[REF] Keyboard Lagg in Windows Messaging when typing new message ... (SOLVED) - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

The Keyboard Lagg can be fixed using the "sms lagg fix cab" Posted by bigdyl69 in Post no 4 & Post No.8
Thanks for Finding the solution and sharing.....
Original Post:
I am initiating this thread so that people talk about this issue and hopefully someone comes up with a fix for this...
The Lagg in windows messaging im talking about is the one we face when we open new message in windows messaging in sense 2.1 or touchflo3d 2.1 or sense 2.5 roms without HTC messaging....(attached pic no 1)
this lagg occurs in every rom from stock 6.1 rom to chef build roms be it WM 6.5 series or WM 6.5.X series....
The main problem is that when you start typing message in the new message screen the screens laggs while you type with some speed on HTC keyboard... rather it laggs even with very slow speed....
I dont think this lagg occurs with other keyboards like finger keyboard....
This also doesnt manifest in the sense messaging screen even with HTC keyboard when you are having a conversion with someone......(attached picture no 2)
but if you jump to the windows conversation screen the Laggs comes back again.....(attached picture no 3)
Even though our blackstone is a year and half old now. but that is no excuse for laggs in one of the very basic functions of a cell phone and we all payed top dollar for it when we purchased it ...
There was a simliar kind of issue of Lagg in touchPro... that was fixed by a simple registry tweak by developers. that doesnt work for our devices..
so there has to be somefix for it... and if not hopefully this thread will motivate someone to find a fix for it or chefs to find some solution for it....

from what i remember from touch pro forum was that they removed the word counter from the messaging screen and the keyboard lagg was gone. they used a registry tweak for it. same might apply to us. can someone with the knowhow of where to find that entry in registry share wuth us how to do it so that we try it.

Disable the vibration for the keyboard and the lags go off. But as it is I find RAM (Free Memory) reducing day by day with newer versions of ROM floating and I think poor HD cannot take it and hence entire operation lags...It's time to switch to HTC android mobiles...HTC EVO..

Unlike all of the other fixes that are aimed at the keyboard I did some playing around with "thread_sms.htm" in the windows folder. There's an arguement in there called "count" which calls some function that calculates the characters in the message after every letter. Removing this arguement stops tmail from calculating the character count thus eliminating the keyboard lag.
IF SOMETHING BREAKS JUST DELETE THREAD_SMS.HTM AND WINDOWS WILL RECREATE IT.
I have attached the HTM that I modified in case you don't want to do the editing yourself.
Summary:
Open Total Commander
Browse to the Windows folder
Look for "thread_sms.htm"
Hit file and go to edit
Scroll down (it's pretty short so it shouldn't be that far) and look for "count" then delete it. It's the only one in there so no need to worry about deleting the wrong one.
Save and restart the phone.
Enjoy!
Some of you wanted to see what I actually modified and where count was in the htm file.
Code:
<html XMLNS:Inbox>
<head>
<object id="HTMLFormFactory" CLASSID="clsid:29d48cf7-ed6a-4a9d-a17a-ae9115c07a90" />

</Inbox:ComposeSubject>
</div>
</body>
</html>
So just delete the part in green!
Update - 17/06/09
I made another change to compose_sms.htm that gets rid of the

display. It's just a blank window now and doesn't look like a broken counter was just placed there.
Here's my compose_sms.htm

Just add those two comment tags: <!-- and -->
They are highlighted in green for ease of finding. Alternatively you could just delete everything in between those comment tags for the same effect. I left it in there in case I wanted to add a little signature or logo or something.
Also added the attachment for compose_sms.htm
-Side note: I've done alot of flashing and I found that if you don't hard reset right after replacing or if you have SMS open it doesn't completely overwrite it and corrupts it a little. Make sure to reset right after replacing so windows doesn't have time to try to replace it (which is why I think it breaks).
fr0st was kind enough to make up a cab, I attached it to this post.

Apparently also disabling the vertical scroll bars (which are not required for WM6.5) also helps remove the lag when typing

Hi, I removed the count from the messaging, and the 0/130 thing to and my messaging is now so much quicker
...but how do I remove the vertical scroll bars? because i dont need them, and i can just scroll by swiping the screen
thanks
EDIT: I did it through advanced config! although is there any way of removing the scroll bars for certain apps only?

