Hi everyone,
The scroll wheel is annoying me especially when dialing (It accidentally scroll down dialing to the wrong person) I am OK with zooming but not scrolling. I prefer to use the up,down,left & right buttons
Anyone know a tweak to disable the scroll wheel control?
Thanks
The registry settings for control the wheel are in HKLM/Software/HTC/smartTouch.
Maybe from there you can control the behaviour. I haven't try it though.
Didn't work
I tried changing the wheelcount value to 0 and then soft reset but nothing changed. It is still scrolling
engalnoor: Scroll wheel function is mantained via driver from HTC. You can remove it (via cooking; I am not sure if it can be removed from already built rom), but you will loose all functions connected to scroll wheel. This includes not only scrolling in lists, but also zooming in supported apps.
Still don't want it
I prefer to lose all scroll wheel functions & features over being annoyed with it's misinterpetations
Is there anyway to disable it from the regisry or so?
I am really suffering
If it doesn't buther you to loose the wheel functions, you can do this:
Create a new text document and rename it to SmartTouch.dll
Copy the file somewhere in the device and using resco explorer copy or move it to windows directory and overwrite the original one.
Soft reset device
Many Thanks
dancer_69
Many thanks, that was really a cure for my pain
I'm glad that I helped.
I see I'm a late commer but here are my two cents:
I believe the wheelcount value is the wheel sensitivity setting - meaning how many wheel steps/degrees/whatever are needed to move the cursor. So, changing it to higher number may solve the unwanted move issue while still maintaining the functionality of this element (which I personally love ).

In "Diamond tweak" application under 19.7 there is an option to enlable or disable scroll wheel in phone applications. That might do the job for you. Have not checked myself......

Hi guys! Had my M5000 for about 10 days now and finally getting used to it but I wonder if anyone canm help with any of the following questions??
1. How do we edit the dictionary?? I can't even find how to add words and that would be REALLY handy as I normally use the phone pad for typing!
2. Can we select a default input method? (I use the phone pad but it always reverts to popup keyboard)
3. Can we change what the soft keys to on the today screen? (I'd dearly love to change Calendar to Messaging!)
4. I prefer to keep event, program and notification sounds all turned on but can I disable the start button click and the noise it makes when opening programs or settings??
5. My device is set to turn off after three mins - Is there a way to make it turn on again when I press ANY button? (I swear the power button moves in the dark lol)
6. When I go into my games menu it takes just over 40 seconds to list them all (I have about 20 games all installed on my memory card) - Does anyone know what might cause this??
7. Is there a way to get these phones to receive files over bluetooth from other make of phone? Mates with both Nokias and Sony have tried sending me pictures over BT but no luck
Think that's it for now - Sorry if any of these are stupid questions with obvious answers that I've missed but I'm pretty sure I've tried every damn menu on the device now lol! I'm also hoping that there's things here that other people would also like ot know!
Thanks
1. The dictionary can have words added to it by making a document in Word (named, for example: 'Personal dictionary') and saving it. Any word you add will be in the dictionary from that point on (as long as the document is not deleted).
3. Try registry hack here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
5. Try 'Settings' - 'Buttons' - Lock tab - 'Do not lock buttons'
4. Not sure if there's a reg hack for it, I've searched for the filenames below and their paths to no avail. but the only other way would be to remove the following files from \Windows:
hwandsw.wav
MenuPop.wav
If you remove or copy these to a different location, then you won't hear anything. During the old XDA / XDA2 and i phases, I used to swap the WM2002/3 sounds for PC Windows noises. Later, when it came to 2005, I used the set contained on here as they were much nicer.
6. If they're on the SD card then presumably it has to search the SD for all of the .exe files. This could be improved by perhaps defragging your card (StorageTools is a good app for this). Another thing may be to try creating links to your game .exes in a folder on the PHONE, and replace the Start > Programs > Games icons with links to the PHONE copies. You can add / remove these by going to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
7. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry - look for the section entitled To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)

Hi
The registry obex 'hack' does exactly the same thing as going to settings, comms, beam, and clicking the selection box 'recieve all beams' Beam = Ir AND Bluetooth.
I find that the button lock setting does not work. With it set to 'do not lock' you still cant press any button to switch the unit on
Nigel
Thanks for the tips guys
Maybe I should have been more specific with the dictionary thing - I want to be able to add words to the predictive text (Town/friends names for example) - Does adding them to the dictionary do this??
Yes, adding any words to the dictionary adds them to predictive text, as well. The predictive text uses the dictionary.
Plus you'll find that as you type more and more, it will automatically add words you spell out it doesn't recognise.
Ant
Thanks guys - Especially for the registry link - Some REALLY great stuff there
hmmmmm... One quickie though:
For example, to change the left-hand softkey to start Pocket Excel you would set
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Pocket Excel
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = \windows\pxl.exe
Anyone know how I set this to open contacts???
Does anybody know how to set under which tab in settings a CPL will appear?
I ask, as I've managed to export the CPL T-Mobile put on the MDA COmpact II to customise the soft keys, and I want it to appear on the same screen as Buttons, but instead it is under System.
BTW, the CPL does work - it gives an interface similar to Buttons for changing what the soft keys do, as opposed to editing the registry. If you want, I can post it here.
Thanks in advance, guys.
Just a question: when you change one of the Soft Keys apps to be run, do you have the <Ok/Close> , <ContextMenu> (all <BlaBla>) options? I mean the options that are not applications?
The reason I'm asking is that I recently hard reseted my Wizard and I stopped the final T-Mobile customization process. But it seems that the Softkeys are no longer present in my control panel, and after adding a SoftKeys.cpl file from a forum, I can only set applications not the aforementioned behaviours (like <OK/Close>).
PS: post the file plz, I'll just give it a try
I think you want to edit (or create) the 'group' dword value under HKLM\ControlPanel\[yourcplkeyhere]\
values seem to be 0 fo rthe personal tab, 1 for system and 2 for conenctions
eg set HKLM\ControlPanel\Backlight\Group to 2 to make it appear on the connections tab.
the cpl sounds handy - can you post it?
Here's the CPL.
Haven't looked at all the options, but you can select New SMS and New MMS, although these rely on 2 files called TNSMS.exe and TNMMS.exe, which I don't see to have to hand. If anyone can post them, that'd be great.
I don't know if it'll work on all devices, but try it anyway.
P.S. How do I find the CPL Key to use in the reg hack above?
I have one which I use for the New SMS function
How to install *.CPL files?
I copied it to Windows directory but it is not there?
Do a Soft reset after copying to the \windows....
then it should be in the Start->Settings-> one of the tabs...

