Hardkeys

Is it possible to reconfigure the hardkeys that are set, by default to messaging and Internet Explorer?
Thanks.

Sure. You must read the manual that comes with the phone, but go to
Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons

Thanks, except (unless I'm either blind or stupid) there is no "personal" entry.

Personal is the Tab along the bottom of the screen. It should already be on personal, but might not be. Click it to be sure, and check your eyes when you can

But this is a smartphone, it doesn't have a tab at the bottom of the screen.

Ahh, my blindness! I apologise profusely.
I'm generally device agnostic, so didn't look at your device name: but I don't use Smartphones.
See if you can find a solution, if not, I'll write you a special app just to make up...

That's a relief, I was starting to think I was going ga-ga.

I'm also interested in a solution, I especially want to reconfigure the two buttons on the side (camera and voice dialing). I wasn't searching profoundly the internet for a solution yet, but also on Modaco and a Swiss board noone knew how solve this problem. So a solution would be highly appreciated

Doesn't AE Button Plus work on your devices?
V

Aha, interesting application, thanks for pointing out to it. Yes, it works, though it's a bit a "too powerful" solution (but better than nothing) - if there was a simple solution that doesn't require an application to run in the background then I'd prefer that...

I imagine there is. I haven't used a Smartphone since Orange E100, way way back. Are you sure there's no easy way?
If I was down and dirty, I'd set one button, export the registry, change it again, and export, and compare the two.
Isolate the registry function, and see if you can extend it.
It's possible certain hardware keys are "off limits", they are on the PocketPC. But I have code that might assist, but if you were using my code, I'd recommend AE Button Plus over it any day
V

One problem is that it doesn't seem to be possible to reconfigure a single one of the buttons via control panel. I saw a solution for the soft keys via registry (HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Home/Keys), but this solution doesn't work for the hard keys (or maybe I'm doing something wrong, happens a lot ). There seems to have been a solution for earlier Smartphones with "SHORT_xxx.lnk"/"LONG_xxx.lnk"-files that should be found in the Windows-directory, but this solution doesn't seem to work on WM5 any more. But I still haven't searched profoundly, so maybe I'll still find something.

is there now any better solution? i tried ae button plus, it runs on my mteor, but i can't map the keys. it says 'taste nicht verändern' / 'key not changeable'. it drives me crazy...

hello, is anything new about changing meaning of HW buttons? thanks

Short_home, Long_Home, Long_send, short_camera, long_camera, Short_record, Long_record, Short_VT, Long_VT, Short_POC, Long_POC
Best regards

But I cant find anything like this in Win directory... (WM6.1)...thanks

Great Software for your Kaiser

Guys I am sure some of you have come up with this program already but I thought posting a link to it since its free and works great with the Kaiser when you want to switch/open/close applications without pulling out the stylus.

I configured it to open with the PTT button and then use the wheel to move/select between the options (Active,close,close all)
Hope you find it usefull.

Thanks - I haven't seen this before.
Your link is dead - looks right but goes to the wrong place. I got it with a copy/paste though.
I installed it and it gave the "this program may not display properly because it was designed for an older version of windows" thing. I downloaded the WM6 version and am running it on WM6.
The program did not appear in my Applications. It was not available to be assigned to a button either.
It was sitting there in the Program Files directory though, and I could run it from there.
Looks pretty good. I like the controls and everything - but its a bit disappointing that it doesn't pull the correct icon for every program and you have to do it manually. I don't see myself doing that - so if I'm going to use it I would use it with the default icons.
I think I like it and would probably use it if I can get it to assign to a button.

To be honest its only when its assigned to a button that you will see the benefits specially if its the PTT which is next to the wheel.
Funny you say that. I tried checking my buttons settings and now it doesnt show up on the list of applications however its still assigned to the PTT button so I dont want to mess with it lol in case I screw it up..
Have you tried re-installing it?
I agree with the Icons being a pain although we tend to use the same applications very often so it might not be too much of a hassle.
UPDATE
Its back on the list of my applications available. I have assigned it to button 6 PTT

If you copy a shortcut to the programs folder in windows you can assign a button...

Too bad I actually use PTT :-(

Kaiser Options

Hey fellow Kaiser users,
I'm currently using the Tilt, with Dutty's touchflo rom. I have a few things that I was wondering whether or not can be done within the device. Can these be done? If so, how?
1. Setting TCPMP as default player within the HTC Home Plugin to be able to control the next and previous options from the home screen (assuming just using it for audio purposes) or use a skin on top of TCPMP that looks similar to that of HTC Audio Manager
2. Set S2U2 to startup with device so that you don't have to select it in order for it to run. If this is not possible, is there a way to change the items included in the quick launcher, so that S2U2 or some other program can replace some items included in the launcher?
That's all I can come up with right now, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh and by the way, Dutty, your custom ROM is awesome, glad I found it.

I can't help you with TCPMP but if you use a program like Battery status it will give you the ability to set up a tray launcher which will allow you to set up s2u2 there which is what I do along with some other apps. Heres a picture of it in the middle it gives you meters you can set up at the bottom is the tray launch.

}

For tcpmp, to set it as default, go to options>settings> slect page>file association> check all that you need. Exit the program. Reset the device. and you should be good to go.

