So, I was trying to add a fifth row to my Live Tiles screen, as I have 4.
According to this: http://www.ampercent.com/how-to-cha...e-rows-in-windows-8-metro-start-screen/10494/
There are a certain number of maximum rows you can add based on your screen resolution.
My screen has a 1366x768 (Not mentioned there). Based on that, I can only have 4 rows. But, what could happen if forced a fifth row with that registry hack? Anyone else tried that?

I have a 1080p screen and I tried to put it above what was allowed to 7 rows but after a reboot nothing changes. I even tried to put it to one that was supported but nothing happened again.

It resets the registry to 4 rows because it is also based on your screen size. Someone needs to find the hack that overrides the screen size limit. I have a Samsung Series 7 Slate that only has 3 rows and I think they are too big. I want them to be like my Lenovo Twist and have 4 so there is more harmony between the two but so far I can't figure out how Windows is getting the info for the screen size. Maybe the display INF?
Me too, i have an Acer W700 with full hd resolution and i nave only 3 rows. I hope someone can hack this to have more row and less big tiles.
I found the key to edit, it's:
\HKEY_Current_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ImmersiveShell\Grid\Layout_AvailableHeightCells
In my Acer W700 the number is 3, the problem is that if i change it to 4 or 5 the system reset it back to 3.
We need a hack...

from another thread...this also worked on my i7 PC:
see below for the reg tweak:
1. open notepad
2. post following line:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Scaling]
"MonitorSize"="12.1"
3. save as a .reg file
4. import into regedit
5. restart surface
6. enabled will be 4 rows and 9 rows in portrait when you go: settings: tiles: show more tiles

In landscape it should just work - no need to flip the tiles setting. It is only needed for portrait. Make sure you reboot. I've done this on numerous PCs and it worked, even on my 1080p desktop PC/monitor. let me tell you, 4 tiles sucks on a 24" monitor!
I did make one omission, because I copy/pasted from my phone. You MUST close the space in the reg path in "\Curr entVersion\" or it won't work. It appears the forum breaks the reg path there, for some reason, even if you type it right.
One other thing to consider: the critical setting is: "MonitorSize"="12.1"
You could experiment with the numbers, although I have no idea what they mean. I do know that the guy who discovered this hack initially had the setting @ 10.1 instead of 12.1, which made the on screen keyboard too small to use.
I was posting the same solution from Surface's thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2086240
It worked for me, i changed value to 13.1 and now i have 5 rows

Try to increase size (13.1-14.-15.1 etc.).

Hi everyone
this is a digital clock (& date) plugin for today screen that i found on this website:
http://www.nakka.com/soft/ptools/index_eng.html
I changed the background to black & the numbers to white & i use it now like the iphone on top of my today screen
its nice & small in size.. you can also customize the location, font size, and colors
the date is cousomizable (by prog options & through registry) but the problem is that the clock is only 24 hour format
i was hoping that someone here can look and try to get it to do 12 hour format (9:00 pm instead of 21:00)
if you can tweak to make that adjustable though its own options that would be great (eg. 09:00 - 9:00 - 9:00 pm ..etc) but even a registry tweak would be great for now as i hate the 24 hour format
2 files attached (installation & source)
thanks
iPhone look alike today clock & date
No programers here that can look at the source & develop a new CAB that makes the clock in 12 hour format???
I am disappointed... over 170 people looked but no responses...
this clock sets at the top of my today screen & it shows the date too...the font size is nice & it looks like iPhone or Slide2Unlock size & look after i changed it & reversed the colors
its very small in size & if you use the navigation it will jump over it to the next lower today plugin, which means that you get to the important items that you want to click
please can someone figure how to customize to 12 hour format?????
it seems thats the only thing missing now & with the source & original CAB provided i thought it would be easy for Xda-pros
Thanks
Have you looked at "rlToday"? it does the samething
smaller & centered
i checked rlToday
i still think tdClock is smaller in size & better ceneterd in the screen specially when the hour changes from 9:00 to 10:00 for example with an added digit (always centered)
if someone can just figure out how to do 12 hour format
Thanks

