I remember I saw this posted a couple months ago
Once you align the screen, you may find that the default setup was actually better than your own (speaking from experience)
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\
There is a string called calibration data, it is this that changes everytime you align the screen.
The default value is:
287,479 57,96 57,864 518,864 518,96
(commas and spaces are present)
Perhaps someone can even make a cab out of that
Hope this helps someone

Hey guys,
I was wondering if you might give me some suggestion and comments about the application i just developed, well its my first ever developed app for smart device so i hope u don't mind. For HTC magicians only i guess unless other models have the same registry structure for the camera settings.
Features
-Save profiles
This application allows you to save settings and name it as profiles, thanks to kta and deuxani for providing some configs which i made as preset in the meantime.
-More camera settings
-and some more...
Just try it out
Known issues:
-Profile has no immediate effect
If any of u guys know how to make immediate effect after modifying registry please let me know, afaik i had to do a soft boot or just click on "reset" on the camera settings.
-Error if click 'Apply' on empty profile
Well, haven't put any exceptions handlers just yet, need to know more bugs first
Need comments about ease of use and user interface also bugs if u happen to find any. I try to make it as simple as i can. Thanks all.

Great!
Just installed it! Works fine!
Excellent, maybe a little addon after you select a profile directy start the camera ( this is the reason you start it )
Keep up the good work!
First Thanks on this Idea!!
Will test further and report back.
What do i wrong ? It doenst do anything for me except show me the frame rate ... :?
Thats what i meant by "immediate effect" which i haven't figure out yet, you must go to the camera settings and adjust and click on "reset" because I was able to change the registry for both settings (ie. Contrast and Contrast_User) but i think the camera needs something so it can "refreash" and get the values from the registry which also does on the ambience. I hope someone can figure this out..
::adit
great job adit
if you are looking for more advice about developing this plug-in.. I suggest to post this topic in the Development and Hacking forum.
keep up the good work :wink:
Nice job, and its working.
I've tried this app and i have a problem:
in the registry i have 2 values for each parameter (for example brightness and brightness user)
The software change the non user value but if i softreset my Magician user's values becomes default. I must open configuration and reset values and they becomes like the non user values.
Is there another solution?
I've also tryed to delete user keys but after a SR they are again.
Sorry for my english

The application changes both default and user (default ie brightness, and user ie brightness_user). I did this to make sure that even after a soft reset since the effect does not change immediately, the values are not changed. If you find it inconvenient, i'll rebuild the application so it changes only the xxx_user (ie xxx=brightness)? For the time being, if you want to reset the settings to the original state change all values in the non user to '5'.
Nope, I don't have any great advice, just questions.
Goodlink replaces the standard WM5 password screen with its own (and it was pushed to my 8525 by security policy). The GoodLink password screen has a big problem: it does not have the on-screen keypad, so I have to open the keyboard every time. And given the maximum 30-min time-out, that's really annoying.
I wanted to return the original WM5 password screen. I found the following key: HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw with two values: DLL and GLOrigDLL. DLL is a string value "\Windows\password.cpl", the GLOrigDLL is a string value "lap_pw.dll". I hoped that changing the DLL value to "lap_pw.dll" would do the trick, but it didn't, even after a soft reset. No change whatsoever, no errors, still getting the GoodLink password screen.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Check if you have a redirect at:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Password
"Redirect" = "\windows\password.cpl"

No, the value is not there (there are only three values there now: Group, HintCounter, TimeOut)
Almost what you want...
In the key HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP you will find the value
"ActiveLap"="GoodLap"
or something like "Good..." - I can't remember. Corresponding to this is the key
HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\GoodLap
which serves the same function for the GoodLink security authentication as does the key
HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw
for the default MS security authentication. If you change the value of "ActiveLap" mentioned above to
"ActiveLap"="lap_pw"
you will find that it reverts to the MS authentication that was there before the GoodLink lap. BUT BE CAREFUL! I made the change as I described, and it did indeed revert to the MS authentication, but somehow when GoodLink installed their lap, the password data for the old MS lap_pw was changed, and I cannot get in to my phone now!!!! (It didn't change the "hint" information, but the "hint" information is rather useless if the password was changed but not the hint!!!) I think to avoid this, you need to create the key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Policy\LASSD\AuthReset
and put in the value
"AuthenticationReset"(REG_DWORD) = 1
Unfortunately, I didn't see this until it was too late...
Anyone have any ideas for my problem????
Correction...
Well, I discovered that resetting the device also resets the lap settings. At least, it did the first time, but not the second time, so I almost recovered, and then really screwed it up. Also, the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Policy\LASSD\AuthReset
doesn't work as advertised... so you're probably thnking "better you than me"....
Thank You Mobile registry editor!
It turns out that one can still edit the registry using Mobile registry editor, so I am saved once again. But still don't know how to get lap_pw working. I think that GoodLink screws up the value
HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\Pin
by setting it to , thus making it impossible to login after switching to lap_pw. Just a guess. Can anyone confirm that this "value" is ordinarily signifigantly different from 0/1/2/3 etc., thus supporting the guess that it stores your Pin in an encrypted form? (Hence setting it to 1 makes lap_pw unuseable unless one can reset the lap_pw pin without knowing the old pin)
Also, it appears that ActiveSync resets the authentication policy back to the GoodLink LAP. Ouch.
I suspect that to get lap_pw to allow a pin reset, one needs to construct the appropriate "Authentication Event" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Security\LASSD\AE
Anyone know exactly what is required?

