Can I map an application to the short-press of the power button?
I'd like the connection manager to show up rather than the profiles list.
Is that possible? If so, how?
Couldn't find no .lnk that seemed to fit so I guess it's a registry thing...?
Saw some similar threads in other device specific forums but didn't find any actual answer, figured the keymapping is device specific thus didn't post in the new general forum, hope my thinking was right.
You can map an application to the short-press of the power button with CeleTask. Open CeleTask, go to Tools-Action-Add Tool, choose thru "..." application you need, and mark "REPLACE QUICK LIST". Thats all. Good luck;-)
Celetask can do that too
Thanks for the info guys, I'll check that thing out.

Still, since I like to tweak my devices manually, does anyone know how changing the power button functionality works in detail?
Make copy of your registry before you doing manipulation with CeleTask and after. Compare them, and you will see where in registry you can do what you want;-)
Hi Everyone,
I, like many of you, spend way to much time setting phones up over and over again. Since a big part of this is registry edits, I have built a web site that allows you to check off the registry options you want, which it then uses to create a downloadable CAB file to install that will contain all of those registry tweaks. This makes things completely reversible by uninstalling the CAB file.
Notes:
This is Beta. While I have used it, and it's a very basic process, it isn't commercial software by any means.
If you would like to add a new feature, post in this thread.
You may install more than one cab file created with this tool. Just use different names at the bottom of the form.
Without further delay, here's the site:
<edit> The tool has now moved to nowsci.com. If you have any issues, please let me know. </edit>

* hold for updates *
Update 1: HTML now renders mobile friendly, so you can use this straight from your device.
Update 2: Edit feature added.
Update 3: Can now manually specify string or integer.
Update 4 [11/17/2008]: Can now specify the app name for install, allowing the user to have more than one Registry Changer cab installed at any point in time.
Update 5 [03/27/2009]: Fixed some character flaws for input. Preparations for move to a new host.
Update 6 [04/22/2009]: Added a filter option.
The site now has the ability for the end user to add registry entries to the database.
Thank you very much. I believe the "Camera Enhancements" entry is mis-titled. Shouldn't it be Rotate Picture 90 degrees, not 180 degress?
Doh! I will fix that.
Also, just added all the registry entries from the Diamond Tweaks post.
What about the Bluetooth DUN profile adding to the list? - Mike
What's the registry entries for that? Happy to add them, or you can add them yourself now through the site.
What happens if you tweak a registry entry that does not exist on your specific device or rom?
Good question. For the most part, I would guess nothing. If there is nothing on your system looking for the registry entry, then it won't effect anything. That being said, that doesn't mean WM doesn't look for registry entries that aren't there. For instance, the following tweak:
Enable Vision Duration/Disconnect Popup
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2=16
Flags2 doesn't exist by default on most any WM6 phone. Adding it in, enables the disconnect.
Who added the "Mighty" tweaks? Is that a phone? Many of those seem like they should go in Misc. I might clean that up if those aren't specific to a phone.
Would it be possible to have a wiki of descriptions for each of these options? I know I could Google them one by one but I'm sure users would appreciate a single source.
Hmm, not a bad idea. I wonder if there was a spot on the xda wiki I could use for it since I don't have my own. I may end up integrating a detailed description field for each item with a question mark next to it. Unfortunatly I won't be able to define them all since people have added one's I've never used.
OK I have a request. I don't' so much mind tweaking the settings when I flash. However what does drive me nuts and keeps me from flashing is knowing I will have to reconfigure all my email accounts. I just use the default mail program, but what a pain going through and adding my 7 yes Seven email accounts every time I flash my phone. Is there a way to make a cab that would auto input all my account settings? The reason for so many accounts, is I have personal accounts, business accounts, email list accounts, car club accounts, and forum subscription accounts.
It would be awesome to be able to go to a site, or run an app where I could plunk in all my account settings, then create a cab store it to my SD card and whenever I flash, just run the cab and POOF all my accounts are setup.
Unfortunately, probably wouldn't be easy to make a cab. However, programs like Sprite Backup will do this for you. You can selectively restore your mail using SB, however I generally back up my phone once I get things the way I like it, then if anything goes sour, I hard reset, then restore.
any1 made an ultimate tweak.cab? maybe make your diamond seem as fast as a custom rom?????????????
then any hardreset.......

