****if there are any other reg tips hacks tweaks anything post in here****
***if you have any tips or tricks not in reg edits but just normal tips please post here***
i have tested all my reg edits and they do you work!!!!! like a charm

Thanks bereda , Very Good One. I Saw the difference in performance

no problem if you no anymore just list them my favorite one is the annoying sound one for spb it clicks really loud when you strike a key and i mean its loud!! it made my head pound like a drum haha and the performance one if you pair it with the graphics speed up it makes a big difference

ROM
Hi,
Does it matter if I have changed from the original ROM ?

@bereda
What´s the source this tweaks come from?
Tip: Backup the registry before changing it!

i was googleing and found the site i think its ppc tweaks but the stated that these will only work in wm5 but i gave them a shot on my elfin and it worked even with the custom rom but i guess you can do them on a stock rom you just need a registry editor

Easier way..
Easier way for who do not know / want to touch the register in the first person..
the cabs only made the first two reg hacks..
(i do not made the third reg hock because I not have the spb, so I could not test it..
Thanks a lot bereda!

Or use Schap's Advance Config -> tab Performance to change the values comfortably

There is no detriment for doing those tweaks.
Anytime you can reverse all this with a hard reset.

There are so many registry editors, the most used is PHM Registry Editor
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

My Mobile isn't able to install that program, really dont know why :s
Maybe you have another one?

NP - i found another program.
It loads the registry from the mobile, but it
runs at the computer, sounds great actually!

Font Linking for Japanese on Fuze

I want Japanese font support. I've found some DIY pages, but still uncertain about some things.
Here are the references...
http://www.oneindia.mobi/windowsmobile-help.html
http://blog.int64.org/2008/09/04/adding-japanese-support-to-windows-mobile-61
Issues: Author states "To my knowledge Segoe Condensed is the only font used in the UI on Windows Mobile 6.1"
I'm not sure this is true of the Fuze. I don't find Segoe.ttf on my device.
Also, the blog says I should use Multi-String Value if I want to link Meiryo.ttf and Meiryob.ttf. I'm confused by the options I see in Total Commander registry editor. If I choose Multi-String, the next screen defaults to 00 00 00 00 in the first line of the data field. I do not understand why. Maybe it's insignificant. But it leads me to temptation, which is the data type "Expandable Str."
My device already has some linking..
Value name - HelveticaNeue LT55 Roman
Value data - \Windows\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma
Value name - HelveticaNeue LT35 Thin
Value data - \Windows\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma
Does this mean my primary system font is HelveticaNeue? Should I delete these two keys and re-define them as Multi-String like this?...
Value name - HelveticaNeue LT55 Roman
Value data - \Windows\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma
\Windows\meiryo.ttf,Meiryo
\Windows\meiryob.ttf,Meiryo Bold
Value name - HelveticaNeue LT35 Thin
Value data - \Windows\tahoma.ttf,Tahoma
\Windows\meiryo.ttf,Meiryo
\Windows\meiryob.ttf,Meiryo Bold
Or should I tack Meiryo onto Tahoma...
Value name - Tahoma
Value data - \Windows\meiryo.ttf,Meiryo
\Windows\meiryob.ttf,Meiryo Bold
Or is Segoe really the main font, and I need to link to that...
Value name - Segoi
Value data - \Windows\meiryo.ttf,Meiryo
\Windows\meiryob.ttf,Meiryo Bold
Here is another useful link...

(Tweak) Real fullscreen browsing on HD2!!

