Advice: Fixing several issues with my ROM

I'm hoping to get a bit of advice, I'm new to ROM cooking but after a couple days I'm nearly there. Please see the list of issues and have a look if you know the solution to any of them. Many thanks, Andrew
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534946
prob: no longer asks for screen calibration on install.
fix: Do manually via Settings > Screen until I find a fix.
prob: after installed you'll get a white screen saying "please wait".
fix: Hit one of the top icons and it'll go away.
note: I'm looking for a fix without enabling HTC's RunCC.
prob: clicking the battery icon doesn't do anything (it should really invoke power).
fix: access manually via Settings until I fix.
prob: screen text is default (one size too large imho). Need to find the registry key to notch it down a level.
fix: do manually via "screen"for now.
prob: the background is a gif as I can't workout how to get the compiler to use a jpg for the Default_stwater.
fix: none
issue: slight colour banding because of it.
prob: empty Tools folder on Start-Menu.
fix: delete it from /Windows/Start-Menu/Programs
issue: can't find the location to kill it so you'll need to do manually.

I am also a noob cook but for the tilt. Ill be happy to help you with what I can.
The screen calibration depends on the build you are using. What build are you using?
I normally just take a jpg file and rename it and copy over the old one in the sys file.
As far as the empty folder you should be able to just delete the icon and then it will not be there. I am not sure how you have your kitchen set up. If you have a custom icon package in your ext folder then you can delete it there.
Not to sure about the text size but will look into it.
1
might be something with your kitchen
in some kitchens for diamond there is option to "disable everything other than screen calibration" (exactly opp. but that might cause some issue)
3
use advanced config and in "today" options select display battery on today screen
6
in your kitchen look for a file called "initflashfiles.dat" (NOT TXT)
it will be in "OEM_Lang_xxxx" folder (might differ)
edit that file and remove entry for the tools folder
and keep that file in "read only" attributes
1. already played with this option but it's not doing anything for me "disable everything other than screen calibration" ... It did work at one point
3. I don't want it on the Today screen I only want it to run the htcpower app when it's clicked.
6. "initflashfiles.dat">> no entry called "Tools" already tried that
Why does it matter if it's read-only or not?

Touch HD Manage Rotation Control without an APP (instant AUTO-ROTATE)

Just like A/B/C... you learn, you manage, then MASTER.
There are a million thread's about rotation control with application's, but i never found a solution to control rotation you can manage yourselve, using Gsensor without an application like: Rotate screen, accelerometer,Changescreen,G-config, Gyrator or G-sen to name a fiew.
I use WM 6.5 Energyrom with SPB 3.5.3 and use Rotate screen with the Send "Long Hold" button to rotate screens, but this function took a second or 2 to rotate and I dont like to wait %#*@%.
I wanted to auto-rotate my screen's without waiting for it. Just turn my mobile and the screen would follow .
I found a great solution by MAMV to rotate screen in SPD and this guy even made a .CAB, so it was downloading and installing and done. You can find it on XDA.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=616158 <many thanx to him and his solution>.
After installing I found out this would only rotated the SPD screens, not the HTC screens. SMS or Email was still in portrait view.
Using the explaination MAMV gave in his thread, i started my own function to rotate SMS and Email. It took me 2 hours to find the solution, but it works
I started looking if someone had the same problem and found a solution, but all came up with none, but i found a thread by David K. that gave me a good start... http://www.fuzemobility.com/gsen-now-enabled-in-more-apps/
START:
How it works and how you manage your rotation of applications yourselve without installing an APP for it, i will give my explaination how i did it for the SMS / MMS function. (this one works for Email too )
Using Total Commander, navigate to:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Calculator. Select File > Copy. \\\registry\HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName\Calculator
Select Copy and save it to \windows
Find the Calculator.reg "file" you just copied with Total commander. Rename it to whatever you like aslong as you keep the .reg . (I called mine Messenger.reg, this will return below at section B: 2)
A:
Adjusting the .reg file properties
Select this "File" and view the Properties. Edit the properties like this:
1: Select tab "Associate" and tab on the button Associate...
2: Change the "Command" to: \Windows\tmail.exe
3: Change the "Parameter" to: -service "SMS"
4: If i am correct the "Icon file" will auto fill itself, but should have these
parameters: \windows\tmail.exe
5: Index: 0 and -1001
Press OK and press OK again, now your .reg file is finished.
Explaination of parameters and how i found these:
The parameter at 3: i found out with Task manager V3.1 (other versions could work, but i have this one).
I first opened the sms box and then started Task manager and searched the process Tmail. Then looked at the path in this process and found \windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS". This i used in the "3: parameter" of the .reg file)
Then i looked at the Details of "tmail.exe" and opened the tab "Windows".
Here i found Window 7C0883E0 "SMS / MMS" Inbox.MainWnd (this i need in the registry and will come back below at B: 5).
NOTE: You can find the window 7C0883E0 easily, because it is the only one lighted up .
B:
Make new Registry settings for the assigning of G-sensor rotation to SMS / MMS
I used Total commander to navigate to: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
1: make a new string called "SMS / MMS".
2: Contents for <SMS / MMS>: \windows\Messenger.reg (our own made .reg file)
Hit OK and this one is finished.
3: Now navigate to: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
4: make a new string called "SMS / MMS".
5: Contents for <SMS / MMS>: Inbox.MainWnd
Hit OK and this one is finished too
C:
Getting the AUTO-ROTATION to work:
Just soft reset your device and find out if it works.....and i was happy that it did LOL.
This Thread was specially made for AUTO-ROTATION without installing an application.
Other applications can be done likewise, just find out the parameters and make the ABC
A: Change a .reg file parameters. (find your settings with Task manager)
B: Make new strings in the register @ "ModuleName" and "WhiteList".
C: Softreset your device.
Hope this was usefull to some of you.
Well Kwbr's latest 6.5 roms have it built in so maybe they might interest you. It can be quite annoying though tbh so your edits here might help out.
Thanks for the info.
I stick to Energyrom. It is as complete as it gets with applications and updates. Have tried many roms the last few months, but they all work the same.
Now i found out SPB mobile shell and am surprised how convenient it works. Even my main memory stays 50% so it works flawlesly.
Some edits/improvements made by my own makes it even more pleasant to work with
Regards,
Axelman

