any fix for "olive oil" thin scroll bars?

i have Most Beautiful Ed. on my MDA Wizard. I've tweaked it raw. However i would really appreciate having decent size scroll bars again. Theyre so thin,i wouldnt even try to use my finger on the screen.<(which i have a habit of) Anyhow,if anyone has a cab or any insight on this topic i would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance!

just change the following registry values:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr
HKLM\System\GWE\cyVScr
HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr
to whatever you want... default is 13

i find 10 to be perfect for me...

thanks but...
as you know i am a noob so i was wondering if any of the "senior members" in this forum could just come up with a cab to download onto the MDA. i dont feel like nor do i know how to change registry values. i havent a clue where to find HKLM in my file explorer. Haha...i know thats funny to "senior members". Hell,i've seen cabs for dumb crap. At least this would be worth it. Ha! Thanks in advance again.

Just download PHM Registry Editor, Explorer is 'file' explorer, no registry
Eelco

thanks!
eelco,you are the best! this website is just flat out awesome. its sad that more than 50% of the population with these wizards dont have the balls to tweak and upgrade theirs. all in all, i think im going to try and become a senior member here.(hopefully one day)

wait i take it back...
i downloaded it onto my MDA,went to the files up above HKLM/system etc. and changed the values of those 4 files. it didnt fix it at all. the bars didnt change in size. is it possibly because i changed the "decimal" as appose to the "binary" or "hexidecimal"? or maybe a re-boot neeed afterchanging the value? please let me know,thanks! edit: it needed the re-boot..thanks to all who cared about my woes ,ha!

go and recheck if the value you have changed is there or not.
If not then again change the values and wait for sometime may be 30 sec and close all the application from memory in setting and then reset it will change.

A program called registry wizard will help you do it automatically as well. A bit easier if you never have tweaked your registry before. (Although it is a good thing to learn how to do anyways). You should be able to find registry wizard fairly easy by using the search function for the forum.

if u find changin ure registery difficult get d tweaks 2k2 software it will do d job!

2 QUESTIONS :Cooking with purchased Apps - Manilla 2d Landscape Ability

Hey guys, I have a quick question.
Is it possible to have the unlock codes of purchased applications already in the cab when I'm cooking it?
So I don't have to do input them every time I make an adjustment to my rom.
Unfortunately I won't be sharing the rom... I have a conscience.
2nd Question...
In abusalza's PDACornerUltimate.V10-20931
The Manila 2d Has a landscape mode that "somewhat" works, is this a personal fix or is it included in the lastest Manila 2d Cab?
Thanks Everyone

As for your first question, it is possible but time consuming and tricky. What you'll have to do is find out where the key goes when insterted in the program into the registry (there are programs to see how the registry is altered after a certain move). After that, you'll have to insert that key into the CAB (probably better to do it before making the OEM) which you'll have to use something like WinCE CAB manager. This can be done to most programs and games, not all though.

would I be able to create an OEM out of the program files in my phone, it wouldn't be cab?

No, i've never seen that nor do i think it's possible. I really wanted to do the same thing, however going through many threads and asking so many people about it, i figured it was easier to manually register everything.

Ok great, well that's one down.
Thanks alot Kareem.
Anyone wana take a shot at the other question?

Use Sashimi auto Installer for REG files.
fire use PHM to make a backup of your REG
then register
use PHM again
use find the adjusted REG edits using a REGistry comparer
put the REG files into Sashimi, read up on SAshimi to set it up. and his website has more info on how to do exactly what i said above. incl video
it took me all of 3 hours to learn sashimi and its great..
As for the Second Question, Ask in the thread concerning it.
ive not seen it in the HD3 Releases Im using.

I'm doing that right now.
Another Question.
Do I have to back up my registry from my cooked rom, or can I back up my current rom that has all the applications installed and registered.

Can you name what the program is? please, i'm interested in this. Thanks.

Uhg, im at wits end....

alright..i upgraded to opentouch 6 some time ago and realized that it was really awkward to use when i tried to use my paint program...it would scroll about the screen annoyingly. then i realized that there was a simple kinetic function that was added when i upgraded my rom. although a nice feature, is there a way to disable it? its so hard to draw when my work runs away from me after every flick of my stylus. XD
any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much!

1. This is the development sub forum. This is not a development question. This needs to be moved to the Herald section.
2. No. There isn't a way, per say, short of extracting the touch.dll from the default ROM, turning the module into a file and inserting it into the ROM.
3. OpenTouch 6 is an old ROM, but even with it, the scroll shouldn't be causing the problems you're describing as long as you draw with your finger tip, not with a wide area of your finger.

i dunno how to move stuff...just sayin..
well do you have any idea where i can find the original touch.dll from the factory settings for my htc wing?

You'll have to download the default RUU, then open the exe with a zipping program (like 7zip), then extract the NB out of the NBH. Then extract the files from the os.nb. Then convert the touch.dll from a module to a file. It's a relatively simple process, it just takes a while to do and requires some work.
Although, now that I think about it, if he makes his ROMs anything like I do, go to:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings]
with a registry editor and change:
"EnableScroll"
from 1 to 0.
If you're not sure what a registry editor is, please read up on it. You don't want to mess with the registry unless you understand it. Search around and you'll see quite a bit of information for it.
I suggest using PHM Regedit or CeRegEditor.

it worked...thanks alot!

[HOW TO] write your own cab!?

hello everyone!!
as this forum keeps me constantly flashing my devices, i think i would be able to configure a frehly flashed phone in my sleep. but as i actually dont want to do that and configuring two times a week gets boring, i am looking for a way to autmatically apply basic settings & changes by running a single cab file....
what i want it to do:
- regional settings
- keyboard layout (soft & hardware keyboard)
- sounds & notification settings
- message settings (delivery confirmation, email account, ...)
- weather tab settings
- ... (please post, if i forgot something usefull...)
i know i once read something about how to do that, but cant find the information anymore... so if someone could point me in the right direction, i would be gratefull!
what di you think about that idea in general?
opinions and ideas are very much appreciated!!
best regards,
krz

you need to read up on Sashimi

Or try hunting down those entries on the registry, export them and then convert them into cabs ..

exactly what i was looking for. i guess...
will have a closer look at this one!
thank you!

If you tweak those registry using Advance Config, you can save it (export) and later load it again (import). However, for things that is not covered on Advance Config, you have to do the SKTools manually .. I did that for several items and it works out ok ..

I'm curious

My bad in advance if this question is off topic.
Lets you say you flashed the stock rom [why i don't know] or one of the roms hanging around here. The RUU goes to 100%, you set the screen, the time, you get a peek at the home screen (lookin pretty plain there) only to be told to wait 3 seconds. A couple things run get a little progress indicator and the thing reboots.
Now your home screen is looking different. Couple plugins enabled, others disabled. Been scouring XDA regarding this and only found scant references here or there about setting your thing up to install cabs off an SD card. I'm looking for something more in the neighborhood of having different plugins enabled, possibly settings too.
Anywho if you know of where I can get some reading in about this type of stuff, lemme know.

It's the built-in autorun. There are also many different third party alternatives. A few are in SuperJustKitchen v0.7.
Besides that, I'm trying to decide if this is offtopic or not... Technically it has to do with cooking....

hehe i'm walking a fine there...
I was wondering who were those guys and what are they doing in my kitchen? Autorun, check autorun, and run cc From what I gathered about those programs is that runcc is like autorun but newer. My guess in using them is setting up some sort of txt file and pointing runcc or autorun to it.
If so what can I put in that txt file, coz I know i can't write something like "uh... dood, I don't want titanium enabled, I want this one enabled with this setting and that setting ticked... and while you're at it can you fiddle with that one over there, and lets throw some cabs on there shall we? they're over here..... you're not done yet, now I want you to monkey with the settings like so... alright now get the hell out of my office!"
If I could I would...
Whatever information you can point me over to would be cool.
Thanks

RunCC is meant as a replacement for Autorun. Autorun just requires a text file while RunCC requires a Lua that points to a text file.
There are a few walkthroughs but nothing concrete on how to create a good autorun file.
Some of the commands are:
The lock screen command (I forget what it is)
EXEC: (Execute the following)
CAB: (Install the following cab)
CPY1: (Copy from this)
CPY2: (Paste to this)
RST: (reset the phone)
In the older Autoruns, to set a theme you'd use:
EXE: along with a program that set the theme
In the newer Autoruns, you can just set it with:
TSK: \Windows\theme.tsk
Unfortunately, neither works with WM6.5.1 so you have to set the theme with an EXT with many files and registry keys.
There are a few other autorun apps that people in xda have made that can do more, like be able to run your own custom config from your SD card if you want every ROM to have certain things automatically configured (as long as all the ROMs support the particular auto-configuration utility you have configured for.)
To tell you the truth, I never bothered much with Autorun unless I had to replace a file that needed to be one version for the rom to load the first time and another after the first time set up was done. Realistically, you can do almost everything with a simple EXT package.

I was thinking the very same thing. Something's telling me that I need to try out that "Create Ext" button. Maybe throw whatever reg keys I want played with in that file? That would be more simpler than creating an auto run thingie. Hmmm... if that is the case I guess I would to just need to know how to tinker with my home screen and settings from the registry.

The easiest way to learn is to take a CAB that does something you like and converting into a EXT and looking at the registry settings it creates.

That definitely helps, as well as using a reg editor to find out what has been done after installing a program then exporting the key to throw in the app.reg file. The real fun part was tracking down basic settings for things like button settings, today items (and their settings), and default theme (boy was that a blast!) Thanks again for clearing up the confusion
