I am experiencing lag with the new Xperia ICS dialer! it takes around 3 to 4 seconds sometimes to launch the dialer. I've tried all ROMs and boost scripts but none was able to fix it.

x10 dialer on stock 2.1 with zkernel is by far the smoothest, not joking

First you need to see that you have enough memory. Maybe you need transfer some apps to SD.
The risk is yours, but with your root editor (for example, you can download "build.prop Editor" for free at the Play / Market) you can also see that you have this in your build.prop:
ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=100
ro.telephony.call_ring.multiple=false
video.accelerate.hw=1
ro.lge.proximity.delay=150
mot.proximity.delay=100
You need take care copying every character carefully, of course.
If you're using build.prop editor, instead of the "=" sign you'll write the result directly in the "Property key".
Hope it helps you.

if the proximity sensor is causing problems for you during the call, add the following line to buildprop
gsm.proximity.enable=false
the sensor will be disable during the call but careful not to press any key by mistake during the call.
try to enable hardware video acceleration, it made the dialer little faster but few other apps crashing..

I tried many build.prop tweaks.. none fixed the lad in the stock dialer!

Changing function of volume buttons?

I've tried with out much success to change the function of the volume controls when held down so that they scroll up and down instead of launching voice dial or recorder.
It's probably glaringly obvious but i was just wondering if there is a reg entry i can change as if you go to settings\buttons and change to scroll up and down respectively it only shifts once?
Tried smartskeys but it didn't do anything.
Cheers in advance
excellente question!!
yes please I would love to know this as well. I read about smartskey but I don't think it will work.
I've tried a few apps now, that people have used on other devices, without any luck. They either don't do anything or stop the buttons from doing the volume.
I think the reg is under HKCU somewhere but haven't had a good look yet.
I want to find the reg entries that pertain to the up down for the dpad and then find the reg entries for the volume buttons when held down and change them for the ones for the dpad.
Problem is i don't know what they are called. Yet
I've found the reg entries so now i just need to work out where to point them to:-
HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\SHELL\KEYS
40C1 = button 1 which is camera
40C2 = button 2 which is voice speed dial
40C3 = button 3 which is voice recorder
Anyone know where the reg entries for the dpad are?
Never mind.

So do i but for now i'm a bit stuck without knowing the reg entries for the dpad up down.
Strange
I thought this was as simple as changing the settings > buttons - setting from Voice Recorder to tbd and the Voice Dialer to tbd, did that but it still only changes the bloody volume.
Ideally i like an easy access, OK and Start Menu key.

[APP][Updated 27-05-2009] Simple Redial V1.1.1

I do not know why but redial applications are rare. I do not like any of them so I wrote one myself.
Requirements and compatibility.
.NET Compact Framework 2 is required. For any other requirement and compatibility you tell me. I am not a professional mobile developer and I can only test on my phone, a HTC Diamond2 (Topaz) with WM6.1
Install
Run SimpleRedial.cab. Can be installed in main memory or storage card.
Uninstall
Use Remove Programs in Settings
Usage
Simple Redial calls the most recent number in the dial history. No history, no call. Tap and hold the most recent number label at the top of the screen to select dial history filter (All,Missed,Incoming,Outgoing).
Call attempt number and time between call attempts can be selected by tapping and holding the labels.
On tapping Redial the program starts the call attempts and goes on until one of these happens.
1 - A call attempt is answered. The program produces a 'connected' notification (sound plus short vibration) and exit. Speakerphone can be optionally activated (check Keep on Speakerphone).
2 - You tap Abort. After current attempt ending the program produces a 'not connected' notification (sound plus vibration).
3 - You tap Exit. After current attempt ending the program exit (no notification).
4 - All the attempts fail. The program produces a 'not connected' notification (sound plus vibration).
5 - An inbound call arrives between call attempts. The program exit (no notification).
The 'not connected' notification is played when the phone call is not active and is so a 'normal' notification. Therefore, you can control it with volume and vibrate/silent settings.
The 'connected' notification is played when the phone call is active and this is somewhat tricky. You can not control it with volume and vibrate/silent settings but you can select whether it is played on speakerphone (check Sound on Speakerphone) or on the phone speaker (uncheck Sound on Speakerphone).
Tweaking
The sounds used by the program are Connected.wma and NotConnected.wma in the installation directory. You can change them if you like by replacing these files. If your Connected.wma is longer and gets truncated you should change the registry HKCU\Software\SimpleRedial\ConnectedSoundSecs. This is the time in seconds the program allows for Connected.wma playing before exiting.
USUAL LEGAL DISCLAIMER
Use Simple Redial at your own risk! NO WARRANTY! Although running this application does not seem to produce any damage on my phone, I take no responsibility for any kind of damage or major or minor inconvenience caused to devices or data or person or whatever else due to this application and its usage.
PROBLEM: on some phones popup menus do not popup, can't say why as it should be managed by Framework and I could not reproduce the problem. At any rate at post #9 you can download the previous version that used drop down lists.
Nice work. I'll try it. I knew only one redial app before you created this. Thanks. I'll start to annoy the ones that owe me some money with this
Idea - this kind of app should be service to save process slots (which are sow few as we know - 32)

