Another tweak to really speed up the TOUCH PRO

Hi, I've posted this in lowyat.net forum, but I wish to post this here as well, because I think this is a very significant tweak. Anyways, this method was originally found in this forum, just that I think no one suggested this method to speed up the Touch Pro.
Here comes the tweak:
I've been facing this issue where the SIP menu (aka input menu), takes like 2 seconds to popup when you want to switch the input method, making me wonder if I didn't manage to press the little triangle... My old PDA didn't have such an issue.
So after some searching, I found this:
give it a shoot , Get a registry editor ,
1. Export HKCR\CLSID (will save to a *.reg file)
2. Del or Rename HKCR\CLSID
3. Import the backup of HKCR\CLSID
Turn off your device about 15 sec and reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...t=301433&page=1
And yup, it works!! The SIP menu is now very responsive, and the system is now faster, and more responsive. Games do not lag anymore, especially the old ones.
Anyway, I didn't have to reset to see the effect.
In that thread, someone suggested the renaming method. Actually I used that method, but found that I can't rename the CLSID back because the system created another one. Luckily my Resco Registry Explorer allows me to copy and paste the keys from the old folder into the new folder. If not, it'll mean another hard reset. And one more thing, DO NOT SOFT RESET BEFORE YOU GET THE CLSID BACK!! "Turn off" in the thread means sleep, cuz unlike our TP, old PDAs cannot really be "turned off". It's best to backup your PDA before performing this procedure.

Anyone tried this fix?

SIP changing is really quick now. The device seems to be faster,but maybe it's a "placebo effect". Thanks for the tip,something helps this.

Some magic. It really works.
Thank you.

Thats Awesome
Wow! This tweak works perfect! BIG THANK for posting this here!

Btw,I know about this already few years,from that time I have tested HTC Himalaya,but I never tried it till now.

well, i think it works.
but i am not sure.
like mentioned in this thread, it could be a placebo effect.
cause i have not reset my TP for a while.
and after this tweak you have to reset, and after a reset the TP is always a little bit faster.
but if you aplly this tweak as instructed, nothing can go wrong so......
if you don`t try you`ll never know

As I said,SIP changing is really fast now,so at least one benefit you get. Before was 3-5 seconds,now <1s.

sorry to be a bother. but with PHM regedit i held my cursor over the CLSID key in the registry rather than making a backup. I did an export. stupidly I deleted the key instead of renaming it. now when i try to import the key back in, first off the import choice in tools is greyed out and when i try restore and selecting the file I get "error". I'm hoping if all CLSID's are the same someone would be kind enough to bail me out by uploading their CLSID backup.
thanks in advance

update: false alarm, solved it.

I too did this tweak, and did notice that in my threaded SMS, opening the QWERTY had an immediate response. I'm about 2 hours since I've done it, so I will see how this is going this time tomorrow. I hope this is perminant, and I see this response delay with the input method gone forever.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!

Awesome post for someone new to this forum!! Thanks a lot! System does seem faster. I have an old game, Warfare Inc, that I still like to play once in awhile. Hasn't run smoothly on my TP until now.

I tried this but all hell broke loose! now my tp wont even start.. so im guessing something went terribly wrong.. now i have to hard reset the thing. and loos all my stuff in there.

at first everything was ok! but later I spoted that GPS reception was totally lost - no fix enymore! Reinstaling NETCF3.5 seems to fix it.

Here you go

does it work on htc diamond? was wondering if anyone experiences the lag when typing with phone keypad.. the words 'take their time' to appear.

I tried and my TP wouldn't boot. Had to hard-reset. I made sure the CLSID key was re-created before I did a soft-reset.

Hmm, what does this tweak actually do? export and import your registry settings?
I'm unclear as to how that's making anything better?

this also hosed up my TP. Wont boot. Have to restore it now errrr

Those with "hosed" TP's make sure you really export the reg file, and not copy/paste. I could not find the option in the reg part of Total Commander so I used TRE, another free reg edit tool found on this forum many years ago Please search for it as it is so simple to use. Would have uploaded for you, but am not using my regular pc

I think that we don't even need to export and import the reg key. It seems to me like only rename the key (ex CLSIDold) and renaming it back (CLSID) then shut down for some seconds, works too.
It looks like working to me that way. Now SIP change takes one sec.
WOW !!!

X1a - WON'T select other inputs than "Keyboard" even after full reset

Hey. This isn't a big problem, as far as I can tell, but it is worrying.
In the Settings\Personal\Input area I can select all the input methods, however upon pressing "OK", nothing changes. Returning to the Input area shows that it's still set to "Keyboard". I initially thought the problem may have come about from me installing the blackstone keyboard, but after a full reset, wiping all data and programs, it still doesn't work the way it should. Any suggestions would be most helpful.

