Dear XDA friends :laugh:today I make available an guide to align/calibrate the touch screen with more than just 4 points.
The benefit of aligning the screen with more than just more than 4 points is that the touch screen will be more acurate
when there is an touch input.
After much frustration of my 22" touch panel not registering my touch inputs the way it should I've spend weeks to search the internet
for an solution to this problem.
And the problem lies in the fact that microsofts calibration tool offers too few calibration points (4 or a few more for pen input).
This guide also applies to pen inputs but when using a pen you should keep in mind that the first point you touch while calibrating has to be with the pen.
Before starting off you should make an windows restore point. okay lets get it started.
1) Go to the control panel and open tablet pc settings.
2) Hit reset.
3) Open command prompt CMD as administrator.
4) Choose one of the following options: 4a,4b or 4c:
4a) As mine touchscreen is 22" 1680x1050 I calculated the folowing line to get 150 calibration touch points:
tabcal lincal novalidate XGridPts=5,117,229,341,453,565,667,789,901,1013,1125,1237,1349,1461,1537,1675 YGridPts=5,109,213,317,421,525,629,733,837,941,1045
Copy and paste this line above into the command prompt and hit enter than proceed to step 5.
4b) If your screen resolution is 1280x800 and you want 36 calibration see the following line:
tabcal lincal novalidate XGridPts=5,259,513,767,1021,1275 YGridPts=5,163,321,479,637,795
Copy and paste this line above into the command prompt and hit enter than proceed to step 5.
4c) If you have a different screen resolution than the ones above than calculate the best entries for your screen:
lets say you want 36 calibration points for your 1280x720 screen reslotution.
than do the folowing for the XGridPts: 1280-10= 1270
Now we make sure that we start of at XGridPts=5 and the last XGridPts=1275
that leaves us with 1270 Pts lets divide it by 5 > 1270/5= 254
So the steps will be 254Pts
As our first XGridPts=5 we keep adding 254Pts until we get around 1275Pts
So 5Pts+254Pts=259Pts and that will be our second Pts
The result will be: XGridPts=5,259,513,767,1021,1275
Next will be our YGrid:
720-10=710
Now we make sure that we start of at YGridPts=5 and the last YGridPts=715
that leaves us with 710 Pts lets divide it by 5 > 710/5= 142
So the steps will be 142Pts
As our first YGridPts=5 we keep adding 142Pts until we get around 715Pts
So 5Pts+142Pts=147Pts and that will be our second Pts
The result will be: YGridPts=5,147,289,431,573,715
So now we have succesfuly calculated the x and y grid:
XGridPts=5,259,513,767,1021,1275 YGridPts=5,147,289,431,573,715
Copy and paste this line above into the command prompt and hit enter than proceed to step 5.
5) If al goes wel you should now be presented with an calibration window with more than 4 points hit all the points and your touchscreen should be
beter to use in older applications.
if you get any syntax error make sure there are no spaces in the numbers while copy and pasting.
6) If you get an pop up message when using 4a 4b or 4c saying that there already are calibrations settings entered and that you should go
to the tablet pc settings and hit reset you should do the following:
*Go to Control Panel>Device manager
*In Device Manager, locate the device you want to remove/reset, and then double-click the device name.
*Click the Driver tab, and then click uninstall and disconnect the device from computer and restart.
Now when you reconnect the device after the restart it should reinstall the default driver settings.
Of course you should use these settings at your own risk but it shouldnt be a problem if you made an restore point.
As an result my touchscreen works 100% in every part of the screen.
If you have used this guide please let me know your results and dont forget my thanks meter .

No offense, but I don't think anyone is going to try this. Seems far too complicated.
Well I'm not so sure about that.. Beacause the moment your touch input is way of from the point that you touched you will be frustrated with a useless screen. thats when this thread will be a handy guide.
And also I do believe people are appriciating this thread because my thanks meter is climbing slowly .
Frustrating... WACOM...
So I've tried this on my series 7 slate but am having no joy...
I've tried this with default windows drivers as well as the wacom drivers and each case the results are still inconsistent.
Also settings defined in portrait adversely affect settings defined in landsacpe and vice versa...
It's quite frustrating as I need this thing for note taking...
I am actively looking into this and will share any findings with the you all.

