Changing default settings

Hi, does anyone know how to reset defaults in sounds and notifications so that every time I soft reset I don't need to go in and reset all preferances like sms notification etc?
Dear,
I guess it has something to do with the registry. Set everything up to your preference and use the Regedit to back up your registry & store it in a non-volitile memory. When you do hard-resent, restore your registry and there you go. I haven't tried it myself, but I think it'll work, anyone please verify this. Thanks
Cheers

I have updated the fix for the camera, but now my xda has gone mad.
it keeps opening my text messages and internet explorer, every couple of seconds, my sync isnt working either, need to know how to revert back to the previous settings.
I can live without the camera and record buttons working but cannot live with it opening programs every thirty seconds

I'm sorry to hear that, you're the first reporting that kind of problem!
Anyway, just remove the entry HKLM/Services/CamRecSvc in the registry and do a soft reset.
Cheers
Don't know how
Sorry DotFred you are talking to a newbie, don't know how to change a registry entry, I have trawled through the forums but to no avail, can you either let me know how to do it or point me in the direction of where to find out.

Ok no prob. Denise,
Here is a little app. that you have to launch on your ppc, it will remove the camrecsvc service.
Cheers

ps.: can you tell me what version of himalaya and the OS you're using ?
Thanks
Hi Fred,
you forgot to attach the fix, but it's no matter last night i trawled through the site and finally found the how to for my XDA its a XDAIIs which I belive is a Blue Angel, I have now managed to get a registy editor and have deleted the files but it has not solved my problem.
The problem I am experiencing is as if a button is stuck and it keeps opening Text messages and IE constantly.
I am using OS WM2005, can't find where the about button is to find the version.

What fix, the uninstall_camrecsvc.exe removes the camrecsvc.dll from the ppc and deletes the related keys from the registry.
And yes, if you have a BlueAngel, it won't work (go here and you will know which ppc you have http://wiki.xda-developers.com/). I don't check the type of ppc, and maybe it's a good idea to add that to the service.
Anyway, you seem to say that the problem remains even after the deinstallation of the service, am I right ? Are you sure the service has been removed. Do you have a file called /Windows/CamRecSvc.dll ?
Otherwise I don't think you have a lot of choices.
I would try a hard reset first and clean the registry.
If you have an himalaya:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> NO
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
If you have a BlueAngel, just find somewhere here how to do a hard reset.
ps.: before doing this, I suggest you to do a backup of your pim and important files first in case you make a mistake at some stage.
If the problem still persists. Then I would suggest a reflash of the OS.
Cheers and good luck,
.Fred
Thank GOD!!!
Hi Fred,
Thanks for that, played about with it for a bit and reinstalled the fix and got a different registry editor, deleted the dll again and it seem to work.
only issue i have now is when in sync it asks me for server IP address, i have seen a forum for sorting this.
thanks again and that will teach me to just do an update without checking what device i have!
Cheers

Hi Dotfred, after installing the downloaded file, the buttons respond perfectly. But the camera button takes me to MY PICTURES. Am expecting to see the camera icon there but vanished. I went to the program files to call the camera from there but I get the same problem. Am using 2.0

Just create a new Text document on your pc and open it with notepad
type this:
40#:MSCAMERA?shellres.dll,-8263
rename it:
camera.lnk
And save it on your ppc here:
/Windows/AppButtons
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: if the camera app is not launched then there is a bug or something different in that ROM
hi dotfred, unfortunately I have hard reset my phone and everything is normal now. The buttons are working perfectly with your application . Thanx and keep up the with the spirit of the forum. GREAT WORK!
hi guys...
just recently..ive upgraded to tofclock 2.01a.64wwe...and has the camera button function...but after i installed IA software..camera button dont work anymore...
then i installed your set up and still no luck....
thanks...
hi DotFred.
You made a hell of a job by doing this.Thanks a lot, only.... the green-red lights still are dark at my Qtek2020 with tofclock's 2.01a.64wwe, radio 1.17
I copied the .exe to my device and started it, gave a soft reset but no lights. The HW buttons are ok (great!) Am I doing something wrong?
problem solved: I used the wrong version of camrecsvc.dll.
After copying the wright one (2.1.0.1) to windows\ and restarted the program is was ok. Thanks .Fred for the excellent program.

Just check if the camrecsvc.dll is started.
Some people said that the setup doesn't work on their hima.
So they had to do the installation/upgrade manually.
Read the related posts on buzzdev.net, you will probably find the answer.
Cheers,

Thanks DotFred,
you solved my problem about camera / record non working buttons
Thnaks again!
Buttons work & leds are shining after install, but this features don't work after soft reset. Help please. c-shekhar WM6.1

Hi,
someone know how to remove the carrier/bluetooth plugin from the today page ?

