[Q] [Q?] CHT Softkey Bar problem... - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Ive been pulling my hair out over this for about 6 hours.
I cannot get my CHT softkey bar to line up properly with the screen. I attached a couple of screens shots to show my problem EVERYTIME. The only time it went all the way down is when i stretched my image the whole 512x128.
What im trying to do is get the bottom edge of the graphic to line up perfectly with the bottom of the screen.
If anyone could show or explain to me how to accomplish this it would be greatly appreiciated.

Ok I have made quite a few Softbars now, so I might be able to help you
I uploaded i little pic with a previous work of mine.
There are 2 lines in it. The upper line (completely red) shows you what is the limit of what is displayed on the screen. Everything above this line will be displayed.
The space between the 2 lines is more or less not necessary
and everything you see below the lower line will be stretched to be the menu panel when the cht softbar slides up
It is however the case, that the part between two lines will fill the lower like 5 pixels of the screen so you want to adapt that to the rest of your softbar, so that it fits
But normally if the upper design reaches down to the upper line there shouldnt be any problem

Yes I thought that this might happen. That means, that you have to shrink the upper part a little and move it upwards.

Yes, as said above and in some instances, I have found it easiest, just to adjust the softkey height just slightly in CHTeditor.
Sometimes that seems to be another simple enough workaround.

HTC Action Screen & Screen Alignment

Can somebody help me please, I tried installing a cab of the HTC Action Screen app from the touch dual on my Herald, after installing I noticed that the top right corner of my screen was not responding to my stylus taps. tried realigning the screen still no joy.
So I uninstalled the app but I still have the screen alignment issue, is there anyway to fix this without a hard reset?
sorry if this is posted in the wrong section as I didnt know if this was just a herald problem or if everybody had this problem?

It could be an old issue with a new device. Back in the day of PPC's it was found that some screen protectors slid under the case of the touch screen causing the screen to not respond appropriately. If you have recently put on a new screen protector or removed one, check the area just beyond the location where it is not responding. You might find something holding the screen down permenantly causing it to not respond. If there is nothing there and none of the things are present, I too am at a loss.
Just an idea.
Did you try a soft reset to remove the remnants of the application you removed?
@Just about right
Dont think it is the screen protector as I have had the same one on since I bought the device (almost a year now) without any problems.
@wovens
yep tried that
Ineterestingly if I open notes and tap the screen I get a dot in the right place, if I tap the top right corner it draws a vertical line downwards from the top right to the bottom. In the meantime what I have done is run the screen alignment, placed the styles in the middle of all '+' except the one in the top right corner. For the one in the top right corner I aimed a little lower than the centre, this allows me to click the X in the top right with the stylus if I aim above the box. not ideal but it will do for now as I dont have the time to reset this week...

Think he means winmo 6.5x too tired to explain,someone help the guy out
Older version of winmo6.5 have start icon on top left, newer ones have it on a bottom bar, so is the ok button and all the others. Is this what you are trying to say?
No way to change it unless you flash a new rom.
No way to flash a new rom without HSPL.
Good luck!
Yeah I'm guessing he is talking about 6.5X v 6.5 as well.
If your start menu is in the upper left corner of your screen you have 6.5
If you have the start menu in the lower left corner of your screen you have 6.5x.
While they are pretty much the same operating system, they are very much different.
It is possible to change the top and bottom bars with a cab, but it is not possible to put the 6.5x soft bar on the 6.5 op system or visa versa.
here is a link to a post with different top and bottom soft keys you might be able to try.
I hope this helps.

Did you get the bottom softbar changed like you wanted?
What phone do you have?
What windows version? 6.5xxx or 6.5 or ?
What ROM Version?
You can find all this in your settings under About Phone...Software Information
no im gonna try right now and i will let u know and thank everyone so much for helping me on other sites i dnt even get a reply so agin thank u guys
and its a 6.5 i guess my start is in the uper left hand side is that good or bad
and ive already tried at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832 and i downloaded some and its not showing up at all it does ask to soft reset my phone like all other downloads and i did it but its not showing up
The supposedly more stable "COM2"/6.5 builds are what your phone's OS is from.
There are a different branch, "COM5"/6.5.x, which offer a more finger-friendly User Interface and have a different layout (start button is on bottom left corner on a taller bottom bar).
The link you provided, however, is for 6.5 builds and does work for your phone. Maybe you need to go into Start>Settings>Home and change the theme there.
I don't customise the graphics that much on my phone so I'm not sure if that's all that's necessary or if that's the correct method but it shouldn't hurt to try

It's there just need to do another step to get it to show up...
Go to Settings/menu-All settings/today.
Pic a wall paper and then touch OK.
then go back to Today, and select T-moble (or your default paper). then close it out to your today screen. The soft bar should be there now.
Cheers!
yes your richt thank u so much

Handwriting and Shape Recognition

I just received my Note 10.1 and am loving it. The only question I have is the handwriting and shape recognition. I have opened S Note and for some reason I cannot see it anywhere. Can anybody help?
In the S Note app in the upper left hand corner inbetween the pen icon and the Text Icon is a another box. Press and hold down o that icon with finger or pen for a few seconds and a productivity toolbar will appear and you can choose between Formula, Shapes and Handwriting recognition. Hope this helps.
Any of you guys noticed that when the pen thickness is very tiny and I draw a circle, it fills it? Everytime I draw a circle, it fills it black but when I make the pen thicker, it works fine.

Yeah that's quite weird. If you move it to the next lowest thickness it doesn't do it. And it doesn't do it for other shapes.

Time for an update.
Is anyone able to enter a simple sentence without it popping into text half way through. I can't stand the fact I can't delay 'recognition' until I enter punctuation. Is there anyway to modify this behavior?
-Apologies for hijacking.

That was going to be the question I was going to ask too.

how do you save images received through MMS on new hangout?

i can't seem to figure it out. i long press the picture but there is no save option and i don't see it anywhere else. anyone have an idea?
edit: oops just noticed the stickied help thread. probably should have posted there instead.
Using Hangouts v2 on 4.2, click the pic to make it full size and then hit your menu button. Save should be the only option.
wow didn't think about making it full screen and accessing menu there. still not used to not having physical buttons
I hear ya. Compared the the S4, you lose so much display with on screen buttons. Not sure why they just don't push the display down further into the lower bezel to gain a tiny bit more usable display.

[Q] Quick question about lock screen gestures

Hi guys,
This might be a silly one, but from everything I read the swipe to left with the screen off is supposed to take you to your home screen. For some reason, this is not happening, as it always takes me to the farthest left screen next to the blinkfeed panel. Is this working as intended, or am I missing something?
Thanks,

That's the way it's supposed to be.The screen next to blink feed is the main home screen so it reverts to that one. Mine does the same.
