I did a search but I couldn't find an answer to my problem...try this.
I mounted LG Today Buttons and I think its contact manager is really nice, the question is: is it possible to assign left softkey to open an application?
I found the option to assign application to hardware buttons only (and, however, CM isn't enlisted)...
Sorry...My search was really bad.
Found and solved, please admin cancel this 3D.
Thank you

Hi, I am quite happy with my Cingulare 8125, but I sometimes find myself in situations where I would rather not use the stylus, and then I wish there was a way to put the start menu and the OK button on one of the device's buttons. Also, if it is bright outside, dialing a number is a bit awkward. has anybody had the same problem and perhaps found a solution?
Yep, it's called Smartskey and it'll do exactly what you want. Do a search and you'll find all kinds of info about it.
Also look for FakeCursor. Works great!

I second that.
I also use WM5NewMenu and PHM TrayLaunch. Both of these let you arrange the menu/shortcut order to suit your needs and are navigable with the Dpad. With these two and smartskey my wizard is one thumbed use rather than one handed. I have managed easily without a stylus.
Regarding the visibility in bright daylight, try changing your theme/skin to something with more contrast or increasing the backlight settings. Alternatively use MSVoiceCommand or the standard voice dialer for existing contacts, I haven't had much luck with MSVoiceCommand recognising number strings correctly for new phone numbers though.
Thanks to all.
I have downloaded the smartskey and I'll give that a try. It seems to do what I want.
Regarding the dialing: As this is a phone, I'd like to see a dedicated number pad on it, or a remapping of the existing softbuttons to numbers. For example the DPAD (might) have 9 positions (if the corners are recognized differently than left or up), which could be mapped to 1-9. Add 1 other softbutton for 0 and you have a complete dialpad. Perhaps in another release ...
Brilliant

Ok, I think this is my first post, for I am a professional lurker and all, but I swear I jumped out of my chair when I read this. This is perfect. Perfect, brilliant idea, would solve the single greatest drawback of this phone IMO. PLEASE tell me that there is a way to make this happen. I know, for example, that smartskey remaps the d-pad buttons to open up contacts, recent call list, etc. So I'm guessing a little tweaking somewhere could make this happen? If not smartskey, a new program perhaps? Here is my promise: someone comes up with this program, and I'll make little numbers stickers to go around the d-pad (yeah, laugh, but I'll do it!)

Cing. 8125
Cing. 2.25 ROM
Hey everyone, sorry to start a new thread on this but the existing thread on SmartSKey is WAY too long and quite honestly I just have a simple question.
Can the OKKEY=1 command be used with the Cingular 8125? It doesn't seem to be working for me. The program is absolutely fantastic, but I wouldn't mind having the ability to close programs with the OK Key .. which so far seems to only work on the Prophet. Is the Wizard supported as well?
One more question about this program.
Is it possible to remap the LSKEY and RSKEY to open programs other than "Calendar" and "Contacts"? I wouldn't reprogramming those to something else, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do it with WM alone. Can SmartSKey make this possible?
Thank you all for any/all help!!
yes and yes.
google 'soft key remap control panel' or words to that effect, also go to ppcfreewares.com
Awesome .. found it here.
I still can't get the OKKEY=1 thing to work out tho .. it always just hides the app and doesn't actually close it. Anyone have any advice? Thanks.
i may have misunderstood your first question, the default setting is to minimise, if there are other options such as close, i don't know of them or how to edit. sorry

Ahh .. I see. Well if the default is to mimize then that's fine as well, it's just that the ReadMe file that comes with the software says to use the OKKEY=1 command with the CLOSEAPP=1 command so that kind of threw me off into thinking that the OK Key can be used to close an application as opposed to minimize/hide it.
The ReadMe file says:
"OKKEY=1 (0 or 1)
Set OKKEY to 1 allows phone with OK button (e.g. Prophet) to do force close function (use with CLOSEAPP, EXCEPTIONLIST)
CLOSEAPP=1 (0 or 1)
Set CLOSEAPP to 1 if you want to close app instead of hiding it using the left soft key. (DEFAULT 0)"
So that leads me to believe that using the CLOSEAPP and OKKEY commands together will allow the OKKEY to do the same as the LSKEY .. which is to force close the app instead of minimizing. Am I misreading this or is it still possible to do that?
i always have had it in a rom, never bothered to dl the app itself until now to look at the read me file. i don't really understand the instruction, maybe it's for devices with a dedicated ok button to actually close, because the left soft key hold opens the start menu, changing 0 or 1 will only turn it off or on not add another function.
How do I restore (rebind) the RESOLUTION & CONTROL dedicated buttons to the corresponding applications? And what did I do that unbound them?? [Apologies in advance if this has been asked and answered already; I just joined here, and searching FAQ etc didn't find anything relevant.]
answer to my own question
I found that NuClear235 had already posted an answer at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=378650
But it did not work exactly as NuClear235 described. My Synaptics control panel did not have any BUTTONS option. I installed the generic driver from synaptics.com and the BUTTONS option appeared. ControlCenterLauncher.exe should be bound to SCROLL LEFT as described, but ResolutionSwitchLauncher should be bound to SCROLL DOWN, not SCROLL UP as he stated. It works fine now!!
Hi, is there any program or tweak to add one or more new softkeys on the bottom bar besides the original left and right softkeys?
The new softkey can be associated with different shortcuts for quick program loading/menu display/convenient operations on different programs' interface, (not just today screen). So it will give users an easy DIY method to improve some programs' users interface.
Thanks!

I did have done the search work quit a long time before posting this thread.
Actually I know lots of ways to re-map the softkeys and hard buttons. I also found the solution to add new options in the softkeys' menu list.
But my question is to ADD one/more new SOFTKEY. I do appreciate if you can just confirm me that you do have seen any solution for my question. Then I will do the search work harder but hopefully .
Thank you for your reply.
I have no answer for your problem but I am using BatteryStatus that allow to configure icons in the bottom of the screen.

Actually I know SKMenu can do this job, in some way. I am seeking a simple solution/program, which is more flexible and powerful for the above-mentioned purpose.
a far as i know there is no way for that. but if you need so much buttons i would use one of the many launchers.
Wisbar Advance 3 can show one more Button, I think!
I need an application which allows you to use your touchscreen without touching. I mean when you open the keyboard of the phone, it's hard to reach to touch the screen. So I need an app which brings a pointer or something and you can map the arrow keys of the keyboard to control the pointer and map Enter to touch.
No one? Have I asked a question already answered? At least reply!
I don't know any such an app. IMHO this isn't wizard specific, so try googling something. Or repost this thread in more "general" forum

I did a search for the word MOUSE and took this from a resulting thread.

In case it is only the digitizer and not your LCD screen: SPB MOBILE SHELL lets you almost do anything on your PPC with only softkeys and navigation pad. The HW keyboard works on your device anyway I asume? If you want to take a closer look: http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/prod...nshots.html?en

It was the last post in the thread so no more info is available, but it related to the fact that the user could not use the touch screen.
Hope that helps.
