Unable to install cabs from device after messing with registry policies... - HTC Excalibur

Hi!
I'm using ricky/kavana v24 wm6.1 ROM and while trying to install the 96-131 dpi change cab I changed a number of keys in my registry in the policies (HKLM\security\policies\policies) and now I'm unable to install cab files - when I try to open/"click" them nothing happens...
So, I guess I has something to do with my registry changes, which I didn't keep track of (I changed beyond the 101b, 1001, 1005, 1017 keys...).
Can someone please export and post it's excalibur policies registry entries for me to compare with mine and correct it?
It'll also be useful for people willing to app unlock it's excalibur/dash in the future...
I'll really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers!

Thanks showaco, that's the whole idea.
Is it that hard to get that the post is primarily intended for me not to have to hard reset the phone?!
Still, anyone willing to post their reg entries?
I'll wait some more for a good willing soul an leave hard resetting my phone as the last resort...
Cheers!

Thanks a lot Mikey1022!
I had wrong values on keys 1006 and 1007, which i fixed according to your reg entries, but it didn't solve the problem... i guess the problem is somewhere else in the reg or with some app i might have installed right before the reg changes...
I'll try uninstalling whatever was installed prior to that and look further into solving the problem.
I'll post any progress i have.
Cheers.

Sounds Familiar
Yesterday I put on 6.1 with no problem and tried using the keyboard mapping cab file and it wouldnt do anything just opend the file and showed the details.
I knew there was something wrong and I wasnt crazy

Throwing the towel... hard resetting...

Good to know i'm not crazy as well (even tough there's a slight chance we're both...lol).
I searched some more on the web and found this:
http://www.everythingq.com/forum/motorola-q/cab-file-association-broken-7117.html
Hope it helps you cos i didn't work 4 me, so i'll be hard resetting my phone in the next few minutes
Anyways, i thank to the ones who helped in this thread and hope the info helps someone in the future.
Cheers.

there is one place that i make mods for .cab installs which you may want to take a look at first.
HKCR-->cabfile-->Shell-->Open-->Command-->(Default) .... the value is: wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete ...personally i take the /nodelete off so it removes the .cab after the install. but check that to see if that's whats listed.
Also check here:
HKCR-->cabfile-->EditFlags and make sure the value is: 65536

Greeting oh clever ones | mun's Rom question

Hi People
First off, want to say hi, really looks like a nice community here, and hoping to be a human sponge and soak up all I can from you
Hopefully be able to contribute at some point in time.
I got a SPV m700 (Trinity) from Orange, and using my T-mobile sim card in it, after installing mun's ROM update.
Just wanted to know - does the INTERNAL gps still work, as I can only see the external GPS setting.
Will be loadin up TomTom as soon as I get a memory card.
Any other suggestions from you guys - that has experience with t-mobile settings for this phone?
cheers!!
You'll be fine.
Don't mess with any of the GPS settings, and when you install TomTom set it up as follows:
Other NMEA receiver
Com 9 Baud 115200
Cheers buddy.
I went thought the massive thread (tried to anyways) and could get a straight answer if it's still enabled or not.
Thanks
With tomtom, just use the Built in GPS setting.

No, just install and enjoy. you can copy the .CAB file to your Device and install from there. There only screen you will not get is the COMM Manager.

seleting "Try This" should bring up a save dialog box. I used the link the otherday and did again just know to test the link still worked.

Cheers dude - second link works just fine, first one is just a bunch of XML files for some reason
Might have something to do about work blokcing it - but I doubt it.
Just caught up on this thread- sorry!
Glad you now have the HTC HomePlug- I've just tried the download from our site, and it worked fine, so maybe a config problem on the PC you were using?
If you haven't already, just copy the cab file to the PPC, then locate it with Pocket File Explorer, and tap it to install.
Now go to Settings/Today/Items and put a checkmark against it, and uncheck other plugins you don't need, and voila !

keyborad mapping while in call FIX

This will allow you to type normally while in a call, without the numbers being locked on in other applications. I could not find this anywhere so I did so tinkering and found this key to be the problem. I saw many other people that had the same problem here is the fix. Quite simple.
Just change the following key.
\ HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\
“enablekeyboardmaping” to 1
Update. this fix is not currently working
Wow nice tips!
Was wondering how to get rid of this in my rom.
This was very helpfull
EDIT: Didn't worked for me. Tried some different typo but still no luck :/

Can you maybe elaborate a bit more you tweak? I am maybe missing something
Nope, this is not working
Either 1 or 0, DWORD value
oh man.. are we close to finding a fix?!?
this worked for me. I am running
WM6 5.2.1620 build 18125.0.4.2
ROM 3.61.502.1
the AT&T version
after I changed this it worked right away no reset needed
post a cab please
i dont see this in the reg at all.....
Might have to create it.
It's already built into the ROM im using so I can't check.
before i changed this key it did not work after i changed it it did. so i just changed it back and the numbers didnt come up. i will post the other keyboard cab i found as soon as i can.
i thought i had it
i will also try setting to 0 and soft rebooting just to make sure.

Can you re-confirm the key, sans typos (no offence thepcguy85 )
after reboot the keys did not revert back. so now i am puzzled, l also loaded this cab with keyboard mapping. please note this cab is only for the AT&T 8525. but i am not sure if it was this cab or not.
we may be able to pull the setting out of this cab if it is the fix.
The cab is the same old 8525 keyboard mapping fix.
The key referenced in the OP has typos at the very least.
The ROM referenced in post #7 is the latest AT&T ROM, in which the problem has been fixed.

