Way to alter menu sizes...? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development

Hi all,
I'm not sure what its called, but you know the context menus that come up basically whenever you hold your pointer over something for a while? It annoys me with the size they are in wm6.5. I love the speed of wm6.5 (tried both xplode's r7 (about to install 7.1...) and swampy's rls) but it really annoys me that they've made everything so big. Seems to take twice as long to do simple things now because now you have to scroll down menus to find what you're looking for. Is there anyway to bring this back to the good old "classic" sizes? I can't seem to find an option anywhere... and I realise loading a skinning app is just going to slow the OS down making the whole upgrade to 6.5 kinda pointless.
Also, does anyone know a way to speed up the actual time taken to register a tap and hold command? So that we don't have to spend as long to bring up the context menus?
Thanks in advance~

that's a lot of questions. let me start with saying that i can not guarantee you, that the reg tweaks work. i found them for different devices and checked both my devices and didn't have the reg keys in there. so i don't knoiw if it helps you. Maybe, if i find out more, i'll post it later:
1. The size of the context and softkey menus:
a. the easiest way to influence the size and look of those menus would be, installing another theme. not just the color will change, but also the entire looks, so if you have a .tsk theme, copy it to the device and activate it, you will see it changed.
b. regitry tweak:
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\Popfnt\
there should be two dword values that you can change to whatever you like.
ht=height is default set to 1000
wt=width is default set to 700
2. a skinning app is gonna slow down the os
- true, with wm6.5 there is really no need for anything else to make the graphics any nicer
3. tap and hold time:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay
right-click, select properties, and enter a value from zero to 999 milliseconds
if that value, does not exist, create it (string value)
if those values didn't work, you should try out advanced config, which can be downloaded here: http://www.pocketpc.ch/news/42529-freeware-advanced-config-3-0-a.html
there you have more than 200 tweaks for the os and don't need to search the registry for any values.

first off, a big thank you for the speediness of your reply.
i tried out the other tsk files i have... but unfortunately i don't have any older ones from wm5/6, only the newer 6.5 ones. they didn't seem to make much difference in size of anything... only the actual colour/font schemes. if you have any older tsk files that you wouldn't mind uploading, that'd be much appreciated as something to try.
the softkeys aren't so much an issue - i've got wisbar to disable them (yes yes, i know wisbar is a skinning app... but i prefer a nice cascading start menu to something i need to fumble through to find stuff any day) - its more the context menus that are annoying me.
the registry edit is interesting. changing the height and width actually also changes the zoom on the font size... i'm not sure how this is being calculated, but the font is clearly getting smaller the smaller you set the dimensions. it seems like its taking a predefined box with the text designed to take up a predefined percentage of it and then letting you put in the dimensions of the box... basically so that no matter what numbers you plug in, you'll always have the rather annoying amount of space being wasted between items in the context menus. though all that said and done, 750 for height and 350 for width are far more workable than the previous settings. more than legible too imo~
the tap and hold time tweak worked wonderfully
thanks again~

Tap and Hold time delay Setting
I found your post ref to Tap and Hold delays. I tried this Tap and Hold setting you said worked on your phone (see below) I tried it as shown below on a HTC wm 6.5 HTC pure(diamond2), and did not see a change, were you able to shorten the delay? Is that done with a String? or Dword?
3. tap and hold time:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Desktop\MenuShowDelay
right-click, select properties, and enter a value from zero to 999 milliseconds
if that value, does not exist, create it (string value).
I have spent hours searching the registry for a solution

it was a dword iirc... tbh, this hasn't been so much of an issue for me with the newer releases so i haven't bothered so much.

If you still need themes for wm6.1, try http://www.wm6themes.com/
I use one from that site on my BA, but since i don't have wm6.5 installed right now, i can't tell you whether it'll help in your situation or not.

