Do a Search for an APP called SSmaPa.

Install this on device. Once installed, go to the calendar part of manila (found with in SSmaPa list) don't recall exactly what it's called but it's Calend something. Once highlighted, remove the $ sign. Then hit patch. Once you have done this........there is a section within program where you tell the patch to be executed. THen you are done. That is the best I can do from my head as I don't have this program installed at this time.

Hope this helps!
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
Heya, just enabled this on my X1i and it works like a charm!

No more pressing against the screen so that the touches will work, ahh it's wonderful. Thanks a lot for posting this!
[XPERIA X1 General] Midi_Amp:
I think I need to read the direction carefully next time :p I changed the setting to "Very High" and voila! Stuckville... Luckily the X1 has keyboards and the awesome pad (I named the directional/optical pad that).

If somebody got stuck accidentally (not like me), just use the d-pad to navigate and press tab on the keyboard to move between dialog boxes.

The config tools been available for a while, but super thanks for the nine 9's trick. Although I seldom use the screen, but it's an improvement I think. As I mushed the screen not touch it, so I don't quite feel the sensitivities changed.
[XPERIA X1 General] Tri3Dent:
Sorry for a stupid question, how do I install the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5?

It's in a .msi file and xperia doesn't recognize the extension.
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
Install it on the pc while your Xperia is connected, it'll prompt for install within xperia sometime during the installation.
[XPERIA X1 General] Midi_Amp:
Yup, that's pretty much it...

But for more detailed explanation:

1. Install Activesync on your pc.

2. Connect the device with the pc and sync it.

3. Install the .net CF 3.5 from your pc.

4. Follow the onscreen prompts.

5. Look at the phone's screen, you will be asked to approve an installation, select yes.

6. You're done...

Afterward, install the advanced config cab.
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
Nicely done, hope lots of people try this out because it's quite an improvement from the old finger pressing that I did.
[XPERIA X1 General] ibeQuint:
if you mess up and turn it down too far, just use my mobiler to fix it if you're having trouble.
[XPERIA X1 General] foxcheng:
I must say this method really good! every touch is so great and accurate! everyone should do this tweak to improve your Xperiance^_^
[XPERIA X1 General] mkouk:
This indeed is amazing, i was a bit doubtful when i read the post at first but i tried it and i no longer have to push hard for the X button on the corner of the screen! yay
[XPERIA X1 General] Giland:
Yeah it works really good ;)

Thanks ;)
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Yes, I have no idea why these settings aren't included out of the box. I figured there might be some adverse effect from the settings (?like draining the battery or sacrificing touch vs stylus use), but there are absolutely NONE as far as I can tell. Just a touch screen that's on the way to being like capacitive.

I think it's theoretically possible to make it even MORE responsive. Have you noticed that when the backlight dims the screen, the very lightest touch wakes it up? Can we take it even further? I'm sure the Advanced Config is just editing a registry entry so that might be the place to start looking.
[XPERIA X1 General] philhaz:
I was hesitant too, but after making the changes I must say it is a noticeable improvement! The only potential downside I could even consider is reduced battery life, but there is no reason for me to suspect that this will be the case.
[XPERIA X1 General] webly1211:
net frame work already exsists oin this rom

i get the above message but whn i try programe ist says that i will need a newr version of net

will i need to reinstal firmware update ?
[XPERIA X1 General] Glithramir:
Cant this be done by simply editing the registry?

HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold

HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure
[XPERIA X1 General] mr_sheen:
works like a charm mate :)

Good find
[XPERIA X1 General] Glithramir:
I increased my values like this:

PressureThreshold:2124 -> 8496

FingerPressure:977 -> 8496

I dont experience a very big difference. I didnt want to increase too much apart from the default values.

What exactly does the registry keys do?

