I'm starting to get used to this new trackball (RollR), but it is definitely different than normal cursor pads on most devices.
It's OK outside of gameplay. I tried the new Raging Thunder racing game on my P3300, and while it plays just fine performance-wise, the RollR ball is much too sensitive to be used for this game.
I also find it a bit more difficult to scroll in PIE with the new trackball and outside clockwise/counterclockwise scroller.
How does everyone else feel about this new feature?
I feel like I could get used to it, but you dont need to use the mouse all the time. Does anyone know of a way to attach the mouse toggle program to a hardware button.
for me at the beggining the feel was not very good but when i used to it i think now is a very good suprise.i can do all the works just in one hand very easy even serfing internet
another thing that is excellent for me is the wifi connecting distance.now i can go also to my second floor of my apartment and have internet connection
without a problem and this is something i could not do with my qtek 9000
so far i,m very happy for the device.
*my english is not very good hope you understand me

Copy the file \Windows\MouseMode.exe and paste a shortcut in the \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. Then go to Start - Settings - Buttons and set it on a hardware button
I'm definitely getting used to it after almost a week. Game playing is still a challenge with the sensitivity of this ball compared to a regular pad, though.

Thanks for the suggestion, but is there any way to skip that screen where you have to make an extra click. Its no so much a deal when activating the mouse, only when trying to turn it off.
What do you guys think of the scroll ring, or whatever the chrome part is called?
I really like using it to scroll through all of the messages in my inbox, or when browsing web pages, but it doesn't always work as expected. Some times it scrolls smoothly, and other times it jumps to the next link. Anybody figured this out?
If you go into HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCCPL\Applet8 you can change the value of CmdLine to SETMOUSEMODE and the icon in the cpl will start and stop with one press.

great my friend thanks a lot for that.....
now can you tell me how can we change the size of the cursor and put a smaller one?
To Dinario
I'am using it for 2 days and I agree with you. I don't find the wheel very useful and in fact I only use track ball with is more convenient with its 4 directions.
According to me, the wheel is only design for big jumps, and the trackball is more efficient for small jumps. But maybe in a few days we will take full control of this alien

I did that instead :
- I Created a shortcut "mousemode.lnk" into \windows\start\programs (for my french one it is "\windows\menu demarrer\programmes")
- I edited the shortcut mousemode.lnk as below : "\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
Now, I can quickly activate/deactivate the mouse mode by cliking the icon, and I still can edit the mouse settings in the control panel.
I can activate it with one click of the icon, but how do i do the same by clicking a hardware button. I've went into settings/buttons and assigned a key, but when i press it only takes you to the config page where you have check enable.
Has anyone any ideas please?
Thanks,
BPP
I hate exactly the same problem, if someone can help. Thanks

You must write inside the register
HKLM-software-microsoft-shell-keys
i.e. 40c1 then ab(default)
["\Windows\MouseMode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE] without the []
What registry program is used to do this?

Anyone knows how i can set rollr sensibility in "d-pad mode"?
does anybody know how to disable rollr on HTC P3300 by registry trick? I have some problems with it - sometimes it becomes mad and starts to scrolling the screen even when I am not touching it. It is absolutely impossible for me. Any help appreciated.
I thought I should share how I make use of the ring and the ball.
The wheel basically moves the highlighting position up and down on the screen (there is no left and right movement). When the mouse cursor is enabled, pressing the ball will mean pressing the location where the mouse pointer is pointing (not where highlighted). Hence, I am using a button-mapping software (AEBPlus) to get the benefits of both world:
- OK button becomes "enter"
- long pressing OK button becomes "close application"
- right softkey button becomes "move cursor to right"
- left softkey button becomes "move cursor to left"
- media key single press becomes left softkey
- comm manager key single press becomes right softkey
And, I have the mouse cursor always enabled. Generally moving the highlighting position by the wheel is easier than the mouse.
Hence, with this setup, I use the wheel most of the time to move the highlighting position to where I want and then I press the OK button to select it. When typing text, I use the right/left button to move around the typing position for editing, deletion, etc. I will use the mouse to point to those location where highlight can't go to, for instance, the input pad, or those icons at the top task bar ...
Therefore, it is now almost one-handed operation and I hardly need the stylus.
Cursor colours?
Anyone know how to change the colour/size of the arrow?
Hello all, I just got a T Mobile Dash yesterday and updated it to windows mobile 6.1. I never had a smartphone before and I must say, I like it better than my Iphone. The jogger works great but I was wonder if there is anyway to set the bottom jogger where if i double click it, it would scroll to the right side on a sliding panel. For example under the first sliding panel there is missed calls, history, text msg and other stuff, so double clicking the bottom jogger would allow me to scroll right rather then me using the d-pad right. I searched around here and found a thread on how to configure it for application launching but none for what i would like to do. I was hoping there is a easy way to do it under the jogger configuration. Thank you.
I know this is not exactly what you want but if you just push left on the d-pad once it will go backwards to the last item rather than going right a bunch of times.

Hi all,
Looking at my lovely Rhodium's start menu, I just can't understand why HTC has placed three icons on a row and not four. By looking at it, I think there's more than enough space to add an extra icon.
Anyone smart found a way to do this? In addition, why do we have to scroll downwards? Why not 'flick' through pages (aka the iPhone does, sorry for using this word here ), either up and down, or from left to right.
Now you must swipe and the menu 'rolls', but I much rather had a menu which I could flick and a 'second page' would appear. This would make scrolling a lot easier and faster!
Have been searching XDA for ages now, but I haven't found any solution to this yet. Anyone any ideas?
this works on TP2

Maybe a dumb question, but I can't seem to find a way to get an address bar with a bookmark shortcut/button to stick at the top of the browser window. It's kind of annoying to have to go through that side shortcut thing to find the.bookmarks. I have toggled the full screen on and off a bunch of times but nothing changes.
Any ideas ?
Long press the back button
Hope this helps

I want to try and change the bottom row keys on the LG keyboard. Has anyone been able to change say the "." key into the microphone key? I've looked on the device help screen, but just can't seem to make it work. Anyone else have luck?

Ok I'm not following your instructions. To the left of my space key i have the cog button. To the right of space bar i have period key. How exactly do i change the one on the left? From within settings or where? Which settings? I'm sure it's something really easy but i just can't make it work.
Disregard i did figure it out. I just didn't realize you had to push the symbol key in the instructions page of settings. Once i did that i was able to change up the bottom row! Thanks!