The ideal option would be to have it inside the dialer application as a 'fire (a call) and forget (till answer)' option, otherwise compromise are in order.
For example, I would have liked to start the call attemps in a hidden way (maybe using Tapi) and then handover it to the normal phone window on call answer. Unfortunately, this is not possible (or, at least, I could not find a way) so to keep the phone window hidden I had to set my application as topmost. It works, provided you do not start switching applications with a task manager, but it is not very elegant.
Unfortunately, it seems redial is not an interesting capability (maybe it's me that know strange people with an almost alway busy phone) and MS or HTC leave the dialer as it is.
I cannot seem to figure out how I can change the number of attempts and how long in between each attempt.

Tap and hold the labels until a popup menu appears.
I do that and see that something is happening, butI get now menu. I just reboot the device and same result. I get the circle of dots when I press and hold, but no menu.
Let me try that again. I do that and see that something is happening, but I get NO menue. I rebooted the device and got the same result. Circle of dots when I press and old, but no menu.

That's strange. Tap and hold popup is a .NET Framework provided feature and it works flawlessly on my phone.
Do you have .NET Compact Framework 2 installed? Does tap and hold works in other programs on your device? Are you tapping exactly over 'xx attempts' label and 'xx secs between attempts' label?
At any rate here is old version 1.1 that used drop down lists. I moved to menus because it is supposed to be more finger friendly.
I will try the new file. I have running Compact Framework 3.5. Yes press and hold works for other programs.
Do I get this right? The app redials not if the line is busy - you have to start the app to set the redialprocess in motion?

Yes, the application does not start by itself. The usage as I thougt it is...
1 - I call let's say Jack and I find that the line is busy. Now the Jack's number is on top of call history.
2 - I run SimpleRedial, it gets the Jack's number from the call history and when I tap Redial it starts calling again and again.
3 - When Jack answer SimpleRedial notifies me and exits.

Do you plan to make it an auto redial? If so can you add the option of whether I want the number redialed, if so how many times? It would be very useful then. I have been waiting for years for such an app. Pocketmax.net has one, but the developer is not working on it. Yours could be the perfect app. All the best looking forward to further development.

Sorry, but no. I have only Compact Framework development tools (as a byproduct of my "real" .NET programming activities) and Compact Framework applications are very easy to code but real resource hogs. Therefore, making SimpleRedial resident would be quite a bad idea, it would not even be really resident because the Framework can decide to kill background applications to recover resources. Moreover, it would became not really "Simple"

There is already an option for the redial attemps number. Just tap and hold the "xx attemps" label to get the popup menu (on some phone it does not work, can't say why, but on post #9 there is the old version that uses drop down lists).
Thanks for the reply.

