I wrote a small piece of code to switch between vibrate and sound on. I've created the cab installer. Just follow the instruction below to install it.
1. Just install the cab.
2. Map Button 5 (Press & Hold) to 'Vibra (Switch)'.
Whala... you just got a vibrate switch just like an HTC Wizard!
To start the program in delayed mode you need to apply the /d switch. However, I've created a shortcut for the delayed mode as Vibra (Switch) Delayed. Because of this, you're forced to install the program in the main memory as I don't know how to create a shortcut with parameters in the Cab installer. Anybody care to teach me how?
UPDATES
v1.32 : added switch '/d' to delay 1.0 second start up
v1.31 : Fix bug where flight mode toggle was toggled even when button has been release on silent mode. Also optimized button handling to detect button release during buzzing and in between.
v1.3 : Hold the button even longer (approx another 2 second), will toggle flight mode (while retaining current normal/vibrate/silent settings).
v1.2 : Hold the button longer (approx 1 second), will set the phone to silent mode. (This only works with App button 1-6)
v1.1 : Now run with '/q' parameter to switch mode without vibrating the phone.
EDIT:
There's no more update or any changes will be made to this program as I've lost the source code.
Works great!
Thank you!
Thanks, it works perfect here too. I added it to the wiki FAQs.

Alternatively you can use AEButton Plus and map your wheel button (#0086) long press to the shortcut you just made. To map this you probably need to focus on say Shift Key first by clicking on it once. Else your wheel button will press the cancel button when trying to map the key.
one problem though, if you map to #0086, the button still clicks when you hold the button down.
So, you might want to map it to stick to the Button 5 instead.

I made the vibrate to sound on a 200 ms vibrate though. Slightly different from HTC Wizard.

Great Woooork!
Now i also hacked "Profiles Swtich Application" from IDO and Eten,
If you interested in them,,,you can try.
I tested on my Himalaya WM5 and Vario II and work well.
<Auto answer function of IDO Profiles was missing> :lol:
How about thoes???
Interesting (and good!) work guys, will try both sometime in the very near future
Can anyone do this?
don't you think it would be awesome if there was a way you could push a button on the today screen that scrolled through these four settings,
Silent
Silent & Vibrate
Ring
Ring & Vibrate
And it showwed you on the today screen what setting your on. I don't mean just the ringtone though, I mean all notifications. So when your out you can have it on vibrate cos its in your pocket but when ur at home it don't wobble across the table and disturb everyone without u having to change the settings for each individual alert.
I've tried the ScenariosE program and the Profiles program and they are both half way there. I notice on both of em there is a show icon option? But where does it show the Icon as to what profile u are on. and why does it only change ur ringing tone, not your messages and notifications?
I feel that if we could get this perfect we could really be onto something. I know a fair few people with WM devices that could really benefit from it.
Is there anything that does this or does anyone know enough about the hardware to make something that does this?
EDIT
just noticed whereas profiles doesn't seem to work at all on my Vario II, have found that ScenriosE does only affect the vibrate settings for the atual ringtones and if you adjust volumes using ScenariosE it only affects the notifications volume. The slider for the ringtones does nothing??? Very strange
ipaq hwl69xx and 65xx has today plugin and what u want.
i am on the way to hack!
Just installed the vibra switch cab and assigned to button 3 (the comms. manager, at least on the Vario 2) - works beautifully. Love the much shorter vibrate when it goes off vibra to signify it's back on ringtones again... Nice touch.
The Comms Manager button seemed like the natural choice to me, as it has a little icon of a circle with waves coming out of it, so it fit the bill quite nicely. Anyways, my Comm. Manager is bound to my right softkey, so the button was redundant anyway

Sorry it seems not havaing Notifications,
Now i got hack it almost,,,including Tday Plugin.
But iPAQUti.dll which need to read device APIs are not mathc to
the Hermes.
Also tried HTCUTli.dll renamed to iPaqUtil.dll but not worked.
we must modify iPAQUtil.dll to match the Hermes, But no way now.
So i must give up....

