WARNING: DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING
Changing the Startup and Shutdown Screens Using a signed Registry Editor..... Here's what I changed HKLM/System/Startup/1/ Value -> Splash Edit Value data to path of file e.g. if your path of file is /Application Data/Home/test.bmp, enter that into the field EDIT: Thanks to shadamehr who brought this point up. MAKE SURE THAT YOUR IMAGES ARE ON THE PHONE'S MEMORY, NOT IN STORAGE CARD. /Application Data/Home/ is a good place to put it The previous example for Storage Card was a very bad one. I hadn't realised I typed in the wrong path. HKLM/System/Startup/2/Splash Same thing (for second splash image) HKLM/System/Shutdown/1/ Value -> Splash Do the same thing You should now see that the splash images change. Some minor memory management fix Storing temporary internet files in IE hogs up precious memory on the phone (somehow it doesn't happen to me in WM2003). Here's how I avoid losing my memory to temporary internet files (since I do a lot of browsing). HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Explorer/Shell Folders Values -> Cache Change value data to point to your Storage Card (if you have enough space, else edit your cache size limit). Toggling the Grid Style Menu Please refer to the other posts about this. http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...oggle+grid+menu Startup Sounds First, install this http://www.modaco.com/content/tornado-faraday-variants-tornado-modaco-com/108832/http-www-modaco-com-index-phpshowtopic-108832/ Then browse to /Storage/windows/Startup/ Move the Startup.lnk shortcut to your startup folder in /windows/Startup/. This is because WM5.0 handles it differently. Remember, it's an application that runs at startup. There is currently no known way to set shutdown sounds. The registry edit, for some reason, only works on non-HTC smartphones (it hasn't worked since the Voyager). Startup AND Shutdown Sounds From Modaco some time back (not written by me) First copy the following plugin dll into your /Application Data/Home/ directory. 
sss.zip ( 787.81K )
Number of downloads: 1510Then in any of your desired homescreen, insert this line CODE <plugin clsid="{21031980-1512-2103-3005-197719802002}" name="SSS" start="/Application Data/Home/start.wav" stop="/Application Data/Home/stop.wav"></plugin> As you can see, my start and stop paths refer to the location of my startup and shutdown sounds. You may put this anywhere you wish (preferably in your phone memory). Launch the homescreen and voila! I'm looking into compiling a nice set of skin in a proper .cab file (busy downloading the new SDKs). Enjoy! This post has been edited by chrisc28: Nov 14 2005, 05:19 |

I think the root is :

Ok folks - I have downloaded a pile of 'Operator Logos' from Kleinwiedr's site (I assume these to be the 'banner' that appears when entering your SIM pin on bootup, and when making a call or whatever...
Anyone know what I do with them, to get them to work, in WM5.0 on an SP5? (Asked in this thread, as you seem to know what's what...) This post has been edited by shadamehr: Nov 13 2005, 18:54 --------------------  |

QUOTE(duncan888 @ Nov 13 2005, 19:00) Is there a way to add startup and shutdown sounds? Almost sure this is not possible on SmartPhones.WARNING FOLKS! I've just spent ages trying to get this to work and failing miserably. Then as ever with our Shadamehr here, a lightbulb clicks on and he cracks it... You see, I couldn't get my Startups to work, but I COULD get my Shutdown image to display. And after half an hour of trying .png's, .bmp's, amending the disaply duration and other things, it dawned on me that that was the clue... 'Cos I had stored the images on my Storage Card to save room... And that was why Shutdowns worked but not Startups... Once booted up and running, the phone can access the Storage Card, so my Shutdown was fine. But during bootup, the phone has no access to the Storage Card until the OS is up and running, so it couldn't ACCESS my images for bootup. As soon as I placed them on the phone memory instead, voila - new Startup Images. Nice one Shadamehr - we gets there eventually... "Wants it ma precious... Nasty hobbits..." /and all that talking to myself stuff... Anyway... Don't store the images you want on Storage Card, as the phone can't read this during bootup stage. So for this to work, save your images somewhere on PHONE MEMORY instead folks. Hope that helps. SECOND TIP... Call your files something generic like "Start 1", "Start 2" and "Shutdown" for example. That way, all you need do if you fancy a change is copy images with the same name over the top of them, instead of having to fire up a registry editor and changing the names of the files which is a far more long winded and laborious way of doing it...

Wasn't being critical chris - indeed, hadn't even noticed you had suggested or indicated to use Storage Card yourself - it was just something i did myself to try and save room, til realised it wont work.Thanks for some great tips mate - cheers! |

Not as much of a hack but there is a T9Settings utility in the windows directory that will let you add/edit/delete words to your T9 list. Create a Shortcut to it, paste it in your Start Menu folder, and you're good to go.

Thanks for Starting the thread. I would change the title to WM5 hacks. Also, I wouldn't mind posting any that were covered before so they are all in one place or maybe I missed the previous thread. Maybe a mod could sticky it as well.

Here is also a link with instruction to unlock the SP5 and SP5m
http://spaces.msn.com/members/xpworld/Blog...A!198.entry QUOTE Unlock WM5 on HTC devices to install your own root CA certificate I found the solution. Unfortunately it is much harder than I anticipated. In fact you have to hack the security policy of WM5 in order to be able to install you own certificate. To accomplish this task you need two programs: RegeditSTG.exe the trusted version of regedit from HTC. SDA_ApplicationUnlock.zip a program to application unlock the SDA and alike smartphones. Now use the following procedure: Copy Regedit.zip to an internal folder of the phone and unpack Regedit.exe. It does not seem to work when it is copied to SD. Start Regedit.exe and change the following registry keys: HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001001 = 2 => 1 (RAPI)HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001005 = 16 => 40 (Cert)HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\00001017 = 128 => 144 (?) Now start SDA_ApplicationUnlock.exe on the PC with the phone attached to the USB port and click Unlock in the application. Restart the phone Now you can install your own root CA certificates by double clicking the .cer file Required files attached This post has been edited by encece: Nov 14 2005, 01:20

Topic pinned.
Also the software you need for startup and shutdown sounds is a plugin called SSS Plugin (Start & Stop Sound). Info on the plugin is below: QUOTE(Pzee) The Start & Stop Sound plugin by Sv1000: 1. Makes it possible to easily assign Startup and Shutdown sounds. Audio files are in *.WAV format. 2. The plugin will also play the WAV file when you change a homescreen layout. Once you hear the sound, the homescreen file is already loaded. Understanding how the plugin works: The XML code of the plugin looks like: To give a rough interpretation of the code... start="\Storage\start.wav" , where start corresponds to Startup sound (start.wav) stop="\Storage\stop.wav" , where stop corresponds to Shutdown sound (stop.wav) Therefore, in order for the wav files to play, your wav file's path and name should be the same as that of the XML code. Obviously, if a wav file is corrupted, it won't play. |

Download the software pack and install the cabs to the sd card , you also gain a switching application to switch between the old numbers menu and the large icon menu, plus you can install the anti virus and games to the sd card , which also stops the antivirus from its stupid 9 day update , all the installed cabs can be found under sd/programme files/cdl
