[Q] Which registry editor do you use? | Common registry editor? - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello xda-developers
I'd like to know if there's a common registry editor (or method) which gives full access on all Windows Phone 7 devices (HTC, Samsung, LG, ...)? It really would help me with my tutorial (which is already on in the development section - just needs some improvement)
If there's no tool which can do it, please tell me which phone model you have and which registry editor you tried and like
I'd really appreciate your help Thanks in advance!

I think there are registry editors for WP7, but they only work on developer or unlocked phones. Normal marketplace certified apps aren't allowed to manipulate registry in that way.
By the way: how does this unofficial registry editor work? Usage of private API involved?

Yes, it's homebrew and not allowed on the marketplace. And I guess the unofficial registry editors work with those private API's.
Well, still searching for a good method to edit registry on all devices By the way: Does someone know a good registry editor for HTC devices?

hello,
btw, is there a reg editor for HD7 that will give access to the 'access restricted', so as to be able to do some of the recomendations? It seems everyone is seeking a solution, but I didn't see any real answer or programs out there to do...
just that hb for the samsung...
hope someone has an answer soon..
thanks

Well, I'm not into registry editors for HTC devices, but maybe someone can help you By the way, it's important to tell us what version of WP7 you use (7004, 7008 or higher..)
Thanks

command line registry export tool

is there a tool that can export a registry branch via command line?
already search google and this forum but came up with nothing.
when my device hard resets on its own i always loose my application settings and scores in games like astraware. they keep this informations in registry.
if this tool exists, i can just schedule a daily exporting of some branches from my registry to my storage card and import them again later.

you mean the nScriptm tool?
ill check it out. looks like it is capable. let you know later...thanks.
amazing little tool. packed with powerful features. (equivalent of the almighty PowerPro for windows http://www.ppro.org. )
it's almost perfect except that it doesn't support unicode. some apps are using unicode entries in the registry.
nice find though. i'll surely find many uses for this.
Here an exemple of my use that inscribe in larger need
View with NScript help what are the commande that i used
looks like you did overcome the unicode limitation using a workaround. thanks! i'll have a look at your script.
btw, i can't understand the comments. what language is it? i'll try to run in through a translator.
It's french, sorry it was for my use
thanks. you're the best!

WM6 Registry Editing Guide?

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.

Registry Editor

Can someone here tell me how to edit my registry without a downloaded registry editor? Before you reply about just downloading one i want to know what microsoft uses to edit the registry kinda like regedit in windows! I have read here and you have a lot of useful info! So i kinda figured i would ask some of you guys.Thanks in advance! I am sorry i meant to put i have a HTC touch pro running windows mobile 6.1!!!
there is no build in regeditor in wm
but you can write reg commands in a console of
cause you have to download a console program to fire
them but when you do you can just write the same commands
as stated in the .reg file
Any idea what microsoft uses? Do their techs have to install a third party app? If so i would like to know what one they use! It seems silly not to be able to edit the registry with the operating system!!???? Is windows mobile a client OS????? Maybe if i can find that .reg file i can maybe open it in word or something and edit it! But it just doesnt make any sense to me I have dealt with every os in the windows family besides these and for every one there was a way to edit this!
microsoft doesnt do most of their development on the phones themselves, they have direct access to registry through the builders and emulators. if you want to do registry edits on the phone itself, get a third party program. it wont kill you. i recommend total commander, its a full file browers thats less restrictive and can edit the registry, it has a text editor, ftp client, and can do windows sharing. it can apparently import .reg files but i havent figured that out yet.

Total Commander is an excellent app to add to your phone. Access the regedit part from Plugins/registry. Usual caveat, backup before making changes.

The big question about registry edits

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

[Q] htc snap

I recently purchased a htc snap S523, i have the same question that a lot of people have asked, re LED notification time out. I understand changing some of the values in the registry files may fix this, but the big question is, how do you access the registry files to make those changes.
I ve searched the net trying to find registry editing software, but no good, i dont mind if i have to pay for it but can someone please recommend a trusting website?
"desperate for the blink"
Thank you,
Reace.
