So this thread in the general section got me interested in seeing what hacks were possible for rotation. Editing the SecPhone.apk enabled rotation for the in-call screen. A simple addition to build.prop permanently enables rotation in the lock screen.
Enabling the launcher to rotate is not too hard to enable but after enabling launcher rotation, the app drawer gets goofed up in a couple ways:
1) If the landscape integers/dimens files aren't adjusted, the default fifth row is cut off, showing only the top few pixels of each icon
2) If the landscape integers/dimens files are adjusted (in my case, to simply have 4 rows and the default 5 columns in landscape mode - the default 5x5 is still in portrait), except that when you rotate the device while in the app drawer, the settings of the first orientation are applied to the new orientation. (When the app draw is entered from either rotation, the proper grid settings are applied.
This is potentially problematic when switching from portrait to landscape. The question is how to have the launcher properly switch to the proper grid settings. I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing, but I don't know what it is.
Anyone have any idea on what I might be doing wrong?

Thx for your help

I have WM6.5.5 NRG & works for me, have repeat option if do alarm via clack & alarm from settings CPL
Have a look at registry below:
Below is an example to enable the Alarm Reminder + Vibrate:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F1 1F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}
Delete or set the DWORD: AvailableOptions = 0
Create the DWORD: Options
Set the DWORD: Options = 1073741843
Reboot
Below are various Options values:
All Unchecked = 1073741824
Play Sound = 1073741825
Play Sound + Repeat = 1073741841
Play Sound + Repeat + Display Message = 1073741849
Play Sound + Repeat + Display Message + Flash Light = 1073741853
Play Sound + Repeat + Display Message + Flash Light + Vibrate = 1073741855
Play Sound + Repeat + Display Message + Vibrate = 1073741851
Play Sound + Repeat + Flash Light = 1073741845
Play Sound + Repeat + Flash Light + Vibrate = 1073741847
Play Sound + Repeat + Vibrate = 1073741843
Play Sound + Display Message = 1073741833
Play Sound + Display Message + Flash Light = 1073741837
Play Sound + Display Message + Flash Light + Vibrate = 1073741839
Play Sound + Display Message + Vibrate = 1073741835
Play Sound + Flash Light = 1073741829
Play Sound + Flash Light + Vibrate = 1073741831
Play Sound + Vibrate = 1073741827
Display Message = 1073741832
Display Message + Flash Light = 1073741836
Display Message + Vibrate = 1073741834
Display Message + Flash Light + Vibrate = 1073741838
Flash Light = 1073741828
Flash Light + Vibrate = 1073741830
Vibrate = 1073741826
Alarm bugfix
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications]
"MuteSoundOnClose"=dword:0
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications]
"AlertInterrupt"=dword:0
Another option is a customised tone made from original but looped for say 4 minutes & save in WAV format, not as elegant as registry fix !
I mainly use an old version of G-alarm as like its settings & faultless performance & integration into Windows standard alarms.

Thx for your help Mister B
But I d'nt understand what is " clack & alarm " (software ?) and " CPL " (courant porteur ligne in French : connect 2 box via 110/220V).
To make it simple : I must just modify registry
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F1 1F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}
Delete or set the DWORD: AvailableOptions = 0
Create the DWORD: Options
Set the DWORD: Options = 1073741841
Reboot
to have Play Sound + Repeat endless (1073741841) ringing alarm ?
Only do this ? , not install any other software ( clack & alarm ) ?
Tell me and after I do this
Thx , Sko

