Updated Registry Editor

I have updated a registry editor (that works with HTC devices) that I found here on xda to work with non-interop unlocked devices (viewing only). If you want to edit entries you will have to add the interop line to the manifest file manually. If you don't know how to do this then look it up .
If the OP of this app has any issue with me doing this please contact me and I will take it down.
I made is so the search bar is hidden by default
Added Icons for folder vs. entry
Added custom splash and icons
Made it so you can use the back button. No more having to click [..]
Interop unlock not needed
Added a few paths that were missing from the old version
Added tilt effect to selected item in the list view. This makes it easier to identify which item you are actually clicking on
Added an exit button to close the application since you might not want to have to hit back a bunch of times.
If you have any suggestions please feel free to tell me
2011-11-17: Added exception handling

bleh, just realized I'm an idiot

I am glad I could be of service

Thank you a lot,great App!

It does not works on my HD2 does anyone tested working on HD2

THX, works fine on htc 7 pro

It does not works on my HD2.

So if this is a registry editor that works on mango htc devices.
Couldn't we interop unlock our HTC devices by just setting the max apps above 300?
I'm upgrading to mango this weekend and I would love to interop unlock my device so I can attempt to get internet sharing working.
With a cdma Sprint Arrive, there is no custom bootloader so interop unlocking is our only shot to get internet sharing working right now

If you read the first thread you will notice that you NEED interop unlock to write to the registry

App does not work on VZW HTC Trophy. It tries to launch for a second and then closes. Wonder if this is due to having the HTC updates that came after Mango?

On my fully updated HD7 with 7.10.7720 that is chevon unlocked, this app opens then closes right back. It allows me to see the screen for like half a sec.

What is the FULL version that you are running and what ROM are you using (stock or custom)?
For example my Radar is 7.10.7720.68

Stock 7.10.7720.68 - my phone is in my sig. Thanks

Hmm. I will test it on my sister's HD7 and see if I can debug it. Strange thing is I am not using anything that is specific to the Radar. Thank you for the Full version number. Those last 2 digits do help

There have been issues with some versions of DllImport on HTC Mango phones. The latest one works on my HD7 though. However, this app does not.
7720.68 (Retail build) but none of the HTC updates (so ComRegRW and ComFileRW still work). Speaking of which, I notice you've included them in the XAP - considering that they're useless on most HTC phones, that's not terribly good use of storage.
Love the icon/splash screen though. Also, thank you for not installing in the Settings hub; I actually really am not much of a fan of that.

Can you link me to a dll import file that does work on your device? I can update the code to see if that helps.

1.4 with the custom tile system seems to work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1006331. 1.3 didn't work for me, though I don't know why.

Hi,
it's really a nice looking register editor but unfortunately it doesn't work on my hd7, deepshining v3.1, 7.10.7720.68
i'm ready to use it instead of schaps one so...strenght & bravery bro!

Works on my titan. Really neat looking app.

Turns out it must be the NativeLibrary or the DMXMLCOM.dll that are giving people issues.
I just added some exception handling to the xap. Please re-download and try again. Provide me with the exception it throws.

[XAP] BlueManager (previous name BluePhoto Beta)

Hi all,
this is an application to transfer photo from your WP7 phone to a remote device or to receive photo from outside using OBEX OPP rules over Bluetooth.
It requires unlock device and it is based on DLLImport project.
At this stage application has been tested with photo exchange to a normal PC without problem.
Also receive photo from another phone (tested with Android and Symbian) seems to be ok.
Sending photo from WP7 to another phone seems to have some problems, but I've only tested it with an old 2.3.3 Android device and it is not enough to understand the real behaviour. I'd like to test with an ICS Android phone and/or Symbian to verify the functionality...
BluePhoto application is a photo viewer.
When you start the application you'll be ready to receive photo from external device.
You can also select a photo and decide to send it to a paired remote device.
To do that you have to choose remote device from paired bluetooth device list.
Attached images shows all the available commands.
Ciao
P.S1: remote devices have to be previously paired before exchanging file with your device.
P.S2: BluePhoto can handle files only when it is in foreground due to WP7 rules.
P.S3: photo are loaded and saved from Picture Hub.
P.S4: BluePhoto extends Photo Share contracts to be available directly from "Share" menu item of a picture.

