In WM5 there was a registry entry that determined the sensitivity of the touchscreen. I found it useful to increase the sensitivity since I use a screen protector.
Now I'm using WM6, and that registry key doesn't exist. Anybody have a clue how it can be done?
Would be interested in this too

What he said ^^^
any one care to share if u know this...i find the touch sensitivity is not very good...i always have to press twice to get it right
I always thought that this was a big problem in porting the TouchFLO things to the Hermes, because the hermes doesnt have a pressure-sensitive Touch Screen?
but hell, prove me wrong

What is the tweak for WM5? Can you share it with us?
I have not heared about it before.
I also need it as I use screen protector too.
Thanks and regards
Isn't the sensitivity adjusted when you do the screen alignment in Settings -> System -> Screen according to your pressure?

HKLM/SOFTWARE/Drivers/Touch
Inside there is a key named 'Pressure Threshold' which you can modify (remember ONLY to increase it, decreasing it may result a non responding touchscreen)

Go to HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/Pressure Threshold (Tested on HTC Touch)
I changed from 11000 to 12000 for testing and I feel some sensitivity icrease. I thought a lower figure would rather increase it because it is a threashold? Others should test and give feed back
i tried to look for this and cant find touchpanel, any ideas??

I do not have this on the Offical Release there is no HKLM/DRIVERS/Touch

yup no touchpanel on this so bit stumped here

KEYWORD THERE: TESTED ON HTC TOUCH
The Touch has a different Touchscreen than the TyTN ALLOWING for Pressure Sensitivity.
The Hermes has no such screen, its either touched, or not.
not touched at what pressure
sorryy
my default value is decimal 9175....how come ur is so high 11000??anyway i changed mine to 12000 also...i dont feel any difference at all on my touch...sad

Anyone know if this is true?
if this dos not exist in the hermes registry then why is it in the hermes forum? this is more than confusing. I don't understand why people with the HTC Touch/Elf are posting there results here. maybe it came up on a search and they didn't relize this was the hermes forum? in any case MODS should move this if there is nothing relivant to the hermes.

AND TADAAAA !!!..........Instantly Turbo Charged Your HTC UNIVERSAL!.........Amazing. actualy when you rotate your screen.
for info.. im using the last WWE T-mobile NL ROM with Radio 1.09
I beleive all it does in increase font cache from 0 to 16K
Please correct me if I'm wrong!!!

it is

and it works in any WM5
thanks for pointing it out, but i think it was discussed before somwhere in the board
It does indeed have a positive effect when flipping the screen. I guess the time for the device to rotate its screen orientation has been halved, not bad. Thanks.

This has been discussed here too which starts on page 4: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=31697&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=75
Personally I find it faster to use the 32000 setting than as suggested to lower it down to 16000. Plus if you have "SPB Pocket Tweaks", it is stated there that if you want faster refresh, use the 32000 setting. And to me the 32000 is definitely faster. So this boils down to which do you believe and how your device feels after the change. It is up to you guys to decide.
Hey,
Have been messing around with the Advanced Config Tool for a bit (http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html) and I saw an option for "Finger Pressure" now, its set at a "custom" level by default, but do you think that by altering that setting I might be able to make it so that I don't have to press hard on the screen to get a reaction, like (I'm sorry) the Iphone?
Thanks in advance,
Nils
Edit:
I'm very hesitant to try it on my diamond because, well, I'm too protective of it
was wondering about this too. anybody has any idea about this..?
It's true.
But the best thing to do when you want the screen to respond when you touch it with a feather :
Re-allign your screen in 'Settings'
And when alligning, just VERY GENTLY apply force to the stylus, just press a LITTLE BIT HARDER just enough to make the cross move to the next spot.
It calibrates pressure to, I do that always when aligning.

is that only a feature the diamond has? or would that work on my herald too?
I really dont know
Ok guyzz:
Only Works for GSM Diamonds.
If you want a really sensitive screen do this:
In advanced config go to:
HTC Touch Flow:
Pressure Threshold set to: 1
Finger Pressure set to: 1
Forget about the gentle stylus push on alignment of screen.
Hope all goes well let me know how it goes!

wont that make it so we CANT touch the screen?

