Fixed: Manila2 Right Hardware-Key Bug - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Usually and unfortunately, Manila2 always remaps the right hardware key to the today screen - which can be really annoying...
Last night I patched the responsible dll. Feel free to use it in your own ROMs - should work for all languages of Manila2.
For those who don't cook own ROMs: just copy it in your \windows directory.
Thanks to Hammamed/YYYYY for the tip that the dll must be signed
File has been tested on xperia x1i.

Please, check link, it does not work.
EDIT: Sorry, after some attempts, it did work.
Thank you!
EDIT2: I tried it with Manila3 to see if it work too, but it does not fix it...

Which one is the right hardware key? The "end call" button?

Yes, the end call key.
(Manila3 has the above bug, too)

Ok, on my xperia the right hardware key is the silver one below the display.
Jolas: if you like send me the manila3 files, I might have a look at it.

works for me - on the X1

I don't know which files do you need, so I upload only the "ManilaToday.dll"

Could you try out the attached file, please?

Unfortunately, it didn't work

I think it was a misunderstanding. The end call Button on X1 and Touch HD are both mapped to the homescreen. The Touch HD doesn't have the "right hardware key" at all

Sorry, I though that the 'end call' key which is the right hardware key on HD, is the same as on X1.
Thanks for the time to spend to help me.

No Problem - at least, we now already have a fix for your manila version on other devices

Thank you soooooo much for this fix
Working perfectly on xperia x1 with manila 3.
Right key's function can be mapped and isn't resetted to manila's Today screen after every softreset, a lifesaver.

Manila3_Fix_TouchHD.zip file works great on xperia, Timurs win 6.5 manilla rom.
Thanks! This was getting extremely annoying!

HTC Mapping recent calls to a Soft Key??

I have the Softkey program already.... and I am guessing that the recent calls are part of the phone program and that there probably isn't a separate exe for it... but if anyone knows how to pull up the call list I would really appreciate it. Everyone ignores me on here and I know it's the cool thing to do but you could be an awesome trend setter by throwing me a bone!
=)
Try this. It's work for me.
Thanks dude... really appreciate it... trying to figure out how to make it show up as an option in Softkey... tried putting it in program files, didn't work... so now trying the Windows dir.
Nevermind, used a diff. soft key app that allows you to choose program path... works like a charm, I am in your debt!

- Download the CallHistory.zip from Post number two
- Extraxt the CallHistory.exe anywhere to your pda (memory or storagecard)
- Now search for Remap Softkeys on google and install the cab file on your pda
- When installed open it and change the path of the left softkey with the CallHistory.exe
I tried 5 different callhistory.exe and this is the first one that actually brought up the history and not the dialer. Thanks!

Map Long Press of Send and End key?

I have a Sprint Touch and it only has one hardware button that is customizable. I was hoping with HButton I would be able to map the Send and End key if I pressed and held these buttons to do different tasks.
Is this possible with this program? If not, is there a way to do it?
I think you might be in luck....
Ten minutes ago, I wouldn't have been able to answer this question, but having just read this post, I can safely say that this is the way to do it!!!
Hope it works for you

I already have the HTC End Key App installed by default but it only has a few options. I don't see where you can edit the button to open a application.

Actually the "Bible" also mentions AE Button Plus. This will allow mapping of almost any key including a long/short press for both the send & end keys.
It's a retail proggy, don't remember the cost, but I have a fairly new Beta version if you want to give it a go & test it . PM me for details if you wish.
This is for a different phone and you may not have the same files/configs, but hell, might be worth a try.

[REQ] Power off - Standby - Soft reset with small app.

Hi all,
I do not believe that! There are hundred's of applications of all types and for all uses which all good users of xda create continuosly, but there is no one capable to create a program like "psshutxp" where there is a button "power off" that really works!
I do not understand why who created psshutxp are not capable to solve this bug, which is commonly present in other phones.
I think that it would be very usefull and not so complicated to realize, for who is capable to program, to create a working program on the dimond; if possible it would be useful to associate a soft key to quickly open it, and close (or reset, or stand by) the phone.
What do you think is this possible ?
Thank you.
theres no such software to power off device..
u still have to hold power button to do that
the power off in the shutxp is simply put the device in standby mode to save power but that will kill some process for example music player wont play song if u dont use headset
so there is another option to just put the screen off
thats it
haha..what a bad english..sorry

Thank you very much Nvidia, finally i have found what i searched for many weeks! This is great, an unknown french guy (thank you cca) have made the "perfect shutdown": similar to psshutxp, but with power off working, more lightweight, without the dangerous hard reset button (also without timer, but i don't need it). It as the possibility to set the function of hard power button.
It is only in french language at the moment (we know, french are patriotic ), but i have edited the png icons of the skin to erase french text, and edited the xml file to change the language of setting menu.
Great work cca and thank you again Nvidia.
giovag7
Please do upload the edited png and xml file so that i can actually understand what buttons i am clicking
Here you go: buttons and Settings page translated to English.
Just replace the corresponding files in the TouchOff program folder.

Thank you clue, my translation was in italian.
To be honest this app is "almost" perfect because it has only a little-big problem: when open it has a little delay (about 2 - 2,5 sec) that is slightly annoying. I hope the autor can solve it (i write him a mail).

touchlockpro has an actionscreen with the things you ask for
Is there a standalone CAB for only the TouchLockAction utility? I read through that entire thread and can't find one.

