell

brilliant,thank you!

This is free:

Guess you have to choose the ARM version at the top in the drop down list.
Didn't get the desktop installer to work.
Copy the .cab over to your device and run it from there.
Well... why not just put it here.

Thanks.....

i downloaded the free trial of resco and that works great. i liked it so much i will buy it for sure. www.resco.net

After changing the value to "0" and pressing done, I exit the program and no longer have the beep when dialing. Once I shut down the phone and reboot, the beep starts up again. Is there a way to make it permanent?

It happened me too, permanent solution - I rewrited file callstart.wav in Windows folder in Audacity program and I used function - silence. It means now when I call my handy play only silence on call start

There is. 1. Use Total Commander (freeware) and copy the file Silent.prof.xml from the folder Application data\Profiles to the folder \Application data.
2. Then rename the copied file name to Normal.prof.xml (or Meeting.prof.xml, if wished, this is the buzzing profile).
3. Then move the new Normal.prof.xml (pr Meeting.prof.xml) back to the folder Application data\Profiles and overwrite old file.
4. After this you'll to have to reconfigure your settings in the normal (and meeting) profile but the beep at call start won't return even if device is restarted.
Got this solution from another S730 forum. Seems the Silent.prof.xml file is the only one in which the beep at call start is disabled.

it's quite a lot easier editing your profile xml file. change the value 'CallStart' to '0' and you're done.

Hey Admins,
perhaps you can make a sticky "Tweaks for HTC Wings" including this tweak.
Bye

I tried this to do with the built-in editor of total commander and I even tried downloading and uploading the file.
I haven't had any success. I changed the value to "0" and then I wasn't able to select that profile any more.
I had to start over with "use defaults", then I was able to select and configure that profile again.
What have I done wrong?

I was having the Same issue over here.
Now I solved it thanks to Radiax!
The solution is simple, change your profile again like you did last time, but after saving the file you have to navigate to Properties (File -> 0 More -> 4 Properties) and change the System value to +. Make sure to use the latest version (V2.5, released 24th of April) because this function doesn't work in previous versions.
Hope this'll work for you just like it did for me.

thats it!
Its necessary to set the system-bit!
Many thanks!

Nice! This indeed works a lot easier than the steps I mentioned earlier in this thread.

Latest Total CMD + System bit set
Hi all,
I tried to set my Wings like described above, but I cann´t use the profile anymore after changing something.
I´m doing this with TC 2.5 and the system bit is set.
Any ideas?
edit: in addition - i don´t have a folder profiles in appdata, the xml´s are in windows folder on my wings

Turning off keyboard auto pop-up?

Is there a way to turn off auto keyboard in the registry??
As in, if you click on a field the keyboard does not automatically show?
You'd have to click on the keyboard icon to show.
I find it a bit annoying especially when using MSN Messenger and it keeps popping up and down when changing from contact list to convo.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:
Create or change DWORD TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1
Or download & install this cab:
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/1836803/SIPUpDisable.cab

OR how about this
Use the Gsensor to activate the SIP?
IT would be great to just tilt the diamond forward and have the keyboard pop up then tilt forward past 90 degrees to hide it again
I will post this in the Gsen thread, maybe the dev's can work something out.
Jules

sounds great

How to uninstall the SIPUpDisable.cab
kortez, I used the cab file and on my HTC Touch Diamond and now I have a strange behavior when trying to write a new SMS!

You should use a propper registry editor. Resco Registry Editor, PHM or the one in the Task Manager 3.1.
Good luck.

anybody try setting this inside hklm\software\windows\messenger live\ or something like that? still pops up in ms.n messenger and this setting is cooked into the rom i am using.

I can't say good enough things about XDA Developers for archiving these threads. This registry hack worked perfectly on my Imagio. So many answers to questions for specific models just keep working on new models and new versions of Windows Mobile/Phone.
And thanks to Kortez for the original reply!

How to start a new SMS on Button Press?

Hi All,
on my Tytn i configured the left Softkey to "New SMS".
There was a programm in the Windows Folder called tnsms.exe which directly opened the SMS Editor.
Now i wanted to do the same on my X1 but the tnsms.exe app does not exist there. So i tried to copy it over from my tytn. The result is, if i map the softkey to this app, it opens up dialog which asks me on which account i'd like to send a new Message (SMS/MMS/Outlook/...).
Then i have to choose SMS and afterwards it opens the SMS Editor.
Does anyone know a way to get directly to the SMS Editor?
Best Regards
LordK

I am interested in an answer to this as well.
I was thinking I would do it with AE Button Plus but then I realised I dont know where the exe file is located I need to run to get directly into writing a new SMS.

KeySwop would allow this, but it doesn't work on my X1 (hitting "browse" doesn't do anything)

I came accross an application to do this in the Kaiser forum - to start a program or go direct to an action. search on "left soft key"
Next to that there was another application called (I think) quick menu, which was cooked into many ROMS on the kaiser forum. Sure the cab exists somewhere, where the left softkey would give a quick list of common actions - e.g. new message, terminate data connection, flight mode, etc. Also on the kaiser forum.
Otherwise SPB menu can re-assign the left soft key..if ur willing to pay for it that is

just use search : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=241099
you can create your own shortcut for left softkey going to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112] (left soft key entry)
and point Open parameter to:
tmail.exe -transport "SMS" -to ""
notice that if you use manilaHD softkeys are mapped in
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\HTC\MANILA\LSKPath] and LSK Text for text label

New SMS shortcut
Place the "New SMS.lnk" file in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.
Then assign "New SMS" to the proper soft key.
The acual shortcut is:
10#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
edit: see post above it has the same information

Thanks everyone.
That was exactly what i was looking for

can i do this, even if i use the SPB panel as my main panel?

That's so GREAT!!!!!
