Registry Tweaks/Hacks/Edits - Share them here!

[puff]

so diamond users... what tweaks you got???

Ok. This thread assumes that you already have the knowledge and skill to hack your phone settings via registry settings (ie. know how to use a registry editor ) or in some instances know how to access programming menus using ## codes to modify settings which requires the MSL. If you have any useful CMDA DIAMOND registry hacks and such, please post this in this thread... Thanks !!!

For those of you unfamiliar with the program, it simplifies the registry editing as you dont need a registry editor program and you dont need the know the keys. Just check (or uncheck) a box and you can turn the hack on and off.

By default the Telus Diamond will disconnect data connections after 600 seconds. This does NOT mean your data connection will turn off (as seen in the connection manager) but will be idle until needed again.Every time you terminate any programs using the data network the phone will still have an active connection for 10 min (unless you shut off the phone).

They prolly will be included in a custom ROM, but keep in mind there will always be the users that stick with the stock ROM, with no built in tweaks, so there should be a thread like this one for collective knowledge of tweaks and hacks. Seen your post How To: Configure GPS and was curious as to what settings your cab actually changes in the registry. I personally rather edit my registry by hand, since i know what i doing

I want to add that this setting will mess with PUSH email. so this isnt for you if you use the PUSH service.

changing the value from 600 to 60 essentially tells the Device to turn off the data connection after 1 minute IF idle.

That's a lot! what do they all do?

[tobeychris]

They're pretty self explanitory... EnableGPSSmartMode Enables GPS Smart Mode... and so on. the only special one is GPSMode... there are settings 1 to 4.. 2 and 4 work the same, some people prefer one or the other, basically 2 says to use aGPS and GPS, and 4 doesn't give it a setting...

[Mr. X]

Remove that annoying "Delay On End Key" its usually set to 3 sec stock.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE]

"EndKeyDelayInterval"=dword:00000000

This sets the delay to 0 seconds. it works im using it
