Guest Pagemakers Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The new e200 rom permanently turns ClearType on. Even modding the registry I can see no way of turning it off. Can one of the bods develop a program to turn ClearType for all of us non-fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tooney Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 This must be possible as it was done the other way round when the E200 first launched, turning cleartype on. I don't understand why there has not been a reverse version of it released yet as it appears to just be a case of changing a 1 to a 0 in a registry key. I guess the makers of the original tweak love cleartype and think we all should keep it too. Oh well roll on the newer Windows Mobile devices with proper higher res screens, until then we'll have to squint at our 'improved' blurry screens.

Guest Pagemakers Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Sadly, you can not just turn ClearType off using the registry as you did before the update. The new OS will not let you remove the ClearType keys from the registry. Phone unlocked or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest spacecowboy6982 Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I know - knew someone was gonna say that lol but to be honest "I" couldnt really tell the difference other than it looked just a little neater :?: Good luck in finding a solution tho :!: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nedge2k Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Ive been tryin but the PHM editor crashes when searchin! Found two cleartype values and set them to 0 with .cabs. and still nothing. The 2k3 sdk wont connect to my device and gives errors so i cant search remotely.

Guest Pagemakers Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Orange told me this, but sadly it does not work either! To get rid of ClearType - remove the registry keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemGDIClearType HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEGDISYSFNTQt and then reboot. To return to ClearType - add the registry keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemGDIClearType HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemGDIClearTypeQuality as a DWORD of value '1' HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEGDISYSFNTQt as a DWORD of value '5' and then reboot.

Guest nedge2k Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 There is another Cleartype value in HKLMSoftwareMicrostoftShell Which was set to 1 but ive now put it to 0. With that and the other values set to 0, f**king cleartype is still there! Will we never be rid of this!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Don't think so :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nedge2k Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 To get rid of ClearType - remove the registry keys  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemGDIClearType HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINEGDISYSFNTQt and then reboot. Did you actually delete these keys or set the data of the values inside them to "0"? If so, how did you delete them coz whilst playing around with this a made a few too many reg values :oops: and can only set them to "0" instead of deleteing them. What xml did you use for the .cab's? Just rang O and they told me its an MS problem and to call them on: 08706010100 Who did you get throught to? I was talking to lvl1 support who were talking to lvl2 for me :roll: Didnt know anything...idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I can nether delete them not set them to 0. RegEdit just says can not update those values! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tooney Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 If you added values with a cab you should be able to remove them with remove programs in settings. I've used cabs to set all these values to 0 but still no joy. They stay on 0 after reboot but cleartype stays on. There must be another value hidden somewhere, it's just a matter of time before someone finds it or gets some sense out of O or MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 But don't forget we have since had the update. The cleartype on/off settings worked before the update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shardy Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Maybe it's just me, but I can't really notice the difference whether cleartype is on or off. I could just be blind tho! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rob.P Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 I like cleartype anyway but didn't like the fact that the font after the update looked all skinny and weak so I applied the cleartype.cab tweak again and the font now seems to be in bold which looks alot better.

Guest martin Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 This may not help cos i'm using the SPV and you probably already know this but what the hell :) I can turn clear type on/off for Internet Explorer using the following. HKEY_L_MSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrent VersionInternet Settings Values ClearTypeText (o=off, 1=on) Phone reset Probably different for the E200 ? Posted from my SmartPhone!

Guest Pagemakers Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Martin the new update prevents you from changing these settings using reg edit. Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest martin Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Damn I see what you mean then :) I like playing with the registry. It's a shame when parts of become blocked. Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pagemakers Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 Problem is some things look good with clear type and others awful. I am sure in the next update there will be an on off option, or at least I hope. Posted from my SmartPhone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
