[GUIDE] How to configure VoIP/SIP client in WM6.

Here is an example of VoIP provisioning for WM6.
Claims that it does not work have been greatly exaggerated.
Actually, it works quite well for me (test done a Wizard based on a modified Orwell ROM).
Check if the VoIP is support is present in your ROM, as some cooks have removed them from the ROM.
so look for the Internet Calling today item as well as for the following files from the packages VoIP and VoIPOS in the \Windows directory:
[*]ipdialplan.xml
[*]dnsapi.dll
[*]voipphonecanvas.dll
[*]rtcdll.dll
If you don't have Internet Calling support in your ROM, complain to your favorite cook, not me.
Internet Calling is an integral part of WM6 and should not be removed.
For the HTC Wizard, the Orwell1984, the PDAViet ROMs, MB ROM and mUn_aRTM_10_2_0_8_WWE have the necessary modules.
For other devices, try it for yourself, as I don't know the specifics of the ROMs..
Ok. Let' go to the setup on how to do it.
Simple: 1-2-3 steps.
you will have to create a _setup.xml file with your provisioning information, any text editor will do, use the attached sample as a baseline.
run the following command: cabarc N myVoIPsettings.cab _setup.xml
get your newly created .cab file on the WM6 PPC and run it.
Note: if you don't have cabarc, you can get it from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/198038
Voilà! You might have to turn on your Wifi (it does not work over GPRS/EDGE)
and select "Whenever Available" as an option in Phone/Menu/Options/Internet or Settings/Phone/Internet.
Soon, you will be connected to your preferred VoIP provider...
As sample of the _setup.xml file is attached as _setup.xml.txt.
You can also see its content in the following section.
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="VoIP">
<parm name="SIPSettings"
value="<provision key='1232ab01' name='_sip_provider_name_'>
<provider name='_sip_provider_name_' />
<user account='_account_' password='_password_'
uri='sip:[email protected]_host.com_'
allowedauth='digest'/>
<sipsrv addr='_sip_proxy.com_' protocol='UDP' role='proxy'>
<session party='First' type='pc2pc' />
<session party='First' type='pc2ph' />
</sipsrv>
<sipsrv addr='_sip_registrar.com_' protocol='UDP' role='registrar'/>
</provision>" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
So get the attached _setup.xml.txt and do the following modifications:
rename _setup.xml.txt to _setup.txt (not obvious to every one according to the comments in this thread),
replace _sip_provider_name_ by your provider name,
_account_ and _password_ by your user name and password,
sip:[email protected]_host.com_ should be your SIP address,
_sip_proxy.com_ and _sip_registrar.com_ are your SIP proxy and registrar,
sometimes it's the same thing as your sip_host.com.
Sometimes not. It depends on your provider.
save the file as _setup.xml and run the cabarc N voip.cab _setup.xml
transfer the cab on the PPC and run it!
How to check your installation?
-
If the provisioning worked you should find a Prov0SIPSettings under the directory \Windows\System\VoIP.
Creation date and time should match the instant when you ran your .cab file.
If you don't find one, that means that you have a syntax error in your _setup.xml file.
To demonstrate the process, you can use my attached file without any modification.
It will create Prov0SIPSettings file, but nothing will work with the dummy settings of my sample file, of course .
To activate Internet Calling over 3G (thanks Sleuth255 & Golfman),
go to the HKLM\Comm\RTC\AdapterTypes with a registry editor (like Total Commander),
now delete both the "1" and the "2" values that are here,
next reset your device and Internet calling will connect over the data connection for your phoneservice.
If you need to re-apply different settings (if you changed your .xml file and .cab),
you will have to delete first the Prov0SIPSettings file under \Windows\System\VoIP
prior re-applying your new .CAB file. Otherwise, your new settings will be ignored.
Let me know how you do on this.
Enjoy!
--eluth, the comparison Guy.

One additional information, if you start dialing.
You probably will have to customize the ipdialplan.xml based on your region & VoIP provider requirements, in order to have the proper phone numbers dials.
The default one assumes a US SIP proxy in 425...
Cheers.
--eluth.

incase those files you have listed doesnot exist, what is the way of getting them. Can you arrange a cab or something?