Maybe you should try to calculate more than 36 touch points..
Also check and see what happen if you delete all drivers and use the windows default drivers.
Please let us know your findings.
Front Paged :good:
This is far too complicated...... how do you set it up for 1920x1680 ??

1920 gives you: starting point 5 and ending point 1915.
Than you do 1915 - 10 = 1910
divide 1910 by 5 -> 1910/5= 382
so your starting Xgrid point is 5.
second = 5+382=387
next 387+382=769
next 769+382=1151
next = 1151+382=1533
next = 1533+382=1915
Yeah all went well so or Xgrid will be:
XGridPts=5,387,769,1151,1533,1915
Now you do the same for the Ygrid.
start off by doing 1680-10=1670
than divide 1670 by 5= 1670/5=334
Good luck..!!:good:
Hey! This is absolutely great!
I came here looking for a method to increase calibration for my HP 2740p Tablet PC! I have successfully used your calibration data and so far it seems a lot more consistent! It used to 'drift' a lot in the middle of the screen, with the edges being alright.. Will this need to be calibrated if I rotate the screen? I'll have to reverse the X and Y values first though, but is it necessary?
Thanks for this awesome tutorial,
Regards Giles

I'm pleased that it helped you out.. i would say just experiment with it.. and dont forget my thanks meter..
There's no necessity for calculating the grid points, any grid point you give to the device, it brings it up for you in the calibration process.
Anyway, this is a great tweak, but it does not work on my ThinkPad Tablet 2. Not even with admin permission. It brings up the calculation routine with added grid points ( I tried with even 120 points ), but in the end, nothing happens, no change in accuracy at all.
What i would suggest to make this even user friendly is do the lines for the common screen resolutions like 1366x768 , 1920x1080 etc. We all know the majority of people are lazy so if you can make it copy and paste etc it'll be even more popular.
Very Useful
I found this immensely helpful. Thanks very much. I used the utility to solve the calibration on a Dell Latitude 10 - which has a wonky native screen resolution of 1366 x768. I created a batchfile and set it with admin priv and it's great. In the process of evaluating 8.1 preview the touch screen calibration got way off. It was always a little exciting because where you touched it and what happened next were not really related.
Thanks again.

I actually have the same resolution. Would you happen to still have that batch file?
Was this not done a while back, people saying its complicated, really, the other thread had people doing it over 273 (iirc) touch points and that thread was huge and the thanks were coming in left and right..

My wife and I just got the T-Mobile Dash (s620, Excalibur, among other names) and we like it. However, we still have the following issues.
Can't turn off the backlight. (I think your right, I can deal with this.)
Backlight doesn't come on all the way in bright sunlight. (same here)
Can't find a slim, inward facing, plastic belt holster? (still looking)
Speed dial list isn't easy to get to (mapped to 2 - OK for now but would rather put this on my wife's Today Screen).
The 'touch' volume mechanism is silly. (will try setjogbar-free to begin using it as scroll instead, thanks caramelzappa and phonealarm -not free for vol ctrl, thx sergiopi)
Can't I just set the phone volume to as high as possible by default while I am on the phone and perhaps set hard buttons to control this? (thx again)
Can't modify the today screen. (still no great solution here)
Can't create Excel files. (will try Modaco-free but can't find it, thx sergiopi or Documents To Go-not free)
Can't set more than one alarm. (will try phonealarm not free, thx sergiopi)
Unlocking the keypad (press unlock > then *) is a bit of a nuisance. (I'm surviving)
Internet costs $20.00 - this is a rippoff, even at $6.00! (turning tzones into full internet access from the instructions found here.
Any assistance with some of these items would be greatly appreciated.

1) Why? just in settings>power management choose the backlight time out!
2) If you live in Antarctica during the summer this could be a big problem!
3) just drop it in yout pocket, is strong enought!
4) ???? Set it then press the number you sat for a couple of seconds... done
5,6, 9) I agree, I use phonealarm, it does the job an much more!
7) This is your fault, not excalibur's fault, Home screen is fully easy XML and there are hundreds home screen already done for landscape WM smartphones on the net
8) Modaco has the freeware solution to create word and excel files on the dash-excalibur
10) IMHO I fount it safe and easy
and remember GOOGLE IS THE BEST n00b's friend!
1) Why would you need to turn it off manually? You can set it to after a while, or you can hold the end call button and just lock the phone.
2)Why do you need the backlight in the sunlight?
3)Save yourself the humiliation and put your phone in your pocket.
4)Holding down a button is difficult? Seems the same as speed dial as any other phone.
4)Search for setjogbar, makes the touch pad much more useful.
5)Just set it to the highest volume and don't mess with it anymore. If you install setjogbar you can make it so it only controls volume in call, and works as a quick launch/scroll strip otherwise.
6)Search for homescreens. There are plenty available, caurasal is a nice one that last time I checked is on the front page of this forum.
7)There are programs that are available. Remember, it's windows mobile, and it relies on programs to do things the same way as windows does.
8)I don't know about your alarm problem, I don't use them.
9)How is the unlock sequence different than any other phone? A soft key and then * is pretty common for unlocking phones. The only difference perhaps is that the dash has smaller keys than most, but you get used to them quickly.
and btw, just because I can...its called an S620....not a 630, thats the uber cancelled HTC Cavilier...so HA!!

you could also update your ROM to WM6, you could then use Office Mobile...which lets you create docs, excels, whatever on your device.....and also, you can goto www.madbeetle.com, they offer a free homescreen makeing application that lets you make a homescreen(today screen aka) from scratch using a nice GUI...that may help you a little..

Ash, thanks. I'll try madbeetle and and see how that works. Documents to Go won't as I can't find the crack for it. I am using WM6 and just went back into the Excel it comes with and can't figure out how to do a new Excel doc. Perhaps I am missing something?
Yeah, what you need to do, is first make an excel document on your computer...name is like blank.xml or somethin, whatever you want, and leave it blank, then on your Dash...open Excel Mobile and select your Excel doc, then click on Menu, the Save As, then rename it to something else, and it will create you a new file with that name, in addition to the one that you already had. Not real elegant, but it works with the software that you already have...no cracks or anything required!

If the S630 is cancelled? Why do I have it on my desk as we speak?
Very limited release my friend, HTC sent *some* out, but then decided to work on different products such as the Touch 2 and crap instead of focusing on another smartphone...go figure, since the S620 is like their best selling WM smartphone ever.....

hi have WM6 ROM 1.33 without Office Mobile 6. I then installed Office Mobile 6 found in one of the thread, and tried to create a doc, but i don't think it would let u. can u walk me through how to do it ash, thanks a bunch (sorry 4 my noobie)
Sure, it's not elegant, but it gets the job done. What you need to do is first using your desktop PC, make a Word, Excel, Powerpoint file etc, and name it something like NEW DOC MAKER or the like and leave it blank. Then, transfer it to your device. Now open up whichever program you created it for(Word, Excel, PP etc) and wait for it too load. Once its loaded, press MENU, then select SAVE AS....and name it something else..like FOODZ or the like and hit SAVE. It will then create a new blank document called what you just specified in the same directory or folder as the original document. Hope this helps!

