Oh **** ... it didnt get in ....
sorry folk i forgot to zip it up before attaching.
there you go ...
btw ... i'm already using the hack ... no side effects at all ... just a more beautiful screen !!!!
Tis is how i got the numbers
16 bit = 64K = 65536 colors
1 bit = 65536/64 = 1024 colors
18 bit = 262K = 268288 colors (262 X 1024)
Does it work for Blue Angels
Re: Does it work on Blue Angels ?
The answer is "YES !"
I am using a Blue Angel with This Hack and I'm very happy about the result !!!
Try .... If u wanna revert just jot down the values so u can key them back in.
I never thot it was possible but by heaven's will I chanced upon the genius who discovered it .... i lost the link but lucky i saved it as mht. file.
Now i want u all Blue Angels out there to have the same beautiful screen i am enjoying !!!
Cheers Mates
One for all and all for One !!!
Danger !
Please don't try going above resolutions more than 18 Bit
Although it is possible to do it ... there's no guarantee that the hardware can support resolutions that high .... if your pixels start dying it's your own fault.
18 Bit is safe and good enough .... don't kill the screen by overdosing it !!!

Would someone be kind enough to post a guide on how to do this in their own words?
I've tried both apps suggested and also replaced the files but nothing seems to work.
ozVGA's files already exist in /windows and wont let me overwrite them, and when I start up SE_VGA it opens a dialog box without any text and when you close it the closes the app.

I agree with Biohead, instead of reading long info from the link on you rar file, why don't you just give us step by step how you make it worked on yours.
TX
here it goes .....
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\Active\Built In LCD
In "LCDcolors" Enter Decimal Value 268288
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\ Display\Citizen
In "CxScreen" Enter Hexadecimal Value 30
In "CyScreen" Enter Hexadecimal Value 30
Install OzVGA
These are the settings I use ...
ozVGA
MEnu&Bar Font 650 (Checked)
System Font 700 (Checked)
Hor. Scrollbar 10
Ver. Scrollbar 10
Min Scrl Thumb 10
Fonts Arrays :
SEvga : 500,600,650,800,1000
SEvga : 750,900,975,1200,1500
oz=SE* Ratio 2
Soft Reset
Goto Start/Settings/System/Screen
Set the font size to (Smallest)
As has already been pointed out, a lot of applications don't take into account the system-level font sizes in the Registry. Also, the vast majority of them doesn't check for the actual size of the screen to give you exactly the same view in VGA and in QVGA. (The most notable exception is the excellent document reader application, µBook , which offers the same resolution in both QVGA and VGA modes.)
View the screenshots below for an idea of wat it'll look like.
:shock: Can Someone please tell me why my screenshots don't show up in this page ?????

hardware?
friends, do our blueangels' lcd hardware support that resolution? Or is it just a programm tweak and is not a real resolution enhance?
i have no idea at all whether the hardware supports the resolution ... but the OS definitely allows for different resolutions.
Does anyone have any idea how to check if it is real ???
The only way i know how is to compare the same screen with same brightness settings against another device which is 18bit screen ... like the BenQ P50.
If anyone can do it ... please post your findings Thanks
I can only afford 1 device ... I am Poor
Thanks for the setp by step info...Iam going to try it...so it is safe to modify all the setting right?
yes it is absolutely safe ... just remember your original settings so you can key them back in if you want.
Hi Ivan, I have try it, not working so good, and the text are mixed up, even after changing the setting to the smallest, and the resolution remain the same, yes I follow your step by step, Thanks anyway.
Oh dear ... Sorry about that ... But the prospect of having an 18bit resolution blue angel would really have been a dream cum true ...
I'll experiment some other settings and post it for u guys can try ...
Will it work with a Blueangel running WM5?
Thanks.
I got no Guts to flash my ROM ... So I dunnoe if it work on WM5
But it seems quite safe to change the values back and forth ... it only affects how your screen displays stuff ... if you don't like still can go back to original settings ... I'm still experimenting
Need someone with WM5 to have the guts to try it and tell us his views.
I'll do it, but someone will REALLY have to create a really basic guide. I've never really gotten into modifying the Windows Mobile thing so I'm not 100% whether I'm doing it right.
If someone creates a 100% step by step guide then I'dbe more than happy to try it out. I understand WHAT I have to do, its just HOW to do it.
Hello, I decided to get the XDA Orbit instead rather then the wifi less MDA. Ive searched but could not find a result. How can I change the new text message sound alert to something a bit more...well me?! Don't fancy a dog barking!!
change the mp3 into a wav and drop it into the windows folder
thanks for that I have more questions, please can you help me?
ive only had mine a little time but go ahead, im sure if I cant help someone else can!
My friend overclocks his orbit with some software but he won't tell me because hes being a meany:-( I know about overclocking the risks etc. Id just like to give mine a tiny boost. Anyone know any reliable free app?
ive just done it 5 mins ago, ill find the stuff for you, its in this section of the forum
this is the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282006
direct link to software with instructions: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm
ive clokced mine to 260mhz and notice the difference immediatley when browsing, people have gone higher but I read one post on the thread said that over 273mhz and TomTom locks up
mine has been stable so far for the moment
I have tried omapclock and other overclocking apps but find them unstable and difficult to use (well im a newbie to overclocking).. till i found Anton Tomov Pocket Hack Master! It runs smoothly on my machine and it is very configurable... you can even set a specific speed to different applications... and it also does automatic scaling so you dont always run at full speed when using non demanding applications. It has automatic overclock testing and informs you that a certain Mhz setting is unstable on your machine.
Hi
Has anyone seen a countdown timer that sits on the todayscreen? I am looking for a freeware version.
The reason is I am off on a holiday in less than 3 months and want to know how many days and hours till I go just by looking at my phone - (without opening a program hence the today screen) I have searched the forums for a few weeks but haven't found anything yet (but that could just be my searching technique!!).
Once the holiday is up I would look to use it for other events that are coming up.
thanks in advance
Wow, you must really want that holiday badly.
Job sucks, huh?
lol, yep!!
i'm going to new zealand for 3 weeks (and visiting someone out there ) - going to be hard to come back after!!
I'm also competing in a Half Marathon a few weeks prior, and need to know how many days left I have for training at a glance. So ideally the today app should pick up on the dates from the calender and then display them on the today screen (I think thats the ideal way...but i'm not a programmer so wouldn't know for sure! lol). I've seen quite a few countdown type programs but none that sit on the today screen (from what I can tell - want to preserve battery life so don't want it running constantly which is another reason why I like the idea of it going on the today screen and the Touch HD (or mine at least) needs the battery life preserving as much as possible - usually manage 2 days before charging - have run it out in 12 hours and less though before now....and once managed 4 days before charging....but that was without talking to anyone at all!!!)
Still no luck finding what i'm after - searched here and other forums - if anyone has seen something that is similar to what i'm looking for, please feel free to pm me.
does anyone know how to program this?
cheers

