Camera launch button - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Is it possible to make the center button on my diamond pad, if held, launch the cam app?
how to do this, my search skills have run out.

You can only map the End Call button (you can try HButton)... that's why you didn't find anything for the center button on the pad .

Changing Inbox<->Sent<->Del.Items w/o stylus

I am looking for a solution to change between Inbox/Sent/Deleted/Outbox/Drafts in messaging accounts (SMS, POP3,MMS) without using a sytlus.
Changing accounts is OK! with messaging button ot Dpad buttons and I can easily close with smartskey or just by pressing red button but I couldn't find a way to change folders in accounts by using buttons.
Especially when I am driving so hard to tap with my finger because the account comes up where you left it (it's normal but still if you can't use stylus it's a headache). :roll:
This is not exactly a short cut but it works for me
In the mail/SMS/mms etc Account
Press the Right Softkey
Press Dpad Up twice
Press Dpad Right
Press Dpad Center
I remember it as: Menu Up Up Right Enter
Then you can move around your folders
Once you get used to the key combo its quite quick to do
Hope this helps

Yes of course it's
Menu\Go To\Folders
I looked for an one time pres thing. Thanx anyway. Maybe if it's possible to make that function map to a button it'll be solved
:roll:
you can map it to a key using vito button mapper since they got macro. but i stopped using vito ever since aebutton plus came out. however that shortcut key menu up up right center is quite useful. easy to remember. actually its menu up up center center would work too. easier to remember it as MUUCC. hahaha.
thnx
will try :wink:

I need someone to develop a program for the Kaiser

Basically the program has to do the following:
1- I want the RED (front facing) "call end" button to work like the Treo 750. So pressing it while in the Today screen switches off the phone, pressing it again switches the phone on. Pressing it while in an application takes you to the today screen.
2- After doing that then we don't need the hidden phone on/off button so we can make it into a silent/mute button. So a long press on this button while the phone is either on or off will put the phone in silent mode, also very similar to the Treo's profile slider.
Anyone reading this is up to the challenge?
Anyone here has any other requests? Let's make a list and see who is up to the challenge.

Not up to it, but why'd you want that. Switch phone/flight mode can be assigned to any hw button except call or call end, assign the same button(hold) for mute/unmute and there you are.
Call/end call buttons not being assignable is a hardware limitation, accordig to spb software house (pocket+).

Ok so how can I assign the mute/unmute to a hardware button as I can't find it in the settings--->buttons' drop down menu?
I use spb pocket plus to assign buttons. It has the mute option standard in its list of button tasks. There might be freeware apps that let you do the same, but I don't know them (as I allready had a copy of spb pocketplus from my previous windows mobile device)
Edit: AE Button plus seems to be a freeware app that can do what you want...

And if "hold" is a suitable alternative to mute, you don't have to do anything... pressing in the volume button toggles the call on/off hold. At least on my Tilt.

AE Button worked well. Now I can mute/unmute at a touch of a button. I haven't tried its full potential yet.
Thanks for the great tip.
Still though I wouldn't mind a power feature like the Treo. I do not like that itty bitty recessed power botton on the right...
On a side note I'm going to try and see if there is a reg key on the Treo I can copy to the Kaiser where when you are in PIE and hold the action button it pops up the IE menu. That's nice. Not sure why its only on the Treo. I guess for it's one handed nature... What, I don't get to use my Kaiser with a one handed nature in mind?...

Hmmm, that might be a useful map for AE button... for the side "ok" button, map a double-click to the left softkey, and press/hold to the right one (and single-click stock OK). Between that and the scroll wheel, that should make for some pretty easy one handed operation.
Just tested it.. works well, though the side OK button is a bit stiff/recessed to easily double-click with a thumb. May take some getting used to.
Hey guys,
I think i have found what your looking for. I also needed to toggle my Flight mode by a button because since most ROM versions of WM5 and WM6 Flight mode can`t be switched by tapping the signal meter at the top of the screen.
I installed this app and linked it to Button 6/Recording (Press & Hold) and now it switches Flight Mode On and Off. This is what i needed.
Look here: http://toosten.de/index.php?seite=sw&id=7
Have fun with it
One thing for now i noticed. When activating Flight Mode, it just turns off the Phone Signal and not BT when enabled. I am contacting the author of teh tool to see if some options can be added.

Remap OK Button to Rotate Screen?