Another interesting find:

After doing a new screen alignment it reset the values to:

PressureThreshold:2399

FingerPressure:1084

So.. I guess it adapts the values depending on how hard and precise you press the screen when aligning... ?
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
hmm is there a problem with the default screen?? can someone enlighten me ?
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
just to confirm:

If i install net framework 3.5 will i loose any programs or settings on the xperia?

Thank you
[XPERIA X1 General] gundamboy:
Nope, it just adds the framework to your phone. Can't remember if it prompts for a reset, but afterwards you can just install the advanced config.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I incrementally increased those values, going higher and higher. At some point, increasing the values doesn't seem to add much to the responsiveness, but it's hard to tell, so I just set to the highest possible values (999999999). I haven't found any problems but your settings will probably lead to a good responsiveness as well.
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
Thanks

Just one last thing if i install Shap's advanced config tool 3.3 and change the values if i then uninstall Shap's advanced config tool will i loose the settings?

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Yup, good call. It can easily be done by editing the registry with something like SKTools. I'll update the first post in a while for those who know how to edit their registries. It might also be nice if this option were added to XperiaTweak.
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
W0000T @@@@!!!1111!!!!!!!!!

I have only one thing to say. MAN YOU ARE A F...ING GENIUS !!! :D

Seriously. My phone turned from an annoying hard-to-press brick into an awesome machine. Iphone breath my dust !!!! It is unbelievably responsive. I can press the "x" with the slightest touch. My phone is now complete.

Btw I used Resco registry editor and set the values in the registry to 999999999.

Great job man, great job. :D
[XPERIA X1 General] dogans:
If you guys were experiencing hard-to-press screens, why didnt you just recalibrate the screen? You know, the same calibration as when you first started your phone (or hard reseted). It doesnt just calibrate the point, but also the pressure.

Mine is very sensitive, and without editing anything in the registry.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I did that, trying as hard as possible to make the screen sensitive (eg using the lightest of touches on calibration) and it was nowhere near as responsive as it is now. Try editing the registry; I think you'll like it...:)
[XPERIA X1 General] Gilg@mesh:
DAMN! this thing just did everything much smoother!! now I don't have to break the screen hehe :D THANKS! this "fix" should be included in all ROM's ^^
[XPERIA X1 General] Ashwm:
Same here, and I did try the method stated in the 1st post.

Don't see much different.

The 1st time I calibrated my X1, it's the smoothest Minwo screen I've ever used. I never had to press hard or anything.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I doubt it. Since registry edits are permanent until you change them again, uninstalling Shap's AC 3.3 will probably leave in your pressure settings.
[XPERIA X1 General] bradp:
Sorry Guys,

Have installed all perfectly..but somehow set to very high and response died.

Have manually nav'd back, but when i try to enter 9's and use enter button to set, field stays open and defaults back to 1,000,000

Now I'm this close to havin to hard reset
[XPERIA X1 General] yogibear2009:
Is it possible someone could write this as a cab?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Don't hard reset. Once you hit enter, does the correct number (eg 999999999) go into the field? If yes, you then

need to select "Done"

along the bottom menu bar. SInce you can no longer do this via the touch screen, use the physical left button (if you have re-mapped that button, remap it back to being the left soft-key). Hope that helps.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
wont you guy face the prob of .. while using the phone, your face touches the hang up icon? i do so without tweaking.. wont it be worst?
[XPERIA X1 General] Jasand:
i had that issue before the tweak so everytime i have a call i turn off the screen with the power button.

the screen is not as responsive as i thought it would be but it is a big improvement.
[XPERIA X1 General] Trudi:
For people who did the change, do you have an impact on the battery life ?
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
Nope. :):):):)
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Agree, no apparent impact on battery life. With FingerMenu 1.10 (props!) + SPB Mobile Shell or TouchFLO, it's just very very sweet.
[XPERIA X1 General] rpereira:
Huge difference, thanks for posting this.
[XPERIA X1 General] Prinzessin Horst:
Hm... changed the reg-values as suggested.

No difference.

