Can I import a *.reg file into registry? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I have tried using several registry apps to successfully export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher] belonging to a previous Hutch 3 ROM.
I now want to re import these keys into my newly installed Duttys 6.1.
How do I do this?
Scuse the newb question (duck for cover) but on a PC you tap the *.reg and it will import into the registry. On my Kaiser running Duttys 6.1 I have PHM_Regedit but Import option is greyed out.
A search did not resolve it so any help would be appreciated.

Install FdcSoft's Taskmanager (it has a built in Regedit), by DotFred. In there you can associate .reg files with it. Then just run them to import.

Great I'll grab it. Thanks Dave I really appreciate the help. I know you all get sick to death of our newb questions.

Dont worry. I spent 10 minutes trying to use PHM before I gave up.
Dot Fred's TaskManager is a kick ass task manager as well as a reg editor (amongst other stuff).
P.S. Easiest way to associate is: Open TaskMgr, tools, options, Create RegEit Shortcut. This will ask do you want to associate.

Cool I can see how to do all that now thanx.
Only hiccup is I can only run it from my Storage card. I cannot work out how to copy it to my \Windows folder. I cannot work out how to delete the existing basic taskmgr.exe that installed with Dutty's. I guess this is because it is a system file. If I try and copy and replace I get error message saying not possible. Whats the trick here?

Don't know. I just leave the exe in My Docs, and run it from the shortcuts.

Okay. Will do same. thanks..

Resco Explorer will also do it.
To dotfred from your SD Card, do this:
Place the .exe in you \Storage Card\Programs folder. With your desktop PC, navigate to \Windows Mobile Device\My Device\Storage Card\Programs & right click on the exe file. Select create shortcut. Move the shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs using desktop pc.
Voilla! you are done, go check Programs & it's there.

this is the steps i usually take when entering in a reg file. I use resco explorer for all this. I double click. Then I make sure I close resco through the menu exit and not the X button. Then I continue to play around with my phone for a while opening up menus and stuff. Then I soft reset. Doing these steps, I for sure get my stuff to work. There might be some unnecessary steps I take, but I end up with what I want. Many people have trouble keeping their registry stuff to stick. The steps I take, I never worry about that.

Thanks for the tip. Was not aware you could make shortcuts this way. Running from the card appeals because the .exe will still be there after reflashing a new ROM and I will only need to move/copy the shortcut. Being a newb I have been somewhat reluctant to run apps from the card but I am gathering that is is a quite an acceptable thing to do.

Is there a way to place registry keys inside a CAB so that they will get imported when the CAB is launched? Whilst the above DotFred association method works a treat for me with ".reg" files I would like to find a standalone method to import registry info. So that I can pass a single file to someone else and without any extra config they can import the contents into their registy.

definitely. There are a lot of cab creators where you can just enter in your reg key and will create your cab. Someone recommended me this program. I really like it.

Thanks for the link thomasster. Does the job well. Probaly an overkill (and therefore overpriced for what I need), but I got it to work OK. Also from using it, I learnt that the process simply converts the registry keys to provxml. So now I am looking to manaully create the "_setup.xml" and then use iexpress.exe in Vista to create the CABs.

Is there a way to undo changes made by import .reg file?
I imported a reg file using DotFredd's Taskmanager. Now I want to undo it? Is it possible? How?
Thanks

Registry Editor for ATT tilt

Guys,
I have tried to install PHM Registry Editor, i used the desktop installer and that did not work. Can someone please point me to the correct cab file i need to use for wm6.
Thank you.
http://www.techspot.com/downloads/301-total-commander.html

(last i recalled)
I use this one. Just unzip to PC desktop and run it form there (with device synced):
Thanks guys
I tried commander it did not work.Is this for PC or pocket pc. Could not find the registry editor in there lots of other crap but no registry editior. It also says I can have lan access I can not find anywhere where I can access file sittin on LAN.
Can you throw a few pointers.
Mobile registry, I have to use a pc to edit. Not very convenient as I dont have my pc with me all the time.
Is there anything else outthere.
Here ya go...
This is cooked into several of the ROMs out there but I find it very handy.
copy the TaskMgr.exe to your /Windows folder on the Tilt/Kaiser
Copy the shortcuts to /Windows/Start Menu/Programs/* (somewhere in here)
Hope this helps.

Hi, TotalCommander is PPC software. By using it you will find a folder \\ in root. There are 3 folders in \\: ftp, LAN and registry.

