touch screen problem

Hi all
i have a problem with the screen on an xda1. the bottom third of the screen is mis aligned when i tap it. i cannot run the 'align screen ' application cos i cant tap the system tab. is there a way to force this 'align screen ' prog to run (copy a file to start-up? or delete its config file??)
ive tried a hard reset and tested the screen in boot loader mode it seems ok.
TIA

ps imrunning xda developers rom v1.2

if it's only mis aligned that means you can manage to hit the right spot to start the "align screen" application ... and by hard reset the device will launch the "align screen" by default ... so, maybe you can clarify more on this problem

i cant tap anything in the bottom 3rd of the screen so i cant do a re align i do a hard reset but im running a non standard ROM so i dont get the automatic alignment during setup.
I hope this makes it clearer
Thank for the reply

Though I don't have a solution to your problem, I have experienced it with one of my other PDAs. I have an iPaq 5555 that all-of-a-sudden one day experienced exactly what you describe - the top of the screen seemed aligned, but the further down the screen you got, the further off the alignment was.
I tried an SR, no difference. Next I tried a HR followed by a restore from backup, no difference. Then I tried a HR with no restore and it worked properly. I then installed each of the programs that was loaded and it has worked correctly since.
While I'm not sure exactly what the cause was, it must have been some sort of OS or registry corruption because it was restored when the system was restored, but not when the system was re-loaded.
Since you seem to have a cooked ROM, I'm not sure how practical a step-by-step reload is, but maybe flashing a "bare" ROM might help you to determine if it's a hardware/OS/software issue. You should be able to cook one up in Lumpistefan's kitchen.

heard people here on the forum asking how to remove the hardreset align part (pretty bad idea if you ask me)
i suppose you could flash another rom on it then you could get it to align
if the version was the same you could even restore your backup

Thanks for the reply guys
im a bit nervous abot flashing the rom, i bought this of ebay with this rom and the only time i tried to flash my XDA2 it screwed it up and i had to send it for repair.
i know there are tools on the forum for fashing roms but what is the safest way : or what do you advise
i have no back- up for this device so we start with a clean sheet
TIA

EMPTY Remove Programe In Settings Menu

I have installed applications around 45 (less than 50 for sure) but after installing the last three - four apps I found that Remove Program list is not showing anything. Immediately I removed the lastly installed four five programs using SK tools but the Remove Programs list is still blank although the programs were successfully removed. Everything is working alright though. I think something has crashed in Registry.
It also happened earlier and I had to hard reset to get it back. But this time I am seeking advices from anybody if there is a way to get back things anyway - probably by a Registry Edit.

this is a bug in windows mobile. we found it on the shadow on tmos stock rom.
there is no fix for it. just gotta use active sync to remove programs or like you used sktools.

OK, so I have to stay with the blank menu only till I hard reset.

yes sorry to say

I had the same problem after installing a bunch of programs and tools. But I think I found a solution: after removing VoxOC Setup.CAB "remove programs" is working again. I'm not sure that it was VoxOC Setup.CAB but give it a try....

Infact I dont have VoxOC installed in my device. So it might be something else. Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.

I installed the following programs from this thread:
- HTC_Task_Manager_2.1_34837.5.cab
- AudioManager_2.0_1819.1228.cab
- Dr. Gonzo s730 Audio Manager.cab
- Vox_BlackSecondHTCSplashscreen.cab
- Vox_BlackCommManager.cab
- Contact_changer_v1.3.cab
One of them is the villain and caused the remove program menu to appear empty! I would suspect the Second HTC Splashscreen as I had troubles removing the program...

Keyboard

Had my TP for just over 2 months now and when i slide out the keyboard to write a sms i start typing and nothing shows up, the curors doesn;t even more along as i type. It will only sometimes work in Notes and i used excel earlier today and had to type and the curosr moved along with each button press but wouldn;t show the text. I had to move down a row to actually see what I typed.
Thanks
Regards,
Neil

mine did the same thing
when I first got mine a few weeks ago, it did the same thing. I cant tell you what caused it happen though
I search through all of the programs I had installed that effect performance and eventually did a hard reset and it started working normally.
I also had an issue with programs running very slow and the tf3d lagged bad. You should flash your rom, it makes a world of difference. If you decide to do it, look through all of your installed programs from the factory rom and make a list of what you want to keep... not all roms have everything you need installed. Then just download all the programs back to your new rom. I used NATFs V2.3 and am really happy with it.
BTW I am a newb and have never done anything like that to a phone before... I just followed the instructions on the Rom development page (sticky) and it was a breeze.
you should do it

Thanks Mike for your help.
What worries me is what would I do if for any reson I need to send the phone back to Vodafone?
I have asked for a link to the defaul Vodafone Touch Pro rom on here but nothing has turned up.
I am also just worried about doing the whole flashing thing as I just don;t really want to break it

If you follow the steps in the stickies, you wont mess up your phone. I am not sure about the vodaphone rom... would it really matter to the company what rom you have if you warranty is covering a broken component of the phone. Just drop it in a bucket of water and claim the insurance taht way??? Maybe someone else can chime in.

Hey :) Im desperate ( Lg e610 Soft brick)

Hey guys.. im kinda in a pickle.. And didnt know where else to turn to
So basically i rooted my phone. Everything went well . The reason for rooting was pretty much to change my DPI. And when i got the DPI changing part. Things went wrong.
I found a program on app store like DPI changer or something that allowed me to change it. Saw it, did it. And it like messed up my screen reso, everything was big and couldnt click OK and stuff. So as the app said to reset the normal DPI just reboot the phone. So i did.. But the DPI remained the same. So i figured i would uninstall the program.. Maybe that would be the case.. Since i couldt click the ok button to change it back to my default after opening the program again after rebooting. And that did nada. So i assumed i can download another DPI changer that has the OK button more above of the screen. After brief search i found one. And when i set it to my default (160 ) It asked reboot .. And i was so relieved.. thougt i was golden. But after the LG welcome screen the lights in the bottom are on. And the screen just stays black.. I tried to get to the CWM menu or something to do a reset but that doesnt work. Also tried fixes i found online but hasnt yet found one that works for me...
So as said above phone is LG E610 (L5 i think )... And in my oppinion is that the screen just cant run in like these 2 messed up DPI settings. Is there a way to like reset the DPI to default only using an USB while the phone is turned off, that would be my main question.
Also im not really familiar with the terms and stuff IF anyone minds taking the time and replying in "human" language . I would appreciate it alot
