First of all, pleases post in the roms thread
Second of all, get Advanced config, and use it to set the keyboard language to English from the AT&T setting
Advanced config can be downloaded from here

nope not on the orbit
think you'd be clever but you deserve to hit the door or derserve a slap for that
orbit doesnt have that option
anyone..
Every orbit I've seen works as the previous poster explained.
Sure you're not just being a little stooooopid?
Yep definately a CAP key on mine too.
Are you using a Keyboard mod? eg. Happy tapping, if so it's SHIFT twice.
Hi aciforums,
Can you post us a screenshot of your keyboard please?
Does sound a little odd.
If you edit your name as I have written it you may no longer have a problem.

Sorry for unintentional misspelling ACIDFORUMS.
You may have gestures selected for your keyboard. Go to the keyboard options and then de-select "use gestures for the following keys". This seems to remove the CAPS key amongst others on mine anyway.

I've got a new Orbit and it doesn't have a CAPS key, only SHIFT even with gestures turned off. Although SHIFT twice works fine!
What works on all Win Mobile Version I know: Tap the Key you want to have as capital letter, hold the stylus down and slide up.
Press key - slide up - done!
The CAPS key seems to disappear when you have 'Large Keys' selected in the Input options.

OK BUtton?

I have searched and read almost every post regarding remapping of ok button.
Can anybody tell me if ok button on front side of hermes near call buttons and softkeys be remapped.
I am aeb buttons but it doesnt have option for it?
any thing else i can try?
I think ae buttons have the option to do what you want...
When you go to the configuration window where you can set the funtion to each button even that the front ok button is not listed there is an option of custom button or something like that, select that option, then pres the button you want (the fron ok) and then asign the function you would like to add...
Sorry I could not be more detailed but I only use this software for very few time because when instaled, the scroll wheel didn't respond...
hope it helps...
Regards
Mablan
As far as I know, nobody has published a way to do this. However, If you havent already, there is a way to hack the PTT button, which I use to change the volume. You can assign any function that you want for buttons 1-5 @ start-->settings-->personal-->buttons. There is also a cab in the hermes section to remap your softkeys. You may want to talk to Sleuth255 (he was the one who hacked the PTT) to see if there is a way to do this for the ok button.

Worked like a charm
100x thanx 2 u
i know this forum rocks
hi guys, i am also looking for something similar to this. i have noticed that when i press the ok button on the front, or on the keyboard that it only minimises the program rather than closing it. now the background behind that is i have HTC X button on LVSW 3.30.0.9 (soon to be 3.30.2.1). and that is set to close the program.
EDIT: i stand corrected. i just googled ae button and noticed it was a program. i shall try that and see how it goes.

I have been looking for something to do this since the Hermes dropped.. I would love to find a way to make a press on OK minimize the app and a hold on it to close the app.. Still nothing?
Edit: I second the edit above...
that one may be possible with a combination of x button and ae button.... i havent tried it and am still trying things with ae button. but it may be possible.
ok. i am using ae button now and have noticed a few things.
one. the memory manager is pretty cool
two. when i go to add the front ok button above the 'end' key, it comes up with button #4075. when i try to remap that as 'close active application' it does nothing. not even minimise it.
three. it works when i remap the internet key to 'close active application' it closes it completely.
four. the same happens when i add and try to remap the ok button on the keyboard to the same thing.
and five. i notice that the button #4075. the ok button on the front, says 'change volume or.... 1. close active application'
which is odd.
the rest of the remapping works well. except for added the ok buttons.

I780 and Smartkeys / AEButton Plus probelm

Hi, I recently bougth a Samsung i780 (italian unbranded), I would like to use the volume buttons as scroller, I tried both Aebutton and Smartkeys and both are working almost fine.
Almost...
With both the utility the smartphone hangs whenever I launch the camera app, no matter if I use a program shortcut or the HW button, no matter if the default camera HWbutton is enabled or not.
Any other user faced this problem ?
Any workaround found ?
Any other sw I can use ?
Thanks in advance.
hi. I have had EXACTLY the same problem as I have tried to do exactly what you have done with the volume buttons. sometimes it works and sometimes not. . (actually I couldn't figure out what was making the camera hang - u think its aebutton: could be...). the i780 is a great device, basically my tytn ii but faster. slimmer and a far better form factor. mouse ideas is novel but it does miss the directional arrow buttons.
anyway. I haven't figured out a fix yet, just wanted to show my support for your post!
Yep !
Exactly the same here ! Hope I will find a software that works !
Thanks for your interest, i hope some more skilled user(s) can help us to solve the problem.
In the meantime I'm go to ask some help to Alexander Eltsin (the author of AeBUTTON PLUS), but I'm afraid that the response will be the same as when I asked about the the treo 750 problem (no device in my hand, not a lot I can do).
on my treo 650 and 680 i could assign a shortcut to ANY key on my keyboard (long pusdh). Anyone know which software can do this?
PQZ II, a freeware, can remap buttons, works on volume and the camera button as ok, and the camera keeps on working!! plus you can get more then one set of remapping using assigned alt and ctrl keys, really nice app, although buttons plus double, tripple press is great.
Also is there a solution to the mouse button not doing a long press to the "right click" menu like the regular dpad middle button or stylus long press? it's really annoying samsung not adding that, there are no direction keys so by default you cant even use the soft menu button because once you make a file it is executed.... nm PQZ solves this with the volume button, plus the annoying problem that the volume button works while device locked in pocket is also solved by this.
could you explain if its possible to remap the volume keys, using them has scroll???

