Ok here is the low down.
I have been able to disable the alignment screen and setup screen on my PPT8800 (which is using WM2003).
I also was able to copy the "alignment" settings from the registry and copied them into the application folder and platform folder.
When I do a cold boot though, the alignment settings, don't go into effect. The only way I get the screen to respond properly to is to perform a soft boot. I even checked the registry after the coldboot (through my remote program) and the settings showed up, but the screen would not respond to the settings.
Also, one time I did a cold boot, pressed function 6 and brought up the alignment screen. But because my battery was running low, the notification announcement about the battery life, closed the alignment screen. After the screen closed (and I didn't even perform the alignment) the reg settings went into effect.
Any suggestions? I was thinking of trying to write a script that says: perform a soft boot after cold boot. But I don't know how to write that, and apply it to the device. I know how to write basic scripts and commands.

Hi, anyone know how I can reset the OMAP plus and omap.exe to run back to default I set it at 276 and now it's just loading into the window mobile screen and freezes. How to I set to factory setting or a way to get to Omap plus to reset it lower? Thank you for your time and attention.
...offcourse you didn't made it autostartup at too high frequency, did yàh? Just soft reset, search for omap.exe in windows and change...
i guess he did...and there lies the problem...i think your only solution is a hard reset.....
nextime, load spb Pocket plus software first....it has a "safe Mode" startup if the device has worked for less than a minute....
i.e. if you put a too big number, and the device freezes at startup, at the next restart it will ask you if you want to boot into safe mode...and therefore not load the omap.exe...
I stupidly did the same thing. Can you explain or link me a tutorial on how to hard reset?
I plug my usb into my pc and i get the orange light.
When I try to power on the phone it just loops.
It gets to the wm5 screen then reboots.
Please help!
nvm i figured it out....
Here is the little tutorial I found incase anyone else needs it:
"How to hard-reset your HTC Wizard
Published Tuesday, December 27, 2005 4:47 PM
I had to hard-reset (not the first time) my Qtek 9100 today (I was futzing with system stuff and I zigged when I should have zagged), so I thought I would blog about it for those searching for an option other than 'Clear Storage'.
Option 1:
Start > Settings > Clear Storage (then enter in the number it requests and tap 'YES')
Option 2:
Hold down the Comm Manager button(top left) and Voice Command button(top right) buttons while performing a soft-reset (depress the reset button using the stylus); after you depress the soft-reset button, [contintue to hold the two side buttons] hold down the navigation pad for ~4 seconds until you are prompted on screen [you can release the side buttons now]. Press the Send (Talk) button (i.e. the left telephony button) - or whichever button your system prompts you for.
FWIW, I have seen unsubstantiated claims that Option 2 is a 'more thorough' hard-reset than Option 1...

After having installed the latest wm6 from the update. followed by hard rest I got to screen alignment and it seems to keep asking align screen which I have done over 20 times and I can not get out of it even with new hard set.
Any sugestings or help please.
I forgot to mention the center point is some times not responding.
Thank you
I had the same problem, but found that if you can remove the HTC Album then you can align like normal.
I have the same problem on a wizard.
After a while I realized that there must be something wrong with the hardware.
Whenever I turn the screen on, it opens the Message pane, or whatever is configures on the right top hard button. Then if I turn it off and on, it moves to Outlook . Next time to MMS, etc.
Then, when I press the center button, it opens the align screen, but after I finish aligning, it works fine for a while.
I tried Flashing it many times, with differnt rooms, even the offial ones, and it didn't solve the problem. I also tried dismounting it all, talking all the parts apart and nothing.
Anyboday has any clue about this?
make an oem that auto aligns the screen in personal oemizer. See if that works. So that on the initial boot from hard reset it skips that screen.
I did it on mine and it worked fine but I also never had a problem aligning the screen with the kitchen either.
Anyone here has this before?
When the system boot, after the today screen appear, and load up a few plugins, the whole phone stopped working, but the screen will dim after specific time, and the power button will not light up the screen, so all you could do is reset the phone again, but after the reset, after today screen ,after load up a few plugins......... the phone enters a loop......All I could do is HARD RESET.
Firstly, I suspect the additional plugin I install, but after querying on the web, no such report has been found, yet the plugin is a very popular one, so maybe this problem is only happens on my phone ?
Probably conflicting software. I had the same thing happening with a software keyboard (don't remember the name). Had to hardreset.
I've noticed that it takes quite awhile to Boot up the X1. Is there anyway to possibly speed it up, cause it takes about a minute or longer even after I've done turbospeed and other performance tweaks.
Thanks, I use advance config and noticed something about splash screen settings, will playing around with those make a difference?
Also, yes I did use the search function and the thread's question wasn't really answered, thanks!
do you use original ROM? if yes the original ROM is quite slow... ^^
One minute is quite normal for a Windows Mobile. It's even quicker than many other Windows Mobiles I had in my hands.
I only ever shut down the phone if i need to softreset it because it have goon
crazy on me
and yes it takes a long time
but only reason i can see to really turn it off is if i softreset
or have to made do without being able to charge it for a while
and only have to start it up to call once in awhile
but mind you booting it up require pretty much power
so using the wall charger or a usb cable is better if you
have access to any of those options
Haha, yeah I'm running a Generic UK R2 rom, it's a bit of an improvement over R1, but I'm guessing that cooked roms will run even bette. I guess I don't turn it off too often, but most of the time it is soft resetting.
At worst, it took *two and a half* minutes (yes, you heard right) to boot up my phone! I did however have both the PIN code on and a phone lock key, but still...
the boot time is normal... like what the bro said, we usually dont reboot our winmos often..

