Hy everyone!
Just wondering if there is any possible way to remapp the hands-free button on the original Diamond hands-free.
As I never use voice command, I would like to perform other tasks using that button such as skipping tracks in media player.
There was another thread opened in "General discussion > Development and Hacking"
[http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337492]
in 2006 but nobody responded and I dared to resurrect it hopeing someone will care to write the code.
So....we'll play the waiting game now )
Have a look here. This works for the Blackstone. It might work on the Diamond.

Hi.Thanks for the reply.
But as I was reading the thread you pointed me I realised that the app just allows you to assign another app to the hands-free button. This is preaty cool,only problem is that I'm intending to use my hands-free to control the media-player (not just to launch it !).
So I guess this app is not suitable for this task.
Thanks anyway!
Sure you could, if not now, then later after I write the functionality.
But how are you going to control it with one button? What should that one button do that will enable any useful degree of control?
I think the only useful option is for instance, press and hold = advance to next track, and press and release = pause/play.
But 1 button doesn't leave many options! If anyone has a cheap E100 wired stereo headset they don't need, let me know please. I'd love to hack it up a bit.

(PS I think PHM Keyboard Tools will allow you to advance tracks and Pause/Play in Windows Media Player. This might help if you want to test the above hypothesis).

This is exactly what I need! Do you think it can be done?
I'll try your app to see if it works on Diamond and post here the results. Afterwards maybe you can add the mentioned funcionality.
Thanks a lot!
@marginean.m - let me know if this works on the diamond.
I've just written a new app, VJWMPlayerControl, to control Windows Media Player. It'll start up WMP and start it playing music if it's not already running. [It seems the old PHM Key Tools I referred to don't work any more]
Once running, you can control all of the playback features, so I've currently got it running so I can skip tracks with Press and Hold on the headset, and Play/Pause with a double click of the headset.
This is on the Touch HD, not sure about the Diamond.
If VJPoof works for the Diamond, I'll release this app. It's quite useful, it allows you to start and control WMP just from the wired headset.

Hi vijay555.
Just installed the VJWMPlayerControl but doesn't do nothing.
As I understood some command line modifications need to be made before it works. But I didn't find on your website any info about this specific app.
Maybe you can point me in the right direction...
thanks again for your help and patience
LATER EDIT
ok...maybe I got the main ideea...need to use the VjPoOff to remapp ...
anyways,I feel like I should have said this from the begining,but I whant to use the TouchFLO MediaPlayer....
Would this be impossible? If not, I really need some instructions
Have you installed the VJWMPlayerControl cab?
If so, it should install a couple of example shortcuts in your program menu.
These show you how to use command lines.
Here is some info on my website on creating shortcuts.
http://www.vijay555.com/?Help:Command_Lines
Now as I have quite clearly indicated, VJWMPlayerControl is for controlling WMP. It can do this from shortcuts in your program files, today launchers etc. On its own it won't do anything with the handsfree.
However, use VJPoOf to then make a custom shortcut to the playpause function and next function and remap it to the headset.
Follow the info in the VJPoOf thread to find out how to do this for any app, and then specifically for VJWMPlayerControl. Come back if you need more help.

Hi Vijay.
Just tryed the vjwmplayercontrol on Diamond and it works like a charm. It's a quite usefull app. Thanks!
But when you get some spare time maybe you can figure out a way of controling the TF3D Media Player.
Hope to hear from you soon.
I'm having some trouble getting this to work.
I Installed VJWMPlayerControl, made a shortcut and put "next" in the shortcut tab. But when I open WM and press the headsetbutton, my diamond still wants to call somebody or record a voicememo.
I tried to use JZ settings. There I went to advanced button mapping, open control panel >settings >buttons. There I changed Button 1(hold) to Next track. But it still doesn't work!
I really have no clue how to get this working and I'd really like it because it's annoying to get your phone out everytime you want to change the track. Can somebody tell me how you do this exactly?
Thanks
Nobody?
@TruckerJoe:
if you're posting about VJWMPlayerControl, you might want to post in that thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3303683#post3303683
I have pointed out that VJWMPlayerControl merely lets you control WM Player.
To actually change the function of the wired headset buttons, you need to replace the apps that are launched when you press the headset button (redial.exe etc).
For that, you need to use VJPoOf (or do it manually).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476412
So I suggest go and read my VJPoOf thread, and either install that or make the replacement apps to replace the press and hold or double tap on the wired headset.
Once you're familiar with that, make those apps point at VJWMPlayerControl shortcuts.
VJPoOf is, IMHO, a neat way to achieve this.

