MagiKB

http://www.mobiion.com/magikblite.html
I am using this, I have to say it is much much better when using the hard keys. No need to press Shift or Control anymore! Like typing on the Treo...
It was a chore setting up the key mapping, but it works perfectly afterwards.
Let me know if anyone want the key map to Att Tilt.

I have been looking for the key mapping forever for this app
please post the keymap for the ATT Tilt for the MagiKB 1.1 program. I came from a Treo 750 to a Tilt and it was the one program that I missed using (did NOT wanna set up all the mapping - wasn't quite sure how). Thanx

Looks nice really.

great program - please post the mapping

+1 post the mapping!!!

Att Tilt Keymap
Well, here is the key maps.
Please note, I am using a ATT TILT, with OEM ROM, without the Cingular addons, but if yours is not a TILT, then you might need a corresponding key map set up if the hardkeys are different from the TILT.
Also, I set up the key mapping so that only the keys with LETTERS will be used (when holding down, or double clicking). That means, for the symbol "," and "." and "$" you will still have to press the Fn key.
I can always change the mapping to whatever suits you, or you can do it yourself....
Install MagiKB first, then move this .lay file to your My Documents\MagiKB Lite folder. Then you can select the key map from MagiKB program.

thanks a lot - a great help

Could you please re-post the tilt keymap download link. Other link doesn't seem to be working. Thanks for the hard work on it.
EDIT: Sorry, got it. Thanks again.

you mentioned there's a difference between the Tilt? Would there be a difference to stock Kaiser then?

I have an ATT Tilt, so I don't know if the keyboard layout is exactly the same as an Unbranded Kaiser (I don't have a unbranded kaiser to look at).
If the keyboard layout is the same, then the key map should work.

Nevermind. It works.

Does anyone know how to capture the key for the left arrow/comma on the tilt? I would like to map it to the comma, but it's not in this key map file.

Adding additional key mapping to MagiKB ?

Solved/ignore; Can you explain how to map the directional arrow keys and their Fn counterparts? I like the way MagiKB simplifies capitalization and the Number Pad especially, but would like the WIN key mapped to "CTRL" - makes copy, cut and paste much easier.

OMG, this has got to be the best tip ever!
Entering items such as the "?" were always the one thing I hated about the keyboard (I came from a Treo 750). Now thanks to you I LOVE the keyboard
Thank you very much!
Thanks again!!

No problem, I came from a Treo 650, so the Tilt's keyboard bothered me too. This makes the transition to a Tilt so much smoother.
About the key maps, I am currently away from the country and unable to play with the keymaps, but I will be back home in 2 weeks.
I might get a chance to play with it here, in which case I'll post an update.
Sorry!

Anyone tried Magikb with WM 6.1? Installs, looks fine, but none of the commands work. Am I missing something?

After installation, select a proper key map from menu or edit the current key map.

Hi:
I was using this layout and program and LOVED it. The only problem is that after upgrading to WM6.1 (official ATT), The layout will no longer appear, when I go to select a layout.
Any suggestions?
Thanks so much!!

Yeah because the layout was stored in My Documents\MagiKB Lite in phone memory by upgrading to wm6.1 you deleted that folder with the layout in it.
Download the layout again and put it to the above-mentioned folder.

S2U2 and Voice Dialer

I can't use voice dialer when S2U2 locks phone, is there a way around this? I like the S2U2 application, but when I am driving and need to make a phone call via bluetooth handfree I can't, because s2u2 block the voice dialer.
I did look for a solutions via the search engine and in the s2u2 thread, but no luck thus far.

which device?
which ROM?
which voice dial app?

Thanks for your response,
HTC 8925 (Tilt)
Dutty's Touch AT&t beta 2
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2 build 070626

The newest version of S2U2 v0.95 offers a solution to this problem by adding the ability to use exceptions to temporarily disable S2U2.
1) Install the new version.
2) Run iLock2 to close the application.
3) Use a registry editor:
Under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find an open ExceptionEXE(0-9) (STRING). I used ExceptionEXE3. Enter the value: "SDDialer.exe" (this is the application that runs when you press the button on your bluetooth headset).
4) Run iLock2 to restart the application and you're done.
Thanks to tompol for discovering this solution. I first tried it by entering the value: "Voice Speed Dial.lnk", but this didn't work.

