Here are some registry tweaks for your Mini
Please make a backup of your REGISTRY and all the other stuff of your PDA before you apply the following tweaks
Install directory to your storage/storage card.
To install your application/program to storage memory or storage card memory. Whenever you are about to install, there will one screen appear to ask you where to install the program. But not to forget to change it back the default value to 0 after the installation or u might encounter weird situation when you want to change your today screen and etc..
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer
Default: 0
Changed: 1
Fast graphic but consume memory
It can fasten and smoothen your OS graphic movement, but it will eat some of your program memory, not that much. You also can change it to 32768 instead of 16384 for greater result.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE
Default: 8192
Changed: 16384
To hide screen rotate icon
There is a small PDA icon at your bottom right corner of your screen to change ur screen orientation from patriot to landscape and other way round. For me, its unnecessary, so you can hide it.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\ScreenRotate
ShowIcon value change to 0
Default: 1
Changed: 0
To turn off flashing LEDs and Vibration
It will turn off the blinking green/red/orange LED and the vibration mode. Some people will irritate by the blinking, especially when you're driving and sleep at night.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\AllLEDMgr
Default: 1
Changed: 0
Enable camera frame rate display
Camera frame rate will appear on the screen when u're using the camera
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\CAMERA\AppDefSettings\General
Default: 0
Changed: 1
To set ur ringstones to run from Storage Card
Place all your downloaded ringtones from internal memory to storage card. Usefull for our small/ciput Mini memory.
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory registry key
Default value: "\Windows\Rings\"
Change it to: "\Storage Card\<your preferred directory>\" (Note that "\" at the end is extremely important!!!)
Place those ringtones into \Storage Card\<your preferred directory>\
Enable hidden editor function in Album
This opens the additional hidden function in the ALBUM, allows u to edit ur photo, brightness, contrast, crop, etc. Album (opens Editor menu):
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Album/Disable Editor
Disable value changed to: 0
SPB Pocket Plus Storage Card Display
If u notice, there is no indicator available to display our storage memory capacity. This will add Storage Card display icon. PLEASE FOLLOW THE STEP CAREFULLY!!
1. Add icon/item Backup Battery Indicator
2. Regedit the key in
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Spb Software House\Pocket Plus\Today Items\Pannels\
3. Find key in directory 00000 or 00001 or 00002 or 00004; that have Name Action with value *backupbattery
4. Change the value to *storagecard
5. Soft reset

This will allow you to take unlimited recording time
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\HTC\camera\AppDefSettings\P3
DWord Value called "EnableLimit", change it from 1 to 0.
To include both time and date in taskbar
You'll get time and short date on your right top of the screen, rather just displaying time. Meaning, you can remove your date item on your today screen.
Code:
Phase 1:
1) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
2) Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
3) Soft-reset