If you got it working could you please tell me which cab you used?

can you show us how to configure it to remap volume keys to up/down?
Tested multiple version of PQz - it works and seem to be really powerful - unfortunately it is not able to catch the volume up/down on the I780. Any other key is recognized except volume up/down....
Ok managed to make it work (basically I've missed the flag to enable use of volume buttons).
I can confirm it works and doesn't broke the camera button!!
thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
The 0.0.8c version did not work but the 0.0.8 works very well on the i780 !!
It seems to be a very good software, with many possibilities (like AE button plus, perhaps with even more options) and it seems to take less memory
Very good, very cool.
Tks to sevet for your link ;

Configure the apps (you can launch PQzII_Setup in the installation folder):
- flag "enalbe volume key convert" in the Window section
- in the Code section flag "use this section" and add a mapping IN= VOL-U => OUT=UP, IN=VOL-D => OUT=DOWN
PQZ II is not working at all on my device! The only thing I get is a little white square wich opens in front on my device...
Anyone who has a clue how to fix this?
just read the docs....
you have to tap on the square until a menu popup

[Req/Solved] a light simple d-pad sip [09/11/08 compatible fngkb 2.1]

At present time, I use Calligrapher for writing, but becaused I missed a dpad, I created one with Calligrapher.
But it is a little bit too small.
I would like a bigger one, like from the standard Keyboard size with five keys: up, down, lift, right, enter in one line.
A light one should be great.
Using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479464 (fingerkeyboard
modified the skin as the attached picture
AEButton -> OK key :
single press = "spswitch FingerKeyb"
double press = "spswitch Full QWERTY"
attached is the zip with the skin and sipswitch

Thanks. Now I have to create my own skin.
Solved
thanks to jpl69 and creators of Fingerkeyb.
This is the best solution I've found so far to the lack of d-pad for Blackstone. Thank you! Most of my programs are now touch swiping anyway, but there's a few remaining *essential* apps which simply need the d-pad.
I'm using Rozenthal's FingerKeyboard, I'm mapping jpl69's spswitch file to double/triple press for ok key in AEBplus, and I'm using thierryb's skin.
The only problem is, that it takes ages for it to change sips and load it....what we really need is a standalone exe, not a sip dll that messes with your sips like this. Then we can map the exe it to hw button and it will just appear there at the bottom of screen.
So essentially I'm still hanging out for vijay555's mentioned d-pad app.
For me it takes roughly 1 sec to swith to it (except the first time)
I use htcextfun to switch from Calligrapher when my stylus is out to my dpad when my stylus is in.
Thanks for the skin for Fingerkeyb, but just a quick question. I normally use the dpad to navigate around Opera, but the problem is the SIP won't appear unless I'm entering text. Is there a way to make the SIP appear via hardware button?
how do you configure AE Button Plus to :
single press = "spswitch FingerKeyb"
double press = "spswitch Full QWERTY"

The request was in post one.
And the solution in post six.
If you read the post six you will find the solution and the way to do it.
how can I install the skin? thanks.
What have you already done or tried?
I put the skin file in the skins folder, and nothing. Then i erase the folder and create a new one whit the skin file in it, and nothing again...
this is exactly what you have to do:
-install fingerkeyboard
-copy my skin.txt in the skin folder
-activate fingerkeyboard
what happens when you activate fingerkeyboard?
I have a similar problem i think. put skin.txt in the skins folder, but when i activate fingerkeyboard, the keyboard shrinks to the correct height for the buttons (as per the image you posted), but i just get the top line of letters (qwertyuiop.... etc) instead of buttons.
using the new fingerkeyboard2, does that make a difference? was this skin written for an old version?

uninstall the old version. use the new 2.0 version. enjoy!
i am using the fkb in diamond and athena (the vga version) and on my hd. no problem at all! one of the greatest app ever posted here!
Think you misunderstood, I am using version 2.0, i've never used 1.4, so i don't have an "old" version to uninstall!! I've also tried reinstalling and resetting the phone.
same problem with both of the skins (jpl69's or thierryb's) in this thread, the keyboard size shrinks to the correct size to accomodate the buttons, but i just get either the top row of letters or the top 2 rows dependant on which skin i use!
Fingerkeyboard2 works perfectly as a normal keyboard, i just can't get the above skins to work.
Problems with getting dpad it working
Yes I am having the same problem as above. I'm only seeing a row of q w e r t y etc at the bottom at the same height as the row of navigation would be be. Everything is installed as best as I can tell.
I also am having trouble with finding a suitable button to use with AE button. I tried the phone (hard) key at the bottom left below the screen as it was the only one i thought i could do without. That didn't work. then i saw that the "ok" (green icon) button that you referred to was in the drop down list of buttons to map to link that (green). Is that what you are referring to as all the OK at the top right of the screen only closes/minimises the screen and what it did do was make my back (hard) button partially then fully close the Finger keyboard.
Can you please, please, please give more detailed instructions on what do to get it working on my touch hd. You have a such a GREAT idea but I (and maybe some others) just can't get it going without more details. Thanks in advance.

All I can say is press a little to the left of the keyboard symbol. You may need to use your nail to carefully tap the very left side of that keyboard symbol.
thanks mate. it works. fantastic. don´t know, why it didn´t work until now...

I myself got this issue as well. What worked for me is if I press the bottom most of the keyboard icon to get it to close. I pretty much have to press so far down I'm partially touching the middle of the zoom slider. That's what made it work for me.....
