Comm Mgr Customizing

Is there a way to customize comm manager (change from 6 button to 10 or change the buttons--replace data connection with 3G) other than using Advanced Config. I can do it through Advanced Config but wondered whether there was another way to do it on the fly that I am missing. Thx.

Did you try looking into the stickied thread at the top of the forum that has all the cab files??
There's a 10 buttom comm manager right there.

I know. I am looking for a utility that switches from the 10 to the 6 or changes the order of the buttons on the 10 or 6. Maybe I am not explaining it well enough ....

Why would you want to change between the two? The 10 button has it all, including disabling data connection and 3G?

Aesthetics. The 6 button on/off looks good with certain themes/roms. Not a huge issue. I guess not a big demand for it.

If you use Kaiser Tweak you can customize the Comm Manager (doesn't change from 6 to 10 buttons or vice versa) but you can re-order the buttons. Give it a shot.

Got it. Thanks.

... Is there anyone that found a way to make the 10-buttons CommManager "dpad-friendly" ?
It's so annoying : you can navigate the homepage of your PDA with the dpad, and then start the commmanager... and there : you're stuck !
Have to touch the screen to choose any of the items (wireless, data, bluetooth...)

Yeah, because it's SUCH a pain to point your finger at the screen and push.
Wow, it's amazing the things people complain about.

If I took your logic, I would ask why Kaiser has a hard-keyboard ? It's so easy for ppl to press the screen
...
I have the aluminum case, and the screen is behind a hardglass !
So you can give a try if you want... but I'd bet your won't even bend the glass.

You didn't say you had a hard case, did ya? I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. Everyone I know uses the stylus on the screen, just like it's supposed to be used.

Just use AEB to assign a hardkey, I use the windoz logo key, double press toggles BT power, tripple toggles WiFi. You get the picture.

I'll give a try to AEB (my Win button is already reassigned, same for the camera button which triggers the CommMgr...)

Like I said, why would people buy a phone with real keyboard, as there's already onscreen keyboard... That's exactly same scenario.
My question was not about "how could I reeducate myself", but how to turn this smartphone into something even smarter...
Even the ComMgr on the HTC Tornado can be manager from the joystick... (running WM5)
So it's a shame if HTC did remove this so simple thing as focus-ordered buttons...

You bought it, didn't you? Why did you buy it? I'll tell you why - it's one thing to have an on screen keyboard, it's a totally different thing to have a real, tactile keyboard with real keys to give your fingers feedback. You're comparing apples and oranges. Your logic doesn't fly with me, sorry. You can't touch-type with an on screen keyboard (i.e. type by feel).

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. You made my night.
The OP had a question, and I answered it. If it's not what he was looking for, then he should learn how to phrase his questions in a better way.
I don't apologize for my wording. I am short and to the point.
Lastly, some people will complain about anything and everything. You can't help that or change that.

Ok fine, so you're apparently upset about people asking for tips & tricks... Then I assume your Kaiser was just perfect as-is right ?
(...so I guess you kept the stock ROM untouched, and didnt apply any of the great XDA-dev patches/fixes then)
Anyone with a more constructive feedback, like maybe importing the CommMgr of a different HTC pdaphone ?

I have the Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM. It does everything I need it to. I have, however, applied many of the tweaks and fixes available here. I ask very few questions and do LOTS of reading. I read almost every thread in this forum looking for little tweaks to make my phone even better than it already is.
I have no problems with people asking questions. That is what this forum is for. What bugs me is people who post the same question over and over without reading ANYTHING. (not that I was referring to you)
I was trying to be a little sarcastic with my first reply, but I guess you took it the wrong way.

So then, if you said I was posting without reading anything ...
Do you mean you were able to find a way ? (finaly we'll get something constructive)
I am not really new to XDA-dev, so I know how searching the place works...
Unfortunately, neither the 6buttons nor the 10buttons CommMgr is able to do (apparently) what I'm trying to get.
Hence the post...

Well I highly doubt that you will be able to switch between the 6 and 10 buttom comm mgr. They are both cab installs and require a SR after install.
What about RemE's suggestion? Did you try that? You could also remap the PTT button.
P.S. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't read before posting.

Push to Talk not working after Flash

Ok my guess is that there is no registry for PTT to work. Does anyone know what I have to add in the registry to make PTT work. I still get the PTT alerts and hear when people try to contact me but when I hit the PTT button on my Tilt the damn Task Manager comes up. I can't change the program it opens in buttons because the PTT option is not on the list. So i believe the registry is not there. Please help I'm paying for something I can't use and I really need this feature. Hope some of you tech guys could assist me. Will donate if it works.

