I can't change some of my registry settings after I flashed to the new Qtek rom (I have a Cingular 8125)...
Why am I blocked from changing these settings? Ext Rom issues? How can I get around them?
which settings? I'm using the latest K-Jam ROM and I have run into that yet.

I'm trying to enable ClearType in Landscape mode
==================
Enable ClearType in Landscape Mode:
Go to: HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation
* Change Value from 1 to 0
==================
When I try to change this setting I get the following message:
"Error Setting Value: Access is Denied"
It also happens with a few others I have tried, but not with all settings.
I also get edit the setting to force GPRS to stay connected all the time. This is getting really annoying
I have the problem with my backlight settings.
It can only be on 10sec or off.
When I put it on 30sec and go into suspend it will be on 10sec when I start the device.
Qtek 2.17 New Rom
does it allow you to change the setting and when you go back in, it's reverted back to the original setting?
If this is the case, give me a reg key that you're seeing the issue with and I'll give it a shot...

I really hate issues like this that no one has any knowledge about...
One side-effect of this latest Dopod-gps-rom is that ClearType is disabled, and there's no control panel applet for it.
I have set the correct registry values to enable it nonetheless, but it gets disabled again after soft-reset.
Is there any way to permanently enable cleartype, or to stop the soft-reset changing these values? Where do I start to look, extended rom?
thanks!
Edit:
* Solved: I was looking for ClearType applet, but this setting is also in Settings|System|Screen|ClearType
* Solved also for Landscape modus: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15688
Make sure you made the change to the following registry key
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell
Change the value for NoClearType from 1 to 0.
This unlocks the ClearType option.
You may then go to Today->Settings->System->Screen. Now the ClearType tab is shown and you can enable it there.
Probably because of an incompatibility with the new TouchFlo interface, HTC has disabled manual switching to landscape mode on the Jade. This in itself is already a disadvantage. It is particularly bad for Opera because the very useful landscape option is now also absent from its context menu. The good news is: There is an easy way out: Just unlock the registry and change
"HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI" from "1" to "0"
and you can rotate to your hearts delight. The respective button is now available in "Settings - Screen" - and the option is also available in Opera's context menu! Note, however, that whenever you go back to TouchFlo's today screen it will rotate back to vertical. If you want to run a program in landscape it is thus best to first start the program and then use the start button access "Settings - Screen". In Opera, however, this is not necessary.
Thanks for this Information!
hi there,
thanks for this new hack- you can also set a shortcut for orientation with sktools which you then can start from the launcher
cheers
Landscape Mode and writing messages
Hi everybody,
i tried this setting for landscape mode and it is working well.
But only thing i noticed. If i want to try a message in landscape mode, the keyboard is not displayed correctly - some letters are missing.
Does anybody have the same issue?
thx
simon
It's weird that landscape mode exists in Opera 8.65 without that hack in registry, but in Opera 9 does not Any ideas?
I say that because this mode is very useful for internet browsing, not so in other applications.
I have the same problem with the keyboard in landscape mode, maybe this can be resolved by installing another on screen keyboard?

hi, you first need a registry editor. i use phm regedit, but if u search you'll find also other program that do the same. install it on jade, run and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation\ (tapping the "+" on the left of the voice, and finally tapping "rotation"), you'll find 4 voices, tap on HideOrientationUI, and set on "value data" = "0" instead of "1". tap ok, exit the program, softreset et voilà! now you can find the button on settings\system\display.

Thanks for your answer IL_mante, its works perfect for my HTC VIVA.
Also use:
"HKLM\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation" from "1" to "0"
to keep your text looking pretty.

Click on the little triangle on the bottom center of the screen next to the keyboard icon and select the standard keyboard.
my phone's screen always in vertical mode. but when i want to use horizontal screen to type sms, i will use QuickMenu to change screen from H-V. simple and no registry tweak at all. it is alright for me even though the screen will revert back to horizontal mode when it goes back to home screen.

After enabling rotation in the registry, you can also assign long-press of left hardware button to rotate the screen...
Just go to Start>Settings>Personal>Buttons... Just select <Rotate Screen> from the choices for Button 1...
hi i enabled landscape in registry, assigned to long press green button, works well to this point. problem is that when in landscape, keyboard doesnt show up... htc one, nor FingerKeyboard i installed...
when in portrait, kezboard shows up, i switch to landscape and it's gone...
htc's full qwerty keyboard wasn't showing landscape from the beginning, always portrait only...
another problem, when i switch to lanscape when in TotalCommander, screen reverts back to portrait immediately... just like in manila.
any suggestions?
is there any portrait fullscreen keyboard?
EDIT: problem solved. after uninstalling FingerKeyboard from Storage, everything works ok... seems that system tools is better to keep in main memory
How do you turn your phone into landscape mode and how do you access the quick list?
You got to enable screen rotation, then rotate in Start/Settings/System/Screen.
I cant find anything called rotation, only orientation?
you can use a program like Gsen to auto rotate the screen with the G sensor, or to enable it use TF3D Config and you can enable it in the tweaks tab
if you use TF3D - then you can see it in settings/systems/screen
also you can use the settings/buttons and set it to work with holding down key 1 (its if you hold down the send key) if you want to control it manually

Orientation is what are you looking for.
hm i am also looking for this setting but i do not have this option on my diamond (german version)
You have this option, but HTC hide it
To enable it:

hi,
thanks.
so i was using the cleartype app and if enabled the home screen text gets jagged. it is smooth if cleartype is disabled. also where can i get the app for landscape mode with cleartype?
on tmous hd2.
Funnily enough i was browsing for reg keys related to cleartype just 20 minutes ago, and i came across this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings
has a Dword value named OffOnRotation with a value of 1
try switching that to 0. ( i dont have a landscaped rom, so cant test it)
