  • Add GPS settings icon
    

     

    If you have a GPS device, you can add a GPS settings icon to your Start > Settings menu using:
    

     

    HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2 (DWORD decimal)
 HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\redirect <-- delete, or rename, this value

     

     

    Note that '2' stands for the Connections tab, '1' is System and '0' would be Personal
     Note also that this has reportedly disabled one person's USB connectivity. To restore, set "GPS Program Port = None", "GPS Connection Port = None", "Automatic GPS Management = on"

  • Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar
    

     

    If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
    

     

    HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
    

     

     

    And to show:
    

     

    HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)
    

     

     

    Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe"._
     _Note also that this reportedly does not work on AKU2 ROMs to remove the new battery indicator

  • Change the location of Ringtone file storage
    

     

    WM5 will look for Ringtones in \Windows\ or \Windows\Rings by default. You can change this location to, for example, your Storage Card (example given is for ringtones placed on the Storage Card root folder)

     

    HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = "\Storage Card\" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

     

     

    To return to the original location:
    

     

    HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory = "\Windows\Rings\" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

     

     

    Note the default location may be "\Windows\" or "\Windows\Rings\" depending on your Device provider.

  • Change the keyboard backlight duration
    

     

    To change the duration of the keyboard backlight, you can set (example is 30 seconds):
    

     

    HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)
    

     

     

    Please note that this may not work on some devices. One such notable exception is the HTC Wizard.

  • Improve Sound Quality of Speaker Phone
    

     

    You might have observed that when you turn on speaker while during a call, the other person has complained of too much disturbance on the line and can hear more of static then your voice. Here's a fix to improve mic sensitivity:
    

     

    HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
 HKLM\Software\HTC\AUDIOGAIN(x)\EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME = CC (DWORD hexadecimal)
 where (x) = none, 0, 1, 2
