Opening Messages - opens at BOTTOM of message?!

Anyone else? Open a message (any type) and it opens at the bottom of the message, so that I can't see the message or who it's from without scrolling up. It's annoying!
Also, if I use the D-pad to scroll through the messages, each message opens up in the same manner - at the bottom.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks,
FrankyG

You posted the exact same question over on MoDaCo - and I answered it, so here's the exact same answer again
This is/was a common problem on the Hermes / TyTn I - but only if you'd installed a "tweak" utility like HTweakC or PimpMyBlack. There is a registry key (see below) that needs to be set to a value of 1 in order to prevent the auto-scroll-to-end in messages etc. The only downside to setting it to 1 is that you can't then scroll around pages in PIE using the D-Pad, you've got to use the stylus.
Code:
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav = 1
If you've got the stock ROM on your TyTn II, then this may be the default setting; if you've flashed or installed tweaks, then this behaviour may be the result of that.......
HTH,
Mark.

Thanks for the reply , twice
Can anyone with a stock TyTN confirm what the default registry setting is?

hi,
i think it was just because there are some settings, when you can move mail attachments to the storage card. do not do that, i think this is main problem why msg are messed up after aplication this tweak.. anyway, i followed Mark Crouch's help and it works, so exported fixed registry and save for future usage

HTC HOME - day of the week

how do we get the day of the week to show on the htc home screen?
I use to ba able to do it with pimp my black on the 8525 by adding "dddd" in front.

anyone know the registry for this function

Agreed - This would be handy!!

I haven't found anything in the registry for this, the date displayed in the HTC Home Plugin appears to be hardcoded to use the "short date" formating.

HKLM/nls/overrides/SSDte
add ",ddd" at the end of the string.

Universal owner with Homeplug...
Hi,
I don't have a Kaiser but I'm running the homeplug on a Universal and I'd just like to know what the string is before the ",ddd" in your registry . For some reason it doesn't recognise dd/mm/yy it just displays the day 05/mm/07, Mon.
Thanks.
Edit : Don't worry figured it out it has to be dd/MM/yy or dd/MM/yyyy then space or , "ddd" (3 letter day) or can be "dddd" (Full day name)

For short day and month as shown here:
HKLM/nls/overrides/
Change SLDte and SSDte to: ddd, MMM dd, yyyy

Maybe it's too early but I have no keys in \HKLM\nls\overrides\
would manually creating the keys work? what are the values/names etc. if so?
Thanks - this is exactly what I've been looking for if it works!
EDIT: Using AT&T Tilt

Go into your Regional settings and change the date format, it will create those registry keys for you to edit afterwards.

Manually creating the keys works:
\HKLM\nls\overrides\SLDte (Format: string) Value: dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
and
\HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte (Format: string) Value: dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
(or choose the type of date you want)

i removed the ", yyyy" as i think the year is not necessary and it was messing up my call history.
the part that shows the date of the call was too long and was cutting off the name/number of the caller. removing the year shortens it a bit and minimizes the problem.
thanks again for this tweak!

I found using SSDt2 as "ddd, M/d/yy" is a good compromise and only interferes with call hsitory when the caller's name is very long.

Thanks this works perfect on my Touch Cruise, there was so much information on the HTC home screen, except day!! This solved it.

How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!

I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in

Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.

i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

Right soft key

Hi i have a kaiser on Uk orange. the right soft key says 'Go To ...' ttry as i may i can not change it at all. i have tried FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx, Key swop, Advanced Config and even editing the registry at Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\today\keys\113 (where they have two extra keys called 'mem1' and 'mem2'.) however whichever method i try the key always resets itself back to 'Go To'
Does anyone have any ideas how i can try and change it at all?
Cheers

Thats strange, I always use advanced config for that and its working like a charm.

if youur on orange chances are youve got that crappy side bar on. go to settingsstart - settings - today - go to the second tab laballed ITEMS then untick the orange item. when you go back to your today screen contacts should be on the right

Yeah that did it cant believe how long it has taken to find that out, however is there any way i can get the sidebar back (not necessarily that one but an alternate one) as its really useful to have that stuff on the screen.

About the HTC Home, no I dont have it in my corner. I have some modified Diamon style tweaked for some of the dialers but havent made a cab of it since there is floating several around in here already. I might whanna have a go skinning one if I come up whit a kewl idea though. I am working on a SPB Theme atm (well not now, vacation atm. But will continue that project once back home), after that I have planned to make a cab/guide whit a nice theme for ultimatelaunch. And I also have promised a icon pack and some animations and on top of that I am eager to get back and work whit Leo on future projects. So it is kinda tight program for hobby timeline, but if you got a certain wish you could request it in my corner and who knows what happends from there and out

cool. it was just to show edblack in the right direction

"slide down for more options"

Hello, im using miri 8.1 premium and i want to remove the "slide down for more options" when i make a call... is this possible??

+1 i hate it!

+1, i really don't like it

yes! Me too, it is the most useless junk ever thought by the HTC ppl! It is annoying, please someone please help us remove it!

And why don't you ask miri for it in is thread instead opening a new one???

Because its not just in Miri's rom, its in more or less all of them now

I want it back to my ROM badly. where is the cab?

i also do not need it, and would like to know how to turn it off

+1.
Its a pain to mute/un-mute during conf calls with this on.
Anyone?

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.

Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I must admit the Topaz dialer (as nice as it may look) sux! What was wrong with the standard HTC HD dialer? it supported landscape and was functional.

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?

thanks man it helped