I've set all the file associations within TCPMP, but this doesn't set it within the HTC Homepage Plugin and allow you to control it from the homepage. If I could get this to work, it would be awesome, but it may not be possible. If that's the case I guess I'll just have to use TCPMP's not-very-aesthetically pleasing interface. . But I can deal with it, it works, so I guess that's good enough.

The HTC Home plugin only works with Windows Media Player or HTC Audio Manager.
S2U2 loads up fine for me after a soft reset. It can be selected to be used in the Home Plugin in the normal way or assigned to a hardware button or soft key.

For some reason mine doesn't automatically load after a soft reset, I have to either launch the configuration tool or the application itself in order to use it. Does anyone happen to know if there is a way to, or exist a theme similar to the appearance of the HTC Audio Manager?
Thanks for all your help everyone!

You should be able to set it to come on by defult with "S2U2 Setting" (most likely found in your "system Tools" folder). Make sure you have the faollowing set to ON:
-Start on wake up
-Start on backlit off
then click:
-Save
-Yes
That should do it.

BAF GPS Toggle works but needs visual correction, help!?

Hi,
I have been using BAF GPS Toggle for a few weeks now and it works great.
I am also using the HTC Touch Pro (see signature) which has VGA
Resolution: 480x640
Colours: 65536
The button/icon is small and the Today space is about half the space of other Today plugins/features. Thus I need my stylus to turn it on or off. The fonts are however regular size and thus cut off halfway by the size of the plugin. This means I am sometimes guessing... is that 1 satelite or 7... I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to do a screenshot as I am travelling. I suspect the issue could be solved if the (status) icon is larger for this kind of screen size. (guessing)
(Note I believe the HTC Touch HD has XVGA and its GPS performance could certainly use this plugin as I understand from their owners)
Performance:
Great! (I am using original ROM and Radio, see signature) It picks up satelites almost immediately and this overcomes the slow searching and fixing that other programs use. I've used a few GPS programs to test them out. Both regular car GPS software like Tom Tom and my favourite Route66 as well as off-road software like GPS Tuner... It works great with all and I would advice this clean (low memory) software to any HTC Touch Pro user... (even with the small sized Today plugin as it is)
www.baf.cc developed this and says he has no time to update a fix soon. Is there another way for us (HTC Touch Pro users) to fix this ourselves?
Anyone has a fix/suggestion?
Thanks,

How to adjust today screen to fit GPS Toggle program? (or reverse)
Hi there,
(note: After install, first use gives error 21 and won't activate. After it will work as it should, HTC Touch Pro)
Listen, Robert Ferris created a great little tool. I really use it all the time. However, as you can see in my screenshot it does not go well with VGA visually. It is really difficult to open and start with a stylus as the space is very limited and often I open an adjoining program/function....
As Robert seems to be busy I think it is up to us to make the necessarey adjustments. If I want to do that,... Where do I need to make adjustments, how can I change the today line to fit the text? Where are the images, so I can increase their sizes? And would that do it?
Not only would it make a solution, but it would be fun to learn to do this myself as well.

By the way, I am leaving China for Australia and am not sure how often and how quick I will have access to internet. So if I don't reply immediately you know why.
Thanks for your advice!

Does anyone know of a GPS toggle app for WM, that is not a Today Screen item like this one, but a simple executable file?

I would like to know this as well.

Advanced Profile

Hello,
I am new here, and have the Smartphone HTC S730.
I would like to have a profile that would automatically change during my working hours to vibrate and go back to normal like say after 6:00PM.
Now I see Automatic field stating the profiles will switch when my calendar shows me as busy, but this means I will have to go in and set my time as busy every week from Monday to Friday for the whole year?
Are there any easier ways for this?
I have done some searches but most sites are not Model specific enough to get a good answer.

there are several applications to set different timers to change profile (or make a lot of similar automatizations)
try searching auto flight mode on google or try smarttoolkit (my schedule),activekitten chronos or other similar programs...

Well I solved it using SBSH Calendar, using a custom appointment.

}

Thanks znial for your suggestions, I may have to try them.
Today I was hearing my mail and phone ringing all day!
The profile kept changing itself back to normal 3 seconds after I put it on Automatic!
So I loaded SBSH Calendar and it seemed to stick to the schedule for about 15 mins then it went back to Normal Profile again! so my phone has a mind of its own, and I'll get a beep for every email as well, and I don't even have a sound set for that.
Could it be any of these pograms I'm using:
Geodesic Mundo Radio
Google maps
Microsoft Live search (gonna remove since it wont search in the NL)
PocketX Photo Contacts PRO (not too sure I like that one looking for a better one)
SBSH Calendar
SBSH Clock
SBSH Facade
SBSH Pocketweather
SBSH MyList
Others not worth mentioning
I had many themes running at times, like myPhone and that had a program called phoneAlarm, which seemed to ever controlling, but there uninstalled, just wondering if theres any lingering files or registry entries that may affect my profile?

it could be or not, sorry i don't know
but if you think that, maybe you could try to do an hard reset. reinstall everything you need and look if the problem persists.
or wait for people more expert than me.
sorry again if i condn't help you anymore
best regards
Z.
i think that phonealarm has a feature for scheduled tasks and profiles too, but i never used this application.
