Been messing with the Touch options, really like them. Few questions:
1. I'd like to be able to get to the touch cube from any application, not just the desktop. Can I do this?
2. I'd like to get a touch scroll ability, would be nice for web browsing and playing music. Can I do this?
3. How do I make it so I can use a lighter touch on the device? Have to press down a bit more than I'd like to make the cube work.
Thanks.
Provide more info about your device... what ROM are you using too?
As far as I know it, if you use a buttonless Cube activated ROM, you can bring it up whenever you feel like it. The touch scrolling works on every interface, even web if you use a touchflo'ed rom. About the sensibility, you can increase it by changing the registry:
\HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold and increase the value to > 7322 - default from Wizards...
Updated my sig with all phone info. Will try the registry setting.
Wonder what it'll take to make my clocl actualyl update, haven't had that work with any of the TNT series roms...
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

Same for me...
Instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Drivers\TouchPanel
I searched the DWORD PressureTreshold and found it at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
maybe there are different Versions and other Destinations of the Key TouchPanel.
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?
Scrolling with the up/down buttons on the keypad can be made faster in settings. But what about the jog dial? Its set a little slow for my taste, are their any registry entries that control it? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

How do you do that in settings?
I'll add voice to that - actually for me it's a bit fast, it does a whole screen on email for instance, whereas line-by-line would be MUCH better
Thanks

Goto Start Menu>>Settings>>Buttons, then click on the "Up/Down Control" Tab. The device will feel a lot faster after speeding it up. I keep mine set a bit further than the fourth tick as the higher settings are probably only useful if you tend to scrolling through a lot of stuff.

Hmm, interesting, I didn't really even realise that for e-mails as I primarily scroll using TouchFlo inside of e-mails. My reasoning is that I want to use the Scroll Wheel in HTC Audio Manager like I would use it on an IPod, but currently, its set too slow for really efficient use.
Thanks for your help
No one knows about??? The scrolling speed using then D-Pad wheel is too low....... three-four laps to scroll just one row........ :-(

Try this registry tweak found by me yesterday.
Greate the key in HKCU\ControlPanel\keybd\ named JogWheelSensitivity type DWORD
Value 0 is max sensitivity. More value - min sensitivity.

Thanks a ton bro
First of all Thank everyone that uses this site because it has helped me do alot with my Sprint HTC Touch Pro. I love this place.
My first question is if I have done everything I should as far as increasing the speed and preformance. I've done the audio boost and the battery and speed cabs. I'm using the defualt Sprint ROM, afraid to change it lol.
Next, Is there a way to change in the settings or registry the "backlight" I suppose. Where it will still show up or something when the phone is idle, it seems like I have to slide it open to get the screen to brighten up again.
Third, I have added the Calender, Call History, Sounds, and Communications tabs through roscoe explorer editing the 26xxxx_manilla file. Any ideas on adding AIM to these tabs?
Lastly, Can anyone point me in the right direction on making icons? I make icons for the pc aswell as program in C++ with adobe knowledge. I just dont know where they are on the tf3d.
Thanks everyone for all the support. I will help anyone as much as I can.
Oh yea, btw My wifi works fine but my sprint data doesnt work. without wifi i cant browse the net, watch tv, or navigate. any ideas?

The tab icons and graphics can be extracted using TF3D editor (look in the diamond software section) Adding an AIM tab is a bit of an unknown so until there is a SDK for manilla which can be used to add arbitrary code into a tab im not sure what could be done).
I would also check with your provider to see what settings are needed to get data through your connection as they might not be set correctly.
So far im not aware of any CDMA specific ROMs so you are best off to wait until there are some designed for use on the Herman (CDMA Raphael) you will find them in the CDMA section when they are released.
Thanks
Thank you very much
if u wanna light up the backlight when the phone is idle, just touch the centre of the dpad, as it is capacitive and it will light up the backlight again! Cheers!
im a touch pro 2 user and use g config (which needs a stylus to use) to add things like tom tom to the rotate list of the g sensor, is there a similar app for the HD2, i want an app that doesn't run in the back ground, with g senors once you add the program you want to rotate you just soft reset its for a friend
thanks for any help

change screen is great as are other rotate apps like gyrator.
But the OP was asking for something that adds rotation to an app via a reg change then soft reset. BSB tweaks does exactly this.
You can actually do it yourself without the need for any extra apps... see my tutorial here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589570&highlight=rotating+registry
Personally though... i use gyrator. It runs in the background yes but doesnt take up much resource. The reason i use it is because i simply set up ONE rule that rotates EVERY screen through all 4 orientations depending on which way you hold it using the g-sensor. Portrait, Landscape right, landscape left and upside down. One rule and all is done!
really looking fora single app not a tweak app for loads of tweaks one that doesnt run in the back ground,

I understand what you mean, but BsB Tweaks won't actually tweak anything unless you make it. You can just use it for adding apps to the registry for rotation and/or zooming.
