Anyone know how to remap the pink T-zones hardkey to WMplayer or something else more useful?
Thanks in advance
Laotzu
same way you did it in wm5
The link file has changed. For WM5, the file was windows/short_AP1.lnk,
In WM6 Beta, the file is windows/short_IE.lnk
Open it up in your text editor and change it as you see fit.
Oh yeah, forgot that extra step. There's still a link_ap1. Fun things happen if you replace only that. IE will load, then the link_ap1 will load.
I'm still getting IE loading after I have changed Short_IE to the taskmanager. Very odd.

I don't see any short_ap1 in the windows directory...is it someplace else?
yeah, i'm not seeing short_ap1 or link_ap1

Correct, there is not short_ap1 in the Beta. I'm not seeing an option in the registry that hooks into iexplore.exe. I wonder if opening IE is hard coded into the ROM...
A short-term solution might be the following AEBPlus:

This would allow you to remap other buttons as well. You could make the T-Zones Button a double-press for task manager, for example. This is free for the basic version for smartphone but the nag screen stays active, however. Also, don't go remapping key buttons because one of the bugs is that the button sometimes loses it's initial functionality (e.g. Read don't remap a soft-key if you don't know what you are doing because you can't do much of anything without having the original functionality present.) Not everything works on the Dash with this app, but it still does the job.
Got it... I just checked my WM6 and figured out what I had to do to get it working.
First, replace the short_ie.lnk with the link of your choosing. Then, also replace pie.lnk with the link of your choosing. That will get it to run the proper application that you want to run. Don't worry, replacing pie.lnk won't screw with IE at all.
Good find, Merwin!
Just to clarify what Merwin said and to hopefully avoid further questions:
1. Make a shortcut of the application that you want to replace the t-zones button application (e.g. Pocket Explorer) using ActiveSync's Explore function
2. Drag the shortcut copy to the desktop
3. Make two copies of that shortcut.
4. Rename one copy: pie
5. Rename second copy: short_ie
6. Drag both copies back to the windows folder on the device and replace the original shortcut files
No device reset is necessary.
Remap T-zones
gadgetshrink, It seems that I cannot change the files you suggested, probably because they are hard coded in ROM, as it indicates in the properties dialog box in Total Commander when I click on the e.g. Short_IE file. I have installed the Surreal App Unlock, reset but see no way to change the file attributes. I have the standard t-Mobile ROM on my Dash. I have tried to delete the files and to edit them and to cut and paste from Word Pad. No luck. Seems that the files need to be opened to be able to change them.
Unlock your software
Is there any software on your x1 that u would like to have as a panel?
If there is please post a message with the path to the exe and i will try and make a panel.
If u can find 2 pics (one portrait and one landscape to match the software it would help.
ps. with a bit of luck some of the will turn out like my Google Maps Panel V2
(I will try my best but some may not work, and its only standard software, not plug in or UI)

Have Fun
An offer I can't refuse!
I'm not looking to have a specific program Panel-ized, but rather I'm interested in a panel that can disable TF3D upon entering(unless TF3D is turned off when you switch panels I'm not sure) and shows you a list of installed games or 3D apps. I Like to play games on my phone in short bursts and only when I need to kill a minute or 2, would be nice If it was a bit quicker to get right to the game rather than having to navigate several menus to disable TF3D and then opening programs and running the game.
If This is possible I would be greatly appreciative, also if it were possible to add/remove apps from its list either thru the panel or thru reg edit or editing a file that can be changed simply by adding a line with a link to the program I desire, that would be fantastic.
PS: I realize this is slightly different than what you are offering, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.
should be possible to make a panel that opens your games folder (showing all your games, or to open a game (solitare etc).
not sure what u mean by add/remove list? do u mean the uninstall menu?
I will see if i can make a few panels for games, see what u think.
im using a standard rom, i dont know if your rom has a different path to the exe's, but will try and u let me know if they work on yours
im having a problem making it open the folder, for some reason when u tell it to autoload a folder it activates opera and shows u it as a page.
should be able to make any game autoload if u can give me the path (eg. program files - games -solitare).
still looking into the uninstall program (cant seem to find the exe in windows, if any one knows please let me know)
i will keep testing
sorry, I didnt mean uninstall, I meant have the ability to add or remove a game from being listed in the panel since I hope to add more games to my phone in the future, but if you want to just have it open a folder with shortcuts to my current games I suppose that would be easier and you could just use the current windows\start menu\programs\games folder which should be the same for everybody. All I'm really looking for with this is to be able to push panel button select "game Launcher" panel and select a game while having TF3d disabled while this panel (and subsequent game) is in use.
Again thank you for taking the time to help me and I'm sure anyone else who wants to play 3D games with this panel.