Is there no way we can get round this? I'm dying to be able to turn off and on the vibrate function on my alerts? There must be someone out there that has seen something about this?
Or how about just a file that switches off power to the vibrator? Something that simple would be awesome, the phone doesn't know not to vibrate, it still trys but theres no power to the vibrator, n u can switch it on and off. Far short of modding the hardware and adding an extra switch somewhere (seems a bit ott) is there a way we can do it!

Good program!
It is possible to obtain the icon of the program of red or black color?
The color gray is little visible.
Thanks
I'm curious if its possible to disable the align screen shortcut on the Wizard (Enter Button in center plus Messages Button) Its really annoying when playing Doom or an emulator in landscape and having that popup all the time. Does anyone know a fix for this?
Unfortunately i dont have an answer for you. but i do have aquestion that i hope youcan answer. I got myself a doom launcher. It works well, but the control setup is terrible on the wizard. If i play in portrait mode, the fire button is the left soft key. So i ahve to fire with the same finger that i use to move. That makes the game unplayable. What launcher are you using and where did you get it?
I haven't done any testing or trying yet, but here is my idea...
what if you rename the align screen app, just so it stops it from launching?

Its called GF Doom (I'm sorry but I don't remember where I got it or whom made it. Although if the creator see's this I would love for him/her to PM me as I also have some questions.) Anyway the launcher shouldn't control the Key Mapping, usually thats done in some sort of config file. With the program that I have the keys are mapped in the skin file's txt document.
Try this, unzip all contents into your storage card and run the launcher you should get Doom, Doom II, and Plutonia (sometimes called Ultimate Doom) as well as a 3rd party mod called Evilution. Keep the default skin, with that the keys I have mapped are:
The directional Buttons for Movement, Messages button for Fire and strafe(I would like to change strafe to volume up/down or Internet but have not been able to if you can figure this out let me know), and the softkeys for Select and Start.
The screen defaults to protrait with your choosen skin. To play in full landscape start the game in the options change the resolution to "low" and it will switch, Hope this helps
I can't seem to get the attachment to work here is the link ftp://[email protected]/Uploads/
the file is pocket doom.zip
A Flock of Seagulls are in my Wizard
It would be awesome to find a way to disable this. Is there maybe an entry in the registry that corresponds to what key combination turns on the align screen program. Maybe it could be changed to some combination of keys that is very unlikely to be executed simultaneously.
Until then, I'll continue to drink foo-foo drinks to calm myself while trying to play any action games.
GF Doom
Dragonedge:
What version of GF Doom do you have? Maybe I have an old version. When I enter full screen mode, the soft keys are shoot and strafe, while the message/IE buttons are menu and escape. I have to use the same hand to shoot as I do to move.
Thanks for the tip about full screen, I would never have figured that out. Now I'm not dissapointed with the program anymore.
Lol, funny posts. Is this still a problem? Does it need investigating?

I still have the problem........ working on some things now.

Not sure what version it is. Check out the ftp I uploaded a zip file with everything I use. Also you can edit the skin files to remap the softkeys as well as the messaging and internet keys. All the information about remapping the buttons is in the skins folder in a txt file names Skin Specs.

The only problem I had was being able to map the message and internet buttons as different keys. Also I would like to use the volume slider as a left and righ strafe but could not seem to get that mapped either. Any help there would be great.
I've made an app to disable this - VJCalibrula for Universal and Hermes.
Wizard requires a slightly different hack, and I don't have one to test on.
dragonedge: what hardware/ROM are you using? I'll try to get you to alpha test if you want.

I wouldn't mind at all . I have the T-mobile MDA/Wizard with the 2.26 ROM
An app to disable this would be handy another idea that would be nice is an app that would let you specify another button combination for system shortcuts would be awesome.
VJCalibrula - disable align screen settings (alpha)
Guys, please give this a go.
I don't think it supports AKU 3.2 for now. Soon...

