Using the volume slider to scroll? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi,
I was messing with the beta of the mozilla web browser the other day (it is on the ftp site, but I wouldn't bother with it yet!) and I noticed that it let you use the volume slider to scroll the page like a scroll wheel.
Sadly in the normal apps like IE and email it just changes the volume.
Does anyone know if there is any way to make the slider act as a scroll wheel in these apps? It is a standard thing on many pocket pcs and would be wonderful if you could use it whilst reading emails.
Cheers
Marc

Yeah that would be really useful for email and webbrowsing (eg. Avantgo). Anybody know how? Might be a registry hack.

Yes there is a volume slider re-mapper. I use it on my Blue Angel. Got it off a thread on one of the forums here. Keep searching

Of course it's possible.
Here is a page where I explain how to do it but I'm sorry it's in french :?
If needed I will translate it... :?:

Hey that right, the translation isn't so bad :wink:
2 points : you've got to copy
- 'unmap_volume.exe' and 'AddHotkeys.exe' in the repertory /Windows/Start
- 'SimUp.exe' and 'SimDown.exe' in the repertory /Windows/Starting Menu/Programs
Thanks again to Mamaich

Works great! Thanks!!!

I just noticed that starting from 1.11 ROM it allows to remap up-down volume buttons for any purpose how great!
P.S. e.g. it works in Betaplayer, HaaliReader, Resco AudioRecorder

PHM Task Manager doesn't seem to kill the processes in order to uninstall AddHotkeys.exe....any suggestions?

You have to use activesync "explore" feature to change the extension to something else (eg. addhotkeys.ex1). Then, soft reset, and it will say that it can't be run. Then delete it!

Other application like MortButtons

Hello,
Are there other applications wich works like MortButtons ?

What's wrong with MortButtons? Did you check out the latest beta? (scroll down to end of thread for the latest update)
btw: Since it's often confused (and I think about renaming due to it), MortButtons has nothing to do with the button assignment itself, it's just a menu/launcher tool optimized for "single button" use. It work's fine in combination with BtnPlus, ButtonMapper, and similar tools.
Hello Mort,
My problem was that MB wasn't showing Pocket Outlook (calendar, ...) correctly...
A nice feature in SmalMenu is the possibility to close all runnig applications in one click. Is it possible with MortButton?
I'm going to try the beta version...
Thanks in advance and long life to MortButtons.

Not as such. Getting the list of running applications is a bit tricky, and I don't want to kill any wrong tasks (like WisBar or such)...
But you might include other tools like PHM Keys.

About PHM Keys, the close function works well by itself (if affected to a real button) but it doesn't when affected to MortButton ? Is it normal ?

WM5.o Compatible close button needed!

has anybody come across a one button close all application for WM5.0? Spb 3.0.1 is too slow on WM5 and Wisbar Advance 2.4.....is also too much for what is needed. Something like Magicbutton but written for WM5.0 would br nice, nothing that requires much memory, but something that enables the closing of running apps without having to go into start/settings/system/memory...etc.
Wouldn't it be nice if Microsoft had just written in that piece of code, as they are well aware that since PPC2000, that every application opened, remains so unless you manually close it down in memory (therefore hogging memory resources!) :evil:
Well if anyone knows of a WM specific solution, please do share.

I added couple files which they are usefull for you and they include the closeall app.
Install the cab files you'll see the close all, Reset and Running programs, which they can be clicked from the systray directly, after the installation they require a soft reset or else you go to Start>Programs>System open TrayLaunch and press Enable
GSPocketMagic++ is the most stable program I've tried. You need to put some amended bitmaps in to get it to integrate with WM5 but it works well...

Thanks guys. I'll try them both and let you know how I get on.

sub69: I don't know what kind of coding they used in that software you recommended, but it has boosted refresh rates and performance in general by at least 30%!! I know this sounds crazy but it's true! My opinion has completely changed about the speed of the Jasjar. It seriously Rocks! I couldn't care less if it doesn't stay this way, because it shows me conclusively, that future ROMs' will probably address the issues I have had thus far.
I needed this. Thanks a bunch sub69; best link I've had with regards to Universal software.
OK 1 gripe only: I've lost my two soft buttons on the bottom bar (any ideas?). It comes back and stays operational after a soft reset, but as soon as I use the 'close all' option of the program, I loose the soft keys! Damn..there's always a hitch!
Another positive though, the speed boost remains even after I have exited the program and revert to standard WM5.0 launcher!
P.S. I had at least 12 programs running simultaneously with no slow downs at all and 15 megs of Memory still available (tried to run out of memory, But couldn't). Very pleased at the moment, this is what I was expecting from the HTC Universal!! I'll test extensively before I comment further.
Thanks again sub69, u da Man!!
Mental...I didn't realise it was that good!?!
Not sure about the soft buttons, although come to think of it I have noticed they've disappeared a couple of times. Must've been when I hit "Close All" too?
Glad I could help, anyway. Do let us know how things go...

Still cannot believe it!! It's still going strong. Sussed the soft button thingy:Under start (GSPocket)/options/settings...uncheck the 2 tabs for'use exten task close' & 'Use Today skin'. That's it. It runs absolutely perfectly for me & with no need for amended bitmaps too! It fits right in wih my red or blue border themes (I only use my own jpegs now instead of themes - in the hope that I get no performance issues.....so far so good). Under menu settind tab I only select close all & setting (which gives me quick access to all settings in WM5.0..personal & system) and under 'click' tab I leave it as default 'Menu'. I'm so impressed with this software, I didn't think non-specific WM5 software coul be this good!
That site you recommended is also tops!
This software is so good that I must put up a new thread to inform all of your wonder find. I just hope all who try it get the same experience I'm getting. Thanks again sub69....I don't even feel the need for the next ROM update/grade...though I won't be turning it away.
Hmmm, not sure why you're that stunned. I'm finding it just fine - but certainly no faster than my JJ runs under PocketPlus 3.01, and the non-VGA graphics are a real step backwards. Anyone know how to solve this?
You mention a speed improvement; can you clarify: Before this, how long did it take to rotate the screen, and how long does it take now?

That's the file you need to download for the Jasjar, then if you have an SD card reader, you can transfer it directly to it and install the .cab file by selecting it! If you don't have a card reader, let's hope you have a bluetooth dongle, as it's a small file then you can bluetooth it over. However if you have no problems with your activesync connection, just use that to dump the .cab file on your storage card somewhere or into 'My Documents' on the jasjar.
It's not complicated.

Yep, using it myself now - but no speed change over PocketPlus (even after hard reset to remove PP). Using it cos I like menu and PP didn;t offer all that much more that other apps don;t give me.

[new release] VJKeyPress

Guys, I've made a generic keypress app. I'm sure one exists elsewhere in the world, but I wrote mine.
It can be used to send any virtual key from the command line.
So you could set up a shortcut eg
VJKeyPress.exe 93
will show the "context menu" for the current app.
91 will show the start menu.
27 is the escape key.
Check it out on my website, www.vijay555.com

EDIT - 19.04.06: added -cut, -copy, -paste.

Great ! Very useful !
I was wondering whether it is possible to activate/desactivate the GPRS with your keypress app ? :?:
Hmm, never thought about it. Are there no hacks already around for this?
If not, stick a request on my forum on my website and I'll try to get around to it if no one else does.
V
No, never find a hack for this...
Ok, I'm going to write a request on your forum for this :wink: thanks !

Are you looking for this app? http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33313&highlight=gprs+disconnect
cktlcmd - I don't think that's quite what he wants. He wants an executable that will disconnect from GPRS.
If no one else comes up with one, I should be able to write one.

Thanks for the link :wink:
Unfortunately, this is not what I'm looking for...
I'm looking for a little software that can be launch by a shortcut (or directly) in SPB Pocket+ or XBar that can activate/descativate GPRS Connexion.

Hi ViJAY555,
iam searching for a tool where i can easily copy stuff to the clipboard. I have seen this at my trial of Wisbar Advanced that i can configure each item in the taskbar to open a clipboard menu to copy and paste stuff.
Iam wondering for a long time why this is not possible also on the PDAs likley on the PC you pressing CTRL-C and CTRL-V.
The life would be much easier... I thought on your VJKEYPRESS but havent found any key for that. Maybe you know another tool whith this functionality?
topcaser: I believe the PHM Key tools includes this function.
I will be developing something to help with the clipboard, it's coming together slowly

do you have a link to the phm key tools. I googles already - not with much luck.
but i think, that you will hack anyway a good solution. In my opinion having a hardware key to copy and paste things is a great added value.
Topcaser - I don't have a link with me. I think they're posted on the forum somewhere. If we get stuck, I'll post it from home later. If we get really stuck I'll make a new app

Yeah, PHM keys is better. PHM uses a weird API command that I can't get to work properly yet. Need to waste some more time on it when I get some time. But yes, PHM is definitely better for copy/paste.

Microphone accessory - button for Voice Command

If you push the button on the microphone which comes with the X1, it answers a call. If you push it twice it seems to call the last person you called.
Is there a way to use this button to invoke the Voice Command monitor?
Thanks
I found it easier just to re-direct the Soft Buttons!!
Left for Voice Command, Right for Comm Manager
Stuart
Yep, that's exactly what I have. Best set-up by far.
But when in the car, it would be easier to use the mic button, so I'd like to double up on Voice Command access.
So.. no-one else has managed this either?

Beside the "push once', and "double push", a "push & hold" action will call this exe such as Voice commander in my example.

Do you read? Of course it does if you are talking about the button in the pic
If you "hold" the button, yr X1 will call the exe program specified in this registry. X1 stock rom does not comes w/ any VC program and you have to install one yrself. Of course, if you put in other program like Core player, it will be start if you hold the button.

Firstly, where have I been rude? Secondly, this has nothing to do with searching. I would challenge you to find a single thread on this subject anywhere else on the whole internet, started before this one. If you're going to criticise at least make some of the criticism partially relevant.
Jackleung, thanks for the solution, but in response to your manner, if you post an arbitrary reg key (a key which has no logical connection to the described solution) and which doesn't work if the instructions are followed (due to the wrong syntax), you should expect for that solution to be met with scepticism.
Coming bach to the original topic:
I wrote a script (thanks, Mort!) that enebles the tap&hold (2-3sec) of the Microphone Button to jump to the next track in Mortplayer (if it is running).
Just copy the two files attached to the \Windows\ directory and change the Registry entry as descibed in Post #5 to

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\MP-NT.exe"

There are two different ways for the X1, to remap the soft keys. One is via the button settings in the windows settings, which is a global override which causes the buttons not to behave as softkeys anymore, and the other is via registry setting (have a look into the Wiki here), that maps specific applications to the softkeys while in today view - this way, the softkeys stay available in all other applications. I personally prefer the last approuch, because I don't like fingerprints on my screen.

No, this only works with mortplayer as you need the possibility to change the track via an exe file or at least an exe with a parameter (like in my script)...If you find a way to do this with the media panel (which i doubt you will ) we could have it...otherwise not.