I found the freeware Schedy Mobile for creating multiple alarms with your own sound and display messages, check it out HERE
First off this would not be possible without the work of many devs in many places. Some of the builds that have really helped get this done:
The base build I started with:
[Android] Eclair 2.1 by mssmison
Builds/Devs that helped me get this far:
polymod 2.1 alpha 4 by polyrhythmic that is itself is based on openeclair 1.1.5
dzo, wesgarner, ctso, many more who have contributed to openeclair
Please try both of these and My build and post your results, I want to know what works and what doesn't. It also will help to know what works better on whose build.
Here it is folks Android running from NAND on your kaiser/tilt!
What works:
WIFI - you no longer need a calibration file from Windows Mobile.
GPS
Phone
Sleep
Battery - See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5695425&postcount=126
What doesn't:
Bluetooth? I have random results still
Camera
Youtube
Jbed - read thread for working install and instructions
I am in no way liable for whatever may happen to you or your phone!
This will erase/replace windows mobile.
How to get it:
Step one:
If you do not have the latest nbh get dzo's from here:
http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/files/?C=M;O=D
or vilord's
http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidhtc/files/
and flash it to your phone.
Step two:
Perform a hard reset on the phone, then remove the battery.
Step three:
Download my package and place the androidinstall.tar in the andboot folder on the root of your sd card.
Old link for reference only -Version 1.0
Old link for reference only -Version 1.1 Update Patch
Pre-Patched Version 1.1
Place your sd card in your phone put the battery back in and power it on.
Watch the screen and once it tells you to press and hold the D-Pad center button (do it fast!).
Choose the install option and answer "Yes" when it asks to clear your data.
Step four:
Choose quit and wait for the big green android!
If you get a second google account setup screen after entering your info once just hit the home button or reboot.
*notes*
Starting wifi during the initial setup works but the setup app FC's and goes back to the start wifi screen. The wifi actually does start but you cannot choose a network until you complete setup.
You must have a sd card to boot (not with vilord's kernel)
LCD density is set to 160 as I believe with a 320x480 nbh yields the best usability and market selection.
I the screen flips the wrong way instead of going back to portrait mode open "spare parts" and uncheck "launcher rotation"
(you can also go to Settings "Sound and Display" and uncheck Orientation")
(Works on polaris and vogue as well)

Typo in your link, looks like it's missing the "h" at the beginning (thanks to your sig for the clue haha). I'm downloading it now, going to try it out and report back with the results.

Thanks got it fixed, let me know how it goes.
Just got it setup, some things I've noticed so far:
Setup Wizard got stuck in an infinite loop right after setting up my Google Account. It signed me in, started syncing just fine, but the next screen asked me to setup a Google Account again. Signing in led me to another Google Account setup page. A reboot fixes this though.
Might want to note that your build.prop has the lcd.density set to 160, most NAND builds I've ran have had it set to 120 or 113 or had a choice.
So far it's been a lot faster than other Eclair builds I've tried! Awesome work!

I don't normally have a sim in until after I get it setup and tested so I just skip the initial setup so i must have missed that.
How does the speed of this build compare to polyrhythmic's? I tried that and unfortunately it was unbearably slow even off NAND. I guess it's back to WinMo for a little while

I may be a little biased but I would use this as my only phone, comparable to openeclair on my mytouch without the swap turned on.
screen rotation
I the screen flips the wrong way instead of going back to portrait mode do this:
open "spare parts" uncheck "launcher rotation"

Sorry, that would be a no for right now. Anybody got any tips? I'll update the 1st post.
Which nbh to use?
Ho do I know which .nbh file to use? There are so many of them.
For instance:
kaisimg-panel2-320-15-02-10.nbh
kaisimg-panel1-320-tilt-15-02-10.nbhWhat is the difference between the two?
What does the following stand for:
The panel2 and panel1
320 or 480
You get the picture... Basically - how do I know which one fits my device?
Thanks,
Eran

#1 check a default.txt that you used in the past to see what your panel type is, nobody can tell you what you have. I have a tilt and use panel 2. You may need to pick one and try, if the colors are messed up, try another
#2 the 320 is a resolution of 240X320 and the 480 is a resolution of 320X480
I always use the 320X480; then edit the /system/build.prop file to make the lcd.density 160; makes it close to 240X320 but you get all of the market apps
@ slm4996 any chance of getting this as a HaRET compatable? I have some programs that require I have windows, so I can't NAND now; and I would like to try this one out
INT Maps Navigation
I check your tar and i notice tha inside app folder there isn't Google Maps, Nav launcher and so on, it's possible to add it manually, importing the right apks inside the folder, and if it's possible where i can find the apks?
P.s. Your old build is great, as soon as my phone return from repairing, I will be glad to try this new baby...
Can I run this build from SD card?

