How to change primary LiveID email without resetting WP7 (by sensboston)

On the desktop:
1) Go to http://account.live.com and sign in with your old account;
2) Change your LiveID email (use existing email or get new one from @hotmail.com);
3) Save your changes and re-login with new ID.

On the handset:
1) Using registry editor or provisioning file, change these values:

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"=your_new_id@hotmail.com
"User"=your_new_id@hotmail.com

[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"=your_new_id@hotmail.com

Provisioning file:

<wap-provisioningdoc>
   <characteristic type="Registry">
      <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}">
         <parm name="Email" value="your_new_id@hotmail.com" />
         <parm name="User" value="your_new_id@hotmail.com" />
      </characteristic>
      <characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production">
         <parm name="DefaultID" value="your_new_id@hotmail.com" />
      </characteristic>
   </characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>

2) Reboot phone.

Now you on new LiveID email without factory reset!


this thread will be updated as soon as we have identify or found new entries.


Please submit any Registry Tweak you have and I will update this post.
thanks

maybe you know how to disable that "auto prediction/writing" thing on the Soft keyboard ?

the problem is that if your phone is in English and you want to write some Dutch words it makes his own words

holy crap! good game xbox
I have to say in combination with ansar's work, we could have a public kitchen for htc devices. I am impressed

Go into settings > Keyboard then clear the checkbox: "Correct mispelt words"

This annoys me to when shortening words so I disabled it!

There seems to be three kind-of special AccentDisplayNames:
4: Not present (but hex value is present, mostly black)
11: light blue.
12: dark blue.

The 11 and 12 AccentdisplayNames are kind of special, using the very same localized string across all supported device languages, i.e.:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\AccentsDisp layName\0409]
"0"="Green"
"1"="Red"
"2"="Blue"
"3"="Orange"
"5"="Pink"
"6"="Brown"
"7"="Lime"
"8"="Teal"
"9"="Purple"
"10"="Magenta"
"11"="azul claro" <- Spanish
"12"="azul oscuro" <- Spanish

If you change those values, the "theme-ing" gets broken for that language until you fix it back. However, you can add other colors from 13 and up, such as:

; =================================================
; Adding custom colors
; =================================================

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\AccentsDisplayName\0409]
"13"="Grey"
"14"="Light grey"
"15"="Black"
"16"="White"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\AccentsDisplayName\0c0a]
"13"="Gris"
"14"="Gris claro"
"15"="Negro"
"16"="Blanco"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\0\Accents]
"13"=dword:FF808080
"14"=dword:FFC0C0C0
"15"=dword:FF000000
"16"=dword:FFFFFFFF

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Themes\1\Accents]
"13"=dword:FF808080
"14"=dword:FFC0C0C0
"15"=dword:FF000000
"16"=dword:FFFFFFFF

Regards.

It must be a special case; I don't have values 11 or 12 specified on my unbranded Optimus 7. Cool that it works to add more colors above 10 though, thanks for the report.

Mine es a branded LG Optimus E900.
BTW... how can I remove the OEM splash?
