I have modified the registry and added "EnableIndicator" with DWORD 1 and still cannot get this to work
I am using an o2 XDA mini s.
Any thoughts please
do you have CapNotify.lnk in your \Windows\StartUp\ folder ?
It should point to:
32#"\Windows\CapNotify.exe"
If you don't have that link / file there, then modifying the registry won't help
Lastly, are you checking while working with the hardware keyboard, or when using the on-screen keyboard? If you're enabling caps lock with the on-screen keyboard, the indicator won't show up... the on-screen keyboard will readily show caps lock is on, of course.
EnableIndicator doesn't work for me either
I have CapNotify.lnk in \Windows\Startup... it points to \Windows\CapNotify.exe
I created EnableIndicator in the registry with a DWORD value of 1
When I use the hardware keyboard, I get no indicator about caps/symbol status.
Any help?

Just out of the blue, did you soft reset after making your registry changes? Reg changes to a Wizard don't happen immediately, but are forced when you soft reset. Just hold the power button until a warning dialog box pops up, click yes to confirm shutdown, then click the power button again after its off to restart....Might help...
Caps Lock Indicator sometines having opposite effect?
I noticed sometimes that the "C" caps lock indicator sometimes seemed to be on when it should be off, and vice versa - thought it was probably like when a PC keyboard gets off in its indicators, and I'd do a soft reset and then it worked normally - but THEN I found this on a MoDaCo forum post (at http://www.modaco.com/Tip-See-Wizardand39s-Keyboard-Mode-t236896.html) and it all became clear to me:
"Hmmm.... maybe I'm doing something stupid, but it doesn't seem to be working properly for me.
I used BreakSoft's MobileRegistryEditor to edit the registry on my O2 XDA Mini S (with the O2 customisation removed as described at http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...dpost&p=707087) <http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=235057&view=findpost&p=707087)>.
Now I'm getting the C and dot symbols... but the "C" appears when I'm typing LOWER case. That's not right, is it? :?:
Yes, I was doing something stupid. Why is it you always realise this immediately after posting...
Anyway, seems I had caps-lock turned on in the on-screen keyboard and this was reversing the effect of caps-lock on the physical keyboard..."[endquote]
So NOW, I know that if the "C" is behaving opposite of expected, it is because I left the onscreen soft keyboard in Capitals mode!!

Is it possible to remove to whole bar at the bottom of the home screen? Mine has links to contact & calender, but I just want to remove it since I dont use them at all...
Any ideas?
soft key applet
you can use a program called soft key applet, which is downloadable from the xda ftp site, not sure if you can simply turn these off, but you can assign different programs to them.
I use dcinobar, you can just click the .exe to enable / disable it. I have mine placed in the \windows\startup folder works perfectly.

nice post, def. gonna try this one out when I get the chance as I never use the on screen soft keys anyway,(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)and a little extra room is welcomed with open arms. I'm guessing you can still use the soft keys if you want to by pressing the hw buttons on the device right????
cheers
Heres the trick..
It LOOKS a lot better. It makes more of your image available to use.
But wither or not you use the buttons doesnt even matter, because when at the today screen, even if you press those buttons they still work. I use mine all the time, but I dont like the clutter, but it doesnt matter. I just remember what buttons do what, since they still work.
Im adding this to my newbie thread
Thanks!!
This gives the homescreen just a bit more room.
Another nice mod is to remove the iconset for the unlock/com man/etc located above this bar. I used the regedit method using total commander- simply delete the following from your registry:
\\HKLM\INIT\LAUNCH92
This is the key that launches the tray application at boot (To re-enable create the registry key above with the value TrayAp.exe)
Have fun!

