Tutorial: Overclocking and Make It Stick - HTC Startrek

I Made this tut because I was thoroughly confused when I found omapclock and TornadoPowerControl. This guide is primarily directed towards HTC StrTrk and pretty much makes it so that you can delete the start menu shortcuts and not have to worry about your overclocking ever again. I take no credit for any of these useful tools and no responsibility if your dumb ass tries to over overclock your phone.
EDIT I found out a way to make TPC not show up in your task manager. If you DONT want this then you should skip step 8.
1) Download Tornadopowercontrol14.cab and tcmdphone.cab and load.zip to Windows directory.
2) Install all on your phone
3) Using Total Commander browse to install dir of tornado power control
4) Create a shortcut and place it in the startup directory in Windows
5) Using the Total Commander browse the the startup folder and EDIT the shortcut
6) The shortcut should look something like
60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe"​
7) There are several commands that you can tell the program to run on startup
'dim' starts in dim mode (display is dim)
'bright' starts in bright mode (normal operation)
'hide' hides the app at startup
'toggle' changes from previous mode ie if in bright mode before boot now in dim mode​
This is what mine looks like:
60#"\Program Files\TornadoPowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide​
8) If you DON'T want TPC to appear in the task manager then edit your startup shortcut and add italicized characters before your existing characters. Please note, this will render your start menu shortcuts inoperable and you wont be able to get to the TPC GUI. You can even delete the start menu shortcuts (I did).
41#"\Windows\load.exe" -hide "Program Files\Tornado PowerControl\TornadoPowerControl.exe" bright hide​9) Now goto your install directory and youll see 3 shortcuts named
Power_On.lnk - controls what happens when your backlight is turned on
Power_BacklightOff.lnk - when backlight turns to dim
Power_UserIdle.lnk - when phone goes into idle (screen off)​10) Those 3 files are EMPTY and TPC will not do anything with them if they remain the same.
11) omapclock.exe is included with TPC install and is in the same directory omapclock will respond to command line prompts just like TPC did earlier with Step 7.
12) Delete Power_On.ink. Create a shortcut to omapclock.exe and rename it to Power_On.ink. Edit the shortcut. add '-clock XXX' where XXX is desired speed (I have read other forums where people got stable results at 252 but I elected to stay with 240 for piece of mind)
Heres Mine:
30#"\Program Files\OmapClock\OmapClock.exe" -clock 240​13) Reboot and run omapclock from startmenu to make sure that speed is 240, close phone and let screen turn off and repeat
14) Enjoy
Note 1- If you want TPC to lower the speed of the processor when the backlight dims then do the same method as step 12 except replace Power_BacklightOff.ink. I dont know why you would want to slow down the phone even further but I guess you could in theory edit Power_UserIdle.ink and underclock your phone to save battery life maybe.
Note 2- Im using this on erofich's WM6 on Cingular 3125 and tested/benchmarked differences using TCPMP with a Youtube video saved in .flv and noticed significant improvement.

features looks pretty cool!
Graphically, I have to say, it isn't so good; why not just keeping the same graph style of the original comm mgr?

Thanks. Ready to fix bugs. This application is complex (many oem specifics issues) so it could be a long time....but I hope finally all is fixed...
Ok just read your instructions and i'm assuming that email address is mispelt (1 m instead of 2 at the end)??

Right fixing.....
Ok, first bug. Clicking on wifi settings brings me straight to the old comm manager screen.

well, it isnt a bug. Its what I wanted to do. Maybe I should change the text. Its a quick way to open classical Comm Mgr....
Any way to change the default place so i can remove the 'unknown' one?

Or maybe do like a 'Setting1' 'Setting2' type scenario that points to the 2 settings in Control Panel. Would be nice to get rid of the old Comm Manager altogether and replace with this one once its final. Maybe just add the old CommMgr as a menu item??
Once i've created a new place and i go to edit it, the changes are not saved.

I thought It was a good idea to setup a default place. When the current location isnt known then htis plca. This place is special because allows the set a default behaviour when the current place isnt known.....
Can i make a suggestion for the data counter?
I've noticed that the counter only clocks up for the current data session. Once the session is closed, the counter resets to 0 so you have no way of seeing how much was tranferred last session. Maybe add:
Current session
Last session
Total (with a reset counter)
Just an idea to increase functionality

However, have noticed another bug. If you change the icon and then save, the name of the place is replaced with the icon name.