Hello all!
Sorry if this was asked earlier; didn't find anything like it in the search.
Basically, I really like PocketNAV's functionality; I'd just like it to be invisible unless I call it (via mapped button). Is there any way to get it to display nothing in the upper-right? If I uncheck everything it still has a grey bar in the upper-right (with the time) that blocks my icons. Any way to remove this, or other program just like PocketNAV that doesn't have that problem? Thanks!
Thank you,
Michael
I use SpbPocketPlus and it doesn't put anything in the upper right corner, though that's where you go to use it. For awhile I thought it was broken and then I figured out you have to actually press and hold in order to get it to display the drop down menu. Might be just what you're looking for.
Hello,
Would be glad if anybody could help me a bit
Sometimes, the volume control stops working. I press on the hardkeys on the left side, but nothing happens.
I think the problem appeared since i'm using the Tsowen taskbar + Carnero's patch....
I tried various solutions: go back to the WM volume control, download the HTC volume control for touch Pro... but nothing really works.
Does anybody encountered the same trouble?
If someone has the solution, that would be really great!
Thanks
you must change this dll.. HTCVolumeControl.dll
Thank you very much for your help.
Which way shall I change it ?
try it:

Thanks a lot for your help.
I have to say that after a day of fooling around i'm loving this phone.
The keyboard is great! I was a little worried about it after reading about so many issues people were having with how tactile the buttons were but i think the amount of push in them is just right.
(my only issue is the lack of directional buttons on the keyboard for emulators)
Speakinf of emulators, I just finished a session of Final Fantasy 8! The phone lags a little bit when there is alot going on but otherwise its TOTALLY playable.
I'm hesitant about going online even WITH my wifi set up as I think programs on the phone default to 3G connections if they are available and roaming charges are extraordinarally high with my plan.
If anyone knows a program that can deny 3G and 2G connections when browsing id love to hear about it
Search the forum for the NODATA app. It'll disable GPRS/EDGE/3G/HSPDA connectivity
if you have a wi-fi connection it shouldnt trigger 3g data to be used, but to be on the safe search for the nodata app
Thanks for the help guys, that app does exactly what I wanted
I think I've hit my first snag. I plugged in the xperia and the charging LEDs came on. I turned the phone back on and turned them (LEDs while charging) off. (I also changed the two softkeys to go to messaging and file manager) but after turning the phone back off the LEDs continue to display :S
I went back into setting and sure enough the settings are as I left them, they just have no effect, the softkeys also are GOING where I want them to, but as soon as I reboot they go back to calender and contacts
I think because the only way for you to know the phone is charging while its off is the LEDs the setting only applies while the phone is on... It's probably programmed into the bootloader or something...
also for the softkeys, i think this probably a bug, i'm not sure, i assume your on the stock rom? if you wish to stay that way then thats fine, but using a custom rom will really boost your experience! remember if you're going to do this, to Hard-SPL and read up on the process through the stickies on the Rom development sub-forum!
If you want to stay stock then simple make sure your on the latest R3A Rom release via SEUS (update service)!
For keyboard arrows you can use main D-pad.
Great choice OP.
Check these apps:
AE Button Plus - It lets you map the soft keys to anything you like with several functions each. I got 4 actions on each button (single press, double, tripple and long). It lets you controll everytihng without the touchscreen.
SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 + SPB News and SPB Weather + SPB Wireless Monitor . It turns the phone to a completely different device. The improvement is manifold.
WK Task - superior task manager and launcher.
Resco Today Plug-in - Arange and launch apps.
Homescreen ++ - task manager, taskbar icons, cpu speed monitor, ram monitor, phone temperature monitor, battery drain monitor.
Just to start you off .
Thanks for the tips, the resco suite added alot of cool things and im glad i made that download.
NoDataInRoaming is a great app!
Ive currently got my softkeys working again (had to reinstall sdktools *shugs*)
otherwise everything is working GREAT!
ive found that button mapping for some of the keys in FPSEce doesnt work very well as the default functionality of those keys stay, such as the blue key but thanks all for the tips.
@Jonny4911 I'm going to be making the shift when android is more stable on the device. as it is now the phone is working great for me and apart from a couple of slowdowns during taxing use i couldnt be happier