I'm missing the files too and which program do i need to run the "cabarc" command?

I amended the post to point to where to download cabarc.
The link is http://support.microsoft.com/kb/198038
You can also just google for cabarc and you will find it.
As far as the ROM itself is concerned, if you don't have "Internet Calling" on your today screen and cannot enable it, I'm sorry. Please complain to your cook or use another ROM that has it. See my amended initial post for details.
Regards,
--eluth.

Wow I have been waiting for ages for this! We use an Asterisk SIP at work and would love to do away with my other softphones... A few (maybe) silly questions:
1) edited replied above
2) ipdialplan, can you include an example?
3)When you say "if you start dialing" do you mean just dialing with the standard Phone application?

Nearly there.......
I followed eluth's instructions and I'm nearly there..... I need a SIP server now
I installed the cab I created with some dummy settings and I can see the Wizard attempt to register with the SIP server address I have added to the _setup.xml file. The 'Internet Calling' today plugin now says 'Searching...' whilst it attempts to register with the SIP server, after it times out it now says 'No Service'.
Excellent. I will take a look at what files and registry settings are created so I can include this in my own ROM
Andy

I've installed the WM6 SIP Cab from the FTP (ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/WMXL_Support_Files/WM6VoIP.CAB)
but the files in the windows dir are still missing.

Eluth you rock!
Have it working on mu Universal with Helmi rom + VOIP cab file. If I am on WiFi with Voip set to whenever available, my phone provider is no longer Orange but my SIP server! I think there might be some pissed off telcos soon!
It seems the calls are "forced" through speakerphone but works fine with a bt headset.
Connected and making calls through our Asterisk SIP (although only through my shortcut numbers, I expect I need to work on the dialplan file).
Anyone out there capable of making a document on how the dialplan file should be generated?
Once again eluth, well done! This is the main reason I moved to WM6 and now I have what I wanted!

you need show all files on

So i have to install another CAB?

This is EXCELLENT news !!!!! Good work !
Could the leadspeaker only problem be caused by the Radio Rom not supporting SIP?
(Sorry for the Newbeeee question) ?
I was just wondering whether WM6 devices will support SIP just like a normal GSM call in terms of using the handset speaker ?
(Im dying to try this out, unfortunately my Universal has a very bad case of alignment issues, and I cant get pas the screen alignment screen... Sigh.....)
Anyway thats excellent news !
Please keep the information coming for us poor plebs with non working bricks

How to with WinCECab
How do I creat the .cab with wincecabmanager and in what directory to install??

I followed your guide, and made the cab file (i had to do that a few times to get the correct sip sittings)
I have an asterisk network, and this connects perfectly over wifi, calls are clear and FAST! (i am not sure which codec the MS sip stuff uses though)
i am using the 3DES rom.
I was suprised that the sip dialing is using the normal EAR speaker, not the one on the back of the phone! so thats very cool!
When dialing numbers i am having to type in 00countrycode (eg. 0044) instead of using the numbers from my address book +countrycode (eg. +44), it just wont dial with +countrycode, i think this is due to the regional settings maybe.
thanks for the guide, very cool stuff!

nicely done eluth! You beat me to this one I was missing the cabarc piece of this for doing the WM provisioning.... (put off till MEDC actually).

Hello papmopps,
... Actually you don't. WinCeCabManager is for creating CABs with files inside (software install).
What we are doing here is to create a cab for XML provisioning.
You do that with cabarc or makecab (Microsoft free tools), not WinCeManager.
Look for XML Provisioning with Cab files in msdn for more info.

Raix,
Which device/ROM are you using?
--eluth.

