Can't get phone settings panel to close

Alright, I'm at my wit's end here. I've been trying to port over some of the AKU 3.3 files directly from the tmobile WWE rom. Everything is working flawlessly except I cannot get the phone panel to close when I press the X. I'm not sure if it has to do with the ringtone player or not. I've changed the phones settings dll to the one in the crossbow rom and the reg settings check out. It's frustrating as all get out because I'm close to having this thing ready to release. Thanks.

Make sure the ringtone plays if not it will not close.... Fix that problem and it will probably work (make sure the tone is in the right place, make sure the registry points to \windows\. If you want to store them on your card just create a folder called, My Documents. And inside that folder create a folder called My Ringtones. Put your tones in there.

I does play. That's the thing. Also, it seems as if the interface has a problem. When I hit "open speed dial" after hitting the menu button, it gives me the settings-services page.

You may be on to something as the ringtone will not change. I wonder if this is hard coded into the registry somewhere. I'll have to check around.

Bump. This is driving me up the wall.

In the kitchen thread I posted the MediaOS files. I'd suggest either verifying that all the files are there - or just replacing the whole set.

Did you find any final solution?
I'm facing the same problem with my Trinity ... even the MediaOs folder replace didn't work out!!!

Yes, this was a result of the DRM modules being included in the OEM folder while cooking along with the registry settings. You'll have to look at the folder but all modules related to lsmoa must be removed along with the registry settings referencing those modules. Good luck.

[Q] How to overwrite Htchomesetting.xml

I have an edited htchomesettings.xml that i want to put on my jade.
Everytime i try to drag 'n drop this file into my windows folder, i get the 'acced denied, be sure the file isn't read-only, in use or that you have enough space left'-error.
When looking at the file's properties (with Resco or total commander) it seems to be fixed in the Rom and i think that's the reason i can't overwrite it.
I already googled it and found some topics concerning this problem, and generally they all give the same advice:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2736263&postcount=500
the problem is, i already used both programs, and apparently it does not seem to work, or i'm doing it wrong or i'm overlooking something...
So, can anyony tell me how to overwrite this file with total commander or resco, if this is possible.
Many thanks, and sorry if this is a stupid question, i searched the web for about 3 hours before asking you guys .

It's a little easier than that. The only thing you need to do is make sure that the plugin is not running. In other words, deactivate the plugin in the Settings menu. Then, do a soft reset, just to make sure that the system has stopped using it. Then you can copy and paste with any program that you like. I have found that using a PC (via ActiveSync) works best. Good luck!!

Thanks for the quick reply thunder.
Unfortunately, it did not work out. I deactivated TouchFlo already (and did the reset). And still it gives me the same error.
"Cannot copy HtcHomeSettings. Make sure your device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type"
This time I simply used Active sync as you told me.
Again, does it have something to do with the fact that this file is hardcoded on the rom?

Unfortunately, if it is built into the rom, you will probably have a hard time copying over it. Have you tried to edit the file directly on the phone? I believe that there are a few xml editors for ppc floating out there, you could try that. Also, is there anything in particular that you want to do that requires you to modify the xml? Reason I am asking is because you could use M2D Customizer if you are only looking into modifying some settings. Hope this helps...

Allright, found out how to overwrite it!
Made a .m2dct file containing my preferred theme and settings, then i edited the included HtcHomeSettings.xml file.
Then i used the M2D customizer to load the .2mdct file, and that worked perfectly.
Thanks for the hint, Thunder!

