Dialer keypad buttons Transparent!! (regedit oops)

hello everyone,
First a big thanks to K for his beautiful roms. I am currently using K's 1.30a (december) rom, and I love it.
But, my problem....... I was playing around in the registry yesterday, and recall setting something along the lines of "transparent dialer keys" (dumb idea #1). I noticed that it didnt do anything, so I left it (dumb idea #2).
Today, I had to restart my phone, and then went to make a call and guess what. The dialer keys are transparent!! It makes it look like hte phone is freezing, but I can still use the empty spaces to dial.
Does anyone know WHERE in the registry this key is? I can definitely set it back ( I believe it was a 1 or 0 setting), but only if I can remember where it is.
If anyone can help me, I would be eternally grateful. Otherwise I will have to go about upgrading to K's next newest rom (was going to eventually anyway), and/or finding a new dialer skin to install.
Heres to hoping someone knows!

any body ?

try this, but if doesn't work, plz hard reset ASAP. and don't forget to make a back up data first (just PIM, Message not the SYSTEM, afraid the last registry will follow).

Thank you sir!
Does it matter that I'm on a Hermes and thats a Kaiser dialer?
I will try this in about an hour.. thanks again!!

it works on hermes. it's made look alike (i think).
report here if anythinh happen.

Well I installed it, and it asked me to reboot. Upon restarting, the phone skin was completely unchanged! I think I'm just going to suck it up and upgrade to one of the newer roms, again. Thanks for your help though.. I included a pic of what it looks like .. its pretty interesting.

Try this one

nope! same old thing. I'm pretty sure the reg value I changed is what's causing it. I will never find it though (I'm surprised there isn't a big map of what sections of the registry do what .. even for windows!)
Not a big deal thought, New rom for me. (i will be documenting everything thsi time!)

Weird but cool . I think I need that registry if you find them to protect my billing from my lil' bro. (just kidding). Good luck to u.

Looks and works great on my HTC TYTN RU version. Thanks a lot. The only problem is the previous "green" short call list.

I've got the same problem!!!!
With a P4350 when I install any dialer (tried some of them) I've got the transparent keys.
Right now no solution to the problem

6.1, keyboard and another newbie problems

So, I got used Hermes cheap and it's my (almost) first PDA. So, I am kinda newbie and I ran to a few problems.
So, first of all, here's my biggest problem. I got a Hermes with different keyboard than in manual. I have used search and found a picture, so my keyboard looks like this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=29735&d=1155484079
I tried various methods for changing my keyboard layout, but no success. I need a keyboard to type sms fast, however I should memorise all the characters or to use stylus.
Also, I am new to PDA, but I'd like to try some fast custom 6.1 ROM. I successfully flashed to 21109_Manila2D_Opera.rar, however I wonder if newer = better. What do you suggest for a beginner?
I think that these questions are quite often and you're probably tired of answering this. However, it would be great if you could help me with my problems.

Ok, here I am again. After a few hour sleep (I was tired from school), I found a solution.
I used JLAs dynamic build, which I can complement for being fast, stable and solid-looking. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446608
And I changed my keyboard layout to Swedish with advanced config. Now it all works fine.
Sorry to bother you, please delete or lock this thread.

For apps and stuff I go to IPmart. You can find everything you want!

@mspl
First, try Jack's medium or full 6.1 ROM for a couple of days. Than you'll decide what you still miss.

Cheers guys....
You change the repeat rate from registry
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\RepeatRate default 8->4 (or less)
Had no probl. w. double tap to zoom in Opera. You can check the Opera setup with about:config from your browser
bmanashe said:
Hey, thanks for your speedy reply!! if it were not for people like yourself my diamond would be a very dull device indeed!!
Right, I changed the repeat rate and tried from 4 to 3 to 2 right down to 0 and it seems to have no affect on my problem...for example, on my older builds, if i repeatedly pressed '.....' it would input the dots for however many times I pressed the button into my text, even if it did take a few seconds to catch up...now wen I write a text or somethin, i have to wait until the last letter I have pressed is on screen before I can enter a new letter...if I type too quickly, it misses out loads of letters until it feels ready to recieve a new one...before I could just type away and I always knew it would catch up with itself and remember what I had pressed a few milliseconds ago!! now I can repeatedly hit '.......' and only 1 dot will appear on screen! i have to wait a second before I press '.' again! same with backspace....i used to be able to hit backspace repeatedly very quickly and delete a whole load of text, even if it took a second to catch up, now I press it several times and only 1 letter deletes!! I have to wait a few milliseconds to press backspace again before I can delete another letter! very very tedious!! any ideas??! its really buggin me, its ruining the way I text and email. its not just the dots or backspace...every letter is the same, so its basically impossible to type quickly... I've tried another keyboard 2! 'fingerkeyboard' which is really nice and looks great, but it does the same thing!! last build (6.5q) worked fine and the same way as my original 6.1 rom.
Also with opera, I had alook at the config options, but could not see an option to enable double tap to zoom! I dont suppose you know a registry tweak for that aswel do ya??
Looking forward to your reply!
Kind regards

Can any1 help??! is no-one else that upgraded to Bsb 6.5.1 A/S finding that texting is slower??! its not just the keyboard tho...I notice even when I'm scrolling in Opera or through my list of programmes, I flick my finger quite fast (Like I used to on the other roms) yet the screen does not keep up like it used to!! It gives me the vibration feedback on every finger stroke, but only scrolls if I move my finger abit slower!! someone who upgraded must have the same problem??! plz help..there must be a registry tweek out there sumwhere to increase the reaction speed of the screen..??