thanks for the proposal,
for me, I would LOVE to have the abililty to have the alarm clock, strait, and not having to goes to setting for activating an alarm...
I would like to know how, to create a path, for say, some folders who are located in the microcard, and we could goes on and on...
Thanks you...Also, very often when I try to install a software, even, when it tell me the software was beautifully installed, I never truly know, where it is, and, very often too, I can not see or use it....I do wonder if this could also be related to the size in pixels of some applications...?
I was thinking for my perfect panel......
Some thing like panel manager, but with the running apps.
Could you catch me????
I I have 2-3 or more apps (usually 2-3) running at the same time, if I press Xpanel button, the panel launch icons of the apps running, so i can touch the app I want to focus.....
Could be Possible????

look in the romove program settings, see if the software is there.
could be lots of reasons why its not working:
it may not be made for wm6.1
it may have to be installed in the phone memory not sd card
(dont think its the size of the screen as it would still show up as an icon but would not work when u start the program).
is it the built in alarm u want or a different program (eg spb time)
to get the path i need just go on the file explorer and list the path from the device to the alarm.exe (eg = sd card - program files -handy alarm - alarm.exe).

i dont think its possible to do without knowing serious programing. it is possible to make a panel that u press on that has still pics for each app (3 apps = 3 still pics) that u can press on to send u to the app u want.
for this i need the path to the 3 or more apps (program exe files) to make this happen

VOIP service panel would be great too. so that whenever you have wifi connection, you can make a call with VOIP
Sorry if this is the wrong thread.
MSVC is pretty useful but mapping a long key press can be annoying. Especially with the quick links now available in the new manila.
But there doesnt seem to be a way to add the msvc exe. Does anyone know if it's possible?
Using file explorer, go to your program files folder and open the ms voice command folder. Copy the .exe file. Now go to to windows, start menu, programs, and paste a shortcut there. I suggest renaming it and taking shortcut out of the title so it looks better. It will now be available for you to choice when mapping the phone key, or what I have done was add it to one of my top home tab shortcuts so it is easily available.
Hey thanks for that!
Wasnt even sure if it was possible but it works! finally, voice commands the easy way!
cheers.
EDIT: actually, just one more question... does anyone know if it's possible to have mp3s open in the manila music player when opened via MSVC rather than opening in media player.
Hey all,
One thing that annoys me about the new x2 sip is that it continues to use xt9 even though I'm typing on the hardware keyboard. (If you know a setting to stop this let me know)
What I would like to do is have the application "SipSwitch" launch and change the current sip to the NullKeyboard whenever I slide out the hardware keyboard on the xperia.
Does anyone know of an app or fix that allows applications to be run whenever you slide out your keyboard?
Thanks in advanced
Try this
Do you also use the slide to switch between portrait/landscape modes?
If yes, use PQzII to switch SIPs.
If no, try this:
Install the registry key below (use tascal reg edit to import them). It assumes you use Keyboard and nueNullKB (if not, just change the registry entry to your null SIP).
Copy sipswitch.exe to Windows folder (this is mandatory).
Reboot.
I can't do anything about the SIP popping out when you slide in - that's due to how sipswitch works.
You can also use those registry entries to run programs. They will need to reside in the Windows folder though. These registry entries rely on windows state notifications (snapi) so there's no polling involved. Don't use the registry setttings if you switch between landsccape/portrait tho. the SIP won't be positioned properly.
Thank you for this! Don't have time now, but I will try it out soon and tell you what I think.
There's a slidersound app/cab that enables sounds for the keyboard whenever it slides in/out and also can open up an app of your choice...search for it!

Tried searching for this, but I'm getting a lot of stuff that's not related. If you can please post a link or give the exact name of the file or something. thanks for the suggestion though.

Hey inks, thanks for your input. The registry fix didn't work, but PQZII did and was exactly what I was looking for. I doubt I ever would have found that app myself. PQZII will probably be useful for some other things too. later
ah the registry notifications depend on you installing nueNullKb (http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNullKB.aspx). Too lazy/hard to make a cab for it so it's not easy to set up. owell.
But yeah if you're just switching SIPs between landscape/portrait, PQzII works a treat.
@ImPacking
If you're talking about nuerom's nueSlidingKb (creates an icon called Sliding Sound in Settings) or nueKBLight, they don't work for the X1 (was designed for touch pro 1). Problem being they rely on detecting portrait -> landscape switch modes but for right sided hw keyboards.
Hello.
I am looking for an application that would allow me to scroll any window by dragging ("swiping"?) the finger on the screen.
SensorScroll - It appears that is not compatible with Touch HD? Nothing happens in any application.
GScroll - Nothing happens, plus it looks buggy and it says "application will exist after 15 minutes" ?!
Any other tools? I tried another one that blocked my screen completely and I had to hard reset, cannot remember the name of it but I later read the whole thread and I was not alone with blocked screen
What I need is to scroll a messages list window in FlexMail.
Thanks in advance.
a wm 6.5 rom should fix your problem, given the kinetic scrolling engine present.
I am using WM 6.5 but I found that the actual problem is just in one of the windows in "Flexmail", they said they are unable to enable swipe-scroll in that window.
Can you tell me more about how this is different in WM6.5? Maybe it would help them (flexmail developers) debug this.
The problem is that you cannot scroll thrugh a list of messages, I understand that this window type is a UI component from microsoft.
It is very anoying to try to use the small scrollbar.
