ptt fix in wm6

I have the leaked wm6 from AT&T and my fix to remap the PTT button (by default to the voice dialing) no longer works, did anybody make a new version ?
Thanks.

Look in post 2 in this thread, it works on my AT&T 8525

It's setup that way, you have to manually configure the setting for Button 5.
Go to settings > buttons.
The program will show two Button 5's:
Button 5 (Press and Hold) File Explorer
Button 5 {configure as needed}
That should get you going.

With the "official" AT&T WM6 ROM, the traditional PTT Fix doesn't work.
Just an FYI for everyone else who wants to try to answer this.
However, stesul411 did provide the correct link to the updated version that will work.

Re-mapping the Camera button?

Hello,
I have a Dopod D810 and would like to change the behaviour of one of the buttons on my device.
Currently pressing and releasing Button 2 once (right-hand side, towards base) will launch the Camera:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
What I would like to do is to is change the Camera to only launch when Button 2 is set to 'Press & Hold', much in the same way <Rotate Screen> is currently set up. How do I add a button definition for 'Button 2 (Press & Hold)'?
BTW, tried installing AE Button Plus but it's waaaay too complicated for what I need!
Thanks in advance!

*bump*
Anyone?

I think you really need to use third party software, because HTC doesn't allow to have a 2nd function to camera button. I use AEButton plus and it's not that complicated, you'll have the chance to also assign a function to a double press. I use the voice dial, camera and softkeys mapped. BTW by mapping camera button you'll have to use the action button for pictures.

Phone app path

Hi,
I'm trying to remap my left softkey to the phone application.
What path do I need to find the Phone application? I can't find it.
Just te be clear:
I'd like my left soft key on the today screen to link to this app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Where can I find the right path?

Errrm...why do you want a softkey link to the Phone? just pressing the dial button will start it...
anyway, Phone is somewhere in the Windows directory if I remember correctly(I recall seeing it there once...).

Old habits I guess, I want a Phone button on my screen.
I can't find one in the Windows directory (latest PDAViet rom).
I just fixed it by linking to
\Windows\Start Menu\Phone.lnk

That's a way to have it work too...

GScroll - maybe a replacement for the missing dpad?

Hi,
I'm new to HTC devices, so maybe it was already discussed for the HD, although I couldn't find anything.
I know there are many of you are missing the dpad, and I think a dpad is really helpful in some situations. By watching some reviews on the Diamond I just found a little application called GScroll.
It includes a really nice functionality called "'Swipe' to Scroll":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As I don't have my device yet I'm not sure if it would work on the HD, but maybe it could, or at least it could after some modification.
Maybe it would be possible to use the "home" and "back" button as a dpad, that would be really cool. Another possible solution would be that by pressing the "back" button you enable the functionality and then could use the "home" button as dpad. So you "loose" just one button at all.
So I'm asking you, if you could give it a try. Maybe we have to write to the author(s) in order to support the HD, but I don't know why it shouldn't work at all.
Any input is appreciated.

It does not work on my HD.
I hoped that it may work sometime.

I have solution to left and right. just slide on this hardware buttons
ups this right and left should be change by side. right -> left <-

your solution? how? still gscroll??

Onscreen buttons for old games/apps

Is there any way to get buttons overlayed on old applications?
Today i installed tony hawks pro skater 2 on my hd2 and it works fine but i cannot cannot control the char.
The game uses only 4 overlayed buttons:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

I canged filp and grind to move left and right but now i need 2 more buttons, is there any fix for this? which file must be edited?
(i use the hw accelerated version)

someone created a virtual d-pad that puts a d-pad overlay on the screen. I'll try to find the thread.

Hi, you could use LMTs multitouch gamepad for that. It can be used as an overlay in any app and has direction arrows + 8 customizable buttons. See screenshot (used with FPSEce):

Here, I found the thread. I think this might work well.

Let me know how it works if you try it.

thx for your replys, i tried both apps but the vdpad dont work with tony hawk because it get overlayed by the game. But i think it is a very useful tool.
Are there any other suggestions?
