Does anybody know how to view/browse/export in readable format WP7 registry hives, user.hv & system.hv?
I'm trying to resolve issue with LiveID change; and I found (using hex viewer), the old LiveID still exists (two entries) in the system.hv, but I can't find the exact path to these values
This program doesn't works:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587584
Any suggestions? Thanks!
P.S. 2 moderators: please, do not move this post to Q&A! It's very specific dev&hacking question; only our whitehats can help me but I afraid they never read Q&A forum

mRegEdit should work if I remember it's name correctly There are also guides on this section for changing the live id through registry without resetting the phone. That search on the top of this page works

Hmm... Seems like you should try that search first... I wrote that guide, first of all.
Second, mRegEdit (it's a link in my first post! you don't even tried to click!) is NOT working for WP7 hive files (and I don't have source code).
Before post useless "suggestions" and RTFM advises, next time try to understand and research issue first.
We do actually read Q&A, or at least I do, but yeah... I've never tried pulling apart the hive files directly. It would be nice if the Search feature in the TouchXperience registry editor would actually search the data like it claims to do... there's only one registry key, and no registry values, that have my live ID as their name.
There is a way to do a full registry dump of a mounted hive. It requires being able to read the output of provxml, though - not sure if that's possible on Samsung. I could try doing it on my (HTC) phone and then search it for my Live Id, however. Basically, do a characteristic-query on a root element, and enable recursion.
It's also worth noting that the Live ID may not be stored as an email address everywhere that matters. Some features might just store a GUID, for example. I don't know of anything that does, but if you manage to change all of the email strings but are still having problems, that might be why.
GoodDayToDie, I've copied hive files (system.hv and user.hv) using WP7 Root Tools (from the \Windows\Registry) to desktop (via ISF) I'm not sure, may be it's just a shadow copies but both files have my new LiveID inside. Also I found 2 entries of the old LiveId (and already found location of the first - it's \HCLM\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Usage\SignedInUser) but that value change to the new one, current LiveID + reboot don't help much.
Probably, previous LiveID's hash or token is stored somewhere in the registry I'm afraid, without tracing it will be very hard to find one...
Update: I found a way to decode (but partially, unfortunately) these registry hives
Unpack attached archive, copy system.hv and user.hv to that directory and run 1.bat.

if you want to use that program, you must first use in conjunction with WMDC/ActiveSync Launcher.
else, you can just use HVEdit.

Why? It's a desktop program. Works fine for WinMo ROM hives but not for WP7.

I believe, problem is in the cereg400.dll. Seems like it's outdated for WinCE version used in WP7.

CeRegEditor utilizes ActiveSync & WMDC to connect & access the registry on the device.

Another "hmm"... I don't need drag&drop (you can see my status, I'm not a noob but experienced developer with ... he-he, le' me remember ... more than 20 years of development), I'm using Far Manager (and may recommend it to you). But HVEdit can't parse WP7 hive files (with or without drag&drop). If you don't believe me, try yourself, it's very easy.

oops, my mistake. i don't know about mRegEdit, haven't ever used or read of until now, for that matter. CeRegEditor can open *.hv, but not all registry are opened.

aren't you looking to do this? see below attachments.
I've tried on my hive files, copied from the working Focus (by using WP7 Root Tools + ISETool) and HVEdit can't parse these files. May be because I've copied already opened files or shadow copies (I'm not sure).
Your example is for default.hv (I believe, that file was extracted from ROM, not from the working phone, correct?)
P.S. By the way, I already "solved" parsing hives (see my posts above) but it didn't solve the "change LiveID" problem Looks like WP7 stored somewhere previous LiveID token or hash.

when i get home, i will extract the two *.hv files from my HD7 and give it a try.
i believe i had done that before and it worked, but can't be positive on whether i actually did or not.
OK, thanks. You may also try attached (in my post above) rgucomp.exe (it worked for me partially).

