Is it possible to play COd2 on the touch hd with something like Gsen oder virtual d-pad . Because i would love to play this game.
i'd like to know too. i can run it but i can't move anywhere.
Mapping correctly the volume button (run & fire) and the 4 corner icons to useful stuff (reload, change weapon,...) you can play it

All... I will be staring development of a D-Pad SIP for free release on this board in the next week... I will release as soon as I have something that is functional. Here are the initial features... please use this space to suggest others...
Four (Top,bottom,right left) buttons plus optional center
Special zone button for switching to user defined standard keyboard
D-SIP Toggled via any assignable button sequence (will play well with apps like Mobile Magic)
user definable gestures support
I will add accepted features to this list above with a 'Phase' (e.g. planned for release 1,2 or eventually)

That seems to be a very nice Christmas gift! You will make many users of Touch HD very happy. Thanks for your effort.
One suggestion:
If possible I would like to get continuous signal and user defined repeat rate as well as user defined delay until repetition begins (just like hardware dpad can be calibrated via settings).
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, it will be hard to enable it in applications wich doesnt support SIP's such as games
Maybe it is possible to run a application in a "640x480"px Frame and to use the 160pixel at the bottom for a D-Pad...
Would be nics to add in a rotation button, I don't like how gsen and gyrator mess up my screen when I don't want it to. Also Might come in handy a clear 4 way pad to be use ingame, left or right of the screen, maybe that is a little too much to ask for?

My hope is to add a option to force a 640x480 resolution for "configured" applications and then use the freed 160px for the D-Pad... in non-configured apps it would function like any other SIP. Still researching my approach
consider adding the buttons for Cut Copy and Paste
sounds like a great idea! hope it works
The 2 hardware keys (left and right) for the selection of the soft menus are a must!
I am a bit confused maybe due to lack of my knowledge of exactly what configuration this new SIP will carry. My confusion is because if you happen to see the Cootek TouchPal it already has a tab which gives you navigation options such as top, bottom, left, Right, select, cut and copy.
How is your SIP going to be different from TouchPal.

I guess the goal of this SIP is to be available in all applications (e.g. games) that usually depend on some hardware buttons to be playable and not just the ones that activate a SIP for input by default like SMS, Email etc.
One suggestion would be to have 8 directions on the virtual pad. On a real dpad you can press 2 directions simultaneously (useful in games) however the resistive screen means that there would only be one key press at a time.
Sorry for my ignorance...i am very new to WinMo phone.
Can anyone tell me what is SIP and how it is going to work?
By the way there is a software called AEBplus which can configured the hardware Vol up/down for HD, is it going to be similiar?

As the most games I know use their own keyboard implementation, a SIP won't work for them. SIP will just for most applications, rather the ones, where you see the "keyboard icon" in the bottom, where you can change the keyboard and make some settings.
Looking forward to it
I think a good starting point could be to create a full screen application (a sort of container) with a sidebar implementing the Dpad that emulates an hardware pad + some buttons and a 'window' 640x480px where other applications can run.
In this mode it should be possible to generate the standard Windows messages when a soft-key is hit so that the windowed application could be fooled thinking that the user is acting on a true Dpad/key.

So it will work with for example pocket gba emulator ?

Something like this allready exist, google MorphGear
it will work with PPC Games better than GBA
any news on this project?
Same question here. I am waiting for this as the most important thing for Touch HD on this forum. I want arrow keys in my age of empires to move map
By the way : If you can, you should do that virtual pad fully configurable, like morphgear has (text file with functions and color numbers and bmp picture with those colors on certain places + copy of that but in colors that will be displayed)
I'm still experimenting with various approaches... unfortunately it seems like the most viable approach will involve the four softkeys at the bottom of the device... everything else I try only works when I can force a SIP to be present and unfortunately it seems that the times I want a D-Pad SIP the most are the apps that make this difficult... BTW... if anyone has a code sample for reassigning the HomeKey send me a PM please. For now all I can say is please continue to have patience... I'm still working on making a solution available
... I wanted to write an application that changes optical joystick behaviour for different applications, for ex. when writting SMS I would like to disable Joystick, and when in Opera, i want to use it as scroll... then in Resco Explorer slower reaction then possible to set with default Settings program... etc....
... and no Idea how to start controlling these things... there is no api, no wrapper, no anything to control optical joystick ... for ex for diamond's / touch pro's d-pad or G sensors ... had their wrapperers / SDKs written by: Koushik Dutta...
maybe You Guys know anything...

Can you make pressing it an end call button in a call please?
Hi
All some devices such as the MEGA, TOPAZ LEO and Whitestone.. dont have a D PAD...
is it possible to develop a SIP based DPAD that is in the Ezinput.. like you know just extract just that bit
see screen shot below
bump!!!!!!!
Yeah, I would like that idea, a nice virtual DPAD that's built into the input menus. Yum yum.
Virtual Dpad
just found out you can play DOS on xperia play my alltime fav raptor by apogee is what i want to play problem is its hard to configure especially sound settings and controlls i was wondering if anyone here knew of the best DOS emulator i should use for xperia play that would maximize the amount of buttons i could use. or some way to map all my buttons to the keyboard.
What sound setting should i use?
Emulator -- Andosbox. It should support soundblaster. To remap XP's control pad to letter keys that Andosbox recognizes, use gamekeyboard app. Then of course, you will have to assign the keys in each individual dos game or map the game keyboard settings per each dos game if the game itself won't let you customize controls.
i figured out key mapping is andosbox better than adosbox? because currently the sound is pretty choppy using adosbox
Found a new one called DosBox Turbo. Its a lot faster at running XCom and DOOM2 than both adosbox and andosbox.
help
Someone know wht is the keycode for keymapping on xperia play's button?I cannot use just two button on my xperia play plusz the arrow buttons but i would like to use the other 4 button.So what is the keycode for triangle square and the two trigger.Thx if its not problem someone send me in private messeage to [email protected] a lot
I'm using a replacement launcher (Firestarter) and a 3rd party wireless keyboard /mouse (Mele F10 Deluxe) -- things are working well, but one issue is that the "home" button on the Mele acts like the "HOME" key on a QWERTY keyboard. Instead of returning to the home screen, it sends keyboard event "KEYCODE_HOME" (Constant Value: 3 - 0x00000003).
On a (rooted) AFTV2, is there a way to assign a keyboard event (in this case, "KEYCODE_HOME") to launch a particular app (in my case, firestarter) regardless of what else is open?
Alternatively, is it possible to have the keyboard event "KEYCODE_HOME" perform the system "home" event?"
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Thats five minutes on google.
The way I have solved this was to remap the keyboard layout of my Macbook Air to adb commands - whenever I run a script that can only be exited by clicking a button on a prompt. I actually remapped the entire MBA's keyboard to send the corresponding keys to the Fire TV as adb keyevents.
Code:
adb shell monkey -p your.app.package.name -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER 1
does what you want in that case (de.belu.firestarter is the package name btw).
I dont think every button press will show up in the Fire TVs logs the same way HOME does ("nice little keylogger you sell there, A."), so instead you might have to do the remapping at another point. Your keyboard itself is too dumb to even know what being scripted means - that leaves you either messing with the OS itself - or forfeiting the keyboard in favor of an Ultrabook. Which by the way - allows you to actually work, or browse the net - and still control the Fire TV in the background.
But people seem to be happy with their Bluetooth keyboards - because, single purpose = neato.
On my k900 plus keyboard it has a home button, why not Just map Firestarter to start up when you press home twice, then you just press the home button twice on your keyboard?
Hope this helped press thanks button

Thanks for the links. For anyone else using a media airmouse such as the Mele F10 (with a "home" button that does not send the same code as the amazon remote), it's very straightforward to create a custom keyboard map that makes it function like the Amazon remote:
1) For each button that you would like to remap, use Ketest App to discover its ScanCode (for example "102" is the "Home" button on the Mele F10 Deluxe).
2) Determine the Product ID and Vendor ID for your input device with "cat /proc/bus/input/devices" and create a copy of /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl with the name Vendor_XXXX_Product_XXXX.kl. This custom key layout file contains your new mapping (for example, I changed the entry next to "Key 102" to "HOME" instead of "MOVE_HOME").
3) Set ownership (chown system.system) and permissions (chmod 644) for your custom key layout file.

Thanks for sharing your experience. The issue is that on the Mele F10 Deluxe (and other combo devices that aren't designed specifically for the Fire TV box), the home button does not send the same key code as the Amazon remote -- requiring that the user create a custom key map file.

Thanks! Given the cost difference (plus, portability, and the fact that it lasts longer on a charge), I can understand why people might choose a media remote instead of a script-friendly keyboard with a screen (like an Ultrabook). Fortunately, if your 3rd party remote doesn't work like the Amazon remote out-of-the-box, it is easy to create a custom keymap. Unfortunately, this still means that, by default, FireStarter has to use ADB to listen for the home key. I was hoping that if I use a different button instead of the home key on the amazon remote, I can have the OS "listen" in a simpler way (that doesn't tie up ADB), and simply have the OS launch firestarter when this button is pressed.
Bluetooth keyboards are less clunky - thats right. So portability and also price are valid arguments for them.
But - there is also a lot that you "lose" by not using an ultrabook (beside the remote which at some point becomes just an easy to use muscle memory extension).
The argument here goes as this way -
1. Screen Mirroring is a very, very, stupid idea. Let the battery powered device do all the processing, then let it encode a video feed on top of that, and then let it transfer...
2. Link sharing on the other hand is "where its at". So for the Fire TV this means, you use the Chrome Plugin "Play to Kodi", which covers youtube and a few other sources - and you also use Video Download Helper (Chrome Plugin available as well) to get any direct video link that isnt a rtmp stream and heavily segmented and a little script that launches http://www.multilinkr.com/ in your browser, then you paste the url in your clipbord into that, use the site to generate a clickable link and then use rightclick and Play to Kodi to cast the direct video link to the Kodi Box.
Which brings me to -
3. Discoverability is pretty lousy on remote based interfaces (Kodi has the best interface for it there is out there.). Its also pretty bad on phones (which is part of why more and more content becomes facebook native and why you are so dependent on content surfacing within an app "you like") or tablets. Its actually pretty excellent on laptops. So in some sense - I see the ultrabooks as the last bastion of non curated content and real discoverability out there.
Kodi with keyboard at that stage simply doesnt cut it. Also if you are more than a novice user you need a device you use to do maintenance on Kodi - so again - why not an Ultrabook...
-
Regarding your previous question - I know that the adb way of Firestarter noticing "that the Home button was pressed" depends heavily on certain lines within a log that only indicate that _that_ button is being pressed. I dont know how its dev handled the non adb implementation - you have to ask him. It is very unlikely - that you'd find the same or an equivalent "event indication" when you press a random key on a connected keyboard.
Remember that the watcher routine has to look for something occurring, and that in the case of Firestarter this preferably has to show up on non rooted devices also. In fact - that Firestarter (and its predecessor) exist is a little miracle in its own right - because Amazon could make a very small change and it would never be able to work again. In that sense its a hack - that relies on a very specific pattern showing up in something the OS is reporting and that is accessible by any app (userspace).
Its not based on a featureset, its based on a hack.
