HTC Touch Pro Hacks/Modifications

[itouch24]

What are the first modifications u do on your HTC touch pro when u receive it ...

Of Course the more detail and links to where u found out about the modification would def help out those that didnt even know about the hack/modification....

with WM the amount of modifications are endless ....

some that come to mind now :
FIRST from what i am reading, hard reset device right out of the box:
1- start>settings>system>clear storage
2- With the phone OFF, press and hold the volume down button and the ok (center of dpad) buttons. While holding those buttons down, power on the phone, keep holding the buttons until a message is displayed about pressing the volume up button to hard reset or any other button to cancel. If that message does not come up, repeat (from power off state) until it does.

Now lets play!
@ The green WM6 startup screen ... you can change the windows file
welcomehead.192.png with anything you want
Now u will have your own custom picture instead of that terrible green picture

@ To change sprint startup animation go to: registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation]
"GifSpeed"=dword:00000040
"ShutDownWav"=""
"ShutDownGif"="\\Windows\\animated_HTC.gif"
"ShutDownAsStartup"=dword:00000000
"StartupWav"=""
"StartupGif"=\\Windows\\Startup_640x480.gif

and point "GIFFile" to a GIF amination of your preference.
or you can replace to file *.gif located in \windows

I also want to change the wait cursor on the device... i found this application: MWC2.2 Transparent WaitCursor

but there is conflicting news on how it works on the HTC touch pro

To automatically correct "i" to "I"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409]
"Ime File"="\windows\compime.dll"
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
use this and then go into setting input and enable auto correction!

Are there ways to enlarge the sms typing area?
you can use the freeware "TOTAL COMMANDER" and edit the file thread_sms.html. You can do a search to easily find it...windows directory.

look for this part:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...

and play around with the number in height (in this case 35). change to 70 and get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you.

*you need to soft reset after editing the file.

Disable auto-wakeup when keyboard is opened
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\DeviceMap\Keybd] Create new dword "SlideWakeup" with value of 0 and soft reset. To revert, delete the key or set it's data to 1.

To save cache to card instead of device on opera
open opera, type in opera:config when that opens scroll down to "user pref" open that and scroll down till you see"cache directory 4" and highlight that so you can change it. change it to"\internal storage\opera9\cache\ then scroll way down to the end and save.

Disable SMS Sent Notification:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settin gs] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1

Change Screen Sensativity
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold
Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal.

Turn off startup aninmation and sound:
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ -> rename both “StartupGif” and “StartupWav” to other names.

Hack Internet Sharing to work:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing] Delete Extension key, set/create MaxCMCon=0 (decimal). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings] Set ForceCellConnection="Sprint"

Increase TouchFlo's sensitivity, so you don't have to push as hard to scroll:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings] increase FingerPressure. Default is 16. I changed to 128
Higher = more sensitive, lower = less sensitive.

Speed up storage card:

LowBattery Sound Location:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
can change to new location or overwrite \windows\lowbatt.wma file

TF3D has an extra row of blank spaces , Unfortunately u cannot add programs to it
Open the registry editor and go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
In there you should only have keys 0-17. Just delete any additional key you find there (i.e. key 18 and above), do a soft-reset and you're done

To get the camera to save videos / pictures into the \My Documents directory instead of the DCIM one? (on the storage card).
HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General\EnableDCIM set the value to 0.

Disable G-sensor in Opera while keyboard is out
that way it won't switch on you if you are laying on your Side surfing the web with your keyboard out
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor select "KBDSlideOut_To_Stop_GSensor" and change it from 0 to 1.
