I'd like to be able to get the End Key application "Lock" button to use S2U2.exe instead of the native lock application, is this possible?
I know you can edit reg settings for the ActionScreen, but I don't know how similar these two apps are and if you can do the same to the EndKey app, any ideas?
I guess it's not possible then :\
I tried looking through the reg but edidnt see anything obvious i could change.
There is HTC End Key. Learn how that works and then you'll see how you can use S2U2 as the long end key press.

I am using the HTC "Quick List" end key, not sure how to "learn" how that works though. I don't see settings for it anywhere, unless I am missing something. Also, i wanted to use the actual "lock device" option in the end key quick list, not the end key it self, to lock it. Just don't know if i can change that via the reg ors omething, to point it at s2u2 instead of the htc locking app.
I too would like to do what Briggs wants. I have looked around the registry for something similar to HTCactionkey but to no avail
Use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356322.
Simply assign a shortcut for s2u2.exe (copy the one from /Windows/Start Menu/Progrmas/S2U2), name it Long_End.lnk and save it in the /Windows directory. Works for me.

That is not the point. They want endkey, but they want endkey list to use the S2U2 instead of MS Lock.
It's possible I believe. Start with an endkey cab & take a look at the files extracted with MSCEINF. The you can figure out the path & edit the dll w/ a resource editor or it may be an inf or xml.
Otherwise, maybe I can take a look, but it won't be any time soon unless the noobies stop doing idiotic things.

Sorry, so they don't want to press and hold the end key to activate S2U2, and not the native MS Device Lock? Because that's exactly what my post does, I'm doing so on my phone right now. If not then I am missing the point.

Yes, you are missing the point. They want to be able to use the HTC EndKey application that gives you numerous options when the end key is held, not just launch a single application.
Within HTC E.K. you can turn off data, select device sound as vibrate, lock the device, etc...
The OP would like to have all of this functionality, but would like to only change the device lock interaction to use S2U2 instead of MS Lock Device.
Much how you can use AdvancedConfig to change the CommManager, he'd like to change a single part of the existing HTC EndKey app.
I had read the post before and knew it could be done, but I didn't understand it.
It's really simple...
You copy a .lnk from your start menu (or wherever) to your windows directory and rename it one of these buttons:
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnl (Power button)
Long send works great for my sms program.

I was merely providing a solution to replace the Device Lock's End Key shortcut with S2U2. I see your point: the End Key application allows a lot more functionality. I'd be interested in seeing such a development.

LOL, man I give up on the ESL answers.
Instead of trying to hack the HTC End key application or re-write it like Schaps did for Long_Press_Power_Key, just take the HTC Action screen and make your modifications.
Plenty of people have done it already. Search for the HTC Action screen thread and you'll see what I mean.
*edit* Heh, I noticed you were already in that thread Anywhoo, HTC Action screen is much easier to modify.
this tweak will reduce the amount of pressure it takes to use the cube gestures
1 open reg editing software
2 navigate to HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\software\OEM\TFLOSettings
3. in HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\software\OEM\TFLOSettings find DWORD fingerpressure...
4. enter in to edit mode then either double or quadruple your oem setting which is 3760
5. !!!!!!!!!*******DO NOT decrease the OEM value only increase IT WILL ACTUALLY TAKE MORE PRESSURE********!!!!!!!!
6. soft reset then enjoy reduced pressure gestures!!
...............................................................................................................
also figure out this could lessen normal wear and tear(scratching of protectors/PDA screens) since lesser pressure is applied to Tap the screen
here's what i did..
thru the PHM registry editor(or any PPC registry editor)
go to..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\TouchPanel
then find DWORD PressureThreshold'
Change the value of PressureThreshold.(INCREASE value ONLY!!!)
i tried doubling the default value. until i have reached my desired setting.
now,its like tapping soflty without having a feeling that i have screen protector. Also less stress on the stylus and screen and faster tapping.
WARNING: Only INCREASE THE VALUE BUT NEVER THE DECREASE THE DEFAULT VALUE.
Lowering the value of Pressure Threshold means you need to apply more pressure in tapping than you normally do.
wow!! tks for the info. i've change the settings by jz double up frm OEM setting. It works & i'm so enjoying wif very soft tapping on the screen now
there are more reg hacks im working on like im speeding up the movement of the cube and other things like speaker phone volume ill be posting all of them here i try them first and make sure they work before telling them to everyone
Hmm there was no folder called TouchPanel in my drivers folder