the original site (in Russian) >> http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=27712&st=0
the formats of Time and Date are 100% customiz-able!
detail discussion (in Chinese) >> http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=129&t=413779&last=3911609
by the way, the font size, position and even the font itself can be customized.
how to do: (take the attached screenshot as an example
1. install the cab
2. tap the time/date display on the screen >> tap Settings
Settings page
3. set the format of date to : dddd. dd. MM. yyyy (means weekday, date, month, and year)
4. set the format of time to : h:mm:ss tt (means hour(12hr), minute, second, and am/pm)
5. set the height of module to : 55 (to layout the module's height)
6. set both left space and right space to : 10
7. click "show icon clock"
Font page
8. choose whatever font you like, Tahoma in my case (you can change it to your content by copying new fonts to the windows font folder)
9. set the height of date: 11
10. height of time: 25
11. Vertical align (date) to "top"
12 Vertical align (time) to "Bottom"
13. Bold to "Black"
Colors page
14. tap text and background color and choose whatever colors you like
Note: "/", ",", "-"or whatever can be added to the format of time and date to seperate items. however, "\" means word wrapping. it is used only if you want to wrap the format of time or date to two or more lines.

WOOT! Thank you so much for this little gem, just what the wife was bugging me about, a clock with seconds!!! I even went so far as to make it into an OEM package for cooking, pls find attached.
Ok, I've tried BUT
Can't get the line wrap to work.
Where does the \ go?
ALso, is this the latest version? I can see mention of AlDate 1.12 on the web but can't read Russian or Chinese ;-)
WordWrap
well actually its \n that is used, normal imbeded notation
so this "ddd,\nMMM dd" would display as this
Wednesday,
Oct 24
Hope this helps.
That's fine but
Ah, I see. the example above works as well for putting the clock underneath the date.
thanks a lot
Thanks... & Font Request
Thanks alot for the great program
this one does exactly what i want
i no longer use the rlCalender
& started to use this one
i am able to place clock & date in middle of today screen and adjust size & color
Does anyone have the font used in Silde2Unlock clock? its similar to iphone, i think its Arial???
and can you please post instruction about the OEM version? i downloaded the file but not sure how to install or what is it used for?
Thanks again
Graet program

How did you make the morning/afternoon show as AM or PM all mine does is a.m. or p.m.? It takes up much more room and I want my font as large as possible.
I have tried various combinations of the time format - tt, t, TT, T, but they don’t work. Am I just being to blind to see something really obvious?
New Version
Hi all
i found a newer version of AlDate
its 1.0.9
the old one posted earlier was 1.0.8
they look exactly the same even the option menu

Ok, I think this one is gonna need a sticky. I got sick of having to type in all of the shortcuts in the registry editor to change the cube, so I wrote this little spiffy app. It allows you to customize the 2 sides of the cube with shortcuts. Just make sure you know what you are doing as far as what can go where. Enjoy!
Version 1.1 - I got tired of waiting for the file browser to refresh everytime. Now you only have to wait for the first time, after that it is cached.
Version 1.2 - Added IconPress to the 6-App Side, and IconPlaying, IconPlayingPress, and IconPress to the 3-App side.
Version 2.0 - Added param for 6-App Side and 3-App Side. Added links to animation files. Added GUI for app selection for 3-App side and 6-App side.
Version 2.1 - Squashed the bugs that were coming up. Sorry I didn't test it enough before releasing.
Version 3.0 - Now supports multiple 6-App sides (See Polen's Vista Cube)!! Added reset to defaults. Automatic shortcut selector or browse for apps. Fixed the bug where the Program Files directory wasn't showing up in the Browse tree.
Version 4.0 - Added support for the iCube , animation configuring for newly added sides, export settings to .reg file, and icon image preview*.
*The icon image preview must be set up correctly to work. It all depends on the naming convention used. Polen's icon packs work with the preview. Since the .brn files cannot be rendered, a .bmp file must be placed in the directory with the .brn having the same filename or following Polen's naming convention (ex. ie.bmp -> ie_top.brn, ie_top_press.brn).
I tried testing it with the stock cube, Polen's 6 sided cube, and the iCube, but may not have caught everything, so if you find a bug, let me know!
SORRY!!! I left out a file from the .cab, it's all fixed now! Enjoy!
Version 4.1 - Fixed a bug in the export settings and the Save button was getting disabled.

difference between this and touch settings???
ok one question
when i make Icons. I save them as a BMP 24 bit, then i can just BMP to BRN and it will work?
also you just install CAB and go. Do you have to stop any processes before going. I guess i wont wait for Touch settings. This looks like it will work great???
just need to know if i need different icon sizes for the 3X2 and Media Hub????

