Does anyone know how to map the "OK" button (the one on the side next to the scroll wheel). I have practically no use for it. Or what about the ok button on the main face?
Its button five. Just go to settings, button and then select a different function for it.
I have SPB Pocket Plus and map that button to ALT TAB

button 5 is the voice button not the OK button.
I too would like to remap this button. I use Wisbar Advance and I could map the Close/Ok command of Wisbar to this button. Right now I have it assigned to the Comm. Manager button. but as the OK button is of little use to Wisbar it would be nice to us it.
Is it possable?
Try using PQzII. I have successfully mapped the ok button with it. The button code is hex 0x75 or decimal 117.
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm
Just put a line at the Program.ini:
"0","117","\Windows\VJOkButt.exe",""
yeah,
works great.
I used AE-Button before, but the nag screens were really annoying.
It is much easier using WkTask.
If you dont want to edit the Program.ini manually, here's a small tutorial
1. Download Install the appropriate PQzII*.cab file for your device
2. Right-Click(Tap&hold) on the uqly white Square at the Top of you screen and select setup.
if this does not appear for any reason, Start the PQzIISetup right from the Programm directory.
3. In the Setup, select the Program Tab.
4. Check "Use this function"
5. Click "Add"
4. Leave 'none' for the "Key" field, enter '117' in the "Code" field.
5. Enter the path to the programm which minimizes/exits your programms (for me this is \Windows\WkTask.exe"
6. Enter the parameter for the programm (for me this is /c)
(7). If you want to remove the ugly white square select the icon tab and uncheck "use this function"
8. Save Settings with "OK".
9. If you want to startup PzII automatically after device startup, create a shortcut to the exe in \Windows\Startup
Hope this helps you
regards,
Tobias

I've had a look at a few programs and they all require command line changes to set up specific option. I have no idea how to get this to work with WM5.0 and no ammount of Googling and forum searches has helped. I know what to do in a desktop environment but there is no option for mobile based applications. Can anyone tell me how to add command line options to a program or shortcut on WM5.0?
total commander
Thanks
EDIT: NVM me a fool...
if you just want to launch an app with command line hold down the action key (the one in the middle of the d-pad) then long-tap the clock / battery icon area on the top bar. Release the action button and a popup menu will appear giving you the "RUN" option just like on a desktop PC.

Oh, wow! That is a very handy bit of information!
Sorry to bring up such an old thread, but I haven't been able to get this d-pad trick to work (in WM6.1). The app just opens as soon as I press down the center button. I've also been trying to do it through Total Commander but I haven't been able to figure out where to specify the options. I've been at this for two days. Can someone please point me in the right direction so I stop feeling like an idiot? Thanks.
I'm looking for the code, dll, or application location that locks the keypad on wm phones. I'm looking to map one of my keys to lock the keypad whenever pressed. I thought the lock functionality on wm phones was an application but tons of searching turned nothing up.
Specifically, I have a t-mobile dash (htc s620) and want to map my t-zones key to lock my phone by editing the \Windows\short_IE.lnk file which controls the key's mapping
lock app
im looking for that too did you find it?
the closest i got was this:

Hey, you can use the star key and it will lock your phone. Also holding the end call key will lock your phone. Additionally if you want to download the new 3volution ROM by Ookba on the Dash/Excalibur forum it comes with a built in keylock that locks the keypad after 10 seconds of inactivity. If you come post over in the Dash forum I'll hunt you down an app to solve whatever problem you have.
I figured out how to do this:
1) Find the DeviceLock.exe in windows/
2) Tap and hold on the EXE file, and select Copy from the context menu that popped up.
3) Navigate to Windows\Start Menu and you will see your current start menu programs in that folder. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and tap and hold in white space (a blank part of the screen below all other programs), then choose Paste Shortcut. This will place a shortcut in your start menu. You can then rename the shortcut to whatever you choose.
Then you can go an modify the button mappings in settings and select the new shortcut you created in the start menu and you're done.

In WM6.0 Pro I didn't had the DeviceLock.exe on windows folder. so I had to use the cab above.
Still I don't get it why in a Samsung Omnia with WM6.1 you can lock the keyboard by pressing for 2 seconds the end call button and on HTC P3600 with WM6.0 the end call button doesn't do that.
Hi, can anybody suggest me a screen rotating application where I can choose the applications & also things like dialer, lock screen, email, messaging etc. manually, that I want to rotate.
And before any1 asks me to use changescreen, I have already used it, but the interface is really poor. Can't understand a damn thing on how to choose specific applications & utilities to rotate...
I use MobileMagic to rotate the screen and launch applications via rotation of the screen ...
you find here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2948939&postcount=1
to add applications in change screen
then proceed as follows:
Press on "show name apps"
opens a dialog box and press ok
on each application that you open up the name of it, choose an application, go changescreen, press on "stop", press on "exception", press to top on "add"
and the string that appears check the program name you've seen before ...
forgive me for my bad English ..
I hope that I explained the best possible
If you are using new manila V2.0 or V2.1 you already have a build in screen rotating program just need to add programs to the white list
G-Config
in other hand I use Change Screen very nice and stable application

