Tab scrolling in HTC Home 2.1.1005722

Greetings-
I had been a Schap's 4.01 user, as it came out a day or so after I got my 8525. I recently upgraded to 4.22, and love it, but I have found what most people probably consider an enhancement is driving me nuts.
In 4.01, and thus the old HTC Home, the scroll wheel did not scroll through the HTC Home tabs. Now, in HTC Home 2.1.1005722, it does. This basically means I show my ringer settings (right most HTCH tab) at the top of my screen every time I scroll down to check my other today plugins, and it's kinda ruining a simply great ROM for me.
I mentioned this in the 4.22 thread, and said I'd check out HTC Home Customizer - it has a Lock HTC Home option, but it doesn't seem to fix my gripe either way when set. I figure that thread isn't getting much action now because of the 4.30 release, so I'd make my own thread, as this may affect others using HTC Home and being picky about their home layout.
Is there a registry key I'm missing that controls this, or a way to downgrade just HTC Home back to the version included in Schap's 4.01?
Thanks to the schapmeister and the forum gurus-

Hi, had same prob. but is strangly gone now.
Don't know the real fix (Also want it),
but I changed the order of the Tabs round
a few times and now it does not scroll anymore. (Yipee!!!! )
At the moment I have my Tabs set like this:
Home->Favorites->Launcher->Weather->Music
with NO scrolling, only touch screen.
Please PM me if you somehow find the REAL fix.

Hmm, I will keep trying it, but even this temp fix isn't getting me quite there.
There was one config i found that only scrolled through 2 tabs, but then i didnt like the order of them to touch

Turn off auto rotate and other manila v3 changes

Hey all. I've done a few searchs and read through a bunch of ROM threads (god, the dutty ones are full of stupid posts by stupid people), but haven't found any real answers.
How do we disable auto rotate / landscape mode in the new v3 Manila?
Is there any way of getting back the old notifications functionality where you click any of the icons along the top, and it brings up a screen with bigger icons for Notifications/Sound/Connections.
Use the old pop up menus? I am aware there's a tweak to make the 8 item menu into a 10 item. Can that hack be extended to 15 items?

If you use Dutty Extreme, then you had to enable the landscape rotate in the first place! In which case, to turn it off you just uninstall the "Dutty Enable Landscape" cab from "remove programs"

Nope, which is a real shame because the new notifications screen is USELESS! the "new text" is not the only thing that's useful to see! You can, however, disable the new notifications menu by going to the Task Manager (built into Duttys Extreme - sorry I can't help with where in the start menu it is because I've moved everything around to my own taste!) then go to Services and change the Notifications thingy to be "manual"

The thread that tells you how to get to 10 items actually meantions that these settings were just how that person had arrived at something that used the whole screen height perfectly. He explained which values change what and you should be able to adapt that to get whatever height of menu you want!
Hope that helps!

I'm using a different ROM now. I'm using the Lite one to try the speeds and the auto landscape is already cooked in. I was reading Dutty's because his ROM was the first to have it. I searched the thread where I got my ROM, but no one seems to dislike the auto rotate *shrug*. I don't mind it except in bed when I'm on my side.

I've tried that I believe, but doesn't really help. Oh well.

Ok, I guess I'll modify the registry. Was hoping to disable it altogether as I don't find it all that pretty and it's simply bloat. On many apps, the new menus don't fit the theme at all.
Thanks for your helpful suggestions!

In that case, I suggest using AE Button to map one of the volume buttons to "rotate screen", then you can over-ride the auto-rotate on a case by case basis by rotating the screen manually. I've got it set to long press of volume up and down for rotating each way, so if something gets stuck, or as you say I'm lying down, then I can over-ride whichever way I want.

I've tried disabling the auto rotate for all programs, and while it works, it interferes with some other rotation programs. I use kaisoft's screen rotate, and when i rotate something, the orientation gets forced back to portrait a few seconds later.
I've gone back to Dutty's 1.7 ROM as it suits my needs better. I'm finding auto rotation with the new manila has not improved any more since the old gsen/gyrator days when people had tonnes of problems. It's still a hassle controlling what you want rotated.
Thanks

try this which i found somewhere in dutty's thread:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor
Change the autorotation key to 0
this is the only thing changed, i've not tried the above reg.
it stopped the auto-rotation for me and also solved the photo orientation bug while in camera
opera will still rotate

it works!

Yes, this way works. It stop Manila auto-rotation, but it also effects the orthers software.

It works

Snooze options?

I've been searching and I can't find anything related to setting the snooze time on alarms and events. When you hit the Snooze button it is always 5 minutes. Is there a way to add options (some of the ROMs I used on the Kaiser had it built into them).
Thanks

Try to look up CrackHors Snooze options, it gives you much more options.

Try this post. I'll be trying it later as I was wondering the same, but never got around looking for a solution until now.

Here you'll find a .cab to do that.

WM6.5 ROM under development, some help needed.

Hi all!
I'm trying to make a ROM mainly for myself based on tomme45i's kitchen. I've gone pretty far with it, and I'll maybe publish it if anyone interested.
BUT now I'm having some problems with the ROM.
1. I've played with the settings of the clock/battery display on the tray. On other ROMs if I tapped on the battery, it opened the Power Settings window. Here I can't manage it. Same problem, if the clock is shown instead of the battery. Also as you can see, the battery icon is placed a little too close to the edge. Any ideas where can I adjust it?
2. Start menu. Exactly my problem is that the icons are not highlighted, so if I'm using the jog wheel for scrolling, I can't see which icon is selected (for better explanation see screenshot).
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
S100200

One of them fixed
Okay, I've managed to fix the Start Menu issue, a file was missing.
But the battery/clock tap-thing is still a question.

it's getting worse
Okay. I've managed some things to work, but now nothing happens if I tap on the tray icons. Only the start menu and the X-button works...
Something went wrong, but I can't find it...
Can someone help me with these issues?

Getting closer.
Okay, tray icon problem solved, the HTC X-button 1.5 was the problem. I uninstalled it, now the icons work normally.
BUT:
I've tried HTC Task Manager 2.0 ripped from a Hermes ROM, and it doesn't work at all.
Any ideas,why?

[Q] How to lock the screen from notification bar?

Good evening, XDA members. For those in the USA, Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate it. Haha!!
So I've finally moved from 4.4.2 to 5.0, Sense to GPe. I miss XposedFramework. LoL!! I'm setting up different mods and shortcuts to make the experience similar. I can double tap to view the lockscreen, but double tapping doesn't relock it. In Sense it would. I see notifications are always on the lockscreen. I want to know if there is an app, or combination of apps that would have a persistent notification and have possible buttons with one being a screen lock.
This would speed me back up. I won't have to reach for the power button when using one hand just to view the time. LoL!!
I stumbled across NiLS I believe it's called, and I tried Notification Toggle The latter seemed to work, but tje function had become depreciated in 5.0 from what the little error message said.
If anyone can suggest something that would be great. I have PIE control for my "always active" Menu button. LoL!! I can't use PIE on the lockscreen though.
Any cheat would be nice. I just want my one hand usage back. That's the last thing before I can get comfortable and learn to use 5.0 until Kernals come out. Unless there is one... =.P
Thanks,
Izaya
