Well as the title says.
Looked on the forums and on the wiki, but don't really know what I am looking for
I really do look read and try to learn, so please do not flame me
Is there an idiots guide to editing the registry so that My Documents is by default on the storage card??
Thanks to you all

no there isnt... i suggest downloading a program called "Mobile Registry Editor" allows you to edit the PPC's registry from your PC through activesync... from there you can edit the appropriate keys..
I agree with walshieau, Mobile Registry Editor is a great proggy. In response to your question, I haven't seen a foolproof solution to this. You CAN change the reg settings but sometimes you'll have a Storage Card2 or such, not good as you then have to go and rename, a real PITA. Plus ActiveSync (not to be confused with AustinSync, LOL) won't sync with your SC's My Documents. Trust me, this I've been working on for quite a while.
In the WIKI you'll see find the reg key for this. Might be in the registry tweaks section of WM5, Blue Angel, Hermes or Wizard WIKI's...
Good luck.
(I'd also like to keep my Favorites on my SC....)
Thank you
Going to back up my reg first and have a play...
Thanks again for all you help
DotFred Task Manager, Registry Editor on PPC
Just copy this to your device and run it, first making a backup.
The actual setting should be listed in a ROM, or better yet a ROM Kitchen (do a search in the Hermems threads). I don't know if the setting the same for Hermes as it is for Wizard: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows CE Services]
"FileSyncPath"=\\Storage Card\\My Documents
The stting is from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311144
I agree with the Doctor I did it on my previous ROM, but what a mission ... you have to rename all the registry entries previously referring to "Storage Card" to your new entry ... definitely not worth it
Okay. So here is the one issue that I have been having with this particular Rom.
I can receive MMS messages just fine, but I cant send them. When I hit send and receive it says error synchronizing. The crazy thing is that in the progress icon for sending MMS it goes to 100%, however it never leaves my outbox and the other person never gets it.
I changed the settings under server to the correct ones:
Server settings that need to change:
Gateway: "blank"
port: 80
Server address: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
Sending Size limit: 350k or 400k
Any ideas? This is the only problem I have had so far! btw, like I said in my title, im on VZW. Btw, I know about the Arcsoft Sprint MMS hack, however if possible I would like to use the version on Arcsoft that came with the DCD rom as it has a lot of features the old sprint hack does not. Thx.
-Sayajin
if you are on verizon you dont use the sprint hack, you dont need a hack at all. make sure you did not make any changes before you set up your MMS. i know several people that did some things and thought it was the arcsoft but it was something else they had changed. from scratch, only change the registry (did you make these changes?), the server and the connection. then it should work, almost guaranteed. this is in multiple posts so just search and you will find tons of them.
Sounds like my problem may be that I didint make those registry changes you were referring to. Other than that, the only thing I did was put the correct server in.
What registry modifications do I need to make in order for it to work on VZW?
btw, I wanted to add that I searched and found some threads on this issue and the correct settings for T-Mobile, but i diddnt see one for VZW.
Thanks a lot.

MMS reg
SSJSayajin,
Follow my directions here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364043&page=30
Use the reg file and edit it......
Thanks a lot man your a Savior! One issue however, I am open the file and modify it with no problem, however I cant import it!
I am using Total Commander as my file explorer and PHM Regedit as my registry editor. When I click the file a "do you want to import this" does not come up. It actually opens up PHM Regedit, however the option to import the file is greyed out.
Any Ideas? This is my last issue! Thx.
*edit*
So I found out the problem, PHM does not allow you to import reg entries. So how do I open up the default reg editor so I can import this? Thx guys.
-Sayajin
I have a problem with the MMS registery hack you posted, I downloaded it, removed .txt, edited my phone number, transfered it to my phone but in file explorer or total commander when I click on it, it gives me a error " there is no application associated with "Verizon MMS settings for Arcosoft 4281" run the application first, then open this file from within the application" I am running DCD 2.2.6 rom,any help? thanks
Well I figured out one issue, as far as importing the reg file, use DotFred's Task Manager. It has a built in reg editor that works perfectly.
But my stuff still doesnt work properly! I imported the reg entry and I know it worked becuase it added more items to my phone, however I have the same problem of being unable to send mms. Does the exact same thing as before with the error of unable to syncronize.
Any ideas? Thx.
-Sayajin
i am testing this now. did a hard reset, imported it and i'll test it out.
that didnt work. I am juust going back to 3.2
i could send but not recieve
1st - Are you guys on Verizon?
2nd - Did you read the entire thread that I linked too.... It has other items you will need to do..... That thread resolved most if not all issues relating to using MMS with Verizon. Now when I put a new ROM on my phone, I have added the registry entries in MY file to the OEMizer and that adds it automatically to the ROM, so I get MMS right away with my new ROM..... Like I am on DCD's 2.3.1 right now, and I have MMS just fine.... Please go back and read that other thread entirely.... It will help guys.....

that thread is lots of pages long.. is there a way we can get a summary?
Not to be an ass, but thats how you learn... read... I've been lurking around here for about 1 3/4 months, and really have done nothing but read as much as possible.... so really it's up to you to summarize it for yourself. I'd have to re-read it again to be able to summarize it, and I don't have the time to do that research again..... sorry....

lol, youre not being an ass. thats what i would say.
what i meant was, there's more to it than just importing the reg file right?
so, i imported the reg file and it had a random character in the gateway field, so i removed that and i can send fine, but i still cant receive. I'll look through that thread more and see whats going on here.
Are you using Arcsoft MMs ver 4.2.81 right?
EDIT: When you download my reg file, it comes with a .txt extension. When you save it, does it's icon change? If not, then it's not being saved as a registry file....