Normally it works in combination with TouchLockPro, but indeed it can be used standalone for row 2.
You can install TouchLockPro, copy Windows\TouchLockAction.exe to another place and deinstall TouchLockPro. Then you have your copy
So it's just a standalone .exe that requires no supporting files or "installation" per se? Cool!
Thanks

Microphone accessory - button for Voice Command

If you push the button on the microphone which comes with the X1, it answers a call. If you push it twice it seems to call the last person you called.
Is there a way to use this button to invoke the Voice Command monitor?
Thanks
I found it easier just to re-direct the Soft Buttons!!
Left for Voice Command, Right for Comm Manager
Stuart
Yep, that's exactly what I have. Best set-up by far.
But when in the car, it would be easier to use the mic button, so I'd like to double up on Voice Command access.
So.. no-one else has managed this either?

Take a look at here:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand]
"Path"="\\Windows\\<what ever program>.exe"
"VoiceCmdEnable"=dword:0
"LaunchAPEnable"=dword:1
"VoiceCmdDuration"=dword:a
I am going to include Cyberon VC 2.0 in my rom but it will be Cantonese since it's my native language.
So, to recap the request was for a way to use the Microphone button as the Voice Command button...

What is this goint to change? I searched the registry for a way to use th mic-headset-button as a remote for my X1...which means to map a button, application, etc to it. Is this the way to do so?

Beside the "push once', and "double push", a "push & hold" action will call this exe such as Voice commander in my example.

But this doesn't have anything to do with the microphone button.
Do you read? Of course it does if you are talking about the button in the pic
If you "hold" the button, yr X1 will call the exe program specified in this registry. X1 stock rom does not comes w/ any VC program and you have to install one yrself. Of course, if you put in other program like Core player, it will be start if you hold the button.

pearls before swine mate....
there are some new members on here lately who need to learn that when a more ePerienced member gives them advice they arent doing it because they like the sound of their own voice
at45 theres a good reason why people keep saying read and search, and quite a lot of it is to do with the attitude you've shown here.here.
Thanks guys!!!
I've been looking for this for quite a while. Really Thanks! Now just need to try to map this button as next rack in Mortplayer...If i found the way, I'll post it here!
Wait, I'm being criticised for being rude and not searching?

Firstly, where have I been rude? Secondly, this has nothing to do with searching. I would challenge you to find a single thread on this subject anywhere else on the whole internet, started before this one. If you're going to criticise at least make some of the criticism partially relevant.
Jackleung, thanks for the solution, but in response to your manner, if you post an arbitrary reg key (a key which has no logical connection to the described solution) and which doesn't work if the instructions are followed (due to the wrong syntax), you should expect for that solution to be met with scepticism.
Coming bach to the original topic:
I wrote a script (thanks, Mort!) that enebles the tap&hold (2-3sec) of the Microphone Button to jump to the next track in Mortplayer (if it is running).
Just copy the two files attached to the \Windows\ directory and change the Registry entry as descibed in Post #5 to
Registry said:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path = "\Windows\MP-NT.exe"

Thats it. Run Mortplayer and give it a try, works perfect for me!
Edit: script is working!

Hey, thanks a lot!
It seems I will install MortPlayer on my X1. Or is there a possibility to do the same with the media panel?

Can you tell me where in the settings you change soft buttons. Is it Settings/Buttons? I am not sure what the 6 buttons represent. I have searched for an explanation but haven't found one.

There are two different ways for the X1, to remap the soft keys. One is via the button settings in the windows settings, which is a global override which causes the buttons not to behave as softkeys anymore, and the other is via registry setting (have a look into the Wiki here), that maps specific applications to the softkeys while in today view - this way, the softkeys stay available in all other applications. I personally prefer the last approuch, because I don't like fingerprints on my screen.

oops, corrected now I got a cab, thanks to AlejandroFefe of ppc-welt.info!
No, this only works with mortplayer as you need the possibility to change the track via an exe file or at least an exe with a parameter (like in my script)...If you find a way to do this with the media panel (which i doubt you will ) we could have it...otherwise not.

This one would be nice as well
i've been following the development for a while, is there a link?
*edit* nevermind, spoke too soon! THANKS!
*second edit* just thought i'd point a few things out now that i've tried it (on my AT&T Fuze)
the audio seems a bit sluggish, and pressing the back key cycles through the previous "unloaded, loaded, half cocked" screens. it appears to cycle through every screen since the app was loaded. the only way i've figured out how to exit is by pressing it until the menu is back up.
Please make it compitable with the Omnia aswell.

How? It doesn't on mine. I see graphics (VGA only), but no sound, no sensor trigger, no nothing. I can simply charge and discharge the shotgun with gestures (no sound), and that's all. Also instructions button doesn't work.
EDIT: You have hardcoded "Program Files" inside app, that's why. I have a localized rom, so no "program files". Anyway, also creating the right folder, still no sensor trigger, only gestures. No animations. It's almost worst than the others virtual shotguns floating around. A big disappointment. Uninstalled.
Thanks for the app but not working great on my Diamond.
The 'instructions' button does not seem to work and I can't really tell if the g-sensor is doing anything. It also generates an ever-increasing number of entires in the task list when it is used.
Uninstall seems to work well. Look forward to seeing later versions.
I will fix the many forms problem now and update it....
also... the instructions have not yet been made... they are coming soon...
so please tell me... is the g sensor working on the diamond?

strange how there is no sound.... is your volume up????????????????????????????????????????????
check your program files folder.....

yeah, there is no sound file in the cab, i use version V2 on mij diamond, can you make this app better for the diamond ?
in my Diamond, it do have a sound.. i'm currently using uDK's 6.5 rom..
waiting for version 3 with the fix for sensitivity issue and animation..
It doesn't work on my Diamond either... No sounds, no G-sensor, no animations...
I really appreciate the time you spend in developing this application!
