HTC Touch Pro Tweaks

August 28th, 2008 Posted in Hacks, Tweaks and Tricks

Boost TFL3D Performance –> Using Advanced Config, change File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072
Tested and works a treat. TF3D is sluggish and prone to long pauses before tweak, much faster afterwards

Boost TFL3D Performance –> HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and change key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768
Much quicker than number 1 on it’s own, now stonkingly fast.

Wake Up on New SMS –> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <– set to “1″ by default. Change value to “0″
The Raphael (and the diamond on 1.93) now ring and vibrate for incoming SMS, so this is not really necessary, but will turn the screen on if that’s what you want (I personally don’t).

Switch Mute Call on phone flipped face down: HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE : FaceDownMuteRing: change value to “0″
Working correctly

Boost TFL3D Scrolling Speed –> – HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 or 32768 (DWORD decimal)
- To change it back to the default: – HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
Did this using schaps advanced config and it does not seem to make any difference whatsoever.

Prevent screen switching off during phone call –> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs) Doesn’t work
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0 Doesn’t work
These failed to work individually and also when applied as a pair. No use on this Raphael ROM.
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\FastDormancyRule=0 doesn’t work either.

Set HTC Album X button to close not minimize: ok_minimize change value to 0
Not needed any more. When task manager is set to close programs with the x button, album shuts correctly. Youtube on the other hand, doesn’t.

Disable Enlarged Title bar (when you click on a notification) to the default WM behavior: HKLM->Software->HTC->EnlargeTitleBar – and change “Enable” from 1 to 0.
Not needed any more. Start>settings>system>touchflo. Untick Show system status screen when status icons are tapped

Turn off startup aninmation and sound: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ -> rename both “StartupGif” and “StartupWav” to other names
Works, but does not speed up boot time.

Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value “enabled” from 0 to 1
Works

Another supposed TFL3D tweak for better performance: HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:
SpeedHigh: default value (25) <– Change to (5) / SpeedLow : default value (70) <– Chnge to (14) save and soft reset
No difference that I noticed, but no adverse affects either.

Adjust screen sensitivity: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold
Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal

Works fine. Can also be done in Schaps advanced config.

More Camera Modes:
To Enable ‘Burst’: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6 -> change the value “enabled” from 0 to 1
Works. Keep button pressed down to take more pictures

To Enable ‘Sport’: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8 -> change the value “enabled” from 0 to 1

Works. Takes 5 pictures in quick succession

To Enable ‘Video Share’: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 -> change the value “enabled” from 0 to 1
Works

Enable HSUPA:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AdvancedNetwork\SupportHSUPA =change it to 1
Already enabled, so no need for this.

Remove orphan icons and shortcutshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/show…97&postcount=3
Erm, why not just delete them in File explorer for F***s sake??

Four icons in a row in WM Programs/Settings screens – http://forum.xda-developers.com/show…4&postcount=16
Works a treat and looks pretty good too!

Remove Vertical and Horizontal Scrollbars
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Slight graphical distortion at the edge of the screen, but they are gone.

Disable SMS Conversation in WM 6.X
In Registry Editor: Create a folder named “OEM” in “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Se ttin gs”
In the new “OEM” folder, make a new DWORD key called “SMSInboxThreadingDisabled” and give it a value of “1″

OEM folder already exists, and adding the key to this folder works a treat, although any messages already in the system are lost. Back them up using something like PIM backup first.

    No.@ – the “stnkingly fast” improvement for TF3D….I get to FATFS and then what do I do? I see under FATFS two more folders named ENCFilt and HTCSFILTER. Do I create a new key or something?

    [...] the XDA Dev Forums, you probably won’t see anything new here, but in case you don’t, Pocket Hacks has compiled a little list of hacks for the HTC Fuze. Here are just a couple to get you started. [...]

    I installed the Advanced Config cab as well as NET Framework 3.5, but get an error when I try to launch AdvancedConfig. The error test is as follows:

    AdvancedConfig.exe
    Exception
    at
    Microsoft.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr()
    at
    System.Windows.Forms.ImageList..ctor()
    at AdvancedConfig.

    After that, there are square characters and it repeats 3x.

    Anyone else have this issue?

  11. Rosh Says:

    Does anybody know what is the default value for HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr

    I accidentaly changed it instead of changing HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 0

    thanks in advance.



  12. Rosh Says:

    Does anybody have the default values for
    HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr
    HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr
    HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr

    Please help thank you.



  13. Hillbilly Says:

    Unbelievable amount of bloatware from AT&T and no way to get rid of it other than the hard reset process. This is just silly, why can’t I just uninstall the demo version of Ms PacMan if I don’t want it?
    Urrrgh.

  18. susan Says:

  19. susan Says:

    i feel so ignorant to all of this, can someone just do it all for me? did get the registry editor tho, i always wondered what the ‘hkey’ wss all about. thx for the grear info



  20. TallJason Says:

    GPSPhoto Hack does NOT work on Verizon VX6850 even with the |||Bored||| GPS hack that unlocks GPS on verizon device. The photos are taken and the phone believes it has a GPS lock but it does not actually save anything but 0’s to the GPS information the EXIF headers. The only thing in the GPS section that is not ZEROs is the GPS time. I have tried multiple custom roms but not been able to make this work on the Verzion device.



  21. Jonas Says:

    Prevent screen switching off during phone call

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight:LightSensorToScreenOff

    default is 5 = 5 seconds

    I used Ceregeditor to fix this.

    http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/

    I’ve set mine to 60 seconds. This will give me enough time to navigate through voicemail without the screen goes off.



  22. frk Says:

    I tried to download both free registry edit programs and get and .xml file and 2 others how do I get it to install on the phone? im really new at this did get the .net thing installed.



  23. ibav Says:

    thanks for putting this together – very useful.



  24. Mr. Brooks Says:

    In response to the error “unable to find settings folder” just extract the advanced config to your memory card. This worked for me