Ok, vonage soft phone is working perfectly. Calls to my softphone use regular headset speaker and transfer to BT if my headset is active. In fact, when active I can make calls to my softphone and my regular cellphone number.
WM6VoIP.cab is mine btw and will enable VoIP fully on WM6. Here are the Vonage settings:
_put_account_here_ = your 11 digit softphone number
_put_password_here_ = the password assigned to it (combination of 10 random numbers/letters)
Here's the provisioning:
Code:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="VoIP">
<parm name="SIPSettings"
value="<provision key='1232ab01' name='Vonage'>
<provider name='Vonage' />
<user account='_put_account_here_' password='_put_password_here_'
uri='sip:[email protected]'
allowedauth='digest'/>
<sipsrv addr='sphone.vopr.vonage.net:5061' protocol='UDP' role='proxy'>
<session party='First' type='pc2pc' />
<session party='First' type='pc2ph' />
</sipsrv>
<sipsrv addr='sphone.vopr.vonage.net:5061' protocol='UDP' role='registrar'/>
</provision>" />
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
note: if no joy, try making the following registry setting change:
HKLM\System\VoIP\SIP
EnablePort5060 = 1
edit: note, I didn't have to make this registry change to enable my softphone account.

bummer.... while calls transfer to my BT headset, there's no sound at all.... This will take a bit of troubleshooting I'm afraid.

Sorry i forgot to mention that.
I'm using a Hermes with Kyphurs XDA Live 0.2 Rom.
After the Installation of the WM6VoIP.cab the needed Files in the windows dir are still missing.
Nevertheless i created a cab with my settings and installed it but that didn't work, because there are no entries in the Windows\Voip Dir.
But i'm sure this whole thing will be fixed
EDIT:
Damnit i forgot to check "Show all Files". All neede Files are there! Even a settings file after installing my cab. But the SIP Client can't connect to sipgate right now (still says "not available"). I'm going to check and test my settings now!
EDIT2:
I just forgot the Port after the SIP Server.
with sipgate.de:5060 everything works fine!
Great work!

i got my fav program on chome

wow! how'd you do that?

Well he did it using the Welcome Center. I actually had this done a few days ago, after seeing it done on the Shadow. Here's how mine looks and I also attached a .cab that will let it install on your device. All you have to do to edit it so it shows your apps is go to HKLM/Security/Chome/DefaultSettings/CWelcomeCenter

p.s. I will take requests to modify the .cab to add paths to your specific applications, if you reply with the exact path to the application you want launched and the text you want it to show.

Thanks NRG.

did you make those icons or are they from something else?

Thank you for the reply NRG.

Nah... they're downloaded from the net. Hell... two of them are IPhone icons! LOL

very... very slick...
I noticed on your reg edit that you skipped "page 2", I imagine it contained previous data that you wished to leave unchanged....
... or is there a specific reason?

Hmm when i imput the text for the programs i wanted to load, it didnt seem to save after a softreset, also it wouldnt let me import a reg file, did you have to do something special for it?

great job OP, love it.

great addon - can anyone give good example of use w/icons?
ps. is there a way for this slider to show MRU icons?

I noticed that this is a modified version of the menu that I created for the T-Mobile Shadow (http://freddyreyes.com/forums/index.php?topic=285.0)
The only difference is that you added DefaultSettings\CWelcomeCenter to the registry path. In the Shadow you don't need that...interesting.
I may be able to port all the customizations that I created to the new wm6.1 interface.

You can also use the HKLM/Security/Chome/DefaultSettings/Settings. In fact you can duplicate the Settings to some other name and change the contents of both Settings and the new one accordingly.

Change Clock Font
Here's another tip. Copy \Windows\CHome_240x320.cpr to pc. Modify it to your hearts content, fontsize, fontstyle, etc, etc. I changed my clock face to digital, moved the date position, moved the wi-fi position and reduce the pane size smaller (take a look at my avatar).
Should you messed up this file, simply delete i from your device on \Windows. The original will be restored since it is in ROM
Hope this helps. But I really appreciate anyone who can add ElecontWeather to the clock's pane
Thanks

You're right. Only difference is... I didn't work with "CLinks3", like you did it. So I had to use the WelcomeCenter which is kind of useless anyway. Kavana did it with the Settings plugin... I guess there's several ways to do it.

Yeah, Kavana already release a utility that does it for you. I released a .cab that did it, a while ago.. The "JavoZ" cab. Also, rickwyatt included that utility in his latest ROMs.

