Registry edits - Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking

First i want to thank Heathcliff74 for the root tools that the samsung focus to be able to access these parts of the registry and write to them, we were not able to reach or do before. Also want to thank Julien Schaps for the registry editor, and also his other apps. Also thanks to Reddragon93 for His advance explorer.
Thanks to XBOXMOD and others in his findings with parts of the registry edits and tweeks as those as well works for samsung.
I thought it would be nice to have a thread for samsung registry edits and how to. So everyone share your findings as you do or add one thats not here.
SMS SOUND TONES
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS
and change the value data in sound:
value data: \My documents\My Ringtones\xxxxxx.wma
For those with NODO
select the ringtone in settings, rintones & sounds, that you want as SMS and goto HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\......Ringtone "0" folder and copy the value data, then go paste that into the value data for the sound for SMS. Then go back and select the phone ringtone for calls in settings that you want for phone ring.
If you dont have NODO just create the correct path in SMS sound \My Documents\My Ringtones\xxxxxx.wma
All edits are at your OWN risk.
Other sounds
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
ControlPanel\Sounds\Alarm
ControlPanel\Sounds\BatteryCharging
ControlPanel\Sounds\E-mail

These changes may impact the card stability issue but mine still remains stable. But i think in my experience it saves on battery and i also can tell a difference with the speed, i have no lag at all and seams to be a bit quicker!!

im using omnia7 but still the sms still not working everytime when i insert the path of the custome ringtone. and check the ringtone setting it will go back to NONE ....

Yes it will show none in the settings menu, but it changes the path that it selects for the SMS tone. Just send yourself a txt and you see. It will be possible for it to show up in UI maybe when file is able to be added to windws folder I think.

Make sure you have the path correct in SMS\ sound: Value: \My documents\My Ringtones\xxxxxx.wma if you are creating the value. It works i promise, try a reset after making the edit. Being able to have it in the windows folder will only allow it to show up in the list selection i do believe.

Someone noticed the cxscreen (in local machine/drivers/display/primary) value is set to 640 ??

It is in the windows folder listed as mologo.file

I think i may have the HD video resolution to be able to set higher, but havent tried to play video on computer yet to see if its full screen....will try to do that tomorrow and see how it works.

Im curious Lucas , once we have file system access (Focus) , with the mologo file , would you be able to change the file completely or would you have have to use the name mologo (even with a different picture) ? I mean personally I dont even want the screen to show up , giving me a faster boot!

Simply way to disable SMS threading on WM6.1 Vanilla

add
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
binary
value set to 1.
restart, and it works!!!
this key disabled the sms threading, without disabling the sound and other notifications (as far as i know).
Edit: in the middle of the key, it should be "settings", somehow the forum forbids post this "Settings" key.
Thank you.
there is even no such key in vanilla 4.01
but i've made it - and it works.
thanks!
works, thx.
but u can also use: DWORD Value!

Works great, thank you, also as a DWORD Value of 1, correct. Very nice, now i can keep WM6.1
how to enable the notification whether the message has sent?
just like previous WM 6 shortly after we tap 'send' the notification appear in the screen with 'message sent' written on it..
how to...how to..??
cheers,
thanks for posting the solution!

I'd like that too, anyone come up with a solution please let me know.
Just use schaps advanced configuration tool!
Other Option
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings (The Space in "Settin gs" is somehow accidently added by the forum, don't make that )
and there should be a
DWORD named "SMSNoSentMsg" set to 1
change it to 0 and you should get your notfication. If this Key and DWORD does not exist, create it with the value 0. Should work then

Hi,
I had the same issue. Are you sure you are using "Settings" key and not "Setting s". I was using "Setting s" key and this was causing a problem for me.
Also if you are using the right key, make sure as soon as you change your registry, you open text messages. I did this and the change is instantaneous, not requiring restart.
Hope this helps.
THANKS A LOT! Works fine for me. ROM: Artemis Vanilla 4.01 WWE.
No problems with rebooting mentioned somewhere here - everything stays.
P.s.: somebody make this topic sticky perhaps?