Pimp Your Trek (Vista Touched)

Here is a few snap shots of my Trek. Ill include any cabs i used and i have a few useful registry tweaks also.
I Have the 3125 from Cingular. I have more program memory than the other variants of this phone. Any tweaks or programs I mention worked fine on my phone but you may enounter low memory issues due to the size of some of the installs.
Pimp Your Startrek based on WM6.1 Professional v2
This is a tutorial on how I tweaked my Star Trek to near perfection.
System Volume Tweak
This gives your phone an overall additional boost on sytem volume. It works great sometimes you might have to reduce you volume a down 1 bar because it does get loud. Clipping and distortion may occur. I was satisfied. I didnt notice much distortion but think it also depends on how your music is mastered and what format.
Navigate through your registry and change the following keys.
HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\AUDIOGAIN\EAC_GAIN_EMBEDDED set value to 72
HKLM\Software\HTC\AudioGain\CODEC_GAIN_EMBEDDED set value to 00
The Comm Manager is a variant of the one use on the Kaiser (Tytn II or Tilt). The gradiance on some of the buttons because the 3G button and WIFI Button had to be omitted and it threw the natural order of the buttons off so thats why the shading is off but it works great. If anyone can post a fix for it please do. I had to use an additional program called (CM Settings) to remove the extra buttons. Ill include the cab in a later post. It can be removed once the change is made.
Cabs
Attached to this thread are the cabs i used to accomplish what is in the above post.
Theme Install
Unzip and drop the Vista theme in your Windows directory on you phone. Navigate to Start\Settings\Today and change your theme to Vista Black WM6
Audio Manager Install
Drop the Audio Manager Cab on your phone or storage card and install as usual. I installed on phone. (Works with no known Issues)
Touch Dialer Skin
Drop the Wizard ReTouched Dialer Cab on your phone or storage ard and install as usual. I installed to phone. Soft reset and you should have a new dialer.
Touch Calculator Skin
Drop cab on phone or storager card as usual. Install to phone. Open Calculator and it should be skinned like the Touch Calculator.
WMP Touch Skin
Unzip files to a folder in your desktop. Open that folder and select all and copy. Navigate through active sync to the path of \Program Files\Windows Media Player on your phone and paste the files there. Then open up Windows Media Player on your phone it should open to your library hit the back button it will take you to the player. Go to menu and select options navigate to the skins tab and you should be able to switch to your new theme by selecting the arrow button.
HTC Home
Do the usual drill in copying it to your phone. Install program to the phone. This installs the 6 button Home plugin. This is the older 1.5 plugin in so the weather tab is not functional until you modify the dll to update from the new server. Only bug that i found is that the brightness toggle and screen rotation locked up the phone. But i used the HHC program to customize the plugin and I omitted those buttons and replaced with programs i frequently used. I will post the tutorial on how to get the weather working (FOR US ONLY)
Install the Home DLL Patcher. This will update the HTC Home program to update the weather from the new servers. Then open the HH_0409_WeatherCities.zip and unzip it to your desktop. Open the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file in notepad and you will see a line like this <city name="Carrollton, US" loca="30117" land="United States" />Copy this line and paste it directly under the line you copied. This is the line that you will modify to add you custom city. Lets say I wanted to add ATLANTA GA as a custom city I would change it to be like this <city name="Atlanta, US" loca="30331" land="United States" />
The loca="30331" is the zip code that you will replace with your own.
The city name="Atlanta, US" is the the city name you will replace.
Once you add your custom cities. Save the file. Take the file you saved and place it in the windows folder on your phone and soft reset you phone. Now when you configure your HTC home plugin your city will show.
The Comm Manager is a replacement for the Kaiser but since our phones arent technically a smartphone anymore but they are viewed as Pocket PC by software installs we can use this updated Comm Manager. Put the cab on your phone and install as usual. Soft reset is recommended but not required. Now that the Comm Manager is installed next install the CM Settings program. This program will allow you to remove and add buttons on the new Comm Manager. It has a small foot print but you can remove it after the mod is made. Open CM Settings. It will say something like do you want to use an 8 or 10 button Comm Manager. Select 8. Using Fake Cursor navigate to the left side of the screen and select the middle Comm Manager it will turn GREEN. Navigate to the right side of the screen and select Flight Mode, Phone, Bluetooth, Mirosoft Direct Push, Data Connection, Ringer, Active Sync, and Wireless Modem. Deselect anything else like WIFI etc (You done have MS Direct Push installed but its kinda filling the last space on the Comm Manager since it is an 8 Button one. Otherwise it will give you an error message when you try to apply without it. Go to menu and apply settings. Select no on applying the default settings. You will get a confirmation that settings were applied. Exit out of the program and open up your Comm Manager and you should have 8 Buttons with MS Direct Push greyed out but all other buttons should work flawlessly.
More cabs...
More cabs... Yeah I could zip into one but im not at home.
UPDATE: I added SRS WOW HD driver. This is just icing on the cake for the volume registry tweak. Adds loudness and clarity. This version has the normal stuff but has an added input and output gain control. This helps with any clipping issues with internal speaker. The good thing is that it works with A2DP right out the box no registry tweaks required. It made my Jabra BT620s sound like studio headphones. I keep it on the head phones setting all the time even when using internal phone speaker. But when not using A2DP keep the SRS Center Effect below 30-40% this seems to control how loud the internal speaker gets. Any higher it sounds like garbage and you may risk blowing the speaker. Change everything else to your liking.
Added new Startup splash screen to match today screen. Drop the welcomehead.96.png into your windows folder.
Will add a new external display backgrounds. (screen that appears on the external display when the phone is open) I have one that will have the vista bars on the external screen but it gives the phone a look like your looking through the phone to the main screen. Kinda weird and creepy. I also have one for the htc logo that appears during the boot process.
Questions Comment Suggestions Welcome
good one.. would try it tonite...
This is really cool, but I have two questions:
1. Installing the dialer changed it in the regular OS, but not during PIN entry... any remedy for that?
2. The comm manager looks really weird, but you mentioned that... however, it doesn't seem to accept D-Pad / keyboard input... is that normal?
Home plugin

