[Q] Need help to restore registry keys - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am new to posting, so I hope I'm in the right place and I am not breaking any rules. I just my HTC Arrive unlocked through developer registration. I wanted to change the settings from 16-bit to 32-bit, but I think I did it wrong . I got a registry editor and in these 3 spots I edited:
HKLM/Drivers/Display/Primary/BPP to 32 (but I think it was already set to that)
HKLM/Drivers/Display/Primary/PanelBPP is set back to 16
HKLM/Drivers/Display/Primary/PrimBPP is set back to 16
I was wondering what the default values of these were because my dumb self forgot to write down what they were.
Or if someone could explain the write way to change it to 32-bit that would be great! Thank you!

reg key!

is possible for you to put in only one topic All the best reg key adjustement?
i'm a newbie but i would learn quikly..
many thx!
Try to use usenet instead of this forum. It's a little bit illegal
I think Bubu try to search Registry key and not Registration key :wink:
You are right. I'm sorry
In that case:
Dunno if you've all seen this before but you can speed up your JAM by doing the following:
1) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE
2) Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768
3) Soft reset.

I did it to my JAM...no problems so far. Does seem to be a tad faster in loading apps...remember to backup before messing with Registry values!

Manual at every sms:
Tooltje download: TRE Registry Editor
To start up --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Inbox/Setting
(care that those are open)
New - > DWORD
name: SMSDeliveryNotify
value: 1
(Should you nothing see because your keyboard in the way sits, simply blind "SMSDeliveryNotify" type (without quotations mark with
head and small characters) followed by grapple, the value comes afterwards, however, click him 1x (select) and click then on edit - > modify - > "1"
indicate value)
sounds more with difficulty than it is...

Take a look at this thread:

Modding the "lock"

And no, this is not another one of those.. " I locked myself out threads".
I used to have a Treo 700wx which worked wonderfully until I switched to ATT and bought a HTC tilt. The Tilt being way faster and everything I could ask in a phone there is 1 small problem..
With the Treo, when I went to "lock" I could enter any sequence of numbers, either being 1111 or 1234, or anything simple. With the Tilt, its not so simple.
When I try to enter a simple password, it says it must be more complex.. The exact error message is "Password Error. Please enter another password. The password must be at least 4 characters and not contain a simple sequence". That's nice and all HTC, but considering my phone is in MY pocket 90% of the day, I don't necessarily need a complex password.
Ive tried looking on xda, all the possible software sites that Google has thrown at me, and I couldn't find a single post or thread about this.
I do know there are programs out there like the iphone slider, which is amusing. and a couple of other ones with patters and whatnot.
So my question is Does anyone know of a way to make it so I could have a simple pin with the default lock program? And if not, does anyone know of a similar program that does the same thing?
The reason I ask is myself a few other windows 6.1 users have also asked the same question. If anyone knows, please share so this community will know!
Thanks

*edit* I just realized that this thread belongs in the "Questions and answers" area*
I'd suggest editing the registry, and changing the policies.
However, if you're synching with Office/Outlook Exchange servers and the server is actively pushing security restrictions to your phone periodically, you might have a hard time getting rid of said restriction permanently.
Thank you Bouvrie for your post, and I did find some useful information, but nothing to the lines of actually modding the registry to allow me to have custom passwords that are not complex.
Any more ideas?
So this part ain't of any help to you ?
Determining Password Complexity
Registry Key: HKLM\Comm\Security\Policy\LASSD\LAP\
lap_pw\PasswordComplexity
Value: 0 = Require Alphanumeric. 1 = Require numeric (PIN). 2 = No restriction.

You didn't say if it was to do with enforced security settings?
If so, this little app will help

I did think this part would work, but after looking into the registry, I found it was already set at 2. Because I do not have a password set.

I just tried this app, and it did not work the way we thought. Thanks for the try!
anyone have any ideas.. I can't seem to find any regedit keys that deal with this issue.
It's impossible BOB.

Change number of text messages per screen?

I have a Touch Pro, and love it, but I only get 12 text messages per screen before I have to tap the "Older" link to go back another 12.
It makes it really difficult to page backwards and look for a particular message.
Is this controlled through the registry? I'd like to make it display more than 12 at a time, if possible.
Thanks in advance!
Since posting this, I've gone through the Arcsoft keys in the registry and cannot find the value for this.
Either this is not controlled in the registry, or it's hardcoded somehow.
Anyone know?
I know that I'm reviving an old thread but I am interested in this concept as well. Its a pretty big pain in the ass to have to go back page by page to get to older messages, so I would like to either change it to show the entire thread which seems like it would be a major memory hog, or to significantly increase the number of texts per page.
Any help on this front would be fantastic, thanks.
Bump? Anyone?