WMPControls
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451550
@moneytoo - I hadn't seen that app. Wish I had! However mine controls a couple more functions and also supports auto starting WMP, playing from your library, without WMP being started, which really helps with the hands free. With VJPoOf, the phone doesn't even have to be on. Just press n hold the headset button, even when off, to start your music.

would be great if someone would develop this to work with COREPLAYER

Guys - another quick hack.
Still in beta subject to your reports.
All it does is shows the today screen for as long as you hold down the button it is assigned to.
So, install the cab; assign it to a hardware button in the control panel.
Press and hold that button and today screen should pop up (you'll see a little icon in the top left). Let go, and you should go back to where you were. Theory being, say you're in a call but want to look at your Today quickly. Pop in, pop out.
If you want to stay in the Today screen, just click on the little icon in the top left.

}
The cab will install two versions, normal and TodayButtonOFF.
TodayButtonOFF will cause the PocketPC to switch itself immediately off when you've finished looking at the today screen. This is so that you can assign a hardware key and use it to switch on the PPC, look at today screen, and immediately switch off when you're finished.
This version is still slightly flaky, but try it and see if it works.
Please report how it goes.
Do not launch it directly by stylus click in programs menu. If you do, it'll go to the Today screen but you'll lose your hardware buttons for 45 seconds, at which point it will reset the buttons. You can launch it by the action button as normal (hold it down).
I'm not sure how this works with program redefiners like buttonmax etc. Please report!
Vijay

anyone tried this yet?

First of all, its a great tool!!!
The bad side -
I'm using AE Button plus. This enables, single-double-triple clicks for each button (rather its configurable). When I have this running in the background, it doesnt work...otherwise, it works great.
Besides, I dont think i can ever live without AEBP, as i've pretty much mapped everything to something or the other!!
Fix this, and i'm sure i'd be using it, its extremely handy!!!
Also, great work....i'm using the VJDialer and VJSms, and its an amazing little app!!!!
Best,
San
dreamtheater39 - thanks for the tip and feedback
I didn't think it would work with AE Button - I used to use it but have stopped using it recently (I might be writing my own version :wink
I think this tool is useful, but I think most of us use something like ButtonMax or AEButton, so it's a shame it doesn't work right now - I'll work on it!
Have you tried the poweroff version? That's quite a useful tool - use it to switch on the PPC, look at Today, and switch off again.
V
I did try the TodayToggleOFF as well...
Its very useful especially when on a phone conversation to check my calendar!!
I managed to get it working fine now....here's what i do...
I've disabled manipulation of my camera button by AEBP. I dont have multiple clicks for the camera button, but i have ToggleToday assigned which I find really realllyyy useful!!!
Thanks again!!
San
Good idea - didn't think of that!
I think this is a tool that I will actually use - I'm doing a few hacks to make the today screen more useful, so having quick and easy access to it helps I think.
V
Vijay, this app sounds like a great idea. I always go back to my today screen on a call.
I'll give it a whirl and let you know.
Is this program still available?
It sound promising
I would also like to give it a try...
Xadaa: I've updated my webpage with this app.
Sorry for the slow updates, I've got no XDA devs access at work Nightmare!
V
I've got this mapped to the camera button on my wizard, and i love this little app. It's been working without any problems for about two weeks now.
Thanks a lot for this program
My single problem is thatMy pjone doest turn on when I press the hard button I have assigned to TodayButtonOFF. It goes off when I release it and works great while i am pressing it.
Great software
Thanks. I have it assigned to my PTT button on my Tilt. Works great!!
Heres the cab again if anyone wants to try it.
I was reading through this page:
http://microsoft.blognewschannel.co...bile-7-to-focus-on-touch-and-motion-gestures/
and I was especially interesting in this image:

