When installing Customizer.CAB you will also install any .reg file found in Extended Rom. This way you don't have to make CAB's for simple registry changes. You can now quickly create .reg files to be included at hard reset.
.reg files in the following directories will be applied to registry:
\Extended_Rom
\Extended_Rom\REG
\Storage Card\Extended_Rom
\Storage Card\Extended_Rom\REG
\Storage Card\EXTROM
\Storage Card\EXTROM\REG
this way it will work with most of the custom WM5 versions.
How to use:
Add Customizer.CAB to your extended rom and add the appropriate line in Config.txt (CAB: \<extended rom>\Customizer.CAB
Then copy .reg files to any of the locations above.
Example of how to track changes in registry and create a .reg file:
1 - Use PHM RegEdit to export everything in registry to a new .reg file
2 - Make the neccesary changes to your device (Owner data, etc..)
3 - Use PHM RegEdit to export everything in registry to a new .reg file
4 - Transfer the two .reg files to your computer
5 - Use RegDiff (http://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA000007/regdiff.htm) to compare the two files and create a diff .reg file
6 - Remove unneccesary keys from the diff file (like state, date...)
7 - Transfer the diff .reg file back to your device
Hope someone will find this useful.
Funny one,
I implemented the registry edit to remove the SIM contacts
[ HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone - create a new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0 ]
But each time I switch the phone off and on again they appear again and the registry changes itself back again.
What's going on here then?
Something I'm doing wrong?
Anyone else had this happen?

It's a bug in the 1.37 ROM. I don't know whether this bug has been solved in the 1.93 ROM. Which ROM do you have ?
I have it too and everybody else with the 1.37 ROM, but found a solution to it. You can, after each soft reset, import the above registry key manually, but that's al lot of work each time.
Automatic solution is:
1. Dowload and install this .cab file on your Diamond: http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=65
2. Open notepad and copy and past the following code and save the file as HideSIM.mscr
Code:
#Basic script to automatically disable SIM contacts in Contact list in 1.37.0.0 ROM
#
#Written by MRE - Tuesday, august 8, 2008
#
#Set timer to wait to load complete registry. Do not modify.
#
Sleep 60000
#
# Enable or disable error reporting. Error levels are: off, critical, syntax, error, warn
#
#Errorlevel warn
#
#Delete original registry setting just in case
#
RegDelete ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Phone", "ShowSIM")
#
#Write registry settings to hide SIM contacts
#
RegWriteDWord ("HKCU", "ControlPanel\Phone", "ShowSIM" ,0)
#
exit
3. Place the HideSIM.mscr script in the \Windows\Startup folder and you're done.
Each time you soft reset your device, the script will run and your sim contacts won't show up in your contact list.
Thanx to Mirko Schenk for the Mortscript utility and the timeout tips
attached cab worked for me on 1.37
exe solution
Hi,
I created a simple exe to do it.
Place HideSIMContacts.exe in the windows\startup folder.
run it manually once (to validate the certificate warning).
This exe duplicates the 60 seconds wait behavior above.
cheers,
Mohamed
Does anyone know where the system and app configuration files are.
I'm trying to do 2 things:
1. Manually edit the default program list.
2. Manually edit a few different application config files to alter default configurations.

i need to create a pack for modify a some line on registry on some phone but i need this mod is save on phone and not delete if i proced to hard reset of the phone please you help me???
sorry if this question is already asked but i have try to search on forum but i'm not found
1. You can use Resco Registry extension for Resco Explorer. There you can export some registry entries and import them later.
2. You can create standalone cab with your registry settings. If your cab will delete after installation,set it as readonly.
3. You can use Registry Workshop software for PC to manipulate with registry
4. You can use Mortscript
Hi i'm trying to change one key in particular for a build of Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Build 23569
I'm having trouble editing the default.hv registry hive. Basically i'm looking to implement registry changes prior to cooking the rom.
My process has been;
Copy default.hv (from SYS/metadata) to rgu-hv tool directory
Convert file to rgu
rename to .txt
add REGEDIT4
Make the following change;
GLYPHCACHE size to 16384
Save to .RGU, unicode.
Convert back to default.hv, At this point i've checked with HV editor that the entry has been changed correctly.
Reinserted into sys/metadata.
Flashed, And the registry entry is back to 8192.
What am i doing wrong? Is this the wrong default.hv or .rgu file to edit or is this key uneditable?
Thanks
[SOLVED]
Found out why it isn't saving, There is a duplicate entry in the following location, perhaps overwriting the original, Or maybe these are a prior extraction of default.hv.
In my case the location was 0409\Base_Lang_0409
and the file - 813fd1d1-ca6f-4b6d-96d2-c97fb99bd535.rgu
Once changed in this rgu. the change sticks and can be viewed by CeRegEditor.
