Windows Mobile Tweaks

Beschreibung

I started a hints and tips thread a while ago for the Blackstone. Now I have a HD2 I thought I would start a new tips thread here. The purpose of this thread is to collate all tips and have them available within the first few posts as opposed to having to search for tips among the many pages and threads. Please submit any tips you have and I will update the first few posts. Not all new HD2 owners would have owned a Blackstone before so I will include some basic tips from the Blackstone thread. Together we can get the most out of our wonderful phone. BTW, I am no way claiming credit for all the following tweaks. A few I have discovered myself (I love to browse the registry) and the majority have been suggested or found from other sources on the net. I apologise for not thanking or crediting everyone who supplied a cab file on xda, but thank you! These tips will also work with the US TMobile version.

Note for users new to Windows Mobile you will need a registry editor to find and edit files beginning with either HKCU or HKLM and a file editor that can unhide system files. Resco supply both apps and are recommended but are not the only apps out there. All registry entries are in red. HKCU is short for HKEY_CURRENT USER and HKLM is short for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

You can find a lot of cab files to install of the below tweaks here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415

Tweaks

Enable Hidden Default Games

Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed.

Enable Website Thumbnails When Navigating Back in Opera

Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Info and change EnableVisualBack from 0 to 1. Press back key and use gestures to go back pages.

Enable NaviPanel Without Owning the Car Kit/Navigation Dock

Go to Windows folder and copy NaviPanel.exe as a shortcut to Windows\Start Menu folder.

Get the old Task Manager Back

To be able to really close programs using the X instead of just 'minimizing' the program and leaving it in memory, install Duttys HTC Task Manager (attached below), restart and the X is back. Also in Settings you can configure its function.

Add Task Manager to Home Screen Quick Links

Copy the hidden TaskMgr.lnk file from your Windows folder to your Start Menu/Programs folder. Now it's possible to place a shortcut on your Manila today and you can open/close running programs with ease.

Change the Language of HTC Sense

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\MUI\CurLang and change the value 409 to 408 (Hex) (for example Greek) or try another value for your language. You can find all Windows Locale Codes here: http://www.science.co.il/Language/Locale-Codes.asp Please read this thread before changing language: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583878

Using the Back Key in Opera

You can use the actual back key at the bottom of your phone to go back a web page or two in Opera, instead of bringing up the Opera menu and selecting the back arrow.

Exiting Volume Screen

For quick exit of the volume screen, tap anywhere in the dark grey background surrounding the vertical slider button.

Reduce Errors in Typing

In Input options, disable the number of words to show in T9 for less mistakes when typing and thus faster entry.

Install Compact Net Framework 3.5 to Make Old Apps Work Again

Some apps you may have used on another phone will not work on the Leo unless you install Compact Net Framework to your phone. Download the cab from the following link and install to Device only - not Storage Card and then reset. http://tinyurl.com/38thahw Also make sure your phone is using the 3.5 as default and not 2.0. Go here: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/.NETCompactFramework. Change the DWORD data of entry 2.0.7045.00 from 1 to 0. Next Change the DWORD data of entry 3.5.7283.00 from 0 to 1 and then reset. This disables 2.0 and enables 3.5. Also some apps need the file NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm. Here is the link to download the file: http://tinyurl.com/35yuc6r Install the NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm.cab to device after you installed NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab and reset.

Activate Hidden Photo Modes

You can activate two hidden photo modes by using the following registry tweaks and then reset:

To enable Video Share mode: Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9 set "Enable" to "1"

To enable GPS Photo mode: Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P10 set "Enable" to "1"

How to Hard Reset your Phone

To hard reset your phone which means to delete ALL personal data and settings and have the phone in factory default conditions as if you turned on the phone for the first time after purchasing, press the following buttons:

You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.

Make sure you back up all your data such as Contacts, Appointments etc or they will be gone forever.

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.

Increase Resolution of Panoramic Photos - NON WORKING

By default, panoramic photos are less than 1 mp. This registry tweak increases resolution to about 7 mp. Go to: HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/P3 Adjust MainCamCaptSize to 1024 and MainCamSupportCaptSize to 1744. Soft reset. Default 1mp is: MainCamCaptSize 64 and MainCamSupportCaptSize 80. Soft reset.

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.

Improve Suggested T9 Dictionary With Custom Words

The Leo has a very useful hidden application in the Windows directory. You need to unhide hidden system and Rom files in order to find it. Find the file "eT9MyWords.exe" in the Windows directory and add a shortcut to this file in your Windows/Start Menu folder.