Actually I found the tray icons very useful and actually added my own tray from batterstatus. One touch activation of any of the radio's and various programs makes using the tray very efficient. Plus you can access the tray without even touching the screen so its a win-win in my eyes.
Regarding Neptunes' first post at the top,
"(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)"
I have spent days looking for a fix/patch for this. Is not having the scroll feature in landscape mode the final answer on this one?
Thanks guys!
Scroll
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home and change the type to 4.
Poweroff and poweron.
Thanks, exactly what i need.
On my old ETEN M600 (RIP) I had a phone pad app/skin that gave me big buttons and when a dial button was pressed the phone vibrated for a 1/4 of a second. It was great physical feedback to feel that little blip when a button was pressed and I believe it allowed me to dial numbers quicker. Anyone know of a app that enables this for the Tilt/Kaiser?
And yes I did a search for this before I posted a new thread.
Thanks

How to set up one button press on/off with device and screen locked
Also for those that are interested. I have AE Button Plus, Ilauncher and DeviceLock by Matt Armstrong installed on my Tilt. The combination of these programs allow me to program the left softkey to turn off the Tilt. Matt's Devicelock auto locks the phone and prevents any other buttons to be pressed. When I want to use the phone I can press the left hard key that corresponds with the left soft key and that turns on the phone and unlocks it with one button push. This set up gives me one button off/on and all other keys and the screen is locked from accidental button pushes. Now I just wished that Devicelock would shut off the phone after 10 seconds if not unlocked. Right now my phone is in my pocket and if I accidentally push any button other then the left hard key my screen will turn on in a locked state and time out only after 1 minute if no other buttons are pressed. I would like it to turn back off faster.
BTW Thanks Matt
Not an app but it can be done with registry tweaking:
[It involves modifying registry keys so beware].
Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
In here there are a bunch of keys named Dtmf which represent all the keypad keys [0-9, #, *]
Rename Standard DWORD parameter Sound to Sound1
Create new String Parameter Sound
Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
Save and exit, test it, then go back and do the same for all your keys, sorted.
A .cab for this?
Is there a .cab floating around for these reg settings?
It would be a great contribution to the community if someone could whip up a cab to make these reg changes ;-)
Wow, now that was usefull. I had installed some small prog to do the same, but it didn't work great. It wouldn't vibrate unless you pressed for a more than 250 ms. This mod vibrates immediately! Thanks!
someone should tell Kaisertweaks that that needs to go in

Thanks Gizmo!
I love this place. Where would WinMo be without xda-developers???
Any chance you could upload the .cab directly instead of zipped? For some reason it won't extract on my tilt and I can't get to a PC tonight.
Thanks again.
Sure thing, here you go
Installed and it is working great. This is really a great tweak!
aren't dtmf tones what are used for things like voicemail and such? like "press 7 to delete" it recognizes the sound? does this affect that at all?
I don't think this tweak has any effect on dtmf tones. I just tried my VM and everything worked as usual.
strange...i installed this on my tilt (htc rom) and when i touched a button there was no vibrate, until about 5 seconds later, it was delayed i guess, and after that i never felt another vibrate, even after a few resets.
bump.
would like to get this working.
Will this make it beep and vibrate or just vibrate? It would be cool it it could do both at once!. Also, maybe post cab to revert back to just the sound in case anyone wants to change it back?
Mikeeey,
Try holding the number down a little longer. If you just touch it, it will display the number but not vibrate.. I had the same trouble also.
I do appreciate the afford, but shouldnt it just work when it notices a keypress, not a long keypress.
You have to hold it for a little time. Thats how it works

That's how the cab file works. But when I did the registry edits as listed in the 2nd post, then it is an immediate vibrate. I used to use the cab file version. I removed that and went with the direct reg edits. Now it vibrates immediately.

thanks for pointing that out dalewinterstein, it works for me now.
i did the manual reg edit to try and make it respond faster but it doesnt, actually the keys lighting up after being pressed dont respond fast enough to my presses, does this happen for anyone else? i mean if i hold it just a bit longer it will light up and vibrate but im normally faster than that.
IS there a small piece of software to remap the softkeys on the home screen in TF3D? There are several useful functions that could be placed on the home screen other than the default Phone/Programs. I've tried using the Remap Softkeys for WM5 but obviously that doesn't work with TF3D, and I don't want to disable Touchflow just to get altered keys.

try this
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Thanks very much - worked a treat!
I'm trying to remap my softkeys on the People page. I want FunContact as my primary contact manager launchable from that page... cant seem to get it done with the technique used here... I had to create a new key for it but still nothing after soft reset
any help would be GREAT! Thanks

i second that!!!
default contact is hard to use and scrolling is suck!
Try this link, it has more info about remapping soft keys in Manilla (TF3D) and also (TF2D)

or the whole thread which has other good info.

