vibrating keypad wm6?

I saw this registry tweak:
http://www.mdatweak.com/tweak_detail.php?tweak=14
that adds vibration to buttons of the dial pad
However I tried it in WM6 and it doesn;t work anymore. Does anybody know how to get it working in WM6?

I used the attached cab and got it working in WM6.
It looks like it makes the same changes as on that website, only automatically.
One thing I noticed, which might help or might not, was that it didn't seem to vibrate when I had "Keypad" under Phone Settings set to "Off".
Try setting it to "Short tones" and see if it works.
Oh, and you've reset your phone after making the registry tweaks, right?

yep, that was it. my device (htc herald wm6) was set to no sounds.
I found that it does not always vibrate. Sort of as if the vibrate motor has to start up. It worked best if the settings were set to long tones.
But I'm not using it anymore. in practice it is not as handy as I though it would be

vibrating keypad
hi guys. i downloaded the above attached file to my tytn 11 (orange). i find it does not work well (due to the time lag in the vibrating winding-up process) - and wish to delete it (it is actually quite annoying) and regain the normal keypad tone. i have gone into 'settings' 'remove programmes' and see no item listed. I have gone into 'file explorer' and delete the file name - to no effect. have i done the wrong thing? can anyone help me, please?

First of all...
This is wizard forum not herald....
Then use this...
attached let me know if this works...

+ Que PPC. thanks. have tried your solution (and then done a soft reset). unfortunately it has not worked! could you please consider another solution...?

noup really no...
I dont have other this works forme on Hermes and in wizard the truckQteka makes the dids! but i dont find it anymore. sorry men ask on Kaiser forum

Problem with Large Start menu on non HTC devices

hi there!
I downloaded JUVS HTC Large Titlebar and HTC Enlarge Start menu CABs and installed both on my E-TEN M800 (VGA).
They installed fine and I now have the "large start menu" item in my system settings.
But when I check the checkbox to turn it on, it still doesnt enlarge.
I rebooted the device and still nothing. I basically only need the zooming of the notification icons in the start-bar.
have I missed something? do i need additional files?
thanks
Bernhard

the old one just for QVGA, try this one, but dun know can it work on ETEN

thanks, but it doesn't work.
maybe it needs touchFLO so its only activated when you use the finger? or something like that?

No touchflow wouldnt make a difference on this. Unfortunatly some of the items on here will only work with HTC devices and i think this may well be one of them im afraid. Unless anyone else can shed any light

Tried the Large Start Menu once on my iPAQ, and what I found was that the service (htcStartMenuService.dll) doesn't automatically start. Using DotFred's Taskmanager to manually start the service made the large start menu appear... until the next soft reset.
The same thing probably happens with the large titlebar thing.

thanks ridolfo, this works!
now i have to find a way to start it automatically on reboot
makes my e-ten even more userfriendly!
edit: i just added this nice and useful taskmanager to my StartMenu and on reboot, i open it, go to the services tab and click the little start icon for the LargeTitleBar service. thats it.
works like a charm.

IIRC, you can even open it on the services tab, using a command-line switch. Have a look in the "About" screen for possible command-line switches (I think it's in the "About" screen, but I'm not sure).
I'm still hoping that someone can explain why some of the HTC services do auto-start, but others don't.

yes, because when you install the LargeTitleBar it correctly creates its entry in the Registry and is bound to be started, but somehow it doesnt.

In my brand new HTC Touch Cruise, large menu option is ticked, but after playing around with apps or settings it becomes small, allthough it's still ticked. I have to disable and reenable it to make it big again. It's a bit of a problem, as it happens often. Advice would be appreciated.

same problem
couldn't this problem be fixed by some registry entires ?
I mean to put an application into autostart shouldn't be a problem, well for me, as a hardcore newp it is acutally, but maybe not fo you guys
on my xperia x1 i've got the same problem .

Hi! at all!
Have you found a solution?

GSen doesnt work

I tried to use very intereresting soft GSen but without success...After instalation and manually activation (by GSen.exe) it turns only File Explorer window or in case of activation from Programs it turns only Programs window. If I close File Explorer or Programs window it dosnt works...I tried many combination and settings - but without success. Do you have the same experience? Or any advice?

There are 3 files titled Gsen.exe I think... Make sure that if you open the shortcut twice, the second time it pops up a window saying "unload program?"... That's the right one. Also, when you open it, to confirm it's running there will be 1 white pixel at the very top center of the screen. I know for a fact it works on the Touch Pro, as I use it on mine. When it says "unload program" it's asking if you want to disable it, click yes if you don't want to use it anymore... Good luck.

Unfortunatelly a pixel signals that GSen is working...and sreens dont turn :-(

Hmmm... I know there was a config setting where you could choose what programs it does and doesn't work for, use the readme and just browse through the files to see what you can do. I can't say I tested it with a ton of applications, but I got like 3 or 4 to turn (and haven't used it since)... I'm a bigger fan of profile anyhow, I may as well have a Diamond with a memory card slot (excepting emails).