Hi mate,
If I understand correctly I believe sh4d0w86 is right, with HVedit you can view/browse/export in readable format WP7 registry hives like user.hv, system.hv and even default.hv.
I am doing that since I cook my first WP7 custom ROM.
Just drag the *.hv file on top of HVedit.exe and immediatly an *hvm file will be created that can easly be edited with any text editor.
Than you can do the same drag and drop process with the *.hvm and the file will be restored to *.hv again.
Hope it helps

hmm. well, sounds like you should try WMDC Launcher in conjunction with WMDC/ActiveSync and maybe WP7 Root Tools v0.9.
less, you want me to try it with your *.hv file(s). you can email them to me, if you want.

Try for what? As I said before, I already found places with the old LiveID (so I don't need parsing tool anymore), but changing to the new LiveID didn't solve the SkyDrive/Twitter access issue.

Hello Friends,
I have managed the new WM6 kitchen based on Ivan's new (17913.0.3.0) build. This is a clean vanilla kitchen, you can add your own flavor and the way you want it.
I've uploaded the kitchen to the following url and hope that you will like it.
http://www.siemens-bd.net/files/000000
Files have been splited into 10 parts (5MB each) because of my unstable internet connection here. Uploading a 50MB file for me is simply a nightmare! Please download all of them and unrar.
You will find two cmd files (1. BuildKitchen.cmd and 2. CreateROM.cmd) inside the ROM_DEV folder after the unrar.
Step-1: Run the BuildKitchen.cmd (first time only), it will dump the rom and prepare the kitchen for you.
[Additionally, you may use it to dump other WM6 rom and prepare the kitchen. In that case, decode the rom, copy (or overwrite) the nk.nba file to the ROM folder and run this cmd to build the kitchen.]
Step-2: Run the CreateROM.cmd to build the rom...as usual.
You will find a Ranju_OEM folder under the ROM_DEV folder. Some of the oem packages have been added if anyone is interested to use. Just copy your desired packages to the OEM folder and build the rom.
And finally, all credit goes to Ivan. Special thanx to Helmi, Midget, Bepe and Tuatara for their tools and support.
By the way, I've a limited bandwidth to this server, it will be great if someone mirror it somewhere.
Best regards,
Ranju

Clean Vanilla: What did you remove from the ROM?

Very good Job: just like i was thinking. Probably I don't need any other apps for OEM.

Did you modify any cmd file?
If not, then delete the temp folder. Do a search on SYS & OEM for "Thumbs.db" and delete them if found any. Run the CreateROM.cmd.
I suppose "Thumbs.db" have been created by your picture browser apps.
"Thumbs.db" is a file that Windows XP (and Vista) create if you preview a picture or movie. Its not important at all (although Windows will complain that it is a "System File")
(Nifty fact: Windows XP can create the "thumbs.db" file in a read-only network share!)
Thanks for the info, i'll try deleting and recompile.
Deleted, compiled and flashed: every essential function i tested is working. The kitchen is very clean! Many thanks ranju!
Little update of the kitchen
This is a little update of the kitchen:
* Due to the slow response of the phone, dialing/ending tone have been removed
* Update for HTC Task Manager 1.5 (Exclusive apps can be added now)
Please download the zip and copy/replace to the associated folder.
Update: HTC Task Manager cab attached.

Can you please make a cab of it so that we can install. Dont want to go through re in stalling rom. Appreciate
Or if you can advice the registry entries for both above issues please.
Phone.cab
A cab file for the file in phone.zip is not that difficult since it's just a couple of registry entries.
The other one is more difficult since it also includes files.
So just to help a little, a cab file for the registry stuff in the phone.zip
Actually not that difficult
When comparing the old and new files, I noticed that just the RGU file is different.
Since this is the file with registry settings, I made a quick cab for it.
So not to replace the previous HTC Manager install or anything like that, just to corrent the registry entries.
ps. This and the previous file are not made/reviewed/anything by Ranju, but I've just given them him (her?) name to avoid confusion.

Hello.
I'v trying this for a couple of hours without effects.
Dumped rom, builded modules with PKGTool. Files are in OEM/Oemdrivers and SYS/Chome. It does't run by just copying. Need some way to regsvr dll files. Because Chome plugin is accesing partial plugins by GUID.
Anyone have idea?
I did the exact same thing. I haven't had any time to try anything else because I have finals next week. I'll let you know if I get anything

or better just backup HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\ and send me PM - I'll sent my mail.
You can use Registry Workshop to do this.
Those keys don't contains any personal information or settings so it's safe- don't worry.

