or you can just use schaps windows device manager and transfer the file into windows folder directly via the WDM(schaps app) while your currently on NODO, and then load mango onto phone.

When finished installing mango, goto market place download "connection setup" thats first thing you do, run connection setup follow on screen instructions (the connection setup looks for the CustClear.provxml file) and your done all your homebrew apps will work.

edit: add any reg keys you want into the CustClear.provxml and transfer it over using the app provided by schaps while in NODO.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
Thats correct ..but the above method from viel will work and

after mango update
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 3gox:
Hi there, great solution, but, one question:

What to do if My market doesn´t find the Connection setup on Market :confused:?

I have found it on Zune, but I don´t have an install button like in other apps.

Maybe is not avaiable for all the countries :S?

PD: Sorry for my bad English
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ViEL:
serach connection setup not htc connection setup
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You must have an HTC device for this. HTC Connection Setup is only on HTC devices. There was a hack somewhere that was a registry edit to change which OEM's market to show. You'll have to search for it though. Maybe if you're lucky, you can get it on Non-HTC device. No telling if it'd even work though.

[HOW TO] Get any OEM's Apps direct from the Marketplace on your Phone
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 3gox:
So if I own an Omnia7 phone, I´m not able to test this :(?

And what about it I try the Samsung "Network profile" app? Won´t be the same :p?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Don't know if it uses the same file. The link I posted above shows how to edit the registry to make the Market think your device is an HTC device. No clue though if HTC's CS app will work on your device though. I'd test it first. make a tes CustClear.provxml with a registry value you can verified is being written like changing one of the accent colors say.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
I dont know that ....but i think that samsung app its not reading provxml files ...

the trick here is that connection setup from htc can read and deploy any commands inside a provxml file.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 3gox:
Yeah, tanks for the link, I saw it, but since I´m in Mango I can not modify the registry for that too ;).

I´m not having time until Saturday or Sunday (Tuesday today here) to rollback and test that things ;).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
If it works, let us know so other LG/Samsung users can do this too.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 3gox:
I was going to try a fast test but for now it´s impossible cuz when I try to open "Touchexplorer" an alert gets fired telling Microsoft has revoqued that app :S.

Umm...I would have to try in another way :\, hope I would have some time shortly :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Your device is locked, that's why your getting that error.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 3gox:
That´s it.

That´s why I need some time in the weekend to rollback to 7004 and make the whole process to pass the unlock to nodo and mango.

What a hard life...jaja
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hx4700 Killer:
I'm sure samsung can do this using the GPRS settings trick some of us used to keep dev unlock post mango.

There is a diag screen that gets you a GPRS settings screen that will display and execute an XML (not provxml) in a drop down list that is placed in the root of the phone in a folder called provxml.

I would have to hunt down my other post on how I kept dev unlock post mango to get all the info.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
Custclear.provxml

Does anyone know how to put a custclear.provxml in the Windows directory of an already-Mangoed and unlocked phone? Can anyone tell me if it's even possible?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ViEL:
if you have an unlocked mango update thats what we are discussing here
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
I do, and I've tried everything mentioned in this thread, and still no joy.

in the first page i say how to edit registry to unlocked mango upade
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
I've already updated to mango. I'm looking for a way to edit the registry without going back to NoDo.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ViEL:
my friend that is the thread about! EDIT the registry if you have unlocked mango!!!

NOT NODO!!!! to nodo there is a registry editor to mango there is not! in the first page i say how to put provxml to phone and edit the registry settings
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 3gox:
You are great man. Your posts are really helfull.

I´d saved the Samsung diagnosis post, but in Mango I´m not able to update de diagnosis tool too, so I was trying to take another way before the weekend and do again whole the process.

I you publish how you kept unlocked in Mango i thinkg would be really helpfull for all too (allthough I know there are some posts about it).