I'm not having that problem but I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to alter the push to talk button. I would like to set it up to be used for something else.

Which ROM. A lot of cooks disable the PTT button and reassign it. Please search the forum... this topic has been covered.

No it hasn't been covered actually. I manually search through so many pages, used the search feature and to no avail. I know their are ROM's with the PTT built in to the ROM but I love Schaps Rom and don't want to switch to lets say Dutty's. No Offense. I still hear when my buddies PTT me but I can't respond because the PTT button is mapped to Task Manager. If I try and change the mapping I don't have a Push to Talk Option. I think something needs to be added in the registry and if I knew I'd not be doing this right now. Based on my topic and the amount of views It looks like no one seems to know the answer. How about this, if you can find the "topic" I will Paypal you 20 dollars. Deal?

and KB cherry there is a thread with some CAB file downloads. Theres a cab so you can remap the PTT button for whatever funtion you want. If you can't find it provide me your email address and i'll attach the CAB file so you can just drag it to your desktop. send your email addy on a private message.

If it's there as you say & it's jus Registry related take a look at my old Reg dump text. It's a .txt, so you can use the "find" feature for "PTT".

i appreciate your help man with the link of the REG dump file. And for the last person who said it was already covered while you're looking for that post to prove me wrong slap yourself in the back of the neck for being ignorant and providing no help whatsoever. Waste of a post

Ok i'm looking at the Registry Log and I'm using Schaps 4.31 with the built in registry editor. I cannot add a new key because there is no option to do so. I only have the option to Open Path, Copy Path, View, Refresh,About and Exit. Should I be using another registry editor

Yeah the registry editor is schaps 4.31 will not let you add keys. I just download FHM reg editor and it works fine. Still working on the PTT fix. When I get the fix i'll post it on the forum. A cab file would be nice to have.

Not your normal PTT question ** Please Help Me ***

Ok I think I am one of the few people that actually uses the PTT feature from ATT, I love using the cooked ROM's but can not locate a CAB for the PTT functionality. Does anyone know if it even exists?
I have searched and searched, but all I get is CAB files for re-mapping the PTT button, which I do NOT want to do...
Please help me or I am stuck with the bloated ATT ROM.

look in the updating section...there is no way to get PTT on a non-at&t rom i believe...

Yes there is. You'll need to hunt down all the files for it (Try alex's oem pacages maybe) & then find someone that has it installed that's willing to do a partial registry export for you.
If you put all the PTT files into the windows directory & then import the correct registry settings, it will work. I'd help out, but I don't use PTT & didn't back up my settings.
You can try try this cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=44721&d=1185085638
& then this to enable the button assignment: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=44722&d=1185085670
But you'll still probably have to run the provisioning xml &, like I said import the correct registry keys.
Ohh, & after installing the above then do this one last. http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=60402&d=1196730655

what the heck....how come when i asked this question everybody said no? lol
in that case...i have the same problem as you...i want PTT back on my my tilt...only i removed PTT the stupid way....deleted every registry key and .exe and folder that had to do with it only b/c that smiley face drove me crazy...

hmm...that first cab did the trick for me...i opened up PTT...and it says
"PTT charges will apply.
Do you wish to initialize PTT?
im afriad to click yes, b/c if i do..i dont want to get that smiley face back...

You will still probably need to use the last cab to. It's an AT&T fix.

Bro I had made the same thread and I have the CAB file bro. It puts the Icon in the programs menu and works. I'm using it on Dutty's Diamond Rom. I'll attach in my next post. Have to dig up my thread.

Ok bro I found it!! Had to look at all my post.

Click on that and look through his collection the PTT cab file is in there. That's where I got mines from.
Hope this helps.

TouchFLO 3D: map left button to home tab?

Is there a way to remap left hardware button to TouchFLO 3D home tab? I had a Diamond, was used to home button, and I want the XPeria left button to have the same behaviour.

It was hard for me to find that too, but then I realized that I can go to home tab by pressing the hang up button.

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons and map hw button of choice to "today".
Dont get me wrong, but was it really THAT difficult to just try and look for it by yourself on your phone?? It's not some fancy registry tweak..just a plain simple wm option as old as the world. Sometimes i wonder how many people buy a certain device "because it looks so cool" or "omg that ad is awesome!" and have actually NO IDEA of what's inside what they are buying...hope you don't fall within this category.