I tried this and couldn't feel a difference, that might be because I use Swift bl v7.5 which makes everything more sensitive to the touch anyway...
After i re-alligned the screen was the response a lot better then before. I use the Swift bl v7.0

In case you cant read...heres the link:

Download the 3.2 cab then connect your phone and transfer the cab file to your phone and install it.

Just to explain, I didn't realise that this was a seperate app. and therefore that was a link to it - was thinking it was something I simply needed to know how to access already onboard the Diamond.

I would like to know if there is a registry or app that turns off the keyboard backlight.
The idea is save battery life during the day or while reading a big text. I already use the Lowlight to reduce the light intensity but the keyb light many times is useless.
I already teste some regs mentioned for others phones but didn't work in the nrg rose (QKeybTimeout and QKeyb another thing...).
I noticed that the keyb light turns off while browsing a big email in the native wm mail. I think it's possible to find a reg monitoring this function, but i don't know about any wm 6.1 reg monitor like ceregspy for ppc.
thanks for the help
go to power management in settings and you can lower the time that it's lit up

here's something for ya, i've only tried this on my blackjack 1 though.
go to HKCU\ControlPanel\KeypadBacklight and change your registry settings to look like this.
EndTime...........0x0(0)

i'll make a cab, so if you don't like it you can uninstall it.

It's worth a try to create the reg, just been searchin and seems a common question on many phones that no one answers
haha well i have nothing going on at the moment, so i'll make a small effort to figure it out. no promises though people.
EDIT well after some searching i would like to think i've narrowed it down to the HTCUtil.dll and/or the keybddr.dll that controls how long the keypad lights are on. but i have no way of telling for sure, just a guess.
So anybody? make a cab that has a simple icon like light config, lets make it so all power on keyboard is off during the day.
or something. ?

Ive searched the forum but i am unable to find what i am looking, if its out there lol
I love the power of the backlight on my Touch HD, and i can change the brightness of the screen in the settings. But im trying to find if someone has created software that only changes the brightness in a quick program mode. it would be handy when im driving to just turn down the brightness so it does not put me off because going through the setting could be a little dangerous
if anyone knows of where i can get this software it would be handy.
thank you
Try SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 or SPB Phone, there will be quick widgets to adjust backlight, volume etc etc. Try to search with ready keys. or let me know, i will help you with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 keys. Good luck!
There is auto back light function of the WM depending of the ambient light condition. It is not clear from your explanation what exactly you would like to do with the brightness.
I don't know what it's called, but in the EnergyRom there is an "app" that allows you to control the backlight intensity, skinned din a very similar way to volume in the htc. I think that's what you're looking for.

You may just uninstall it. However it is not needed while sending under warranty because it is legal software which modifies no HTC/system things.
BTW: Anyone knows how to change lower backlight limit for autobacklight? I found backlight is still to bright at night.

Okay, so i've searched all over and i can't seems to find anyone else shared this tips before. My apology if i made a mistake on my searching though
So i picked this up from the X1 thread quite a while ago, can't remember who posted it first. This tweak should make your screen a lot more responsive and you dont need to press the screen hard the whole time to do stuff.
1. Get MS Compact Framework 3.5 Here
2. Get Schaaps Advance Config Tool Here
3. Scroll down to HTC TouchFLo
4. Change the pressure threshold to custom -> Click -> Change the value to 999999999 (nine 9s)
5. Change the finger pressure to 999999999 (nine 9s)
6. Done, soft reset.
Your screen should be (almost) as good as capacitive screen now (except for the multi touch of course)
cheers.
p.s All this was done in stock Touch Pro 2 ROM WWE Asia 1.19.707.2
What I do is go into a registry editor and go to
HKLM\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold =65000 (the higher, the more sensitive)
That's good enough for me! But for those who don't like the reg tweaks, it's good that you posted that.
yea, this is for those people who doesn't like dwelling into registry (my kind of people )
enjoy it folks

am curious of that myself. mine was set to 53 . i took the plunge and set it to 65 and noticed no ill effects so far
Decreasing the value is the way to go . I've got mine working with a value of 0 and screen responsiveness (particularly with on-screen keyboard) is tremendous! No more missed swipes and touches. In fact, the screen is showing up the slowness of the TP2 in certain applications (caches on-screen key presses where program eventually catches up with what you entered).

