Can I import a *.reg file into registry?

I have tried using several registry apps to successfully export [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Launcher] belonging to a previous Hutch 3 ROM.
I now want to re import these keys into my newly installed Duttys 6.1.
How do I do this?
Scuse the newb question (duck for cover) but on a PC you tap the *.reg and it will import into the registry. On my Kaiser running Duttys 6.1 I have PHM_Regedit but Import option is greyed out.
A search did not resolve it so any help would be appreciated.

Install FdcSoft's Taskmanager (it has a built in Regedit), by DotFred. In there you can associate .reg files with it. Then just run them to import.

Great I'll grab it. Thanks Dave I really appreciate the help. I know you all get sick to death of our newb questions.

Dont worry. I spent 10 minutes trying to use PHM before I gave up.
Dot Fred's TaskManager is a kick ass task manager as well as a reg editor (amongst other stuff).
P.S. Easiest way to associate is: Open TaskMgr, tools, options, Create RegEit Shortcut. This will ask do you want to associate.

Cool I can see how to do all that now thanx.
Only hiccup is I can only run it from my Storage card. I cannot work out how to copy it to my \Windows folder. I cannot work out how to delete the existing basic taskmgr.exe that installed with Dutty's. I guess this is because it is a system file. If I try and copy and replace I get error message saying not possible. Whats the trick here?

Don't know. I just leave the exe in My Docs, and run it from the shortcuts.

Okay. Will do same. thanks..

Resco Explorer will also do it.
To dotfred from your SD Card, do this:
Place the .exe in you \Storage Card\Programs folder. With your desktop PC, navigate to \Windows Mobile Device\My Device\Storage Card\Programs & right click on the exe file. Select create shortcut. Move the shortcut to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs using desktop pc.
Voilla! you are done, go check Programs & it's there.

this is the steps i usually take when entering in a reg file. I use resco explorer for all this. I double click. Then I make sure I close resco through the menu exit and not the X button. Then I continue to play around with my phone for a while opening up menus and stuff. Then I soft reset. Doing these steps, I for sure get my stuff to work. There might be some unnecessary steps I take, but I end up with what I want. Many people have trouble keeping their registry stuff to stick. The steps I take, I never worry about that.

Thanks for the tip. Was not aware you could make shortcuts this way. Running from the card appeals because the .exe will still be there after reflashing a new ROM and I will only need to move/copy the shortcut. Being a newb I have been somewhat reluctant to run apps from the card but I am gathering that is is a quite an acceptable thing to do.

Is there a way to place registry keys inside a CAB so that they will get imported when the CAB is launched? Whilst the above DotFred association method works a treat for me with ".reg" files I would like to find a standalone method to import registry info. So that I can pass a single file to someone else and without any extra config they can import the contents into their registy.

definitely. There are a lot of cab creators where you can just enter in your reg key and will create your cab. Someone recommended me this program. I really like it.

Thanks for the link thomasster. Does the job well. Probaly an overkill (and therefore overpriced for what I need), but I got it to work OK. Also from using it, I learnt that the process simply converts the registry keys to provxml. So now I am looking to manaully create the "_setup.xml" and then use iexpress.exe in Vista to create the CABs.

Is there a way to undo changes made by import .reg file?
I imported a reg file using DotFredd's Taskmanager. Now I want to undo it? Is it possible? How?
Thanks

HTC Touch Diamond -Installing PHM Reg Editor

I recently got an HTC Touch Diamond and am finding it to be frustratingly slow! Luckily, I found this forum, but I'm having issues getting started with the tweaks.
I've tried installing PHM registry editor, and although there are several posts here that state it should work fine on the diamond I cannot get it to install. With my phone hooked up to my PC and activesync running I install PHM to my PC just fine, but when the activesync install screen pops up, it does not list PHM as a program to install to my phone...thus indicating that it is not a compatible program. I am using the pocket PC version of PHM found here:
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
What gives?

You could download the cab installer which you can find in the dropdown list on the download page. Select "Pocket PC 2002.2003 (ARM/PXA)" and copy the file to your phone. Then start explorer on your phone. Browse to the installer and execute by clicking on it.

That worked perfectly. Thank you!

Thx, going to use it too

Opera Mobile opening cab files as text

I have this problem with Opera Mobile 9.5 where I try to download a cab file to install on my phone but it instead opens the cab file as text. There isn't a "Save file as" option in the menus so how can I download the cab file without opening it as text?

Type in opera:config and check through the settings, or you could reinstall.

Guys I am having this problem also and need to fix it.
The thing is when I type :config in Opera and try to log into settings nothing happens. Please how can I remove that **** Opera off my phone?????????
Need to install all the cabs that I need...
Any help would be appreciated, thanks

I have never had any problem downloading anything with Opera... Actually, I tend to try and use Opera to download with because it's download manager works so well.
It sounds like you have a setting off somewhere in your phone... probably with Opera, assuming you can download with IE just fine.
Also, you want to type in the address bar "opera:config" without the quotation marks, and that is where you will find the advanced settings that control downloads with Opera.
As well, maybe try downloading a different version of Opera? I like this one:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/ywydu3iczxn/WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9-build_15954_WWE_QVGA.CAB

That is not what I mean.
I downloaded files throught my PC, hooked Omnia to it and copied the files to the phone's SDcard.
The cab files of all progs are "branded" Opera. meaning if you want to run them, they open through Opera and not execute style. Got it?

