Just think about it:
if we could combine the home-screen of PointUI with the contact list and sms-functions of PocketCM and the full screen caller ID of S2U2.
That would be the perfect WM5/6 phone: user friendly and with all the options, IMHO better than the cube.
Any genius that knows how to? I'm only good with thinking it up
I already do this.
The Pointui forum explains how to change the lock application, so it can be pointed to S2U2. I don't use it's Caller ID function, but can't see there'd be a problem, I might have a play later, but the wife has nicked my phone.
It also explains how you can alter the default media player link, just change this to point to PocketCM, OK currently you can't change the icon, so PocketCM will still be presented as the musical note icon, but you know what it does.
It all works pretty well.
Ok I couldn't find it yet, I'll look for it.
Hopefully in the future it will be integraded, but for now I love PointUI.
I found some minor issues, but this is only version 1.01, I'm looking forward to the next version..
By the way, I really don't like S2U2, I just like the full screen caller ID
to merge S2U2 with pointUI you gotta do this:
Code:
with a registry editor procede with the following:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Pointui > Pointui.home > 1.01b
there create a String Value with the following information
Code:
Name
App.Path.LockScreen
Value
\Program Files\S2U2\S2U2.exe
of course assuming that S2U2 is installed on phone memory. if not get the path of S2U2.exe from File Explorer.
Now you can press the lock button from pointUI home and lock ur device with S2U2 and having its full screen dialer.

Because they (PointUI devs) haven't made that icon configurable. But otherwise, I do this. I have my lock point to S2U2, use callerID of S2U2 with no issues. I have my music icon point to FFF for contacts. (I had it set to my PocketPlayer for music at first, but I use FFF more often, so I switched it.)
Also, since S2U2 has the "lock on wake up" option, and the "lock on timeout" options, it still autostarts. I still leave iLock2.exe in my start up folder with home.exe. I let S2U2 engage even when Home is running (at first I tried to exclude it, but it makes more sense not to exclude it). So, all 3 progs work nicely together! And on my Kaiser, memory is not an issue!
They are 3 different developers...
These will always be 3 different applications, so we just need to wait for more customization of PointUI for better integration. I have all 3 running great right now. A couple ways (other than mapping the music icon or going into applications) I have found you can access pocket CM currently:
1. A. Down arrow at bottom of home screen. B. Favorites. C. PocketCM. Yes it is three keys, but it isn't bad.
2. I don't use Tasks, so I created a registry string to map tasks to PocketCM. Now all I do is scroll to "Tasks" on the screen and press it and it opens PocketCM. The string name is App.Path.Tasks and the data is \Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe (assuming you have it installed to the device).
In the meantime, I created a PocketCM theme:

Hi !
Here's an utility to scroll the current window. And i do mean SCROLL, not jump page by page.
Since i got my first PPC, i didn't like the way you're supposed to read stuff, i wanted to scroll down, but pressing the down key jumped one page down. I wanted a smooth scroll, so i made one myself.
How it works:
1. Run the app
2. Minimize it (either with your favourite task manager or tap Start/Today) - DON'T CLOSE IT
3. From now on, the UP/DOWN keys scroll the content of the current window - smooth scroll
Volume Up / Volume Down also scroll (a bit faster) - this won't work on some devices that have custom use for the volume keys.
4. You can disable/enable when needed by mapping a button to RKeyScroll Switch (each tap switches between scroll mode / normal mode.
5. When you're finished with it, run it again, or activate it in your task manager and press ok in it (left softkey)
Limitations:
2. It doesn't work in Start/Programs and in Word/Excel (maybe Powerpoint) - I don't know why
If you find other programs (MAJOR PROGRAMS - WHICH MANY PEOPLE USE) that don't work, post here - please don't spam and don't post a program that doesn't need the scroll anyway.
I tested this on my Toshiba G900 (if scrolling with Volume keys, don't hold them pressed) and my wife's HTC Touch.
PS: thanks to Nagakubo Tomohiro (creator of PQz and PQzII) for trying to help.
Change Log:
Code:
0.04b - 26 June 2008
- command line options (by default the app has scroll enabled):
ss - switch scroll mode - only used if app is already running
son - turn scroll mode on - can also be used on startup
soff - turn scroll mode off - can also be used on startup
only use one command line option at a time
this is useful like this:
- In Windows/StartUp copy RKeyScroll Off.lnk to start the app every time the system starts with scrolling disabled
- In Windows/Start Menu/Programs there's RKeyScroll Switch.lnk -map this to a hardware button of your choice (thanks to fisch3009 for the idea)
- made the install easier - packed as a CAB - creates all shortcuts, for automatic startup you must copy manually
- G900 version has scroll switch mapped to camera tap (it cannot be remapped with windows anyway)
0.03b - 25 June 2008
- separate version for Toshiba G900 - this i can test on ;)
- fixed OK button on Toshiba G900
- when no scroll is possible, buttons do what they normally do
- added smoother scrolling on volume up/volume down
- changed the code to avoid future bugs ;)
- still a bug: when start menu/quick menu is opened, it still scrolls the window beneath
0.02b - 24 June 2008
- first release
Hope you like it !

