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..

Registry help aligning Prophet screen

I would like some help.
Part of my Prophet screen doesn't work anymore.
This means aligning is hell.
I would like to squeeze some more life out of the thing ...
Especially with guys like Gullum, Cloudifa, and all the other ones ...
I have already found out the registry key is
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Calibration settings
I have only found values for elf, atom and others on the net.
But they are not yet as close to Prophet (atom is OK except for the far right side of the screen (scroll ...)
Could someone please be able to give me the values on their prophet ?
Want to post it instead of messaging directly to keep this on the forum for others.
If I should have missed an earlies posting woth the settings, sorry, please then redirect me.

These values are unique to each device. If every device was the same, there would be no need for this!
From my ROM setup: 1839,1997 3118,684 3126,3328 577,3291 602,690

Thanks !
I know about the unique settings, but with your prophet settings I can try to come closer thn woth settings fora completely different device, and maybe tweak a bit more myself through remot registry editor.
Thanks again!

HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Calibration settings

You need a registry editor. If you just want to realign the screen, hold the windows hardware button and then press the centre d-pad button.

salll
tnx...but my PDA doesn't allow to finish the align screen process, one of the corners i can't align it...maybe phisical problem???

Maybe a hardware issue...
Try using a registry editor (I'd use this) to edit the settings using those above... May not be perfect but may help....

Back to TF3D when in landscape mode

Hi,
I just did a hard-reset on my phone, because gyrator (think) wasn't working properly and i hoped that a reset would fix this. However, i'm still having the same problem as before.
In TF3D everything works smooth, exactly how it should be working. The problem occurs when i'm in any application (typing sms or e-mail / browing with opera). As soon as i turn my phone to landscape modus, it turns the screen like it should, but after one second in landscape mode, the phone goes back to the TF3D interface. As a result, i'm not able to browse in landscape modus or type a sms/e-mail in landscape modus.
I think this has something to do with Gyrator (still all the standard settings after installation), since before the reset, the problem occured when i installed the program. However, it might also be another application.
I installed the following programs (i ignored the programs that i'm sure of that are not causing the problem, since i installed them for the first time and i had the problem before):
- G-Alarm
- Coreplayer
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (still standard settings)
- Massimo Colored Top Bar
- Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
- NoData
- Resco explorer
- Schap's advanced task manager
- Schap's registry editor
- tnyynt SD tuneUp
I tried the search function on the forum, but couldn't find a possible solution. Are there any people here that are familier with my problem?
Thanks!

I had the same issue. I isolated the issue to having 2 programs that handled rotation on some level.

I have exactly the same problem (tested with comics reader, opera...)
Yet I have uninstalled Gyrator... Could Gyrator have corrupted something? I suspect also the colored taskbar to be somehow responsible (as it had already corrupted my boot with another customised taskbar...)
EDIT: Problem Solved
I just uninstalled the last colored taskbar which had not the problem with corrupted boot, but which was the reason for this bug... problem solved for me

Damn, i loved the colored taskbar...is it still possible to have both (maybe a different way of installing the colored taskbar)?

Interesting. I also have the colored icons taskbar. So far running only on program seems to work on my end. I will keep tabs on this. Thanks.

A more complete test would be necessary to really determine the problem... the good news is that everything is ok now for me
the bad news is no more colored taskbar until another try (next time I install a colored taskbar, I will try every known crash test )

There does seem to be a conflict with Opera and replacing the task bar icons, specifically the battery icon. Try installing Schaps Advanced Config and change the "Today -> Show on titlebar" from "Battery" to "Clock".

I was playing some more today. It does seem to be the colored task bar. I added the additional icons for Bluetooth. After that, the issue re-ocurred. A soft reset seemed to solve it and no issues since.

You should try the darklord colored titlebar, it does not cause these conflicts. Search the Blackstone forums for the link as I don't know it by heart and the original version is in Italian (the link in this forum is google translated).

This is the one I am using.

I also had darklord colored titlebar and had the same problem. When I switched to landscape it crashed into TF3D. Then I uninstalled titlebar and everything works right. For me the landscape view is more important then colored titlebar. You could try to install colored titlebar by the .dll file, not by .cab, but I don't think that will solve the problem. The best would be, if somebody who has colored titlebar and no crashing problem, would write how he did it.

For me it was the same but then with Massimo's colored topbar icons.
I've uninstalled it and now it works just fine.
If someone has the colored topbar icons and doesn't have the crashing problem, please post which one you're using.

I have still have the bar installed and have had no issues since the last soft reset. I was playing in Opera and You Tube with no issues.
I am going to install changescreen again and configure it. I will post results.

Jacne Blue-earth taskbar installed and everything looks ok until now

Menu titles are invisible but working

The programs coming from earlier WM versions are fully functional but the menu titles in the bottom bar do not show off.
However when you click on them , the menu appears.(See VisualGPSce for example).
I have tried to change the resolution but the problem remains.
I have not found this problem listed in the forums but I know that it is common as I have seen such programs with a blank bottom bar in some tests.
Any idea ? Thanks !

Yep I got that too. Was a bit worried at first but I think there's a registry key somewhere that can be altered. Just can't remember where!! However if I do remember i'll post it (or possibly someone else will remember before I do...)
It's not a problem as long as I can remember what menu option is where....

>Replying in english, because my school german sucks
>This is an issue with the Today screen theme 'Xperia black', not Total >Commander CE. You have the problem in all programs using standard WM >menus.
>If you try another theme, the menu text appears.

This is what I have seen on this matter in the Total Commader Forum.
I would be happy if you could remeber the tweak ...

Menu titles
Use Raiisak´s Flatbar Black cab when you use Xperia black theme like me and don´t forget rename xperia black theme to defaul.tsk and activate default.tsk in settings today... work fine for me... old trick from my old Hermes time

Thanks ! Just changed the Today theme to default Windows and it works :text now shows !

I just cheated with mine - did a registry edit on the Xperia Black theme!
HKCU\\Software\Microsoft\Today\XPERIA Black.tsk
changed the value in "Color_CommandbarText" to 55,55,55,00
Bit of a "fiddle" but it works fine for what I needed! I may try 77,77,77,00 and see if that's still useable
you have to reset the device as soon as you've updated the value or it doesn't appear to want to stick.....

Missing possibilty to change software buttons

Hello all,
have removed SPB shell yesterday (no support for real vga) and want to get my device running again in the former way. However, it seems to me, that I've lost the possibility to change the software buttons
Who can help ? Is there something to be done in the registry ?
My device is a 7510 with Michylight 6.1 - therefore also 7500/7501 users are welcoome to answer.
Dieter

You no longer have Settings>Personal>Buttons?
You can try using AE Button Plus: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

I still have settings\personal\buttons but there is only an opportunity to assign programs to the hardware buttons. I want to do it for the software-buttons displayed onscreen.

The SoftKeyAppletEx application is a control panel applet that allows to change the applications linked to the softkeys that you find on the today screen.
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/S...trol-Panel-Applet-SoftKeyAppletEx-55572.shtml
RemapSoftkeys allows you to modify the softkey allocation on the Today screen. It only modifies registry entries, so you don't need to keep it installed after you set your new values !
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-remap-softkeys.html
KeySwop is a simple tool for you to remap the softkeys on the today screen.

hope this helps looks like the 1st one would be the best one though

Thanks so far - will test the applications.
Have to reinstall the ROM on my device, seems that ther got more corrupted during SPB de-install. Today my radio didn't work any more...
Let's see whether I get my device running again.
