Hi all...
I was wondering if there was a hack or something available to make the jogwheel perform a smooth scroll in PIE instead of scrolling through the links?
I did a search but didn't find anything.
TIA!
in wiki, you can find the registry hack that will allow up/down and scroll wheel to page down rather than hyperlink jumps.
the hack only refers to up down controls, but it works the same on the jog wheel.
there are heaps of other wonderful hacks there also if you havent already been there.
Look under WIKI, down the bottom WM5 Registry hacks.
Yes that's absolutely right - use the Wiki
If you have Tweaks2k2 this has a setting to do the change for you.
Note that changing to smooth scrolling changes the TAB behaviour when writing SMS e-mails and you can no longer tab from the "To" box to the body of the message.
Smooth scrolling avoids the link to link scrolling but will scroll a page at a time. I have not found anything that scrolls one line at a time (though very strangely it randomly does scroll a line at a time!!)

Aha, so that's why the tab function does not work anymore in my sms app! thanks for this info.
Cool, thanks for the info!
I'm not worried about the To field in SMS messages. I don't normally use the jogwheel to change between To and the message body.
It's too bad that there isn't built-in functionality for the wheel like in Windows for the mousewheel, choosing to scroll 1 line, 6 lines, or a page at a time.
What is the Wiki?

The Wiki is the fount of all knowledge. Well not quite but - the Wiki is a site within XDA-Developers that contains information on those things about the Hermes (TyTn) that are largely sorted out. It has general info, specific info, technical info, solutions to problems and of course the stuff for those true developers - the ROM guru stuff as well as info on flashing, upgrading etc. Here is the link - save it but if you loose it there is a sticky post at the top of the Hermes 1st page of Hermes posts that takes you to it!

Hi, I use pieplus+, you can adjust the jogwheel scroll settings to what says line, I think its similar to the scroll in tweaks2k2..its a lot better that the default, that's all I know, but the main thing I did notice is that the tab to field with the jogwhee stil works on sms, email..etc.
Just throwin that out there, I rarely use the jogwheel on sms, mails myself.
Yeah pieplus worked in that department for me as well!
For some reason, when I open an SMS in my Text messages inbox, it starts at the bottom of the page, so i have to scroll up to the top to read it!
Im sure it didnt do this when I got the phone, but now it does.
Any ideas?
Try changing the way the message is sorted. Just tap a the small triangle below the close (X) button. Hopefully this solves your problem.
Sorry, I didnt make myself clear.
Its not the message list, its the message itself.
When I open an SMS, these can only be 160 chars remember, the screen is scrolled down a page showing blank nothing. I have to grab the scrollbar at the right and drag it to the top of the sms where the actual message and header are!
No sms would ever fill a single screen, let alone go into a second so I have no idea what is going on.

That happens with the keyboard attached or not?
This is happening to me as well - Anyone know what the fix is?

I never found it!
Just upgraded to wm6 and it opens them scrolled down a little bit, just enough to hide the "received on blah"message, but not the caller name/number
Makes me think maybe its to do with message headers? Fiddle with the header display options. Good luck.
May i know what your wm6 build number?..
we had this before in out wizard when we are still using the older build number wm6 ones..
I had that prob in the shipped Tmob rom on Ameo, Its not happening on mew wm6
New os is 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3) though.
But as I say, it starts moved down a tiny bit only now, so i can see the message.
On TMob wm5 rom it started at the bottom of a long page, so EVERY time i opened a sms I had to scroll back up to read it, very annoying.
This bug occurs in wm6 build number 5.2.1238 downwards..
at 5.2.1413 the bug isnt exist anymore..
That happens when you set smooth scrolling/dpad scrolling via reg hack or change scrolling via htc tweaks, etc
Anyway to undo/fix it?