How to customize the Chome WM 6.5 ROM

Here is a little tutorial to customize the Chome WM 6.5 ROM , this discovery is credited to sebastien13.
First go to Xda and download this tool:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497232
It will enable / disable the tables and put in the order that suits you.
Then download it here:

Disable Chome Today the once unzip the folder, copy "cmhomeres.dll.0409.mui" in Windows and "mxip_WWE_CHome_Programs.provxml" in My Documents. Launch "AdvancedConfig" Menu-Import. Provisioning XML, then click My Documents, the box at the bottom click mxip_WWE_CHome_Programs.provxml, wait 5 seconds and then "OK" and "Completed."
Today's Chome reactivate, you will have a "Programs" and in addition by dragging right or left 9 programs will appear.
You can also change the programs and the order among 9.
This example is for the left softkey:
<characteristic type="HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="SK1TEXT" datatype="string" value="Calculatrice"/>
<parm name="SK1URL" datatype="string" value="\Windows\MobileCalculator.exe"/>
</ characteristic>
SK1TEXT is the text of the left softkey in all tables
SK1URL is the way to the program.
For 9 programs:
<characteristic type="HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\CWelcomeCenter\Page1" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="ACTIONURL" datatype="string" value="\Windows\Hibernate.exe"/>
<parm name="TEXT2" datatype="string" value="Récupération of RAM"/>
<parm name="TITLETEXT" datatype="string" value="Mise in route"/>
<parm name="TEXT1" datatype="string" value="Hibernate"/>
<parm name="SK2TEXT" datatype="string" value="Hibernate"/>
<parm name="SK2URL" datatype="string" value="\Windows\Hibernate.exe"/>
</ characteristic>
ACTIONURL AND TEXT1, TEXT2 : command Tab
SK2URL AND SK2TEXT : command right softkey
So, I count on you a little to further improve ease of use of this new interface. Post your experience and if you find something else do not hesitate to share it.

Reserved for update

Oh, thanks a million. Very usefull guide.

Thanx chanvi 4 this tutorial.
It works perfect!

Thanks again Chanvi!
This is exactly what was missing for me with CHome ... and I had been trying very hard to do this with the launcher panel in TitanWeather but with little success.
Quick word of warning to other users though -> Edit the Provisioning XML before you go and import it!
(lol, at least read the thing before you import it and then come one here posting complaints )
In it's current state it is a great example of how to customise your "Programs" panel but I imagine most people are going to prefer to keep "Contacts" as their SK1 key (whereas this xml will change that to be Calculator ... on every panel)

Thanks the.decoy for the warning
A little change in 1rst post :
ACTIONURL AND TEXT1, TEXT2 : command Tab
SK2URL AND SK2TEXT : command right softkey
So you can have until 18 programs .

Works like a chrm for me.
3 quick questions :
> how to show on the picture panel, the photo in \storage card\my documents\my pictures ? by defaut it uses My picture in my device ...
> how to add a favourite contacts tab (that would be very useful and could make CHome at the level of M2D....) ?
> is it possible to add more than 9 favourite programs in such tab ?

I have been setting up the Programs panel, and I am trying to work out 2 things:
- What is the "ADC" page for? (i.e. why "ADC", not "page10"? can I just use any name? etc)
- Why is my "Page2" page no showing up?
I noticed that in the registry all of the other (visible) pages have two things under their reg entry:
(1) These two keys (although the PICTURES value ranges from 2500-2509)
"PICTURES"="2501"
"GUID"="{2F710F22-9F19-43fa-8F35-9927D246B078}"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
(2) A sub folder called "0409" which seem to be remnants of the original WelcomeCenter panel. eg:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CWelcomeCenter\Page1\0409]
"TEXT2"="Set date and time"
"TITLETEXT"="Getting Started"
"TEXT1"="Clock"
"SK2TEXT"="View All"
"ACTIONURL"=":MSWelcomeCenter;\\Windows\\wc_setdatetime.0409.wcml"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
...
Actually, nevermind about "Page2", I just fixed that by manually creating the GUID and PICTURES keys myself (GUID is the same for all of them and I just gave it the PICTURES value of 2502).
Still curious what the deal is with "ADC" ...
Also trying to find if there is a way to set specific icon pics for each Page (instead that default one from the original WelcomeCenter pages).

