Screen sensitivity
Check out this post to adjust screen sensitivity.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3725352&postcount=402
AFTER YOU DO THIS RESET YOUR "GESTURE AGENT" SENSITIVITY TO THE SECOND TO LOWEST POSITION.

Sim contacts.
Anyone that wants to have the contacts on both the phone and the sim but hide the contacts stored on the sim can use this; HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Phone Click on phone, then add DWORD value Value name:ShowSim Value Data:0
Thanks to 94b20gsr on the ATT LG forum.

Change scroll bar size.
HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\
Horizontal scrollbar
cyHScr = 20
Vertical scrollbar
cxVScr = 20
Thanks to faithalone on the ATT LG forum.

Screen orientation speed.
hkey_current_user>controlpanel>accelsensor and change the adjust delay to 0 and also the mode change delay to 0
This will increase the speed at which the screen changes from portrait to landscape.
Thanks to 94b20gsr on the ATT LG forum

Increase Ringtone filesize limit
Browse to HKEY_Current_User / ControlPanel / Sounds
Under the Sounds key, you should see a value by the name of FileSizeLimit
Highlight the FileSizeLimit value and edit it
The default Value Data for this value is 307200.
Change this to a value that better suits your needs. I would recommend a reasonable amount as you don’t want to use all system resources to load up your ringtone. I would think that 807200 would be a reasonable size for most people.
Save your changes and you should now be able to select those larger files as your ringtones
Thanks to cru64 on the ATT LG forum

Gesture agent tip
The sensivity setting is backward. Set it to the second to LOWEST setting for the best results.

wow.. fail with like the 50 billion separate posts... you should just put it all in one

LOL
Sorry i thought this was MY thread. But i do see your point, but then again it'll still look like this as more people add other edits or tips. I was having to go back and forth between several webpages and it was just easier to add post as i got my crap together.
FOR POST #12:Don't see what the difference is how many post i put, the idea is to get the information out there in an easy to get at format. What i don't understand is why you want to beat down my post instead of contribute to it. I've seen you post in regards to the Incite, you have a vested intrest in the information i posted.

technically, its everyones thread.. but i do see youre point.. somewhat . it just looks like you want your post count jacked up if you ask me though

oh boy, give us a break .... who cares about post count ... default, thanks for this, next time i will only come here and find everything together.

Your welcome
That was my intent in the first place to COMPILE tweaks, tips, and tricks in one place. Hopefully people will submit some more tips.

As i posted on the LG Incite forum the best way to get a more sensitive screen and for you to better understand the "GestureAgent's" settings read this quote from this post
http://www.lg-incite.com/lg-viewty-tips-and-tricks/gestures-touch-sensitivity-and-the-lg-incite/
"We will get started by going to Start>Settings>Gestures.From there you will have the ability to make the device more finger friendly in 2 areas.
1)Flick scrolling in windows default menus(any menu with scroll bars).Instead of trying to jam you're finger you will be able to "flick" you're finger over the screen to scroll through things.
2)better sensitivity in gesture enabled apps(ones with more things off of the screen without scroll bars such as TF3D and POINTUI).
The best settings i have found in the "Gestures" settings menu is the click sensitivity set one spot below half way.Also don't forget to check all gesture enabled apps in the "exclusive" tab.
The third and probably the most important(depending on preference)is touch sensitivity.The screen will be most sensitive after you turn off vibration feedback in Start>settings>sounds and notifications>vibrations tab.Uncheck screen taps.Then go to start>settings>system tab>screen and recalibrate the screen with VERY light screen taps.The screen will be much more sensitive with the vibration feedback turned off.
Also with this setting,from the home screen you will be able to swipe you're finger from the very bottom of the screen to the top of the screen to bring up the "LG Touch Menu".You will also be able to swipe in this application to move to the different tabs.
Hope this helps with any questions you may have about gestures and how to make the screen more sensitive."

good job man! my incite is like 20billlion times faster.

thanks for all the tips!
one request: does anyone know how to increase the size of the "ok" X button on the top right? my thumb is big =)

HTC Home 6 Tab plug-in
You can edit the Launcher in the registry to launch any program that doesn't show up in the options menu at.

