Why did HTC change the way that the Hermes and Kaiser open the keyboard? Why is the thumb buttons on the opposite side now (when the keyboard is open)?
Hi all,
does someone know if it is possible to make the jog wheel usable like the DPAD?
Would be graet especially when using emulators - the dpad is not sensitive enough.
Any programs out there that create a virtual on screen D-pad?
The lack of a hardware D-pad seems to be putting off a lot of people.
Given that virtual keyboards have D-pad arrows on them, does anyone know of any software that produces a virtual D-pad on the screen without the keyboard. This would obviously save a lot of screen realestate and provide some added functionality.
If there is no such software, would anyone be interested in programming a utility. I have no experience with programming but can assist if given help.
Thanks

Yea, I know that this thread is nearly a year old, but with the recent announcements of all the new WinMobile phones with WVGA (480x800) screens but no D-pad, I was looking for such an utility too.
Possibly something that would give the top 480x640 to the app (making it think it is running on a VGA screen), and use the bottom 480x160 for a virtual D-pad and its up/down/left/right buttons.
There are a lot of older WM apps that expect and use those hard scroll keys, and without any updates possible for them, an utility like this would come in real handy.
Does anyone know of any software that would create a virtual D-pad on the HD? somethign like what the diamond has but a soft keypad on screen?
the screen is so big and i think the HD is missing a D-Pad (as discussed in the poll) its something alot of people have got used ot using and i cant live wihtout.
Maybe a cooker could make one up - il definately be in for donating!
You can use this to get a short press of the vol up/down buttons acting as cursor up/down if that helps... http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Hello everybody,
Today, I have HTC Wizard with a lot of hardware keys . I like the blackstone but I'm affraid to see that there is no hardware keys (no Dpad). I use applications that work only with Dpad (no touchscreen functions).
Have you solution to have software direction pad when applications run (Like the soft direction keys on the virtual keyboard)?
The standard SIPs provided by HTC all have "virtual" arrow keys. Most apps will work fine with these, provided that they play nice when the SIP keyboard is enabled.
Also, I'm sure D-pad specific SIPs will appear soon, and I'm hoping for a virtual D-pad solution + WVGAFIX3 combo. The 160 rows of leftover pixels when in 480x640 mode would be just great for 4-directional buttons and and action/Enter key.
However, I've had the HD for a couple of weeks, and I can honestly say that I don't miss the D-pad at all. I migrated from a smartphone (HTC Vox), so I was definitely wary. I've found that most apps/games (and the WM 6.1 GUI) work fine with touch (as they well should, on WM Professional). For the really small buttons, a finger nail or stylus is needed, but I find these occasions to be rare.
The worst example I've come acroos is Opera Mini (essential on my Vox), which is practically unusable on the HD without the stylus. Then again, I don't miss Mini when I have Opera Mobile.
Would you care to elaborate a bit on the apps you need to use?
