- I Created a shortcut "mousemode.lnk" into \windows\start\programs
- I edited the shortcut mousemode.lnk as below : "\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
This work just perfect for me ... and another thing what I have done, its I bind the button to activate it .. and its works aswell ...
Yep this way is working nise .. i also binded the link to HW button ..
So, if I understud it well, I have to bind to a hardware button. It doesn´t work just like a icon ???
Worked a treat for me as a shortcut, no go bound to a hardware button though- still my hardware buttons are precious, my precious, they are reserved for the greatest of the great functions - it's easy enough to hit the start key and select mouse mode!
Thanks for another great tip!

I agree, it may be a pretty standard cursor file so it could be possible, a desktop sized cursor on a mobile device seems insane! I'm not sure I'd know where to begin modding it though.

I tried this step but everytime i tap the icon on windows\start menu\programs
(icon with link ..windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE) It open me a mouse mode enable page.. rather than automatic on and off the mouse mode..
It is possbile to make is auto just click.. on and off.
Please advise thanks
Back to this shortcut ... it work for me just as a shortcut in start menu. I copied it to \windows\startmenu\Programs .. When I attached it to hardware button it didn´t work ... but I´m happy with this start menu solution too... because I can now turn of this HTC Home today plugin

When You read all reply then you find where was problem with this shortcut when you made it in ppc totalcmd. The totalcmd put the first comma to the end of line and this was the problem as I wrote it in previous reply (#8)

Simply use Total commander and browse to the MouseMode.exe shortcut you created earlier with your highlight (don't tap on it). There is a green icon on the bottom of screen. Click it and start editting the shortcut. Save and exit total commander. Remember the soft-resets after registry editings. Enjoy
Thanks, victoradjei
Will do.

It is possible to switch the mouse on/off through a hardware button, however it does not work by linking a shortcut to that button. You don't need any extra program either, all it takes is a little tweaking in the registry.
This is an example of how to use the camera button for turning the mouse on/off (personally I don't use the camera), but of course you can use another key as well:
Open the registry and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C5/
There you will see some keys, of which Default is one of them. Open Default and change whatever is there to
"\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
Close the registry and you're done.
If you want another key, it is the same procedure, but replace the '5' in the above description (40C5) by another number.
You guys are talking over my head. All I did was install new menu, fond on this forum and create a shortcut from there. I press the right soft key select "mouse" select enable mouse mode.
New menu is a very useful app for loads of other stuff aswel, you all should have it.

My Keyboard is map to French Azerty and I put french dictionnary (.lex) in windows directory .
Is there something to do on registry for sym key and word completion ? WM6 no more suggest me words
I ported rom from kaiser to vario and now I have exactly the same problem - word completition is enabled and doesn't work and sym key on my hardware keyoard does nothing - still nobody found the solution?
check sym.0409.txt (or other codepage)
that works..
I tried sym.0409.txt, sym.0405.txt and sym.txt but no success - sym file is ok, I used it on WM6 ROM without any problems

Sounds like one of the Vanila Roms. Find out what ROM your using. Its possible the rom being used has it removed (Vanilla ROM).

Assign CommManager to hardware button...

How can I assign the CommManager function to a hardware button?
After installing the latest official WM6 ROM from HTC (version 3.13.404.1 NLD) on the HTC P3300, the CommManager app does not show up in the "Assign to:" list, neither for hardware buttons nor for the Start menu.
Does anyone know how to change this in the registry? Thanks from a noob.
Hi Bas,
You can assign any program to the buttons that is shown in programs. What is shown in programs: The so-called shortcuts which lie in the folder \windows\start menu\programs - for a localized ROM, there is a translated foldername for this, like \windows\startmenü\programme in the german version, you need to look for this in your nld-rom. So first You need to create a shortcut in this folder which points to the application \windows\commmanager.exe . The easiest way is to use SK-Tools which can handle this task automatically.
Regards,
TG.

Is it possible to add "ä, ö, ü" to english keyboard?

Hello everybody,
I have a problem and hope so much, somebody can help me...
Im from Germany and have bought a TP2 with english Keyboard Layout (QWERTY).
When I change settings to German Layout, all the FN-Symbols on the Keys are wrong...
Is there a chance to add only "ä ö ü" to the english Layout?
If possible, on the "a o u" Keys (with FN)?
You are my last hope...! ;-)
Greets,
blowy666
Im not sure but i think you can use this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=554240
Thanks....have installed it, but couldnt find the "Keyboard config"...
Have installed Spb Mobile Shell 3.5.....
This .cab changes fn + a to ä, fn + s to ö and fn + d to å. Im sure there is a easy way to change the å to ü...
This also adds scandic letters to the soft kb. If you want to try to change the å to ü, check and edit ET9RHO~1.001 file.
Thaaaanks....but I think it would be better to have "ö" on FN "O", "ä" on FN "a", and "ü" on FN "u"...
But looks like it is impossible...
Hi,
first of all: congratulations! You're owner of one of the best Phones ever build.
And yes, theres a way to add ä,ö and ü to youre Keyboard:
Use a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles
Look what filename there is written after the "07FF". (eT9.Rhodium...)
Then you have to use Total Commander or a similar file manager.
Go to the Windows folder, and copy the file to any other folder you like.
Open this file with the normal file manager and Change the Settings to the following:
in Row 2:
{U U.... to {U U U Ü Ü 0x06}
{O O... to {O O O Ö Ö 0x08}
in Row 3:
{A A ... to {A A A Ä Ä 0x0a}
copy the file back in the Windows folder and softreset. Finished.
PS: If you want to have the full german keyboard layout, simple change the filename in the Registry editor at position HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles
"07FF" to eT9.Rhodium.0407.kmap.txt and softreset. You have then the full german keyboard layout.
Hope I could help you.

Look here is an Old Thread but work perfect
Thanks for helping me but its not working here because y can only in to the register whit a simpel reg editor from my pc and edit the following things:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
And y cant find any rule there what y need, there is no "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Welcome" in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
So y think because the "align screen" setup is not finisched there is no map "welcome"
Its crazy here because all y can find whit touch or something else in the register ym deleted and stil after reboot ist start in the align screen.
So its looks like 1 way to the trashcan here.
Ym glad to have my HTC touch Polaris here but my BA dont deserves like ending this way.