Why the double topic???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562469

i think it was a problem of that build so you wont be able to fix it until i update the rom... but you know... my diamond is at SAT so be patient

Cheers
Sorry about double post!!! tried to change title but accidently just made it as a new post! I'm going to try and delete it now if I can!!
Makeveral- Thanks for your reply!!! As long as I know I'm not the only one experiencing this issue and at least I know that nothing can be done at the moment!! Like I said before, I think your Roms are really great and I love this new version so much that I dont even want to revert back to the un-finger friendly versions, so I think I will just wait for your diamond to get fixed and for a new update to come out!! I think I can handle it until then!! Have they said your diamond can be fixed then??? your not upgrading and abandoning your precious diamond quite yet??!
Anyways, cant wait to see what new tricks you have up your sleave! keep up the good work and thanks again for your reply and putting my mind at ease!!
Cheers

[Q] Greek SMS with 70 characters limit

Hello everyone!
I have the usual problem with the system limiting my SMSs to 70 characters when using the Greek alphabet.... Someone suggested on the Smart Keyboard forum (http://www.dexilog.com/smartkeyboard/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=970&p=4484#p4484) that HTC has solved this. But for me, the problem persists in a weird way:
-Of course I type in all caps
-If I use any letters that are specific to the Greek alphabet (Ψ,Ω,Δ,Λ,Σ etc) the limit stays at 160 characters
-If I type a letter that is common to the latin alphabet it drops to 70 characters!
It's strange, but I haven't seen much talk about this issue here, though it was a big topic in WinMo discussions (WM has the same problem).
So:
-Can someone verify whether or not HTC has fixed this?
-Does anyone have a suggestion?
Using RevolutionHD 2.09 with 1.72.405.3 .
Thanks!
T

Anyone?.... I also tried the IME mod v27 to no avail...

Goodmorning my friend,
Unfortunately my friend you have to use the ACE HELLAS solution for this, which is a "top secret" info, they will never help you out with this.
Had the same problem with my previous phone (HTC Legend), and ended up using SlideIT with Greek add-on, which I remember that worked for SMS (ofcourse always caps). Give it a try and let me know.
In case you really need Greek, and you are willing to come back to ACE HELLAS stock, I can Nandroid mine when it comes back from service and upload the ROM for you.

Good morning Kostantinos,
Thanks so much for taking the time to reply... I can't believe we're in the same s#!+ with Ace Hellas once more - it was the exact same situation some 4 years ago when I got my TytnII! Of course this is not the sign of a serious company (speaking both for HTC and ACE) since the fix should have found its way upwards and be included in the stock HTC ROMs.... but I digress.
I'm running a custom ROM, so I wouldn't want to go back to a stock one, but I guess that this could be rectified by just grabbing the relevant apk(s)?
Also,thanks for the SlideIt kb. I had tried it, but didn't remember it fixes the problem - will try again.
Thanks again, and have a great day,
Themis

I will let you know regarding APKs after I root my DHD, as soon as I receive it back from service (the blur picture left part camera issue).
Until then, you can also "dig" information and try the new Swype beta for DHD as well, but I dont think it supports Greek at the moment (not sure). If I find anything I will send you a link.
Yes, the problem is really frustrating, but at least the WM problem was a single HTC_ime.cab file, which worked in almost all devices. In Android it is a real pain in the arse!!! That is why I still stick with the stock ROM.
After 3 years of upgrading Android OSs, this problem should have been fixed generically, from the box.

OK, you can try here... NOT tested, but you have chances to work

Thanks - I'll take you up on your offer, so please do forgive me if I bother you with a PM in a few days
Swype doesn't have Greek - at least didn't have the last time I tried it, so it's a no-go, but SlideIt is good enough I think - it's just that it's totally different and i happen to like the HTC Kyboard
Was it an IME cab for WM? I seem to remember it was a keyboard cab. And it seems to be the same here - there are messaging apps (call me Handcent) that solve it with the stock keyboard, but there are also third-party kb's that solve it with the stok messaging app! So it seems it can be fixed two-ways... If I could help in any way with digging into the ROM please do let me know!
Oh, just got a notification about your second post in a row - wow, it includes Greek! Lemme grab it, quick
Thanks once more mate, it's strange how not more people discuss this issue (time to visit the ACE Hellas fora again after several years I think! ).
Cheers

Ahhh yes I remembered the problem with Swype: it FCs whenever you switch languages... so kinda useless
[edit] and, also, it doesn't solve the 70-char issue, it's exactly the same. Gonna try SLideIt.
[Edit2] ..aaand SlideIt does the same as well.

My dear friend can you send me the HTC_ime.cab file or tell me where can I find it? I have the exact same problem with my wm6.5 phone! I don't want to use the solution with the remapped keyboards!

Number of Characters has to do with Unicode or GSM Alphabet?
