Registry Hacks, Tweaks and .cabs

5 Attachment(s)

[temperamentalman suggested this thread originally...]

Here's a collection of common registry tweaks, mods and cabs for the Treo Pro. Most should work on the GSM and CDMA versions. I've attached all the .cabs locally for convenience and original links to the TreoCentral threads.

Mega thanks to Codyppc, Hannip, Zbop and others for doing these.

Battery and Preformance Hack = changes "powermanagement" settings in the registry. saves battery life a little.
Wireless Today Plugin removal = removes that pesky plugin from the today screen
Wireless Today Plugin Controler = alows you to control the plugin like all the other plugins
Date and Time in Title Bar = puts the date in the title bar over the time
No Ringer bug = sometimes the notification for incoming calls has no sound

TreoAlerts: Control the LED, beacon, weather and repeat notifications--thanks to Hannip, Codyppc and Slingbox
IE6 Downgrade Toggle = make PIE like it use to be on older devices.

Force Roaming = Forces Roaming. An option left out lately
Ebag WM AlarmNotification Hotfix = Fixes the alarm so it will work.
Push Side Button = allows you to asign the side button to a "Press" and not just press and hold.

Keylight Toggle = Toggle the keyboard lights on/off with a click (works well with Side key hack above) -zbop
Disable the dial pad sound--kills annoying beeps on dialpad
Increase Volume/SRS WOW = Make the sound louder in speaker and headphones + improve quality with preset using SRS WoW
McCune 5 Column = In the Programs menu, make it 5 icons across--Original thanks to Lord Bricks!
McCune 4 Column = same as above but 4 columns (looks better--mal)

McCune/Lord Bricks 4 Column Program Menu

Mobile Internet Explorer shortcuts comes from CellNeuron. Simply install the attached .cab and use Cody's rollback, then follow these shortcuts.

Only works on the rolled back IE, not IE6.

This is really good for toggling fullscreen with "F" since we don't have softkeys to jump in and out.

Quote:

E : page up
D : page down
T : top
G : ground

P : Pictures toggle
enter: enter
backspace: back
F : full screen toggle
space : when no link is selected, page down.
when a link is selected, same as enter.

U : horizonal Page up
I : horizonal Page down
J : horizonal top
K : horizonal down

x : Default layout
C : Desktop layout
V : One column layout

WeatherPanel Program + 320x320 Theme by StoryR
KeySwop = freeware app to quickly change the soft keys/what they launch
OpenDNS Hack = speed up DNS lookups for Internet Explorer, etc using OpenDNS servers instead of Sprint's

Slot Cycle Index

Change Slot Cycle Index (SCI) = default is 2, change to 1 or 0 for faster incoming call notifications--this setting changes how often the phone "pings" the cell tower for incoming calls; has a slight negative effect on battery

Use BAF MSL Grabber to get your MSL code (needed)--install, turn off radio, run app and get MSL
Go to dialpad and type ##778#
Navigate to SCI value and change from 2 to 1 or 0
Hit okay/save and exit

Palm Threaded SMS

2 Attachment(s)

Palm Messaging App = replace the default WM 6.1 threaded SMS with the Palm version from the 800w. Thanks Hannip!

This helps with the "unread" SMS error and Palm screensaver whereby you always have 1 unread SMS in a thread, until you open the message directly. It also looks better and you get picture ID and emoticons back.

*Note MMS works for GSM version (attached) but only for sending with the CDMA version. Using sMMS helps to alleviate that issue on CDMA.

Palm Dial Lookup

2 Attachment(s)

Replace the WM/HTC dial lookup system with the superior Palm version.

Works from today screen, enables Picture Dial and 26 Alpha Speed dial as opposed to the 9 numerics from WM.

Use "Hide Carrier 1.0" (attached) to hide the now present Sprint/BT carrier line plugin.

Thanks Zbop!

Misc

Adjust screen sensitivity:

HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold

Change PressureThreshold setting to 240 (decimal). You can also increase this number, but do so at your own risk.

heh, no problem..been meaning to do that for awhile

like every WM devices, this one has quite the ton of initial annoyances, but once past those it's a damn solid device (well, except I miss calls in low-signal areas, but oh well)

yes.

Cody has been kind enough to create two different cab files. One will remove it completely and the other allows you to control if you want it on or off in the today screen. Both files are attached below

Voice Command/Charging Beep

Slow down the speed of the Voice Command lady:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Speech\Voices

change "DefaultTTSRate" from 4 to 5 to speed up or to 2 or 3 to slow down. Takes effect instantly.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Charger Connect/Disconnect Sound

Hate the Be-Doop noise when you plug/unplug to charge? So do I.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume

ChargerConnectSound
ChargerDisconnectSound

Under each, there is a string value called "File". Under the string, just change the sound file from "ChargerConnect.mid" to "ChargerConnect.old" (so you can put back if you want), or just delete. Don't matter.

I created two cab files for the changes above :). I tested them and they work.

Fix Skipping Sound when Playing Music

2 Attachment(s)

From Zbop (original post):

A little background...
HTC released a fix for the audio skipping on the GSM Diamond and Touch HD. I tried that cab on my Treo Pro and it hung my device, had to hard reset. Someone with a CDMA Touch Pro finally figured out what was modified and then created his own Raphael patch. So, I also tried that cab and it broke my USB, power and audio. Long story short, I disassembled the patched dll, figured out what the change was, and created a patch for the Sprint Treo Pro. The result is that I can now play music skip-free.

The bug is that one of the threads in a core HTC dll runs at too high a priority (real-time), and when it's active it interferes with the audio driver; this patch lowers the priority of the offending thread.

Installation (Sprint only):
1) Install sdkcerts.cab
2) Install STPAudioSkipFix.CAB
3) Soft-reset
4) If you are using Coreplayer, go to Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced and make sure that "Higher priority music playback" is checked

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THIS ON A GSM Treo Pro!!

Re: Registry Hacks, Tweaks and .cabs

Ok so i have a question for someone. I really didnt know much about the phone when i started downloading things to it and now i just want to go back to the way it was when i got it but i didnt back it up right when i got it. Is there anyway to get it back to the way it was when i got it if i didnt back it up first?

Looks like ur gonna have to hard reset to factory settings and start all over.

Hold reset button & End button simultaneously... Wait 5 seconds, release reset button first, continue to hold the end button, then release the end button after about 2-3 seconds.

Re: Registry Hacks, Tweaks and .cabs

It doesnt need a cab. Use "internet sharing" already in the phone. Either Bluetooth or USB connection.

Installing this cab on my treo pro (sprint) made my phone unusable. The phone just hung at the startup bar which appears complete. I ended up having to restore to factory settings since taking the battery out just got me to the same place. Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks

Re: Registry Hacks, Tweaks and .cabs

I just connected it with the USB to my Windows 7 PC and it works fine. Plug and play pretty much.
