Adjust sensitivity of touchscreen? - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I have seen mention of a registry setting to adjust the sensitivity of the touchscreen - especially useful after adding a screen protector.
Does anyone know what setting it is?

hi, are you referring to this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282063

That thread mentions the method described here:

Unfortunately, the listed registry path/key does not exist on the Hermes, or at least, not on mine. A search of the registry for 'touch' finds two possible paths, but neither contain a 'threshold'-related key. It may be possible that creating the key might work, but I'd rather be sure first.

ok.
btw, you do have HKLM/Software/Drivers/Touch in your Hermes, don't you?

I have heard it can be change by editing the registry, but I have never try it, since I am still learning on how to load the ROM and things like that
Well, I also know that it is done through registry. Would somebody be kind enough to list the required registry enteries?

How to adjust contrast in HTC Hermes Screen?

I am a newbie here. I just want to know if there is a registry tweak on how can I adjust the display contrast/saturation of my Hermes. My brother has a HTC Tytn and the screen display seems to be more briliant than my HTC Hermes Softbank. Thanks.
I don't know about the contrast/saturation, but you will get a more brilliant screen if you adjust the brightness...

The brightness adjustment is set at the maximum level in both units and still the screen display of HTC TyTn of my brother is more colorful and briliant than my HTC Herm Softbank.
I can get a contrast icon to show up by adjusting the registry
open regedit and make changes then do a softreset
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Contrast
and renaming the "Redirect" value to "Redirect_" (or rename to something else, or remove it completley).
but I cant get it to adjust the contrast but it works in my Axim though maybe someone else can figure something out
I think this is one of those I didn't know I didn't know that moments
I did a bit of searching and came up with this link for the axim http://www.aximsite.com/boards/archive/index.php/t-10559.html It appears that this registry tweak only works if you have video drivers loaded which support the contrast feature. It worked for aximfan on his axim but not for other axim users so I guess this is the same for Hermes users.
@docles2002 - Can you check if you and your friend have the same video drivers? (I don't know how to do this (yet) so you'll need to search a bit).

It has nothing to do with the contrast.
Back to the subject: as has been pointed out in some of my articles (guys, DO FOLLOW MY BLOG / DO READ THE ARTICLES I POST TO THE GENERAL FORUM HERE!!!), you can't set the contrast on any Pocket PC except the Dell Axim x50v/x51v, which has the 2700G and, therefore, enables contrast settings.

Date on Today screen on one line problem

I've applied the registry setting to change it to one line, but, for whatever reason, it doesn't work at all.
I've tried using SKTools to change it, as well as direct registry modification, but neither works. I'd like to get the real estate back on my screen.
I've done Google searches, and searched this forum, but noone seems to know why it doesn't work when it's supposed to.
I've got the Black Satin WM6 ROM on an HTC TyTN.
Can anyone help, please?
Search for Aldate and LVMTime.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a solution to the problem, not another app to replace it.
Anyone know why this happens, and how to actually fix it?

[TIPS] Improve Screen Sensitivity Of Your WinMo (.cab) UPDATE 25/4/11

Hi,
I have found tips over the forums on how to improve the screen sensitivity of your WinMo resistive touchscreen
1) When calibrating your screen, tap the cursor hairs as accurately and as lightly as possible. I use a toothpick for this, it has a fine tip. You will notice immediately how much more responsive your screen is!
2) Another method I found was:
a) Install Attached .cab / Reg Tweak
b) Soft Reset
c) Be Amazed at your Screen Sensitivity!
This is a little .cab file / reg tweak created by kevinpwhite (all credits to him)
EDIT: Many people in the thread have said that it has calibrated their screen wrong and they can't navigate it (cab/reg) This has resulted in a hard reset to get the touchscreen back(due to different touchscreen resolutions etc) I will investigate more into this and create a new version, if possible. Please use it at your own risk, and be sure to create a backup of your device.

