Making permanent registry changes

Hi folks,
Is there a way to make permanent registry changes? I found the sound after pressing the dial button very annoying and tried to set initVol to 0 in the registry, but after a reboot the setting is back.
Same goes for some other settings in the telephone which I wanted to change permanently. Like, changing the default locations of the images being saved by the camera to \Storage Card\My Documents\My Pictures instead of the DCIM directory. Is there a way to do this?
I noticed there are some OEM settings, but somehow the telephone denies those registry settings when I try to set them to new values. Write protected?
How could this be done?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
The registry keys where the changes are not permanent is set to default at restart. The only way I know how to make these permanent is to alter the ROM before it is cooked and flashed...

Are you sure your tweeking the registry and not the profile?
Look up HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\CallStart
Change the InitVol value to 0 (I know you posted it but doesnt hurt to mention again.)
I have had this set on my phone for a while now without issue, and sticking after several reboots. Now of course if something else is bugging the phone it could be restoring the initial values, computers sometimes do this but usually require user input to do it...
Weird, what registry editor are you useing? Does it automatically restor a backup incase you mess something up?
I know sometimes when I have been changing things in my cars ECU it sometimes takes two or three times for the new coding to stick, might be something like that...

Had the same problem with the sound af call start and solved it like this:
1. Use Total Commander (freeware) and copy the file Silent.prof.xml from the folder Application data\Profiles to the folder \Application data.
2. Then rename the copied file to Normal.prof.xml (or Meeting.prof.xml, if wished, this is the buzzing profile).
3. Now move the new Normal.prof.xml (or Meeting.prof.xml) back to the folder Application data\Profiles and overwrite the old file.
4. After this you'll to have to reconfigure your settings in the normal (and/or meeting) profile but the sound at call start won't return, even if device is restarted. After a hard reset you'll have to repeat the above mentioned actions to get rid of the sound again.
Got this solution from another S730 forum. Seems the Silent.prof.xml file is the only profile in which the sound at call start is disabled.

Ehm, looks like a nice solution but trough both Active Sync as Total Commander I only find the Meeting.prof.xml file (even if I change my Profile to Silence or normal or whatever).

Could it be that you're using the desktop version of Total Commander? The link i used in my previous post contains a download of TC for windows smartphone. You'll have to install it on you device and work with your device. For some reason then you will be able to see the Silent.prof.xml and perform the steps in my previous post.

I just installed the Cab File which provided in your link.
It's a strange world .
Edit: Never Mind, got the Registry Fix Done, Thanks Anyway (I Love all those Registry Tweaks)

If you dont have "show hidden files and folders" enabled you might not be able to see them either, not sure but its also a possibility.

Perhaps a stupid question, but will the sound disappear in ALL the profiles using this technique? Or only in the new profile?
And is there also a way to disable the sound made at the end of a call?
Thanks for the solution!

I think the sound won't disappear from all the profiles. E.g. the outside profile can't be found even if you use TC on your device. Therefore you won't be able to overwrite that profile. I'm personally using the normal, buzzing and silent profiles most often so I can live with this solution. You might want to try and rename a copied Silent.prof.xml to Outside.prof.xml, move it to the original folder and see if anything happens. Never tried this.
Never been aware of a sound at hang-up, so don't know if it was there before I changed the profiles. In any case I'm not hearing any sound now.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the reply.

Seems like I totally scr*wed up my Meeting Profile.
At first i'd just try to edit the CallStart Value in the XML file from 2 to 0 and uploaded this via Active Sync My Documents. After that I remapped the File to Application Data/Profiles and Overwrite the Current Meeting Profile.
All worked Fine until I changed my Profile to Normal and back to Meeting. From now on I can't select or edit the Meeting profile. I've also tried to replace the Meeting profile with another profile using Meeting.prof.xml but without any result, Also tried to reset the profiles within the phone using Profile -> Menu -> Option 4 but still I can't do anything with my Meeting profile.
Does anyone has Any Idea?
Edit: A Couple of hours after the first apparence of this issue it resolved itself without a restart or any other handling, does anyone has any idea how I can change the CallStart value without disabling the Meeting Profile, I compared both Meeting and Silent and i'm 95% sure it must be this CallStart Value which has to be Changed.

Are you just trying to kill the sound on specific profiles or from the whole phone? Have you verefied that the registry edit will not stick for you?
From your issue it sounds like something was not put into the profile properly causing the issues, and window's found the problem and reset it to work again.

If I use the Registry Change I can do this everytime I change my Profile.
Using the XML file I was also trying to change the Vibration mode (I want to Combine Vibration and Sound but the Pulsating of a Text message has to be different from the Call Sound).
Does anyone has any idea about what's going to happen after you completely remove the CallStart Entry from your register? Doesn't this solve the problem or does this cause an error or something.

