Cleartype in landscape mode reg hack problem

[zen123]

I did the usual reg hack hklm/system/gdi/cleartypesettings/0 switched off phone to reset & it works for a few times but then it reverts back to normal on its own accord. Checked the reg setting & it shows 1 again. Any ideas, because its driving me mad having to change it again & again.

I use Orange SPV M3100 & PHM Regedit

Try Twkcl.exe

Maybe the solution, it works for my Tytn:

Make the registery change as described for the wizard.
Go to landscape (keyboard slided out) en go to start, settings, system, Screen, General (must be landscape), ClearType, enable ClearType.
Then: make a softreset not using youre stylus but trough the On/Of button, or Softreset trough other possibilties.

After a couple of resets it still works till now! Just testing right now the stylus reset: result: d@mm, so that is really the problem. Using the stylus hole softreset (what's the name for it? Resetbutton for stylus?).

So again procedure as descriped above en never use the resetbutton for stylus anymore until somebody discoverd a solution for it!

Has someone did the trick allready?

I'm going to try such trick, thanks..
I think that's an HTC issue, because it happens also on Qtek 9090...
On Motorola MPx I changed reg value one time and it always worked across lots of soft resets.

i never use 'resetbutton', but always resetting device with on/off button. even with that, cleartype in landscape mode seems to be lost after couple of resets (or maybe, offs/ons). :(

Can anyone confirm whether or not Twkcl.exe works?

I tried it but after two or three soft resets cleartype in landscape rollbacks to off...:(

At least you did get it to work. I have no luck with this method at all.

As I mentioned before, Twkcl.exe works well for me. Maybe you wanna try that and forget about tweaking the registry.

I think I know ur problem, try closing the reg editor from memory running programs screen before you reset. That worked for me, but am going to try twkcl now to get it to stay.

[joehood]

that's odd... I followed the instructions for TwkCL but it makes no difference, the reg setting goes back to normal after the 2nd reset.

I physically copied TwkCL.exe to the extended_rom, then edited the config file, that's all I need to do right?

Nothing happened so I edited the registry as normal and it just went back as usual.

Hope someone can help,
Cheers.

No need such complication....simply copy Twkcl.exe into the \Windows\Startup folder will do.

I believe the instruction is for effecting automated configuration during hard-reset so that Twkcl.exe will be copied to your STARTUP folder after each hard-reset.

Marvellous.
Thanks!
