Yes - as long as your touch screen is still working.
My usual disclaimer: I have a German TyTN, so the menu and program names may be slightly different on yours.
Go to Start -> Settings -> System. Tap the "Erase Memory" (?) icon, and follow the instructions on the screen.
Hope that hepls

done
thanks Daniel, I did it.
unfortunately the front buttons still do not work and I think it's an hw pb.

Cleartype in landscape mode reg hack problem

I did the usual reg hack hklm/system/gdi/cleartypesettings/0 switched off phone to reset & it works for a few times but then it reverts back to normal on its own accord. Checked the reg setting & it shows 1 again. Any ideas, because its driving me mad having to change it again & again.
I use Orange SPV M3100 & PHM Regedit

same with me - when i change OffOnRotation setting to 0, reset device, then it works. but after another reset it reverts again.
Try Twkcl.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15688
Maybe the solution, it works for my Tytn:
Make the registery change as described for the wizard.
Go to landscape (keyboard slided out) en go to start, settings, system, Screen, General (must be landscape), ClearType, enable ClearType.
Then: make a softreset not using youre stylus but trough the On/Of button, or Softreset trough other possibilties.
After a couple of resets it still works till now! Just testing right now the stylus reset: result: [email protected], so that is really the problem. Using the stylus hole softreset (what's the name for it? Resetbutton for stylus?).
So again procedure as descriped above en never use the resetbutton for stylus anymore until somebody discoverd a solution for it!
Has someone did the trick allready?
I'm going to try such trick, thanks..
I think that's an HTC issue, because it happens also on Qtek 9090...
On Motorola MPx I changed reg value one time and it always worked across lots of soft resets.

i never use 'resetbutton', but always resetting device with on/off button. even with that, cleartype in landscape mode seems to be lost after couple of resets (or maybe, offs/ons).
Can anyone confirm whether or not Twkcl.exe works?
Cheers, Joe

At least you did get it to work. I have no luck with this method at all.
As I mentioned before, Twkcl.exe works well for me. Maybe you wanna try that and forget about tweaking the registry.
I think I know ur problem, try closing the reg editor from memory running programs screen before you reset. That worked for me, but am going to try twkcl now to get it to stay.
that's odd... I followed the instructions for TwkCL but it makes no difference, the reg setting goes back to normal after the 2nd reset.
I physically copied TwkCL.exe to the extended_rom, then edited the config file, that's all I need to do right?
Nothing happened so I edited the registry as normal and it just went back as usual.
Hope someone can help,
Cheers.

No need such complication....simply copy Twkcl.exe into the \Windows\Startup folder will do.
I believe the instruction is for effecting automated configuration during hard-reset so that Twkcl.exe will be copied to your STARTUP folder after each hard-reset.
Marvellous.
Thanks!

Hard buttons config

Hi all
Can anyone send me the following registry key (and subkeys) please (of the HTC TyTN / Hermes)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
I have a problem with my power button and I've discovered that some values are missing in this registry key.
P.S.: If possible, please send me the configuration from an original rom without any third party software.
Many thanks!

many thanks Mike
but "Button 6" configuration is missing... is that alright?
by default there is no configuration for this button?

Yes, until now I had not noticed that but that is indeed true on mine. I have also not carried out any customisation or even reset any of these buttons (well since last HR anyway)

Hi again Mike!
Ok, I've deleted the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C5" key and now the power button works perfectly.
I have wisbar advance 2 installed and probably, somehow I think, messing arround in his settings has created the power button mapping and that makes his behaviour anoying...
Maybe this is a solution for some other people with this problem. I've seen there are more people in the forum with the "power button problem".
Many thanks.
Power Button
Good news.
Had not seen others with the problem of the "power button" but if I spot them I'll link to here and by repeating power button problem hopefully searches will lead here!!!!
Mike

Well now, I wonder!
Perhaps you could write up a detailed piece on exactly what was happening and then the exact detail of what you did/changed. I have a pretty good picture but if you get the time the old blow by blow account would be useful.
Cheers
Mike
going to bed now-enough problems for one day!!!
Mike,
sorry but I dont know exactly what you want to say with "old blow by blow account". My native language is not english and I dont know that expression.
I can say that my power/toggle screen button becomes "non responsive" in the past couple of days, sometimes works after 3/4 presses or after a long press but other times I need to do a sw reset pressing with the stylus in the reset button/hole.
What I did to fix this malfunction is what I've described in this thread's 5 post (here)
I've used resco's Registry Editor and deleted the key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C5" and all of it's contents.
Now the power/toggle screen button works perfectly!
If you need some more information, just do has one of our tv commercial
"explains it as if I am too much donkey"
Cheers,
Nero
I'm from Portugal.. same GMT, sweet dreams
Would this make it in a wizard too?
Hi guys, I have a wizard with the power button inoperant, everything else looks work fine... I tried several tricks given in the forums and those are great to power it off but not for turning on the phone niether the display on. Would this make it in the wizard too?
Luiggi, take a backup of your registry (Everyone should before registry editing), and just try it!

