Tweakster - MortScript

Has anyone looked at TWEAKSTER for TREO. Seems quite nice but as I dont know anything about a TREO, maybe someone can port it to Der Kaiser?

"MortScript: Tweakster, BETA available
I know NOTHING about MortScript (have just started reading) so I hope that some of the The Mort Kings are here in Der Kaiser World and will give it a shot..
I cannot get the plugins to work, but main script seems fine..
"The Mort Virgin" =
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cool new app available for you Treo power-users!!
Tweakster has three major functions:
1) Scheduling : create profiles & schedule events (33 plugins included)
2) Tweaks : applying tweaks (97 tweaks included)
3) Probes : retrieve system info (44 probes included)
Here are some examples of what you can do...
- Set up profiles for your favorite settings
- Change ringtones at 9:00 Mon-Fri to one set of ringtones, and
evenings and weekends to a different set of ringtones
- Soft Reset at 3:00 AM every day
- Turn Bluetooth & Wifi on at 8:00 AM, Mon - Fri
- Clear you IE cache every night at 2:00 AM
- Turn Brightness up, but keyboard lights off at 7:00 AM
- Check an eBay auction every 15 minutes, display current bid on Today Screen
- Set a storage alert when your builtin flash storage drops below 1MB
- Leave yourself a Voice reminder for lunch at 11:45
- NEW: Use your Treo as a SpyCam, schedule a video recording in "stealth" mode"

That DOES sound pretty cool. I would imagine one of the skilled artisans here in the Kaiser world could take that and make it work.

