Read and follow the directions.....very simple.
1- Transfer this cab to you "my documents" folder on your phone.
2- Using A file explorer (resco Explorer) on your phone find the cab and click on it to install it on your phone.

Mickey does that eT9.cab solve the problem of having to press FN with , = ;
& FN with . = :
So as to make the usual 2nd layout "Hold" key work.
Thanks in advance.

No it doesn't but was worth a try, not that fussed to be honest.

I am having exactly the same problem, texting with the multi-tap system is really annoying. Is there any way to have Qwerty back? My tab key is not working so the pop-up menu that's supposed to appear when pressing SPACE+TAB is not working for me. Thanks in advance, I am new to this and I've done a lot of research, your forum is the best!

this cab resolved my problem to!!
i have a excalibur S621 that originay come with windows ce without mobile office, but the htc have other same S621 with windows mobile 6.5 with office, and becouse of that i upgraded my phone with the windows mobile 6.1. But, with the new version comes with T9 keyboard driver and my keyboard (qwerty) become to be confuse, like the phones that dont have an keyboard like my phone.
Thank you guys, this site is very good for all the people that are ingressing in the smartphone world!!

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!

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!!

Hello,my opinion : if you post something in blackstone thread it's normally compatible with this pda , no ?
Edit : i build this cab for our HD and now it works ! Don't forget to do a soft reset .

What is the CTRL key on hw keyboard for???

I can't find a suitable use for that ctrl key... Whatever I use it for, it doesn't activate anything....
Has anybody found out how to use this ctrl key?

Does it work for Copying and pasting? Ctrl + C etc?
Not got mine infront of me so i cant check

Yes it does - now that I have tried....
Sorry for asking a dumb question....
... Now I wonder whether there are just CTRL+C / X / P or there are other commands available...?

Will no doubt depend somewhat on the application. Boy do I wish Sprint's version didn't take it away

nothing in the manual? (A)

I imagine there pretty similar to the commands on a keyboard?
I know Command A works to select all on the software keyboard on all PPCs so try that one?
To be honest, how many different commands are there for the Control button? I think in Total Commander you can use the control to select multiple files/folders.

will there be a function for switching programs or pages just like the PC e.g. CTRL TAB? It will cool if there is a function like that.

There is no TAB. :-(

I thought I'd revisit this. This may be helpful for those of you who didn't read your device's user manual (which is where the attached came from)...

the Ctrl key is so useful in Remote Desktop

make the "au" button to "ctrl"

is it possible? what software is needed? I don't use the "au" button so I wonder if I can make it like "ctrl" so it will be easy to copy/paste?
would this work? http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php
thanks

maybe U can try PqzII for WM 6, googling it.

I was also looking for a way to get CTRL functionality, tried both aekmap and PqzII, none of them worked so good and were a bit hard to get up and running, anyway i found "Kwik-e-map" at this forum which could map the fn button (the fn button is in the most logical ctrl spot at the keyboard so that's perfect) to function as ctrl while at the same time hitting either z,x,c,v or a (undo, cut, copy, paste and mark all) it takes only ~ 300KB of RAM and barely 0.5% CPU while being used (which is when you execute the mappings).
That's all i would use CTRL for anyway and those buttons doesn't have any "fn"-functionality, which makes it a "perfect" ctrl button.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=490013
I've also attached my configuration file, so you can just copy it over into your KwikEmap folder and have it working at Xperia X1! =) (add a shortcut to the .exe in the autorun folder to have it boot up at reboot)
Note that the program is made for Raphael/Fuze, but it works flawlessly at Xperia. (I've removed all Raphael default mappings that's included in the .cfg file from the beginning)
Highly recommended mapping tool!

THANKS!

Thanks noONExda.
Here is a cab with your cfg.

Thanks radospol, can be handy having the .CAB premade for X1 =)
I've seen a lot of X1 users looking for CTRL mapping to get Copy/paste ability, so feel free to spread that CAB around to the X1 people =) the cab should be renamed though to make it clear it's preconfigured for X1 i think. (if it's alright with the developer that is..)

Ok. You ask the developer allowed to rename? Then you can create a topic.
It would be a useful topic.

T Mobile FN Key

Any way to make the T Mobile Function key work? I've been searching everywhere.

+1...i have been trying to get this to work also

Yeah. I just want to be able to type question marks and quotes without having to slide in the keyboard and do it via onscreen keyboard
< and > symbols would also be awesome if they could be hardcoded some how. They arent even symbols on the keyboard even on Win Mo but I would love to have them, especially if this Ubuntu thing works great. I do lots of HTML / PHP so... PHP coding on the TP2 would be pretty sick Kinda hard to do without < or > symbols. Could use { and } too

try the ctrl key. im pretty sure that worked for me

the CTRL key makes an '@' sign.

Are any of you using the T-Mobile RHOD210 rootfs.img with keymap? That should hopefully map all the RHOD210's keyboard keys correctly.

Yeahhh, that thing doesn't work.

So yeah, it's not the FN key, it's the ALT key -_-.
Anyways, hitting ctrl just makes an @ sign. ALT does nothing. Shift works.
My keymap is set to Rhod210..
What do I do :'(

thanx for the info but it will work on android????
