i found some registry mods in wiki to get the BA to display first name last name in contacts but it says that you need to have cproghook installed.what is that and where can i get it?i tried a search in the forums but cant seem to shed any light on my query.is there someone who could lead me to the right direction?[/i]
I too would like this information and the thread starter is one up on me since I did not know there was a Wiki for this subject.
BTW - I am on MW5 if that matters [knowing my luck it will].
anyone?
cproghook has something to do with the phone application, in the Thread "a new button to quick dial" Mamaich gave us a little app that gives you a contacts button in the empty button in the dialer interface. You best look in that thread for some info on cproghook, since that has to do with some first/last name as well, but only in that little app! perhaps you have used it in the past and deleted it and the registry is still pointing to that program? For changing the order of contacts in the default contacts program, have a look around at this forum, I posted the link to 4 cab files somewhere that gave you the ability to choose how to display contacts. just search for "first name", "last name", "company name".
hey guys, as you know, the left soft key is mapped for the calender, and i had no issue with it. i used the program in dutty's #7 rom to change it to something else (htc action button).. however, i decided to change it back to calender, and now every time i try to open the calender through the left soft key i get the following error message:
"The file "HTCCalendar" cannot be opened. either it is not sined with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persisits, try reinstalling or restoring this file"
whats going on? thanks
omar
Use a registry editor and go to the following key:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Change the value of "open" from HTCCalendar.exe to calendar.exe - there is no HTC version of the calendar application, but the soft key changer seems to think there is!
Mark.
hey thanks for your help, i did what you said, and now it gives me the same error message but with Calendar instead of HTCCalendar. ha u know whats going on? thanks
Does your registry key look like this?
\windows\LSK\calendar.exe
If so, look in your LSK folder in Windows via Explorer and I'll bet you'll find it's empty. Mine was and I had the same error as you. All I did to fix it was remove the LSK\ from the registry. Soft reset and it should work, mine does.
Yeah...what he said
Sorry, I forgot to say you had to remove the "LSK" bit from the path in the registry key.....it was late and I was tired OK
Hope it's working now!
Mark.
hey guys, worked perfectly, thanks for all ur help!

I just noticed this fix doesn't stick and will be wiped out during a SR. Maybe it's something I've done wrong.
EDIT: Memmaid was causing this problem during a Quick Clean operation.
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

edit: Dont try this!! xD

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?

Please help. i've searched and searched but nothing...
I've managed to delete some items/options from my today screen. I'm using the o2 interface.
I'm missing the running programs icon from the bottom right of the screen. Plus i used to have memory and volume settings (used to be able to select normal, loud etc etc) I've noticed the whole menu is missing from the Today in Settings.
Does anyone know how i can get this all back? Somethings been deleted when i was installing regedit, but i dont know what it was.
Thanks in advance.
Ben
I dont think anybody can help ... unless experts know how to add registry entry for these 2 item with the .cab files better still ..
I only can think .. there is a program ..can extract whole wm registry out to one file then can compare others file ..and spot out the diff.
Just had a thought. if I back up my files and contacts. Then reset the phone back to factory it might reinstate whatevers missing.
Will post how I get on
Yep, that worked... factory settings and automatic o2 program reinstalled everything back as it should be
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.

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.
