[New release] VistaHide Battery Gauge 1.0 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello!
I recently purchased an iPaq hw6955 and fell in love with it. I have been coding on Windows for way too many years, yet this is the first time my PDA doesn't run Linux (or OpenBSD ).
I recently saw levenum's taskbar battery meter, and though that it would make a nice project for a first mobile application. How pleased I was when levenum accepted my request to share the sources. How even more pleased and surprised I was when I saw the code. It is exactly the same as coding on Windows...
So my idea was to have a fullscreen gradient bar that would look "behind" VistaBetaTWO's WA2 Aero skin. And I've done it (and it only weights 12 kb!).
Here is a screenshot for your viewing pleasure.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But after having read levenum's thread, I understood some people would like it thinner, etc... So there are tons of options read from the registry! The gauge should work on WM 5.0 PocketPC and Smartphone editions, and should handle screen rotation, but I can't test this because the emulator doesn't have an option to switch between landscape and portrait, and the hw6955 is a square screen device.
The registry keys are kept for each resolution, which I will write as "W x H". (e.g. The base key for my device (240 x 240) would be HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\). All of these keys are independant (i.e. If you need to only modify the height of the bar, you only need to create the Height key.)
Options :
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\X
- Window's left position. Default : 0.
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Y
- Window's top position. Default : 0.
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Width
- Window's width. Default : -1.
- Note: Any value below 0 means fullscreen.
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Height
- Window's height. Default : 4.
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Thresholds\Critical
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Thresholds\Low
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Thresholds\High
- Value between 0 and 100 which represents the gradient thresholds.
- Default : (Critical) 0.05, (Low) 0.25, (High) 1.00.
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Background\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Background\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Background\Dark
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Critical\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Critical\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Critical\Dark
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Low\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Low\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\Low\Dark
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\High\Light
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\High\Normal
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Colors\High\Dark
- Colors! If you look closely at the screenshot, you will see that the bar is "beleveled". The light color is the top part, and dark one the bottom, everything in between is normal. Want to disable "beleveling" ? Set the light, normal and dark to the same color.
- Default values ( Light, Normal, Dark ) :
Background : RGB ( 64, 64, 64 ), RGB ( 32, 32, 32 ), RGB ( 0, 0, 0 )
Critical : RGB ( 255, 127, 127 ), RGB ( 255, 0, 0 ), RGB ( 127, 0, 0 )
Low : RGB ( 255, 255, 127 ), RGB ( 255, 255, 0 ), RGB ( 127, 127, 0 )
High : RGB ( 127, 255, 127 ), RGB ( 0, 255, 0 ), RGB ( 0, 127, 0 )
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\X
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\Y
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\Width
[DWORD] HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Excluded Regions\{Anything}\Height
- Now for the fun part... This is how you can remove "parts" of the bar. For every key in "Excluded Regions", it will read a rectangle, and exclude it from the window.
- Default value : No excluded regions.
Example (I think it's necessary ) :
Here are the keys needed to achieve the look in the screenshot (at 240 x 240). It uses all the default values, except for 4 excluded regions (one per line).
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\X : (DWORD) 13
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\Y : (DWORD) 0
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\Width : (DWORD) 11
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 1\Height : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\X : (DWORD) 11
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\Y : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\Width : (DWORD) 15
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 2\Height : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\X : (DWORD) 10
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\Y : (DWORD) 2
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\Width : (DWORD) 17
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 3\Height : (DWORD) 1
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\X : (DWORD) 9
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\Y : (DWORD) 3
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\Width : (DWORD) 19
HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 240\Excluded Regions\Line 4\Height : (DWORD) 1
EDIT: Forgot one neat feature... If you launch it while it is already running, it will close the running instance.
Hope you enjoy, and you can expect a lot more freebies like this from me in the future!

Looks damn pretty!
Gonna check it out right away!

Awesome post. Thanks so much for this.
Great tutorial as well, I succesfully (and easily) adjusted my height to 2 which is a lot less intrusive for my needs. ;-)

Glad you find it useful. For those who intend to use it on a device that can rotate the screen, I remembered while commuting home that I forgot to regenerate the bitmaps on rotation. This means that the bar will not be drawn correctly upon rotation. I will fix this in the next version.
And if I feel like it, I might even make another application to configure it (to keep the bar's small footprint.)