Your backing up tool is excellent too :D, thanks for all your work
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
My phone is developer-unlocked, via Microsoft. I re-unlocked it after installing Mango. Is there another unlock procedure? TouchXplorer doesn't run any more. No "uninstall this app" message, it just won't open.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ViEL:
can you run another homebrew app? if yes your unlocked if not you aaren't
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
Yes. So what am I doing wrong?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ViEL:
so there is something wrong eith touchexplorer! if youre unlocked and cant run touchexplorer something messed up with touchexlporer! i can't help you at that, if you have a backup go back to nodo check touchexplorer is running ok and then updade to mango... if touchexplorer not run and you can run other homebrew apps then you have to contact someone you made touchexplorer! its another problem than we speak here
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] barrychon:
Does anyone know where I can find or how I can create the reg. edit for a higher number of SMS recepients for Mango?

Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Ddriver:
It's probably better to change the title to:

How do I change the registry entries in "Mango" without "Reg-Editor". ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Why? That sounds like a question. The OP is instructions on how to achieve this. The better Title would be "[How To] Edit Mango Registry (HTC Only)" or something to that point. This is a similar method to one reeg420 posted a while ago & it does work I've done it myself multiple times while upgrading to mango, downgrading to NoDo, Rinse, & Repeat. Everytime, the CustClear.provxml worked just fine.

Copy this code to notepad and save it as custclear.provxml

Folow the direction on the OP in #1 page

This method its working on HTC devices ..i have test it in my trophy...

Unistall toutchexplorer from your device and re-install it... ori use the one attached

That maybe solve your problem...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
This is awesome!! I'm not too good as this. So, would someone mind making one to activate the dehydration hack, and one to turn it back off? It would be GREATLY appreciated!! Thanks.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
Yes that provxml file is correct ...

But i think you are going to have probs in mango with that hack
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
Ok. Cool. And yeah, I'll be making one to turn it back of course since it could cause problems. By the way, why would it cause problems? Other than what has been stated already about the hack? Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] SimzzDev:
Has anyone gotten Connection Setup to run with an HTC Arrive?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
Tried that. Result: Error 0x81030120. I'm using the XAP deployer included with the MS Mango SDK. Would using an alternate XAP deployer make any difference?

Removed <Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/> from the manifest.xml file. TouchXplorer installed and runs, but just displays "My Device". No file system. Now what?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
Awesome glad someone started a thread like this. I was gonna start one when I had some more edits I could add to the list we already know...

By the way the dehydration hack works awesome for me on mango with the multitasking...

Got a couple of reg edits Im gonna try out tonight and Ill post em up if they work as they should.

Im surprised more people dont use RemoteSuite for transferring files from pc to phone... I love it... Upload/Download from Phone to PC...View and fully control pc from anywhere.. I dont know whats better that or TorrentBuddy.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
How do you get RemoteSuite to find the windows directory, my documents or anything in isolated storage?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] big:
Can't work in my mozart

When selection same list > auto exit!

Can set readonly file before copy to ww WP7?

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
I still have to use touchxplorer to move it to the windows folder... I just use that instead of other ways to get the file on the phone. No waiting for anything to connect...Connecting over my wifi takes a total of about 15 second to get the provxml in RemoteSuite's app folder (starts with DC) on my phone.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
How did you get touchxplorer to work? If you remove the interop capabilities flag from the manifest, it'll install, but can't find anything under "My Device". Am I the only one having this problem?

If anyone can baby-step me through this so it works, please do. I'd be pulling my hair out now if it weren't so short.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You need to have TouchXplorer installed before you upgrade to Mango. Once you unlock Mango, it'll work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
I did, and it didn't.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
No clue why not, it's been working for pretty much everyone who's tried. Maybe you had a bad update process. Have to tried restoring to NoDo & reinstalling TouchXplorer (Re-download the XAP also to make sure you have a good copy). Than re-upgrade to Mango. One of the times I upgraded to Mango, the market kept crashing. I've upgraded a few times & only once did I get that issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] kwill:
Glad to hear it works good for you. By the way, I can't get it to work for me. I used the provxml that I posted above that I created and nothing changes apparently. Games still start over when I leave the screen (that's my method of checking).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
When I upgraded my phone I didnt have anything on the phone except connection setup.. I did a fresh install all the way from the TMOUS 1.20 7004 rom. Then I deployed touchxplorer afterwards.

But on my girls phone I did hers with all her stuff on it right from an unlocked nodo. She already had touchxplorer installed.