Yea, its version 4.2.81. Also Yes, the registry icon changes once you remove the .txt extension. The file imports just fine, it just doesnt resolve the issue. Also yes, its on Verizon.
While I realize that reading that 60+ page thread will help, unfortunately I would rather not spend 2 hours reading the thread for a solution that someone may know off hand. Now of course if thats not possible I will have to read it, but I was hoping someone would know of a fix?
What else needs to be done in order to be able to send and receive MMS messages in addition to the registry hack that was pointed out?
-Sayajin
yeah, its verizon and i have that version of arcsoft. whast odd is that it was working fine on 2.2.6, on 2.3.1 it isnt. i even used oemizer to setup the registry entries and still... i can send but not recieve.
i am completely stumped
Okay, So I broke down and read about 30 pages of the thread to look for MMS issues. This is what I have found in a summary.
1. Install the Reg file in this post.
2. Delete every other server listed under MMS servers
3. Delete the random character that shows up under Gateway in server settings.
4. Go into the registry and where it says Default as the value for anything, change it to Verizon Wireless.
5. Soft Reset
Thats about everything I got from the post after reading 30+ pages. Still have the same issue....
-Sayajin
FWIW - This is about the only thing I can think of that might help.... Go into your registry and delete the config key under ArcSoft MMS UA.... Then import this reg file, its straight from my 6800 this morning, and I can confirm it works just fine for me..... I zipped it so there is no need to change the extension..... I send and received MMS from myself and from a friends phone he let me use.... I just tested this out.... I also tested my config by changing the sending size and when I upped it, I couldn't send anymore..... So trying to send larger files may mess up your ability to send MMS..... Hopefully this helps..... If the import doesn't solve the issue, then hard reset, imput the reg and test again......
I'm trying to help as much as I can.....
Thx a lot for the assistance man!
One issue, when trying to import the new file it says "error the selected file is not a registry script unable to import" any ideas on that one?
Thx.

I am making my own OEM's for my personal stuff. I am working in/with dcd's kitchens. I am tring to name my RGU/DSM so that it is last in line to be wrote to the ROM. I am tring to change the registry, but it keeps getting changed agian by a different RGU.
this is the name i am using... ffffffff-ff39-4ba3-be51-51728503a67d
i thought the ffffffff would make it one of the last in line? guess not
question... 1. How does this RGU order go?
just so you know, not that it matters. here is waht i am tring to do....
i want the flashlight app to be assigned to a hardware key. i am putting that into my flashlight OEM's RGU so that i dont have to edit dcd_titan_appbuttons oem. this is easy to do if i just edit his RGU, but everytime he updates his kitchen i have to edit all kinds of stuff. i just want my OEM's to be able to be put into the kitchen and go. i just need to have the last write to reg so that the changes stick.
basicly the same thing with other things like power settings. i have my own oem that i replace with his that works fine reight now, but i am thinking if i knew this RGU order thing i could leave his in there and just add mine as well. mine of course get the last say if the order was right.
all kinds of things like todayscreen plugins/order, startmenu items, cleartype, ect dcd has set in his OEM's that i just edit to my liking. i would like to leave all his stuff and just add my changes.
and for the record... i know that UC is one way, but not the way i want to go.
Thanks, cody
^^^ I've been trying to figure this out as well.... for a long time I might add....
the rgu's are processed example (these are bad guids but you get it): 000-000-000-000 first and fff-fff-fff-fff last.
the log created in temp by buildos will show you the order in which your rgu's were processed
also remember that anything in provxmls will override anything in rgu's
because: the rgus are parsed to build *.hv contained in the rom image. when the device first boots it parses the provxmls itself, so any value they write will write over what your rgu wrote
but thats just a note, the appbutton config is all in rgus not in provxml. i thought i set the guid of dcd_titan_appbuttons low for this exact reason? maybe i forgot to check it..
thanks dcd. the guid for you app buttons was... 00002f98-d8f9-4c73-9dc7-d1f4fd5688f8.
last question...
you said fff was last. since mine was fff and yours was 000 shouldn't my have wrote after your wrote?
thanks for the lesson. tomorrow i will play.

if yours starts with fff, then it did overwrite dcd_titan_appbuttons
maybe what you are trying to set is set in another rgu also. check the log in temp to see whats being loaded after your guid.
I'll assume you thought of this, but just in case for you, or for anyone else...
I have a lot of custom registry stuff as well, so I made a cab file that is the very last thing to run in my UC script.
Try to put your file in a folder and name the folder something like zzz_My_registry_OEM I saw that somewhere and it just appeared to be so obvious.
I've searched and searched and can't seem to find the right keywords to find the registry setting that stops the dialer from always popping up after I exit a program on a DCD rom.
I know you just change one setting but for the life of me I can't remember. Does anyone know?
Thanks.

This is what I use from another post. I believe if the setting is less than a 2 is what causes the problem.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:00000002
The cab attached to this post will make the necessary reg edit for you:

Hey Folks,
Anyone know where the registry files for the sliding keyboard sounds are?
I have been looking in HKLM\Software\HTC as other devices have a SlidingSound(s) DIR, but no joy...
Had a massive search through the forum but not found anything?
I know the default sound files are .wav and named #.wav, #_in.wav and #_out.wav under windows DIR where the # is a number, the deafults being 0-2, but not located the registry keys associated with them?
Thanks in advance.
MBP
Try here:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SlidingIn
and
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SlidingOut
Hope that helps
Hi, I found this 30 mins after my post using the search on Total Commander thanks anyway.
This has worked, however i have no option to select my new sounds in the sounds menu?
Any other Idea's. I expect there to de a configuration file somwhere that sets the menu options. I will keep digging but if anyone knows where this is or knows if i'm heading down the wrong route then please do voice your guidence.
Thanks MBP
