Has anyone figured out how to remap the volume slider on the Wizard?
I hardly ever want to change volume, just turn on/off vibrate mode which is a single keypress anyway, but i would really like it to be an up/down control like my old Dell Axim.
I know it functions like this in IE full screen mode, but I really want it for everything (especially MS Reader).
I think a lot of people would like this. It allows a better grip on the phone whilst moving within the app you're using (eg: MS Reader).
Any guru's got an idea about this one?

Remapping
Absolutely neccessary thing to fix (volume slider)!
And as using double-language hard-keyboard layout I am in desperate need to remap the change-layout sequence.
What about remapping in this OS, is it possible to do something?
Someone did this on the Magician (found it in that group on here at the time), I remember finding it very useful!
If someone could do a Wizard version that would be great!
Solution Found
Here is how you do it (and it was on the Magician forums, thx for the tip :wink: ):
Install the program found at the URL below, or from the attachment as you wish.
When you get the setup screen, choose "Do not handle" for all except the volume slider, which is set to up/down.
Ok it, and there you go, slider is now up/down and works in MS Reader, Today screen, and general folder browsing.
It says on the site not to put it on any device not listed as compatible, which doesn't include the Wizard, but "He who dares, wins..."
I am well chuffed with it. Now I am all ready for my commute on Monday.

Unless this is a new version. DO NOT USE AEB+ WITH A WIZARD
I tried AEbuttons plus awhile ago and It deleted a couple of my buttons. I dont think it is meant for a device with as many buttons as the wizard. I had to go in and manually create the buttons again. I told it to handle all buttons though. Maybe telling it to only handle the volume slider doesn't cause this problem. I won't try it again until they actually say the wizard is compatible.
I just checked all buttons having read your post.
The only casualty is the connection manager button, which now only switches from audio vol. on to vibrate ringers when held down, and I have an icon on the today screen to go there anyway.
I can live with that
BUT BEWARE: No comms manager button = no hard reset = what do you do when you need to hard reset?

I just checked if it is possible to restore the connection manager button after installing AE Button Plus, and it seems to work
Just add these registry keys after you have installed the software and you have all your buttons back and an up down slider:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C6]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\AppButtons\\Comm Manager.lnk\""
"Icon"="\\windows\\CommManager.exe, 0"
"Name"="Button 5"
@="\"\\Windows\\AppButtons\\Comm Manager.lnk\""
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C5]
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"ResetCmd"="\"\\Windows\\AppButtons\\Record.lnk\" -b"
"Icon"="\\windows\\HotVoice.exe, 0"
"Name"="Button 4(Hold)"
@="\"\\Windows\\AppButtons\\Record.lnk\" -b"
You can put this in a .reg file and open it on your Wizard to import into the registry
I don't think Windows minds the button to be remapped for a hard reset, the hard reset will probably still work if the button is remapped by software.
Did you figure out which reg entries are actually changed when the slider is remapped by AEB? If we can figure this out, we could create a file to do this without the need to recreate.
I am also getting slowdowns/crashed on syncing via USB, and am beginning to wonder if this is another AEB effect.

I can't find any slider registry entries, but I have no idea where to look
I have noticed that once I close the AEB program my slider doesn't do anything anymore, so it might be possible that it is not just a registry entry
Hey.
Here is the way to change the homekeys IN TFLO 3D.
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Here is:
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (The green WM 6.1 logo)

Hi
Have tried it but can't get the labels or items opened to change. Can you post an example of the string you're using?
Thanks alot. Finally some usefull apps on the softkey!!!

Nice thought! I was thinking the same as well, or the other alternative is to activate/deactivate Bluetooth but does anybody know the string to Enable Bluetooth?
Thanks in advance!
Just wondering - why use registry when you have that option in Preferences?
"Changing the boot picture/sound:

So i tried it i just changed the path to another image (jpg) in the internal storage. I got a blank screen.
So does the image you choose have to been in the device?
Does it have to be .png?
If so whats the file path to the device.
Thanks very much or maybe im doing it all wrong you tell me please.
Cheers! thanks!

Yo dude. I just checked it out.
Try: Start>settings>buttons
However, there is only 1 button that you can set (or maybe that what i know),
from the drop down menu, choose "camera". Viola!
Thru trial and error, i found out that the Button 1 is actually the call button.
Which means: press it once to go into phone mode, long press (hold) to activate camera. Hope that helps.