I have made that registry change this way:
- using Total Commander as registry editor
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting already exists
- created OEM folder using Mkdir
- created key SMSInboxThreadingDisabled = 1 using +add value+
- then going to messaging --> text messages - everything OK, no threads
- soft reset
- added key has disappeared (folder OEM and added key are gone)
- sms threading is back switched on :-(
What am i doing wrong ?

It works fine with me.
I use Vanilla 4.01 and PHM editor. not sure if you have saved the change under Total Commander, or maybe you have some kind of software that prevents changing Registry keys.
martin.eu, please wait about 5-10 minutes after registry change and do reset after that time. Windows requires some time to write registry to the ram from the cache.
It seems that there is some problem with regedit plugin in total commander. Change made with PHM regedit and everything works fine ...
thx,

Thank god for this thread, I can't imagine what insanity at Microsoft led to the implementation of the threaded, no notification SMS system - It's horrible !

Launch app when new SMS arrives

hi,
i am trying to put together my own sms triggered workflow. for that reason i am looking desperately for an sms-trigger which does not appear in the tray bar.
i have been intensively searching for this for ages and tried all of the apps i was able to find (smstrigger, rk-sms, mortring) but they either do not work or hook into the tray bar.
i hope that somebody can help me out.
What exactly do You want to happen when sms arrive ?
I can make a simple soft not visible in traybar,
BUT it IS visible in Taskbar.
It can f.ex fetch msg-body+Timestamp+Phonenumber from sender.
And perform Shell commands if needed.
hi eurocrypt!
first of all thanks for your help - i really appreciate that.
the minimum what i need is purely to start an exe file as i could do the rest with other utilities.
but what would really help is the following:
set the following flag to the registry
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Unread\Count = 1
if the sender's number is "#####" or the sender's name is "xxxxx" (if the number is stored as "xxxxx" in contacts)
that's it.
furthermore it would be great to delete exactly this sms with a different parameter perhaps.
My Idea is as follows:
I will make it possible to start the soft with Arguments
\SMSLaunch.exe aaa bbb ccc ddd eee fff ggg
Where
------------------------------------------------------
aaa= The Phone-number/name to trigger SMSLaunch
(Will be filter function, Name or Number Uppercase and removed Spaces and '-')
Like:
Mike Willson As contact Will be triggered if MIKE is Arg.
MIKE as arg will trigger Any Mike calling.
012-123 00 00 As Incoming Nr will be triggered if 01212 is arg.
073 as arg will trigger ANY number beginning with 073.
------------------------------------------------------
bbb= Shellcommand to run (Start app)
------------------------------------------------------
ccc= Arg for above shellcommand
------------------------------------------------------
ddd= Registry-Editing-Entry
------------------------------------------------------
eee= value to set for Registry.
( 1 is static, +1 increase by one, -1 decrease by one)
------------------------------------------------------
fff= Number to reply SMS to
------------------------------------------------------
Number of Arg's will be exact, and must be set by f.ex "X" to indicate
no Action for this Arg.
If needed I can make EDit function fromSoft if Started without Arg,
Textboxes to set ARgs and then Possibility to create A Shortcut with buildin Args.
I´m a bit buzy, so it may take some time to complete this,
hope You have time to wait.
WOW. GREAT!
sure i have time. i have been searching for weeks. so take all the time you need.
i am happy with command line based tool.
instead of textboxes (which might be cool for v2) something like
SMSLaunch.exe aaa /d
to delete the sms would be great.
background for what i use this tool:
i am using homescreen ++ as the only today-plugin. many of the provider in germany do not send a vmail-notice anymore. instead you receive an sms (this can not be changed in your mailbox account settings).
your tool will work as an sms-splitter to seperate vmail-sms from the rest. the process will be to set a registry value to "1" and delete the vmail-sms. homescreen++ will display an icon instead.
i am sure that some more users will be interested in this, too.
A Q!
Is this Reg entry correct ?
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\Unread\Count = 1
I have like this
HKCU\System\State\Messages\vmail\xxxxxx\Unread\Count = 1
where xxxxxx has 4 different entries
Line1
Line2
Total
VoIP
Same in both Omnia and HTC Cruise
I use "Line1" when testing my tool now,
and looks like working OK.
But what about Value, Count=1
Is it automatically go down to Count=0
when listening to Your V-Mails ?