Hmmm, I can't find a version of the HTC Home plugin that doesn't terminally crash my install.
I've tried the one attached here, Schens, the older v1.0 but they all eventually (30 seconds or so) freeze the device and it needs a hard reset to get it working again.
Any other reliable ones floating around that you know of?
yup it freezes device. But u dont have to hard reset it. Just power off as usual, turn on again and QUICKLY disable htc home in settings. Is there any fix?

[REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* - Updated 27th January 2011.

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
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Increase Resolution of Back Thumbnails
Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Prefs\User Prefs and change History Thumbnail Size from 128 to 512.
4. Increase Number of Opera Tabs
Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Prefs\User Prefs and change Maximum Allowed Tabs from 3 to say 9 (or any number)
5. Enable Hidden Owner Info in All Settings\Personal Folder
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner and change Hide from 1 to 0 and then reset. You can now enter your name you want to register old apps.
6. 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. See also Tip 113 for related tip.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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
10. 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.
11. Exiting Volume Screen
For quick exit of the volume screen, tap anywhere in the dark grey background surrounding the vertical slider button.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. 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"
15. 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:
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press VolUp to restore manufacturer defaults, or press other keys to cancel."
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons.
4. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
You can also use Clear Storage to reset your device back to factory default settings.
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap All Settings.
2. On the System tab, tap Clear Storage.
3. Enter “1234” and then tap Yes.
Make sure you back up all your data such as Contacts, Appointments etc or they will be gone forever.
16. 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
17. 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.
18. 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.
19. 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, [email protected], ciao, etc.
20. 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.

(x = the quicklink position)
29. 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.

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.

As the HD2 does not come with the task switcher/killer in the top right corner anymore you can use the task manager in system settings menu.

However if you want to keep it and have 8 rows instead of 7 rows, perform this lengthy procedure in the registry:
Go to HKLM/Software/HTC/CommManager/4 Copy all 3 values you find in this folder. Next go back one folder to HKLM/Software/HTC/CommManager and create a new Key and name it 7. Open this folder (7) and paste the 3 values you copied from folder 4. Next go back one folder again and find the DWord value SupportedFunctions and change it form 7 to 8.