Transcriber for hx4700

I have just purchased an HX4700 and downloaded a WM6 rom....there are some very talented people out there. I have searched the web for any other rom to get the 'transcriber' functionality back but am not having any luck. I apologise if there is already an entry about this however I have not found it.
I did down a CAB file and copied to my pda, clicked on the setup...got a screen like html text, did a soft reset but nothing changed. It was called MS_transcriber. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Read this and this.
Download.
Thankyou CWKJ for the help.....excuse my ignorance but I'm not sure where to go with the info in the other threads.
I am running wm6.1. I extracted the 'Input Method Fix' and copied the files to my PDA. I then double clicked on the '_setup.xml' file and a list of text like html ran. I then did a soft reset of the device but the transcriber functionality is not listed as a input option.
Do I need to physically alter the registry file and if so how? I have done it on a PC many times but not a PDA.
thankyou for your patience.
By installing the cab, the registry should be correct.
There are tools like TotalCommander (freeware, google and you will find) which I use can help read registry, but do not try to meddle registry for new comers.
For both Recognizers, check if msim.dll is in \windows\ directory.
For Transcriber, check if TranscriberSip.dll is in \windows\ directory.
Using file explorer to check the files may not work as the files may by hidden. If you cannot find them, use TotalCommander as file explorer to check.
If it is not there, I will send them to you, and you just need to copy them into \windows\ directory.
I downloaded total commander. Ran a search for the "TranscriberSip.dll" file however could not find it.
I would appreciate it if you could send it to me thanks.
Shane
.....I had changed the preferences to look for hidden files as I did find the "msim.dll".....still need the "TranscriberSip.dll" from you if you could assist.
Tks, Shane
27/5/08: Disregard my last as I have solved the Transcriber issue. Was a *.cab install issue.
Tks again for the help.

Just got my Tilt i have a question about buying games

i plan on getting guitar hero mobile but i was wondering how do i back it up incase i have to restore my phone?
You can just save the .cab (or .exe) installation file on your desktop pc....
Then remember to save your save game file from you ppc..
when i dl the game onto my phone doenst it automatically delete the cab file? if not where is it found?

Yes, it does..
You have to edit a reg key to not delete the .cab you installed.... (but at the moment I don't remember which one....)
But you can duplicate the .cab file, so you always will have a copy....
well i have no idea how to edit the registry or anything is there an easier way? will att charge me again if i have to dl it again?
If you download it again surely you'll pay again.....
Just copy the .cab file to your desktop pc, and there won't be problems in the future....
how do i copy it to my pc doesnt it auto install once i pay and dl it?
jbed settings
look 4 a setting in jbed options. I remember saw an option to not delete cab after installed.
this is all greek to me can i use kaisertweak to edit the registry or what do i need?
OK, found the option in Advanced Config under Miscellaneous | "Delete CAB file after install", set it to NO.

Is there a program for Automatic Registry edits??

Hey, i had a question, the TP has got many tweaks, you have to manually put them into the registry, my question is: is there a program that can do al the tweaks that i want automatically? i know there are some programs like advanced config, diamond tweak etc etc. but i only want a to put all the "Queries" in 1 txt file just like SDCONFIG.TXT. sorry for my english! hope someone can help me or make a program like this! i think a program like this could help many people, especially the people who are afraid of editing the registry.
thnx in advance
Using an XML file, you can accomplish this with SDCONFIG.TXT and a provisioning XML, see this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1896955&postcount=2

ok thnx for your help!
now can anyone make a XML files with the best working tweaks for the TP ???
Use Diamond Tweak
You could use advanced confic and then select export provisioning or something like that and then select witch items you want to export and then put that into your sdconfig worked perfect for me using sashimi witch does the same thing basicaly as sdconfig just easier to add and delete cab's and whatnot.
If you know all of the registry tweaks, you can use my QuickCab utility to create a cabfile. Just put your registry tweaks in the cab file, and install it like a regular program.
Here's the thread and I'm working on a new version that should be ready for testing soon.

nice going to see that topic!
You can export/import also parts of the registry with Resco Explorer and Registry add-in. Best software for PC I can recommend is Registry Workshop to join/split/compare registry entries,etc...

