I read. You post didn't include a breakdown of all the settings.

For instance the option to put the clock back on the task bar doesn't seem to work. So what what else does/doesn't? I guess some of the registry entries have changed

If you've read through the other 14 pages you'll see there are some situations that work without drama when this is used against the AKU1 version of the ROM and others where it's pretty catastrophic.

BTW... lots of useful tweaks here that could be worth including in this app... it's a lifesaver compared to doing all this manually!

im using the latest kjam rom on my qtek 9100 (2.16.9.1 wwe)

ive hard reset my phone and tried various versions of registry wizard (including the K version) but whenever I select my hacks, reset the phone, it starts chopping the phone signal level meter in half. like i can't see what my signal level is. ive tried reversing the tweaks, and uninstalling the app, but that doesnt bring it back. the only way i get it back is by hard reseting. this did not happen until after i upgraded to the latest kjam rom.

anyone else exprience this?

--

edit: i just downgraded my rom to the last stable qtek release and i still have this problem. i guess i will just add the tweaks 1 by 1 until i figure out which is causing this.

--

edit: ok, i applied no hacks... i just started registry wizard, selected apply without checking anything, soft reset, and again half the signal meter is gone. shrug.

--

edit: ive went back 2 - 3 versions all the way back to F and i still get the signal meter cut in half. i dont remember this being a problem before. definitely strange.

Request: Add get rid of the ANNOYING and HARMFUL EDGE disconnect when you hit END

HLKM->ControlPanel->Phone, REMOVE the DWORD entry "FLAGS" (it is currently "8")

Soft reset and no more ENDing your EDGE session! Voila!

Now you can use the "double END" trick to return to the home screen from almost anywhere without having the phone kill a data session (e.g. Agile, a web page download in progress, etc)

Not my original "get" but VERY useful!
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Are you sure it doesn't work - or are you referring to the now-infamous issue of the Today Screen hiding the clock? Because that's an entirely separate issue.

You can check whether that tweak still works as intended by going to the Date/Time settings, checking the option to show the clock in all programs, and then switching the clock tweak between showing just Time and Date + Time. And be sure *not* to be on the Today Screen %)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] OffBeatMammal:

040C French

0410 Italian

040A Spanish

My question is, how do u know that German value is 0407? I would like to find out which value is for the Greek keybord and an info like that whould be very usefull. How did u figure out the correct codes?

errors on Cingular 8125

I used the latest version on my Cingular 8125, and get the following messages when opening this program:

Warning, your devices seems not to be a HTC Wizard. It identifies as: WIZA100

then, the standard registry change warning, followed by:

Exception

It seems to work, though I think something I changed actually slowed down my performance instead of speeding it up.

1) the default input method bug - few people (including me) got a white screen - only HR solved it

2) after starting programm, the cache tweaks are unchecked. Why? I mean if there was a change then i think it would be nice that unchecking the box would restore default and checked box meaning there was change from the default.

ok, just my two cents

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nicodekker:
In the new 1.0L version I've added two options in the Info screen. Both labels show device information from the registry. While browsing my registry I found the following entries:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\System\ModelID

String Value WIZA200

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SystemParametersInfo\OEM info

String Value WIZA200

These two entries are now displayed in the Info screen. This way I hope to find where the device gets the info about :

Settings - System - Device Information - Identity

Please be so kind to post the settings so we can solve problems with "incompatible" tweak settings. Also state which Model and ROM version you are using.

Thanks,

@Kimld

I've try this but it's don't seem to work ... Are you sure of your registry Key
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Registry key is fine - I've used it myself to add the disconnect button. You do need to soft-reset. Lastly, are you looking in the right place? It would appear in the little message bubble when you tap on the [G] connection icon in your taskbar.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
I tried changing that one time to see if it would affect the control panel display - no go.

That whole key section doesn't appear on my device - specifications as in my sig.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] marciton:
@ZeBoxx :oops: it's my fault ... it's work fine :->>

does exist the same to connect by click on the G icon ?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
'fraid not - for that you'll have to install some third party tool. There's a couple that work from the Today Screen and a few that work from the Task Bar. Just have a look around :)

I just fire up Internet Explorer, my start page is on my own server, a blank page. If I'm on WiFi - no GPRS will be started. If I'm not, GPRS will be started, but no traffic to speak of will be made. I typically only use the GPRS when browsing the web/checking e-mail away from WiFi hotspots anyway - no need to leave it on otherwise
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] stegz:
I was getting no signal or connectivity after applying the tweaks. Tried to make the default input method "PHM External Keyboard" which it turns out was the problem. Went back to "Keyboard" and the problem was resolved.

