HI folks,
Was wondering how to do autocomplete in terminal.
I have searched the forums and the best I have found is to run 'ash', which allows you to use the trackball to scroll through your history. In the G1 forum, they use the 'Alt' key to perform autocomplete, running ash before as well.
As we dont have the 'Alt' key, is there another way (button combination, long press on something etc) to perform the autocomplete ?
Another question, is about md5sums. I looked in here and in the market, but without success. Is there a way to check those directly from within the phone ?
Thanks

Hi guys! Had my M5000 for about 10 days now and finally getting used to it but I wonder if anyone canm help with any of the following questions??
1. How do we edit the dictionary?? I can't even find how to add words and that would be REALLY handy as I normally use the phone pad for typing!
2. Can we select a default input method? (I use the phone pad but it always reverts to popup keyboard)
3. Can we change what the soft keys to on the today screen? (I'd dearly love to change Calendar to Messaging!)
4. I prefer to keep event, program and notification sounds all turned on but can I disable the start button click and the noise it makes when opening programs or settings??
5. My device is set to turn off after three mins - Is there a way to make it turn on again when I press ANY button? (I swear the power button moves in the dark lol)
6. When I go into my games menu it takes just over 40 seconds to list them all (I have about 20 games all installed on my memory card) - Does anyone know what might cause this??
7. Is there a way to get these phones to receive files over bluetooth from other make of phone? Mates with both Nokias and Sony have tried sending me pictures over BT but no luck
Think that's it for now - Sorry if any of these are stupid questions with obvious answers that I've missed but I'm pretty sure I've tried every damn menu on the device now lol! I'm also hoping that there's things here that other people would also like ot know!
Thanks
1. The dictionary can have words added to it by making a document in Word (named, for example: 'Personal dictionary') and saving it. Any word you add will be in the dictionary from that point on (as long as the document is not deleted).
3. Try registry hack here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
5. Try 'Settings' - 'Buttons' - Lock tab - 'Do not lock buttons'
4. Not sure if there's a reg hack for it, I've searched for the filenames below and their paths to no avail. but the only other way would be to remove the following files from \Windows:
hwandsw.wav
MenuPop.wav
If you remove or copy these to a different location, then you won't hear anything. During the old XDA / XDA2 and i phases, I used to swap the WM2002/3 sounds for PC Windows noises. Later, when it came to 2005, I used the set contained on here as they were much nicer.
6. If they're on the SD card then presumably it has to search the SD for all of the .exe files. This could be improved by perhaps defragging your card (StorageTools is a good app for this). Another thing may be to try creating links to your game .exes in a folder on the PHONE, and replace the Start > Programs > Games icons with links to the PHONE copies. You can add / remove these by going to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
7. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry - look for the section entitled To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)

Hi
The registry obex 'hack' does exactly the same thing as going to settings, comms, beam, and clicking the selection box 'recieve all beams' Beam = Ir AND Bluetooth.
I find that the button lock setting does not work. With it set to 'do not lock' you still cant press any button to switch the unit on
Nigel
Thanks for the tips guys
Maybe I should have been more specific with the dictionary thing - I want to be able to add words to the predictive text (Town/friends names for example) - Does adding them to the dictionary do this??
Yes, adding any words to the dictionary adds them to predictive text, as well. The predictive text uses the dictionary.
Plus you'll find that as you type more and more, it will automatically add words you spell out it doesn't recognise.
Ant
Thanks guys - Especially for the registry link - Some REALLY great stuff there
hmmmmm... One quickie though:
For example, to change the left-hand softkey to start Pocket Excel you would set
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Pocket Excel
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = \windows\pxl.exe
Anyone know how I set this to open contacts???
Hello,
I'm a bit of a newbie to WM5 devices and although I've searched the manual that came with my TyTn, Google and this site I can't seem to find out how to select multiple items in a menu or multiple words of text using the stylus.
Is this possible and if so how?

PS: Sorry if this seems a stupid question

Yes, it is possible...
select with pad an item, press central button. Wait the contes menu and WHILE you are pressing, select with stylus the other items you want...
Note, that the wheel push can be used instead of the central button.
There is one more way: open the on-screen keyboard and tap Ctrl. Then (while the keyboard is still shown) you can tap items to select.
BTW it's a pity the manual does not contain the detailed description of UI possibilities. Only yesterday I found out that if I push Enter (wheel or the center button) for a long time, a context menu appears... in some places...
I have a similair problem with the Charmer running WM5. On my BA I can select contacts and using the stylus draw down the screen and select multiple contacts. then I can beam these to another device. But I can't appear to do this with the Charmer running WM5. I have tried the suggestions here but they don't appear to work. Can anyone tell me if this can be done? I have posted to the Magician forum but no replies. Thanks in advance John.
Hi,
I created HButton for smartphones. BUT I have no smartphone so I developed it on smartphone emulator.
I will be very gladly, if there is someone who can test it.
Please note: Test it on your own risk - never been run on real smartphone.
thanks
Hundera
Great! While I have no time to test it right now, I'll frontpage the news if it turns out to be working!
when i get to the assign window, i get stuck there, don't know what's the next step

