If you push the navigation Key (middle) en hold it, than klik on the clock with the stylus and hold it en than loosen the middle navigation key you have the option Run on the screen.
However when i try to use it I get an error.
Someone used this succefully?
Run Function in WM5.0
Hi Mate,
Just tried it on my Orange SPV M5000 (HTC Universal) and works fine for me.
Opens up a Run prompt box - tested by typing in 'calc' - Calculator opened up fine.
Cheers,

works also on Atom 8)
Works on O2 Exec
I think this is a very old school trick, but good to know it still works.
Well spotted, very handy...

Hi , I would like to know if anybody figured out when sending an email or SMS how to go from "To:" to the actual message you will type without touching the screen ?
The Tab key didn't work for me .
Doesn't the down arrow do it? Works for me.
V
Both Tab and the Down arrow work for me. Just tried.
Press Message button to go to Pocket Outlook.
Tap LHS soft key to select New
Type first few letters of contact's name.
When number is suggested, press down arrow to select number.
Press Enter to fill in the number.
Press Tab to move to message area.
Type message
nope it doesn't on my xda exec, if I press the down arrow, the scroll bar will go down but the cursor is still on the "to:"
I dont' have a scrollbar anywhere on the New Message screen. I'm running in VGA landscape mode though. Maybe that's the difference.
Doesn't Tab work?
nope the tab + down key didn't work, it will go down on the scroll bar but the cursor will still be on on the "to:"
You said you were on VGA landscape mode, is it with ozvga ? or did you have asetting on the phone itself ?

Yeah - it's OzVGA.
Man, it would be really annoying if I had to use the stylus to create SMS. This is the biggest benefit for me: Doing (almost) everything in the system using only the keyboard. I hope you find a solution soon.
yeah, I just have to use my dirty fingers to put the cursor in the right place :?
One quick question, I have some app like wisbar/ netfront 3.3 in VGA already, if I install ozvga will it miss it up or they will still look the same ?
Or maybe there is only one way to find out.... :wink:
If you're using WA2 with OzVGA, you'll have to switch to a QVGA version of your Wisbar theme, otherwise it'll all go very weird. Not too much of a problem though, it just takes up a bit more space in your Themes folder having two versions of the same theme, and you need to switch them manually in WA2 when you switch resolutions.
This is because the system uses 96dpi (QVGA) icons, toolbars, fonts, etc, etc when running OzVGA.
thanks, I'll have a go.
still playing with it, just wait on an update so the phone can have a decent response time, miss my xdaIIs for that but, it is another subject 8)
Still love it BTW!
jeux_1, i have the same exact issue. It was driving my pretty crazy, but it helps to know someone else has this issue. Have you found a fix?
For the last three weeks, I was using the keyboard to write SMS, and my TAB key was moving the cursor from 'To' to the body of the message...
And now, suddenly, it does only a scroll down, like the down arrow, but stay in the 'To' field... :?
Any idea :?: it's really annoying....
Does anybody have an idea about that :?:
I think it is a bug for the O2 EXEC, my friend have an Orange one and work works fine.
I don't think there is a solution and it is a bug on the O2 one. Any of you guys can confirm ?
There is as well a new guy with a new Rom I will ask him if he has the same issue.
Actually, I use a Qtek 9000, different ROM
And it was working for at least three weeks... and now, it does'nt work anymore... smth changed, but I cannot find out what
here goes my theory..... :?
Ok, I found the solution.... my TAB key works again..
The problem came from Tweaks2k2 .NET, version 3.15... as soon as I apply changes with it, the TAB behavior changes... :evil:
Hello
I want too rotation the screen of the qtek 2020. What kind of software I need????
Harry
Hello!
This was my problem too.....when I want to read pdf.'s or other stuff!
There are several applications that can help you...but....the best way I found was..installing WINDOWS MOBILE 2003 SE!! It works MORE BATTER, no resets,etc....and it have LANDSCAPE mode INCORPORATED!
If you want...contact me by e-mail in privat...and I will give you that applications!
HAVE A GREAT DAY!
i'm facing the same problem, does anyone hve the answer yet?
The API to rotate the screen doesn't exist in Wm2003. Try a virtual screen application perhaps.
V
Reflashing to one of Buzz'z/TofClock's/Vivi's verions of WM5 for the Qtek/ Himalaya has the screen rotation function builtin... works like a charm.
Cheers - Malow1
Hang on. What OS are you guys using?
WM2003SE and WM5 have it built in.
If you can't find it, check out PHM Key Tools. That has it built in. I'm writing my version soon.
V
Try this:
From WM2003SE goto Settings > Buttons and select <Rotate Screen> for one of your buttons.
Hi All,
I tried to get this tool working on my Spv M600 it closes programs but i want to switch between applications and i can't get this working is here anybody who knows how to get this working? how do i assign a button for closing the applications and another to switch between the applications?
thx in advance :wink:
Use latest PocketSwitcher v1.1. It works fine on my Dell Axim x51
I have used PocketSwitcher to switch and close applications with assigned buttons. Also, this version shows an icon on on the top taskbar. Tappping on this icon brings up a menu which lists all running apps. I can now switch to any application from here.
Needless to say, PocketSwitcher can close the application when X button is tapped, rather than minimizing it to the background by default. This is a cool feature.