Without wanting to detract from what you have done, you may also want to look at 'Touch Settings' which has this functionality already. (now works on the Vogue) See:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556 (main thread)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347892 (vogue support thread)
in your post though it said that you cant do Iocns yet on the sprint touch this one i believe if you just set the filepath you can!
also carlos kind of in response to my other thread in the vogue forum.
I was at my friends house playing w/ his sprint touch, downloaded some icons from my website, and put them on w/ this prog. I just saved files to the windows folder with BRN extension and it worked? Idk if it will w/ touch settings, but this one works for that purpose....
still not sure though if you need different size icons for mediahub..???
also still my question..... do you have to stop running the mediahub.exe or w/e the file is called before installilng this puppy?

As of yesterday's build Touch Settings can display / change Sprint (BRN) Icons. Simply tap the pictures to change.
great! ive heard so many great things about the touch settings program.. That i want to continue using it.
My question is are the pics still fuzzy when you use BMP to BRN. OR are they clear like sprint pre installed logo's.
my final question, and i know its been asked, can i use the 119 by the other dimension for both the 3X2 and Media Hub Screen?? What dimensions do i need? on the pics?
also i heard about Media hub not closing? is this true or is it fixed?
Would this work for the Bell Mobility version of the HTC Touch? (Canadian carrier, with a version of the Sprint vogue)
what i dont understand is th animation tab. I know how to make my own icons and stuff, my question is... like what is the animations brn?? What do i have to make for those. Do i need to change it?? I have all custom icons, does animations matter?

those are the images that are shown when changing from side to side. You don't have to change them, but you now have the option.

What I'd really like to see is the ability to add QDail sides to the cube like you can with the Aplauncher. Has anyone got that working? I have more than 9 frequently called contacts and would love to have at least 2 sides of contacts - one for personal and one for business would be perfect.
But now that I've typed all this...I just realized that you didn't write the 6-sided cube app, right? I just integrates with yours....
I've been using the Touch Settings program from Carlos -- I'm anxious to see how this one works, too. Thanks to both of you for your hard work!

I played with your program yesterday (okay, let me be honest...I spent 20 hours in the past 24 hours making new cube graphics and drinking coffee until it was bleeding out my ears) and it's wonderful. In combination with the 6 sided cube it's a really great ap.
This may be from a total lack of sleep and the really nice caffiene buzz I've got going, but I'm a bit confused regarding the rotation anims and how to set them via the anim tab.
Is there a way to specify different transition graphics sets between sides 1&2, 2&3, and 3&4? It seems like the default is set to use C0-C5 for all rotations of the Launcher. Am I missing something? I was that the VistaCube program installed D0-D5 so manually created my own and added them to the Windows directory. My D series seems to be applied to those transitions eventhough the animations page shows C0-C5.
Is there a way to get to a drop down menu specifically for the extra sides or is this something that must be done manually? And in either case...how would I set it up to have separate anims for each of the different sides?
The main reason I ask is because I'm planning to use rather generic icons on my launcher pages so that I can swap out programs whenever I want without having to update the graphics on the cube. For example...I have an MP3 player icon that says "Music" on one page. I can assign that to Mort, or WMP, or anything else I want and not worry about the icon. That allows me to put the icons into the rotation graphics so it's a smooth transition and I don't see the "flash" when the app icons load on top of an otherwise different background.
Whew...long-ass question for something so simple. Any help would be appreciated!

What I'd really like to see is the ability to add QDail sides to the cube like you can with the Aplauncher. Has anyone got that working? I have more than 9 frequently called contacts and would love to have at least 2 sides of contacts - one for personal and one for business would be perfect.
But now that I've typed all this...I just realized that you didn't write the 6-sided cube app, right? I just integrates with yours....
I've been using the Touch Settings program from Carlos -- I'm anxious to see how this one works, too. Thanks to both of you for your hard work!

