Manila 2.5.2012 (Stock Sprint 6.5 ROM) - Touch Pro 2 Tweaks Discussion

[mlambert77]

I just have to say... I hope this thread gets stickied.

Yes, there are other tweaks threads out there, but I love that you actually go through, and pull all the links people put on individual posts and put them back on the front page. There's times I've given up trying to find things after going through page after page.

Get a registry editor, I use PHMregedit. Navigate to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\M oduleName

Create A New String
"Value Name" = "Manila"
"Value Data" = "\Windows\Manila.exe"


Then go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\W hiteList

Create A New String
"Value Name" = "Manila"
"Value Data" = "Manila"

Wow... The thread starter jus copy & pasted MY reg edit I posted above into HIS post like HE was the 1 that took the time to type that out and not ME without givin me any credit at all... Wow man...

i think he did it to all the reg edits that were posted in the thread, not just yours, so i dont think i was intended as dis respect 2 you but so it would be easy to find being on 1st couple posts.

but IMO, i think if he keeps planning to add stuff to the posts on 1st page he is gonna run outta character limit so it would save space and time to just link to the individual post who posted the reg edits AND that way the original poster of such reg. edits would get thanks!

I seem to be missing something. I have HDwalls, but all I get is the wallpaper on the very top and very bottom. the middle 80% of the screen is still filled with the black sense. I can't figure out what I am missing. It must be something simple?

Please know that I am not taking credit for creating anything posted in this thread. My only goal was to collect information posted by others, into one easy to find resource for new 6.5 Sprint users.

I have no intention of stealing anything from anyone, and I believe I have thanked everyone who posted something I moved to the main posts, if I missed you I am sorry.

If you would like to see the format of this thread change, I am and have always been open to suggestions.

Great suggestion, sorry I did not think of that from the start

So I went back to some of the tweaks found in psycho_maniac's awesome thread that helped me out on the 6.1 OS TP2 & tested them to see if they would work on 6.5 for me.

The ones below that worked before still do today.
Change save location of MMS
Another BAttery Increase
Email and Attachments on your Storage Card
Eliminate the lag when taking a picture
save camera pictures to /Storage Card/My Documents/My Pictures

But the main one which I was most interested in & have verified working & is able to survived soft resets is the data connection auto off - Disconnect Internet after 60 sec's.
This is crucial because I noticed that when you tap on the battery meter in the taskbar before, you see that the timer is still running with live data which is purportedly dormant or disconnected!
But this tweak actually turns off that data after 60 seconds. The timer doesn't show.
I just checked again just now coming back from the Facebook app.

What does this mean?

Well - if it works like it did on 6.1 - the 6.5 battery drain just stopped for me!
(btw - I cheated & used strra's cab that does the same thing & floating around ppcgeeks via search)

I too cant stand the look of the messy start menu,it makes you wonder what MS was thinking.
I just installed SPB Shell 3.5 and replaced Sensi and the start menu with it. It feels like I have much more controle of my TP2 again.
I think this is a taste of what to expect from WP7.
Does any one hear an Apple law suit q brewing,once WP7 is let out?
lol