Ah, ok... I don't think that is the same problem they were having... I don't know what the solution to that would be, since a .cab file is an .exe file written to run a PPC, thus when you click on it, it should run itself without any other program opening it...
I would say try downloading the cab files directly on to your phone with the built in browser, save them to your memory card of course...
But if you are copying a .cab file on to your phone, and using file explorer to launch it, there is no reason it shouldn't work, it is a self executing file that doesn't look for a mother program to run it... Unless somehow you have managed to change them so that they try and open with Opera, either through your phone settings or properties of the cab itself type thing.

I think I have no choice but to disable or uninstall Opera in some way.
If someone can help me to do this, I think I can manage with the cab files then...

I don't think that will fix your problem. Those files will still be linked to Opera. And if Opera is part of your ROM, you can't uninstall it... actually even if you loaded it yourself, unless you did one of the uninstallable versions, it can't be uninstalled...
At this point, it would help if you gave more information:
What, if any mods, you have done to your phone?
What program did you use to copy the files to the SD card?
Where did you get the cab files?
Heck, what cab files are they?

These mods:
http://www.samsung-omnia.org/how-to/howwhatwherewhichwhywhen/
And the cab files are related to advanced configuration tools, Omnia patched dialler, SPB mobile shell and a couple others.

You might want to ask that forum for assitance? It looks like they are pretty dedicated to the Omnia, which most everyone here does not have one. This forum is for the HTC Kaiser specifically, and the site as a whole is dedicated to HTC devices. Perhaps post in the general section of this site, but I think you will have better luck with the omnia site you got all of your cabs from.
In general, without having screen shots, or hands on knowledge of the cab files you are trying to use, about all I can say(and anybody really) in this forum is that there is something corrupt with the .cab files or your file explorer is corrupted. I would bet the .cab files are corrupted, and that somewhere along the way you did something wrong. Maybe you skipped a step in the whole process, and Opera is coming up not because they are tagged to run through Opera, but because it is suggesting to search for something using your default browser.
It really is hard to say, but I would suggest asking that forum for some support. Also, I would flat out re-download all the cabs straight to your phone from the site, not your computer. This will make sure you don't have any issues with the sync process. As well, save them to the root of you SD card, in other words not in a folder.

Sometime i got this problem but it seem it happen when the page is not fully loaded

Do you open cab files through Opera?

Open link in new tab
Hi
I have also had this problem with opera version 9.5.16277. I have found a couple of work arounds:
1) Tap and hold on the link and then select "Open in new tab"
2) Tap and hold on the link and select "Copy link location". Then manually open a new tab and paste the address into the address bar.
I have found that if 1) above does not work 2) will.
Cheers

Sometimes it's the website itself.
For example, for Josh's Test ROM, if we click directly (even on PC) on the link, it'll open the zip file on the page. I had to 'right-click' and 'save the link as' to save the file.
It might be some code on the page ..

Input the two .reg files to the registry, should just solve the problem. You can use any regiedit tools or taskmgr.exe or total command to do it. If don't know how, please search some info first.

The above is my answer to origional poster of this thread.
But since this thread is already goes to off-topic, I would also write my comments:
Opera opens compressed file as text on page, is a big bug for opera software, it happens to both its mobile and desktop vdersions. But latest releases of Opera Mobile seems have some progress on this issue, although still can not completely avoid it.

Call history shortcut...?

Hello all,
I need to know if I can add a Call history icon/shortcut to my Viva, wm6.5 (Rom: Evo 2.5A)
I searched here on XDA and on Google, and found alot of solutions that only includes TouchFlo 3D, but not 2D.
So, anyone has any idea how can such solutions be possible for Manila 2D under WM 6.5 ??

I already found the solution!
Simply download the attached file and extract it, copy callhistory.exe to anywhere in your device (ex. on Widnows folder, or My Documents)
I copied it to My Documents in my case, just not to wait for Windows folder to load
Then use Manila 2D Config tool, M2DC (Just search M2DC on the forum to download it if you don't already have it)
Use M2DC to create assign one of the softkeys (either the left or the right one) to the new callhistory.exe
Go to Softkeys tab in M2DC, browse to the folder where you copied callhistory.exe into, and select the file, choose a name for your shortcut, then clikc apply. And that's it.
I replaced the left softkey, the one was previously assigned to Phone, to be my new call history shortcut

It's not to be installed, just move it to your phone, and run it from there (not from your PC)
It'll open the call history

[Q] TouchFLO 3D Custom Programs (not installed by cab)

I'm trying to add a .exe to my list of programs on the programs tab of TouchFLO 3D (What a mouthful )
I haven't installed it officially so the HTC detects it (It was just a .exe drag-and-drop to the SD card)
So how do I make TouchFLO 3D detect it so I can add it to my programs list of the programs tab or how can I manually add it? I'm not a noob - I am familiar with registry editing, scripting and so on Thanks.

Bump? Still need help

Create a Start menu link with file explorer (extension installed) and then add it to touchflo program list

Thanks alot for the reply.
It didn't really help though. I tried going to Settings > Menus and it came up with basically the same list of programs as TouchFLO did. I tried selecting file explorer and adding it to my menu, which then shows on the TouchFLO list for adding - But I can't add custom programs because they're not officially installed by cabs (I just dragged the .exe over as said in my previous post)

Bump...
