Hi
I'm not particulary impressed with the TouchFlo interface. It seems very rough around the edges, for example when you reply to a text message you get an HTC message thread, but if you select to send a new text message the TouchFlo dumps you back to the standard SMS message screen of Windows Mobile. The HTC message thread view becomes incredibly slow when you have a lot of text messages for a single contact as it wants to load all of them, not just the most recent, which seems bad programming.
It also consumes CPU cycles constantly even when not doing anything which all adds to battery drain.
So I've started to try and get rid of it.
This is what I have done so far:
1) In the Today settings unticked TouchFlo, this gets rid of a chunk of it.
2) Disabled the notification service, this allows clicking on the individual icons for battery etc and you go straight to those settings/information dialogs.
3) Disabled the EnlargeStartMenu setting so the start menu is the normal font size.
Things still remain, and I would like to know how to get rid of them if anyone knows:
a) The TouchFlo style volume control still appears, I want the original back which allows setting individual volumes for system and ringing.
b) Dialogue boxes still have the TouchFlo styling, how do I revert back to.
I've also been able to add HTC Home and all in all the device is so much better and faster.
Regards
Phil
maybe you can try one of those "manila-free" roms that are starting to appear in the roms section.
HTC has changed a lot in the Operating system, that's why you can't simply turn off those "skins" like in volume control, I think... At least I didn't find until now a way to get rid of it.
Wait for a simple 6.1 ROM without touchflo and its touchflonettes (lol)
How did you disable the notification services?

How did you disable the notification services?

I used 'Task Manager 3.1' to edit the registry, under the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services is an entry for 'NOTIFICATION MANAGER', I changed the DLL key value to 'xNotificationManager.dll' so it wouldn't load, and this removed it.

You can disable 'single volume' and get the old style in TF Settings tab > Sound.
I'm with you buddy - see my thread on "Getting Rid of TF3D" for more info.
Loving my TD2 without TF3D - it's been a few weeks now and there's absolutely nothing I miss about TF3D. The TodayAgenda plugin is....just.....awesome.

I've sorted this out, it was some software loading when the device starts to skin the volume control.
The key is at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\HTCVolume
to stop it loading I renamed the DLL under the key 'Module' so it couldn't be loaded and this now keeps the standard volume controls.
Regards
Phil
i know this is an old thread, but htc has two volume controls as well:
change HKLM\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\ SimpleMode to 0
Just deactivate it from the today settings and you should be fine, it doesn't take up that much space.
EDIT: I just went back to WM6.1 from a cooked WM6.5 ROM, I'm going to buy SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 because I think it's more indepth than TF3D is even tho I love TF3D.
Save yourself the trouble of MBS 3.5 - it's the most bugged piece of junk i have ever seen, and in fact i have asked for my money back under their 30 days refund policy
TF3D is WAAAY better than MBS3.5 - and MBS 3.0 is waaay better than 3.5
/Smirge
Use my TD2 Tools app, its in a sticky thread at the top of the topaz general forum.
It has options to disable htc notification manager and htc volume control as well as options to bring back the small start menu! you didnt look very far guys! lol

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
EDIT: This should be enough. try flipping your screen/sliding your keyboard and see if the screen changes orientation.
Now put your device on standby, and turn it on again. If orientation stays the same - you're done. If not - try steps 5-7, although they seem to be irrelevant.
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps
So now, if you need something to help you rotate your screen on demand, you could use this small app that i've made.
its called ScreenRotate.exe (naturally), and you use it like this:
usage: ScreenRotate.exe <command line argument>
0 : Rotete to angle 0
90 : Rotete to angle 90
180 : Rotete to angle 180
270 : Rotete to angle 270
CW : Rotate clockwise
CCW : Rotate counter-clockwise
MIRROR : Mirror the current angle
If nothing will be specified at command line, nothing will happen.
.NET CF 2 is needed.
I really recommend using it along with FTouchFlo.
This way, to rotate the screen manually, you just need to drag your finger the way you want the screen to be shown, from top to bottom.
I find it quite comfortable while driving...
Those are the changes you'd need to change in FTouchFlo to make it work with ScreenRotate:
DownUpApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
DownUpAppCmdLine:mirror
LeftRightApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
LeftRightAppCmdLine:cw
RightLeftApp:\Program Files\FTouchFlo\ScreenRotate.exe
RightLeftAppCmdLine:ccw
Thank you so much... I have been looking for this for sooo long.
This is the perfec way to make it stick in either Portrait / Landscape.
There have been many users such as myself who have wanted our devices to stay in landscape and this is the perfect hack.
Thanks again... Cheers
BTW -> Tested and works on my Hermes
Just added it to the Hermes Wiki (Can be found under regisrty tweaks although it's not a reg tweak)
happy to hear that!
you're welcome mate.
I have a tytn hermes with satin black and in the notifications tab there isn't any notification named "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent". I have searched in the notifications tab in task manager and also in the notification queue in memaid. So when i soft reset the device everything goes back where it was (auto rotate screen). Any help? Thank's
EDIT: It is working perfectly even without this notification. I just tested it. So everything OK! ThanX again