For those that are interested, here is ALOT more detail on Tweakster.
1.0 PLUGIN DETAILS
The plugins included are fairly simple in nature and intended to showcase what you
"can" do with Tweakster. Some of them are very useful, others are sorta lame, all of
them could be improved upon. By all means, I hope others will either improve upon this
or add to this collection to make it more useful.
Audio Play - Plays an audio file, currently scans the "\Windows" directory looking for
sound files. This can be changed by modifying AudioPlay.input.
Backup Folder - Will periodically zip up a folder and save the zip file in the specified
target directory. Currently these are specified via BackupFolder.ini
under [settings]. You can also configure how many backups to keep in the
target directory, in order to limit the number of backups, at which point
it will remove the oldest backup as it creates a new one. Note this is
not intended as a full-backup solution, please use one of the fine products
available for that. This is intended for periodic backup of notes, saved
text messages, etc.
Auto Dialer - Will call a number at the specified time. It cannot do much else because
I can't control sound while the call is connected, so it's only useful
as a wakeup call. Although one clever user added that this could be for
for voting on Americal Idol. Please use responsibly This requires
VJDialer from VJPhoneTools.
Battery Alert - Will alert you if battery drops below a certain percentage. Allows you to
set a higher threshold than the default of 10%, if you want to know sooner
rather than later.
Bluetooth Off - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Bluetooth On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Brightness - Allows you to alter the brightness level. Note, even though the control
panel lets you set the brightness level to 0, this plugin will NOT allow
that setting because once it exits the control panel you would have no way
of figuring out how to put it back!!
Cleanup - Allows you to selectively clear the IECache, \Temp directory, or
\My Documents\temp directories.
Clear Call History - Does what it says, wipes out your call history.
Clock Radio - Sorty cheesy plugin, but cool at the same time. If you don't like the
techy alarms and prefer something more traditional, this may be for you.
It allows you to select a radio station (I preloaded a few, which you can
change by modifying ClockRadio.ini), and it wakes you up at the specified
time displaying a full-screen analog clock. The clock has an "exit" button,
and if you tap on the clockface, it will snooze for 10 minutes. This requires
an internet connection to work, so don't even bother if you don't have a
reliable connection.
Ebay Auction - Specify an ebay listing number, and it will display the current bid and
time remaining at the chosen interval in a message box.
Flash - Will flash the keyboard lights multiple times to get your attention. May be
useful if you want a visual alert, rather than an audible alert.
Keylight Off - Does what it says.
Keylight On - Does what it says.
Launcher - Launches an application or file is there is an associated handler with that
file type. You can type in file path and the arguments at the time of
configuration, or if configure Launcher.ini, it will take the file and
arguments from there. Note, there is a bug in MortScript that if you
bring up the "Alt" keys to select a "\", once you quit that it will send
a return key to Mortscript and you will never be able to type in the path!
Use the on-screen keyboard instead.
Memory Alert - Allows you to set a free memory threshold and once free memory dips below
that, it will bring up an alert notifying you. Note, this is not a real-time
memory monitor, it only checks when the plugin is scheduled. i.e.) every
15 minutes or whatever interval you choose.
Message Box - Type in some text, and a message box with that text will show up as a reminder
at the specified time.
NoDoze - Will keep the phone awake at the specified time, for the specified amount of
time, battery be damned. Use sparingly.
Note Reminder - Will bring up notepad and let you type in a note, or if you prefer you can
scribble your note, and it will bring it up at the scheduled time.
PhoneRadio Off- Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
PhoneRadio On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Ringer Volume - Does what it says, speaker volume is set independently.
Ring Tones - Allows you to set the "known caller" ringtone, and the "unknown caller"
ringtones at the specified time. It will check the following directories:
\Windows, \Windows\Rings, and \My Documents\Rings. It has a limit of 96
files and it can be slow to bring up the selection dialog depending on how
many files there are, please be patient.
Soft Reset - Schedule a reboot at the specified time. There is a "cancel" message, that
will allow you up to 60 seconds to cancel before it reboots.
Speaker Volume- Does what it says, ringer volume is set independently.
Note, there is no "Call Volume" plugin yet.
Spy Cam - Schedule a video recording. You specify the number of minutes to record
and you Treo will automatically create a video recording. If you specify
"stealth" mode, the Treo screen will remain blank and appear to be off
when the recording takes place. If you have LEDup installed (another 3rd
party app), it will give you the option of blinking the green LED while
it is recording. Please make sure you have specified the "Storage Card"
as your save location in the camera app, otherwise you will run out of
storage very quickly. You will also need to disable Keyguard for this
plugin. And finally, another caveat is that there is no recorded audio
while in stealth mode, this is a bug that will hopefully be fixed soon.
As with the Autodialer plugin, please use responsibly
Stock Quote - Allows you to specify a space-separated list of stock symbols and will bring
up a message box with stock quotes at the scheduled interval. Currently
these must be specified at the time you configure the plugin, not from the
.ini file.
Storage Alert - Allows you to set a free storage threshold and once free storage dips below
that, it will bring up an alert notifying you. Note, this is not a real-time
storage monitor, it only checks when the plugin is scheduled. i.e.) every
15 minutes or whatever interval you choose. You can set thresholds for
builtin flash or a storage card.
Today Line - Display a short message on the Today screen by hijacking the Operator/Carrier
Name. You can choose from the following:
News Headline
Stock Quote
Weather Forecast
Battery Status
Storage Status
Memory Status
eBay Auction
Note, because of the limited amount of space, the amount of information that
can be displayed is minimal. Once again, this is not real-time, it is updated
as often at the plugin is scheduled. There is a lot of room for improvement
here, such as cycling through the various options.
Vibrate - Does what it says, nothing else.
Voice Reminder- Starts up notepad in recording mode and will let you record a voice note.
It will play the message at the specified time.
Wifi Off - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.
Wifi On - Does what it says, requires VJVolubilis.

Hi Martindhk and others,
Tweakster works fine on the Kaiser, just tested many of the tweaks.
Personally I don't like the Mortscript interface, but the tweaks and features of Tweakster might make it better than for instance KaiserTweak or Schaps AdvancedConfig, which both contain similar, other or the same tweaks as Tweakster...I guess someone is going to have to work through all applications and make one
Regards,
Nika.

I agree on your point. Have tried some of the plugins and they seem to work. Could be cool with a nice interface towards the plugin part and the possibility to address them to buttons instead of a schedule

