Theme .PNG Replacment?

Ok, In the [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\0] you'll see that there are certain areas where it reads "res://UIXMobile!ui.xxxxx"

For example:

"CheckBoxBackground"="res://UIXMobile!ui.light.checkbox.background.png"

(Correct me if I'm wrong, but) "CheckBoxBackground"="res://UIXMobile!ui.light.checkbox.background.png" is a specified image. Is there any way to locate the image and replace it? If so, could full theming be possible?!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xboxmod:
you can replace it by file://yourpics.png but it's just used for some button.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
oke cool than its probably device dependent. I have a samsung omnia, its just the volume of the entire audio class, so maybe other brands have a higher/lower volume setting for the shutter sound. Setting it to a diffrent value can not really go wrog I guess. Or maybe it has to match one of the 30 audio levels, I have only tried zero :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sbryan12144:
ok. i know the PageBackgroundColor is where to change the whole backgroung. i have the image on my device that i want to use for the PageBackground image.

In TouchXplorer app, the file is located at: My Documents/Zune/Content/0030/00/0d.jpg

I tried to put in: "file://Zune.Content.0030.00.0d.jpg" but it didn't work..

Did I do something wrong, or does it have to be a PNG image? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Well for starters, you're specifying the wrong path. Even if . was a path separator, the phone isn't going to scour your whole system for a file with the right name. You'd need the "My Documents" and probably an initial separator to indicate starting from the filesystem root... As it is, I bet you don't actually have a file called "Zune.Content.0030.00.0d.jpg" anywhere on your system, much less in the default location that the OS checks (probably \Windows or something under it). The correct path separator is \ although sometimes / also works. A . in a file name is just a . in a file name - most Windows files have at least one.

Try "file:///My%20Documents/Zune/Content/0030/00/0d.jpg" (this uses / and %20, which is standard for web addresses but you may also be able to use the "normal" path of "file://\My Documents\Zune\Content\0030\00\0d.jpg" instead, or possibly without the initial \).

It may require a PNG image, though. It *shouldn't* since the phone ought to just be saying "decode this image" and let the decoder figure out what the format is, but ringtones apparently have to be in a pretty specific format, and maybe images do too. I use IrfanView (free software, really great at image decoding, recompression, and conversion) for most things of this type, although as of Win7 you can probably get away with using Paint. You'd obviously need to copy the file off the phone, convert it, and put the conversion on.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xboxmod:
yes the correct path look like this.

file://\Windows\picture.png

but you can't add wallpaper by this way

this just change some switch & button
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] megagprime:
Hey what about replacing alert sound locations? Refer to ringtones?

LG can't set the alerts and alarms

-EDIT- HOLLABACKREAM!!!

I got that to work to, just manually change the registry

current_user\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS

Sound = \My Documents\My Ringtones\whatever.wma

Using chevronWP7 ringtone installer and MFG APP ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
really nice. The next question is how will I get my files there in that folder?

with a samsung. because emailing wma/mp3 does not work to save it right?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] megagprime:
Use chevronWP7 ringtone installer!

So far I can only change alerts. Alarms seem to be set up much different
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
There's a registry key that lists valid names for alerts and alarms (in the GUI, so you don't have to manually edit the registry to change them later) but I have unfortunately forgotten its location. I think it was a multi-string anyhow, which is currently not editable with the available apps.

I was able to add custom alerts and alarms by renaming one of the WMA files in \Windows\ and substituting it with my own, set to the same name. Hardly an elegant solution, but it solved the basic problem.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] phil10:
yes, me too. Max unsigned apps doesn't work on my LgE900 Optimus.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] megagprime:
i have lg and cannot access the windows folder so i cant replace the files, i have to regedit the ol' girl. i'll be experimenting for a couple hours this morning on the way to work

when you change the registry entry about max apps (or any regedit) i think you have to reboot right away.

or you can unlock with this like i did

i had the same question but for now it seems there is no answer, may i ask what you would need it for? maybe i can help you with an alternative, i found quite a good one which saves a lot a battery in comparison too
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] babadudu:
I keep getting disconnected to School's wifi and have to keep reentering my credential everytime, keeping wifi alive would be a big help.

However, would also like to hear what your "alternative" is ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Marvin_S:
To get The damn push to work. My carrier cuts the 3g signal off if i dont use it actively i get disconnected. So the push can not be delivered. This is a well know problem and the push team will be fixing the way wp handles this but for now the only option is non stop wifi. If wifi drops the drama starts again of not being able to establish push channels etc. And the push will turn into hourly poll notifications.

So yeah the only alternative would be to drop tmobile but unfortunately i still have a couple of months to go (1 year contract) :). Im hopefull the update will fix it though.

custom accent not read by all apps

For anything other than the OEM accent colors, some urls and other accents revert to basic blue (yuck). Examples: the info link in Advanced config, the perceived accent color in Board Express for Tapatalk.

Is this fixable? Does the accent color have to be web-safe?