actually, you're right.
i guess the notification has nothing to do with it,
i don't remember what made me think it does.

Unfortunatelly I have found 2 bugs. I have a tytn hermes with black satin medium installed. The first bug is that with mis1 unloaded the device can not connect with the pc anymore. When I plug the device it is just being charged but active sync won't open at all. The second bug is that I can not load mis1 again. No matter what I have tried the device mis1 won't be loaded again if I had unloaded it. Any ideas?
Ok i found a way to reload this specific device (mis1).
1. Run taskmanager.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll) (it is unloaded if you have done everything described on the 1st post)
3. Long-Tap on it, and choose "Set Manual"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and choose "Set Automatic"
5. Soft reset your device

Just solved!
The ActiveSync troubleshooter (menu: Help/Troubleshooter for ActiveSync) offered to clear the "Enable advanced network functionality" check box. While trying to do that, an error message "Failed to disable RNDIS ..." was popping up every time. As per this suggestion, I removed virtual COM ports from Bluetooth settings and then it was possible to clear that check box.
Immediately thereafter ActiveSync woke up on the PC and offered to create a new partnership (because I deleted everything in frustration earlier). No problems for half a hour.
Then I left the administrator account and logged on as the usual limited user. ActiveSync again was unable to connect until the advanced functionality check box was restored. Does it seem that those both accounts will require different settings? Dunno, I haven't checked yet.
On my Wizard, with the TNT Rom (August 08), I don't see the device MIS1, and I don't see the event in the TaskManager.
Any ideas how to disable screen rotation, when I slide the keyboard?
Thanks in advance
Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM 1.03.651.4
The MIS1 solution did not work for my phone (Sprint HTC Touch Pro ROM 1.03.651.4), but I found that this does:'
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\CamAppActive = 1
Presumably the device thinks the camera is active and thus doesn't rotate the display.
Obviously this will return to 0 after soft reset, so I used TaskMgr 2.9 to export the entry, then added a startup shortcut to import this entry with the /silent flag.
UPDATE: This fix interferes with data entry in Opera. When I try to type into a google search box, I get one character, the box looses focus, and I gotta tap on it again to type any more. Severely annoying. Goes back to normal when I change CamAppActive back to 0, and close and reopen the keyboard. I may make an exe to toggle or just make two reg import shortcuts.
Way cool!
Works for me too on a Kaiser, with old Dutty ROM.
How in the world did you figure it out? Look at that key?
Thanks, Jeff
It made perfect sense, but admittedly I tried changing everything under "Rotation" before I tried that one.
Item #21 on this list clued me into that area of the registry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398265
El Zilcho.
Bupkis. I've been knocking my brains out trying to disable autorotation, but still have manual enabled. (I've got some apps that play nice only in landscape, and some only like portrait. Also, I'd like to be able to slide my keyboard out really quick-like to enter some quick text, then slide it back w/o messing with screen orientation.) I tried the MIS1 disable, but no-go for me. Also tried messing with the Rotation entries, specifically the SlideKey key, but apparently that value is volatile and changes with each slide. Oh well! Unless there's a way to lock the SlideKey value so it can't be changed, that'd fix my issue. Hmm.
EDIT: Forgot to mention. I've got the Tilt (8900 I guess?) with vanilla OEM 6.1 ROM, modded only for no-bloat. (Did the old battery trick after reset/reinstall to prevent bloatware.)
EDIT: After I typed this up, figured I'd try using Settings>Screen (or somesuch) to just fix perspective. Still auto-rotates. KaiserTweak and Advanced Config can't get it to stick on one or the either, either. Editing registry turns up same results. Settings right now say it's fixed at 0 degrees but it still autorotates.
Late-breaking edit, 14-JUN-10: Got rid of it a few months ago anyways, moved to a Rhodium. No D-pad, so no more worries about those games that didn't like rotation, as they needed the D-pad to work anyways, and the TP2 doesn't have one.
Doesn't work on touch pro 2