"Re-import" mxip_WWE_CHome_Programs
Hi all.
One question:
After i import it once (the mxip_WWE_CHome_Programs file), i've made changes to the file (like switching some of the programs and the text that appears) and wanted to import the file a second time, but it gave me some error about the NETCFv35 (something like it had an error message avaiable for this exception but it was not possible to show).
My question is: How can i import the file, every time i make a change?
Thanks in advance.

I found that you can keep importing the provxml into AdvancedConfig over and over (whenever you make changes). No problems.

Thanks in advance

I have a problem i have xda2 6.5 on my wizard ,and i installed Chome configurator and titanium customizer , and pretty much messed up the things is there a way different than a hard reset that i can restore my chome default settings and try again thanks !

Well, i can't seem to import it for the second time... keeps popping the message...
Did you soft/hard reseted?
Nor reseting or disabling CHome works for me...

[6.5] Titanium plugins - overview for wvga users

A couple of weeks ago I made the switch from 6.1 to 6.5...because imo Winmo 6.5 is definitely an improvement over 6.1. The new today screen - also known as Titanium - is truly a joy to work with.
I know there's a thread for titanium plugins at the dev section of xda, but I had to go through a lot of trouble before getting them to work. So..I'm starting this thread where you can easily get the plugins.
For ease of use, you can download the files in this thread..Or you can go to the specific thread for further notice.
Here we go
1. First things first
When installing plugins, ALWAYS disable titanium.
Install MortScript on your device.
Install Chome Editor by showaco
2. The plugins
Artesea Twitter - Update and keep track of twitter!
Install by opening the 'Install.mscr' in the zip
CommManager - Turn on/off phone signal // wifi // bluetooth // data connection
Install the cab. When running titanium you can setup this plugin.
Titanium Weather - Lets you keep track of the weather
Extract the rar and install cab. C/P the 'TitaniumWeather.mscr' over the original at Program Files\TitaniumWeather (may be different). To change the location, visit accuweather and enter your respective location.
e.g. Haarlemmermeer, Netherlands --> EUR|NL|NL008|HAARLEMMERMEER
CLauncher // CSettings // CGames - Let's you launch applications in titanium
I've customized these 3 plugins to my own needs. It has 3 launchers with each 9 pages.
You can change the settings of these with Chome Editor.
e.g. You can change the condensed page - plugin label with this. Thus making it possible to enter a category of apps to your own needs.
Don't forget to enable the page 6 to 9 with Chome.
--> Install the 3 cabs and play with it in Chome!
Taskanium - The plugin I use the most on a daily base. Lets you view or add tasks in titanium.
Extract the rar. C/P Taskanium folder in your Program Files folder. Run 'TaskaniumInstall' on your device.
JMLStocks - Let's you view stocks in Titanium.
Extract the rar and C/P to your device or storage card. Run 'JMLStocksInstall.mscr'
Favorite People Plugin - The name speaks for itself
Install the cab.
Windows Live - Standard Live bar for titanium, which ofcourse is already included in wm6.5
I didn't get this one to work at first. But after playing with Chome Editor I've found a solution to get it work. Change the value for 'DISABLED' to '0'.
Ofc there are other plugins available for titanium, but I don't use them :x
I would like to thank those people who made these plugins available for us...THANK YOU!
ps. If there are other plugins you would like to add here, you can pm me so I can add it to the list.

