Hey,
What does it do?
Disables "Align Screen"
Motive:
While playing games with my HTC Mogul I've stumbled upon an annoying thing, whenever you press the middle D-PAD button + Message Button, the "align screen" window pops up and won't go away until you complete the alignment process. This sucks considering I never really need to align my screen and I do need those buttons to play comfortably.
Anyhow, I couldn't find any other working solutions so I coded it myself.
I used some pretty advanced hooking techniques and I'm pretty sure this will work on every device with no tailoring. I'd appreciate any feedback stating what device you tested it on.
Instructions:
1. Install the cab.
2. Run "disCali" form Start Menu > Programs, this will disable the align screen function from your entire device until soft-rest (even from the control panel).
3. Run it again and it will restore everything back to normal.
hope you'll find this useful,
amit
Thank you thank you thank you testing right now will let you know
nice app ..
create an empty file naming welcome.not and copy to your SD card. and insert it in your phone it should stop screen align

This app has nothing to do with preventing the after-boot welcome "align screen", it's meant to prevent the hot-key "align screen" pop up during every day use of the device.

OOOps my bad
thought you wanted to stop the align screen... as in my device the only time i get align screen is after hard reset....
keep up the good work dude......
i really need a disCali version which doesnt show the message to call it at startup. or one which only shows the "re-enabled" message, but did not inform about disabling.
If you could make my wish come true, i would be really thankful!
thanks anyway for this useful tool!
Andreas
Thank you!
This annoyance is now finally gone.
Too many times I've pulled my phone out of my pocket with an "align screen" staring at me.
Maybe with normal locking this can't happen but I'm using S2U2.
very useful!
thanks amp3r!
now i can assign the volume buttons and center dpad button in Final Burn on my Opal and play it without the annoying Align Screen.
Stucked at Align Screen

thanks for this beautiful innovation.........u actually went to think Outside the Box to achieve this..........I am stucked in here....I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 which refuses to align screen after a hard reset.How do i implement this solution of urs to try and see if it would sove the problem??I have tried the remote pingy thing,it bypasses the Align screen but my fone becomes useless.....Nothing on the screen works including the key board...I presive this would be a better solution provided the Aligning of the screen is taken care of in the File you have written and uploaded
If you find that it's really difficult to type using the hd2 - I advise you Align the screen.
The device doesn't make you do this when you first boot it but I found it solved my problem.
go to....
settings >> menu >> all settings >> system >> screen
I advise you not to use a stylus to do this but your finger - may be a bit tricky but if you can touch the crosses accurately enough with your finger you will find this benefits you when using everything.
I also turned on ClearType as I always had that on and default is off.
hope it's not been mentioned already.

Thats really good to know. A lot of people said that with capacitive screens you don't align them but with my Hero I had to.
Very very good news, thanks for this
I think it has a lot to do with the keyboard manager.
I've tried HTC's, Resco's and SPB's keyboard, and SPB is by far the best for fingers, since it does not change letters after you type them, and it even allows full-screen keyboard when you need to type a lot of complicated symbols.
Resco's is too small and makes it hard to type symbols besides letters; HTC's is overly predictive and corrective to the detriment of productivity. SPB just works.
Wow!!! What a diference. You barely even need the predictive keyboard after aligning the screen.
good to know for when it arrives, thanks!
im pretty sure I posted this, but im dead tired, so since im here...
anyone tried this keyboard, http://www.mobiletextinput.com/about.php
yeah someone who had a HD2 before me told me they had to hard reset after trying align..
so I tested it earlier (just to see) and of course it works fine.. typing is now a joy rather than a bear to use !

hard reset would just clear away the setting causing you to do a new alignment, back and fort
think you mean soft reset?

I know EXACTLY what I meant, thank you very much!
the guy who tried the screen align could no longer use the screen, so resorted to a hard reset to get rid of it.
I'm wondering what they did wrong to cause it not to work...

After posting above I did run into some trouble in landscape mode. However, a soft reset got everything working perfectly.
After using resistive screen we need to remember to raise fingers that little bit further when typing. I'm beginning to type pretty fast now without mistakes.
So are people definately finding improvements in accuracy of typing when using aligning feature or is it best to leave it alone?