Re's Launcher & Slider Fix

I've been looking around, but did not find any fix for Re's launcher and slider. The original executable files we're using the system time (i.e. Greenwich meridean time) for the clock. So if your country is not located at 0.00 hours, the time will be all whacked out.
So I had to do it on my own! Here is the "fixed" executable files using Local time instead. I did not do any other modification. This is not my program and do not take credit for any of it, I just changed the time.
Get the complete files from here http://rychlicki.net/en/2007/04/01/174/
Then replace the executable files with mine. Hope you enjoy!
It works. I only have to do the WM2003 regfix and change most of the links
Can't find the options using PHM regeditor
Note : WM2003 manual workaround
2. Create string key "Current Operator Name" and provide your operator name
3. Create dword key "Signal Strength Raw" and give decimal value "100"
This will show the operator name you provided and signal strenght always 100%
This software is very old now. There are lots of other options currently available that provides a better "iPhone" look. Check these forums, they're two of the best:

smart touch key repeat rate

Hey
I'm trying to get the HP iPaq 614c in a usable state....what I'm finding is that the Smart-Touch scroll wheel is great, nice and quick and you can be productive.
But, because it is only one way (up <-> down), and because it usually functions as the equivalent of a "tab" key press (if on a PC) you can't use it for moving around in a text block.
You have to use the up down left right method by hovering over 5, then moving your thumb in the appropriate direction...however, the repeat rate on this is slow slow slow......
Its enough to not make me keep the 614c because it means editing SMSs or emails or even just random text fields like URLs is painful, particularly when you make a mistake.
Does anyone know any registry fields to change this?
I've tried the accessible settings in Settings > Buttons > Up/Down Control but they have no effect.
Thanks!
Si
yes i would be interested in this too.
I've searched the registry but couldn't fnd anything applicable. I found one key which was reported in another forum, but it had no effect.
WAY NOT TAP (WITH FINGER) ON THE AREA AND THEN MOVE L/R
I THINK YOU NEED TO HAVE "SLOW" MOVMENT FOR SOME APPS/FILES
well that is why I do, like you say. I guess slow movement may be useful for some things.
When you're in the middle of a text message or email though, it can take days to scroll through a message.
Its also very hard to pinpoint the cursor to the right area with out using the stylus (i.e. with your finger nail).....
...part of the beauty of the 614c for me is the phone keypad which allows T9 input (T9 input being super fast compared to any qwerty input with two fingers), but when you can't edit the message very easily it becomes annoying.
Im sorry to say that I don’t know/suffer from your prob
not that I do want problems, but the thing is that all text is within the bounds of the screen (for me on long doc/mail....) so the only need for fast thing is up down
maybe you have a different setting that lets you see "out of the screen" ~ the need for fast L/R scrolling
as for ie tx9 I don’t use this method so ….. I disabled the default settings of having it on first thing
for ie address I use pie-plus app ,it has within it's settings option for quick words/address and finger scrolling or open more then one tab etc.
but you asked so I will give you the solution
please backup your device
open a reg edit like this free one
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
then go to HKLM/software/tegic/et9/ime
tap on D-WORD "carrierDefaultTextMode"
set value from "0" to "1"
enjoy
for l/r scrolling, what i'm talking about is when you're editing a text message or an email, they can get quite long. so say you're editing a message, then you realise you need to add a word at the start or edit a word in the middle, it takes ages to scroll to the middle or the beginning using the l/r scrolling on the smart touch wheel....and when i say ages, i mean ages, at least compared to how quickly it works on the smartphones with a hard nav joystick/wheel.
it has nothing to do with whether you can see the text on the screen. its to do with moving the caret/cursor/pointer around within the text.
thanks for that registry entry...i did try it, but it made no difference. IE still uses abc method.
i may look at that pie-plus ting though, looks like it may help.

works for me
did you save the reg by "exit " turn off the device for 10 sec then SR ?
any way i will also try to look into the scroll....
it changes the default method for applications like Internet Explorer for you? not just SMS composing?
I'll try it again...
hey yeah
that did work, thanks!! (making the default mode actually work as default in all circumstances)
i just typed it wrong.
told you so i will also look into the wheel thing im now into helping with this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403736

more option etc. mainly 4 ipaq 600
hmmmm.....do you know how to make that keyboard fix work even when you install a 3rd party keyboard.
I was trying to install a finger friendly keyboard for the times when you have to type in passwords or other such delicates, but if i do that after having made that modification it loses it as the default.

