Registry tweak not working - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Hi Folks,
I tried the following registry tweaks from the Wiki - I got the first bit to work (i.e. displaying the network operator in the today screen), but the second part (opening Comm manager when clicking on the plugin) doesn't seem to work.
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Terry
Show Network Operator Name in today screen
Restoring Today Item: WiFi, BT and Phone Connection Status
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]Create "Wireless" use Key
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:00000000
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Enable clicking on the today plugin above open Comm Manager
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr]Create key "Redirect"
"Redirect"= "\Windows\CommManager.exe"

Ok Folks - got it.
This bit is misleading
-----------------------------------------------------------------
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr]Create key "Redirect"
"Redirect"= "\Windows\CommManager.exe"
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Should read
----------------------------------------------------------------
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr]Create String Value

Wireless Plugin on the today opening Comm Manager

For who it has installed the Wireless Plugin on the today (visualizes Operator + Wireless + Bluetooth) is the possibility to render it to the touch of the pen opening therefore the shielded one of Comm Manager sensitive.
PROCEDURE:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ ControlPanel \ WrlsMgr
Redirect= "\ Windows \ CommManager.exe"
This is a nice one.
Now I can remove the CommManager icon from the screen.

hi
thanks for the post, i used my registry editor and found the key you are referencing above but i do not see the line you have there? i assume this needs to be added? can you give a little more detailed explanation on adding this registry line?
thanks in advance
Hi,
I've made a CAB file for this one.
No files will be installed just some registry changes to make it visible and "tap able" on the today screen .
After installation you will have to go to Settings – Today and activate “Wireless” under the items tab to activate it.
Cheers,
Drifter
worked like a charm

thanks again
If you add a dword named "Selectable" with a value of 1 to the wireless today item (and soft reset) you can even select it using the dpad.
Yeeh, now we can actualy *use* the Wireless today plugin.

How to Enable Cleartype in the Dopod C730?

Hi there,
----------------------
Well, after searching a little more on the Web I found it, and would like to share the method with you (since I couldn't find it here).
You need to create the ClearType key unde HKLM\System\GDI and under it create a new DWORD named Quality with a value of 4 (some sites say to use 1, I didn't try it). Reboot and voila, ClearType for you. It works under WM5 and WM6.
To disable it again just remove the ClearType key.
I Hope it helps.
----------------------
I managed to change the system font from the Nina (wich I don't like) to Segue UI, but I cannot find an option or registry key that allow me to enable Cleartype.
It works perfectly inside applications that manage this (mobipocket reader for example) but not in the User Interface and other applications.
Thanks agains,

Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc Last Update 22/7/09

Hi all,
Special thanks to Faria for helping keep this up to date and correctly formatted.
Since the forum is becoming more and more active with new (Rhodium) users joining us on a daily basis, I thought it would benefit all if I started a thread to collect all the current and future tweaks and enhancements for our Rhodiums.
I'll update the Wiki weekly with any that are posted in this thread.
Review videos and Info Here (Thanks to Quarintus)
Thanks to all contributors
Please keep the thread clean and pure for this purpose, I don't want to be digging through comments to find the enhancements.
Word of warning the HDTweak app does work for a lot of settings on the Rhodium, however there are reports that some functions can cause your device to not boot or loose sounds............. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. I will not provide a link to it here, as it won't be long before we have our own Rhodium Tweak app.

logfile name must be empty
old logfile name must be empty
maximum size of logfile must be 0
delete the files :
\windows\GPSLogFile.txt and \windows\GPSLogFileBack.txt
With those changes car usage will be quite perfect
B. Then edit registry

Drivers\GpsOneDevice\PollInterval -> 100 (default is 1000)
Drivers\InputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
Drivers\OutputBufferSize -> 512 (default is 4096)
Drivers\SleepOnNoData -> 100 (default is 1000)
Multiplexer\MaxBufferSize -> 512 (by default not present, you have to create it)
With those tweaks pedestrian usage will be much better but not perfect.

Bluetooth: Receive files without entering passkey(Thanks Jzhyok)
By default Bluetooth settings, when a device which is not on your paired devices list is going to send you a file by BT OBEX Push, the BT manager requires a passkey that is annoying and useless. Yet, you can't disable this in the normal control panel.
So, here is the solution:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Servi ces\0002]
"Encryption"=dword:00000000
"Authorization"=dword:00000000
"Encryption"
0: No passkey is needed.
1(def): Requires passkey if the file is sending by devices NOT in the paired list.
"Authorization":
0: Receive all files automatically without asking.
1(def): Ask for each file if you wanna receive(you have to choose whether to receive or not).

To enable 2 way recording just change:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002
and you'll be able to record with any software.
If you want to use WM6 native recording (WAW only, on \my documents\notes, manual activation: during a call hit "record" on call menu) create:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\AudioRecording]"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Voice]"EnableCallRecordMenuItem"=dword:00000001"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
Don't forget to turn off (and on again ) the device after you modify/create the keys.