If you want to get your finger in the way while reading something AND get your screen dirty, use TouchFLO or SPB Plus for finger scrolling
Great Idea! I'm looking for a automated "timer" type scroller? Where you put like 10 seconds in the setup, and it would automatically scroll a page every 10 (or whatever seconds). No need to touch screen or dpad...
This is very cool. I sometimes have trouble reading through my thumb
I notice it still tries to scroll in the application that it can control even when it is not the current focus application.
Could you make it deactivate when the focus program is something it doesn't work in?
Also make it run in the background so I don't have to run it everytime I want to use it.
E.g. when I am in IE and I activate QuickMenu it still scrolls IE and ignores QuickMenu. Also you mention it doesn't work in File Explorer, likewise in Total Commander you can see the scroll bar move but the screen doesn't scroll.
Possibly have an exemptions list similar to FTouchFlo (I can see you don't like this) so we can add programs that we prefer the D pad to work natively in. Also any chance of kinetic scrolling?
Keep it up!

In 0.3b, if it can't scroll, the buttons resume their normal functions, so yes.

It's already like this - you just run it once, minimize it, and change windows, it will scroll the active one (unless there are bugs )

I don't like the idea of an exception list - i want to keep this as simple as possible. On my Toshiba G900 i can disable the scrolling with the camera button - so this would solve the problem of using the DPad as a DPad when needed. I will see how I could add this functionality to other phones (i just need the camera button code)

Perhpas you can add an command line option to switch on and off the dpad scroll function, so everybody can map the software to his or her preferred hardwarebutton.

I thought i would make the button configurable in the registry, but the user should know the code of the button. Your way is a lot simpler. I will add it in 0.3b tonight before posting it.
You saved me a lot of time.
Thanks !
Cool, will link to it in my next misc news article.
nice nice idea...
Maybe this is already known, but I cannot change the volume with the scroll-wheel during a call.
Perhaps you also fixed it in your new version. Tnx anyway.

Wow, fast development
Installs from CAB and maps to my camera button great.
The switch command doesn't turn it on and off, just opens the RKeyScroll dialogue the same as the RKeyScroll On command. Is this supposed to happen?
I would like it to start and run silently and not even show up in the running programs list and then stop when the switch command is run again.
BTW, still doesn't work in Total Commander for me.

Weird, for me the RKeyScroll Switch disables/enables the scroll and the window doesn't get activated(just like i programmed it to do).
Oh, I know. You're closing the app and then running RKeyScroll Switch. Don't click "OK" - this closes the app. Just minimize it, and then press the button mapped to "Switch" - it will work. It will not activate the window again.
About the silent start: That's how I want it to behave, but i got sleepy, so... 0.5b will probably do that.
Just a shameless bump
Only works for exe (shortcut ".lnk" won't work)
Code:
1. HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\ApplicationName
2. e.g. Change it to "\..\Windows\Pie.exe"
thats just linking to another application. but its not released for windows mobile use.

???
Of course it is a registry tweak and not an application ?
What am i doing wrong?
i changed the reg key to: \Windows\CommManager.exe
but it still tells me that there is no panel manager instead of opening the communication manager.