Enlarged start menu - tips and help!

Hi, I'm in need of a working "enlarged start menu"-application on my SE X1. The thing is that I really much need it to be freeware, and I suppose that "XDA-Team Enlarged Start Menu" isn't (correct?). I'm thinking about developing the application myself, but I would like to know if anyone here has any information about where to start? Is is just a matter of changing some registry keys? XML-files? Thankful for all the help i can get!
as far as i understand, the XDA Enlarged Start Menu is just taken from one of the other HTC devices and is not "payware" or anything like that.
if anyone was developing an enlarged Start Menu, i'd love to see a kinda fullscreen version, this would make it much easier to navigate. kinda in the style of iContact or the latest volume control taken from Diamond. i don't really se why the start menu needs to be only a percentage of the screen size anyway, just seems like bad design, they've made it look like the Start Menu on a Windows Desktop PC so that we all know it's Windows, but have not actually thought about the interface being user friendly for a handheld device. for drunk people with fat fingers. like me.

yes man, I absolutely agree !!! It´s funny, I never really thought about start menu, but now when I read your suggestion it just seems really crazy how much possibilities for improvement there are.
I thought about a completely customizable start menu, fullscreen.
Maybe with a kind of plugin system, volume / vib toggle, backlight strength slider, power off+soft-reset buttons....*sigh* THAT would be cool !

Martin
What about Touch Launcher http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433862
It´s a normal app, but I was talking about a REAL replacement. It should hide when I tap "Start" again, and, as I said, it should be really customizable.
To all devs out there: Is anyone interested in coding such an app ? I think this is desperatly needed to make WM a bit more usable, although there are already tons of good software out there.

Martin

hmmm, main thing i want is fullscreen. that one seems nice feature-wise, but it's not what i'm after.
devs, do any of you know how they changed the size of the Start Menu from the old style to the new enlarged one?
if we know how to do this then maybe we can hack the existing app to at least lengthen right across the width of the screen... or if it was hacked with a config we could pick how many items we wanted...
this could be a great project for the coders!

Well, quickmenu is _almost_ perfect. If it only was more finger-friendly. Being able to scroll trough menus like in icontact and all so many other apps would be great for it, but at least having twice as big menu entries would be enough in most cases. It has all the features needed, it just mimicks the original start menu a bit too much
Touch menu from touch commander suite is exactly what you want,and it has and application menu enlarged. Unfortunaly its not freeware.
Here is little something about system fonts:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901091.aspx
By changing some registry values you can change size of start menu (including font size etc.) and popup menu as well.

Ohh thankyou! But, using PHM Regedit I've tried changing the Ht-value for BarFnt, which didn't do anything. Perhaps you have some pointers to what I should try?

BarFnt values are for menu bars (for example: bottom bar in total commander).
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt
is for popup menu (screen 1 shows Ht value of 1200)
Truly, I don't know how to change start menu font size via registry.
If you want to have full screen menu try mort buttons
can you launch mort buttons by tapping Start on the screen?
maybe by editing the registry ?
If anyone can duplicate the Touch Commander one it would be perfect. I have touchcommander but do not use it anymore, unfortunately you have to install the whole program to be able to use the Large menu option.
The great thing about it is it enlarges menus in all programs.
Sorry for bringing up an older thread, but I think this is still unsolved!
I also would like to have a fullscreen start menu. I tried quickmenu 2.8,but it just isnt what Im looking for. For me it would be fine if clicking on the start menu would bring up a dialog like when you click startmenu -- programs.
Hope that someone has an idea!
QUICKMENU 2.8 for me too... ^_^
I'd only add that scroll movement and ability to customize the start icon (it already does this, but only with one icon).

