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.

Please read this fot basic understanding: http://www.winguides.com/article.php?id=1&page=2&guide=registry
But how do I find it on the phone? or could I configure my 8125 through my pc's HKey?
Open Total Commander,
Make sure that the address is at "\"
Tap on "\\"
Then tap on "Registry"
There you go.
No Offense But dont touch what you dont know
If you dont know what HKEY means, or where its located, or how to access it and what to do with it you really really shouldnt mess with it. All it takes is one minor screw up, mistyped character, to turn you $300 - $600 into a paper weight. I would make sure you know absolutley sure what your doing before you mess with it. Not being mean, but trying to help you save your phone and some potential money. Im pretty sure it would void your warranty.....
I 2nd that Messing with Registry is always risky. That being said I use Resco Explorer and the Registry can be seen and edited via the Registry Editor Shortcut or inside Resco Explorer itself. I'd say do a backup 1st before hacking away... worst case is you do a hard reset if you really mess up IMO. Goodluck
Okey... I have a problem too...
I was able to find a registry folder. However there is no HKEY directory... All I got are: HKCR, HKCU, and HKLM...
How can I find HKEY?
fair enough.
HK stands for HKEY_
LM stands for LOCAL_MACHINE
CU stands for CURRENT_USER
Acronyms. :idea:

I'm new to this also, and although I "shouldn't go messing with the registry," if I don't I won't learn.
I got both Total Commander & PHMregEdit the other day. I was able to navigate to and change the values in the registry to increase the cache size & use the 4-way d-button in Internet Explorer. They were pretty easy because all you had to do was change a value.
However, I would like to enable the Cap-Lock & Symbol-Lock indicator as described in the FAQ & on HoFo. I can get to the Control Panel & then to the keyboard directory, but I'm not sure how to Create a Registry or Create an Entry. Do I click on the "+Add Value+" at the bottom of the directory, the type "EnableIndicator" in the prompt that says "new value #1"? I tried clicking File-New Directory, and it made a folder, but I deleted that because I didn't think that was right.
Any help will be appreciated, I don't know anybody to learn this stuff from or anyplace other than here to learn it. Thanks.

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.

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
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

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!
I'm trying to use Sashimi auto installer, but I can't find the registration key for these software in the registry... Anyone know a fast way to find them?
- Anton Tomov Pocket Mechanic
- DinarSoft.MemMaid.v2.3.Build.230
- PPCLink HiCalc v2.5.1
- Resco Explorer 2008 v7.05

- Resco Registry Add-in
- z2remote v1.2
Not that important
- Resco Audio Recorder
- Makayama.com Pocket Live TV
- Astraware Solitaire
- Glu Mobile Super Slam Ping Pong
- Hexacto Soccer
I'm not asking for the registry key (that's illegal). I'm asking for the registry of these softs which I've already installed and registered in my device.
The only thing i can think of (and im taking a long shot) is download a registry editor and use it to see if there is a folder with the registration there.
Can you dump the registry, before and after the registration and then compare the Hive using something like Winmerge?
I keep meaning to this my self, but never have time

Some mod Suggested me to do the samething, but I don't quite understand how to do that.
So I have to backup all the REG in 1 reg file, then install my program, then do another Full REG backup and finally compare them?
Isn't it way too much especially the *.reg file is like 0 000001000 021? What do you mean by comparing the Hive? can I just like compare the folder name?

The Hive is just another name for the whole Registry.
If you have two .reg files they should be plain text and easy to read. Find and download WinMerge and just use it to compare the two reg files. The difference is the probably going to be the registration data.

Havent done this for a while, but I used to use SKtracker. Basically it makes a log of your registry. Then apply the registration and run sktracker again. It will then compare the two logs and list everything that has changed.

Is it a good idea if I put all the cab in the CAB folder and the full registry backup file into the REG folder, instead of making 1 reg for each cab?
The only problem I can see here is if I switched to a completely new Rom. So if I make 2 registry backup files for HKLM\software and HKCU\Software, it should do the trick right?

How do I use regedit to alternate like shown above???
You can try PHM regedit. It's same like desktop pc regedit.
you can also try the "pocket version" of TotalCommander, there a biult-in Plugin for the registry
Problemo
Hey
Couldn't get it to work, and couldn't actually find the exact HKEY either from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Rin gDirectory = Storage Card\music.
For me it was identical up till \SoundCategories, but no RingDirectory key. It looked something like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory
Modifying the Ring\Directory into "Storage Card\music" didn't help either, any ideas what could be the problem?
Also cannot get this to work. Have changed the setting from original \windows\ to Storage Card\music. Can anyone advise on the exact think to type in the space. Even tried adding the \ in front but same results
I tried it as well and didn't work. The strange thing is that I also used SKTools and found this as a configurable setting and it did nothing as well, seems that it was changing the same registry value.
