Registry changes not "taking"

[worcester4x4]

I'm trying to use Mobile Registry Editor to modify the registry on my XDA Exec.

The changes appear to be accepted as far as the PC screen is concerned but the changes do not take effect on the Exec. If I restart the registry editor and pull the "modified" registry from the WM device the change is there but the device still works as per the old registry setting.

I've tried a soft reset but that makes no difference.

Can anyone offer any advice please?

obviously if it doesn't work... u might have put the key value on the wrong section, wrong key value (typo) or the value should be a DWORD, etc but you've inserted a STRING, etc.. value.

that was from my experience..


p/s: what is it that u wanna tweak?, if it's the "Owner Info", u need two values, string value and binary value, then you'll get the changes..

I always use the power button to put the uni in sleep mode. Then wait 2 min. before resetting.

Resetting right away when the device is on will calculate in loss of data such as the last text message(s) not being saved and/or settings.

When the device goes into sleep/hibernate it writes all changes to the memory


I've lost a couple of texts that way.

Please do follow my articles. I've explained in MANY of them that you need to SUSPEND your device before resetting so that the WinCE database and registry changes are flushed back to the flash ROM.

Hi

Thanks for replying.

I don't think I've either put the changes in the wrong sections or put the wrong values in. I've tried changing two relatively simple items just to test the water so to speak. The first is simply to change the text message "message sent" text. For that I went to:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\SMS\MessageSent

and changed the string value from "Message Sent" to "Message Delivered"

The second was to change the phone ring characteristics by going to:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script

and changing the value to (string) ap100w2r (activate, play at 100% vol, wait 2secs and repeat).

The values are still there in the XDA's registry but the behaviour is still at default?

Hi

By suspend you mean turn off with the power button, wait 2 mins then reset? Yes?

I did this and still no joy.
