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" ""
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

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

turn off "message sent" notifiaction

hi there,
is it possible to turn off this annoying notification? Instead of clicking dismiss each time?
and the other question, can you suggest the best way to edit the registry of the device?thx
ps.i just bought tilt for myself, previously i used an 8125

There's a sticky thread with KaiserTweak. Download it, it has MANY tweaks like the one you're talking about. It will fix a lot of annoyances.

yes, it's possible.
use kaiser tweaks or schaps advanced config programs.

1. using a Registry Editor (I use Resco File Explorer), navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
2. Next, click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key
3. Name the New Key as "Settings"
4. Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value
5. On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1
6. Soft reset your device and test it with one SMS
Cheers
Rowan

For what it's worth, my AT&T Tilt already had that string value in it, and I changed the value data from 0 to 1 and it works great. Thanks!

registry editor!!!!

can anyone give me a link to a good registry editor that i can actually edit registry's..... thanx i really need one for tweaks

Please use the search button, that's what it's for.
I use PHM Registry Editor.

I use CeRegEditor.
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/

I would recommend CE Reg editor.

Hi, I got confused
I installed the CeRegistry. However when i try this tweak:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0" ( Wake Up on New SMS).
It says 'Access denied' and 'You can not change the value data'.
But if i try this tweak:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1 (Enable GPS photo )
It works.
Mine is o2 xda Diamond.
I just wonder if i am restricted for special part of the reg that i can modify. If so how can i unlock this restriction?

There's an option in CERegEdit to unlock. There is in the one I use anyway...

I tried that already in under 'Tool'
It says that the reg is unlocked.
However when i try to modify the value, i still got the same error msg:
'Access denied'.
That's where i got confused

Read http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Registry editors & other, related stuff

HKLMWTF?

Ive never hacked a WM device and I have no clue how to get to the HKLM so I can make changes. Trying to find this information is exhausting so I figured Id just ask and get a simple answer.
Thanks in advance.

registry editor

as mentioned already, it is a registry value (abbreviated)
HKLM would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Right, that Ive found out already(through my research). However, my question is how do I get there to use it to change things on my Diamond found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417873)?

you need an application to search the registry, try googling for PHM registry editor, I use that and it's good.

Well, if you are not that good on computer stuff maybe you should not touch the Registry Editor.
You could use simple installable .cabs to modify your Jewel how ever you want.
Why don't you state what mod you want to take forth and Members here will help you.
Greetings

if you download an exe file like PHM registry editor
if it's an exe you run it on the computer and it use activesync to install
to the pda
if it's a cab file you copy it to the pda and run it there
but as stated if you dont know what you're doing
messing around with the registry is not adviced

Ok, fair enough. I installed the .cab file for the blackberry connect but have no idea where to go from there.
Secondly, Id love to be able to do the things found on the updated diamond tweaks thread.
ie:
Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall 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
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
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
Enable Better Power Management
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SIM_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
Thanks. Sorry for being such a pain.

Part of my problem is Im running off a mac mostly. I have a PC on the side but I hate using it. I figured thats the only way I can get to the registry on the phone though.

Prob best to install either Diamond Tweak or Advanced config which is like a GUI interface to do alot of the registry tweaks plus alot more.

I would also suggest that you'd get a little more help if you wouldn't use such obnoxious terms as "WTF" in the title of your post.
