Hello,
I'd appreciate to assign the 'volume' window to a hardware button - let's say the Button 6 (Voice Dial, which i never use).
The volume window is the one, you normally get then tapping on the volume icon on top of the screen.
This window should open/close by pressing the hardware button. Once it is open, I can set the actual volume with the Jog Wheel.
Any help is appreciated!

You can try something: install Wisbar Advance 3 just for trial. i know that you can show that "volume bubble" by pressing buttons on the taskbar, and i know it offers some links in the programs folder for utilities, like switch task etc., but i'm not sure if it brings a new link for that volume bubble (i unfortunately uninstalled WA3 yesterday so i cannot test - maybe someone who has it installed can verify the links so you don't have to install it...)
With Wisbar Advance 3 it works
Chris
hmmm, can you post the content of the link that does that ? or the .lnk file ? so others can do this without WA3...
Another suggestion: AEButton plus
On my old ETEN M600 (RIP) I had a phone pad app/skin that gave me big buttons and when a dial button was pressed the phone vibrated for a 1/4 of a second. It was great physical feedback to feel that little blip when a button was pressed and I believe it allowed me to dial numbers quicker. Anyone know of a app that enables this for the Tilt/Kaiser?
And yes I did a search for this before I posted a new thread.
Thanks

How to set up one button press on/off with device and screen locked
Also for those that are interested. I have AE Button Plus, Ilauncher and DeviceLock by Matt Armstrong installed on my Tilt. The combination of these programs allow me to program the left softkey to turn off the Tilt. Matt's Devicelock auto locks the phone and prevents any other buttons to be pressed. When I want to use the phone I can press the left hard key that corresponds with the left soft key and that turns on the phone and unlocks it with one button push. This set up gives me one button off/on and all other keys and the screen is locked from accidental button pushes. Now I just wished that Devicelock would shut off the phone after 10 seconds if not unlocked. Right now my phone is in my pocket and if I accidentally push any button other then the left hard key my screen will turn on in a locked state and time out only after 1 minute if no other buttons are pressed. I would like it to turn back off faster.
BTW Thanks Matt
Not an app but it can be done with registry tweaking:
[It involves modifying registry keys so beware].
Navigate to HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\
In here there are a bunch of keys named Dtmf which represent all the keypad keys [0-9, #, *]
Rename Standard DWORD parameter Sound to Sound1
Create new String Parameter Sound
Assign value *vibrate* to this new parameter.
Save and exit, test it, then go back and do the same for all your keys, sorted.
A .cab for this?
Is there a .cab floating around for these reg settings?
It would be a great contribution to the community if someone could whip up a cab to make these reg changes ;-)
Wow, now that was usefull. I had installed some small prog to do the same, but it didn't work great. It wouldn't vibrate unless you pressed for a more than 250 ms. This mod vibrates immediately! Thanks!
someone should tell Kaisertweaks that that needs to go in
Here you go, working great on the TyTN II
That's what I'm talking about

Thanks Gizmo!
I love this place. Where would WinMo be without xda-developers???
Any chance you could upload the .cab directly instead of zipped? For some reason it won't extract on my tilt and I can't get to a PC tonight.
Thanks again.
Sure thing, here you go
Installed and it is working great. This is really a great tweak!
aren't dtmf tones what are used for things like voicemail and such? like "press 7 to delete" it recognizes the sound? does this affect that at all?
I don't think this tweak has any effect on dtmf tones. I just tried my VM and everything worked as usual.
strange...i installed this on my tilt (htc rom) and when i touched a button there was no vibrate, until about 5 seconds later, it was delayed i guess, and after that i never felt another vibrate, even after a few resets.
bump.
would like to get this working.
Will this make it beep and vibrate or just vibrate? It would be cool it it could do both at once!. Also, maybe post cab to revert back to just the sound in case anyone wants to change it back?
Mikeeey,
Try holding the number down a little longer. If you just touch it, it will display the number but not vibrate.. I had the same trouble also.
I do appreciate the afford, but shouldnt it just work when it notices a keypress, not a long keypress.
You have to hold it for a little time. Thats how it works

That's how the cab file works. But when I did the registry edits as listed in the 2nd post, then it is an immediate vibrate. I used to use the cab file version. I removed that and went with the direct reg edits. Now it vibrates immediately.

