I am a newbie to making changes to mobile settings. I am pretty literate on most things but i can't get my head around how to change settings. Things like HKEY etc.Ineed a bit more advice.
to change the registry == HKEY
you use a program such as total commander
If you are looking into tweaking your device via registry....well look no further as the best 2 tools for that can be found below....

and

and if you want to just do things on your own then....

It would help a lot to know what device you have, in order to point you into the right direction, but you can start in the Wiki:

Enjoy!
I have the XDA Ignito(HTC diamond)
I have now downloaded and edited the tweaks info and will look at how it develops. Thanks for the link.

Guys, I have a very newbi question so pls bare with me.
1) I’m trying to find the post where there is a tweak that you can show 4 rows insead of 3 under programs and for the life of me I cannot find that past post… I’ve search everywhere and I’m sure I hv seen it before imbedded in a thread somewhere, so if you know pls drop me a line.
2) This is a really newbi question… I have installed Total Commander and if I were to change registry settings where do I find the string I’m suppose to change? I don’t know where to go to change these settings I read on the forums.
Yes, I know, but I am very new to this tweaking thing. Thanks a bunch.
Follow the directions in this post for changing the rows.
I know somebody made a cab for it (can't exactly remember the username but something that had a k8 i think) but can't find it as of now.
As for total commander, you don't go just messing with keys. Usually the directory to change a specific function with the registry is give (e.g HKLM>controlsetpanel>x>x etc).

Hey guys,
Looking for a registry editing guide that explains a little more on the Windows Mobile registry.
Bought a Ubiqio 503G on the internet. The phone has great features but sucks as far as:
-In-call speaker volume
-MP3 ringtone volume
-Weak vibrate
Ubiquio does not support this device and eXpansys has very poor support, and a crappy tech. team.
I believe the guys on this forum have more knowledge than eXpansys.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Much appreciated.
like with pc windows registry
every program can create registries
having whatever function for the program
as the programmer sees fit
so other then how to alter registrys there really is no general guide to
the registry
There's no dedicated guide on all registry entries, like Rudegar said, but better read this before starting to play around with registry:
http://www.wmexperts.com/articles/howto/how_to_edit_the_registry.html
Just dump your registry as a .txt file, put it on your pc (try ceregeditor) and do keyword searches until you find what you need. Play around a little with the applicable values (if found), but save the original file in case you mess up.
nice post WG very informative for users who havent tinkered with the reg before. I also like to use a desktop reg editor (whilst active synced) called CeRegEditor as well as a PPC one (PHM, Task Manager v3.1 etc), best of both worlds
Agree the best regieditor on desktop for WM is CeRegEditor, and the combining of FDC's TaskMgr.exe + Total Commander make us never need a standalone reg editing tool on device.
Plus for a real tweak addict better purchase the SKTracker, another 'tweaker's dream'.
I'm planning to repost the whole content on nir36's guide thread, a lot of code-adding work to do tho.
Edit: Done. Check here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471521 This is a really useful thread for beginners.
Edit: I found this wonderful site really need some 'beginner-friendly' contents, or maybe need a seperate 'Beginner's Subforum'. Although it's already a heaven for developers, but beginners maybe less taken care of. I don't call beginners 'noobs' or 'idiots' because I'm a beginner too.

Agree. The developers know what they talking about, but the tens of thousands of mere mortals don't.
I have been reading for days and still don't know where to start to modify the Today screen, not to mention ROM.

Can some one please post any tutorials on chome editor and how to use it, i've been trying to find out how to use it, i want to make new panels, pages but don't know what i'm doing.
thanks in advance
Hmm wow... Yeah I'm usually pretty good with this stuff but I still have no idea even what the chome editor even does... Modify the home page is all I can gather, panels and such... I've been messing around with my cooked wm6.5 editor and I'm in the same boat, seems hard to find any good info on this program and how to use it. I'm sure I'm overlooking something.
As lame as it is, help appreciated :I

Have a look into Dev & Hack section and do a search for Chome, you´ll find several threads with great how to´s
Hello all,
I hope I used the search function correctly, I could not find an answer to this one. If You have a link to an answer, please be so kind to point me out in that direction.
Each time I do a flash of a new ROM I go through the process of installing the mayor things I need. Although I know that Shashimi (if I write it correctly) will solve this issue, I am trying to get to smoothing the job of some standard actions I do for each ROM.
I install my Resco Explorer 2008 and edit the registry.
I know all the specific entries I need, some are new, some are value changes.
There is a possibility in Resco to import .reg files. I tried to create my own by taking a .reg file I downloaded from here, but Resco complained it not being in the right format.
Can somebody inform how the file should look.
Is there a difference between value changes for an existing entry or new entries. Is there a certain Header which should be available.
I am sure these questions are answered somewhere, but the Wiki and Search did not let me find an answer.
And yes, I will go to Shashimi sometimes, but am not ready yet.
Thanks all in advance,
Ruud
I used TaskMgr to export some registry keys and it looks exactly like this:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\BTRouter]
"BTBaudrate"=dword:003d0900
"BTPortName"="COM7:"
Hope this helps
Hi ZaxXx,
exactly this format is what I see around here. But trying to import this through Resco Explorer 2008 does not work. Also simply clicking on the (text)-file with this format does not result in the registry being updated to the contents of the file.
How would You re-import these registry entries, other than by hand?
Edit :
OK, I just tried to import a file which was exported by TaskManager, this actually works.
But my files, which look the same to me are rejected. Time to start looking real careful, what the difference is.
Regards,
Ruud
OK solved it.
Or at least to some extend.
I can import the file through TaskManager and the file is accepted without mistakes. The entries do appear in the registry after that.
BUT, Resco Explorer 2008 still judges the file corrupt and does not want to import.
It will save a lot of time like this, so I am happy.
Thank You,
Ruud

I'm using PHM Registry Editor it allows me to do the following tasks:
Explore the registry to find the operating system and applications configuration,
modify system and applications tweeks not available from the standard options screens,
export all or parts of the registry to .reg files,
backup and restore the complete registry and
perform search on the registry data
Export a key, look into it with notepad (ASCII) editor, then you'll know its format

Hi, i'm sorry to ask such a noob question, but it seems that i'm missing a lot of goodies when it comes to editing registry. I have edited very few registry lines to add a thing or two, but i've read in various posts that there's a lot of good things to do in the registry field, and i haven't figured out yet what are the best things to do. I even saw somewhere that if you don't have a registry editor then you only have half WinMo.
Can someone post a list of the best registry edits?
Thanks in advance.
Please remember ... changing the Registry can harm your device and you will end up in a Hardreset!
But beside of this warning
You're right. Changings in the Registry can release the real potential of you device.
Try "TSALTAs Magic Tweak". A cab that's full of registry tweaks.
As i'm posting this from my HD i can't give you the link to the Thread.
Just search for it.
best regards