Thanks Alot for the fix... i tried ur SMS fix.cab.... works like a charm.... no more lagg issues.And i updated the first post saying that ur solution in post 4 works... although i didnt try that removing scroll bar thing... if you could shed some light on it. or post a cab for removing that or give link for some software that removes the scroll bars that would be great...

I think Advanced Config has the option for removing the vertical scroll bars but just in case I have attached the CAB file to do it for you

I'm using wm6.5 with sense 2.5

Do you use threaded SMS because I think it doesn't work with threaded or vice versa for some reason. I have attached another thread_sms.htm file for winmo 6.5, give it a try

i applied your both fixes on wm 6.5.x with sense 2.5 and i use threaded sms and they worked perfectly for me......
st3ph3nt3 can u check if the new file bigdyl69 posted ... if it works for u. if so let us know and ill update the first post.....
also did you reset the phone right after installing the cab file and not opening the new message... as bigdyl69 mentioned in his post 4 that if you dont do tht windows might overwrite the newly written file....

Just noticed that the fix is for non htc messaging. Sorry, I'm using htc messaging version.

hehehe... its ok ....i think the name of the thread is quite clear... its WM Messaging... not HTC Messaging...

Sorry it didn't work for you but HTC messaging is notorious for being a bit slow at best anyway, don't think I'll be using it for some time. Anyway, I'm glad the fixes posted have helped, they work a treat for me

Size of "SMS reply" screen

Hi everybody!
I'm french, so sorry for my bad english... I'll try to write as well as possible!
I bought HTC Diamond yesterday and I'm very satisfy by it! But i would change something in "SMS reply" screen.
We can reduce font size of the old conversation but can we also reduce the "box" where this conversation is writing in in order to enlarge The "box" where we have to write to reply?
Is someone has an idea?
Still sorry for my english....

If you use the zoomwheel around the dpad (like you would for zooming in opera or camera album), you can increase/decrease the font size of the conversation.
Not sure how to enlarge the reply box tho.

Excellent!!! That's exactly what I want !!!
Thanks !!!
I try with Resco Explorer but it always tells me "File Rom". How do you edit this file ?
Thanks a lot
Excellent suggestion. Got it solved and it works like a breeze now.
thanks for the help
sounds great but..
This is also something that I have wanted to change. However, I can't get it to work. What values are people using for XX?
wow, thanks for this solution! Just two lines were really annoying before.. ;-)
I tried height=70 and it works! You can read the 4 last lines you wrote! That's better!
I edited this file by copy thread_sms.htm on my computer. I removed "read only" option and modify height=35 to height=70. Next I upload this file on "my document" folder. With Resco File explorer, I removed "read only" option in the original file then I copy the modified file from "My Document" to "Windows". The original files has been overwriting. Finally, I checked "read only" on the new file property.
embarrasing
I realise this seems crazy, but I can't get it to work and have no managed to corrupt the file. Could someone post their copy of thread_sms or pm me so I can have it emailed
the problem for me seems to be that thread_sms is a ROM file.. Even if I delete it with total commander it reappears after a soft reset

I just gave it a try with total commander. works like a charm ... i only hat to do a soft reset until the new settings were applied.
Brilliant!
I've been wandering how to do this since I got the thing cause the reply box was tiny!
I'm now on the 2nd smallest font, with the box set at 50 and I get 4 lines - which is perfect.
Can someone add this to the tweaks list?

If it stucks after the second boot, just press on the startmenu once.
Do someone know how you can hide the error reporting icon in the control panel? I've tryed this:
Code:
<characteristic type="HKLM\ControlPanel\ErrorReporting" translation="filesystem">
<parm name="Hide" datatype="integer" value="1"/>
</characteristic>
but it's still there..

