I'm curious if its possible to disable the align screen shortcut on the Wizard (Enter Button in center plus Messages Button) Its really annoying when playing Doom or an emulator in landscape and having that popup all the time. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Unfortunately i dont have an answer for you. but i do have aquestion that i hope youcan answer. I got myself a doom launcher. It works well, but the control setup is terrible on the wizard. If i play in portrait mode, the fire button is the left soft key. So i ahve to fire with the same finger that i use to move. That makes the game unplayable. What launcher are you using and where did you get it?
I haven't done any testing or trying yet, but here is my idea...
what if you rename the align screen app, just so it stops it from launching?

Its called GF Doom (I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got it or whom made it. Although if the creator see's this I would love for him/her to PM me as I also have some questions.) Anyway the launcher shouldn't control the Key Mapping, usually thats done in some sort of config file. With the program that I have the keys are mapped in the skin file's txt document.
Try this, unzip all contents into your storage card and run the launcher you should get Doom, Doom II, and Plutonia (sometimes called Ultimate Doom) as well as a 3rd party mod called Evilution. Keep the default skin, with that the keys I have mapped are:
The directional Buttons for Movement, Messages button for Fire and strafe(I would like to change strafe to volume up/down or Internet but have not been able to if you can figure this out let me know), and the softkeys for Select and Start.
The screen defaults to protrait with your choosen skin. To play in full landscape start the game in the options change the resolution to "low" and it will switch, Hope this helps
I can't seem to get the attachment to work here is the link ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/
the file is pocket doom.zip
A Flock of Seagulls are in my Wizard
It would be awesome to find a way to disable this. Is there maybe an entry in the registry that corresponds to what key combination turns on the align screen program. Maybe it could be changed to some combination of keys that is very unlikely to be executed simultaneously.
Until then, I'll continue to drink foo-foo drinks to calm myself while trying to play any action games.

Dragonedge:
What version of GF Doom do you have? Maybe I have an old version. When I enter full screen mode, the soft keys are shoot and strafe, while the message/IE buttons are menu and escape. I have to use the same hand to shoot as I do to move.
Thanks for the tip about full screen, I would never have figured that out. Now I'm not dissapointed with the program anymore.
Lol, funny posts. Is this still a problem? Does it need investigating?

I still have the problem........ working on some things now.

Not sure what version it is. Check out the ftp I uploaded a zip file with everything I use. Also you can edit the skin files to remap the softkeys as well as the messaging and internet keys. All the information about remapping the buttons is in the skins folder in a txt file names Skin Specs.

The only problem I had was being able to map the message and internet buttons as different keys. Also I would like to use the volume slider as a left and righ strafe but could not seem to get that mapped either. Any help there would be great.
I've made an app to disable this - VJCalibrula for Universal and Hermes.
Wizard requires a slightly different hack, and I don't have one to test on.
dragonedge: what hardware/ROM are you using? I'll try to get you to alpha test if you want.

I wouldn't mind at all . I have the T-mobile MDA/Wizard with the 2.26 ROM
An app to disable this would be handy another idea that would be nice is an app that would let you specify another button combination for system shortcuts would be awesome.
VJCalibrula - disable align screen settings (alpha)
Guys, please give this a go.
I don't think it supports AKU 3.2 for now. Soon...

Hi, I usually slide open just to power on the phone.
So, I would like nothing to happen when I slide the phone open when on the today screen..
Does somebody have an idea how to do this?
Are you talking about the Keypad QuickTasks?
You can easily find the option on Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Keypad QuickTasks
Yes, I mean the dialpad quicktasks.
When this is disabled I get the dialer instead.
As a "workaround", you could just press the red "hangup" button after opening the phone to return to the home screen...

That will be cool!
Oh.. I've been using a certain "Yet another lock app" v1.2 or something like that... and I always set mine to lock and suspend everytime I do a right to left sweep (via FTouchFo). And everytime I slide the keypad, it automatically unlocks and nothing comes up; no quicktasks nor phoneapp). I'm not kidding... I don't know if it's a good "side-effect", but that's how it works.
can you post a link or the cab?
I hate the search function!

