Button Remapping

  • For ATT Tilt: How to remap the PTT button on the ATT Tilt to other programs
    • HKLM/ Services
    • Look for the PTT folder and delete the entire folder (not just the contents).
    • Navigate to the following directory: HKEY_LOCAL_Machine >> Software >> Microsoft >> Shell >> Keys PHM Registry Editor installed
    • At the bottom of the screen, select Edit >> New Key and name it 40C6 (4 ZERO C 6).
    • Select the new key you just added (40C6), go back to the Edit menu at the bottom of the screen and select New String Value. In the "Value name" field, type Name. In the "Value data" field, type Button 6. Click OK.
    • Repeat the 2 steps above to Add a New Key called 40C7 (4 ZERO C 7) and a New String under this key called Name with the value Button 6 (hold). PHM Registry Editor installed
    • Exit the registry editor.
    • Go to the Start Menu and choose Settings (bottom of the menu). Click Buttons and assign a program to the new entries (Button 6 and Button 6 Hold). As you can see, I selected Voice Dial and Voice Recorder.
    • Click OK and then do a Soft Reset, which means inserting the stylus into the little hole at the bottom of the phone to the right of the charger input.

  • Bringing Manual Screen Rotation Back to the Touch Diamond
    • As you may have heard, the Touch Diamond has removed the Screen Orientation options from the Screen control panel. This means that you cannot switch to landscape mode except in the programs that support the accelerometer screen orientation switching (Album and Opera).
    • This can easily be fixed with a registry hack. Using a Registry editor, go to:
      • HKeyLocalMachine/System/GDI/Rotation
      • Change the "HideOrientationUI" from 1 to 0
      • Then if you want to expand the rotation options further, within that same Rotation key above, change "LandscapeFixed" from 1 to 0.
    • This will give you the 3 rotation options you're used to seeing in Windows Mobile:
      • Portrait
      • Landscape (right-handed)
      • Landscape (left-handed)
    • However, since the TouchFLO 3D user interface is not designed to work in Landscape mode, as soon as you press the Home key, the screen will rotate back into Portrait mode. So be sure to use that Start menu instead when switching applications.

  • Lock/Unlock TouchFLO 3D Programs Tab Items
    • On a TouchFLO 3D powered device, such as the Touch Diamond, Touch Pro or Touch HD (and variants), you can easily customize your shortcuts in the Programs tab, by adding/modifying/removing items.
    • There’s a way you can lock your shortcuts so you won’t accidentally delete or modify them. In order to lock a slot, you need to edit your registry by navigating to:
      • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
    • There you will see 24 numbered folders from 0 to 23. Each one of them has a correspondent in a slot at the Programs tab, so that 0 will be the first one and 23 the last one. In order to lock a slot, enter the corresponding key folder (say key folder 0 for slot 1) and edit the value of IsReadOnly from 0 to 1. You will no longer be able to modify the shortcut on slot 1 within the Programs tab on TouchFLO 3D.
    • Unlocking - as described by XDA Developers - follows the same procedure, only you need to change the value of IsReadOnly from 1 to 0.
  • Improve PDF Readability
    • Opening a PDF document from within Adobe Reader LE and zooming in for better reading will have your text go outside your screen, needing you to scroll in order to read the entire text. There’s a feature in Adobe Reader LE called Reflow which will wrap your text in order to maintain maximum readability, so that your paragraphs no longer overlap your screen. You can access it from within Adobe Reader LE, going to Tools > View > Reflow.
    • Some devices, like the HTC Touch HD have this feature disabled by default. XDA Developers tell us what we need to do to re-enable it – that is simply editing the registry as follows: go to
      • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\AdobeReaderLE.25
      • Change the value of EnableReflow from 0 to 1.
      • After soft reset, you will have that option available.

Internet

  • If you want to make RSS Hub use Opera Mobile to open web links, make the following change to the registry:
    • [HKCR]\http\Shell\Open\Command\Default\
    • Change from: iexplore.exe %1
    • to: "\Windows\OperaL.exe" "%1"
    • Also change the [HKCR]\https key the same way in case you run across a https link.

    • HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\* your GPRS provider *\Enabled
      • Change the DWORD Data settings from '1' to '0'.
    • Then, go to the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ConnMgr\Prov iders\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\* your GPRS provider *\Enabled

    • Or use [[Media: |No Data]] from Paul, over at modaco.
  • Enable Internet sharing for ATT Fuza, Sprint Touch Pro, HTC Touch Diamond
    • Normally all internet sharing goes through either AT&T-ISP or though Sprint's tethering plan. This gets around that.
  1. connect your device to your computer and sync it
  2. Ok now you will want to "unlock your phones security" this allows you to change any registry key, download Security Configuration Manager from Security Configuration Manager
  3. Connect your device and Install the setup.msi file from the SCM (Security Configuration Manager) download.
  4. Under the Selected Configuration tab select "Security Off"
  5. Click the "Provision" button, SCM will install a cab file called Tool.cab to your device, restart and you will now be able to edit any registry key on your phone
  6. You will want to delete ForceCellConnection, which is found under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings.
  7. Restart your device
  8. Now you have it a perfectly good internet sharing device. Call AT&T or Sprint with a phony IMEI from a cheap medianet enabled phone tell them you dropped your device in the toilet and now you just want the unlimited Medianet for 15 bucks a month... works like a charm. Sorry sprint users but you will still have to pay for the unlimited pcs vision plan.
  9. Original Thread
  • Note:Although the hack is found under the forum for the Touch Diamond, it works with Sprint's Touch Pro, and AT&T's Touch Pro which is called the AT&T HTC Fuze. Also, if you have the Samsung Epix on AT&T, the above hack should also work as well. See this thread for more details.

Music

  • Larger album art on Music Tab for Touch Pro (CDMA/Sprint)
    • Remove "Sprint Music Store" banner on the music tab. In doing so, the album art pictures will be restored to normal (like the GSM import) Touch Pro size.
    • You will need a 3rd party file manager (like TotalCommander) to access the files.
  • Copy the file named "26948339_manila", in the windows directory of the phone to a backup location (your storage card for instance)
  • Copy the file to a PC and open with a basic text editor (I used notepad)
  • Search for the following text:
  • ExternalScriptPath="HTC\Scripts\sprintmusic.luac" and delete it from the file, leaving all other parts of the line intact.
  • Save the file and copy it back to the windows directory on your phone.
  • Perform a soft-reset with the button on the bottom of the phone.
  • The music store link should now be gone.

Power

  • In general, version 2 of the .NET Compact Framework is installed by default on windows mobile 6.1 devices. By upgrading the version of the CF, and setting it to be the default, you can eek out some performance gains!
  1. install version 3.5 of the .NET Compact Framework on your device: Download the .NET Compact Framework 3.5

  • Rotate Screen when launching application
    • First you need to install mortscript installed; click here to download
    • I'll give you an example to launch TomTom and ask for rotation of the screen.
    • You'll have to create a mscr file. Let's call it "tomtom.mscr". Open it in notepad for example (in PC) and paste the following text to the file
    • Code: Runwait("Program Files\MortScript\HIBERNATE.exe"
    • Switch (question ( "Rotate screen before running TomTom?", "TomTom Launcher", "YesNoCancel" )) case (1)
      • Rotate(270)
      • Runwait( "\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe" )
      • Rotate(0)
      • case (0)
    • Run( "\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe" ) case (2)
    • EndSwitch
    • Save and copy this file to the folder you've installed mortscript.
    • If you want to launch tomtom all you need to do is open the mscr previouly created. However, with this method the tomtom icon is lost.
    • To correct this all you have to do is edit the "Tom Tom Navigator.lnk" file on your devices Start Menu folder.
    • Replace it with:
      • Code: 87#"\Program Files\MortScript\Tomtom2.mscr"?\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe,
    • This assumes that Mortscript and Tomtom are installed in Main Memory... If not change the paths!
    • After editing this file the icon will be ok, and when you choose it a message box will appear asking you if you want to rotate the screen.

  2. Edit the file by tapping on the little icon next to "show" at bottom left.
  3. Search (magnifying glass icon) for "35" without quotation marks.
  4. Change it to "70" without quotation marks.
  5. Save and reset.

Video

  • Improve Touch HD Recorded Video Quality
    • XDA Developers have found out that if you do a simple registry edit, you can noticeably improve the quality of the videos recorded with the HTC Touch HD.
    • Basically the registry edit lifts Task Manager's low memory limit with reference to the camera application, from the default 4MB to 8MB, so it will require more memory to run, but this one would go unnoticed due to the considerably high amount of hardware memory these devices come with.
    • Download and run the cab, it will only change one registry value: in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Taskmanager\Lite it will change "DesiredMemory" to dword: 8192 (default was 4096); don't forget to soft reset your device.
    • Note: Since this does not look like model specific, chances are high that it would work on Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, variants or even other HTC models running HTC's Task Manager.
