WARNING! If you change your OEM too many times you will break the DRM and have to reset your phone to download/use apps from the Marketplace. Use at your own risk.
Ok so I was playing around with my registry on my Focus and I found if I changed the following key:
Code:
HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemName
from SAMSUNG to either HTC or LG, in the Marketplace it changes from Samsung Zone to the other OEM's app repositories.
Also if you put in something like MICROSOFT it removes any OEM repository.
I also attempted to change the MOName from "AT&T Wireless" to "Microsoft" in order to get rid of AT&T's branding in the Marketplace but I couldn't get it to change. I think it might be linked to the SIM card. If anyone has any ideas please let me know as I hate with a passion carrier branding.
Valid OemName Strings (case sensitive):
SAMSUNG
HTC
LG
Works great with my Focus. Ive downloaded the HTC sound enhancer and works great so far. I also downloaded the Piano app on the LG store and it works perfectly as well.
Hi i'm new at this and i wanna know step by step how to change that registry key hope you could help me

For LG Optimus 7 users, a restart is required.
Now Zune finds the update 7392 for my Omnia 7. But I guess it's better to wait for the fixed Omnia Nodo, right?
hey guys, i cant find any location as "HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\OemName"

When is now? After you changed it to HTC/LG? If you did, it's indeed better to wait for the official re-release.
Hello guys !
Im working with a HTC Mozart, T-Mobile GER Version 7932 with Chevron Unlock
With Julien Schapmans Registry Editor beta 1.1.0.0 i got the message "Acess to HKLM/System is restricted", and there is no "Platform" Folder inside.
I can find a "Platform" folder ind the HKLM Folder, but the acess is restricted too and there is just a "Default" string inside...
Any suggestions ?^^
Does indeed work fine on my LG Quantum but a lot of the HTC apps(Hub, Notes, Converter) would download but not run. The only ones I was able to run successfully were Attentive Phone and Sound Enhancer. Anyone else have better luck?

The registry editor you are using might not have full permissions to "view" like LG's MFG tool or Heathcliff's Root Tool's for the Samsung phones. But you should be able to "write" to any device using some tricks found here.

This is just me but I would NOT update while any of these values are changed, as the updates might be built for specific devices/OEM's and I would hate to see you brick your phone.

Some apps require OEM specific dll's and they will not run, and some do a check to make sure it is a valid device, this might be able to be fixed via some more registry tweaks.
@samsung users..
take this tool:
http://dotconn.de/main/news/homebrew-wp-root-tools-0-3-alpha/
Here are some XAP's to deploy provxml's to the device for those of you with an HTC device since we don't have access to that registry path. You can use schap's Advanced Config to provision the files once deployed.
Chrism583, do the two HTC apps you downloaded work on the LG? Wondering if they require specific hardware.
Just tried attentive phone and it wouldn't keep any of the checks/settings I set. I guess it doesn't work on the LG.
edit: just tried sound enhancer and same thing.

probably same as on LGs. these apps are hardware specific and either need extra registry settings or system files to work. or the specific calls to the hardware simply don't exist on our phones.
Thats it? ONE REGISTRY KEY??? Amazing!
oh, and Samsung focus (at&t), I downloaded the LG guitar learning app and it totally restarted my device... maybe it's just me. LG piano app works perfectly however not much else does. Oh, and changing your OEM to Dell doesn't give u dell app store (maybe we have someone with a DVP who has registry access and can check what their key says).

Actually DVP owners don't even need registry access. All we need is for them to go to 'Settings' -> 'About' -> 'Model: XXXX XXXX'
The 'Model' is actually two keys, the first set of X's are the 'OemName' key the second set are either the 'MODeviceName' or 'OEMDeviceName' key, I'm not sure which as both on mine read the same 'SGH-i917' however if I had to guess I would bet it's 'OEMDeviceName'
On a side note, does Dell even have an OEM repository?
Edit: I just tried 'NOKIA' for the fun of it... nothing. Wishful thinking
EnableSTK v1.0 beta!
Enables SIM Toolkit for 1st Generation WP7 Devices!
Install the first attached XAP file (marked EnableSTK_0.8.xap), then run the app, restart your devic. Hopefully SIM Toolkit would be installed in the settings folder.
[Please note that this app is still in it's beta. If it doesn't work, please PM me.]
Please inform me whether this works!!
Feedback will be appreciated
[NOTE: Your Device NEEDS Interop for it to work]