More LG Incite Registry Tweaks
Some tweaks here help speed up your incite and free ram without the need of 3rd party apps.
Delete Keys to disable LG Camera
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LGE\Apps\InitApp\Launch : Delay00
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LGE\Apps\InitApp\Launch : Launch00
Delete Keys to disable GestureAgent
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LGE\Apps\InitApp\Launch : Delay01
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\LGE\Apps\InitApp\Launch : Launch01
Remove AT&T startup screen animation
Delete keys: (you will need CeRedEditor or something to unlock the key first)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Startup\ 1 - keydata StartUpAni.dll
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init:Launch49 REG_SZ StartUpAni_Delay.exe
Now you can customize Windows/StartUpImg_DMDO_000.bmp as your startup splash screen. The initial green Windows screen will still be there.
This is the only key that is active :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Splash Screen : MSBitmap
Not sure what AT&T disable using softwaredisable.dll, but I don't miss it:
Change default to 0
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SoftwareDisable:IsEnabled 0 (Default 1)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SoftwareDisable:Keep 0 (Default 1)
or simply delete the whole
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\SoftwareDisable
Change system font: Only affect a few dialog and display screens.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT:Ht (Height)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\SYSFNT:Nm (Font type)
Change short cut icon on your LG's Favorites Menu like that soft reset you always wanted
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LGE\Favorites\IconList
see http://www.lg-incite.com/third-party-lg-incite-software/1-touch-soft-reset-for-you-guys/
Change the 2 soft keys on the Today Screen
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys
default_user8, Why hasn't anyone update this list? Have you ask the one who created the new ROM?

Updated list
The cooks do know about this post, and are incorporating the tweaks into the cooked ROM. As for adding more tweaks to the list. I'm sure the focus right now is on developing a clean ROM and kitchen. Once that process has been completed i'll bet you see some more tweaks being posted here, since people will have more time to develop them. Thanks for the post btw I'll bet the LG Icon list get used alot.

Today Screen Fiddling!!

Hi all
Have now virtually achievd my perfect TODAY screen, but for ONE problem. It is just SLIGHTLY too large, thus bringing up a scroll bar on the right hand side- with around 1mm of scroll!!
I have done all I can to shrink and move things, and I believe I now have 2 options left- neither of which I know how to do......
1) Slightly reduce font size on owner information (which I want to keep), AND?OR get the phone no. oto the same line as my name.
2) I wish to keep the screen lock option that appears on today by default (the padlock that stops any screen activations in your pocket). Am wondering if I can add this to one of my SPB PocketPlus tabs as a shortcut- but have no idea where the .exe file is to point to.
Any help much appreciated,
Justin
Why dont you post screenshots. More great suggestions will come in for sure.
Yer tiz.......
Don't laugh- but I love the colouration of the guava theme with the black of the orbit! - just don't like black with black
You can just.... see the tip of the "device unlock" padlock at the bottom of the screen. All is adjusted to optimum (as far as I can tell)- apart from the 2 points I mentioned at the start of the thread- owner info, and device lock shortcut.
Thanks again
Justin

Hi bro,
If you made some search through the net you would find the solution. I've made search, I've found the souliton.
Just try the attached file, I think that's exactly what you need...

View attachment 53852
cant you make the size of pocketbreeze plugin a little smaller?
Or just reduce the size of SPB Diary... in worst case there appears a scroll bar in the Diary window...
SPB diary, and pocket plus have been made as small as possible. The scroll bar to the right is what I am trying to get rid of, ans the today screen extends down too far.
zsitvayb- thanks mate- that zip file has allowed me to shortcut the device lock onto the spb tabs. This has reduced the info at the bottom, and lost me the scroll bar. Can now see 5 days of wether- not 4!!
Would still be interested though in any way of tinkering with the owner info appearance on the today screen....
Remove your soft keys
I use wisbar advanced3, it has the option of removing the soft keys from the today screen, then using AEButton plus I made the soft key buttons have the same function as they originally did, soft key/1 press, contacts/long press, and I have lost no functionallity at all with a bit more real estate. Hope that makes sense. Also the features of WA3 are great and your today screen would look even better with some nice WA3 icons on the taskbar. If only it was free.
Thanks unique boy (tempted to call you uniqua- but unless you have young kids, or are a student you may not know the "backyardigans"!!).
Understand what you are saying- interesting idea. Does the wisbar affect speed at all??

That's not quite true. Remove one of the tabs (in Diary settings). After that you can decrease the height by another 20 picsels or so.
But this would then lose the fuctionality that I built up???