Come to think of it I've never been able to get "PHM External Keyboard" to work so maybe that was the problem and not the tweaks.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
I'd advise against using PHM External Keyboard as well. Ignoring that it doesn't work with external keyboards as intended under WM5, it also tends to remove the SIP selection option (the little up arrow) next to the SIP - so changing back to another SIP becomes semi-impossible :)

I wonder what happened to Mr. PHM anyway - surely the IT back-end for the website should have been fixed by now.

missing signal

Just wondering if anyone has the same problem. Once the tweaks are done I am missing my signal strenth, speaker, and clock in the task bar. If anyone has a fix for this please help.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
For anybody losing the clock and getting something like a rectangle overlaid on the other icons (which will have shifted to the right), try setting the Date/Time tweak to show the Time or Date or Date+Time specifically.

Alternatively, edit the registry manually to restore:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1; for time only

Requires a soft reset, iirc. Just press the power button for a few seconds until it asks if you're sure you want to power the device off - choose yes. Then start it back up by pressnig the power button for a couple of seconds.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kingbear2:
Re: missing signal

It seems many people are having this problem. All you need to do is go into Registry Wizard and uncheck the option on Tweaks2 for Clock/Date (I forget the exact wording, but it's like the 2nd ffrom the top).

That should do it.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] kingbear2:
How about this tweak?

There is a registry entry that controls this behaviour:

Use Total Commander to navigate to HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete
Assign a value of 0 if you want to keep the original .cab after installation, assign a value of 1 if you want it to be removed after installation.
Perform a soft reset by holding the Power Button for 5 seconds and confirming.

Soft Input Panel delay

Does anyone else have this issue?

Whenever I pull up the context menu on the default input panel, it takes about 10 seconds for the choices to pull up.

I can't understand why there's so long a delay. There's only one registry entry chane for the SIP, and it's pretty straight forward to change to a different guid.

Why is it taking so long for that menu to pop up?

Nico - might be a good idea to have a sub-option to add some spaces at the end of the short date format :)

Note that it'll depend on what people's short date format is - if it's wider than the time, it'll get clipped. If not, no need for the extra spaces.

XML for tweak

Strawman proposal:

<tweak name="my tweak">
<description>
"Describe what the tweak does here. A tweak
can include several individual changes."
</description>
<applicable>
"WIZA200"
</applicable>

<registry>
<key>
"\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\EnableIndicator"
</key>
<dword>
1
</dword>
</registry>
...

<registry>
...
</registry>
</tweak>

nicodekker,

Have you already this program, or not?

You develop in VB? Visual studio??

I am thinking to try develop some simple programs in VB too... it is easy??

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
jfai... a problem with what your strawman example is that you're quickly going to get...

<tweak name="ZeBoxx's tweak">
; tweak to set keyboard icon here
; tweak A
</tweak>
<tweak name="jfai's tweak">
; tweak B
; tweak to set keyboard icon here
</tweak>
<tweak name="John Doe's tweak">
; tweak C
; tweak to set keyboard icon here
; tweak D
</tweak>

That is to say, you're going to waste space, and possibly run into UI issues, with such a format.

Although I'm sure everybody would love attribution of certain tweaks to their name, I'm not so sure there's all that many people who originally thought of a tweak at all - so attribution seems silly anyway.

-----

Edit: looking back on this, a similar structure may actually be inevitable as some tweaks involve more than one registry key anyway.

-----

However... Let's say that your strawman example is really not so much a final format, as it is a distributional format. What I mean by that is that, as key names will be the same (though values might not be*), they can all be consolidated. So that in the end, the XML that actually gets used exists of:

<tweak name="Consolidated tweaks">
; Tweak A
; Tweak B
; Tweak C
; Tweak D
; tweak to set keyboard icon here
</tweak>

Another issue - this is my opinion - is that your format doesn't provide for multiple values / etc. There are many registry settings that aren't just 0 or 1, or a variable, but rather a fixed set of choices.

-- off topic, as a music channel is on TV

What does the Pink Panther theme have to do with that new Beyonce song? What a waste of a perfectly good theme.

