Installing "Long Press End - Quick List" - XPERIA X1 General

Hello,
I have installed a WM 6.5 Rom on my Xperia and now I want to install the HTC Long press end key feature that displays a quicklist.
I've already installed the .cab and configured it but when i press the end key the phone locks and doesn't display the quick list as expected.
Do i need to change something in the registry to make this happen?
Please let me know...
Thanks.

I second this request.
It very practical and important for me to be able to swith between vibrate and sound, the x1 doesn't have this option by default and even after installing the cab it does not work.
The only time that it worked fine was with smaberg's ROM.
Does anyone knows how to fix this?

How to stop screen on when new sms arrives?

Hi every one.
So i set "button lock" and also disable mainly all notifications but every time a new sms arrives,the screen goes on.I will like to keep the screen off because if you carry your magician in your pocket and after that sms arrives,you can accidentaly press any button or even touch the screen.
I been checking every thing i could check but i can´t find the answer about this problem.
Thanks in advance.
Third party software Pocket Zen Phone or phoneAlarm.
Ok i´ll check it and see what i can do.
Cheers mate.

There are many occasions the Magician turns on its screen. Rather than trying to find and disable all these, I copied TPDisable.exe and TPEnable.exe from the original Extended ROM into my Program Files folder, and then assigned them to a hardware key (using Hotbutton, so that I can use the same key for both).
As the name implies, TPDisable disables the touchscreen (not the display!), and TPEnable re-enables it. So, before I put my Magician into my pocket, I now disable the touchscreen (one press of a button). That still leaves the keys active, true, but I found that normally the touchscreen is much more likely to be the culprit when strange things happen on your Magician while it's in the pocket, and turned itself on.

@ tadzio
Well,that is a very interesting solution,but i can´t find TPDisable.exe
or TPEnable.exe inside my magician.I need a bit more info from you
Daniel.
Thanks a lot for your replies.
What happens if you hold down power button for 2 seconds to switch off backlight? Does the light still illuminate on receipt of sms?
@ cruisin-thru
I can´t see the point of your question,mainly because the thing i am looking for is to "switch off" my Qtek like a normal mobile phone,i mince buttons locks and screen off when a new sms or incoming call arrives and when you push power button for example,then screen go on and also release the lock of the buttons.
Any one can say that then i can use deltalock.I did it but the battery live is going down very quick.
Screenlock is not working properly also,i will say that Deltalock is 95% a lot better than Screenlock.
And finally,why microsoft is developing this OS without fully screen off selectable option???. Who knows!!!
Cheers

Both programs are in the Extended ROM. Most users have made this visible (though not writable) by performing a Hard Reset, and immediately after completing the initial screen adjustment and mini-tutorial and before the device starts installing programs, a Soft Reset.
If you do not want to do a Hard Reset, search this site's FTP server for Magician Extended ROM downloads. There were a few there last time I looked.
Cheers

Well,after config hotbutton to TPDisable and TPEnable i can´t enable the screen and hardware buttons.
TPDisable is disablind the screen but also all the hardware buttons ( with and without button lock at settins),even the power button.
I use same hardware button for TPDisable and TPEnable ,is that correct or i am doing silly things?
If I arrive an sms the screen is switching on and after a few seconds switching off again if I don't press any key or tap the screen!
It's a changeable registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / System / CurrentControlSet / Control / Power /
WakeupPowerOff =12 (the default is 180)
DisableGwesPowerOff=0 (the default is 1)
If you switch on the Jam (power button) need to press some other key too, because it switches off after 12 seconds!!!