Did you ever figure out a way to add another contact side to the cube?
I just installed the CubeConfig3.0.CAB
In the usual screen that says successfully installed and if you need more room... It is followed by a message I have not seen yet:
The program you have installed may not display properly because it was designed for a previous version of Windows Mobile software.
FYI
EDIT: I'm running the unmodified WM6 on a Bell CDMA Touch (Vogue - 128MB RAM/256 MB ROM)
Hmm I never got that one.... I'm running the exact same phone as you, MM.
I just got my HD and is brilliant !
Does anyone know if we can use Schap`s tweak on the HD ?
First thing I installed after Net3.5, runs all ok without any problems so it seems.
Have set all the tweaks I'd done for the Diamond and it restarted fine, also changed the icons to 4 across and that's fine too..
Schaps 3.3 I installed.
ooh can we see a screenshot of the 4 column version of programs on the HD? You would probably hardly need to scroll as everything would be on one page.
Aye, I'll upload when I get home
Here's a screen shot - I use the cab file to make this change though not the Config tools

Which cab file did you use - pls post it ...!
THANK you
If you have a registry editor you can also add the settings yourself:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Add New Key “IconConfig”
In there Add DWORD Value:
“HorizontalIconSpacing” Dec value=”112″
“VerticalIconSpacing” Dec value=”115″
“IconTitleFontSize” Dec value=”6″
then softreset - voila!
You can use Schaps too to do the change, the settings are under the user settings at the top. Just change the values to the ones above..
Just tried it with Schaps ACTool and it workedd perfectly
Thanks to Trixster101 for the hint!

Good tweak. Thanks for the tip.
Has anyone tried to put 5 icons per row? If so, what should be the values of those registry?
Edit: yes. I now have six icons per row.
I have horizontal spacing : 75
Vertical spacing :115
Icon size:5

I use the Advanced Config v3.3 and its wonderful . I have managed to set my opening animated gif from HTC to my own ones and with my own WAV audio file and to rename my Bluetooth name to what I want... That tool is epic and very easy to use.
As it warns tho, be careful because improper use can much up your phone. Im very happy with my new customisations.
hey all
as i found, we edit /system/build.prop as follow
change
qemu.hw,mainkeys=0 can enable softkey
change
ro.sf.lcd.density=240 we can change the resolution ratio
but when i change the value of ro.sf.lcd.density from 240 to 260 and reboot
the screen size of HD2 become ugly, font size are too big and cover one by one.
and the icon became more big too
which parameter can i change to fix this issue
all i want to do is resize the bottom navigation bar without changing anything else.
my current ROM is HD2 android [4.0.4][720p] NexusHD2-ICS-CM9-HWA V2.9a [NativeSD]
hope you guys can help me
I usually find mine in the settings & set it to around 24 so that it can be as small as possible

yes, but i try to find a usual method to config it out, many of ROMs doesn't give a UI support of this issue
OP, try to follow these instructions

The density setting in build.prop changes every size onscreen not just the bottom like you need.

Hey guys today am going to share a registry key that could help you to get better screen resolution in all apps. I tested it on my device and it is giving good result
PATH: SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme
KEY: FontScale
VALUE: any value b/w 10 to 100 (recommended 50)
I hope it helps you
Click thanks if you like
Got any comparison pics?
Looks neat to me, using the UserPreferenceWidth did the same but for some apps only, i thought we could add the fifth button in action center with this too.
Any key for that?
you did not get a better screen, you just made the text smaller
under ease of access you can do this , Text size

No in ease of access you dont get as low as he has mentioned.
Use UserPreferenceWidth=75
that too gives lower font size

weird, it worked for me on Lumia 525, u need to restart the phone once u edit the registry, atleast that was what I had to do to get it to work. Remember to pin the Preview for developers app to the start screen before u restart the phone or else it disappears from the app list.
i.e if you use the PfD reg tool hack
That on my Lumia 525, pretty sweet, no much use though
Any key to change font?
This is a lot better to add this key insteed change font scale!!
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Control Panel\Theme]
"UserPreferenceWidth"=DWORD:0x0000004B
& for 5 actions button:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Settings\QuickSettingElements\Pinned]
"AllowedQuickSettingsElements"=DWORD:00000005

With AllowedQuickSettingsElements=6 I have 6 actions button or my phone doesn't boot in your opinion?
Or nothing change?