Registry REG DWORD DATA Question

Hi all,
I am learning how to back up my registry settings (using SASHIMI - thanks bengalih), and I have a few quick questions that I suppose can be posted in one of many post regarding SASHIMI, but I decided to ask a question here because it is not srictly connected to SASHIMI, and more people can find this info usefull.
The background problem:
I am trying to back up my favorite Contactx Order in favpeople Manila tab. I found th place in the registy where the data is stored:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\People\FavoriteOrder]
There, for one of the people the data stored is:
"0"=dword:8000003E
(in HEXadecimal , or 2147483710 in Decimal values).
I have checked if the same reg value is always added to the same person (last call person in registry - for example) , and the answer is positive.
The Questions:
- is it possible to find out what is the connection between persons and assigned numbers (other then to change the settings, and then look in the registry for assigned DATA value to specific registry key)?
- I took the favpeople as an example, but the different types of Reg Keys has for DATA values (Programs, different settings...) - What about them?
and even more important:
- will the same numbers be assigned to the same people after:
- Performing hard reset (I assume they will be)
- Changing the ROM (again - I assume they will be)
- on the other WM device (I know that there are small differences in registry settings among diff. devices, but once that person find out that different registry location - can he use the data backed up from previous device or must he start drilling trough registry settings from start)?
Thank you in advance for the answer,
Cheers,
Nenad
p.s. - some programs use reasonable words and terms for registry DATA value, and that puts the smile on my face as everything is transparent and clear. Others, unforunately, adds this "crypted" data and I get frustrated when I want to insulate data that should be stored as the back up...
Hi,
am I asking in a wrong forum
I did a hard reset, and the favorite people I restored (by SASHIMI) are messed up. Wrong people, wrong order...
Am I missing something?
The tab order, program shortcuts and lot of other stuff came up OK, though
Is it posible that DWORD is randomly dedicated with new (hard) reset?
For example:
I make a back up of the registry with certain DWORD dedicatred to certain people (the ones I put in my fav people tab), and then if I add/ remove people from my contact list, the sequence is disorderd, and the back up performed after hard reset puts wrong people in the fav people tab?
Thanks for eventual answer,
Cheers,
p.s. - is there any link where I could get some BASIC info about mentuioned stuff (dword etc) - the search is useless, as every third post uses these key words...

[Q] Can't find how to interop-unlock HTC Trophy w/NoDo, help..

I apologize if this has been talked about or asked about before, but I've spent hours searching and couldn't find a concrete step-by-step answer.
I currently have the HTC Trophy (Verizon), it is running NoDo (7392) and is dev-unlocked (student unlocked). I am trying to figure out how to Interop-unlock the phone while I am still on NoDo. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't an Interop-unlock allow you to sideload more than 10 applications?
If someone can provide me with some assistance, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
With a NoDo Dev-unlock, you can side load Schap's Registry Editor and then you need to change a registry value. Have you used any registry editors?
The change is;
Registry Key = HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install\MaxUnsignedApp
datatype = integer
value = 2147483647
You basically type this in manually into the Registry Editor and save. Then reboot phone. Please be careful and I am just summarizing the steps here from memory so I may have forgotten a step (I don't accept responsibility)
Thanks for the reply. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction as to the step-by-step instructions on how to interop-unlock on NoDo? You mentioned installing Schap's Registry Editor and changing a value, but then mentioned that you're summarizing from memory.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
Go to this site and download version 1.1.0.0 of the registry editor.
http://forum.touchxperience.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=593
Use the Application Deployment program that you have from the AppHub to deploy to your phone.
Launch Registry Editor and select the pencil at the bottom (this is manual mode).
Enter the following:
Path
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg\Install\
Value Name
MaxUnsignedApp
Value Type
Integer
Value Data
2147483647
Then select OK and then accept the warning. Reboot. Done.
Thanks very much. I will give that a try this weekend and post the results here.
Question- how do I make a backup of my current phone? Is there an application I can use to make a backup? I'm guessing that's the next step before doing the interop-unlock (or even attempting to upgrade to Mango after doing the interop-unlock), in case something breaks and I need to roll-back to NoDo.
Please let me know, thanks.
