Mapping or Programing OnScreen Keyboard Buttons... - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I posted this in the Rafael section as well, but am looking for a larger response pool.
Is there any way to program the on screen keyboard (on page 9/9) to program some of the blank available keys with ESC, END, CTRL and F1 - F12? They are currently not used and I can not find an application that will give me these key functions anywhere. I need them for a DOS program I am running via a gotomypc connection.

Problem after assigning PTT

I sucessfully installed PTTFIX and modified the registry as instructed. I am using AE Button Plus to assign the buttons. I discover that the touch menu above the right softkey that is supposed to be "contacts" now will not work when pressed with the stylus although the right softkey itself works fine. Instead when pressed it gives an error message that states "Rightsoftkey.exe" "rightsoftkey will not execute, reinstall file or certificate is invalid." Any ideas how I can correct this? Where do you find the files right or left softkey, as when doing a search for them they were not showing up? Also the leftsoftkey and touch menu works ok.
SPB Shell
I found that the SPB Shell software provided the solution. It allows me to assign the onscreen softkey functions as well as giving me a host of opther benefits such as a much more efficient today screen, Some functions are not working with the tilt due to mobile 6. The company states that a update is due out to fix these problems.

Wm6 Remote Access Error

Had to Remote access a SBS 2003 Server from my Vario III "for real" the first time today.
Seems if you use the on screen keyboard (large Keys - No numbers showing), when you press the 123 button to access the numberpad, the numbers don't work on the destination machine. (Update: The 1 does, not no others)
Tried with Small keys (Number showing) and the PCM Keyboard - same effect - only the "1" transmitted, all other number keys are inoperable.
Same goes for using the real keyboard, as the Fn button has to be used, and this seems to affect the remote access (ie no numbers appear)
As I use complex passwords, I had to enter these on the application page before connecting - no problem there, but not being able to type numbers when connected is no good.
Any ideas - there doesn't appear to be an about/version screen on WM6 Remote Access.
Bump!
Has anyone got Remote Access to work AND type numbers?

Customizing the "àü" key

Hi everyone!
Is it possible (and how) to customize the "àü" key on hardware keyboard? I mean: adding new characters, deleting characters, changing the order of characters you can write with this key.
Connect your phone in ActiveSync mode to your computer and open Phone\Windows\sym.0409.txt.
There it is. I'm not sure you can add more characters, but you can move them around. Each line is representing one hardware key. Each time you press àü it jumps to the next character on the line in that text file.
I use PQzII and AE button plus to remap the key as a CTRL key. Use AE button plus to remap the AU key to ESC key and then PQzII to map Esc as CTRL. AE button also allows you to give double press and long keypresses so you can get things like a windows key with the phone closed.
Thank you!

Could you explain which exact settings you used in PQzii? I have it installed along with AE Button Plus. I was able to map 'au' to ESC, and then after setting PQzii to map CTRL to ESC, it doesn't function properly. It has even froze my X1 a couple of times.
I have nothing else checked or enabled in PQzii, as I only want to use the 'au' button as CTRL (for cut/copy/paste).
More details would be greatly appreciated...thanks in advance!
sym text file in windows folder is read only,
tried editing it from my computer, (deactivate read only)
but just wont do.
works like a charm
copy it to your pc, untag readonly,modify your keysequence ,save it,
make it readonly again, copy it back to your x1, instant working

Thats strange, it worked for me. Make sure your PQzii version is the right one, all I did was remap Esc to Ctrl and use AE button to remap AU to Esc
If you can't overwrite through ActiveSync, copy it directly on the phone using Total Commander.
The "àü" key and Htc HD keyboards
In my X1 the "àü" key and the predictive system work well in the phisical keyboard before Touch HD keyboards installation, but they stop working after HD keyboards installation.
If I uninstall the cab file they back to work
Do you have any idea about this?

yes, because the predictive function, the SE specific keys (e.g. the "àü" key) are enabled via the IME DLL file (compime.dll) which got overwritten by the TouchHD keyboard cab (t9ime.dll)

Is not possible to solve this problem?
It's be wonderfull to have the TouchHD keybord working perfectly inside the X1!
It's wierd, my au key still works with the touch HD keyboard installed.
Yes, it worked:
Copied the sym txt to desktop, unchecked read only
edited it, rechecked read only
copied it back to device root folder
copied it to windows directory with total commander
thanks

hardware key "au"?
which CAB file did you install this so I can take alook?
Is there any list with mappings between the characters and those HEXA-numbers in the sym0409.txt -file?
I'd like to change sym0409.txt such a way that ä ja ö would be the first option after pressing a+"au" and o+"au" . Anyone could tell which Hexa-numbers to move around? Or are they in order for vowels starting from a and certain number of special characters per vowel? If yes, then I think I can find what I want.

