My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Okay, so I'm a bit of a nerd. I keep a log list of 'non-cabbed' registry edits I made to my phone with me so if I find myself troubleshooting, tweaking, or restoring away from my home PC (I travel a good bit for work) I always have a detailed accounting of my changes.

It looks like it's become a good compiliation of the most popular tweaks so I figured I'd post it for anyone to who might be interested. I can say that there's not a single tweak on the list that I can take credit for.

See the next post. Hope it helps.

- You will see there keys named 0 to 23. 0 is for the tab that is on the top left of the start menu, 1 is for the tab in the top middle, 3 is the tab in the second row left side, and so on.

- Before you change anything here check on which tabs you want to have the folders in the Start Menu.

- Open the key that you want to be your folder on. There are 5 entries, (Default), DispName, IconPath, IsReadOnly and Path.

Change ‘DispName’ to the name you want displayed under the icon on the Start Menu

Change ‘Path’ = to the folder’s location (e.g. "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Navigation")

Change ‘IconPath’ = to the icon’s location on the device

d. Close the registry editor and do a Soft Reset.

Sweet man nice work. Will give it a one two, fter I flash my imagio to cricket...

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

the weather update one worked??? we have been trying to get that one solved with no luck???? how often does it update?

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Great post and Thanked! Can you tell me more about what each camera mode does? I'm also curious what INACTIVE means. Did you just choose not to make those reg edits or is there something wrong with them?

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Yes. Unless I have an inactive data connection at the time it tries to update (i.e. talking on the phone, the phone shut off, etc.) my weather is never more than an hour old . . . which is what i have my refresh time set to using that regedit.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Joey, great job. I moved your post in the official cabs, tweaks, registry updates thread which is now a sticky. I told everyone to thank you. Please continue to update your post when you find new tweaks.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.p...&postcount=146

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Trust me I'm not doubting you or anything. But we all tried those cabs for the weather update and none worked. Maybe you have to phisically add the DWORD??? I actually tried all three cabs and then went in and manually put in my own numbers with no luck. Did you add or use the cab's???

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Same question as wedgemoose, many have tried and none have succeeded. I even tried enabling my data connection on all the time and it still didn't work.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

I didn't execute any cabs. When the weather update was a hot topic, I pulled down one of the cabs everyone was fooling with, interrogated the setup.xml to see what edits it was making, created the DWORD manually using Total Commander, tested it a bit, and added it to my list.

I'm scratching my head a little though now that a few of you have commented on this particular one: :scratch: I'm certain I set the DWORD value to 60 when I added it but after a few of you commented on it today, I went to the reg setting to confirm. Presently, my DWORD value for this is 900. I still maintain I rarely see my 'updated X X ago' anything longer than 1 hour.

I'm going to fool with this a little more and if I don't gain any confidence there's some link between cause and effect, I'll pull this one off the list. Apologies for the confusion and thanks for checking my work.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Please don't take any of this as an insult. and do not apologize. Great work and thanks. I was just checking on the weather one to be sure.
You are the man.......I already have done a bunch of your other ones.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

The "camera modes" are really the "capture modes" you can find/change by starting Camera and then clicking Show Nav - Capture Mode. Modes P1 thru P5 and P7 are the ones that show up by default. The ones not active are:

P6 = Burst - takes 30 pictures in quick succession
P8 = Sports - takes 5 pictures in quick succession
P9 = Video Share - configures automatically for sending via email
P10 = GPS Photo - GPS tagged photos

WRT P6, I just could never get it to work so yes, I just don't enable it. It will show up in the menu. You can select it. The camera will do something . . . Others may have had better luck with it - maybe I'm just too impatent. ;-)

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Which of the camera settings is the stupid picture theme mode? I want that to go away.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

nice work it helped me out alot!

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Sorry Sailor, not sure I know what you're referring to. Are you talking about one of the effect like graysacle or sepia?

EDIT: Just found it. Start camera then click Show Nav - Capture Mode. Picture theme is one of the options there. Just select one of the other capture modes like "picture". That should do it.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

fantastic! keep it up.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Question on #8 disable sms message sent. I follow the registry down to "settings" and then my choices are OEM or Svc. Can't find that string that reads SMSNoSentMs g = "2". I'm greener than grass with this stuff so go slow and thanks.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

I confirmed that the path is correct:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMs g =2

The only other thing I have in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ is an empty folder titled 'OEM'. No 'Svc' folder.

Have you made any othert mods that could've changed the directory's contents? Your call but you can probably add a DWORD 'SMSNoSentMsg' entry with a value of 2 without any real concern about being able to undo it if it doesn't work.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

I think you are having the same problem i had when i first started trying to figure out registry edits... When you get down to the settings folder and open it you have another folder "OEM". And then you are probably looking for another folder "SMSNoSentMs".

Instead you actually need to click on that "Settings" folder. The "SMSNoSentMs" is actually in that settings folder. Not in a folder in the folder. If that makes any sense. SO instead of opening the plus sign on the Settings folder- you actually need to go into the settings folder and when you do you should see what you are looking for.

hope that makes sense.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Maison, many thanks for your help. I followed your instructions and got to where I needed to go. Couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks again.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

No prob. I know how frustrating this stuff can be bc i am trying to figure it all out too. Like, i said, i was doing the exact same thing you were- and then i accidentally clicked on the folder instead of the plus sign and- bingo.

Shoot- i am such a noob- i kept searching for "HKLM" and i was like, "Man, i don't know what is going on, but i do not have any "HKLM" anywhere.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

No, the question was which of the P1-P10 settings will disable the option to have the "Picture Themes" appear.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Oh, I understand now. I've never seen any reference that tells you which default-enabled mode is which but looking at the menu of options, the four new one's P-values line up to where they show up in the menu - i.e. burst = P6 = the 6th menu option; Sports = P8 = the 8th menu option; etc. Based on that, I'd set P7 = 0 (theme is the 7th) and soft reset.

If not, trial and error the others.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

P7 was it. Thanks. No need for a soft reset.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

When I make the registry changes nothing happens? Would you please help???

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

The regedits should enable the "Record" option under the phone's 'menu' menu that's visible AFTER you connect a call. Once you're on a call and you select it, you'll hear a tone indicating that recording has begun - another one either at the end of the call or when you select 'stop recording' from the menu.

The recordings are put in \My Documents\Notes on the device.

Re: My Very Own Extra Special Device Registry Edit Log
 

Thanks...
