Hi,
Im trying to play a game on my phone, which requires me to push "Yes" or "No" to "Do you want sound?".
You have to actually push the hardware left or right nav key button to proceed, which the Topaz/Td2 does not have.
So i thought simple, go into the Buttons configuration settings, and set "Call (hold)" as left soft key, and "Hangup (Long hold)" as right soft key... but this doesnt work.
Anyone have an idea of how i can mimic the nav buttons?
Cheers,
Blake
There is a program called "TopazKbdControl_GSM" that allows mapping of all your hardware keys, even Volume keys, Home, and back. It is actually pretty slick, allowing you to map Volume keys as Up and Down with a single press... and VolUp-VolDown on a hold.
Same with the bottom buttons.

Thanks!
That program is exactly what i wanted.
Unfortunately it doesn't let me get pass the screen in the game :S
Its Line Rider 1.0.5 if everyone knows how to get it working.

I know you can map the start manu to any of the hard buttons but I would like to map it to one of the soft buttons under the screen.
I know how to map the soft buttons to any application but I'm not sure how the start menu is called.
In the "Buttons" setting at "2. Assign a program:" you have to scroll up the list to the entries in "<...>". Those are the various assignable system features. One of it is "<Start Menu>".
For instance I assigned "<Start Menu>" to the Voice Dialer button and
"<OK/Close>" to the Internet Explorer button - very handy....
I want to assign it to one of the soft keys, not one of the keys you can map in "buttos"
Hi everybody,
I made almost the same.
the pitty of this way, it's the hard it becomes to navigate with one hand.
The thing I try to changes is when I use the phone, to set up the arrow key to access to the "Call History" or the "Speed Dial numbers" like with the Blue Angel (QTEK9090).
Does somebody know how to do it?
I tried AEBPlus, which is a freeware app that allows you to map your harware buttons to up to launch up to 3 different apps each (one click for first app, 2 clicks for second, 3 clicks for third). BUT... its not yet designed for the Wizard, so it does not recognize the soft key buttons yet. It also does not recognize the Comms Button...
So when I installed, I mapped IE button to 1 click = "OK" and 2 clicks "IE" and the Messaging button as 1 click = "start" and 2 clicks = "Messaging"
For some reason it remapped my "Comms Button" to "IE" and as I cant see that button any more in "settings/buttons" I cannot change it back :shock: But I have "Comms" set up as one of my "Start menu" items, so I can get to it via the button I mapped to the start menu.
I e-mailed the designer to see if he plans to update it for the Wizard. The wizard is included on his compatibility matrix, so he may be planning to. If he does that and includes the "soft key buttons" and the "comms button" we would be set.
Perhaps anyone else thats interested could e-mail him too and see if he will update it for a "donation" from each of us..? Its Alexander at : [email protected]

try this....
Just load Smartskey. It gives you a lot of secondary functions for soft keys and buttons. I really like it because it has default settings to open the start menu on a long press of the left softkey button, and to do an ok/close on a long press of the right softkey button. It can also manage OMAPClock overclocking functions, if you drop a copy of that app in the same folder as Smartskey.
Is there a way to easily adjust the volume using the wheel? Or do we have to get the stylus out :?
Cheers
Just tried SPB pocket plus but it doesnt have a volume indicator, just a control which doesnt show what the volume is set to!
any clues?
What is it that you want to do?
If you move the jogwheel during a call, you can change the voulme of the speaker...
OK, But do you know how to adjust the volume when not in a call without tapping the screen? is there a way to do this please?
probably clumsier than tapping the screen, but if you have both Spb Pocket Plus and MS VoiceCommand, you can issue commands for Volume Up, Volume Down, Volume Loop, and Mute.
You can also tapp on the Comm Manager button and toggle the between (preset volume), (vibrate), and (silent).
Is there a good screen tap recorder which works with the tytn?
I tried Vitobuttonmapper which does this but it messed up all my other button assignments! I just want to be able to assign the voicedialler press and hold function to bring up the volume bubble!
Anyone found a prog which will turn a screen tap into an .exe which will be assignable to a button?
Vijay?
Anyone??????
with aebutton plus 2.4.3 beta (its now in 2.4.4 beta), if you remap the "ok" buttons after adding it, you can select it in such a way (under "\options\restore volume slider\" select "if today is active").
Now in the today screen, when you press the ok button, the volume slider will be activated. You can then use he left right up/down keys to select the volume of choice.
However, upon capturing the ok button, i have to map the ok button to close active apps when pressed twice. Pressing it once, regardless of the program in the foreground yields nothing.
To minimize, i have the use the red phone button.
I use the following mortscript:
Code:
MouseClick 160,0
Sleep 100
MouseClick 160,200
In portrait QVGA.
There's a neater way with VJKeyPress as well, but I can't remember the settings right now
If necessary it'll be easy to turn this into a seperate app.

That would be v. nice! would it be possible to make it landscape aware too?

