How to use regedit to twaek the Diamond??

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.

read wiki about diamond tweaks there are plenty

Thanks
Thank you very much ansonr and xdaking for your feedback.

Generic app for .net utilities/tweaks/services?

Hello,
I've been wanting to write some small hacks for my TouchPro in C# and noticed a problem with it - WM has a limit of processes so writing many small apps doesn't make sense and it's not possible to register a C# library as a service.
Has anyone created an application that reads some config file and loads all DLLs defined there? It's easy to do, but I don't want to reinvent to wheel if it's already done.
Does anyone know if such a tool exists?
Thank you.

[REQ] XML builder for Raph

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
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb737254.aspx
Configuration Service Provider Reference for Windows Mobile-Based Devices
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms889539.aspx
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
DotFred's Task Manager: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
HTCustom: http://shadowmite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=2231&p=7890#p7890
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.

Idea: Getting Interop-Unlock for Lumia Devices

As a new user with less then 10 posts I'm forced to post this here. I know that this topic has to be at a different place.

In my undestanding, this changes some registry keys

So is it possible to do the steps GoodDayToDie's unlocking app does manually through the registry editor?

The registry editor that has write access rights? Since I think such isn't available on Lumia devices. I might be wrong now.

Nope, the editor isn't able to write to the registry only read...Needs the Interop Cap which in turn won't let you sideload without Interop Unlock...

The idea is a fair one, but if you read the first post of snickler's registry tools thread more carefully, you'll see it says it cannot write to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE area, and the registry key in question is in HKLM. I'm not sure what else the Interop-Unlock xap does, but this issue is already a blocker.
Until someone finds a way to properly edit that area of the registry, sadly, we're stuck with no Interop-Unlock for Nokia Lumias.

Your method is completely wrong in 2 ways.
One, the method you found is enabling other functions that you NEED interop-unlock to perform. Editing the registry is pretty much a chicken-or-egg problem. In order to edit the registry, we need Interop-unlock. In order to be Interop-unlocked, we need registry access.
Two, The registry editor only has read-access. In order to have write access it needs Interop CAP in WMAppManifest.xml which once placed, the app will refuse to deploy. A backdoor we found is that apps can be installed with Interop access if installed from the Store. First & Second-Party developers (namely Microsoft and OEMs) are the only devs able to upload InteropCAP apps to the store.
The Samsung Diagnostics tool is one exception, its an app made by Samsung but not from the Store but has registry read and write access. We used a hidden registry editor page in the app to Interop-Unlock the ATIV S. This method doesn't work on Nokia's because the method Samsung uses to edit the registry isn't available on Nokia.
One app that I've been looking into is the Preview for Developers app, if enabled, it writes an "1" (which is sort of binary for "yes") to the registry. If disabled, it writes a "0" to the registry (which is sort of binary for "no"). Looking into ways that I can reverse engineer it.
Interop = Access to the system registry and files.
Interop Unlock = Apps are now freely able to edit registry and certain system files but only if declared with Interop CAP (applies to side-loaded apps)
Interop CAP = In the WMAppManifest.xml, the app basically declares what functions it needs to use. If the CAP (declared function) is not declared in the Manifest, that function is unusable.

Gooddaytodie recently said he'd try new methods to interope unlock lumias
I have my fingers crossed

[Q] Idea about how to get values from a table

Hello!
As some could see in my other topic, I'm learning about android studio to make an app with some maths to help me with my job.
Well, in one specific case, I need to search and get values in a table, based in a reference. Its basically like the VLOOKUP/HLOOKUP function in Excel.
My doubt is the ideal way of doing that, is there any kind of table inside the android studio, like a container or something ? Or I should use a data base ?
Below is the same math, on excel, that is the base that I'm creating the app for android, in this case is a simple table, but in some cases are many values:
The attachment 001.png is the list where I select the materials Standard, and then I get the 2 values σt and σe from the table.
The attachment 002.png is the table I am looking for the values:
Sorry about this kind of question, but I'm just reading a lot, looking for tips leading me to an ideal way of doing it, but its a little hard in the beginning.
Thanks in advanced.

Conversion
Hey from your question , I undestood that you are looking for ready table to give values.
As i see you are getting values in excel.
1) There is no direct conversion table available into android studio.
2) You can use library project import if you require familiar conversion tables.
3) If in excel you make your own conversion method . apply same into Anddroid studio.
What more , share your method or query breif.

Hello,
Thanks for replying satyampv,
Actually my doubt isnt about conversion, I said about excel because I'm used to work with it. And its so easy to use vlookup there that I was wondering if would have something like it on android studio .
If I have to put some huge table in a database here on android, it's ok, I accepted that I would have to do it. But the doubt is if I really have to use a database, or if exists other way to look up for values in a table. Like you said "2) You can use library project import if you require familiar conversion tables.", is that an alternative for a database ?
Or should I just forget those "normal tables" from my mind and use SQL lite ? Because is just to look for values, just read, I don't need to write neither do any changes in the table after it's created.
Thanks in advanced, again.