82. 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. The benefit of this is that HTC Messaging does not automatically refresh and redraw the contact thumbnails when you load the app. Instant opening of both apps with no load time.

By default when a device which is not on your paired devices list is going to send you a file by BT OBEX Push, the BT manager requires a passkey. You can't disable this in the normal control panel but you can in the registry.
Go to HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\Services\0002
Change Encryption from 1 to 0 (to not use a passkey)
Change Authorization from 1 to 0 (to receive all files without asking)
93. Enable More Future Events in People Facebook Tab
By default you can only see Facebook events within 30 days but you can make it show events which are 60 or even 90 days away.
Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Facebook.LeadTimeOfEvents and change 30 to 60, or 90 or any other amount of days.
94. Instant Tap and Hold in Email
When viewing your list of emails, instead of tapping and holding an email and waiting 2 seconds for a pop up menu to appear, you can get the same menu to appear instantly by tapping the envelope icon to the left of the screen.
95. Show HTC Shortcut Icons in Start Menu
You can have shortcuts in your Start Menu to Peep (Twitter), People, Music, HTC Calendar, HTC Reader by using the following tweak:
Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\IsShortcutEnable and change from 0 to 1.
96. Use Outlook Contact Photo Instead of Facebook Photo
Once you sync to Facebook, in HTC People all your Outlook contact photos change to Facebook profile photos. To swap them back, just seltect a contact and then Edit Contact and tap on the photo to swap it.
97. Save Camera Photos Direct to Storage Card
For new owners out there, open the camera app, then go to the settings and in the Menu, tap the Storage box so it shows a memory card icon.
98. Files You Should Back up Before a Hard Reset for Trouble Quicker Restoration
After a hard reset, it is a pain to have to restore your custom settings etc. Here are my recommended files to back up. Some files and folders can just be copied to a backup folder on your Storage Card, while registry entries will need to be exported to your backup folder. To restore after a hard reset just overwrite the orginal file.
Windows\Favorites (Web Browser favorites)
Windows\ET9IMEDB folder (T9 custom dictionary and added words)
Windows\YouTube folder (Saved Channels, Favorites, History and Search)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\People\FavoriteOrder - a Registry Key Folder (The order of your favourites in People Tab)
Most importantly, use the free PIM Backup app to save your Contacts, Emails, SMS, Tasks, Call Logs, Speed Dials and Calendar entries (free download at http://www.dotfred.net).
99. Shortcut to Comm Manager
Instead of scrolling to Settings tab and tapping on Wireless Controls, you can also access the Comm Manager by tapping the top task bar to get the Notifications screen and then taping on the phone reception icon. The beauty of this method is you don't need to be seeing the touchflo tabs and can get to Comm Manager while in any other app showing the top task bar.
100. Enable Align Screen Calibration in Settings
Certain US roms or custom roms do not have the screen calibration option showing in All Settings, System, Screen. This allows you to tap on crosshairs to calibrate the screen. To enable it just use the registry tweak below:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen and change from 1 to 0.
101. Enable All Settings Shortcut in Start Menu
Most roms have the Settings shortcut in Start Menu link to the Manila Settings tab. To gain access to the Windows Mobile settings you have to go to the Manila Settings tab, hit Menu and then hit All Settings. The following tweak adds a new shortcut to the All Settings page. Soft reset required.
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\HideSettings and change 1 to 0.
102. ReEnable Facebook Album Thumbnails
After many tweaks you may have realised you can no longer download your friend's Facebook albums in the Album tab. Go to the following registry and make sure the cachesize is set to 0 and then reboot: HKLM\SYSTEM\STORAGEMANAGER\FATFS\CacheSize set to 0.
103. Enable Sent SMS Status Notifications
By default, you have no confirmation if an SMS has been sent or not. Now you can enable a pop up message to tell you if an SMS has been successfully sent and even if it has failed. Go to All Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications tab, tap on Event and choose Message: Send failed and check Display message on screen. Next choose Message: Send succeeded and check Display message on screen. Finally you must also make the following reg tweak:
HKLM\Software\Jataayu\Messaging\DisableSMSSucess change from 1 to 0. This tweak works on specific roms alas.
104. Quick Manual Update on Twitter Tab
Normally to manually update the Twitter tab, you have to tap on Menu and then Update Now. You can save one tap by just tapping on the sync icon - right above your top listed tweet on the Twitter tab. Also works with weather tab.
105. Solution to Trouble Signing into Twitter Using HTC Peep
To avoid a login error with the HTC Peep Twitter client, make sure you've signed out of Twitter in the browser of your computer.
106. Choose What is Shown in the Thumbnail for Favourite Shortcuts
The first time when you add a favourite shortcut to the Internet Tab, a screenshot is captured of the website and saved to your shortcut. The screen capture is of the top left corner of the website as soon as it is finished loading. To get a closer/zoomed in screen shot of maybe the title logo of the website, double tap to zoom in and drag so the top left corner shows what you want it to show and wait. You should do this WHILE the page is still loading and before it finishes. Again, this only works when adding a shortcut for the first time.
107. Activate Camera Flash Even On Low Battery
Dy default you cannot use the camera flash when the batter level is very low. Use the following reg tweak to allow you to use the camera flash even when battery is low:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\FlashLightPowerUnavailable and change from 1 to 0.
108. Disable Keyboard Vibration
Some people find the vibration when typing a message to be a distraction. You can disable haptic feedback everytime you press a key by going here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\VibrationEnabled and change 1 to 0.
109. Enable Onscreen Menu When Camera Launched
Once you have launched the camera app, if you want to zoom in or change the capture mode or access the settings menu, you have to press the menu icon in the lower right corner. Now you can have the on screen menu automatically show for 6 seconds once you have launched the camera - thus saving you a screen tap and time. Use this tweak: HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\General\ShowUIAfterLaunchCamera and change 0 to 1.
110. Enable Clearer In Call Recording
When recording phone calls via the Menu, Record option during an active call, the clarity might not be that good. Add the following tweak to make the recordings of both parties clearer. Phone call recordings are saved to your Notes app. Go to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev and add a new DWord Value. Name: MixModeRecord and DWord: 1. If Record does not show up in the menu during an ACTIVE call, use the following tweak: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice. Change AllowInCallRecording and EnableCallRecordMenuItem from 0 to 1.
111. Enable Speedier Entries When Setting Times
If you have your clock set to 24hour format, when entering times in a new appointment or setting a new alarm you have to scroll through 24 numbers to choose the right hour. By going to Settings Tab, Date & Time and unchecking 24-hour format, you now only have to scroll through 12 digits when selecting an hour - thus quicker to execute.
112. Change Landscape Angle for Better Bedtime Viewing
If you browse the web or send emails while laying down (say in bed) it can be very frustrating that your phone switches to lanscape when you want it to stay in portrait mode. Execute the following reg tweak so that the phone will only rotate to landscape if it is tilted over 60 degrees as opposed to 35 degrees. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCSensor\GSensor\LandscapeAngleThreshold and change from 35 to 60.
113. Enable Bluetooth and/or NaviPanel to be Auto Activated by Car Power (Car Kit Mode)
Now you can automatically start Car Kit Mode when you turn the ignition on and your phone is connected via USB car charger. It detects AC power, waits for BT Carkit to connect and then starts NaviPanel. Phone dialer now stays in landscape mode. See also Tip 6.