Actually, it now appears that this value is NOT the encrypted pin. It seems that if it is 1, then lap_pw requests a pin, and if it is anything else, lap_pw does not seem to provide authentication (at which point, GoodLap kicks in, and how that happens is anyone's guess...) In particular, I set the value HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\ActiveLap = "lap_pw", and then if value HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\lap_pw\Pin is 1, the standard lap_pw asks me for my 4 digit pin, but if it is anything other than one, the standard lap_pw does NOT as me for a pin, and instead I get the same dialog as when HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\ActiveLap = "GoodLap", even though HKLM\Comm\Security\LASSD\LAP\ActiveLap = "lap_pw"!
It works, and doesn't work
Well that fixed the Goodlink lock screen, but now that I have the good screen back, the screen has the pad on it asking for the password and by just pressing the IE shortcut button, away it goes without a password. That is no good, how does that get fixed?

lmao. That is hilarious. Nice tight security again from MS. Well, I will give it another try now that I know how to get past the "PIN" screen. Note that there is functionality to "change" your PIN code, but I can't recall if you first need the old PIN to change it. Did you find, when you got rid of the GOOD pass-protection dialog and returned to the MS PIN pass-protection dialog, that your old PIN had been changed and no longer worked?
Hello,
I will come back to this post.
I am running Goodlink 5.03.23_EN on my Kaiser with the follwing ROM RUU_Kaiser_VF_UK_3.08.161.0_radio_sign_25.74.40.02_1.64.08.21. My company has an ITpolicy which is using:
HCU\ControlPanel\Goodlink\Password\ITLocked=1
HCU\ControlPanel\Goodlink\Password\ITLockedTime=6
etc.
The GoodLink password screen has still a big problem: it does not have the on-screen keypad, so I have to open the keyboard every time. And given the maximum 30-min time-out, that's really annoying.
To be honest, the timeout is fine, but the keyboard login is a pain.
All of the above hacks were not successfull.
- I have tried to change the above seetings, but they were renewed after each sync.
- I have redirect HKLM\ControlPanel\Password\Redirect=\windows\password.cpl with no success
- ....
Any new ideas ?

Change default keyboard - solution ?
Hi,
cause nobody has a solution for this issue, I will try the following.
I have found the following link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=363751) to change the default keyboard.
1. How can I create my own keyboard-layout - just only with numbers ?
Edit: works with http://pocketcm.com/keyboard2.php
2. Is there a way to set a pre-script ? Means, just before the screen is locked by Goodlink I will change the default keyboard to the new keyboard. After unlocking the screen, it should change again the keyboard.
Regards

I just came across this tweak on this website:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/Minimize_tapping_Pressure
I tried it and it works great. I now use less pressure on the screen.
What ever you do, don’t set the value below the default of 7526. If you do, you may set it too low, the sensitivity will be too low and you will have to perform a Hard reset.
Here is the tweak from the website listed above:
Minimize Pressure when Tapping the screen
Ever got used to tapping without screen protectors and suddenly you put some screen protector and have a pecuilar feeling (some-what like tapping harder than u normally do) due to the increase thickness of the protector?
Well i have gone to that and finally ive done some simple tweaks to my xda mini.
I also figure out this could lessen normal wear and tear(scratching of protectors/PDA screens) since lesser pressure is applied to Tap the screen
here's what i did..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\Touch
If not there try here:
HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel\ Pressure Threshold
or find 'Threshold'
Change the value of Pressure Threshold.(INCREASE value ONLY!!!)
what i did is set the value at 11880.
i tried doubling the default value. until i have reached my desired setting.
now,its like tapping soflty without having a feeling that i have screen protector. Also less stress on the stylus and screen and faster tapping.
WARNING: Only INCREASE THE VALUE BUT NEVER THE DECREASE THE DEFAULT VALUE.
Lowering the value of Pressure Threshold means you need to apply more pressure in tapping than you normally do.
ive tried this and when i soft reset, the screen won't react even if i apply deep pressure in tapping so i needed to do a HARD Reset!!!
So don't ever think of lowering the value, JUST INCREASE but NEVER LOWER!!
Tweak open for comments.
thanks...
Thanks, this tweak worked wonderfully!
I dont use a screen protector (for now at least) and I noticed an improvement in sensitivity as well when I set it to 11880.
disabling the touch pad configuration at startup
is it possible to disable the touch pad configuration at

wish anyone would help me with a rom that doesnt allow
you to configure the touch panel so you can go straght to

