Hi,
I have a vague memory of a setting for my Magician (win mobile 2003) where one configures the phone number format to not use parantheses in random places (as if they were north american area codes). I would like to place dashes and parantheses where I like!
Any tips... ?
look if the regional settings is set correct
thanks, that helped it, I had it set to a tweaked US setting.
Does anyone know, btw, where the regional settings are located in the registry... ?
Regional settings are taken from a file called wince.nls, not from the registry.
You can however put overrides in the registry to replace some of the nls settings.
Search this forum for nls override, there was a big post on all available strings to put there.
The key to look at is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls

Hello.
First I want to say thank you to everybody, because I learned so much with this forum, and specially to all "ROM cookers".
Because I don't know very much about ROM cooking I want to ask if it is possible to change the network name that appears on the HTC Universal, because it is an old name, it shows as "UMTS Xfera" and the comercial name for that network is "Yoigo". I don't know if it so much work or if I can do it myself, but I don't know which file I should change.
And one more thing, I have been looking to create a .CAB file with my operator settings without luck because I only get some of the settings (I used a .CAB file for an other operator changing the settings) but no the full configuration, is there a "how to" to create the file?
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
yes, i just cant remember, google it.
Thank you Midget_1990, after a while I found how to modify it, you have to add an entry to the registry with the operator and network code (CCCOO) and the name you want to be shown on HKLM/Software/Microsoft/RIL/OperatorNames.
I have posted it here for anyone who needs it.
I will continue looking for a CAB file with GPRS & MMS settings for my operator.
Regards.
Ok so How you do it ?
Here you have the instructions (from Modaco Wiki):
-----------------------------
Customize operator's name
To show specified operator name set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=0 (DWORD decimal)
And then at
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\Operator Names
add the code and the name to display. The value is 5 digits "CCCOO", where CCC is 3-digits country code, and OO is 2-digits operator's code. For example:
"25099"="BEE LINE"
For country and network code, go to wikipidea for [mobile country code|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listofmobilecountrycodes] and [network code|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MobileNetworkCode]
To show operator name based on the SIM card used (eg for cases where dual SIM adapter are used), set
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ONSDisplayRule=1 (DWORD decimal)
For my dual-SIM adaptor, when I switch between SIMs, the phone with default settings showed always one and the same name, until I reboot the device. Then, it was not able to retrieve operator's name from one of the SIM cards I use. Probably it is an adaptor fault. But anyway, after I changed ONSDisplayRule to 0 and set more up-to-date names for operators that I use, I now always see the name of the operator of the chosen SIM.

Hello
It is possible to make a ROM with some personal information like name, phone number, e-mail adress, company name, ... in it?
Maybe it's possible to put in cooked ROM additional settings like network connections, exchange settings, email settings, my own start menu structure?

You can make a CAB with all the settings you need. I did this in order to not have to put my Name/Address, email accounts, and many more tweaks onto each new ROM I flash.
For me to do it it took some time searching the forums and searching the registry of my Hermes which was what I was using when I made the CAB. I even went as far as adding my home router WEP key to the settings.
You have to spend some time to create your masterpiece but it was worth it!
There's a lot of good information in the UC thread located here. Included are tools that convert exported registry keys to xml along with how to create a cab that contains xml CSPs.
The good news is that the cab will give you easy customization. Better yet, the xml that goes into it can be used directly by any UC capable ROM to automatically do your provisioning every time you hard reset.
I cheated and used OEMIZER to get a RGU and a PROVXML file that let me build my own custom CAB that does the following:
1. Owner Information (from the RGU - see Sleuth's UC Customization thread for a tool to convert REG/RGU files to the XML file you need).
2. Exchange settings
3. GMail Settings
4. Appropriate KaiserTweak settings for my use.

