Hi all,
I'm still trying to fix problem with doubled contacts in People tab (sim contacts are there)
When I'm changing registry settings via TotalCommander or any other registry editor everything works fine ... till soft reset.
Then "Show SiM" option in registry back to "normal" = 1 :|
Have no idea what is wrong...is this some kind of registry protection ?
Regards
B.
For a registry change you need a power toggle.
With a softreset you'll loose the change.
But if you turn the device of and back on again, the change will have been saved.
Sounds weird, but it's really so, try it
I used advanced configurator but it seems that even though it sasys a soft restart is required after the soft restart it defaults back to showing them (even NO is the default :/)

Hi, I'm new and I have a problem to filter my sim contacts. I have just tried to edit the registry changing the value 1 to 0 in the string HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Phone but nothing.......after the soft reset the contacts are always visible.
Someone has the solution?
Thanks and have a nice day
Hi,
I've just find where it is...
Open your registry editor and go to :
HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Control Panel / Phone
Open the valueName ShowSim
Replace the 1 by 0
Press the top button for turn off your phone for approximativelly 1 min
Make a soft reset and it's done, Your SIM contact will disapeared...
Best regards

Did the same, however, if you do not soft reset then sim contacts disappear after the above tweak, but after soft reset, they re-appear and value of ShowSim turn to 1 again .... .
How to keep this change permenant even after soft resets as other registry tweaks don't change after resets but this conatcs thing does

Yes, it's true.....also I have tried to rename like "ShowSimold", to copy and change the value in 0 but nothing, after soft reset the value returns to 1 again.
In this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299848 there's a solution for WM6 but I do not know if it is ok for our Touch Cruise.
I uninstalled FunContacts, did multiple soft resets, cleaned with MemMaid, and my Phone Left Soft Key that says "Contacts" is still looking for FunContacts and gives me an error message that FC cannot be found. I emailed FC, however, no response. Softkeys work fine on the Today Screen. All the remapping programs out there just identify and do the Today Screen Soft Keys.
Does anyone have info on remapping the softkeys on the Phone Screen?
Thanks in advance if you do.
This worked for me, had the same problem:
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
# Change "String 1" value from "\Program Files\FunContacts\Funcontacts.exe" to ":MSPOUTLOOK contacts".
Make sure that you don't add the "" on the new entry.
Still need help on Phone Screen Soft Buttons....
Thanks for the fix, however; I had already completed a hard reset.
I still want to change the "Contacts" soft button on the Phone Screen to SPB Contacts vs. the build in contacts. I have Sbp Shell and love it, however; it does not change the phone's soft key for contacts.
In the registry entry you mentioned, it is totally blank. I have tried to a string that leads to the Spb Contacts, however, the registry editor will not accept it.
If anyone knows how to change the Phone's (Not the Today Screen) soft keys, please help.
Thanks!!
Any ideas how I get the backlight to come on when the keyguard is activated? Its really hard to see the keys.
Also, in windows mobile 5 on my XDA mini s the keyguard deactivated when the passcode was entered. on this version the 'enter' button has to be pressed before the pass code is accepted. Can this be switched off?
Cheers!

Hi there, could you tell me where you found the reg hacks? I would like to give it a go since I am desperate enough to try anything to sort this problem out.
This Registry entry swichtes on backlight when device is suspended and blocked:
Rename folder HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
OK, accept = yes, Soft-Reset
It's somewhere in tricks thread, for me it works like a charm.

It's not working. Although I renamed HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
-> HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
After soft reset, HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel come back again & HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX appear to be a new registry entry.

