Hi
I decided i will try and develop some applications, to give something back to the community for all the help they have given me over the past year.
So any suggestions for apps?
battery time remaining
isn't there an app for that already?
something like a .cab to do this?
something that we can install that when we hit "ok" or "x" it will exit any app or process thats running.
so we dont have to stop things with a task manager that we thought we had stopped but they are still running in the back ground.
i know the option is in some task managers but something small just for this problem will save having to have two task manaers installed the default one and the other one to get the "ok" or "x" to close option.

If you tap ok/x button and hold a while, process will quit..

Hey thanks for that, it will save me going to the task manager.
I downloaded visual studio 2010 but it doesn't include wm, so i am downloading vs 2005 instead.

Its a good idea but you rould be able to press 2 buttons on screen at once. No multitouch.
how about copy and paste ?
how about having copy and paste work in everything instead of just the apps that support it?
so when ever you come across any text input or menu u can hold the stylus down 4 a few seconds and get a copy,cut, paste,delete etc.
just like the inbuilt windows menu.
very handy for cross app text input!

Hi,
I've successfully re-mapped the PTT button by following the instructions from this forum. I imagine the same procedure would apply to the small OK button immediately below the jog-wheel, but I don't know where to start. Of course, the button is not present in the Settings/Buttons applet - that would have been too easy.
First, how to disassociate it from its present function (Start Menu/OK)? And once disassociated, what is the button code to enter in the registry?
I tried aebplus, and it sort of works - but the start menu still comes up on the first keypress if invoked in the Today screen.
Any ideas on how to re-map this otherwise useless key?
Thanks,
Mike.

You sound like a jerk for posting that I did not search when the reply prior to mine was 6 months ago.
Did you even read the thread? None of the links you posted had instructions/advice on how to remap the side "ok" button.

yes i was about to say. non of them have steps or even telling you anything related to how to get it.
all it says is people trying it matter and they failed.
if there was no solutiion you should have just said no solution, it would have saved you time searching all that and also us bashing you
the 4th link does have some good information, lemme just quote from it
Bellfazar said:
The side "ok" button is a tough one because it has multiple functions. In programs, explorer windows, and settings it acts as an OK button but when you're at the today screen it acts as a Start Menu button. I kinda get the feeling we're not going to be able to change this for a while. Not until someone releases a keymapper specifically for the Kaiser.

I have the side OK button remapped in spb pocket plus v4 under the buttons menu in settings and the only thing you have to do is take focus off the start menu then it works as expected.

It's really easy with help of AE Button Plus.
You can pretty much map any hardware key on your device with this great app.
I have it setup to be able to copy and paste by using the sliding keyboard and pressing Window Key + C to copy and Window Key + V to paste among other cool shortcuts.
Cheers!

Thanks Rayan. I downloaded the AE Button Plus program for my AT&T Tilt, and it is working fantastic for remapping buttons. I was able to remap the side OK button to lock my phone by holding it for a few seconds. I love the way it also lets you leave the button with its default setting for one press, but create other actions for multiple presses.
By the way, the phone locking works fantastic. It allows me to answer calls, but doesn't activate any of the other phone functions until I unlock the phone. That's perfect for carrying the phone in my pocket. Also, incoming notifications don't unlock the phone, so that I won't accidentally turn-on a bunch of applications while the phone is in my pocket. The unlocking action is very simple.
I've also mapped volume up and down to a long press of the soft keys. That alleviates the need to use the stylus to select the volume button. Great.
The AE Button Plus program was what I've needed all along to customize my phone. It would've saved me a lot of time.
One other note, I downloaded the 2.6.3 version of the program, rather than the freeware version, but I haven't gotten any info on the cost. I may be disappointed in the near future if this program automatically deactivates. Do you know if I should expect a disappointment? I would pay for this program, but I'm not sure how much it's worth to me, but I saw no information on the cost. Do you know?
AFAIK there is only one version, if you want the registered version you buy a license and there's a procedure to activate it, otherwise it uses the free version with a couple features disabled and a nagscreen once in a while.
I want to remap the side ok button to calendar and long press to new appointment.
I have Pocket Plus 4 and it gives me the option to do it and it works when i have a program open, but when im on the today screen, it just opens the start menu. Any soluton to this?
You might try posting your question on the Spb forums. Developers over there monitor the threads, and might be able to help.
http://www.spbclub.com/forum/
Try aebutton plus.
Ideas? Wouldnt want to register to another forum for this...
like the post above said, AEButton, or maybe HButton.
Ok, I posted to the spb forums.
Please refrain from posting suggestions you have not tried. AEButton and HButton do not work.
Even if they would work, when I have a program that’s supposed to do this function, the first answer on my opinion shouldn’t be to install more programs to my device.
Just do this via the > Settings > Buttons.
I reprogrammed it to the HTC Action Screen.
AE Button does work, however, much like the Red End-call button there is a small issue. I can map the button for single,double,tripple, and long press, BUT, the button works as follows.
Press button, upon release the start menu opens.
Press button again, then it acts as AEB's 1st press.
Press button, twice, thrice, hold, all work OK
So it's OK but you just have to ignore the first push.
Now this is all on the side OK button, the front OK button is mappable seperately with AEB+

