Any And All Software Hacks For PPC-6700

[alwaysbelieve1]

With any and every registry hack you do understand you do them all at your own risk. I, as well as PPC-Central and it's staff, assume absolutely NO responsiblity to what happens to your phone. As always BACK UP, BACK UP, BACK UP!!!

Here is a real quick and cool one.

It is a registry hack to change the "Sprint PCS" on the phone screen(when you make a call). Open up your Reg Editor. I recommend using the PHM Registry Editor For Pocket PC since it is freeware.

Go to the following menu once you have the reg editor open.

(HKLM stands for HKey Local Machine)

HKLM\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name

Then change it to whatever you want. I have "Bob's Phone" on mine. I would suggest not putting that on your phone- well unless you really want to.

Do you want to disable the stupid and pesky "Message Sent" notification after sending a text message?

Here you go:

- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox

- create a new key "Settings"

- create a new string value "SMSNoSentMsg" and set the value to 1

-Hit ok and select "Ok" to save and you are in business.

ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY FIRST


To change the softkeys on the Today screen:

The left-hand softkey settings are at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2


The right-hand softkey settings are at:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3

(You will have to create a new one for the right key. It is not on there already.)


The 'Default' string value can be changed to whatever text you wish to have displayed.

The 'Open' string value can be changed to the program you wish to run when the softkey is pressed.

For example, to change the left-hand softkey to start the Messaging program (text messages and emails) you would set:



HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2\(Default) = Messaging

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2\Open = \windows\tmail.exe



I personally like this one and use it on my phone.

MP3/WMA/WAV for Ringtones:
Add media files into "\Windows\Rings\" folder or Use File Explorer and click and hold on media file and select "Set as Ringtone"

WAV for SMS/EMAIL/Alerts/Alarms:
Add WAV files into "\Windows\" Folder
They will now be available in the Settings>Sounds and Notifications section.

Registry Hack for keyboard LED
HKEY_Current_User, then go to Control Panel, then to Backlight, then at the bottom you'll see a key that says QKEYLED TIMEOUT.Modify that key and change the D Word from 10 to whatever seconds you want.

Disable start menu animation
 HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu Change "AniType" to 0

Today Screen Wireless

This will show if you are on your home network or roaming, also it will show if your WiFi & bluetooth is On/Off. Very cool hack, thanks to that kid for posting this over at pdaphonehome.com

Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click SOFTWARE
Click Microsoft
Click Today
Click Items
Click "Wireless"

There will be nothing in this folder to start!

Now add the following to the folder

Add new Dword with a name Flags and the value is "0"
Add new Dword with a name Options and the value is "0"
Add new String Value with a name DLL value is "netui.dll"
Add new Dword with a name Order and the value is "0"
Add new Dword with a name Enabled and the value is "1"
Add new Dword with a name Type and the value is "4

Now close the program and soft reset the phone.

Add a disconnect button and connection time to your vision connection bubble:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone
Go to New value, then click dword value
Name the value "Flags2" without the quotes
Choose decimal value and enter 16 for value amount

Soft Reset and tap on the vision icon and it will show the disconnect button and connection time

Make PIE look like version 6.0

This will allow you to advert security check on certain websites. (Note: This can cause content problems especially with video streams. You will get the following errors - "Cannot play the file." "The file is either corrupted or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play".)

- Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\
- Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent \
- Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0".
- Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 6.0".
- Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.1".
- Some web sites may just compare the user agent string, but if this is not enough, browse to the Post Platform\ sub key and delete the "240x320" value that specifies screen size.

Remove Wireless Manager and Power Icons from System Tray


HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr
DWord: Keep Set Value: 0 0x0(0)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power
DWord: ShowIcon Set Value: 0 0x0(0)


Permanently Disable Flight Mode

You must have a registry editor installed on the PPC. I used PHM RegEdit

Go to the registry and change the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> ControlPanel -> PhoneExtendFunction -> CDMA

Change FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey to 0

This will prevent the phone from going into Flight Mode if you accidentally press the End Call button for too long.

Note that Flight Mode can still be used by tapping the signal strength meter.

Shut Off The Blinking LED

Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr
And change the Index value from 1 to 0
Then soft reset.
This is for both the blue and green LEDs.

Note: This deactivated the vibrate mode on my phone

Voice Command Volume Fix

Open your regedit program
Go to
HKEY Current User - Control panel - Sound Catagories - Voice Command (or Voicecommand1)-
click on voice command(or voicecommand1) and look for the keys and value section

In the settings
Change:
Attenuation Catagory - Value 1
InitVol - Value 3
Close the edit app
soft reset
and then you might need to check your settings in Voice Command.
Once you have the VOice command settings set for the phone for announce calls, etc
Then call your phone and see if you notice an increase in volume.

If you are running any 3rd party apps, you might need to make sure the volume is set to full.

Show GPS settings within Settings menu
- HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
- Change "Hide" to 0

[etiger13]

whats that last one for GPS do?

[MsPoetry]

Do these changes remain after either a hard or soft reset?

[dilligaf]

Registry changes remain after a soft reset.

Nothing stays after a hard reset except ROM updates.  Hard reset takes you back to the last ROM update.


Think of a soft reset as rebooting your PC and a hard reset as formatting your harddrive and reinstalling everything except the OS gets done for you.