Awesome application... thanks u very much...
i have already download and try it... however why my bar always shown in front of my wisbar not behind the wisbar ?
Have i do anything wrong ??

The bar is not "behind" the wisbar. It is simply not drawn at some places. To achieve the same looks as in the screen shot, the you need the 16 registry values I posted in the section "Here are the keys needed to achieve the look in the screenshot (at 240 x 240). It uses all the default values, except for 4 excluded regions (one per line).".

hi, i tried it on my T-Mobile SDA WM5 smartphone but nothing happened. There was also no HKCU registry entries.

Sorry, my bad! I blatantly assumed the smartphone edition was like the PocketPC edition. I will fix this in the next version. Probably friday afternoon.

I might have been a little bit too implicit. HKCU stands for HKEY_CURRENT_USER. All those keys do not exist, and they are not created by the program. The bar will attempt to read those values on start, and will fall back to the default value if the key doesn't exist. For exemple, if you only create the "HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Height" key, then only the Height of the bar will be modified, nothing else.

thanks for the clear up

New version
I just found version 1.1.1 at http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vistahide-battery-gauge-v1-1-1.html
Is this the same program but the upgraded version just never got posted here?
Anyway, it works great on my cingular/at&t 8525 aka HTC hermes in landscape AND portrait mode.

I know this is an old post but I've been trying to get this off my mogul for a while now. Somehow it's gotten to my startup folder and I've tried everything to delete it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

"EDIT: Forgot one neat feature... If you launch it while it is already running, it will close the running instance."
Take care it isn't active. Then uninstall it!

tried that also, total commander says its unable to delete the file.
so i just had it inactive and moved it out of the startup folder.

WOWIEE!
Do i really need to install the sources too ?
And would it be nice to have a little tool, to set up the height and stuff you really need..
ThnX, looks pretty neat btw. Cool app man.

Dogfoods tweak can set the height of the statusbar, and more.

Does not reload on Power off
I am running WM6 on an AT&T Tilt. The program runs fine (and I find it extremely helpful...well done). For some reason, when I turn the phone off and restart it, the Battery Bar does not reload. I have to restart it every time. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance, both for the help and for creating a wonderful little program.

put the program inside your windows/start folder...
and it will start each time...

For those who hates the "Message Sent" notification after sending an SMS, this is the steps to remove the bubble notification...this is the STEP by STEP method to do it in case some of you guys dont get it right...
1. First, you will need to download a Registry Editor to help you do it...
2. using the Registry Editor, navigate to:

Ring tone has a standard 3 seconds delay before repeating. You can set the delay from 0 second to how many second that you want.
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Change 'Script' from 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr' and you'll get 0 sec delay.

May be a hard reset would help :?
That is what i dont whant to do.. have no backup=((
Anyone know why it dident work?
Is the Mini the same as I-mate Jam and Qtek S100?
I dont know any other solution for you :? except for a hard reset.
Try SBP Pocket PC tips and tricks. Almost all of the mentioned tweaks are supported by this program & only softreset required to get them activated. Plus no hacking in the registry by hand, just set an option . I got my time & date in the top bar for instance working flawless.
Got two extra hacks for speeding up file browsing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=0x1(1)
Cheers, M
Nice work, bhai. Did some of the tweaks and they work well.
Thanks.

Do we need these registry hacks with the new ROM (AKU2)?
Is there a hack to put the date & time in the title bar on ALL screens (including the today screen)?
(AKU 2.0 removes the time from the title bar when viewing the today screen.)

It works on my Prophet with AKU 2.0, but it shows the date in European format (e.g., 28 . 03 for March 28). Hate to be a stupid American, but I'd prefer the month and day switched to 3-28. I wonder if that's possible?[/url]

hi there, i believe you can still change the date representation in regional settings.
Tried the software on a Pro flashed S200 ROM, however, i still have the battery on the today screen. On other apps, it works fine.
Also, with wm5 v 2 (the one with aku2), i can't seem to get phone pad to start as default.
tried this already:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP
"DefaulfIM" --> {51A2CB38-154E-4C92-A625-A83871C99EC2}
Although the key remains the same after reboots, and its the same key that's found in CLSID, the keyboard is defaulted after every reboot.