I posted a thread about this before. Nobody answered but I finally found the answer on my own. What you have to do is to make sure you have a storage card and put a file called welcome.not in the root of it. There doesn't have to be anything in it, you can just open notepad and save the blank file with that name. That tells the device to skip the whole welcome bit with the touch screen calibration and all that.
I may not have the name exactly right, it's been several months. But if you do a search on threads started by me you can probably find it.
i saw this in another link and they said to put it at 240, i listened and i had to hard reset. thank you for clearing things up buddy
hey, the link for the program is bad i was wondering if any one could post the a link for it i have looked everywhere. I have a prob. alighning screen and would like to see if changing the sensitivity will somehow help.
Use Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool. Saves you a ton of brainwork, since it's just doing the registry edits for you. Can also be used to tune your Bluetooth Stereo setup, and a host of "basic" UI modifications.
Hi all at this forum

Increase the sensitivity of Touch Screen
I just came across this tweak on this website:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocket...pping_Pressure
dont work anymore...
Has anybody got an actial link???
And... Does this work for a samsung i900?
With regards
VArmand
Works great for me - thanks colouro
For the max senstivity set both fingerpressure and threshold to -1 or FFFFFFFF in Hex..
I went to change my touchflo sensitivity in HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel\PressureThreshold and the DWORD data was at 11000? I thought the default was supposed to be 18866? The Base that was selected was Dec. I was planning on changing it to 20866 but figured i would ask here to make sure i'm not gonna mess anything up
no problem i have it at 59866..............
That reg value is set when you do the screen alignment. I aligned my screen 3 different times last night, and got 3 different numbers renging from 17XXX to 18XXX.
ok, thanks
Do you need to soft-reset after this? I'm assuming not since the screen-alignment process seems to make the change and then not require a soft reset.

Ok a lot of fun can be discovered from changing registry entries and seeing what they can do. Here is a small guide:
If an entry has a 0 it means it is disabled or off. If it has a 1 it means it is enabled or on.
Remember and make a note of any change you make in case you need to put it back.
Search for common words in the entries and see what they relate to and if they can be changed Eg:
disable, enable, show, hide, lsk, sms, boost, cache, icon etc. Go through each one. Make any changes you want based on logic of the entry and reset maybe. Go to the app where you would expect to see the change and see if your tweak has worked. If not change the reg back again.
Report back here any discoveries or potential discoveries you come across and maybe we can give advice on what should be changed in the reg entry.
Be in the frame of mind you may need to do a hard reset as a last resort so back up PIM first.
I will make a list of new potential tweaks soon and maybe someone could advise on how we can change it. Any changes found will be added to the hints and tips thread.
Here are a few to get started. Please respond with ideas if you can help and submit your own findings too.
1. HKCU\Software\HTC\WebSnapShot
Enabled currently set to 0.
Which app would use this if we enabled it?
2. HKLM\Drivers\BuitIn\GSensor
EnableShaking currently set to 0.
Sounds useful somewhere.
3. HKLM\Services\MyPhoneService
IsEnabled currently set to 1.
If we disable this if we don't use MyPhone will this free up some services/resources/memory?
4. HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Common
DisableCapAnimation currently set to 1.
I presume this means some sort of caputre animation when taking a photo (like the iphone when the iris closes). I tried setting this to 0 to enable it but saw no animation when I took the photo. Maybe something else needs to be done.
5. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging
DisableCacheWhenLengthierMessage currently set to 1.
This mean cache is off with long sms messages. If we turned on cache would this be good?
6. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCMessaging
ManilaEntry currently set to 0.
I set this to 1 but could not find any change. Maybe I am looking in the wrong place.
7. HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCSettings_Improvement
HavePersonalSecurity currently set to 0.
I have set this to 1 and a new option suddenly appears in the Manila Settings tab below About Phone option. It is ABPS, ISP, network location service (Personal Info Center). However tapping on it does not open it up. Hmmmm...
8. HKLM\Software\Tegic\T9
Prediction is currently set to 0.
I thought T9 prediction is already part of it? What could this do if we turned it on?
9. HKLM\Services\Windows Live\Plugins\Mail
Max Mail Headers currently set to 50.
Dy defualt Hotmai only downloads the last 50 messages. I tried changing this entry to 75 but no luck. Anyone else?
Anyone want to get involved? I think it could be a good challenge and we may discover a gem of a tweak.