Since I reached the max of 8 files per upload..
Here is the last one...so far
-edit-
Post #10 has another couple of plugins added to this list by GutsyTripod.
These plugins are:
CNitrogen
COffice
CFacebook
TitaniumNotification
JMLToday
Further info about these plugins can be found in that specific post.
Thanks GutsyTripod!
For the facebook icon, you should edit your Titanium_480x800.cpr file, which can be found in the Windows folder of your device. Replace the facebook part with this piece of code overhere.
Code:
<!-- CFacebook layout templates -->
<Layer ID="CFacebookExpanded" Visible="False" Width="480" Height="164" Clip="False">
<Layer ID="Page" Clip="False">
<!-- Large icon in upper right -->
<Image ID="PICTURES" Left="376" Top="-26" Width="86" Height="86" ScaleStyle="Stretch" />
<Text ID="TEXT1" Left="40" Top="45" Width="340" Height="42" FontFamily="Century Gothic" FontSize="10" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="False" VerticalAlignment="Top" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#00000000" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0" />
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF" />
</Text>
<Text ID="TEXT2" Left="40" Top="80" Width="430" Height="60" FontFamily="Century Gothic" FontSize="8" FontStyle="Regular" Wrap="True" VerticalAlignment="Top" Trimming="EllipsisCharacter">
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetDropBottomRight" Color="#00000000" TextOffset="1" BlurFactor="3" Alpha="1.0" />
<TextStage TextOffsetType="TextOffsetNone" Color="#FFFFFFFF" />
</Text>
Ofcourse you should change the font (in my case Century Gothic) to the font of your choice. Default is Tahoma I Guess. Remember that this is only for portrait mode!

Many thanks ive been trawling the forums for a couple of days looking for Titanium plugins and the best way to install them, and here it is ....sorted! Many thanks

For the essex place, it's working (lovely 21 degrees )
Did you overwrite the TitaniumWeather.mscr' from the zip over the one at your program files/titaniumweather folder? (or where ever you've installed titanium weather)
That should fix it normally

It´s allways nice to see a thread like this. Very handy!

i didnt copy to mscr, works fine now!! thanks veruy much so helpful

More Cabs !
Here is a list of cabs that also work on the HD.
Plugins for Nitrogen Player, Microsoft Office, Facebook and text/email Notifications.
The jml today plugin is a replacement to the simple clock. probably best to disable it if using jml instead.
The cHome Editor is a must. It allows you to reorganise which order you want your items to appear. you can also disable/enable panels.
All tested and working. (except facebook doesn't seem to load on Miri's Roms for some reason.

taskanium does not install for me :[ when i trie to install it, it gets an error :[ im running dutty's 6.5 r9 rom. and yes my titanium is off and i have mortscript, etc. just this plugin doesnt work for me :[

Did you copy the taskanium folder into your programfiles folder?
From there you should run the taskaniuminstall file in that folder.
Should run properly since I'm also running Dutty 6.5 r9

my titanium weather doesn't connect to the internet by using the 3g connection.
if i try to update the following error msg appears
Couldn't establish internet interpreter.connection
Line 1
(\Programme\TitaniumWeather\TitaniumWeater.mscr): connect("The Internet")
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i tried o rename "the internet" to "drei.at" with or without the queotes - it makes no difference
i even tried to replace instPath% with Programme - no difference

Even More Cabs !
Here is some cabs to change the icons of your titanium weather, all by Showaco.
just install, then when you go to settings in titanium weather go to "display options" at the bottom left corner to change the icon style.
If anyone has problems with weather not updating or they just get red x's instead of weather then you might need to add in the below mortscript file.
I dont have a cab but you just need to unzip it with your file explorer into Program Files\TitaniumWeather
Chocolate, Battenberg, Tiramisu (piece of cake!)

Ehm - why don't you refer to the JMLToday-Thread? The current version is 5.3 - and with much more WVGA-Skins (.plg-Converter makes it possible )
and JMLStocks - you can use the cab from the post - so you don't need a zip.
If I can help, please tell me

thx, update is working now.
but, another two problem appeared...
if i open the chmenu editor i can modify the path to the icons
somehow everywhere is writen "Program File" instead of "Programme". seems the plugin doesn't recognize my german wm6.5 correctly.
i corrected that so far, but then i get another problem
if i update, i have no icones. only the X - icon not found
if i open the editor again the path to the icons is shown as
"\Programme\Titanium Weather\\Programme\Titanium Weather\plgFiles\Spil\03.png"
the fat marked is too much. why? any ideas?