reg key same to me.
basically it does not matter which regkey.
you could also use hkcu\software\eurocrypt\vmail
if you want to

superb!
yeah. count =1 if vmail arrives.
can you really do that - vmail to go down to 0 if calling mailbox?
how does the prog know that i am calling my mailbox?
maybe we need to put the number into a special regkey?
if it takes too much time, it is ok to leave vmail=1
i could also reset the value with mortscript.
Progress so far:
I have added possibility to use a SMSLauncher.ini in
same folder as EXE where settings can be specified.
(Easier to config for common guys)
But still possible to use Commandline.
IF SMSLauncher.ini exist, Commandline-Args will be skipped.
It is all working right now exactly as I want it
Though it is not compiled Yet, at work
and coding this toy in my HTC Cruise
Will make a working exe tonight to let You try it.
Also ok now to set VMAIL-Count to 0 if calling Your VMail-nr.
(Using a Phone-object)
Program also checking in SMS.Text for specified Trigger
if not Number/Contact trigged it.
To make it possible to send SMS to do some action
depending on SMS-Text.
Maybe I will add possibility to add sveral Trigger-entries in SMSLauncher.ini
to make it possible to send SMS to make different tasks in Phone.
..................................................................................
Exampel of SMSLauncher.ini
(Use 1 line in SMSLauncher.ini like the one below)
467;X;X;HKCU;System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread;Count;1;076-11223344;133
====== SYNTAX SMSLauncher.ini ==========
aa;bb;cc;dd;ee;ff;gg;hh;ii
aa= SMS.Number/SMS.Body to trigg SMSLauncher actions
bb= Path to EXE for Shell Command
cc= Argument for Shellcommand
dd= Root For Registry writing
ee= Path to Registry Entry
ff= Registry ENtry Name
gg= Value to set
(1= Allways set to 1)
(+1= Add 1 to existing value)
(-1= Subtract 1 from existing value)
hh= A number to reply Incoming SMS to
ii= Number to Your V-MAIL
(If this is set, Reg-Count will be set to 0)
All positions (9 Pos) must be set,
if no action will be used, set Upper case X
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exampel only Reg change trigged on 123456 and removed Reg-Count on V-Mail number 133
123456;X;X;HKCU;System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread;Count;1;X;133
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When use Commandline instead of SMSLauncher.ini,
use same syntax but replace ';' with a space ' '
in commandline. like this
\Windows\SMSLauncher.exe 123456 X X HKCU System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread Count 1 X 133
understood. everything is clear. well done.
i have already written my ini-file, directory has been created and everything is prepared to start testing.
this app will eliminate lots of screen tappings.
Hopefully a working version
Read Readme-FIle for exact syntax in SMSLauncher.ini
(9 entries must be inside it, set as Upper Case X
if nothing to do in some section)
2 DLL's must be in same foldeer as EXE-file
Phone.dll + Outlook.dll
It will start with Form Shown,
You have to Minimize it Yourself,
either by getting menu and pick on "Today Scrreen"
or any other available way to do it.
does not work at the moment.
my ini looks like this:
5500;X;X;HKCU;System\State\Messages\sms\Unread;vmail;1;X;5500
have also tried it with
Mailbox;X;X;HKCU;System\State\Messages\sms\Unread;vmail;1;X;5500
sms comes in and regkey still stays at 0
on the other hand your app has started to send out continuously my last sms i have been sending out 6 hours ago
Looks like Your Reg-Path is wrong,
try this
5500;X;X;HKCU;System\State\Messages\vmail\Line1\Unread;Count;1;X;5500
(WATCH OUT! NO SPACES IN MY LINE ABOVE UNREAD with No Space inside)
It is working perfectly for me
Is 5500 the number You call to Your Voicemail ?
Is it also the number from where You got sms to tell You got VMAIL ?
yes 5500 is the number from where i receive the sms from and which is my voicebox number.
i think it is not a good idea to use the reg key above as the os is using this key as well.
if you set the value to 1 you will see a vmail-icon appearing in your taskbar.
just to be sure: it should work with any other reg key, shouldn't it?
Hmm I must have totally missed You :-(
I thought You wanted the soft to make your phone
show You got VMail even though You only have a common
SMS from Your Provider telling You have VMail.
I thought problem was You didn't get
Your Phone to "understand" it was Vmail.
Anyway,
Soft can run any app in your phone (with or without Argument)
trigged upon Incoming Phone-Nr or keyword in SMS.Body.
It can reply Incoming SMS.Body+Nr to
Phone-Number of Your Choice.
It can also set Registry-Key of Your Choice
Same Reg-Key can be set to 0 if You call Nr of Your Choice.
no, you understood me totally right. the only "difference" might be that i am using homescreen++ to handle sms and email notifications. i have even disabled the notification bubbles as they annoy me...
bottom line: great work and support! will test it out tonight
Additional Info ...
If You use SMS.Text for triggering,
Word/Words are Case Sensitive
rgds Eurocrypt
Ideas:
Is there need for more functions..
Also Trigg it on incoming PhoneCall ?
Multiple Lines/Triggers in SMSLauncher.ini
to do different tasks depending on Number/SMS.Text ?
Send SMS to change Parameters ?
(<password:..new config..assword>)
Any other ideas are welcome .
I´m hobbyist Just started to play with this,
so to complex tasks are not possible for me to handle.
i would do the following:
possible to run smslauncher in background, i.e. hidden app so that it does not appear in the task manager (i have configured my device to close all apps when locking screen). in this case we need an extra switch to close smslauncher.
another function might be to delete the sms where smslauncher is set to beactivated. i.e. if sms from 5500 activates smslauncher, your app should execute the command line or set the registry value AND (if an optional switch /d is set) instantly delete the sms.
you could also think about, what you proposed, to make text and sender's name available in a registry key.
a lot of people here e.g those who have put together their own manila style GUI, will thank you for this as there is currently no easy way to display sms/email information on the todayscreen.

