edit:

well i found out the keyboard sliding has some form of a switch that auto sets the rotation registry entries upon opening/closing, so unless the switch can be disabled its a no go

Yeah the 6700 had the same issue, the only way to do it on the 6700 was to run VJLumos II, which did do the trick but it used part of the camera program and makes your screen super bright. Also I tried and it didn't work on the 6800. If you're using for a specific program I would recommend using Mortscript.

Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics

If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.

a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.

NOTE: I tried this on my 6800 and changed the v0 to v1 and now it doesn't have just one long vibrate. v0 sets it to vibrate always.

I found the instructions below on another website. I tried it on my 6800 and it worked like a charm. The time it took for my phone to start ringing was cut in half. If you don't have your MSL, you will have to try to get it out of Sprint customer service.

FIX THE SLOW RINGER

To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)

I chose a value of 9 for these and it requires a reboot before they take effect. You can play with the values to your liking:

Change scroll bar size

Navigate to HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\ and tweak the following values.
cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 13)
cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)

I only used the reg string AttachPath so my attachments go to the SD and my email stays on the phone's memory.

Save Attachments or the Whole Email on your SD Card

The Key in WM6 changed from WM5. In WM6 it is:

HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

For Attachments add "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments" datatype="string"

For the rest of the email add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox" datatype="string"

For the paths above to work, you need to have the Inbox folder and Attachments subfolder created already. You must reboot for them to take effect.

I'm looking for the reg hack that hides the connecting to EVDO dialog popup. I've seen it before somewhere back in my Treo days but can't find it now.

i am using PHM to do #5(disable message pop-up notification) and the registry change to allow you to set up your own SLIDING KEYBOARD sound.

I have made the changes and soft reset but nothing has changed. sometimes the changes will be gone in phm, but even if they "stick," no new choice for keyboard sound and I am still getting mssg sent pop-ups.

Any suggestions?