Is there anyway to easily rotate the screen on the prophet (besides turning it around in your hand) other than going into settings display and changing it there?
Ive tried the registry changes to add an icon but they dont seem to work.
thanks
Try PHM key tools.
V
Well i just figured out i can do it using the built in buttons app in settings :roll: but i ideally want to keep all the existing buttons. For now ive mapped "Comm manager hold" to rotate but I want to add another button cnofig i.e OK button hold that would rotate.
I have found the registry keys which control the buttons but need some assistance in understanding them. I can copy an existing key and with a bit of fiddling have "Button 6" appear in my buttons panel but I need help configuring it to map to a button and function in the correct manner
Hello
The Orange SPV M600 came with a little desktop icon, everytime you touch it, it rotates the screen landscape portrate, left right etc.
I am guessing it operates the built in system settings. I found a CAB in the Orange Extended Rom, if it will work, I do not know, you take the risk.
I have included it here for you to try.
It Works!

Thanks 'NewSPV'. I lost this functionality when I upgraded from the M600 Rom to the Dopod ROM. Glad to have this back, as it also frees up the re-mapped 'Communication Manager' button I used to Rotate the screen. :wink:
Hi,
I installed MoDaCo screen rotate on my Qtek s200.
I finally have an icon on my Today screen!
One little drawback tho, everytime I tap the screen icon it rotates 90 degr. to the left. So the second time I tap it's upside down in landscape. The third tap brings it back to normal portrait mode.
I had hoped it just would rotate left or right and then back left or right.
Now I have to turn my phone to find the icon.
Edward
NewSVP Thanks for the CAB. Works great.
nypra1314, how is the MoDaCo screen rotate different than the M600 cab? Also where did you find MoDaCo's? I searched the forums but no sucess.
Hi niker,
I will try the M600 cab later today.
The MoDaCo cab, I found also in this forum. didn't know it until I installed. In ActiveSync\ Software it is mentioned as MoDaCo.
Thanks!! Will give MoDaCo's version now.. Cheers!
pt_screenrotate acts the same as ScreenRotate from MoDaCo. :-(
One other drawback tho, I can't locate it in software installations, to remove it, because PT is 88Kb and SR is only 42!
How do I uninstall PT_ScreenRotate please?
Edward
try AEButton
phoneAlarm has a nice little exe in it's directory called rotate.exe which flips between landscape and portrait, rather than going from right handed landscape, upside down, left handed landscape and back to portrait.
I'd post it here, but I'm sure it's copyright software. You'd probably get it in the trial version.
Wisbar 2 has function to rotate screen , with it installed you can set a hardware button to rotate portrait/landscape
On my M600 I just hold the Comm Manager button to rotate screen...
Hi,
I remember that in WM2003SE when you tapped for some seconds on the top right corner, you could select between the background running apps.
Can you do the same in WM6?
Thanks
TaskSwitcher+
I'm using taskswitcher+, great tool imho and it's free.
Just install and map it to a hardware-button (for me it's the IE-Button)
Maybe you like it too:

After installation you may have to change the delay in registry - default setting was too fast for me:
KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GreenSoftware\TaskSwitch+\Setting\CloseTimer (1 second =1000) (Soft reset required to take effect)
Try this appl:
