does any one know how to map mobipockets autoscroll feature to a hardware key?i tried using aebutton but it doesnt work.i was thinking maybe if someone knew the command line parameters for autoscroll maybe it could be done.

Hi,
Has anyone had any luck with writing Midlets for the XDA2? I'm trying to write one use the camera as a webcam (Yes, I know, a bit ambitious for my secomd midlet!)
I'm using this line:
Code:
Player vPlayer = Manager.createPlayer("capture://video");
I get a MediaException, meaning '...a Player cannot be created for the given locator.' (quoted from MMAPI JavaDoc).
Also, calling the Manager.getSupportedProtocols() method for 'mpeg/video' returns an empty list, as does calling Manager.getSupportedContentTypes() for 'capture://video'.
Has anyone else managed to access the XDA2 camera from a Midlet? If so, what is the trick?!!
cheers
Paul
I don't think anybody's managed to get access to it from native eVC++ let alone midlets, and IA style aren't revealing anything about how their app does it, so I wouldn't hold your breath for a solution... Bloody closed APIs.
Knackers!! :evil:
Cheers anyway! I'll keep poking and see what happens....
Paul
i suspect that their applications take pretty much control direct without using the winCE api
because when i start the cam my clock which it still display stop being 24h and turn to the AM/PM confusement
My new O2 Exec came with this built-in Voice Speed Dial software (Cyberon Voice Speed Dial). It's a ****ty program and I prefer my own MS Voice Command program instead. However that internal prg takes over when I press on my BT headset button which drives me nuts.
A) This builtin prg probably takes up precious space, how can I safely remove it to free up more space from my device?
B) How can I set the MS Voice Command prg to take over the BT headset instead of that builtin ****ty program?
Thanks!!
Mobiler: this issue has been discussed in quite a few places elsewhere. What search string have you tried?
Have a look here for a cab that will sort this out for you:

Thanks vijay!!
I actually did try to search for the string "Voice Speed Dial" or "Cyberon" but couldn't find it.. lol too many messages around here ;-)
Now I figured that out using the Registry hack... though I wasn't able to remove the program itself, just change the BT to act to the MS Voice Command.. Yet, when the phone is off, the BT button doesn't turn on the voice command, which kind of defeats the purpose of 'hands free'.. (if I have to first poweron the exec and only then click on the BT button..
I haven't checked your BT patch just yet, but I think maybe this may solve the issue?
Thanks!
BTW: Using your FullScreenTS and that's by itself is worth donating! I'll be visiting your site soon when my paypal budget refills
Great stuff. Are you using the newer version of VJFullscreenTSC, posted in my forums? It gets rid of a bug that didn't allow you to access the bottom of the screen. It'll be further updated, eventually!

You deserve a nice TIP just for that program my friend. 14k of wonder.. ... Probably the most useful program for me ;-)
I have version 0.46(beta). I did get that half blank screen once though.. the only I wish for is for it to run the TS automatically without clicking on the top left little blue bar.. That is.. if I execute it, I then have to go to that bar, click on it and then press on the Fullscreen TSC menu option and only then it automatically executes the TS client... Also.. it doesn't save my settings of always hiding the softkeyboard icon at the bottom... Still these are just minor issues
I'll tip ya soon VJ...

I want to find some things in the registry and perhaps run a clone of the device itself on the PC so that I can test some things out. I understand there is a way to emulate a device on the PC. Is that correct? How?
Also, I need a way to export the MDA registry so that it can be opened and searched within Windows XP. Is this possible?
Things I want to find initially in the MDA in the registry.
mapping for the green phone key among other keys
backlight for phone keys and keyboard keys.
Use a good registry editor or Visual Studio.
I use Kilmist. I understand Total Commander is good.
Export registry in standard PC format and then copy to pc, browse in notepad. Just DON'T import it by accident onto pc.
You can't just copy a registry into the emulator - they are based on different hardware designs. Most stuff will work, some is likely to screw up emulator. No permanent damage, but bare it in mind.
What device are you looking for these keys on?
I can tell you that the settings for backlight for green and red key and keyboard backlight aren't settled in the registry. Some settings there, but not all.. at least AFAIK.

