B&B 4 - X Button issues - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hey Everyone.
Im having some problems with the XButton in toms new B&B 4.
It seems really uggy, when i try to press it with my thumb to close apps down, it just doesnt close things at all and acts like i did not press the button. But when i press it with the stylus, it works everytime.
Sometimes, when i press the x button when in programs such as contacts etc, it thinks that i just clicked the menu button in the bottom right, or starts thinking iv clicked on a contacts name. But again, when i tap x with the stylus, it works fine.
It seems to me that the "touchable" area of the x button is set to a small "stylus" sized touch. Not a larger thumb sized touch?
Anyone else with this problem?

same problem

read thru the B&B 4 thread. This issue of the X button has been addressed.

Ok - Read through the thread, even used search but could not find anyone stating this was fixed?
Could anyone point me to a post? I genuinly have looked through the thread.

Possibly solved this.
I downloaded and installed the latest HTC X-Button 1.51.
This *so far* has seemed to solve the x button issue.
The HTC X-Button 1.51 is attached, just copy to your device and run it.

Yep this has pretty much solved the x button issue for me.

In B&B 4 in the X Button options is selected by default "End programs by tapping and holding X". If you change the option to "End programs by tapping X" should be ok.

Hey
No it wasnt that. It just wasnt letting me tap the x button at all with my thumb. like i said, it worked fine with the stylus.
Anyways, updated to xbutton 1.51 and it seems to have done the trick.

hi mates!
i have flashed the B&B 4.0 fom tom_condon (Great Great work dude!!!!) and updated the htc X-Button to the last version and have a problem:
some of the icons of top right of the screen just disapear. You can't see them but they still there (you can tap them).
Take a look to the screenshot and you will see what I mean (because if you have to understand my english, you're in big troubles )
thnx in advance
P.D. Sorry again for my poor english

whats xbutton version?
The one i posted? You should soft reset the device after installed.

Rotate-screen shortcut?

I would like to make a one-touch shortcut to rotate the screen from portrait to landscape (and back), or at the very least a way that is easier than going through the screen settings menu on my XDA Orbit. Any suggestion please? It's so that I can us ethe wider screen whilst running tomtom6.
Thx
Pete
i've got mine on the button to the left, i believe it is for voice contact but I never use it.
start - settings - Personal - buttons - button 6 <rotate screen>
Yep cheers smasma, I found that when I went to set my buttons up after upgrading to wm6. Cheers for the reply!

What choices of other ROM are there for my Orbit?
toms B&B v4 at the mo till v4.1 is realeased but im sticking with v4 does me
my avitar is my screen on my orbit
nice huh?
Aye I might try that. I have to down-grade my rom to WM5 first yes? From reading-up I take it I can do that without having to unlock the cid, since I have the o2 WM5 rom? Just a case of flashing it down?
i flashed to wm6 then tried to go to toms rom didnt work
downgraded to wm5 o2 rom then using uspl did the B&B rom
worked a treat
This cab puts a screen rotation icon on lower part of screen. You tap on it, and screen rotates. I ´ve tested it only under WM5

Doesn't seem to work on an O2 Orbit with WM6. Installs OK, but no icon appears.
Sorry! My mistake. Requires a reset after installation. Many thanks.

Tab scrolling in HTC Home 2.1.1005722

Greetings-
I had been a Schap's 4.01 user, as it came out a day or so after I got my 8525. I recently upgraded to 4.22, and love it, but I have found what most people probably consider an enhancement is driving me nuts.
In 4.01, and thus the old HTC Home, the scroll wheel did not scroll through the HTC Home tabs. Now, in HTC Home 2.1.1005722, it does. This basically means I show my ringer settings (right most HTCH tab) at the top of my screen every time I scroll down to check my other today plugins, and it's kinda ruining a simply great ROM for me.
I mentioned this in the 4.22 thread, and said I'd check out HTC Home Customizer - it has a Lock HTC Home option, but it doesn't seem to fix my gripe either way when set. I figure that thread isn't getting much action now because of the 4.30 release, so I'd make my own thread, as this may affect others using HTC Home and being picky about their home layout.
Is there a registry key I'm missing that controls this, or a way to downgrade just HTC Home back to the version included in Schap's 4.01?
Thanks to the schapmeister and the forum gurus-