Hello,
i have another problem with S2U2 on my Kaizer, and i think i created it but cannot get through it. After i did some changes on the S2U2 settings now every time the lock goes on and even if i open the settings i get a black screen and can not do anything. If i press the power on button to turn off the screen and then on, i get the S2U2 screen but frozen, with out any animation! I have tried to remove and re-install the application but i get the same response from the program. Could someone give me some help, because i really like the application but can not use it...
TIA,
Nikos.

did you turn on the directdraw option or safe mode option?
When you uninstall an app, it leaves behind the registry entries. As soon as you reinstall the app, those settings are in affecct again. Uninstall the app, use a registry editor to remove the following key, soft reset, then try to reinstall:
The key to remove is HKCU\Software\A_C

Ok, I had the exact same problem, the problem is indeed with D3D option, you need to disable it. As soon as it is off and the settings are saved, the program works fine once again, and smoother then previous version.
This part is gonna be hard to explain... but here it goes...
First thing to do is run ilock so that when u turn the screen off it doesn't start S2U2.
When you open the settings the screen freezes, like the kaiser crashed, but if you move down and you turn the screen off and on, you'll see the menu scrolled down.
Basically that means u're working blind, changes do occur but u can't see, so the process is to move it down, turning the screen off and on sistematically until u see the d3d option and turn it off, then save it.
Hope I explained myself enough.
Takes some work, but doesn't require registry tweaking and other settings are kept.
Keep posted on results.
Cheers, Esko

Thank you both for your fast and details replies!!!
It was indeed the direstdraw option. It was easier for me to try eskostar's method, especially since i had tried the same blind procedure but i did not figure the trick with running the ilock first!!!
Everything worked out great!!! Now i can use this excellent program again!!!
Thank you again!!!
Cheers, Nikos

I have this problem. When I start S2U2 and miss call screen remains as it is when someone call (caller's number and slide to answer or two buttons with green and red phone). Whatever I push or click nothing happens. So I must softreset or turn off and on my Kaiser. Some tips?

Sorry I dont have that issue. However my problem with this version of S2U2 is when SLide to Answer is Active you can still use the Hardware Keys to answer!
Anyone no how to deactivate the Hardware keys during Slide to Answer?

if any of the apps in the exception list are running, not just in the foreground, even if they are running in the background, then [email protected] will not enable. Check your exception list, make sure none of those apps are currently running, then try again. If you still have issues after that, then it's with S2U2, not the exception list.

Very well done.
Apparently Internet Explorer was still running, and as soon as I closed that it ticked off. May consider removing that key, as I don't see why I would need it.
Thanks.

Good deal, glad it worked for you....
when I install S2U2 (i go thru phases where I want it, then phases of "get it off my Tilt") the first thing I do is remove the exception for PIE.
FYI.... Likewise, if you run any of the Cube or TouchFlo variants out there, you will need to put an exception into the TouchFlo settings for S2U2. What happens if you don't is when you try to slide to unlock (or slide to answer) you end up invoking the Cube or TouchFlo, instead of S2U2. Just an FYI for you....

Thanks for the tip. Am still looking into wicked programs so far, only had it two weeks and it's already been through the mod ringer.

that's the way to do it. I've been using PPC devices for years and years and everytime I get a new one, I try every hack, reg edit, tweak, and app possible.

How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!

I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in

Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.

i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

WinMo 6.1 & IE Problem (updated with more info)

So, I have the default ROM, the only thing I've ever really done on my phone is remove bloatware and instal HTC Home to give my today screen a fresher look. I heard that when you update to Windows 6.1 that the start menu should now appear on the bottom rather than the top left. I'm running 6.1 now and the button has not moved.
Also, my friend has a WinMo phone, on his phone using IE he can go to this website: http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/dfttsmobilesdk.php and use the text box to enter words and have it synthesized into a sound file that is played through the media player. On my device the text box and drop down buttons never get rendered. His phone has nothing modified to it, at all. So I'm not sure what my phone is missing that his has...
Also, random... even though I don't use the default today screen, I did notice something odd. The top bar that list the date also listed the time. How could I get the phone to just show the date? Or is that just somthing the HTC Today cab did in order to let it function properly?
Thanks!
Edit: As of my last post, I discovered that the text to speech site will render correctly IF I'm connected to my computer via USB/Active Sync. But if I take out the USB and exit out of IE then try to load that site, I again find it never loads correctly.

You can change this with KaiserTweak or PocketToolman.

I forget what website it was, but it listed that MS moved the start button to the bottom. I'll look into the tweak software to edit stuff further.
Now for the issue with IE. Is it missing some sort of Java plugin?

Hmm update.
I've discovered that the only way I can get this site to correctly render is when the phone is connected to my computer through Active Sync.
But when I remove it, close IE and reload it that page no longer renders....
So I hope that helps someone figure out why it's not working when disconnected from USB.
So does this mean theres some setting that I'm overlooking?

sportingindex java app

has anybody managed to get this working on the X1? I've tried a few java beds and currently on tnt thanks to another thread to get sky+ mobile record working but no luck on entering log in for SI. Their site says compatible with HTC / winmo devices so should be a way? thank

You have provided inaccurate information. There is no cuch application...
The company "sportingindex" has a mobile app called "Bet On The Move". If that's the app you are asking about, provide a download link and I'll try it.

Sorry orlesi, yes that's the app I meant. Link here
Just can't get any keystrokes into the i.d. or password boxes from on screen or hardwear keyboard.

Well, it's weird, but you'll have to use the number keys to enter the information. When you hold the blue button and activate the numbers on the keyboard you can use them as a keypad on a regular phone, the one with several letters for every number. It's kinda annoying and bizarre, but you'll get used to it.
Cheers .

I'd not thought of that, bizarre! thanks very much
