MPx 220 Registry Edits

Registry edits for the Motorola MPx 220



Here you will find registry edits for the MPx 220. Take note that these same keys may also be available in other MS Smartphones but not in the same location or may have a different name….if you are not sure then I recommend NOT messing with it until you can confirm that it is the key that you want to edit. I will add more to this list as more are discovered.


Note: Modifying, editing, and just plain messing around with the registry can totally hose your phone. If you do not know what you are doing I highly suggest that you stop what you are doing and go to one of the forums I list to the left and get help on the matter. I am NOT responsible for any damages, loss of functionality, and or any other type of abnormality.


The following are registry edits for the Asian 3.45 ROM, these same keys maybe located on other ROM versions.



Turn on ClearType:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPannel\MainLCD\ClearType

Change from 0 to 1



*For the rest of the document, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE will be represented as HKLM likewise, HKEY_CURRENT_USER will be represented as HKCU*




Improve ClearType quality:



HKLM\System\GDI\ClearType\Quality

Increase this number until you get the look you want on your fonts, you will have to restart the phone each time for the changes to take affect.

Increase\Decrease the brightness of the Main LCD screen (Gamma)

HKLM\System\GDI\Gamma\Gamma Value

I have mine set at 2000, increase this value sparingly. If you increase it to much your screen can turn totally white and you will have to do a hard reset to get it back to normal



Turn on the GPRS Available icon on the icon bar:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL\GPRSNOATTACH

Change to 0



Turn off the Roaming Indicator triangle:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\RIL

You will need to create a New DWORD value. Call it NoRoamInd and set the Value Data to 1, if you want it back on simply change it to 0. Power cycle the phone so that the changes take affect.



Change the phones Start Up and Shut Down screen images:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Splash Screen\

Take note of these three keys: CarrierBitmap, CarrierShutdownBitmap, MSBitmap

In the Value Data field in each key type in the directory to where the image you want to use.

Ex.

Value Data: \Windows\ms_splash.gif



Change the reverse order of adresses in Contacts:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\DefaultLCID

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\SystemLCID

Change from 2052 to 1033

Credit for this key is due to Don't Panic of HowardForums....thanks Don't Panic!

Disabling/Enabling the Moto log when the flip is open on the EXT LCD.

HKCU\Control Pannel\ExternalLCD

FlipLogo

Change from 1 to 0 to disable
Change from 0 to 1 to enable

Just wanted to add a few registry edits that I have found very usefull.

Change where the temp internet files are stored, ie to the storage card.

This frees up some space in the internal memory.

1) Create the following folders on your storage card. I did the following...

\Storage Card\Temp\Temporary Internet Files
\Storage Card\Temp\Cookies
\Storage Card\Temp\History

2) Change the registry values to match at...

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Improve memory management

This change helps with the memory management feature. In my case it prevents Agile Messenger from being shutdown when running in the background.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LowMem\ProgramMem

Change the value to 64 or 96 whichever give you the best performance.

This will increase the affectiveness of how Windows uses and manages memory of open programs.

Credit for this edit goes to you Omega. I found it on the MGN forums.

I just thought this would be a good place to add another tweak, I got this from user: zero_divide_1 off the HoFo site. http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=224193&hl=caller+id Ihave ONLY done this with my MPx220, I am NOT sure if it will work on other phones.

At the home screen, dial *31#[SEND] you should be able to hide your number when making phone calls. It is permanent, however, so whenever you want to allow somebody to see your number, dial #31#[SEND] and it will deactivate. Its an oldie but goody.

Those are GSM code, they will work on any GSM phone. I use it all the time.

Hi,

I have turned on Clear Type per the instructions, restarted the phone (MPx 220) but when I try to change the Quality in the registry with Mobile Registry Editor, I don't have access to change the default value of 1.

In some ROM-s for MPx220, it is impossible to change certain values in registry. It isn't even possible to start some of the programs like OmapClock. You should pair your device with PC with activesync and then start on PC program called SDA ApplicationUnlock.