:(
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Hmmmm, kind of hard to know why... What were your initial settings? Most people are reporting a big change but a few are not. For me it was a game-changer. Do newer ROMs increase the responsiveness when you calibrate the screen? Since it's tricky to "grade" how responsive the screen is, here's an attempt at a rough grading system:

1. Highest responsiveness: requires just a touch, equivalent to a capacitive device (eg the navigation pad)

2. High responsiveness

3. Medium responsiveness

4. Low responsiveness

5. Lowest responsiveness: requires a press equivalent to pressing an Xperia qwerty button

I'd say that my screen went from about a 4.5 to a 1.5.
[XPERIA X1 General] DaNuker:
There is a modest improvement in my case, most visible with apps with large icons or there would hardly be any difference.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
hmmm my x1 seems fine the way it is.. in fact too responsive.. calls hang up due to face.. empty sms due to send being touched
[XPERIA X1 General] elee888:
Has anyone found that when you do a soft reset, the settings go back the original default numbers? Not 999999999 anymore? Is there a way to prevent this from happening?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I haven't found this. I'm surprised they reset because it's a registry edit which should not change unless you recalibrate the screen or re-edit the numbers. What method are you using to change the responsiveness? Could be that the settings were never entered properly in the first place.
[XPERIA X1 General] Nimche:
You need to do it as he has posted an instructed.

You do change both Fnger Pressure and Threshold Pressure to {999,999,999}

Make sure you have 9 digit for both of them.

I had the same probelm but it works now.

This is great.

Thank you
[XPERIA X1 General] thescum:
bless you, you've made the xperia a whole better experience now.

This should be stickied, imo
[XPERIA X1 General] nguyenkhanhhoang:
Does anyone meet problem because of high respons like accidental actions? i think the default level of touch respons is still ok so is it worth to do this tip?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I don't. A couple people reported problems while talking on the phone with accidental presses against their face, but I haven't had that problem (or if it happened a couple times it didn't cause any problem). Certainly if you are happy with the level of responsiveness, leave it alone. I use mine as a finger device as much as possible, so it's much nicer with the increased responsiveness.

By the way, if someone could send me some code (for example, another simple program that implements registry changes like XperiaTweak), I'd be happy to work on making a .cab tweak, but I'd need some raw material because my programming skills are in an entirely different realm.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
easy way of making it a cab is to use something like quickcab .

have a read here for some tips on using it with reg keys.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=400221&page=11

alas the current version doesn't import .reg files which would make it easier..
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Oh, damn, that was so easy. Thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction. I'll upload the .cab ASAP. Can you also tell me how to upload a .cab so everyone can get it?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Okay, I have created and uploaded a .cab on the first post. Can people let me know of any problems? (I had no problems on mine) Can someone check whether their registry settings (see 1st post) are indeed changed to 999,999,999?

Hope this improves your device like it did mine.
[XPERIA X1 General] rotsu:
cab is not woking.

unsuccessful installation.

im using generic UK ROM R1.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Do you have .NET framework installed?
[XPERIA X1 General] rotsu:
yeah

ver 3.5
[XPERIA X1 General] Paitor:
Firs of all. Doesn't the highest number have to be FF FFF FFF in hex.

Second, I didn't notice any difference. But then I always tries to press as light as possible when i calibrate my screen.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I have NAM ROM R2 but I wouldn't think that would matter. I just retried installing by OTA and it worked on my device.
[XPERIA X1 General] tongphan:
ring-bearer do i have to install this, before install your cab thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
good innit?

next you'll be wanting to know how to rip a cab apart, and rebuild it.

Bow down to the majesty of MSCEinf..

[XPERIA X1 General] cbuc1125:
Amazing! This is one of the best mods i have made to my Xperia. Everyone should do this from day 1!!!
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
So Quickcab says "Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 required."

Does that mean required to use Quickcab, or required to install the .cab that you create?

