Remapping the volume slider?

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

Hard buttons config

Hi all
Can anyone send me the following registry key (and subkeys) please (of the HTC TyTN / Hermes)
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
I have a problem with my power button and I've discovered that some values are missing in this registry key.
P.S.: If possible, please send me the configuration from an original rom without any third party software.
Many thanks!

many thanks Mike
but "Button 6" configuration is missing... is that alright?
by default there is no configuration for this button?

Yes, until now I had not noticed that but that is indeed true on mine. I have also not carried out any customisation or even reset any of these buttons (well since last HR anyway)

Hi again Mike!
Ok, I've deleted the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C5" key and now the power button works perfectly.
I have wisbar advance 2 installed and probably, somehow I think, messing arround in his settings has created the power button mapping and that makes his behaviour anoying...
Maybe this is a solution for some other people with this problem. I've seen there are more people in the forum with the "power button problem".
Many thanks.

Power Button
Good news.
Had not seen others with the problem of the "power button" but if I spot them I'll link to here and by repeating power button problem hopefully searches will lead here!!!!
Mike

Well now, I wonder!
Perhaps you could write up a detailed piece on exactly what was happening and then the exact detail of what you did/changed. I have a pretty good picture but if you get the time the old blow by blow account would be useful.
Cheers
Mike
going to bed now-enough problems for one day!!!

Mike,
sorry but I dont know exactly what you want to say with "old blow by blow account". My native language is not english and I dont know that expression.
I can say that my power/toggle screen button becomes "non responsive" in the past couple of days, sometimes works after 3/4 presses or after a long press but other times I need to do a sw reset pressing with the stylus in the reset button/hole.
What I did to fix this malfunction is what I've described in this thread's 5 post (here)
I've used resco's Registry Editor and deleted the key "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C5" and all of it's contents.
Now the power/toggle screen button works perfectly!
If you need some more information, just do has one of our tv commercial
"explains it as if I am too much donkey"
Cheers,
Nero
I'm from Portugal.. same GMT, sweet dreams

Would this make it in a wizard too?
Hi guys, I have a wizard with the power button inoperant, everything else looks work fine... I tried several tricks given in the forums and those are great to power it off but not for turning on the phone niether the display on. Would this make it in the wizard too?

Luiggi, take a backup of your registry (Everyone should before registry editing), and just try it!

Thank you Vijay I took a look to the 8125 registry and is quite different, i´m afraid this wouldn´t work for the Wizard. I´ve tried also a couple of your programas (VJKeypress and VJEscahaton) but can´t help either, my problem is to turn the phone on (i´ve been using softreset during a connection to the power supply) and all indicates that this is a hardware issue... any thoughts?

Take a full backup (eg SPB Backup) then hardreset. Test if a clean rom still has the problem. If it does, it's a hardware issue, get it repaired.
Otherwise, if it's software, list what you've got or rebuild your installation.

It died like a hero....

I follow your advice and @ 80% of flashing stalls for awhile with the progress bar in red, after some minutes proceeded turning the progress bar in blue color and @ 95% progress I got ERROR326 : INVALID COMMAND "With the legend "This NBF file can not be used for your phone. Please check your NBF file" The screen was white with the 95% progress bar and lost connection with the PC, I tried a softreset and what I got was the tricolor scren with IPL / SPL data and RUU at the top right. I´m afraid that we have another G4 casualty...
And few hours later.......
I reflashed the phone with RUU_RIsidoro_2.26.10.2_WWE+CF2SP1_G4 this time it went to the 100% progress and the congratulation screen for a succesful flashing, however stalls in bootloader screen (this time without the RUU inthe top right), whenever I do a softreset (since the on / off button still is not working) The HTC innovation splash screen shows up, then disappears and my Wizard returns to the bootloader mode. I think I should be moving to the Wizard forums, thank you VJ!

Opal Volume Control - Hardware key

Does anyone have a solution for The hardware rocker on devices such as the Wizard for Opal Volume Control ? Im so close to banging my head against the wall. Any advice/help would be appreciated

bump
Would also like to be able to assign volume control to a hardware key. Any takers on how this is done?

----------bump----------

Anyone? at all? please? *starts to cry*
Anyway, this would be great! It is the only thing missing from my kaiser using the Opal roms. Especially in audio manager where the only way to change the volume is by tapping the volume icon in the start bar. The scroll wheel does nothing at all!
So I would love to see someone take a try at this!

C'mon some help please 608 views not one reply. Is this something that can not be done? Is there not a way to make a shortcut to the volume control so you can launch it similar to S2U2-VC or Setvolume? Please any type of reply would be helpfull.

bump again

I was hoping for an answer to this too but in my quest to find this answer. I came up with a much simpler solution (for me anyway).
I love A_C's S2U2 application and several versions back, he implemented a volume control screen which looks JUST like HTC's except that both volume bars are on one page. (Myself, I think HTC ripped the idea from A_C but made it with 2 tabs so it looked different enough.) What I ended up doing was using that volume control module instead of HTC's since the S2U2 one CAN be bound to a hardware key since it's a shortcut that sits in your start menu.

all very true, i remember trying it right before the HTC version came out, and i found them quite similiar. The only thing is, I do not use s2u2 anymore and it would be nice to have it built into the stock opal manager as that is what comes up when you change volume in the audio manager and the system icon...

There is a way to create a shortcut that will call an IN MEMORY address, I just have no luck getting the correct address for the Volume Control

I use smartskey and the volume up/down key on my Wizard works in Opal Volume Control

Hi,
Boto has given a smartskey.ini file which enables opal volume control to work with volume slider.
I did not tested because wizard's volume slider is damaged. Can you test it. I have Attached the file below
Thanks

Volume Key not Working

Hello,
i got a small problem with some custom roms which use:
"Large Titlebar" or "Notification Enhance" together with that htc's fingerfriendy "Volume Control", i don't know how it's reproduced but it heappened to me with wwe and ger custom roms (i'm currently on a ger rom). When i press the volume keys the inbox opens instead of the volume control, also the taskbar does not respond to any touch (when one of the upper mentioned apps are running). After a softreset everything is fine again. I think that a service crashed or something?
Someone have a clue what heappened? Or if this was asked already plz post a link i didn't find anything.
Thanks

WM6.5.x 'X' / 'OK' Button problem and camera initiation failure.

Hi brothers..
I'm Andy, new chef @ the iPAQ 6828 division. I would like to have advices for some problems I've found on 23XXX builds.
1. WM6.5.x OK button problem
Some menus in the were dead ends. I've found few on these:
If I enter those menus, I can't tap the X button to exit or assign the menu from the screen.
I can easily fix this by assigning a hardware button (on 6828) as the OK button but, tapping with no response still a problem. Is there any fix for these.
I found the same problem with HTC Kaiser AhmedFikry ROM WM6.5.5 Build 23577. But Kaiser has an OK button on it...
2. Camera
On the new builds I can't run my camera. It says "Failed to initiate Camera", and than the camera closes itself. I suspect there's some files in the SYS that I shall edited before I add the camera drivers and OEM on the ROM. Is there any files or modules which shall be edited inside the SYS Packages?
3. SPB Keyboards
I can install SPB Keyboards, but I can't use it due to some errors in the option. Device got stuck everytime I enter the Keyboard option in the control panel. Does anyone know how to fix this?
I would be very grateful for any advices...
