[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xboxmod:
Simply read 1st post

this is not so hard to deploy provxml!

you create a text file with REGEDIT4 on top 1st line.

paste registry keys you want to add.

rename this text file CustClear.provxml

create xap with XBMOD.Files.Deployer selecting this file!

Deploy it!

On your device go to my ringtones folder and move this file

to windows folder.

run htc connection!

that's it!!

My phone never been relock when connect to zune.

If someone can try and confirm it's cool.

XAP Attached.

This registry key are not for unlock device!!!

just to prevent relock when connect to the computer for chevron user.

But take care do not Relock your device with Chevron after this.

if you do it!

rename and apply the restoreCustClear.provxml include in the XAP

i dont have this entry in my registry...what to do now??? :confused: :confused: :confused:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] htc9420:
Facepalm...

People, please read the OP post and try to understand it. Really.

Here are some clues:

- he's talking about changing WP7 registry NOT on host PC

- when transfered to your phone, the XAP will DEPLOY a provXML file under ringtones folder

- ConnectionSetup look for CustClear.provxml on windows folde AND will use that file- if you ''somehow'' manage to copy it to windows folder- to write the WP7 registry with whatever the values you provided in the provXML file, in this case to estabilish a link with a specific site over internet....

...facepalm...

Is it possible to remove registry entries yet? If so, could someone post a guide on how to do so?

A quick search revealed nothing.

[WHY] I have 3 Magenta accent colors in Settings since I accidentally tapped Magenta twice in AdvancedConfig (which added magenta twice). I can see the additional entries in Registry Editor (HKLM/ControlPanel/Themes/AccentsDisplayName) but cannot find a way to delete them.

Am using HD7.

Cheers
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] (nico):
I don't think we can remove a key on HTC yet.

You can still use my tool and change the name to a new one.

I've never tested it on a AdvConfig modified phone so be warned :)

http://bit.ly/fNYcHT
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] yamanote:
Thanks for the quick reply!

I had your older version of the CustomTheme tool which obviously did not have the name editor.

Updated your tool, blanked out the additional accent colors' name and is definitely better than having multiple Magenta entries.

Would be nice if there were a way to remove the extra colors, but oh well.

Thanks again!

MS Exchange config registry keys??

Hello:

First of all thanks for this tool, it is very useful.

I had a problem with my WP7 HD2. It is not possible to write spaces in the user name of the Exchange account when you are creating a new e-mail account.

My question is: Is there any registry key where the user name of the account is stored? I am thinking into create the account with the user name without spaces (which will not sync) and later on replace the user name with the right one with your tool and the suitable registry key.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I need help merging the xap file with my CustClear
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xboxmod:
about xap files:

An xap is juste a zip file with different extention.

If when you open downloaded zip there is lots of file just rename it xap.

If into downloaded zip there is only one file extract it this is the xap.

To add a file into an xap change is extention to zip

open it ,add your file then rename it to xap

.​
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] zotek:
just add custfile to zip with .xap....but after that i dont know how to deploy it..i was asking same quetions..but seems people here is not detail..
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sak211l:
1.This is what I did I right clicked on the HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.xap.

2.Then I put the cursor on the 7zip option

3.then selected the open archive option

4.Find the CustClear.provxml file in the archive and delete it

5. Drag your CustClear.provxml in the archive and save it

6. Now double click the HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.xap Click and follow the directions on the HD2 screen
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] zotek:
i finaly figure out how to merge the files,,

1. open the RAR HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.xap.> inside the rar folder you can find the actual .XAP (HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.xap)

2. i rename the HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.xap to HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.RAR

open the HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.RAR you i just rename..you will find bunch of files inside.

3.click ADD on the top menu > browes the provxml> click ok..now the provxml is in side of the .xap.

4. rename back the HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.rar to HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.xap.

5. extract the RAR (HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.rar) to anylocation. example desktop> HTC-provxml-deploy.0.0.1.xap

6. open windows phone deploment tool.. browes the .xap ( desktop> .xap) click deploy and done

what does this REG does?

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Accessibility]

"CompactMode"=dword:0

"TTY"=dword:1

"telecoil_UI"=dword:1

"telecoil"=dword:1
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] DanielNTX:
If your device does go into a locked state with this change you will not be able to unlock it unless you reset the device...

If you unlock your phone once and it worked in the beginning because these strings were correct:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.windowsphone.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https://developerservices.windowsphone-int.com/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"

If you changed the strings to prevent locking by either nulling or setting it to 127.0.0.1, you will never be able to unlock it ever again because it doesn't know what to query if null and 127.0.0.1 is the phone itself and not the computer if it becomes locked again.

Example:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"=""
"PortalUrlInt"=""

What ChevronWP7 does is run a secure http webserver on 443 to handle and send a response from the phone to query, hey should I be unlocked. The address of developerservices.windowsphone.com is spoofed on the local computer in the host. file to redirect it to ChevronWP7's webserver.

My recommendation is to change the urls to like developerservices.unlock.me which doesn't exist like this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlProd"="https://developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"
"PortalUrlInt"="https:/developerservices.unlock.me/Services/WindowsPhoneRegistration.svc/01/2010"

And then edit the hosts. file with an entry for developerservices.unlock.me with your computer's IP address.

You will be able to unlock 'til your hearts content because your phone can still contact the spoofed HTTPS server on ChevronWP7.
