[Q] Please help require registry values for Clear type and font smothing? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please help!!!
Hi i just flashed new official rom: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship
released on 11 oct 2010 by htc. There is no longer screen setting in the options menu?
I have located in the registry under GUI where to place the entries 1 folder called Font smothing and one called clear type but what entries do i need to make to enable them both?

100. Enable Align Screen Calibration in Settings
Certain US roms or custom roms do not have the screen calibration option showing in All Settings, System, Screen. This allows you to tap on crosshairs to calibrate the screen. To enable it just use the registry tweak below:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen and change from 1 to 0.

Yes But even then font smothing is not visible, that was only availiable through the quick preferences-screen not in all settings screen in previous roms
just dont want to have flash back to an old rom then back just for these settings after spending most of a day re-installing programs back on and changing settings to find these two missing.

where exactly was the font smoothing setting? i don't think i've ever seen anything labeled like that. just cleartype which says "smoothes the edges of screen fonts"

reg for cleartype is....
create the registry branch
hklm/system/GDI/CLEARTYPE
it doesn't need any keys or values, the branch existing is enough to turn on cleartype

hklm/system/GDI/CLEARTYPE already exists yet is not activated so how do you enable it? what entries need to be made in this folder?
font smoothing setting is also under hklm/system/GDI/ the same again this entry exists what entries need to be made in this folder?

in cleartype settings is only offonrotation
some apps require cleartype turning on within them. resco explorer for instance. scan your registry for "cleartype" there are a few hits.

Update half way there
Managed to get cleartype working in all progs and enabled thanks to another forum,
Just now need help to get font smothing working

how you did it?
How you managed to enable clear type in new rom. Pls help i cannot.

nothing else goes in that folder, the folder itself is all that is required to tell winmo to use cleartype. (At least thats how its supposed to work, thats how it works on non 3.14 roms)

special tweak: lock buttons

hello all,
im a frequent to this site, although i dont own a xda.. but i like what you guys accomplished till now ...
now.. my question is: in jeff's kitchen, there is an option "Lock all keys except power button while off " which works for pp2k2 devices.
anyone can tell me how this tweak works? is it a special programm or what?
thanks in advance, banshee
No, it is not a special programm, but you can also set it manualy in your settings of the xda. I think it will only set a Option in the registry...

It's a registry setting. "Funny" thing is that WM2003 stores the setting in the same place in the registry, but somehow resets this registry value to its default when it cold-boots, which is why I made the setting "PPC2002 only".
hmm thats a pitty... i would have liked to enable the same setting on my ipaq...
could you show me where this is located?
im not in the position to create my own roms at the moment - but id still like to try it
As the "Lock Buttons" facility is under MORE on PHONE>OPTIONS in PPC2002 (along with auto-answer) and MORE does not exist under WM2003 (at least not with a 4.00.11/4.21 combination) is it possible to manually add a setting in the registry to activate auto-answer? If so, what? What is the entry for PPC2002? Could we try that?

Landscape text is messed up? (Sprint TP)

Ok, i tried searching, but too many variables in my query.
Ok, im not sure what program did it, but when slide the keyboard out, all of the text (menus, input windows etc) all bunch up on top of each other. So i may have an entire sentence in the space of two letters.
I cant seem to find any options to fix this, or undo it. I really do NOT want to do (another) hard reset.
I am running completely stock ROM, just proggies added on.
Go to diamond tweak:
Cleartype in landscape mode: disable.
cleartype in landscape messes text in some programs/ applications. and in some cases it takes out the highlighted text completely.
that should solve your problem.

I had to uninstall DT due to my toolbar getting messed up.
Where in the reg would i look? Im no novice to that sort of stuff, and would rather do that anyways.
Put it back on, and there is no option for Cleartype...

Thats wrong, its Settings > System Tab > Screen > Cleartype Tab, uncheck box.

thats not it because that only solves cleartype in regular (portrait) mode... cleartype in landscape is a hidden registry.
i'd say just google cleartype in landscape registy... im sure u'll find the registry edit
I Realised this problem with my sprint TP. i remembered changing clear type in landscape on advanced config. i just turned that option off and no more cluttered letters.
Any fixes for cleartype?
Does anyone know if there is a fix so i can use cleartype in landscape mode? The letters are so much easier to read!

No Animation on Startup HD2 Leo

I've been trying to get a custom startup working on my HD2 but it only goes through 2 stages, not 3.
I originally had my carrier screen (o2) and then an Orange Windows screen, then Manilla would load.
I have looked at all the settings, even installed BSB switches and Advanced config. All of these settings say the Animated startup should be active and should include the sound but I still only get the same 2 .Png files show. The .gif listed in the config never shows up.
Just wondering if this is deactivated by default on o2 phones?
even so I would have thought a registry edit would fix it.. yes I've checked the reg too and the Value is set to 1
I'm confused as there is nothing else I can think of or find by scouring the web to get this working.
?
Where is the animation? If it is on the SD card, try moving it to the phone memory and do a soft-reset.
I hope it helps.
you need to put the animation file into a cab. It wont instal itself just by putting in the windows folder.
Also, do you have bsbtweaks installeD? maybe the 'animation off' tweak has been activated.

[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

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.

A fix for wrong Status Bar padding.

So, i recently got this device and i found it pretty annoying how the clock and battery icons were too close to the rounded corner of the screen, and since my device is still in warranty i can't use advanced root tools to fix this, but fortunately i found a solution that works in unrooted stock rom and i wanted to share in case anyone wants to fix their device too.
All you need is to have access to Developer Settings and enable Device Debugging, and ADB installed in your computer.
With your device connected, open CMD in the folder you installed ADB or just open Terminal if you're in linux, then enter this commmand:
Code:
adb shell settings put secure sysui_rounded_content_padding 8
And done! You should see the difference right away.
This setting is kept after a reboot, but i doubt you'll ever want to change it back to it's default, but if you want you can change the value to 0.
You can change the value at the end of the command to your liking, i just found 8 to be my prefered setting.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: Actually, there's a problem. The padding changes to the default everytime you change the screen orientation which is very annoying. I couldn't find a fix for this but if you know of any please let me know!
Hey, do You know how to make a similar adjuctment but with padding-top (i dunno, that's how it is in html )

I'm not sure if you can change the vertical padding, but if you did it the notch would probably cover the apps on screen so i think it wouldn't be a good idea
Hi,
I have found a little workaround for the padding setting reset after screen orientation change. It is possible to get the padding back without using ADB again.
Set the padding using the ADB method
Now if you change screen orientation the padding will disappear
Go to Settings -> Display -> Advanced -> Device Theme
Switch to the theme that is not currently used and back (Note: If you have an automatic theme selected, try to select both light and dark theme, it should change after selecting one or another)
The desired padding should be back again.
