Disable Screen Alignment

Is there a way to disable te screen alignment utility on the QTEK 2020? I mean the welcome.exe that runs when your battery was empty or when you do a reset?
I'm searching my ass off but i'm not finding anything.

I think it would require i OS ROM modification since it is "factory" clean if you loose the power. Extended rom customization kicks in after the screen calibration.
It´s a painfull process to calibrate but ít´s an even more painfull experience with a non calibrated screen :wink:
/Regards

Would you really notice it if you wouldn't calibrate the screen? Would be the same like not calibrating a joystick on a PC? If you don't do that you always keep moving because the joystick thinks it's not centered.
I'm just thinking here, during the calibration, would there be anything saved to the registry, of the calibration, because then i would be able to export it to a .reg file and let it be imported during the extended rom customization?
I gonne search some more...

Why all the effort to avoid the calibration? After all you are only forced to do it after a hard reset and the time it takes is minimal compared to the following Extended ROM installation. I can't see why it's such a big deal :?

because i have more than 1 PDA to configure

Because it is a great hassle to have it always appeared when you press your Joystick and Calendar hotkey together. And I need these buttons when I play some games or use Sega/Atari and other emulators ((

because it's a touch screen it's much more troublesome not to calibrate
i mean a joystick if no callibrated will wander but a touch screen will not know where or what you are pressing on with the stylus or finger

the alignment isn't a problem for me. just the stupid copy/paste tutorial is a nuisance. But unfortenately it is in the OS. In the beginning developers here tried to make a custom welcome.exe but they gave up. The effort was too much for the benefits.

Great! I didnt know about the joy + calendar button :-D
Rey, my guess is that calibration is device individual so they cant be copied. But using the joy+cal trick at a later stage makes removing it in the OS ROM much more interesting.

oh well, at least i found out how to automaticly get the GMT zone in, so i can just click next and don't have to scroll
For those who are intrested:
Fill in the setting, i have it on GMT +1, then go to your registry editor and export the following value out of the registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Time]
TimeZoneInformation
save somewhere and put it an a the EXTENDED_ROM in a .CAB that auto installes, i put in in the IIWPO.CAB in platformxxx.reg works for me

Restorator

Try Restorator utility (search this forum on: restorator) for individual and multiple setups. Works for me! Thanks to SP!
Unfortunately, it doesn't solve our alignment issue

Dunno if it can help..but I remember ..some cooked ROMs for XDA1 haven't got this Copy-Paste procedure.. some programmer have removed it.
So,try to search for it..

Pressure Sensitivity - Registry / other configuration available?

On My Sprint Mogul/6800, with out-of-the-box ROM (upgraded to version 3.35.651.2 (the 2/22/2008 HTC update) at the Sprint store), I'd like to increase the touch sensitivity for easier scrolling with FTouchFlo, sliding with SCLPC++, and general finger-tapping. Particularly needed since I'm using a screen protector.
Searching this forum turned up some registry edits on the Elf/Touch (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold) as described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=360564
However, when browsing my own registry with Total Commander, I don't see the TouchPanel key (neither in HKLM\Drivers nor HKLM\Software\Drivers).
I've seen this registry setting mentioned as well:
HLKM\HARDWARE\OEM\TOUCH\CALIBRATENOTES
But I couldn't find that one either. I have HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\CalibrationData, but that seems to contain the 5 coordinates (4 corners + center) for screen calibration, no sensitivity data.
So -- any clues on how to increase the pressure sensitivity on the 6800?

I agree I need some settings too

Well i can tell you it wont be under calibration data. that has to do with the accuracy of pinpoints on the screen, like when you recalibrate after reflashing or starting up for the first time. ill check around the registry and see if i find anything of interest.

you may just need to create the key yourself with the correct name indicated.

I've tested this out by creating the following registry keys & values:
HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
HKLM\Software\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\Touch\CalibrateNotes
I've tried values ranging from single digits and 100's, to 50,000, to 100,000. Still no change in sensitivity either way.
Any other ideas?

Sorry about your trouble. I don't have an answer for you either. My guess is there is an inherent difference in the devices. I will try and play around with it over the weekend and see if I can come up with anything.

I believe those registries are created when the Touch Flo Cube is installed. It is mainly for cube sensitivity. If you are simply running TouchFlo, you will not find these keys.

I'm using Efrost's FTouchFlo, and Slither's SCLPC++ cube. Of course, these are clones/rewrites/whatever of the actual software on the HTC Touch, since I have the 6800/Titan/Mogul.
I got the impression that these registry entries were for general system-wide sensitivity, not just the Cube -- so I was hoping there might be something similar I could do on my device

Searching the web I found this Pdf:
Maybe it can help

I read somewhere that how you do the screen configuration affects the sensitivity. Like if you push the points hard during calibration the screen will be calibrated for hard presses (less sensitive). Light presses during calibration, light presses (more sensitive). I have always treated it this way and as far as I've been able to tell, that's how it works. I could just be nuts though =P

Better touch screen sensitive

i try:
regedit()
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel - PressureThreshold to 80866
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings - FingerPressure to 1
Soft-Reset
It's the same of DIAMOND
I think this improve the speed reaction of touch screen

Are you really so unhappy with the standard settings? I have no problems with the response of my display, but maybe I'm just pressing hard enough .

This is a good CAB, worth a try,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=149174&d=1232643110
Got it from here,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469865
It is just a reg tweak and easily uninstallable.
I like it.

I'm still curious about what the registry change is.
On my Diamond I set Finger Pressure and Pressure Treshold to 0 for best sensitivity. For the Xperia to be max sensitive I had to set 99999 to both Finger Pressure and Pressure Treshold.
So, what is the setting with the Blackstone?

