[HD2 General] Gustopher:
While there are obvious differences between Maila and Sense, it seems increasingly that some well-known and long standing tweaks and registry hacks are ignored by the HD2.

I wondered if there was an application layer between the UI and the OS that might have its own settings that override the registry - seems unlikely but until someone can explain why these hacks are not working (or tell me I'm wrong), I thought it might be useful to keep a note of what DOESN'T work, along with any solutions as they are found.

---------------------------------------------------------

1. Can't move the Inbox to the Storage Card

Standard Hack: Add the string 'PropertyPath = \Storage Card\Inbox" to HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings

Issue: The hack actually works but on reboot the Storage Card is renamed 'Storage Card2' and a new folder called 'Storage Card' created on the device. This may be because the Storage Card is slow to mount

Solution:

None at present

---------------------------------------------------------

2. Can't disable the Lock Screen

Standard Hack: Should be possible to set the interval through the standard 'Lock' settings item or via a range of software Tweak Tools.

Should also be enabled/disabled by setting HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable to 1/0

Issue: The HD2 seems to override any and all settings and the lock screen appears any time the screen is switched off and back on again

Solution:

None at present

---------------------------------------------------------

3. Can't change the default storage location for camera photos

Standard Hack: Use Advanced Config or edit HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\image and/or HKLM\Services\Picture

Issue: The HD2 seems to override any and all settings and photos still go to the DCIM folder

Solution:

None at present

---------------------------------------------------------

4. Can't change the target for CoPilot in NaviPanel

Issue: When CoPilot is installed on the Storage Card - the only sane place for it - it cannot be started through the NaviPanel, which seems to expect a copy on the device.

There is no obvious registry setting to control this and the fear is that it may be hard coded somewhere

Solution:

None at present

---------------------------------------------------------

5. Limited Storage Space

Issue: A big-hearted device has come equipped with tiny cojones in the storage department...

Solution:

(Obviously!) Store as little on the device as possible and remove anything that you KNOW you can do without (careful!)

Install applications to the Storage Card (limited benefit as many apps still install working files to the device)

There is some sample music and sample pictures in 'My Documents' that can be removed to save several MB

Delete the CoPilot files under 'Program Files' (assuming you aren't using it, or have installed to the Storage Card)

---------------------------------------------------------

6. Screen Sensitivity

Issue: Despite having wished for a capacitive screen for months, it takes a little while to get used to the new-found sensitivity

Solution: Not a solution as such - haven't seen any sort of sensitivity control - but the following might help:

Patience! It does get better

Don't press too hard - it's easily done in frustration but it actually makes things worse

Align the screen - don't think the factory calibration is too clever (this made a big difference for me)

Switch to a different keyboard. Don't like the default keyboard so reinstalled TouchPal and all is well again

---------------------------------------------------------

If people find it useful and care to post their issues/solutions here, I will try to update the list periodically