@avers
Well that is another solution but i insist that there should be an easiest way to keep the screen fully off when a new sms or what ever arrives,including hardware buttons off ofcourse.
Any suggestion more?, perhaps at the end and betwen all of us ,we can find the solution.
Cheers.
I think the best solution is third party software like PHONEALARM,
it's easiest way to get main tweaks of Pocket Windows.
get it there
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.htm
Well my friends,pocketzenphone is not doing what i am looking for.
Next step is to try phonealarm,but probably will work the same way as pocketzenphone,leting the screen to go on every time a new sms arrives.
Sorry for my languaje but F... microsoft and F... devil gates.
As you can read on this post ,phonealarm IS NOT doing it.
http://www.pocketmax.net/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=429
phonealarm has option named "Don't activate backlight on alarm"
ALARM there means any event, that needs notification.
now i am understanding, that it is some differ that you need.
also i advice you make some registry tweaks to make a very short backlite time when sms arrives.:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\WakeupPowerOff = 10
this timeout in seconds. is used when our device self power on, when SMS arrives or we push the POWER button and do nothing anymore
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\DisableGwesPowerOff = 0
this key is enables this power control system (necessarily change it, or first key will not work)
after the editing registry you need to reboot PDA.
sorry for poor english, i translate text from russian.

Thank you for your reply i will try like you and others point out and also will keep looking for that utopic soft.
deltaLock locks the screen and buttons even if you get sms or calls. I use it on my JAM and it works so far.

If you read one of my post ,you will see that i allready said that Deltalock is working but it is KILLING the battery live very fast and when i say VERY FAST it mince that you will get almost 6hours against the normal live (more than 15hours).
Cheers mate.
I think if you keep your ppc on all the time you will get this battery life. Anyway I think deltaLock is for keeping your PPC on and having screen and button lock, not having it in suspend mode and not allowing the screen to power up. Sorry about that, seem to have misunderstood your post.
Don´t worry mate, at the end we are all together trying to find a solution to this microsoft silly programing, any comment and any new idea is wellcome.
Cheers.

Touchflo and the right key

Hey guys,
I installed Touchflo on my Xperia. Works very well! But i have a problem.
The right key keeps remapping it's self back to "Today" after i start Touchflo.
I want this button to turn the display arround, but everytime i set it up, it remapps itself again after starting Touchflo.
I there a solution for this problem?
settings -> button -> map as whatever you want
what do you mean with "turn the display arround"? landscape?
In short, no solution if you have TF3D installed.
Install AWBPlus.
@guap
yes, i mean landscape.
@paroxsym
are your sure? is this a known problem?
You could start TouchFlo via MortScript.
Last lines should be
Sleep(10000)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C3","Flags",14)
and the Button gets remapped. I've got this in my Autostart folder.
Sounds complicated ^^
I hope this problem will be fixed in the coming Manila 2 landscape.
you gotta search for hd-tweak...it´s somwhere in the blackstone forum...i got it on my xperia, and it just works find.
softreset included
there´s the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505
In the Deveopment/Hacking forum, you can find a fix from me which works without further tweaking tools
I hope the simple trick will be used by the rom cooks in further ROMs, at least Hammamed told me he will use it

[REQ] switch off screen on WM 6.5

Hi guys!
I'm searching for an application wich can turn automaticly off my screen on call connect.
I've tried several solutions and programms, but none of them worked for my 6.5 ROM.
It really annoys me that i accidently press keys while calling. I can activate an automatic lock of the phone throught Smart Lock, but only an alternative surface appears where i press accidently keys, too.
The power button can switch off the touch screen, but it seems that after some minutes it switches on again automaticly and again i press buttons with my cheek....
It would be really really great if somebody could mention a possible solution or write a little programm to fix the problem!
Cheers and thanks alot!
Nobody got an idea?
I've tried several registry tweaks and programs like:
Touch InCall Screen Tweak
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
Touch Lock Pro
http://www.zuinigerijder.com/
but nothing affects wm 6.5....
the same here.
i've duttys r8 turbo rom and the display isn't disabled after a view seconds while doing a call.
tried to fix it by changing some values in hd tweak but without success.
is there nobody who has the same problem?
OK i've tried some more programs.
It works with the trial of PhoneAlarm! But i really dont want to use second today to run the today plugin (the program doesnt work without it), i'm using manilla.
so its possible!
anybody got a solution or knows the algorithm of phone alarm?
cheers