114. Hidden Links on Home Tab
Put your Weather and Calendar tabs towards the end of the other tabs as you can easily access those tabs by pressing the weather graphic under the flip clock and by tapping on the date - all on the Home tab. Also you can access the World Clock by tapping on the flip clock and you can access the Alarm Clock page by tapping on the Alarm text - again all on the Home Tab.
115. Instantly Convert Web Youtube Videos into Mobile Viewable Videos in Browser
Sometimes when clicking on a link to a Youtube video it will take you to the Desktop version of the video and of course our phones do not support Flash videos in Opera. Simply delete the 'www' in the video url and replace it with the letter 'm' and reload. It will now show the mobile version of that page and allow you to play the video with your built in HTC Youtube Player.
116. Quicker Search for Contact Name
When searching for a contact by typing out their name in a text field, instead of searching by first name, start typing out their surname instead. You will get the contact you want with only 3 or 4 letters as opposed to scrolling through a long list of 'John's for example.
117. Create Folders for Camera Save Location on SD Card
To auto create 'My Pictures' and 'My Videos' folders on you SD card and to be able to select the media saving prefix in the Camera settings when Storage Card is selected, perform the following reg tweak:
HKLM\software\HTC\camera\general\EnableDCIM and change the D-Word value from 1 to 0.
118. Install Java Apps to SD Card
To have your installed java apps available after a hard reset and to save on internal phone memory, in the registry go to HKCU\Software\Jblend and change the GFS_Java_physicalpath entry to any folder you like on the SD. Best to set it to \storage card\windows\java.
119. Disable Shutter Sound in Camera Silent Mode
Instead of always manually turning off the shutter sound when in silent mode go to HKLM\system\pictures\camera\oem and change the Forceshuttersound value to 0.
120. Disable the Virtual Keyboard from Auto Popping Up
This reg edit is to prevent the SIP (virtual keyboard) from auto opening:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\TurnOffAutoDeploy and change from 0 to 1.
121. Add Internet Sharing Option in USB to PC PopUp Menu
This reg tweak will add internet sharing as a 3rd option in the Usb to PC popup menu:
HKLM\Software\HTC\USBtoPCPopUp\OnlyTwoChoice and change from 1 to 0.