When in the application, add the most common words you use when using the keypad such as names, locations, user names, email addresses and other words not common in the standard T9 dictionary. For example if you are based in London, UK you could add the following locations:

Leicester, Piccadilly, Tottenham, Soho, Charring, Euston, Trafalgar, Clapham,

and words such as BRB, DVD, coz, lol, xoxo, username@hotmail.com, ciao, etc.

Which Gloves Work With Capacitive Screen

Now winter is approaching it may be a hassel to constantly remove your gloves to touch the screen and USE your phone. Buy yourself a pair of thin leather gloves - unlined or silk lined. The thinner the better. You will find that the screen can still register your fingertips even through the thin leather. If you are male and cannot find thin enough men's gloves, try a larger size in women's gloves. Google "Dent's Extra Soft 3000 gloves" for a pair that definately works with Leo screen. I own them and tested them.

Notice how after every song Audio Booster turns off again? A very simple solution is to press the Home button and not the "Done" softkey. This keeps Audio Booster running.

Add Your Own Album Art to Music Folders

Make sure the image you wish to use is 256x256 pixels, 96dpi and save it to your PC. Rename the image to the following format: ~hTC_Album Name.vin. Please note that the change refers also to the file extension as it will now become a vin file. Copy this file to the folder of your specific album on your Storage Card. Example: If the album is called Abba Gold, then your vin file will be ~hTC_Abba Gold.vin.

Disable Auto Screen Lock

If you use S2U2, you would have hated the double lock annoyance. Now you can turn off default Auto Screen Lock. Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0, or use the following cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...2&d=1258236796 thanks to triperko.

Tips to Improve Typing Accuracy on Keyboard

Tap each key very lightly and watch the keyboard as you type each letter. Don't watch the suggested words that pop up. Type at a moderate pace. Don't rush. Try the Align Screen option in the Settings/System/Screen menu. Don't press hard. Press as light as physically possible - barely touching the screen and wait at each crosshair until it moves. If you are right handed, for the middle and two right most crosshairs use your right thumb and for the left two most crosshairs use your left thumb. If you were holding the phone with both hands and wanted to touch something on the extreme left of screen you would use your left thumb would you? Also, turn on Spell Correction in Touch Input options and turn off vibration for keys too! Finally the following cab decreases the sensitivity on the keyboard allowing for less mistakes. Really works. A life saver. http://rapidshare.com/files/30889673...hScreen_v2.cab (Cab to decrease sensitivity) or go here for cab http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=430 http://rapidshare.com/files/30827317...n_original.cab (Cab to restore default settings of keyboard)

For those who find that an incoming call goes too quickly to voicemail and does not give you enough time to answer it you can increase the delay up to 30 seconds now. Go to Settings, Personal Tab, Phone, Services, Call Forwarding and Get Settings. You can change the delay from 5 to 30 seconds under the forwarding option. If that does not work based on your carrier, try this: reg edit: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneCallFwd change "DelaySeconds" value to 30 which should indicate 30 seconds.

Move Start Menu Apps to Top of List

Press and hold any app on the start menu and you can then move it to the top of the screen. If you want apps listed alphabetically, work backwards from z to A in regards to the order in which you move apps.

Real Exit for HTc Album

By defualt, when you click on the ok/X button in HTC Album, the app minimizes and does not exit. Make the following change to really exit the app and thus save some program memory: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbumv"ok_minim ize" = dword:0

Enable Auto Data Disconnect for Auto Email Downloads and Other Downloads with a Cab File

When you have auto email downloads enabled, data is not disoconnected after mail retrieval and thus your battery is drained much faster. Modify the following reg edit to have data disconnect after 60 seconds. You can test this by tapping on the notfification bar while downloading emails and watch the data connection close after idle for 60 seconds. Please note. Data connection will NOT auto disconnect if you have any HTC Sense auto download enabled such as Weather, Twitter, Stocks, Facebook or Time Sync. Please set these apps to manual download only. Please note that this setting has the possible effect of disabling simultaneous voice and data on some devices, even if you are on a capable network and signal. See Tip 70 for an app that works with even HTC data downloads.

Make Common Apps Open Instantly With No Delay

The most often used apps on the HD2 would be SMS and Email. As the HD2 has plenty of memory and it is very hard to fill it up during use, why not add these two apps to the task manager exception list. This means they will never truely exit and will always be open in the background.

You can put any search engine here. "Pda" is included in the above String to optimize it for your phone. If you want the html search version view then just delete the "pda/" part. Also instead of "en-GB" you can put your own country code such as "en-US", "it", "fr", "de" etc to change the language of the Google Search interface. You can also change the ".co.uk" to your own Google page for your country by using ".it" or ".fr" or ".com" or ".de" etc.
