I have seen how to change the size of txt in a sms on Crossbow, but how do I edit the registry? I went to the Universal registry page but there was a tool only cabs or advice on which line to amend.
You need to install a registry editor app. There are a few about. TotalCommander is one. phmRegEdit another and I think there's one in the skbTools. Here's a good roundup:

I unlocked and flashed my T-Mo Dash with the new HTC WM6. I set all the regional stuff to US English, but something's not quite right with the keyboard.
The '@' symbol key creates a kind of cursivy 'L', I believe it's a British Pound symbol, but I'm not 100% sure. The '=' key creates a sort of capital C with a equal sign through the middle of it.
I use the '@' key a lot, and I can get that symbol now with the '&' key (for which there is no longer a key).
I checked currency settings, regional settings, etc -- and it all looks right, maybe I missed something -- or -- maybe I need to find a registry setting for key mapping?
Place the attached text file into your \Windows\ directory.
Thanks -- tried, but can't seem to delete or rename the original. Tried unselecting the 'read-only' status in the file properties, but it wouldn't allow it. My device is application unlocked...
Hmmm...mine is listed as et9.Excalibur.407.kmap.txt instead of et9.Excalibur.409.kmap.txt and I cannot delete or rename or copy over it either.
edit: I should note that I installed the German rom
Ok, here is how I fixed it with mine.
use regedit and go to:
HKLM/Software/Tegic/eT9/IME/KeyboardLayouFiles and change value 07FF to 0409 from the 0407 in there.
Conceivably you can name the map file posted above to anything and change its value in that key.

Glad you worked it out, but that's not what's going on with my device -- I've looked at both .txt files and the one posted by OutPhase has the correct mappings -- just can't use it (yet)...

change HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD\CurLang to 1033 (Dec) 0409 (Hex)
use a reg editor to move the attached file into \Windows
reboot
I've already made the CurLang change in the registry, it 'took', but no change in my keyboard mapping.
I've no idea how to 'use a reg editor to move the attached file'... I'm using the registry editor that comes with Resco File Explorer, see nothing in it for file-move operations -- something I don't ever recall as being part of any registry editor, mobile or PC-based. Thanks for trying though...

I didn't say use the Registry editor to move it. Use the normal Resco Explorer to move it. It'll ask to overwrite the existing file.
Thanks, it worked. Not sure why, but I could copy/move and overwrite it with Resco Explorer, but not rename/delete it. It's all working now, thanks!!!

No, you didn't -- Johnny Lavah said it (as was quoted in my reply). What you said worked -- thanks again.

another solution
There was already an "eT9.Excalibur.0409.text" in windows that was in the UK English version of the keyboard. I renamed the attached US version as below and put that in the windows directory. Then I mapped the registry to it.
I like Outphase's solution better -- no registry edit required, once he explained to just copy the file over it's all good now. Thanks though.

keyboard layout files
Hi all
My device is french, but I'd like to use the German keyboard layout.
I can change the contact search keyboard layout but not the layout that's active when writing messages.
As I understand from the above thread, I need the german layout file, eT9.Excalibur.0407.kmap.txt. Can anyone provide me with that one? I don't see a single reference to it.
Any other hints?
Thank you, Michael
anyone know how to setup the # butting to changes your profile to vibrate and visversa? (worked on the t-mobile wm6 rom)
I miss that one too -- it's actually a part of all TMobile WM ROMs -- kinda handy, would be great to have that back!

Thank you. I tried outphase's solution and it works perfectly. Didn't have to edit the registry at all.

Yeah there must be a registry setting some where that enables it. it's not t-mobile dash phone's only. I got a s621 (Rogers) and it worked with all the t-moble ROMs. hopefully somone will figure it out.
where is the \windows dir and how can i go there?
I have read about a lot of reg hacks that can be done. What reg editor is everyone using?
TIA.
Google MobileRegistryEditor if you want to do it from your computer, otherwise Resco [monies] or Total Commander [free] on your phone.
Go here and download regeditSTG

Its the one signed by HTC.
Thanks for the responses.
I'm looking for a good editor (free preferred) that would run on the PPC. Word is fine for many things but I don't want to be restricted to the .doc, .txt etc file types (specifically I want easy access to skin.xml files for editing on the PPC).
Can you suggest a good editor? I'm having NO luck today searching for one. I was directed to PPC_Edit and it works fine EXCEPT that it will not browse outside the predefined file structure to where I saved the Skin.xml file
Or how do you change Word to see all file types?
Thanks,
NK
Do you mean a text editor. If so, you might look into Pocket Notepad, found at http://tillanosoft.com/ce/pnotepad.html. To see more files than the normal file dialogue box gives you (although it won't work with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint), look for the file dialogue changer. You need to have "gsgetfile.dll" in the Windows directory for it to work.
PocketNotepad did not work for me :-( And it does allow browsing all file structures.
The "DEL" anf Backspace do not work correctly on my PPC (WM 6 Maglite version on Axim X50V).
NK
UPDATE: I rebooted the PPC and it works now. Wow ... self correcting software ...Cool
You could always connect it to a PC and use a PC editor to edit.
Alan
CKE (http://www.animaniak.com/cke/cke_main.asp) is the best text editor I have found for the PPC. It has syntax highlighting and many other useful features. Give it a go.
Cheers

Hi all
i like to play with morstcript to personnalize my Rhodium..
to import the lnk of my manila (i use maxmanil with 20 lnk), i use that :
RunWait( "FS_TaskMgr.exe", "\App\Rom\Perso\Kwanice_Manila.reg" )
i add that to be sure there is no pb with htc sense
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense", "Enabled","0")
RedrawToday
and
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense", "Enabled","1")
RedrawToday
but i have always problem.. the shortcut on the home tab are not good...sometime yes sometime no..
can you explain why?
(if i use a .cab with only the registry value, it seems to work fine...)???
thanks for your help
no idea?
When you want to import .reg? you use mortscript? or a .cab file?
Or .xml files?
Since you're relying on a third party app to actually import the reg file maybe the problem isn't Mortscript but the app your script calls. You could always try another registry editor to import the file.
Also I think this can be done using Mortscript alone (with no 3rd party apps). You could try to make a registry import script using just Mortscript (a combination of If, ReadFile/ReadLine, ForEach, Split/Part/Replace, RegWrite and a couple of tricks should do it). reg files are actually text files so if needed you could always change the file it to make it easier for Mortscript to import.

yes good idea
but i have a lot of registry... it's easier to import reg if not i need to write all .reg line one by one...little boring..
or maybe there is another way to do that more simple? (i'm not an expert with mortscript^^)
but thanks for your help
You wouldn't write each registry entry. A script can be done to do all that work: read the reg file, parse each line (root, key/subkey, name/value, type), convert the text to Mortscript syntax and write it to the registry. But it would be a somewhat complex script and would take more time to write than writing 20 reg keys...

I installed this tweak and it did what it said it would, but I need to add more apps to the "whitelist." Is there an actual file that can be edited to do this, and if so, where is it and what is it called? If all this cab does is modify the registry, what keys did it modify?
extract the cab file and use a notepad like editor to open up the files from the cab - there u can see what it edits in the registry (as i remember there is existing some keys in the registry for what you want - dont ask me where - i cannot remember anymore)
Yeah, I just downloaded WinCE Cab Manager and used it for something similar. Thanks.
here is my list i always use... i got it off xda somewhere and added a few things.
