Hi,
I have an odd issue on my Dash. I upgraded to Ricky's ROM several months ago. Everything has been great except for a small issue with my keyboard mapping.
When I press and hold down the "," key, I get repeats of "," not ";" as I used to
Same for "." .... I get repeats instead of ":"
All the other keys work fine.
Any ideas what I can do. Maybe a small remapping issue?
Thanks,
D

So did you get it working?
Basicly what he's saying is that if you hold down any other key for a second it elimates the need to press the fn key except with those 2 keys. I noticed the same thing today.

Yes we know I think we all have this little quirky feature, not a biggie...
Fact is, it used to work.

Along the bottom of the phone there's a home button and an endcall which, within programmes, seem to do the same thing - take you back to the today screen. Or, in my case the 6.5 CHome thingy. And the back button in most apps takes you to the home screen too - so that's three buttons largely doing the same thing most of the time.
The new phones with 6.5 preinstalled will have a windows-flag start menu button, I assume this will open up the new hexagony start menu.
Is there a way of remapping the home button so it launches the start menu instead?
That is EXACTLY what I have been thinking for the last days. Pressing Home-key should naturally bring up the start-menu.
Nice idea, even because reaching the top left corner with your right thumb(maybe for left handed it's easier ) while holding the HD with the right hand is a little bit tricky
I'd like something small to do this but I have a feeling most people will return with the suggestion "use aebplus to remap"
I have the same feeling wiggz, There must be a registry key or something that can be changed and put into cab format? Anyone got any ideas?
Me to
So, we are many!!
I too have been looking for a way to do this for ages.
I too will be watching this thread with interest and hope.

No aeblus cannot map the home button as it's hard coded into manila!

so as the home button is coded into manila it mean's one has to play with the manila files and remap to start menu all that would mean is to change some scripts!!
bottomline Home button in theory can be mapped to the start menu!! so it's plausible!!!
i'm going to watch this thread as well --- i've been looking for this since I got hold of my HD. I've already remapped the "back" button to S2U2 via AEB since you are correct, essentially the home, back, and end buttons all work very similarly.
Hoping that someone posts a solution to this!
i have the solution...install this program and you can change all the hard keys to do almost any function...i have mine set up to do the exact same thing that you want it to do!!
cheers!!

Thanks,but could give more informations to remap keys,please ? The list is empty when i launch the application ...
Same here. I was so happy when I found this thread..
When I tried installing that, it did not work... Maybe it was my ROM.
There are REG keys that remap home in certain cituations, i.e. manilla but I have yet to find a way to get the reg key to do anything else.
The new keypad.dll maps it to a normal vk_lwin, so you can remap it as you like.
Unfortunately I have not yet seen it an any ROM.

It is for Diamond and the author says here post 10 "For the touch HD, maybe you should download HTCAPI.DLL somewhere, put it in /Windows and try again". Haven't read the whole thread though so not sure if this is what the problem is.
i know its a little confusing to get it started...so heres what you do...install cab, go to program files\dredsensor and click on dredsensor.exe and a config.ini will appear...now close out whatever app you are using to view files...and open dredsensor...now you will see default under name...tap default and then click menu, then edit...change type to launcher...then go to click and tap the gray box next to the home key...go to events and chose Misc:Start, hit select, hit ok to comfirm, change whatever others you want to...then hit save, then hit ok to confirm...then hit exit...then you should be good to go...hope this helps!!

Hello,my opinion : if you post something in blackstone thread it's normally compatible with this pda , no ?
Edit : i build this cab for our HD and now it works ! Don't forget to do a soft reset .

Enter usually works as OK/Submit/etc
yeah I miss the "ok" button. used to it from teh Tilt & MDA.
I'd rather have that than the "Messaging" button.
So.... what registry hack will let me change that key???

Exactly, That would be very nice of someone could do a hack for that key if its possible!
Waiting too... AEB Plus maybe could do it, have not tried.

Yeah I was confused, didn't realise you were talking about the OK option on dialogues.
The "Back" button is the OK button. Believe me, I was a hardcore addict to the OK button my Wing. This is the exact same thing.
Although it's a real pain trying to reach for it while the keyboard is open...

HES RIGHT! Good thing to know just tested in creating a contact and exiting the media browser on nitrogen and a few other things.
Someone few months ago posted the same query and got a reply to do a registry entry edit. It worked great. Now I have upgraded the ROM and cannot find that thread or any solution.
I know it was a registry edit that had to be done in order for other hardware keys to also be enabled to bring the TP2 out of stand by instead of just pushing the power button.
anyone knows which registry needs to edited?
Thanks

If you want to wake up TP2 by any hardware keys, please try:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD
"KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then Reset..
or you can try this app that seems to work on all C phones: http://www.fuzemobility.com/wake-up-your-fuze-without-the-power-key/
Here's the file from the other post.. Appears to be just a copy from the Tilt, and just modifies the registry as mentioned above.
I was actually going to suggest running this program, but looks like it wasn't included in the Fuze onward I guess!

Any way to make the T Mobile Function key work? I've been searching everywhere.
+1...i have been trying to get this to work also
Yeah. I just want to be able to type question marks and quotes without having to slide in the keyboard and do it via onscreen keyboard
< and > symbols would also be awesome if they could be hardcoded some how. They arent even symbols on the keyboard even on Win Mo but I would love to have them, especially if this Ubuntu thing works great. I do lots of HTML / PHP so... PHP coding on the TP2 would be pretty sick Kinda hard to do without < or > symbols. Could use { and } too
try the ctrl key. im pretty sure that worked for me
the CTRL key makes an '@' sign.
Are any of you using the T-Mobile RHOD210 rootfs.img with keymap? That should hopefully map all the RHOD210's keyboard keys correctly.
Yeahhh, that thing doesn't work.
So yeah, it's not the FN key, it's the ALT key -_-.
Anyways, hitting ctrl just makes an @ sign. ALT does nothing. Shift works.
My keymap is set to Rhod210..
What do I do :'(
thanx for the info but it will work on android????

Hi.
I have a norwegian touch pro 2, which means my keyboard is a bit "strange"and have theese weird æøå buttons. I don't need those to work, but my Fn key, neither my ctrl key (which is placed where your Fn key is placed at the lower left) will not give me access to any Fn function keys like / ! () etc. Is this a know issue? Is there a way for me to fix this?
Ps. Thanks a lot for porting Android to TP2. Except for this and GPS all my needs are satisfied, and Android is so much better to use than WM6.5. So thanks a bunch guys, going to make a small contribution as soon as I get my first paycheck next month