I have found a different way of enabling SIM Toolkit on WP7 1st Gen Devices after looking thru the FieldTest registry and found that it may be similar to the registry for STK. Just to confirm, can anyone with a 2nd Gen device with STK give me the registry entries for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SimToolkit ? Please be cooperative and help me out here.

Hi mate, I don't have a 2nd generation device, but I have an HD2 runing Tango, and I have 2 values:
Default ( undefined value )
UIProfileSupport ( 3702783 )
Can u tell me please how do you activated this so I can do the same?
Thanks
I specifically need the entries from someone with SIM Toolkit enabled as they should have different values. 1st gen only have UISupport entry
[EDIT: Anyone using a Optimus 7 (or others, you can try it yourself) would notice in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FieldTest there are provxml, license file and AppID directories which SIM Toolkit has the EXACT same files (not exactly but exact type.) but what I think is that there are missing registry entries which is usually why whenever you try sideloading STK_Application.xap it won't work. I've tried deleting the entries in FieldTest and replacing it with the UIProfileSupport entry and it reacts the EXACT same way STK_Application.xap reacts without its registry files. I think I have found a way but haven't tested it yet in case it corrupts my year old Optimus 7 so I need to confirm with anyone else with SIM Toolkit enabled on their handset and is Developer Unlocked]
Yes, I am 13 years old and I figured this out myself
I hope you are able to figure this out. Thanks for the effort.
what is sim toolkit?
It is your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) applications. Carrier "apps". In India, it is known to be able to transfer prepaid credits to another device. Unknown for US though. In India which WP7 was recently launched, phones come without SIM applications which is a huge disappointment but I plan on bringing it to 1st Gen Devices since it is already available on 2nd Gen devices (e.g. devices when purchased, version is 7.10.7720.68 or 7.10.7740 or 7.10.8107.79) which (if I'm not wrong) is not available in India yet (I only know of the Nokia Lumia 800 for sale in India already) so... yeah...
*So many views of this thread but so little good samaritans who actually replied*
(Tech JOKE of the day: Want your computer to run 80x faster? Delete system32 or syswow64)
on optimus 7 is only one entry: Value name- UIProfileSupport; Value Type- DWord; Value data- 3702783
Any update here?
I've just received a Lumia 800 for personal use. Now what I need is to jailbreak it and crack open the regsitry and BOOM! SIM Toolkit for everybody!

when can u do that?
Check out the Lumia forum For Custom Rom. Though It needs some bootloader which is not locked.
Could this be a use for us CDMA US subscribers with a locked SIM slot ?

Hey there Alvin,
Did you get a chance to crack the STK problem fro 1st Gen devices? If you did you will be a hero to many Windows Phone fans across the world.
Im currently working with Heathcliff74 on Interop Unlock for (uncertain) ALL devices. I'm 90% complete. Stay connected. I may be a hero for Windows Phone altogether.

Do you have a rough idea of the devices that will be supported so we can start making the users' heads get filled with excitement? :-D
I'm currently still working on Interop Unlock for ALL devices. It's hard work. As for SIM Toolkit it will most likely work on ALL 1st Gen or devices without SIM Toolkit but the device has to be Unlocked. I'm just waiting for Nokia to release the Network Setup app and I'll get to work immediately.

