[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] 100Tbps:
I'd like to see common registry hacks already applied and perhaps a txt file explaining the ones included with the new ROM. For example, the ones I listed below are from my own notes so when I re-flash I can re-apply them.

Regarding software, I'd almost prefer to see CAB files instead of pre-loaded software. Since CABs disappear once installed, we could make the choice of installing or deleting, and thus possibly save space but also gain the benefit of having them ready-to-install. You could even use different subdirectories for free vs the ones requiring a registration code to help keep the surprise / disappointment factor down (when we find out it costs money). This would also prevent a problem of competing solutions for some who prefer one plugin over another if they both serve a common function.

Along the same lines, I believe registry hacks can be applied via CAB files or maybe even .reg files (or maybe not - I'm still educating myself with all of this). You could stick with what you have for the current ROM but load it up with optional extras which could be deleted if we just didn't want them.

I think what you're doing is great and applaud your efforts!

I just started configuring my 8125 today, these are the hacks I applied so far (after stepping up to your 2.17 ROM):

Enable scrolling in IE with 4-way button

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav

Change Value from 1 to 0.

____________________

Slide-out Keyboard Status Indicator

\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd

Create entry EnableIndicator and assign DWORD value of 1(decimal)

____________________

Increase your 8125 speed

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\

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

Assign a value of 1 to EnableCache

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\

Assign a value of 4096 to ReplStoreCacheSize

____________________

Disable menu animation – removes menu animation which uses up system resources

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu

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

____________________

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

____________________

Enable 802.11g

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms]

"dot11SupportedRateMaskG"=dword:00000008

"dot11SupportedRateMask"=dword:00000001

TCPMP

TCPMP definitely, I use this more than any other app on pocketpc devices.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] knight4led:
I think you should also consider a paired down ROM. One without any Cingular addons that aren't required to make the device work on Cingular. Basically only the ones that set up MMS and the GPRS settings. I'd even leave out the proxy if thats possible.

But in this paired down ROM I'd still include a few extras like some extra themes and ringers.

And I'd put in the two programs I don't think anyone can live without, SmartSkey and TotalCommader.

Thats basically the setup I have now, but I'm wasting space in my extended ROM and other areas because there are things on my device that I can't remove and I'm not using.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Is Adobe reader prefered over the ClearviewPDF Reader that is already in the ROM?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: Continued Bluetooth Fixes

I'm not familarwith SSP. Is it a profile? What does it enhance/enable?

Do you know if there are any WM5 devices which have it? (perhaps it can be ripped out and added to the Wiz)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
haha this is at least the second message that goes something like: "how about a ROM stripped of everything, but add this and that and oh yeah add this too". I say this in good fun so don't take offense. It just indicates that everyone has quite unique needs.

I will create a barebones ROM as well. But I don't want to have too many ROMs out there because I don't want to have to rebuild them all when something changes.

As far as using the Extended ROM for other purposes..as of now it can't be done. It's locked in some way that prevents effectively using as storage space. (if you try to manipulate it, it becomes corrupted). So the only use for it is to install stuff at first boot.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] paulesport:
Well I might as well put in my two cents....but first....Summiter....marry me! I'll tell my wife to divorce me and she can take her nokia phone with her!

-Ok definitely Smartskey in the same folder as Omapclock so smartskey.ini file can tell omapclock to clock me at 216 everytime after soft reset.

-Please take out the stupid SIP keyboard...i'ts useless and can only be used by leprechauns with little fingers.

-A way to easily change splash screens.

-Hide SIM contacts

HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone

new DWORD value named "ShowSim" and set it to 0

1.	Disable menu animations to increase performance:

"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SYSTEM\GWE\Menu"

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

- Add vibration instead of sound to keypresses in the phonepad for better tactile feedback:

for i = 0 to 9

Give an example for "i" Button:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\Dtmf "i"]

1. Rename Standart DWORD parameter "Sound" to "Sound1"

2. Create new String Parameter "Sound"

3. Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.

For this there is also a cab file available.

***this is a cool registry tweak

- oh and this is a must have, all these pda phones lack in the phone department...people on the other side of a phone call can barely hear us until you put this registry tweak in.

\\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\

changed RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME and EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME values to CC. after that change, microphone sensitivity got better and didn't receive any more complaints.

Though i wish someone knew a way to improve the sound mic quality during speakerphone.

And there are so many ringtones in your rom summiter...they all sound alike lol. put the You've got mail.wav file for incoming mail, i have it if you want. how bout some funny ringtones or music ringtones instead?

k that's all

What is mean by framework files? is it framework-res.apk or framework folder in System?

Because when i just take framework-res.apk and then decompile SystemUI.apk no folder found in 3-Out folder.

Thank you before

You need to install all framework apk's such as framework-res.apk, twframework.apk or whatever your frameworks are

Change app name

Hello,

Sorry, I am a newbie here. Is possible to use this tool to change the name of an app in order to install it twice?
[Android Software Development] Rootk1t:
This app doesn't need to be installed.
[Android Software Development] bovirus:
[MENTION=5526239]neuronfj[/MENTION]

This app can decompress/recomrpess the apk.

This app not change the contents of teh app. For that you need to know the SDK.

[MENTION=1009180]rootkit[/MENTION]

The question by neuronfj is different.

The app the the user have to install is not apk tool.
[Android Software Development] funky0308:
Yes it can.

Just decompile apk and change name or version nr and you will be able to do that...

We are doing that with a themes.

Read question two times before you answer.

It can be done...

Guys if you don't know the answer or you aren't sure - don't answer.

---------- Post added at 10:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 AM ----------

For 4.4.4, at least for Z2/Z3 need some changes to work...

Thanks ;)
[Android Software Development] bovirus:
[MENTION=4816245]funky0308[/MENTION]

Did you read carefully my answer.? Are you sure?

This tool can decomrpess/recompres apk. Cannot change the name of the apk.

To do that you have to manually change the code.

BUT THIS IS NOT OT IN THIS THREAD!!!!!!

Please before to answer something sure that YOU know the argument.
[Android Software Development] funky0308:
Of course im sure.

I said - decompile and change name or version nr.

Of course it can change name automatically... For the love of God, it's apktool with user UI, it's not space ship...

You have three files inside of apk (decompiled) you have to edit, compile, sign and install

It's not OT, it's about this app...
