Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
dannzeman, I've manually changed in registry some of what's in your mortscript, not all because I don't need them but some that you have I don't know how to do yet in registry. Will your mortscript work with the registry changes I've made so I can use the extra tweaks you have in mortscript? Thanks

You can edit the registry manually and use my script if you want. They won't conflict with each other unless you do an manual edit and change it back to the default using the script.

Would you mind explaining in detail how you download this to the treo 800w? I am having a tough time trying to get this working.

Thank you

dannzeman, I've been soting out what apps I need & the ones that work. Now Your mortscript has allowed me to change the VGA which I like, have you tried this VGA change? "Thanks for your mortscript."

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
Well I gues I need an even more detailed explanation of how to do this. I have clicked the zip file and it saved to my vista. Now what? I dont know what to open or how to get it into the treo 800w. Id love even more detailed help. I guess my skills at this are very limited.

Thanks

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
oooo, one way is to open internet explorer, go to ppcgeeks.com, log in successfully. then type the url in the address bar where u downloaded the file from(ie;type forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.phxxxxxxxxxx, stuff)then u can save it to your phone or storage card. BUT,
since u have it on ur desktop, IMO, the easiest way from here is to use activesync or WMDC and copy and paste the Mortscript file to your phone(my documents), now u can follow the instructions provided earlier

nblahnik, Just to catch up, you w/avista, can't you dl straght to your phone? Or are you trying how to get it to your vista & your phone. dannzemann & the vip are in the guru stage, knowing more than we do & maybe forgetting those things from so long ago to have brought them to these items which help us get better.

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
Hey dannzeman, I was wondering how your script would work w/the VGA dl of ebag & w/a few of the registry tweaks TWC_Philly came up with. What do you think? OK I did tweak the battery & time & some sounds but is there some things w/your script that will work too? Thanks

nblahnik 03-09-2009 03:15 AM

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
Thanks for the help everyone. I just downloaded it to the phone and opened there.

Thank you.

I added install instructions to the first post. Everyone take a look and see if it makes sense. I'll revise as necessary.

Are you talking about ebag's RealVGA? They should work with each other just fine. Just make sure you install RealVGA first and directly after a hard reset. I'm not familiar with TWC_Philly's reg tweaks. Could you point in the direction where I can get more info?

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
this program wouldn't work on my phone. I deleted that app, but on my today screen the date is still on the top right corner with the time. How do I get rid of that. The date listed twice is pretty pointless. Please help!!

Here's a screen shot:
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...1258733547.jpg

Selecting either of the Tweaks List will list all the tweaks so you can pick them individually.
You can select to have all the registry edits turned on at once.
You can have them go back to default all at once.
Or, you can enable/disable them one at a time if you like.
Once you make your decision go back to main menu and select 'Quit' and it'll ask you to soft reset your device. I'd recommned you do that.

If you're having any problems please post here.

Some of these registry edits are specfic to the 800w so if you want to try them on another device be my guest. But I take no responsiblity for any harm you may cause. If you would like me to start writing scripts for other devices let me know and I'll start a new thread in the Registry forum.

The zip file contains the Mortscript cab (install the ppc version) which you'll have to install to run the script. It will also contain a file called dannzemans800wRegistryScript.mscr This is the file that you run, just by clicking it, after you install Mortscript. You can save the .mscr file anywhere on your device.

Install instructions:
1. Download the zip file to your phone. (An easy way to do this is to use your computer browser, right click on the zip file and select "Copy Link Location", past this link into an email, leave the subject line blank, and send the email as a text message by sending it to yourphonenumber@messaging.sprintpcs.com. When you get the text, click the link, it will open in PIE and you can save it anywhere you want on your device. I do it this way because I don't like to connect my phone to my pc to transfer files)
2. Open the zip file and install the Mortscript cab.
3. Extract my script to anywhere on your device and click it to run it.
4. Viola.