I do not have the sym.txt file. I found in windows directory SymPad0410.txt, sympad0409.txt and sympad0409_phone and i've tried your procedure (copy in desktop - uncheck read only - check again read only and copy back in root then in windows folder) with these but doesn't work.
And however what I had to edit?
which PQzii do you use. There are a lot generalny for HTC
I can confirm that it worked for me too without the "copy to desktop" stuff, as i use a mac and syncmate did not allow me to fetch that file.
This is how you can do it on the X1 itself:
1. I installed total commander on the X1
2. In total commander i copied sym0409.txt to \my Documents
3. I also copied a backup to \Temp (Thats very advisable!)
4. I went to \My Documents (still in total commander), highlighted sym0409.txt and pressed the edit button. (the icon is a red pencil in front of a white sheet)
5. Edit the file and save it. It should have more or less the same amount of bytes if you only re-ordered it (498 B, i think)
6. Copy the file back to \Windows
7. Test by starting a new application and write stuff
If it failed:
8. Copy the file from \Temp back to \Windows

Sending keys from android to pc

Hi
I'm using a program called remotedroid which connects to the pc and can send keyboard press events to it.
I've been trying to play around with eclipse and create a new soft keyboard to make keyboard shortcuts (like ctrl+alt+delete) but I couldn't find a way to use special keys like ctrl or alt.
Is there any way that a soft keyboard could simulate REAL keyboard keys?
I know that there is an option in android vnc that can send those special keys to the pc.
Does anyone know how to do this?
thanks

Not Development related. Moving to Apps.
You could try PhoneMyPC. Its a program for connecting your phone to your PC and interacting with it as if you had a mouse and keyboard.
Hi,
As you know you need to develop a client software for pc to receive and apply key strokes. As I remember there is a library called Win32 API library to invoke special operations that you want to do. It's not possible via sending simple key combinations. I will share If I found more specific info.

Input Panel in fullscreen apps / Hold Button to open Input Panel

Hello all!
I really need your help, searched through this and other sources for 2 days now without any solution.
I usually set <Input Panel> to a hardware button on my devices,
so i can open the software keyboard (sip) inside fullscreen applications.
On my diamond i did this setting:
Button 1 (Hold) -> Input Panel.
For example in java fullscreen applications, like TibiaME,
i usually open the input panel by holding the "green" button.
Using this method, i was able to type inside java apps/games/midlets.
This worked perfectly on my HTC Prophet and on some ROMs on Touch Diamond.
But since i flashed my preferred ROM (BsB 6.5.1G), the software keyboard directly
closes again, if i open it inside some fullscreen applications.
For example, if i run a fullscreen java game on jbed, or Resco Snake,
the keyboard shows up like expected if i long-press the call button,
but directly disappears again.
The java apps also resize if i try to open the software keyboard,
leaving a gap where the keyboard should be, showing the application in the background (usually my homescreen).
The keyboard shows up, but directly closes again.
I never expierenced that problem before.
In some other applications, that problem doesnt appear.
For example in teeter the keyboard shows up and
stays in position like it should.
If anyone out there has an idea or a small hint,
it would be very nice if you could post your thoughts here.
Also, if you could test that behaviour on your device and post your
result here could be very helpful.
Im really stuck at this point and flashing another ROM
is not an option for me at the moment.
I already asked for that inside the ROMs thread,
but since it appeared on another ROM too, its not only ROM-related.
ROM-Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533&page=687
Edit:
For java midlets, i now use the following workaround:
-JBlend for "windowed" midlets, windows-bars visible, any SIP working.
(TibiaME update from 1.7 to current version fails, maybe someone could proof that?)
-Esmertec Jbed 20090506.2.1 for midlets that don´t need a SIP, like Final Fantasy.
For me, only swype works in fullscreen-mode.
-JRebeiro_Esmertec_Jbed_-_Build_20071119.3.1 for online games that need SIP and fullscreen-mode.
Any SIP working in fullscreen mode. Build is outdated, but allows SIP to stay in foreground.
I´m still looking for volunteers to check this on different devices / ROMs.
Still no solution for windows native applications and latest JBed builds.
Thank you very much for any help!
Best regards,
xumx