Change the registry back or uncheck the smooth scrolling box in the tweak app you are using..
or
see reg setting below
0 = Smooth Scrolling with joystick (but sms msg's will start at the bottom)
1 = Default scrolling by link vs joystick
Navigate without stylus
The default behaviour for your device's four-way direction button in Pocket Internet Explorer (PIE) is to jump between hyperlinks/form fields on a web page. To change this behaviour so that the button scrolls the page left, right, up and down, use the following tweak:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 0 (DWORD decimal)And to re-enable hyperlink/form field navigation:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1 (DWORD decimal)You may still jump between links using Tab and Shift-Tab using the built-in hardware keyboard.
See the Hermes and/or Universal wiki for many registry tweaks, etc
That worked for me
Thanks

Your Web Everywhere: Opera Mini 4 hits the streets
http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2007/11/07/
After three betas we're proud to release the shiny new Opera Mini 4 to the world.
We've done a lot with this new Opera Mini. For example, we rewrote the entire code for Opera Mini 4 and added lots of improvements and new features to make the browser even better.
Opera Mini 4 is based on the same rendering engine as the Opera 9.5 desktop browser. The browser still has a very small install size, less than 100k, even though we've added all these cool new features.
With all the time and work that we've put in on our end, we wouldn't be able to bring you the world's best mobile browser without your help and support. We owe a great amount of appreciation to all those of you who helped with our beta testing, bug reporting, and providing feedback in the Opera Mini forums and on your blogs. Thanks.
So what have we done with Opera Mini 4?
Opera Link
We've added support for Opera Link in Opera Mini 4. With Opera Link, you're able to instantly synchronize and share your bookmarks and Speed Dial with the Opera browser for your computer.
Overview mode
Opera Mini 4 includes a new rendering architecture that allows you to view webpages just like you would on your computer. When you first load a webpage, Opera Mini will show you an overview snapshot of the page; using the new mouse cursor you can instantly zoom in to the selected region of the page.
Size of text fits width of screen
Opera Mini 4 dynamically changes the size of the text on webpages to fit the width of your phone's screen, meaning you won't have to scroll horizontally.
Context menu
A context menu is displayed when pressing the number 1 key. From the context menu you could change the viewing modes to 'Mobile view', reload the page, and show webpage information. When the mouse cursor is focused on a link, the Context menu will show you the link information (i.e. where the link points to, etc.).
Mouse cursor
With the mouse cursor you could scroll to any direction on the page and more easily click on links.
Scrolling shortcuts
Pressing these number key shortcuts will help you quickly navigate around the page.
2 - Page up
8 - Page down
4 - Go to the left one column
6 - Go to the right one column
5 - Zoom in and out
Create search
With this new feature, you could add any search engine of your choice to the Opera Mini start page. To add a new search engine, click on the search field, press the menu button and click on the 'Create search' option.
View pages in Landscape mode
By pressing the * and # shortcut keys, you could switch the page view to landscape mode.
New standards support
Support for HTML tables, CSS handheld stylesheets, and more advanced support for CSS have been added to Opera Mini.
Bi-directional support
With this new release we've also added support for bi-directional text, adding support for languages such as Hebrew.
Some other notable changes
Added support for small anti-aliased bitmap fonts
Simplified setup process
Improved image quality
Improved fit to width mode rendering
Simplified settings page
Added native blackberry menu
Dialogs are now displayed with round corners and alpha channel overlay windows
New and improved server side cookie handling

