I got this issue too, so for hmdshmds or anybody else who finds this thread, the answer is simply (well after a day of tracking it down :rolleyes:) that in the registry path, the root part must be in the short form "HKLM" etc, and NOT "HKey_Local_Machine" as hmdshmds/g77 had it.

I've put an article on my website explaining about it, and also - care of a Microsoft blog entry - how to get Visual Studio 2005 to build this right into the installer without any other external software. See Removing Registry Keys with WM6 Deployment . (*UPDATE 1-Sep-2008* Previously, the IE7 phishing filter was reporting the above link as a "possible" phishing site. It absolutely is not and the false warning was reported to Microsoft and has now been corrected.)

Happy coding guys and gals :)

well, maybe a bit late answer but you cant remove 'folders' which contain values.. you need to remove them one by one, at least i cant get any further the nthat!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RyanMogul:
This might be a little late as I was not a member when you posted here, but to provision with a cab you should leave out the </wap-provisioningdoc> from the top and bottom. It will not fail to parse including that string and its confusing when it still doesnt work. That is your problem. Remove wap provisioning string from top and bottom. Here is how it should look.

Hi!

I am, as everyone else posting in this thread, trying to remove a bunch of registry settings using a cab-file. Thanks to this thread, my hopes of success were raised once more :)

I tried all of the examples posted in this thread without success, found a link on modaco which lead me to this msdn-article:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms834737.aspx

Works like a charm... Thanks a BUNCH guys!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Angelusz:
As this is the first thing found when googled - I'll add a little information.

For files, you need to remove each and every file contained in a folder before the folder itself can be removed.

For registry keys, you do not need to remove seperate values. Deleting a registry key, deletes all contained values and subkeys.

Great post. Just what I needed.

But I have problem with WinCE CAB Manager version 3.0.0.22. Anything I added to the pre or post XML, the CAB file cannot be install. Took me forever to debug and nothing works. Anybody?

I finally switch to version 2 and it works perfectly.

Deleting Files too

Searching also brought me to this thread. I was wanting to delete files as well as registry entries. They dont' work quite the same, as I found out the slow way. After long hours of searching, I finally found this reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms834745.aspx and I'll quote it here for convenience. It demonstrates create and remove directory, as well as move, copy, extract, and delete files. Maybe this is obvious or not needed for people with a cab tool, but since I am too stubborn to install or use a tool, I am making this the old fashioned way, with my favorite text editor.

Cheers,

Well, tha's really well documented but I am lost here for now :(

I want to delete the registry key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today"

because of skin problems, and I have specific skin that re-writes this whole key when applying new theme at fisrt start up anyway.

So I tested the following via advanceconfig and it didn't work, AC gives me an error :

<nocharacteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today" />

I also tried to save this as a .provxml to be cooked at the end of EXT

but it doesn't work either.

Could somebody guide me ? Is my syntax wrong (mostly) ???

Is there a way to adjust the vibration pattern and duration for Android Messages app? I used to have a single quick pulse (on previous phone), but now it's stuck on a double pulse and I can't seem to find a way to change it.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] BigOkie:
Don't believe so. I know that other messaging apps can customize. I use YAATA and it does that.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] nextohel:
You can also customize vibration patterns on Textra.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] BigOkie:
Used that too and yes. Both apps are good substitutes if you don't need RCS just yet. Where unlike YAATA over Textra is it allows you to customize via integers the sequence and duration of the vibrations. Textra uses a gui based capture (you create a sequence that way). I like YAATAs method because I use a Morse code based pattern based on messages from people where I use their initials as the sequence in Morse code.

[Moto G Power Guides, News, & Discussion] Mtn Lion:
I downloaded over USB an app.apk to my just purchased Motorola moto g power that has Android 10 on it. I enabled debugging and connected to the device over adb. Now I want to install that application, but I'm struggling to find it. I keep getting access denied when navigating the directory structure. I'm not exactly sure where the .apk is on the filesystem. I did a drag n' drop from Windows 10 to the path "This PC\moto g power\Internal shared storage\Download" to put the .apk on the phone.