Congrats for yr SWE rom. Try this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Error Reporting]
"Group"=dword:3
"Redirect"=""
It will hide the error reporting from display but you still need to remove the dll and association in order to free the space and resource.
Thanks jackleung, i think i have removed all the things that's associated with it now, but it's not fully tested so i would be very happy if someone could try it out
EDIT:
It worked, thank you! I just forgot a space...
after installing your rom and hardresetting it, the screen calibration wont show up, i need to go into settings and screen to calibrate, is this working in the new 1.2?
Yes, everything that was not working in 1.0 is fixed, after the second boot you may need to press the startmenu, then it working just normal

well its not, no screen calibration or time setting, cant get programs to work, but works with all other roms in this forum. ex. s2v
I removed screen calibration and time settings in the beginning as i thougt it's kinda useless, but i will consider adding it. I have not had any problem with any app but i will look into it.
EDIT: Strange, every 2s app workes for me :S I'm going to try to install a clean install and check how it workes, hold on

got it! a dir called by s2v did not exist.. looking into other issues...
okey, so it was no wrong with the rom? thank you so much for testing it as i have no time to do it on my own i thinking of maybe readd the business stuff like ipsec and the whole enterprise package, what do you all think? should a lite rom include the whole enterprise package?
Can this rom be used in English? Thanks
This rom can be installed on a english device and it is only in swedish, hope i answered your question
yes you did. Thank you.
Will it enable ÅÄÖ?
Will this Rom enable ÅÄÖ On my keyboard, at my english Experia?

text conversation window nightmare

Hey all,
Got my new diamond. Love it to bits. Only one bit that's started to drive me round the bend. There must be a solution somewhere.....
I was quite pleased to see the text message conversation feature - you know the one where you can type beneath a text you've recieved to reply and reffer to the previous text as you're doing so, also if you scroll up you'll see your whole convo with that contact. Nice feature....
However:
The window for replying in is SO SMALL that I can't actually read what I'm typing. I get almost the lenght of a whole letter in it so i can kind of read a few words but scrolling is impossible.
The scroll up and down arrows are right next to each other.
It's highly impractical and almost impossible to use. Worst when keyboard and T9 are activated.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I tried clicking on the black divider line between the original message and the reply you're typing and dragging it up.
No luck....
All help greatfully recieved (doubtless I'm missing something?)
There is a solution (have you searched?)
You need to edit thread_sms.htm in the windows folder. You'll need to use Total Commander to edit the file because it's a protected ROM file.
Or just use the newer, smaller keyboards that are just as practical and take less of the screen.

Not sure which keyboards you mean but it won't help since the reply section of the page is a fixed height. Altering it so that you can see more than one line of the reply can be very useful.
On the subject of keyboards, I want to recommend TouchPal (again) - not only is the keypad resizable (by dragging), it has better T9 input and the word candidates don't stick up above the top of the keyboard. This means the window resizing works properly and it doesn't have the bug on tapping the screen when selecting a candidate in Opera.

Yep searched google repeatedly before I came here. Figured google would turn results up from here but hey, could just be my dyslexia. Thanks for the help. I'll see what I can find on here about total commander and thread_sms.htm to figure it out.
Wish me luck
Thanks a lot guys! That solved it I REALLY appreciate the help.
If anyone else has the same problem it's as the guys said: google 'total commander pda' get the .cab file from their site (you want the Pocket PC one obviously).
Install it by popping it on your diamond and clicking it on file explorer.
Then use the file menu to search for 'thread_sms.htm'
When it shows up click the edit button (first icon, the one to the right of the word 'show' bit of paper with a pen next to it).
I changed the height on one of the lines contained 'composesubject' and width 98% from 35 up to 70. Saved and went back into sms.
Tada.
Beutiful three lines.
Thanks again to all who helped and search for thread_sms.htm on this site if you need more help as a lot of the guys have solved it.
Lastly for the google folks here are a few words that might help them find this:
diamond sms window screen too small one line tiny conversation text message reply can't read

O2 homezone fix needed!!

People downloading the cab: please drop a line after using the software how does it work for you, and also what ROM are you using!
Tested the updated CAB, and found it working with RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2_Radio_52.49a. 25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship. Many thanks to K_Hismoom, Cactus World and others for contributing!!
Dear All,
As with all other devices, replacing O2 German ROM with any other ROM disables one useful feature: homezone indication gone! (homezone is specific to O2 Germany, within a desired "homezone" call rates are less).
Can anyone please help with this?? (Older fixes like "battery status" don't work on new devices)
Thanks and best regards!!
I've attached the cab-file. Just ignore the warning, it works like a charm.
the cab will show homezone status on manila or just on phone dialer (upper right corner) ?