I haven't tested installing the X1 SoftTouch .cab on a device without MSNCF 3.5, so right now I don't actually know if it's needed. So I can only conclude:

- It should work if you have MSNCF 3.5

- It might work if you don't

Sorry for the newbie questions...
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
Quickcab needs CF3.5 to run.. the cab files don't unless there's something specific inside the cab that needs it.

a reg entry shouldn't need .net,

however I think you've gone past the limit of the fingerpressure key, I tried it to see and most reg editors only allow 8 figures not 9.

It maybe that this is causing the problems, if you're not finding any advantage past 100000 then stick with that?

Other thoughts are you using a custom rom? have you turned off security warnings (such as the option in advanced config) or installed sdkcerts.cab at all?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Thanks again. I edited the instructions appropriately.

I'm actually not finding any problems with the 999,999,999 values. And I'm pretty sure it's not maxed out because I went even higher with the SKTools registry editor (to 999,999,999,999) and it then automatically (on soft reset) changed the number to approx 2,000,000,000 (which is higher than 999,999,999).

I appreciate the help.
[XPERIA X1 General] Ashwm:
Same here, I calibrate my screen as light as possible too.

Maybe that's why we don't see difference when others do.

X1 screen been smooth as butter from day 1.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Some people are reporting big improvements with this tweak while others are reporting minimal improvements. So I did some testing and I think I can account for it.

If you used the recommended "firm" taps when calibrating your screen, the X1 the SoftTouch tweak should lead to:

- substantial improved responsiveness with finger use

- moderate improved responsiveness with stylus use

If you used very light touches when calibrating your screen, the X1 SoftTouch tweak should lead to:

- moderate to minimal improved responsiveness with finger use

- minimal to no improved responsiveness with stylus use

So the effectiveness of the tweak depends on how you calibrated originally, and whether you use your device primarily with your finger. Either way, the tweak seems to have few adverse effects and could lead to big improvements.
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
Ripples

Iv designed a little program to graphically demonstrate and test the touch responsiveness of your X1 screen. It is inspired by the fish panel, simply tap the screen anywhere to start a ripple.

Becuase its powerpoint, you can easily edit this on your PC to change the background picture on slide 2 to anything you like.

Simply download, unzip, copy to your X1 and click to run, tap and hold to exit. :)
[XPERIA X1 General] j17ykp:
thanks very much has made a noticible differnce to my X1
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Have you noticed any difference with your program after tweaking the screen responsiveness?
[XPERIA X1 General] Mark A Cilenti:
I have your cab installed, works a treat, I hated having to thump my X1, and hit the screen hard, now I can tap it gently and it responds everytime, less need for double taps.

Just out of interest on a theoretical scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is minimum responsivess, and 10 is maximum. What do you extimate the Experia to be set up at defualt, and what level has your cab changed it to ?

I prefer the cab, I hate pokin round the registry, its like doing brain surgery, one false slip and your X1 is a vegetable :p

Quick question: if the cab is un-installed does the Xperia revert back to default values ?

Have you tried ripples ?
[XPERIA X1 General] harsh1l:
hi,i have a problem, i have installed this cab to my phone and also soft reset but i cant find this program anywhere, where exactly is it located?
[XPERIA X1 General] maherb:
removed and will relist
[XPERIA X1 General] maherb:
hi

there is nothing to see, no program to click on, it enhances your screen responsiveness.
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Yes, that's right. When you install it, it just maxes out the responsiveness, so there are no options! However, if you want your old settings back, just uninstall it under settings>remove programs>X1 SoftTouch

Try X1 SoftTouch with the new Finger Keyboard 2.0. Fantastic!
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Mark, I did indeed install ripples. Thanks for that! Pretty cool, and I can get ripples with some pretty light touches.

To answer your othre question: yes, uninstalling X1 SOftTouch returns your old settings. You can also just recalibrate the screen under settings>screen>align screen

Need help to download Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3

Hi,

I tried to download the Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 but I cannot open the CAB file using WinRAR (evaluation copy). May I know how to do it. Thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Not sure, though I know there are plenty of RAR extract programs. I've used "free RAR extract frog" and it works well.

