Scroll wheel and web browsing - P3600 General

Is there anyway to set the scroll wheel so that it will smoothly scroll the screen in pocket IE, rather than tab between the hyperlinks?
It seems to do this on some web pages but not others, so I assume it is how the page is coded. But can the wheel be set to do this for all pages?
Ideally, I would like for the wheel to scroll the screen, but the joypad to tab between the links.
Is there a registry setting or something?

Hi!
I think the scrollwheel is hard-coded to act as "arrow up" / "arrow down" .. So scrolling the wheel up or down will only take you to the previous, or next link in the webpage. If the webpage contains few links then it will scroll one page down instead I think. Maybe a plugin or something could fix this, but IE doesn't have that function as of today.

Yo !! you can do it, you have to change the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=1
to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\"4-Way Nav"=0
but it affect both scroll wheel and buttons pad, you can't do it separately.

Excuse my ignorance, but how do you change the registry? I would find this useful also.

I made a cab that make this registry change, just install and SR.

nice one
works well, cheers
any one know of a way to implement the same thing for Opera? i had a look through the the registry, but was unable to find a similar string
s.

The cab file works a treat. Thank's for it! However I have noticed that after installing it when I open an email or text message it opens scrolled down a bit. Any ideas? It means I have to scroll up a bit each time to read it.

This doesn't really achieve what I want as it only removes the tabs to hyperlinks. This means you must use the stylus when browsing, so it actually reduces the functionality. If the page didn't have any hyperlinks, the scroll wheel would have done the same thing anyway, move one page at a time.
What I would like to do, as PaulusUK said at the start of this post, is to be able to smooth scroll on a page the same way a desktop mouse works.
An option to set the number of lines that scroll would be nice.
There might be something out there that does this already, any suggestions?

Which function you use the most in smartskey

Hi, would like to know what do you think about smartskey.
The softkey remap adding both Start Menu and Close functionality is really what brings real convienience to using my K-JAM.
The other features are nice, but I rarely use them.
When using OmapClock, I prefer to add my own startup and notifcation events.
Edit: the "alternate" startmenu key function is brilliant! I now use GSPocketMagic and it works great!
First of all, thank you very much for this great piece of work.
Softkey remap is used most often. Volume key remap is the next most used.
This is a wonderful bit of work. I use the dpad mapping about 98% of the time I use the phone. I also use the close with right soft key mapping fairly frequently and the volume key mapping to disable the today screen volme control (safety first!) and for scrolling within apps. Postal and Paypal gratitude forthcoming.
New function to close screen and block buttons
Hi,
I think it will be very very usefull to have a button which blocks all the buttons and toggle off the screen. It would make the program almost perfect!

there sholud be checkboxes instead of radioboxes in this poll. i'd check all options besides volume key remapping, because i prefer it to stay with its original function. if i could suggest anything new, it would be some piece of GUI placed in Settings window for configuring smartskey. editing smartskey.ini every time after installing new version is not quite convenient way, mostly when it's unicoded in some strange way and not every text editor can handle it (gedit in GNOME - for example - can't).

Today Screen and the Scroller

Hey guys,
New to the forum but I've had a search for an answer (not that much of a newbie ) so I thought I'd ask straight out!
I have the Orange version of the Hermes, and noticed that the built in Today menu Orange provides works very nicely with the Scroller (left hand side) to allow you to choose items on the menu.
My problem is that I'm using phoneAlarm and cLauncher. Neither of these react to the scroller. Anyone know of a way to convert the scroller movements into simple up and down commands, as the D-Pad/hard buttons at the bottom allow you to highlight and select items in pA&cL?
If this makes no sense I'll reword it
Thanks in Advance!
[EDIT]
Just for searching purpose, Scroll Wheel might be a better term. There's also Jog Wheel which isn't the same, but similar!
The Scroller behaves just as if you where pressing the Dpad up or down. It does not provide lateral movement (like the SonyEricsson PXXX sieries).
Thus with PhoneAlarm and cLauncher you can just scroll to it (depending on the skin, you should be able to tell when you are on the desired today row or plugin) and then must use the DPad to navigate left or right through the different icons.