Run this .cab on your device. It will hide the carrier logo.
hi
thanks for your cab but
i tryed your file but it doesn't work.
I tryed this file also and it does not work . I have Vodafone logo . . .
Have you hidden the lookup field?
Left Soft Key, Menu->Preferences->Hide lookup field.
This needs to be ticked for this hack to work correctly.
I also had to uncheck/check the setting in the "today settings" to get ti to kick in.

Thank you, it does work fine .
thanks for the tip now it works.
This worked at first, right after the first soft reset it removed the Cingular name and bluetooth icon (after "hide lookup field"). But soon after my Treo locked up. Upon soft reset the Today screen was frozen, and the device was completely locked up. Soft reset again, same thing. Only way to fix was to hard reset.
Tried the patch again, same results, but this time upon the first soft reset it did the lock up right away.
Anybody else have this issue? I really want to remove the useless carrier, bluetooth since screen space is so limited, but this solution seems too evasive.
it seems that the hidelogo app also hides the date, even though i've enable the date to be displayed on the Today screen

hmmmm, me too. Anybody found a fix for this?
Hey, check this out... Maybe somebody already did.
Change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\ "Dial Lookup"\"Enabled"] to 0
Then you can re-enable the date in your today settings, the loss of course is the dial box, however, if while on the Today screen just start typing one of your contacts, a list that I've never seen comes up and you can just hit call!
Not sure I like the setup but it gives more real-estate on the Today Screen
I tried that. Still lost the date as well as the logo.
Had to put the logo back because I do want the date on the today screen....
It Works !!!
Just downloaded this little app - it works perfectly !
Great to recover that little piece of wasted real-estate from my tiny, crowded Treo screen.
Many thanks !
After installing that CAB the only part of my today screen that is visible it the 10 pixels high section where the carrier logo was. I can still scroll that tiny area down and see that all my other today info is there, but it only shows up in the 10 pixel window.
Ideas?

Problem with Large Start menu on non HTC devices

hi there!
I downloaded JUVS HTC Large Titlebar and HTC Enlarge Start menu CABs and installed both on my E-TEN M800 (VGA).
They installed fine and I now have the "large start menu" item in my system settings.
But when I check the checkbox to turn it on, it still doesnt enlarge.
I rebooted the device and still nothing. I basically only need the zooming of the notification icons in the start-bar.
have I missed something? do i need additional files?
thanks
Bernhard
the old one just for QVGA, try this one, but dun know can it work on ETEN
thanks, but it doesn't work.
maybe it needs touchFLO so its only activated when you use the finger? or something like that?
No touchflow wouldnt make a difference on this. Unfortunatly some of the items on here will only work with HTC devices and i think this may well be one of them im afraid. Unless anyone else can shed any light
Tried the Large Start Menu once on my iPAQ, and what I found was that the service (htcStartMenuService.dll) doesn't automatically start. Using DotFred's Taskmanager to manually start the service made the large start menu appear... until the next soft reset.
The same thing probably happens with the large titlebar thing.
thanks ridolfo, this works!
now i have to find a way to start it automatically on reboot
makes my e-ten even more userfriendly!
edit: i just added this nice and useful taskmanager to my StartMenu and on reboot, i open it, go to the services tab and click the little start icon for the LargeTitleBar service. thats it.
works like a charm.
IIRC, you can even open it on the services tab, using a command-line switch. Have a look in the "About" screen for possible command-line switches (I think it's in the "About" screen, but I'm not sure).
I'm still hoping that someone can explain why some of the HTC services do auto-start, but others don't.
yes, because when you install the LargeTitleBar it correctly creates its entry in the Registry and is bound to be started, but somehow it doesnt.
In my brand new HTC Touch Cruise, large menu option is ticked, but after playing around with apps or settings it becomes small, allthough it's still ticked. I have to disable and reenable it to make it big again. It's a bit of a problem, as it happens often. Advice would be appreciated.
same problem
couldn't this problem be fixed by some registry entires ?
I mean to put an application into autostart shouldn't be a problem, well for me, as a hardcore newp it is acutally, but maybe not fo you guys
on my xperia x1 i've got the same problem .

Hi! at all!
Have you found a solution?

Help! Phone crashes on start menu! D:

Hi there, I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I was messing with some UI tweaks in SKTools. After I was done, everything was fine; but I wanted to see how everything looked with the large start menu option in system settings. After enabling it, I clicked to look at it. The entire menu was blacked out and I now have no way (that I know of) to get back to the settings to change the menu size. When you press on it, the phone will freeze.
So really what I'm asking is, anybody know a way to change that setting through the registry or something? .o.
Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks guys, really.
Welcome to forums
First and more important to know is what HTC device you have
Second, try to uninstall any new app recently added or in worst case do a hard reset.
Good luck,
