Hi guys,
sorry for noobiness but i have tried my best searching the forum with no luck.
Basically i'm trying to make an edit to my registry using total commander but cant understand how to change the value.
All i've found in the forum is assistance on how to get to the desired key/sub key etc. I can get to the file fine, just not sure how/what alteration needs doing. Heres the edit i'm attempting:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeLSKText = Contacts
Do i edit 'HomeLSKPath'? and if so to what? Actually it says "Function not supported" when i try that.
Thanks so much for any help you can give me!
you are trying to change value, but you dont what you are suposed to change it to?
Or did I misunderstand?
I think I uderstand that you dont know HOW to change it.. but do you know WHAT you are changing it to?
ok.. I didn;t know Total Commander had a reg editor.
I just played with it, and I highly recommend you get PHM reg editor. Google it. It's free.
If you insist on Total Commander, you should be able to tap and hold the item you want to modify and choose properties.
The current value will be shown.
Change it to what you want it to be.
Please be careful.. if you mess up a value you may need to Hard reset your phone.
You are trying to modify your left softkey in Manilla.. What you posted looks like it's either currently mapped to contacts, or you want to change it to be contacts...

I guess you're trying to edit it with the Notepad button. All you have to do is just double-tap the HomeLSKPath to edit its value
Hey thanks alot for the help guys!
And thanks x51, i downloaded PHM reg editor and its much better than total commander.
Ok so i think i'm pretty sure how to edit the file now, the question is to what?
the edit i'm trying is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
so should i set the HomeLSKPath value (i think its empty at the moment) to this whole line? !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
thanks again

so encase anyone else is like me and HATES word suggestion in wm6 i am going to post how to disable it for good (yes u can re-enable it) some roms already have this fix put in.. for example core 2.0 and 2.0n do but xm6.0 doesn't and being that i run xm6.0 along with alot of other people i figured id post this so they can benefit from it too!
now i know your already thinking this has been covered and there is a cab called wsuggfix.cab and yes thats true, however that cab doesnt cover both entries it only covers the one! now i take zero credit for this because it was already done here.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291785&highlight=word+suggestion+fix+cab all i did was follow the 2nd post and export the .reg file so that you can import it.
what you have to do is download the attached .zip file it includes 2 files.. wsuggfix.cab and 20070611.reg (which is a export of the 2nd reg key to fix the word suggestion) install the cab file.. wait a few seconds.. go into start > settings > input > word completion and make sure its turned off.. once it is then you can import the .reg file.. wait about 20 seconds and soft reset your device!
maybe someone can pack the cab and the .reg file into 1 single cab file? that would be great! i dont know how to do it sorry!
any questions/comments just ask
have a nice day!
thanks jacob...that was driving me insane!
I opened the cab file and Imported the reg key.... Don't know if it will work or not but thought I would give it a try... Let me know if it works!!

Worked great ran cab file then soft reset no more suggestions.
sorry, but do you know why can't I use the arrows up/down to select words when "word suggestion" is enabled ? I use ROM Pandora 3.1.
Thanks
sms
i apply the fix and registry files and all worked as expected but i want to enable the word suggestion when i type a name in the "to" field of the text messages.
how can i do it?
thankss!
Yep - how can word suggestion be re-enabled again? I'd like to know this one too.
You're a GOD
This is great... finally a miracle
no more word suggestions.. they were always wrong.. so who need them
Re-Enable Word Suggestion
Anyone have a cab to Re-Enable Word Suggestion?
Possible solution
After you install the .cab and apply the registry fix, uninstall the cab. This work for me.
Cannot Uninstall Cab
Unfortunately I have no cab to uninstall as this was part of the cooked WM6 ROM I have loaded. Is there a way to disable it from running in the registry?
Play Time - Registry Settings - Works

Iv'e started this thread after several PMs regarding this topic
Please feel free to post your tips on how to customize/personalize your roms before flashing.
Heres one to start from my inbox before i deleted it

I have done a similar thing, by putting the "owner" info into the rom and changing the registry to remove the "owner info" control pannel applet then when they hard reset they get my welcome note same as you and also they can't disable/change owner details
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Do you think that you could explain to a n00b like me how you can edit the rom or whatever so that the owner details cannot be changed?
Thanks
Get a registry editor like resco regedit or something like, goto
HKLM\controlpanel\Owner
and add a new string value called
"Redirect" and leave the value blank
now delete the dword "group"
save and reset device
If you are cooking you have to search the registry for the dword "group=0" and change to String "redirect="
Now that I've been around for a little while I will try this now, but If I ever wanted to change the details (say i was to sell it or whatever, which I REALLY don't want to do) what do you do?
The best way is to reflash a standard Rom without your personal details in. if you only want to modify it reverse the registry settings with a reg editor note this must be done after a hard reset every time. best to reflash your custom rom again modifying the settings first.
I cannot for the life of me figure out where the setting is to change the text on your tf3d tabs. Out of the box my AT&T Fuze says "email" for the touchflo email tab, I would like it to say "Email".
Sorry if this has been posted already but I searched.

It can be done by editing the 26948339_manila file in windows... If you have no clue what you are doing I suggest you get over you OCD as messing with this file in the wrong way can mess up tf3d.
Detailed instructions on how to accomplish this would be most appreciated... I couldn't find the file in the windows folder in my File Explorer (im assuming its hidden). What programs do I need to install and what steps need to be taken in order to successfully edit this value?
Thanks.

It can also be done by editing 090661f7_manila, which is where the names for all the tabs are defined. Find the line that says:
<trans-unit id="IDS_EMAILTITLE">
and edit the line under it to say:
<source>Email</source> [instead of <source>email</source>]
and then re-start TF3D. Like rymonday said, though, you can really screw stuff up if you mess up an edit in one of these files so do so at your own risk!
Would I edit the manila file on my PC with Notepad? Then replace it on my phone and change the properties with Total Commander or is there another way?
Anyone want to chime in on how to properly edit this file?

* Disable TouchFLO from Settings>Today>Items
* Use Total Commander (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2286376) and find the "090661f7_manila" file. Change the attributes (remove Read Only flag - have to tap twice to get rid of the "ghosted" checkmark). Click OK to save the file changes.
* Then edit the file as ITNV posted (again, with Total Commander)
Find the line that says:
<trans-unit id="IDS_EMAILTITLE">
and edit the line under it to say:
<source>Email</source> [instead of <source>email</source>]
and then re-start TF3D.

Worked perfectly for me.
Thx guys!
Perfect! Thank you everyone!

I have DefaultKeyLock, InitialDelay, IsUnicodeFromKeybd, LongEndFunction, MuteSwitch, OnlyPlayWhenSleepSlideOut, PostMessageUnicode, RepeatRate, ShowWarningMsg, StylusOutStatus
Hi. Here's my regs.. you may import it with a reg editor or scroll as txt searching for differences..
hoping it may helps!
thank u ur a lifesaver
hi everybody !
i have blackstone mobile , i need to edit registry for some application ..
could anyone tell me how to do that clearly plz ..
i'm using ' REGEDIT ' application ..
get total commander it got a nice regeditor
Yeah, TC will be easier to use. Go to \\Plugins\Registry, and then navigate to the registry entry like you would with file explorer. When you get to the key you want, click on it and a little applet will pop up where you can change the value. Change it, click 'ok' and then in most cases you need to soft reset to get the change to take place. That's all there is to it. HKLM stands for 'hard key local machine', HKCU is '... Current User,' and HKCR is '... classes root.'
Since you don't know what you're doing, be sure to do a full back up beforehand in case you do something dumb.
Have a look at this guide for noobies to registry http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4257844&postcount=30
