Hi, didn't see the following anywhere.. Did you know that you can change the background of the start menu? In the file explorer tap and hold on image file until menu pops out. Click 3rd option from the bottom. Chosen image (or at least part of it) will become background of the Start menu and also will be visible during start-up of the phone.

Another two tips

Another two tips I find useful...

1 - to get to the programs area from the HTC clock screen without using the ribbon at the bottom and if your right context menu has been assigned to something else is to flick your finger right on the middle of HTC clock screen.

2 - To stop music without having to look at your HTC when you're on your headphones is to remove the headphones and then the HTC will power on - now switch it off and it should stop. (do this in a quiet area so as not to disturb anybody with a little bit of your music :o or even use the volume buttons beforehand)

HI

I have a question regarding tips no 58-59. It says use a registry editor. Where is this registry editor? I have tried to look for the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd

in the windows tab in file explorer, I couldnt find it.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks
[Touch HD General] Mittaa:
Search for freeware program TC (TotalCommander) ... better explorer, registry editor and support for FTP and a lot more .... :)
[Touch HD General] eyeofthetiger:
I have got TotalCommander installed and have tried clicking on windows,scrolling down and trying to find:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd

I get : historyui.cpl

then hole.zib

Nothing in between!

Incidently this aplies to hint no 59, I cant find these files.

Where are they?
[Touch HD General] Mittaa:
Don't you mean hint 58 ?

58. Increase Speed and Fix Lag of Keyboard Tapping

Use a registry editor to make the following changes. Go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd

Find "InitialDelay"=dword: dec - change to 775

Find "RepeatRate"=dword: dec - change to 23

Also set the suggested words to a lower number such as 0 and disable auto-correction of words. Now you should no longer hvae misspleled wrods.

TotalCommander --> \\plugins --> registry --> HKCU --> ControlPanel --> Keybd ???

back buttom doesnt work

After intalling software in my HTC Touch HD the "Back button" doesnt work.

I suspect the oxford dictionary which has its back button makes the conflicts but I am not sure.

Back button is quit handy in browsing internet. Is there any way to fix/restore the back button without doing hard reset and checking which software is making the conflicts in my device?

Thanks.

Hi!!!

Hello,

I'm farely new here. Thanks for the tips that you've posted. However, I had a concern. I have used the software tailor made for the HD by "Projection". It works flawlessly.

My concern is why does my phone have a lag. Its slow while opening a video and also when you stop the video, the slider comes up late. I'm posting this here because I read that the SD card can be formatted to 64Clusters instead of the existing 32. Also, there is a tweaking utility, its barely in some kb's for the SD Card, but how do i use it?

Can u please help me since you know so much about it.
[Touch HD General] clb92:
Mine does that too, but i don't know if it will help to re-format the storage card. Maybe we should use another media player instead? :D

By the way: Welcome to XDA-Developers ;)
[Touch HD General] fascinus:
Hi!!!

I have tried closing all the applications and yet there is a lag.

I checked with a friend of mine who has a Touch Diamond and his thing is brilliantly fast.

I agree we have a better screen and stuff, but if a diamond can do that why do we have a lag?

Previously I had an Omnia an yet never had this problem.

There would be a solution but we aren't getting one.

Can anyone please sort this out?
[Touch HD General] crzyazn:
for tip 58, where do i go for the last part:

"Also set the suggested words to a lower number such as 0 and disable auto-correction of words. Now you should no longer hvae misspleled wrods."

did not find that in reg edit or goin into the keyboard options.

guys, how about disable automatic pop up of keyboard when we read messages???

[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi metallica1. You can use Diamond Tweak 0.5.4 frrom Montecristoff for this. It is an application which saves enormous time editing the registry. Keyboard pop-up is one of the many tweaks you can switch on or off with this program.

Download at http://www.montecristoff.com/hdtweak.htm.

crzyazn - this app allows you to specify number of suggested words etc. as well.

This really frustrated me for a while when I first had the phone

I couldn't get mp3 to work for sms tone and decided that it was impossible

I used the mp3 trimmer app that came with th HD to get the mp3 to what I wanted as a tone then used cdex to encode the mp3 as wma

Hi,

I just wanted to know what the values correspon to? For example if I change Value to a higher number would it mean it would be faster? Becasue I am using Duttys WM6.5 R9 Turbo ROM and for initial delay value is 375 and for repeat rate value is 8 by default.

30. Charge when Powered Off

Always charge your device switched off if possible. This makes the charging time shorter and helps the battery to "calibrate".

Do u guy really do that? i mean whenever u need to charge and u have to switch it off? that stupid, what if there an important call. :X
[Touch HD General] anssibragge:

Found this yesterday (unsure where).

It is possible to add a .mp3 sound file and allocate as your ringtone. This is normally located in \Windows\Sounds. However, it will not be listed for use as an event notification (e.g. Text receive etc.) if in this directory.

To do this place your .mp3 file in the directory \application data\sounds it will then be listed in the sounds available to you.

