Hi all,
I got my TP2 a week ago. I bought it as a tiny laptop.
To be honest I rather had a TP2 and a magnifying glas with me than a netbook
I am absolutely willing to be only able to use the stylus. I need much information on the screen, not finger friendly buttons.
I needed to disable all that "finger friendly" **** that has been built into the device.
So far I did:
- Settings |Personal | Today Disable TouchFol3D
- Settings | System | Screen | Text-Size smallest
- install .Net-Framework (newest Generation)
- install HD-Tweak
- run HD-Tweak:
- all values to “advised”, except:
- 1.4 Disabled (= Speakerphone when phone FaceDown)
- 1.8 Std.
- 1.9 Vibrate
- 2.1 Enabled
- 2.2 Enabled
- 2.3 classic
- 3.4 Improve
- 11.1.-3. enabled, 11.6-11.7 3 MPx
- 13.1 Max Connections 16
- 13.2 HTC HD Orange
- 20.1 Keyb. Automatic Display – Disabled
But I still have:
- oversized start menu
- oversized menus
- non-working IExplore (a website displayed on my 240x320 Nokia N73 is much better displayed than on the TP2-IE)
- full screen volume control (instead of the small slider of WM5)
- full sized 'notifications' instead of WM5-bahavior (when you press the battery icon for instance)
How would I disable all that?
Thank you, Franky
P.S. menu fonts (and some other fonts) in RDP sessions are totally distorted. I solved that by installing and using the freeware zaDesktop (http://www.zatelnet.com/zadesktop/main.php).
Dude, why??
Exactly the same for me
I have exactly the same usage and the same f#@g displayed problems.
And more, there is something really anoying : I would have prefer select by one click and launch with another. Like on Nokia phones. When I scroll on history call, I really often call back... I tought i would have been changer but no. Is there a way to do that ?
Thanks
Customization Tools
I agree with Franky24. The TF3D is kinda annoying and I prefer to use the stylus instead of my finger. I am a fan of the HTC Home app because it seems to be more functional and easier to use. I forget where I found the one for the Rhodium but you can find it by searching for BigHTCHome.cab
These may also help you customize it the way you want:
To have smaller menus:
QuickMenu - A start menu replacement that looks similar to a Windows XP start menu. Find it here: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-quickmenu-v2-7.html
To change the notification bar to the old windows mobile style:
Open a registry editor and navigate to:
HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER\Flags
Change the value from 0 to 4
You will have to be more specific about the problem you are having with IExplore if you want anyone to be able help you with it.
I am still trying to get the old style volume control to work on my TP2 and will let you know the fix when I figure it out.
Hope this helps

Hi,
Interesting customization you have done.
Can you share with us a comparative in performance after uninstalling all "friendly" stuff please?
Thanks in advance,
Volume fix
Ok, so I found a thread here that changes the volume control to the original windows mobile controls. I tried it last night and it works. There is a cab attached to post # 7: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431588
I'd love to see some screens!
Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: HTC gave these phones lots of sensors, lets give them.."Sense".
......... EXTRA-Sense ...........
* Hopefully an innovaton, though mostly an integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Profiles:
- Set Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it - at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play sound + Blink the Back button's light.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate faintly + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes on UNTIL the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this. OR, use the UI to select whichever wave files you want!
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: ???
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that when the Light Sensor senses Dim or Dark conditions. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
5. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
3. Battery Impact: Neligeable if at all!
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and exercise your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + HTC device with GSensor & Light Sensor.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Diamond & Raphael, but will work fine on HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...
Release Notes:
- This is the LAST revision/release/app I make; programming too much work
- Download & Install the CAB
- Run the XSense from your Start Menu\Programs, customize to taste, and enjoy!
Change Log:
- Brand New UI: VERY "finger friendly" this should be especially useful if you have a WVGA Device
i.e. HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
- Revised entire code for existing & potential bugs, and Performance
tweaked to death.
- Removed various functions (auto speakerphone, car-kit options, etc...). Use "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" for these,
its handles Phone/Speaker brilliantly!
- Shortcut added to Startup for automatic launch after reboot.
- Shortcut with a nice icon added to Start Menu (Credit to VetVito).
- General Tab:
- Navi Button will only light up if the device is in a dark place, i.e. You will
always see where your phone is (before you trash it against the wall).
- Stylus Tab:
- UI elements to select & set sounds for Stylus-in/out events.

any screenshots?! Thanks
Super Cool App Thank you Dude now to REPORT
Only The function Suspend when i turn my device Up side down and the Stylus Sound In Out work perfect all other functions not working for me im using the ROM from my signature.
Also in HD Tweak i have option to enable to mute call when face is down but still not working
About the Lights they can`t flash because we don`t have buttons on our Blackstones
The Profiles sometimes work sometimes not work i mean when the face is down sometimes the phone is going to silent but from 10 times only once working ...
So i will use the Suspend Up side down and the sound for now
Thanks

Hey, sorry I just saw your post; This doesn't sound like a problem with the program.
Try Calibrating your G-Sensor, if that doesn't solve it, turn your phone off and remove the battery for 5 seconds then turn it on again... that should fix it
This is a perfect app it works perfectly for me on EnergyROM.
Many thanksss

Hi!
This is a simple display test tool which gives you the oportunity to test your LCD/OLED display. It is designed to allow full screen testing in ICS and Honeycomb devices by hiding the soft buttons.
Tests:
1.) Dead pixel test: detect "dead pixels" by displaying a series of solid background color pages
2.) Color tests: contrast, gradient (banding) and saturation tests
3.) Gamma calibration tests
4.) Viewing angle tests (This is useless for OLED displays)
For activate the soft key hiding in ICS/Honeycomb use the preferences menu.
Gestures:
* Slide left-right: change test image
* Slide up-down: change brightness
* Long touch: switch between full screen and normal screen (only Honeycomb & ICS)
Download it from the Google Play Store
Anybody try this?

Just did. And I'm happy to say my LTE GNex has no dead pixels. Do the two grey screens look dithered to anyone else? Is that an effect of the pentile screen?
I tried the app ... it is working as intended.
There is one typo on the last contrast test screen ... it is written "conrast"
v1.2 is on the market. Gamma calibration test added.
how do i read the gamma test to adjust my gamma levels?
Look at the gamma testing image, and take some bigger distance back from your GN's display such that you don't see the individual pixels/lines or squint your eyes. Now search for the vertical color bar which has the same lightness/darkness as the background color. If you found it, then just read the number written in that bar, and you have your GN's actual gamma value. It should be 2.2.
I don't think, you can change the gamma of the GN's display. Not with the stock kernel/system. (But I read about a sollution with a custom kernel and a custom app for that: Improve Screen Performance on the Galaxy Nexus.)
Upgraded to v1.3:
* Redesigned GUI
* Gamma test now works forr all kind of displays
* New LCD viewing angle test (pointless for OLED displays)
Very nice, thanks. My only difficulty is when the nav buttons are hidden it is very difficult to advance to the next screen. Maybe some use of a long press could make it easier?
Edit: after playing with it I got the hang of it a bit. First tap to make the buttons appear, then a quick swipe for the next screen before the buttons are covered again. Works for me now.
I can't download from the market it just hangs. Can you post the apk
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA Premium App
New version v1.4 is on the Play Store.
Latest changes:
* Sliding gesture for brightness change added
* Long touch on screen schanges full screen/normal screen on Honeycomb/ICS devices
* App can be moved to SD card (of course not on GN)

Hi Bro, when these features are coming to Honor 8 pro? in India. Looks so cool.