Hi, dudes, my HTC WIZARD gets "untouchable" after this installation, but i found the way to solve it! =D
1- Download: CeRegEdit (u can found it on Google, with this u can explore your mobile reg trough your PC)
2- Open it (with your cell phone connected in ActiveSync)
3- Go to Tools, and select "Unlock registry" (your registry will be "Editable")
4- Navigate to:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH] and change this values to your defaults:
"CalibrationData" and "MaxCalError" (you have to found the values for your phone, here in XDA i foud the values for my phone)
5- Softreset
I hope to help someone, and i hope than no one had to make an horrible hardreset

This was created specifically for the TG01, but i think that the WinMo stored values are the same across all devices. It simply changes a reg key to increase the screen pressure to the max.
Please give me feedback if it works for you!
Please hit the THANKS BUTTON if you like this!
well, this just ****ed over my omnia, and i can't access it from my computer as i dont have a connect cable. any tips on how to bring it back to normal without hard reset?

please read the xda rules... no bad language.
This cannot possibly cause ANY damage. i have tested it on various winmo devices (touch hd etc) if so, explain?
Also describe your problem better. how is that gooing to help me, by just saying it ________ my Omnia!

i've tested in my O2 LIFE WM6, at the first time i got trouble, i couldnt tap my screen well. when i tapped all screen, it connected to bottom right screen.
i used my navigation button to reach the SETTING-SYSTEM-SCREEN-ALIGN SCREEN.
the align screen works. then i used a srynge to calibrate it (dont try this at home), the final result is........
WORKS GREAT LIKE A CHARM!!
my screen becomes more sensitive! I dont need my stylus anymore, with resco keybord typing is so much fun.
THANK YOU..

this sets your screen sensitivity to the maximum allowed pressure point. So your resisitive touch screen will require a light touch to register changes.
This is what loads of people complain about? Poor screen sensitivity? So try this out!!
I didn't feel any difference in my Rhodium...

I've installed on my diamond 2 and I have been the same as the other: to do a reset, I have completely lost the calibration of the screen. Through "My mobile" I could recalibrate it, but do not notice any difference ...

Thanks for trying amyway! It certainly works for me though. It just recalibrates the reg entries for screen sensitivity. It wont male a huge difference!

No one else to try?
Just used the Calibration method on my Rhodium400, seems to work, but maybe it's just my head!

thabks for the feedbakc! glad it works!
I always thought that this couldn't really be done. Tried many before and didn't see a difference. Then again I can't help myself so I will try this out too.
why didn't you come up with this earlier? i wasted two years using my htc jade with this insensitivity, finally a solution
thank you so much
Okay, I will try it now, but we need to know if there are a way to uninstall it safely in case if anything wrong happen like that one who had the Omnia, also you should type if we have to recalibrate the screen points after installing the tweak on all devices or what.
Thanks in advance.
tried it on my hTC Gene (P3400) running 6.5.5 and i got the same problem mentioned in post #5...dead unresponsive screen with a few taps being wrongly located towards the bottom right of the screen...so had to go into the screen setting via my D-pad and re-align the screen to enable it again
i think problem has something to do with the screen resolution (mine is qvga)
faced similar issues when trying a screen sensitivity improvement hack meant for wvga screens i found somewhere within the forums...
anyways nice job...its great to see some people still trying to make an effort to keep WinMo going!! keep up the good work!!

first try method one of calibrating your screen on your own
if you try method two of installing the cab thenall you have to do is run the cab file and soft-reset your device
if its worked, and we hope it does, then that should be it, you should have a screen which is more responsive
if you get a frozen screen just navigate to settings/system/screen and align your screen again to get it to work using the direction keys if you have them or by any other means
or hard reset to undo the settings
i'm just sharing whatever info i have...do tell me if i've left anything out

[Q] Problem flipped screen

Hello,
I just got my LG optimus 7 but I encountered my first problem immediately.
When the screen flips to the horizontal position it does not come back to straight position when i hold my phone in that position. Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Many thanks!

Possibly by changing/deleting registry keys.
You should have all keys and values under \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\Accelerometer
I haven't fully explored it so I can't say exactly what key/value you need to change, but I'd guess the important value would be the Dll that holds the name of the dll used by the accelerometer.
I haven't tried this though so be warned I might be totally off on this, most likely there are others on the forums that know more.

I just recalibrated the accelerometer using the MFG-tool I found here on the forum.
Works fine now!

Yes, I fear the my next (probably in one or two year) purchase of a new WP7 device that will not come with a MFG app...