Hi guys!
Frustrated with the Opera browser on the HD2, I decided to take matters into my own hands
What really bugged me was the inability to see the whole page when browsing the web, and by that I mean go fullscreen… This is possible on the iPhone, Nexus one, Hero, Pre etc. but not on the HD2!
The reason behind all this: Virtual Screen Width….
The resolution on, lets say the iPhone, is poor 480x320… Most webpages are AT LEAST coded in 1024x768…
The reason why the iPhone, with its inferior resolution, is able to go fullscreen on most webpages, is because Safari lets the iPhone use Virtual Screen Width… "Virtual" is the keyword here …
On the HD2 we are blessed with the wonderful native resolution at 800x400 pixels .. This is all great, but there is one problem: Its not 1024, 1156 or 1280… Its 800x400… = 800 in width = crippled page view!
The problem is that Opera, on default, isn't configured with any sort of "virtual" screen width… It is 800 pixels all the way…
But!
We can activate the Virtual Screen Width, and thereby go fullscreen on any webpage= No more crippled web browsing!
Go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Change "Virtual Screen Width" from "800" (The native screen width) to "1024", "1152", "1280", "1366" or whatever suits your browsing needs
My configuration is like this (Gives a good overview, without destroying visibility):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Virtual Screen Width: 1024
Hope you guys enjoy
Update: Some people are experiencing some problems with "double tab to zoom"... This most likely has to do with another tweak in relation to "Default Zoom" in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom] .... If you have changed this value, please change it back to value "175"... My browsing experience is perfect... Fullscreen, double tab, smooth etc. To me the HD2 is now a real internet device
Update 2: Here are some other tweaks, provided by astrodemoniac in another thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=626157
I post it here to create a better overview of whats possible "tweaking" wise on the Opera Browser:
Increase Scrolling FPS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
PanFps=50
Increase Zooming FPS:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Info]
ZoomFps=50
Lower Default Zoom:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100 (I would advise to just keep it on 175, as it works perfectly with my fullscreen tweak.. Some people lose "double tab to zoom" when editing this value.. Keep it on 175!!
+ these tweaks (mainly from tboy2000):
Increase the font cache for displaying text quicker:
HKLM\Software\Opera\Info\
fontcachesize = 64
(default was 32)
Source: this thread (item #76)
Complete page loading = Avoid the unfamous "checkerboard background"
HKLM\Software\Opera\MemoryLimits:
AllocLimit = 70254592
HeapLimit = 73400320
memory_heap_threshold_size = 131072
mmap_reserve_size = 20971520
sbrk_reserve_size = 49283072
Source: this thread (item #76)
If using the newest Opera build from 1.67:
Enable this new Opera to open favorites on the Sense internet tab
HKLM/Software/Opera/Info
UseOperaBookmark = 0
(default = 1)
Enable this new Opera to download files on Storage Card
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\ SDMemory
Folder = Storage Card
Thx!

I'm not sure I got this right...
- Does your tweak work on landscape or portrait? Because this thread here already talks about full screen in, I believe, portrait views. Will you tweak have influence on both portrait and landsape?
- Could you make a screen capture, so we can understand? (BTW, BsB tweak use very simple ways to make screen captures)

It works in both portrait and landscape.. The tweak you refer to adjusts the zoom levels... Not the visual width....
You can see "my" tweak as the key to full screen browsing like on your laptop or whatever... It makes your screen "believe" its actually, lets say 1024 in width, instead of 800... An amazing difference.. Try it out and you will never go back

Nice find!! The full page view is indeed awesome!
But i noticed that double tap zooming doesn't work anymore. But who cares! The fullpage view matters more.
Thanks!

thanks
but it lose the double tap zoom function

Niiiice!!!
I dont lose double tap zooming..!!
(maybe cause i applied all the tweaks for smoothness etc plus this one in the latest opera from 1.67 rom..found here i think!)

Maybe is due to opera build. Mine is 9.7 build 35627. I think I probably should upgrade to the newer build.
Edit :
The double tap zooming is gone when this tweak is used with this,
Lower Default Zoom (Really takes advantage of the HD2 beautiful screen)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom]
Default Zoom=100
Simply change the default zoom back to 130 and double tap zooming will work again.

I also loose double tap to zoom, but only in portrait mode. In landscape it is ok. I set the screen width to 1024. Also my registry key is called 'Virtual Screen Width' not 'Visual Screen Width'
My opera build is 9.7 build 35577. I am on ROM 1.48.405.2 WWE
BTW my original value for the Default Zoom is 175 not 130. I have tried using 130 but it doesn't work. The only way it seems to get the double tap to work in portrait mode is to change the screen width back to 800.
Pinch zooms works ok though.