Found some tips posted by Vlk_77 in another thread:
To force a rotation of the screen (for example TomTom) when it is not detected by putting the HD2 in landscape mode:
Download Rotate.exe from XDA, make a shortcut of this program, rename it to long_send.lnk and copy to C:\windows, then long press left button and this program will be executed, rotating the screen.
To be able to realy close programs using the X in stead of just 'minimizing' the program and leaving it in memory:
Install Duttys HTC task manager, restart and X is back (also in settings you can configure its function)
When some more hints and tips are added, this one smells like a Sticky
This is a tip concerning the missing HTC Taskmanager.
With explorer open the windows folder and search for taskm.
Copy it and past a shortcut in 'windows\startmenu\Programs\extra for example
Now it's possible to place a shortcut on your Manila today and you can open/close running programs.

This is a tip concerning the HTC Sense language, you can switch to different languages via a reg tweak

Try this: http://www.andrewsayshello.com/windows-mobile/auto-disconnecting-idle-data-connections-in-wm6/
I believe the owner data is set based on what you enter in the 'me' business card. It's in the 'people' app, at the top of your contact list.
That means you don't need that registry fix to make the 'old' owner info UI visible.

On the rotation hint - I found rotate.exe, copied it to my storage card, created a shortcut on my storage card - renamed the shortcut long_send.lnk. I copied that shortcut to the windows directory, and unfortunately it doesn't work. when i click the shortcut, it does indeed rotate the screen, but long pressing the send key does not. Any ideas on why this might not be working?
Taskmanager
Does anyone know if it's possible that their is a registry tweak to enable the infamous X button on the homescreen?
I know you can get it by using dutty's taskmanager, but it also installs a duplicate taskmanager app. So is their any way of getting the X back without an extra taskmanager?
Maybe only a shortcut cab file or something?
Thanks a lot guys... great tips
XDA is one of the major reasons I continue to use HTC product..

Haven't tried it myself yet (do not have the HD2 yet), but in that post the functionality is confirmed by another member.
Maybe if you copy the rotate.exe to the windows folder as well ???

Thanks for the link. I'll ask the question over in that thread and see if anyone knows what's happening. I would think if activating the shortcut directly makes the screen rotate, then perhaps this is a problem with the exact file name. Just a guess though.

It's true. I could not find any men's gloves thin enough. They were all too thick to work on the screen. Dents in the UK make silk lined women's leather gloves that don't look feminine and can easily pass off as men's gloves. Here is the link to the pair I have and they work great on the Leo screen. You can buy them in Allders, John Lewis, Selfridges and Harrods.

[APP][GAME] Sudoku player.