I thought that was the case, but when I use phoneAlarm and the D-Pad, I get yellow squares highlighting the buttons, but if I use the Scroller it doesn't do anything. This leads me to believe it's not totally the same

DredSensor v1.0:
=======================================================================================
=======================================================================
Reviewed on gadgetmix.com: See the article
=======================================================================
If you have tried to play a game needing left and right key on an HTC Touch Diamond, you noticed that they are 2mm wide and if you click next to it, you get back to home page or to dialing menu etc...
So I've written a prog allowing you to lock these 4 keys actions and replace it by classical key event (VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, ...).
In that way you can play tetris, and use "Pick-Up" and "Hang-Up" keys for going left and right.
Link ->: DredSensor
To use it, you need:
1) An HTC Touch Diamond (it's the only one i have so i can't test it on other models)
2) Install the .cab
3) Reboot your HTC
4) Run a game (or app or ...)
5) Get your stylus out and back-in, in less than 1 second
6) Click "Yes"
----- A config window opens:
7) Check that Type = "HardKeySimul"
8) Click "Ok"
Now you can use (and eventually assign) your 'Home', 'Back', 'Pick-Up' and 'Hang-Up' keys in that game/app.
Actually, the 'Pick-Up' and 'Hang-Up' keys are always defined as Left and Right events.
Have fun.
Ps:
For people interested, the other "Type" in the config window are:
- "Launcher": allow you to quicklaunch 4 app (that you define in the config wnd) when you double tap (not click, just tap) on one of those 4 keyz
- "Scroll": allow you to scroll the current window by tapping those 4 keyz panel
- "KeySimul": allow you to send left/right/up/down events by tapping those 4 keyz panel
Thx, now I can use opera mini and pie (good for mlb's wap) in full screen
Thank you very much. Great program. Now, with left and right softkey hardware buttons, I can play with my java games.

Do any of them even work on the vga screen?
first of all: great app!
only thing i don't like is that now every time i pull out the stylus the phone vibrates. maybe you could make the "window-catching-thing" optional, so you have to enable it first?!? with that, the app would be perfect to me!
figured out an other problem: the "scroll-wheel-function" in opera and tomtom doesn't work anymore...

Hello.
As it's a background program, making vivrate the phone is the best way i found to easlily know if it's loaded or not.
If you don't like that, you can disable it by manually editing the 'Config.ini' file in '/Program Files/DredSensor':
Go under the section you want to disable vibrator in (ex: "[Default]")
Add: "NoVibrate=1"
For the scroll problem, i didn't change scrolling system from v1.0 so are you sure it was working in v1.0 and it's no more working in v1.1?

Thank´s for this wonderful tool!

is there a wa to map home/back to A/B controller buttons? Trying to get it to work with PocketNester Thanks
Thanks
I will tried
Seems to be good. Shall download and try...
Doesn't work for all hard keys
I have the original diamond and it doesn't look like any of the key presses work.
I could really do with replacing volume and Home/Back Buttons. Do these buttons
support Long press too?

If you go in PocketNester -> Option -> Controller, you can see that it's default mapped to 0xC4 and 0xC3 key codes.
So all you have to set in DredSensor is:
- Home: "Key:0xC4"
- Back: "Key:0xC3"
I tried that on super mario, it works, but the problem is that you can't press those keys and simultaneously press Left and Right so it's quite hard to play...
In fact you can map Volume Up and Down keyz to button A and B and it's much easier to play.

The actual version of DredSensor doesn't change anything to volume up/down buttons.
All it catches is Home,Back,Talk and End hard keys.
About long press,
- In "Launcher" mode, you can define action for "Long click"
- In "HardKeySimul" mode, if you make a long press to "Home", and mapped "Left" key to "Home" button, it will occure a long press on "Left" key.
I just don't seem to be able to get this to work - I follow the first post to remap the home and back keys to the softkeys, but home always takes me back to touchflo.
Are there any other things I can try, or is it just the ROM i'm using doing this?

I don't think it's a ROM problem.
The 2 most common reasons for not working are:
It doesn't work if you have G-Scroll or something similar installed.
When you edit config for an App, this config only applies when "Window Title" and "ClassName" of the foreground window matches what is defined in that Config.
If it doesn't match any config, DredSensor doesn't catch your hard keys.
You can use wildcards in your Config so, for example, if the app you want to configure always changes its title, you can set "*" for window title.
everything gose well in my diamond! Thx!
just a little suggestion : as volume up/down could be very useful in some app (like a game emulator), could you make them configurable in your next version?
nice job!

