I have a Tilt running the official HTC WWE ROM.
I don't like how once you open the keyboard, you scroll the scrollwheel to the left to scroll downwards. I realize this is done because scrolling to the left is really 'down' when you hold the device upright, but somehow it just seems to me like scrolling to the right is the natural 'down' direction when the device is held sideways.
Is there any way to change the registry so that you can scroll right to go downwards? Keep in mind this must not affect way the scrollwheel scrolls when the keyboard is closed.

when i open the keyboard and try to play a game (or even launch programs) in landscape left mode, usually up and down is now left and right and left and right is up and down. the only way to solve this problem is to remap the keys all weird, that is if the program lets you. mostly only emulators will let you remap the keys. Has anyone else experianced the same problem? im sure it's easy to fix.
I think it's intentional. That way up on the D-Pad it toward the top of the screen.

ok i know how to word what i was trying to say now.
on most games, there is a portrait mode and a landscape mode. well, in the landscape mode not only does it flip the screen, but remaps the controls for you. then when you slide out the keyboard it remaps the controls again, so now they have been remapped twice, causing it to not work correctly. get what i mean?
Yep, I understand now, but I don't know what to do about it. You have 2 rights making it wrong.
Is there anyone else that unwillingly selects itemswhile scrolling?
Often when i scroll down my latest calls i accidently calls someone as my finger scrolls the screen.
Is there any registry setting or anything that can be adjusted how long You have to press to do a selection. The problem is in Manila as well.
Example:
I select all programs under programs tab and scrolls down. Bam! Suddenly I have selected some other program while lifting and setting down my finger again to continue to scroll downwards.
HELP !!!!!
It's driving me nuts. (actually this is the only thing that bothers me with this phone) I used tohave an Iphone before.....

this will alleviate some of the issues.
you can adjust the touch screen sensitivity but it may work against you in other applications.
the 'touch' itself is almost like a technique, press and hold down, then push upwards till almost top edge of screen and stop, repeat steps again if required. This method works well for me be it using TD, Touch series.
So I down loaded this:
http://www.innovisoft.com/virtuamouse/
Free trial, seems to work as stated. it gives you a mouse pointer that the direction keys control. But I got to thinking that the fuze has a touch sensitive control pad since Gscroll works with it. If one could get them both to work together (including double tap to open) you would have a regular laptop type touch pad control of the phone then. And control it one handed to do almost everything.
Is there a way to get Gscroll to work with this?
Looks good but there are two issues for Fuze users... #1, our directional pad is too low/flat for easy side to side scrolling. #2, the price for this program + Gscroll would be over $30.. lil steep for a virtual mouse.
Maybe someone thats handy at programming would take an interest in it. Doesnt look like much codewise, as both programs (mouse pointer and gscroll) are tiny bytewise. I wouldnt care if you had to swipe 2-3 times on the small Fuze touch pad to move the pointer across the device screen. At least you could do 99% of the control of your device one handed with a thumb then. Right now I have the mouse pointer set to my end call long key press to activate/deactivate it, and using the dpad buttons is a pain, along with having to press the center button as "click". Double tap and swipe on either side of the center button would be easy to control it.
I think,that it can be very useful with adjustable sensitivity. In comparison with Omnia/i780 touchpad,Raphael's space is much more bigger,so it couldn't be a problem. I am interesting too for kind tool.
I 've tried to make it work with Gscroll, but I had no luck...
Not only that, but it disables the gscroll functions...

How did you managed to change the functions of the Long Press End key, could you help me with that, please?
The HTC_IME keyboard thing or whatever its called lol...can u make it so that it doesnt do auto predict when you use the g1's slide out keyboard? It's really annoying and slows up the phone. Ive looked in the setting and nothing works.. can someone help please?
Open the soft keyboard, look in the bottom left corner. There should be a cog-looking thing next to the comma key. Pressing this will take you into a settings screen. Tap "Text Input" and there you are.
Hope I helped.
Hello XDA'ers,
I am wondering what the reason behind why the buttons (camera, power, green, red, etc.) in Android on HTC Vogue map to the various tasks they do? For example, the camera button is back, but why not the red button? Is this something hard set in Android and cannot be changed or did someone specifically set it up this way for a reason?
Secondly I am wondering if I create a new "keylayout file" (source.android.com/porting/keymaps_keyboard_input.html) or modify the default one in /system/usr/keylayout/qwerty.kl will I be able to change the mapping of these buttons?
Compared to the Win Mobile mapping, they button layout can take some getting used to,
but once you get used to it, it's actually a very cool layout, especially if you are right handed.
You can hold the phone in your left hand, and use your thumb to access the settings 'top button',
Use your ring-finger to always back-out or end an app
Green button for phone / initiating calls
Red button to end a call, sleep mode, or power off
I wish the d-pad had more use, but I'm always using the stylus, so barely use it.
Would love for the d-pad center key to maybe be the main power-off button.

I completely agree the current layout is a very cool layout indeed, but as I imagine most people on here like to tinker it may be interesting to know how to customize the button bindings.
I am not sure if its just a matter of changing the button layout file.
I looked at that qwerty.kl file in the android.tgz
It looks like its just a mapping file, and if you change the mapping, you change
buttons,
but doesn't that mean you're just re-mapping the button itself?
Not re-mapping its functionality?
I.e., if you remapped the camera button to the d-pad center, for example, then
the d-pad center would do all functions the camera button used to do,
and the camera button would do any functions the d-pad center would?
Seems like you'd actually have to change more code than just the .kl file?
i wrote this application for polaris, and with simple changes you can add the vogue setup...
