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.

Hello all,
I'm not sure how I've done it, but I seam to have made my phone only run signed applications. Other than splatting it (I'll have to find out how to do that in a bit) how can I undo this? I take it this is a reg setting somewhere? Does anyone know which, and if I can get a signed reg editor, or one that runs on my computer?
Cheers,
Mike

hmm ... that is funny never ran into that before. I don't know about a signed register editor but can you run kaiser tweak?? it has an option to disable security warnings for unassigned apps. If all fails try doing a hard reset (back up important data first).
There occured some problems after doing this registry change, please read posts below.
Ok Guys and Girls,
Because noone could help me with my questiong on howto keep the Registry settings for Hiding Sim Contacts, I searched the registry myself.
After some hours of Try&Error i found the registry entry for flushing the registry on Power off and Soft Reset.
This will help a lot
1. Go into Registry with Resco or other regedit tool
2. Find Entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\Regflush
3. Change Value "ActivityThreshold" from "1" to "0"
Thats it. Have fun
Please test it and post here. If it does work for all, then please write it into the Diamond Tweak list.
Bye

I don't want to offend you, but you could have saved those hours by just making sure you search / read my articles as is also mentioned in the sticky thread. I've explained the meaning of the value at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/old_blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=898&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 .
"ActivityThreshold specifies the # of reg activity before we force a flush; [FlushPeriod:] Timeout period for a flush (flush occurs if there have been some changes during this period)... These settings cause the registry to flush when there are 256 changes or any changes within a second(which is probably too often.)"
Nevertheless, nice to know the Diamond comes with the default value of 0 and this is why it doesn't necessarily flush back changes to the flash storage. Very few (if any) models come with this setting.
Use this with caution!!! I have problems with my registry now!
@Menneisyys
Thanks for your Article. Have read through it but didnt find it in the forum.
Maybe you can help out a little
There is a problem with my registry now.
As you mentioned the value 0 is possible but now I cant change any registry entries. What do you think happend?
Maybe you can help out. What would be the best value to set?
Maybe people where the Registry is not being flushed can look at the value of ActivityThreshold and tell us.
Thx
aff u ****ed up my device to xDDD, anyone knows how to fix this?
omg phone not working and i cant even make a hard reset or flash another rom cos it acts like a disk drive and if i change to activesync it gets changed again to disk drive after some seconds :S

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had an idea on how to tell if the optical pad is currently enabled on the Xperia X1 programmatically? Is there a registry setting somewhere that shows the current mode (D-Pad or Optical)?
...I actually don't have an X1 at the moment, otherwise I would have have been able to investigate this more. I've checked through the xda forums and on Google and haven't found any hints on this.
Hopefully, someone has already come across this setting and will be able to point me in the right direction?
Also, a second question... does anyone have any thoughts on how to detect whether the current device is an "Xperia X1"? I'm guessing there would be a registry setting for this.
Thank you -- any information would be very much appreciated.
I know for one that the device info is a .txt document in the windows folder. I have no idea about the D-pad though. I can't imagine you'd be able to tell through the registry, as modes aren't usually controlled through the registry - which is rather used for fixed variables. I think only the driver "knows" the current status. Won't be easy to extract.

Thank you for your prompt response Angelusz. Do you happen to recall the name of the .txt file with the device info?
As for the location of the optical/d-pad mode setting, I actually wouldn't be at all surprised if they stored it in the registry. The setting has to be stored on the system somewhere, and the registry is as good a place as any.
(Sometimes, it's actually beneficial to store things in the registry since then you don't have to worry about creating your own custom file format, or writing file read/write classes.)
Anyone willing to check the registry for such a setting? Or perhaps do a search using the Remote Registry Editor ("Edit->Find")? Maybe a search for "optical" or something?
I'd probably assume that there would be something stored in "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers"...
Really, any help with this would be great.
Thanks again.
ModelName.txt - it just sais X1i - or X1a if it's an X1a ofc.
I searched the registry for "dpad" - no results.
Checked HKLM/Drivers - no results.
I still think I'm right.

