OK/Close Button Freeware?

Hey Guys, I just recently baught the T-mobile MDA and am looking for the OK/close button freeware mentioned in this review http://www.brighthand.com/default.asp?newsID=12194 Can anyone direct me to where I can find it?
This site is incredible but I'm having a hard time locating this program.

Sounds like they're talking about Smartskey It double duties the soft keys as start and ok/close+more.

Here's a dedicated thread for Smartskey which has download links for the app...

I agree with vijay - use that combination small and sweet! No glitches at all

You have to install it in the main memory or in the storage memory and it should start on it's own (provided you have enabled the Auto Start option in its settings. If you install it in the storage card, you will probably need to start it manually.

on my device it all happened automaticly. IF you tap&hold the X or OK in the left top corner of the screen you should see it getting active. tap&hold again ans magic button goes away

I still have not found the perfect task closer/manager. I have used several, but am still searching for the perfect application. The following are my criteria for the idea solution:
1.) Small. This is one of the only applications in main memory for speed/stability, so I want is small
2.) I want the WM5 icons. I like the square X and do not want any extraneous icons for settings (i.e. vbar). Essentially, I do not want to know the application is running.
3.) Task switcher. Ideally, i would tap and hold on the X to get a drop down with all the open apps that I can then switch to.
That is it, nothing extra. All the Wisbar derivatives (vbar, magic button) have extra icons for the settings. The two closest candidates for perfect closer/manager I have come across are wClose by Rui Goncalves and tMan by jasnapaka.com. wClose is only 8k :shock: and uses WM5 icons, but no task switcher. tMan has a great task switcher and is small, but uses a dot instead of WM5 icons. I am currently using wClose. My 2 cents.

My question would be "Whats wrong with the way the settings function now in S2U2?"
So some pics would be helpful for me too. Thanks

S2A Text
My PCs playing up so screenshots will have to come tomorrow...

Hello,
First off I have WM 6.1
What is Unlock EXE for? I tried the path to s2u2.exe and it only kept the lock screen on permanently. I had to do a reset to get back to today.
Also, once file->save is selected, the close button does nothing, but the options are saved anyway.

it's good great tool setting, thank you

cool. thanks

Yes this most useful. I believe without you have to edit the registry manually.

hasnt this been out for a while now? i remember dling something similiar if not the same app but older and it let me set lock, unlock wavs, slide and answer txt..

Nice....
Great works...Hopefully in future we will see more function. Likewise changing background,clock etc..We can still do these things. But you can add those function, so anybody can change it with settingplus..Thanks again..

Just a feedback, the soft key <Close> did not close the program, the screen still remains. Need to close it via the [x] at the top right hand corner.
Overall, a nifty program. Thanks for sharing!!

for sum reason the wav file for me dont work

Yes it has. I've recently gone back to it, and added the "Unlock EXE" and tweaked it a bit.
BTW, UnlockEXE is what S2U2 will launch when you unlock the device.

How large files were they?
Were they wav files, or some other format?
And, was the path generated in the text box correct?

2.3.1 released. Close button should do something now!

Will test out the ApptoDate for your latest version, once I go home.
Update:
The soft key works, even ask you for a confirmation..

will this still work in the latest cersion os S2U2 v1.30?

I believe not for the S2U2 and S2A text.. cos' A_C moves it to another location now.

Annoying, VERY annoying problem - function keys

Hey guys,
As the title says Ive got a very annoying problem with my xperia. Problem is that the right function keys (silver one) assigned action always changes from "right function key" to "Today" upon restart.
Id like to not do a hard-reset if possible. Anyone got any suggestions how to make sure it sticks with what action I assign to it?
Cheers

sounds to me like the assignment isn't "sticking" in the registery and goes away after restart. try a registery editor and manually assign the key to the program you want.

i have the same problem. do you have tf3d installed ?

yes I do have tf3d installed. which registry key should I change?

I have the same problem. In addition to tf3d I installed the cab that enables to make a panel out of it. Help?

Use AEBPlus to re-assign the key(s). For each hard keys, you get 4 different actions. You will appreciate what u can do with the hard keys!

Also mine after installed touchflo3d.
Guys, remove TF3d! We have a Xperia, X-panel is more than enaught.

doesn't work in my x1. something keeps changing the registry value back ... :-(

yep I had this problem too when I installed TF3D. In the end I uninstalled it because I wanted the right button mapped to voice command and it got annoying having to remap it after every soft reset
if someone has successfully stopped it automatically setting it to "today" please tell us how

I am using Touch-HD Manilla instead of TF3D and don't have this problem. Why not use Touch-HD Manilla instead? From what I read, this is faster than TF3D.

Post 1, Manilla HD Full
or
Post 2 Manilla HD, components
I have only so far installed Manilla HD Full, and have never tried the the individual components.

Interesting, I have this too, and I also have TF3D installed as a panel...

and you're using manilla hd full ?

Yes, am using Manilla HD Full. Also installed the T3FD panel, but later removed it.
I am on ROM 1.02 (was on ROM 1.01 also) by Jack Leung, AEBPlus works on both with Manilla HD Full installed. Didn't bother to install the panel.

I have Touch HD,but I also have this problem,why...

Just curious, are you on the original rom?
I understand some ROMs, the email signature also doesn't get saved. Wonder if this is a related issue.

customize

any advise will be greatly apreciated
On the home screen of my diamond 2, below the touchflo slider icons i have two links one is 'Phone' the other is 'Camera'.
Basically i want to change the 'Camera' link to 'Contacts' or 'All People' so i can quickly access my contacts.
Im sure this is possible, can any one point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance

**Edit, removing program**

tried keyswop but it didnt work for me
managed to get it working with diamond tweaks but it only had a set amount of programs to choose from, i wanted 'HTC people' version of contacts but it only listed the windows mobile layout of the contacts... yeah i know i am being a bit picky!!!!
is there any way of adding htc people to the list?
Thanks for all the advice mate

I just find this:

Softkey Changer didnt work for me im afraid......thanks for the info my friend.
The search continues !!

You may try HDTools or Advanced Config aswell, I remember it worked for me when I had WM6.1, but should work also with 6.5, since the registry keys are the same in that area.
EDIT: I thought that it wouldn't be very smart to install a whole app just to get one tweak..so I made a little .cab that should link the Left Soft Key to Contacts. Tested and working on my device, I hope it works for you!
Install on your device (not SD) and soft reset, that's it. To revert to previous configuration just uninstall the .cab in the usual way.

That may help You forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3292483&postcount=2

thanks for the ideas i will try them out.
This forum is awsome and thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply.

I'd go for FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab it's free and simple a real WYSIWYG application

Turn off light with another button?

Does anybody know if it's possible to turn off the phonelight with the button to the right?
You usually use the on-button on the top of the phone but I think it would've been easier to use the button you hang up a conversation with. (just as you are with HTC HD2).
Hoping on a .cab or a positive answer

You can use TD2 Tools that has program called boot manager and assign to a key with Keyboard controller.

Yes, that is the TD2 Tool to install.
Then install the enclosed Kbd controll program. Its pretty intuitive, just keep short press as default and set your long or double press to Boot manager.
or..... you can use SSMaHo to map a shortcut from manila home screen.
As far as instructions, you'll have to read as it is too hard to explain in brief.
One thing you will find is that the left soft key is locked for editing in most ROMs.
You can also set it to a softkey in the registry in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila;
LSK, RSK (left and right soft key path and text)