Tried this but seem to have screwed up something as the messaging screen no longer works (even after reverting back to 35).

Perhaps someone can post the full text of the 'thread_sms.htm' so I can verify if I did something wrong? Thanks in advance.

Yup..thanks for your reply. I was confused with People and Contacts. Seems like you can't sort by Companies using People. This function is only available in Contacts
[Touch HD General] BobbieV:
I wondered if this is worth mentioning:

When using cut & paste, it's hard to paste in a folder when the items in that folder fill the whole screen. In such folders, when you open the keypad, scroll all the way down and then above the keypad you'll find some empty space to tap between the items and the keypad.

Hope it's usefull.

[Touch HD General] ClydeB1:
You don't need to open the keypad, just scroll all the way to the bottom and you will find the same space to paste into.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vishnumrao:
My wife broke her Pixel 7 Pro screen. But I can't tell if only the glass is broken of if the entire screen including the touch screen / digitizer is gone bad.

Here is a video of the screen when i press the power button to wake up. This is on dropbox - https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h5dl...1364.MOV?rlkey=mkrd8dj3onqhhwwwj993ah1vg&dl=0

Can anyone tell me if I can just buy a glass screen replacement or should I replace the entire screen? Replacing just the glass part is going to be <20$ where as the screen sells for 200-250$.

Any help is appreciated.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] kozelka:
Replacing only the glass on an OLED screen is an extremely difficult and painstaking procedure. You will need molybdenum wire and a way to heat the screen to very high temperatures without burning or damaging it. The OLED panel is very, very, very delicate.

Because of the way the Pixel 7 is constructed, it's pretty easy to replace the entire screen, much easier than a Samsung phone. The screen is just glue and a couple of plastic clips holding it in.

You can try to replace the glass, but I would be shocked if you were successful in completing the repair. A lot of places will sell you the glass parts and supplies and give you instructions. They do this because they know how desperate everyone is to pay $20 instead of $200.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wangdaning:
Yeah, as someone who replaced the screen, whole screen, I do not see how the normal user could pull off replacing just the glass. The chance that more than the glass is broken seems fairly high as well. Seems like it would be a waste of 20$.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vishnumrao:
Thanks for the inputs. Initially i was leaning towards replacing the entire screen. But the cost is just prohibitive. Its over 200$ for the screen. I don't know why its so damn expensive. its nearly 40% of what i paid for the entire phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Because the MSRP certainly wasn't 40% of what you paid for the entire phone, so the parts are still holding the price in according to the initial MSRP prices.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MustangLife03:
I would just take the phone to a phone repair place and have it done by someone experienced at it. Expensive phone to do something like that for the first time. Now if it was a $100 Android I would try it myself

FYI, Ifixit has a full screen repair/replacement kit with all tools, etc that's needed for $209
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vishnumrao:
Thanks you all for the inputs. I am still on the fence. I am not in an urgent need to fix the phone as my wife has an older backup phone for now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vishnumrao:
Hi all,

I have finally decided to do the screen replacement by myself. I successfully removed the broken screen. It was easy.

I now need bit of help from the more knowledgeable folks in this forum on the correct replacement screen. I see that the OEM / original replacement screen is still 200+, but ebay has some sellers offering for ~100$.

The lowest priced option is this, but there is another item from same seller but says something about a frame. item 2. Any idea on the difference between the two items?

TIA.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Well, one is with and another is without the frame. The display is attached normally to a plastic frame that is then glued to the frame of the phone.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vishnumrao:
Thanks. I ended spending the extra 10$ and got one with the frame.

Phone is fixed for now.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sl170:
So did that screen work okay because I have replaced the screen on my 7 pro 4 times already at the cost of over $210 each & it currently has a pink line going down the middle of the screen and I said I wasn't going to spend another $200+ on this phone but I would be willing to try it for $100 if it's been working okay.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vishnumrao:
So far so good. But I am honestly surprised that you replaced the screen 4 times! Is it because you have dropped it and cracked the screen each time or the screen just goes bad?

That said, the screen from ebay is not an OEM screen. So cheaper, but I don't know how long its going to last.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] sl170:
Yes I dropped it & cracked the screens none of them went bad without any damage. All but 1 of them had a glass screen protector on them at the time as well but still didn't do much to save the screens,I don't know why they seem to be fragile for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] 98juanfelipe:
What about the quality of the screen - is it worth the money or should I go for the iFixit?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] vishnumrao:
Its ok. I think the generic replacement does not have the screen lighting all the way to the edges. But I am not picky. It works for me. I do recommend it.
[Android Head-Units] Steinberg010:
Hello folks,

I want to buy an Android radio for my Mercedes and need your purchasing advice because there are no reputable radios available.

First of all: I already had an Android radio from Xtrons for my old car. The manufacturer hadn't provided the devices with updates well, so the community had made Roms to make up for it. I remember the Hal9k rom in conjunction with the PX5 board and the rom worked mostly well.