One nice tweak for the Xperia

The menues in like Outlook are incredible small, use this tweak from the Diamond tweak thread to make them more finger friendly
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\gwe\menu\popfnt
and change the value for the "Ht" entry to "1000" decimal
Now I just need to change the startmenu for it is also incredible small - and the HTCenlargestartmenu cab available makes the start menu funny on Swedish OS. In English OS I am sure it will work fine and it also sets the menues bigger like in the regtweak above
Cheers! This is just the sort of thing we'll need once we start getting our X1's :]
You can make it a lot easier if you use SK-Tools. You can make a lot of changes including the font-sizes. No need for manual changes and it has a set-back-function, if I remember well. I used it for my G900 too, which has WVGA too at the same size

Start sk-tools, then tune-up, then got through the tabs at the bottom to fonts or so (after colours, sorry, I have the german version and don't know the english names), there the 8. point is menu-bar-font-size (or so). Play here and you see the start-menu grow But remember, it needs a softreset to get the new settings!

What do you mean with the size of the start menu? If you make the font bigger, the start menu, using this font, gets bigger too. I have tried it and got a start menu up to nearly the width of the screen (much too big).

Attention: Found Unusual Registry within T-Mobile USA HD2!

I was just viewing various system registry... and came across some keys that I've never before noticed in the past.
They really aren't too outlandish, but I'm wondering if folks are interested in "testing" what exactly these registry edits "do" in terms of whether or NOT they are enhancements or NOT much of anything.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MAKE ALTERATIONS TO THE SYSTEM REGISTRY IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH ADVANCED WINDOWS MOBILE CAPABILITIES!
Now, having said all of that... here are a few of those interesting "tweaks" I've come across:
1.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd: WM7KeybdLayout - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... perhaps if "enabled" by using "1" as the replacement value, something "cool" may happen.
2.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch: Disabled - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... and I'm not entirely sure what this COULD allow your system to do, but it may be "cool" also.
3.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Performance: Available RAM on boot - "327274496"
By default this registry value is LIST ABOVE, and perhaps editing this value, and making it larger could allow for a more "hasty" booting process.
4.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\WebSnapShot: Enabled - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... but I'm wondering if this will allow for some kind of built-in screen shot function to "snap" thumbnail images of your online browsing history. Assumed value to "enable" it, should be "1".
5.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell: AnalogClock - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... so I figure changing this value to "1" might "create" some kind of analog clock on for Manila.
6.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell: HasKeyboard - "0"
By default this registry value is ZERO... and to be quite honest, this seems pretty obvious that it will "allow" or display the keyboard somewhere on the "shell" of your device. Assumed value to "enable" it, should be "1".
7.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight
This ENTIRE key has some pretty interesting settings that can be adjusted for advanced or unseen backlight settings.
8.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\AllLEDMgr
Here is the key in which you can adjust the LED settings such as interval.
9.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Audio\SoftwareMixer: SampleRate - "268435456"
The default value is listed above, but my query involves whether or not tampering with this could resolve the "audio delay" for some users.
10.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Power
Here is the key in which you can adjust the values to be labeled for battery power settings. HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW. The percentage before the system provides a warning can be changed.
11.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Display
Here is the key in which you will find a majority of your advanced display settings for your device.
12.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Qualcomm\DSM
Here is the key in which I believe you might find another possible solution for the audio delay, considering one of the string values is "250" as a file queue setting.
13.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\USBtoPC
Here is the key in which you'll find the way to REMOVE or otherwise disable the "popup" window that appears whenever you connect your device via USB to a desktop PC.
14.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\MASD
THIS KEY, THIS KEY RIGHT HERE FOLKS... this is VERY important for those of you who are trying to figure out what "official" version number of specific services is currently installed on your device.
15.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\OEM Links\T-Mobile Help - "0"
Enabling this key by changing the value to "1" should provide for a direct system link to the T-Mobile support network for the HD2. This is very similar to the Microsoft error reporting services.
16.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Calendar: ShowLunarCalendar - "0"
By enabling this, you should be able to have the Lunar Calendar displayed within the HTC system calendar... among other things. Assumed value to "activate" this should be "1".
17.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome
Here is where you'll find a laundry list of options to make changes to the original WM6.5, "Titanium".
18.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Pictures\ImageSendSize
Here is where you'll find 3 sub-keys that contain resolution values that can be altered in order to provide a "bigger picture" for MMS or uploads.
19.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image
This key will open up a list of options that will allow you to change various settings for image capture and resizing.
20.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas
In this key you'll find options that will allow you to make changes to the picture size for contacts.
21.) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE
Here are more device settings for in-call and beyond.
ENJOY!
Oh, and don't hesitate to leave a bit of feedback. Thanks.
I am patiently waiting for you to try these and update the post.
I sure as heck don't plan to "play" with my registry
As soon as the store calls to tell me that mine is *FINALLY* in, I'll be happy to test some of those out. As long as you back up your registry before you do anything (and aren't afraid of a Hard Reset as a last resort), there shouldn't be any issue trying these...any of the changes you make can be reversed that way.