thanks for pointing that out dalewinterstein, it works for me now.
i did the manual reg edit to try and make it respond faster but it doesnt, actually the keys lighting up after being pressed dont respond fast enough to my presses, does this happen for anyone else? i mean if i hold it just a bit longer it will light up and vibrate but im normally faster than that.
Hello,
I've a problem with my Diamond, the soft button for controling the volume have change of function. Now the work as scroll wheel.
First of all I think it's an application that change the button affectation. Not the good way.
So I try to lauch the volume manager manualy and it didn't appear.
I don't know if a reg key was the point of interest for this. But haven't found yet where is the problem. If someone have already encounter the problem.
Thanks
Partial Found:
It's S2U2 that change the softkey mapping and if sound control is disabled in this application, it's completly disabled.
If someone can send me what have been change, where and the original value for the Diamond, he'll be the "man of the day"
Thanks you
Hi guys,
For suspending power on my Topaz I use a little programm called MySuspend.
However, it started to make problems on my analog clock in my Co0kie Home Tab home screen. This clock seams to stop going when the device is suspended.
BTW, the nominal flip-clock goes as it should.
I marked also that when suspending (turning off screen) with the power button, it does not influence that analog clock, so....
could anybody help on how to assing the direct functionality ????
(I use Advanced Config to assign. The question is actually what is the actual .exe file, that is nominaly assigned to powef button).
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am not certain of the actual 'power off' function and what .exe initiates it, but if you install TD2 Tools (or whatever the latest version is called) you can set your softkey in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Set HomeLSKText"="Windows\PowerOffWarning.exe" to initiate Boot manager Screen, as shown below.

Thanks Bruce for the hint,
but I just would like to click the left soft key and it should be done (suspended).
The choice of couple of options is a bit to many clicks to go.
Thanks anyway
Anybody knows the solution ???
One thing you can try...
I'm not certain if TD2 Tools replaces anything in regards to .exe's but if you can browse through your windows folder and look for some type of power???.exe (not sure what it would be called exactly) but it should start with 'power' and see if you can find the .exe that activates a power down.
That's how I found the .exe in my previous post, but mine may have been replaced....
Sorry, just to be clear, you want to power off device or just suspend?
Bruce,
I want just suspend the device, exactly as the power button does it
I may be wrong but.....
I don't think it can be done as the power button suspends via the baclight settings in the registry.
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight]
"ACBrightness"=dword:0000000a
"ACTimeout"=dword:00000000
"ACTimeoutTemp"=dword:00000000
"ACTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000000
"AutoBklOffset"=dword:00000000
"AutoDeviceLockEnable"=dword:00000001
"AutoDeviceLockTimeout"=dword:00000005
"AutoSensor"=dword:00000001
"BatteryTimeout"=dword:00000078
"BatteryTimeoutTemp"=dword:00000000
"BatteryTimeoutUnchecked"=dword:00000078
"Brightness"=dword:00000007
"DimBKLinUnlockScreen"=dword:00000000
"LedOnOffAdcValue"=dword:0000013f
"LightDetectOn"=dword:00000000
"MAXBrightnessScale"=dword:0000000a
"MINBrightnessScale"=dword:00000001
"QKeyLedTimeout"=dword:0000000a
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel]
"LockLevel"=dword:00000000
There is no .exe involved.
Well,
I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button.
So if that is an exe-file for this action, then ......... ??
I assumed you had checked for the .exe already!

As I wrote before "I found in Windows folder poweroff.exe"
So hopefuly there might be some other option for suspending as the button, but where .......
Perhaps something is getting lost in translation here but....
You stated "I just found poweroff.exe, that makes the action that is done when you press and hold down the power button."
Does that mean when you click the poweroff.exe, your phone goes to suspend as it does when you hit the power button? Did you confirm this?

Sorry, I've been away for a while.
When I click power.exe, it asks "Do you really want to turn off your device?",
ie. it's as if I would press & hold the phisical power button.
So, if that function of the power button exists as an exe-file, I assume that a suspend-function also would, but I can not find anything like "suspend.exe".
Maybe the file has another name ??
Grab Keyboard Config for Topaz from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555821&highlight=keyboard+config
Edit action for button of your choice. Under the Power management category, I have screen power toggle, suspend device and reset device.
Is this what you are after?

I assigned one of the hardware buttons & will test it
Just wondering if anyone has started to mess around with the hardware buttons yet to change their functions? I've looked over the keypad_8960.kl file but it only contains the volume and power buttons. There are other keylayout files in that directory but im not sure which key number is assigned to the HOME button and the BACK button. I'm trying to switch long press home from "Google Now" search to "in-app search" like you caould do on Sprints Evo LTE. Any ideas?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2117
its hard i understand
any new leads on this?