There are various chinese radios for the Mercedes that range from Android 9 to Android 13, quad core to octa core with 4 to 8GB RAM.

The radio should last 3-4 years. I only use it to play my Apple Music playlists via Carplay and for Google Maps.

Therefore, Android 11 should be installed at least. In addition, an octa core in conjunction with at least 6GB of RAM is future-proof, I think.

I had read somewhere that the CPU in particular is crucial for update support and roms. The installed CPU is often not listed. I usually come across the Snapdragon 662. One or two devices had an unspecified MTK CPU. The Snapdragon 662 is already over 3 years old. However, I can't find any new CPUs.

Here are 2 examples:

Android 12 or 11 - 8core - 6GB - 128GB Rom for 287$

Android 13 - 8core - 6GB - 128GB Rom for 586$

I like the first model best because of the price.

What do you all mean? Is choosing based on hardware (Snapdragon 662 + 6GB Ram + Android 12) a good choice and how can I find out which ROMs are suitable for such a device?
[Android Head-Units] Steinberg010:
No ideas?
[Android Head-Units] marchnz:
You likely want a UIS7862 FYT based unit, type 116 or similar.

I've posted a number of times about this and how to avoid being scammed by the various sellers. Avoid the fake brand Teyes.
[Android Head-Units] NextName:
The only two CPUs you should be considering are units with Snapdragon 662s or units with UIS7862(S)s.

Sellers will advertise all over if it has a 662. If they're not advertising it, it doesn't have it. If they're just saying "Qualcomm" or "Snapdragon" without saying 662, it probably either has a 665 or an old 625.

Some sellers will advertise the 7862, but many won't. There is a Mediatek equivalent, which is the MT6768, P65, or MT8667. Some sellers will mix up terms, saying things like "MTK 7862," even though the 7862 is made by Unisoc, not Mediatek. You need to send a message to the seller, asking which CPU, and asking for a screenshot of the system information.

The 662 and 7862 will have the most support, regardless of platform. FYT makes the most popular main boards containing 7862s, but from my BMW experience which will likely be the same as your Mercedes experience, FYT only makes 12.3" units, not the 10.25" that you're looking at, so you're stuck with either an uncommon/unknown brand UIS7682 unit, or a well-known SD662 unit.
[Android Head-Units] memleketim05:
is there any device you can recommend with 1DIN ?

i am searching for a while now and can't make a decision

the only one which seems to be acceptable is Hizpo S8
[Android Head-Units] NextName:
You'll probably be in the same situation. Either search for a SD662 unit, or see if you can find other people using that brand of 7862 unit. I don't know if FYT makes boards for single DIN units.
[Android Head-Units] Steinberg010:
Thank you for your helpful answers. So I had to delete the favorites I had selected so far and look for new radios. The decision will therefore fall on a head unit with a Snapdragon 662 CPU.

One last question in this regard, where can I find suitable custom roms or Android updates in the future? I won't be able to expect much support from the manufacturers or dealers. The built-in mainboard is not advertised anywhere. The radios are delivered with Android 11, which is now 3 years old.
[Android Head-Units] NextName:
You likely won't find custom ROMs anywhere. The manufacturers are surprisingly decent at pushing out updates for the first ~year or so of production, so long as there's people actively reporting bugs and communicating with the mfgs. Your main point of communication is going to be threads in this forum, manufacturer-specific forums (Mercedes, BMW, etc.) if you're getting a manufacturer-specific radio, or Discord channels.

Info:

Supports: Android 9+

Modes: works in permissive and enforcing (there are two versions you can flash).

Base OS: EMUI9.1 Builds>= .300

Built on kernel: 4.9.418+

@A2L5E0X1 - Fixing wifi drivers for hi6250 from HarmonyOS sources

@iceows & @Frax3r - for guiding

@asser19 - Piecing things together and building for Nova 3i

Download:

Kernel: Github Releases (flash using fastboot flash kernel <kernel.img>)

KernelSU Manager App: Github Releases

Notes:

- This is an early build, so bugs can happen, although I used it and it works fine, but feel free to report issues.

- In case something goes wrong you can flash the latest stock kernel from here: SourceForge (other old kernels can break something, make sure to match your kernel/odm/vendor versions)

- Latest versions of KernelSU can be pulled, built and released automatically

[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] UglyStuff:
Hi everyone,

Does anyone here know how to make it so that when you open an app from the app drawer in the default launcher, the app drawer actually closes, so that you're not faced with it after you close the last app you launched?

I know that MIUI is highly configurable, but I can't for the life of me find where to correct this behavior. It gets me to stick to alternative launchers (Microsoft's, at the moment), and battery life isn't as good as with the default launcher, although I discovered that sticking to light mode was actually better than switching to dark mode.

(I'll allow myself a little up on this one; hope you don't mind... 🤭)
[Xiaomi Poco F5 / Redmi Note 12 Turbo (China)] MichaelHall:
Maybe better asked elsewhere, but in developer options turn on "Don't keep activities" (but this is not recommended, because it will slow your system and may have other negative effects).