maybe you could post how to actually use the application? thanks

From the "readme"
INSTALLING TWEAKSTER:
Unfortunately, there is no CAB installer yet, you will have to manually
install Tweakster. The following steps should get you up and running:
1) Install MortScript 4.0
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=download&action=view&entry=65
Note, please make sure you install 4.0 and not 4.01 since there are still
compatibility issues in 4.01 that Mort is working on.
2) Install Tweakster
- Unzip the Tweakster_v1.0_BETArXX.zip file on your PC. Copy the entire
"Tweakster" folder to your Treo under "\Program Files".
(Note: It can be installed anywhere if you prefer elsewhere, but please
install it on built-in flash memory rather than the storage card to
minimize any issues.)
- If you want Tweakster to show up under "Programs" from the Start Menu,
you will need to create a shortcut to "\Program Files\Tweakster\Tweakster.mscr"
and place the shortcut under "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"
3) Install VJ utilities.
These utilities allow you to set bluetooth, wifi and phone state,
as well as use the Autodialer plugin. They aren't strictly required but
are recommended, especially if you intend on using Tweakster profiles.
VJVolubilis: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJVolubilis
VJPhoneTools: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneTools
For now, they must be installed in the default location.
Both MortScript and the VJ utilities are lightweight, stable and very well
tested. These applications are donation-ware, but if you feel these apps are
useful, you can visit the author's site and make a contribution.
4) To start up Tweakster, select "\Program Files\Tweakster\Tweakster.mscr" with
the file browser of your choice, or if you made a shortcut in the Programs
Folder, select the shortcut you place there..
PLUGINS:
For more information on the scheduling plugins and what they do, please see
"PLUGIN DETAILS" in the Details.txt attachment. If you want to know how to create
your own plugins, you can take a look at the example plugin scripts in the Templates
folder of Tweakster.
TWEAKS:
In general, you should use precautions when applying tweaks. This goes for
ANY tweaking program, you should make sure you have a full backup of your Treo
and have a backup of your registry before you start trying out tweaks. Some of
the tweaks require a soft-reset, so if the tweak is not immediately effective,
you may need to reboot. If you are not completely sure what the tweak does,
please do some research on the internet. Most of these tweaks are widely known
and you can find information on them at the following locations:

Has anyone looked into the reason why PLUGINS are not working??

also, i dont see a "readme" file or details.txt file in the attachment or post.

SRY - was not part of first post..
Here it is..
The thing is that I cannot get the plugins to work. Tried to SPYCAM - ooohhh - but nope, it needs to be tweaked to fit our device, I guess...

Hi. I was able to get the plugins to work to a certain extent. However I have into two problems in using this script and wonder if anyone might be able to directed me to the solution.
1) When I run a profile of my settings, the program tells me - Error: Script file not found: ". (Quotation mark is the script file not found) It proceeds to run the script I selected from Vjay555 folder anyway after I acknowledge the error message. I tried to look for an extra quotation mark in the Tweakster script (I don't think it is the plugin script that is causing the problem), but I can't make heads or tails of it.
2) When I run the -radioon script, it will turn on my phone radio, but it will not connect to my wireless provider. I'm not sure what that would be the case. If I use the Comm Manager or if I use Battery Status taskbar to turn off the phone and turn it back on again, I will get the phone to connect to my wireless provider.
Can someone help me figure out how to work out these problems? Thanks.
UPDATE: I tried the scripts that were in the plug in folder and found that the scripts were causing the first error reading. The more troubling finding was that VJVolubilis may not work for my phone (8125) as described on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=255911&highlight=VJVolubilis.
What a bummer. Any suggestions on a fix? Thanks.

Hi C
Did you find any solutions?

No solutions, but I have a hint to one of the problems. I installed PPC Profiles Pro from Modaco.com and PocketZenPhone and got the same problem with the lack of network connection when the phone radio is toggled back on. This may suggest that the problem is with the Wizard or with WM5. I don't know how to solve that problem.

Did you get any succes with the other plugins??

Haven't wanted to pay for one if one was available for free. If I can get help in fixing the radio toggle problem, then I'll be happy with PPC Profiles Pro. I'm tempted to try Phone Alarm or PocketZenPhone 6.0 (the version I tried was version 4.5.1), but I had read some bad stuff that happened to other users phones with this program (while others liked it).

help me
any way to reset all my tweaks?

PocketZenPhone 6.02 works on my 8125. I don't know what is different between the two versions that allows it to work. If I can't get an answer within the next few weeks, I'll probably purchase the program.