Very nice tweak! I always thought I had to apply to much pressure to the screen even before I was using the screenprotector.
Thanks for this!
Edit: it is also much nicer to work with the PCM keyboard now! Typing goes smoother.
Holy ****, this is great! It's much easier now to write on the screen with a touchpad.
Thanxxxx main!!
So what you people use for the value under PressureTreshold for TouchPanel?
I doubled them both
Great Tweaks!!!!!
hey man these are great tweaks. I jus added these tweaks to the Touch Wiki, keep em' coming man
and yeah as some members suggested it is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
can u verify this bereda, so as to reduce the posts which doubts the location of the registry key
I just will add this tweak also on my elf with Blue Touch 4.0 ROM and my value is already 9518. So Swiftblade ROM users dont have to add this tweak i guess

Are you talking about HKEY_LOCAL MACHINE\software\OEM\TFLOSettings\fingerpressure or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\TouchPanel\pressurethreshold. My first value was 3681 instead of 3761 and my second one was 9350. I just doubled them both.

Like I said, I doubled that one anyway. There is nothing being said about a default value for that one in the first post. I think doubling that variable is why pressing keys on my PCM keyboard and the overall "touchscreen experience" is going better.
Its wierd.. I change the first one but the second tells me access denied.. even restarted the phone and tried connecting again.. I can change the first one.. but I can't change the one inside the TouchPanel directory..
Im using Mobile Registry Editor.. its pretty simple.. can't even search in it so I want to try something else.. Im going to search around for one but if someone wants to let me know what they prefer that would be awesome..
nevermind.. this article from the developer here helped me..

hey guys sorry for the delay the you are correct this is where the registery is located as listed above!!!!
my settings are actually quadrupled but its amazing im actually working on speeding up the cubes spins andhow fast it reacts!!!
my touchpanel threshold is at 38372
and my touchflo is at 15040
its great for me
For the TouchFlo, I found that it did have an effect.. however, I tried adjusting the PressureThreshold and didn't notice much difference...
Thanks for the tweak!

Same here. "access denied".
Any way to go around this, to change the pressurethreshold value?
When in a music/video application and you press the volume button, you are greeted with a smaller much prettier version of a volume control, that also increases/decreases less per volume button press.
Is it possible to make this control work all the time?
i like that pop-up!
Related to the above; has any1 found out wtf happens between it beeing volume control and it beeing prev/next song? it seems to randomly happen, and i keep having to 'reboot' my hd2 to get normal volume in the music tab again, way annoying.
Before some1 asks me what cabs i installed (since the above happens after some installs, at least thats what i read on these forums) i experienced it maybe 5 minutes after unboxing my new phone, so before i modified anything.
Any help/idea/pointing-to-topic appreciated
I used to have that problem, not had it in 1.61 though
I have 1.43, dunno how to change roms, and kinda 'playing on safe' since i had to pay 'way to much' (€250+) for this phone to break it already
Do feel free to point me to rom topics though cant hurt to look, but id most like to just have some installer exe from htc, so i can blame them if it breaks hehe

Sounds like they fixed it! Let's hope that is the case!
lol, I was playing it safe as well. Then just though ah feck it.
Iv just had a look in the registry, I can see which bit makes it pop up in certain applications. So I think i know how I could make it work in other applications of your choice, but I dont know about everwhere.
I search for that too and found a registry entry too that seems to activate that in other application but it doesnt work.
Its possible to add them manually.
HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseAPClass there add a key with any name and in this key u create a string value "ClassName" with the correct class name as value (I find them with BsB Tweaks).
HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI there add a key with the class name and in there a string value with the name Enable2ndOverlay and the value 1.
e.g. Resco Explorer:
"HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseAPClass\XYZ\ClassName" with the value "RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS"
and
"HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI\RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS\Enable2ndOverlay" with the value "1"
Yes but no landscape support for this function..(only on tab music and some video app that rely on the class-->FullScreenPlayer)..any solution?
Works perfect for me, but maybe if u set the Enable2ndOverlay to 2 instead of 1 it will work, cause the AlbumPlayer also use the 2.
But I really dunno how to set the VolumeOverlay in the ConfettiLockScreen (the ClassName of the LockScreen). An alternative would be to set the volume steps to 1/15 like in the overlay.
Any progress on this front? =) I would love to use the volume as it uses in music tab all over my phone!

add the desired player to rotation with bsb tweaks 1.6 and when tilted the volume overlay is tilted as whell.
I like the VolumeOverlay cause it's prettier, it doesn't interupt your current task and u can set 15 steps instead of only 5. Here's an instruction how to enable it.
Easy way with registry:
In HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass\ create a key with any name and in there create a string value with the name: ClassName and the value is the name of the window class (I use BSB->rotation settings to find that out).
That works quite fine with the most application and especially for standby if u use the windows lockscreen u only have to set the value of the string value to ConfettiLockScreen and you dont have to reboot. (It only works if u play some kind of sound otherwise u dont see anything ).
In some applications it's more useful to have a tilted VolumeOverlay although the portrait version is quite nice and sufficient.
The harder way:
In HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseAPClass\ set a key with any name and a string value with the name: ClassName and the value is again the window class name. In addition u need to set in HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\InhouseEnable2ndUI\ a key with the name of the window class and and in there a string value with the name: Enable2ndOverlay with the value: 2.
Example: LockScreen/Standby
1. I look at the window class name with BSB->rotation->add application->shake in lockscreen. Result: ConfettiLockScreen
2. Create a key in HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass\ with the name Lockscreen (or any name)
3. In HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass\Lockscreen\ I create a string value: ClassName->ConfettiLockScreen
I hope I could help you and I hope it will be implemented in the BSB tweaks in the future. I would advise to combine all this settings (P2Z, rotation and VolumeOverlay) cause it's easier to add an application once and than tick what u want to have.
Hi there
This seems to be exactly what i need but fail at implementing it.
I am trying to enable this for CorePlayer.
The window clasname seems to be 'wCorePlayer'
I created HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass\CorePlayer\
In there i create a string value with the name (REG_SZ?) ClassName and the string value wCorePlayer
It's the first time I edit the registry. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks
A
Okay it works now. With CorePlayer you have to go the 'hard way'.
Thanks!
A
ill add this when i have some free time
Works well here, tested it with the RemoteDesktop (Portrait+Landscape).
But is there an easier way to enable it for all programs?
It's a little bit annoying creating a key for every programm.
thx
Thanks a lot, it's really a great thing !!
i've already add this like you to the lockscreen and it works well
If there are a solution to add this to all applications, i'm in !!
Would be nice if this could be implemented into BSB?!

VolumeOverlay is not showed properly
I don't know why but VolumeOverlay is not showed properly.... it's showed only a black line... don't appear nothing more when I click in Volume buttoms..
May be is because I have installed MaxManila??? or because I have installed a taskbar icons (Brians Taskbar_6.5)???
Any one more with same problem??? or some one know how to fix it???
thanks in advance.

I resolved uninstalling brians taskbar icons, they was not compatible with the manila version of 1.61 rom.
Removed the icons and the volume overlay come back to work.
Is there an easy way to change the steps for the volume? Maybe somewhere a value in the reg?

Nice, thanks NetDwarf for the tip, I've used it for CorePlayer (in the hard way) and the lockscreen, and it's much better now!

Dude can you post how what exactly you did with the registry re: CorePlayer? I'm not so sure how to do it even after reading first post. Thanks!
are there any custom color taskbars present that doesn't cripple the volume overlay?
Could some one make this option in a cab? For people not so geekish?
hi,
I had this kind of volume control (attached image), but disappeared after the installation of a taskbar (DINIK Anastasia).
ideas on how to get it back (preferably in ITA)?

Goto settings then sound and display then switch off single volume, this will give you dual volume controls.

The problem is that I no longer have that kind of screen (attached image 1), but the original (like attached image 2)

thank you, but it's not what I'm looking for
You could try to delete the following files from \Windows\ directory
HTCVolumeControl.dll
HTCVolumeControl.dll.0409.mui
I guess the volumecontrol then can't be found, and WinMo will use the default. Although I'm not sure if it will even work, it's certainly not the best way to fix the problem.
Make a backup first!

Ah, you mean you want the HTC volume control?
Then check this message, I had that problem a while back when installing a different toolbar.
Looks like the custom HTC volume control dll is not compatible with your ROM version. Navigate to windows folder, and delete HTCVolumecontrol.dll file, and reboot. You should get the stock one back.