I actually prefer this than any other locking app out there since this app uses the same built-in Device Lock program with a few nice modifications.
Enjoy!
Optional Alternative
I wrote a mortscript file to disable both menus
1. Extract
2. Place "Kill" folder in Program Files
3. Place run.mscr in startup
4. Reset
Enjoy
Simple fix for this
Hi there,
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.

Agreed Thanks fenallen
i've come accross a problem - a reset seems to wipe the settings and has reverted to showing the phone screen???
Well it seems to survive a soft reset as well as power cycles with the battery removed so I presume you mean a hard reset, in which case ... isn't that the point of a hard reset?
I would be amazed/worried if it wasn't set back to default by a hard reset.
nope, i am on about a soft reset! i'll try again to see if it keeps the settings this time
Im happy to say it works fine, after i made a soft reset.
power on/off
it´s posible to change the action of the power buton hardkey?
thanks
I don't know if this is something you can do, but can you find a way to do this on the tf3d?:
1) Edit the "calender" button on the main screen so I can choose it to launch Pocket Informant calender instead of the normal calender?
2) Edit the ammount of agendas to be shown on the main screen? I mean,it only displays like two?
3) Get rid of the call history on the main screen for more room.
4) Make it so if I click on the clock, it won't go to the clock editing screen? Twice my time changed when I had it in my pocket. I REALLY wish the power button on my FUZE was as harder to push as the one on the Tilt.
5) Get rid of the delay when going from one tab to another? I don't mean the heavy delay on the contacts tab, but the 1-2 second pause when going from one tab to another? I think the pause is from a screen fade or something.
And this one would be hard:
1) Would it be possible to make the clock 50% smaller so more appointments show on the main screen without swiping to the secondary main screen?
Anybody? I think the clock one might be possible, but haven't found a small one yet.
Hey!
1. & 4. It is possible there is a little prog out here that redirects that buttons.
5. I think is not possible because it caused by a lag cpu power sometimes
The rest: +1
I was thinking the same about the home screen. But there are some heavy problems.
-No SDK --> Everything has to be coded in tf3d's mode9/lua language/script mix that is hardly known. Especially editing mode9 is a pain in the ass at this time, cause there is no documentation and everything has to be cracked. Anyway, there are a few people that understand the platform enough to be able to somthing like that.
I was working on a semiautomated mode9 editor but havn't got the time... perhaps I will resume that project one day.
Then it would be possible...

are you talking about the softkey. the 'button' at the bottom of the screen? you can edit your softkeys by editing the keys in this directory:
Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila key in your registry
homeRSK is right softkey.
No, not the two soft buttons. The one that's actually in TF3D. The one that says Calender on the TODAY part of the screen

