[Q] Is it possible to disable the Home soft buttons? - Touch HD General

Hi,
I've seen a few screenshots of peoples Blackstone home pages and they haven't had the two soft buttons at the bottom of the screen - I think they default as being 'Contact' and 'Programs'.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Thanks

You can do this with SKTools for instance.

Thanks John

Sorry John, any idea how to do it? I've tried, and cleared some buttons on the buttons tab, but it has made no difference.
Sorry to ask.
Thanks.

How can I disable the Align Screen shortcut?

While playing the most excellent "1942", I discovered that simultaneously pressing the D-pad in and the top right button (calender) launches the "Align Screen" app. Does anyone know how to unmap this keypress combo from the Align Screen thingummy. It makes arcade gaming quite frustrating - every time I get to a tricky bit, and start pressing keys wildly, the game is interrupted.
There are other threads about disabling the screen alignment process altogether (e.g. on startup). I DON'T want to do that! Just remove the shortcut.
I have the same problem, any info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
i also want to do that and would appreciate help.
Unfortunately I could not replicate your problem,is this happening only while you are playing the game or into Today screen too?
What OS are you using?
Actually I am using Wm5 and this 'bug' is not present.
what WM5 device are you using?

change JogWheel behavior

Hello,
Just got my TyTn and got a question.
If i got a long email (about 34k just plane text) this is a lot of text.
With my tytn and the jogwheel it is possible to scroll down a page (or scroll up a page of course)
I was wondering, is there a way to make this shorter, so that the jogwheel doesnt schroll a complete page, but a half a page or maybe just 3 lines.
When i read a complete page the backight of my tytn turns dark.
Reminder: i do not want to change the settings in backlight! this is exactly the way i want it, but when i scroll more often the backlight stay on.
Please help
I hope it is possible.
Paul

Been playing around with my new TyTn also. I'm about to install all the software I had on my Wizard, when I was using my Wizard, Tweaks2k2 had an option for smooth scrolling, I'll see if it will change anything.

Make sure you turn off the volume adjustments that are assigned by default to Button #4075. After doing this my buttons function normally allowing me to call the start menu from the side button and the volume calls are eliminated.

I use the latest AEBPlus. If you use the add button function you can add the OK buttons and retain the start menu actuation via the side OK button while making those buttons actually close applications.

Under Options>Volume Adjustments make sure all entries are NOT checked.

Hmmm, strange. i can't seem to find that option under options. We are talking about options in AEBplus right? Only thing that says volume on it is "restore volume slider". Is this the one I should uncheck all items?
Thanks for helping out dude.

That's the correct name. I was coming from my memory. There are three options in there make sure none are checked.
Thanks for helping out aadadams. Still having problems though. After a while the windows button won't open start menu and neither will ok button on the side of Tytn. Too bad, I really liked the function to be able to really close programs with hardware ok button.
Not entirely related but similar, I was wondering whether it is possible to get the scroll wheel to scroll quickly through the contacts list using the 'big letter' lookup? I know of a couple of people who say the phone has randomly done this for them but they can't figure out how.

I do not have a problem with the side button. When pressed while on the today screen it launches the start menu. How are your buttons mapped? Have you assigned multiple functions to these buttons that fail over time?

Nope, only thing I've done is add button and pressed ok hardware button. Then I mapped it to close active program or whatever the term is.
It shows up as button 4075 I think.
Wierd, I did basically the same thing with that button but I remapped several others to extend their fuunctionality. I have never had that happed. My next question is what other apps are you running especially immature apps that may cause the conflict.
Hmm, not running that much else. Wisbar advance and pocketbreeze. That's about it.
I do not use Wisbar apps and sine it does make changes to native start and ok functions it could be the problem. Run without it for day or so and see what happens.
With only wisbar and no aeb+ everything has been ok, will uninstall wisbar and try only aeb instead.

S2U2 and sms notification query

Hello all,
I have a couple questions regarding my Touch dual (HTC with dutch original rom)
I like S2U2 very much and it's a little annoying that a received sms shows in a window on screen even though S2U2 is active. I 'd rather look on my phonealarm link to look at my sms. I know you can disable this in the settings menu, but every time i soft reset, it keeps reverting to the old setting (ie "show message in window"). Any way to avoid this?
Also, does anywone know how to go straight to the message by clicking on the phonealarm link (instead of going through the menu containing all the received messages first)?
Secondly: I would really like to power on the screen using the action (center DPad) button. I thought i had found the solution by not locking the buttons in the S2U2 menu, but apparently, the DPad is the only button that doesn't power on the screen when locked with S2U2.
I tried installing AEButton plus, and assigned an action to the button, but apparently, S2U2 (just like S2V and S2P, all great programs by the way) overrules AEButtonplus.
So any way to turn on the screen with the center DPad button when the phone is locked with S2U2?
I've been searching, but haven't found any answers to these questions.
Thanks for replying!
anyone know the answer?

what have I done?

Hi everyone. Noobie here!
When I scroll through the menus on my Treo Pro, to go up and down I have to press left and right on the centre ring button.
Is there anywhere in the menus where I can reset this as it's driving me mad!!
Thanks
Rick
D-Pad: Go up and down, have to push left or right!!!

I'd love to know if you found a solution for this, as mine started this S*** about a month ago and I have NOT found a solution on my Treo Pro. HELP!
I've had the same thing happen to mine when i tries SPB MS3. I pressed the rotate screen button in the software, and the screen did not change...But the cursor buttons did.
What software have you run?
Maybe you can find the setting of buttons on System or Option? Usually the buttons setting is in the System or Option like my ZorroGPS.
Somehow, you have changed your screen orientation to landscape. search for an app to change from landscape. i had this issue and i dont remember where i found the app. last alternative is a hard rest.
Change registry entry HKLM/system/GDI/Rotation/Angle from whatever it is (in my case 270) to 0
Worked for me.

[Q] Modify Touch sensitive buttons

Hello all! I was wondering if its possible to modify the software to add controls to turn the touch sensitive buttons off and on? Maybe a widget? It seems I am always touching them and knocking myself out of apps. Maybe even remapping the sleep/power button to home instead of sleep and deactivating the buttons all together?
Hi,
I'd be interested in this also!!