How can i mod my dream im new to this
very great APP thx!
idea: I've got confused with difference between "speaker phone" and "phonespeaker"
Kaiser running WM6.1 CF3.5.
I've installed to the storage card.
The selection popups work fine.
With "sound on speakerphone" enabled, but "keep on speakerphone" disabled I get this error when the call connects:
Code:
simpleredial.exe
ObjectDisposedException
at Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.get_Parent()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control.get_Enabled()
at System.Windows.Forms.Control._SyncEnabled()

at System.Windows.Forms.Control._InternalWnProc()
at Microsoft.AGL.Forms.EVL.EnterMainLoop()
at System.Windows.Forms.Application.Run()
at Redial.Program.Main()
The call stays connected, but simple redial crashes. Also, the writeup indicates that the notification should be via sound (works sorta) and vibrate (does not work). The notification sound does not come over the speakerphone.
When I enable "sounds over speakerphone" and enable "keep on speakerphone", the sound does not come over the speakerphone, but once the call connects the speakerphone comes on (after a brief delay)
When a busy signal is encountered it seems like the app waits for the line to be disconnected by the service provided (busy signal runs for over 1 minute) is there a ways to decrease this or to disconnect when a busy signal is detected by tone? This would increase the effectiveness of the redialer as well as decrease the burden on the device (wasted resources waiting for the telcom to disconnect the call)
The app has great potential, it would be nice to see the last couple of bugs ironed out.
It would be highly appreciated if it can be set to 1 sec between atempt!! Thank you!

[Q] How to change the vibration pattern for sms?

im not too happy with the phones stadart vibration pattern for incoming calls and sms - its way too long and too 'loud'; is there a way to somehow chage it permanently? that would make my life a whole lot easier.anyone a idea? thanks
yup...I totally agree with you!I also need to know how to edit the vibration.
maybe by changing something in the registry would help..
there MUST be a way. ever noticed the short vibration when switching the phone on.
somehow it should be possible to edit it
yup and I'm pretty sure that it can be done by editing the registry..
hey there, after a bit of searching on the net i found something that might help us out.
i found the registry scripts for incoming calls and sms.
if you go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\
youll find a entry called script
this entry describes the phone's action on an incoming call. if your phone is in "Normal" profile mode the script should be "av0pw3r"
the letters stand for the following commands:
a - start loop
v - vibration in seconds (0=infinite)
p - play ringtone
w - wait "x" seconds
r - repeat loop​
now the problem in this whole thing is, that this script always changes automatically to another variaton depending on your active profile.
e.g. if you switch your phone to "vibrate" profile the original code would be
"av3w3r" lets assume youd like the vibration to be active only for one second instead of three. the code would then logically be "av1w3r".
switching back to "normal" profile would set the script back to "av0pw3r" and switching once more back to "Vibrate" would still change the script into the old one "av3w3r" even if you changed it before to "v1".
i have no clue how to teach the phone to keep the changed settings but maybe someone out there would pick my idea up and try to create a tiny app for these registry keys to PERMANENTLY be edited and changed.
with sms it is pretty much the same deal.
since there is no Script entry in HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS\ i simply created one in vibrate mode. its av1 for me.
the bad news with this entry is that the phone wont change it at all when switching profiles so youd have to change it manually every time youd like a different style for your incoming sms pattern (av1pr for a short vibration, then playing the sms sound, then a repeat).
this is how far ive come with my resarch about this. it would be really nice to catch some motivated programmer's attention on this topic to make the scripts change with different profiles.
greetings
Source: http://www.handy-faq.de
A)see if you can find the registry that changes the profiles and see if u can edit vibration there.
B)If you can't change the vibration from there then :
1.find and extract the registry that switches profile to normal.
2.edit the vibration script from "av3w3r" to "av1w3r"
3.Extract the registry HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\
4.edit the sms script
5.extract the registry HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\SMS\
6.Now you have 3 registry files,merge them to 1 file using nothepad(1st the file from step 1,then from step 3,then from 5).
Do the same for each profile.
That way you will have a reg file for each profile.Now every time you want to switch between profiles just run the corresponding
reg file.
I didn't manage to find a way to edit the registry permanently...
All I've done is that I have created a ".reg" file that edits the vibration script to av1w3r...So every time after I switch a profile I run this file and vibration becomes edited...
I have added this "reg" file at the start menu and I have set a hot key for it.So I just press "button 2" and the vibrations becomes 1 second.
i couldnt find any profile settings for the scripts neither, but im glad you could at least create a alternative way, thanks a lot on this. is there a way i can add a reg entry for the sms script too?it should be something like 'v1' in meeting profile and 'v1p' in normal mode. but since originally there isnt any script for the sms the phone wouldnt change it automatically back when in normal mode so it must be edited each time switching modes thats the problem. i dont really know how to manage this without creating a second cab, but that would make the whole thig even more difficult

The best think I can think of..is making some kind of little program based on reg files..that will switch between profiles...but unfortunately I don't know how to make one...
At the moment I have just made separated reg files to edit vibration for sms and ringtone.
------------------------------
Vibration.reg:sets ringtone to av1pw1r and sms to av1
sms to av1.reg:sets sms to av1
sms to av1p.reg:sets sms to av1p
ringtone av1pw1r:sets ringtone to av1pw1r
------------------------------------------
using these you can select the vibration you like each time.