Hi,
Try this little CAB used to use it on my tytn but not tried it on my HD.
Hope it works, enjoy your holls.
(it works on the today screen so cant use it with TF3D)
install then soft reset, then activate through settings.
regards
Jon
Thanks Jon, just what was needed and another satisfied xda-dev customer!
Edit update:
installed and running fine on the HD so far.
Have a great holiday. Hope she's worth it.
(BTW, whereabouts in NZ are you going?)
So do I!! lol
Going all over, visiting both Islands -North and South and trying to see and photograph as much as possible. Will be there for 3 weeks but the time will fly by too quickly before the reality of coming back to work sets in
My next task for the HD is to find some New Zealand maps for TT7 (in English of course) .....time to start another search!!

Hi
I set mine up by going to the Start menu (I'm not using TF3D) settings, Today icon, then the Items tab, then touch T-Day Counter and press options on the right, then just input the the date you need to count down to and press OK top right. (making sure that it has a tick on the tickbox) and it should appear on the Today screen telling you how many days left
hope that helps

For people waiting for Pointui Home2 free(if there are any) its out, n its awesome! At last a great alternative to M2D etc. Infact I think its better. Check it out here.
Still takes too much RAM just like M2D. And I don't know but I feel that 1.51 was much better than Home 2, it just feels like all show but no go.
It seems neat, but like xPreSiDenT said, it takes too much ram.
Playing with it, I ended up with about 8 meg free, and if I open a spreadsheet, or anything that consumes just a bit of memory, it will close home 2. Kinda defeats the purpose.
I think it is a neat idea, we just don't have enough memory.
i try it!
is tooo much unstable i have to hard reset the phone one or two time per day!
because the fone freez!
isn't very good for me!

my phone freezes, it's very important for my having my phone right
for this reason i've unistalled pointui
I like their features and how it does it, but not for my phone
best luck for all of you mates
Tried it, hogged ram like a mofo, uninstalled. Now there is happiness back in the world.
It did look good and ran fast but the ratio of geek-goodness to app resource hogging simply did not cut it.
Its definitely cool. I think it needs a bit more work to become my HTC Home replacement.
Theres definitely bugs present (like how for the weather when you select New York it marks it on the map as being in the middle of Africa, or Los Angeles in the middle of South America).. but I'll keep a close eye on it

then load the Cities file to your pc or open it in a editor, search for the location you want and make the values of X and Y :2 and you have the right coordinates
€dit: oops wrong fix but nice to know it too^^
Another fix from PointUI board from JSpeed
That is a very good assumption, however the problem (I suspect) is the change from hi-res to low-res. In World.cs there is a line that finds the size of the screen. for hi-res (VGA), it subtracts 180 from the width. in QVGA, it does the same. This should be 80 instead.
It looks like this:
y = GetTop();
x = GetWidth() - 160;
// Whack up the first icon
imgWeatherIcon1.Surface.LoadFromFile(imageFile1); // Load the appropriate image
imgWeatherIcon1.AutoSize();
imgWeatherIcon1.SetBounds(x + iOffset1, y);
// Position the control where it needs to start
imgWeatherIcon1.AnimateClear();
imgWeatherIcon1.AnimateFade(0, 100, 3);
imgWeatherIcon1.SetVisible(true);
Simply changing the 160 to 80 seems to fix this problem perfectly.

I can't register on the pointui site to download any themes, anyone had any success?
Thanks, tried it and it's not working for me, so I returned to my HTCHome.
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).

please explain how decreasing the screen's sensitivity increases its responsiveness to touch. the whole concept is counter intuitive.

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
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=56412
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.

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?
