Mouse emulator

Is there a tweak or program that will turn the four-way navigation button into a mouse, which lets you move the cursor anywhere on the screen? Such a registry tweak or program would let you position the cursor over any dialog box or link and then press the center button or enter to enable that program or link.
There is a program for the Treo 650 that does just this, EzRocker, and I was wondering if it's also possible on the HTC Wizard.
I found a registry tweak (below) that enables this for Internet Explorer, but I would like to be able to do it with all programs.
Enable the 4 way navigation button to allow scrolling in IE instead of having to drag the scrollbar with the stylus with a simple regedit.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav
Change Value from 1 to 0.

Tulsa,
Welcome to the forum :wink:
Have a read of this:

There were recently 2 posts regarding a mouse emulator. I've posted in at least one of them. Please post back if you have success or failure in finding them...

Found a program that does just that: http://www.bobsoft.com/sphelper/
I've only been able to play around with SPhelper for a few minutes, but it seems to work fine on a Cingular 8125. When SPhelper is running, Smartskey is temporarily disabled (if you are using Smartskey), but that's okay.
Finding SPhelper, a virtual mouse, was a matter of searching with the right keywords. I'd been using "mouse emulator", "mouse input", "mouse control" and "navigation pad mouse" but what did the trick is "virtual mouse." I'm including all these words in my reply in case anyone else searches for this kind of program and uses the same search terms as I did.

Button 4 mapping problem (press & hold)

Hi!
I have a problem with mapping hard button #4 on my universal.
In Settings -> Buttons, I have Button 4 Press mapped to Voice Speed Dial,
and Button 4 Press & Hold mapped to Voice Recorder. But when I press
this button, always Voice Recorder will start - even if I tab this button for a short time,
or when I hold this button for 5-10 seconds... Always Voice Recorder
will run...
I have tried to change this mapping to other commands, but always taping this
button will start the command from Button 4 Press & Hold assigment...

Indeed you are right. This problem persisted even in the Helmi WM5 aku3.5 ROMs.

same problem here

The only solution I applied was using another application to assign the button presses to launch different applications. I use AE Button Plus: http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=21070
But first I renamed "Button 4" to be "Press and Hold", and renamed "Press and Hold" to be "Button 4", since this is the button that is able to launch applications. I then use AE Button Plus to map the button assignments. There is also a freeware button mapper called PQZ: http://www.nicque.com/PQz/ Some say, PQZ is better, but I have not tried it myself, so I can't comment.

I have founded that problem is with MS Voice Command.
Before installing MS Voice Command, I was able to asign commands
to "press" and "press & hold" mapping. After installing MS Voice Command,
only to "press & hold" (works like simple "press")... Unfortunately,
uninstalling MS Voice Command didn't solve problem... But registry restore
from backup fixed that issue !!
So this problem seats in registry after installing MS Vocie Command...
Have anyone some idea what key couses that problem?
Maybe I will try to find solution, but I need an apliaction that can
check all modification in registry after installing some software...
Does anyone knows such software?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
SKTracker does exactly that quite convenient (14 days trial).

Basically you could as well diff two registry exports, with VoiceCommand and after your restore.
(For this you may want to look at s-k-tools freeware as well...)

You can use SSNAP utility (from SK too) instead of sktracker. It does snapshots the register and keeps them in a plain txt-file. Then it is possible to compare two snapshots by using IDIFF utility (from SK too) on your PPC or by using fc.exe on your windows desktop computer.
You can find the above described utilities here http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html

Volume slider to Up/Down keys

Volume To Arrows is a Pocket pc software which will map your volume jog to up/down arrows and also convert the Camera key to Action key.
This software is useful for scrolling by 1 row applications and enter menu with Camera button which is over volume jog on my Qtek S200

* Simply unzip VolumeToArrows than copy VolumeToArrows.exe to your pda and start VolumeToArrows.exe
* To start at pda boot you need to make shortcut into \Windows\Startup

If you need to uninstall this application simply use a TaskManager (which show you executables loaded in memory, FdcSoft provide TaskManager v2.3) to kill VolumeToArrows.exe than delete the VolumeToArrows.exe executable

Namco original Pac Man Game cab

I used to have an old Compaq Aero 1500 that came with a Game Pack CD. This old Namco Pac Man game cab file was on it. It works on the Wizard (and likely other devices).
Button mapping is a little off, but most importantly, the DPad for directional control works properly. (can also use touch screen to direct Pac Man).
[default button settings]
The center DPad Select is the 'Action' button which Pauses the Game.
The "Mail/Messaging" button (top left - Button 1) Exits a Game during the play (<Start Menu>)
The "Explorer" button (top right - Button 2) is for Load/Save Game (shown as Record)
The "Camera" button (button 3) is to add Credits (shown as Menu - Insert Coin)
Button 4 (Hold) is the 2 Player Start (shown as Contacts)
1 Player Start does not appear to be mapped in default button config.
As I mentioned, this was a free Game Pack CD that came with the purchase of the old Compaq Aero 1500/2100 Pocket PC's... so I don't think there is any issue with posting the cab here as a "free-for-all".

Coul i use win key with long press??

hello everyone!!
I'd like to use the windows soft key (menu) for launch any app i want...For example i'd like if i Long press the win key run task manager...
Is it possible????
thank you all!!!
see you!

not from a "standard" point of view (longsend and londend have their own shortcuts, start doesn't), not even when I tried aebutton plus, so I would say forget about hard key and install LMT instead

Ameba 0.8 + Scarecrow Ameba Settings 0.3 can do that. Its a good choice anyway (close, minimize programms by tap/hold x; start programs by holding winButton and much more)
Greets

thank you mates!!!!
