Problem by skTools

Hallo, i installed SkTools and Changed in the SystemTweaks Window the "Phone ring sound files" Path. The default was "\Windows\" but now i can only create folders with "...\rings\" , like "\windows\rings\" or just "\rings" .
The problem is i can't choose a incomming call ringtone.
Could anybody tell me the RegPath, that i can fix the problem?
Thanks a lot!!!

Date Format

How do I change this? Had a look in settings, within the Time & Date menu....
At the moment, the format is American - ie, 02/07/10 (Feb 7th 2010), I want it UK style, 07/02/10

Hi,
change format with registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"IDate"=dword:00000001
"ITime"=dword:00000001
"SSDte"="dd MMM yyyy"
"STFmt"="HH:mm:ss"
"SLDte"="dddd, dd MMM yyyy"
"STime"=":"
with friendly greet
starbase64

settings menu all settings system regional settings.
no need to touch the registry.

[SOLVED] Cooking Reg Tweaks: Some Keys Rom Does Not Work

I've spent the entire day trying to get this to work. For the most part I've gotten it mostly to work, but still can't understand why it doesn't work fully.
So in my custom rom, I created/imported a package called ZZ_MyPackageCustomization. All that is in there is an "app.reg" where I have my registry tweaks to apply / overwrite.
To my understanding from what I've read on other forums, this is the method that makes the most sense to me and is easiest. The rom is flashed, and my custom package gets run last applying and overwriting the reg.
Some of the reg tweaks work. Some don't. Below is what I have in my app.reg (spaced so you can see each section).
The first two sections work fine; first hiding Sense tabs, second changing my long end key press to set phone to vibrate.
the next two sections don't work: one removing all quicklinks in my Sense to blank, and the next setting the default volume for both system and ringer to max.
Any advice would be nice. Thanks!
I am using OSKitchen Zero.

Some are working and some not you say? You better try using provxml's instead.
You are right, your package is probably executet as last. But all provxml's are executed after REG/RGU and it seems that some tweaks get overwritten by a random provxml.
There are easy tools like rgu-2-xml-v2 (attached) to do that.

Rgu-2-xml-v2 is pretty bad tool for me as provxml files generated by it are useless, they have lots of errors. Even if you use this tool, you'll still have to fix broken lines on your own but using provxml is best choice.

OK, didn't now that. Do you have another tool that is better?
Anyway, provxml's should help avoiding this problem, right?

Your reg keys are being over-written by provxml's. Don't create more provxml's to over-write others; that's just a band-aid, and it slows down boot-up a ton. Find the provxml (probably an oem), edit it (or better, delete the entries in the provxml and leave them in the app.dat for faster 1st boot), then put the edited provxml in your zzz-ext and have it over-write the stock one during cooking. Leave the stock one alone in case you eff up.
Just look through the provxml's in your dump or using the provxml editor in your kitchen.
Edit: Also, check your build-log to see if there are any parsing errors. Depending on how you dump reg keys, sometimes they won't parse. I run into trouble when I use total commander occasionally. It will eff up paths. Sometimes, you'll need as many as 5 \'s at a time, and total commander won't get them all, whereas dotfred's task manager always dumps them properly. You can also use ceregeditor (or mregedit) to look in the .hv files in your dump to see if your reg keys are at least being built into the hives

Awesome guys! now that I know provxml's also cause tweaks into the reg, I did a search for all provxml's and manually went through each one to look for the Manila quicklinks issue, and found it as the following in the Operator Pkg in EXT packages:
mxipupdate_oemoperators_102
I am trying not to edit anything stock and just apply my customizations afterwards, so I will try the provxml first in my custom package. if that doesn't work than I will be forced to edit the original provxml.
Thanks so much!

unfortunately, my own provxml did not work at all for any of the reg tweaks. it was named "app.reg.provxml" so maybe the duplicate period might have caused a problem. or maybe the manner of import caused it to not work; all I did was place the provxml file into my custom package folder, and took out the "app.reg" and cooked.
comparing the mark up language to the stock, and it looks like it was converted fine by reg2xml2.
will edit the stock to see what happens.

I said screw it, edit the original provxml. that totally got it working!
as for the volume reg, I troubleshooted it by making a cab of the reg tweak, and that didn't work either. I guess you can't edit the volume by reg in this manner, or I'm targeting the wrong key.
Thanks to all, this is officially solved in my book.

Good that you fixed . And editing original provxml is best choice as you don't duplicated keys and other errors .
Forgot to add, when you make your own provxml file, you need a little different name than "app.reg.provxml", for example "mxip_tweaks.provxml" .

[Solved] How to edit the quick link Icons sense 2.5

When I use oskitchen I can successfully build a rom with 6.5.5 and sense 2_5_2012. The rom compiles and builds successfully, I then rom'd the image on to my HD2 which also worked fine.
One thing I did notice, when I first turned on the phone there was three icons in the quick links. How do I remove these? The three links are: Camera, Market Place, and You tube.
Any assistance would be appreciated
Ta!
**Thanks guys, I have now been able to find the reg files after disabling the security on my laptop. I have now successfully built a stable ROM WIN - 23569 with Sense 2016 - Thank you both for your help!**

You look in your manila Home or Core reg.

Hi,
I have tried searching but cant find anyting refrencing the 3 quick links. Anybody got any futher suggestions?

I found the reg keys for the quick links. Created a cab which removes them. Installed the cab and it worked ok. I then cooked the cab in my rom but it did not remove the links.

Maybe sense has to full loaded before you can change the reg entries via cab.
Change the entries in your kitchen and leave them blank.

Yes those were the registery keys I have found. I agree that sense seems to need to be fully loaded when you install the file. How do I edit the registery before I cook the rom? I am using osKitchen 1.30

Hi, in your manila/home, you have a app.reg, edit and search this:

Do the same in rgu file, if you have one in same dir.

Hi,
I have done a search in my kitchen folder and cant find any app.reg files. Thats what I was looking for, but there arn't any there.

sometimes they aren't visible, you must use a editor like total commander to see all files, but you can do this, whith you notepad, go to directory manila/home and write app.reg
Or if you use VK, just edit seaching all app.reg.

Ok, I am happy I know how to create a registery file. Just to confim I am putting it in the correct folder, I can see the following path: c:\kitchen\sources\devices\htc leo\ext packages\packages_htc leo\Manila_Home_2_5_20161714_0\ - inside this there are a series of numbered folders assuming this is language folders eg 0408 and 0409. There is also then a folder called "files" - Do I put the reg file in here?
Sorry to be a pain but I have only been cooking for a week and still completly new to all this

You don't need to create new reg file because the reg file already exists in c:\kitchen\sources\devices\htc leo\ext packages\packages_htc leo\Manila_Home_2_5_20161714_0\app.reg

I have had a look. I am using the wvga version of sense 2.16, it does not have any reg files at all. I then had a look at the vga version and it does have the reg file, very odd!

Yo...it's caused on that wvga packages are dumped from an original rom and by default the .reg's, .rgu's, .dsm's and so on are invisible in win-explorer and write-protected. In vga port the files are allready modified and due to that they are visible and file-protection is disabled.
Simply load total commander, install it and in settings make unvisible files visible and disable write-protection...that's all!