Is it possible to assign to xpanel button switching between programs? i don't use this button and this option would be great for it i think.
p.s
don't redirect me to thread where is written how to assign exe to xpanel button
Hah found how to do it I will write tutorial maybe someone need it.
1. We need software called AltTab.exe
Download and put in Windows directory
2. Take any registry editor and go to ( thanks to jackleung )
HKLM\Software\SonyEricsson\PanelManager\ApplicationName
and Change it to \..\Windows\AltTab.exe
3. Nothing more now xpanel button switches between running programs
amazing.
Will test this now.

yes, you have to reset your system, but NOT the "hard" way...
go to \windows\startup and delete the panelmanager.lnk in there. do a softreset. now change the reg-key like mentioned above. do NOT press the x-panel-key!!! (you can use any program-file, i use it for starting comm-manager)
one more softreset and you're done.
the reason for this is:
if you press the panel-key the first time after flashing a rom, a .lnk get's put into the startup-folder, starting panelmanager with every boot and overwriting any changes to the reg-key you may have made. (kinda like autostart on your pc)
Inspired!
Not only got rid of the panel manager, but can also cycle through open apps.
However... it seems to cycle through just 2 apps. If 3 or more applications are open, it will just cycle through the last 2.
I followed the instructions as above - maybe there is another tweak?
Try installing TaskFacade and assigning the X-button to it. Really nice program, all cred goes to GPS-lover.

Use the fist state on the camera button instead. That isn't used for anything anyway. Assign alttab.exe with AE Button Plus. I use it with double tap on the button so I don't press it by mistake. When entering the xperia camera it works as usual. So you don't need to worry about that.

If you press Xpanel button fast it will switch between other apps.
I loved TaskFacade
If you want to assign TaskFacade to Xpanel - you just write \TaskFacade\TaskFacade.exe
fantastic, thanks a lot to vladimired and caliban2! Now I can finally switch between programs (and also turn to the today screen) with the X-Panel button and close programs quickly with the OK button.
For this I do not use TaskFascade. I prefer the app switcher from Spb Pocket Plus. If you use this program, just copy the AltTab.exe in the folder ...\programs\PocketPlus into the windows folder like mentioned above. The rest is similar.
Im kinda lost, can you post clearer instructions on how to do this with the tab.exe and taskfacacde, thanx
Here is video how everything works with TaskFacade
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bw1dIW-YBLA
i will write more detailed manual lately today, if my work will not swallow me
TaskFacade its the best aplication i have in my x1a thanx
TaskFacade is a very nice app, but it does take some time for the images of the open applications to appear.
I'm after speed... compared to TaskFacade, it's faster to go to the Manila home page and click on the "OK" button area, and then switch as necessary.
That was the benefit of AltTab... but it'll only cycle through 2 open applications
I've installed Ae Buttons but i don't figure what button from the menu is the X Panel button? Any ideea?
I want the x panel button to open the panel manager when pressed short, and another program when pressed long.
Cheers!
Edit: I found this: Press File->Add button and press the button. The X-Panel button code: #00EA. Now i try to make it work on long press
Later Edit: Done. If you select from the drop down menu and chose "4.Long press" you can choose an action. I thought that if i select "4.Long press" , the "1.Single press" will become inactive, but i was wrong. Now my Xperia is Perfect
Hi all,
i'd like to inform You about small application that could be useful with changing mapped x-panel button:
RWA - Run With Argument - 1.0
small application that allows to run any other *.exe file with arguments...for some reasons it can be useful especially when working on HTC devices...
so we bind XPanel to RWA, and in RWA for ex. tmail.exe with SMS argument... to we get SMS Inbox under XPanel Button
and that's all... maybe somebody could find it as an useful application ...
XDA Thread Link
thank you!!
thanks to vladimired for this trick, very usefull
i set XPanel Button with TaskFacade (that looks like a Panel Manager ) and it works fine
I was wondering is it would be possible to remove the "phone" and "camera" button on the bottom of the home screen on my TP2, actually replacing those would be better ?
Thanx

Have you searched?
Softkey & reassign would brought you to this link:
Edit Registry below, you can modify first page of TF3D Soft Key. I don't know about other page yet.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)
HomeLSKArguments - Argugement of application you'll be calling
HomeLSKPath - Path to program with in "" i.e. "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"
HomeLSKText - text of the button.
HomeRSKArguments
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
(Credits go to sudsboy)
(Crosspost with Gordon, I've searched too long )
Use Advanced Config 3.3
It has the option under Menu/More options/Key mapping
You will need .net 3.5 installed to make this work tho
Thanx Jimllfixit, it's much less complicated than starting to play in the registry.