problems with typing
I did align the screen and turned on the cleartype.
After doing that it was just a tad better than it was before.
And it was a nightmare !!
But i tried to turn cleartype OFF.
And it is alot better now !!
Does anyone find it annoying how sentences don't actually automatically capitalise after using a full stop?
I have 'auto capitalise new sentence' option ticked under input settings too. Oddly, it auto capitalises after the use of '!' and '?' but just not a full stop...
I too am finding this keyboard hard to use. Sometimes impossible. I have aligned the screen and am trying to be as gentle as possible. In fact I find u don’t even have to touch it to set it off. Just hover your finger above the screen. And even hovering your finger above it can cause it to go mad and press every button in sight.
Sometimes if I press backspace repeatedly, it will press m, n, b, and v buttons too for me. I mean that’s about a finger and a half away from where I’m touching.
I have tried using the keypad as the buttons are bigger and again here I find if I press 7 (pqrs) it can press the one button too, and u can see it twitching all of the place when u hold. I held the power button to get the shutdown/lock options screen up, and without even touching the screen it selected silent. I’m finding it very very frustrating. I have been used to using the iPhone 3GS for few months, which I hate, but so far the screen is miles better.
I even opened notepad and drew some lines and on some swipes u can see instead of producing a smooth line it jaggers all over the place. To me it seems over sensitive/broken, but from what others say is this correct? The touch HD input was better than this. But I have no problems using the phone elsewhere than the keyboard.
The phone is great but currently I’m hugely disappointed with the screen. And so its letting the whole unit down.
Am i being useless or does my unit sounds bust?

My HTC Hero does this also, which is quite annoying!
Ok, when the Touch HD was out there was a program which allowed you to increase the sensitivity of the screen, think it was HD Tweak. This improved the sensitivity of the screen quite well.
Maybe there is a registry tweak we can do to turn down the sensitivity of the screen to help out?
Has anyone informed HTC about this yet?
I found typing accuracy slightly worse after running the alignment process which is weird.
The problem is, we're blazing a trail with the HD2 as there are currently no other winmo devices with a capacitive screen. The HTC full qwerty doesn't seem to be ideally suited to capacitive - the keys register presses far too readily and sometimes, as your finger is lifted from the screen, it's very easy to register a press in an adjacent button.
After a couple of days using it, it seems accuracy and a light touch are the order of the day - until HTC (or another enterprising software house) release a keyboard that's actually tailored to the Leo
Is this setting is what need to be changed for changing the sensitivity?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Touch\Filter]

I have the same "issue" with Insomnia ROM.
Installed it and the alignment restarted itself.
I tried it 5-6 times then it closes. Same thing happens when Screen alignment is launched from the system tools.
Did you try to do it quite often? (more than 6 times in a row)

Hi. download this XBMOD,file deployer. Unzip and put on you desktop. Now start up your application Deployer (or Toms Deployer). Make sure phone is not in sleep mode. When the application deployer on your desktop has finished deploying, then go to the menu screen on your phone. You must have Touchxplorer still in there? If not put that in as well. OK here goes, Scroll to near the bottom until you can see XBMOD.Files.Deployer. Now tap that with your finger, it will open up, you can now see the CustClear.provxml, OK. Right now using the back arrow key on your mobile,push once and now you are in the menu again.OK now push the TouchXplorer, you will see yellow files there. You need to open my documents (Tap it twice), then you need to open the My Ringtones folder(Tap it twice). Can you see the CustClear.provxml file (Yes) OK now touch that until highlighted. then at the bottom of that screen, use your finger to push it up, or touch that 3 little full stops... scroll until you see the copy option. Now touch the copy. OK Just use the back arrow key again (Twice) until you come back to My Device. Scroll it up a bit until you see the yellow Windows folder. Now tapit twice untilthat opens.It will take a bit of time, but once you see it open with yellow files, then go to the bottom of you screen and tap the 3 little ... again. scroll until you see paste.OK Hit the paste, Thats it. Back out of the settings using the back arrow button. go to the about screen, and it should now show HTC HD7 T9292. If so then you have Cracked it.(IF not, do it again slower this time?) now go to hotmail and try logging in. It should fail, and then you touch the error message, it now shows the activation screen. now put the codes in, re log into your account..Job Done.

Zedbed, Trevor,
I might be wrong about it showing before registering? Try registering, and see if it has changed. No problem if it shows you LEO7, as you have not used up your activation key.
Give that a try and let me know, and i will change my posting.

Did you do the guide I linked you to?
Hard reset your phone and do everything in the guide form begining to end, Do not skip and do not do it on your current setup.
Start a fresh.
To hard reset hold volume up/down when you see the 1234 on magldr and keep holding them till the DFT screen has changed to white screen with instructions.

You may be using the wrong custclear.provxml file! The same thing happened to me and I couldn't change LEO70 to HD7 until I went to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=911579 download the toolkit that's in the first link you see, and used the XBMODDeployer.xap that's in the toolkit.
Copy to ringtones, copy to Windows folder in WP7 & use Connection Setup to provision as usual. Only by doing these steps will you be able to see HD7 when you go to the about screen. If that doesn't work, hard reset and try again.

Hey,
I have an HTC HD and love it. But I have a problem with screen.
When I push at the middle of the screen, it perceives the command wrong and acts like i push at the bottom of the screen. And when I push start button, it acts like I push the clock.
Aligning the screen from Settings menu works but only for 5 or 10 minutes, then it break itself down again.
What can I do ?
Thank you !