Had you used touchxplorer before. Possible it writes something on first run. Because even though I didnt have it on the device when I upgraded to mango I uninstalled in beforehand just to be sure. Didnt want it to fail and had to do it all over again..figured I cover all the angles. So I had it running on the unlocked nodo before hand..

Possible.

And none of the reg edits I tried worked.. Why??..Have no idea. Maybe not the same on a device vs. the emulator... Cant read the registry..

EDIT: I know someone else already posted it but heres the touchxplorer I used if it helps.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ViEL:
Try this!!! to test if it works

<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\Themes\0">

<parm name="PageBackgroundColor" value="#FF212121" datatype="string" />

<parm name="SysTrayBackgroundColor" value="#FF212121"datatype="string" />

</characteristic>

this changes the light theme color to grey! if this works every else registry edit works! this is to test out the procedure

and to return it to white again use this :

<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\Themes\0">

<parm name="PageBackgroundColor" value="#FFFFFFFF" datatype="string" />

<parm name="SysTrayBackgroundColor" value="#FFFFFFFF"datatype="string" />

</characteristic>
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] purian23:
Question for anyone... Now in Mango I can set my timeout pin passcode to 20mins for my exchange server before I have to put in my pin code to unlock my lockscreen.

Can anyone look into the registry and see if they can find this spot, then edit it to say 24hrs or something before the required unlock is prompted!! That would be much appreciated, thank you.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Error 0x81030120 in mango..when trying to deploy TouchXplorer.xap..Any idea ?

Need to edit registry to test speaker phone volume on my Trophy, any idea ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
TouchXplorer must be installed before upgrading to Mango.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
@purian23 There is no way to look in the registry with mango.Period

Sent from my WP7 Trophy
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I wouldn't say that, there's a Mango Emulator dump. You can look through the rgu's to try to find the value, but it'd be time consuming.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
I was talking about the device, but ...

You are rigth about the dump. Its stil very difficult to see the registrys values on dumb and they are not allways the same as the values in the device...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drkfngthdragnlrd:
True, being an emulator, it may not be 100%. But, better than nothing.

Copied all the RGU's into 1 folder & than created a bat file to merge them into 1 giant RGU. Finally created a CAB with WinCE CAB Manager & imported the merged RGU. Open the attached CAB in WinCE CAB Manager to view Mango Beta2 (7661) Emulator reg in GUI format. It will take a while for WinCE CAB Manager to open it. It will look as though WinCE CAB Manager froze, just wait.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
Thanks for your work m8...i will look in to and be back with any new findings
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] purian23:
Thank you, I appreciate at least giving it a chance. Not being able to do something on our phones .. well doesn't much exist anymore, it's just a matter or how and when!!

Thanks again
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Is this the final word ?

Are we saying at this time, it is impossable(with current tools) to Edit the registry on a Dev-unlocked Mango device UNLESS you installed before upgrading to mango ?

Also, if I want to do editing of the registry in any way, I should roll back to NoDO (dev unlocked), install touch explorer, then upgrade to mango again, this will work with no issues editing/saving the registry in Mango ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] reeg420:
Another good place to look for registry info from the dump is the default and user hv files. Just gotta convert them to hvm files. Ill attach them here that I already did. Just open them up with notepad.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] iky10:
i had a similar problem i though it wasnt working properly, but if you click on the search icon within the program you will see the file system.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] colossus_r:
If its an HTC ...yes you can ...this thread is all about how to do it
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Does not work here :(

It's a HTC but, it's a CDMA HTC, just like the Sprint user, The Verizon verion does not work with the provxml method, it gives an error of it not being a HTC phone, when it actually is...

And I Cant roll back to NoDo....so screwed on that end (no working roms available right now)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
Whatever you said but this app is working fine on Focus, Mango beta ;) http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10619966

You can't list the registry keys but can read/modify strings/DWORDs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Well, This app does not work on a HTC Trophy (Dev-unlocked with mango) nevermind that I had to remove the "<Capability Name="ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES"/>" line just to get it to deploy. When ever I try to read/Write I get "Access Denied or Key does not exist"

No go here on a CDMA phone....
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
It's for Samsung phones only.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] singularity0821:
Hmm it starts, but it gives me an error msg too on my Omnia 7.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Yea, at this point I am willing to try anything because Nothing works.