I was thinking this sort of "transition" before going to sleep would be possible using something like mortscript. I havn't done a lot with mortscript but I was wondering if anyone else thinks this is possible?
WELL! this reminds me of a third party program .. I wish I could remember or find the name. It was posted to a free software forum (which I can't mention unless you PM).
Basically it had 6-10 transitions (that you can set for random if desired) that occurred wwen you woke up the device or put it into standby. IT was fluid, worked well, and looked awesome. IIRC, it even had a "Swoosh" sound when the screen spun around and zoomed down to a dot, then shut off. I got rid of it because the activation wasn't working correctly.
It will certainly look awesome on my phone now, with pointUI and slide2unlock on it. I would buy it today if I could find it ........
If I remember or discover it, I will reply to this.
Of course, RE: your original post, it would certain be amazing to see this feature built-in to WM7. I would like to see the whole entire OS have MUCH more animation, fluid sliding/scrolling movements .. like the iPhone. The hardware is certainly capable of it (as seen in PointUI)!

Its not freeware. It was once offered on handago, but no longer. The developers website is under construction [http://solidorb.marvelz.com/index.html]
I emailed them asking about it, you might want to do the same (email is on their website).
FYI the program costs $10.
I absolutely love that transitions program except that there's no way (at least not that I've heard of) to map that program to work when you hit the power button. Perhaps I will pay for it when someone cracks how to remap the power key.

Hello
Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnl (Power button)
So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want
I attached one of my favorite short cuts unzip the file then put it in to your windows folder. then press Send Key for about 2 to 3 second to run the shortcut. It will bring up the wifi networks.
Have fun.

1 and 2 are the same just yhe second one is a cab file for pocket suspend fx and first one is pc exe file and the third and fourth are htc end key if u have the latest htc device then it does have it if u have other device then htc then u can install this htc software to your device and the last one fourth is a hack to map a button to a software !!
and sorry pocket suspend fx is not [email protected] !!! you can find it in other places !!!
i set the short press power button to enable pocket suspend FX but there is no way to wake up the screen with the push of the power button is there anyway to fix that?
hah .. good question. How did you turn your pda back on?!
You would think the Pocket Suspend FX dev's would have figured that part out ....
Looking forward to the answer.
haha i turned it on by connecting it to activesync and then i deleted the shortcut i made until i find a way to turn it on with the power button
seems to work fine when mapped to the short press power button, but when depressing the power button from standby (short press), my device wont wake up unless i hold the power button for longer than usually necessary?
for now, ive assigned power suspend fx to the long press power button unless i can get it to work in a more traditional manner
jd
i used this app a while ago but i hate it that when my screen is off the program is already transitioning back to the normal screen what normaly should only happen when you put the device back on.
is this the same with you guys?
how do you know if your screen is off whats happening on your screen?
jd
Anyone
Did anyone try again something to know how really Suspend FX works ??
Hate to bring this up again after its been dead for a while but any new updates from any of you on getting this to work?
I tried messing around with s2u2 and replacing the exes with the PocketSuspend one since s2u2 starts and stops with the press of the power button... but not luck yet other than it works like it supposed to the first time then just dies or something.

