I would like to create a shortcut to issue a soft reset command to my Blue Angel without having to stick the stylus on it's bottom hole. In other words, I want to be able to click on a small icon on the screen to tell it to soft reset.
I would also like to be able to do a shutdown (i.e. press the ( | ) power button) in the same way.
How can I do it? Is it possible without having to use a 3rd party app?
BTW, I have searched the forums but didn't find it...
Thanks in advance,
Brazilian Joe
Brazillian, you could do it without a 3rd party app if you write it yourself. Otherwise, there are apps that do this - I think PHM tools has something that does it.
My program VJEschaton will soft reset or hard reset from a shortcut or hardware key. However, read my other posts about (not) assigning anything to the power button.

I don't want to assign sonething to the herdware power button, I just want a shortcut which performs the same action...

Not eaxactly a shortcut but if you downlaod Tweaks2k2 demo (free) it has a soft reset option.
Brazillian: VJEschaton should still soft reset (and possibly optionally hard reset) for you then.

Great little application I have been using is psShutXP
http://ppcsoft.narod.ru/english/
Works a treat.
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)."

Wow, Wow & Wow
Thanks a zillion times, simple and effective.

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

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 ;

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 have found an application that automatically rotates the HTC touch HD screen. Works 100% perfect.
I'll try this.Thanks in advance!!!!!!
gsen is an old application already tested many times here!
Conclusion is: the best rotate screen was manually rotate with "press and hold call button"!
BTW, you can found gsen latest version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=403939

In registry, find:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI and change the value to 0. No soft reset required. Just go to Settings - Buttons and find the "Rotate Screen"

Hi everyone. I'm new to this website and I'm new to posting in general. I just want to know if anyone knows where I can get the official oem rom of Windows Mobile 6.5.3 or 6.5.5? Not a cooked rom or anything like that. The official one. If anyone could help me out with this I would really appreciate it

Dont think one was released for this phone...
I could be wrong though.
I thought thats why the chefs take other phone ROMS and cook it for our Rhodium.
Otherwise you could download it from the HTC (or your carrier) site.

Ohhh thanks for replying. I didn't know they used other phone ROMS. But do you know of any ROMS that are good for the our Rhodium? I've used some ROMS before but they change stuff like the home button. They make it go to the start menu instead of home. Do you know a nice ROM where they let the home button actually go to the home screen?

Yes there is in fact a home button. It has the windows logo on it.
I think you will find on here that most people will refer to that as the start button, and whilst I have been using newer ROMs for ages, I cannot remember when it did much else than go to the start menu?
No I'm talking about the button next to the back button on the htc touch pro2. That button sends me to the home menu with the time and weather and stuff.

Which side of the back button ? You said it had a windows logo on it though ? I have a button with a windows logo (to the left of the back button), which correctly pulls up the "Start" menu. I have a button with a picture of a house (and a phone) on it) to the right of the start button, which goes to the Sense home tab.
I am confused. Presumably you are talking about the real buttons not the soft on screen buttons?
My TP2 has (from left to right)
The pickup phone button
The start button (windows logo)
The back button (arrow)
The endkey button (phone down logo and little house)
If I push the endkey when away from the homescreen it takes me back to the home page.
That still works for me. (Not on every manila tab, but most)
The start key has only ever (for me) mimicked what the soft start key does. (Which in my case is start Quickmenu as I have binned the normal start menu).
Guys, you are forgetting that he has TMOUS TP2, which has really HOME button next to the BACK and Pick up.
Anyway, I really prefer having it mapped to Start Menu, because on Home you can get by pressing end key too, so why use two keys for one thing? Wasting keys .

Oh yeah I forgot to add that. I do have the T-mobile version.
It a matter of taste, but I prefer the Valkyire roms, you will need to try a few to make your own decision.
Lol the reason your home key opens up the start menu is the same reason why your ctrl key on your keyboard is actually your alt key; you flashed a ROM that the keymapping is to a different Touch Pro2, if you google you'll find the TMOUS Rhodium/Touch Pro2 Keyboard fix...