Opera Mobile opening cab files as text

I have this problem with Opera Mobile 9.5 where I try to download a cab file to install on my phone but it instead opens the cab file as text. There isn't a "Save file as" option in the menus so how can I download the cab file without opening it as text?
Type in opera:config and check through the settings, or you could reinstall.
Guys I am having this problem also and need to fix it.
The thing is when I type :config in Opera and try to log into settings nothing happens. Please how can I remove that **** Opera off my phone?????????
Need to install all the cabs that I need...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks
I have never had any problem downloading anything with Opera... Actually, I tend to try and use Opera to download with because it's download manager works so well.
It sounds like you have a setting off somewhere in your phone... probably with Opera, assuming you can download with IE just fine.
Also, you want to type in the address bar "opera:config" without the quotation marks, and that is where you will find the advanced settings that control downloads with Opera.
As well, maybe try downloading a different version of Opera? I like this one:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ywydu3iczxn/WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9-build_15954_WWE_QVGA.CAB
That is not what I mean.
I downloaded files throught my PC, hooked Omnia to it and copied the files to the phone's SDcard.
The cab files of all progs are "branded" Opera. meaning if you want to run them, they open through Opera and not execute style. Got it?

Ah, ok... I don't think that is the same problem they were having... I don't know what the solution to that would be, since a .cab file is an .exe file written to run a PPC, thus when you click on it, it should run itself without any other program opening it...
I would say try downloading the cab files directly on to your phone with the built in browser, save them to your memory card of course...
But if you are copying a .cab file on to your phone, and using file explorer to launch it, there is no reason it shouldn't work, it is a self executing file that doesn't look for a mother program to run it... Unless somehow you have managed to change them so that they try and open with Opera, either through your phone settings or properties of the cab itself type thing.
I think I have no choice but to disable or uninstall Opera in some way.
If someone can help me to do this, I think I can manage with the cab files then...
I don't think that will fix your problem. Those files will still be linked to Opera. And if Opera is part of your ROM, you can't uninstall it... actually even if you loaded it yourself, unless you did one of the uninstallable versions, it can't be uninstalled...
At this point, it would help if you gave more information:
What, if any mods, you have done to your phone?
What program did you use to copy the files to the SD card?
Where did you get the cab files?
Heck, what cab files are they?
These mods:
http://www.samsung-omnia.org/how-to/howwhatwherewhichwhywhen/
And the cab files are related to advanced configuration tools, Omnia patched dialler, SPB mobile shell and a couple others.
You might want to ask that forum for assitance? It looks like they are pretty dedicated to the Omnia, which most everyone here does not have one. This forum is for the HTC Kaiser specifically, and the site as a whole is dedicated to HTC devices. Perhaps post in the general section of this site, but I think you will have better luck with the omnia site you got all of your cabs from.
In general, without having screen shots, or hands on knowledge of the cab files you are trying to use, about all I can say(and anybody really) in this forum is that there is something corrupt with the .cab files or your file explorer is corrupted. I would bet the .cab files are corrupted, and that somewhere along the way you did something wrong. Maybe you skipped a step in the whole process, and Opera is coming up not because they are tagged to run through Opera, but because it is suggesting to search for something using your default browser.
It really is hard to say, but I would suggest asking that forum for some support. Also, I would flat out re-download all the cabs straight to your phone from the site, not your computer. This will make sure you don't have any issues with the sync process. As well, save them to the root of you SD card, in other words not in a folder.
Sometime i got this problem but it seem it happen when the page is not fully loaded
Do you open cab files through Opera?
Open link in new tab
Hi
I have also had this problem with opera version 9.5.16277. I have found a couple of work arounds:
1) Tap and hold on the link and then select "Open in new tab"
2) Tap and hold on the link and select "Copy link location". Then manually open a new tab and paste the address into the address bar.
I have found that if 1) above does not work 2) will.
Cheers

Sometimes it's the website itself.
For example, for Josh's Test ROM, if we click directly (even on PC) on the link, it'll open the zip file on the page. I had to 'right-click' and 'save the link as' to save the file.
It might be some code on the page ..
Input the two .reg files to the registry, should just solve the problem. You can use any regiedit tools or taskmgr.exe or total command to do it. If don't know how, please search some info first.

The above is my answer to origional poster of this thread.
But since this thread is already goes to off-topic, I would also write my comments:
Opera opens compressed file as text on page, is a big bug for opera software, it happens to both its mobile and desktop vdersions. But latest releases of Opera Mobile seems have some progress on this issue, although still can not completely avoid it.