Yes, the keyboard is default no matter what reg hacks I try either. Tweaks2k2 and sktools tweaks don't work either. I think it's a wm5 thing and I can't figure it out.

turn off the led blinking on xda neo

hey guys,
is the a possibility to turn off the green led blinking?
Yes, put the phone into flight mode.
The top led blinking green indicates you have a signal on the network.
Steady orange - charging
Steady green - charge complete.
Bottom led: flashing green - active wifi
flashing blue - active bluetooth
well, without losing connection to the network.
any registryhack?
is there nothing to switch the led off? (without loosing connection! )
i will pay for the feature
ok there is no free solution?!
Is here anybody who could code a solution? if so, how much is it?
yours, acco
There is a solution. Its not expensive too.
Non transparent tape.
Just don't look at the led or simply note the blinking time it takes and close your eye accordingly.
Hehehe..
This thread is pretty funny
you can crack it totaly make it blank with a pencil....
haha!!
I absolutely mean it serious!
I suppose there might be registry entries that control it but I reckon you're stuck with it.
There ist only one entry with "LED" in the name.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Security/System/SYSTEM/NLedAPIsReady = Notification LED APIs
And the same in Events.
And one called nleddrvr.dll maybe NotifyLEDDriver...
I think we have to wait for a while. My ex-device a I-mate Jasjar we have a .cab that make the green light no visible.
I didn't found a .cab yet, but as soon as I found it I'll tell you all.
Hi,
hm... i have waited for one month now. but it seem to be not enough!?...
ok, i'm still hoping!