Give me about 15 minutes for a test version to upload and then:
http://homecncfun.com/android/KaiserDroid-1.0-haret.zip
new version
http://homecncfun.com/android/KaiserDroid-1.1-haret.zip
Please test both.
Please note that you will have to do a install the first time you run haret so be sure to watch for the prompt to hold D-pad center.

Unless you are across the big pond google maps should install from the Market. Navstarter I can look into.
Inclusion/removal of apps?
Should I add or remove any apps out of the default build?
So far we have requests for:
Google maps
Navstarter
I'm not sure how I feel about including maps since it can be downloaded from the Market on this build...

My intention is to have the modiefied version of Google Maps with Nav launcher, 'cause I'm from Italy and in Europe Google Maps don't have the navigation enabled, we must use maps4.0.0-brut4.apk to enable it.
I have tried to put it insiede your old build but without success, it doesn't let me install the needed file to get it working, maybe i forget to put something else needed...i'll try with the new one as soon as possible....
The files that i'm writing about are inside OptionalApps pack of last poly builds...
Location Aware is an automatic volume profile switcher.
This application works out of the data received from GSM signals.(NO CDMA)
so almost all windows mobile devices can use it.I developed it on my elf and it seems it is working
Requires GSM network, Windows Mobile , .Net CF 3.5
1. Battery Friendly, No active background process.
2. No GPS needed.
3. User configurable interval to check for location.
4. Can save settings automatically v0.3
Well it works like this: (May change per version)
1. Install it.
2. Open the Location Aware(from programs)
3. When ever you start the app it will vibrate the device 2 times and then asks "Add this Location".
4. Click OK and it prompts to save the volume level for this location and save.
5. Adjust the volume level as you desire from the Slider on right hand side of screen.
6. Then goto Menu and Save Location Mode, this should save the setting for this location(Prompt will be displayed).
7. Now you can let the application run itself every X mins to check for new location and prompt you whenever a new location is found.
8. To set the interval time goto Menu -> "Stopped" this should open up a panel to enter the interval time, fill it and click set. "Stopped" should be changed to "Running". Now you can Exit.
9. If prompt is not dismissed or OKayed within 1 min(Automode). It dismisses itself and will prompt again if new location is found after next X mins.
10. The limit for interval is 2-60 mins, that means the app will run itself after every X mins and check for location, if a new location is found it vibrates
and then asks you to save this location or not, in case you dont respond to it, it will close itself after 1 min.
and in case the location was already saved it will automatically apply the volume profile.
Basically as you keep on using it the database keeps on growing and in parallel profile settings gets more customized.
PS: You may notice that the taskbar volume indicator is not changed, but that is normal. The volume setting is still applied as per your choice this issue is fixed in v0.3
V0.2
1. No alert popup will be displayed to inform select n save the location.
2. Save the location mode directly by clicking the volume level image.
v0.3
1. Reflect the volume level changes in the taskbar volume icon
2. New mode added "AutoSave", enabling it makes the app save new location automatically with the last volume preference, whenever a new location is found.
PS. AutoSave mode works in Scheduled mode, if you have set the app to run after a scheduled interval with autosave mode enabled and it detects a new location it will prompt a message-box, if you don't give it a response i.e ignore it, it will add the location automatically after 1 min and will dismiss itself.
for users of previous versions:
It will use the already existing database of location settings, just install it over the previous version.
PCBuddy
This app is used to plot all the collected points by the location aware app on google maps.
Unzip the files and then copy the locations.db file from your device to the same folder on your system. Once the file has been copied Run CreateMap.exe this should generate a html file in the same folder. Run that and see for yourself
Please replace the dll in PCBuddy with the one in 64Bit.zip in case you are using a 64Bit Windows
Suggested setting:
For the first time I suggest to keep the interval at around 5 mins so that it can grab almost all the desired locations. once you feel it is having settings for your daily use u may turn the interval to a higher(suggested 15 mins) so that it can apply the volume settings for the known locations.
SUPPORT LATE NIGHTS- DONATE!
No comments???
Great idea !
By using GSM signal to get your position you avoid to use the gps which take more time to get position + a little battery consumption.
We certainly can find a lot of functions linked to this automatic profile/location system
I will try your app