I made this mistake as well, it's because you've missed the most important part.
1. HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\ApplicationName
2. e.g. Change it to "\..\Windows\Pie.exe"
"\..\"
You must put that at the start. I did my comm manager and has to do:
"\..\Windows\CommManagerLink.exe"
Thanks for finding this to the OP as well, been looking to get this changed for a while!
i installed one of the roms that do not have panel manager installed. this trick doesnt seem to work on the rom
im confused
cansomeone pls explain what u can achieve by changing this buttoins function other than losing acces to the panel function :S or does this simply mean u can save cpu usage
pls reply with some insight
thnx
Uh... but if you assign your panel button to something else.... then how you gonna access the panels still?
This is incase you dont use the panels.
Like me... i have had the original rom, and 2 roms here on this forum (custom)
And with every rom i had the same thing.
Having tf3d and panels will crash my phone (when i use e.g. google panel and then hit the x for panel change, then i often need to remove battery and place it again)
i rather have the tf3d then panels if i have to choose.
so thats why i use the X for a different app.
AE Button Plus
Or you could use 'AE Button Plus' it works for me flawlessly. I can assign the Panel Button to just about anything I choose.
how did you asign something to the AE button?
how do i reassign another button to run panel manager? I tried to execute /Program Files/Panel Manager/PanelManager.exe but that does not bring up the panel manager
anheuer said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In AE Button Plus main screen, select FILE menu and choose ADD BUTTON and the dialog box that pops up is waiting for you to press a hardware button...
Press the X-PANEL button (which will probably launch panel manager if it's installed, no matter close that down) it will then allow you to press in the dialog box 'ADD KEY' and also shows you the Key code...
The key code will be next to the newly created button in the list for you to assign to whateve you like.

he uses QuickMenu 2.7 as a replacement start menu.

Yeah, assign Quickmenu.exe to the panel button and you get a "startmenu" button. Search for Quickmenu 2.7 around the forum....
doesnt work
I followed your directions and can't get the x-panel button to run quickmenu. It still runs the panel manager. There's something else that needs to be done, and I haven't' a clue what that is.
At least I was able to load the cab file that makes panels work on the touch HD. So when I eventually get the x-panel button reassigned, I can still access panels (which I infrequently do as it is). I have yet to see the value of panels. I like running things in the background concurrently, i.e. listening to streaming radio or mp3, txt'ing, using GPS, or exploring on the web. Panel switching seems to halt other tasks.
Kinda works
Finally got quickmenu to work with the x-panel key. Another important tidbit of info is that quickmenu must already be running for the x-button to invoke it. Otherwise it loads panelmanager.
Another bit of info, as soon as you run panel for the first time (in programs, the touch HD cab adds it on install), the behavior reverts back to the x-panel key invoking panelmanager and not quickmenu. I checked, quickmenu is still running. Figure that one out. Very confusing.
i installed panel as a seperate cab, i dont have the panel manager in my programs and i cant seem to invoke it any other way besides pressing the hardware button

I heard AEbutton plus cannot grab the OK button. Is this true?
On my X1 i run the SPB Panel. This gives me 3 ways to get to my recent programs by a single button push. There's the left soft key, the 'Recent' virtual directory and the recent list in the start menu.
I think it would be sensible if one of these could be a CURRENT list instead. IE programs which are open and you may want to activate. I like the built-in task manager in the Tools area but it's not accessible when a program is active. Something on the task bar would be much better, so how about a list in the start menu? There are lots of start menu programs and I wondered if anyone had seen one that has this feature?
Thanks
NB: SPB Panel disables the HTC Task Manager

is there a program or a cab that would allow us to assign the HTC Manila 3d Start menu to any hardware button?
i tried using AEButton plus but it only launches the default old windows mobile 6.1 drop down start menu..
i've tried everything from using manila.exe --switchtopage to searching the entire registry for clues but i can't find a path or attribute command that can be used in a LNK file to create a shortcut path to the HTC/Manila start menu..
i tried searching the threads too and got zilch for 2 days now..