Thanks for this application. I installed it on my dev unlocked Lumia 800. Here is what I found out so far:
Lumia 800 -> Android 2.3: won't work
Android 2.3 -> Lumia 800: won't work
(both times without any errors)
Lumia 800 -> Windows 8 (default Bluetooth stack): works fine, although the application reports "Error -2"
Windows 8 (default Bluetooth stack) -> Lumia 800: won't work, doesn't initiate a connection to the device
How to get it working (you don't need to pair the device):
1. Click on send file in Windows, a Windows will appear with nearby Bluetooth devices, yours won't show up
2. Navigate to the Bluetooth settings on your phone, your phone will now appear in the Device-Window on Windows 8. Wait until you see its name and select it. Uncheck secured connection
3. Click continue and select a file. Don't click send yet
4. Navigate back to BluePhoto
5. Click send on Windows 8
Nokia 6230 -> Lumia 800: works
The 6230 did not discover the Lumia, I had to go its Bluetooth settings and wait for it to show up in the 6230s list. The I switched back to BluePhoto and the transmission worked like a charm.
Lumia 800 -> Nokia 6230: works, although it finished again with "Error -2"
General feedback:
- The text is yellow. Would be better if the text is standard white (or black for white backgrounds)
- The icons on the buttons look a bit pixelated. Did you use the standard ones? You can open up blend to get a list of the icons that are delivered with the Windows Phone SDK. Also there are icons available here: http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/metrostudio
- My screen timed out while sending the file and turned off. Would be cool if auto-standy was disabled by the app.

Thanks for feedback.
With 2.3.3 Android device I know the problem in sending file to Android.
But receiving file (from Android to WP7) should work, my LG Optimus 7 can receive files from 2.3.3 Android device.
In case Win8 -> Lumia 800: PC BT stack say something? On WP7 device appear something?
Yellow text means that application is in server receiving mode.
Other colors are: Red when BT is off or no connection has been started and Green when WP7 is sending file.

Nice idea but not work (HTC Titan and Motorola Xoom ME with Android 3.2.2).

"Not work" is not useful feedback.
Have you tried to send photo from Titan to Android and viceversa?
Have you got some error messages?
Have you tried to transfer photo from WP7 to a PC?
In this phase I need to receive input to understand if there are some problem with specific device or there are some problem in the code.

Ok man, I'm sorry :
Fro Titan to Motorola work good.
From Motorola to Titan work.
I have to restart devic. I have one question where is saved files on WP 7 ? I sent file from Motorola, process worked but I don't see the file in albums.

Ok, I was now able to receive a file from the android device. I paired the device from the Send-File dialog on android and then switched back to BluePhoto on my Lumia and it just worked

Ah ok!
Photo will be saved on Picture Hub but only if they are JPEG.
Otherwise will not be possible to save because Picture Hub support only JPEG file.
You can try to see received photo using Picture Hub or using "reload" menu item on BluePhoto main page.
Thanks for your feedback!

BluePhoto saves received photo using MediaLibrary api, thus I don't know why you'll see inside in "My Documents" folder...

Do you want movie with my operations ? I sent file from Titan to Motorola and saved he in transfer folder, but when I sent file from Motorola to Titan, file doesn't in Photo Hub and saved in My Documents. I don't know why

Because transfer file over Bluetooth is useful in various situation, instead of using MMS feature.
When I want to exchange photo with others I'd like a pratical way to do that, as Bluetooth data exchange is.
In addition people usually have to pay to send a MMS.

Cellular data isn't work on L820

Celluer data
Try to reset your devicr its might solve your problem ..But its mine mobile data working perfeact.check the screenshot attached

I can not do a hard reset, since I can not move from the initial settings , the "next" button does nothing !

how is battery life and the overall performance?

Works pretty well on 925, I've done a slight modification in step 4 - used RM-1045 and Lumia 930 as a phone model and I didn't set operator to 000-DE (kept it 000-RU). Battery life looks alright, everything is fast. I can't understand why Microsoft decided not to support such high end phones as 920 and 925.

Lumia 1020 RS1 and DNG photos: gallery and Onedrive bugs!

Hi all,
I have updated a Lumia 1020 to Redstone 1 (14393.321) and everything is working fine (much faster than TH2, better battery life, glance reenabled): the only problems that I have found involve the management of the RAW DNG photos:
When I take a photo with the Lumia Camera (5MP + 38MP DNG), both pictures are showed in the Photo App even if I select the option to aggregate duplicated files (see pictures in the URL below). In TH2 (10586.545) the Photo App was working as expected.
http://it.tinypic.com/r/2rrxvuu/9
http://it.tinypic.com/r/156b7lf/9
On W10M (both TH2 and RS1) Onedrive automatically upload both the low resolution 5MP jpg and the 38MP (and 48mb) DNG files: with Windows Phone 8 and 8.1 wasn't possible to upload the RAW files, now is impossible to prevent them to be forcefully uploaded filling Onedrive and discharging the phone...
Does this happen on your unsupported Lumia shooting raw photos too? Have anyone found some solution or workaround (at least for the Photo App)? Any idea?