i think i solved the problem. i edited every single reg entry manually. now i have the symbols.
it appears that the tool doesn't work with a german wm6.5 100%.
a) everytime the path should contain "programme" there is a "program file"
b) init string für "internet" is called "the internet" > no connection
c) the path to the images is \Programme\Titanium Weather\plgFiles\Spil\03.png altough the images are stored in \Programme\Titanium Weather\Spil\03.png >> no images. i simply copied them to the "wrong" folder, instead of editing all reg entries.
d) somehow a part of the path is duplicated (see post #18)
e) i tried to modify the registry with the chome editor 1.6b > doesn't work for all settings, some have to be done with a normal reg editor.

You will find a German Version of Titanium Weather in htc-developers.de.
And yes - it's a problem with the icons in a ROM, which is not WWE. Needs double installation

[TIP] Defaulting 720p video recording on HTC devices

Hello ladies and guys,
I came across some dumps of ROMs with WP7 when checking some stuff in it, and I think I might be on my way to the 720p auto-selecting when recording videos on HTC devices.
You must have your phone unlocked and deploy one file into \Windows, named camerasettingsmanifest.0409.xml (or if you are using another lang then modify it manually - or use this one renamed but the description will be in English!).
On line or around that line number 41 - 49 is settings for video recording:
Code:
<setting
type="enum"
mode="video"
guid="{9F4200C4-72CC-412d-9313-625D0B504183}"
title="Resolution">
<value friendlyName="720P (1280 x 720)" width="1280" height="720" />
<value friendlyName="VGA (640 x 480)" width="640" height="480" default="true" />
<value friendlyName="QVGA (320 x 240)" width="320" height="240" />
</setting>
I think it is obvious what to modify
Pick the 720p one, extract the zip and via some cool tools like TouchXplorer copy it to \Windows (I think you are going to need that tool (XBMod?) to create XAP from it and deliver it to phone, I don't have it there right now, sorry, will update later). And probably reboot device to make sure it will work.
If it will fail, just either delete the new one and it will put there back the original one or overwrite it again with the no-720p one.
I can't test it right now as my HD2 is running WM6.5.3 and not WP7, but who is going to give it a try?
Please note that I take no responsibility for damage happened to your device! And I haven't tested this yet. This .xml was taken from latest HTC Schubert 1.60 ROM (and it is the same as in WP7 HD2 dump btw).

would be a cool tip if we can edit camerasettings.xml ... atleast for now access to this file is denied

When unlocked phone, you can't deploy it via HTC's ProvXML way and via the provxml make the file move from eg \My Documents\my ringtones to \Windows?
Like I said, I don't have WP7 handset right now to test it.

Is it me or is there nothing inside the zip files when I open them.

There is one .xml in both of those, they are maybe hidden so it won't show them.

Yeah they were hidden while try them.

Weird then, I was hoping the solution would be this easy. I'll look onto some more dumps from other ROMs from Samsung or LG how is handled settings there.

it cant work. the file is already in the windows dir...and its writeprotected...
provxml delete command cant delete it, same with fileexplorers.
Of course this is the file which holds the settings for the cam, so this tip is valid...we just dont have "overwrite"-access to windowsfiles

strange , after a reboot I copied the file from the win dir to the pc and if I open it it is the modded file , that mean you can overwrite a file in the win dir.
ps: I didn't use the provxml , I just copied it to the win dir using the webserver app and touch explorer

I wish there was mention of changing it to default to always flash when taking a picture. All my pictures are blurry unless I force a flash when taking pictures (even in daylight). I have to change this setting every single time I take a picture.

You are right. Deleting doesnt work...but overwriting works
And the tweak itself works like a charm, too thx
@cees: you have to change the languagecode to our language (0407)

Wow, good to hear
I should make bold that .0409 or any other lang related stuff .

Doesn't work for me!
720p option is selected but recording is not in 720p i steel need to clic on it
to really set it.

Hmm then it appears to set default just the description text and not the option itself
Too bad