Great stuff!
I was really missing the Action screen from TyTN II.
The only problem I noticed was the camera app will not start in this menu.
Also BT is started as "visible" - good if you want to receive something quickly from an unpaired phone, but not good if you want to start it for longer time such as using BT HF and be visible for all.
Pretty good. I like it, but i can't find any options....I can't find the folder it was installed to either lol.
Is there eny way to use another button for this?
Tks
ok some answers here.
its installed in windows dir because some files require that.
you can change the application launched in regestry, will post reg file later, as im typing on my x1 at the moment.
i will look into bluetooth, if there is some commandline i can use with the bt app, otherwise you can point the regfile to start the application caalled btswitcher.cab (search for it) in that you can choose not visable.
you can make a shortcut to action screen,place it in program, and use ae button plus to allocate another button to it.
regarding the camera its made for my swe rom, so you must change it in the reg file.
you will find all the button in regestry here

The app works flawlessly thank you. I got 2 questions:
1 - Can i change the time-out time. Can it stay longer after i press the button.
2 - Can i change the buttons. Assigning programs to them, for example?
Editted the camera path to CameraRunner.exe to work on my x1a.
This is a very cool app which i think i will use for long.

sorry, time out can not be changed. The button graphics you can edit if you know how, the program launched when you press a button can easy be changed in regestry as descibed above.
Installed to my storage card at first but didn't work. Then tried again, but this time installing to device and it was ok. So it's gotta be installed to device?
WOW ..just.. wow dude....seriously. The more i use it the more i'm impressed. I can't believe i used my Xperia for so long without it . It ahs a problem with landscape mode though...can this be fixed, or is it something in my phone?

This cab, will let you choose first time you run it, after that it only starts up bluetooth, with the choice you made the first time.
And by the way no landscape support!
how about making this a penal?
great job though.
hey random idea, how cool will it be if you could bring up the "action screen penal" and some how activate an animation to spin the coloms around and have the ability to add contacts or apps? like the toshiba TG01 only simple.

Yeah, thank you very much.
I really missed a working actionscreen on the TP2.
Due to the new Bluetooth driver the one for the Xperia wasn't working anymore.
You made me as happy as with your ROMs back then
sorry, but can you tell me what is it and what does it do?
(sorry for my english)
Have a look at the screenshot. It's an action screen that allows you to select certain actions like new SMS, appointment, task etc.
Works nice! Good to see my BT is working with this version.
Gonna make some changes myself:
- Left softkey to ActionScreen
- No conformation for soft reset
Attached the left softkey for who's interested.
Works fine!
Especially the one-click Wifi switch is very clever.
The only thing is the problem of hitting the powerbutton while typing in landscape mode.
It will launch this app while you're chatting, very annoying.

Hello,
This tips is good if you do not use the TF3D ... otherwise it is replaced by the one from the TF3D ...
Do you know where to modify it in the TF3D ?
Thanks.
Personally I am trying to avoid pushing any buttons, I'd rather have an option on the screen like a shortcut in the Start Menu or something.
Would that be possible?
Hello,
In the start menu, it is a shortcut. Not so difficult. After installing the cab above, you will go to "\Windows" folder and you search for "HTCActionScreen.exe" then you make a copy and after you go to the "Start Menu" folder and "Progams" folder and you make a "Paste shortcut".
And this is done.

I think that's the point, if he's anything like me, everytime I type in landscape mode, I accidentally end up holding the power button for 3 seconds with the side of my finger, I'm forever turning of the phone .
Nice app though, just going to put it on.
For those that don't want to confirm the Soft Reset action:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_10]
"Param"="/s"
Attatched the REG file for those that want to import the file to the registry.
Don't forget to make a soft reset afterwards
This is awesome! I would love to have this app. Is there any way to make the icons a bit more colorful? Thanks so much!
hi! congratulations GREAT app.
is there anyway to change the icon (add + contacts) to one (close screen) without suspend the device. it is very useful to who wants to ear music from the speaker phone. cause when you turn of the device the music stops.
tnx in advance
Excellent! Thanks for thinking about us poor TP2 users!
Very interesting appl.
Does someone test it with touch pro stock rom ?(I have the italian one).
Thanks
Smaberg rocks
Welcome to TP2...I have been an avid follower of yours on Xperia forum...great to see you got a TP2.
Look forward to your inputs in making our TP2 way better than the great device it already is!!!
Hmm after installing i tried the application but it doet not work properly.
When i push the I/O button of my TP2 the screen becomes totally black... but when i touch a button (that i dont see) the rolloverbutton appears in green.
What can i do to make it work normally?