Tweaked AudioPara3 Volume and Distortion Solved

I could never hear anybody with the AT&T AudioPara4 file. I performed the registry tweak to switch to the stock AudioPara3 file. You can use Diamond Tweak to accomplish this as well with the 100db European Limit tweak. This improved the volume but distorted the speakerphone at the higher levels.
After trying a couple AudioPara3 files I decided to tweak the stock AudioPara3 ROM file. The files I tried didn't tweak the levels proportionally and/or didn't solve the issue. I've been having problems with the earpiece not being loud enough and the speakerphone distorting the call. When switching between speakerphone and the earpiece I would have to adjust the volume.
In my tweaked file I modified only the earpiece and speakerphone volumes. There are 5 volume levels for each.
The volume on the speakerphone was the same for levels 3, 4, and 5. What they did was increase the gain each level which caused clipping of the audio. What I did was shift everything up two levels and added two proportionally quieter levels to the bottom. This give none to slight clipping at the highest volume depending on the caller.
For the earpiece I shifted everything down a level and added a proportionally increased 5th volume level. This provided the additional volume I needed without clipping.
Now I can switch between the earpiece and speakerphone without having to adjust the volume level.
Make sure to backup your old AudioPara3.csv file. You will need to use Total Commander to copy the file to the \Windows directory. Afterwards soft-reset and enjoy.

Link worked great for me...as did the file! Good work!
Now if someone could expand on this and modify the BT volume so that we could hear callers on our BT headsets...the Fuze would be the perfect device

I noticed with Firefox it opens as a new page instead of with the download file dialog. Try right-clicking the link and selecting Save Link As.

I don't have a BT headset to test this with. The file is easy to tweak as it is just a CSV (comma separated value file). Don't edit with Excel as I noticed it changed the spacing in other lines. What I did was open it in Excel so it was easier to read and then changed it with notepad.
The values are stored in hex. Use the windows calculator to convert to decimal so you can get the volumes proportionally increased. Lines starting with F6 - F11 are for the speakerphone and F12 - F17 for the earpiece. I changed the rxVolume and codecRxGain columns per the post above.
There is an F18 line that states BTHEADSET but it only has one volume level. There is also F0 - F5 that are HEADSET levels. You might try tweaking those. There are also G lines at the bottom for specific vendors, but I'm not sure when they are used.

Tried your file but it saves as an excel spreadsheet its to be csv file right how to convert it then?

Hey rsw686,
Im downloading your 1.3.1 ROM right now to upgrade from your 1.2 ROM. Is this AudioPara file included in your ROM? If so I won't need to install this. Thanks

Tenxo,
Your Windows Operating System is set up to associates a csv file to your program Excel.
This means that in your case, Excel is the default program to open any csv file.
You might want to save the csv file to your hard disk. Browse the folder. Use your right mouse button in the windows explorer, with the focus on the csv file and open the file with another program (i.e. Notepad). You can edit it and save the new result.
rsw686's tip is to view a (copy of a) csv file using Excel as this can make it more user-friendly- readable. But never assume that edditing a csv file in Excel and saving it will be usable for other programs.

I tried that and was able to save the file with .csv but it still shows up as opens with excel although the name has changed to audiopara3.csv it still opens with excel...
Could you post the file as a csv so it could be just moved to the windows folder without extra converting.
Thanks

There is nothing to convert. You just copy / paste the downloaded file onto your device. I place it on the storage card and then use total commander to copy / paste it into Windows.

You are very correct...It shows as a excel file on my CP but on the phone it shows as correct csv file...I feel so silly for not moving it over to the phone first to check it.

Downloaded fine and copied to to the \Windows directory. Do I still need to modify the registry so the system knows to use the new tweaked AudioPara3 file?

I do not have access to a PC at the moment. When trying to dowload AudioPara3 file from thread it open in a new window in Opera on my phone.
Guess I need to download later at home.

As far as I can tell this particular file didn't make any difference on my phone. I put the file in my \windows directory and changed the registry setting to point to this new audiopar3 file and rebooted. Still sounds the same. Did I miss any steps?

Have you used diamond tweak to disable the 100db sound limitation? This can also be accomplished with a registry editor. The key to change is
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\AcousticFile
The stock value is \windows\AudioPara4-xxxxxx.csv. The x's vary depending on the provider. You need to change this to \windows\AudioPara3.csv which will tell it to use my tweaked file.