I make a softreset and works whit no problem, when i click home button open the program i assign.
Doesn't seem to work in Phone screen. I am not sure if it is because it is a dialog class. If this could be made to work, it would be great as when a person has multiple phone numbers you could scroll by pressing right or left key.
Thanks in advance
just tested it with tetris and it worked great. good stuff

I've nothing like that installed - I've tried wildcards, and soft resetting between altering them, even setting the default so that it should catch any class or window so that the home and back keys are soft keys one and two.
It's semi trapping the window and keys.......I just wonder if your app is not being fed the correct window name/class, or there's some extra characters or something that is fooling it.
Here's an example - setting home and back keys to the softkeys, with a config of * for window, and * for class.
On the touchflo screen, pressing home will take it to the phone screen (correct left softkey action), but once in the phone screen, pressing home takes it to the touchflo screen when it should go to contacts.
If I'm in any other application, it never traps the home key, and will always go back to touchflo. Disabling touchflo doesn't change this, it takes it back to the today screen.
I'm using shak's rom if anyone else can confirm they can get it to work using that one

How to disable the scroll wheel

Hi everyone,
The scroll wheel is annoying me especially when dialing (It accidentally scroll down dialing to the wrong person) I am OK with zooming but not scrolling. I prefer to use the up,down,left & right buttons
Anyone know a tweak to disable the scroll wheel control?
Thanks
The registry settings for control the wheel are in HKLM/Software/HTC/smartTouch.
Maybe from there you can control the behaviour. I haven't try it though.
Didn't work
I tried changing the wheelcount value to 0 and then soft reset but nothing changed. It is still scrolling
engalnoor: Scroll wheel function is mantained via driver from HTC. You can remove it (via cooking; I am not sure if it can be removed from already built rom), but you will loose all functions connected to scroll wheel. This includes not only scrolling in lists, but also zooming in supported apps.
Still don't want it
I prefer to lose all scroll wheel functions & features over being annoyed with it's misinterpetations
Is there anyway to disable it from the regisry or so?
I am really suffering
If it doesn't buther you to loose the wheel functions, you can do this:
Create a new text document and rename it to SmartTouch.dll
Copy the file somewhere in the device and using resco explorer copy or move it to windows directory and overwrite the original one.
Soft reset device
Many Thanks
dancer_69
Many thanks, that was really a cure for my pain
I'm glad that I helped.
I see I'm a late commer but here are my two cents:
I believe the wheelcount value is the wheel sensitivity setting - meaning how many wheel steps/degrees/whatever are needed to move the cursor. So, changing it to higher number may solve the unwanted move issue while still maintaining the functionality of this element (which I personally love ).

In "Diamond tweak" application under 19.7 there is an option to enlable or disable scroll wheel in phone applications. That might do the job for you. Have not checked myself......

[APP][SVC][Mar 21, 2010] ZoomBarPlus V2 BETA / Make your Zoom Bar more useful!

Overview
The Zoom Bar is the little strip at the bottom of your Touch Pro 2's screen that is used in a handful of applications on your device. Wouldn't it be nice if you could use it in every application? Customized to fit your needs? That's where ZoomBarPlus comes in! You can map keystrokes for tapping, double tapping, long tapping, and swiping left/right. Default zoom functionality is also retained for all applications that are already Zoom Bar aware.
This app was developed because I wanted to have a virtual D-Pad of sorts. The default actions are swipe-right sends the down arrow, swipe-left the up arrow, double tap the action (center) button, long tap is backspace (which is "back" in Total Commander CE, which I use a lot). You can set it up any way you want!
ZoomBarPlus is a TRUE Windows Mobile service, so it does NOT use one of the precious few 32 slots available for processes. You can find more information about services here.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS APP IS DESIGNED TO WORK ONLY ON THE TOUCH PRO 2 (AKA RHODIUM / TILT 2) AND DIAMOND 2 (AKA TOPAZ / PURE) AND RELATED DEVICES. It has also been successfully tested on the HTC Imagio (aka Whitestone) and HTC Mega (aka Touch 2). If I'm missing any zoombar phones here that it works on or needs to be tested on, please let me know.

