Help with Buttons above screen - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Playing a few emus and realised playing in landscape it would be cool to use these buttons (sms and web'n'walk) above the screen , but after pressing for around 2 seconds they stop becoming responsive , is there a fix or way to stop it???
Sorry if this is really old news but i got my vario 2 today

Sorry for the bump
Surely someone knows how to stop this (eg , On Mario Kart if you hold the buttons above the screen (set for Accelerate and brake) you go but then stop after 1 or 2 seconds)
Is there a cab fix or something for this?
Please let me know if you dont understand what im trying to say
Regards

I'm not sure about those buttons, but why not use the keyboard?
That's what I use with my emulators and it works great. It's nice to be able to bind all the SNES buttons too. ^^

I wanted to use the pad plus those 2 buttons with keyboard closed.
Guess i'll have to use the keyboard
Thanks for the reply btw

Screen orientation hardset for a particular app, is it poss?

Hi im playing with TomTom6 and unlike 5.21 it switches screen orientation when you flip out the keyboard, which is all well and good but when i mount the phone in the car i cant flip out the keyboard and 5 allowed me to switch the screen inside the app . Is there anyway i can hardset the screen setup for particular apps say from the shortcut or possibly a hidden switch in TT6 ?
Thanks
Matt
Does TomTom still support custom commands?
If so, couldn't you screen rotate from there?

all you need to do is set up a hard key for screen rotation (settings/buttons), I use the button 4 hold and it works just fine in tomtom 6.
Thanks both of you both very usefull, oh and ageezee im not sure why i didnt think of trying that so to quote a few simpsons lines DOH dam my feeble brain. Im going to have a play around with both methods as the in car holder im looing at seems to cover the hard buttons so it would be nice to have a backup .
thanks again

Can align screen shortcut be disabled?

I'm curious if its possible to disable the align screen shortcut on the Wizard (Enter Button in center plus Messages Button) Its really annoying when playing Doom or an emulator in landscape and having that popup all the time. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Unfortunately i dont have an answer for you. but i do have aquestion that i hope youcan answer. I got myself a doom launcher. It works well, but the control setup is terrible on the wizard. If i play in portrait mode, the fire button is the left soft key. So i ahve to fire with the same finger that i use to move. That makes the game unplayable. What launcher are you using and where did you get it?
I haven't done any testing or trying yet, but here is my idea...
what if you rename the align screen app, just so it stops it from launching?

Its called GF Doom (I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got it or whom made it. Although if the creator see's this I would love for him/her to PM me as I also have some questions.) Anyway the launcher shouldn't control the Key Mapping, usually thats done in some sort of config file. With the program that I have the keys are mapped in the skin file's txt document.
Try this, unzip all contents into your storage card and run the launcher you should get Doom, Doom II, and Plutonia (sometimes called Ultimate Doom) as well as a 3rd party mod called Evilution. Keep the default skin, with that the keys I have mapped are:
The directional Buttons for Movement, Messages button for Fire and strafe(I would like to change strafe to volume up/down or Internet but have not been able to if you can figure this out let me know), and the softkeys for Select and Start.
The screen defaults to protrait with your choosen skin. To play in full landscape start the game in the options change the resolution to "low" and it will switch, Hope this helps
I can't seem to get the attachment to work here is the link ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/
the file is pocket doom.zip
A Flock of Seagulls are in my Wizard
It would be awesome to find a way to disable this. Is there maybe an entry in the registry that corresponds to what key combination turns on the align screen program. Maybe it could be changed to some combination of keys that is very unlikely to be executed simultaneously.
Until then, I'll continue to drink foo-foo drinks to calm myself while trying to play any action games.
GF Doom
Dragonedge:
What version of GF Doom do you have? Maybe I have an old version. When I enter full screen mode, the soft keys are shoot and strafe, while the message/IE buttons are menu and escape. I have to use the same hand to shoot as I do to move.
Thanks for the tip about full screen, I would never have figured that out. Now I'm not dissapointed with the program anymore.
Lol, funny posts. Is this still a problem? Does it need investigating?

I still have the problem........ working on some things now.

Not sure what version it is. Check out the ftp I uploaded a zip file with everything I use. Also you can edit the skin files to remap the softkeys as well as the messaging and internet keys. All the information about remapping the buttons is in the skins folder in a txt file names Skin Specs.

The only problem I had was being able to map the message and internet buttons as different keys. Also I would like to use the volume slider as a left and righ strafe but could not seem to get that mapped either. Any help there would be great.
I've made an app to disable this - VJCalibrula for Universal and Hermes.
Wizard requires a slightly different hack, and I don't have one to test on.
dragonedge: what hardware/ROM are you using? I'll try to get you to alpha test if you want.

I wouldn't mind at all . I have the T-mobile MDA/Wizard with the 2.26 ROM
An app to disable this would be handy another idea that would be nice is an app that would let you specify another button combination for system shortcuts would be awesome.
VJCalibrula - disable align screen settings (alpha)
Guys, please give this a go.
I don't think it supports AKU 3.2 for now. Soon...

Vibrate Soft Keyboard Feature?

hey guys i was trying out the android sdk for the vogue and it is awesome..especially the keyboard and how it vibrates every time you press a key. i was wondering if there is a program or registry edit that can make windows keyboard do that? i currently use pcm keyboard and that would be an awesome addition to wm6.1. idk if it is possible but i would love that add-on
EDIT: i heard pcm has done that for v0.16 but it is still very unstable and the skins suck right now..unless someone can make that setting for v0.14 or a program/edit can do that i guess we might just have to wait till v0.17
try voa vibrate.exe

If this working I will be very happy. Thank you!
vibrate soft keyboard - status ?
So did it work ?????????? or did u find something else ?
I'm using one that will vibrate with every screen touch. im loving it. you can control the intensity of the vibration also.
worth giving a try!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450256
Well, the one problem with the Vibrate option is that it may cause the White Dot Issue, which somehow gets onto the screen and stays there due to the Vibrate Mechanism..I'm not sure why, but it has happened to beware.

How to disable screen calibration

Hi all!
Is there any way to disable the screen calibration function?
It automatically comes out when I press both volume up & down keys plus touching the screen.
Can you help me please?
Thanx
That's amazing! I never knew that, thanks!
Why would you want to disable this feature?
LOL
Cause when I play with morphgear (a SNES emulator) I' ve mapped vol up & down as buttons plus a dpad skin designed for it (Dredd). With this solution you don't need multitouch!!!
Before using this trick it was impossible to play with the largest part of the games cause you know, our touch screen is not multitouch and we don't have buttons and a real dpad.
I decided to try this workaround and it is really amazing! Now I'm able to play a lot of games but sometimes the calibration setup screen comes out if you don't pay attention... At the moment I'm looking for the *.exe of the application and I will try to rename o erase it as a possible solution!
Check it out!
Ahh, right. I gecha!
Sounds cool. Have you considered the virtual d-pad?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=466002&highlight=Virtual+dpad
It uses the Gsensor in your HD so that you can navigate by tilting the device. Not had a use for it myself but it sounds really neat.
Yea thanx, it is a good application, but it is not ok for the gameplay!
Any suggestion?
Thanx!