If you are using SPB 2.5.5 you can make the tabs horizontal and then add a custom tab and inside the custom TAB move the weather or any other today plugin...!
Like what I have done on my screen...
cheers
Have you tried using slide to unlock.
I find this great and you wouldnt need the lock icon on the screen.
Just a though and help you need pm me
WA3
As far as I can tell WA3 does not slow down my artemis. The skin I use is called "reflections" it can be found on lakeridge's forum. Nice new wait cursor, lovely cascading menus, float window. I like it.
Thanks to all- certainly a few ideas there to try.
Keep up the good work- invaluable resource!!!!!!

[THEME] Iphone for WAD2 by Mallman v 2.1 NOW WITH LANDSCAPE MODE!!!

Looks great, will give it a try (and your carbon theme) when i finish with all the family Christmas fun.
Hopefully i will get some free time soon to get stuck into themes myself. Need to send the wife and kid on holiday for any chance of that though!
lol metal thats funny. Well when you get the chance please report back what you liked and what you didn't like about the install instructions, theme functionality and anything else you think I could have done better.
best of luck with the family and happy holidays!!
Just had a quick (i mean quick as well) look at the ipod theme.
GREAT THEME
Just a couple of things for the install instructions that might help people new to WAD.
You may not hace a themes folder in Wisbar folder, just create one.
To get to seetings in point 1, touch and hold anywhere on the screen.
Can i confirm that to unlock you just slide left to right. It got me sweating a bit when i thought my phone was locked with no way to get in. Tapping the screen like a nutter
Just going to have a look at your other theme now.
Would these be easy enough to make as a landscape version as well?
great feedback!!!!! updated the install instructions in post 1 and in the download.
Iphone theme
Hi Mallman
greatlooking theme - I am very new to WAD2 it looks like its got an amazing amount to give to HD owners.
How can I change the links to my own programs ie tomtom etc want to keep the icons but keep getting an error, did I say I was NEW to this !!
cheers
Jon
JPW,
If you access the menu (tap and hold on screen) and select 'author mode'
After that, tap and hold over the icon you want to change and change the link it has to the program

exactly right, and actions assigned to icons, text or anything else are known as "scripts". added to FAQ by the way
Great work on this and other themes Mallman! A question though, it seemed that the 'lock' button just refers to a page with a lock on it, and this page in turn refers back to the starting page of the theme.
Is it possible to have this button actually lock your device? Because locking my device also locks my volume buttons because I got so anoyed with constantly changing volume while i carry the device around.
Thx again for the work you are putting into this!

it probably is. In fact if you are running S2U2 (which I am not and dont really like) you could link the red lock icon to S2u2 and eliminate that start page altogether. Let me go see what can be done using only windows locking function. I just dont like using third party locking programs. Seem to cause me more headache than anything for answering the phone lol.
ps. thanks for your kind words as well.
Yeah I don't like the third party locking either. And although you can lock the phone with the powerbutton for some reason i also want the option to use the default software lock.
When i have some time on my hands I will venture into WAD2 themes myself, I'm decent with designing and so far understand the things possible with WAD2 (quite alot!).
Also something you might want to include in your starting posts is that these themes are made for WWE roms. I'm running a Dutch rom myself so basicly not a single button works on installation, not that i mind because its quite easy to replace them with the 'dutch links'.

ok after much research, the only thing I can get to work without using a third party locking app is to lock the device my shutting the screen off. This serves the exact purpose you are referencing. What it doesn't do is require an unlock, just have to press the top power button to turn on. I really love this feature now and it keeps the door open for those who want to install the third party apps. I have delete the lock page now so version 1.3 will have this feature with the useless lock page deleted. thanks for the input
and for everyone's knowledge, You cant call the lock function of the phone with an executable file. Seems it is in a dll somewhere and i just dont feel like messing with all of that
In addition to this and the Carbon Fibre themes, because I moved all of the exe's from the Programs folder into sub folders such as Entertainment, System Tools, Productivity, then none of the start links work. However, if you go into Author mode, press and hold, then select Properties, you can change the script application/link and Bob is your Aunt's husband
Good work.

