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..

Align using registry edit - SOLVED!

Hello,
Bad luck. I purchased a Hermes 100 but unfortuantely it have the issue of alignment and if i made the hard reset it keep asking again and again for the alignment.
I also try to remove the plastic that make the pressure on the LCD but it don't work for me.
By chance i read the thread that state to bypass the align screen by creating the welcome.not file on the storage card.
I created the file and got a chance to get access to the today screen but the problem not end yet the touch screen is misalligned completly. Now, whenever i try to run the allignment the program keep asking me again and again.
I hear that i may modify the registry settings to manually specify the align values. I installed the reg edit software using the storage card. Can someone tell me what values i enter and where...
It have Windows mobile 5 and IPL is 1.00 and SPL 1.04
Thank you and please help me....
****************************************************************
SOLVED: Whenever i restart now i have to manullay using the keypad goto the align screen in the setting. And the first align when it ask me for the realign i just press the power button and again once again to bring it back from standby and it is aligned automatically!
****************************************************************

Dude, getting a Hermes with alignment problems is not a good idea. It may need to have the LCD replaced, which isn't expensive but ther emay be other underlying problems too.
I don't know how you will fix it through the registry as it will just keep going out of alignment and all it takes is 1 HR then you in trouble again.
Best idea would be to replace the LCD.
Cheers...

I think that there is some issue in the ROM i think so as even if i connect it to the USB it keep charging but don't notify to the Activesync.
I don't know if these is rom issue or something....
Even in the bootloader screen it gives the name as :
HERM100
IPL-100
HERM100
SPL-1.04
Serial. even the USB is connected it keep the word serial on it.

Install Hard SPL then change rom...

Sorry, for my ideot question.
Do i am able to install hard SPL using memory card. And also it will save my current rom too or not. As i am scare if it got stuck on the align screen again?

It could be aligned by REGEDIT
Mmmmmm let me search the regs to be modded
and I will posted here... but your problem i more like hardware even if the align screen can be aligned your touch wont be fixed...
or not?
The key and settings are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1922,1957 3330,639 3317,3276 600,3230 609,677 "

Well, these values don't work for me. The only thing that is working for me is the solution that i paste in my question. But the only issue with it is that i have to do it again after every reset.
Do someone have the alignned file for hermes for the Remote screen alignment software?

There is from i get the reg

Touch screen delay after wake up

Don't know if its only me:
- Press END key (goes to standby)
- Press any key (wakes up)
- Quickly tap any icon --> Won't react
You need to wait about 1 second for touch screen to be enabled. No big deal but sometimes you are quick and this kind of "retards" your intention and forces you to do a 2nd tap.
Anyone?

Works fine here. At least I need a second to reach the top of the screen.

here the same but you must be really quick

Yup, annoyes the hell out of me, unlock the phone and use my other thumb to slide to unlock, nothing happens, have to try again and it works.

I am getting that, but is not a show stopper for me. have you try to use the 3rd party locking screen app?

i use s2u2. same problem here. no unlocking in the first one or two seconds after wakeup... does the processor maybe take some time to speed up...?

I don't think its the processor because its actually fast. Must be some internal software delay, maybe the touch screen driver 'wake up'...

Similar problem existed in the HD, i have it, and i tried out a fix posted by one of the forum members, as follows:
1.Make a file named - "welcome.not" and place this in the root of your storage card.
2. Hard Reset your device.
3. You will not be asked the screen calibaration thing, and this will solve your problem.
(How to create "welcome.not" = open notepad on your computed, and safe the blank notepad file with double quotes as : "welcome.not"
This will make the extension of the file as .not
Hope this helps!

Did you mean reset? or clearing the storage

CLEAN STORAGE. (A hard reset, my friend!)

Before making a hard reset i would wait for maybe other fixes or something as i cant imagine that HDs and HD2s problems are the same... Also i didnt figure out this bug on my old HD, even without "welcome.not"...
You can even start the screen alignment whenever you want. So what happens if you do an alignment after applying your fix? Problem back again?
Last thing: I would not recommend a hard reset with your SD-Card in the device as it ruined all my data on it. At least backup all you stuff from the card somewhere on the PC and try this fix with an empty storage card.
EDIT: I completely forgot: there is no screen alignment taking place after a hard reset on the HD2

Well that's weird because I read here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2139034&postcount=5 that it only needs a reboot and people confirmed it work that's why I was confused.

I posted an updated fix here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587931. If you don't want to hardreset, go into the registry and find HKLM\Hardware\DeviceMap\KEYBD and look for the entry "First Calibration." If it's there and the dword is 1 then change it to 0 and manually softreset. That achieves the same thing as bypassing screen alignment. Manually aligning the screen creates this entry, which is why if you use welcome.not and then later realign your screen, the problem comes back. To solve that you have to change the reg key again. I don't have an HD2 so I cannot confirm if the reg is there or if this would work on it, but it may be worth a try.

dont have my hd2 here at the mom (repair) but would be excited about testers and answers. Just cant figure out how screen alignment and wakeup-delay go together...but the thread mentionend in post above makes me hope

Neither in WWE Rom.
But there is a PassCalibration already with value 1.

Mines has the same problem, not very often but the problem is there. After wake up the tap just does not move or register my touch and because hd2 has such a large screen, they should have put the slide to the middle or at the bottom and not all the way to the top to slide unlock the phone.

