How to create a auto-reg entry set?

[Torx]

I'm finding myself hard resetting alot as i try out new apps and play with whats best for a final install... And i hate having to redo all my reg tweaks every time.

I rather have a cab file or reg file i can just install to automate my tweaks..
Is there a method to doing this?

Thanks!

A CAB file could be done... but I have no idea how to make them.

You can also use Resco or TC to export the specific entry (this would have to be one by one though) to a folder on your storage card.

Then, after the hard reset, you would click on each reg entry file and this would import the entries into your registry.

Sure. Just create a file with the entries, and name it something like "mytweaks.reg" and keep it on your SD card. Then when you hard reset, run the file. It will ask you if you want to import it into your registry.

To see what the file should look like, go export part of your registry now into a file, and you'll see. It will look something like this:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu]
"AniType"=dword:0

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE]
"Animate"=dword:0

Make sure it's an ANSI file, and that it has a blank line at the end of it.

yea, i'd be using resco to import..

ah okay.. so it would be similar to creating reg entries for XP
what about creating an entry that isnt already in place?

[Jonahan]

Yeah, it's exactly like creating reg entries for XP. If an entry doesn't exist, you don't do anything differently. The above example, for instance, will create the two keys if they don't exist.

thanks alot! yea i kinda figured that..
man, its a hassle typing this stuff up and making sure its perfect.. :/

Here's what I do w/ my phone...make the reg file as above, then import it into an empty cab. Put the cab in your ext_rom, following ext_rom rules of course (all files marked as read only), and edit the config.txt file to call the new cab you made. If you have erased your ext_rom and flashed to one of the new pre-configed AKU3.5's, make sure you put a copy of autorun.exe in the ext_rom (again following ext_rom rules) and look around the forums to figure out how to write a config.txt. Every time you hard reset, the phone will do its auto config from the ext_rom and install all of the reg entries you put into the cab...

Stuff I have in my cab's registry entries:
Program serial numbers
Program settings
Owner info
Ring tone settings
Power settings
Base hue and default .tsk theme
Performance enhancements (glyhpcache and likewise)
PIE cache size and location, and homepage
Notification settings
Today items on/off and order

Drew - where are the reg entries for these? I've been searching but haven't found the paths to change:

Owner info
Notification settings

[drdrewusaf]

jamesus -

Owner info is in [HKCU\ControlPanel\Owner]. I exported the entire key (all entries) and my phone knows who I am, where I live, and my contact number every time I hard reset. I don't know if the plain text ones are required or not, but ALL of the owner info is stored in the hex "Owner" key. In the interest of time, I have not tested my reg file w/o the plain text lines. Besides an extra 4 lines in my 590 line reg file is nothin'.

Notifications are located in [HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications]. They have guid's but are labeled, again, in plain text in the default entry in each individual key. If I were you, I would make all of the changes first. Then, export only the keys for notifications you have changed. There are a few plain text keys in [HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications] too. Those control extra functions of notifications that are defined in guid keys.

Thanks Drew. I tested both and they work flawlessly.