Weird I know, but I've been always told that closer to 0 is more sensitive.
So whats the verdict on if either increasing or decreasing the value increases sensitivity?
Also, I've never messed with my registry on a windows mobile device, and honestly my expirience with it on XP and earlier has been relatively minimal. Are there any toturials on how to open a reg editor in windows mobile? If I rememebr correctly on XP machines you go to start>run>conf

Don't be afraid of the registry! I use MobileRegistryEditor. You can edit the registry from your desktop with your phone plugged in via USB. Viewing the registry on a laptop screen vs. a phone IMO helps to eliminate mistakes and is much quicker.

well i tried both settings and i must say that decreasing it to 0 really did increase the sensitivity.
like i said earlier it is counter intuitive, but it is a noticable difference.

EDIT: its start > run > regedit
and the registry key is called "PressureThreshold"
Threshold means "the smallest detectable sensation"
so in fact, the closest the value to "0", the better (or at least that is what makes sense)
BTW, I do not have an HTC phone, nor Windows Mobile phone, .. but i am planing to buy Touch Pro2, so i read this topic, and felt like explaining the whole thing from an "English" point of view, Lol
cheers
wow, now im confused. I've only done the tweak via the advance config,never via registry. Can it be different?
Before i changed it the value of my pressure threshold was 60000 something, i cant remember, while finger pressure was 0. When i had my xperia,none if this value would shows 0. It seems that both of this value changes if you do the screen calibration thing.
oh and happy new years folks

It shouldn't make a difference, in the configuration i assume you have to touch the screen so the phone calibrate your threshold right?
so i assume you should touch it "lightly" so the phone recognizes your threshold as light, and eventually be more responsive.
EDIT: i have found this, it is related to Touch Pro, ... I dont know wither it applies to Touch Pro2 or not

As i said before, I am just talking common sense, nothing from real experience with the actual device as i do not own one, ... yet
happy holiday season!
is this a 6.5 or a 6.1 tweak?
because with 6.5 I discovered that GWE setting for touch it best set @1 rather than 0. this way the htc drivers are doing the work and not the ms...
as for the biotouch setting to zero, this would be turning the htc driver off and just using the ms driver.
(this is my assumption that the two different sets of drivers conflict)
its different? i did it on stock Touch Pro 2 6.1 ROM. Sorry about the missing info,i'll put it up on the first post.

I'm currently testing the "999999999" and it seems pretty sensitive. Will test on a couple more apps before trying th "0" input.

Is that in Decimal Value? Mine says 61

Sorry for the lack of info! Yes, it's in Decimal Value.

Well I found the registry tweak I posted (post2) from a different forum. I found that the stock ROM's settings had the decimal value at 15000. When I brought it up (as the instructions said the higher the better) to 65000, I noticed that screen sensitivity increased.
I'll try "0" later on.
As for the Advanced Config settings, the Pressure Threshold setting in Advanced Config controls the registry setting I posted in post2.
UPDATE: In HKLM\Drivers\Touch Panel\PressureThreshold, in the Decimal Value I tried "0" for 2 hours. I then switched to "100000" for 2 hours. IMO, "100000" was way more sensitive for me; "0" was very resisitive to my motions.
Hmmm ... I have mobile 6.5 wwe t-mobile tp2
Navigate to or search for:
HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold
and
HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure
If you wana test how mobile figures out how to set it ..
goto: settings / system / screen / align screen
and run the alignment test ..
If I PRESS REALLY HARD EVERYTIME I get ..
fingerpressure 22
pressurethreshold 48
If I PRESS REALLY SOFT EVERYTIME I get ..
fingerpressure 26
pressurethreshold 57
So ...
If I Set BOTH to 10 it should make it harder to push / scroll ???
and I Set BOTH to 100 it should make it easier to push / scroll ???
Because I change them and it doesnt really seem to make a difference
What do you guys get when you run the screen test and let mobile figure it out ?

I didn't do a screen test, but for the set both to 10/100:
Make a greater difference. Example: set both to 10. Then for comparison, set both to 10000. With the greater difference between 10 and 10000, you should see a greater difference in the behavior of the screen.
EDIT: I did the "test" for the screen.
Results (hard test):
Finger Pressure: 21
Pressure Threshold: 48
Results (soft test):
Finger Pressure: 24
Pressure Threshold: 54
So I guess, the higher the numbers, the more sensitive it would have to be?
