[WIP] Registry hack to enable ICS settings on Samsung Omnia 7

Hello,
I own a Samsung Omnia 7 (no carrier locked) and mine is distributed without internet sharing availiable: this option is now shown on my phone.
Of course I tried all the hacks suggested here, but they do not work with this phone. Surfing this and other forums I decided to try to find a solution myself, and I would like to share my findings here, so to get some advices from more-expert-wp7-exploiters and to share, if I find, a solution.
My approach now is to surf the registry looking for the correct keys to change to enable it.
I am using, as source, the provxml (gen2) provided by voluptuary here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19083920&postcount=1
These are the steps I have in mind:
1- find and enable the show-up of "ICS" option in the settings menu surfing the reg
2- using the information in the above mentioned provxml file, try to use ICS.
Current knowledge (I just started)
- the "phone settings menu" items seem to be ruled by HKEY/Local Machine/Software/Microsoft/Settings: here I find all the descriptions of the items shown in the phone settings menù
I hope someone will cooperate with me, sharing knowledge.
Thanks,
p.s. if this thread is misplaced in this sub-forum, I sincerely apologize and ask to move it in the most appropriate one.

What exactly are you trying to do? I have enabled ICS on my Omnia7 through the registry just fine, though it needed some editing after 8107 update.

Hello,
thanks a lot for replying to this post.
I am trying to enable ICS on my Omnia W (not Omnia 7) which never had ICS (the option was not and is not present under my "Settings" page).
Using "WP7 Root Tools v0.9" I applied manually the registry settings found in the provxml (gen2) provided by voluptuary here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...20&postcount=1
(I must admit I was not able to add the "boolean" values, such as
Code:
<characteristic type="HotSpot">
<parm name="Enabled" datatype="boolean" value="true" />
because WP7 Root Tools does allows only for DWORD/String values)
but without success: I was not even able to have the ICS option shown up in the settings page.
Do you have any suggestion ?

The gen2 should work just fine on your Omnia W, I've personally used it on my mother-in-laws Focus Flash (same as Omnia W) and it worked just fine. The values in the provxml are all valid and correct to enable ICS so if you can't get it to work the it is something specific to your device that is going wrong. Basically if you can interop unlock to use Root Tools you can get ICS using my XAP.

It should works fine also on Omnia W/Focus Flash with the latest update installed? My friend can't activate ICS on his W with 8107...
I also have the W, but branded VOD-IT that comes with ICS enabled: if I revert back to 7740 and then I debrand and update via Zune to the 8107, will I loose the ICS service?
Thanks...

Depends on what firmware you have but if you can interop unlock then you can get ICS.

thanks a lot for taking time to help me.
In fact I am interop unlocked via windowsbreak,which uses the same provxml technique as your files, but when I apply yours, I do not see the "system tweaks" in the diagnosis app,I see only the standard ones plus windowbreak one,this is why I am trying with the manual approach.
I tried also uninstalling diagnosis and repeating the procedure from scratch, but I am stuck at the same point.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks again.

Did you update your phone after you used WindowsBreak? Cuz if you did that's your problem, you updated your firmware. If not... well then it should work.

Yes, I did updated my phone after the windows break, but I am still interop unlocked and I can still see the "windowbreak" inside the "GPS manager" diagnosis menù.
I applied manually all the registry settings in your gen2 provxml file, setting the boolean val as DWORDS (as suggested by drkfngthdragnlrd), but I still cannot see the ICS option in my settings menu.
Any clues ?

I'm in the same situation... If I restore the old firmware, then I enable ICS and finally I update my Windows Phone, the ICS still here?

ICS should still be there, infact if you update with CAB sender you can op to NOT install the firmware update. Just install the OS update. In order to ensure that you don't break future update you need to be sure to include all the language CAB's for the languages currently on your phone. If you do that you will be fine. Heathcliff74 has tools to help you figure out what CAB's you need to send over in his CAB update thread.

Sorry, I was wrong when I says that CAB sender brokes Samsung update on Omnia W.
I reverted back to 7720 and then updated to 8107 via Zune: then I've unbranded the phone to recive the Samsung update that returned the famous error 8018001E... So it's an incompatibility of the Samsung update with my (and other VOD-IT) Samsung Omnia W. Sorry for the OT and thanks...