Lumia Camera
Hello, can you share info how to manage to use the Lumia Camera App on the RS1 Update?
I bought Lumia 1020 yesterday and updated it to the last officially released W10 Update and did hard reset after that.
After the hard reset I am the Lumia Camera app was deleted and there is no option installing it from the store, however I did found some xap files with the Lumia Camera but after installing it the app says that I need Lumia Denim Update to use the app, and after it the app closes.

I did a hard reset yesterday on my 1020. Afterwards I just searched for Lumia Camera in the W10M app store and installed it, then set it as the default camera app. Doesn't this work for you? Current build number is 1493.576 on my 1020.
Do you notice degraded quality of photography compared to WP8.1?

Running the same build, but installing the Lumia Camera App from the Microsoft Store is not an option for me - it says the "app is not compatible with your device". However I found a Nokia Camera xap file, installed it and update to Lumia Camera App and now everything looks fine.
About the degraded quality, I haven't had time to check the quality with the WP8.1, cuz I updated it as soon as I bought it. However I think to reinstall and use it with the official build /WP8.1/ from now on, cuz I had experienced some bugs and delays compared to my Lumia 735 running the same build.

Hmm, strange. It's odd because when I did the hard reset, Lumia Camera did disappear from the phone, which is why I had to reinstall it. One thing is that after the hard reset, the values used to upgrade the phone (phone name etc. set to match the values of the 950XL) revert back to the values of the 1020, which maybe the store recognizes as a valid phone for running Lumia Camera? Other than that, I've no idea why the Store lets me install Lumia Camera, but doesn't let you, on the same build with the same phone model.
My feeling is that with Lumia Camera, the fidelity of the photography is very much like WP8.1. Using the Windows Camera seems to apply the famous "finishing touches" or other sharpening algorithms which don't work so well on the 1020, but Lumia Camera has the original algorithms. Well, it's just an impression. However, if you plan to use the phone essentially as a camera, and don't need any of the features of WM10, it would make sense to go back to WP8.1. For example, stereo video recording doesn't work with the 1020 on WM10 -- you get mono sound only. And things are just snappier on this phone with WP8.1. I'm just wary of losing the ability to run UWP apps if I revert the phone, but I may do anyway, as I have a 950XL as my main phone, and probably will only use the 1020 for carefully composed photography from now on. In a way, I'm curious to see how long the 1020 is still able to run W10M, if it will make it through to the Creators' Update or not, which is why I haven't reverted yet.

Yeah, it will be nice knowing if the Lumia 1020 gets the Creators' Update, well I am curious if my Lumia 735 will get it too, cuz I use it as my main driver.
About the hard reset, it went the same as you said, after it the phone was marked again like Lumia 1020 by default, so I really do not know what the store did not allow me to install it. Now everything is fine, I just put the WP8.1 on it and ready to go test it tomorrow.

Sorry for the late response, I don't know why but I haven't been notified of your responses and quotes lately... As others stated in this thread, at first Lumia Camera was still there after the RS1 upgrade (I used the 635 specs in the registry, and everything reverted back to the ones of the 1020 automatically after the RS1 upgrade), version 4.10.0.6.
After the last upgrade (149393.1066) Lumia Camera disappeared, and I tried to get it back for a simple reason: Microsoft Camera only shots in 38mp jpeg mode with the Lumia 1020, so no supersampled 5mp jpeg and 38mp DND (the two reasons for which I still stick to this old great cameraphone).
I tried to deploy the following versions of the camera to no vail, either using 8.0 and 8.1 SDK or sideloading it from the internal memory:
Lumia Camera 4: v4.8.1.1 and v4.8.4.3
Lumia Camera 5: v5.0.2.42, V5.1.1.2 and v2015.1022.1227.410
Lumia camera 5 Beta: v2015.717.1205.3383
Well, Lumia Camera 4 won't install at all, Lumia Camera 5 says the app has been deprecated and force you to open the new Microsoft Camera, and Lumia Camera 5 Beta says that you'll need the Denim update (which I obviously have but it is not recognized).
As said by zagiame, the only way that worked was to install this special version of the old Nokia Camera (v.4.5.1.7) offered by WindowsMania.pl and then update it through the Microsoft Store to the latest version (v4.10.0.6):
http://www.windowsmania.pl/programy-504/%5Bxap-x2x%5D-nokia-camera-rs2-1-th2-spust-aparatu-31271/
Hope this will help somene!
ps: anyhow, even if I get back my 5mp jpeg and 38mp DNG, I still have the annoying problems described in the fist post (Onedrive upload and Galeery display of the DNG photos)!

You'll have to register to the site, then log in and put a "thank" to the first post: once you have done this, refresh the page and the download link will be visible. I have done this myself (I'm italian and I don't understand a single word of polish, but I have translated the whole registration page with google translate in english and then used it as a template to compile the real registration page in polish language).
If you encounter any problems write me back here!