Otherwise, if you are trying to make this tweak, you don't need Advanced Config, you can just download and install the .cab at the end of the 1st post.
[XPERIA X1 General] kissiman:
making the screen flush

Has anyone tried making the screen flush with multiple screen protectors and then useing this tweak? because multiple screen protectors would reduce the responsiveness but im guessing this tweak would even everything out. just an idea :D

thanks

PROBLEM

Hi

when i installed the cab it said : the programe whil not work fine because the progral is desingned for an older version of Windows Mobil???

I also did a soft reset but i found no Program of this in My prgram screen??

What must i do now?

GrtZ Rob
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Open "remove programs" under settings. Do you see "Paco X1 Softouch?"

If so, it was installed, probably successfully. The program only make 2 registry changes, so you won't find it listed under programs.

If you know how to look at registry entries, you can follow the directions in the first post to confirm that the settings have been changed. If not, try "Method 3" in the first post.

Hope it works!
[XPERIA X1 General] F-Styla:
I used method 1 and installed the cab.

Where can I find the settgins of the problem now? Where can I configurate it?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
There are no settings. The tweak makes a registry change that maxes out the touch responsiveness as much as possible. The only option you have with X1 Softtouch is to recalibrate your screen using the usual method, or uninstall it, which will return your screen to the original settings.

If you really want a mid-level of responsiveness, try method 3 and play around with the settings, but beware of going too low (read the 1st post) because you can make the screen completely unresponsive.
[XPERIA X1 General] RacloOne:
Bravo

This improve totally my overall experience with the phone. I have set-it up along with Touchresponse and voila

Thanks a lot
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
can i do this with HTC touch HD?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
I bet it might, but you should search your registry for the two entries listed in Method 2 before trying.

HKLM/Drivers/TouchPanel/PressureThreshold

and

HKLM/Software/OEM/TFLOSettings/FingerPressure

If they are present, it might work. Let us know.
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
present .. but they are 4 byte dwords... and its a value of 2 digits..

one is 60something the other 20something..

changed both to triple 9.

not sure how to verify :D
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
i did the align screen and it is back to 2 digits again...

for example 68.

any idea what should i change ?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
Well if you aligned the screen and it changes those numbers, that basically tells you that those registry entries also affect the responsiveness of the HD. So you are on the right track.

To see if it actually is making a difference, you might do this:

1 Re-align you screen using very "firm" taps

2 Check the registry numbers (should be even lower than 60s 20s)

3 Try to get a sense of how much finger pressure you need to apply to make a tap (hard to quantify, I know)

4 Increase the values in the registry even further

5 Then try to see if you can feel a difference

6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 using increasingly high values
[XPERIA X1 General] leobox1:
so i should not use 9 nines?
[XPERIA X1 General] vicie:
Does the cap also works onn a htc touch (non dual)?
[XPERIA X1 General] ring-bearer:
If it were me, I wouldn't start that high even though there's probably a low risk of harm. You could do a progression of 999 then 9999 then 99999 etc. When I did that on the Xperia, nothing bad ever happened. When I went way too high, (10 nines or something) the registry actually reverted the number to what I hypothesize is the maximum allowable number (2 billion or something).
[XPERIA X1 General] orelsi:
I always use nine 9s. Never had any issues so far. :D

responsive screen taps :)
[XPERIA X1 General] paul c:
I thought I'd do this via the registry:

both values were 4,294,967,295 (no commas). So I tried 9,999,999,999 but when I tried to save, I got a message saying that 4,294,967,295 was the maximum value.

I guess my set-up came with the Valkyrie Firestorm ROM I use, but 2 things:

1) check the value first anyway, since you may actually decrease sensitivity by applying 999,999,999 ;)

2) we now know the max value for this field.