Hi guys,
as u know know the TF3D by default takes up the 1st panel.
and when i try to use the other panels..i can no longer press the button X... because whenever i do that..the entire Xperia screen goes blank and hangs up. then even the power button doesnt work and i have to remove and reinsert the battery.
what to do?
this TF3D causing major issues.. is it bugged?
Doing a soft reset is way easier...open the battery cover, pull out the pen und put it in the small hole...
Are you using TF3D as panel or on the default today panel? If not already tried, use the TF3D-Pnaleinstaller here ion the forum...
When i try to access the panels, my X1 hangs most of the time as well, using it as the today screen. Is there any fix?
ya i use it as on Today screen.
is there a fix around this?
i disabled it now anywya.
btw does Soft Reset also delete all the data?
"btw does Soft Reset also delete all the data?"
no thats the diff between soft and hard reset
which version r u guys using? I am using beta2 and I dont have any problem switching panels... only flaw I have in the tf3d is I cant add some people to the favorite list for some reason... otherwise everything is working as it should be
Same here
I wanna know if anyone found a fix for this? or at least let us know if you have this issue. This is what I have narrowed it out to.
I'm using <Touch-IT Xperience v2.1> ROM which has TF3D installed by default
The Panel interface(The screen which opens up when i click panel button) works perfect when i disable TF3D in today
Now when I activate it, am able to open the panel interface and choose any other panel.
After this, if i click on the panel button, the x1 just freezes and all i can do is soft reset
Note:- I have no other application running.
If this continues I have to choose either panels or TF3D. I love it when i can use TF3D for daily use and shift to Facebook or media panel when i need them.
I just wanna know of this indeed a bug or am i missing something big
currently 2 versions available
hi,
i too was suffering fromt he same issues and took a while to realize that the tf3d was causing it.
afaik, there are 2 different versions of tf3d (i mean by 2 diff. people) for xperia.
i beleive most of us are using the one titled 'Full manila hd cabs' (or something similar - extremely sorry for not recalling the name of the developer who's made rhe effort to provide it) - and the one experiencing the issue.
there is another version linkd on the xda wiki, will try it now - and update with names of both developers as well as results
again
actually installing TF3D as a panel solved this issue
but since we have the new manila... the panel doesnt work
so we are back to square one... by default the TF3D sit on the today's screen and after that pressing the panel button freezes the phone
And if you choose the new panel with TF3d... it says loading forever
SOmebody please help
I'm an idiot - I can't figure out where the "small hole" for the soft reset is located.
Can someone show me a picture?

hehe... I spent ages trying to figure this one out too...
here's an image I got on Google search..
to access the reset button .. you need to take off the battery cover, pull out your stylus (since that is obstructing the button) and then using the stylus 'poke' into the hole besides the battery.
I find this location - and the need to take off the battery cover - everytime you need to reset very VERY painful
Hi just wondering how it would be possible to bring the phone out of standby mode when i pull out the stylus from the phone?
The weird thing is that sometimes when i take out the stylus the screen turns on but most of the times i have to just press the button at the top to turn it on.
Would actually rather not do that but to turn on when i want to use it with the stylus.
I used Gyrator but that didn't work.
Any suggestions of apps?
anyone????
You can do that with S2U2.
Well any other programs? I hate SU2U.
Then pocketshield is the programm
I like it more then s2u2
Don't really know what advice to give you here... My HD turns on every time if I pull the stylus out, while it's in standby-mode.
The reason for why it only works some times for you can be a conflict with a program you have installed.
Gyrator works absolutely fine for this function. Can even turn th PDA off too when it is put back (although I don't use this particular function)
I use Gyrator too and it seems to work, it might even be a native HD function.. not sure as I didn't try it before.
I don't have your problem. I didn't add specific software for that however my HD wakes up every time I put stylus out.
i have duttys rom 1.7 and it does this automatically
Maybe its as easy as a registry change?
I second that nikki, my HD does it with no 3rd party programs or ROMs
As far as i remember, it is by default, but you can turn this off with advanced config or HDTweak.. can't remeber which one.
Ciao
Fred
It works like this as default indeed. Check your tweak or other programs that might interfere.
Can't find a single setting in Advanced Config or HD Tweak for anything to do with pulling out the stylus. Also tried AEBplus thinking that this would let me map the pull out action as a key, but this didn't work either.
Does anyone know the registry entry for when you pull out and put back in the stylus? I'd like to be able to set that up so it can run the notes program.
Problem with Stylus!!
has someone an answer for this?
I'd like to switch the automatic wake up off, because my stylus has some failures now, I don't know how to fix it.
Everytime I touch the side of the phone, where the stylus is placed the device is unlocked. seems to be a kind of defective contact. not sure how to explain it correctly. but it's annoying, when I pull my phone out of the pocket it unlocks, or maybe when it put it in, that's not so funny...
how can I switch the stylus-unlock-function off? any kind of registry setting?
