GScroll - maybe a replacement for the missing dpad?

Hi,
I'm new to HTC devices, so maybe it was already discussed for the HD, although I couldn't find anything.
I know there are many of you are missing the dpad, and I think a dpad is really helpful in some situations. By watching some reviews on the Diamond I just found a little application called GScroll.
It includes a really nice functionality called "'Swipe' to Scroll":
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
As I don't have my device yet I'm not sure if it would work on the HD, but maybe it could, or at least it could after some modification.
Maybe it would be possible to use the "home" and "back" button as a dpad, that would be really cool. Another possible solution would be that by pressing the "back" button you enable the functionality and then could use the "home" button as dpad. So you "loose" just one button at all.
So I'm asking you, if you could give it a try. Maybe we have to write to the author(s) in order to support the HD, but I don't know why it shouldn't work at all.
Any input is appreciated.

It does not work on my HD.
I hoped that it may work sometime.

I have solution to left and right. just slide on this hardware buttons
ups this right and left should be change by side. right -> left <-

your solution? how? still gscroll??

X-Button On EnergyROM Rhodium?

Hi all,
I've a question..
I really like the EnergyROM_28002_RHODIUM_20.Nov.2009_StandardM2.5
I'ts fast and works great!
Link to rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553506
(you can see that the x-button is on the screens)
There is one thing I would like to have on my htc tp2, and thats the xbutton (top right)
screen of what I want:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When i looked on the screens of the ROM, there is a x-button, but I installed the rom and the time is showed top right in stead of the x-button
Anyone knows how to fix it? i tried to install the x-button.cab (v2) (other versions are doing nothing) and it diddnt work how it should be..
Thanks!

You have to use the 21869 rom for that. Your using 6.5.# which at this point in time does not allow for that clock to be removed yet (in the screen shot post at the bottom you will see a couple specific to the 28002 or whatever the 6.5.# is now)
As far as "fixing" it... I don't know.. personally I've just been mapping Task Manager to a button for quick access.

Yeah, it's not available in WM6.5.1/3, although it is still there if you go to system settings. Like Decer said though, you can map it to a button, or you can use Showcase from Marketplace.

Big Finger help required!

Hi, i've been the owner of a windows mobile phone for only a short while now, but one thing i noticed is the querty keyboard.
Now the point is, i have realy big fingers ( ) so i cannot hit all keys well enough.
Recently my girlfriends sister got a new phone which has a default(see the pic) numeric type keyboard but on touchscreen.
What i was wondering, is there anything like it for windows mobile?
I am running windows mobile 6.1 by the way
Seems im not yet allowed to use images or links in my posts, just remove the space between h & ttp

PS. i have tried searching the Software and Games Forum but keyboard and keypad are a little too common i think.

you can turn every 6.5.X-rom into mini-style by changing following keys:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/BubbleTiles
"HardwareDoneKeyEnabled"=dword:1
"HardwareStartKeyEnabled"=dword:1
"TextModeEnabled"=dword:1

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's a good idea, I can use this to fit a wm6.5.xx in Treo Pro screen!

Hiding the buttons

I find the virtual buttons a bit of a nuisance, I would much rather use gestures. I originally wanted to hide them only on my home screen, but it seems it's all or nothing with qemu.hw.mainkeys in build.prop.
I'm fine getting rid of them, however I'm wondering if there is a gesture system I can have instead, for example a swipe from bottom takes me to the home screen?
Edit: I'm on rooted stock 4.3.

I'm using cataclysm ROM which has a unique feature which fades out the buttons after ten seconds in any app. Other wise I think there's an xposed module that can have swipes to navigate.

Thanks man, turns out I was Googling for the wrong thing - once I figured out that they were called navigation bars I came across an app called " GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys" for rooted devices. (For future people)
I'd rather keep with rooted stock for now but I will be sure to keep an eye on it for when I decide to dabble in roms.