I have the same problem. I use the default configuration. So it should work, but it doesn't work. It just works with the program/window from which it was started.
I've already posted this problem in a German forum where the developer has a sub-forum, but I still didn't get an answer.

Sorry guys, we had an Raphael prototype device with AKU 1.3.1. and pre-alpha ROM for short time (testing time) in the past and it was working.
This is the reason why we wrote: Tested on HTC Raphael (Prototype)
On the basis of the missing new device and ROM, we are not able to check your problems.
Sorry again.

What a bummer! I hope you'll get a new device/ROM to test this soon ;-)

You are not alone with this kind of wishes.

Actually, there is just one VERY annoying problem with GSen 1.7 - it works for me (Touch Diamond, Dutty's 1.9) except onlyfor(1) - if this option is defined, windows are not recognized neither by class no by name or exe name... I believe this is not a matter of ROM, because I had this very problem on default ROM which I flashed to test if GSen will work... I also believe it could be not Diamond-specific...
CharlyV, could you please spend some time to find out if it's possible to resolve this?
Thanks in advance - I'm a loyal and official user of SKTools...

It doesn't work here either...

guys it even says so on gsen home page

This hack does NOT work with the Touch Pro as the Touch Pro will base most of its screen rotation on the sliding keyboard instead.

Gsen automatical loading??
Hey guys.
I've got some beginner's questions.
My gsen doesn't start automatically when I start my Diamond.
Is it normal?
Is it possible to do anything?
Thanks.

place shortcut into Windows\Startup directory

hi have loaded GSEN onto HTC touch HD and program worked well, i since put SPB plus and shell on and now GSEN wont work and also in the album section it wont allow finger scrolling. any ideas???

Black screen where TF3D should be at startup..

I'm not sure what happened, but I've been noticing that now when I boot up my VZW TP2, the launching touchflo 3d screen pops up, then goes away and there is nothing but a black background and the windows taskbar.
The black screen looks like a program with an all black background and no text/content, it has an X in the upper right hand corner and I can click that X to reveal TF3D.. I can also click anywhere on the screen and/or END key and reveal TF3D.
This happens at startup every time now.
Things I've done since I noticed the problem;
Installed HDBoobs
Installed Diamond Halogram w/ ATi Graphics Driver
Put HTCAPI.dll in the \windows\ directory
Installed .NET CF 3.5
Installed Schap's Registry Editor
Installed J.S. Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3
Installed Ilium Software Screen Capture
Installed Windows Live (newest version)
Installed Microsoft Facebook Application
Did '7MP Panorama' Tweak
Did 'Reveal 5 Hidden Camera Settings' Tweak
Things I've done after noticing the problem;
Installed Microsoft ICS
Installed Garmin MobileXT
Did 'Close Opera with X instead of minimize' registry mod
Did 'ResProxy ShareMemSize=0' registry mod
Installed NoPushInternet
EDIT 1:
I've now removed;
'ResProxy ShareMemSize=0' registry mod (slowed me down too much)
HDBoobs
Diamond Halogram w/ ATi Graphics Driver
Nothing has changed.
EDIT 2:
I had it setup to be password protected. After removing the password option and soft-resetting, the problem is gone. Is this a bug? Is there a fix for this? I know it seems minuscule, but this isn't how it should work and I want to fix it
I'd like to avoid doing a hard reset if possible.. so any advice, other than 'ignore it' would be appreciated.

I think that I have the same thing happening. I don't think that it was like this out of the box, but I'm not sure when it started. Basically, my phone loads showing the taskbar at the top and the two soft keys at the bottom. Everything in between is black. If I touch the screen, then the TouchFlo stuff shows up. After that, it's fine.
I do have a lock code enabled. It was forced by an Exchange Server policy. Not sure if this "issue" arose at that point or not.

I asked the same question here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=560636
Seems to be related to having the PIN lock enabled. I too am required to use this for work reasons, and have not found a way to get TF3D to display on boot up without having to touch the screen.

At least we're not alone.. now it's a known issue, hopefully someone will look further into it (since I don't know how to fix it)

Here too
First I installed XDA shutdown to perform soft resets. Then the memmaid demo to further my efforts to be clean & mean. Just installed s-k-tools to my HTC Sprint Touch Pro 2 (because memmaid demo misreported my memory!)and after running clean I'm getting cprog.exe & sktools.exe errors and now "bluetooth stack failed to load" -my friggin bluetooth wont load. Only other non stock thing is Duttys disable push internet. Did I make a mistake in purchasing this tweakware? Can I rectify these situations without a hard reset? Somewhere along the way the black screen thing occurred too.

Do you have a password-required device lock setup? If so, and you're getting the black-screen issue just after you unlock your phone when you first boot it up (from an off state), then you're probably in the same boat as us..

Same issue here.... yes I have a PIN lock code.

interesting. I don't have the code, and I've never seen this. Then again other software installed might make a difference.
WTF is HDBoobs?

LOL... I had the same question.

Any Way to stay in keypad mode during call?

My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.

I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.

yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.

Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!

I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.

If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!

I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!

I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
