World's First - Play TombRaider with full feature "ON TOUCH"!!!Button Problem Solved!

World's First - Play TombRaider with full feature "ON TOUCH"!!!Button Problem Solved!
For the very first time in the WHOLE DAME WORLD(I guess), I figured out how to play Tomb Raider "On Touch" with the menu function!!!!!
(Same method may also be able to apply to the worms world party game)
After a long time of searching, failing and failing, again and again, holding up hopes and down for many times, I've tried so many methods, and searched for hundreds of times on the net, just to figure out how to play my favorite game: Tomb Raider, on my Touch. I even tried to use a hex editor to edit files in the game folder when I know actually nothing about programming. And then an idea flashed through my brain when I saw a picture of a "checking mark" appeared on the in-game screen of Tomb Raider after I accidentally pressed on a corner, I realized that the "active corner" function from FTouchSL WORKS ON Tomb Raider!!!!! So I did a little search on the keycode that brings up the Tomb Raider menu, and there it is!!! It's 195!!!
So this is how you do it (if you're already a FTouchSL user, skip to the second quote):
You download & install the freeware version of FTouchSL(If it asks about closing TouchFlo function, choose no), and go to it's configuration screen and do as the following first quote:
Enable FTouchSL: yes
Enable at startup: no (so everytime you play TombRaider you have to enable FTouchSL first. If you choose yes, some annoying message may appear telling you to register the program )
Disable on SIP active: Yes
Notifications: None
Scrolling: Disabled
Gestures: Disabled
Active corners: Enabled
Exeptions: Add program name, and browse to the TombRaider.exe, add an action of Active Corner to the bottom-left(or any corner you prefer), choose Send Key for the action, and put 195 in the key code blank.

If you're using FTouchSL already, just go ahead and make an exeption of Tomb Raider.exe, add an action of Active Corner to the bottom-left(or any corner you prefer), choose Send Key for the action, and put 195 in the key code blank.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And there you go! When in the game, press on the corner for over a second and you'll see a checking mark appears, and the menu is up!!! Congratulations!!!!! YOU CAN SAVE THE GAME, AND CHOOSE ANY WEAPON AND WHATEVER, ANYTIME YOU WANT!!!!!
Note: This is actually the first post I have that actually helps anything, so I hope it'll work with no problem because I have NONE!
Cheers! ;D

Actually dude...I'm playing Tomb Raider on my o2 XDA Terra for a week now with no problems whatsoever...I can save load do all the stuff pull out weapons and everything works fine...
Dunno if you checked it or maybe it's different on your phone but on mine I jst had to push the camera button on the top of the cell to bring up the menu...The message buttons closes the app completely and auto saves. The windows button is the ok button and the ok button is the pull out weapon button. Did you try every button of your phone while ingame?

freeware? if so link to the game

Ehm nah it's not freeware.

Sorry, my bad, I should've make the "on Touch" more noticable.
On Touch we didn't have any button to bring up the menu because we only have two buttons blow the screen and it's green and red, and the volume switches wouldn't do anything, but the camera button at lease brings up the weapon. Anyway, without the menu you can barely play the game.

FTouchSL is freeware, but not TombRaider.
but you can always find it somewhere......

Home page

Stupid question I know, but when you open the browser, is there no one click other than opening bookmarks that will just go to your homepage, and also is there a refresh button?

I've not been able to find either. The lack of refesh is very annoying when you are looking at thing like football results.

no, as shown in another thread, there is no home button. like you said, use bookmarks, or open a new window. Daft but that's what were stuck with at the moment.
As for refresh button, yes there is.
press menu to show the address bar at the top, and on the right of the address bar is a button that changes from refresh (when a page is loaded) to stop (while a page is loading)

Thanks..
Strange they let you set up and change the homepage but not the most basic function of getting there. As most of the time it's left on the last page you were on and doesn't revert to home? Oh well. Another one for the updates.
As a sidenote, how do you guys feel about the applications you download having access to :
Phone calls, read phone state
Hardware controls
Network Communications, full internet access
etc
etc
Why would something like Shazam need all this info about phone calls in particular

I have igoogle as my homepage,all i do is put a shortcut for igoogle from bookmarks on my homescreen and use that as my browser.

