Back to IndexMaking Call Vibrations Rhythmic

The first time someone called me on my SE Xperia, it made me laugh and wonder what that little fiery plastic bastard was up to. Because it never stopped vibrating! While all my other cell-phones have had a rhythmic vibration pattern, this one just desperately kept going like its life depended on it. Luckily, I'm not the only one who found this a bit unusual and I found a solution:

* Download VAlert (by ochakov at xda-developers) and install the CAB. Here is the thread for the utility and further instructions.

Increase or decrease the values of these entries to change the font size in Java applications.

Back to IndexWVGA Fix 3

Some software designed for VGA devices act strangely on WVGA resolution screens. This nifty little tool (WVGAFix3) by Cotulla emulates VGA and takes care of VGA --> WVGA compability problems. Just download and install and you're all set. Here's the original thread for more information on the subject.

Back to IndexChanging the Hardware Keyboard Layout

If you have flashed a ROM that's in a different language than the original Windows Mobile on your phone, it might mess up the hardware QWERTY keyboard layout. Luckily, the layout can be changed in the registry. Make sure you edit the value in hex.

* In the registry, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD

* Change the CurLan g value to match your language:

English: 409

Finnish: 40b

Swedish: 41d

German: 407

Italian: 410

Here is the complete set of locale IDs in case your language isn't listed above.

Back to IndexHow to Enable/Disable the Backlight During Calls

Some people prefer the backlight to be turned on during calls, so they can easily activate the speakerphone and access the keypad for example, and some like the display to be turned off to save power. Here's how you switch between the two:

* Enter HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL with your favorite registry editor. Edit the EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall value: 0 will keep the backlight on during calls and 1 will turn it off after a couple of seconds. Softreset your device to activate the tweak.

* This setting can also be changed with HD Tweak: At the very top of the screen, there's an option called Fast Sleep - select Enable or Disable at the bottom, press OK, do a softreset and that's it!