Now, a list of the registry edits I've included:
1. Make the end key turn the screen off instead of taking you to the Today screen then shutting the screen off.
2. Increase the ringer volume.
3. Disable the security warning when installing non-certified apps.
4. Disalbe the initiate call beep.
5. Increase SMS limit from 1 to 10 messages. You only need to do this if you are using the stock Palm threaded messaging. If you switched to allow WM6.1 to handle threaded messaging you don't need to do this.
6. Get ICS working properly.
7. Enable synchronization between 2 Exchange accounts.
8. Silence the charger connect or disconnect sound.
9. Silence the beeps when you change volume during a call.
10. Enable digital zoom.
11. Enable white balance in the camera.
12. Turn off the camera shutter sound.
13. Enable repeat sound option in Sounds a& Notifications for text messages.
**Note** There are two options for this. If you're using the default Palm threaded SMS only enable the tweak that says "PalmSMS". If you've changed it to allow Windows Mobile to handle threaded SMS then use the one that says WM6.1SMS. If you enable both or the wrong one then the sound notification will continue to repeat even after you've read the message.
14. Display the date on teh top bar above the clock.
15. Add the AM/PM notification next to the clock.

As more registry edits get added to this thread I'll probably add them to the script.

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
Can you post a screen shot? Are you talking about the date above the clock like in my screen shot? If thats the case, then it did work for you. And there's nothing to uninstall. Are you talking about Mortscript? Uninstalling Mortscript won't undo anything done with a script. If you used my script to change registry entries then you need to reinstall Mortscript, run my script and select "All Tweaks Off". Then you can delete my script and uninstall Mortscript. Let me know if you're still having problems.

I deleted it because everytime i went to the screen that allows you to "tweek", it would stay on the screen. It wouldn't allow me to close it. I had to take out my battery and reset my phone everytime. Did I install it wrong? I followed your instructions.

You need to have an app that will allow you edit the registry. I give pretty detailed instructions in the first post of that thread. If you still have questions go ahead and post there.


Thanks skeeg for holdin' down the fort.

Thanks. I'm new to this whole downloading apps stuff. So do I download the desktop installer? There are a lot of choices.

There's not a registry edit for that. You'll have to find a 3rd party application. I know its been covered here before because there are a lot of people that want that. If you do a search for 'large caller id photo' or something along those lines you should be able to find something. Don't just search here but on google too.

No, there isn't a fix for the date if you're using Palm's threaded SMS. If you switch to allow Windows Mobile to handle the threaded SMS it will appear correctly.

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
Another problem I've had with my phone for a while now and am not sure of the cause is that the highlight bar on the today screen will disappear when waking up and i hear the clicking noise when pressing the down arrow but none of the field are being highlighted, i would be forced to use the touch screen if i want to enter a program on the today screen menu and then when going back to the today screen it would reappear. i have spb mobile shell, spb plus and contacts pro installed but not sure if they are related to the problem. dannzeman you seem very knowledgeable on the 800w and i'm hoping you might have crossed this problem on the forums before. is it a bug with the treo itself and i'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem as well, thanks in advance!

rohandy 03-19-2009 01:26 AM

Re: Registry Tweak Script for Treo800w
 
Just to answer my own question earlier for anyone else having trouble with the date appearing incorrect in there sms timestamps, i created tweeked an entry that will resolve this problem and will allow you to maintain the date over time on the taskbar as well keep the timestamps in there correct format. Using the same registry location and procedure mentioned earlier in this post HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides Create a String value Name = SSDte but instead use Value = M/dd/y ' ' two spaces between the y and The last ' ' to push the date to the right to allow the "OK" not disturb or clash w/ the date. I'm not sure if this will conflict with any other programs for the 800w but i hope this will help anyone else like myself which had the same problem and to dannzeman keep up the good work helping the wm community.

Heya, love the tweaks. Was wondering though if there is any way to increase the volume of the ringer when you receive a SMS message. The normal call incoming ringer is loud enough, but I notice, with my phone at least, the sound for texts is significantly lower.

You're welcome. I'm not sure if there is or not. I haven't been keeping up with all the development for the 800w lately but one good solution is to use TreoAlerts and set it up to repeat the sound notification and the vibration. You can set the periods for anywhere from every second to minutes between intervals. Of course, if you leave phone unattended for any length of time and you get a SMS it could kill your battery.

Ah that is a shame, the low volume is going to be a deal breaker for me then. I had just gotten over the battery issue too but problems just seem to come up as one is solved. Back to my 700wx til something without all these un-addressed issues comes out.