Interop Tools Appx for Windows 10 Mobile - registry editor

Interop Tools is a brand new registry editor that works on Windows 10 Mobile, It allows you to View, Browse and Edit of registry entries. Great news is that this tool doesn’t need your device to be interop-unlocked for this. The tool has been developed by Gustave M, who is a well-known Windows enthusiast and developer.
How to Download & Install Interop Tools on Windows 10 Mobile:
1. Download the Interop tools Appx file from attachment, unzip
2. Now all you need to do is to turn on the developer option by going to Settings—>Update & Security–>For Developer–>Select Developer Mode and select “yes” when prompted. This enables side-loading of apps.
You should be now able to install “Interop Tools” by tapping on the Appx that you have downloaded in first step.
3. You should be ready to have some fun, though be careful before editing registry unless you know what you are doing.
4. Once installed, the app appears under installed apps
The tool is not Lumia-specific but seems access to restricted keys is only for Lumias.
Source
http://www.windowscentral.com/interop-tools-windows-10-mobile
edit: if you have problem with newer version, simple uninstall app from storage, restart phone and install again.
Interop Tools Beta 1.7.157.0 (fbl_release(gustavem).160621-0900) changelog:
+ New helper runtime component, all core registry editing functionality have been migrated to registryhelper.winmd, as such, there might be new bugs, especially in the registry browser. Please report them if you find any.
+ WinPRTUtil is now also used in the browser and in registry value deleting operations.
~ Fixed an ux issue with light theme enabled.
~ Fixed an issue where HKD would be incorrectly named in certain areas.
~ Fixed an issue where the tool would incorrectly report the state of offline charging when loading the page.

you cant. this is only for WP8.1 devices with W10M... not for native W10M devices (550, 650, 950, 950XL)... you can install on Lumia 950/950XL and change some registry values but you cant access to MTP to use adblock (change hosts file)

Can this be uninstalled from the phone?
EDIT: nvm. I got it. Disable developer mode, try to open app, get error, uninstall

The file works perfectly in nokia lumia 520 windows 10 mobile build 10586.242
but I have a question
which is the benefit of this application?
I have a nokia lumia 520 with windows 10 mobile build 10586,242
but still not unlocked for use XAP files and appx
so this application can give me those benefits?
I would like to know more about how to install files with this application appx
thank you ... is great news for our lumias

Yeah, I know, that's what I meant- This is great progress from the old way of getting access to these things, but what would really be nice is something similar that allowed adblock.

Hi
I tried changing the video resolution (VideoResolution) registry value from 3 to 4. This opens 4k recording resolutions in camera app on my LUMIA 730 dual sim and also the SLOW MOTION option in video recording. But when recording is pressed it shows the device can't save the video. Im new to this, so if anyone can help to find me any turnarounds or is this due to hardware limitations. Thanks

Looks like file explorer. A search button can.t be aded?

Changelog:
+ The registry browser value editing dialog now displays the value type and name.
+ The registry browser now correctly handles write errors and will display them to you.
+ The registry editor now saves the history and has a new clear all button to clear all of them.
+ You can now tap a history item in the registry editor and it will fill all fields for you.
~ Improved the Registry browser ui again.
~ The app is now a regular app and not a settings app as there was many requests for this.
~ New icon for the app.
~ Small ui changes on the welcome page.
~ Bug fixes.
Known issues:
* It appears there is an editing issue for the pagingfiles on redstone, where the value is not set, this might be due to the key being reverted automatically. This is under inspection.
? It appears there is an editing issue for the pagingfiles on threshold, where some ";" appears instead of spaces, I can't reproduce it on my side, so if you could confirm or not confirm that to me on twitter that would be great.
Side notes:
* I know I need to add a way to alert from the app of new updates, this is under consideration.
* A small tweak page is in the works, if you have tweak ideas please tweet me them with the page where you found them or yourself if you found it, so I can properly credit peoples.

You may ad poweroff charging. Sure will be a huge succes.

Hi. I am unable to install it. It just closes when tapping from device and confirming install. When in AppDeploy app, I got this error "Error - There is an error in XML document (18, 15)." I'm using Nokia 925 Windows 10 10586.318. Please help what am I missing here?

Kid's korner in Windows 10 Mobile version 1607

Recently I explored apps list in Interop Tools and found an app called 'Kid's corner'. I started it and it seemed to work.
So, as I understand, Microsoft didn't delete Kid's corner from the OS, but now it can't be started from Settings.
The question is: how to pin a tile or add a link to app to Settings to start it without Interop Tools?

The latest IT version (Beta 10) has a 'Run' button at the app page.

So, interoptool need a pin to start button for any of these hidden apps.

how to prevent windows 10 mobile automatic update ?

Hi,
Is there a way i can prevent automatic OS updates on win 10 mobile?
Thx

FYI, I asked because when I reset my HP Elite x3 and install my previous phone (lumia 1520) I have a release of w10m prior to the Creators Update. It is so much better; CU took away some features I liked, such as App Corner and Facebook connect. I was getting them on my HP until the CU takes them away.

Didn't try this method but, search for the update service usually called wuauserv and disable it. You can search the service in the registry HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services. Good luck!

HKLM -> SYSTEM -> CurrentControlSet -> Services -> wuauserv
You'll see a value called Start, change it's value to 4.
Read the path carefully, is CurrentControlSet not CurrentControlSet001

What happens if flashed to a non-Samsung eMMC device?
Thanks for sharing by the way...I almost want to get another 830 now.

It won't brick the Lumia, size of partition is slightly different in every eMMC from other OEMs so missing baits will stop WPI from carry on.

Thank you, with flashing EFIESP.bin i unbricked my lumia530.

I hope someone does the same for l1020

18 months ago we did it...

There are two WiFi settings pages in Windows 10 Mobile 1703+. One is visible, the second is hidden and can be started from Interop Tools Applications menu.
The tweak 'static IP' works only with the hidden page.