Hm, where is the phone lock when starting up? I did not find anything like on my symbian where one has to put in a 'phone lock code' if there is a new sim inserted.
I know there is a "phone lock" but this does not apply when someone changed the sim and starts the phone.
Is there such a setting 'phone lock code when sim changed' at all?
X1i Boot- Up Times
hi all,
I noticed the boot up time was quite slow, until i updated the ROM.
Then i came accross a program called SK Tools, this has noticably sped up my phone considerably. Just do a search for SK tools in this forum and you should find it.
Hope i helped...

Probably yeah.
I recently added back the Xperia animation screen on 'Jack 2.1 lite rom' during boot-which added about 10 seconds to the boot time so you can probably remove that
Yup, I removed the bootsplash of the Xperia animation and it cut down bootup by a bit. I was wondering about the wait time for the WM splash screen though, it's default at 30 seconds..
for the bootsplash, how ui remove it?
for the sktoolls, what settings did u use
SK Tools Instructions
Launch SK Tools
Look for the Optimize Button
It will automatically select 3 Tick Boxes for you
select Action at the botton Left of the screen
Make sure performance is selected and click optimise.
Sometimes it soft resets, sometimes t doesnt.
then launch auto clean within SK Tools
You should notice a difference in the boot times... I DiD
I actually used Advanced Config Tool(Just Google and you will find it) to remove that "XPERIA" boot splash. Once you've installed it, run it, then go into the icon list that says HTC Animation, and disable it. I was curious if anyone's tried changing the Splash Screen settings where it says "MS splash screen on startup" or the MS timeout on startup.
Hi,
My "Align Screen" does not work properly. When I tap on Align screen it keeps on repeatedly doing Align Screen and does not stop.
I tried hard reset, another ROM, but nothing works. Even my tapping on the screen is all over the place. If I click on the Windows button the calendar opens (due to screen alignment problem and not due to wrong application assigned to button).
So i've been having problems with the screen alignment on mine since i had one spot on my MDA screen that was dead and my screen was cracked so the alignment wizard basically got stuck in limbo when I tried to calibrate it. SO basically what I had to do was download PHM Registry Editor and change the registry key touch referenced in here.
Afterwards I used the remote alignment tool (attached) to retrieve the correct settings from the correctly aligned mda(after changing the registry key then rebooting the device) then made sure the file was saved on my pc....normally it's saved by default in the C:\Program Files\Code Factory\Remote Screen Alignment directory. The file was called WIZA200.dat. I did a soft reset then when the alignment screen came up I did the skip function in the remote screen alignment application and it automatically read the proper calibration from the wiza200.dat file and then properly calibrated my mda now my screen is properly calibrated even though i never ran the alignment wizard.
So here are the Instructions folks:
1. Download the latest activesync and connect your mda to your computer and verify your device is connected(not as guest)
2. Perform a soft/hard reset on your MDA then tap your screen to start the screen alignment wizard
3. Download the remote screen alignment tool attached and install it on your machine.
4. Download the wiza200.txt file attached and rename it to WIZA200.dat then put it in the C:\Program Files\Code Factory\Remote Screen Alignment directory on your computer
5. Ensure your MDA is connected to your pc(A green activesync Icon usually indicates a connection )
6. Open the remote screen alignment tool on your pc meanwhile your phone be displaying the alignment screen wizard.
7. Click SKIP in the screen alignment tool.
Assuming everything went fine a message box displaying "The operation has been completed successfully. Your device will be restarted." should pop up on your computer and your device should restart. Afterwards your phone will run the files it always does when you do a soft/hard reset then you touch screen should be properly calibrated and work fine.
I found the above solution. But it has messed up the entire screen. I suspect the Calibration data is not correct and it is for Wizard. My screen is f$#@#@. PLEASE HELP.
if you wanted help vinbad i think you should also inclued the files you downloaded and the program that you installed to avoid this screen alignment thing and hope that someone with the capacity of changing the *txt for prophet will read this thread and can help you both..
this is just an opinion and i do hope that some good samaritan will come along that can help you!
PEACE!