I want to assign more hardware buttons to start apps and perform functions such as 'start' and 'ok' without losing the default set of buttons.
So I want all the buttons you get as default on my xda mini s plus I want to be able select the 'start' button and 'ok' from hardware buttons - like you can when the sliding keyboard is open.
I also want to hardware start tasks, notes etc.
I don't want to use smartskey as doesn't this change the volume slider to page-up/page-down?
There seems to be a couple of apps out there that can enable this e.g. vito button mapper though was wondering if anyone could recommend something inc freeware if poss.
Cheers.
You can edit the smartskey.ini to disable the volume slider and just use the press and hold features of the softkeys. I can't understand why you would want to though. By default smartskey allows the volume slider to function as a volume control in the phone app and in the today screen.
ah ha - I didn't know that.
smart key it is for me then, thanks very much.
Smartskey is the best app on my wizard. You will love it and wonder how you managed without it within the day.
Thanks go to Water, the author.
The lack of hardware keys (without the keyboard attatched) on the x7501 was my biggest reservation while deciding to buy it. Now I'm having trouble with AEBPlus and HButton (would be perfect if I could use AEBPlus & assgn Hbuttons to the Long Press mode, but it doesn't work). I can't seem to get the flexibilty in button assignments like I had wiith my wizard, I think because a lot of the long keypresses are OS assigned and not UI available.
I don't want to start reg hacking in my random ways if someone has more experience, or better software ideas, and would be willing to share it.
(I keep my unit in the case without the buttons locked when it's in standby, so if I hit a hdwe key, I only have to do that once to get a specific Mortbutton menu up. 2 gestures to anything is my goal. Hbutton often can allow only 1, but I only get 2 keys out of it CommMgr/Record & Camera, my "IE" button longpress seems to be commandeered by VueFlo (cute but pretty useless). If I use that the AEBPlus doesn't seem to work on the other keys.)
UPDATE: I reinstalled AEBPlus, this time with the PC/Activesync installer instead of the cab. The cab installation I did didn't seem to change things. In any case, AEBPlus is working now.
Thanks!

AEButton will generally do long presses, double presses, and triple presses... if they are available. As you mention, this seems to be a hardware problem. Example, the "e" (internet) button uses the long press to activate/deactivate the motion sensor within your browser.
As a former Wizard owner, I know where you are coming from. Remapping the "e", "record", and "Win" buttons has given me about 9 quick launches, one of which is WkTask which gives another 12 on a pop-up panel--not to mention showing all open windows on the top bar. Also, the big screen makes iLauncher usable. And I still use good-ole SmallMenu. So I'm doing OK with opening things quickly. But I do miss having all those button launches from the Wizard.
Doing better
HButton and AEBPlus don't play well together at all.
I'm on AEBPlus, post flash, and don't get any long-presses, but I have 3 possiblilities on each of the buttons. Along with MortButtons and actually using the CommMgr instead of hdwe keys, I seem to be getting along well enough.
I had the basic edit commands (select all, copy, cut, paste) assigned to a key in AEBPlus, and turn on/off BT and WiFi. That's what I miss. I use MortButtons for it now, so it's a two-step process, but it works.
The problem with "long keypress'es" for many buttons like Ok/Win/VueFlo etc) is caused by keyboard driver implementation and may not be resolved on application level. The button driver returns both "key was pressed" and "keys was released" events simultaneously, right after button was phisically released. So application could not define time period button was in pressed state to decide if it was long or short keypress...
As for BPlus configuration for my Athena (I have no keyboard at al and use bplus only):
* Button 2 (40C2): (IE button)
1: Call default handler
2: "Messaging"
3: "Notes"
* Button 3 (40C3): (wireless manager)
1: Rotate Screen
2: Show Actions Menu
3: Switch Flashlight Off/On
* OK key (4075):
1: Press Green Button
2: "Contacts"
3: "Calendar"
* Windows key (405B):
1: "Notes"
2: "File Explorer"
3: Show Actions Menu
* Enter/Action (000D):
1: Call default handler
Long: Task Manager
* Volume Up (0075):
Change volume or...
1: Volume Up
2: Backlight Up
Long: Backlight Level 10
* Volume Down (0076):
Change volume or...
1: Volume Down
2: Backlight Down
Long: Backlight Level 1
Action menu items:
Rotate Screen
Switch BlueTooth off/on
Switch WiFi Off/On
Trigger Online
Disable "Power off if not used"...

P.S.: I reviewed this forum very occasionaly so you'd better to ask me via e-mail if any
AE, love the program but have one problem. The "ok/close" function is never "close", just always "ok".
The only way that I know of to map the OK button to really be "ok/close" is to configure an hbutton key to be "ok/close" and then use AEbplus to make that hbutton.lnk to the OK key. It's a bit convoluted and requires both programs being loaded and running (hbutton uses more memory than aebplus), but it's the only way to make it work.
Any way to fix the "ok/close" function in AEbplus? Even when there is an "X" in the upper right corner, AEbplus only minimizes the app, never closes.
Has anyone tried remapping or assigning the keyboard buttons to launch applications?

Is it possible to get the Half-Press-Function of the Camera-Button assigned for normal working(windows-mode, not camera-mode)??

hi i want to assing the back button "<--" on the bottom with the OK button. i dont need the back functionality, what i want is to avoid trouble hitting OK on the top every time. someone suggested me AEbutton, that solved my problem assigning the volume button for up down navigation, but i want to assing back button to act as OK.
pl. help
Well, I've got good news. The Back button IS OK. Try it in a Settings dialog, pressing Back *will* save your changes.
You can assign actions to OK with AEBPlus.
This surprised the hell out of me - I only realized this after owning my HD for a month.
It also means that there is no PPC/HD equivalent to the Back button on smartphone devices. I had a Vox before, and was used to the Back button meaning "cancel".
JUst to add a little to that.
Is it possible in any way to disable the volume keys?
I cant stop pressing them by mistake

AE Button plus
then just remap them so they dont work as volume keys on a single press ( i use the long press to make them go up and down, but in rreality i use the slider to actually move change volume so i dont need to even map them to the volume at all)
Ehm.... what is the slider? I read about that also in TouchLockPro and I couldn't realize what it was.
