How to skip/get rid of ALLIGN screen?

[MonarchX]

When hard reseting or flashing your device, is there a secret way to skip the screen aligning screen?

Doubt it, because the screen align program puts the coordinates in for the stylus so that you can tap on the screen and the action you want is performed. The screen calibration is (I believe) coded into welcome.exe. Welcome.exe is the program that is executed after you perform a hard reset or you flash a rom image into the axim's rom chip.

You *might* be able to get rid of it if you make yourself a custom ROM, but you'd need to first dump some good calibration data from the registry of your own device into that ROM and then hunt down the program which runs the screen calibration. Simply removing the program from a ROM and reflashing will at best end up with a device that is simply annoying with how far off the taps are and at worst unusable requiring reflashing back to how it was. Many touchscreens are not quite the same so the same calibration data is not always relevant, manufacturers also change the specifications of devices making this even more important.

Steven has given you a good direction to head in, but I honestly don't see why you can't just live with it, you can't be reflashing or hard resetting that often can you?

Sorry for this but there's a thread here where there is an idea about bypassing the screen align, it's for an x 30 but it may give a hint, I don't have a direct link for the align screen fix and it's a long thread

What's the big deal? Just tap 4 times and you're done.

Just as a quick aside on the same subject, is there any way to align without a full hard reset?

My alignment seems to be out, but I can't seem to find a setting/option to recalibrate

Under wm5:

settings => screen => press the align screen button

Why go to a competing forum? All the information is right here at AXIMSITE:
