since my screen is dead i want to use the softkey's for various tasks... any idea how?! Please tell me there is a way to press them from the hardware keyboard.
really... isnt there anyway to hit ok or options from the hardware keyboard?
You could use mortscript to emulate the screen tap. Then map the script to the key you like.

is there any way you can give me directions on how to do that? i've been trying to find a way to make my "ok" button and or "enter" button send texts for a while now, and every time someone says use this, or use that, they never explain how. please and thanks.

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...
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!

Hi, I was wondering if I could remap the trackpad button on my Droid Incredible to the home button. Kind of like how if you press the center button on the iPhone, it goes back to the home screen. Is this possible? and I do not want to flash another ROM. Thanks.
Uhm, this phone already has a "home" button.....

can't we just answer the question? sometimes ppl. I would assume if he has a dinc he knows about the home shaped icon under the screen there, with that said I've never seen this question asked b4 but would assume no bcuz of already in place "home" button

I know there is a button, but I want to use the track pad button for the same function.
I think this would be useful as well.

Look at the Optical joy stick wake thread. It's in the keymap file somewhere. I don't know what all you can remap it too but I know they remapped it to wake the device (though inconstantly but thats a sleeping problem)
Just a thought, but would you not loose all of the intended functionality as a result of doing this? For instance, how would you take a picture or record a video?
I have ruby rom so there already is a record button or camera button on the screen itself so it's not a problem.
-steve
Redemption rom use to have a tweak that let you hold down the search button key and it would start the camera application. This was done by editing the incredible-keypad.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout and changing the line "key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED" to "key 217 CAMERA WAKE_DROPED" i figure you could add a line "key 232 HOME WAKE_DROPPED" and get the home to open when the trackpad was pressed, but that didn't worked.
I've been trying to remap my trackpad to camera since I rooted my phone and still can't get the working. I hope this thread will spread some light on how to properly remap the DPAD_CENTER button.

Those two aplications remove the need for the trackpad button, however its usefulness doesn't end.there. the.ability to.scroll through text to edit without endlessly, 'push and pray' u get it in the right spot I would.imagine would get lost as well. The trackpad also can seek in some flash players too.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Okay. So this is not possible at all? Because i can edit text by zooming in on the website...
-steve
It doesn't seem to be possible... or if anyone has figured out how they don't want to share. Editing the kl files doesn't work like it does for other hardware buttons. Here's my thread asking the same thing:
[Q] Can't remap optical joystick?
would this be possible
if you were to look at the file text for the real home key maybe if you copy-pasted that txt into your trackpad txt file it would do the same function .......just a thought
Hello everyone , got a question for you that I can't find an answer to.
I'm trying to map the Voice Input to one of the Quick Keys but I cant seam to be able to find a way to do this, The way I have around it atm is to have installed UberKeyboard which puts a button on the screen that I can press but i would love to be able to use one of the hardware quick keys to do this (Might as well use them for something!)
So my question is, is there a way to map the Voice Input to a Quick Key?
Thanks in advance

I don't know if it's possible, but you could take a look at Tasker.
see: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/index.html
It's capable of remapping buttons to other applications.

have you tried mapping the voice search app to one of your quick keys?
also i believe if you longpress the search button it will bring up the voice input.

Hi Mildwild,
Thank you for your rom. very nice and working very good.:good:
I just have 2 questions:
- when I write a text message, I like (like for example in this message) to go to the next line. But I can not find a "return" button on the virtual keyboard. Is it possible to change the keyboard layout so that I can have it
- When SMS is long, I like to retract the virtual keyboard (but also everywhere I need to see the whole screen). But I do not see the button that allows to do this. Do you have a solution?
Thanks by advance for your response
Regards
Laurent

Have a look in the keyboard settings. If it's not already built in, Mildwild won't update the ROM or keyboard just to include this. Easier solution would be to install another keyboard

I thought in most situations the back button does this already? You don't see it because it's not on the screen, try the hardware key