Hey guys,
I developed a small application which adds functionality to the X1 keys and keyboard. The reason why I made this program is, that I can't find a decent button mapping tool out there that does what I want - that is:
Extend the normal keys with long press and assign programs/functions to it
Extend the keyboard with a Control key (Tab key is reassigned to control key)
Assign missing FN+Key combination with additional special character or applications
Assign the ok button with really closing an application, depending on your task manager
To achieve this, I was writing this small app which itself checks for specific key events and starts mort script files in case such an event happens. I chose Mortscript because it easily allows everyone to define about almost everything that is possible and the application doesn't need a fancy UI to configure the key events.
You can find a readme within the archive which describes the program in more detail and you can also find some example script files for MortScript as a starting point.
For installation, you have to copy the X1ButtonMapperScripts folder of the archive to your root (\) directory of the device. You also need to install MortScript which you can find at Mort's homepage (mort.sto-helit.de). MortScript is a small and powerful application which is often used and mature. After that, you have to start X1ButtonMapper.exe and then the specific key presses will cause the calling of the script files. When you did not encounter any problems (software is still in testing phase), you can copy a link to the X1ButtonMapper.exe into your \Windows\Autostart folder for automatic loading at reset.
My current configuration, just for example, is as follows:
Ok short press closes an application, Ok long press (~500 ms) causes an app to minimize
Long press of left softkey opens start menu
Long press of right softkey opens MortButtons
Long press of volume up opens comm manager
Long press of volume down opens SPB task manager (Alt+Tab)
FN+a/s/d/f writes special characters I miss on the keyboard (%_\€)
FN+y/x opens Wifi network selection and resco explorer (FN+C/V are unused)
I would appreciate to get any feedback about this software, if it works, what you like, don't like and desperately miss.
Please be aware that this software is free and you are allowed to redistribute it, but please don't change it and always distribute the whole zip archive and not the extracted files!
Please be also aware that this software is in a testing phase and may hang up your device and may even cause data loss (not happened to me yet but theoratically possible). So please backup your data and be aware that I can't be held responsible in case this happens!
Update: V. 1.2 now allows to keep the original OK button function without change and to use Fn+Tab for sending the original Tab key!
i havent used your program but when i was looking for one such as yours, i came across ae button plus. im not familiar with scripts and programing and so i find ae button plus a good program. its not free but for $8, i think its worth it.
otherwise, keep up the good work. we need people like you to get the most of of our phones.
Would it not make more sense to remap the au key rather then tab key to ctrl? I use my tab key for form entry.
AE Buttons plus cannot do what this program does, that's why I did the hassle to develop it. Also PQz2 doesn't do what I need. For example you can't assign FN+x combinations with AE buttons plus and you can't remap the ok button (at least it didn't work for me).
Regarding the tab key, I tried to make FN+Tab to send the tab key, but that didn't really work. Maybe in some next release it will work, but I still think that the Tab key is dispensible.
Regarding the scripts, it's really easy and you can find ready scripts for almost any task. Also I did include some examples as a starting point. The scripts offer a lot more flexibility than any of the button mapping tools existing, so, take the challenge, it's worth it!

Did I miss something or does this remap ctrl to tab? That would be a HUGE thing in my opinion... And no, the au button is used here a lot...
Yes, remapping Tab to Ctrl is one of the fixed mappings it does. One of the most powerful things and something I really missed with AEButtons.
With Ctrl on the keyboard you get copy and paste, wordwise navigation with the cursor, Undo/Redo and wordwise delete/backspace. Check the readme in the Zip File for more details.
I also added Fn+DPad for PageUp/Down and Home/End - also something I really missed before.

Can this program work alongside aebutton plus? That would be great as they both have big advantages. I know this version of the CE core of WM only supports one key hook and I am pretty sure aebp uses a key hook. Are you using a key hook here? Is anyone using both? Great work!
Actually I uninstalled AEButtonsPlus before I was starting the development of this application. There is indeed a limitation about keyboard hooks in WinCE and my program uses them - don't know about AEButtonPlus.
There is a software available which claims to remove this limitation of windows mobile - it is called HookMgr and you can download it for free - check Google. I did not test it nor would I recommend to install several applications using keyboard hooks - they will most likely interfere with each other.
What is it that AEButtonsPlus has that you miss with my application?

