registry editors - General Questions and Answers

Hi all...
could someone recommend a registry editor for me please?
Many thanks

While connected via ActiveSync use http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/ from your PC
When not connected you can use
- http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm (Registry Editor included)
- http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm (Registry Editor included)
- many more ... just try google
Hope this helps

Yip +1 for ceregeditor, very useful and much better than working on a small screen right.
Also PHM regeditor from : http://freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml although doesnt work too well with some of the new manila 2.5 roms (com 8 builds)
And make sure you backup your reg before you start playing with it, its easy to make some [email protected] ups that could render your device useless and would mean a hard reset.

regedit is better one as per my knoledge due to its easy of use and easy understand features

Thanks
Thanks very much for your help.
Have used ceregeditor with no problems.

Which Reg. Editor to use?

Hello all,
currently I'm using PHM Registry Editor Version 0.70 (seems to be the most current). I am curious to know which reg. editors you are using and why? IS there a better reg. editor than the PHM offering? Looking forward to your responses.
Regards,
idyllic
i use resco regeditor.. just because it has better interface..
PapaDocta, thank you for your response! Apparently you're the only person here that uses a reg. editor Regards, Idyllic
lool maybe and you are welcome
I use Resco also. It's not free, but IMO it's worth the price.
Total commander
Task Manager also has a regeditor that is interesting in that you can associate REG files with it for doubleclick merge. I don't use it though since I have experienced strange behavior with large custom REG files.
All,
Thank you for your responses! The reason I had asked the reg. question stems from some frustration getting reg. changes to stick between soft resets using the PHM editor. Perseverence paid off, but I thought there had to be an easier way, hence the reg. question. I did try the RESCO editor and found it quite useful, but the delta between cost and quirkiness has kept me with the PHM version. If I get deeper into "tweaking" my 750 I'll prolly re-enlist the RESCO offering.

I with you. PHM works fine for any registry edits I need to make and it's free.
+1 for Total Commander

It has probably more to do with your own findings
There are multipe freeware registry editors that are more than capable for your purpose.. ..TotalCommander and TaskManager (mentioned in previous posts) are very good programs!
OK, so the final choice came down to ease of use and I've settled on the PHM version. However, I've found task commander to be quite useful although I think its reg. editor is harder to use (IMHO). Between Task Commander and PHM Regedit I'm now very happy (boy am I easily amused )

Do you mean TotalCommander or TaskManager?

Hi
If you want to edit your registry from your PC (windows based), you can try ceregeditor : http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/
I must say it is quite nice app And is free
Ya know I looked at ceregeditor, but since I use MAC for everything (except gaming) it wasn't going to work for me. I suppose I could have run it in a virtual machine, but that has its draw-backs too. I'm glad it works for you!

Good Freeware Registry Editor?

Can anyone recommend a good free registry editor to a noobie for the Leo please?
I want to get tinkering... finally ... and I'm broke.
Thanks for your help in advance
Total Commander ?
Few in one, including reg editor, and for free.

and languages - http://www.ghisler.com/celang.htm
Two option for me:
On device = FDC (dot freds) task manager because you can jump between hlkm and same key in HKCU easily (as well as use it as a full featured task man)
but I prefer to use Mdsoft.pl Ceregeditor from desktop Pc through activesync/WMDC it's so simple and effective that the others are pointless.
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?lang=en
http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
CeRegEditor via activesync. i guess it's the easier and the best of free ones.
Thanks all!!
PHM RegEdit it good too. Nice and simple.

HD2 tweak 1.0 released
If you've gotten lazy after playing with HD2 for a week or two,
(was there ever life before the HD2?) you can do many stuff
without going into the registry (where a fingertypo can kill your OS)
you can go and download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305 BsB tweak.
what about this install of the .net framework will this affect or damage anything, as in will it mess up the Sense ui?

HD" Registry editor on Desktop PC

Hi everyone,
Is there a registry ediitor out there that can be used from my PC to edit the HD2 registry?
I've just reflashed my HD2 and tried restoring the registry but it wouldn't load, so have quite a few changes l'd like to do.
Thanks.
Owen.
Soti Pocket Controller allows this and a whole lot more. It's how I edit my Leo registry and is by far the best way. Unfortunately, it's commercial but has a demo for you to try.
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
Thank you, l'll try it and see what it has to offer.

How to create a .reg file (what's the format)

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
Some more recent findings you might want to take a look into you need them anyway when you're getting into UC;

Use SK-Tools (not free, though partly functional) it exports registry and can create a cab! It has also a reg editor. Plus...

This Rollup is an excellent overall HTC FAQ IMHO. It'll give you a very good overall impression of how to flash a ROM.
When you too are in cooking ROM's then this thread 'll interest you!