Many many people have asked him what he did in his 3.61 rom thread. You may read his full response there, but, in short, he cannot replicate it.
I checked to see if this would work but my OEM/PhoneSettings Doesn't even have registry key as An Option.

If your saying This , Then that means it has more to Do with Just the Build. I thought it Was the Build that The vp3G ROM was using that corrected the Error but if Fun_Key ROM is using the same Build than It's more than Just the Build .I"ll try Combing Over the Registry Keys in the vp3G ROM and then maybe get some Answers. I"m sure it's been done But what else can we do right now....

I made some mix, but most part should come of 3.61. When I first built my rom there were some issue that denied me to use a full 3.61 through pandora.
But this is in fact a good hint which could allow me to troubleshoot the key mapping issue.

I believe this should fix it. use a hex editor to edit shell32.exe's S000. search for 0000004AB2FFFFEB, change it to 0000004A0000A0E1.
@trashcan: how am I to do the editing? Will it work even though my unit is not connected with activesync?
to update to a new rom, even if you can't connect with activesync, press the power + left ok buttons and press reset until a 4 color screen appears. then you should be able to update to any image using RUUWrapper.exe
@destro: thanks alot. it worked
me too.. yesterday get lock..

**Android On The Dash** Is Partly Working, But We Still Need Drivers

Okay so me and a few helpful people from the #htc-linux and #linwizard channels on freenode have built a version of linwizards kernel for the wizard to run on the excalibur! At first we had no framebuffer so no screen at all but thanks to tmzt, the framebuffer is fixed. Also myself, tmzt, and ali1234 made a (semi) working keymap. All the buttons work just a few tweaks need to be made.
**UPDATE**Thanks to some brilliant work by starwarrior we now can load android and play with it, the phone functions do not currently work, more details on post 76. Have fun.
I have included all you need to run the linwizard kernel on your excalibur. It is as safe as a soft reset; nothing permanant is done to your phone. You will have to remove the battery to reboot and get back to your normal windows enviroment.
Currently there is no support for the following and are a work in progress:
X
Sd card access
GSM usage (calls, sms, gprs)
Anyone with this type of experience or anyone who wants to help at all please email me at gentoon at gmail dot com.
Thanks to everyone working on the linwizard project and everyone who has helped do far.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/gfme0e
To run all you have to do is extract run the haret executible and click run. You will see some text letting yo know its loading the kernel, then some garbae as the framebuffer adjusts... then a login screen just enter root and nothing for the password field. Then there you go a working linux enviroment!
I know little to nothing about Linux but I am always up for something new. I have a "spare" Excalibur- and in another week I will have 2 spares so if you need anything specific tested let me know
Ummm so do you have the program available or no...

also you wil probably have to do a soft reset right before you run haret to avoid it freezing. Have fun.
Is it possible to see a screenshot of what it looks like on the excalibur.
Thanks
IDK for some reason I am hesitant to try this...
The main project is located at http://linwizard.sourceforge.net you can see some screenshots there of it working on the wizard. Of course our port doesnt support everything they have working on the wizard yet, but with some moe help we could.

Well do you know anything about linux? I can get the kernel source uploaded. We need a better keymap first of all( we need \ mapped, also control and esc are mapped but dont seem to be working), then someone who knows something about X, it would be nice to have a GUI. Right now I would just like some people to test it on their excaliburs. Also all of the credit for the original kernel goes to the linwizard project. So thanks guys.
Hi,
Here are the patched files for Excalibur. Remove the .txt extension and copy them over the corresponding files in linwizard kernel tree.
Im going to be adding a detailed to do list on the main page. Once i get some real developers rounded up we are going to make this an official project on sf.
hey..i have seen this day in my dreams..lol
anyways i have ubuntu on of my pc's and love it...so i don't know too much about linux but i would definitely be willing to help!

Can't add programs to start menu

Hi,
I've searched Google and this forum so apologies if this has been answered, but I have a strange problem.
I presently have 25 out of the available 30 slots on my start menu (Touchflo) occupied. However, when I try to add programs to any of the last free 5 slots, I can select from the programs list, but when it goes back to the Touchflo start menu, the newly added program isn't there and I still have 5 free slots.
No matter which programs I try to add, or how many times I reboot, it doesn't work.
Interestingly, if I delete any of the previous 25 and try to add to one of those free slots, it works fine.
I have no idea why this is happening or how to fix it, and I'm hoping someone can give me some advice please.
Cheers,
Pete
Hi there,
Anyone got any clues or am I the only person on the planet having this problem?

I am having this same problem. I can't figure it out!
Are you using a cooked ROM? I recall having this problem when I tried out the Energy Genesis ROM. According to users from that thread, it was a known bug.
I fixed the problem experienced with the Genesis ROM by installing this cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4096922&postcount=1 it might help. You could check the slots are not set to readonly as well (see reg keys in linked post)

Thanks Gordon, I have checked the registry and they aren't read-only, but I'll give your suggestion a try to see what happens. Thank you

No, standard ROM I'm afraid, but thanks for the suggestion.

The Sprint ROM doesn't seem to allow you to add icons the homescreen at all; the ones that are there at default are the only ones you can add. You can take a few away, but that's the only amount of customization available.