Agreed fellas. This stuff seems interesting. I haven't played with these listed items just yet. I was so exhausted last night while skimming through tons and tons of registry keys... that I may have gotten a little desperate to post this rather than test each one.
Some are just useful tips, but others I have not before seen on the EURO model of the HD2. For instance, the WM7 keyboard... that's rather curious, huh?
5 - puts tiny analog clock where digi clock is by battery
6 - for phones with hardware keyboards
14 - can change that to fake any system info you like
18 - doesnt necessarily work. best way ive yet to find to fix the small mms size on some networks is the mms userprofile tweak that reports it as a diamond, and the mms useragent as a nokian95. (I can tfind the link, sorry)
3.) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Performance: Available RAM on boot - "327274496"
By default this registry value is LIST ABOVE, and perhaps editing this value, and making it larger could allow for a more "hasty" booting process.
When I looked I had a lower value, "281640960". I increased it to "327274496" startup seems a bit faster, not much. I'm gonna try increasing it later. On another note, slide to unlock seems to be faster. Of course this could all be in my head.

This looks suspiciously like overclocking to me. If it is, I doubt that the S2U being faster is in your head...
Are you sure that "on boot" only means during the bootup process and not the original RAM available before the processes kick in?

What's weird though is that the value keeps changing, on every boot it's a different value. On the last boot, it was 280760320.

Then it just about has to be a record and not reference value. Shoulda known it wouldn't be that easy

5 - puts tiny analog clock where digi clock is by battery
6 - for phones with hardware keyboards
14 - can change that to fake any system info you like
18 - doesnt necessarily work. best way ive yet to find to fix the small mms size on some networks is the mms userprofile tweak that reports it as a diamond, and the mms useragent as a nokian95. (I can tfind the link, sorry)

Thanks for the reports.
And yeah, I noticed that as well... yet my value is always relatively in the same demographic in terms of "high" or "low".
But yes, it is some "lowbrow" version of overclocking, but as far as I know... it only pertains to the RAM available during and shortly thereafter a booting process is complete. It's like tweaking the allocated resources that "HTC Sense" used each time it booted up.
Awesome find. looking forward to what will be unconvered
I have a few friends skimming the registry keys day n' night as well... it's just very, very exhausting to read thousands of lines of coding.
I doubt I'll be updating the OP with tons of additions, but I'll certainly add to it, should something reasonably decent come to my attention.
I would like to add something that also seems interesting
HKLM/System/Autoupdate: 0 <-- I wonder what 1 does.. I just set to 1, will update as i hopefully receive updates
PS: I'm not sure if its this that caused this, but my phone just locks on slide to unlock.. As soon as i try unlocking the screen turns off.