Current features
- This is a BETA release, so it should be treated as possibly being unstable!
- Assign keycodes to tap, double tap, long tap, swipe left, and swipe right gestures on the zoom bar.
- Swipe gestures can repeat keystrokes when held, which is good for simulating holding down a D-Pad button, for example.
- Use a registry editor to change configuration settings (a config app will come soon).
- Disables itself if the user is using an application that handles the ZoomBar natively.
- Option to disable itself if the user is on a MessageBox (dialog), so as to not accidentally confirm an "are you sure" notification.
- VERY low resources used -- runs as a TRUE service and uses as close as 0% CPU as is possible by an app like this.
Future features
- Configuration app (.Net CF 3.5 required).
- New gestures: tap and swipe (with hold). Default will be D-Pad Left and D-Pad Right.
- AppToDate support
- New registry location for settings (for safety): HKCU\Software\Avian Waves\ZoomBarPlus
- Per-Window Class settings: ignore (default ZoomBar), or custom gesture settings
- Screen orientation aware (optional landscape flip swipe gestures)
Latest ChangeLog
- Fixed bug: if the active window changed while you were in the middle of a single tap delay, long tap delay, or swipe-repeat, it would continue repeating, even if the new foreground window class was one of the classes that handles the ZoomBar natively, leading to unexpected results.
- You can now specify whether you want ZBP to deactivate when the MessageBox class is in the foreground. This is useful for disabling ZBP when a confirmation message appears. In particular, with Total Commander CE, it was very easy to try to "tap" to activate a file and accidentally click the DELETE button simultaneously, leading to a Delete->Confirm Yes situation. Needless to say, it led to bad results when a lot of stuff you didn't want to delete was, in fact, deleted. :-( Now, it can't happen because ZBP will (by default) deactivate when the confirmation box appears.

See it in action! Thanks to PocketNow for the great review!

Registry
All apps listsed in HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch are ignored so that ZBP doesn't interfere with built-in zoom functionality of those apps.
Settings for ZBP are in HKLM\Services\ZoomBarPlus. Setting any keycode to zero disables the feature.
The service needs to be restarted (use DotFred's task manager) or the device soft reset for changes to take effect. This will get easier after this app is out of beta.
Tap = Keycode sent to focused window when the zoom bar is tapped once.
DoubleTap = Keycode sent to focused window when the zoom bar is tapped twice in succession.
LongTap = Keycode sent to focused window when the zoom bar is pressed and held.
SwipeRight = Keycode sent to focused windows when the zoom bar is swiped to the right (repeated for each 'segment' you pass).
SwipeLeft = Keycode sent to focused windows when the zoom bar is swiped to the left (repeated for each 'segment' you pass).
DoubleTapInterval = Time in ms that ZBP will wait for the second tap in a double tap.
LongTapInterval = Time in ms that ZBP will wait before executing the long tap action.
SwipeDoRepeat = Should the swipe gesture automatically repeat if you hold your finger down?
SwipeRepeatAfter = Number of ticks of a swipe before doing the swipe repeat.
SwipeRepeatIntervalFirst = First delay (in ms) before doing a swipe repeat.
SwipeRepeatIntervalRate = Interval (in ms) between each swipe repeat action.
VibrateInterval = Length of time to vibrate for haptic feedback.
VibrateSwipe = Provide vibration (haptic feedback) on a swipe action?
VibrateTap = Provide vibration (haptic feedback) on a tap action?
DisableOnMessageBox = Do not process ZBP command when the current in-focus window is a Message Box (dialog)?
The default settings are:
Tap = Do nothing! (0x00)
DoubleTap = Center "action" button - VK_TACTION (0x0D)
LongTap = Backspace - VK_BACK (0x08)
SwipeRight = Down Arrow - VK_TDOWN (0x28)
SwipeLeft = Up Arrow - VK_TUP (0x26)
DoubleTapInterval = 350
LongTapInterval = 650
SwipeDoRepeat = 1 (Yes)
SwipeRepeatAfter = 5
SwipeRepeatIntervalFirst = 350
SwipeRepeatIntervalRate = 100
VibrateInterval = 25
VibrateSwipe = 0 (No)
VibrateTap = 1 (Yes)
DisableOnMessageBox = 1 (Yes)
Notes
I would recommend NOT setting a keycode for single tap. The reason being that the zoombar seems to have its sensitivity bleed into the bottom part of the screen. So what tends to happen is you will tap a button that's on the bottom of the screen (such as a menu) and the zoombar single-tap action will activate as well. I cannot adjust the zoombar sensitivity, so I cannot work around the sensitivity in code. I found that double-tapping on the zoombar becomes intuitive if you are trying to achieve a D-Pad of sorts, which is why I developed this app.

