Did you guys happen to make some sort of database that has all your tweaks, hacks, upgrades for the PPC's? Or will have I to search through weeks of the forums to find them?
Im sure some one has seen this but this is the search link to the msdn website that has the definitions for many registry settings

I am new to this forum and have seen a lot of tweaks here that could improve the performance. I have a Diamond but do not know how to tweak i.e. where do I go on the phone to get into regedit mode. I know on my PC and Laptop, I have to go to 'Run' and type 'regedit' and press 'enter' to get in to the registry editor. How can I do the same on the Diamond? Pease help.
Registry editor
You need a registry editing program. There are a number of third party programs available. One of the simplest is included in _Total Commander_ a file manager which includes a registry editor. There are also a number of free standing editors, at least one of which is free. Check this forum for threads.
anson
read wiki about diamond tweaks there are plenty
Thanks
Thank you very much ansonr and xdaking for your feedback.
Hey all, how would I go around creating a cab that will remove links throughout the phone... and also remove certain registry keys which I specify? I know how to create a cab and sign it and such. I've seen many guides on how to create a CAB that will add and modify registry keys, but I haven't been able to find one that tells me how to remove registry keys.
Thanks!

Hi all
I was wondering how many people here would like to have some sort of way to build an xml which upon completion of a ROM update (which for some us are only day's apart) would change a load of settings to what we want for them
this is just a concept at the moment and i would like to work with someone or the community as a whole to produce a program to do this
the concept i have is as follows:
a simple windows exe Window which has inside it drop down menu's for all of the settings possible (cleartype/text size/regional settings/time zone/notification settings) fields (username for email/password/server addresses/screen name)
and if possible, something to allow us to drag and drop CAB file's into a window which would then also package up the cab's into a folder and spit out/generate the relevant SDCONFIG.txt file
is this at all possible? is there much interest in this?
I can go through and try to find as many of the settings possible and attempt to perhaps find the relevant registry settings even
i would really like to get the ball rolling with this, im sure it could work really well, not only on the raphael, but also on other devices perhaps
please post any interest on this project/concept here and i would really like to do something about this, im about to go and figure out the best way to even code this, however my coding knowledge is about zilch.lol!
.PROVXML files are the ideal place for last minute configuration changes. I'm just starting to explore this avenue and I've found tremendous flexibility in what one can change.
Have a look at the following information ... right from the source
Provisioning Using a ROM Configuration XML File

Configuration Service Provider Reference for Windows Mobile-Based Devices

There's also some excellent thread on XDA ... you'll have to do a bit of searching for them.
HTH,
have you looked at oemizer?
Assume this is the one you mean: http://tiermann.net
... takes the fun out of doing this the "manual way"
Cheers,
I don't use it personally. I came across it when I was learning with my M3100 (Hermes) and it provided a few useful insights at the time when I disected what it had created. I found a few problems and don't use it, but it seems like a similar attempt to what the OP is trying to achieve.
many thanks for the replies
im just looking into the oemizer that was posted and see how that works, however, i get the impression that its for rom cooking
Hi duke_stix,
That's where it's often used ... although, I have come across some posts about utilities that can re-initiate Provision XML files already present on the device or new ones placed on an SD card.
*EDIT* - Some examples

Cheers,
I have not seen anything that does exactly what you suggest, but things to look at that are maybe related include
Sashimi
tier-autoinstall (or something like that)
They run the files but don't create them.
You can always just export the reg values and then import them after you flash...
or use a reg to xml program to add it to SDConfig
I'm working on a new app right now that might have the potential to cover what you're asking for, but the exact features necessary to pull off at least a part of it won't be available in the first release. Keep an eye out on the D&H forum in anywhere from a week to two weeks when I post it up there.