lmoa, bob...
yes that is correct. I will be releasing a new version of Carbon Fiber tonight with a new system sliding doc attached to the start button instead of the start menu. this eliminates the dependency on WA3. I have also removed the "locked" page because 2 new buttons appear on the slider which can lock/turn off your screen and soft reset. A new analog vs digital clock function has been installed which makes the clock act as the TF3D clock does when you slide your finger up or down (switching from analog to digital). But look for that tonight
Excellent. I have now managed to change the order of the pages Home > Contacts > Calendar > Weather > Apps > Home which means the most used pages are a single slide left or right from the front page.
You are right about putting things down on paper otherwise it turns into a nightmare trying to work out where you are. Several times I got caught in a loop and had to use the 'home' button to get back to the desktop.
Regards
Hi,
Very nice theme !!
Gloc, how do you can for that that tips Home > Contacts > Calendar > Weather > Apps > Home ?

[Theme] [PocketCM Keyboard] v1.11 [3/16/2009]

A PocketCM Keyboard .23+ WVGA theme I made for the large of finger so you can worry just about what you want to say instead of trying to spend all your time pecking at each key and getting it right.
Features:
Virtual D-Pad
Long press on any letter to get uppercase.
Long press on almost any key for quick access to similar symbols.
Shift button is caps lock.
I made every key as large (tall (with big layout and wide)) as possible.
Has larger room for correction / allowed mistakes than standard keyboard to allow for less pickiness on large screen (WVGA).
Landscape finally works.
English qwerty.
Optimized as much as possible (including all images) for speed and size of theme.
Hold "!" for "!! "
Hold "?" for "?? "
Hold "," for ".com"
Hold "$" for "€"
Only bugs / quirks I'm currently aware of:
Not sure of what the height for landscape should be. (If you are using a full screen app (such as PocketCM) the current height is great, otherwise..it takes up pretty much the whole screen. Easy to change. Go to settings.ini, and change the last value from 27p to something more like 23p.)
Correction currently will not go through when any symbol is entered. Suggestion will go through only when the following are pressed immediately after a word is entered
space
!
@
Based off Tene's dream theme, so looks are the same.
Credits to of course tene and and also zard for assistance with the virtual keys.
Credits also to MrHawaii of PPCGeeks for a few ideas.
UPDATE 3/16/2009 V1.11
Started over from scratch.
Removed "Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space)." temporarily until I hear further from Tene on how to make it work more correctly.
Made suggestion 19% more forgiving, allowing for 19% further displacement from correct key. Think that is the farthest I will go, though I can bump it up if requested.
Suggestion will currently (until I hear from tene on how to fix it) only go through on the following
space
!
@
UPDATE 3/11/2009 V1.1
Added:
Hold comma key for ".com"
Auto - double space inserted when period, exclamation mark, or question mark pressed.
Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space).
Fixed:
Correction now goes through even on ?!.,
(Isn't actually as blurry as it looks on the thumbnail)
PCMK can be found at pocketcm.com
Updated. Small fixes and enhancements. See OP.
Thanks!
Use it on my Touch HD and its working fine!

That really all the information you're gonna give?

What your default language is, what your screens resolution is (I'm not familiar enough w/ the omnia), what options you have selected in pcmk, a screenshot of the problem, what version of pcmk you are using, etc..

Yep that's what's going to do it for you is just the height. I have it set for my device right now. The text box can't be moved / resized (except by tene), but if you lower the height of the whole keyboard then you should be good, I would recommend 24 or so.

Shift Key Graphics
Thanks .. this is a great theme!!
I see Shift key and up arrow key similar.. I just wanted to change shift key graphic to display "Sft" words in Image. I replaced shift.png in zip folder but it didnt work. How can I do this?
Message removed - posted in wrong thread.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a great theme! It's by far my favorite.
I was just wondering if you have released a new version of it since V1.11?
I'm not sure if I've found a bug, but, I've noticed that when I use any kind of punctuation (period, question mark, etc) it seems to be added to the beginning of the last word entered. For example instead of "I am home now.", I get "I am home .now". Is this behavior by design, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
ima noob. how do you get your skin to take affect?
Just copy the zip file into the PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files, then in PCM k\'s option choose my theme and then the suitable layout.