That's what I resorted to!
Wow
Wow, pretty hard core fix! On the Sprint Touch Pro 2 Stock 6.1 my reg entry above only works to prevent rotation when the keyboard is slid out, it will not help with the autorotation provided by the sensor. I however put together some .reg files, with my perceived essential fixes including disabling sensor rotation:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=651166
So, following post 'step by step' didn't change anything with my screen rotation settings. still automatically rotates all the time when I don't want it too...really frustrating. This is about the 4th hack I've tried with no success. Does anyone know what the proper solution is for the HTC Rhodium? I'm running stock AT&T Tilt 2 Rom WM 6.5.
I know there are programs you can install to take over rotation control...I'm just looking for a reg change or service hack or something to stop auto rotate from ever happening.
Thanks to anyone who knows the answer!!
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?
Hi all,
I'm trying to get my phone exactly how I like it, and one of the last things remaining is phone profiles.
I don't want to use a plugin for the Today screen, but a seperate app that will pop up when asked and closed when finished.
So far I've looked at PPCProfiles-Pro, PhoneAlarm, and PocketZenPhone, but they all require me to use them as a plugin (except for PZP, which I just didn't like).
Does anyone have any suggestions? I just want to map it to one of the side buttons of my device.
Thanks
Morien
SPB Phone Suite's Today screen plugin can be disabled. I use it for auto profiles.
Thanks, but unless I'm missing something, that isn't really what I'm looking for.
I'm trying to keep my today screen clean (just have rlToday plugin with a big clock face on it) and want to make one of the side buttons open a profile manager where I can choose what profile I want (Loud, Normal, Silent, Vibrate, or what-have-you). Hell, I'd settle for the Comm Manager if that allowed me to choose Normal, Vibrate or Silent (seems to only allow Normal or Vibrate).
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
have you tried linking one of your buttons to PPCProfilesPopup.exe
You don't need to run it as a today screen plugin to select the profile.
One caveat, under WM6x PPCProfiles takes a few (5-10) seconds to completely apply the profile. This delay, plus the horrible UI keeps me searching for a better profile manager, but it's usable.
(Running PPCProfiles without the taskbar or today plugin prevents the auto profile from working, I don't care about this, so it doesn't matter to me, but full disclosure...and all that...)
Look at Pocket Zen Phone

I just got my fuze and have a few questions:
1) What is the easiest way to get push gmail on here? Is it through IMAP idle?
2) How can I adjust the memory usage so that most of my storage memory is used for current program memory (RAM) as I have a 4gb MicroSD card in there?
3) I've been able to disable the PTT button through the registry, but is there any known way to make it a dedicated button for camera, connection settings, etc?
4) How can I change it so that the whole d-pad and 4 buttons under the screen light up via sensor or at least don't shut off as fast?
5) Is there a way to disable the annoying keyboard that comes up on screen when in landscape mode (e.g. like when in a text input box in a browser window)
6) Is there a way to change the items that are listed under the internet touchflo tab?
7) How can I change the location of the images that are pulled in the photo/videos tab for the flip thru? Like I have customized folders on my memory card that I want it to see for the images.
8) What is the easiest way to autofill a recipient for text messages? I seem to be getting inconsistencies when I hit either enter, down, d-pad down, or d-pad center. Sometimes it autofills it, sometimes it goes to the message entry box and other times it pulls up the phonebook.
9) I did that customize your battery icons *.cab by someone on here and it mad it so that I always have a plugged in icon up top instead of a battery or a percentage. I can't find the *.dll to remove... Any tips?
Thanks, everyone!

The internal storage should be used for installing all applications on. The Memory expantion card should only be used to store cab's, music, pictures, video's etc. It should not be used to run any applications from, it's just too slow.

Someone developed some push settings that can be installed as a service on the device but you have to start the background service every time you restart the phone.
Also - Is it normal that when an alarm or notification (like with the calendar) goes off, there is no pop up notification? I have to actually click the little alarm icon... Kind of annoying?
Not sure on the alarm thing I hate WM alarm I use SPB Clock its got a great alarm on it. Let me know if your "interested" in it.

I think you should start by installing advanced configuration tool by Schaps, that will allow you to do amny of the things you listed, and allows remapping of keys, and has a touchflo configuration tool. It won't solve all your problems but it's a start.
As for gmail, i'd check out a beta software available from a company called Seven who make xpressmail for AT&T. Their beta software supports AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, & work email systems for push features. IT's pretty nice. Make sure you get their beta software. I'm using it on my tilt right now, i'll be checking it on my Fuze this afternoon when i get to the store to buy one.
locat the folder its in copy it go to the program files folder and paste a shortcut Rename it if you want. Then add it like you would any other one in the list.
I will PM you when I get home.

