[DISCONTINUED] OMJ's HTC Sense Kitchen v2.1 | WM 6.x / WM 6.5.x | 21895 / 235xx

[2 Bunny]

At last, after hours of searching, I just downloaded some trial software and created my own.

Chefs or users here can download them if they would like: (This is the GIF - it does NOT loop, so if you want to see it animate, I suggest you go into "view single post" mode)

Here's the WelcomeHead PNG file:

(You will probably need to rename them)

Thanks! This is a PPCGeeks Exclusive!

No Guarantees this will solve your problem, but you're welcome to try. Access EPST (##778#, or find the .exe in \Windows), choose edit, enter your MSL, select View info, modem settings, and change the value of Slot Cycle Index. 0 = 1.28 seconds, 1 = 2.56 sec, 2 = 5.12 sec (Default) and so on. Lowering the SCI is supposed to have an impact on battery life, especially if you're in a low signal area, but if it works, I'd say it's worth it.

The EPST package that comes with OMJ's kitchen seems to have an issue saving settings (at least for my phone it does). Attached is the one I use in the off chance you find your's doing the same. Place it in OEM\Diamond\0409\ and move the other EPST folder somewhere else (you can't unselect the original in the kitchen, you have to remove the folder). If you don't want to recook a ROM just for EPST, try dropping the files in \Windows.

I hate to stray away from the fascinating topic being discussed above, but I have another kitchen related question.

Is it possible to tweak settings from within the kitchen? For instance, if I wanted to change the backlight and auto power off times (which are set at unacceptable values, by default), is there any practical way of adjusting these? How about settings in DiamondTweak or Advanced Config?

Thanks.

Yes. A good way, if you're interested in learning, is to set all your settings as you like them (backlight, sounds, etc) then use a registry editor (such as the one found in Dotfred's task manager) and use it to export the registry, copy the file to a PC and explore it (control + F will be a huge help with the file). Copy the keys that correspond to whatever settings you want from the file into an app.reg file (either make one by changing the extension on a .txt file, or copy an app.reg from another EXT and blank it out) and place it in the kitchen as it's own EXT package.

Alternatively, if you'd rather not spend the time poking through the registry and just want to mess with the backlight, put the attached file in your kitchen, and edit the app.reg (the values in this EXT package are set to my liking, so you'll probably want to change them). All values are in hex, so use something like windows calculator to translate values between decimal and hex.

That's what I was thinking - registry stuff. This still needs a little bit to "churn" in my mind though. Right now, we'll just focus on the backlight tweak, then we'll move on to the other stuff.
I downloaded the file and opened the app.reg in Notepad and I can see all the stuff that can be changed. I would like to know how to convert between HEX and Decimal in MS Calculator though. Does that automatically add the letter in some of the numbers (for instance, "Seconds to Dim (Battery)" is currently set at "0000001e" in your file. I don't know how to convert Decimal to HEX in Windows Calculator (sorry).
Another question: The "brightness on AC" setting doesn't apply if I've got it set to change the brightness based on the light sensor, does it?

Thanks (I added some thanks to your post as well ☺).