[Q] SMS Notification issue

Hello
I have upgrade my HD2 from 1.66 to 3.14 - stock european rom (danish). No extra's except Cookies hometab.
I have searched, and searched and found answers, but sadly they do not work here.
Issue: SMS Notification: SMS Sent successfully (translated)
I do not want it. And i cannot seem to turn it off.
I have looked into SMS -> Settings .... and there is no mark in the SMS Delivery Report (again my translation). Tried some registry changes found using google, and still the I get the notification.
So the question is: how to turn it off ? Is it possible ?
tia
mvh / best regards
I had the same issue, and I could disable it.
When you're in the settings tab, use the Menu soft key and click the Plus menu item (it should be the only one), to access the Windows Mobile (i.e. not Sense's) control panel.
From there, you should be able to navigate to (roughly translated, I use the French ROM) sounds and notifications(sounds and alerts ?), then navigate to the second tab. There is a drop down list where you can select the "SMS sent" notification, and then, uncheck all the boxes to stop notifications.
When this is done, just press OK at the top left corner of the screen to save the changes, and return to the manila (sense) UI.
I hope this solves your problem.

Guys from HTC will probably never make SMS working perfectly on HD2. Fixing one thing, break another. These annoying notifications happen because of a missing registry entry. Just add it manually:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Jataayu\Messaging]
"DisableSMSSuccess"=dword:00000001
Worked for me.

Perhaps something for Tips & Tricks ?
If you don´t want to mess with the registry there is a cab file that does it for you.
http://www.4shared.com/file/9eCnZJR4/SMS_zend_popup_uitschakelen.html
It´s in dutch but it works with any language.
I installed the cab to disable the "message sent" notification, but since then the sms conversation mode has stopped working. When I receive a message I can see it on the messages screen but when I tap it the screen opens with the top half of the screen blank, where the sender's message should be displayed. The bottom half of the screen shows the reply section with "Tap to add text".
Uninstalled the cab and soft reset but cannot get back the conversation mode. I seem to remember someone posting about a similiar issue with an earlier rom, but despite searching I can't find it.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help.
Edit: deleted all my messages and now conversation mode seems to be working again
Fix worked
This has really been bugging me since upgrading too..reg fix suggested works a treat with no ill side effects, thanks!
i created the registry key and it worked.
Thanks a lot!

i added the string manually and all ok
In some cases you need to set following value, too:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSNoSentMSG"=dword:00000001
Hi. Its a common problem. I called HTC Support and they said that is an error in this ROM upgrade. They still dont know if an upgrade will come to fix the proglem. It probably will. I had the same problem so I "Downgraded" the ROM to 1.66

BT keyboard, disabling annoying shift + space shortcut?

I've been googling and cruising a number of forums, surely there must be a logical way to get rid of this annoying thing. I am unrooted, locked BL. I have a BT keyboard. Swiftkey installed as system app by default, and I have gboard installed, too. I have an annoying keyboard shortcut of space + shift that brings up the Select input method screen. Seems it's an annoying problem, but without root no easy way to fix?
I disabled swiftkey, and I see the keyboard shortcut helper lists the shift + space shortcut, but there's no way to disable or change it to something else.
Has anyone else with a BT keyboard encountered and solved this? Maybe it's my ebay keyboard and some brief lag that interprets capital letters as my sending the space + shift shortcut. It's nearly impossible to take notes with this thing because the input menu pops up every 10 seconds or so. I'll be travelling to the mainland later this week and would love to find a way to fix this because I want to use the tablet and keyboard to take notes at a conference.
Thank you very much for any help you may have. I thought every answer was on google, but this one is not popping up....
