The forum starts to be a big huge, there are allready dozen tricks or little hacks, that havn't even seen because hidden in a post somewhere.
So the idea would to collect all this tricks/hacks and index them in a wiki page. That way everyone could find them and if needed add some explanations; ( the wiki could also link to the post to get the full review and explanation for the futur)
Of course the wiki will not be the place to ask questions, just a list of all the technical details like registry hacks, hidden extended rom etc..
What do you think about this idea ?
It's here already, but needs some updating
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
Yep this is a good idea. I've created a suitable page at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry - please could everyone add in their own hacks (with examples)?
ive pasted in all the reg's n tweaks ive collected up so far, needs editing to the same standards you set out, but i will action shortly.
Cool - a good set already!
Added the standard disclaimer at the top of the page so that people don't moan when they make the wrong change and break their Universal

Is there somewhere a FAQ with descrition of some important registry tweaks for Wizard? It would be great to have such a listing, and it would also lower the number of repeated questions here in forum.
Something, like
Enable "E" icon for EDGE
/HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/EnableDifferEdgeIcon
Font color in Phone /HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/DIALER/portrait/text/textcolor
etc. etc.?
If this does not exists, it would good if everyone, who knows some usefull tweak will post it here, what you think?
Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
well, i saw this thread, but let me quote a part of one answer in this thread:
but gets out of date every time someone finds a new tweak. But then we end up with 10,000 "how to tweak my Pink German QWERTZ Edge Chinese Language ROM Charmer???!" threads, with needless repetition and the chance that tweaks relevant to others are missed.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so, sure such a program would be nice, but i think, that something like listing of all the registry hacks can solve many many problems
How about on this thread,we answer two things ,which may helpspread awarness of apps & prog out there maybe also help see what your exec can do and achieve
If the above idea is ok I'd like to ask two things
A
If you just got a brand new shiny out the box exec,what would you do too it and what would you add.?
I Intend this weekend to save and compress any memory,by using another ROM and other software,but I have no idea,so ill search the site this weekend
secondly maybe we can post up here ,things you'd like,your exec to do,
hopefully if your request isn't too OTT,someone may know a way or provide a link
for e.g.
I'd like my exec to watch tv is this poss?
reply
either pre load your memory card with compressed films and use a dvd software,like this
www.alink.com
or install slingbow and the relevant software,this is there homepage
www.homepage.com
a one thread resource for a how to,regards the limitations of an exec
jaceuk - we're having this discussion over here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56072&highlight=
But basically, the wiki lives, and is used as a repository for knowledge. Anyone can access/update it. That's the best way to distribute this type of information.
Regarding what to do with your Exec, there are several threads on the subject... eg what software to install etc.
OTT requests - just post them. People will respond if they can!
Very few things are too OTT

Thanks as always ur the gent,i was unaware of the wiki ill look
thanks
But any questions, search first, but do ask. That's why we're a community
V
is there any *must have* software overview? or just some nice tools, each should have...i'd like such a list
There are many on this board. Have a look. There was one we all contributed to in the Universal thread, but there are many on almost every forum.
V
*nods*
but spreaded out in the whole forum, thats why a wiki page or list with a kind of "must have" would be great
That's a very good idea!
Sorry for passing the buck - but the wiki's open to all - want to start a page?
V
Created a template, please update a good text there because my enlish is teh suq
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Must_have_tools
I've modified the template slightly and started the list off. Get going people.

added some great freeware apps.
I have been working on a new version of the Wizard wiki for most of the day. I think the old one is badly organized and hard to navigate. However, I kept most of the same information. The links at the bottom were on the original wiki also, except they link to forum topics; I think that they are important enough to be turned into their own wiki pages. I don't mind doing this but I want to get some feedback from the community first... Reply and tell me if you think I am wasting my time, if you think I am doing a good job, what should be added/removed, what should be changed, etc. etc.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_New
(If it becomes good enough I hope to make it the main Wizard wiki page...as I said, I find the current one hard to navigate.)
Hi,
as you have propably noticed there's couple discussions going on about the forum and some "experts" leaving it etc..
Good structure is very important for wiki and also for forums. So I think you've done a good job there...especially I like the idea to turn certain stuff to their own pages, links to the forum threads are just too messy.
I just finished transferring "How to determine if you have a G3 or G4 Wizard" and "How to SIM unlock and SuperCID unlock a G3 Wizard" into wiki format. Could (a few) people please proofread and triple-check these for me, I don't want anyone to ruin their device because of a misprint or a confusing sentence.
I would suggest you taking the hermes wiki as template for your structure / organization:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Well done Lee1733.
I have often thought the wiki was out of date and in need of some tidying up. The search facility on these boards is becoming unusable due to thread hijacking and repated posts. I pity new users who have to wade through pages of threads to find a simple answer. A good tip is to use google to search xda-developers as it does a better job of sorting the wheat from the chaff. Perhaps a link to google this site as well as the default search should be put in the header of each page.
The wiki is the best place for FAQs but it is down to all of us to keep it upto date.
I just finished adding/editing the "How to Change the Wizard's Splash Screens" and "How to 'Cook' an Extended Rom" pages. I basically copied this straight from http://www.molski.biz (and gave him credit at the bottom) so they should be correct. The only changes I made were some minor Wiki formatting changes.
can blue angel run this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469865
you can install it, i had a previous version installed with sun_dream's wm6.1 rom and i thought i had an improvement. another thing is: i just checked the registry and the values mentioned in the thread do not exist on my xplode 21202 rom, so i don't know whether it would change anything to install it, it wouldn't do any harm, but then don't expect any improvements, if you do, please respond here and write azharsunny, that his tweak works for the ba too so he can add it to the list of compatible devices
Also, could you Edit the tittle of first post to something more like " iTouch Tweek" for BA ???? So others would be more interested in reading.
I would also suggest to test it and let us know.
Edit: Also, are you looking for better sensitivity with your finger or with the stylus? I've found that when you do the Screen Setting, if you do it with your finger, and gently touch the crosses, it give you more sensitivity when using finger.
Ive tryd this reg change my self there's no difference what so ever, on our BA's that is.
It could be that since this reg tweak was meant for other devices, the values are elsewhere. I remember changing the screen sensitivity a while back in WM6 and it does work. I'll try to see if I can remember the entry, but it does work. I don't know if this "program" works or not, but I guess trying it wouldn't hurt.
@Nev2Star
markanthonypr is absolutely right. Please refrain from opening a thread with a title like that. Whenever you create a thread, please make sure that the following conditions are met:
[highlight]* You are posting it in the right section of the forum:[/highlight]
This is clearly a specific program compatibility issue and it sure does not deserve a new thread for it. You could have just created a post in the thread where you found the program or you could have asked in the "Questions and Answers" section of the forum. Remember, this is only for WM6+ development, testing, etc. and not for specific programs. This is not the first thread that you have opened with similar purposes in the BA section and I am simply asking you to open them in the right section (which is not this one).
[highlight]* Make a title for your thread that is specific for your problem:[/highlight]
Again, if you want someone to look at your question seriously (or even look at it at all), put a title that clearly explains what you are looking for. A title of "help", doesn't say anything. What happened? Did your BA crash? Are you trapped in a coal mine? You need help with math homework? What does "help" tell the other members looking into possibly helping you out? Absolutely nothing.
[highlight]* That the thread doesn't already exist / the question hasn't been asked before:[/highlight]
In this case, there is a full thread in the Dev & Hacking section solely dedicated to this program. There is no need for a new thread talking about compatibility of this.
