How to change default directory for auto slide show? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I like to use the automatic slide show screensaver on my AT&T Tilt. (Programs>Pictures & Videos>Menu>Tools>Options>Slide Show>"Play screensaver when connected to my PC and idel for 2 minutes") Ever since I flashed the official AT&T WM6.1 Rom, it's been showing the photos in the Storage Card/DCIM/100MEDIA directory instead of My Documents/My pictures.
Does anyone know how to change the default directory for the screensaver slide show?
Thanks.

I'm sure search would have given you the answer.
I suggest looking for advanced config on your phone. Kaiser tweak does that too I believe. I'm sure search has more answers.

Now why didn't I think of that? Oh wait...I did! Search turned up the same question, but no solutions.
I use Kaiser Tweak, but there's no option to change the screensaver directory.

get total commander or whatever the regediter is and go to
hkcu\software/microsoft/pictures/storagecardpath
I'm sure you can figure out the rest.. Oh Wait did you think of that?

Nice thread... Hmz...
The reg. key suggested is incorrect.
While set to a dir on my storage-card, The slideshow still plays \My documents\My Images

Tilt....Sliding Keyboard sounds

I'm new at this, but I was wondering....on the AT&T TILT, is there a way to make your own sliding keyboard Sounds (besides the three on there already), and if so...where do I put the files (directory-wise?)
put them in \windows\

And I believe they have to be .wav files
They need to be named a certain way, and there are also registry keys that have to be added for new each Open and Close sound.
I found the instructions on a Mogul group at PDAPhone home.
They are step by step.
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-...-your-slide-open-close-sounds.html#post652344
If you look through that linked thread there are even some sound files available.
There's actually more to it than just placing them in the Windows dir. You'll need to edit the registry as well.
Here's a thread related to this.
Have fun!
*edit* Looks like I got beat to the punch. The link above mine is a great place to learn more about it too.
what if I want to have no noise when I open and close the keyboard. How do I accomplish that?
plucas
start menu>settings>keyboard sliding sound> uncheck box
Thanks draxredd, I did not see that option.

Figured i'd add something to this thread....
If you are using "Total Commander" to edit the registry, make sure that when you are adding the "Default" value under the SlidingSound / 3 / directory that you check the box that says "Default", instead of typing it in.
If you just type in Default, it won't work. I just got done struggling with that part for about 10 minutes and finally realized I had to check that stupid box that says "default" instead of typing it.
Have fun

HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin - Please export

I need someone to export HKLM/security/phone/skin from their phone. I'm trying to determine what keys were lost on phone when I was trying out some skins. If you could export (or copy/paste) the reg key and the sub-keys that would be awesome. Please post the attachement or the code to this thread...
thanks
enabled 1(0x000001)
ext \windows\phcanhtc.dll
Does that help? Or do you need sub directories also?

I really need the subkeys. What I'm trying to figure out is why my call history and speed dial buttons are using the default icons instead the ones actually in the \windows directory. I've verified that skin's icons are n the windows directory but when I view the phone app, the buttons are back to default (for call history and speed dial only).
If you could export or copy/paste the 'portrait' subkey that would be very helpful.
Here you go. Need more? Let me know.

Have you done any phone dialer skinning on this phone? or is it the original phone skin?
I've got a bunch of text color reg entries so maybe that's the cause...
I did install the black HTC dialer but removed it long ago. I didn't think about that when I exported it... sorry!

no worries....
I made a backup of that key, tehn removed everything that wasn't on yours... rebooting, I'll let you know what I find.
Damn, still got the default buttons.
Griz, can you check your speed dial and call history buttons. Anyway you can snap a screenshot to show what your buttons look like?
BTW.. thanks for all your help on this. If we find a fix I know many threads that will benefit from this....
I don't know if you will be able to see this, I dont have a screen capture app on my phone so I used a camera...? If it's bad, I will load a screen capture app and retake a picture for you. Or maybe you need to see more of the screen?
actually I need the speed list screen and the call history screen. Here's a good & free screen capture util....
Install this from your pc, then assign the magicSS application to a button, go to the screen you want to capture, press the button, save the file. When you are done, reassign the button to the previous setting.
Application credits go to Lou ........ http://www.louterrailloune.com/?page_id=7
OK, how is this?
the 3rd one is what I was looking for...
hate to tell you this, you have the same issue. look at the image used in the call history button in the image above. Now, view the actual files that are used for those images in the /windows directory. The files are:
spd_lst.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_out.gif
clg_missed.gif
The above files should look different then the above image. Do they?
This is what I see in /windows/clg_in.gif
-- scratch that...
that should be the image you see when viewing call history inbound calls, as you can plainly see from your screen shots, what's in the windows folder is not what is being displayed in the phone app.
And here's the kicker, at one point it did match. The image you show above (clg_in.gif) is what my original call history buttons display like. Even on some of the skins I tried, the speed dial and call history buttons skinned properly. I just notice that it won't do it anymore.
Either a registry entry has changed (or been lost) or there's some sort of OS icon cache issue.
The only reason I don't think it's registry related is that those files are usually treated differently when skinning the phone dialer. Most skins will create a folder with the replacement images, then the install will change the registry to display the images in this new folder. These 4 files never get put into the new folder, they always get dropped directly into the windows folder, overlaying the ROM file. Also, I've never seen any registry entry for these images. I would think that the registry entries (if they existed) would be under the reg key mentioned at the start of the thread.