FAQ
Q: ZoomBarPlus isn't working in <some application>. Is this a bug? How do I fix this?
A: ZoomBarPlus is designed to not be active whenever HTC's SmartTouch service sends zoom bar messages to applications that are "zoom bar aware." You may not realize how many applications are actually zoom bar aware. Som ROM cooks like to put in lots of extras (the default behavior is a simple scroll-down / scroll-up behavior, but no action button or anything more advanced). Even without a custom ROM, applications like RSS Hub and the Inbox are zoom bar aware. This can be annoying when the default zoom bar behavior isn't what you want. For example, in the Outlook Inbox, you might want ZoomBarPlus to scroll up and down through the list. It won't because the HTC default behavior is to resize text in the message view and do nothing at all in the list view!
To fix this, go into the Smart Touch registry key HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch and either delete the relevant key of the application you no longer want the default zoom behavior for --OR-- change the value of ClassName in the key to something that will never exist as a window class (maybe add a dozen x's to the end of it). Soft reset after this. The config application (coming soon!) will allow you to enable or disable classes in SmartTouch more easily.
Nice App.
But How can I send only one "down arrow" when I swipe right?It always scroll too much.
This could be very useful. Thanks.
what if i wanna set "swap left" to arrow left and "swap right" to arrow right?

Interesting idea. I was sending a keystroke on every time the zoombar "ticked" (moved far enough to generate an event). I can have it just send one per down and release. Next release.

Yeah, that worked for me great. I just switched the values (38 and 40, respectively) for the two entries thx1200 mentioned, and then soft-reset.
The app seems to work pretty darn good overall...it's more like using the zoom bar as a scroll wheel, in terms of response/speed, than a D-pad, but it's still a very workable solution. The only place I haven't been able to get it to cooperate is in the outlook inbox screen (WM, not TF3D), but it's worked everywhere else I've tried it so far, including inside of apps like PHM_regedit.
Thanks thx1200!!

That's because the Inbox has been modified by HTC to be "zoombar aware." You can prevent the driver from sending zoombar codes to the Inbox by deleting it's window class registry entry in HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartTouch. ZBP purposely does not respond to window classes in that key so as not to have two responses (the app's and ZBP's) firing at the same time.
In fact, if you want to override ALL zoombar behavior, delete all the window classes in that registry key. Keep in mind you will also lose the ability to zoom in the picture viewer if you get that aggressive.
Yes, it does perform less like a D-Pad and more like scroll-wheel. Either way, it gives you a lot more one-handedness than a device lacking a D-Pad (or wheel). I particularly enjoy the swipe-and-hold gesture where it just keeps scrolling. That's particularly d-pad-like. Scroll wheels can't do that.
EDIT: After modifying SmartTouch, a soft reset is required.

Ahh gotcha...I knew this app ignored any zoombar-enabled stuff, I just didn't realize the inbox fell into that catgory. I'll try tinkering with it in the reg like you suggested.
And yes, the swipe-n-hold feature is pretty sweet...and more like a D-pad than a scroll wheel. I'm still practicing/testing with it (there's a little learning curve to get used to the best thumb-motions), but I love it so far...thanks again!
Hi thx1200,
you are really crazy. You have also another hobby ? Great work. This app have also a very good potential.

I have too many hobbies. Many are being neglected! Plus regular 10 hour days at work. Sigh. I wish I was independently wealthy so I could just write freeware and write free music and spend some time on my other hobbies.
I had ZoomAdds installed, removed it, installed this... but I'm just getting the same scrolling I did before, no repeat, no taps, no vibration... Any ideas what else might be interfering?
Aha, found it, TouchLockPro.. Once I disabled it, scrolling.. changed I'll be wtaching this one, I still can't quite "do" a dpad, but been wanting it since I changed from my original Tilt.

I believe you can just switch the two keycodes for those from his list above. I'm about to test in just a minute to verify.

you're a genius!
Thanks thx1200.
By the way,when you have changed zoombarplus registry items,you can make it effect by restarting the service using some task manage programs
awesome
I wish HTC would have thought out the zoom bar moor considering it only had one function that didnt work in every isntance.
Great!
Just now installed it on my diamond 2, didn't have any problems yet. Great keep it up!
Little more info
New here...so bear with me.
I have a ATT tilt2 that I just flashed to the new energy ROM from Mar 9th, standard WM 6.5 with sense 2.5.
I love the ROM, but never realized that the opera browser, 9.5 I think, that came with the stock tilt2 was the only opera browser that worked with the factory zoombar. The browser in this new ROM, 10.1 I believe, oesn't work with it...and I love my zoombar!!
Would this program help?