Hi, had same prob. but is strangly gone now.
Don't know the real fix (Also want it),
but I changed the order of the Tabs round
a few times and now it does not scroll anymore. (Yipee!!!! )
At the moment I have my Tabs set like this:
Home->Favorites->Launcher->Weather->Music
with NO scrolling, only touch screen.
Please PM me if you somehow find the REAL fix.
Hmm, I will keep trying it, but even this temp fix isn't getting me quite there.
There was one config i found that only scrolled through 2 tabs, but then i didnt like the order of them to touch

[Theme] [PocketCM Keyboard] v1.11 [3/16/2009]

A PocketCM Keyboard .23+ WVGA theme I made for the large of finger so you can worry just about what you want to say instead of trying to spend all your time pecking at each key and getting it right.
Features:
Virtual D-Pad
Long press on any letter to get uppercase.
Long press on almost any key for quick access to similar symbols.
Shift button is caps lock.
I made every key as large (tall (with big layout and wide)) as possible.
Has larger room for correction / allowed mistakes than standard keyboard to allow for less pickiness on large screen (WVGA).
Landscape finally works.
English qwerty.
Optimized as much as possible (including all images) for speed and size of theme.
Hold "!" for "!! "
Hold "?" for "?? "
Hold "," for ".com"
Hold "$" for "€"
Only bugs / quirks I'm currently aware of:
Not sure of what the height for landscape should be. (If you are using a full screen app (such as PocketCM) the current height is great, otherwise..it takes up pretty much the whole screen. Easy to change. Go to settings.ini, and change the last value from 27p to something more like 23p.)
Correction currently will not go through when any symbol is entered. Suggestion will go through only when the following are pressed immediately after a word is entered
space
!
@
Based off Tene's dream theme, so looks are the same.
Credits to of course tene and and also zard for assistance with the virtual keys.
Credits also to MrHawaii of PPCGeeks for a few ideas.
UPDATE 3/16/2009 V1.11
Started over from scratch.
Removed "Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space)." temporarily until I hear further from Tene on how to make it work more correctly.
Made suggestion 19% more forgiving, allowing for 19% further displacement from correct key. Think that is the farthest I will go, though I can bump it up if requested.
Suggestion will currently (until I hear from tene on how to fix it) only go through on the following
space
!
@
UPDATE 3/11/2009 V1.1
Added:
Hold comma key for ".com"
Auto - double space inserted when period, exclamation mark, or question mark pressed.
Hold space bar for ". " (period and double space).
Fixed:
Correction now goes through even on ?!.,
(Isn't actually as blurry as it looks on the thumbnail)
PCMK can be found at pocketcm.com
Updated. Small fixes and enhancements. See OP.
Thanks!
Use it on my Touch HD and its working fine!

Good to hear thx. Just re-uploaded, realized there was a small typo in the settings file, causing the "hold "!" for "!! " not to function.

That really all the information you're gonna give?
Lets have some details
What your default language is, what your screens resolution is (I'm not familiar enough w/ the omnia), what options you have selected in pcmk, a screenshot of the problem, what version of pcmk you are using, etc..

Omnia I910 screen resolution 240x400
Options in pcmk are @ default

actually the more I look at it Im going to guess it cant be moved as its stuck to the top of the text window.. would the adjustment of the last value in the setting.ini you mentioned above help this?
sorry for the lack of info prior..
tnx

Yep that's what's going to do it for you is just the height. I have it set for my device right now. The text box can't be moved / resized (except by tene), but if you lower the height of the whole keyboard then you should be good, I would recommend 24 or so.

Shift Key Graphics
Thanks .. this is a great theme!!
I see Shift key and up arrow key similar.. I just wanted to change shift key graphic to display "Sft" words in Image. I replaced shift.png in zip folder but it didnt work. How can I do this?
Message removed - posted in wrong thread.
Hi Jim,
Thanks for such a great theme! It's by far my favorite.
I was just wondering if you have released a new version of it since V1.11?
I'm not sure if I've found a bug, but, I've noticed that when I use any kind of punctuation (period, question mark, etc) it seems to be added to the beginning of the last word entered. For example instead of "I am home now.", I get "I am home .now". Is this behavior by design, or am I doing something wrong?
Thanks!
ima noob. how do you get your skin to take affect?
Just copy the zip file into the PCM Keyboard folder in Program Files, then in PCM k\'s option choose my theme and then the suitable layout.