Several things could happen, its not a huge key so windows might just pass over it, however if the profiles are looking for it then you might run into some stability issues there. If you delete the key from profiles from looking for it in the registry as well then you might not have any problems.
Either way windows could either become unstable during calls or associated sounds, windows will restore the key, or nothing will happen.

I now also tried to edit the XML via Total Commander and saved it the Normal way, as Unicode and as Text, but all disables the use of the specified profile until a "reset to standard".
Anyone has any idea how to change XML profile files without making them incompatible.

I found the solution - just edit the properties of Normal.prof.xml and enable system flag (e.g. in Total Commander). That's all

I totally love you Radiax , you are my Hero for today .
First it wasn't possible cause I didn't catch Total Commander update of April 24th but now I've installed Total Commander 2.5 and it works flawless.
Damn I'm so darn Happy!
Let's create a new topic about possible Settings of the Script value . I can't manage to let my ringtone ring while my vibrator () is pulsing.

Pocket Player "Notification Error"

Hi all,
My P4350 is showing the Notification Error for every now and then. It says "Cannot execute\Application Data\Volatile\pockeplayer wakeup.exe"
The Conduit Pocket Player had no problem. Once my friend took the phone to listen to the music. After the phone came back to me this error is appearing.
I uninstalled the application. But, still the notification persists.!!!
Help me.

Hi all,
I uninstalled the application and reinstalled. But, the error still pops-up every now and then.
There is nothing in that path, which the error notification shows.
Is this a virus? Do I have to change any registry?
Please help me.

Any solution?
Hi,
I may sound that I am in hurry to get a solution ofr the problem.
In mean time, I renamed the S2U2 as pocketplayerwakeup.exe and saved that into \Application Data\Volatile\
May sound crazy!!!!!!
So that, if the phone wants to do something, let it lock the keys. So, now I am not getting the Error message.
But, still is there any solution for this?

error again
The error appeared again on today. i was surprised to see that, the duplicate copy what I created was not there. Don't know how that file was deleted. I again created the file.
Is there a solution to this? (Apart from flashing the ROM).

Whenever I connect the phone to computer, it is deleting the duplicate file what I created.
So, whenever I unplug it from computer, I again start getting the same error notification.

It looks like some background services tried to execute that path. Here is my appoarch, but be caution, if you are not familiar with the registry, please make a backup before editing anything.
First check if no "weird" stuffs is in the "\windows\startup" folder, then check if that path or file is refered to in the \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Init and \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services of the Registry and delete them. If still nothting there, make a complete search of the registry to see any reference to that file and delete it (it's ok since you already uninstall the program). Hope this help.

I am even more dumb when it comes to registry. (I can modify something if the name of the particular key is given.)
I could find the follwing thing in Windows/Startup
Capnotify.lnk
poutlook.lnk
WifInit.lnk
sddaemon.lnk
iLock2.lnk
WkTASK.lnk
GPRSNotify.LNK
Among these I don't know what does Capnotify.lnk and sddaemon.lnk do. I don't even know how to find the registry key which it referes to.

Try PHM Registry editor. Do a search with "pocketplayer" or "wakeup.exe".

No success
I finally installed PHM registry editor. But, did not find anything for wakeup.exe
What to do?

Lost file associations

My phone doesnt know how to open JPEGs. Even though i in Advanced Config told it to open with pimg.exe, i assume thats the picture and videos tool? What can i do to get the normal file asso's back, is there a "default" button somewhere?

Go to
Hkey_Classes_Root\.jpeg
Default =jpegimage
Content Type=Image/jpeg
Perceivedtype=image
Hkey_Classes_Root\.jpg
Default =jpegimage
Content Type=Image/jpeg
Perceivedtype=image
Hope this help

Thanks alot, im gonna look into that later! Thank you

Hi hope you could help me too
when i click the mp3 files from the file explorer they are not playing and it asks something related to the certificates. The error also advises to install the file again.
It is however functioning well when opened in the Win Medial Player. I all started when i uninstalled the Coreplayer and deleted the installer files.
Please help me.
Thanks.

I had a similar problem with .mp3 association, fixed it partly with "Total Commander".
However, I still cannot use .mp3 files as ringtones.....