IC... No wonder nobody had found a way to map them. However there is software that maps hardware keys for other devices. If not settled in the registry then where/what/how is the software changing them?
Hi all, where can I found a full descriptions of every single registry key & function/purpose of those key. Now I become interested to play with this setting. I know that are VERY DANGEROUS thing. Appreciate for help

And it's frowned upon by T-Mobile. Watch out for the phone police .
Now now, lets not scare any one.
Playing with registry on windows mobile device is only dangerous if you care about whats on that device and don't want to hard reset. Otherwise you can go ahead an experiment as hard reset will restore original reg settings.
Oh and as for the phone police, well they don't carry real guns do they?
But seriously there is no list of every reg key. Registry is a general settings database for the whole windows mobile OS and the apps on it. It was designed to replace a hoard of ini files.
Documentation of relevant settings is usually attached to documentation of what ever they control (if there is any such documentation) and since any app can write to the registry there may be settings no one ever documented (there certainly are undocumented settings for the system it self like NeverDorkMemory).
Guys, you should know what you're doing when playing with the registry. But it's always best to make a backup. You'll find it hard to irrepairably damage your phone (which is always fixable by a hardreset or rom flash) in the registy, but a backup is safer.
zaidam - seriously man, what do you think we do here? If microsoft gave us a list of every registy setting, a lot of guys would be out of a job, it'd be too easy! If you're brave enough, experiment with the registry and discover a new hack. If not, just browse around and see what's possible through the registry hacks.
trpenner - you answered your own question with a different answer. The keyboard can be remapped, quite easily. Some of it can be done though the registy, some requires apps like AE Button Plus. AEBP doesn't use the registy (I presume) because it requires a lower level of programming not exposed by the registry.
However, the red and green key are not mappable (AFAIK) through the registry alone.

It's the red/green keys I am after. Maybe one day we someone smarter than I will be willing to take up the challenge.
As I said, they can certainly be reassigned through code, fairly easily, but not through the registry alone I believe.

Red and green buttons are mappable using the third party softs like AE button Plus. I am using it and I have mapped the red button to close (not minimise) the running application when pressed twice. You can also try...

AE button plus.... THAT's hopefully what I was looking for. I'll check it out. Thank you SO much! What's the best checkbook app?
Okay, I'm going to assume that I'm not the only person to try this. I would like to run WeatherPanel in conjunction with Touchflo2d. Not necessarily INSIDE TouchFlo, I know thats impossible (as of now, or ever, lol). But I've been trying different ways to have both plugins running in tandem.
Ultimate Launch does not work. At first, I thought that it was was the a screen issue, maybe the dynamic plugin sizing from UL was not compatible, and if I just changed it to the max static size and deleted the UL tabs from view, that maybe it would do the trick. Wrong. Using TF2d as a tab under UL will cause UL to close instantly.
Next up, FtouchSL, maybe I can just assign a gesture to Ftouch and open close weatherpanel from there. However (why I never bothered to check this before embarasses me), there is no exe or lnk to speak of the FtouchSL directory. AFAIK, you cant assign a dll or other random file to use in that program.
My next try is Mortscript, but I don't know a thing about it really. Luckily, the rom I'm using now (SJ's HyperDragon III) has mortscript installed, but I still need to work on a shortcut. I have done plenty of searches, and have not come up with anything in this realm.
While I know that it isnt possible for these two plugins to share screen space, I was trying to find out if there is a way to enable/close a today plugin via Mortscript or any other means - AND be launchable from another today plugin, namely the programs tab of TouchFlo2d.
I will continue working on this, and I would appreciate any input from experienced (read - mature) people with reasonable insight or advice.
Thanks,
Colin
*edit* Hell, even if I could make a simple .exe to launch is as a program instead of a plugin. has this ever been approached before?
http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm#SecondToday
Wow. Even better than I thought, using this I just mapped Second Today to my PTT button. Thanks so much.
Also the other thing that I kinda stumbled into, was that for those of you running Dynamo, used in conjunction with SecondToday, you will always have the 2 screens to select from. Just an FYI.
i know that similiar questions like this has already been posted over a couple of hundred times in this forum. but, as said, only similiar.
what i desperately need, as i am creating my own skin including taskbar with homescreenplus, is a small and neat tool to be launched from "command line" which closes (not minimzes) the current application.
progs like vjokbutton or "registrysetstring ::3" do not work at all or working buggy on the diamond.
furthermore, i do not know if button remapping tools like hbutton or ae button plus can be launched from command line. but i guess that would be more a sort of overkill for my need.
does anybody know of a small tool which is closing apps from command line reliably on a DIAMOND?
thanks for assistance
Have you tried MortScript?
http://www.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29
yes, thought about it. but would be sort of overkill just to use it for
close()
any other idea?
there are so many command line tools out there for toggling sound, wifi, bt, gprs, etc, etc.
was hoping that one of them would be able to close apps.
thanks