How can I navigate to the apk file through the shell when I keep getting access denied? The phone isn't rooted, I haven't done this before w/out root. Any tips?

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] BiNexus:
Hello, I hope that this topic can be opened here, if not please move it or let me know and I will delete it.

In adb I am getting the error "failed to check server version: protocol fault (couldn't read status): No error" and I cannot see my device when I use the command "adb devices". Moreover, it seems like my phone is not letting me authorize my laptop for USB debugging despite trying different options to getting it to work. I have tried different trouble shooting methods that I have found online, but nothing has worked so far. If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated.

I am using a POCO F2 Pro that has had its bootloader unlocked and I am running Xiaomi.eu version 12.0.4 (stable) and using a Windows 10 machine to connect with my phone. I did not have much problems with the flashing off TWRP, using ADB commands, or flashing the ROM when I did all of these things last month.

Now, however, I have been having some problems. I believe it started when I tries to update the System FW a few days ago in the phone instead of flashing it manually. Because it was the stable version, and because the option existed in my system settings, I thought that I would be able to update it without going through those steps. The update downloaded and I got the correct file, but when I hit install, I did not get the new FW, despite the phone rebooting. I've been having problems with adb since this time, I believe.

+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~.

At line:1 char:1

+ adb -d kill-server

+ CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [], ApplicationFailedException

+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandFailed

When I ran the command in Command Prompt, I got the error "failed to read response from server".

Trying to start the server also lead to an error "protocol fault (couldn't read status): No error

Part of my issues may be coming from the fact that I no longer get the authorize USB debugging on my phone, even after I have revoked the authorizations. I've tried different ports, different USB cables, and even factory resetting my phone, to no luck.

A bit of a strange issue. The fingerprint sensor has been working 100% without issue since getting the phone.

I let the kids use my phone for an hour to watch cartoons. After that it started not recognising my finger. I cleaned the glass, removed the case, re created the fingerprint profiles. I made a mistake and tried an OTA update, which then had to fully reset the phone, but that's another issue.

I am using a tempered glass protector. I took it off for 1 day to see if that made a difference and not really. Even being extremely careful after 1 day there were tiny scratches on the screen.

Wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this. I did reload it with the latest Miui 12 stable, but made no difference. Not sure if the kids were pressing it constantly, but no signs of damage.

It will vibrate and attempt to recognise my finger, but just fails. Then the next time it may work, but intermittent and really annoying.

I have found that it seems to work better when out of a case for some reason. Maybe the sides of the case resting on the glass.

Overall I think this is a great phone. Shame about no development happening. As I use it debloated with MicroG it means I can't do ota updates.

I'm considering getting a Galaxy, Oneplus or Pixel phone. Until the possibility of more development happens if ever

We've had ours for about 3-4 days now and I have found the FPS to be crap out-of-the-box. Exactly the same issues as you, and with just the default screen protector on it. Sometimes it works fine at first attempt, at other times I have no choice but to enter the PIN to unlock.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] birleytweet:
I made the mistake of letting my kids use the phone again a few days ago. After that the fingerprint sensor would sometimes not be detected. The phone randomly won't switch on and have to hold down power for about a minute then it turns on. Very annoying, but doesn't happen all the time. Did it almost all weekend, then today it's working almost fine.

Did test in TWRP and didn't have the same issue. So making me think it's either software or fingerprint sensor related, causing the issue.

Still think the phone is great and there's not really another phone on the market I'd prefer at the moment, just need some custom rom support. A work friend has a Note 8 and his will be 50% battery while this is still about 85% or so

For me personally I prefer hex over synergy/subs. Just feel like hex has more customization options and the themes are more detailed. Admittedly I haven't tried synergy/subs lately so maybe that isn't the case anymore.

Other than the power consumed while building/installing the hex themes I haven't noticed a hit on battery while actively using a theme.