I did not know about that HookMgr software. Interesting.
I have not yet had the chance to try AEButtonPlus, but I believe it allows programming the short press and also double press of all the keys (was not aware of the ok key limitation). Is there a reason why you only provide long press options? Double press is not really necessary, but I would like to change the short press options. IIRC (I should probably stop making comments before my X1 even arrives but can't help it. so exciting) out of the box, only the short press of the soft keys is configurable. It would still be nice if you grabbed these so that I could configure all my buttons in the same place. Also, it doesn't seem that you provide a way to program the short or long press of the panel key. Would this be possible? Lastly, it might be good to make changing tab to ctrl optional and or offer another key to change. The addition of a ctrl key is great, but tab is also useful. The original renderings of the X1 back in January showed a ctrl key on the keyboard. Dont know who's idea it was to delete it.
I would love to help out. I could write a settings application for you that would store the options in the registry. Rather than running the scripts, it could look in the registry for what to execute. By default the registry values would just be the scripts, but users could change it to run an exe directly. I could also make a cab for it. The settings app would be in .NET. Let me know if this sounds good.
BTW, I think the ok and win keys would make good ctrl keys btw, as they are redundant to the keys on the front; ok button being my choice.

I only provide the long press option because detecting double or even triple clicks would delay every button click and therefore reaction time, that's why I didn't realize it. I kept the short press of the keys (except OK) because they all make sense to me. You need the Softkeys, so their short press needs to be kept and the loudness up/down is essential in my opinion.
I also decided not to allow to remap the camera button because its handling is a bit difficult (two press levels) and I think the camera button is necessary when you really consider using the camera.
I also left the hang up and pick up buttons untouched because they already have short and long press actions (devicelock and handsfree) and I did not want to touch functions which are installed pretty deep into the system. I also like the function the way it is.

Sure I did - actually I wanted to map it with opening the start menu but it can't be suppressed, not even by a keyboard hook! By the way, this is also the case with the symbol key - can't be remapped!

Yeah, the ctrl button was one of the main reasons why I wrote this application. Also that the X1 keyboard leaves many Fn+Letter combinations unused which is just stupid. As I said, I wanted FN+Tab to send the tab key but that didn't work for some reason. Also I think that Tab is disturbing when writing because when touching it for accident you get holes in your text :/

They offer a lot more flexibility that a UI can ever give and for newbies the experienced could offer a set of reasonable scripts, so I don't see any issue with this.

First of all, you can't separate between the ok key of the keyboard and the ok key on the front on the level of the keyboard hook, so it would be impossible to remap the one without the other. The win key is not redundant and therefore I decided to keep it because I find it very useful.

True. I wasn't really interested in double and triple. Just really the short. About the softkeys, normally I would not remap soft keys, but the X1 has a shortage of customizable buttons so I would like to change them.

Lol. I guess its not necessarily a GUI but just options that would be good. You are right, the scripts are very flexible so no point in changing that. The only options I would really like is a choice about the ctrl key (possibly make the win key an option) and an option of whether or not to capture the short press soft keys.

You can remap the Softkeys already in the button configuration of Win Mobile, but I personally wouldn't do it. Better to remap them for the today screen via registry and using the long press events from my software for additonal functionality. This way it doesn't interfere with the sytem at all.

Well, I think that's just the way it is integrated into the system. Maybe by some kind of driver or something. The "sym" key behaves the same way. We have to live with that fact.

The softkey can originally already be remapped and for the tab key the best solution would be FN+Tab = Tab. I will have a look into this again.

Here it is for those who want to know:

(Remap panel key)
I finally installed this today and it reminded me the about the good things the Touch Pro has that I previously owned. It truly amazes me that HTC does not put the ctrl key to their HW keyboards, it makes no sense to me.
I started to think that maybe it would be better to use the win key for this, win key kinda is there on top of the screen?
EDIT: and now I bothered to read posts above... fn+tab=tab could also be a good option.. After all tab is not used that often...
Great work on this, one of the best things made to X1 by XDA member so far...
At least someone having the guts to try my software - thank you for the positive feedback!
Regarding the Win-key, I wouldn't remap it because:
1. I'm using it often
2. The win key is often sent in combination with other keys and it will cause some side effects to remap it - that's why I gave up on this idea
When there's more feedback and some problems discovered that are necessary to change, I will have another look into this FN+Tab issue.
By the way, having Tab remapped to Ctrl also has a good benefit - accidental clicks on tab don't happen anymore.
Hmmmm MortScript messed up my OK button.
Hi all, I just got my Snap after having the Dash for 3 years. The Snap is great but I have one problem...
On the Dash, when typing, long press will input the Alt+key combination, e.g. when long press on the "W" key it will input "1". The Snap can't do it and I need to press the FN key
Any way to change this?
Thanks,

That would be a great improvement! I had this same feature on my Diamond. I like the Snap keyboard, but you just have to push the FN key too much during some regular typing!
I'd like this too.
seems like know one know how to solve... this is really annoying on this great phone!
This depends on keyboard driver, what's always a dll library written by a manufacturer specifically for each device.
Similar problem has Touch Pro 2.
E.g. unlike Rose, where press+hold function can be simply remapped to another character/function.
OK I think I've provisionally got this sorted - you have to edit the keymap file using a text editor (either on the device using e.g. Total Commander or (probably more easy) copy the file to your PC using Activesync, edit it then copy it back to your device). On my snap the file is \Windows\eT9.Maple.wwe.kmap.txt - might be different depending on your ROM and language settings.
Before we go any further, make a backup of the file because you can get into all sorts of problems if you mess it up. It will be recoverable with a hard reset if necessary, but you probably want to avoid that...
The process is pretty self explanatory when you look at the kmap.txt file, but as an example:
Look at the entry for the R key:
{R R R 3 3 0x03}
As stated in the beginning of the kmap.txt file (on my device anyway), the third character in the above entry is "VK2 -> key to interpret when for press and hold". So simply change this to:
{R R 3 3 3 0x03}
Reboot your device and try it in messaging - when you hold the R key you will get a 3. Now you need to do this for every key! I haven't done it for the whole keymap yet - this might be the sort of thing you want to do personally, it's not THAT big a job I guess.
Cheers.
P.S. I also used this to remap the tab key, which I don't find that useful.

It says I don't have permission. Neither locally, nor through the PC.
What to do?</strike>
Nevermind, used Total Commander to do it!
Strange thing though - a long press on "Q" locks the keypad. Yet there is no code for "locking" in kmap.txt.
That would be sweet to have on inner circle! A one-click lock. Hmmmmmm.

Could you post your modifications? Also, has anyone tried this on the Sprint Snap?

Taking control of the damn file
Hi folks. Can anyone help me out on how to get control of the .txt file?
greg530 has clearly done it using Total Commander but I can't get it it work at all, either on the PC or the device itself. Refuses to be edited or deleted or have it's permissions changed.

You can assign a single press lock to the Windows Live Messenger button if you like - use VJDeviceLock and the instructions here.

Thanks, but I tried that with no luck. The file is in the ROM so I can't see how I can change it without reflashing.

That would be a great improvement! I had this same feature on my Diamond. I like the Snap keyboard, but you just have to push the FN key too much during some regular typing!

Is this just the Snap? My T-Mobile Dash 3G has these baked in already.
Is there a key code to launch PIE?
I don't need the Messenger shortcut and I'd like to replace it:
{0xE4 0x96 0x8D 0x8D 0x00 0xff} // VK_IME_APP_CAMERA 0x8D, 0x96 = IM
Does anybody know if it's possible to turn off the phonelight with the button to the right?
You usually use the on-button on the top of the phone but I think it would've been easier to use the button you hang up a conversation with. (just as you are with HTC HD2).
Hoping on a .cab or a positive answer

Thanks for a quick answer, Bruce Inman Do you know where to find a description on how to do it?
Is this what you meant; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536410 ?

Yes, that is the TD2 Tool to install.
Then install the enclosed Kbd controll program. Its pretty intuitive, just keep short press as default and set your long or double press to Boot manager.
or..... you can use SSMaHo to map a shortcut from manila home screen.
As far as instructions, you'll have to read as it is too hard to explain in brief.
One thing you will find is that the left soft key is locked for editing in most ROMs.
You can also set it to a softkey in the registry in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila;
LSK, RSK (left and right soft key path and text)
