Using the volume slider to scroll?

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... :?:

It was without counting on the ingeniousness of a Russian developer Mamaich which developed small a software to associate this button any software and in particular 2 small softwares making it possible to emulate a serrated roller of run!

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!

what is the link to show desktop

i was trying to assign a button to show the desktop
can any one help me with the path to the show desktop
thanks in advance

Start>Today
There isn't a simple way of removing it...

thanks imasri, but i was not trying to remove it but i was looking for the path ie location of the execution file that on clicking will show the desktop.... can you tell me where this file is located in the phone...

If you push the windows button twice, the desktop will be shown...

If any one comes up with something please let me know

Not sure if THIS POST will help, but it gives the command lines for pretty much every Control Panel entry (i.e. everything under Start | Settings)....
There is a link to the today screen which you should be able to use in a shortcut on one of your menus....
HTH,
Mark.

mmm..
Read the wiki maybe you find answers:

Unfortuantely, the "Today" item there is for opening up the Today Screen Settings. I was trying to find such a "shortcut" myself a while back, and never did come up with anything. At this point, I think it can only be done programmatically, by "minimizing all running apps". I haven't looked, but there's probably a pretty simple Windows API call for that.
Similar to what a couple of other suggestions here have been, there is probably some alternative that you can use to get to the Today Screen easily. I use Wisbar Lite, and as such, I lose the Double Click the Windows Button, and simple Menu->Today features. But I found I can configure Wisbar Lite to give me pretty easy access. I also believe it was SPB Pocket Plus that gave me link that I use to program my PPT button to go to the Today Screen on a quick press. Don't know where exactly, that link really is, so I can't investigate how it's actuially done.
Maybe some of the above will help you?

Guys thanks for all the suggestions and links...
i have done something else and its so good now...
@Mark Crouch thanks for the link, i am sure those short cuts are pretty handy..
@jlopez0978 reading wiki did not help .. i usually go there first before i post
SO this is what i did...
there is a program from " CHRIS" of the lakebridgesoftware forum
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/showthread.php?t=11394&page=3
see the post no. 29......
this program will toogle to the desktop... and its graphics are good like htc touch......
i made a link to this program to one of the hardware button( PTT) and now i can toggle to desktop with one key press
Gopu

Good find!!!
I've installed it on my Hermes now too - you're right, it works great!!!
Cheers,
Mark.

Yes, it is called the sytem tray.
Have a search for Traylaunch or BatteryStatus, both of these allow you to place links to programs in the tray. The tray is right alligned and only displays small icons.
Claunch is more tweakable but you may struggle to place it at the bottom of the screen without using other fixed height today plugins.

Make Your own Panel (I think)

Hi All,
Don't know if somebody already posted this, but I couldn't find a thread about it.
I just saw a link in a Dutch forum regarding a website where you can create your own panel.
Here's the link: http://www.mysonyericssonblog.com/x1panelcreator/index.php?step=1&lang=en
It's just that my Italian is not that good, so I cannot find the guide. Maybe somebody here can find it and explain how it exactly works. But it sure looks promising.
Herman

Here is the English tutorial
BTW. It's an HTML panel designer

WOW Nice find,
without reading it all yet, will do later, it looks like it will be incredibly simple to do something such as a program launcher.

cool, i'm thinking of making a Hyves panel (dutch facebook like social website)..
Groet, Steven

this sounds great but i dont know how to program in html
anyone one able to give me a basic guide

Wow! This is a great find!
Now I just need to come up with some good panel ideas...

Nice!
What you guys want?

Get hold of a WYSIWYG website editor and use one of those..
I think dreamweaver is still available as a trial, try that to build what you want to see, then save the page as html.
otherwise there's huge amounts of websites that give tutorials on html, it's not difficult at all.

SE Panel SDK supports native panel (i.e. panel developed using windows programming technique) and html-based panel. the latter will be more designer-friendly, but probably won't be sophiscated as the native since API will be limited. That said, with all the panel request on running certain app as the background, I got to say html-based panel might just well do the job.

This is a really awesome find. Makes things simpler/quicker...

what about some sort of task manager panel, maybe if possible with more info than the standard task manager. it could include info for battery, ram, cpu use, heat etc. a sort of all in one info panel/task manager

Sounds like a good idea.
At the minute im just making a simple development panel.
Just so people can see how it works when they look at the HTML of the panel etc.
Ive managed to open .exe's etc, just wondering how to open sections of the .exe.
For example: clock.exe opens up the alarm bit where you can set alarms. However im wondering if the tabs on that part are also part of clock.exe
Does anyone know how I can access \\Windows of my X1 on my PC? I can only seem to access it using Total Commander on my X1 and to be honest. Its hard to scroll through thousands of files on such a small screen lol

how about a games panel?

Thats dependant on the games you have installed. I could do it with the games already on the phone but other than that, each person would have to customise it for their own phone

could the panel have settings in the panel manager, where the user could add and delete games?

As long as you've got activesync or the vista version installed you should be able to go through my computer.. But I'm on my linux machine at the mo so can't say what exactly the path is.
I don't think you can overwrite files in x1 windows btw direct from the pc.

Multitouch Add

Can I somehow add application to some list of multitouch enable apps ? I for example saw iGO8 and zoom by multitouch on some video but on my HD2 its not possible ? any idea ?

Hi,
Yes it is
add
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\Software\HTC\TouchGL\VirtualDe sktop\WhiteList\IGO8]
"ProcName"="iGO8.exe"
Is there someone who can build a program with which you can add programs to the Registry.
It specifies the name of the exe and the program automatically creates the key in the registry
Sorry for my English ^ ^ I'm German

Wasn't there a very similar app written to add programs to a whitelist for the G-Sensor on the Diamond, Touch Pro, etc? Perhaps the creator of that app can alter it slightly?
I would search and PM him/her, but I've wasted enough of my working day already...

Hi Jetiman
Yes this is what mobilitygeek from PocketPC.ch found out (ok, with your help *ggg*)

Hi Jetiman, my forum mod Cendaryn pointed me to go here.
Yes you're right - this is working. The above key adds zoom functionality to the iGO8 app (the one with the mini-overview at the botton).
If there is a developer interested in making a useful app for that - feel free to contect me here by PM
(so I have to be active here too )

Can't promise how quick but I'll knock something together to do this......
Watch this space, my HD2 arrives tomorrow !

Try Makeveral, he created G-config but don´t know if he is going to get an HD2. Now he is developing BsB WM6.5.1 ROM for Diamond.

Quick update - almost done - just needs a bit of tidying up will hopefully post cab tonight

hAndyZoom - Enable Pinch & Zoom
Here it is - hAndyZoom
Pretty simple - install the cab and run the program.
Select the program you would like to add to the 'Whitelist' for pinch and zoom then click enable and you should be good to go.
Hopefully, it works based on the earlier posts but can't test it as my HD2 doesn't come untill tomorrow.
Any issues let me know.

looks like a handy program!
unfortunately it doesn't work for me on my HD2. install is fine, but when i run it it gives an error: 'an error occurred on sub _main_findallfiles'
then i can choose to continue or not, and then i get an empty list, so i can't choose any program. I'm willing to test any other versions for you if you like. Should be an interesting program... thnx already

Confirmed not working! Please wait with the development until you got your HD2

Sorry everyone - tried it on my TouchPro 2 and the list of files appear and it writes the registry values - HD2 coming today - I'll have a play and update as soon as I can.