OK, I never noticed that these were wrong icons. But it's an easy fix. Just replace the ones that are in the /windows dir with the ones you want.
Is that what you are after?

yes that's how it should work, but it doesn't.... it's displaying a set of icons bulit into to the phone app...

How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!
I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in
Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.
i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want
was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

Install/Run untrusted application - final solution?

Hello,
For the past few days the (from what I gather) well-known problem of not being able to install or run an 'untrusted' application has been plaguing me. However, I've been searching here and googling around for a long time now with no result...
Been using Dutty's 5.2.19199 (WM6.1) and I really didn't change any setting! So what gives? Any ideas?Basically, how do I get the prompt back (the one during installation)?
Thanks in advance!

Check your registry settings! Use KaiserTweak or Schaps' AdvanceConfig!
Yes, I know it must be something in the registry, but what? And, I thought of Tweak and AdvanceConfig but -guess what? They're not authenticated! Argh!

If you are technical, try this: Download KaiserTweak's latest XML file and open the file in Notepad. Then see what registry key(s) is(are) modified for this tweak.
Ah now - that's a great idea! But, do you know of any PC-based registry editor, since I cannot install one on my TyTNII?
If you're really technical, you can follow through with cmonex's way found here.
If not, search for dot fred task manager, which includes a great *FREE* registry editor amongst other tools, much better than PHM Reg Editor, imo....
Whoa, thanks a bunch. I'll try the task manager first (found here, btw), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to run it either - the whole system seems VERY restricted! I'll try to make heads from tails with the instructions in the other thread. Thanks so much!
Btw, I do seem to remember a program that allowed you to edit the PPC's registry from Windows PC, anyone remember that?
Thanks again guys - much, much appreciated!
You can run the untrusted app, i.e. Advanced Conig. Just select yes. Then make the changes.
BTW, to view the xml, just Open notepad on pc & drop the xml in the notepad window.
No I can't that's my problem - it just flat refuses to run it, it doesn't give me the prompt.. that's why I'm asking for a PC-based registry editor!
Anyhow, I'll try it today and will let you know if I manage it!

The problem with this cab (and another one I had found) is that, once the mobile goes berzerk, you can't install it because, of course, it's unsigned... Catch 22! Thanks anyway - and, by the way, superb site, added to my RSS aggregator at once!
Anyhow, I just applied the reg tweak (set to 0), reset, thing asks me to verify running unsigned start-up programs, I OK them, and then... still same problem! What the heck? There doesn't seem to be any other tweak...

It has to be set to 1 for disabling.. You set to 0?
Regards,
Carty..
Yes, I set it to 0; it was set to 1 (probably an earlier KaiserTweak session), but I actually wanted to get the prompt so that I could tell it that f*cking yes, I want to run/install the app!
Anyhow, been switching between 0 and 1 with no effect... Feel a hard reset coming on, but it's weird because I've found quite a few posts around (not necessarily here) and no solution...
Got the same problem after a white screen after hardspl, but changing the registry worked for me. Thanks, now I can try jumpspl.

Remove tab in TouchFLO 3D

anyone know how to remove useless TAB in TouchFlo 3D ?
anyone thanks
i would like to bump this because i am also interested in the topic
The tool in this thread can do exactly that
I tried this tool, and i manage to take the internet tab in TF3D off, but no way to put the "calls" tab... and i didn't manage to put the internet tab back... but perhaps i'm doing something wrong...
But if for sure you want to remove a tab, it worked.
Ciao

I'm aware of the TF3D tool. For the most part, I'm able to edit my registry manually just as if I were to check and uncheck the options available on the tool. I'm stump as far as "removing" a TF3D tab. I'm a space conscious guy (granted however small the file may be) - I will only resort to downloading a program when I have exhausted all possibilities. I've spent hours going through the registry but still no go. Any help would be great!
from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423647
- you can edit \windows\26948339_manila (i used total commander to edit)
- the tabs are listed like the calendar example you see there
- just remove the ones you don't want. you can also change the order. just make sure there's no gap between the numbers.