Thanks for the additional info on the filename and it's contents. So, (just to confirm) the only thing in that file is "X1i" or "X1a"? Or would I have to parse for anything else in there?
Also, thank you very much for doing that search, much appreciated!
Hehe... well, I'm not saying that I'm 100% sure you're wrong, but it wouldn't surprise me if you were ...I'm just saying that the driver has to look somewhere to see whether the optical pad is enabled or not.
They can either use a file or the registry, that's pretty much it. Otherwise a soft-reset or battery drain would cause that setting to be reset.
Okay, one more request, if you don't mind.
Would you (or anyone) be willing to do a registry search for the term "optical" with "Values" and "Keys" checked, in HKEY_CURRENT_USER and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE?
I realize that this is a lot to ask, so please feel free to say no. In any case, I really do appreciate all of the time you've spent on this so far.
Thanks again for all of your help!
----------
it is under settings, there you can see the optical pad icon to change the settings.
you can put it on/off and there is a option if you want to use it in ie (internet explorer) and you can adjust the sensitivity.
peace to all
p.s. sorry for my useless english i am from hollan

Yes, just X1i or X1a.
That finds some settings, just some strings. A filename, OpticalJoystick_Setings.exe (the app below post describes) and that's it.

Wow, sorry about the super-delayed response - I didn't see a notification of any new posts come into my email...
Anyway, thank you very much for confirming the data in the text file, Angelusz; and for running the additional registry search. This is very useful and I thank you deeply for taking the time to look into all of this stuff for me!
blackice168: Thank you for your post as well... I saw what you wrote before you deleted it and it was actually quite helpful since I didn't know that about the X1. Turns out that I was asking the wrong question... heh
gizmo1908: Thank you also for your post; and don't worry, your english is actually quite good!
Based on the various posts I now know what to do with the X1; so thanks again everyone!
Hello everyone. I've got the HTC Pure from AT&T. I was reading through some other posts about registry tweaks to improve the performance of the camera, unlock picture modes, increase photo quality, etc. All of the tweaks seemed relatively harmless to the phone, and the only risk was to the camera if something didn't work.
Well something did not work, but I'm not sure what it was. Some of the tweaks worked fine (like unlocking Sport and Burst photo modes). However, now whenever I take a regular picture with the camera the phone freezes when it displays the picture I just took. The only thing I can do at that point is press the "end/hang up" button to return to the main Today screen in TF3D. But then when I return to the camera app it won't load, and the picture I just took was not saved either. If I run the cleanRAM app, the results show between 1-2megs freed up, then the camera app responds again, but still the same end result.
I've reviewed all the settings in HKLM>Software>HTC>Camera and everything there and in those subfolders appears normal. But I don't remember what the settings were originally. I'm hoping if I return the camera registry settings to their default values this problem will be fixed.
Does anyone have a list of the default HTC camera registry settings? Also, what are the other registry keys that affect the camera besides the folder where I've been looking?
By the way, I did post this same question in the "Windows Mobile General" section, but a senior member suggested I post it here instead. I'm relatively new to this site and didn't realize a specific section existed for the Pure/TD2.
There are multiple keys throughout the registry that affect the camera.
You may need to do a hatrd reset to get it back.
I'm trying to avoid that. I was hoping that someone had a stock rom and could export the registry for me to compare, or at least the sections affecting the camera.
If someone out there (who has NOT modified the registry sections for the camera) could just share the info that would be great.

i wish i could help you because i had a at&t pure too, but i'm already change the values of the registry and i don't have any idea wich could be the originals.
by the way, i have tried to change the values of the size of the pictures taken in modes busrt and sports, and screwed my camera jajaja
i don't remember the values of the keys that i've changed, so i just put a more logical number and my camera worked again!!!
excuse my english

That would be amazing and really helpful! If it's not too much trouble, after your hard reset, just export the entire registry so we'll always have it as a reference going forward for anyone who needs original values.
Ok, so I finally broke down and did a hard reset on my Pure. It's a pain in the butt, but there was no other way to fix the little irritating glitches that I was having.
After the hard reset, the VERY FIRST thing I did was install PHM Registry Editor and export a backup of the entire registry. I also created a separate backup of the camera settings in HKLM>Software>HTC>Camera, because that was where I think the problem was coming from.
However, PHM creates .rbk files, not .reg files, and I don't know how to view them. It's all a jumbled mess when viewed with Notepad. There is no option to change the exported backups to .reg files either. But anyway, at least I've got a backup file of the entire registry if I need to reference it later - I'll just have to find a way to actually view these files or change them to .reg's.
