HOpe for speedy reply!
Cheers,
b.u.m.p!
more detail..
"it crashes".... how? does it hang at boot, freeze on home screen, what? we arent psychic
why would you need to unhide files to edit the registry? how are you applying the tweak?

alright. After did the tweaks with Resco Registry Editor. You have to soft reset them in order to take effect right? I did just that and just right after phone trying to load HTC sense, it doesn't make it through. the only button I can press was contact, phone, battery icon, signal icon. that's it. Not even the START button works. Message appeared on the screen was "Unable to locate "poutlook"...."
Oh one more thing. Do we need to wait for several minutes after we've done the registry tweaks before soft reset, ? will this prevent from

I have a strange behaviour of my P3600.
I tried some tricks, using either Total Commander or PHM regedit, for instance to display both time and date on the upper right corner.
I make the changes but after doing a soft reset (button at the bottom near usb & IR), nothing happens...
and actually when I check the registry, my modifications just disappeared !?
does anybody experiments the same problem? any solution?
thx for any help
I've experienced this once after editing registry with Resco Reg Editor. After several times of trying, I realised I had to exit out of the application, i.e. shut it down completely not just minimising it, before the new settings are saved.
Again, thats with Resco, not sure about other reg edit apps, may have a similar issue, you never know.
Hope that helps.
Great it seems to work !
thanks a lot
It happens with TyTn too.

It happens with TyTn too. So it's kind of how the RegEdit programs write the Registry when exiting. I was surprised at first, but noticed you have to try several times.....
Buggy but it works.
When I open Programs I always have an shortcut named: "Fun & Info".
I know it's a shortcut to the file: stk_uippc.exe
Is there any way to get rid of this icon? I don't mind that the file keeps existing in the Windows directory.
I tried delete the shortcut but it keeps coming back after a soft reset.
Think I've found it myself, but I wanted to share it with my fellow forum members
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\STK_Service]
"Keep"=dword:00000001
Changed to:
"Keep"=dword:00000000
That's all!
Thanks for the info, but after changing it in the registry my phone starts up very slow than before. It takes about 2,5 times longer, about 4 minutes. (After I shut it down and switch it on again, or when using a soft reset)
If I change it back again in the registry to "1" (Decimal) my phone starts up at normal speed..... (about 1,5 minutes)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
On WM6 I've noticed that it doesn't change no matter what value I set in the regsitry.
I've tested it and it works perfect for me:
Just delete the complete "STK_Service" key. After this I soft reset my phone. Make sure you have removed the STK Shortcut of course
If you want to restore the key I suggest you export the key before deleting it!
Thanks for the fast reply. Just tried and it works.
Btw, do you know how to get Fring working with Orange world / proxy?
I can't get past the initial registration due to the message: internet connection is not available.
I can use IE and browse the internet with no problems.
Sorry if it's not the right topic to post the question.
Indeed a bit off topic.. ..try searching the forum

Works much better than the build in search.

Hi guys, I've tried editing my registry with regards to the A2DP issue with several softwares. Unfortunately, after rebooting the Trin (reset @ bottom of device), all changes I make seem to have disappeared.
I've used both Total commander and PHM as registry editor on the device itself and MobileRegistryEditor as a remote registry editor.
With the onboard reg editors I can make keys and add values but after reboot the entries have gone.
With the remote reg editor I can browse the reg without problems but get an access denied message when I attempt to edit anything...
For some reason or other I was able to add a MinSupportedBitPool setting one time. Don't know what was different that time around though.
Deleting keys also works as they stay gone once deleted.
It's just adding the keys that is making me go mad!!!

Thx ww2250, I didn't know this...
I had discovered meanwhile that if I used the reset option in the Trinityhacks app, I could make the changes stick, so this soft reset would be similar to holding down the power button apparantly.
Thx again
Yes indeed if you are doing a software reset, it will stick - the OS will flush the registry before restarting.
(If I knew how I would have opened an account to receive your donations)
The tweak is: change one of the bottom hardware keys to soft-reset.
I used long_send.lnk to link for an .exe file that soft reset the device.
In the last week this tweak saved me about 3-4 times from opening the back cover to press the red soft reset button (usually when the device hangs, it's really just the screen, the hardware keys still work).
Knowing that the soft reset button is the most important button in any WM device, I wonder how HTC hasn't thought about it themeselves...

I installed the reset and wifi cab off the cabs thread (in my sig). That creates a shortcut for wifi toggling and resetting the device. I've just got both of them in the quicklinks, so it's on my homepage all the time.

When the screen is unresponsive, your quicklinks are worthless. The power of my tweak is that it allows you to soft-reset using the hardware keys which usually stay responsive even when the screen hangs.

And when those keys are unresponsive then that method is useless. There's no perfect replacement for taking the back off.
Can you give a link to the soft reset exe file that you're using? A copy of your long_send.lnk would also be great.

True. Still, in the last week my device hang 3-4 times, I could not use the soft-reset quicklink, simply because the screen was unresponsive. When I pressed long send the device reset.
When the screen is responsive, the hardware keys are always responsive, but not vice versa.
Surely the "#1 Killer Tweak" would be to make it more stable so it doesnt need a soft reset!
just my tuppence worth

sorry how is this a new tweak?
I'm lost...
it's been posted many many times..
long_press.lnk isn't that good a way of doing it btw.
It's better to use the reg setting. :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C6]
@="\"\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\softreset.lnk\""
"WndCls"=""
"BtnWnd"=dword:00000000
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"ResetCmd"=""
"Name"="Button 1(Hold)"
obviously you need a softreset.lnk pointed in the start menu pointing to the exe

Here are the instructions:
1. Download the soft-reset files from here:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/Shubaroo-Soft-Reset-56815.shtml
This is a zip file that contains two files. Put the file named "SoftResetARM.exe" on your Storage Card root directory.
2. Download the attached Long_Send.txt.
3. Change Long_Send.txt to Long_Send.lnk (I simply couldn't attach a lnk file)
4. Put the Long_Send.lnk file in the device's Windows folder.
That's it, a long press on the hardware send-key will soft-reset the device.

We'll hopefully get this tweak near the end of the year, it even has a name: "Windows Mobile 7".

Do you have to create this key? I got as far as /shell/ but couldn't find /Keys/
Maybe better rename the thread title to: "Add softreset function to one of the hardware buttons" I expected the phone to do more than it already did
Decided to do a Registry restore after having some issues with the phone. I used PHM Registry Editor and after the restore was done i was asked to do a reboot. After doing this the phone freezes on startup. I get the background, taskbar on the top, and the lines saying "Phone" and "Contacts" on the bottom, but thats it.
The keys also light up when i press them.
Any idea what to do? If all else fails i will do a hardreset, but thats the last option.
Thnx