Need help: touchscreen keys are locked when making phone calls

I installed PhonEx right after I got my HD2 but realized that I like the clean design of the WM phone. So, I uninstalled PhonEx and got my WM phone but realized that the touchscreen keys, e.g. Keypad, End Call, etc., are locked and are not functioning. The only way for me to end the call is by pressing the red end hardkey.
Does somebody know what can be the problem? Btw, I have S2U2 also installed.
This is a similar problem when the tap time is enabled in the BsBTweaks program. I don't know the exact reg key name, but you can download the BsBTweaks, enable the tap time, close, reboot, then disable it again. I think that will work or..
I think it's this registry key - HKLM\System\GWE\Touch\Filter - I have 0 for minimumtaptime. try to change it and see if it works.

Disable Hardware Keys

Hi Folks,
I´m still looking for a way to disable the hardware-keys while the devide is in sleepmode. Only the Powerbutton should wake up the device. And also only the screen-slider should answer or dismiss an incoming call....
I cant believe that there ist still no solution for this problem....
And please dont answer me with: use s2U2 or other 3rd Party stuff... there must be an other way to do so

you have to.
I'm also interested in this. Why wake up the phone with another button then the one who put it in sleep in first place. I find it strange. Like if I put the light off in the kitchen then opened the fridge the kitchen light will come on. who would like that ???
Can someone find a solution for this I search everywhere with no satisfying result.
I newly updated my Topaz from 6.1 to 6.5.3 and I can't recall that I had this problem in 6.1 and i had 6.1 for over 1 year.
I would say that this issue has nothing with screen lock to do it's rather an issue with wake-up (What shall wake up the phone from sleeping status : a call, sms, mms, mail, hardware key, power button etc...)
Just when I decided to post my problem I found it's solution:
Set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd\DefaultKeyLock to 0.
Now nothing wakes-up the phone except the power button.
I found a cab posted also here is the link : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=246722&d=1258236796

i´ve made the changes in the registry, but still every button wakes up my device. So this "tweak" won´t work for me
Well I know after posting for about 3 - 4 hours I got the problem back myself not understanding what I have done to get the problem back. Yesterday evening I spent all night trying to figure this out. I have CHT Lock screen enable + BharS_OBOE_Lock_Disable.Cab. I need this cab because I have Huashan lockscreen built in my rom. And the cab allows me to use the CHT lock screen. To solve my problem I have done the following:
1) Disable CHT lockscreen
2) Uninstalled the Cab
3) made sure the registry setting was there and problem solved.
3.1) reinstalled the cab
3.2) enabled the CHT Lockscreen
Still working...
4) Went to power option the win 6.5 setting just to take a look (didn't change a thing)
5) Problem returned.
Start all over again to solve my problem.
For now on I'm staying out of the power option in win 6.5 setting.
There is nothing you can do there anyway until CHT lock screen come with an option for enabling password on lock.
I'm sorry I don't have any scientific explanation for this. But till now I can say I have solved my problem hope it solves yours
I'm using WWE"Topaz Roms + Kitchen"Build 23130/21914"Manila 2.5.20182814.0"(August 20th)
No, this couldn´t solve my Problems, because i use CHT 1.6.1 and this version doesn´t have any Lockscreen options.
The real Point that i can´t understand is: This is still a WinMo 6.5 Version, why is the Menue-point : Lock all buttons except Power on/off not there?
There must be a way to get this point back. I can´t belive that we have an extra written WinMo Version for the HD2...
So, where is the registry setting to get back the point?
+1000
I also hate this problem with HD2 FYI. I had already opened a post on this a few weeks back.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694109
Have your tried uninstalling CHT making sure the reg key above is set and Test ?
this needs to happen... any key to wake is just silly! and on a related point, only the on-screen slider should answer/reject an incoming call
