Official Q9M Hack Thread - Page 2 - Motorola Q Forum

I moved the link to messaging from my start menu to a different folder. Because I did this, anytime I push the text messaging button on my phone (to the right of the 0/? key), I get an error alert "cant open shortcut". I cant exit this error, thus basically crashing my phone and forcing me to restart.

Anyone know the registry hack for the Q9M to fix this? Change the shortcut for that button?

Hi, maybe I'm a bit dense with direvtories but I downloaded resco editor to my phone and not what you you go to to type or to find that "H_KEY" command string that you refer to in order to get to control panel to find these sound files. Can you give me some insight ? I'm a quick learner...THANKS !

I am using PHM Registry Editor. I have looked for the HKLM/SYSTEM/GWE, but all paths begin with HKEY, and not HKLM. This is a noobie error, would you be able to shed some light on this?

I believe I saw that another thread post refers to HKLM as a "tech" abbreviation and not an actual path. Resco editor only shows HKEY on mine and I was able to do all of the posted hacks with those paths. Good luck...

Some great tweaks here. Anybody figure out how to remap some of the keys? I'm looking to remap the windows media key to another exe. All I can find is the old Q key maps but they don't seem to apply to this new phone.

Also - any ideas how to tweak the fonts in the inbox so that you can fit more message headers in your inbox?

Downloaded program and it looked promising. however, when I got into the button config, the windows media button isn't listed. So i try to add it as a new button but everytime I press it, it fires up WMPlayer and AEButton can't trap the value of the button. Any ideas?

Hey folks,

I didn't see this one here, so I wanted to post it in case anyone wants to change their homepage from the default Verizon page.

You'll need a registry editor, - I use PHM Registry Editor which you can download here:

http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}

Anyway, once you have it, you will need to navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/INTERNET_EXPLORER/ABOUTURLS

Modify the "home" key to include whatever landing page you want to use. Just make sure to keep the "http://" in front of the URL or it will not work.

Cheers

I believe that HKLM typically refers to the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" path.
