Make the Diamond's Touch-Zoom Wheel Work in Other Programs

File under: News

Some more registry tweaks have been found at XDA-Developers that allow you to make the circular touch-sensitive zoom area around the action button on the Touch Diamond work in other programs besides Opera, the Photo viewer, the Messaging application, and Google Maps.

The hack is not easy however, since you need to know the Class name of each application you want to add, and you have to add each application to the registry individually.

This post details the registry edits:

For example if you want to enable scrolling in Resco Explorer using the touch wheel.

Create a key and value, as below

HKLM/Software/HTC/SmartTouch/RescoExplorer
(String Value) ClassName = RESCO_EXPLORER_CLASS
(DWORD Value) Mode = 4
(DWORD Value) WheelCount = 2

Soft reset.
If you want to use other apps, you must know app's class.

RescoPhotoViwer's class = RESCO_PICVIEW_CLASS
InternetExplorer's class = IExplore
File Explorer 's class = FEXPLORE
CorePlayer's class = wCorePlayer
etc...

Dword Value "WheelCount"
1 = Movement of one every 36 degrees
5 = Movement of one every 180 degrees
10 = Movement of one every 360 degrees