Hi,
I created it little messy. It has to be changed before official release.
* Using * assign it to any HW button. I don't know if there will be name and icon of selected button or just something like "unknown 40C1".
* Create list of applciations
* Left and right button select preferred application​* enter to add it to list​* Press OK.
thats all. Now you should be able to start application using HButton....
What now?
I managed to do almost everything:
I assigned applications to the list of button1,
I clicked on '*', and so
Assigned to (*) displays "Unknown 40C1"
When I run the application Button1 manually, the application I chose for Button1 is run.
But what now? What do I have to press to make the application run? What is button1? I tried all buttons, pressing for various lengths of time, but I can't get it to run.
Do I need to edit the registry so that the application "Button1" is assigned to some button?
Hi,
at first thanks for help.
"Unknown 40C1" means - there are registry part about this button. In SPh, there's missing names of buttons - so name is unknown.
I has no SPh, only emulator. I checked registry and there is all ok - only names are missing. All flags and path to applications that should be started are similar to pocketpc.
These registry settings are altered by my program so HButton1 should be started by button with code "40C1". What button it is - I really don't know. That's what I need to test.
But as you describe it, it looks like that these settings are ignored.... So Where is settings of button's behavior on smartphone?!?!

not totally sure
I'm no expert in this.
If I understand correctly, one way to do it is through links in the \windows directory,
so
\windows\short_MSG
is a link to the program called when the message button is pressed
\windows\short_Camera, and short_IE
are for camera and explorer button.
But I think there are also other places to set these. And some phones allow long_MSG,IE,Camera links for long button press - not mine.
I tried to copy the Button1 link to short_MSG, and that managed to run the first command in the list for button1, but not the next on a longer press. (And it still launched the message program first, so there must be a second place that determines what is launched...)
Maybe people in the smartphone forum will have more info...
All this was on an s620 WM6.1
just a few more comments
Now that I can get HButton to partially run, I have a few comments:
I'm not exactly sure why, but going from HBSetup to configure buttons 1 and 2 takes a really long time. HButtonTask is much shorter. Maybe it is because a list of all programs is generated, and this takes time? In any case, maybe one could display a message "please wait..." - the first time I thought the program had crashed.
Pressing left (instead of right) when the bottom selector in HButton1 setup shows <None> crashes the program (ArgumentOutOfRangeException)
In HButtonTask setup there are two arrows below Custom delay (I think to chose the delay), but no number is displayed, and pressing left-right only toggles the boxes.
<Start Menu> doesn't work. <Clock>, <Toggle BT>, <Quit>, <Today> do work. <Back> behaves a bit differently than the Back key - it switches between tasks, instead of screens - but that's ok and can be useful!
In the HButton1/2 setup screens, I would change the left softkey to "save" instead of "ok". Too often I pressed that button instead of the center/enter button to change the action on the list. Because it takes ~10 seconds to enter the screen again, it is quite annoying....
Hi
I am really interested in this project if is still under developement
Can anyone confirm/help with this behavior? When in the Tasks app on WM and typing a new task into entry bar at the top, the first time it works fine. I can hit Enter and the task gets added to the list. However, after that point if tap the entry bar again to enter a second task, the cursor appears correctly but typing letters on the keyboard has no effect whatsoever. Nothing appears in the entry field. Until I type either Space or Backspace, at which point I can again type regular letters and they will show up.
Does anyone else encounter this issue, and is there any known fix? Also, what is the normal behavior after hitting Enter to confirm a new task. Is the cursor supposed to stay active in the cleared entry bar, ready for a new entry, the way it does on regular Outlook for full-sized Windows Desktop? For me it disappears and the text "Tap here to enter a new task" fills the entry bar until I click it again. I have to do this every time, which can be annoying if I wanted to enter ten new tasks in a row.
Any help is appreciated, thanks...
No replies at all? Could someone else with a Vogue please just test this and let me know the results? Just go to Tasks list, click in the new task entry bar at the top, type in a new task, hit Enter on the keyboard, then tell me:
1) Where does the cursor go immediately after that? Does it stay in the new task entry bar, ready for more text? And..
2) If you try to enter a second task at this point from the new task entry bar, do the letters you type show up? Or do you have to hit backspace or spacebar before they do?
Please and thank you...
After entering the first task & hitting enter. The task I just created is highlighted. There is no cursor & my keyboard disappears. When I tap to bring up the keyboard again & start typing. What I am typing does show up in the entry bar. Note: I am using a custom ROM though.

Interesting... which ROM would that be? Do you have any other OS changers installed like SPB Mobile Shell etc?
Currently using NFSFAN's 1.15.
Not using SPB mobile shell or diary.
I have the stock WM6.1 rom on my XV6900 and I have the same "problem".
I usually enter tasks one at a time, but I did notice that when entering one after another, it just doesn't type in.
I don't know how to solve it, but it's not that big of a deal for me.
Hi,
on the X2 there is no "Buttons" app in the personal Settings Menu as usual found on like any other Windows Mobile Phone i ever used.
I tried the Vito Button Mapper 4.0 which is rather old and doesn't seem to work.
I want to remap the "Panels" Hardware Button to open the Start Menu instead, since I ripped the Panels off (with the SEUS-Method as described in ROM Development).
I bet this can be done via Registry somewhere, or anybody knows an app able to config the Buttons?
Thanks
After some hours of searching and trying i found the tool "AE Button Plus".
It's not free and not my first choice, since it's a memory resident app running in the background and hooking keys. Supports hold and multiple click stuff too.
I would prefer tweaking it via registry, but can't figure out how.
The key would be:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys]
Under this, the folders represent the buttons, but only two to be found on the X2 and I wasn't able to change them successfully. If anyone could figure this out, I'd be happy!