[Q] Lost my icons

I am using Androkidd on my device which is an Android type screen on which I created an icon directly to system settings and another icon which went directly to the "new text message" page.
I needed to move the app to the storage card and in doing so lost some quick launch icons. Therefore it was necessary to redo the icons lost, but now I cannot find the paths to the settings and new text message screens. I do not remember in which file/s they were located.
The links do not appear anywhere in the Windows directory that I can identify. A link to 'Settings' is found in the Start menu, but the path cannot be determined.
Can anyone help me? I'm up against a wall on this one.
Thank you.

If you moved the app, you should have some configuration or settings file, which should be readable in a text editor. Having said that, if you need the links to settings, take a look at this:

Hope this helps.

Owner ID

This is an easy question for some of you guys but I cant solve it,I have installed SPB mobile shell v3.5.5 and need to type in my owner id but can't find where to.I have looked everywhere.Do I have to do a hard reset and use contacts and "Me" then reinstall all my info or is there an easy way
Heres hoping.
Don
Hi Don, I had this exact issue and firstly it is possible, I did it.
Secondly I may not have done it the slickest of methods but at least this gets you there. I've tried to recall two routes depending upon where you are starting from.
a) HTC Sense UI:
If you are still in the original UI (HTC Sense) scroll sideways to the "Setting" tab. Touch the "Menu" softkey (bottom right) then "All Settings". You should then see a selection of icons from which touch "Today". That will get you to the old Today settings. See below for next steps.
b) SPB Mobile shell UI
If you are in this shell instead, hit "Launcher". You should now see an icon labled "Settings" (else swipe sideways to the second page to see it). Hit that takes you to a screen with more icons including one for "Today" with a cogwheel on the top of it. Hit that takes you to the old Today settings. Now see below.
Today Settings
Once here. Hit the "Items" tab. Remove any tick on the "HTC Sense" option (else the originally Today Screen won't appear later) and then tick the "Owner Info" option (and any others you fancy). Click on "OK" should now get you back to the old Today screen with the "Owner Info" today plugin showing. It can then be selected and the necessary info add. You can then go back into the today settings and re-tick the HTC Sense item if you want the original UI back and not the Today screen. Personally I use the SPB shell and the today screen rather than the HTC Sense.
I did this a long time ago so my recall may be a bit fuzzy for example; if the "Owner Info" isn't visible in the list of Items in the Today settings (it may not be) then you'll have to go into a reg editor (if you are comfortable doing such things) and navigate to :
[Mobile Device\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\]
Then ensure that the key "Owner Info" is present (add if necessary) and enable it (disabling "HTC Sense" at the same time as it seems to overide any other selection). If the key is missing (or you don't have a reg editor) and you need help at this level just drop me a line and I'll post a copy of my settings and suggest a few methods of accessing your registry.
Good luck.
Anybody found an easir way?

settings - menu - all settings - personal - owner
Sam,
Thanks but my phone doesn't have "owner" at the end of your sequence. I suspect Don is having the same issue (hence me originally having to go into the reg to get access to it to fix mine as nothing obvious was accessible). FYI this is independent of how I get there (through HTC Sense, SPB Shell etc).
Regards - Mallow1
PS I have an unlocked HD2 (none carrier specific) which looks to have originally been packaged for the German market (I'm in the UK and bought it online)
Just to add ti the conversation, my HD2 does not have the Owner when Igo to Personal either.
Ahh course, my mistake.
Hints tips reg tweaks sticky in Q&A section, tip 5 to unhide that option kindly hidden by HTC.
Thanks Mallow1 That did it,thank you all very much.I went to Today ,items and ticked HTC sense that gave me the chance to go to contacts and add the Me details.

Disable brightness slider in notification drop down

Was looking for this for a while and I found the solution in the Note edge forum posted by Skenderbeggar. Basically Samsung removed the option to hide or display the brightness slider, I personally don't use it and think it takes up a lot of space. This should work with all varients.
1. Get SQLite Editor (Does cost $. but you can use it for other things too)
2. Open it, and select the FILES column
3. Scroll to the DATA folder and open it
4. Scroll to the DATA folder within it and open it
5. Scroll to the COM.ANDROID.PROVIDERS.SETTINGS folder and open it
5. Open the DATABASES folder
6. Open the "settings.db "file
7. Click on the "system" file
8. Select "notification_panel_brightness_adjustment" (number 279 on my list)
9. Change the value from 1 to 0.
10. Save, close out and reboot.
Worked, thank u. Was just asking about this on the echo thread. Now to get rid of the stock toggles so I can just have my own from the notification toggle app.
Nice, glad I could pass on some info!
