For anyone that owns a Verizon HTC TouchPro 2, here’s a bunch of fixes and utilities that I’ve found that fix a lot of annoying things about the device. Enjoy.
- DISABLE “SENT MESSAGE” NOTIFICATION?
Have you used the SMS text messaging on the device and gotten annoyed by the stupid dialog box that keeps popping up that reads, “Sent Message”? This CAB file applies a registry change that stops notifying you of the sent text message every time you send one.

Did you ever notice that it takes an eternity to end a phone call when you hit the red “END” button? (To be more accurate, it takes 3 seconds for the call to end from the moment you press ‘END’) This is a software/registry tweak believe it or not and you can actually end the call in a single second. Simply copy over this .CAB file to your device and double click on it. It’ll make the right registry change and upon rebooting, you’ll find that calls end in 66% less time.

Does your device get noticeably slower as you use it? The primary reason for this is that RAM is not relinquished by applications that are dormant making performance difficult for applications that are actively running. The easiest way is to simply have your device do some housekeeping on a regular basis to ensure that memory is always available to applications that need it. cleanRAM is a free program that will regularly sweep your device on a scheduled basis (hourly if you want) to ensure it’s running tip top.

The speakerphone on the HTC Touch Pro 2 is one of the best mobile phone speakerphones ever – the quality if fantastic and the availability of a mute button on the back is a great touch, but the volume could be louder. Fortunately, this is just a software modification. Install this mod to increase the maximums speakerphone volume.

It turns out that most of the registry tweaks on your phone are already documented and don’t really require you to go trouncing through the registry. Scrollbar dimensions, colors, TCP window sizes, etc. There’s a program called HD Tweak that provides most of these registry changes in a simple, easy to apply fashion.

Want more? How about a program that allows you to remap the buttons & keys on the button to do other things and execute other programs? There’s a lot of other .CAB files and utilities available here:
