Mapping Close (Real Close) To a button

Hi,
Since SPB Pocket Plus is not really working with the Shadow, I decided to reflash from scratch and not to use it anymore. I got everything I need from other apps, exept for one very important function.
SPB Pocket Plus has a [Close] function that you can map to a button and it actually closes the app not just sends it in the background. I use the HTC task manager to do that on the screen, but I want to map it to a button button 5 to be exact I been searching for few hours now to no avail.
Basicly to review I need to be able to close (really close) apps with a hardware button (button 5). Please help. THank you.

does wisbar seem to run slow on shadow for you? I stopped running it because I thought it was quite slow.
@yozh
you can also do some cool stuff with mortscript

It is bit slow the 1st time to bring up the start menu after a SR, after that seems ok.
@yozh
I mean Wisbar Lite, not Wizbar Advanced/desktop. you can't run that iphone theme with wisbar lite.
Another option (to map the CLOSE function) is AEB plus.
mortscript is a little too heavy for me

Yo VIJAY your button is EXACTLY WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much

I hope so... but remember, AE Button Plus does much more and is highly recommende.
But VJOkButt is a very focused app, for one (and a bit) functions only.

I just need it to close stuff thats it, simple, and you app also doesnt close activesync and aeb does. so thatnk you again.

Is it just me, or am I the only one who has the actual '<close>' option in buttons in my Start>settings>buttons option? Has anyone looked?
That is what I use so I have it mapped to the usual CommManager wasted button since if you want CommManager you can simply keep the silly thing in your bar at the bottom.

What is "Cube"

As a relative Newbie to PDA customisation - in a number of Threads deatling cooked ROMs a number are offered with or without "Cube".
What is "Cube" and whatis the difference between ROM's with and without "Cube"?
btw - I recently down loaded the O2 Premium v2 w/o cube for my Orbit, no issues installing and working well, one or two minor issues, but easily overcome with a tweak of settings

Best way is to show it! See the cube?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HNP1lgbR98

hi all,
can someone please explain how you get the 'cube' to work?
I am running ARTEMIS TOUCH 3.01 WWE - FULL WITH CUBE and everything works OK except I cant see the cube even tho i have it enabled in the TouchFLO applet under system settings.
Thanks and excuse my ignorance... i'm kinda new at this updating ROM's stuff.
-Axel

Problem solved thanks. Found a pictorial explanation on one of tom_codon's posts... thanks tom.

I’ve been looking through this forum for two days now and still can’t find a definitive answer to this question…
Is there any way you can modify the ‘Cube’ touchflow application so that it is a ‘proper’ cube with 4 sides ( i didn’t know you could have a cube with only 5 surfaces!! but i digress ) and add shortcuts on the new 'forth' side to launch your chosen applications?
Please can someone give a definitive answer thanks

can you point me in the direction of getting the cube to work - I'm where you were.....searched for tom's post can't locate it???

A 'Proper Cube' has 6 sides

Im a new too and cant seem to get the cube thing working...its probably really obvious. Anyone know what the button name is for the cube so I can assign it?

Remap 'home' button to 'start'

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!

Click to expand...

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!!

PSShutXP Power Button

hi!
I've installed PSShutXP and it works like a charm!
I was wondering how I can change the Power Button settings to assign PSShutXP to Power Button!
Registry? Tweak?
Thanks

I don't know if this would work on the TP2, but for the kaiser, you just go to psshutxp's folder (in program files if it's installed to your device) and copy the .exe, then go to the windows folder and make a shortcut and name it short_power or long_power depending on if you want it for just a short press or a long, delayed press. let me know if this works, I'd like to be able to still do this when I get my TP2

now working!

sorry just to clarify:
the shortcut I offered worked right?? I wanna know so that when I get the TP2 I can use shortcuts like that.
and does the power button actually turn the phone off?? cos when I installed psshutxp on my tilt the power button just turned the screen off. but it didn't turn the PHONE off

You can find an updated PSshutXP cab file that replaces the LongPowerButton press here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475762

Hi, i just looked at the homepage of psshutxp, however i fail to see what additional benefits i get from this program? Anything that this program does seems to be already built into the preinstalled software. Am i missing something here?

about power off, it makes display off, not power ((

this is an alternative to psshutxp. I don't know how this version works, but I've used Dave Shaw's previous version of this app, and it works great!! the power icon actually shut down my tilt! just do the same shortcut for it, and it show work!!

[Update]WM Music Player

Its gotten to the point where i feel that i should completely rewrite this app if any progress is going to be made .
So Im going to try to find some time to do just that.
so if anyones still using this, hopefully ill have something soon... its nowhere near done, but heres what i have so far.
v0.1.0
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aygEqcsRcqc
ive attached the (very) alpha version... It looks in your storage card only for your music. and is for wvga devices only.
click on the songs to add them to your now playing playlist, click on the + to add without playing the song.
the player saves the playlist when you click on the clock and minimize the form.
hopefully it works for you
with everything going on i might not be able keep up with this thread very well, but ill try to keep you updated.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
0.0.4:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30_ut9H6kBI

Im new to this Forum thing and feel pretty lost... BUT
I have been looking for a good music player that i liked, but really havent found anything so i decided i would venture off and make my own. This is my first ever phone app, written in .net 2.0 c#. So i thought i would come here for a little guidance since I've been kind of a ghost in the crowd for this site.
Anyway I have only been working on it for a few weekends and some week nights but i think its coming along nicely. I love to use it at work(which is what spawned the notification area... i would be lost without emails and appointments ) and i have basically tried to build it to what i wanted in a player.
I thought Id bring it here to see if anybody would be interested in helping test it out and like i said... maybe give some guidance.
Since i just started i dont really have a cab or anything, just the .exe from the debugger . but if you guys like it maybe I can make it into something that everyone can enjoy!

Interesting... I havent seen this error before. Im not sure how to go about troubleshooting that. Hopefully i can work on the player this weekend and see if i cant get a little more stable build up...
Sorry i dont have a definate answer... im trying to learn as fast as i can

Works great for me on my personal 6.5.3 (28008) Fuze build. In fact i love it and so far no bugs. Works fine over bluetooth. The only thing I would love to see added is AVRCP bluetooth remote support.

Thats definately on the "todo" list, but i havent had time to look into implementation yet... I'm glad to hear it works for someone though

Hi Timmy
First congrats for your work and your sharing. It's revolutionary in it's design!
After playing a bit I can see room for improvement:
1 enlarge the fonts
2 pressing play 2nd time pauses but the icon doesn't change
3 add volume control
4 add exit button
5 add stop button
6 add a screen off option to save power
In the minimised view:
7 the sliding effect seems reversed because the slider is not moving, consider a wheel effect (with or without slider)
8 shuffling through directories is not very responsive, I found the best response when swiping my fingernail on the top or the bottom of the central slider.
9 the directories names are hidden by the finger, maybe move them above the slider
10 enhance Dpad functionality : right/left are ok, up/down should switch dirs (now they behave like right/left) and action button should play/pause (now it's not responsive)
This is it for now
I wouldn't have bothered writing so much if I didn't think it has the potential to become a leading app, so keep up (I also think you are going to get more involved than you thought )
Big thanks !

Nice App run perfectly on my Axim x51 running WM6
Thanks!!!!!!

Hi Timmy212,
It seems to work OK, but on my VGA Loox N560 running Newplow's ROM for WM6.1 I cannot find out how to exit the program. Am I missing something obvious? There seems to be no menu or exit icon? It does look good though. Thank you.

When you pull down the top drawer i had it set the windows state to normal so the x button should pop up in the normal windows taskbar... At least thats how i planned it .

Thanks for your suggestions! ...
all good ideas!
for 1. i Like the idea of seeing as much of the text as i can on the page which is why they are soo small but i have been thinking about increasing the size, especially for lower resolution devices.
2. I do need to implement this,
3. I intially liked the idea of just using the system volume but i might add to see if i like it
4. for my 6.5.1 rom when i minimize it brings up the x button, i didnt think about how 6.5.3 looks
6. again for my rom i just hit the power button and it turns that backlight off, but i will try to add this.
7. Im still trying to figure out exactly how i want this view to work... I really just wanted a Quick way to go through all the album art. Hopefully i can pull something off here
8. The sliding art just works by grabbing the center albumart and then moving it in the direction you want it to go. and if you slide it all the way over and keep your finger on the screen it will keep going until you lift up...
but like i said this MIGHT change
9. i will definately be moving some text around
10. i havent set anything up for the dpad... its just manipulating the listbox that had focus last. This will change
Im about 400 miles away from my main desktop so i havent done any more work on it... but i have been setting up my 6 year old laptop with all the mobile sdk's to hopefully keep the project running the next couple weeks till i can get back home

Thanks for the detailed answer mate, by the way on my build power button stops the music and for the rest, good luck but don't forget to enjoy your holiday

Installed the player in my device with WM 6.5.3 and it works very well.
Besides the points mentioned by Tito i would suggest an exit button as i have to slide down to reveal the taskbar and then close the player from there. On this bulid no exit button comes up.
Also ...is there an option to save playlists?

When you pull down the top drawer i had it set the windows state to normal so the x button should pop up in the normal windows taskbar... At least thats how i planned it .

Yup, feel a fool.... I found it after posting, but I notice that Claus1953 did not like it either. Thank you for taking the time to reply.
I like your approach to the GUI design though. Up until now I have been using S2P from this site, by A_C. Because of GUI usability problems with later releases, I have stuck with his older 0.58 release. Your player is similar. I am sure you are familiar with S2P? I will consider using your program as it has some advantages already. Keep it up.

Hello Timmy212,
i found the problem. My operating system WM6.5.3 have not a windows mobile player, separate one mobile corelplayer.
Your more player from there mobile functions more player and not with others playern only with windows mobile.
This is a good player and function perfectly.
Sorry for my english.

there is no way to save playlists yet... hopefully i can get it working soon though ... and also a close/minimise button will probably be in the works also.