-- /off topic

I think that before discussing the structure of a tweaks XML, it's good to find out what the needs are. As this thread is going quickly off-topic, and finding information in it will become difficult, formulating the XML might be best continued in a Wiki?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Tweaks_XML
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] jfai:
See further discussion in wiki

The tweak name was meant as label for the set of changes, e.g., the label of the check box, if check boxes are used to enable the tweak. It wasn't meant as attribution to a person.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] TechniKal:
more tweaks to add if you not got them.

heres some possible tweaks for wizard.

Since we're adding tweaks to improve performance and usability:

1. Disable menu animations to increase performance:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu"

Change "AniType" from "6" (default) to "0" (disabled).

2. Increasing font cache and screen performance:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE"

Change "limit" from "8192" (default) to "16384"

Note: "this tweak will use some more free memory"

3. Increase general performance:

1) Ga naar de volgende registry entry:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\"

Change "CacheSize" value from "0" naar "4096".

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=0x1000(4096)"

Change "EnableCache" value to "1"

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\"

Change "ReplStoreCacheSize" value to "4096"

4. Use a different email adress in MSN, then hotmail:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Pocket MSN"

Delete the "AutoDomain" key.

5.Turn On GPS Application

Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings

Delete the DWORD marked "hide"

Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)

The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings

6. Change Scroll Bar (Smaller)

Change the width of the vertical scroll bar and the height of the horizontal scroll bar so they take less room on the screen:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE

Change cxVScr to (say) 9 to make vertical scrollbar narrower. Default value is 13

Change cyHScr to (say) 9 to make horizontal scrollbar narrower. Default value is 13

7. Cleartype in landscape mode

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]

"OffOnRotation"=0

theres more if you search the threads.

The more possible tweaks for the Wizard the better. and consider having more options like the amount of chache size for different stuff were possible..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
This is an excellent idea!

Tweaks2k is superb, but gets out of date every time someone finds a new tweak. But then we end up with 10,000 "how to tweak my Pink German QWERTZ Edge Chinese Language ROM Charmer???!" threads, with needless repetition and the chance that tweaks relevant to others are missed.

Way back when I used to use Windows instead of PDAs, I used to use X-Setup Pro to check out a few tweaks. Although it's generally easier for me to do them by hand, the app has an extensible hack interface using XML.

Not that I suggest cloning the format, but it's probably as good a place as any to get ideas for a format.

It uses a tree/category based interface, which will probably save the UI nightmare of a very long scrolling dialog, or a potentially confusing array of tabs.

nicodekker: I know very well the feeling of a gaping chasm that can open up in front of you when you ask people for suggestions for an app, but if you're volunteering, since XDA Devs is pretty much at the forefront of tweaks and hacks, such an app would be a great way for us to unify this information.

Why not make a program which you can use on your computer, where you select a variety of tweaks you want use on your mobile phone.

Then let it produce a single cab file you can execute on your wizard.

This will save alot of free space on your wizard and gives people the oppurtinity to make their personal favorite cab files which they can save for further use.

And if you make it easy for people to add their own tweaks, this program could have a large variety of tweaks build-in, but the possibility to expand the 'tweak-list'.

just my 2 cents.

And open source would be cool, i'm currently learning programming on school aswell, would be nice to see what code is used to make such a program.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] vijay555:
If you use an xml format to store the hacks, you could use that both on the PDA and a PC app. The PC could just spit out a registry file that could be imported directly or turned into a cab perhaps.

Hosting the tool just on the PC would remove a lot of the usefuless of it I think. eg We're not going to run back to the PC everytime you want to enable startmenu animations.

Progress

I had very little time today but I hope to post a very minimum first release this evening or else tomorrow. Just a few tweaks are in this version (not all shown on the demo screen) but I will also publish the source so verybody with VS2005 experience feel free to adjust, improve or extend the code.

Without doubt there will be programmers handling things in a more efficient way but that is always the case.

Requirements to "work" on this code are:

Visual Studio 2005

OpennetCF (www.opennetcf.org)

Compact Framework version 2.0 (on the device)

and spare time ;)

Just a few simple warnings. The OpennetCF function for the registry already contains functions for the 4 main registry entries:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT

HKEY_CURRENT_USER

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

HKEY_USERS

So exclude these names from the registry entry. Else you end up, just like me, having entries like:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE with a subkey

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

the Opennetcf registry function makes use of a kind of create function the check if an entry already exists and else creates it. So watch out!

I hope to find some more spare time tomorrow to get things going.