hey.. the beta 3 didnt last that long huh? so it's finally official! cool! :
Yeah, and don't forget to check out my related review here at the Wiki - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...t - even better than before, an ABSOLUTE MUST
GRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!
Thank you
Wow!
This is easily the best ever software for the pocket pc. What an amazing browser!
I wish opera made operating systems as well.
Damn i wish i could use it but I can't since port 80 is block on t-mobile t-zones plan. Is there any way to make mini's port be something else and make it work just like Opera Mobile works on t-zones plan
Opera Mini is the best and fastet Mobile Browser on the world (if you are using it with JBed).
Great piece of software.
Also check out my review of the final Opera Mini 4 at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344095
is it a good idea to tweak opera mini like the screenshot? especially for devices without a qwerty^^"
#3 go to top
#9 search
## forward
*# Change screen orientation
** Change windows size
all shortcuts above opera mini4 has built in are very convenient. unfortunately they aren't put in the menu and thus are almost inaccessible for users using a handheld without qwerty...
hopefully someone might be kind enough to help^^"
In pocket internet explorer, when you scroll with the 4 way pad, you go 1 page up or down.
When reading a forum or news item this is very annoying. Is there a way to change the page jump to (1 or 2)lines jump?
the register tweak :
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Navigation/4-Way Nav = 1
or
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Navigation/4-Way Nav = 0
doesn't change very much
Does anyone know a tweak?
Thanks in advance
You are using Internet Explorer ?
Well, yes... it's not a crime though
but i'd like to scroll line by line without a stylus.

My sentiments exactly
Some site i visit are not fully compatible with opera mobile.
but second time.
the topic is not why i'm using this app. but how to scroll line by line.
Have you tried Opera Mini ?
I have just downloaded and started to use Opera 10 Beta. Gotta say that it is a fantastic browser, definitely a step forward from 9.7. There is practically no 'checker board' when browsing pages and it is super smooth, seems to use less memory too so i would recommend it to anyone.
One problem though is that the zoom bar doesn't work on the D2. Not suprised to be honest but does anyone know of a simple fix? I know there was a fix for 9.7 on the LEO ROM's so maybe someone knows if that will work for 10.
Also the browser doesn't rotate anymore when the phone is put in landscape? But agree with #1, looks like an improvement!

Didn't like
I didn't like the beta and uninstalled it because the rotate and zoom didn't work. I have the HTC Pure. But now when I click on the internet button which used to pull up opera, it pulls up internet explorer. How can I switch that back to opera. I can still get to the old opera but through the start menu, so I know it is still on the phone. Is there a customizer to do that?

No problems for me
Which ROM are you using? I'm on Duttys R0 HG Sense 2.1. Would like to get to the bottom of this as it is only accessing certain forums that is causing freezes on my phone.
no problems here. I am writing this message from opera 10. I am using dutty's hgr3
For those that want to add the zoom bar to opera it can be done as follows:
First Create the following registry keys
- Open [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SmartTouch\Opera]
- Set String "ClassName"="Opera_MainWndClass"
- Set Dword "Mode"="4"
- Set Dword "WheelCount"="10"
Second Edit the "input.ini" (located in \windows\opera10)
- Change "Right = Zoom in, 10"
- Change "Left = Zoom out, 10"
- Change "Down = Zoom in, 10"
- Change "Up = Zoom out, 10"
restart your device, all should be good

Input.ini is in "Program Files/Opera Mobile 10/Profile"
And it's not so easy to get it working...
yes can you please confirm this works with the hardware zoombar rumpleforeskin? I looked in input.ini (in Program Files/Opera Mobile 10/Profile) And there are many entries for Right= etc. Which ini section should this be added to? In [Browser Widget]?
It's using Mobile View in the settings that breaks this version for me. Desktop view was fine when browsing xda forum.
Also I have seen that Opera 10 doesn't work well setting Mobile view.
I also have another problem, when I active Opera 10 from the internet tab touchflo, it send the following error:
Could not open file "file://localhost/home"
After if I overwrite this address with a correct url, Opera run very well.
Anybody knows how to solve this annoying error?

rumpleforeskin's idea doesn't work, also there is no "Opera" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\SmartTouch, there's "Opera Browser", dunno if it makes any difference
Where exactly do I put the Right/Left etc? the input.ini file has more sections, as wineds said.
Opera 10 Beta - lacking Zoom bar functionality not a problem
I've been trying the Opera 10 beta and have found that the lack of zoom bar functionality isn't an issue. Double-clicking on a page automatically zooms the browser to the right size for the body of text under the area double-clicked.
It actually is better that the default installation which I had to manually keep zooming to make the text fit.
Big +1 for this beta version on the TD2.
James.