So, like I asked, is it even possable to edit the registry on a CDMA HTC Trophy with dev-unlocked and mango on it ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] eric2k:
so if you did not have touch explorer installed before mango.... your more orless have to revert back and put it on? THEN thats the only way one can registry edit?

all i want to do is remove the app limit on side load on a Bell LG Quantum ..... I have a real developer unlocked phone, no hacks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] drtiendiep:
It don't run in Mango beta version????
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MetalHd:
I too have a HTC Trophy from Verizon, Dev Unlocked, Mango applied. Is there a way to remove side load limit without going back to NODO?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] killerkhatiby009:
There doesnt seem to be a way at all even if you revert back to NoDo to remove the sideload limit on an HTC CDMA device and have it stay in Mango. Of course if you have an official developer account you can remove the sideload limit in Nodo but even so none of the registry hacks will work in Mango such as the provxml because CDMA devices dont support HTC Connection Setup.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
The Proxvml does not work on CDMA devices because you can't install the files under mango and it does not have permissions to do any registry changes. This is the problem with most phones, no apps(registry/file manager) work under mango.

The HTC connection app from the marketplace does run fine on my HTC Trophy (verizon CDMA) with Mango installed, I was able to download it fine. It will run and make changes under mango with no reported errors (the app opens and appears to save the settings)

So, what I am saying is this process on the first post

Might actually work on CDMA devices

, the only bug is, once you set the registry settings, you cant add more to it unless you go back to NoDO again. Unless someone figures out a way to get file managment to work.

I got a replacement phone today (dead pixel on mine) and it's back to factory Nodo. I will try this in the next day or so and report back. Only issue I might have here is if under NoDo, file management does not work, then I am SOL but, have not seen anyone with issues here.

I, like others, feel that 3 app deployment is just too little but, some other fixes are needed that are not fixed in Mango (16bit banding, Speakerphone, etc) but, it's worth having mango, as the good out weights the bad.

I will report back my results...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] yung18:
hey davidct can u post ur modified CustClear.provxml with fixes for 16 bit banding (have u done the panelbpp=24 and if so does it work better compared to the full 16 bit banding reghack?), max unsigned reg, and dehydration reg? thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
I used the CustClear from the first post...Try to see if I can get this working correctly in NoDo, then I will move over to Mango...

The first post is claimed to have the 16bit banding hack and max deployment apps...

Edit: It appeared to work, I Deployed about 8 things to my phone with NoDO, besides some hangups on deploying (phone goes to sleep), they installed fine.

I will be upgrading to mango in a few hours...(edit: I have family here, so tomorrow, sorry, don't forget to hit thanks)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DavidinCT:
Ok, No go offical on a CDMA HTC Trophy :(

I used the method in the first post and used the CustClear.provxml on NoDO, I was able to install 12 applications after running it with no issues. I placed the script back in the Windows folder before I upgraded to mango.

So, I upgraded to mango, tried to run any of the apps I side loaded, it gave an error that I had to uninstall it and kept doing it till there were only 3 side apps installed (so, no go on the upgrade with more apps method).

So I ran the HTC Connection Setup(with CustClear.provxml in the Windows Directory) and it seemed to show like before and I thought it made the changes. I rebooted the phone and tried to Sideload an App, I got the 3 application limit. SO this was a no go.

Not any of the eXp apps ran at all, no file mangement or registry access from the 3 apps installed, they all failed after the upgrade was done

Nothing or no part of this thread has worked here :(

Does anyone have a CDMA Windows Phone 7 model (Sprint Arrive or HTC Trophy on Verizon) on Mango that can side load more than 3 apps at a time ?

There are just too many home brew apps that are awsome to only have 3 installed (I need at least 6-7 at a time).

Can one of the experts help here ? I have a backup before I upgraded to mango, so if someone has a good idea to try, I will downgrade back to NoDO and re-upgrad to mango to try it.

Any one ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Rcf686:
I'm glad I'm not the only one. It wont run on my developer unlocked focus either. Luckily after the upgrade most of my reg edits stayed except for the sideload limit. Do not see why there should be a side load limit on a developer unlocked phone anyway.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
Do not see why there should be any limit: not for registry access, file system access, etc.