With just a little work, it isn't very difficult...
Hello to everyone, i`m a newb here but i`ve found a way tho add new cities to AccuWeather. I´ve just upgraded my phone to TNT.20273 Series "BETA" (Vanilla/Official/Professional), and one if the thigs that i would like it`s to have my city on it, So searching in this forum and in the internet i found a simple way to do what i whanted.
I find the file on my phone called HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml that is in the windows directory copied to my computer opened with notepad, be carefull that it`s read only you have to take this protection off go.
"Then go to accuweather.com and search for your city. In the url in the address bar, after it says .com, there will be a section that goes something like /us/”state name”/”city name”, where state and city names are the names of your state and city. If you live in the US, you location code will begin with the prefix NAM and will be like this: NAM|US|”state name”|”city name”. Europe’s prefix is EUR and will be like this EUR|”country name”|”country area”|”city name”. It is similar for other continents and countries" (thanks to this forum for this part)
And i`ve added a new comand line similler to another that i have from my country
Ex: <city name="Leiria, PT" loca="EUR|PT|PO011|LEIRIA" land="Portugal"/>
the original was:
<city name="Lisboa, PT" loca="EUR|PT|PO012|LISBOA" land="Portugal"/>
Close notepad put the permitions on read only, see in your phone if the program (accuwather) is working or not on task manager, copy the file you have just made to the windows directory on your phone replacing the one that exists, soft reset and it`s done. It worked on my Wizard.
For security if something goes rong it`s better you make a backup of the file , in case you do something rong.
Hope it helps
On accuweather.com I can't find in the address bar the right code ...
I need the city: GAETA but if i search this siti the result is this in the address bar: accuweather.com/it/it/lazio/gaeta/quick-look.aspx?cityid=213297
Why????
same for me. I couuldnt see the country and city code in the url bar
Advanced Config has a section for setting new values for "My Documents", "My Ringtones", etc. but many of them don't actually work.
I'd love to be able to use "\Donny" instead of "\My Documents", etc.
Call it irrational, but I *HATE* the Windows defaults of "My [whatever]". I always change them (via the registry) on my desktop/laptop PCs, and it drives me nuts that I can't do it in WM.
So, is it possible during the ROM cooking process to make such changes? Or are they simply hard-coded into the WM OS.
If they're hard-coded, is it in a single DLL? (That I could maybe hack with a hex editor?)
These are all variables that you can control at the time of cooking, by editing various .rgu's in the system folder. Look to the folders with Lang or 0409 (or your regional code) in the name, as these are the language-localization strings.. all folder names are considered language-localized as "My Documents" is obviously different in each language
Use a text editor that supports unicode such as EmEditor to edit these .rgu's.
Hope it helps!
That's AWESOME! I've been looking for a reason to start cooking... now I have one!
One follow-up question, if I may...
Instead of hard-coding the values, can you tell it to look in the registry (so the "Shell" entries actually work)?
Thanks for the reply!
The .rgu's represent the registry as it's compiled by the ROM kitchen, so editing the .rgu's will have the same effect as editing the registry.

Not sure if you're missing my point or if I'm not understanding you.
If the .rgu's represent the registry as it's compiled then the locations for My Documents, Program Files, etc. would all be hard coded in the ROM, and once again, changing the settings in HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders won't actually do anything. Right?
So, I'm asking if there's a way to put some sort of magic pointer (or maybe leave it blank?) to say, "If you want to know the location of 'My Documents', check the registry settings at HKCU\....\Shell Folders"
Hi all,
I am learning how to back up my registry settings (using SASHIMI - thanks bengalih), and I have a few quick questions that I suppose can be posted in one of many post regarding SASHIMI, but I decided to ask a question here because it is not srictly connected to SASHIMI, and more people can find this info usefull.
The background problem:
I am trying to back up my favorite Contactx Order in favpeople Manila tab. I found th place in the registy where the data is stored:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\People\FavoriteOrder]
There, for one of the people the data stored is:
"0"=dword:8000003E
(in HEXadecimal , or 2147483710 in Decimal values).
I have checked if the same reg value is always added to the same person (last call person in registry - for example) , and the answer is positive.
The Questions:
- is it possible to find out what is the connection between persons and assigned numbers (other then to change the settings, and then look in the registry for assigned DATA value to specific registry key)?
- I took the favpeople as an example, but the different types of Reg Keys has for DATA values (Programs, different settings...) - What about them?
and even more important:
- will the same numbers be assigned to the same people after:
- Performing hard reset (I assume they will be)
- Changing the ROM (again - I assume they will be)
- on the other WM device (I know that there are small differences in registry settings among diff. devices, but once that person find out that different registry location - can he use the data backed up from previous device or must he start drilling trough registry settings from start)?
Thank you in advance for the answer,
Cheers,
Nenad
p.s. - some programs use reasonable words and terms for registry DATA value, and that puts the smile on my face as everything is transparent and clear. Others, unforunately, adds this "crypted" data and I get frustrated when I want to insulate data that should be stored as the back up...
Hi,
am I asking in a wrong forum
I did a hard reset, and the favorite people I restored (by SASHIMI) are messed up. Wrong people, wrong order...
Am I missing something?
The tab order, program shortcuts and lot of other stuff came up OK, though
Is it posible that DWORD is randomly dedicated with new (hard) reset?
For example:
I make a back up of the registry with certain DWORD dedicatred to certain people (the ones I put in my fav people tab), and then if I add/ remove people from my contact list, the sequence is disorderd, and the back up performed after hard reset puts wrong people in the fav people tab?
Thanks for eventual answer,
Cheers,
p.s. - is there any link where I could get some BASIC info about mentuioned stuff (dword etc) - the search is useless, as every third post uses these key words...
