Hi all, posting from my 8525 so I couldn't effectively search, but is there a hack that will let both hardware OK buttons close apps (like the htc x button app) rather than "minimize" them?
TIA!
There is a program called AEbutton that let you mapping the OK to close.
But its always Close not OK.
Oh ok. I was hoping for something like a press lets the buttons act as normal and press & hold closes.
Look in the xda-developers FTP directory for the hermes.
Its called HTC X-button.cab.
It has hold to close and imediate close.
Thanks, adelamare, I'll look into that app. I was under the impression it was just an X button closer though and not for the hardware buttons.
Search for "PQzII" for Hermes.
This application do exactly what you want.

Does anyone know how to create a shortcut to Settings?
I've just recently bought and installed ProgramMenuPlus to cascade my Start Menu but only thing is that it doesn't handle the Settings menu so I need a shortcut to be placed on the Programs Menu.
Can someone help?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnppcgen/html/ppc_tcuts2.asp
I have all of my control panel plus some extras as a cascading menu in SmallMenu, with icons. If you want, I can zip them up and send them over.

thanks Vijay, you're a legend on this boards. I managed to work out that with ProgramMenuPlus, you can add an extra icon on top of the normal Start Menu (just like in Seymour) and have dual Start Menus (the MenuPlus & the original Menu).
By the way, am looking thru the list of apps you wrote...I like the VJLumos, it adds that extra brightness at night for reading and makes a good flashlight
Keep up the good work champ!!
I actually use SmallMenu and ProgramMenu.
This is my SmallMenu replacing the start menu. I never use the start menu anymore (and obviously this is without using ToggleToday, for clarity):

Then I use a much smaller ProgramMenu menu assigned to my contacts key, to just load up PIM stuff etc very quickly, eg calendar, contacts blah blah. That way it's even faster then navigating SmallMenu's submenus... I launch it with my thumb, navigate up/down with dpad and enter. Very quick..I really like SmallMenu.
Thanks for your comments
VJLumos is very much for those who like to live on the edge, but the effect is certainly worth seeing. i wonder why they didn't implement the brighter screen to begin with! I've been doing some slow work to find a better way to implement it, but I'm waiting on some slightly better tools before I can finish it...

Guys
How can I create speed-dial shortcuts on the Today screen to start a phone call directly from the today screen? Is there some good freeware that lets you do it?
I can do it using a menu .. but how do I do it as a shortcut?
- JoKer
I don't know if there's any software for this purpose, but if you don't find it you can easily implement it using an application launcher + mortscript.
iLauncher does that .. but right now .. I am trying to spend my money wisely ..
VJPhoneTools.

Vijay .. Thanks a lot, totally forgot about your apps. Now a really stupid question. How exactly do I run these apps and provide command line options on my TyTN?
Whatever's your poison. Use gsfinder/resco to make shortcuts generally.
I use claunch to launch speed dials from the today screen... but you can assign to hardware keys or other launchers etc.
One combination I'm testing right now is to use a hack I've written to assign an app to the video key, and use that to launch "Launcher" from the Samsung rom. Using Launcher I can assign a menu full of my calls, so I can switch tasks and make calls from one thumb + wheel.

Spb Diary has a photo contacts dialer that can be one-tapped-to-call from the Today screen.
i see a lot of people using many taskmanagers... which are great, like pBar and Batterystatus.. both have loads of features.
eversince i got my hands on a PDA i've used Handyswitcher which doesn't have as many features as the other 2 but it certainly has enough.. and the best thing about it is that it's very very (very very very) light.
http://www.dinarsoft.com/handyswitcher/
i don't work there or something.. just thought i'd share it with you.
(also, it's the only task manager i've used (tried many) which didn't crash even once).
here's an scr (the prog has a lot of other stuff not shown here.. i'm just using it as a pure task manager.. no other features for me)

Yes good clean and clear. no stupid menu. no huge features.
Best of all, it can use hardware button3 (Ok) to simulate [Ok] and [x] clicks.
lol i forgot to mention that. i use that ALL the time.. got a little type quirk there..
you can assign a button to click OK or Close (depends on your config) and another to open the startmenu.
I like quick menu, it replaces system start and there is no need to assign task manager to another button.
you don't NEED to assign the task manager to another button. there's an option to assign hardware buttons to popup the start menu and the OK/Close button. the taskmanager softkey sits either on the taskbar or the systray... very handy
So u either have to assign hardware button or use softkey to get to task manager. What i dont like bout softkey is that u have to be in today screen to get to it.... Windows button-Today-Softkey?
nope.. there is an option to either put the softkey in the taskbar or in the systray. so if it's in the taskbar it appears always (as long as the taskbar is visible. just like in quickmenu)

As you can see, the panel button has the Windows-flag on it! Have you seen an X1 with this button before? Is it country-specific?
as far as i know this is a old picture, SE later released pics of the phone we have with X Panel. Guess they added panels later in x1s development
