Screen rotation

Hello,
I would like to ask you a question, please....
I always set the screen horizontal to use TomTom (far far better for texts and easiest use with the roll). Do you know any way to automatic change the screen orientation when enter/quit TomTom? (macro?), TomTom have this feature?
Thanks in advance,
PS. This PDA is great!

I know of a nice way to set a hardbutton to screen rotation. You can use a program called ae button plus that has great features for adding a lot of functionality to your buttons (for instance opening your wifi by double-tapping one of your hard buttons). I used this to set the ok button so that with a long press it rotates my screen. Check it out at http://ae.inc.ru/index.php
Hope this helped

Use a mort script before launch...

Alt Tab + AltF4

Attached zip folder with two files:
1. Alt Tab
2. Alt F4
- Copy the files to your windows folder
- Make a shortcut for each file to the programs folder
- Assign a button to each program
For example I assigned button no.2 (IE) to Alt Tab and button no.5 voice dial to Alt F4
This two small programs work very well
Alt F4 closes programs (Comm. manager too)
Alt Tab switches between open applications (including phone and ActiveSync)
Enjoy

Hi,
this sounds interessting and it seems to save one or two "cklicks" once in a while But please excuse my noob question: how do I create a shortcut to my programs folder??
Thanks in before, pronor
Edit: Very noob indeed, shame on me... Tatal Commander dit it for me.

Hi edward-riko,
just want to let you know your small apps are excellent, especially the AltF4 is a real "must have" - I wonder why only few are downloading them.
pronor

why few dnld.....
for me I like my IE and Mess buttons. I like you alt tab and alt f4 but don't want to give up any buttons. I need more buttons I guess.....
I may make a cab for this zip for you all though. then the shortcuts would be made automatically.
When I get to the hotel maybe I get bored and make a cab.

Do you mean \windows\"Start Menu"\programs or just \windows\programs
Here is the CAB it places the shortcuts to the \windows\"Start Menu"\programs . Just use settings..buttons and choose which buttons to use.

I have the same problem - not enough buttons - I use IE for AltF4 and didn´t map Alt Tab to any button, cos I use my mess button for Vijay´s Flashlight.
Does anyone know if there is a way to double map buttons? Like button 5 has to functions by using "press and hold" ?

Dear Pronor
you can make the comm manager button double use in order to go from ring to vibrate and visa versa from vibrate to ring
you need to install the attached cab and then power off the device (not soft reset but power off) after you power on and push and hold the comm manager button it will put your device to vibrate , another push and hold back to ring
hope this helps you

Dear edward-rico,
sometimes after I posted something here I become aware of something I forgot before like this time forgot about the CommButton-Toggle-Vibrate-Fix.cab I´ve installed on my hermes - which exactly does what I was asking for
I guess I will have to learn how to make own cabs, cos if it´s possible with the commButton it should be possible with any button, if one just knows how to do it.
BTW.., since I´m exercising the hardware buttons of my device - is there a big difference between AltF4 and the OK Button on the very bottom right? I think I was never aware of that one before.

i don't know of any other buttons (except comm manager and button no.5) that you can make double use but if you fined something new about another button let me know
PS
didn't understand your question about the AltF4

Forget it - I just tested the OK button with the commManager, which it closes but was not aware that it doesn´t stop a process like your AltF4 does.

with AEButton you can map your Buttons:
"# distinguish up to 4 different keypress events on each button grabbed (single, double, triple and "long" keypresses)."

Thanks a zillion times, simple and effective.

My thoughts exactly as I was watching all the iPhone craze unfold...

I780 and Smartkeys / AEButton Plus probelm

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.

Has anyone got pqz working on samsung i780 yet? none of the cabs work on my device!
If you got it working could you please tell me which cab you used?

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

Sorry, but I have the registry as you say, but no X button appears in any app. Do you know what is happening??
Thxs in advance

just install arkswitch... you start arkswitch by tapping the upper left black field... so u got connections on the right and arkswitch on the left... works perfect...

Thanks
yoann

Never had an issue, just practice getting used to the timing

If you want your screenshot on the desktop (and you use Windows), just try my adbgrab.exe (in the sig).
Code:
C:\>adbgrab.exe shot.png

Here is a great article on it... using the palm swipe looks like it will solve your problem. Check out scroll capture also, that is cool.

No, they have the palm swipe only as far as I know, although you have to activate it in settings first, for it to work... you can try an app to create a macro, (great feedback in the comments ,but one them says the phone needs to be rooted which may or may not be) based on whatever you want as shown in this video.... not English, in Hindi, but you can make out the details and process from the visuals.
If all else fails, the power and volume rocker low buttons pressed the same time will take a screen shot by default.

Where i can find long press on one hand ?

just my 2 cents; i use good lock and the module navstar. i've put in 2 extra icons in the nav bar (originally has 3: back, home and apps). the other 2 to the left side that have been added are power off and screenshot.

Men thank so much for this tips

From my end, I use the button mapper and set up volume down long press as screenshot. I tried with one hand gestures and somehow, I prefer physical button. Would love to use bixby routine instead but couldn't find a way to screenshot.

Tap tap is my go to. Simply double tap the back of the phone and bam!

Lol I always turn my phone sideways so I can do the volume down & power button press two handed!