No, I didn't use the Diamond Tweak, I simply changed the registry settings (the same ones you indicated above) from the stock \windows\AudioPara4-_att_20080703.csv to \windows\AudioPara3.csv After that I performed a soft reset.
Is this audiopara3 the same size file as the original one, 67.2k I'm just trying to make sure that the file I copied is the right one.

Mine shows 67.2k in the file explorer. You might try downloading the file from your phone and comparing it. What did you use to copy it to the \Windows directory. I know that Total Commander works well for this. I'm fairly sure you did this, but you did make sure the volume was turned all the way up when making a call?

Mine shows the same size in Explorer as well. I used Total Commander to copy the file (which I put on my storage card) to the clipboard. Then I navigated in TC to the \windows directory and did a paste. Yeah, I turned up the volume
Maybe I'll try downloading the file again. Can the file be downloaded directly to the phone or must I use a pc? When I tried it with the phone it just opened the .csv

Sounds like you did everything right. Here's a zipped version that should download directly to the phone. It could be that you might need to tweak the file louder. I bumped it up a notch which made a big difference to me, but maybe not as much for others.

Titanium Picture to S2P

Hi, I found a post on how change the program to open pictures on titanium for the Picture tab.
HKLM\Software\Mircosoft\Shell\Rai\:MSPIMG
change to
1=HTCAlbum.exe
I changed the 1=HTCAlbum.exe to 1=s2p.exe but it tells me that hte certificate is not signed or its not a trusted program. Thats weird cause I can run it form the Programs file. How do I get it to work?
Also how do I change the directory so that it will show the pictures from \Storage Card\Picture and not \My Documents\Pictures ?

you need the full path to the program
ex. \Program Files\S2P\s2p.exe
and the picture directory, you can try the Advanced Config, it can change the location of the picture folder

Also where in advanced config can I change the picture directory?

Not entirely sure what you want to remove or from where? What device and rom you using too?

I believe the OP wants to remove a Settings shortcut. I'm not sure how to do it with 6.1, but if you're using 6.5, then you may be able to delete the registry setting for the .cpl (may take some work figuring out which is which) to get rid of the shortcut. Look for it in hklm-security-shell-startinfo-start-settings. It may not work-you'll just have to experiment.

Im confused, if the OP wants to merely delete a shortcut from a folder in the start menu (wino 6.5) he can use total commander or file explorer and manullay delete or move to a different location?
I might be missing the point here though

It's harder with Settings shortcuts, though. They don't appear in the start menu directory most of the time. Only the Program shortcut show up there. I guess yiou can also delete the registry entry for the setting in HKLM\ControlPanel. That should work if the one in HKLM\Security\Shell... doesn't do the job.

Hi, i knew i was not really clear ! I typed it from my phone... too quick.
So, i'm using wm6.1 with a stock htc rom on my touch HD.
In the settings, connections tab i see and old Wifi router entry... if i click on it nothing happens and i have fulle removed this prog. So i would like to delete this entry.
As i said, i can't find any .cpl for this entry. I looked in the registry but no way to find it.
Hope i 'm more accurate now

I don't know if these keys exist or not in 6.1, but in 6.5 there are a bunch under HKLM\ControlPanel, and a lot of them are just numbered somewhat randomly. I have 3-8, 10-15 and 35. Then there are keys for Advanced Network, Backlight, Buttons, etc. If it's numbered, you may just need to use trial and error (back up before randomly deleting, obviously).
If the app was something you installed and then removed, it may have put an actual shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Settings\Connections folder. Check to see if it exists, then delete it. I can remember having an app that did that once or twice. If you still have the cab file, you can analyze it with sk tools or winCE cab analyzer and see where it sticks the .cpl or what it's named.

Thanx. I see those random digits in the registry, but no way to identify which goes to which Andno it is not a "simple" link

Well, back up the HKLM\ControlPanel values, then start deleting the keys one at a time (you may need to soft reset after each one). When you find the key that gets rid of the shortcut you don't want, then restore all the original keys, and delete the annoying one again. It may not work, though-I'm just guessing that removing the keys will remove the shortcuts.