I have found this solution
Use a registry editor, then locate:
1) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 - Default = WMAFile
2) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\DefaultIcon - Default = wmplayer.exe,-2001
3) HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\WMAFile\Shell\Open\command - Default = wmplayer.exe "%1"
last two entries might already be present in ur registry in that case u just need to change the first one.
============================\
I found this solution on research from the net however i have not tested it yet i left my diamond at home. I am not sure also where do i run the regedit. Is it through the pocket pc itself or in a computer (using regedit) when the diamond is connected?
Pls. let me know if this does the fix for you just in case.

Man, you're AMAZING!!!
IT WORKED !!!
I only needed to change No 1 !!
WOW
No2 in my diamond was "-2002", no need to change that. Just changed number 1 and voila...
MP3 RINGTONES AGAIN !!
Could someone add "SOLVED" on the title?

Registry Editing Question
Hi Garret, it's great news that you have solved your problem. I have one question though... where do i edit the registry file and how to do it? I hav tried connecting it to my computer and running regedit, however i was not able to see the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mp3 of my device.
Sorry for the newbie question.
Thank you.

HKLMWTF?

Ive never hacked a WM device and I have no clue how to get to the HKLM so I can make changes. Trying to find this information is exhausting so I figured Id just ask and get a simple answer.
Thanks in advance.

registry editor

as mentioned already, it is a registry value (abbreviated)
HKLM would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Right, that Ive found out already(through my research). However, my question is how do I get there to use it to change things on my Diamond found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417873)?

you need an application to search the registry, try googling for PHM registry editor, I use that and it's good.

Well, if you are not that good on computer stuff maybe you should not touch the Registry Editor.
You could use simple installable .cabs to modify your Jewel how ever you want.
Why don't you state what mod you want to take forth and Members here will help you.
Greetings

if you download an exe file like PHM registry editor
if it's an exe you run it on the computer and it use activesync to install
to the pda
if it's a cab file you copy it to the pda and run it there
but as stated if you dont know what you're doing
messing around with the registry is not adviced

Ok, fair enough. I installed the .cab file for the blackberry connect but have no idea where to go from there.
Secondly, Id love to be able to do the things found on the updated diamond tweaks thread.
ie:
Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
Adjust screen sensitivity: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold
Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal
Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
Enable Better Power Management
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SIM_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
Thanks. Sorry for being such a pain.

Part of my problem is Im running off a mac mostly. I have a PC on the side but I hate using it. I figured thats the only way I can get to the registry on the phone though.

Prob best to install either Diamond Tweak or Advanced config which is like a GUI interface to do alot of the registry tweaks plus alot more.

I would also suggest that you'd get a little more help if you wouldn't use such obnoxious terms as "WTF" in the title of your post.

I didnt realize it was obnoxious. I was trying to reiterate my confusion in an extreme fashion. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Using a reg file to set up phone following a ROM install.

Hi All,
I have been getting into installing ROM's on my X1 for a few months now.
All good bar the couple of hours it takes to reinstall a couple of apps, configure owner information and then go though ans set all the notification sounds.
So I got thinking and decided that, as all notifications were set in the registry, I could just export all the notification keys once set with the sounds and I could then (after copying them into the windows directory) import the reg ke file into the registry and bob would be my uncle.
Well, Bob turned out to be someone elses uncle and this did not work for me!. Gutted!!
A sample of the reg file includes the following:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications]
"AlertInterrupt"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\Phone]
"Wave"="\Windows\Resident_Evil.mp3"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"Options"=dword:80000000
@="Phone: Incoming call"
"DisplayOrder"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D658-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Wave"="\Windows\Infbeg.wav"
"Options"=dword:00000001
@="ActiveSync: Begin sync"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"AvailableOptions"=dword:00000003
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D659-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Wave"="\Windows\Infend.wav"
"Options"=dword:00000001
@="ActiveSync: End sync"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
"AvailableOptions"=dword:00000003
What seemed to happen was that one sound (the wrong one and the first in the windows folder) was applied to ALL notifications.
So my two questions are:
1) Should I actually be uploading/copying my ring tones and sounds to the Windows/Rings folder?
2) Is there a particular format for reg files and the entries therein to have them work for carrying out this task?
I will say that the owner information was input in the registry correctly. Just not the rings and sounds...
Thanks for any and all help on this..

For path in reg, you need double "\\" for sub-dir. e.g.
"Wave"="\Windows\Infend.wav" > "Wave"="\\Windows\\Infend.wav"
Resco Explorer has problem with big registry file so I would suggest you to put the reg into cab using WinCab manager.
U can check out my rom thread even you are not using my rom. I have a section there for UC which gives a lots of tips how to import user custom setting/config after new rom/hard-reset

Hi,
Thanks jackleung for the info. Looking at the User Customisation: could well be useful.
But the reg key info will get me going for now and get me up and running quickly..
Thanks again
