A little while ago I installed the PPC variation on a popular PC game called transport tycoon. The game itself works perfectly on the Touch HD and in fullscreen mode. The only problem I have found is in navigation. The hardware emulation of the mouse 'right click' is mapped to the HD's 'Home' button. This causes the game to crash if used.
I was wondering if any had played with this software and found a way to remap the hardware buttons.
The software can be found at: http://www.esoftinteractive.com/openttd.html
mm
comes up with the error .. not for this device ..
Ive tried several things to make OpenTTD playable (namely remapping buttons with Ae Button and installing Virtual Dpad) . But the missing DPad is really a problem. Virtual D-Pad is not working an the "right click" button is mapped to the Home-Key ... whenever you press it, OpenTTD is crashing.
Solution anyone?
I play it-- works perfect!!!
to scroll through the map -- open map(ingame) and click on the place you wana go!!
I wonder if we take somekinda button mapping app and map volume buttons as the right click- would it work??

Hi!
Is it somebody using any kind of Button Mapper? And how it works for you?
I have tryied few:
Vito Button Mapper didn't work at all.
Dabble launcher ... this soft can see only 4btns: GPS, Recording, Internet and Camera (Recording didn't work properly, gives me some kind of mistake with buttons.exe)
And last one what I tried it was AE Button Plus (but I didn’t have enough time to take a closer look on it)
So, what is you experience? Any luck?

In the past for the S200 (PROPHET ) we used a very nice applet, Softkey applet.
I am wondering if anyone has used that on the ARTEMIS.

Try it yourself and report to the forum
Have tried it. Softkey Applet That is and it works nicely on the ARTEMIS.
The applet can be found on this forum under another link.(Prophet-Softkeys)
No, I am not looking for soft key applet ... My Soft keys working fine (and I have already installed soft for it, it comes in the rom) I can change them as I want ... But the question was: That I want to find soft which gives you opportunity to do a: Double click, Press and hold and etc.
Thanks ...
AE button plus
Here's an older reply of mine to a similar request for a button mapper.
Must have application for onehanders is a small utility called AE Button Plus at http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php. This allows you to map any number of system functions and applications to buttons (each button can acquire 3 more functions by double, triple and long press). For instance, I have mapped the mouse courser to a double click of a button. I have also mapped my ok button so that it really closes applications on a long press.
I know I sound like a sales rep but I am just a appreciative user.

jokkk3r - You are getting the buttons.exe error because you had Vito
Button Mapper installed at one time. I assume that you uninstalled it after you found that it didn't work (I did the same) - however, even after uninstall of Vito, any button that is not remapped by another app or by you through the standard WM5 button console will be stuck with the registry values that were assigned by Vito. So when that button is pressed again, the registry is telling it to look for the Vito software (called buttons.exe) that you have uninstalled. Hence, the error "buttons.exe not found."
Long story short, just disable any button mapping app you have running and then use the WM5 console to remap all problem buttons (even if it looks like they are already set.) Then start using your button mapping app again and the error should be gone.
By the way, I had the same problem with my record button (on press and hold) with Double Launcher. Single press, double press, and triple press would work, but press-and-hold would give me the error. That's how I found this solution. I still use Double Launcher despite the fact that it only sees 4 buttons (4x4=16 mappings is more than enough for me to try to remember! ) As I said - to get the press and hold function to work, you have to first disable DL and remap that function to whatever you want within WM5 - then use DL to remap the other 15 functions and the one you mapped in WM5 should remain (just don't assign anything to record button press-and-hold within DL)

SPB pocket plus
softkey applet lets you change only 2 soft buttons
And SPB pocket plus do the rest of work - 6 other buttons are remmapable
And SPB plus also give you the really close applications button and many many more...
I`m using softkeya applet + spb pocket plus - it`s great
Instead of IE I mapped the alt-tab button
Instead of GPS - close app button
Instead of camera at the right side - rotate screen
Left soft key - Explorer
Right soft key - Contacts

Glad to help! Have a great day!
I've been searching forever for a low memory application that lets you map the close app to a button on the phone. The closest thing ive found is wisbar lite but i really dpnt wanna install that.
ae button plus lets you do it
never heard of it can you give me the link? thanks for the quick responce
PHM Keys
PHM Keys will work as well to assign Close to a button:
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/Keys/
Although the app shows as having been built in 2004, it works perfectly on every device I've tried (up to and including Hermes). The Alt+Tab option for a button is pretty handy sometimes too.
http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html try this and you will never use x button that comes with the phone..it was option for mapping a button as well
also this link has a zip to map the launcher to open and close apps..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330855&page=2
I've been Using SoftsKey And you can map The Soft Key to Close apps...As far as Using a Hardware Button Like on the side of the Hermes. The apps Mentioned abov Work well.
Can PHM Keys assign the real closing feature of X-button to the OK button?

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???

I think that if you read the first post you get the answer.

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 ;
Regards
anyone experience many crash of PqzII?

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
I was playing about on the new Opera 10 beta yesterday, and do you know the lil cursor pointer, well its a bit difficult to navigate with the dodgy dpad our beloved TPs and Diamonds have. Well i wondered, wouldnt it be cool if we could use the capacative navi panel at the bottom for a track pad, yes i know there are apps out there like this such as Gscroll, but i was thinking of an app ONLY for thefor where the center button is. I find when using Gscroll i could press parts of the navipanel i dont mean to touch and it would try to activate a program. Now i know alot of you will be telling me why do you need this hwen your phones a touchscreen, well, it would jus be nice to have a working dpand for once without pressing the home/back or call buttons. the app would ideally stop the rest of the navi panel apart from the middle button. What you think? Ive tried searching for this but with no luck, if anybody knws of anapp like this, lemme know!
Hello guys.
I currently run on CM11.
I would like to map a physical button from my joypad to emulate the smartphone options button. I would like to go to the options menu for some emulators (save state...)
I use the buffalo snes controller and the wired xbox360 controller but there is only a button that sends me back to the launcher.
How can I modify that?
Is there an app for this?
Thank you