registry hack wm 6.1

Does anyone explain further this registry hack that I got from other site for newbie like me...........before I screw upmy HTC touch viva (hahahahaa cheap unit)......
Thanks
******************************************************
Improve graphic layer cache performance
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\
Change the value of ‘limit’ from 8192 to 16384, 32768 or 65536 can be used as well but thats an overkill.
Increase Font Cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT\CS=16384
Values same as glyph but currently this doesn’t show any gains so leave 0.
Enable file cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
CacheSize=0×1000(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
EnableCache=0×1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\fsreplxfilt\
ReplStoreCacheSize=0×1000(4096)
Speed up SD Card Transfer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\
MMC_CLASS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\
SDMEMORY_CLASS
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\
SDMEMORY_CLASS\High_Capacity
Change ‘BlockTransferSize’ from 64 to 16. This makes SD much more responsive with 4x faster read times!
Enable IE faster caching
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\AggressiveCache=1
Remove Wireless Manager icon from right-bottom corner of today
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WlsMngSrv
In our case Keep = 0 doesn’t work so I change the filename of WlsMngSrv.dll in this reg key to sth like WlsMngSrv.dllxxx. You can delete the whole key as well but it’s easier to get back to it if you would ever need to. You can still load it from programs menu or assign a hardware button.
Today bottom keys
Create the following keys and strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
112 is the left key and 113 is the right. Now for each key create two new strings for example: Default=Notes and Open=\Windows\notes.exe
Clear Type for horizontal mode
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation=0
Note that 0 is enabled and 1 is disabled!
Enable Cleartype in Pocket Internet Explorer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Internet Settings\ClearTypeText=1
GPRS/EDGE keep alive
Change this if you constantly need internet access and don’t want to wait for connection to establish. It doesn’t drain your battery as this is only a GSM network state flag and nothing is transferred, so there is no way why you shouldn’t use this. The device is simply prepared to send/receive data. This also prevents the red phone button when pressed from closing data connection.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\
{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\
Connections\*your connection name*\AlwaysOn = 1
Change Wireless Manager to default WM style
This will revert default Microsoft Wireless Manager which is much cleaner and faster than Eten’s. You will need an initWiFi script though… so this trick is for advanced users only. Run Windows\wrlsmgr.exe to see how it looks.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\WrlsMgr\
Redirect=\Windows\wrlsmgr.exe
Disable SMS threading in WM6.1
Create binary value:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\
OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled=01

overview.
There are numerous hacks within the text. The text contains headings and steps. First you need a registry editor (PHM registry editor? Sorry, do a search - I've been using MemMaid, which does more, but at a price). Then open up those paths and edit / create the values indicated for the effect that is listed above.
example.
Clear Type for horizontal mode
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\Of fOnRotation=0
Note that 0 is enabled and 1 is disabled!
explanation.
This registry hack enables / disables ClearType, or font smoothing, when the phone is in landscape mode. This is sometimes not desirable, as some phones have some issues with the RGB layout within the pixels for landscape. Open up your registry editor, navigate to the path / key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation", and change the value of "OffOnRotation" - to "0" to enable and to "1" to disable.
question.
Do you need everything translated, or can you work it out yourself? I'll be happy to explain the rest if you want. Just gave an example to demonstrate what I meant.

Increase Font Cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT\CS=16384
Values same as glyph but currently this doesn’t show any gains so leave 0.
Enable file cache
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
CacheSize=0×1000(4096)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\
EnableCache=0×1(1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\
ReplStoreCacheSize=0×1000(4096)
Thanks Bro. but this I want to know more.... Do I have to edit/change the value in that order or delete the first one and subtitute the enclosed value.

And if you wish bro. add more registry hack for better wm 6.1 performance ...........hahahaha.

It doesn't matter what order you edit them in; just do them all at once and soft reset. Before you do anything (with PHM or dotFred Regedit), just back up your registry (select 'export all' with dotfred). You should also just do a full system backup with sprite or whatever you use. If you really screw up, you can always hard reset and then do a restore. Or, you can copy the default.hv (hklm and hkcr) and the user.hv (hkcu) from your \windows folder (not \documents and settings) onto a pc and open it up with ceregeditor. It will look just like a normal registry, and you can see what the original reg values were on the device in factory conditions and restore them (note: it's possible that some of these change during customization after a hard reset/flash, but this will work for probably >98% of them).
You can also look up Advanced Configuration-a lot of those tweaks are included in it, particularly the cache tweaks (under performance). If you do them manually, make sure you get the numeric format correct (hex vs. decimal-you can normally choose).

1. Is there any way to run streaming audio (Google Play, or Pandora) in the background? Only way I have gotten it to work is to use small split screen window.
2. Is there a way to customize the snap setting on the size of multi task windows? We should be able to make open app window whatever size we want.

Is there a hack that would allow us to snap two programs side by side 50/50?

1.any usb-serial adapter that will work with the surface Rt?
2. Any usb data modem / stick that works with the surface ?