adjust keyboard backlight timeout ?

Hi!
Is there a way to adjust the keyboard's backlight timeout? I'd like it to stay on much longer...
thx

anyone????
You can modify it, and tons more with Advanced Config http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool.html

I looked into this when I first got my T-Mo TP2. I found the registry area, modified it, and it didn't change the timing.
I think this is yet ANOTHER instance where (starting with WinMo 6.0) the registry is not the storage area for the final values; instead these values are kept in a seperate file... and then transfered to the registry upon bootup.
If this is the case, all one needs do is find the actual file where the keyboard backlight timing values are stored, edit that file, then reboot (hoping the newer values get loaded into the registry).
yes i tried advanced config, but that didnt work...
Which file are you talking bout?

I wish I could tell you the name; but I haven't found it yet.
But this situation is akin to the audio values located in the registry. They are really stored elsewhere - in the AudioPara3 file; and upon power-on... that's where the registry gets the values from. If you do a regedit only, the changed settings won't hold-up after a power cycle (that's why this change can't be accomplished via a regedit alone). And I'm fearful this backlight setting is also stored elsewhere... I just can't find the file. :banghead:

Here's another instance and it's even worse since it's a user settable option! Through the GUI Settings I adjust the Backlight time out: "Settings -> All Settings -> System -> Power -> Advanced" - "Turn off backlight if device is not used for". When I update the value it only persists until the next Soft Reset. How annoying....
It sounds like the same type of problem where at boot time the registry values are overwritten. Who would devise such a backwards system????

keyboard backlight not on long enough
This thread has been around for 2 months but there seems to be no answer. Does somebody please know how to make the keyboard backlight stay on longer?

Well the only place I can find is .. all settings / personal / buttons / backlight
It says : Enable Keyboard backlight auto sensor ...
I unchecked it .. and the light on the keyboard stays on as long as its open :/
that keyboard backlight
Tried that. Changing Settings doesn't do anything, nor does changing the registry entries, not does using Advanced Config. Has anyone solved this question of keeping the keyboard backlight on for longer?