@Skywatch:
For getting the slider on the bottom, search for Dusk lock screen in the HD Apps forum, and install that and u will get it on the bottom, it looks lovely! and I have 100% belief that it will work on the HD, as its the same OS and Screen resolution.
@All:
Regarding the Welcome.not, i read in the HD forum regarding the tweak, and it clearly said to HARD REST, or Re Flash your device and only then it will work. not with a soft reset.
This is to skip the Screen Calibration which happens after a Hard Reset and that has to be skipped.
if you have done this, and later you re align your screen, then the tweak will fall off its place. Another HardReset or ReFlash will be required.
No problems doing it with a mSD full of data as i have been flashing that way since past 4 years, without any problem. But, up to u!

pckshd, what are the other key entries besides PassCalibration?

It is actually at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\
Other values are AlignScreenNeeded=0, CalibrationData=287,479 57,96 57,864 518,864 518,96 and some more...
These values are from a fresh hardreset, never calibrated, and actually HD2 does not prompt for alignment. So I don't think the issue is related to calibration.
Delay still there

Need help with original WM6.5 lock screen resources

Dear all,
I installed Dusk 6.5 Lockscreen 6.5 but after a while I decided to go back to standard WM6.5 lock screen (the "new" one, with the slider). After uninstalling the Dusk Lockscreen, I cannot get the original Windows lock back. No matter what I set in Settings/Lock/Display, I have the "old & ugly" lock with left soft key.
Can anyone send me or post here the original HTC_LS_LockScene480x800.cpr, HTC_LS_LockScene_800x480.cpr, LS_LockScene480x800.cpr, LS_LockScene_800x480.cpr and all related registry entries for the Windows Lock application?
Many thanks,
Radu

yeah that would be great. i need this, too

Ditto - can't get the original slide to unlock method back either. =(

That's because what you are looking at IS the HTC lockscreen and yes it's mega ugly.
The one you want is the WM/WP lock screen and it is a pain to restore. But here is how you do it:
1. Delete the entire Key: HKLM\Security\Shell\Lock
2. In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen\* (SMS,EMAIL, etc)
2.1 Delete each entry for "application command line"
3. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen\Notificat ions\SliderFocus, SliderNotif and SliderNotifFocus edited the value to remove 'htc_'
4. Install TPC default_lockscreeen_enable.cab
5. Soft reset
This will get you back to the default Windows screen with the roundish keys and the three radio buttons (unlock, contacts, email).
Hopefully that is what you were looking for.
Credit for this goes to TwoPumpChump (TPC) he found it for me.

thanks a lot

How to lock also the Hardwarebuttons with the Default Sliderlock

Hello,
How to lock also the Hardwarebuttons with the Default Sliderlock.
I don't want to use a other Sreenlock Program.
I just like to lock the Buttons also when the Screen is loecked.
any Solutions?
Thanks

Are the buttons active at all? During screen lock, I guess only the endcall button is active, waking up your phone.

alex fung ,
you are wrong.
All hard ware buttons except vol buttons can walk the phone/ turn on the screen.

ah you are right. They wake up the screen, but the touch panel is still locked. Try TouchLockPro.

any simple solution please, touch lock pro is soo confusing...
and is there is some solution to lock phone on backlight off, i mean dim is activated not locking when the screen goes off
tnx in advance

Hope this helps
To lock the hardware buttons with the phone in lock mode try modifing the registry.( it is simple but do this at you own risk)
Install a free registry explorer like PHM RegitEdit im sure you will find here it on this site (regedit.Mrln_ARM.cab ) Donate if you like
When installed open and navigate to: "HKEY_CURRENT_USER",Then "ControlPanel",Then highlight "Keybd".
Change "DefaultKeyLock" value data to "1"
Aslo if you feel brave: HKEY_CURRENT_USER-ControlPanel-Backlight.
Change "AutoDeviceLockEnable" value data to "1"
This should activate the lock screen when the screen dims.
Good Luck
NB: You will need to soft reset for the settings to work!

...that part is not mworking on my HTC LEO withh updated offical ROM WWE.
I changed the registry , restarted and still the screen dims but noit locking ..after siome seconds screen goes off. my idea was to have screen locked on dim and stays like this for about 30-40 secs and then to go off.
any suggestion pls.
tnx in advance

HKCU->Control->Keyboard->DefaultKeyLock=1
and
HKCU->ControlPanel->Backlight->AutoDeviceLockEnable=1
is all i need.
It works like i would like to have it.
Thank you.
Touch lock pro is a realy nice program and i appreciate his work, but to me it has to many features.

I've been after this answer for a little while now, and was pleased to find this thread. But... when I looked at my registry settings they were already as you suggest, but all of the buttons along the bottom of the phone still wake it up. Is there another step that I don't know about? (I have tried soft-reset).
I'm running SPB Mobile Shell - perhaps that's getting in the way?
I'll keep looking for a solution and post here is I find anything.
Anyone else have any more ideas?

Thats a shame it wont work for you,It may be spb mobile shell, Rom related or an old locking program you had installed.
Shot in the dark but have you tried changing the values back, soft reseting and then changing them forward again and soft reseting?

registry not working on my HTC LEO too..

dang.. registry doesn't work on my Leo too..
any other way to solve this??

Try soft reseting.
only open your registry editor and make changes then ,wait for 2-3 minutes ( wont matter if your device goes off )
(If off wake device up)Then soft reset again.
otherwise use a different reg editor or flash another rom.
N.B or just use this, it is small and cool:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032

any recommended reg editor??

I never have a problem with PHM but resco is good.

Remember you will need to wait some time before windows stores the new settings properly. Soft reseting straight away probabley wont work.