When I tried flashing my first rom with all of the CHome plugin stuff in it, the ROM flash to the wizard stopped at 78%...

copy all the files in Windows to Windows folder. Add all the registry entries and copy T-mobile_basic_blue to Application Data\home\ folder.
Once I've tried to put all the files to my phone, I even got all the regedits (or maybe I've missed something) and I just got a white space on my homescreen.
how do i add the registry's to my phone?? do i add them with a reg edit app??

You cannot normally import .reg files on smartphones. However Resco Explorer from resco.net can do that.

I tried on qtek 8500. It doesn't run and after reset the device stucks. Need a hard reset to factory defaults to work again. fortunately I had a backup.
I just got my own T-Mobile Shadow and I found out that you need to have a .scheme/.home XML file that sets the plugin. I think it's called cmhome.home. Also, you need cmhomeres.dll.0409. I'm going to try adding these in to the rom...

EDIT: I just tried a test cabinet file (opera mini) which contains a _setup.xml file, and it said that it did not? same results in a different .cab that had an _setup.xml file in it

Coded in vb.net (3.5) (Visual Studio 2008)
I've tested it on every CAB file I had (dumped a copy of all my cab files in c:\temp and ran Cab2OEM.EXE C:\temp\*)
Where can I download opera mini cab file to test it?

Hmm... first test and you find a bug... I must be an idiot since a simple thing like that is not working...
Try:

ok, this worked better, but I still got this error:

Some problems resolved but opera.cab still won't work as it contains a 'multiplestring' registry key which I'm not sure how to decode
Any chance you have an OEM package for this allready? Could you send me the RGU file?

Can't seem to figure out why your RGU files "CustomClassNames" ends with 00,00... if you open _setup.xml in a hex editor it's 80,80... also the \ in the middle makes no sense to me...
EDIT:
Found this regarding the \
"Large Value Data Strings can span onto more than one line, in which case each line (except the last one) is terminated by a comma (,) followed by a SINGLE backslash mark (\) and consecutive lines are separated by carriage returns (CR)"
...so it's not important

the '\' is used to break a line and multiplestring values are terminated with a double zero byte, one per string and one for the whole string, you can find this info on msdn btw...

But I don't understand why I'm seeing 4A4245445F544558544649454C443F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3FEF8080 and not 4A4245445F544558544649454C443F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3F3FEF0000 when looking at the _setup.xml file in a hex editor. Any ideas?
I'm using System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes to read the string and converting each of them to a string (using ToString("X2"))
The RGU file mbarvian posted has 0000 in the end ...

Nice app, I'll have to give this a go when I get time to start cooking again.
I've added it to wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Cooking
I'm not too sure about a sticky, no other ROM cooking tools are. Just my 2c's.

well, I'm very glad to say that I have not had any problems with v0.0.0.4
great job and I look forward to future releases man
There are some flaws in the conversion. Hopefully, this can be fixed in the next version. Here's the description of the flaws:
1. For "\" that is specifying a path, the rgu should have "\\". For eg. "\Windows\Cookies" should be "\\Windows\\Cookies".
2. For " that is specifying a long path, the rgu should have "\". For eg. ""jbed.exe" -m %1" should be "\"jbed.exe\" -m %1".
Another flaw for registry with DWORD key. It produces the RGU file which uses decimal value in the DWORD key, which is completely wrong. Hopefully this can be fixed in next version, too.
Hi all,
has anyone tried this one already ?
Link
It seems to add some functionality to the Notification Manager (like turning on/off WiFi, for example). But I'm afraid it will not install, because we have the new Notification Manager already.
What do you say ?

Marcos
Tried without success. Installation failed without any explanations.

I'd like to have it say "Battery" aswell...
I'd really like to see the battery word + icon on the notification manager to access its setting quickly (insted of settings tab - show all - system - battery...) any news or solution for the missing word? is it stable, and worth a try? please note that I have a touch pro 2.. thanks a lot for the info guys!