MacCarron, if you think I'm such a newbie and don't know what I'm doing, you are so wrong.
Wanna try something? Do what you said to me, map left button to "today". Now, in TouchFLO 3D, go to another tab, Internet, for example. Now press the left button, which you did happen to map to "today" (at least I hope so). What happens now? NOTHING!! In fact, that "today" is WM today. TouchFLO 3D is a plugin, so you can't assign home tab to left button.
Assign "today" to left button works different than Diamond's home button, which in fact was assigned to TouchFLO 3D home tab.
Anyway, thanks for (not) helping.
M.Ozturk, thanks, I realized that, I was looking for a way to map left or right hardware buttons.

Mine works just fine pal..whenever,wherever i am, it takes me back to today. (should i provide a video proving it? lol.) In fact i've been using the hw keys mapped in this manner for a year, and it always works. Question your actions instead of calling someone a smartass privately and publicly. Or did you think i had made up those instructions i gave you without ever applying them, either right before giving them to you or in the past? Sad. This said, i'm out, "since you are so smart" figure what's wrong with your (i'd say rom) by yourself.

Yeah, maybe it's a ROM matter (I've been playing around with two or three, since it's been 2 days I have the Xperia). But if it's a ROM matter, it's not as easy as you described initially, right?
What just pissed me off is that you assumed that I haven't searched, or tried the simple way you have told me.
Just read what you wrote:

Do you really think I'm that kind of person? If you think, yeah I can think that you are a smartass too, right?
Wouldn't it be easier if you just tell me "maybe it's a ROM problem", Mr. Xperia-expert-who-knows-everything-and-others-don't??

I also used to have touch diamond, and would love to have this behaviour as well. I use Touch X 10.1 and mapping to "today" just takes you to TF3d, doesn't take you to home screen

I apologize for taking you for a newbie without the ability to learn and search, but lately xda has been drowning in stupid questions. Since i figured out the issue by myself long ago and it was really easy i assumed you hadn't even tried, like many people around here ("guys how do i flash a rom?"). Sorry. Btw i said i hoped you did not fall within the category..If it's a ROM matter it gets way more complicated and possibly unfixable without knowing what the chef cooked in. What ROM are you using? Since i got my x1 i tried NRGZ, Itje, Smaberg, Rota and Agent and hw buttons assignment has always worked..

Ok, apologies accepted.
I'm trying now Touch X 10.8.2 Legendary, and cannot map hardware buttons like that. I'll go back to Valkyrie v4.2 Firestorm and see what happens.
I suspect that buttons functionality depends on Manila build version.

shortcut to home page
Create a shortcut to:
Code:
\Windows\manila.exe --switchtopage Manila://home.page
Place this shortcut into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and assign it to the needed button.

PTT button is gone?

I just hopped onto an Energy ROM after I had tried one other.... I am pleased.
I am using his 28.may2010.WWE for the Rhodium and now my PTT button, which I was going to remap to my Resco task manager.. or LOUDTALKS App PTT function... and I see the the button is basically missing in the ROM. As if I didn't even have a physical one. But I do... I want to remap it. What is the deal?
Now if this was done intentionally - Well that is just STUPID period. A button you can map is a button you can map. I did this on both the STOCK ROM and clean Stock ROM that someone else offered.
I swap to this Energy Rom and the buttons in Settings doesn't even show the existence of the button to remap.
Did I miss something? What gives? Even though I just spent an hour searching here...I'm not searching any more and reading tons of posts for something that if done intentionally.... Is not my fault.
The button doesn't work/exist... The answer should come to me from the person who originated the problem. That is just fair. I'm not being a jerk But seriously... I am not looking high and low for an answer to fix something I did not break. If that was the case.... I wouldn't be whining I'd still be looking.
Sorry so abrupt. DELL screwed me on a PC case delivery and they want me to wait another month (after 1 month already) with a pile of hardware here.... SORRY!
I'm a bit put off atm... having found LOUDTALKS app and cannot bind the damn button to it.. Button is KAPUT?!?!

I'd suggest posting on this in the EnergyROM thread

Suggestion noted.... But I actually thought that is where I was.... Heh! I guess I entered a different thread from my Search results..... Feel free to move this.... Mods unless you think I should repost.

only the tilt2 has the ptt button just search for a key mapper and it will work on any rom "keyboard config" for rhodium.

You really should have posted on the NRG ROM forum, but what you need to do is go to Tools / Carrier Provisioning, select the AT&T switch, and hit APPLY. I think that will help.
