Ok I have searched and not run across anything without reading every thread in here.
How do I change my default input method from keyboard to letter recognizer and MAKE it stick.
I change it i the input menu and reg edits but every time I soft reset it is back.
...we're on the same boat :?

I'm after the phone pad so I can still use the 8125/Wiz screen as a normal phone keypad at times and not have to whip out the stylus.
whatever you do, dont use registry wizard to set it... I white screened a week ago doing that, hard reset
hope to find a solution
Perhaps this:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP
DefaultIM {42429667-.... or one of the others {42429690- {42429691-
Look in the neighborhoud HKCR\CLSID\{424296...... for the others.
Cheers
edit: In case it wasn't clear you need to fill in the whole CLSID in the DefaultIM string value. So {42429667- including the } at the end.
It should work after a soft reset (gone with a hard reset)
Any Solutions to this yet?
Thanks

I'm on a Charmer, I used to able to change the Letter Reg SIP as default before I upgraded my ROM. I thought I'm the only one.
i'm triing to change the reg value with total commander and with wizard reg but after a restart the phone hang on white screen... someone can help me?
i want to use nullkb as default probably is not possible?

yes but i make a hard reset after the first try (manually change registry with tcmd) and i try in another way...white screen in every try
lost in translation...
I was saying that if you TRY to use registry wizard to set it, you will get a white screen, and be left having to HARD RESET....
Not the best solution, but perhaps you could use my program SwitchSip to change the SIP on every soft reset. I don't know if it'll stick though, I've never tried...

thanks i try with your program, i never search the forum enough if i don't found your post.
i don't know why there is no possiblity to change default IM in the WM configuration.

I think we've all tried the method. Read the posts above carefully.
Just as a problem recap: the default SIP reghack no longer works on AKU2 ROMS. The kbd default occurs after a soft reset no matter what you have changed the registry value to.
I'm working on this one too. I coded up a program that quickly set the SIP to block recognizer and exited figuring I could just add it to the startup programs folder to switch over after a soft reset.
However, while this program works just great normally, it doesn't change the SIP when run at startup. I am working on why this is, currently. So far I've determined that my program is able to find the block recognizer SIP so the SIP dll is loaded. Tomorrow I may get a few more minutes to work on it. I'll code my program to check to see if it correctly set the SIP to block recognizer and re-attempt to change until it's successful. I'm guessing that this will have no effect on the issue since my current working theory is that the kbd default is set sometime after the startup programs run.
Guys, I don't know whether my app worked or not, but this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=317635#317635
seems to suggest it did. I don't have a wizard to test it on though

@vijay555:
I've got my little app set up on my today screen so I can just tap it quickly after everything's loaded to change my sip but it won't work if I drop it into my startup folder.
Perhaps this is what the poster you refer to is doing? Does your program check the default SIP using SipGetCurrentIM after you switch to see if the operation worked? Or do you just check for an error code after calling SipSetCurrentIM. Me, I'm just checking for an error currently and am not getting one.
Sleuth255: I really can't remember how I did it, I wrote it in c++ before I could program in c++, somehow. I'm on a promise to rewrite it sometime, and turn it into VJSipSwitch, for now it's merely a bastard child.
However, despite this, it's also designed to be configured as a shortcut to be launched from a hardware key or shortcut... if it becomes an issue, I'll look over the code again.

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
Can someone tell me how to "clear" the recently used apps when you hit the start menu? I find it cluttering and would like to clear it if not eliminate it altogether. Any ideas? Thanks!
sometimes help soft reset, but not everytime..
there is a software.. called.. "clearmenu", or "clearitem".. or just "clear" which is attached to many cooked rom, that is to be installed to your Windows/Startup folder.. which will clear everything in your most recent used list on every soft reset. You can clear it without soft reset, in case you are wondering. and soft reset will not do the job if you dont have the software.
i do not want to spam this thread and discuss it with you, but do not agree with

