Mobile Registry Editor for Asus

As you begin to play around more with your phone, you realize being a windows device there is not too much you can change without being able to open the registry and make some tweaks here and here.

In one of my earlier posts I had talked about using Total Commander as a a registry editor but it still is quite difficult to navigate in the small screen and make changes using your stylus. Wouldn't it be great to be able to make all these changes from a computer with a a key board ?

Well that just what this program does , its called Mobile Registry Editor v1.1 from Breaksoft. Unfortunately I could not find the original site as the page was down however I was able to find an alternative download here

http://www.mediafire.com/?xyn0znz0tmd

The way the application works is that it connect to the registry on your mobile phone once you have connected it to your computer via activesync. You just need to run the MobileRegistryEditor.exe on your computer.

It will pop up the following screen on your computer. You should be able to navigate the entire registry just as you would with regedit on your windows machine. Have just browsed the registry using my mouse ....





In case you want to make can changes you could either just double click on an existing entry and make a change



In case you need to add an entry , it can be done by using the right click on the location you are required to make the addition in

Asus P320 File / Communication Manager

Windows Mobile 6.1 does have its own file manager but its quite limited in its capability. There is the really neat application that I use called Total Commander. The main screen of the application looks like this ....


Just like the windows file manager you can browse all your directories including the storage card by just clicking on each of the items. You can do the standard stuff like copy a file, renaming it, moving a file, creation /deletion of directories and file as seen below



Additionally for viewing there are various options to see the files and folder via a tree mode / large icons etc for your easy navigation. This can be brought up by selecting the show button at the bottom of the screen as shown below.


Now onwards to the really cool part of the application :)

It has an built in text editor, that allows you to type and create files a shown below.





It has the capability to browse zip files, they show up as a small cube, on selection you could extract it to your required directories.

It also has the three following plugins for

ftp / LAN / Registry editor, to activate this select plugins in the root directory as shown below


It will show the following options


On selecting ftp, you will get the following screen pop up which requires the details for setting up an ftp connection as shown below


It also has a functional registry editor that can be used for minor changes for the registry, the navigation is similar to that of the file manager as seen below


The best part is that the application is free and is available here ....

Asus P320 Music Player

If you are looking for a cool interface but basic music player then S2P is the player for your Asus P320. It has a complete touch interface.


It plays wav, mp3, wmv files. Regarding all the other formats I haven't tried but I believe that most of us out there have our music in the mp3 format. At the bottom is the volume control that can be dragged left or right. The other buttons on the bottom are for the next and previous song.

The back arrow on the top left brings you to the complete song list that can be seen below.


If you run your finger down the screen you can move to the album browser as you can see below two screen shots




Unfortunately the album browsing is really really resource intensive and slows down like crazy. This is like the one time I really wished that the phone had a faster processor on board.

If you press on the top right of the screen as shows below you will be taken to the mini album browser





You can make a selection and get back to the main screen. Ofcourse if you want the album art to come up on the screen while playing the music you need to tag all your music with the respective album art. This mean you need to store the music of each artist in their respective folder and keep the album art image in the same folder with the name folder.jpg

The software is currently free and is located at the following location. you could check and download the latest version.

Asus Applications - Home, PointUI

Hi, its been quite some time and I haven't had a chance to update this blog. Want to take you all through this wonderful application that I can't manage without and I personally believe its a must have !

Its called Home, made by a company called PointUI. It sits on top of Windows Mobile and allows you to control your device quite a bit without having to take out your stylus for every little task. It is a Today screen replacement plus application launcher and it looks like this .....


What I really like about this application are the following

1. very light, takes only 3MB during runtime.
2. Its not at all very CPU intensive because the ASUS doesn't have the best processor on board.
3. It extremely simple to use.
4. Very easy installation, can be easily stopped at anytime.
5. It uses the entire screen, which is important when your devices is a little smaller.
6. It seemlessly moves between its own shell and the actual windows programs once opened.
7. Works with the buttons available for navigation.
8. Believe it or not, its free !!!


The screen can be shifted by flicking right or left to move to your calendar items / pending tasks / Weather as can bee seen in the screen shots below.






It has a soft lock/ screen option located on the top left , that once activated looks like this ...



The next icon the top of the signal strength take you to the following Wireless Manager screen.


The next icon on the screen takes you to the screen where you can change your ring type to vibration / silent or your ring volume.



The battery icon on the top take you to this screen


The last icon on the top takes you to the configuration page where you would end up reaching by programs ---> Settings


To move between menu you need to flick across the screen


Navigation in any screen is by flicking up down on your screen as show below ...


That complete what are the option on the top of the screen, on the bottom you have Recent Calls / Email / SMS / Recent programs as the large icons with the Contact list and program below them, the Contact list looks like this ...


Navigation here as well is by flicking your finger up / down.

The last screen I am posting is of the program files to be used to launch applications.

What I really like about this application are the following

1. very light, takes only 3MB during runtime.
2. Its not at all very CPU intensive because the ASUS doesn't have the best processor on board.