You're too, too much optimistic
C'mon guys - don't keep down this larva of dormant Recognized Developer
AlvinPhilemon, kid, I know perfect accomplice for you - this guy.
Have a look at his statement - it fits your aims and ambitions... At least - you can grow up together....
I'm not too optimistic. Its due to the fact that the OEM Inbuilt apps have registries that help it work properly. Which I suspect is what stops SIM Toolkit from working even if its sideloaded since its registries are missing. For my Interop Unlock project I found an exploit in the system which is the CAB updates. It will only send to device if the CABs have an MS cert which with the MS Cert, you can pretty much send ANYTHING to the device. I have gotten hold of the cert but the tool used to sign the CABs doesn't allow me to set a password for the MS Cert. So I'm working on that. Interop Unlock is my first priority which (unsure) MAY work on all devices. But interop comes first as i need to interop my lumia to gain registry acces which then kills 2 birds with one stone. So help me guys. I'm currently working with a recognised developer on interop unlock so stay logged. Coming soon in either Mid-End July or Start-Mid August.
Happy Development

How does one take a screen shot of the screen? For example on iPhone you can hit the home button + Power button and it takes a screen-shot of anything on your screen. Is that possible on Lumia 900? or WM phone for that matter?
Any help is sincerely appreciated. Thank you and I appreciate your time
I don't think you can without an app to do so.
I have search and people say if your phone is jailbroken, you can use flinx (xda developer) software to take screenshot.
The only way to do this is with a root unlocker installed, like Heathcliff's, then sideloading a homebrew screen capture app. Unfortunately, there are no root exploits (yet) for the Lumia 900, although it is on Heathcliff's to-do list.
how I can install applications. XAP my lumia 900 from the PC
You have to make your device developer-unlocked (by subscribing as a WP developer, which cost 99$ a year).
Unlocking your device in any other method (interop-unlock/full-unlock) is NOT possible at the moment, as no-one managed to break through Nokia's protection yet...
Application not available
you may need to update the phone software, the application is exclusive of another mobile operator or the application is not available in your region
this is what tells me if they know of anything that can help me I'll be thankful
I have a lumia 900 cyan, ebay unlocked code for claro Dominican
What? How are you trying to install this, and what are you trying to install?
Try to make your post clear, I can't guess what you're trying to do unless you tell me...

ok good... happens I am trying to install the application on nokia bluetooth shared through marketplace but will not let me, so I'm trying to install it from the pc out why the first question did clarify in another message that was trying to do... I have the latest version of Windows Phone 7.8 for att
Ah, the BT Share app... For some strange reason, it doesn't work for me as well - and I too have a Lumia 900 (unlocked) with WP7.8.
I get the same error as you. I don't know why, but it 'thinks' you (and me) don't have a Nokia device - the BT Share app is Nokia exclusive.
I have no idea why it happens, sorry...
(Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I don't live in the US? Maybe the app is region-locked or something...)
Hi!
Is there any way/hack to enable call recording on Lumia 640 (or any other lumia that isn't 950/950xl)? Still no words if Microsoon will implement it in W10M for other devices.
I think it will not come for existing devices ( non w10 flagship devices)
That's really bad if it stays only for flagships. My job depends on calls recording, I guess I'll switch back to Android...
Who cares about your job ?
550 is hardly a flagship and has it (you must manually select Windows Sound Recorder as associated app in system/phone settings!)
Tried writing 0 to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings? You can do that by injecting CustomPFD in the "Preview for developers" app!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lumia-950-xl/general/lumia-950xl-mtp-t3304658
Your phone probably has an easier way!
I need the value of PreferedRecordingApplication , from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings. Someone with a flagship ?
Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder_8wekyb3d8bbwe
no option in system/phone setting?
Have you all keys from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings?
I need to compare with a flagship registry. Who can post those reg?

If only Microsoft would be so logical... I don't think it can be done with a registry trick. Changing TextReplySetting value immediately changes the switch in Settings - System - Phone. Changing recording related values in registry doesn't seem to have any effect. I hope I'm wrong.
Maybe something is needed here too:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CallAndMessagingEnhancement\
I have only BlockingApp and CallOriginApp subkeys there.
If only a Lumia 550/950 user would be so kind to check these keys ...
Well...inside a lumia 550, 950 ffu file mounted we cant find some registry?
Here is another idea: reset the phone, change model name to Lumia 950 and then update Phone & Recorder from Store. Could it work?
No need to reset the phone... will try.
I guess you have tried call recorder apps.
No, will try to mode my phone as 950. Soon.