Phase 2: IF U NEED THE CHANGE THE DATE FORMAT:
i) Just go to Settings>Regional Settings>Date>Short Date
ii) Choose "dd-MMMM-yy" or whichever format u prefer.
iii) Click "ok".
Disabling “Message Sent” notification bubble
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:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
3. Next, click on Inbox (make sure the Inbox is highlighted) and select Edit, New Key
4. Name the New Key as "Settings"
5. Click on "Settings" (make sure the Settings is highlighted) and select Edit, New String Value
6. On "Value name:", key in SMSNoSentMsg and in "Value data", key in 1
7. Soft reset your device and test it with one SMS, and you will notice that the SMS Sent bubble is being disabled.
Audio Tweak
Audio Tweak enhances the speaker performance of the O2 Mini (some devices have this set to a lesser priority and by using this you get better sound, if your device is already set to a high level you have no need for this)
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
Default: 110
Changed to: 80
Disable start menu animation
This tweaking will eliminate the list of menu "drop-down animation" if u tab on Start/Flag icon.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\
AniType value change from 6 to 0.
Looping Ringtones Delay
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.
OR change it to
av0pw1r = wait for 1 sec
av0pw2r = wait for 2 sec
and so on...
Plus..heres the code
a - stands for display
r - repeat/replay the script again
c - sets the volume C50, c150, c100
f - means flash .. f1 flash for 1 second and f0 stands for flash continuously
p -means play ringtone
v- vibrate then incorporate with number to state how many seconds it will vibrate example. v3 vibrate for 3seconds or v0 for continous
w - stands for wait or pause then specify how many seconds like w3(wait for 3 seconds)
heres the example
Flash - af1w60f0
Ring - apw3r
Ring Once - ap
Increasing Ring - c50apw3c150r
Vibrate Then Ring - v3w3apw3r
Vibrate - av3w3r
Short Vibrate - av1w3r
Vibrate Long Then Ring - v3w3v3w3apw3r
Vibrate And Ring - av0pw3r
Increasing Ring And Vibrate - c50apv3w3c150r
Fast Vibrate And Flash - af1v1w1f0r
Vibrate and Ring Continously without pausing - av0pr
SMS Notification On
This is different with message notification send, this will confirm you when message already recieve by receiver
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
SMSDeliveryNotify = dword:00000001 ->0 if off
How to:
Create new Dword value name SMSDeliveryNotify
with decimal value data 1
Wacth for capital letter
Changing the Message Sent Notification Message
Change the default "MessageSent". Example "Pesan sudah di kirim"
Code:
[c\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS]
Change the Value "MessageSent" to whatever you like.
Change the default input method
To change your input method, keyboard, letter recognizer, block recognizer as ur default, even you soft reset ur mini.
NOTE:
*for English ROM
*cannot set transcriber and Phatware Calligrapher with this trick.
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip
Change the "DefaultIm" value for:
To set keyboard as default SIP, change the "DefaultIm to
{42429667-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
To set Character Recognizer as default SIP, change the "DefaultIm to
{42429690-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
To set Block Recognizer as default SIP, change the "DefaultIm to
{42429691-ae04-11d0-a4f8-00aa00a749b9}
*change only the bold number will do. The rest are totally the same.
To set WordLogic as default SIP, change the "DefaultIm to
{4345EA53-B8A5-4E24-A14A-F7C34DD78077}
*No WordLogic in Xda O2 mini.
To Get The AM/PM on The Top Bar
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
1. Creat new String value with Name = S1159 & Data = Am
2. Creat new String value with name = S2359 & data = Pm
3. Creat new String value with name = STFmt & data = h:mm tM
- capital letters and small letters must be followed exactly or it may cause hard resets!
- you will get capital "AM/PM" on the top bar eventhough the registry data value above was entered as "Am/Pm"
Change The Date on The Top Bar
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
Look for String value SSDte (short date) and change the value data, some example of date formats i have used below:
- "7 May 05, Friday" by changing the String value SSDte data = d MMMM yy, dddd
- "07/05/2005, Fri" by changing String value SSDte data = dd/MM/yyyy, ddd
Clear Type on LandscapeDisplay
You'll get clear type font in landscape mode. made me dizzy though..not much functionality value..just some fun factor for us curious ones.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSetting
1. Change value data of OffOnRotation from 1 to 0
2. Soft reset
Setting Cleartype Text in PIE
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"ClearTypeText"<- Set 1 to Enable Cleartype in PIE, 0 to Disable
Setting ClearType Text in Pocket PC
Optionally, you can go to START>SETTINGS>SYSTEMS>SCREEN>CLEARTYPE
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI
Create a Subkey then Name it "CLEARTYPE"
Settings Screen Text Size
Optionally, you can go to START>SETTINGS>SYSTEMS>SCREEN>TEXT SIZE
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\96DPI
"CurFont"= change to the ff value ..
dword:00000258 -> Smallest
dword:000002BC -> Smaller
dword:00000320 -> Normal/Default
dword:000003E8 -> Larger
dword:0000044C -> Largest
Thanks to [email protected] for the original post.
I have not tested all of these tweaks on my Mini. Please let me know if any of them are not working, or if you have any of your own tweaks which are not listed :roll:

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.

guys, would you kindly guide me how to make change the registry? I've download the Total Commander (I've heard to make chabge the registry we need to install this program), but after Ive install the Total Commander, what next?
In Windows xp, to change the registry I only enter 'regedit' from start menu -> then Run, so how to enter the registry menu in the WM2003
(by the way I use the O2 mini)
many thanks for your guide.