[REQ] Zoom-Bar emulation for Touch HD

Hi everyone....
I´m currently using Duttys ROM 2.6 (love it!!) with my Touch HD. The New HTC Album application ist really great and fast but features only one zoom-Option by double tapping on the Display...
This is because HTC integrated a special Zoom-Bar to zoom Pictures, website etc with their new devices (works great on on the Diamond 2 by the way...)
Since the Touch HD does not have real HardwareButtons but virtual buttons I´m wondering if it´s possible to turn these buttons into a kind of zoom bar, since the whole area below the display seems to be touch-sensitive...
I´ve used a similar software with my Touch Diamond (gscroll), so I´m wondering if there´s a way to do something like that with the Touch HD...
Best regards from Germany...
Hey m8 just make a circle around that portion of the picture you want to zoom (cw to zoom or ccw to unzoom) its simple. No need for wheels
he is talking about the new version. in the new htc album version there is only one fixed zoom available. circles dont work anymore, because you instantly move the picture. the helps tells about a zoombar to use, but there is no displayed. i have no clue how to zoom in more than only this standard zoom
+1 for this! I agree an onscreen zoom bar similar to opera 9.5 woud be useful;-)
...not good...
I the new album really faster then the old one... If NOT - use the old album... I post you the EXE file.
A good idea is to use a "slide over the 4 buttons" on the front of our HD to simulate a zoom in/zoom out effect.
I think there will be soon a solution for this. There must be a solution, because if not: then we, old HD 1 users, will not be able to use the new HTC applications
I dont want to change to the old Album since the new one is definetly faster when switching between Pictures and the Picture panning feature when zoomed is really good... I´d just love to be able to zoom a little better
So I´ll keep reading the Post to get all the fancy new Stuff for my HD
Hey Animaster,
,can you please post the NEW Album exe
You convinced me AND I think I cna do something about the zooming problem (not sure now... but maybe...)
look in the android topic, they where able to map 5 buttons to the bottom bar (if i rember corectly) maybe that can give you a starting point

There is noone (!!!) who could remap the HOME button on the bottom bar of our Touch HD, and I'm sure i cannot either...(yet )
I thought about something simpler! When the active (front) process is named HTCAlbum.exe or OperaL.exe I can map the Volume UP and Volume DOWN buttons to the ZOOM routine! This is pretty simple to do, but will be ok
so please post the new ALBUM EXE

ok friend . I say that I think focusing on create an onscreen zoom slider like opera for new htc album is more easier to try to make an app that use mapping of hardware keys to zoom in htc album like hd2
. do you see now ?
Y don try out the resco photo manager v7?
It has the zoom bar and autorotate function as well.

[q] cht v2.1 .. ????

Hi All,
It'e been 3 months since release of CHT 2.0 ..
I have a hTC HD Mini. and I use CHT with HVGA Port.
I found some very minor bugs while using it. I am not sure if it is due to the porting or not.
One of the bug: If I turn off the phone screen when I am on Music Tab and then turn it on again ... when I unlock the screen I find the "Library" and "Menu" option at the bottom disappeared .. instead .. there is "Phone" and "Menu" option as if I am on my Home tab. Does anyone else face the same problem ?
I hope these bugs will be resolved in the next version ... and I want to ask when should we expect the CHT V2.1 ?
Thanks.
dude CHT 2.0 thread is HERE
so ask THERE!!!!

Hola, I would not expect any update or new releases of CHT in the near future ,-) Maybe we should ask and help Tummy to finish the HVGA Port of CHT instead of asking for further releases of CHT
Regarding your issue when turning your screen off.... I just checked it and don´t have your problem. I use CHT Lockscreen, so when I push the upper button (for screen off, lock, long press device off, etc...), my screen turns off, but doesn´t lock my device.... which is what I want Pushing it again, it turns screen back on where and how it was before...