You should put them in the memory cord of your phone, then click them from there.
The .CAB files should be installed FROM THE PHONE.
goodluck
Hey great work with the hacks
Thanx for sharing
Used the Soft Key app & it works great. cheers.
Problem sorted
Or some reason when I was downloading the files they were changing to .php not .cab. So with a quick change of name all working fine.
Anyone know how to change internet explorer reg back to original settings?
cheers
Dear yohanson,
Most of the tweaks for pocket ie can be easily changable within pocket ie by options menu...
Regards and thanks...
protochip,
great works !!! thanks for the "compilation"
Manage to installed :
DSP ENCHANCER -BASS&TREBLE SETTINGS
* Works very well.
SHOW CONTACTS FIRST NAME SURNAME ORDER
* Works very well.
POCKET IE TWEAKS
* Can't find where to do the changes. Unable to find the new setting in IE menu.
cheers,
Simon
brilliant
Dear simontee,
After applying pocket ie hacks there will be no new menu.I meant that if you want to go back,you can change some of the tweaks within pocket ie.For example you can change the zoom setting to larger or make fit to desktop from the menu of pocket ie.But other tweaks are directly written to registry ( cleartype, pocket ie as msie6.0, ... )
Regards and thanks...
Nice work will give them a try on my BA...

thks for replying.... great works !!! keep it up !!!

HI.
HI. PROTOCHIP.
I KNOW YOU FROM SX1 FORUMS.
I THING YOU CHANGE YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM.
ANYMORE YOU WILL USE WINDOWS MOBILE.
ONCE UPON A TIME YOU PREFERED SYMBIAN.
WELCOME TO WINDOWS MOBILE.
GREAT WORKS.
Dear wildwind,
As you know, technology is improving very fast... As an ex-owner of Siemens Sx1 i am proud of it. Now it is time for windows mobile and time for Htc Universal... Who knows what will become popular next year, be sure i will be so close to it...
Regards and thanks...
Hi, would like to know what do you think about smartskey.
The softkey remap adding both Start Menu and Close functionality is really what brings real convienience to using my K-JAM.
The other features are nice, but I rarely use them.
When using OmapClock, I prefer to add my own startup and notifcation events.
Edit: the "alternate" startmenu key function is brilliant! I now use GSPocketMagic and it works great!
First of all, thank you very much for this great piece of work.
Softkey remap is used most often. Volume key remap is the next most used.
This is a wonderful bit of work. I use the dpad mapping about 98% of the time I use the phone. I also use the close with right soft key mapping fairly frequently and the volume key mapping to disable the today screen volme control (safety first!) and for scrolling within apps. Postal and Paypal gratitude forthcoming.
New function to close screen and block buttons
Hi,
I think it will be very very usefull to have a button which blocks all the buttons and toggle off the screen. It would make the program almost perfect!

there sholud be checkboxes instead of radioboxes in this poll. i'd check all options besides volume key remapping, because i prefer it to stay with its original function. if i could suggest anything new, it would be some piece of GUI placed in Settings window for configuring smartskey. editing smartskey.ini every time after installing new version is not quite convenient way, mostly when it's unicoded in some strange way and not every text editor can handle it (gedit in GNOME - for example - can't).
Is there anyway to set the scroll wheel so that it will smoothly scroll the screen in pocket IE, rather than tab between the hyperlinks?
It seems to do this on some web pages but not others, so I assume it is how the page is coded. But can the wheel be set to do this for all pages?
Ideally, I would like for the wheel to scroll the screen, but the joypad to tab between the links.
Is there a registry setting or something?
Hi!
I think the scrollwheel is hard-coded to act as "arrow up" / "arrow down" .. So scrolling the wheel up or down will only take you to the previous, or next link in the webpage. If the webpage contains few links then it will scroll one page down instead I think. Maybe a plugin or something could fix this, but IE doesn't have that function as of today.
Yo !! you can do it, you have to change the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=1
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=0
but it affect both scroll wheel and buttons pad, you can't do it separately.
Excuse my ignorance, but how do you change the registry? I would find this useful also.

I made a cab that make this registry change, just install and SR.
nice one
works well, cheers
any one know of a way to implement the same thing for Opera? i had a look through the the registry, but was unable to find a similar string
s.
The cab file works a treat. Thank's for it! However I have noticed that after installing it when I open an email or text message it opens scrolled down a bit. Any ideas? It means I have to scroll up a bit each time to read it.

This doesn't really achieve what I want as it only removes the tabs to hyperlinks. This means you must use the stylus when browsing, so it actually reduces the functionality. If the page didn't have any hyperlinks, the scroll wheel would have done the same thing anyway, move one page at a time.
What I would like to do, as PaulusUK said at the start of this post, is to be able to smooth scroll on a page the same way a desktop mouse works.
An option to set the number of lines that scroll would be nice.
There might be something out there that does this already, any suggestions?