Just do the screen calibration as gently as possible, that way you'll get a very responsive screen

I know about that, I just want to know the optimal values so I can get it right every time with a minimum of fuss.

You can also adjust the threshhold using HD Tweak saves changing the registry

I have both set to 0 and my screen feels very responsive.

A Better Touch Experience

If you want a silky smooth touch experience with your touch panel, one of the following should help you:
1. Align Screen Method
2. Registry Hack
Method 1.
Settings>>System>>Screen>>Align Screen
Tap on the crosses very very lightly. The harder you tap, the less sensivitive your screen will be set.
Method 2.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
Set the value to 80866 in Decimal
Thanks to this thread here

Here's the cab.
The difference in the methods are that the reg edit sets values to max, the alignment sets back to default range.
Will test tonight and report back.
**Edit**- Seems to work pretty well setting to max value via cab.
Not groundbreaking but somewhat more responsive, not that it was bad to begin with.

I couldn't, at first, find this key on my TD2 - then, when I searched, I found it as HKLM\\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
Presume this is the same thing - not sure why mine is in a different location!

any difference in performance?

Performance
Yes, looks like it has improved things - but I haven't had much chance to test it.
Before, I would have occasional trouble getting screen to 'react' to a tap - that hasn't happened since I made the change, and it feels more 'positive' in use.

I looked into the cab,and apparently it sets it to -1.

change the sensitivity of your touch screen

Hello all,
I have seen several reports in internet about screen sensitivity issue regarding s7 & s7e varients. some says that it is too sensitive, while some say its less.
In my case,afterinstalling a .4 mm 9H glass screen protector, my screen sensitivity became awfully down,it wont recognise my targus touch input pen anymore,unless i press the rubber tip really hard, also several misses of finger touch input too.
being so, i was thinking of removing the screen gaurd itself, but from my experience, i know that this can be adjusted by editing system files. again, i forgot ( since i dont play with roms much now a days) it, and last night i stuck upon my collection of android tweaks.. and find something interesting.
so i want to share it with you.
You need root access to do this tweak, as we are going to edit build.prop and touch screen calibration file.
1 ) go to system/build.prop , open it with some text editor, add these lines to it ( i prefer xplore filemanager, becoz it is cool and automatically set previous permissions)
ro.max.fling_velocity=16000
touch.pressure.scale=0.00000001
ro.min.fling_velocity=8500
windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=290
ro.min_pointer_dur=9
2) save it back and then go to system/usr/idc and find the file named " ft5x06_ts.idc ". its the touch screen calibration file. open it as text ( some filemanagers require to rename it as .txt extension, if its so, rename and open it. then edit this line as
touch.pressure.scale=0.00000001
3) save and rename it back to " ft5x06_ts.idc " and set back permissions.
reboot your phone.. now ur phone have much more sensitive screen.
NB:- the normal touch.pressure.value is 0.015 for s7. ( as found in ft5x06_ts.idc file). we have changed it to a much smaller value of 0.00000001 , to make it more sensitive.
you can decrease that value further to make it more sensitive or you can increase that value to 0.100 or so to decrease sensitivity ( remember to add same value on build.prop and .idc file , to avoid conflicts.)
thanks all.. hope this will sort out your touch screen problem.

I don't have that file. I'm running a stock S7, rooted, original ROM in all ways just like most everyone else. Mine is brands new and I've not made any other mods yet. Can you verify the filename and folder is correct?
Are there any other changes you may have made beforehand, that may have created that file? Did you try any of the touch screen calibration apps that I've seen online by chance?
I can try creating the file, what else is in its contents? Can you attach it here, or copy its contents to the screen here if short enough?
Great information, you're the only one writing about this yet. I appreciate it because I was looking for the same thing and I knew it was possible. I can confirm I've read similar on the Android developers website. There's tons of settings related to the touchscreen listed there, and the sensitivity setting you reference seems to be the most important.
I've seen other people reference adding that setting into build..prop. Have you heard that, or tried that by chance? Any feedback? On my S5, it didn't seem to make any difference regardless of what I set it to in the build.prop settings. Perhaps it's the same on the S7. Surprised I don't have the same file that you reference though...? Mine is Verizon. Yours?

UPDATE -After digging around a bit, I found two idc files related to touchscreen settings in that same folder. They are named Synaptics_HID_TouchPad.idc and Synaptics_RMI4_TouchPad_Sensor.idc. Their contents reference "Input Device Configuration File for the Atmel Maxtouch touch screen" and "Atmel Maxtouch touch screen" respectively. All the standard touch screen settings are present, but specific to touch.pressure.scale, both are set to 0.0125. Again, slightly different, but this is a Verizon variant, I'm not sure what year it is. I know each touchscreen requires its own set of configuration settings, and it's not expected they would all calibrate and matchup to the same settings. It also wouldn't be the first time Samsung use different pieces of hardware in the same device, let alone the carriers might provide their own input and/or make those choices autonomously as well. What does yours list as the make and model of the touchscreen device? Do you have just the one file referencing touch screen, or are there multiple files like mine?
I'm not sure what specific touchscreen hardware is installed in my device. I know I could go check, but I'm feeling lazy and think I'll just modify them both and see what happens.
I'll provide updates as I learn more...

ya.. thats it.. every android device shd contain some sensor specific file for every sensor used. or lets say some configuration file.. and touch screen too..
btw.. that touch pressure scale is what u need to change.

why the hell does Samsung doesnt set it in 0.00001 in first place -_-
Has anyone else tried/working this workaround?
Not rooted here but will root if it works ^^