Also, I copied some files to the \Wallpaper directory, and get "access denied" msgs when I try to delete them. None of these files are in use. Is there a way to change permissions so I ca delete them?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] __ow:
If it's actually all third-party apps (ie Silverlight apps) then it's probably because their colors and other resources are determined by a couple of XAML-files in \Windows. Only the native apps can be controlled by the registry values.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] piaqt:
But when I use a non-custom accent color, my choice is reflected in all apps. So why not with a custom accent?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Because those XAML files include definitions for the other accent colors. The problem isn't that Silverlight apps don't understand accent colors, it's that you have to add accent colors in two places - registry and xaml - and you're only doing it in the registry.

menu keys haptic feedback

hello, does anybody know if there is a possibility to disable the haptic feedback on the menu keys (back, home, search) through the registry settings... I've been looking for some ways to diable it on my htc mozart and I'm stuck... can any of the more experienced users shed any light on this? Is it ever doable? It's a minor issue perhaps but it's quite annoying not being able to control it.... apart from that, it's battery draining thing...

I would appreicate any advice or hint :) best regards :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] HyperMatrix:
Not sure if it's been mentioned already or not but the tweak mentioning changing your background colour to grey can be changed to any HTML colour code. Just add #FF (for max opacity) + the 6 digit HTML colour code. I'm using navy blue. Looks great.

Well it seems I can not do any registry changes via provxml method.

I can use registry editor and all parts I have access to can be changed. If I use provxml method by copying custclear.provxml to windows folder it reboots but nothing changes. If I send it as xml file to my e-mail and run it advanced config says unable to apply changes.

Any ideas?

I have not done the update yet as it was not there yesterday via o2, I have not made any registry changes I just made fresh hard reset from previous fiasco, applied chevron, installed advanced config, file explorer and regedit. Tried to run my xml files to quickly setup the registry and error.

How did you do that? I'm not able to find that key in registry, or i'm getting some kind of warning that I don't have full access to the key. Would have been nice to get callerID to work.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] prjkthack:
Anyone know of a way to actually confirm whether or not provxml has made any changes? Considering we can't access some registry entries currently, the only thing we can do is apply a provxml and *hope* that it changed the registry.

For example, I enabled wireless N, but I can't confirm that provxml did it' job and has been changed since I can't see the setting using a registry editor.

All Files needed should be included in rar at bottom

1. Email ChevronWP7.cer to phone and install

2. On PC install ChevronWP7.reg

3. Install vm_web.exe and update VS10-KB2486994-x86.exe on PC

6. Put phone in Airplane mode and connect wait for zune to sync and make sure you are not logged in as guest.

7. Run ChevronWP7.exe

8. Tick both boxes and hit unlock. after works the unlock should change to relock

9. Open new text file in top line put REGEDIT4 then copy paste any reg entries you want to make after so it looks like this:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]

"PortalUrlProd"=""

"PortalUrlInt"=""

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LVMod]

"DeveloperUnlockState"=dword:1

Just keep adding reg entries until you have it set up with what you want to change.

10. Save file as CustClear.reg not txt and it will create the reg file you need to convert.

11. Open rgu-2-xml.exe

12. Browse to the file you just created then click translate.

13. go to the file you just created in same folder and change the file mxiupdate_CustClear.provxml to CustClear.provxml

14. Right click HTC-ProvXml-Deploy0.0.1.xap open it with winrar

decrease volume for charger connecting

Not sure if this will be of help for anyone but here goes. I always set my phone to Silent when I go to bed. As you might have discovered yourself, when you connect the charger, the phone produces loud sound (Alert 03 in case of Mozart), no matter if it is in Silent mode or not. This is a problem for me since this loud sound disturbs my wife who's normally asleep at the time. So here is the tweak: HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\BatteryCharging\InitVol. Set 'Value Data' to 50 or 40 and reboot.

You can also change the sound of alert itself: HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\BatteryCharging\Sound. Edit 'Value Data' parameter, like I changed mine to Alert-06 which is a softer sounding one. Be sure to use the Alert sound number that is present on your device.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
HD7 is too quiet, even at high volume? Odd... at anything above 25 on mine, the clicks from typing on the keyboard are uncomfortably loud, but people standing 10 feet away can hear music played over the main speaker. On headphones I don't usually run the volume over 10.

That said... there are some known registry keys that affect the base volume levels. They were initially indicated for use with the Samsung Focus, I think; lots of people complained that it was too quiet. However, I bet they'd work on the HD7 as well. I don't remember them off-hand but a search of the forum might turn up something interesting.

This registry editor really needs support for binary values.

Also, I'm pretty sure that the sick thought of bruteforcing for getting non-empty responses from value lookups would make a significant dent in unveiling hidden values. You also have to do that only once and then you can store the results of keys found in a list in the local storage for the app. Or, even though that's not as great, do it once for every device an firmware version and hardcode it (not recommended, really bad idea).