Yes, there is a way to add the "Battery" string in front, but it requires you to edit a MUI file.
Let me explain:
When you install the distributed cab file it installs on your device various graphic files, plus 2 MUI files. These MUI files are for WWE devices. If your device is set to use other language as default (like mine which is set to work with Greek) then these two MUI files will be installed on your system, but they will be ignored, and the ENM will take it's strings from the original MUI that won't be overwritten by the installation.
There are two ways to get the "Battery" string showing.
The first way is to replace the original MUI files of NM with the new ones that the cab installs. This method arises another problem though: If you do so, the entire NM will be shown in WWE and NOT on your language. This means that you'll get the "Battery" string but all the other strings will be in English and not your language (e.g. Greek)
The second way is a little more tricky, but it has guaranteed results:
You just edit the original MUI file of your device to add the "Battery" string!
Since editing MUI files is tricky I'll post a quick guide on how to do it, but you may need to Google for it to get more details.
Everything will be done on your PC. You will need the following:
1. A MUI unsigner - Signer
2. A Resource Editor
3. The MUI file
I wish I had kept the links, but I only have the apps, so I can't tell you from where to get these apps. The MUI unsigner-signer I get it from these very forums (XDA). Use search to find it. For a resource editor I used XN Resource Editor
The MUI file you will get it from your device. Just browse your phone's Windows directory and copy NotificationManager.dll.XXXX.MUI file on your PC
The .XXXX.MUI part is actually the number of your language. For instance in my case I needed the NotificationManager.dll.0408.MUI which is the GREEK MUI file.
1.
Copy the MUI file on a short path on your PC, something like C:\Temp\MUI\
2.
Extract the MUI unSigner-Signer on the same path
3.
Run the MUI unsigner to unsign your MUI file
4.
Use the resource editor to edit the MUI file. Depending on the case you may need to add the string, or just edit it. We need to fill the string numbered 176.
If the string exists and it's empty just edit it to fill in the string of your desire. If it doesn't exists then create a new string and pay attention on the LANGUAGE selection upon the new string creation menu. It should be the same language as the rest strings on your file. Keep in mind that ALL resource editors will add 16 string in a row. That's normal, and it doesn't matter. Just use the create string command until you have a "176" value that you can edit. Once you edit the "176" String to say whatever you want it to say, save the file and exit Resource editor.
5.
Use MUI signer to sign your file
6.
Copy the modified MUI file somewhere on your device. Don't try to copy it directly on windows directory. The file is marked as "system" and windows won't let you overwrite it.
7.
Once you have copied the modified file on your device, use an application like Total Commander to do 2 tasks:
a. Backup the original file (by copying it somewhere) and
b. Replace the original file with the modified one.
8. Soft Reset your device and everything should be ok now!
PS:
By no way this is a complete guide on how to do it. It's just what I recall from the process I followed some time ago in order to do it myself.
Directions on how to use MUI unsigner-Signer you'll find on the thread that you'll get it.
PS2:
Be safe: KEEP A BACKUP OF YOUR ORIGINAL FILE FIRST!!!
PS3:
Have fun. If someone needs the Greek Translated MUI file PM me. I have also posted it on the ENM thread back at the time I created it...
EDIT: Here's the link of the Greek MUI file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4039484&postcount=125

There are many different property files as well as scripts that can be edited. Hope on over to the android dev and hacking forums on xda for more info. There is no equivalent of a single registry but the build.prop file is a good place to start. :fingers-crossed:

As sbdags pointed out, there is no regedit. Android is derived from GNU/Linux. Traditionally, all global configuration files are in /etc and all local configuration files are in your home directory as dot files. Unfortunately, android stores configuration files in a whole bunch of different places.
What are you looking to configure? I'm sure we can help.
Most Android apps store their settings in SQLite databases (use any SQLite client to edit .db files). Some system-wide settings are managed using the Android property system (use getprop and setprop from a command line).

Fortunately, app-specific settings are stored in app-specific files and not in a giant registry blob that keeps accumulating outdated stuff.
