Hi everyone,
is it possible to put shortcuts on HW Keyboard on BA? For example, I'd like to open a new SMS without using the stylus...
Thank You in advance. Bye

Get SPB Pocket Plus. That'll do the trick
Am I missing something here?
Your Blue Angel has a little silver Messaging button, it's the second one from the left under the screen. I press that then use the dpad...
With the silver button you can open the program, but you do not automatically open a new message (unless you change the button's settings)
With Spb I managed to put an icon on the today screen to open a new SMS. Now I can access the icon with the arrows without using the stylus (thank you!).
But I meant something slightly different. I'd like to put shortcuts directly on the BA's keyboard: to set combinations of keys that give access to specific programs or files... Even with Spb I didn't manage to do it.
Thank You for your help. Bye

how did you manage to add a shortcut to your new messages on the today screen using spb?
In Spb settings I went to the today plug-in options -> objects -> add -> file (I hope the translation is correct since I refer to the italian version...).
Then I added the file \windows\start menu\programs\spb pocket plus actions\[new message].ink

You can also add this shortcut to harware buttons through SPB.
Go to SPB options\buttons and add the shortcuts you need.
Then go to start\settings\buttons to assign these shortcuts to hardware buttons

Thank you again, helterskelter!
But my problem's that I'm not able to assign shortcuts to the BA's keyboard buttons. I can only choose (I think) among the 9 HW buttons. Bye. fabbor75
Hi, Guys
Great job on all the different ROMS.
Is it possible to set the screen orientation for specific applications. ie stay in standard portrait mode, but say I open email or tom tom. I would like the screen to change to landscape automatically and when I exit the program the screen to revert back to portrait mode. If not does any one know of an app that can do this.
cheers
That has to be written into the application.
It used to be an option in Tomtom 5, but it was a feature that was removed for Tomtom 6.
Opera browser will landscape independantly of the OS.
Sadly developers have have starting thinking that as screen rotation is available from Windows, they don't need to add it to their applications.
I'm not aware of any extra application that would monitor other opening applications and switch the display accordingly.
thanks for the quick reply. Guess I will have to manually change before opening.
just find this:
wisbar advance 3

I assigned the internet explorer button (bottom right) to "rotate screen".
thanks for the post,
Pete - seems to be the best solution without having to install extra apps. cheers
sorry if this has been asked...i can't find the answer with the search option.
anyways, i was wondering how can i remap the contacts button on the lower right part of the my today screen to launch a different program? I want to use icontacts and have it launch when i push the standard contacts button on the lower right side. I don't really want to use a program like claunch just to put one custom shortcut on the mytoday screen. Thanks !
Hi all!
I use the WM6.5 ROM V64 (Core 23053) w/ LEO-MANILA/FOOTPRINT (thanks to PDAVIET).
I would like to remove the awful WM volume controler and replace it by the HTC volume controler. I do not want to use SetVolume application.
I remark that HTCVOLUME key does not exist (reg, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BOOtLauncher\Servic e). I creat the Key HTCVOLUME and creat module ="\Windows\HTCVolumeControl.dll"
When I make a soft reset, again the awfull windows is present.
What is the dll file is launching when the Awfull window is running???
No idea???
Thanks!
Can someon post a copy of the HTCVolume key service from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BOOtLauncher\Service or other?
I try to copy the same reg to my HD...
Regards!
here a picture of the awfull windows pop-up:
I second that!
I have been trying the same stuff...but to no avail
Seems to be an issue with WINMO BUILD 23053.
I finally gave up.
But I did find that if i use S2U2 ver 2.04 and use the VOLUME CONTROL in that app...it will override the horrible winmo volume control
so maybe the answer is there somewhere???
I do graphics though, not so good with registry...
Why search for registry settings to turn of the ugly Windows pop-up volume control when you can install the HTC Volume Control?
I believe there is one in Miri's Cab Repository : http://blog.celogeek.com/mobile/mobile-blackstone/mirror-for-miris-rom/
Don't know if that works, but I do know that it looks and acts way better!
ok Duncank, lets me try it and give a feed-back in minute! Well, but do you know which reg key control Windows' pop-up???
No Duncank, it not changes the awfull windows pop-up??? The only things it changed it the volume icon in taskbar, the customised one is now replaced by the Windows standard...
no go
Yeah I tried that cab as well....doesnt help...
I asked Agent47 makes the Valkyrie ROMS for our xperias....he said he hasnt found a way in the newer builds...23047 and up
Its gonna have to be a reg setting...

Okay too bad, it worked in older windows 6.5 builds.
I don't know the keys for the windows volume pop-up, and I searched the registry for "volume" and the two most likely keys are "HKLM\Control Panel\Volume" and "HKLM\Software\HTC\Volumeoverlay"
But what exactly do you want to do with the registry-keys? Do you want to disable the standard windows volume pop-up? Because than you have nothing to change the volume with...
I think you have to search for something to replace the volumecontrols by. Most likely this will disable the standard pop-up too.
With the key (if exist), I would like to disable the pop-up... I make some changes in volumeoverlay, but result is the same.
I replace also the HTCVolumeControl.dll, same result also.
I am loooking for the dll file which are pointed for Windows control volume application and launching the pop-up windows.
I try the other key and give my feeedback as soon as posible.
LikeM8
HKLM\Control Panel\Volume points to Group reg with "4294967295" value, what it is mean????
I don't know
Instead of using the vol. control hard buttons, tap top left corner (where start button of taskbar used to be). You will note a pop-up menu. then tape in the middle soft button (square wm logo). Then you will see the 2 large Volume control bars
Also you can change its colors with HD Colored Volume cabs

this is what you all are looking for
you folks have just got to do with this cuz this is a known problem with the newer ms build... they havent implemented HTC volume control
yes, the application it's very useful.but the working volume in a call, depends by the rom. i'm using 23081 and working fine
tbh would still like to use the HTC one that is inbuilt. It is peculiar that hw buttons give the WM version, but the softkey (WM curtain button) gives the HTC one
any ideas?
ok, i'm not getting a response in q&a, so, sorry if this is in the wrong section...
anyone know if it's possible to assign a shortcut to the softkey action
(ie. the softkeys are different in word to those on the today screen, can i assign a shortcut to that action)
i use a bluetooth keyboard which can be configured to any shortcut. it would be real handy to be able to just hit a couple of keys rather than reach for the devices tiny screen everytime i want to activate the menu.
cheers
or even just to have the pop up menu in word would be real handy
cheers
anyone!???