Exit SMS thread after sending

Hey,
Anyone knows how to get out of a thread automatically after sending and SMS?
I mean, I press the Send button and then the thread is closed automatically and the SMS Inbox is showed... Any way to do this?

push the home or back button...

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\LSK_Send_Msg <-- Set to 0 instead of 1
--> Restart Device, now you got a back button at the left softkey and a sendbutton within the message itself.
Cheers

Ok, I've explained myself wrong... Obviously I know how to get out of an sms (using the back button, going to menu->all messages, using the home button, the windows button, activating the graphical Send button, etc etc).
What I want is a way to get out of a thread automatically after sending an sms...

Bump bump

^ No I think you explained yourself perfectly. It was pretty clear to me anyway! The use of the word 'Automatically' in bold should have given it away. I'd like this function too if anyone has any fixes.

I added the "automatically" after realising I was not explaining it the right way

got to press back button
anyway the whole system is windows, while people get in and out thru doors...thats why its always difficult to close application/exit because people use doors instead of windows haha
no task manager for 6.5, how can we access the currently running process? like going back from sms to browser or to email? apart from hard key/soft key?
like in android you can press home then it turns out 6 latest running program?

Useless Button

I am excited to use my TMOUS device except several small issues. Some of them already fixed here (thanks this forum), but some irritates me (especcially whole device is excellent). One of this is middle hard button ( I mean that "back arrow"). My opinion is its most useless key I saw. It will must better to use this as a comprehensive Task Manager or Task Switcher. But this ONE STEP BACK(!!)... Stupid! I can't find any decision in internet to correspond this button to useful function, except AEButton-software, but I don't like this so artificial way, which running on memory and fishing all button events. Anybody knows other solving?

i use the back button maybe a hundred times a day in opera. faster than calling opera out of fullscreen to hit the soft back button.
i havent heard of any other way to change it than by using aebuttons, sorry.

You Sir, deserve a +1 rep (if this board would have allowed it )
You saved me a lot of screen taps

heh no worries. The one drawback is that if you hit a link that opens in a new tab, and then hit the back hard key, it drops you back to manila home (although opera is still running, just switch back to it) because there is no 'back' for that tab, so it assumes you mean to go back to home.
However you soon get used to it and it happens less and less.

samsamuel Thats good, but its not enough for device with only 5 hardware buttons (except volume control) to have only one programmable button for user friendly functions. I guess professionals in this forum can help us to establish full control for these buttons!

If you search around, you will find apps to do just that.

I use the back button every time I use my phone in every program. how is a back button not a good idea?

The Back arrow button functions as close app button my Euro HD2. Initially I used to think that it's just allowing me to step out of an application back to the previous screen / app that I was in, but after checking the task manager periodically, I realised that this button actually closes my apps.
Are you guys sure it's not doing the same with your T-Mo edition?

Switch off screen trick

Thought I'd share an interesting discovery,
I'm on the stock rom, and have both google search and google now disabled. I discovered by accident that whenever I press any of the three buttons and swipe up (similar to how you launch google now, but with any of the buttons), the screen is switched off and locked.
I dont 't know if anyone has noticed this before, but this is very useful since you can lock the phone from anywhere without having to use the hardware button.

I don't how you did this, but it doesn't work for me.
For me, when swiping up, if I move to the "google circle" it opens Google search, and if I don't move enough to that circle, nothing happens ...

As i mentioned, I have google search disabled as well. It also works with any of the 3 buttons. My phone isnt rooted or anything of that sort.

Install "screen off" app and do what khaledm_92 says
