HKLM/CONTROLPANEL/OWNER

I have 2 keys, 'Group' and 'Hide'. Is there anything else listed on a 6.1 ROM? i saw this fix here for the Calendar snooze options so it makes me think there are registry entries in stock 6.1 that arent on 6.5...maybe there is a 'Show' dword or something that we need to add in?

I'm still running the stock Sprint 6.1 ROM (Rocking SPB MS 3.5 + tweaks)

On my ROM, in the section you requested, I do have the Group key. Its value is 0, a decimal value.

I do not have the Hide key. When my phone is woken up from sleep, it displays a "My Info" screen with all of my relevant info. Try deleting the Hide key, waiting ~2 minutes for the registry change to be committed, and then soft reset your phone. Does it work as expected then?

There are no other keys present in that section.

Good luck!

Go from the start menu to Settings then click the Personal tab then click Owner Information. Then input your info. Then click on the Notes tab at the bottom to add notes. Then click on the Options tab at the bottom and check Display on Startup and/or Display notes.
Also, to show on wakeup you must have the lock enabled and the option selected to display owner info when the lockscreen is shown.

this option is not available on 6.5.x i dont think its on 6.5 either. i use s2u2 to unlock the phone but even when i didnt have a lock enabled, i was able to get the owner info to show. you had to tap the screen to make it go away after turning on the screen and then it would just go to the hometab.

Thanks for checking. In 6.5.x the Owner Info is not normally an available option in the Settings menu, so setting the Hide key to 0 is the only reason I am able to edit it in the first place. There must be another registry key that accesses this information....anybody insight?

Did anyone ever find an answer to this issue? its been bugging me for weeks now.
@HornDoctor - I'm not really sure you're using Windows Version 6.1 - I had a Touch Pro 2 with Version 6.1 running TouchFlo 3D that I upgraded to the latest Sense UI Manilla that also ended up upgrading my windows Mobile version to 6.5 - now the Owner info Setting doesnt have the "Options" tab, and doesnt provide an ability to show the owner's name in the Lock Screen. Very annoying indeed - on a locked phone, the owner information does no good unless it actually displays on the Lock Screen.

Oh I assure you I'm using 6.1.
Maybe you should use an alternative lock app with a passcode and owner info.
