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)."

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

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

Vibrate by long press of COMM?

Is there a way to add this, as all the 6.1 roms seam to disable this function?
(that is, toggle between sound and vibrate by long press of Comm button)
Thanks for the help

Great !!! I have been looking for this since I flashed WM 6.1.

The naked roms in my sig happen to have this wonderful feature built in.

thanks was wondering bout this myself!!!!!!

Lock Device?

Does anyone know if it is possible to get the Lock Device button back somewhere on the Home screen? TF3D seems to block it.
I can't use the powerbutton to lock the device cause it also seems 'suspend' running programs like CorePlayer, HTC FM Radio and TomTom 7.

Do a long Press on the End Call button

Yay! Thanks alot!
Case of RTFM I guess

I don't care for the long press. It's far more cumbersome than an actual shortcut. Any cabs out there to give us an actual icon/shortcut to put on the Programs tab of Sense? Like in the Energy ROM's? Surely he can't be the ONLY person to have access to such! I NEEDS IT!

use softkeymanger to change a softkey on your phone. You are using diamond mode in the software.

Unless of course you remap that button. On my device I have it set to shut off the 3G data connection. But I have mapped the OK button to lock the phone.

That won't work because there is no shortcut to point the software to. That's kinda the point of my post: Is there a cab which will make a freakin' icon for Lock Device?

I don't know if you want to pay some money, but SPB Plus will create shortcuts that lock the phone. Of course, it also allows you to remap the buttons... but it isn't freeware.

Yes there is search for a cab called "Lock Device" if you can't find it PM me i'll email it to you. Its pretty cool because you can set it to automatically lock and it also includes a shortcut that you can assign to any button.

here is the cab. I take no credit for it.

Yay!!
Thanks, my friend! Hideous icons!! HAHA. But, it gets the job done and I can always make a prettier icon.
Thanks again!

Left longpress hard key to start comm manager

Anyone know the reg edit to change
Longpress Left hand key (answerkey) to start comm manager
I did see it somewhere but there where no tags to it.

You can change it in the first Tap in the Settings under Buttons...
Sorry for my bad English...

Nice idea! After hiding the navbar, I quickly realized how much I could use something like this! I'll have to try this out when I get a chance.
Only downside I see is that since we're changing the key layout file, even when the navbar is shown, the volume buttons would still act as home/back. Would be nice for the ROM chefs to have some sort of 'live toggle' so that it would switch to home/back when the navbar is hidden, and then back to default (actual volume) when the navbar is shown.
Cheers and thanks m8!

Op, pm sent.

That's a nice idea but how do you change the volume? You will have to install some kind widget.
Also this increase wear on your buttons, that's how I killed my previous phone.

there's a toggle in AOKP to hide and bring back the toggles, although this would be more convenient it seems like it would be a hassle to change those buttons whenever you needed your volume back

Thanks for the idea just FYI on 4.0.2 GSM the layout file is:
ROOT - SYSTEM - USR - KEYLAYOUT - Generic.kl but it worked just the same. It was item 114 and 115.
Working great so far. Also I put a volume widget on my home screen so that takes care of that.

There's a flashable zip for this on rootz, been using it for several days. I just long press my ringer toggle for volume adjustment.

what i wanna see is this:
tap the power button to show/hide nav bar
double tap to lock screen
hold down to power off
boom.

I could def see this being functional

My bad .dup post

or you could just shrink the nav bar down to 30dp!
still works well and its almost like its not there!

Pretty cool. Thanks. Works like a charm.
Even long presses on the volume replicates the same behaviour as I configured on the Nova launcher :
- Long press on the Home (vol up) key: shows recents apps
- Long press on the Back (vol down) key: kills app

How to... please?

I would lime the volume up to be home and volume down be back...but long presses be normal function......how do I do this?

Doesn't seem to do anything on AOKP 27. The default says WAKE and when I change it and then reboot the volume buttons still handles the volume.

how?
Teach me, please

I think people here are misunderstand the statement. "I just long press my ringer toggle for volume adjustment." He used the built in toggles(slient or vibrate) in the rom to get the the volume screen and make volume adjustments. The long press of the physical volume key is not adjusting the volume once the mod is made.