Like your Avatar, Bahh Humbug. AnyButton + is easily one of the most useful apps for PPC phones. I have so many functions mapped with it that the phone would be crippled without it, so sometimes suggesting a must have app is helpfull.

the ok button on the side is extremely different from the ok button on the front that you are referring to
Is the side OK button similar to the PTT button? I wonder if the side OK key can be removed from the registry and then renamed so that it would not open the start menu first, before the first, twice, thrice and long AEB push?

THATS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT....
I dont need new apps, i have everything else the way i want. Like my avatar, i'm allmost good to go.
In Pocket Plus 4, first push opens the start menu and second push closes it. Unless i have some window open at today, then it works as i remapped it.
I'm being extremely dim here. I'm attempting to copy a shortcut to the start menu folder, but when I paste it in in either PC windows explorer, Resco or mobile explorer either as paste or paste shortcut it disappears into the start menu/programs folder and doesn't appear in the start menu. Any idea?

/*scratch my head*/ did you try the menus option under settings to put the shortcut of the program/item you want to appear on start menu??
Yep tried that- not showing in the list but is under programs?!

that's weird because every program i have installed on my device shows up on the list.. hmm ... i'll have to play around with device when i get home.
It's a replacement handset running 6.1. TBH it seems a bit flaky- I didn't have to set up the screen etc when I unboxed it- booted straight to the today screen. I'm going to hard reset before I load more on. I'll let you know.

hard reset is a good choice if you want the phone restored to original condition when it first came out by manfacturer (assuming no rom or spl flashes). I'll post and see what i get when i get home as far as program popping in list for start menu.
Just completed the hard reset and reinstall. All is well and works as it should inc the start menu. I was suspicious when the new handset (delivered without the battery installed) booted straight to the today screen. This time I had to set up the stylus and go through the tutorial- the only time I was glad to see it!
Thanks for your suggestions thesire.

np we r all here to help each other.
Is there a registry key (and if so, what is it) that limits the number of programs shown on the start menu?
I want to be able to add a few more as there is room.
Thanks

U can try quickmenu 2.7. Its a lot better then the standart start menu.
7 items on the start menu
Thanks, but I am looking for a regsitry key, etc. I am not interested in running an other application as I have one (Wisbar Advance) that I like.
Hi, I'm interesting too with this thread. Did you ready know how to put some more items on start menu? Is there any possibilities to do this without installing other softwares?
7 items on the start menu
I dont know how to do this. I would think there must be a way, but I cant find it on Google.

LOL. Copy the link that are in your Windows/Start Menu/Pograms folder to your /Windows/Start Menu. There they shall appear
7 items
Yes, but I want to do it the 'right way' for a couple of reasons that dont matter here.
That is, from teh GUI interface, where you select what ites you wan tto appear. When you have 7 selected, when you then select another one (8), you get an error prompt stating only 7 can be added.
This has to be a registry key, I would think.
Since the born of Manila Editor, why someone (not me, I'm not able ) doesn't create a little app to restart TF3D?
It's a little bit annoying to go to start/settings/today/items to disable it and exit, then return inside to restart it.
Could be wonderfull a sort of macro to do it
Thx in advance!
Thread moved to Diamond general!
there is a free app called 'no plugins today' which if you run it once disables your today plugins, then run it again and it enables them. Seeing as TF3D is just a today plugin I don't see why this wouldnt work. Google for it.
I found some trick on Diamond by accident. If you move TF3D from left to right few times, (not sure how many, like 5-10 times) then it restarts.
Yhey... NoPluginsToday works!
Thanx a bunch bigruss!

is that a bug or what ?
I know a trick to restart your TFLO3D in a few clicks. If you have Wisbar Advance 2 installed, simply go to the control panel menu on the start menu and press 'Close all'. This will close all running programs running in the background including Manila.exe which will then re-appear.
Besides the Diamond looks a lot better with Wisbar Advance 2 and the skin of enCORe called Prot'n OB green skin, it matches with HTC green bars
