I have tried hundreds of different calibration values and have never gotten it quite right. What finally fixed this problem for me is to change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH/MaxCalError key from 7 to 200 and then run the screen alignment again. (Settings->System->Screen) Now everything is perfect and I can actual click directly on things instead of estimating the error. There are topics all over the internet about this problem and no one has suggested this but it is the only thing that worked for me.

THANKSSSSSSSSSSSS it works for me

Oook.
LISTEN carefully and sory for the bad English :D
Turn the phone off
connect with the USB cable to the pc
turn the phone on
now the phone is connected through active sync
on your pc ! - make a new text document (empty),save it with name - welcome.not (not welcome.txt , .NOT) save it!
now copy the new file to your omnia main memory !
disconnect the cable
reset the phone !
READY

and btw your screen is crappy ! like mine,but i live with it :)
and now you can do the registry thing like sayd my RAKIA brother :P


Thank you this worked for me. I haven't used my phone in 2 weeks... my screen got chewed on a little by my dog and calibration has been impossible. I've been waiting over a week for my new digitizer to arrive... now at least I can use my phone until it gets here. I haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the screen alignment so I can just burn a new rom that doesn't use it... Thank you, thank you

thank you ely_az! you saved my money for new digitizer.

i tried everything and spent many hours by calibrating screen, taping firmly onto the cross but without succes.

this was the only way which work for me:

"I have tried hundreds of different calibration values and have never gotten it quite right. What finally fixed this problem for me is to change the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH/MaxCalError key from 7 to 200 and then run the screen alignment again. (Settings->System->Screen) Now everything is perfect and I can actual click directly on things instead of estimating the error. There are topics all over the internet about this problem and no one has suggested this but it is the only thing that worked for me."

for those, who stayed stucked after installing new rom, which was my problem, i suggest to reinstall it with new one from qbus, http://www.modaco.com/content/i900-general...esearch-thread/ for exampe, who skipped aligning screen after install in his cooked rom.

then install PHM Registry Editor and make registry change, which is described above (7 to 200).
then run screen align from menu but be patient, because it will run just once and not 386 tymes as before. :D

job done!

thanks to ely_az again.
good luck

sorry for my bad english :P

new digitizer will fix it. if it was bearable and its just a question of getting past the alignment screen there are a number of roms with the alignment screen removed from setup for this very reason

I take it since we have redone the ROM these are not under warranty of any sort................right? I was told by verizon it was still within time period but I didnt get into all the mods I have done. If I take to a verizon store I am screwed ................ right?

this also happened to me a few months ago...
i ended up taking it in for repair and screen digitizer replacement at Samsung call center...luckily no cost, the warranty was still valid.

For some people who do not have the warranty or bought the omnia overseas, many of them did the digitizer replacement themselves.
Bought the part of the net, and DIY..

There is even a tread on how to do it.
Good luck. :D

Ok , what i did was use the txt file welcome.not and put it on the main phone memory, this bypassed the alignment screen.
so the phone would at least boot up.

then i used the reg edit change from 7 to 20 and it worked.
hope this helps.

install some registry editing software like PHM editor and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH

Find a key called MaxCalError and set it to say 30 (most likely set to 7 if its not coming out of align loop)

Click save and come out of registry editor


Now to get out of align screen itself please End call key. Been there done that :D