Great Concept!!!!
Just saw your P.S. that the volume icon will not change accordingly...but it works as intended. (Please Fix) Is there a radius on the set locations? I work across the street from our main mall, is why I ask.
I love this concept as I saw the other O.S. had a similar app. (Sweet Dreams)

Hi djyosnow,
understood your concerns about the radius thing but thaz not in myhands as that thing is dependent on lot of factors like, your disance from tower, signal strength etc. But still you may experiment if you get new location alert in case you are at your office.
n yes this is really nice ~PLUR~

Very good application, specially like me who travel a lot from office to client to mall and to our factory

v0.2 Out
Some modification in GUI and user interaction
Re mohitsapru,
i tested your app on my HD, it worked well
I have one suggestion to ease the way we can use it, an option like 'Save the actual sound profile automatically when a new unknown position is found'
Then we can move without thinking about it but it will be good as an enabled/disabled option.
Good job !

Does this app able to detect the change of location if the device switched off(suspended) by power button?
For example:
1. Save volume setting at location A and location B
2. At location A, press power button to turn off the device
3. Move the device from location A to location B
4. Will the volume be changed automatically (without turning on the device) at location B?

I have run it on my Samsung I900 Omnia and i think it works perfect.
But here some ideas:
It would be great if you can add 2 or more cells to 1 location (Because i have here to cells at home, and if I use UMTS 3G i had another one)
If you write the cell id a little bit greater.
And expert mode were you add name for cells (i see this wish earlier here, too), and can add more things.

Hi Dtrieb,
Thanks for trying it out.
Well i will think about the other two options/suggestions but i am not able to get what you meant by the first suggestion Which 2 cells are you referring to?
Some of you may have seen it on youtube/google/tech-sites, but i just wanted to show you guys how to disable this new "Metro", to be able to see the original "taskbar" as seen in Windows 7 (so you don't need to put effort into finding how to disable it)
Its as simple as making a Registry (regedit.exe) change.
This hack need's to be performed on each user (if u have multiple users under Win8), due the "HKEY" is "Current user".
Method 1:
Manual set:
Start "regedit.exe"
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
- Set RPEnabled to "dword" value "0" (zero)
Method 2:
Auto set (DISABLE Metro) (save as ".reg" file):
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"RPEnabled"=dword:0
Auto set (ENABLE (default)):
Code:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"RPEnabled"=dword:1
Method 3:
CMD set (DISABLE Metro):
Code:
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /f /v RPEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0
CMD set (ENABLE (default)):
Code:
reg add HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer /f /v RPEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 1
Method 4: (as ref posted by agnard):
>Administrator mode needed
CMD set (DISABLE Metro):
Code:
ren \Windows\System32\shsxs.dll shsxs_disable.dll
CMD set (ENABLE (default)):
Code:
ren \Windows\System32\shsxs_disable.dll shsxs.dll
> Last but not least, restart Win8.
- Oh, and i almost forgot: FIRST THREAD @ dev & hack!!
lol
But why? it's freaking sexy
btw isn't there an executable you can rename in /system32 to disable Metro?
Sexy if you use a tablet, otherwise I think it is useless
Thanks. BTW - the file should be saved as .reg not .bat
i personally like the new metro ui. i hated win8 at first but once i got the hang of it and learned how everything works... lets just say i formatted my hard drive and this is now my daily driver. i havent had any issues. everything works.
I don't really get why there is no normal setting to use the original taskbar layout as default. Working with the metro interface on a 27" desktop pc just feels as unnatural as using media center...
I dont see what you're doing here... there's a normal taskbar in win8 without doing any crazy reg hacks. just click on the desktop tile on the start page.
as far as I can see so far, metro ui is only there to replace the start menu, and some system programs (like control panel, etc.)
Sorry, but I just don't see it becoming popular in corporate environments and on desktops. It's the best interface I've ever seen on tablets though.

TOTALLY agree. though i dont know how much of real dev work will take place. Just a bit skeptical
Well this is a developer preview so developers can build their new metro apps.
This isn't meant to be used in offices as a primary productive system. The Metro UI might very well be disableable (is that even a word?) in the RTM.

You need this hack to get the windows 7 start button to work like it should so you can quickly navigate your applications, otherwise the start button takes you back to the tile...and right now tiles are basically useless clumsy clutter links to applications...
and why can't you use the mouse to grab and move the tile screen is beyond me..you are forced to use the slide at the bottom of the screen

Noticed this too. I know its a developer preview, but really m$? No dragging?
the twitter app on mines is not working. does anyone else have this problem? and is there a fix for this?
I think that having the metro UI in the current user is a great thing. That way for personal use you can have the metro UI but when you need mote business oriented use you've got a user profile set with the hack to disable it.
I think its a great preview and I really like it so far. Loving the no new drivers needed thing, unlike my last run'ins with windows x64 dev builds
A easy way to disable the new UI is to change a file in system32 folder:
give the file shsxs.dll in system32 a new name, like shsxs.bac.dll, and restart win8

You actually don't need this hack for the feature you are describing.
If you press Start (or are already in the Metro UI), you can just begin typing and you will get a list of apps/settings as you would in the 'old' Start-menu.
Thanks it's great.
nothing like "hacking" the OS instead of learning how to use it properly lol
first of all , I want to thank DFT/Cotulla/mwang for making and bringing custom rom's to our phones.
Why I start this thread:
Because there are 3 rom threads and it will be a pain in the ass for mwang to look at all the threads to find what bug's there are in the samsung roms.
What I ask from you:
1) your phone model (omnia7/focus 1.3/1.4)
2) the bug
3) is the bug random or not (if not random please write what you did )
so please only post what I asked and nothing more , I want to keep this thread clean so that it is useble for DFT/mwang
and there is a thread for rainbow (the magldr) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22278269#post22278269
so if you have questions about that please go there.
Bug's so far:
1][HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlInt"=""
"PortalUrlProd"=""
the ^^ keys need to be like this in rom.
2] wifi sync not working.
3] HTC hub has no live tile
4] Diagapp can't be installed by dailing ##634#
5] "When I revive or make a call cellular data connection turns off and comes back a bit after ending the call.."
I didn't see this bug on my omnia7 but is a point to investigate.
6] the banding color bug.. My phone is still displays 16 bit.. ???
7] [focus 1.3] Battery recently started showing it had 1% remaining, has been on the charger for over an hour and still shows 1% remaining. However that 1% lasted all day

1) I have a Omnia 7
First bug fixed, removed the activation checking URLs (see the next few posts)
2) I cannot launch/debug apps from my pc, tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22308741 and it did not help. I like to do some deving with visual studio, but without debugging it's useless.
3) The bug happens all the time when trying to debug with VS or deploy and launch apps with Phone7Market.
EDIT: Another bug found:
Transparent lock screen images act really weirdly on my Omnia. Same bug on all transparent lock screens, but currently using this: http://phone7.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/earth11.png (From http://www.transparentwallpaper.net/all.html ). When I touch it and move it a little bit, everything is back normal, but when I release it the same bug happens.
Image proof attached.
I can't install Diagnosis on my Omnia 7 and Advanced Configuration Tool don't work
EDIT:Advanced Configuration Toll it's my problem
EDIT: I solved thanks a @contable....now i have Diagnosis version 0628 in my Omnia 7....read here:

So you have launched Zune before doing this:
7. Keep your phone unlocked
7.1 Install registry editor
As you can read above your device will be locked if you connect it again (Zune will identify your phone and lock it again). To prevent this we've to edit an entry of the phone registry:
First of all we need a registry editor for Windows Phone 7. Well, there's not a uniform way to edit registry on all devices (HTC, Samsung, ...), yet. So you have to search a registry editor which enables full registry access on your device. [I'll update this with some suggestions soon!] Then you've to open Start > All Programs > Windows Phone Developer Tools > Application Deployment on your computer. Select the downloaded .xap file (Registry Editor) and click on Deploy. Wait until the process is finished. Now disconnect your phone from the computer.
7.2 Modify the registry
Now open the Registry Editor on your phone. Now navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Microsoft > DeviceReg.
Now scroll to PortalUrlInt, remove its value data and save it. Do the same with PortalUrlProd. Both entries should now be "empty" (but not deleted!).

