Hi there,

Unfortunately there are some issues at this point of time.

For more info check here

For the time being, only seasoned 838proers should try this. That too after backing up.

After trying every test (must have hard reset my system close to 15 times, but always got things back thanks to Sprite 5.0), had given up trying to use mortscript to write directly to registry.

Thanks to Gohyc for his idea, to use a .reg file. Now we have a stopgap, but not a solution as it'll only work if Resco File Explorer is installed too.

The script runs the messaging app when the system startsup after soft-resets, it waits a finite period of time before minimizing. Depending on the system's speed, you can make it minize faster, however, the default setting as attached seems to work the best.

Installation
The cab contains= The script + .reg + mortscript.exe + readme.txt + commands.txt + lnk= 82kb
The readme and commands.txt use up 42kb.
The exe version is 3.1 and can be downloaded separately.
Have taken the liberty to pack the exe, so that it'll take up as little space as possible.

Limitations.
1. Resco File Explorer Needed
2. Must be done in Portrait mode else errors will occur. Not device threatening but irritating nonetheless ;).

Tests
Only my 838pro, and my Pas. PLEASE BACKUP before Testing

Mortscipt.
Its a freeware macro or batch file reader that can automate many tasks. Have so far done another script that will activate bluetooth activesync correctly with a script.

Special Mention
to Gohyc for his contributions. And to ktka (of xda-developers of making the regkey known)

Disclaimer
Can't say this enough. Please please do backup before trying this.

*Version 0.2.1 has been uploaded. Script now has longer delays, and thus far runs more true. (these delays unnoticeable by the end user).

cal.reg file included contains this key:
CalibrationData="491,516 756,221 757,805 233,801 236,220 "

Cab files have been replaced, See Post #8

had a screen misalignment.

Since i've mapped it to a keypress, once run, i had to turn off my device for about 20sec, before everything was realigned.

Do notice that sometimes the wait is not enough and it won't auto dismiss itself.

I have since increased the time out delay. For those brave souls that have tried this script, do you have the same problem. Do you need me to increase the timeout.

Am awaiting any feedback. Thanks

Can this be used on the 838 ? *wondering*

well buck, if its a 2.8" screen then it should hold. However, would really recommend you backup first before trying.

To be doubly sure,
do a screen alignment first.
using resco registry, look at your values in
\HKLM\Hardware\devicemap\touch.
Look at the CalibrationData regkey.

Press and Hold on "Touch", select export.
Save the file as "cal.reg"
Copy the cal.reg wherever you've saved it too (i couldn't navigate or save it directly into \program files\mortscript\) and put it in \program files\mortscript

Then it should work, regardless. All the same do backup before trying.
You

Just updated to ver 0.2.1. Please see post #2 for more details

sad to say, after running the autoaligner (Resco .reg file version) you have to switch off for 10-20sec for system writebacks, then soft-reset for the changes to be effectuated.

This 1 min 30sec delay to get the screen aligned does take its toll on patience.

Hence am sticking to the original method. The script now just runs the control panel screen alignment, then awaits for you to tap the 5 (+)s. Once completed, you're screen's aligned.

Limitations
Works only on potrait mode.

ToDos
Still can't figure out the capturing of the windows title for "Screen align", the one when the 5 pluses come out. Any help, will be greatly appreciated.

Cabs.
Contains one with mortscript, one without.
Those of us that have mortscipt already installed, install the ScreenAlignwithoutMortscipt.cab.

Both cabs will place a shortcut in your start menu\programs.

Because spare time was possible with the [tsu] lever after a long time, with previous disassembly it could not correct completely, in order that the tap screen it slips and slips and cancels problem, now one time CHT9000 was disassembled.

Preparation careful it is not, whether there probably is also such a thing, that in Hiroshima* It had had the type driver!

And, when you say from conclusion, it slipped and slipped and cancelled problem completely!
It is not, the genius! \ ^o^/[ha] ゙ [nsa] ゙ [i]

… Well, you will try looking at the photographic playback. This time furthermore, it could separate also the liquid crystal.

First, it is back of the liquid crystal framework! And, the dense Tsuga it slips and slips and it is cause of problem.
This criminal

This time however there is no relationship, the baseplate of the button. With respect to the left- Is “the viewphone” button.
Is not hTc Z?

This is the liquid crystal!
You took at last!

Well, that when you say, it slipped and it did what in order to cancel the gap, the sponge seal of the part which is stretched on the framework which inserts the liquid crystal, contacts with the liquid crystal was peeled!

Well, it is difficult to explain. ## (--#)

In other words like this is!

With the first photograph in the place where the liquid crystal is inserted the black sponge seal is pasted in letter type “of [ro]”, but is, with this photograph peeling one side, it probably will be recognized or that it becomes letter type “of [ko]”!?

Truth should take the first photograph with the same angle, it is it is the [tsu], but is, what you become aware was after resetting to all origins, (the ^^ HKDRT

In any case, it slipped with this and the gap stopped completely happening. Well, it is splendid.
Perhaps, the sponge being too thick, unreasonable tension depends on the touch screen, the sensor causes the malfunction and slips and slips and probably causes problem.

“You obtained and -, the rubbish became easy to enter from the place where the sponge is peeled it is it is not!?”
How, as for uncouth question doing, is not good.

But outside the storm, it is not, heart is fine weather!
Well, general/universal passing, it probably is how happy what, \ (^o^)/

I personnally think that those with the screen alignment problem shouldnt try to get use and live with it, send to service center and get the lcd replace!

Just found out on wiki that you don't need this app/script at all.

Screen alignment can be accessed by pressing the dpad action button + the email button.