Any way to edit the stereo bluetooth settings? I used to use Advanced Config for that, but it doesn't seem to work for the Touch Pro 2. Probably because of the new bluetooth stack.

Just as a warning, I'm not sure what I did but after messing around with some settings, everytime I made or received a call and it connected, I could not hear the other party and vice versa. Fixed this by setting all the phone volume settings in HDtweak back to default and uninstalling HD tweak - I later reinstalled it but didn't touch the volume settings and it works fine now.
Don't know what I messed with but becareful as something caused my call functions to stop working properly.
I had to do hard reset after using some HDTweak features - system didnt boot - got stucked on green loading screen. So watch out. I have no idea which specific feature caused that.
Change Program Launcher Read Only Shortcuts
to free up the start menu icons that are there by default and not removable you need to change

HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/2/IsReadOnly
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/3/IsReadOnly
Change this value from 1 to a 0 and you can then edit their shortcuts.

got a quick question wondering if any1 knows the solution
when you go thru the tf3d menu and you get to the messages tab it shows the last text you've recieved
is there a way to turn this off, i.e it not showing the last text recieved but a plain icon or something else

In relation to this, does anyone know how to decrease the time limit for when the new sms icon dissapears?
IE: I noticed if I get a new message it shows a (1) next to the message icon. I flip to it, read it quick and flip out. the (1) remains there unless I leave the message screen on for a few seconds before moving on, problem is I'm used to reading messages alot quicker than that.
or at least I believe that's what causing it.
Bluetooth: Receive files without entering passkey
By default Bluetooth settings, when a device which is not on your paired devices list is going to send you a file by BT OBEX Push, the BT manager requires a passkey that is annoying and useless. Yet, you can't disable this in the normal control panel.
So, here is the solution:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Servi ces\0002]
"Encryption"=dword:00000000
"Authorization"=dword:00000000
"Encryption"
0: No passkey is needed.
1(def): Requires passkey if the file is sending by devices NOT in the paired list.
"Authorization":
0: Receive all files automatically without asking.
1(def): Ask for each file if you wanna receive(you have to choose whether to receive or not).
Does anyone know which is the latest version of Advanced Config and where can I find it.
Searching the forum, gave me some results, but I don't know if the versions I found are compatible with Rhodium or not...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Advanced Config Tool

A simple Question

Hi, I Got my T-Mo TP2 the other day (used to have a x7501) and there is one thing that's driving me CRAZY. When TF3D is enabled how do you change the soft keys to something else and rename them? I tried using SK-tools but that didn't work either. When I go to "setting,personal, Menus, buttons" the only one listed is the "Send" button in the list. Is there a reg hack to fix this?
Also PBar will not work with TF3d?? Thanks...Tj
Install Advanced Config. Under Menu>More Settings>Key Mapping, you can change the softkeys from here
To get it, search!!
Hmm Ok I did that and it still opens the Camera on left soft key and People on the right one...I also tried this with SK Tools. For some reason after TF3D starts it goes to the default soft keys, Maybe it has something to do with it being a T-mo phone?...Tj
did you try a soft reset? It worked for me, may becuase I've got the WWE...

To Modify left/right home softkeys in Manilla (Touch Flow 3D) you can edit the Registry as follows.
DEFAULT: All Fields Blank.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
The Left key keys are as follows (I've setup to Opera):
HomeLSKText = Web
HomeLSKPath = \windows\Opera Browser.lnk
(I've left my right key default for the moment - i.e. blank which will default to camera.)
The right key registry keys are as follows:
HomeRSKText
HomeRSKPath
After you have finished do a Soft Reset - (no need for 8,000 SR )
Enjoy!
Have any Idea how to add HTC's Program List as a softkey? I don't like the launcher but I like the list. I'd rather get rid of the programs tab and just launch the programs list from the home page.

After finally managing to get rid of my horrid vodafone theme, I've noticed that the soft keys have changed from All People/Internet to Phone/Camera.
The camera one is super annoying as I'm always pressing it by accident, using the hack above I have managed to change the right key back to internet, but I'm struggling with the left key.
Can someone tell me what the HomeLSKPath needs to be to bring up 'All People'

HI,
Newbie here...just got my TP2 last week. If I want to swith the Left soft key to Contacts, what to i write n HOMELSKPATH= . Cant see to get it to work...thanks in advance..
KL
For those looking for Contacts/All People in the link.
Can't test this, as I'm using Finger-Friendly-Friends as my contact manager, but.....
To get the contacts application try the following in the path:
\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk
If you have "Contacts" in your start menu then this should work.
If you don't have "Contacts" in your start menu then:
Temperorly put it there
Copy the file (\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk) to your PC
Edit it with notepad (or similar).
Use the path that you see in this file.
You can now remove "Contacts" from your start menu again.
Hope this helps.
I hate the camera softkey being there also. I hit it by mistake all the time. I would like it to be Opera too I think and the all contacts can stay on the right.. I don't know what I am doing but I may try to edit mine. I am new to all this.. I have Total Commander is that how I get to my registry to modify it?
i too need assistance w/ remapping the camera softkey...i dont know why they would have made that a default location for a business phone...
Some problem..