Yes, that is right, both folders are there now. When creating LockLevelX, did you click in ok on the top / right side of screen ?
Rgds,
Yes I did that.
I thought your suggestion will turn the backlight on when we press the key while the key is locked.
Anyway your suggestion can help in the following scenario

I feel sorry when it's not what you were looking for. Anyway, "my suggestion" comes from HTC Polaris tweaks and tricks
Rgds,
Hi I found this 'fix' on google, i think it was on an HTC forum (i.e. via htc website).
I have O2 Orbit2 and had the dim screen on keylock/password lock. (While those who don't have it may not see the problem i couldn't actually tell if the machine was on or not, in sunlight, to unlock!)
The solution was to goto HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
and change the value to 00000003.
The only issue is that on my Orbit2, using PHM regedit, this immediately 'fixes' the issue but reverts on reset!
Just means I have to re do the reg edit after every reset.
BTW have been very annoyed at the '10 second' backlight bug so am hoping locklevelx will fix that.
Very glad to say that renaming lock level to locklevelx has sorted out both problems! I now have both folders HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel&HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx
The backlight now goes off after 30 seconds when the keys are unlocked.
When the keys are locked the backlight stays on for ten seconds, it will then come back on for ten seconds with any button press or screen tap.
On resume from standby, locked or unlocked the backlight is on.
Step by step of what edits I made.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel; value set to 00000003;
then
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel renamed to HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ string battery timeout; value set to 30
SOFT RESET
Then looking at the registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel; has value 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx; has value 00000003 (displayed as 3)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight Battery timeout = 30
As previously mentioned the renaming of the folder worked on my orbit II

Is it possible to change camera&phone from the bottom of the home screen to eg. wifi&phone?

yes it is possible
Yes! I've used Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3.cab.
In advanced configuration you can select different applications to set in the bottom of the home screen.
Could you tell me where will I find it (which option should I choose)
Search here in XDA for "advanced configuration tool V3.3.cab" (thanks shape!) and install it!
Then U go in "User Interfaces"->menu->more setting->key mapping and here you can sett every programs you want assign to the sofkeys!
in order to not make another thread; where will I find "phone"? I've changed it by mistake, and now I can't switch it back.
If you use AdvancedConfig then, you can change the softkey by looking up the "phone" shortcut from the drop down list or you can just leave it blank & it will change it automatically to the default setting.
Maybe a little OT... But I read that .NET 3.5 needs to be installed. Can I simply download and install it or do i need to manually do register changes afterwards (read that I had to somewhere)?
Just install NetCF3.5 to your phone (Main Memory or Storage Card) does not matter, mine is running just fine from SD Card. Soft reset & it should run with no issues.
Continuing the OT:
The Netcf 3.5 is not replace automatically but we must change the values on the register.
HKey_Local_Machine -> Software -> Microsoft ->. NETCompactFramework
click on item 2.0.7045.00 and change the value from 1 to 0
click on item 3.5.7283.00 and change the value from 0 to 1
Close ... soft reset and you have the ROM with the NETCF 3.5!
ok, now I know. However it worked for me without having to change registry settings.
or use this progam, works on diamond 2 too..
Does anyone know how you might, in a similar vain, get Notes to appear on the home screen?
@marcelvanblankers:
doesnt work on my td2! after restart it seems like it does, as there actually are the replaced buttons being displayed, but when tf3d launches there are "phone" and "camera" back again.
That's BS.
I just installed NetCF 3.5 via .cab and Advanced Config worked, without any registry changes.
i was talking of the softkeymanager1_1_diamond_beta.ARM_WM5.cab

you must check the checkbox in the program to change the keys when using TF3D....
one is for standard today, the other for TF3D..

that's exactly what i did. i just tried it again - same thing, no change.
I'm looking for a solution to replace the calendar by the tasks and notes in the home screen.
Does anyone knows how to do it?
Tks

change the keys in program, save settings then exit.
in TF3D switch a tab and switch back to homescreen.
now it will be changed, it works on my diamond2. in TF3d and in original today.
do you have .net 3.5 installed? i know i have.. don't know if it matters..

Hi,
I wanted to change some values e.g.
Turn off startup aninmation and sound: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ -> rename both “StartupGif” and “StartupWav” to other names

Tried this with "CeRegEditor" http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?lang=en, but it says always "Write error", as if the registry is protected somehow.
Is there a trick to change the values? Where is my mistake?
Christian
Try a different editor like PHM Reg Editor.
With this prog it works. thx
just a side note. Keep in mind that sometimes some registry edits don't stick if you just do a soft reset via the soft-reset hole on the bottom of the device. Its best to Hold the power button and completely power down the device and then turn it back on.
