For those of you who came from the PPC-6700 or the Mogul, you may remember I created a Hacks program for each device. I decided to put together one for the Diamond as well, and it's available on my website for those who are interested.

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.

Here is the link to the program. Diamond Hacks

your diamond hacks look good man, nice program, will download when i get home. thanks

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE]

"EndKeyDelayInterval"=dword:00000000

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

What exactly does this do? My default setting is at 2000. Is the 3 second delay for the End Key Menu?

Thanks.

In my touch, I had put in a registry tweak that had set my phone to poll the local towers more times and in shorter intervals. The net effect was that the phone found incoming calls quicker and gave me more time to anwer them.

For the life of me I cannot find this tweak again. Does someone out there have and and could post it here. TIA

Edit your "Slot Cycle Index", default is 2. You need to know your MSL and key in ##778# and edit Modem Settings.

Your ACCOLC may make a difference on your phone's priority on the network, but it seems Sprint Diamonds' are preset at 0. Usually this was random, using the last digit of your phone number.

Anyone know what the reg edit for CDMA for Auto-Locking? This is the one posted for GSM phones..


Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked

THanks for the heads up, lots of these work on CDMA units and are quite interesting. I liked enabling more camera modes.

19. More Camera Modes:
To Enable 'Burst': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1

To Enable 'Sport': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1

To Enable 'Video Share': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1


13. Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1

Is this done using a button or will it use the sensor to rotate?

I presume this is an app that will manually flip the screen? Do we still have to change the registry setting to "manual" or can that be left as automatic?

Thanks.