1. why does imap in the windows rt mail app works not correct, i think there must be a restriction for sync of max directorys, so the app is not usable, i missing many directorys from my german 1and1 mail hoster (the same on desktop pc win8 pro)?
2. why does the surface rt go offline on 5% battery, shutting down os and no oppinion to start the tablet with the less power?
3. why i cannot deinstall apps from windows rt app store?
4. how i can global disable live titles?
5. very great powershell v3, but i missing "powershell ise", will it be available in future?
6. how i can switch my language from my default osd-keyboard between writing this words (from german to english), i found no key on osd for this?
7. how i can change to different skydrive-accounts in metro-app (the mapped 7gb ist wrong, based on @outlook-com), becouse i have a another old account with 25gb, based on @web.de)
8. does in future coming a fix which enable automatic osd-keyboard in desktop-mode?

1) do you have the correct imap prefix set? How many folders do you have?
2) probably because deep cycling the battery under 5% reduces overall battery life
3) you can't? http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-surface-rt-tip-deleting-apps

5) possibly never, but I agree that would be awesome
6) don't understand - keyboard should use your global language setting
7) you could always share your bigger skydrive's account with your smaller skydrive account - that should make the space accessable from the smaller account. Do that in the skydrive web interface.

I don't think that would work well with app resolution issues. However, it may be possible to do something like this. If you want to do research or something with ie, etc. Just go to the desktop. Snap still works. Take a look.

Take the two apps that are loaded on the desktop and drag one to far top left, and drag one to far top right. Then the two will be side by side.

This will probably depend on the game devs. Games like jetpack joyride stutter and lag on my i5-2310 desktop computer when using touchscreen inputs.

- i don't think that is possible today, becouse the main cpu tact is reduced to 1,3 ghz instead of 1,7 ghz becouse the companion core with 500mhz is not usable, so they reducing the main cores to reach a good battery lifetime

Thinking and knowing are 2 different things, Not all Tegra3 SoCs are clocked to 1.7GHz 1.3 or 1.4GHz top clock is quite standard.

Got my Surface yesterday and installed all the updates and restarted it a few times, battery lasted without any problems. Last evening it was about 50% and then this morning it was turned off and I notices that the battery was completely drained over night. Something must be wrong I guess?

So... to trigger the warning sooner or change auto shut-down:
1. Search battery, tap "Settings" on the searchbar.
2. Tap "change battery Settings"
3. In the following screen, tap "Change plan settings", then "change advanced power settings"
4. In that window, tap the "Battery" option
5. There are options that say "Low battery level" and "Critical battery level" you can change low battery level to change when the notification shows, and critical battery level to change the auto shut-down. I only turned critical to 4% to avoid doing a "dirty" shut-down, so as not to damage the system.
If I helped, please hit thanks!

Is there a way to get movie\tv info to show on your own videos in video app?
I like having the info with purchased movies and tv shows in the xbox video app. Does anyone have any tips to get your own ripped videos to display information in the video app? Or a different app that can do it? I use xbmc on my htpc which would work great but all they have in the app store is the xbmc remote.

Will I be able to connect my Samsung Note 2 to this directly and be able to read/transfer music and mp4 movies?

Most definitely. Just put it the Note 2 in "mass storage" mode. It'll show up like a flash drive does. Copy 'em over and u r done.

Can you use a pen stylus on Surface RT
Hey all,
I have searched the internet and correct me if I am wrong that Surface Pro comes with stylus.... But I really want the surface RT because of the thinner design and the longer battery life compared to Surface Pro but I really wanted to use a stylus so I can write notes on the screen in meetings. I was thinking of the Samsung ATIV as it has SNote and stylus included and has full windows 8 but there is something about the Surface.
Has anyone used a stylus and not one of the filthy fat things you use on an ipad, the actual one that look like a pen with a small nib.
Thanks

I have, and they are ok, but you have to keep your hand up, which you wouldn't have to on the surface pro.

This is really disapointing, so is it only the Surface Pro that see the tip of the pen and cuts out other touch on the screen?
Might have to get the Samsung ATIV instead but I love the Surface RT.

Surface RT has only a capacitive touchscreen. It doesn't have a stylus digitizer at all. The only kind of stylus that will work with it is one that mimics the capacitive characteristics of a finger, and if your hand is on or near the screen at the same time it has no way of telling that you're using a stylus vs. making a multi-touch gesture.

