PHM Registry editor must be flaky. I know that those files are accurate, because I exported them directly off my device from those locations. I stopped using it, Resco is truly amazing, and finger friendly.
Thanks!

How can an entry by itself under Notifications that just says "Default" and "Low battery warning" alter the behavior of the battery alarm? Does the text string "Low battery warning" trigger something?


Also just to be clear:

There are TWO entries that say "Default" within the Notifications tree. One looks like a little yellow file and when I look into it I see:

Duration
LedRefCount
Options
Wave

The other one says "Default" but has a little white "ab" symbol next to it. It does not have any contents unless I try to edit it in which case I see the "Low battery warning" text that I just put into the value data box.

I'll look into Resco.

Screenshot? There should be only one Default value, interesting there are two.

This in itself does not alter the behavior...it allows you to go into your notification settings in the system (same place to change the ringer), and modify settings there.

I turn it off altogether, because I don't need my Omnia whining at me at 40% battery life. It still notifies you when you hit 20% or so.

I believe you can. I would love to find where they are stored in the device. The only thing that may get in the way of it is that I am assuming they are stored in the ROM, so replacing or adding to them may not be as easy as other apps we install!!

Worth looking into though!!!

P.S. If anyone else is interested I am following an interresting little thread over at Modeco about an app to allow easy on/off of a lot of these reg tweaks we are talking about in here. I will post it over here as well, but I don't think it is 'proven' yet, so if you try it out, please be careful!!!!

Cool, maybe I can dissect it and find out why my cab file won't work. I've been making one so people don't have to enter the registry. But, it doesn't install :(

If your a member over there maybe you can get in touch with the author and share tweaks to make a more complete app!! I think it is a great idea for people that don't know about or don't want to risk playing with the reg settings!!! (an on/off setting is fantastic as well!!!! I have messed-up a reg setting or two in the past by forgetting a step/location/setting)

I don't want mine yelling at me for 40% either. That is what I'm trying to accomplish.
But I think there is some crucial information that I'm missing here.


Here is the "default" at the root of Notifications. This is the one I placed a value of "low battery":
http://home.earthlink.net/%7Echrisel...s/bathackc.jpg

If I expand Notifications I see "Default" again:

http://home.earthlink.net/%7Echrisel...es/bathack.jpg


This other default has this inside it:

http://home.earthlink.net/%7Echrisel...s/bathackd.jpg

The only thing I see under Notifications that appears to relate to battery is this line:
http://home.earthlink.net/%7Echrisel...s/bathackb.jpg

The very last screenshot is where you need to add the String Value Default with the value iof Low Battery Warning. Please revert any other changes you made, like that first default key.

Got it.

But the scary thing is, I didn't add that white default. I think the ZIP file added it but I'm not sure. However, the value was blank so I put in a value of "Low Battery".
Delete it anyway?

Adrynalyne 01-08-2009 05:36 PM
Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 
No, just revert the changes. The zip file didn't add it. There are various default values in the registry, don't sweat it if you find extras in different places.

The safest thing to do is only modify the location in question and ignore the rest, unless you are a registry guru and understand its workings.

OK, I'll erase the value "Low Battery" in that white colored Default (screen shot #1) that I see since it had none when I found it.

I will then add "Default" with the value "Low battery" under that long string of numbers shown on the last screen shot. (next to Duration, Options and Wave)

Smilepak, I installed your registry pack and then afterwards, my touchscreen stopped working. Any ideas as to why?

Cmass 01-09-2009 06:08 AM
Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 
Well.... didn't work. It hit 40% and beep! up comes the message interfering with the music player.

The only difference I can see is in what you wrote above. Your says:

Options = 0 X 0 (0)

On mine I have:

Options = 9 (0X000009)

Everything else is the same.....as far as I can see.

Yes, I did a soft restart.

Adrynalyne 01-09-2009 10:00 AM
Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 
That is because you didn't change the notification options after you entered the reghack.

I am certain of it. That 0x9 value in options is the value set by default.

Go into your notifications options and disable all of the low battery events.

I assume since we are talking about altering the registry, I am to look for these options in the registry? There is nothing under "Notifications" that says "Low Battery Event".
Under Notifications there is a long list of numbers as well as Default, Phone Reminders, ShellOverrides, Sounds. I don't see Low Battery Event.