Hi Guys,

Thx!
Thanks VJ

Thank you Vijay I took a look to the 8125 registry and is quite different, i´m afraid this wouldn´t work for the Wizard. I´ve tried also a couple of your programas (VJKeypress and VJEscahaton) but can´t help either, my problem is to turn the phone on (i´ve been using softreset during a connection to the power supply) and all indicates that this is a hardware issue... any thoughts?
Take a full backup (eg SPB Backup) then hardreset. Test if a clean rom still has the problem. If it does, it's a hardware issue, get it repaired.
Otherwise, if it's software, list what you've got or rebuild your installation.

It died like a hero....

I follow your advice and @ 80% of flashing stalls for awhile with the progress bar in red, after some minutes proceeded turning the progress bar in blue color and @ 95% progress I got ERROR326 : INVALID COMMAND "With the legend "This NBF file can not be used for your phone. Please check your NBF file" The screen was white with the 95% progress bar and lost connection with the PC, I tried a softreset and what I got was the tricolor scren with IPL / SPL data and RUU at the top right. I´m afraid that we have another G4 casualty...
And few hours later.......
I reflashed the phone with RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4 this time it went to the 100% progress and the congratulation screen for a succesful flashing, however stalls in bootloader screen (this time without the RUU inthe top right), whenever I do a softreset (since the on / off button still is not working) The HTC innovation splash screen shows up, then disappears and my Wizard returns to the bootloader mode. I think I should be moving to the Wizard forums, thank you VJ!

htc home customizer

has anyone else problem with the htc home customizer??
i need to take a hard reset after rebooting
Same thing
You have to change the originale HTC Home with Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen
But i prefer keep 4 tabs 'cause the display is smaller and tabs would became too small
I hv the same problem,
finally I need to restore the backup file ....
I used HHC without installing any homeplugins.
Just installed HHC and modfied the original homeplug from the device.
No problems so far.
But i have a xda star (o2 branded dual), so the roms may differ...
Same here - worked like a charm
Same here it crashed on me!! had to hard reset! I guess it only works with certain touch dual ROM's e.g. O2.
Hi Folks.. just tried the HHC also and cant enter the device lock code.. no response of any soft or hard key of my nike (o2 xda star)
any chance to solve that without hard reset? made so many customizations without backing up
Hi guys, when you installed the customizer into the phone, did you ever see an error message "Can't find the tapsetting" ? I guess this is the main problem ....
DO NOT touch the "Tabsetting" key!!
i tried to manually add the "Tabsetting" key under HTCHome... now, like after installing HHC, all soft & physical keys not responding.
hard reset in progress...
-------
(further update)
seems the HTCHome version can really handle this key... yet i couldn't find the right data type and data value to enable the music player tab.... i could only find some possible values that lead to zero tab or disabling all soft & physical keys.
Guys,
I've a worster problem that is after install htc customizer my touch Dual goes nuts and neither soft and hard reset solved the problem.
I say worster, because at this moment I even can't start my Touch Dual. It block always or in windows screen or in PIN screen and don't let me write anything.
I don't have more ideas.
CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Done
Stupid manual..... say to do ENTER to reset phone, but do not specified that enter is not exactly the enter key of keypad but it's the key in middle of direction cursors that is between RED and GREEN keys.
At least I hope this helps anyone.
UK Orange Touch Dual here, no problem with HHC at all
U have to change the language of the HHC, i had the same problem with italian HHC and English Home plugin.
After reboot, WM6 don't loads. ( sorry 4 my bad english )
Haven't encounter no problems, works smoothly and nicely.

A few UI modificaiton questions.

I've been searching around quite a bit but have been unable to find solutions for what I would like to do to my PPC.
I have a hermes running At&t wm5 with no intention of upgrading yet;
but my questions are:
1. I would like to change the icons of the programs in all of my menus such as start>programs and start>system>settings. I assume a program or patch, as well as a lot of work is needed. Any ideas how to go about doing this?
2. I want to change the 2 bottom soft keys on the today screen (phone/contacts) to Lock / Contacts. As in just hit my left hard or soft key to lock the phone.
Any help is much appreciated
(Also, sorry if this is the wrong forum)

try the attached file for this... called softkey changer.
hey. thank you for the app! I tried it but unfortunately it did not have an option to place the device lock as a soft key.
so unfortunately both problems are still left unsolved =/

Right soft key

I have a problem where no matter how many times i change the program/function of the right soft key in settings>buttons>program buttons it will allways turn back to the default (Today Screen)
I want it to be rotate screen 270 <rotate screen> for my tomtom!!!
The left soft key works fine, it is assigned to <start menu>
HHHMMM???

Do you mean the new SE firmware,
btw artesea i am running touch flo, and i did try to search for this problem with many keywords but no luck
Well there must be at least 5 posts on the same subject. ALL with the same answer which is TouchFlo changes the right softkey.
ok i found the answer and it is the is no way to change it when touch flo is installed
The right hand side hard button - this has been mapped to 'HTC Home' as for some reason, the same hardware key on the Blackstone is actually 'Home'. Although this is a problem, some people have requested that I leave it as it is a nice way of going to the home screen. Others want me to try and remove the mapping so it works according to what the softkey above it says. Shall we vote on this?

Hey, how did you get the soft key mapped to the start menu?
I used the advanced configuration tool, but it does not show the start menu.
Could you help me out?