interesting.. but can I check with you the OS that you are using? Or, better still, you just go into your "\Windows\Start up\" to check if there are anything there, that starts with a 'clear'?
Anyway, since you said "sometimes" soft reset works, I would assume that it is not a repeatable process. If that's the case, probably that the 'sometimes' is the case where the regsitry got messed up and the 'recent used list' gone, and hence coincidently it worked as you wanted to.
Anyway, it is quite a new discovery, but just check with me the `start up` menu (better still, list everything there, can't be too much stuff there), to see if there are any working ones there.
ok, what i want to say is that clearing with apps you mentioned is not only one solution and as you correctly typed, it is done only "sometimes" and i was never trying find out when this happened (or why). now correct?
Help
Ok, guys, there has to be a better way to clean out the recently used apps menu. Anyone???
there is a registry hack... anyone????
Use MortScript and create a text file called cleanup.mscr and place the following in there:
Code:
ErrorLevel off
RegDeleteKey HKCU,Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch,1,1
Place this file in \Windows\StartUp and it will clean up the Recent Menu Items in the Start Menu at every reboot.
big thanks!
do you happen to know the reg location of "recent programs" listed in "start"?
Delete the string entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch then soft-reset. That'll get rid of the recently used app list on the Start Menu.
I have been using the attached file since I had my Wizard and it works great on my Kaiser too! Just put the "startclean.exe" in your "\windows\startup" folder and it will remove the most recently used apps from the menu after each soft reset.
Someone posted this file a long time ago and I can no longer find the thread.
Use this program !!

soft reset is OPTIONAL !!
Maybe I am overlooking something... but, is there a way to permanently prevent recently used applications from showing up in the Start menu?
Thanks!
My today screen date is changing from one line to two lines. I want it to only use one line.
As you can see, the font is not changing any, something is just causing it to display using two lines. After a hard reset, the date displays correctly (one line). I install Pocket Plus, SKTools, Pocket Informant, and change settings but I cannot figure out what is causing the date to change to two lines. The only consistant thing is that it happens after a soft reset. This implies one of my programs is making a registry edit that gets applied after the soft reset.
I can not find a registry edit that affects the number of lines the date uses.
Any ideas? Thanks.

Thanks for the reference, though I have already gone thru all the suggestions in that thread (and many others).
Note that the date is changing from one line to two lines. I would like to figure out why it is changing and thus be able to fix the actual problem instead of installing a new cab and using some other work-around.
At this point, I am quite certain that SKTools is causing the change which implies it may be a registry edit.
Any other ideas?
Okay, I seem to have figured it out. SKTools was indeed causing the change in used lines. SKTools has a setting, TuneUP!->System Tweaks->Single line date plugin, which is set to no by default. So after SKTools is installed and any of the TuneUP! settings are adjusted, the "no" setting for Single line date takes effect (after a soft reset).
ok new to window mobile. i have tweaked alittle on my phone and am wondering if i did the clear storage and soft reset before the 3 seconds. would that clear all the software i have downloaded and give me a fresh start.

ok
ok so this will get rid of all the software and cabs exe and read me file and anything else ive put on the phone. after doing this will i be able to sync with outlook for my contacts back. one other thing. i have re mapped my ptt will this be affected due to the program i downloaded to make this happen. file named oem assign ptt button
It will erase everything you have done. The phone will be exactly as it was when you first booted it up. Clean slate.
Oh and yea, you can use activsync to get your contacts back, but I save mine to the sim card as well, just in case.
what about the ptt remapping with some reg edit and program oem assign ptt button

all registry changes and program installations will be undone. Think of a hard reset as you would think of reinstalling windows on your PC, all settings, programs, etc... are lost. Hope I helped. lataz.
Hard reset will get rid of everything, the boot following the hard reset will be at factory settings - just like if you bought it today.
When the screen says customization starting in 3 seconds, after the hard reset, insert stylus and do a soft reset. That will rid your phone of all the extra AT$T bloatware.
