Hi people,
I've searched the forum before posting this question. But I couldn't find any awnser to my question:
Is there a way (by editing the registry) to change the order of the items in the menu permanently?
Thanks in advance for the help.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Start Menu -> Order

I've tried that, it won't work. The order stays exactly the same.
Hi,
I am a bit of a dumbass really.... and i need a bit of help.
I am looking for a software package to be able to remove items from the start menu and the programs list.... as i have programs i want installed but not be listed on the start menu or in the programs list.
If there isnt a software package available, then can i remove the option from within the registry?
Thanks in advance

you can edit start menu programs in settings/personal(tab)/menus
to delete shortcuts from start menu/programs folder you can delete this shortcuts in windows/start menu/programs
recent programs in start menu can't be removed. you can remove them with Advanced Config or KaiserTweak, but it requires soft reset and it removes them just for this session.
It's called File Explorer and is in programs. Somewhere..

Menu -> Tools -> Clear "SMS/MMS"
You can also use this
1) Menu -> Select messages -> (All, All Below, Several)
2) Long press delete or just press the delete

will that delete all SMS including other folders? or only in the current folder?
i'm afraid to try..
Well thanks but,
1. The option Menu--->Clear "Text Messages" delete the sms one by one.
for 2nd post reply.
I cannot find that option in my xperia, I am using the latest version of the firmware.
I was looking for some thing as we have in nokia or other sony ericsson phone.
suppose i have 300 sms in my inbox, and i want to delete all of them except 10 or 12, so what i used to do, i used to 'Mark All' and then unmark the one which i dont want to be deleted, so once they unselected i can delete all the others.
This kind of option i cannot find in xperia.
Regards
Jade

1)go to the file /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
Open it on any database editor(for example - X-plore), then go on the section settings and look for the "entitlement_check" field and change its value to 0 or default.
2)Some says also you have set your access point(apn), change apn type to - default,tether
I did it, and I can connect to my hotspot but there aren't any internet.
I had the same symptom, connect to hotspot but no internet access until I did this:

Full instruction:
How to revive Hotspot
Install the sqlite and go to Settings Storage -> settings.db -> settings
Change the field
a) entitlement_check -> 0
b) dun_apn_changeable -> 1
In the setting of apn, type apn -> default,dun,supl
Enjoy
My Cellphone model is MB886 and it is runnin android 4.1.1. I am unable to find the settings storage using the SQlite. Any ideas why ?
My problem I will again regurgigate is that whenever I turn on mobile hotspot it says you have to first make an account on ATT&T, same is the case with all other tethring.

Look for setting storage
Com.motorola.android.providers.setting
In sqlite or use root explore and go to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.setting/databases

here is my way, I've removed the annoying "S-Finder" and "Quick Connect" buttons.
you need root! I am on Lollipop stock ROM.
a) open filemanger (rootexplorer, es manager, ....)
b) go to /system
c) search "build.prop" and make a backup!!
d) open "build.prop" in text editor
e) search for "ro.product.device=klte" (maybe on your device it is not klte) and CHANGE it to "ro.product.name=zeroflteatt"
f) save the file and reboot

Hi, I'm an absolute noob to this but yes, the s finder and quick connect just take up space in my pull down notifications. I don't use them.
Are you saying i do all your mentioned steps on my phone after i root it (my device is not rooted)?
No changes

It works, he just messed it up a bit

2 after XXXlte add vzw OR att
3 for example "kltevzw"
4 profit

Great mod! Works perfect for my aussie SMG900I
Edit: I get this at every boot now. Only at boot though so not a big deal. Also my 4G Icon changed to include LTE logo as well
YesSs
work on G900H
Just gonna repeat my post from the other thread, as it might be useful for someone

Hello, this thread might be outdated but for me it was a current topic and i didn't want do open a new thread. So I just found this tutorial.
1. You need a rooted device and a Root Explorer (Make sure you have Read/Write permissions enabled.
2. Browse to the root folder from there to the system folder.
3. Make a Backup of the "build.prop" file - just in case...
4. Edit the file with a Text Editor and search for the line "ro.product.name="
5. Now if there is like for example "jfltexx" edit the name until "XXXlte" -> delete everything that's behind "lte"
6. Add "vzw" or "att" behind "lte" -> for example "jfltevzw" and save the file.
7. Now reboot and it's done!

*ALL TESTING DONE ON 900F ALEXANDRS DEVBASE BOE3 (NOT BOE5)*
*the issues I am having might be firmware dependent*
Changed mine to vzw and it worked, but.. It also changed the 4G icon to a 4GLTE icon, it changed the brightness bar so that it can't be changed while in auto mode, the wifi hotspot icon is also changed. And systemui crashes on boot and everytime I run an app in landscape mode.. The taskmanager/clear all apps icons in recents are changed to text. Gonna try changing to att now
EDIT: Tried changing to att and the 4GLTE and WiFi hotspot icons changed again. The 4GLTE icon is a new one and the hotspot icon is the same as the standard 900F icon. Also, att forces the operator name to be shown in statusbar. SystemUI crashes on boot just like with vzw BUT that's the only time it crashes, unlike vzw where SystemUI crashes in landscape mode too.
EDIT#2: So, after changing to vzw then att then vzw and then att again, att crashes in landscape mode too. I guess it's an odex/kernel issue, because I've wiped cache & dalvik but it persists.
EDIT#3: here's a screenshot of the systemUI crash because of landscape mode / rotation.
EDIT#4: vzw works perfect without any issues on Sixperience 3.0. Pic attached
Huh. I was able to remove those tiles from my quick-settings icons without doing anything fancy. Samsung gives you the option to customize those buttons by doing the following:
Settings -- Notification Panel
scroll down to the "active buttons" panel, select the button you don't want to see and hold it down. Then drag it down to the "available buttons" section, and it will no longer be on your quick setttings panel.
You can also add/remove other buttons, and re-arrange them to your liking.

so are these not the same buttons on the pull-down notification panel?
he even posted a screen shot of the quick toggle buttons on the pull-down notification menu, which is what I was referring to.

Ok, is it untouched stock, odexed/deodexed, custom (maybe alexandr?), etc?
When do you SystemUI fc? What are you doing when it fc's?
Attached Verizon's 4G icon
Fully stock, system UI FC only on boot, that is annoying tho
