How in heck do you import reg keys?
I thought, just transport them over and execute them.
I keep getting an error. "The specified file is not a Registry script"
And i somewhat did a search....brought up to many threads, none with a specific title as this issue.
Is there a reg hack to enable reg importing??

You just copy and execute them.
Incase they are not working, before you copy to your phone - right clik reg key and click edit type this in the first line of the registry key (in other words, it should be the first line):
REGEDIT4
save it, copy it to your phone and execute them. See if that works.
If it still does not work, open Resco Explorer and execute the file and hopefully that should work.
Good Luck !

All the above has been tried.

Wierd.
What are you trying to do? Can you ellaborate, please?
I've never had a problem in importing registry keys.

It depends on the format of the registry key. You can't use normal Windows desktop format if I recall. The file must have a .reg extension (sure you checked that). Can you post a snippet of what your key format looks like?
The key must look something like this (exported from Reg Editor):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Import my old reg keys for links.

i updated the program today, so i am trying to import the keys back.
Instead of doing all those changes manually

lol, i just recently got finished messing with my reg files because they weren't importing correctly. from what i can see from your registry snippet, and what fixed it for me was that i used mobileregistryeditor to export my keys, and it didn't add double \\, so it would import WindowsExplorer.exe instead of windows\explorer.exe. It was only once i exported with resco and compared the two that i noticed the missing extra \ in the exported files.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\ CAppointments]
"ICONPATHS"="\windows\cal_s.png;\windows\cal_s.png "
"LocName"="Appointments"
vs.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\ CAppointments]
"ICONPATHS"="\\windows\\cal_s.png;\\windows\\cal_s.png "
"LocName"="Appointments"

I used the same program.
I think i will be using resco to export them from now on.

Thanks, had the same problem, this works well
Solved my problem, thanks to both of you.

Can someone please post an example .reg file???

I'm trying to put together a .reg file that I can run after hard-resets which will automatically apply all of the custom reg tweaks that I usually have to perform by hand one at a time using a reg editor. After a few tries though in notepad, I think I am screwing up some formatting or something. I just can't seem to get them right so that the .reg file runs without errors.
Can someone please post an example .reg file with a couple different reg tweaks that I can then edit and add to in notepad so that I have a template to go from of how the reg entries need to be formatted within the .reg file?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!! Alex

HTC WWE WM6: Keyboard Mapping Required?

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.
GL,
J
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)...

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!!!

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

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?

Touch Pro 2 keyboard without a "Tab"

Hi guys,
i believe all genius(es) on WM are here... wow...
i NEED a "Tab" key for making bullets... for me it's a major reason to continue upgrading a keyboard WM device..
Please help.. how can i do a "Tab" on Onenote and Word...

Thanks in advance...
Try remapping a key you don't use.

It will, however, not give you the full TAB funcionality. If you're used to using the TAB key for jumping from one field to another this doesn't work.

If you are using the english keyboard layout, you can edit the file eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt in the windows directory to map one of the keys to TAB.
I have attached a copy that maps "fn + T" to "Tab" if that's all you are looking for. Just copy it to a folder in your TP2 and use resco/total commander to copy it to your windows directory.
P.S: If you are going to edit it further, remember to save it as unicode or else your keyboard will not function correctly. To revert back to the original keyboard settings, just delete the file from the windows directory and it'll revert back to the original file that came with the ROM.
The up/down arrow keys send you from one field to the next
I use PQzII (http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm) to map "Ctrl + Q" to "Tab", I also installed HookMgr from (http://www.mobiion.com/)

Go to HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles and look at what file is registry key "07FF" is pointing to. That's the file that is currently being used to define the mapping rules. Copy it out to your pc and amend it using notepad and save it as a unicode txt file.
There are instructions in the txt file itself - you can amend the mapping of other keys if you desire.

Import Registry pb ? morstcript

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...