That was the same as happened to mee i could install every app from bazaar how often i wanted to,but after first connection to zune everything didn´t work after doing it right that instruction i hadn´t the problem and from now it has the same as my omnia7 had before with interopunlock only now plus advantages from fully unlock
sample:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg]
"PortalUrlInt"=""
"PortalUrlProd"=""
Omnia 7
When I revive or make a call cellular data connection turns off and comes back a bit after ending the call..
And the relocking when connected to Zune but that's easy to fix via registry..
Focus 1.3
can't launch installed apps after deploying from PC as posted above.
workaround for Diagnosis app is to sideload it.
1. Omnia 7
2. Can you fix the banding color bug.. My phone is still displays 16 bit..
Focus 1.3
Sometimes I am unable to connect to internet over network.
Sometimes Marketplace wont let me search/dl anything. (Says live-id error)
Battery recently started showing it had 1% remaining, has been on the charger for over an hour and still shows 1% remaining. However that 1% lasted all day.
I think this may help narrow things down a bit:
1) Focus 1.3
2) Using low level samsung specific drivers results in errors/nothing.
3) Lets see:

When I unplugged my phone during boot, then plug it back in, random things happen like it saying I have 1%, or its charging when its not and random errors saying problem with sdcard that dissappear, but I dont have an sd card in.

thats strange
I can access windows dir with root tools 0.8, WPDM and also can overwrite ROM files
no errors so far
maybe your phone got relocked when connected to Zune
first post updated.
first post updated with a sum of bug's
please post more if you can find them , its always good for mwang to have a list , remember that he makes rom's for lots of phones and he can't test them all.
we are there to test (see us all as beta testers ) the more we post the better mwang can make the rom's.
Greetings Cees Heim.
I think the most bugs with unlocks and deployments are caused by not clear storage and Zune relocking.
Only bugs that I have are unable to launch app from PC with wf phone tools or WPDM
Diagapp bug and color banding bug, but I think color banding is more Super AMOLED display based, rather then system

Diagapp bug and color banding bug, but I think color banding is more Super AMOLED display based, rather then system

I didn't have the banding bug before NoDo update. It is a disaster - videos became unwatchable because of it..
But the banding dissapears when I zoom in a picture :S
I noticed same prob with transparent pic´s so please give help to make it work correctly

When I apply 32bit color fix w Advanced config tool or manually , result is the same no good. so it was in 32 bit mode before NoDo? even with SUPER AMOLED screens? as my friends Samsung Captivate , that has the same screen as my focus does have banding issue too on his 2.3 android, but it look much better then mine

Yes the result is the same.....or maybe I just do not see....but look my screen capture.....first 16-bit.....second 32-bit
And i can see that the value change in WP7 Root Tools
I had this in my first post, but you might not have noticed it:
Transparent lock screen images act really weirdly on my Omnia 7. Same bug on all transparent lock screens, but currently using this: http://phone7.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/earth11.png (From http://www.transparentwallpaper.net/all.html ). When I touch it and move it a little bit, everything is back to normal, but when I release it the same bug happens.
Image proof attached in my first post in this thread.

this is the common MANGO problem. Custom ROM has nothing to do with that. since MANGO we have this issue. or maybe Custom DFT ROM-s for HTC devices have this problems fixed? anyone can confirm that?
Found resolution to the issue of the battery saying its at 1% when it's not. I didn't want to reformat my sd card, the issue happened a little after I had put it back in. Didn't think of the correlation until earlier. Pulled the SD card out, and the battery meter shows 90% which is around where it should be right now.