Hi,
I have installed the latest WM6.5 Build 21725 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=513605) on my HTC Touch Pro.
But I have a problem (which occurs on all tested roms) with the lock screen: I lock the device. The lock screen appears fast and is immediately responsible. But when I go to suspend mode (by waiting or pressing the power key) and then let wake up the device, I have always to wait a lot of time until the lock screen is responsible to unlock the device. This is very annoying and I want to fix that "bug". Can anybody help me?
Same here. And does anyone know how to remap one of the softkeys to lock the screen? Instead of have to push start >> lock?

Sorry this was gibberish
then im sorry i cant help

this is a knowing trouble because of the beta
Hey pilot... this is a real kick on the ass cause nobody answer this many times users needs a third party app to lock their devices... i didnt lock my device... i just turn it off and disable all the buttons you see... its like a locked simply and crapy phone function.
well i know it looks good que but the problem i had was after a while in standby the buttton would shift to any side however i know the phone wasnt crashed due to the little arrow animatiuons kept going as normal all i did was tap the phone down button and then it worked as it should mind you this was davie ducks v8 on the hd
I figured out that the lock screen is immediately responsible if you set a password. But I don't want to slide AND then type a password
just slide the time bar at the below screen before slide the lock :| i got this bug after upgrading into a 6.5 rom :| now it's done by myself :">
remember at the time of the OPs question 6.5 was very buggy
a lot of the latest releases are a lot better
Laggy
I also have this laggy problem when clicking the right key to bring up unlock screen, takes a while for the unlock screen to appear.
Was looking at ThrottleLock which looks good, but not compatible with 6.5.
I hate iphones so don't want S2U2 !!
Looking forward to update
Correction
Correction, just tried an older version of throttlelock app 0.6, and it works with windows mobile 6.5
Is there some way to just turn the lock screen off? I hate how slow it is on my backup phone, an LG KS20
You may have it in settings-personal, if not, go to HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\lockscreen, and change 'enable' from 1 to 0. Then, you'll have to old-style lockscreen. If you want to see the lockscreen settings applet, then change 'ShowLockScreenPicker' from 0 to 1. You may need to soft reset (but you may not).

Thanks Ted! Works perfectly, for some reason the Lock Screen settings applet won't show, but that's not important as the first registry key solves my problem.
Yeah one way is to set back original WM5x/6/6.1 LockScreen but I have solved it another way... Maybe you have noticed that the new WM6.5 lock screen has delay ONLY on first run so what about put a shortcut to "\Windows\Startup" to lock device on startup (http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJDeviceLock - working also with WM6.5)? I mostly don't need to use the device in first seconds after startup so everything necessary can load to memory and then after unlocking my device is everything relatively fast ;-) BTW you can set lockings with tool named Smart Lock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505032).

The problem with the 6.5 lockscreen is that it kills gwes.exe (at least in my experience). Do a soft reset, open up a task manager and look at gwes.exe. With dotfred's, I'll start at maybe 15 MB, and as soon as I open the lockscreen (I get the delay, too), the gwes usage jumps by about 6 MB, and none of the ram is released. It makes my device buggy over time. Gwes.exe is bloated enough with 6.5.3 roms, you really don't need the lockscreen killing it like that.
I don't know if it's an issue on a stock rom, but the cooked ones have problems. In the 6.5 cooking thread, Da_G said a while ago that it had to do with how most kitchens compile roms. They compress all files the same way, and ignore flags in the dsm's that say whether or not a file should be compressed. He's said that cooking an uncompressed rom fixes the problem. I've tried making a cab of the lockscreen and running it that way, but I still get the initial delay and the 6 MB ram-tax on gwes.exe, so whatever is breaking the lockscreen during cooking because of the forced compression isn't in the lockscreen packages. Anyway, the lockscreen is cool, but I personally hate what it does to gwes.exe, so I don't use it.
What your saying about cooked vs. stock is likely correct, as I had briefly owned an HTC Pure (ATT branded Diamond 2), which shipped with 6.5, and there were absolutely no delays with the lock screen. On the other hand, I still haven't flashed 6.5 onto my X1, so I don't know if its just that my LG can't handle the lockscreen with its 400mhz qualcomm.