As I know, in the Registry
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Medium
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Small
I am able to change the factory FrameRate value from 10 to 19...
This is good news
Well, the Medium size is 176x144 pixel and Small size is 128x96 pixel by default.
But!
There is another Key :
Hkey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\RecParam\MP4Large, but I am not able to select Large option in the Camera Settings page, just only Small and Medium.
What shell I have to change in the Registry to make Large videosize available in the Camera Settings page ?
(And what dimension should I use by selecting Large ? 320x240 ?)

You can not. there is no 320X240 in Charmer's Video Camera application.
But you can use "CoolCamera" for even 640X480 in video mode.

hi guys!
browsing through the registry entries of the HD i found the folowing:
1. HKLM\software\HTC\camera\captparam\capture timer = 5000
2. HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general\macromode = 0
would it be possible to change those values in order to get faster shutter response (for 1st option) and enabling macromode (for 2nd option)
i've changed the values
capture timer = 50
macromode = 1
and nothing happened
but, maybe, someone with more skills can made a tweak out of these to get some improvements of the camera.
what do you think?
By simply changing the brightness level to -2.0 you will no longer have a blur - it's like changing the ISO on a camera and the FPS will jump by over 50%. check it out in full here: http://www.fuzemobility.com/decrease-the-blur-of-your-camera-really/

Sounds excellent, will try this out!!
EDIT
I have tried this and can find no improvement whatsoever. As kkchan stated below, all I notice is the picture has become darker due to the decrease in brightness level. I have even tried this at -1.0, but still no improvement
Hi,
I tried, no improvement, sometime seem even worst because the photo become darker.

I did it myself on a Touch HD and went from +2 and changed it to -2 and it was a world of difference. At +2 any movement was a blur and at -2 I could move the camera and still get a clean shot

In extreme light situtations (a bright day) there's almost no difference in speed but the HD never had a problem in very high light. The real impact is in moderate to low light. So far there are 2 comments at FuzeMobility both stating that it works effectively and I tested it last night on the HD and took an unusable camera and had something that could take a photo. Did you guys enable the FPS info to see if there was a change?

I had already tried tweaking a number of settings for both the camera & video to get a better pic. This may have had some effect on these new settings. I will play around with it and see what I come up with

What settings if you don't mind? I'm always up for more tweaking I know about decreasing the delay times:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/Captparam/ and set CaptureTimer = 0 and EnableCapKeyDelay = 0 and CapKeyDelayTime = 0
and changing the panaramic photo size...I hope you have a few more though

Basically I read through a lot of threads regarding enhancing camera and have changed numerous things including those mentioned by yourself, some I can't remember to be honest and those mentioned in the wiki listed below. Also using HD Tweak etc
Increase Quality of Photos
To increase the quality of photos, open the Camera, go to Settings, Advanced, then Image Properties. Increase Contrast to 5, Saturation to 5, and Sharpness to 4. Now you will have better definition and much more realistic colours. Also don't forget to choose Super Fine under Quality in Advanced Settings menu.
Reduce Blurriness in Photos
To focus better, have shutter set just to Touch. After you have touched you have the whole three seconds to steady your hand and take a non-blurry photo.
Activate Hidden Photo Modes
You can activate hidden photo modes using the 'HD Tweak' app. Make sure to leave the resolutions for these modes at 1 megapixel though or they may not work properly. For for the more advanced users, use the following reg entries:
To enable Burst mode
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P6
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Sports mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P8
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable Video Share mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9
set "Enable" on "1"
To enable GPS Photo mode:
Mobile Device\HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10
set "Enable" on "1"
Get True 5 Mega pixel Resolution When Using Camera
To get 5MP instead of 4MP resolution when using your camera, you must switch off Widescreen mode in the 'Advanced' Menu.
Normal screen = 2592 x 1944 pixels = 5,038,848 pixels = 5MP
Widescreen = 2592 x 1552 pixels = 4,022,784 pixels = 4MP
Get Better Video Quality When Using Camera
Use MPEG format instead of H.263 for better quality video output. This option can be found by going to the Advanced Setting from the Video Settings menu. Once there, go to Capture Format and change format if necessary.
If I can think of any more I'll let you know.

Unfortunately I know about those Thank you though - I'm sure a lot of people will benefit from that list. The ability to do infinite zoom is still elusive as far as I know...