[HOW TO] Calibrate your touchscreen (chinese tablets - YG A701, Pioneer A700 etc)

Hey guys,
So a couple of weeks ago i've bought a chinese tablet that came with Android 2.3.3. As you might have guessed, the calibration app didn't work and basically i've spent hours and hours reading about how to manually calibrate the screen. At first, i thought it would've been a simple thing to do... but no.
So if any of you out there have experienced any problems with the calibration of your tablet, i have a solution. You just have to follow these steps:
1. Make sure you have the ADB drivers installed. (Install the SDK, run the program - SDK Manager.exe - and then scroll down until you find the "Extras". Select Google USB Driver, download and install them.)
2. Root your device using SuperOneClick. (To do this, turn on the device until the home screen appears, then run SuperOneClick). The program is attached at the end of this post.
3. Run the calibration script i also attached. It's in the "Calibration" folder.
4. You should be partially done.
Basically the file responsible with the calibration of your screen is pointercal (no extension) and it is found in /data/data/touchscreen.calibration/files/. When you try to calibrate your screen using the default app, you're going to end up with the wrong values for the pointercal file. For these devices, there should be 20 pointercal values, not 6-7.
BAD EXAMPLE
22865 15 -804946 -267 18625 -1193918 65536
GOOD EXAMPLE
45 175 602 60 625 360 31 397 325 240 50 50 750 50 750 430 50 430 400 240 (these are actually the values of my tablet).
Unfortunatelly, every tablet is different so you'd have to change some of the values in the pointercal file. I have found out that the first ten values are XY pairs, the last ten are needed to calculate the actual position of the touch input. So basically you'd have to modify the first ten values until you have a nice calibrated screen.
These values match the corners of your screen :
45 175 - Top left corner
602 60 - Top right
625 360 - Bottom right
31 397 - Bottom left
325 240 - Center
Remember these are XY values!
There is no standard, so modify them with any text editor, runt the calibration script, restart your device and see what you've got. If you don't have a nice calibrated screen, try again. I have also included a modified version of build.prop, which makes the screen a lot more sensitive and there are overall improvements.
I really hope this post helps somebody. I also hope i didn't make many English related mistakes :silly: I'm not a native speaker so i apologize.

Nice sharing bro.Some of devices not include calibration setting by default.So this tutorial is useful for those device's owner.

[Q] Edit Registry without touchscreen

Hi,
I need some help. I scrued my Omnia 7 touchscreen with the LEO ADVANCED app.
I juste need to set one value to get it working again :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch]
"PDD"="CotullaTouch.dll"
My question is : how can i edit registry without using my phone screen.
I can : unlock screen, use voice recognisation to launch any installed app, remotely install app (i'm prelly sure)
3 solutions are coming up to my mind:
1 Find a desktop app that allows to edit plugged phone's registry
2 Remotely control my phone ( with a computer, use mouse to change the values with WP7 root tool)
3 (less imaginable) créate an Xap that changes this specific value. I will still be able to install it remotely and to launch it with the voice recognisation.
Can only think of thoses two solution. Its the only solutions i found

You have the ability to edit the registry from your PC, you will need to follow these steps:
1 - Download and install the registry editor for the PC:
http://www.torchsoft.com/en/download.html
2 - Connect your Windows Phone to the PC.
3 - Start the Zune software and synchronized with the device.
4 - boot registry editor
5 - Then we click on "File / Connect to a portable device Cams"
6 - Usually the device is already connected to the registry editor
7 - Once you have synced the device with the editor, please edit the required record
PS: Sorry for my bad English

The third option is also actually really easy, though you'll need to deploy the app as an update to an already-trusted app (unless you're using a custom ROM that trusts all app by default).

Thank you, it works (didn't work with the last 4.6.2 version of Registry Workshop, i use the 2.x available here http://www.torchsoft.com/node/5)
Ok i was able to change the registry values from PC, greaaaat step. But i got it wrong, it's not the right value or not all the values i had to set back. I need someone with an Omnia 7 to tell me all the values he has in :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch
I'm already trying to reach LEO ADVANCED's author so see wich ones are modified when we use his app.
Thanks a lot elpinta25

the problem is that i can't create apps. i'm not a developper
If someone knows any Omnia7 owner, i just need to know what is the value of
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch] "PDD"
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Touch] "DLL"

It is
"DLL"="TouchMDD.dll"
"PDD"="atmel_pdd.dll"

worked perfectly except i had to try multiple times to edit the registry. It didn't work the first time, did several reboot to find the old value still there (PC/mobile sync problem, don't really know)
but it was the right value to change : "atmel_pdd.dll" and the right way to do it. Thank you titi, gooddaytodie and elpinta