Thanks! I registered and downloaded, it installed fine. But the Store app does not find any updates, so I can't install the new version.

Perfect, so now you have Nokia Camera v4.5, right? Have you tried to reboot the phone and search again (I suppose yes). Which device do you have? If you have an unsupported x2x phone, which registry infos have you changed to update to Redstone? Are they been reverted back to the original ones (if the Store recognize your device as a x50, Lumia Camera Classic won't be available)?

Yes, I have installed the old Nokia Camera 4.5, but it won't start. I have a Lumia 1020, and Lumia Camera has been available from the Store until the latest RS2 (Creators update) build. When I installed RS2 RTM build it removed Lumia Camera from phone. So I did a reset so my registry values are now default for 1020. So the problem with Lumia Camera being "not compatible" in the Store came with RS2 for me.
But I hope there is a way to get the latest Lumia Camera to install with a XAP or APPX.

So Nokia Camera is unable to start... Maybe it is a limit imposed by the RTM of Creators Update... I have a 1020 like you and I have done this procedure just two days ago: untill the last RS1 update, Lumia Camera was always there after the various upgrades. With the last RS1 update (149393.1066) by the way, Lumia Camera disappeared and wasn't possible to reinstall it throught the store: the only way was using that XAP, installing it from the internal memory. If you have done everything like me, maybe the culprit is of the CU... And that means no CU for the 1020! Let me know if you take the time to make some test and find uot if with RS1 is still usable.

A very strange thing just happened. I had the old Nokia Camera 4.5 installed which did not start and checking for updates in the Store didn't find any updates at all. Now when I hadn't touched the phone for two hours, Lumia Camera appeared in the newly installed list, and somehow the old Nokia Camera 4.5 has been updated to Lumia Camera 4.10.0.6! I have auto updates turned off and it's not mentioned in the update history list.

Good to know that everything updated as it should... Sometimes the store is not reliable: just wait for a few hours and it may change idea about what you may or may not install.
Going back to my initial problems, I thought that they were due to the fact that the 1020 was an unsupported RS1 phone (as said, everything worked fine on TH2). Now I'm testing also a Lumia 950 and it shows the same behaviour when shooting photos in both jpeg and DNG format. I have done some research (http://forums.windowscentral.com/ask-question/440536-duplicate-photos.htmlhttp://) and it seem like:
1) for what concernes the duplicated photos in the gallery (both jpeg and DNG showed), it is a known bug of the "aggregate duplicated files" function of the Photo App that it's not working as it should.
2) for the automatic upload af both jpeg and DNG photos in OneDrive, it is a wanted behaviour. I still think that Microsoft should give us the choice about what we want to upload, especially thinking of the actual 5gb space limit of the free onedrive offer.
I'm using the feedback hub to report these problems to Microsoft, just in case they decide they still care about the W10 Mobile platform...

[QUESTION] Questions about Nokia Lumia 930

Hello, I happen to have a Nokia Lumia 930 (which I thought I lost long ago, but found recently).
My main question is what to do with this phone? I know I can update it to use W10 Mobile (even Insider versions, apparently). However that's all I know.
What can and cannot be done in this phone? I don't know if WPInternals supports it, since it's not in the list of supported phones, but I've read all around that WPInternals supports all W10 Mobile phones, so I don't know anymore.
What are some of the things that can be done with this model?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I still play Asphalt 8 in this device, as I had some progress there. Other than that, it's still a nice camera phone with 20MP. W10 mobile left behind some enjoyment of Here Maps and featured Lumia apps, but I guess it's necessary due to security and compatibility issues.
As Windows is no longer developing this mobile platform, don't expect much on any updates on the existing apps. NFC is nothing without support from apps. Many downside on apps availability compared to Android's, i.e. PUBG, even YouTube is not officially available. You can however, maximize the use of Microsoft apps, such as Word, Excel, One Note, Outlook, Edge, but again, they're also available in Android. FYI, WhatsApp has limited feature in this version, probably some other apps also.
In the end, you can still utilize it as a music player, movie player, ebook reader, file downloader, 32GB USB data storage. That's all from me I guess.

The only for the Nokia 930 is the astoria build and wpinternals is dangerous.. be careful Also for the "Astoria" build .But if u want to try it you ll need this. if you want to go back to original firmware you should connect to PC ur 930 and in WPinternals under download press 'download all' to get original ffu for flashing. or visit Lumia firmware on browser and grab ur stock ffu and flash it with wpid in flash mode

Not exactly. The active upgrade path goes up the "Anniversary Update" (1607)....
... and spoofing a 950 (registry editing) enable you to go up to "FCU" (1709).
It runs like a charm.