Want short cut link for Phone Sounds

I installed Easy Launcher which puts short cuts on your today screen. I want to install a shortcut for the Settings-> Personal ->Phone. One day I will buy some software (maybe someone knows of some for free), but everyday at work I set my phone to no ring, and at the end of the day I want to set it back to ring. A short cut on my today screen would help.
Thanks

Why not just use the hardware volume button. Press it up or down, the HTC volume screen appears, select SILENT, and you are done! Or you could set it to vibrate.
I listen to music all day on head phones. I need the volumne up for the music but do not want the phone ring in my cubicle environment. Especially if I get up, leave my desk, and my phone has been ringing nobody appreciates it.

Well, you could disable the HTC Notifications manager. Then you would have the old-style dialogs for your data connection and volume. I mention it because the stock WM dialogs have separate volume controls for Phone and Device.
It is a registry tweak where you change the name of the dll file to something different. When you reset the notifications should be stock instead of HTC.
do you know what the registry change would be to remove the htc notifications?

local machine / services / notificationmanager / Dll.
Change it from NotificationManager.dll to NotificationManager2.dll and reset the device. If it works, when you click on the speaker icon in the task bar, you should get a dialog for just the volume.
I haven't tried this with my particular version of WM 6.5.x, but it worked on the stock WM 6.5.
could be done by simple script.
I have a script which automatically change backlight settings every morning and evening.
it's very similar thing, you only need to change values for registry entries in it.
Suppose on rhodium volume could be change directly through registry.
or you may find it on xda or I'll send it if you want.
these are those entries:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume]
"Ringer"=dword:99999999
from 00000000 to FFFFFFFF = level
and for vibrate:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0]
"Sound"="*none*"
OR
"Sound"="*vibrate*"

Brenda, did you ever get this working (a shortcut to a specific place in settings)? If not I've come across another way to accomplish it that's pretty simple, let me know and I can create the link for you to put on your startmenu or wherever
create an ANSI file backlightTimes.lnk with this text inside:
1#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,3,1
==
1# - num of chars -ignored by new wm
ctlpnl - calling cpl files
cplmain - main cp applet
3 - internal code - ID of applet window
1 - open on 2nd TAB
problem is some contrl panel windows are ignoring last parameter (TAB) and this one is, so you need to click again, then make your settings and click to confirm. Still not too easy

Yup, my thoughts exactly

[Ideas] Bada Modifications.