[REQ] Arty type needed

I've just made a small and simple app for toggling screen rotation (see PLToggle in my signature). There's only 1 screen on it, but I'm not keen on it. I'd be really grateful if someone with more artistic tendancies than me would be willing to redesign the screen for me. It's the settings app in the start menu that I'm on about.
I need a background image, so that I can scale it to fit different resolutions.
I'm happy enough with the buttons, but if you think you can do something better then please feel free! The only thing with the buttons is that they need to be straight edged (you can't use transparency with .Net picture boxes, so just RGB, no ARGB).
Incidentally, I plan to get rid of the top button as it's only really for cancelling and closing the settings screen. I'd prefer to put a text description up there and have an exit button at the bottom of the screen in the usual softkey menu.
I'll also use the same background for an about screen which I need to add, and will obviously put thanks in there, and the app thread, for anyone that does something that's used.
Thanks in advance for anyone kind enough to help out

[Utility] Taskbar autohide utility

Hello
One thing make me crazy using surface. In landscape mode, I have taskbar on the left side. It give me easy access to program with thumb and it don’t use much space... but when I switch surface to portrait mode for reading or note taking, it take too much space on the left....
So here comes my solution small program that can change taskbar auto hide property based on screen rotation.
You can change if taskbar auto hide or don’t in landscape or portrait mode , and you can mark this program to start automatic on startup
Feel free to use it and share it please leave comment of what you thing about this utility and what more you want
Cool! Doesn't work on the RT though, even thoughit looks like it should (.NET, AnyCPU target). I may hook it up to a debugger for some investigation. Thank you for including the source!
I love this utility! I've actually been unsuccessfully looking for something to do exactly this for a few weeks, and I stumbled on this when I wasn't looking for it.
There's one minor issue I seem to be having with it. If I restart my computer, wait for all the programs to load up (including yours, which is set to run at startup), the program is running, but doesn't have any effect on the status of the taskbar -- the taskbar simply maintains the last state it was in before I restarted the computer: autohide or not -- it doesn't change with orientation. If I exit the program and restart it, it performs as it's supposed to.
In short whenever I restart my Surface Pro (and sometimes when waking from sleep) I have to restart the program to get it to continue working properly.
Great utility by the way!
EDIT: It doesn't fail to respond every time I start and shut down, but it seems to happen whenever I restart with the Surface Pro still in portrait mode. I just tried it with it in landscape mode and it worked fine.
Hello
Many thansk for using this utility, I
nearly forgot that i post it public. I know about this issiu and after finals i have plans to fix this but unfortunetly some problem with position senzor shows up on my surface pro ( like in this blog surfacetablethelp.com/2013/06/surface-pro-simple-device-orientation-sensor-not-working-or-disconnected.html#comment-16957 but whit no android thing )
So soon as i fix this and have woring chang. oriantation i will wok on this utility
Are you still working on it?
A nice feature would be to have the bar always on the same (physical) side of the screen.
For example to save space: Having it on the left side in portrait and as soon as the orientation changes it will now be on the bottom.

Would someone provide this link:http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/soft...tablet-pc.html
as a reply to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2234549
?
There are at least two people looking for solutions (as was I) and I stumbled upon the answer looking for something else. The program they are looking for sounds like Taskbar shuffler in the tabletpcreview forum. I cant post it to make these people super happy, as I don't have 10 posts. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated, and I would be super happy.

Are you still working on it?
A nice feature would be to have the bar always on the same (physical) side of the screen.
For example to save space: Having it on the left side in portrait and as soon as the orientation changes it will now be on the bottom.

THIS. Totally want some way to have taskbar automatically switched depending on screen orientation.

The links don't work. Does the one to tabletpcreview have a way to move the taskbar when the screen rotates?

Again thanks for using this utility. Orientation sensor on surface suddenly start working after ages of malfunctions so i was able to fix some bugs and add one new feature
So let me introduce v2:
-fixed bug when auto hide wasn't initialize after reboot.
-added feature to move task bar based of screen orientation.
Since changing task bar orientation isn't possible via API since windows vista, i am using some way of "bay pas". Program start task bar property windows. Switch focus on it and emulate keystrokes ( tabs for moving between options, arrows for switching orientation, enter for submit changes ) ... and i cant bele it .. it work :fingers-crossed:
So fell free to test it and post any comment and feedback
Dude, that's awesome. I haven't tested it extensively, but from brief usage, it puts the taskbar at the bottom on portrait and on the left in landscape. Exactly what I want. Thanks!
It still working in win10.. Thanks,