Hope this works for you!
so this is for the right soft key:
TouchFlo 3D right softkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
what do i put in the open "open" part so i can have my contacts open? and for the text to i just set it as "Contacts"?

its Windows/AppButtons/Contacts.lnk
I can't get it to work
Okay ... I've read all the post that I could find about changing the softkeys and nothing seems to work. I've changed the registry settings as indicated but still no go. I have the TMO TP2. I only want to change the home page so don't need anything fancy. Been updating the registry settings (HomeLSKText, HomeLSKpath, HomeLSKArguments) and can't get it to actually do anything (the text changes). What I want todo is to jump to the Contacts HTC page (really anything other than the Camera - why TMO did you make it Camera?). Any help would be great. Thanks.
Hi
I've downloaded the most recent Fitaly but I cant get simple word completion working.
The phone keypad and compact qwerty do give me normal word completion.
The others such as full querty, keyboard and fitaly don't.
I have tried all the settings available but so far no joy.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me
Thanks, Dean
A quick bump so this doesn't disappear into the forum depths.
I'd really like to solve this as I need word completion.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks,Dean

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to registry changes. What would be best to use for this - total commander or memmaid ( I have both)?
Is there anything to watch out for or is it pretty much follow your nose?
Thanks, Dean
Thanks a heap Manny - you're a fricken genius. Changed the value as you suggested and hey presto, I'm in action again
Once again xda proves to be an invaluable resource - many thanks.
Cheers, Dean
I have Fitaly 5.0 installed in my HTC Diamond. I can use it to enter lower case letter without any problem. However, it just can't enter the capital letter that I press, no matter I press the CAP key to show the upper case keyboard first or when choosing a sentence with some upper case letter in it from the popup menu.
All the upper case letter are displayed as a lower case letter.
For example when I enter “aBC”, it will display “abc” on the screen.
Hello everyone,
Is there any way (a registry hack, I guess) to disable vibrate when dialling numbers using the phone keypad? I have not been able to find it anywhere yet. Those short vibrations are -- in my opinion -- useless and only drain the battery...
Any help would be much appreciated.

Dear Hakim,
I am afraid that the mentioned registry hack, i.e.:
Using Resco Registry, go to Hkey Local Machine / Software / HTC / ezsip
Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.
then Soft reset and enjoy!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
is of no use to me, because the string "VibrationEnabled" has already been present and held the value of zero. I believe this disables vibration related to the usual keyboard, not the phone keypad I am concerned with.
Anyway, thank you for your response.
Have a nice day,

I think there is no hardware keyboard in any variant of Diamond2. Are you sure it has one?
If you are looking for onscreen keypad vibration: Go to settings tab - personalize - Vibration: and you have check box to de-select.
Dear TD2IN,
You are right, there is no HW keyboard in Diamond2. However, there are several software keyboards, e.g. the usual QWERTY one (a "full" keyboard) or the phone keypad (similar to keypads on older cell phones with letters "a", "b" and "c" on 2, letters "d", "e" and "f" on 3, etc.). Disabling vibration upon pressing a key on the QWERTY software keyboard is easy and can be done (as you wrote) in Settings -> Personal -> Input -> ...
However, I am concerned with disabling vibration for the phone keypad (used primarily for entering phone numbers in the phone application) which cannot be done at the same place as disabling vibration for the QWERTY keyboard.
Have a great day.
nvx
I will also like to know this if you find solution.
thanks.