Are we actually talking about the "VIRTUAL SCREEN WIDTH"
Changed the setting to 1024, looks good. Thanks for the tip

+1 double tap zoom is gone

Nomination
A real beauty, this tweak. Thanks for sharing.
I would like to nominate this tweak, together with the default zoom-level tweak, for a Grammy Award in the category `best Opera tweaks´
EDIT: added a little cab that changes the "Virtual Screen Width" to 1024. The benefit of using a cab is that when u unistall the cab, the default value is restored. (@ OP: feel free to attach this cab to your own post. The author rights are all yours )

i would actually advise people that those who want to still be able to use double tap zoom to not use this cab.
By default, 1024 disables double tap.
I recommend 1023, or better, 1000.
I figured this trick not too long ago.
See my post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5510142&postcount=3

Not fully related, but is there a way to disable the soft buttons always appearing during page loading? I find it highly annoying that it always brings the buttons and address bar up, rescaling the page at the same time, and making it a pain to scroll during loading... I only need those if I press the bottom right "menu" button, not all the time automatically...

I have no problems with the double-tap zoom feature. I'm on opera 9.7 35758. What version are you running? (sounds like a weird bug to me)

Changed it to 1280... look awesome, still have my double-tap. Haven't updated my Opera build yet.

Great, it really works fine and should have been the default parameters for Opera!!! I really can't understand why a community like ours is able to change some simple numbers and get the best out of our HD2 ! Anyway, here are the tweaks I use for Opera from now on:
Fullscreen view on portrait and landscape (actually "Full Width")
This enable a webpage to be fully seen when you first load the page.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Opera\Prefs\Adaptative Zoom
Visual Screen Width = 1000

My Opera build is also the latest, from the leaked ROM 1.67 found here. With this new build, though, even more tweaks are needed... because I'm using the official HTC ROM 1.66

Enable this new Opera to download files on Storage Card
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\SDMemory

(I use a french ROM and the latest official ROM 1.66 translates the word "storage card" to french, making Opera not able to know where the microSD card. This tweak solves it)
And finally, I also use BsB tweak 1.6 to enable more tabs for Opera and to enable link click even when zoomed out...
Damn... I think we really need some BIG CAB to easily change this all... I just don't know how to make it. Help

I changed my pinch zoom framerate to 50 the other day, and yes, it's much better... but is there a way to increase the rate of zooming. I don;t like having to pinch several times when on my 3GS I only have to do it once. I know I can just double-tap, but still...

[MOD] Smaller HTCMenus (QVGA) + Customization

Since is quite annoying scrolling in Menus when there are more than 6 tiles/options, I've managed to increase the number of tiles in HTC Menus from 6 rows to 8 in portrait mode (and from 4 rows to 5 in landscape mode) decreasing the height of tiles from 42 pixels to 34 (finger-friendly enough as you see in images below ).
Previous Important Note
Although HTC Menus should work ONLY under Manil2D, you can work with HTC Menus WITHOUT Manila2D (instead of WM Menus by default) installing the file UpL HTCMenus NO M2D.cab provided below. To restore to default WM Menus, just uninstall this cab.
All credits about this tweak in this post:
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6641868&postcount=2
Instructions
Install UpL HTCMenus 8Rows BLUE QVGA.cab if you want blue selection colour or UpL HTCMenus 8Rows DEFAULT QVGA.cab for dark-brown default selection colour.
If you don't like the final result (and you didn't back up your modified registry keys/files before ), you can restore your registry keys and Menu settings by default installing UpL HTCMenus 6Rows Restore BLUE QVGA.cab in blue colour, or UpL HTCMenus 6Rows Restore DEFAULT QVGA.cab in dark-brown default colour.
Important Note
I tested it ONLY in my HTC Mega device (QVGA screen) and works like a charm. I don't know how it works in other QVGA devices and, of course, I'm not responsible of whatever happens in other devices or resolutions.
-----------------------------------------------
In the following post there is a brief explaination of the tweak/mod I've done.