Change the 'user agent' identification of Pocket Internet Explorer
To change the 'user agent' identification of Pocket Internet Explorer, several fields need to be adjusted. The example shows how to identify as Internet Explorer 6 - desktop version
The standard compliance 'user-agent' string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\(Default) = "Mozilla/4.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Defaults to "Mozilla/2.0" The application/version string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Version = "MSIE 6.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Defaults to "MSIE 4.01" The host operating system string:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\User Agent\Platform = "Windows NT 5.0" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Defaults to "Windows CE" Please note that if you change the Platform string, PDA-friendly sites may stop sending you PDA-friendly content automatically. Leave this string set to "Windows CE" unless a site absolutely refuses to work, or you want the site to feed you its normal content.
Change the location of 'Temporary Internet Files'
When browsing the web, pages and images are saved in the 'Temporary Internet Files' location. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Storage Card\cacheie" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To return to the original location:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\Cache = "\Windows\Profiles\guest\Temporary Internet Files" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Change the display of the clock in the taskbar
The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'
Change the Short Date Format
Applications may call upon the system to provide a 'short date format'. One such application is the Date/Time display in the taskbar, if set to show the date. To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" (example):
HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte = "ddd/d " (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note 1: For more information on date/time formatting strings, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...vbenlr98/html/vafmtuserdefineddateformats.asp
Note 2: All applications using the short date format will be affected by this change. Choose wisely
Disable the security warning when installing non-certified application
To disable the security warning when installing a non-certfied application, set:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To restore the warnings:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this makes it easier for any malware to install itself
Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created
Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
Disable 3gp (video) size limit
To disable the 3gp (video recording format) size limit:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3\EnableLimit = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To re-enable:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3\EnableLimit = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Add GPS settings icon
If you have a GPS device, you can add a GPS settings icon to your Start > Settings menu using:
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\redirect <-- delete, or rename, this value
Note that '2' stands for the Connections tab, '1' is System and '0' would be Personal
Note also that this has reportedly disabled one person's USB connectivity. To restore, set "GPS Program Port = None", "GPS Connection Port = None", "Automatic GPS Management = on"
Add Lunar Calendar mode to Calendar
You can add a Lunar Calendar mode to the Calendar view, showing a 'Month' view with the Lunar months/days.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowLunarCalendar = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to disable again:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowLunarCalendar = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Change location of ringtones
You can change the location where WM5 will look for ringtones by adjusting the following key (example given is for ringtones placed on the Storage Card root folder)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sound\Categories\Ring\Directory = "\Storage Card\" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The default location may be "\Windows\" or "\Windows\Rings\" depending on your Device provider
Change slide-out keyboard layout
If you have a Device from one country, but would like to use the keyboard layout of another, you can change the keyboard's language setting to do so...
For US layout (QWERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1033 (DWORD decimal)
For German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1031 (DWORD decimal)
For French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1036 (DWORD decimal)
For other codes, see: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
Show Edge network indicator instead of GPRS
If your network provider supports the Edge network (and your device does as well), you can use the following to show a little 'E' icon instead of 'G' icon when connected to an Edge network:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableDifferGprsEdgeIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that your device -and- your network operator need to support Edge, otherwise you won't see it. Also note that if you connect to GPRS, you will still see the 'G' icon.
Make reminders show only once
By default, reminders will keep bugging you for 2 minutes. You can change this to zero minutes by adjusting this value:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins = 0 (DWORD decimanl)
Note that you can set this to any value you like. Alternative to setting this value to zero is to delete the '?AutoSnooze' key altogether
Remove operator skin from Phone app
If your device's Phone app is skinned, you can remove by setting:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Similarly, you can restore it with:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 1 (DWORD decimal)
En/Disable receiving of files over BlueTooth/IrDA
If you want to prevent receiving files over BlueTooth or IrDA, you can set the following value:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to (re-)enable:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled = 1 (DWORD decimal)
GPRS always on
If you want your GPRS (or EDGE) connection to always be on, set the following:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to turn it off:
HKLM\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\|gprs connection name|\AlwaysOn = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that |gprs connection name| will depend on the name you've given your GPRS connection
Hide/Show Screen orientation icon
If you wish to hide the Screen orientation icon, shown in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 0 (DWORD decimal)
If this doesn't work, you can try:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all.
Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar
If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe"._
_Note also that this reportedly does not work on AKU2 ROMs to remove the new battery indicator
Show slide-out keyboard caps/dot icon next to SIP
If your device contains a file called "capnotify.exe", try running it (most devices that have it will already have it in the Windows\StartUp\ folder), and setting the following value to get a visual presentation of whether you are in caps or dot (alternate key function) mode:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\EnableIndicator = 1
Please note that if your device has no external keyboard with caps/dot mode, you won't gain anything from this tweak
Please also note that the application "?CapNotify.exe" must be running (normally found in \Windows\?StartUp\ already) for this to work
Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
Change the keyboard backlight duration
To change the duration of the keyboard backlight, you can set (example is 30 seconds):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that this may not work on some devices. One such notable exception is the HTC Wizard.
Disable the SMS Sent notification
If you're tired of the "Message Sent" notification after sending an SMS/text message, you can disable them:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that the 'Settings' key may not exist in your device, and thus may have to be created first.
Change the SMS Sent notification text
If you just want the "Message Sent" notification to read something different, adjust the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\MessageSent = "Message Sent" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Always require SMS Delivery notification
If you always want an SMS Delivery notification (see note below!), and are tired of ticking the 'Request message delivery notification' checkbox, set:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: Delivery notifications will depend on your and the recipient's operator network capabilities! Note 2: You can still override this with the regular checkbox.
Set default SIP
The default SIP on practically every device is the Keyboard. You may prefer entry with a different SIP. If so, you can set this to be the default SIP through:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\DefaultIM = |SIP ClassID|
The |SIP ClassID| will depend on the SIP's ClassID, which may vary per-device. You can find the correct ClassID by searching for "IsSIPInputMethod" in HKCR, then going to the top key and checking the name of the SIP that's in the (Default) value.
Please note that this doesn't work with all SIPs. Transcriber/Calligrapher are two examples of this.
You can, however, set Transcriber as the default SIP by starting Transcriber.exe on startup. (This should be moved to, or added to, non-registry Tweaks page)
WARNING: Do not assume that the below ClassIDs would be -as found- on your device! Setting it to a non-existant SIP may prevent your device from booting up!
The following are some of the ClassIDs typically found:
Typical pre-installed:

{4345EA53-B8A5-4E24-A14A-F7C34DD78077} = WordLogic
Add/remove items from the SIP list
If you have a few items in your SIP list which you don't use, they can be removed from the list by setting the IsSIPInputMethod for each item you want removed. To remove the SIP from the list, replace the $SIP_CLSID$ in the example below with a CLSID from the Set default SIP tweak.:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\$SIP_CLSID$\IsSIPInputMethod\(Default) = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To add it back to the list:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\$SIP_CLSID$\IsSIPInputMethod\(Default) = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Put custom text on bottom-right of Today screen
You can set some piece of text on the bottom-right of the Today Screen by setting the following key:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta\Today = "Hello World" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Please note that this text won't take up Today item text. It will be obscured by Today items.
Navigate PIE up/down with the four-way pad
By default, PIE uses the four-way pad's up/down buttons to jump between hyperlinks and form fields. You can set it up to page up/down instead by setting:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable hyperlink/form field navigation:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that you may still jump between links using Tab and Shift-Tab if your Device has a built-in hardware keyboard.
Navigate PIE up/down with any key
You can change the keys used by IE for page up/page down browsing by creating keys linked to these controls:
Page Up:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\|key code| = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Page Down
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\|key code| = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Where |key code| is the code of the key pressed. For example, if your Device has a phone pad on the front, you may prefer to use the '2' key (keycode 50) for page up, and the '8' key (keycode 56) for page down, leaving the four-way pad to browse links:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\50 = 1 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\KeyMaps\56 = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Disable charging over USB
If your device can charge over USB, you can probably disable this feature by setting:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to re-enable:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Show Calendar event text in Week View
If you wish to see a Calendar event's text in the Week View, set the following:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekView = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable it again:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowTextInWeekView = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that your event must have long enough a duration to show the event text, and the week view (with its narrow columns) truncates long words easily
Also note that the key "Calendar" may not exist - just create it if it doesn't
Change Calendar 'working days'
If you wish to change the 'working days' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For a Mon-Fri workweek (default):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For a Mon-Sat workweek:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2210007E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For a Tue-Thu workweek:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 22100016 (DWORD hexadecimal)
Here's how this works. When editing the value, switch to "Binary" mode. For the default Mon-Fri, you should see:
100010000100000000000000111110
The last 7 numbers are what we're interested in. They stand for the days of the week, in reverse order: Saturday, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Monday, Sunday. When the number is "1", it is a working day. If it is "0", it's not a working day. So to look at the above examples again:
Days : SFTWTMS
Mon-Fri: 0111110
Mon-Sat: 1111110
Tue-Thu: 0011100
Using the above, you should be able to set the working days to whatever you'd like.
Note that this value also adjusts the working HOURS. The examples here all use the default 8am-5pm workday. See the "Change Calendar 'working hours'" tweak to modify this.
Note that the ActiveTimes key and value may not exist. Simply create them first.
Change Calendar 'working hours'
If you wish to change the 'working hours' in the calendar, adjust the following:
For 8am-5pm (default):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2210003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For 9am-5pm:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2212003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
For 2pm-10pm:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ActiveTimes\ActiveTimes = 2C1C003E (DWORD hexadecimal)
Here's how this works.
The first 2 characters define the ending hour as a count of half hours since midnight, in hexadecimal. So for midnight, it would be 0 half hours in hexadecimal = 0. 5pm is 17 hours, or 34 half hours. 34 in hexadecimal is 22. 10pm is 22 hours, or 44 half hours. 44 in hexadecimal is 2C. You can use a calculator capable of hexadecimal conversions to get the hexadecimal number.
Similarly, the next 2 characters define the starting hour as a count of half hours since midnight, in hexadecimal. So for 8am.. 16 half hours, 16 in hexadecimal is 10. 9am = 18 half hours = 12. 14h = 28hh = 1C.
Using the above, you should be able to se the working hours to whatever you'd line.
Note that this value also adjusts the working DAYS. The examples here all use the default Mon-Fri workweek. See the "Change Calendar 'working days'" tweak to modify this.
Note that the ActiveTimes key and value may not exist. Simply create them first.
Note that you cannot set the End time earlier than the Start time, for obvious reasons
Note that you cannot set a Midnight end time. The best you can do is 11.30pm (2F)
Show 'busy status' in Calendar Agenda View
To show the "Free"/"Tentative"/"Out of office" states in the Agenda View, set:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowBusyInDescription = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To hide it again:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowBusyInDescription = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that this only appears to affect the 'Agenda' view. No other views, and not the Today Screen item.
Make WM5 ask where to install a program (1)
If you wish to be able to specify whether to install a program on WM5's Main storage, or your Storage Card, regardless of installer setting set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskDest = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that many applications do not support being installed on the Storage Card and may behave unpredictably, including crashing
Make WM5 ask where to install a program (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 ask where to install a program is by adding the "/askdest" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /askdest' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
If you wish to keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Or to restore to the default:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\nDynamicDelete = 2 (DWORD decimal)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (2)
An alternative method of making WM5 keep the original .CAB file around after installing the application is by adding the "/nodelete" option to the Windows CE loader:
HKCR\cabfile\Shell\open\command = 'wceload.exe "%1" /nodelete' (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Make WM5 prompt before overwriting an existing installation
If you wish to make WM5 prompt you before overwriting an existing installation, set:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskOptions = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable again:
HKLM\Software\apps\Microsoft Application Installer\fAskOptions = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Show Tomorrow's Appointments on Calendar Today item
If you wish to see tomorrow's Appointments on the Calendar Today item, set:
If you wish to see today's All Day event as well:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Calendar\Flags = 5 (DWORD decimal)
If you do not wish to see today's All Day event:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Calendar\Flags = 4 (DWORD decimal)
Other values (attainable through the "Options..." dialog for the Calendar Today item just as well):
0 = Show Upcoming Appointments
1 = Show Upcoming Appointments and today's "All Day" event
2 = Show Next Appointment
3 = Show Next Appointment and today's "All Day" event
It works out to the following binary structure:
Default Behavior: Show Upcoming Appointments
000
||'- Show "All Day" events (doesn't show tomorrow's "All Day" events)
|'- Show Next Appointment
'- Show Tomorrow's Appointments
Low Battery warning
By default, a PPC will sound a warning sound when the battery is running low (10%, fixed value), but there's no way to disable or change the notification. To enable this, so that it is visible in the "Sounds & Notifications" control panel, set:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\Default = "Low battery warning" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that the string used can be whatever you like it to be
Replace Left/Right-handed landscape option with single Landscape option
If for some reason you wish to disable the display of left-handed/right-handed in Start > Settings > |System| > Screen, and replace it with a single "Landscape" option, set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeFixed = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To restore, set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeFixed = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that when you set it fixed, you can no longer switch between left-handed/right-handed through Start > Settings > |System| > Screen, only between Portrait and Landscape. If you wish to change the orientation, use an external application or see the Landscape Orientation Tweak.
Change Landscape Orientation
By default, the Landscape Orientation (i.e. what way the screen is rotated when put into Landscape mode) is set either by the manufacturer or through the Screen control panel applet. If you have disabled the left-handed/right-handed orientation (see "Replace Left/Right-handed landscape option with single Landscape option" tweak), you can still change the Landscape orientation through the registry:
Right-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Left-handed:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode = 4 (DWORD decimal)
Please note that a soft reset is required for this to take effect - an external screen rotation utility is recommended over this tweak
Please also note that some devices which change orientation automatically based on e.g. keyboard slide-out may have the orientation hard-wired, and switch to e.g. Left-handed even if you set it to go to Right-handed

