Raphael Tweaks

[rhedgehog]

EDIT: This thread is not being made sticky by the Moderators for a good reason, so please stop asking them to. I have added a link to it to the wiki, and you can always subscribe to the thread for updates.....

I thought I'd try some of the diamond tweaks on the Raphael, just to see if any would work, and though i kinda figured they all would, it seems that in my particular case, some of them didn't, or at least didn't seem to.

ROM 1.66.405.1 WWE
Radio 1.02.25.11
RAPH100

Boost TFL3D Performance --> Using Advanced Config, change File system cache to 8mb and file system filter cache to 131072
Tested and works a treat. TF3D is sluggish and prone to long pauses before tweak, much faster afterwards

Boost TFL3D Performance --> HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and change key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768
Much quicker than number 1 on it’s own, now stonkingly fast.

Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
The Raphael (and the diamond on 1.93) now ring and vibrate for incoming SMS, so this is not really necessary, but will turn the screen on if that’s what you want (I personally don’t).

Switch Mute Call on phone flipped face down: HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE : FaceDownMuteRing: change value to "0"
Working correctly

Boost TFL3D Scrolling Speed --> - HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 16384 or 32768 (DWORD decimal)
- To change it back to the default: - HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit = 8192 (DWORD decimal)
Did this using schaps advanced config and it does not seem to make any difference whatsoever.

Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs) Doesn’t work
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0 Doesn’t work
These failed to work individually and also when applied as a pair. No use on this Raphael ROM.
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\FastDormancyRule=0 doesn’t work either.
EDIT: this kinda worked when I tried it on the 1.90.405.1 ROM. the screen turns off once, but once you turn it back on, it stays on. YMMV.

Set HTC Album X button to close not minimize: ok_minimize change value to 0
Not needed any more. When task manager is set to close programs with the x button, album shuts correctly. Youtube on the other hand, doesn’t.

Disable Enlarged Title bar (when you click on a notification) to the default WM behavior: HKLM->Software->HTC->EnlargeTitleBar - and change "Enable" from 1 to 0.
Not needed any more. Start>settings>system>touchflo. Untick Show system status screen when status icons are tapped

Turn off startup aninmation and sound: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ -> rename both "StartupGif" and "StartupWav" to other names
Works, but does not speed up boot time.

Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
Works

Another supposed TFL3D tweak for better performance: HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings:
SpeedHigh: default value (25) <-- Change to (5) / SpeedLow : default value (70) <-- Chnge to (14) save and soft reset
No difference that I noticed, but no adverse affects either.

Adjust screen sensitivity: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold
Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal
Works fine. Can also be done in Schaps advanced config.

More Camera Modes:
To Enable 'Burst': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
Works. Keep button pressed down to take more pictures

To Enable 'Sport': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
Works. Takes 5 pictures in quick succession

To Enable 'Video Share': HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
Works

Enable HSUPA:
HKLM\Software\HTC\AdvancedNetwork\SupportHSUPA =change it to 1
Already enabled, so no need for this.

Remove orphan icons and shortcuts - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...97&postcount=3
Erm, why not just delete them in File explorer for F***s sake??

Four icons in a row in WM Programs/Settings screens - http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4&postcount=16
Works a treat and looks pretty good too!

Remove Vertical and Horizontal Scrollbars
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
For the vertical (right) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)
Slight graphical distortion at the edge of the screen, but they are gone.

Disable SMS Conversation in WM 6.X
In Registry Editor: Create a folder named "OEM" in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Se ttin gs"
In the new "OEM" folder, make a new DWORD key called "SMSInboxThreadingDisabled" and give it a value of "1"
OEM folder already exists, and adding the key to this folder works a treat, although any messages already in the system are lost. Back them up using something like PIM backup first.

I didn't get a chance to try them all as i only have the Raphael for a very limited time, so i tried the ones i was interested in first. I have the device for a few more days yet (Still allowed to borrow it from work for the time being) so i may try a few more and update this later on.

Need to make the most of my time here before I leave my job and don't get access to the devices again!

EDIT: more have been added and tried.

Hope the OP won't mind me popping in another post.

Since this is a sticky I decided to make it a little easier to come by the reg entries. I copy pasted all the registry entries found in the thread up to 23-9-09. I have not tested any of these reg entries so be sure to read the thread if you have doubts about the entries.

Boost TFL3D Performance:

HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs and change key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768
Thanks to Tiggles

SIP responsiveness boost:

1. Export HKCR\CLSID (will save to a *.reg file)
2. Del or Rename HKCR\CLSID
3. Import the backup of HKCR\CLSID
Turn off your device about 15 sec and reset

Thanks to tahdor

[Jorlin]

Thank you for testing
Any comments on the device itself. Especially things that differ from the Diamond e.g. the keyborad quality, sliding mechanism, landscape touchflo, camera with flash...

[rhedgehog]

LED camera light is woefully awful, as is every LED on HTC phones (Not that there have been many)

Keyboard is nice and clicky, and a godsend after the horrors of an athena keyboard. Buttons are well shaped and even though they are quite close together and i have fat fingers, i only have a problem when typing the letter A, where i keep going one key too far left and hitting the caps lock instead.

Sliding mechanism on mine feels pretty solid, and is semi-automatic like the one on the p4350, and slides into place with a satisfying click.

As Arne Hess said on the unwired, the landscape touchflo is pretty basic, just a screen with 8 icons on it, and it does look pretty bland, but it does the job well.

The only thing i have noticed about sliding out the keyboard (and this may be because it is an early ROM) is that when i slide out the keyboard to type something, i have to wait a second or so for the cursor to start flashing. if i press a key straight away, then no matter what program i am in, it jumps to the landscape touchflo.
If i wait for the cursor to start flashing (at most a second), then it works perfectly.

Just a little thing, and nothing that annoys me, but i know it may annoy some people.

[Black93300ZX]

Am I allowed to ask how you happened across a Raphael before its release? I'd like to get my hands on one however possible to test that damn AT&T ROM and see how goes.

[rhedgehog]

Same way the other guys here get devices before they are released.
Although i won;'t have it for much longer, maybe another week if i am lucky.

[cliffgardner]

This was developed for the HTC Touch Diamond but works flawlessly on the Pro (Raphael).

Thanks, I'll download that now ready for when mine arrives - looks useful judging by it's filename

[rhedgehog]

cool.
The cab file for adding the call history tab didn't seem to work for me. i just got stuck on the 'tap here to launch TF3D' page. as soon as i uninstalled it, tf3d came back.
I might try this and see how it works.

[twisted-pixel]

what are people using to edit the registry....advanced config doesn't seem to let me into this.

thanks