Clock & Alarm is the default Windows alarm found in Settings Control Panel (CPL)
When you go to alarm via this route you should see an option for repeat that may or may not resolve your problem.
If it does not resolve problem try adding registry as in your reply & see if you get result you are after. the new settings for alarm notifications will be found in Sounds & notifications Control Panel .
I do it and NOT WORK .....
By defaut , at this location I have :
Default = Rappels
AvailableOptions = 15
Options = 5
Duration = 5
Wave = \Windows\Alert-Solft.wma
I delete AvailableOptions= 15, put Options= 1073741841 , Reboot HTC HD2 , not work : play only 3 time sound
I try Duration= 0 , same , I delete Duration , same ..... play only 3 time sound
I THINK YOUR LOCATION IS BAD :
Defaut= Rappel (Reminber) and Wave = Alert-Solft.wma NOT SNOOZE like clock alarm : SO, THIS LOCATION IS BAD,
this location is for Reminber , NOT CLOCK ALARM !!!!!!!!!!
Only other registry I see linked to alarm is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Sounds>Clock
On WM6 we could add an extra String Value here to create looping alarm clock.
go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Sounds>Clock
Right click: New>String Value
Enter Value Name: Script
Enter Value Data (for no vibrate): apr
or
Value Data (with vibrate): av0pr
If you want to add a delay between each ring add 'w(delay)' before the r(repeat), for example: av0pw3r would have a vibrating alarm with a 3 second wait before looping the ringtone
Delete the 'Script' value to revert back to the normal alarm ring.
You can look into this but I don't think it works on later WM6.1 onward builds.
If no good only option is custom longer alarm sound files unless can find some way of customising the repeat count beyond current 3x repeat :-/ I will update post if find anything that seems relevant ...
do this, D'NT WORK ...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Sounds>Clock
String Value
Enter Value Name: Script
Enter Value Data : apr
Always play sound Alarm-Snooze.wma 3 time and stop after ......
The guy at Microsoft that do this Alarm is really an idiot : just ring 3 time !!!!!!!!
Yes not a smart setup & not easy work around on some later wm6.x builds.
making the ring tone custom with extended length could for example make it ring for 15 minutes if ring file has a run time of 5 minutes.
Would be ideal to find a hack for the amount of repeats but I not see one & most people went to other alarm options so work on WM alarm got a bit thin ...
I search Alarm-Snooze.wma in registry (I use it for sound alarm) and find it at this location :
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\0 and 1 and 2
3 directory for 3 alarm in HD2. But I d'nt find a key for longer.
There is Len_AlarmSnd = 12. Perhaps is Lenght_AlarmSound ?.I try to put 0 but after each power Off,
I have always 12 for this key .... So .....
I think the Len_AlarmSnd & Len_AlarmText relate to character count of displayed name of alarm & sound.
AlarmOneTime key looks more interesting !!!

Mister B " I have WM6.5.5 NRG & works for me, have repeat option if do alarm via clack & alarm from settings CPL ",
u have really repeat option, never never repeat me and I do all yours tips ..... ???
If anyone still searching for an answer (i sure was) and you have wm65, you can check AutoSnoozeMins at
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Reminders\AutoSnooze\AutoSnoozeMins
it's default value is 2
which means that reminder will be snoozed after 2 minutes.
And
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\Sounds\Repeat
it's default value is 0
And it means that sound will be repeated.
Hey,
I've got a Huawei Mediapad M5 10.8 Inch. The standard scale settings are to big for me. It looks like it was made for People with low eyesight. Luckily you can set the size in the settings menu.
But in Desktop Mode the size is still to big. And when in Desktop Mode, the Settings for the scale are deactivated. You can also check the scale in the developers options by setting the smallest width. By default it is set 606, but I would like to set it to 800 or something like that. But when I change the settings from 606 to 800, the settings won't apply and change back to 606.
Is there any possibility to change the scale in Desktop Mode? Because with this big scale, for example Chrome doesn't show any tabs.
Thanks a lot and greetings,
Jannik
Same here, im trying to do the same, Huawei should put more settings for desktop mode
Nobody able to help? Or is there no possibility to solve this Problem?
I want to change the DPI on the screen.
would the Developer Options -> Minimum Width do it?
seems to work...I have mine set to 1000...
I changed the DPI trying to see if it'll make a few things look better and didn't write down the original settings. Can someone let me know what's the stock DPI in the developer options. I have it set to 700 right now but some menus don't look sharp including the fingerprint icon on the lock screen. Thanks in advance.
800 dp is the default value, if your Screen zoom (in the display settings) is set to minimum. And by the way if you turn off the developer options, all changed settings will be reset to its default options.
