I8000 registry and device handling
The program below allow to esily set some of the system functions and can check the GSM, the FM Radio and the GPS status and functionality.There is a PDA Fan Club forum about it(unfortunately in Hungarian language)

You can download the program for free: Smart.cab 2.3.1 version:

Attention

Version 2.3 has a bug resulting exception when the scrollbar size were too small - corrected.

Version 2.2 has a bug resulting to kill the BT input voice. That was because of the erroneous writing of the Audiogain.dat file - instead the BVL value the program always written the OVL.... Sorry

New:

Program usage:

Registry panel. Here you can find many system settings which are changable through the Registry.

Registry

At the top there is the device type/ID from the registry ( mine is GT-I8000KKAXSO ) , the meanings of the letters: KK unknown, A..E maybe the series, last 3 letter is the provider/origin XSO: Singapore, TMH: T-mobile Hungary, PAN: Pantel Hungary, etc.
In the case the ROM version not support the keys below they will be grayed out..

A Switch off Backlight: Disable the automatic backlight switching on when tap. This feature is useful to read e-books in a dark room, because the minimal backlight is very bright in dark environment ( HKCU/ControlPanel/Backlight/BacklightOnTap and ACBacklightOnTap)
ACL: In the case the vaue is 1 the backlight depend from the light conditon, otherwise the backlight value will be the Brigt .

Use Touchwiz UI: If set, enabling the Samsung Touchwiz user interface. ( HKCU/ControlPanel/LargeDisplay/UseLargeDisplay )

Threaded SMS: Enabling the Samsung threaded SMS view ( HKLM/Software/Samsung/JINBOX/ThreadedViewDisabled )

Original Settings: If set, the Startmenu will be the Samsung one, otherwise the original WM. ( HKCU/ControlPanel/LargeDisplay/UseLargeDisplay )

Samsung Dialer: Enabling the Samsung or use the original one( HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/Enabled )

Front Camera: If set, the CIF camera can be choose from the Shooting modes (Self) ( HKCU/Software/Samsung/Camera/SupportFrontCamera )

GLYPH Cache size: The size of the font rendering cache ( HKLM/System/GDI/GLYPHCACHE/limit0 )

GWES Poweroff: Enabling the gwes.exe power management functions ( HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Power/DisableGwesPowerOff

Defrag Memory: Defrag memory always when program closed ( HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Shell/NeverDorkMemory

Disable Today: When active, the Today scree will be NOT loaded at start ( in the case you have alternative, for ex. MS ) ( HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Enabled )

Original Settings: If set, the Startmenu will be the Samsung one, otherwise the original WM. ( HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/HideSettings )

Show Orientation: Enabling the screen rotation in the menus ( HKLM/System/GDI/Rotation/HideOrientationUI )

Security warning: Enabling or disabling the security warning popup messages

Scrollbars size H/V: The horizontal and vertical scrollbar sizes, apply just after soft reset!

Touch response: The minimum touch time, high=unresposible 0=very responsive display

GPRS Ddisconnect time: the time until a nonused GPRS data connection remain active

The box below contains all the GPRS data connection ( WAP,MMS,NET ). Selecting one shows the status enabled/disabled. Touch the disabled checkbox revert the state and will be automatically enabling/disabling the future data connection over this entry. This can be used as the nodata program!!

Audio panel. All the Omnia2 audio settings you can change here.The gains and attenuations all are coming from a common text file, naming \Windows\Audiogain.dat - this file contains the settings of all of the 17 possible audio device. You can edit it with any text editor, but the changes will be applied after a soft reset. The settings below you made will be permanent over sooft resets and aply when you touch the green button. The changable parameters are quite the same as in the Audiogan.exe, but that program is quite unusable due of the user interface ( binary numbers, etc). The minimum/maximum settings of the trackbars constrained to avoid the sound malfunctions, but please set these values carefully!

Registry
  • At the top combobox you can select the audio device - all the trackbars set accordingly. In the case you touch the Force output checkbox, all the audio out will be directed to this device.
  • The first 3 trackbars (spk,left,right) set the speaker and the left/right earphone sound level. I'm in 99% sure that these values are trasferred to the MAX 9877 chip ( the sound amplifier) directly
  • The meanings of the second 3 trackbars are questionable: the hpg is the amplifier power (maybe the chip volaltage), the l1v and l3v some type of input gains.
  • The ovl and ovr trackbars set the left/right channel attenuaton, so lower value=louder sound
  • The Set/Save button sets all the trackbar values, so the changes you can hear....
  • The Reset defaults button sets all the trackbar values to its default state, in the case you don't remeber the previous good value, you can use this..
  • GFMAPI settings: these are the registry values for my GFMAPI driver, msec s the radiochip query time (nominal 9x ms), minRSSI is the minimum signal level when tuning the radio,Log is the type of the GFMAPI log, place at \My device\gfmapi.txt. Always on is when set and GFMAPI is running, periodically simulate a keypress to avoid the device going to sleep. HGPS log switch on the HyperGPS log.

GSM panel: Basic information regarding your GSM network. These are the known values for the WM (through RIL.DLL) about the GSM chip state

Start FMRadio Start the Original Samsung application

The radio working well without an eaphone, but the signal level in this case very low. Fortunatelly the 3.5 jack outest parts is the antenna connector, so there is a possibility to use just this connecting antenna.

The type of the radio chip is Silicon Labs Si7409

GPS : these informations also coming through the ril.dll so these values are known by the WM