So, another Sudoku player hits the Pocket PC, so what's different about this one? As per 5x5, another puzzle game from the 'stephj' stable, it's small lean and mean, with a clear no nonsense display. It only allows you to play Sudoku puzzles, it does not generate them.
SUDOKU.EXE is in the file Sudoku.zip
Written in eVC++ as a Win32 application, it requires no extras, or runtime, only the executable, which itself is under 16Kb in size. All the DLLs it calls are already on your device as part of the WinMo operating system. As it is targetted at WM2003 and the ARMv4 instruction set, the lowest common denominator, it should run on all Pocket PCs. The main menu is limited to two items so it will appear correctly on WinMo 5 onwards, as can be seen in the screen dumps. Just drop it onto your ARM powered Pocket PC and run it.
As it requires a touch screen, FileOpen, and FileSave dialogs, it will not run on Smartphones, and will say as much if you try and run it. It can deal with screen orientation changes, and will run on the majority of common screen formats. On QVGA landscape it just fits one way and on a 240x240 square device things get even tighter. It has been tested on the all the current emulator images. If it doesn't behave on your device, send bug reports on the back of a cigarette packet to the usual PM address, or just report them in a post here.
It creates and uses the file "\Sudoku Save.dat", in the root directory of your device. If the program is terminated by Task Manager or by the WinMo OS when resources start to get a little tight, it will dump the current state of play to this file. When the program is restarted, the state of play resumes where you left it, but if the machine is soft reset, this auto-save feature will be bypassed.
There are two ways to get a puzzle started.
1.) If you want to use one printed in a newspaper, for example, you can edit your own starting puzzle pattern, by selecting 'New' from the menu. The grid background turns light grey to remind you that you are in this mode. Highlight the number in the selection box and tap a square to drop the number in it. When all the starting numbers have been entered, and you are ready to go, select 'Play' to store this as the starting position, and start playing the game. The background returns to white. Save this start position as a puzzle that can be loaded again later if required.
2.) Alternatively create a text file, (.TXT) using your PC (Notepad) or PPC Pocket Word to create a Sudoku file using zeros as space fillers, similar to the following :-
White space is ignored so the files:
Code:
049000050
000050600
000302000
200030006
504010902
800070001
000004000
007090000
020000480
or
049000050000050600000302000200030006504010902800070001000004000007090000020000480
are identical, and create the puzzle shown in the screenshots.
Use the 'Open' menu to select and load this file.
The program will not let you play an invalid move, but it will let you play an incorrect one. To undo a move, tap the square again and it will clear, providing it was not part of the original start pattern. The menu option 'Reset' will clear the grid back to its original start pattern. The selected number can be changed by tapping the new number in the selection box, or alternatively, moved to the next number by use of the Left/Right buttons of the D-PAD, Up/Down in the case of landscape.
Two moderate puzzles are included. SUM07121.TXT is the puzzle above, as shown in the images.
SUGET.EXE is a .NET CF 1.1 program that can download a daily Sudoku puzzle from the internet and save it in the above format, that this program can load and play. It will run on later versions of CF .NET. It is posted here

HD2 MorphGear Settings = Frustrating?

Hey guys im currently trying to change my morphgear screen settings to 150% but whenever i try to change it it just goes back to 100% yes ive read a lot of threads spent 3 hours looking for solutions but still no luck could anyone help me? should i buy a stylus? or should i use my tooth pick lol (it wouldnt work. Believe me i even used my tongue to press the 150% selection) I have no idea how to regedit it and what screen size should i use to make half of the screen the gba game then the other half is the controller help me please im really hungry and sleepy!
well it was a very hot topic in the morphgear port thread... they suggested to use the back button or something to make the settings "stick" in place... I don't remember and wouldn't know, since any methos i use simply works... anyway you'd better check the thread over at the themes and apps forum in the hd2 section, or to be faster, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593464
hey mate this happened to me as well, you just keep pressing the SCREEN SIZE again once its highlighted and it will scroll through the options
get a registry editor and In the registry go to HKCU - software - morphgear - (module you want to set eg gameboyadvance) - screensize (change value from 100% to window size)
i found the solution i used the on screen keyboard to save the settings (click the settings that you want to change then use the arrow keys to select it the press enter) for example
-Click screensize
-then open the onscreen keyboard
-then use the arrow keys to navigate up and down through sizes 100% 125% etc.
-press enter on your desired screen size OMG it worked! hahaha thanks guys for helping me out
For me, it works fine. What you need to do is 'double tab' or 'tab repaetly' at the setting icon to change the setting.
It takes me quite long time to find this out as well. Enjoy.
Note: I'm on MorphGear2.4.0.9_HD2v0.8
