screen layout

how can I quickly change from portrait to landscape and viceversa without going through the menu? Is there a way to make some sort of shortcut to the command?

Portrait/landscape shortcut?
Yep, I'm experiencing the same issue. It is strane because the S100 have this shortcut on the screen, why it is not on the S200?
Someone can help?

Of course you can. Just go to the hardware buttons settings, pick your favorite button and assign the rotate screen command to it

But what about the icon like the one from S100?? Can anyone post here the registry hack for that??

I don't believe there is a reg edit for this. The on screen icon with the S100 was a native feature for WM2003 that no longer exists with WM5.
Assign a hardware button to this task.

Remap I.E and outlook buttons

I've searched and searched can anyone tell me anyway to disable or remap the I.E and Outlook buttons on the keyboard?

I beleive you cant. I was told this becasue the key codes are ROMed or hard coded. I too wanted to remap them.

I only know of a way to remap the IE button - not the outlook one. It is a workaround really; set the piehomepage in the registry as the app you want it to start eg. \Program Files\......
Now when you press the IE button, IE is still opened however and left running in the background, but the app you set is also opened.

Enabling Long Press in Dialer

Is there a way I can enable "Long-Press" of the action button to bring up the context menu for a highlighted contact in the dialer (smart dial enabled).
By default I can use the stylus to long press a contact in the dialer to bring up the context menu but I want to use the action button for true one handed operation. In the present state pressing the action button after highlighting a contact starts dialing the number.
Maybe something to be incorporated in the registry?? I am on the factory WM5 ROM for my Imate Jasjam
Thanks

I think you could use VJKeyPress to emulate a context menu click, but you would have to assign it to another hardware key, and that would barely be worth the effort and would not be very neat or integrated. I don't think you can easily change the default behaviour of the HTC dialler plugin - I think you'd have to hack into the app itself, which would not be pretty.
But I may be wrong.

Thanks Vijay555. I too thought it wouldn.'t be easy.
Any idea if the dialer application on WM6 has a similar behaviour.

Use scroll wheel with SecondToday

Hi,
Has anyone found a way to use the scroll wheel with SecondToday? I'd like to use it to scroll through my PocketBreeze screen.
I've tried adding SecondToday to the Smarttouch programs list with the Advanced Config app but that didn't work.
Any ideas?
PS. I can scroll up and down using the D-PAD buttons, so SecondToday apparently handles button messages correctly; just not coming from the touch scroll wheel.

import this with registry editor

Working!! Thanks!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use SmartsKey , once it is running you can hold "Left Softkey" for 2-3secs and the Start Menu opens
