Re: Touch Pro 2 Tweaks, Hacks, Tips & Modifications

OK, I think I've discovered a useful new registry tweak. At least I haven't seen it listed elsewhere. Admittedly, though, I've only had my phone two days, so perhaps it's been covered somewhere.

My phone is the Sprint model, so I don't know to what extent this will apply to other versions of the TP2.

Under HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/CommManager, there are a series of eight subsections (numbers 0-7) listing features of the Comm Manager. However, the Comm Manager actually shows only the first six. The last two are potentially useful, though, as one can be used to switch the phone between Ring and Vibrate, and the other can be used to turn Internet Sharing on and off.

To make them visible, you have to either move them into the lower numbered entries, or you have to tell the Comm Manager to show all eight. The latter is the simpler approach.

Under CommManager, you'll find a key (dword) called SupportedFunctions, which is set to 6. Change it to 8, and all eight features will show up in CommManager.

I haven't played with the Internet Sharing switch, so I can't tell you how it works.

The Ring/Vibrate switch, though, works correctly to change the ring mode of the phone. However, the UI is a little strange. Even though it shows the same toggleswitch icon that you see on the other entries, the toggle doesn't actually change. Instead, the text changes. But the important thing is that the feature does correctly set the phone to Ring or Vibrate. Pretty useful!

Keep in mind that you have to soft-reset the phone after making these registry changes to allow them to take effect.

I hope this proves useful to someone. I know it's useful to me.

Interesting. I wouldn't have guessed that there were multiple versions of the Sprint software in distribution, but perhaps that's the case. In any event, here is the HKLM/SOFTWARE/HTC/CommManager section of my registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
"BluetoothPlatformType"=dword:00000001
"CommManagerUIStyle"=dword:00000004
"CustomizationFontName"="Helvetica Neue OTS"
"CustomizationTitleFontName"="HelveticaNeue LT 35 Thin"
"DelayFlightModeButtonTimes"=dword:00000000
"DelayWLANButtonTimes"=dword:00000000
"DisableButtonText"=dword:00000003
"IsDisableActiveSyncAPI"=dword:00000001
"IsEnableHTCScroll"=dword:00000001
"LandscapeXExtension"=dword:000000a0
"PreviousBTState"=dword:00000000
"PreviousPhoneState"=dword:00000001
"PreviousWLANState"=dword:00000000
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:00000008
"TextColorSetting"=hex:50,50,50,00,00,00,00,00,ff, ff,ff,00,dd,dd,dd,00,51,51,51,\
00,cc,cc,cc,00,dd,dd,dd,00,51,51,51,00,cc,cc,cc,00 ,dd,dd,dd,00
"UseMSFlightMode"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\0]
@="FlightMode"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\1]

I have VZW TP2. I tried just changing the SUPPORTEDFUNCTIONS to 8, but it gave me the same error. That is because our registry is missing the 6 & 7 keys. So I added your key 6 (since it seemed useful):

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager\6]
@="Vibrate"

And I changed SUPPORTEDFUNCTONS to 7.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CommManager]
"SupportedFunctions"=dword:00000007

This added the Vibrate/Ringer choice to the Comm Manager. I suspect the Internet Sharing could be added the same way, but I won't bother since I don't know exactly what it does (and how to test that it works).

Thanks.

Re: Touch Pro 2 Tweaks, Hacks, Tips & Modifications

I believe the files may have been posted in this section earlier, but for those who would like to add the stock music tab back to your Sprint Touch Pro 2, here is a simple CAB file I have made. This will remove the Sprint Music Store banner and also change your "Mail" tab title to "E-Mail." Enjoy!

go to Remove Programs and uninstall it, or change this in your registry

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
SMSNoSentMsg
change the value from 1 to 0