Hi smaberg,
i have alittle problem. Possible you can help me.
I have the last version of bmp2brn. I save my picture
in 16 bit bmp in mirror. So far so good.
But what i have is this. What goes wrong
EDIT:
i have found the solution here on xda after seraching deeeeeeep.
BrConvert is the right tool!
If you, like me, use your Topaz for frequent music playing, and find the default volume control (the large full screen version) very irritating, there is a way to enable the slim version of the control which appears for wmp for any program you want.
The slim version only works using the volume keys, you can't touch it, but it offers at least 15 steps and doesn't interrupt the music. This "hack" has finally made the Topaz a viable music player for me

Using a registry editor (I use Total Commander), navigate to HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\3rdPartyAPClass and you will see a list of apps which use the slimvolume control. You have to add keys (new folders in Total Commander) for all the apps you want to add.
Under these keys you have to create a String value containing the Window Classname of the app. You can get these names using a program like FdcSoft Task Manager v3.1. I've listed a few of the common ones below to save you the time.
Create a Key: "Nitrogen"
Create a String Value called “ClassName” with value "CNtgWndMain"
Create a key: "CorePlayer"
Create a string value called "ClassName" with value "wCorePlayer"
Create a key: "Opera"
Create a string value called "ClassName" with value "Opera_MainWndClass"
And so on. Take care to get caps and lower case correct, and don't include ""s. If you get the window class names wrong, don't worry, it just won't work till you get it right.
The settings take effect immediately, no need to restart.
PS: If you're not confident editing the registry, best not to do it. If you do, take great care, don't accidentally delete any keys!
And is it possible to add a key for the touch-flo music app?
Wow thanks for that, is alot nicer now .
I use my topaz as my mp3 player everday, had my first journey using it today with wm6.5 and it was a nightmare. Couldn't use coreplayer unless i held the phone in my hand, otherwise if i put it in my pocket it would just press random keys. Going into suspend mode by pressing power key just stops playback so i had to use the default htc music player which i really dont like. How do u put it in ur pocket with coreplayer if u cant press the suspend key?
Also the volume button doesnt seem to work in suspend mode like it used to either which is really annoying when im sitting on the train as i have to take it out of pocket everytime to change the volume.
For me so far as an mp3 player its not as good as it seems to have a few little problems

I don't know the answer. I'm afraid I only lived with wm6.5 for one day before rushing back to 6.1, there were just too many minor issues for me to live with.
Can't you lock the phone using the long press function on the "End" key?

I wasn't aware the volume keys worked in suspend mode anyway, but I could be mistaken. They work in "screen off" mode (you can do that through Coreplayer's menu "Menu - Options - Blank Screen". This might be all you need to do when putting it in your pocket, because it stops random screen taps I think.
find wkTask (haven't got the link - google it)
It's a little app that places itself in the topright corner over the X (replaces the X with it's own X)
It has the option to turn of the backlight
It is also possible to make a shortcut to wkTask w. commandline parameters - so that you can make a shortcut that turns off your light.
It also recognizes vertical and horizontal swipes from the X (swipe right or swipe down from the X) - these swipes can be assigned to different actions. In your case you could set it up to turn off the backlight on a swipe
wkTask sounds a nice app. It might be good to disable HTC's own task manager if you use it to avoid too many apps running unneccessarily, you can do this in the registry.
Thanks again Pete_S . Also that program sounds very useful acebone, thanks
