[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] TheChampJT:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE!

​

EDIT & CHANGE @ YOUR OWN RISK!!!

​

Personally, the Touch is the best phone I've used to date. But, there is always a way to make it run faster and custom to your needs. I figured I start a thread here with all available and possible system tweaks. I only know of a few, hopefully some of you out there know some more you can post.

*TO ENSURE YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO A HARD RESET AND LOSE ALL DATA, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL YOUR DATA BEFORE CHANGING THE SYSTEM*​

Getting Started

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

below is a list of applications I either use or have used, and work great for tweaking your device

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Freeware

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

PHM RegEdit

A perfect tool for editing your registry.

*CAB file attached below due to some confusion with which file is correct from website

Total Commander

Probably the best file explorer I have used, also includes a directory to your registry for editing.

schap's Advanced Config Tool

Great application for tweaking the system, as well as changing your comm manager, button mapping, file associations, and others.

dotfred's PIM Backup

A great free backup tool to be sure all of your PIM data [contacts, calendar, messages] is safe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional software I recommend [NOT FREE!!!]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​

Spb Backup

This is a great tool for ensuring your data is backed up! I have it set to automatically backup every morning at 5:00. Works well since I always have a copy no more than 24 hours old. Great software, I completely recommend it. Also, it includes a desktop component which allows you to extract information in the backup file like your text messages and contacts.

DinarSoft's MemMaid

I have found this to be a great tool for managing your system. It includes specific tools to manage the memory in all aspects, as well as some system tweaks.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Learning the Registry

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Quote from our wiki, "The registry is a simple database where settings can be saved by windows applications, services, and the operating system itself."

In other words, the registry holds all of the important and sensitive data that your device uses to function properly, which is why you must BE CAREFUL!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*YOU MOST LIKELY NEED TO WAIT 60 SECONDS, THEN SOFT RESET FOR CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT*

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I highly suggest taking a look at the below articles to better your knowledge.

Even if you already know what it is, you may learn something new!