I would like to hear your ideas for Bada modifications, what things do you want to see done to Bada?
Everything and anything goes! (within reason)
My wishlist.
-
Delete some unneeded "Icons"... because I can remove Facebook, Twitter ...
But few JAVA Midlets are somewhere protected against remove.
I was able to delete jar, jad, Icon but Icon still there in menu
Where is the Database entry to clear?
Preinstalled Widget too...
-
120 Apps Limit...
Hmm, there are other ways to replace ... BUT why 120 Apps are Maximum?
-
Developer signed Apps are only 1 possible to activate...
bada SDK Samples for instance...
Via Broker.exe Install seems more then 1 work at the same time... Why?
And how to expand to install more then 1 App at same time.
-
Filemanager bada App with Access to internal Filesystem.
I'm sure that Samsung will not allow this on their Store... but is it possible.
Someone told their are no APIs to access internal folder...
maybe invetigation of apps_compressed.bin will help to find "Commands"...
-
Folder delete in internal FS
I can create folder with PSAS, but can't delete. They are writeprotected.
More ideas hopefully later...
Best Regards
well for instance i wanna change the keyboard to either htc or iphone.... this one is too crammy like congested.... wanna have a spacious potrait keyboard......... and with universal setting like if i wanna activate predective text it should apply everywhere... not just in messages........ and it should always stay on..........
secondly i wud like to see more UI modifications beyond just themes...... like changing the status bar or the way notifications occur and stuff........... custom roms maybe... variety is a good thing...
I'd like to see:
Ability to create widgets or widget like apps using system parameters..
For eg: GPRS data, browser bookmarks, setting wallpapers etc..
Customization of the top Notification Panel buttons.
Filemanager Drag and Drop to move files and folders
A memory cleanup application.
Big Aspect sized thumbnails for videos.. now we cannot distinguish videos in thumb view.
More Right click options in files/folders - i.e., Click and Hold to show Menu options to Move/Copy/Delete/Rename/Open with/etc..
I'd like to see shortcuts (with names) like on Android and continous autofocus in the video cam !
My ideas or things I want in Bada
Here are my ideas :
1. Ability to replace whole UI like Android.
2. Folders in Menu.
3. Text-reflow in Browser.
5. Unlimited Menu pages and Home screens.
6. Unlimited SMS storage (why you want to restrict us to 1300 on a SMARTPHONE )
7. Sending Group SMS to any number of people (can be very useful for certain type of
businesses. Did u think about it Sammy ?)
8. Auto-hide of Notification bar and Lower bar after certain amount of time or on Tap.
9. Different Wallpapers on every home screen.
10. Better animations.
11. Smaller icons. 4x5 grid with an option to change to suit consumers' taste.
12. Notification Drop down to have buttons for APN, Brightnesss.
13. In-built Backup-Restore app for all phone data. User should be able to select to what he
wants to backup or restore.
14. Highly efficient GPS. (I would not like to buy a BMW whose tires I have to fix. I have
paid for it, btw.)
15. Better Facebook(with chat), Twitter and IM app atleast Gtalk. Current one plainly sucks
16. Various bugs in Messaging to be fixed.
17. Select all and Mark as read option in Email app.
18. Universal availability of Social Hub Premium.
19. A little better sound output through speakers (it is based on personal taste only )
20. Text-reflow and Pinch-to-zoom in Email app.
21. Soft buttons for Menu and Back.
22. All applications to have Exit button.
more to come.................
Out of all these I have already solved 7th but then everybody can't make changes to the file system.
Yes, I do love Bada and its potential. Its simplicity is killing feature
Thanks !
I think user experience would benefit by implementing GPU acceleration in UI and browser as in IOS and Windows phone 7.

Hi all. @TigerCourage on AF I play with the camera settings file "CamSetting.ini" in folder "Registry" can be seen with the program "sTune" (I started some new options "IntelligentAuto" I do not know what does). There is also an option to focus on video recording "RecordFocusMode" from "0" to "2" default "0". Try setting but do backup before (right click and copy).
Try my sample file

Doesn't work mate, I tried copying your file and then doing a soft rest and it didn't work. I also tried playing with options like RecordFocusMode and IntelligentAuto but still the same...
It would be very AWESOME if we get continous autofocus on Wave!

Hey how you copy a file because the file copied to the phone is only by drag and drop. If you are able to copy my files when you start the camera will see the icon "sA" without restarting the phone. Otherwise the effect of the settings I have attached the file with changed sound of shooting

Yes I copied by drag and drop and I've seen your "sA" icon at the beginning but the continous autofocus is nowhere to be seen...
Is there anyway to save camera shoot images in uncompressed format so that the quality of captured images will be maximum?
I would like to have a "fast-access" GPS button - next to the mute button ("green" menu). I'm really sure that this function will be very popular!

Here are my ideas :"
about ur 7 th point (group sms to any no. of people).. this can be done using stune... jst modify the ini of messages settings there the limit is set to 10.. i dont remember the exact folder
and too lazy to look ... jst play around and see if u find it. otherwise i'll find it for u
I would like to have more keyboard languages (with T9 or whatever it's called on the Wave).
I have seen a friend of mine with a Wave from Vodafone, and he has 30+ langage/keyboard optinons. On my wave (normal German FW) I have about 10. No Cyrillic characters, no Chinese, no Arabian...
How am I supposed to use the full functionality of such a wonderful phone if i can't write an email to a friend /business associate in Russia for example.
I could grump about it a few more pages, but the essence should already be clear
P.S. AFAIK the languages are stored in the CSC flash file, so it's not so easy to "just add" some in, but I hope someone from samsung might also see this and think about it.
Android.=D
If i where a moderator or administrator i would ban that guy for inciting flame wars...