Dear chr5s11,
I flashed: RUU_BlackStone_HKCSL_WWE_1.19.831.0_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship
And first thing, I installed "O2Homezone.cab," it gave warning "not suited for your system" (perhaps you said so), went on with installation, restarted, but icon is not showing even while in homezone.
I checked, following files are presnt under /Windows:
- HZService.dll
- YT_AP_bt_homeDn.png
- YT_AP_bt_homeDn_mask.png
- YT_AP_bt_homeUp.png
- YT_AP_bt_homeUp_mask.png
- YT_Home_Dn.png
- YT_Home_Up.png
- YT_PB_TitleBar_home_l.png
- YT_PB_TitleBar_home_p.png
Can you give me more information which registry values to check or what could be wrong??
Many thanks in advance!

Never mind... Well now I have checked the cab with RUU_BlackStone_HTC_Europe_1.14.401.2_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship ; still no homezone icon on homescreen (sometime it does appear on phone dialer, probably depending on the type of network. Well I'm sure I'm not the only one having problems.... the original thread at http://www.mobil-talk.de/htc-xda-mda-vda/2986-o2-homezone-symbol.html also reports this problem... so for now its no fix.

This cab is originally intended for the Touch Pro. And it currently works in GSM and 3G mode. Try if it works when switching your phone to GSM only. If so, it is a O2 problem related to their SIM card and network and the best, O2 can fix it for you. It does work in 3G even though some of the hotline call agents deny that - they plainly do not know better ( I had to call several times, let them open trouble tickets and so on until I got it working in 3G, too.).
The only issue I am experiencing right now is that when HSDPA is available it stops working - but again, I assume that this is a "fault" on O2's side as well.

If so, it is a O2 problem related to their SIM card and network and the best, O2 can fix it for you. It does work in 3G even though some of the hotline call agents deny that - they plainly do not know better ( I had to call several times, let them open trouble tickets and so on until I got it working in 3G, too.).
The only issue I am experiencing right now is that when HSDPA is available it stops working - but again, I assume that this is a "fault" on O2's side as well.

I am experiencing this same "problem" on the stock O2 ROM, in GSM I have the homezone icon, as soon as I have 3G enabled, it is gone (I always have HSDPA in my homezone, did not disable it for testing, so it could be that the icon reappears when I only have 3G available).
So if you get the homezone icon when in GSM mode, the cab works on the HD.

Well, I think when disabling the HSDPA mode via the settings menu it should give you the homezone indicator as well - unless there's something wrong with the SIM or O2 network.

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

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.

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/showpost.php?p=3800829&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)

Read carefully the whole thread - there seems to be some troubles with the cab (works only cooked?):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3586516#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/showpost.php?p=3716251&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!)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3756267&postcount=3463
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,
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??
@fallen spartan
please, let's keep this tread for fixes (problems solved) and not starting a [email protected] 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
bluetooth AVRCP (remote control)
What about the bluetooth AVRCP bad egg, it calls the crappy media player everytime I press the buttons on my stereo headset, any fix for that ? just want to have the windows mobile normal AVRCP

No probs. Apologies
Contacts BUG (doesn't read SIM contacts):
(in Manilla 3 ROM Topaz/Rhodium; Davideuck_V-3_HP,OS 5.2.21014,ORIGINAL RHODIUM OEMs,[18-3-09, UPDATED]!!!)
TY for the new version; testing it atm.
1 big issue I ran into:
When I go to Messages, and create a New text message, then under Menu > Add Recipient; I can *only* select from my Contacts & Company Directory; but *not* from my SIM card.
Can anybody else see the contacts on their SIM there, or it's a bug? Personally, I want to keep my contacts only on my SIM, because it makes the flashing easier, and if my phone would break, I would still have all contacts on my SIM...

Many people asked to hide sim contacts in all the roms, in "old" roms too. So, in my rom they are hidden by default and there's ING_HideSIM_V_2_1 too.
Now, you can try a thing(I don't know if it'll work becouse I'm testing WM6.5 now, I'm sorry for this), change this reg key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
ShowSIM=1
P.S.: I'm sorry becouse I have no time in these days to follow the forum, but I'm busy with my "normal" life too

Thnx! Worked fine on WinMo 6.1
I have a feeling everyone knew this except me... but
If you are getting the double contact suggestion list with writing an SMS, you can disable the WM suggestions with the reg key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Inbox\RecipientAutocomplete]
"MaxSuggestions"=dword:0
Everything works fine for me after that.