I'm interested in remapping the ok button (the one on the side, below the scroll wheel, not the one below the end key) to rotate the screen. However, I can't seem to find out how to do anything at all with this button. Can anyone help?
i'd like this also.
I'm wondering if maybe this has to be done within the registry?
i remember reading in a thread before this that the remapping was not possible for that OK button... but i am not sure i could be wrong
try hbutton. it lets you map about anything to the hard buttons. you can map multiple programs to one button too. i use it to map the OK button to close a program, open htc audio, and screen rotate.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794
if you are referring to the ok button on the front of the kaiser, i remapped that button to rotate the screen from; settings>buttons. i am, however, using a sim free htc tytnII. this may not be available in the network branded versions. hope this helps.
sorry misread your post, you were talking about the side one. doh! no i couldn't remap that one either.
at this moment no one can really find the registry for that button. people have tried, i read about 3 posts that had people trying and they were unsuccessfull
i am still also interested in getting that button remapped
AE button plus will remap the side button, except if you are on the today screen, where a press of the button will bring up the start menu.
i currently have it to turn off the phone, since i friggin hate how htc made the real power button so flush with the body, so that if i'm on the today screen, i press it twice quickly to power off the device. the first press brings up the start menu, then the second press will take the focus off the today screen and implement your action. likewise, hitting the side button will turn off the phone if i'm in any sort of application or anything non-today screen.
and mapping this buttom also maps the keyboard ok, so now i'm suddenly without a keyboard ok button
What exactly is this Side Ok Button for anyways? It doesnt act as a confirm button
I would also like to remap the OK button to rotate screen. When I am using Garmin I like to have it rotated for cradle and visual purposes.
Also, don't know if anyone ever noticed this. I have polarized sunglasses, and when my phone is facing up and down like in portrait mode it is not as bright as it could be, but i rotate it like it is in landscape mode and I can see perfect with them on. Weird!
Let me know if this doesn't work out. I wrote apps for the Universal once to assign to any key. But that was a long time ago. I'm sure better solutions exist now.

You can do it for sure with SPB Pocket Plus & the Shortcut Add-in/Plugin.
I actually made an action sender for this purpose, for another button, but if I get some time , I'll pull out my old work & look.
But SPB PP does allow it for sure. You can map two of anything to that button, one for press & one for press & hold.
Anything new on this?
I've tried some different things...still nothing.
another bump...
bump it up again...anyone know how to remap the OK button (forget the rotate screen)?

close applications with home button

does anyone know a possibility to have the home button on the td2 closing an active application. its kinda hard to press the upper right X with the fingers and would be nice to have it on that button... ohwell it should close the app and go to the homescreen actually any chance to get that working?
Settings / All Settings / Personal / Buttons and there you can change function of your button (initial value is "Today")
actually i only have 1 button to configure there.. and im not even sure which one is that... its called button 1... ??
this is the answer button long pressed.
i use that for soft reset program
In most applications the back key acts the same as pressing the 'X' on the top right corner.
Only in Opera, as far as I know & maybe YouTube, that thee back key will act as 'Back'.
sadly this is not true.. even if i configure the answer button to ok/close it does not work properly. for example.. i open calendar and use the back button or press answer button a long time it will not close it - its still visilbe in the tasklist in upper right corner of the screen.
or is there maybe an app which will shutdown all open tasks when phone goes to standby mode?

Front Cam SWC Android 10

Welcome
I recently purchased android 10 auto head unit for my Toyota RAV4 2010
MCU : TS-G5.200630
The unit itself supports front and reverse camera ( 2 inputs )
of course Reverse camera comes up automatically after reverse gear
but in order to activate ( show on the screen ) front camera I need to go to unit press menu-then -F-Cam
very inconvenient ( not possible to add /change shortcut to home screen )
now my goal is to be able to activate F-cam by pressing assigned button on steering wheel
on the steering wheel control learning there is no option for F-cam only vol+ vol - pause etc , and its not possible to add custom button at least not from head unit operation.
There are 6 physical button on the radio but again there is no option to change their function ( there is no physical button learning )
How can I either add F-cam to steering wheel control learning
workaround for example assign F-cam to Mode ( physical button ) , :
then use Steering Wheel Control to assign Mode button to one pf the steering physical button
I am sure it is possible but I need help ,
I already talk to seller but he is unable to help
Thanks a lot

I've been trying to do the same thing on my AvinUSA android 10 auto head unit. I was sure I could find whatever app was used to show the front camera, but I haven't been able to find anything I can call from Tasker. I'm currently using Tasker with the Auto Input plugin to "tap" the screen. I created an application from a Tasker Task that goes to the Home page and clicks the "Applications" shortcut and then clicks the "Aux" shortcut there. That brings up the front camera on the AvinUSA unit. I haven't been able to figure out how to assign any hard buttons to it, so I used an app called "Vivid Navigation Gestures". It will let you assign a swipe from the edge towards the middle of the screen. So if I swipe from the left edge of the screen onto the screen, it pulls up the front camera.
There is one way you might be able to use a hard button. In my BMW, there is a "Navigation" button by the control wheel in front of the arm rest. I was able to assign that button to use Waze in AvinUSA factory settings. Then I set up Tasker to look for Waze to open and run a task that toggles split screen and opens my music app as well. Yours may not be able to do that, though. If it can, you could assign the button to open a GPS or Media app and have Tasker look for that and then go to the home screen and do whatever you need to get to the camera. Just a thought.
If you find a way to map the hard buttons on the steering wheel, etc., let me know. But I think we may be stuck just watching for whatever those buttons can already do and taking it from there.
Hope this helps. If you're not already familiar with Tasker, it may take you a while to get the hang of it. There's a pretty steep learning curve. Even if the things I mentioned don't work for you, they might give you some ideas. Good luck.
thanks

Thanks Tom
I will look into Tasker as I never experience with it .
Let you know about my finding.
I have also play a bit with FCC Launcher which is quite nice app , there is an option to assign F-Cam to steering wheel from that app ,but in my case it does not detect SWC buttons and I think its all to do with my radio Chip which is MTK 8257 and in my case there is only option to select MTK 8227 ,
have a try
