yes prevent telemetry option is great, i notice when i use it i don't get the privacy questions yes/no questions during the last part of windows installation, I think you can just mention that it will cause the phone section in settings to be greyed out, as practically it doesn't break any functionality, but you know this problem seems to happens with other 3rd party tools, like that famous one Winareo Tweaker, i notice the same thing happens with phone settings when i use the disable telemetry and disable ads tweaks in that app. about the news feed i tried the other tweak that says disable majority of feeds, it's working and the option disappears from taskbar right click and you have to go gpedit to enable it again. other than that, about mrp theming wallpaper, lockscreen and user picture, can you actually choose what to apply and what you don't, like for example if you want just the lockscreen but you don't want wallpaper or user picture to change, how can you do that. i know there is an option to not change lockscreen in mrp config creator, so just like that option but for other parts, is it possible
It gets a bit too complicated to adjust the theme on the fly, the lockscreen/login ones are easy, but to select just some other parts would not be worth the effort because it would be so easy to make a mistake and screw up the theme totally. As there is a lot of reg changes etc for the Telemetry option it is not easy to pin point which one causes the Phone app issue plus it most likely be one that controls a few other Telemetry sections and defeat the object of blocking any telemetry. I try to balance the risk to reward in the tweaks, sometimes i cant get the required result but a compromise has to be made and i think in this instance with the Phone app what happens is that compromise in effect.
The GUI QT is expanding slowly... Added: Splash screen mentioning that it is querying the device... takes a few seconds for it to show main GUI, this gives it time to appear. Memory - Just Installed amount at present. Network data. More System drive information. ie Secure Boot. Graphics Card info (minimum at moment ie name, ram, deviceID) -- I am hoping the vram is shown ok for over 4GiB... It still not perfect yet as need to add more error checking but it works.
Did a screen record 2 gif but cant add it this shown the gui as it is at the moment and the tabs etc in a 'video' Hopefully @Enthousiast may be able to do a gif video of it Will have to test on a winpe, it should work as no .net required, unless the grfx pshell bit needs it. Not sure if it works on w7 yet as no pc to test it on. But as it still in alpha/early beta stage there is still a way to go. Happy how it going, better than i had expected. Dmi and slic/msdm is going to test my patience as this programming language is a challenge in it self as doing more than i ever have with autoit.
At least it not crash like my previous test Network detection still needs work as it weird how autoit reads wmi in that area.
Im hoping the Grfx VRAM detection will work with cards that have more than 4GB , had to use a PowerShell script to attempt to decode the 64 bit info. If it not work then PS is not that good either with large numbers
As mentioned on the post that it is possible that it may not be 100% stable... I have done the best i can to prevent crashes for this test release. I will remove the download by end of today so if you want a test grab a copy now Reason is that i will be updating it again soon and when happy i will probably upload the new test one over the next few days.
Firmware boot type - Unknown, that is what is returned by the query , i have no 'unknown' variable set up to show Network adapters can only have 6 devices shown - for some reason i cant obtain the same results like in batch script using WMIC even though i am using the WMI system...
At least it not crashed out If anyone has a Graphix card with more than 4gb vram i hope it will show the correct amount, if not pshell is as bad as cmd script / WMIC for large numeric results!
On laptop at moment and no VM can be run on it or it so slow i be waiting a week so cant set a dummy vram to 5gb etc