This confused me as well, but I figured out the solution to the problem. Go to a place where you could use an input method (like writing a text message) and from there change your input method. Then it will be changed.

no i think with most winmo 6 and 6.1 machine itll re load the microsoft keyboard evey boot there after
this app made by sleuth i think may help
default IM

Dude! It works beautifully! Still can't fathom why it didn't just do it in the menu, I mean what's it for then? I suppose must be there just to adjust settings and so on for the various input methods that you can then select from the popup menu when you're actually inputting things. Thanks for the help.

Disable predictive-like text thing

Posted this in HD2 general, might not have been the right section as no-one seems to be paying any attention, and I really want to sort this!
May be a stupid question, I've searched my phone and the net and couldn't find anything, though I'm not sure what I should be searching for anyway.
I'm hoping someone can tell me how to disable the box of words that pops up when typing something, trying to predict what you might be trying to say.
I'm sure it's only been showing up recently, possibly since I installed an application or something, as I don't remember it being there when I first got the phone, otherwise I would have asked this question by now.
I've attached an example of what I'm talking about.
I've tried going into Text Input Settings and enabling / disabling Spell Correction, Word Completion (XT9) and Word Complection (ABC) (all off at the moment) but it doesn't seem to make any difference, and it's really bugging me!
Any help would be really appreciated!

disabling those options and resetting the device does the trick for me.....
btw what kind of keyboard are you using there?
also you have an "options" when selecting the keyboard input, in that opting menu you need to disable them there too.

I've tried a number of different combinations of settings and resetting the phone in between, just doesn't seem to pay attention to the settings.
Also think there's something weird going on as the XT9 and ABC doesn't make any difference when using the normal keyboards, it no longer has the XT9 style text prediction instead of this blocky word suggestion. Though I don't care about the missing XT9 mode, I just want to hide this.
Also, I'm using Swype keyboard, which was installed after this happened in the hope it would hide the word suggestion, but no such luck

Anyone? Anything?
Really want to sort this, but need assistance!

Try going to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip. If you have the key 'suggwords', change it from 4 to 0. You may need to soft reset. There are many other settings that can be tweaked in there as well. You could just change 4 to 2, so the suggestion panel doesn't take up as much real estate. Still, it will occasionally obscure a control, which is annoying.

Perfect! That's exactly what I wanted.
I knew someone would know!
Many thanks.

[Q] Any way to force keyboard to popup?

Is there any way to force the onscreen keyboard to popup? I've had a few instances in the browser where I needed to type something and the cursor was in the right place but no amount of clicking would make the keyboard pop up so I could type. Is there any way to manually force the keyboard open in instances where the automatic open fails? Thanks.

Hold the menu button and your keyboard should pop up.

that just brings up search

Weird. It definitely brings up the keyboard on mine.

is this possible to port?

do you think you can put up the files in your "system/user/keylayout"
edit: nevermind

Did you get it fixed?
I can not get the files as the phone i tested on is in the possession of someone else and is not rooted (crazy right?).

I checked the rom listed in your sig and the files are different from the ones on my cappy so I couldn't really compare them. Also, what phone were you using?

My roommate is using the captivate from at&t, completely stock and unrooted though.

And now that I checked it out, he's an idiot. I asked him if holding the menu button brought up the keyboard just like on my nexus one (and showed him) and he tried it and said yes, but it really just brought up the search plus keyboard... Ugh. My apologies. I should have just checked for myself lol.

hmmmmm.... it looks like we may have to bring in the big guns...... does anyone happen to know any big guns?

[Q] MyTouch 4G won't type for 20-30 seconds

I couldn't see this same problem anywhere else, please post the link if you know of another place this topic has come up.
I have a MyTouch 4G which is running Android 2.2.1 I'm not terribly techno-savvy, so it isn't rooted, there's nothing on it you can't find in the Android Market.
The problem I'm having is that when I get a text, for instance (this is just one example, it's not just a texting problem) when I pull up the keyboard and try to type, whether it's tapping a letter or using swype, nothing appears in the text box. The screen is obviously fine because I can navigate to, and open the messaging program and even tap the window where my response will show bringing up the keyboard. It's only after this point for 20-30 seconds or so, whatever I type doesn't populate the "Type to compose" box. The text prediction will even bring up a suggested word, but if I tap on it, nothing happens. It's not a lag, the words don't all appear suddenly 20 seconds later.
This was only one example, it happens any time I need to type. The Google search box, the search box in contacts, a note in DropBox....anything.
Has anyone else had this same issue? Or, do you have any ideas as to what I might try to get this problem taken care of?
Thank you in advance

i had the same Problem on my galaxy s when i still had android 2.1
After the Update to Froyo the problem disapeared
Maybe you should root your phone and install a different kernel and rom?
I am quit sure that this would fix your problem

I'm pretty unskilled with things like rooting my phone. Apart from that, the root procedure on the MT4G is a complicated one, at least the ones I've seen.
Thanks for the reply though Jcyber, Any other ideas folks?
