Please make sure you explain what each one does clearly.

Do these at your own risk!

In order to perform these you'll need a registry editor such as Resco File Explorer Registry add-in, PHM Registry, etc.

If you need to learn how to edit the registry visit this thread: Detailed How To Edit The WM Registry Guide

Here's one I use a lot...

By changing the type from 5 to 4 it will allow you to move an application within the Today screen. Some apps have the type set to 5 so that they stay on top of all the others and are not movable. This fixes that.

Also, when the type is set to 5 you will not be able to place the plugin insde tabbed apps such as Spb Mobile Shell, Spb Pocket Plus, etc.

Found this on treocentral and it still works:
I think i found a way to navigate web pages seamlessly with one hand in pocket internet explorer like blazer on the palm platform does.
Disclaimer: Always backup before making any changes to your registry.

**Note: This is only really useful if you use the 'one column' view in PIE, if you usually scroll horizontally you have to assign the page up/down keys to something other than right or left on the 5 way**

Anyway, here goes:

-First, close out of Pocket IE if you already have it open
-Then Using a wm5 registry editor (I used resco regedit): go to -
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
- Create a new key. Call it "KeyMaps" (without quotes)
- Under the newly created "KeyMaps" create a DWORD Value. Name it "37" and give it a DWORD data value of "1" (without quotes)
- Under the newly created "KeyMaps" create a DWORD Value. Name it "39" and give it a DWORD data value of "2" (without quotes)

Now go back in PIE

Left of the 5-way will page up
Right on the 5-way will page down

Thanks for this one, i have been searching on how to move my calendar up above the HTC home setting for a while and now it is at the top thanks to this edit.

Show a colored battery gauge on bottom right
 

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power

set "ShowIcon" to 1

For *much* better A2DP stereo bluetooth performance, use this hack -

do the battery hack from the mogul work?

Application Unlock? Seems the Mogul directions do not work...

Got from somewhere for my Mogul, can't remember where. Seems to speed up my Touch a good bit. Uses about 4mb memory with my setup. Still has about 68-69 mb's to start. I used 16384 on the first one.


Make Your PocketPC Faster

Open your registry editor on your Pocket PC
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 16384… or even to 32768 for a faster setting but eats up more memory
4. Close registry editor and soft reset.

HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS

I changed the CacheSize key from 0 to 8192 and it seems to have sped up my ppc.

I've heard it does. I just did it to mine tonite. Will know more tomorrow nite.
