I know you and I talked about this but everyone doesnt know what you have really done to try to correct this and get this customization to work for you so give some info on what you have done and what you are getting.

I personally have "SMS Sent" notification disabled as it aggravates the **** out of me with as many txt as I do a day.

It doesnt bother me at all. Instead of saying "Messege Sent" i want it to read what i want it read. I like cause i at least know it was sent out.

Re: The most COMPLETE compilation of hacks and teaks

Oh yeah I go to the Reg Key "MessageSent" and the Value is MessageSent. I deleated the value and put something else in and it just stays the same. With no effect on it at all.

Always require SMS Delivery notification
If you always want an SMS Delivery notification (see note below!), and are tired of ticking the 'Request message delivery notification' checkbox, set:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDelivery Notify = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDelivery Notify = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Note 1: Delivery notifications will depend on your and the recipient's operator network capabilities! Note 2: You can still override this with the regular checkbox.


Disable charging over USB
If your device can charge over USB, you can probably disable this feature by setting:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 1 (DWORD decimal)


Show Calendar event text in Week View
If you wish to see a Calendar event's text in the Week View, set the following:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekVie w = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable it again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekVie w = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Please note that your event must have long enough a duration to show the event text, and the week view (with its narrow columns) truncates long words easily
Also note that the key "Calendar" may not exist - just create it if it doesn't

Here's a list of all ## codes from the registry:

#4357#
##33284#
##3424#
##778#
##786#
##8626337#
##2539#
##7738#
##3282#
##775#

So, ##778# - edit - Master SubLock. = Advanced programing.

Don't mess with these settings unless you're in wireless repair or you know what you're doing. You can seriously mess up your phone and it could take days for repair to figure it out. Some of these settings are for advanced repair agents only and if you mess it up it could be days before someone finds out what it was. The only way to get your Master SubLock is through your provider anyways.

Customize startup programs
In this registry key you can find all the items that appear in the 'New' menu on the Today screen:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Extens ions\NewMenu

These are the programs that automatically start when performing a soft reset:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Start Items

Customize 'Low Battery' alerts

Browse to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a String value named "Default" and set its value to "Low battery warning".
Now go to Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications applet > Notifications tab, select "Low battery warning" in the "Select an event" drop-down list and you can customize it.
Change Display Name order in Contacts

set Display name in Contacts:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\contact\cproghook]
"FL"-> Set 0 if LastName then FirstName, 1 if FirstName then LastName
Alternately you can also simply put your first name then last name and then a comma after it so it will display correctly.

An example is John Ross,

Change Start Menu Color

The registry Binary Value key that controls the font color on the start menu is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color\39 and value for black is 00 00 00 00. Here are values for other colors: black = 00 00 00 00 red = FF 00 00 00 green = 00 FF 00 00 yellow = FF FF 00 00 blue = 00 00 FF 00 purple = FF 00 FF 00 White = FF FF FF 00

Show hidden Photo Album Options

To enable Editor options: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ SOFTWARE\HTC\Album\ DisableEditor] "Disable" -> Set 0 to Enable and 1 to Disable

Clear Start Menu Items

Modify this registry values: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwi tch] "0"=" " "1"=" " "2"=" " "3"=" " "4"=" " "5"=" " "6"=" " "7"=" " "8"=" " "9"=" " "10"=" " "11"=" " All done!

Change font properties of menus

The keys under: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\BarFnt
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
hold menus font properties. I like:
Wt="400" (or 0x190, non-bold)
Ht="800" (or 0x320, standard size)

Control the font size of text

The Settings->System->Screen->Text Size dialog changes the value of the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\96DPI\CurFo nt
If you have a higher resolution PPC, you may change the "96DPI" to something else. Look for it in your registry tree.

Fine tune shortcuts for buttons

You'll find everything you need under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
These properties are set by Settings->Buttons,
but the fine tune will let you do more and even change those icons.

Change the Tap and Hold Dots Color

1) Go to the
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Color\ key.
2) Add a Binary value called "40" if it does not already exist.
3) Set the value to "rr gg bb 00" (RGB hex values 00 to FF so "FF 00 000 00" is Red)

Change call history size

Navigate to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallHistoryMax" contains the number of numbers that will be kept in history. F.e. change it to 100.

Add background images to alerts

You can use this tweak for different alerts such as call Alert, errorbox, informationbox, questionbox, exclamationbox, dail, log, start, volume dialog etc.

i am describing the process for the call alert only, the rest is the same for all above mentioned items.

HKLM/software/microsoft/shell/Rai/CallAlert

1) create string key named BKBitmapFile and in value define jpg file name with full path
2) create dword key named BKFlags and set value 26
reboot your phone

now when you will receive a call the image you defined will be in the background

In-call volume change without sound

You can change the following values:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardInCallVolume

within each of these keys the default 'Script' value is 'p' for 'play'

Change the 'Script' value to blank (erase the 'p')

No more annoying beeps and the volume changes quicker! YAY

Change the location of email and attachments
When reading and sending email in Pocket Outlook, emails and their attachments are saved in the device's internal storage by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\PropertyPath = "\Storage Card\Mail" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
(For Windows Mobile 6 use -- HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings\PropertyPath) HKCU\Software\Microsoft\MAPI\AttachPath = "\Storage Card\Mail\Attachments" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
Just simply delete these Registry settings (since neither is included by default).

Show Calendar event text in Week View
If you wish to see a Calendar event's text in the Week View, set the following:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekVie w = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable it again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekVie w = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that your event must have long enough a duration to show the event text, and the week view (with its narrow columns) truncates long words easily
Also note that the key "Calendar" may not exist - just create it if it doesn't

Change Calendar 'working days'
If you wish to change the 'working days' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For a Mon-Fri workweek (default):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For a Mon-Sat workweek:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2210007E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For a Tue-Thu workweek:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 22100016 (DWORD hexadecimal)

Here's how this works. When editing the value, switch to "Binary" mode. For the default Mon-Fri, you should see:
100010000100000000000000111110
The last 7 numbers are what we're interested in. They stand for the days of the week, in reverse order: Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday. When the number is "1", it is a working day. If it is "0", it's not a working day. So to look at the above examples again:
Days : SFTWTMS
Mon-Fri: 0111110
Mon-Sat: 1111110
Tue-Thu: 0011100
Using the above, you should be able to set the working days to whatever you'd like.
Note that this value also adjusts the working HOURS. The examples here all use the default 8am-5pm workday. See the "Change Calendar 'working hours'" tweak to modify this.
Note that the ActiveTimes key and value may not exist. Simply create them first.

Change Calendar 'working hours'
If you wish to change the 'working hours' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For 8am-5pm (default):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For 9am-5pm:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2212003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For 2pm-10pm:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\Activ eTimes = 2C1C003E (DWORD hexadecimal)

I don't see this section. Is it something we need to add to make it work? Or is it an obsolete hack?

Hint for searchers

Weed,
This is a great list. I've used it twice already - nice of you to share.

FWIW, the site search features don't work so well on this kind of long post - you'll see what I mean if you try searching for anything using "search this thread".

Once you're in this thread, go to the first page and use your browser's search-page function (Ctrl-F) - works great.

2 more hacks

Change bluetooth name. The default is whatever the owner name is. (I take credit for this one.) Go toothing!

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Set tings]
"LocalName"="toothing?"


Disable the sound of turning the radio on or off: (No credit, but a must have for me.)

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction \CDMA\FlightModeOnOFF]
"EnableSound"=dword:00000000
