couldnt find a definitive answer already so thought it useful to open a clean thread for others. What is the best tools (preferably free) peeps are using to edit the registry (regedit) on their blackstone / touch hd ?
i find that PHM Reg Edit works best for me
I'm really amazed by Task Manager v3.1 from FdcSoft. It's a whole package deal, which is awesome unless you only want the regedit part...
This is their site
funny enough, ended up paying for the resco suite...its a great pack with a top regedit tool and only a few bucks.
thanks for your feedback

Hey guys,
I have an Ipaq h6315 and it doesnt look like they will be releasing a WM5 upgrade for my system; therefore, I'd like to find out if anyone know of a program, tool, registry key or anything that will allow a Windows mobile 2k3 system to change the display into Landscape?
If you know of anything that might work and could share the info with me i would really appreciate it!

Thanks for the reply Vijay. Is that the name of the application i have to look for?
PHM tools?
Thanks again!
WV
Is the 6315 running 2k3 or 2k3se? The original 2k3 didn't include screen rotate, but some people on this forum found a way of copying the Screen Rotation Service from a SE device to a 2k3 device. It was quite a while ago, but there will be something on this forum.
The original topic can be found here...

Findus,
I have regular Windows Mobile 2003 (non-SE)
thank you for giving me that thread info, i'll look and se if it'll work with my device!
Once again, thank you!
I installed the tool posted on the thread you gave me but unfortunately for me it didnt work. Maybe because mine is an Ipaq and those dlls are patched for a himalaya (maybe)
Just wanted to thank you anyways!
I have no specific idea about WM2003 vs WM2003se, but you want to try PHM key tools or something like that. It includes a lot of useful shortcuts, including screenrotation.

Thanks again Vijay!
Would you happen to know if PHM Tools is the same as PHM power toys? I've been looking for it and so far all i've found from PHM is the Registry editor and Power toys.
Thanks for the help!
By the way i tried "Virtual Display" from http://www.nyditot.com/Home.asp and it rotates the screen pretty nice and it has other useful options; however, when accessing the mobile phone application in landscape mode only numbers 1 thru 6 show on the dialpad screen
I'd like to try PHM tools and see if its able to display the dialpad correctly.
I have it
I have a copy of Nyditot and when I used wm2003 I thought is was very good.
Yes, Nydiot is great.
PHM - not sure what it's called now, I've taken my installation apart, but basically I have PHM Keys. Might be part of Powertoys. They're used with voice command etc as well, but contain a bunch of shortcuts. Try them all, they're all useful IMHO!
V
Vijay: Cool! I'm going to download the PHM Power toys since that's the only thing i've found so far (too bad i cant do it now since i dont have the usb cable at work LOL)
Littld: Were you able to see all numbers in the keypad when you used Nyditot in landscape mode?
I still have the tool installed in my PPC but when i try to use the phone in Landscape mode the numbers (dialpad) does not display all the buttons (i'll try to get a screen shot wheni get home)
Hi,
I just got my universal and want to apply so simple registry tweaks found on this forum, only I have no idea how to get into the registry. I know this sounds stupid, trying to tweak without any knowledge and experience, but changing a value from 0 to 1 is not beyond me.
So please if anyone would be so kind as to help me out with some info on to do this safely, ‘cause I don’t want to screw up this fantastic device. And without tweaking I would be missing out on a better running universal.
Thanks
There is no built in registry editor in most of the ROMs. You have to install the appropriate program like Resco Explorer, or Regedit etc.
Personally I prefer to use the my PC to edit the registry of my devices.
http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
This app uses the active sync connection to your PC and works with WM5 smartphone & pocket pc.
I personally prefer PHM Registry Editor. It is FREE and has a small foot print, plus it is installed in your device or SD Card if you prefer, so you don't have to drag around your computer just in case you have the urge to change something or try something out. Here is a link: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml
I prefer Total Commader CE from ghisler.com
thanks for all the suggestions. Only I don't understand how to use total commander to edit the registry. I use it as a great file explorer,but couldn't find a way into the registry.

Yeah - PHM is nice.
@ng .. make sure that you open the root directory on TC. There you wil see that you can select and open the register.
personally, I prefer Resco and have used all the others
Resco provides a much better file exporer, registry, ftp and a recycle bin, not free, but really, this software is cheap for so much extra functionality and simplicity all built into one.
i have TC used PHM and have never used the standard windows explorer built in....
Anyone got a link to one that runs on XP?
Thanks.

Thanks. I should have specified I would prefer a free one. I used one a couple of years back, but I forget what it was called, and couldn't turn it up with Google.
Workaround
I use PHM Regedit on the PPC and MyMobiler on XP http://www.mtux.com/ . MyMobiler is kind of a scaled-back (and freeware) version of (overpriced)SOTI PocketController, but has a lot of cool features that SOTI doesn't. For example, you can drag-and-drop cabs from the PC to the mobile screen and it will auto-install them.

Looks nice. Just installed it. However, the one I used before let you view/search/edit the PocketPC registry using a PC-based GUI rather than just remote controlling the PPC in a window.
Sorry for the confusion.
I also use PHM Regedit on my PDA but I use Mobile Registry Editor to access my PDA's registry from my laptop.
Not perfect but badass none the less.
Cheers Doc. I use PHM too but Mobile Registry Editor by Breaksoft is the one I was looking for.
Thx.
Hi guys, I found MRE thx to you guys but when I use it on my Trinity and try to delete some keys it always gives me access denied...
Anybody any ideas?

See if changing HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 1 (RAPI) and
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 40 (Cert) help
The MRE FAQ has more info regarding this.
PS (Sept 23, 2007) I had to setup a WM5 Samsung i830 the other day and created this security settings cab... enjoy!
If you download CorePro or UltimateCore they have some great remote regedit software included - saves hunting about.
There's a tool to run a complete dump (to .txt file) of your PPCs registry and one to edit it as if you were using PHM, Resco or even Regedit on your desktop - but in WinXP.
Just found this one. It is quick and looks to have more options than Mobile Registry Editor

This is a good one.
CE Regedit
There's also a project here on xda: CERegedit or it is the same as in post 11 ?!
Cheers
Just saw this one floating around, TorchSost Registry Workshop, looks interesting.

That's the one I was looking for. I had used it once but could not find it. Was on my old computer.
Thanks in advance, I am lost what is it? Where do I find it and what are all the tweaks i'm reading regarding this do for my diamond...HELP? touchflo configuration can't run tweaks do to the HKLM/??????
A simple search is all it takes; anyhow, find a registry editor like PHM or Resco and use that.
Thread closed.
I did do a search, and there are plenty of threads out there on what to tweak, and what settings to use.... but specific thread on what registry editor everybody uses... what do you use?
Thank you!

Search for Total Commander in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
Google search PHM Regedit. It is small, fast and uncomplicated.
FdcSoft Task manager. Seems a bit more advanced than Total commander for the registry side of things.

I'll second that recommendation...PHM is smooth, uncomplicated, lean (low resource use) and works great for regediting duties, just doesn't have all the extra feature-sets found in Total Commander, etc (which aren't required for reg editing).
Hint...just remember to use it (or whatever editor you choose) to make a backup copy of your reg before any tinkering, and to do a soft-reset after any changes.