AKU2 ROMs tweaks
These are tweaks that have been confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs, and confirmed not to work on earlier ROMs
Show Wireless Today item
By just adding following keys to the registry will get you a nice 'wireless' today item that show Network name/status, WiFi name/status as well as Bluetooth status. Confirmed to work on AKU2 ROMs
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
Add time sync page to Phone Settings
To add a time sync page to your Phone Settings (Start > Settings > Phone > Options > Time Zones) , set the following:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowTimeZonesPage = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to remove again:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowTimeZonesPage = 0 (DWORD decimal)
________________________________________
AKU2.2 ROMs tweaks
These are tweaks that have been confirmed to work on AKU2.2 ROMs, and confirmed not to work on earlier ROMs
Restore Clock on Taskbar when on Today Screen
The AKU2 update brought with them a, arguably lame, battery icon which replaced the Clock. Although the clock can be restored when running applications, it is permanently removed when on the Today Screen. Microsoft have addressed users' concern over this in the AKU2.2 update. You can restore the clock entire by setting the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Microsoft blog entry: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/04/28/586453.aspx
________________________________________
Tweaks that can be done through the normal user interface
These are tweaks that can be done through the normal user interface, and thus don't require tweaking the registry in any way, shape or form
Default SMS Delivery Notifications to on
This tweak can be set through: Start > Programs > Messaging*, Menu > Tools > Options... > Text Messages* > [x] Request delivery notifications
To always have SMS Delivery Notifications enabled:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To disable them (can still enable per-SMS in SMS settings):
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDeliveryNotify = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Note that SMS Delivery Notifications are a network provider option, and the recipient may refuse them to be sent out
Show the clock in all applications
This tweak can be set through: Start > Settings > |System| > Clock & Alarms* > |More| > [x] Display the clock on the title bar in all programs
To show the clock on the titlebar in all applications:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar\LimitedClock = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To hide it again (only visible on Today Screen):
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskBar\LimitedClock = 1 (DWORD decimal)
Note that on AKU2.0 ROMs, it is not possible to show the clock on the taskbar when on the Today Screen at all. This was adjusted by Microsoft for AKU2.2. Pre-AKU2.0 ROMs do not suffer from this deficiency.
Tweaks that work in WM2003, but do not work on WM5
Please put depricated or debunked tweaks here, so they are not reinstated by some other well-meaning person later. Of course, please provide corroberation of your change.
Enable Realtime Memory Defragmenting (or something.)
There isn't any concise description of this tweak, but it appears to free up some memory if nothing else.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\NeverDorkMemory
Note that you should only create the key; this is not a value! See here: http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/index.php?action=expand,47926
wow! a lot of nice settings!
but i can't find something to disable the LED in Standby.
There is one similar point:
---
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events
---
but this is only for events and not for the green flashing, or isn't it?
Take a look a little bit in the middle and you can read: Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics

Date and Time on Task BAR?!?

hey guys, i used this:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Change the display of the clock in the taskbar
The clock in the taskbar can be changed to show not only the time, but also the date, or just the date, or nothing at all.
To show nothing:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 0 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show just the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
Note 1: If you switch to the Analog clock display, the date will remain visible -through- the Analog clock
Note 2: Setting the clock to show 'nothing' will still keep the reserved space, showing the taskbar background, and obscure any icons that will shift to the right.
Note 3: Your date may get obscured by the space reserved for the OK/Close button in the top-right. You can fix this my adding spaces at the end of your 'Short Date Format'. See also the tweak on 'Change the Short Date Format'
---------------------------------------------------------
BUT it doesn't work. I have the new 2.23 aku rom. Can anyone help?
After you change your registry.
Switch your unit off/on (preferably let it be still for 2-3 minutes)
And perform a soft reset. It should work.
If it doesn't, go back into your registry and check if the values are still there (e.g. if the values have been changed back to the original state). If that's the case, you ought to wait a bit longer. WM5 tend to delay the write into the registry.

RAW image/Adobe issue.

Every one of the RAW images I've taken with this device, regardless of the camera app, produces a dark line on the far right when viewed in Lightroom and Photoshop. Anyone else experience this? I've tried more than one manual camera app with the same result, but it does seem that the Snapseed app can see and edit the DNG on the phone without the green line present. Leads me to believe this is some kind of issue with Adobe so just wondered if anyone else had encountered it. I also tried disabling any import presets but that didn't change anything. Have a look at the attached samples to see what I mean.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

}
I have encountered it, but I have not tried to fix it. Sorry.
I am also not convinced it is an Adobe issue. Open some of the DNGs in explorer, they should be around 25 megabytes give or take. But I often see them as low as 2 kilobyes, obviously that isn't right so there must be something else along the chain wrong.

Ok I don't seem to be having that issue luckily. But as a further test I downloaded a simple Windows conversion utility last night and used it to convert one of the DNG files to JPG and it worked fine. I mean, the colours and general processing were absolute crap, but there was no dark line so whatever problem I'm having certainly doesn't appear to be with the RAW file from the 6P. And as I said, Snapseed edits them without a problem.
After work today I'll post in the Adobe support forums and see if I get any information there.

Sure, try these. Just ran a few more tests and it seems Snapseed is in fact picking up the dark band. BUT, when I shoot either the standard camera app or output to JPG in the manual apps the resulting images do NOT show the dark band. Seems to be a problem that only occurs when the device saves the RAW file.

The Problem is the Active Area DNG Tag the darker area should not be visible somehow Active Area Tag is conflicting with Default crop size tag http://www.barrypearson.co.uk/articles/dng/specification.htm. dcraw based apps seem to use active area tag and ignore the default crop tag so the band is not visible

when opening nexus 6 dng in PS /LR the image res is 4200 x 3112 but on dcraw based apps res is 4208 x 3120 now had moto added Active area tag i believe there would have been a dark area on pixels that go past 4200.
on lightroom pc DNG Recover Edge plugin should make it go away .
it would be interseting to see how the header of a 5x or 6p without that issue looks like

Very interesting, thanks for that. I'll look into that plugin for sure. So I'm assuming the problem lies in the RAW tag generated by the phone, and if that's the case it means it could be fixed with a simple software patch, correct? Just trying to get my info straight so I can submit a bug report to Google. (Bit embarrassed to admit that I'm a photographer by profession yet know very little about the technical workings of RAW formats )