+1 on descriptions of each cab
Wow very nice! Thanks!
I suggest a field to make a *.cab regarding to any registry path/setting the user wishes (if the user is more technical).
without having to actually add to the public entry list.
This will allow the ability to:
1. not have to wait for the admin to add the specific entry
2. allows the author of the new *.cab to distribute their new edit on the fly.
3. give the admin to log & analyze the entries in the custom field to and determine more of the common *custom* entries the ppl may want. Thus not having to depend on explicit user input and emails all the time.
First - thanks for putting this together!
Quick question - I had it "enable" GPS coded photos...but I don't think it did? Shouldn't I have an option somewhere in my camera menu to activate this once I've installed the .cab? Additionally, I don't believe "enable landscape pictures" and "sport mode" worked - how do I know?
Many thanks!
Oh, and I forgot to mention (not that it matters???) that I'm on an HTC Touch Pro with Sprint - stock ROM. I'm new to all this, so I apologize if this is basic stuff.
Is there any YouTube video or forum or something that will teach me how to edit my registry I have wp7 hd7 thanks
I seriously question the logic of anybody who needs to ask a forum for a "YouTube video or forum or something" instead of just entering some terms into your preferred search engine asking for this. You're trying to do something quite delicate and potentially destructive, although typically registry editing can be undone with a hard reboot if you screw up. That said, yes, it's possible.
First, you need developer unlock. There's a number of ways to get it. I personally have an apphub (developer) account, but Chevronwp7 labs is cheaper unless you're a student.
Second, you need to either be on pre-Mango (anything up to 7403 will work) or be interop-unlocked. I'm not going to go into the details of how to interop-unlock an HD7, but it's possible; I did it. There are instructions on the Development and Hacking sub-forum, along with an app (U2M7720).
Third, install any of the very large number of apps that can do registry editing. The standard one is the very obscurely-named "Registry Editor" app by schaps on http://touchxperience.com. If you'r enot on Mango yet, you can also grab Advanced Explorer from Codeplex; it gives registry and filesystem access in the same app but was never updated for mango.
Hello,
I have a lot of problems with omnia 7 due to app profile network of samsung haven´t got the profile of my operator. I can set it thanks to a post of here, but I think that it is a bit difficult and you need the computer to set it. As I have studied some of programming c#, I decided to make an app that set mms and internet. I have already done the screen and I´ve get to make that app create the file xml with the code in order to set mms and internet, but I haven´t found information about how execute/apply the file xml with the app. Where can I find about it?
PD: Sorry, I do not control English very well
Hi,
I guess it's a topic a bit complex, but can not someone help me with this?
You use an OEM COM interface, accessed from C# by using Microsoft.Phone.InteropServices.ComBridge. One easy way to see how this is done is to look at the source of an app that does it. If you can't get the source to DiagProvXML, you could always just decompile it (decompiling .NET code is pretty easy and there are several tools that can do it). There are several other apps that also use provxml; one or more of them may offer source access.
Hi,
Thank for your help and I can select the services that I have load, but I have a small problem that I hadn't taken into account. I know c# but my apps are a lot of more easy that diagprovxml, and I can´t find the part of program that I´m interested. I use "JustDecompile" to decompile the app. Could you tell me what class(or classes) is (are) what I'm looking for?
Thank you very much again
Hmm... it's not linked in my SIG because it's out-o-date, but you could try using Search to find my old DeployProvXml app. It includes a pretty straightforward example of using provxml.
Essentially, you need the following things:
The interopservices DLL (allows you to use the ComBridge class).
The OEM DLLs (DMXMLCOM.dll and such).
COM class and interface definitions for them in C# (this is the stuff with the [ComImport] attributes and the GUIDs).
ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES in your WMAppManifest.
WPInteropManifest.xml file in your project.
Use the ComBridge to register the COM interfaces, then create an instance of the COM class(es), cast to the appropriate interface type(s), and use a variable of the interface type like any other .NET object.
You can read a bit more about COM and native code in Heathcliff74's guide. It's aimed at making your own native libraries, so skip all the stuff about creating your own COM classes and writing native code. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1299134
Hi again, Does the method WP7RootToolsSDK.Environment.ProcessConfigXml allow to set the parameters that have a tipical xml file?
thank you again
I'm not sure what you mean by "set the parameters" but the Root Tools SDK does in fact allow you to consume ProvXML files now (I think it even supports the query provXML and returns the output, though I haven't tried).
Hi everybody,
I would like to ask you if there is any way to search for a specific word(s) on any page, file or app that is open on the screen.
This feature exists in almost all Windows applications by pressing ctrl+f but unfortunately I have not found a similar way search for text on Android.
Do you have any ideas whether this feature is possible or not?
Thanks a lot!