I think I may have answered my own question. In this case it appears we are no longer talking about registry settings and instead are in the regular phone menus:

Settings --> Personal --> Sounds and notifications --> Notifications (tab) --> Event (drop down) --> Low battery (uncheck play sound, uncheck screen notification)

So far so good! No obnoxious beeping or signs...

I don't have the low battery event under Settings >.....Notifications. Is that because the registry hacks cause the low battery events to appear there?
If not, I wonder why they do not appear in Sounds and Notifications.

OK, what hack shall I do next.....perhaps the annoying lockout button that interferes with entering data during calls........

All is needed is to create a registry entry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\ Samsung Today 2]
"Order"=dword:00000003
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Options"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000005
"Selectability"=dword:00000002
"DLL"="secst.dll"


Thats it. Doesn't even require a reboot. This may also be the answer to those having issues with Samsung Today 2 on their VZW Omnias, too.

OK guys - from the 1st post (since it was untried) does this work on the VZW Omnia?
New to WM and do not want to create a brick...

Did you go to the exact same spot I listed? It is one of the tabs.

I'm not sure what the heck that registry entry actually physically does. I wish I did as I hate performing tasks I don't fully understand....but it will take some time to understand this....

The reghack enables the notifcation options.

Yes, it is specifically for the VZW Omnia. It is not needed for the i900, as it is already in place.

The reghack is the only reason you are seeing that option.

Create a String Value named Default. For the value, name is Low Battery Warning.


You will now be able to modify the settings under Notifcations.

Or import this reg file.
Got Resco FE last night. Used it today to enter the above from your post above. Easy as falling off a log....and it works!!

Thanks again!

RESCO costs, but with the new (relatively) finger-friendly format it is perhaps the easiest to learn and use!!

Just incase anyone is a little retarded like me:
To disable the 'data connection bubble' from popping up each time you connect simply go to settings>personal>sounds and notifications>notifications> Connection established

then uncheck display message on screen.

I'm sure most people figured this out but I had to search :newb:

Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 
I came across this thread http://howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1467857 related to the Omnia's battery life - from what most users are posting, the phone shipped with a crap battery (model ending in 31) and either went to the store or called and a new battery (ending in 20) was substantially better. (I don't own one, but hope to in a few months - so I have not experienced this myself)

I have a stock battery and get a good 2.5 days usage.

syrguy1969 01-11-2009 05:06 PM
Re: Omnia Hacks / Tips / Tricks
 
I'm in the same boat as Adrynalyne...I think I can run about 3 days without a charge....of course that is without any exessive use (games, music....) normal usage without skimping I think I can get about 2 days use. I just with the battery guage apps an work with the Omnia....the only way we can get a good idea is to open settings and see.

Here is a little CAB that apparently allows you to change the colors + text in the system bars...I don't use it, but if you try it, please report back with results for other interested parties.

*NEXT*

For SPB Mobile Shell users using a different SMS app:

SOLUTION TO REMAP SMS AND CALLLOG-BUTTON TO USER DEFINED PROGRAMS


SMS-Button:

Open your favorite registry editor and go to "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\RAI\:MSINBOX" and change the value "1" from "tmail.exe" to the path of the program you wanna launch. And do not forget to set the " " ! For example:

"My Storage\Program Files\VITO\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe"

Save and your done, the SMS button on the main screen of spb mobile shell should now launch VITO SMS Chat.

CallLog-Button:

Go to your windows folder on your phone and copy the file CallLog.exe to another directory, just for backup purpose. Open the attached file CallLog.run with any texteditor you have. Change the path inside to the program you wanna open with the CallLog button. No " " this time. Save and copy it with the also attached file CallLog.exe to your windows folder on your phone. Overwrite the existing CallLog.exe, ignore the warnings. Should work now.

No Solution for calendar yet and i dont use the mail button .

Tested on Samsung Omnia with german WM 6.1.
I tried the reghack, although I don't use SPB. It remapped my Email button instead, LOL. But hey, I am one step closer than I was before ;)

It remapped your email button? That is unusual!! On mine The first icon is for email + MMS, the second is for SMS the third is call log + VM, and then the task manager/favorites. When I did the tweak, it didn't work for the first hour, and then all of a sudden started working. Now everytime I hit that second icon I get PocketCM.

If your using Shell and mapping a texting app to it, you should be OK. What text app are you using?
