[FiXES and tweaks for the new ROMs] 22 fixes and tweaks

[KukurikU]

Because our great chefs are not so great in collaborating and because i am fed up with tough decisions like choosing between the ROMs when each one has another bug that the other solved, i decided to open this new thread with the most common bugs i encountered and with the fixes i found.
Fell free to join and add what u discovered in yr quest for the allusive (utopic?) "bug free" ROM.
before starting, a small request:

please do not post question here! this thread is for fixes (problems solved). if you have a fix you are invited to post it here or PM me and i'll update the first post.

"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001

The recorder is *.wav file and saved at My Documents\Notes.
Thanks to Mr. Xiaoqiao & Chnnt at xbeta.

14-for in-call record without any 3d party app you also use the cab posted by mskip (thank you!)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...4&postcount=35

14.1 best IRC solution imho, is the HTC's own program. you can find the program and a few explanations here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=183
this one should be used only after editing the registry as described in fix 13 or (as i discovered by chance) you can first install mskip's cab (the cab is going to edit the registry for you) and after that install the HTC's app found in the above link.


15-Dayligt savings bug in new ROMS (thanks to tipistri)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7&postcount=11


16-Another daylight savings Fix (thank you ryoojin83's)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...2&postcount=33


17-Greenscreen 1.56 roms (thanks to kwbr)

Read carefully the whole thread - there seems to be some troubles with the cab (works only cooked?):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...16#post3586516

18-4 columns "Programs" tab (thanks to cerato...again)

Add Registry entries:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\
Add New Key "IconConfig"
In there Add DWORD Value:
"HorizontalIconSpacing" Dec value="112"
"VerticalIconSpacing" Dec value="115"
"IconTitleFontSize" Dec value="6"

19-Old start menu, old programs tab with 4 icons plus 4 icon program launcher!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501701


20-Work around HTC album half screen zoom problem! (thanks you oemie!)

The workaround is found in Flip_it (from the WildBerry Team)
In many roms Flip_it is already cooked in (i am using Miri rom so i had to install myself) so that is easy.

When you set Flip_it to rotate 0 and 270 degrees, and after that choose HTCAlbum.exe and also check 0 and 270 degrees then the problem is solved.

You can dubble tap on a picture in landscape and the picture is zoomed how it should.
I think till a real solution comes, this is the way..


21- Restoring the multiple snooze option in Notification Manager (thanks, biiig thanks to crackwhore and avimak)

21.1-crackwhore elegant solution for letting the graphically chic Notification manager but allowing multiple snooze options in the notification bubble is here (cab file):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...postcount=2280

21.2-avimak's more radical solution for the ones that want to have again the option to get the command manger and volume control by clicking the top task bar:
If you're using Dutty X3 ROM (for sure not only Dutty's) you should have this files:
NotificationLayout.dll
NotificationManager.dll
replace them with text files having the same name. avimak's advice is to use non empty files (type yr name inside, for example) but i can say it worked even with empty files.

22-Change the firsat day of the week in Calandar TouchFlo 3D from Sunday to Monday (thanks to HDuser and to NiGhTTraX!)

please do not post question here! this thread is for fixes (problems solved). if you have a fix. you are invited to post it here or PM me and i'll update the first post.

If you like what i did and you are over 18 go to closest pub and donate yourself a beer or/and kiss yr girl friend/wife!
If you like what i did and you are under age go and play with your friends and forget about your PC and this forum for at least a few hours!

Great initiative, since the rom cookers dont collaborate no more we need such threads for us users, and rom cookers.
I hope this'll open eyes of the ones not sharing and not taking advantage of the bugreports here.

Mh, in some ROMs (Dutty 2.3 XTREME, Davideuck V-3 H.P., etc.) this issue is fixed but I think because of other sources and not a fix.

PS. Great Idea, but we have to add, for which manila, wm version the fix works.

In the first post, you better change the headline "More than 3 lines in SMS." because this is only for the input-field in outlook(!) by threaded layout.

Related to new manila ROMs "3 lines in SMS" imply the new manila SMS layout, which cut messages after some characters (normaly 3 lines).

thank you for yr help, much appreciated but please PM me so we'll keep the thread clean as much is possible.

Must be a sticky in my opinion,

[Fallen Spartan]

Just wondering if any of you have come across this bug in Duttys V2.3 which I've posted in the thread but I've had no responses.

Maybe you are able to help?

I have restored the Programs Tab and the Old Start Menu. If I enter the Programs Tab the 2 soft keys at the bottom are All Programs & Remove as normal. But if I click on any other Tab, i.e. Weather etc All Programs & Remove remain as the soft keys. A soft reset returns everything to normal i.e. New SMS & Contacts in Home Tab. Only problem is everytime I enter Programs Tab they return to All Programs and Remove and stay this way until I reset again!

EDIT

Another little bug which appears once you have returned to the old start menu and restored the programs tab is if you open any program through the programs tab the start menu is automatically opened along with program??

Any solutions to either of these??

[KukurikU]

@fallen spartan
please, let's keep this tread for fixes (problems solved) and not starting a Q@A thread. i am sorry, i do not have a solution since i am using the ROM with the new start and love it this way. the old start has only 7 entries, now we have 15 or more. i do think is an improvement