Hey,
I tried at first just changing the name of the softkeys and by that it stopped function. and after locking the phone it goes back to default, and i need to switch to other screen (ie contacts/calender etc) and when i am back to home it returns to whatever i changed it to.
any idea why?

TouchFLO 3D Can't change home softkey... bug?

Has anyone been successful with this? No amount of hacking is allowing me to change the soft key for the touchflo 3d home page section...
I have used Advance Config, TouchFlo Detacher and Registry editing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKText = Text on softkey
HomeLSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
My result:
The text changes but the button will not launch program.
Search for a way to have it work leads me to the same result. could it be the version of manila?
my touch pro 2 is sprint version. I read one other forum where a tmobile version could not get this working either with my same result.
any info would be helpful. thanks
I used only the Advance Config
it works fine with me
Since I just cleared my storage (cause I manage to **** up the touch flo and have two settings and no calendar tab), I will try advance config first without touching the registry.
Ok I just realized Advanced Config does not remap the softkey for the TouchFLO 3D shell. It remaps the regular today screen's softkey. Unless I'm doing something wrong, here's what I did.
1. open advance config
2. press menu (right soft key)
3. clicked "more settings"
4. clicked "key mapping"
5. key mapping configuration for path and text shows up, did the changes.
of course since this only remaps the regular screen's softkey, the change does not show on the touch flo 3d home page soft key (where camera is).
I had a similar issue trying to set up TFDetacher and my Sprint TP2. I ended up hard resetting because it was jacked up. I haven't had a chance to try to fix yet.
I had the same issue, but only with the left softkey. Till now I found no solution.

HomeLSKText - Changes Text on the left softkey
HomeRSKText - Changes Text on the right softkey
HomeLSKPath - Doesn't appear to do anything!
HomeRSKPath - Changes application launched by LEFT softkey (note - that is NOT a typo!)
i.e - it's easy to change the left softkey on the Manilla home page, but so far I've not found out how to change the right softkey - though I've seen screen caps here that show it changed, so it is clearly possible.

On the sprint version there is no fix as of yet you can change the name on the key, but the activation is still contacts, this is with reg edits and programs i have tried.
Keyswop - changes the phone or Lock softkey.... still trying to find something to change the Touchflo 3d Icons so I can attach different movie players and such to the interface though.

yes, that was my other ultimate goal was to make those other touchflo tabs into buttons rather then 'tabs', that opened programs. personally I don't want ANY tabs, and just keep the touchflo on the home page, but disabling the tabs also disable their overlay features (hence loading from quick programs doesn't load the touchflo version like calendars).
Think the answer for remapping the soft keys in Manila TF3d home are as follows (using windows calendar as an example):
Within the registry.
1) HKLM\software\HTC\Manila
Within that folder see if the following string exists and change the value - if it doesn't then create it:
Value Name "HomeLSKArguments "
Value Data "-manila off"
(without the quotes)
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKPath"
Value Data "\windows\calendar.exe"
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKText"
Value Data "Calendar"
(Don't enter the quotes above)
This works for me and remaps the left soft key to open the normal windows calendar program. Also works with Right Soft Key simply by changing LSK to RSK - (got my RSK taking me straight to Comm Manager)
Good luck

thanks for the input. at least now I know the arguments path is probably important. However, it still does not work. same results, text changes, but does not operate. =(
nope did not work 4 me, maybe we can have other sprint users try this out to see if they are successful.Are you sure this is step by step in how you accomplished this?
I think I may have figured it out or at least am on to something...
I remapped my LEFT softkey to open Windows Media Player.
HomeLSKArguments:
HomeLSKPath:
HomeLSKText:Media Player
HomeRSKArguments:
HomeRSKPath:\Windows\wmplayer.exe
HomeRSKText
I have a brand new Sprint TP2.

I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere
yeah the left key can be re-mapped, its the right key that activates contacts and has yet to be changed.

Ahh bummer. I though I figured something out.
But just to be clear:
Only Sprint customers are having problems with remapping the softkeys, and it's only the right softkey.
The Verizon Touch Pro2 doesn't have to reverse the RSK/LSK paths AND can remap the RSK.
Maybe someone should re-title this as a Sprint only problem?
I've also read some tmoble have this problem too.
just curious, what version of manila do people have? (listed in the same registry location).
mine is 2.1.38416.1 and I am with Sprint.
@ dshosu: idk about tmobile but sprint versions has this issue, verizon's dont.
@ tonefour: i have the same manila version.
Mine is exactly the same, I just got mine yesterday from Sprint (2.1.38416.1)