Explaination
The Tweak/Mod consists mainly in:
-Resize HTCMenus.png height from 124pixels (1+42+42+42+1=124pixels) to 104pixels (1+34+34+34+1=104pixels) [or 80,9% (34pixels tile/42pixels tile=0,809)] in Windows folder
-Edit and change the registry keys as follows below:
Code:
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemHLTile"="10,[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR],0,0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemTile"="10,[COLOR="Red"]33[/COLOR],[COLOR="Red"]70[/COLOR],0,22,33,44,55,66,77"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemClickHL"="10,[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR],[COLOR="Red"]35[/COLOR],0,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemHL"="0,[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR],0,0"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","ItemHW"="220,280,[COLOR="Red"]33[/COLOR],[COLOR="Red"]34[/COLOR]"
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","LandscapeMaxItemCount"=[COLOR="Red"]5[/COLOR]
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMenus","PortraitMaxItemCount"=[COLOR="Red"]8[/COLOR]
where you change only the following registry values:
From 4 to 5 tiles in Landscape mode
From 6 to 8 tiles in Portrait mode
From 41 to 33 pixels size
From 42 to 34 pixels size
From 43 to 35 pixels size
From 86 to 70 because there starts the 3rd. row (white tiles) in default "HTCMenus.png" (43pixels+43pixels=86pixels) that is (35pixels+35pixels=70pixels) in new "HTCMenus.png"
-And finally, replace your new "HTCMenus.png" in Windows folder after a backup of your previous "HTCMenus.png" to restore if necessary.
Customizations (to do)
So you can easily resize your HTCMenus in the way it fits better to you.
You can use this thread to change "HTCMenus.png" file in size, color and "effects", and the registry keys involved (including fonts not changed above)
I can start with the registry keys written/changed above and my resized "HTCMenus.png" attached below.
Enjoy it!

Great idea and thanks for your work...will try when I get back from business trip.
Confirmed works......!!

my htc is better than before. thank you.

thankss. will try it..

Could you make some change to htcmenus and make it work in new ui such as 23123 and so on
Thank you

I've included 2 cabs. Install the first one. If you don't like the final result (and you didn't back up your modified registry keys/files before ), you can come back to HTC Mega Default Menu settings installing the second one.

From 86 to 70 because there starts the 3rd. row (white tiles) in default "HTCMenus.png" (43pixels+43pixels=86pixels) that is (35pixels+35pixels=70pixels) in new "HTCMenus.png"
Customizations (to do)
So you can easily resize your HTCMenus in the way it fits better to you.
You can use this thread to change "HTCMenus.png" file in size, color and "effects", and the registry keys involved (including fonts not changed above)
I can start with my resized "HTCMenus.png" attached below and the registry keys written/changed above
Enjoy it!

Thanks for your landscape test!
My first 8 Rows .cab file supported 6 tiles in Landscape mode instead of the 5 tiles I wrote. I edited the 1st post and changed the Landscape registry of my 8 Rows cab file from 6 (tiles) to 5. Also, I included a new Landscape pic to see it in action.
I prefer to keep it in 5 tiles (in Landscape mode), because 6 tiles overwrite the taskbar a few pixels. Of course, feel free to change or edit the .cab file (or your registry) to your own like.

Sorry for my delay!
Check if you work under Manila2D (TouchFlo2D) in your device. This Menu should work ONLY under Manila2D. Otherwise, you'll see the default Windows Mobile Menu but not this HTC Menu.
But if tou want HTCMenus without Manila2D, please read carefully the edited 1st post.
Cheers!

Tested working without Manila... PERFECT!
Thnks a lot!!!

Very very very usefull app

[Q] VM heap size (default)

OK I understand Vm heap size has to do with memory and allocating a certain amount but from what I saw today I found to be kinda confusing...
I haven't changed it but when I went to go mess with it it was at a quite high value of 288.
That seems awfully high to me from the 24s and 32s I was reading today. So I have to ask what is the default VM heap size for the Tab Plus? I did a decent amount of googling but apparently my google mojo is working well today

Update on the matter. Rom toolbox says the heap is 288 when VM heap tool reports a default of 288 and a current value of 64.

Honeycomb on the SGT7+ defines three total heap sizes, that can be found in /system/build.prop
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=288m
heapstartsize is the size of a new Dalvik VM heap when initialized.
heapgrowthlimit is the size limit for normal Dalvik VM heaps.
heapsize is the size limit for Android apps that specify android:largeHeap=true in their application manifest.
heapgrowthlimit is the value that you would use to compare your tablet to phones running Android 2.3 and earlier.

Ah OK that makes sense now! Thank you good sir! (Or mam)
