Please politely point me in the right direction if i haven't looked hard enough, but i found this on
http://www.keithelder.net/blog/archive/2008/09/04/BlackJack-II-Windows-Mobile-6.1-Review.aspx
is there any way to get this on the excalibur/dash?
"A little known feature is the FN key settings. From the home screen you can press combinations of “fn-{key}” and launch a program directly. After an install I setup several to hot launch including RSA, Twittery, Internet Explorer and Skyfire."
"Choose a keypad assignment and an application. Note you can type the first letter of the application in the value box to just to that app. Once set, when on the home screen type fn-{key} and that app will launch."
hopefully, i am late and this has already been ported to the dash.
please let me know
As far as I know, and what from I've seen looking around in the BJII ROM, that is a custom function of Samsung's keyboard driver, which wouldn't be compatible with the Dash. Why not use Smarttoolkit or the countless other keyboard hotkey managers outthere ?
Thanks for your help and kindness. I haven't received my phone yet but i do want to say that i am migrating over from the iPhone which i salivated over until i actually used one for 8 months; Unlocked/Jailbroken etc... I just wanted to know what was out there in order to make my transition as easy as possible. If you or anyone knows of any other tools out there that may be useful to me please let me know. Again, thanks NRG, for your help.
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone knows of a tweak that lets you use the keyboard on games and emulators such as Morphgear or other apps to simulate hard keys. I had a look on the Touch Pro forum and came across a nice program that enables you to use certain keys for Morphgear, the downside is that some of the keys get a little mixed up which I assume is a compatibility problem or hardware difference. But the concept is there. It's just that with the lack of a D-Pad making use of the keyboard for things other than typing would be really useful. If there isn't one out yet, do you think someone will come up with one in time.
Link to the Touch Pro tweak - I've tested it and other than than the keys get a bit mixed up it works

Hi, when you tested the kfortouchpro app on your Rhodium was it playable?
disable eT9 and it works
Hi,
disable eT9 and it works:
You want to disable eT9. Go into the registry and change to this:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409]
"Layout Text"="COMP IME"
"Ime File"="compime.dll"
then soft reset. that disables eT9 and leaves you with the windows mobile standard IME.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=469486
Than you can remap buttons with ae button.
I had the same problem, my first solution was described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=531823
with the ability to kept eT9, but it wont work with emulators like Gen PPC.
Hope it helps you.
I downloaded KforTP (do a search, can't remember where from). You can select the kb setting you want without having to soft reset. Works perfectly for me when using the smartgear emulator.
Thanks Bub3D. I tried your first solution and it worked, at least in morphgear - genpp doesn't seem to recognise the keys on one side of the keyboard.. Just out of interest, have I actually disabled anything that I might use? Everything seems to work, but what does eT9 do?
I have tried GenPP unsuccessfully. Morphgear SNES works but not the genesis module. Anyone any ideas? It seems to load up games but then black screen when it gets past the title screens. Also crashes the device sometimes when doing this.
I'd happily pay good money for a decent genesis emulator on the TP2 if anyone knows of any.
I'm looking into a new phone and one thing I would really like is the ability to play old games such as those found on MAME, SNES, and GBC. Unfortunately, the state of Windows Mobile game emulation has not progressed much in the past two years. With many phones now abandoning the D pad and screen resolution now higher than what some emulators can manage, programs that worked marginally for my 8125 are reported not working on newer devices. As WM moves on to WM7, I left wondering if any emulators will be left. I noticed that the Iphone and Android phones have emulation development ongoing. Perhaps it is the challenge of getting something to work on something new. I have no programming skills whatsoever so I'm left tapping away on a keyboard lamenting the fact that my next probable phone won't be as fun as I had hoped (since other phones do not suit my productivity needs or exceed my budget for overall cost of ownership). Hopefully, some of these tweaks listed above will work for the TP2 for AT&T's version.
kfortouchpro is NOT needed on this device for morphgear...
in morphgear:
o go to any button config screen
o when assigning the buttons hold down CONTROL while hitting the key
o go to global options menu
o enable 'polling' method
o enjoy!
SmartGear also works without any special tricks at all.

I've got a question. I'm using Morphgear, but I can't play some games, because I don't have multitouch on my phone. That's why I can't do, for example, uppercut in Mortal Kombat, which requires two buttons pressed at the same time. I would like to map some button to the buttons on my phone - for example red headphone, green headphone, the volume buttons, etc. It would be great. I tried some applications like AE Button or Dred Sensor, they work with typical using the phone, but not in Morphgear. When I try to map the keys in options, it looks like the are mapped, but they don't work in any game. Is it possible to do that? I don't want to buy external bluetooth controller, I want to use the buttons on my phone.

to get mine to work i simply mapped the keys using the on screen(pop-up form the bottom) keyboard rather than the physical keyboard. it then worked on the physical keyboard. I got this method somewhere on the forums not sure where.
So, you mapped the keys to the keyboard and then you were able to use for example volume buttons on the phone to control the game? That's what I want to do.
AT&T, in their typical way, pre-loaded the Tilt2 with tons of garbage bloatware. Free RAM is patheticly low, as is the roughly 100MB of storage space....
Is it possible to go about deleting stuff thats pre-installed, or is that going to require flashing a custom ROM?
Are there any ROM's available yet which keep all the critical components but remove all the garbage stuff so a user can choose to reinstall only what he wants via cab?
I sympathize with you on that. I couldn't take not being able to have more than 2 programs open without the task manager killing them. I ended up flashing to the latest NRG rom. The 2 tab opera limit was insane too.
I must say that the frustrations with doing this now include some keyboard functionality lost and the loss of the good ATT software. For instance, I can't download the ATT WiFi Hotspot software because I lost my ATT Media Mall.
Are you by chance able to post your opera proxy settings. I can try and grab the cab once I have these settings and share it with the forum.
Easiest way is to find opera.config or opera.ini and see if the settings are in there and copy to the forum. Also found if you type in opera:config in your address bar and look under proxy.
Got these settings from a FUZE forum post:
[Proxy]
Use Proxy On Local Names Check=1
HTTP Server=wireless.cingular.com
HTTPS server=wireless.cingular.com
Use HTTP=1
Use HTTPS=1
Enable HTTP 1.1 for proxy=1
Seems to have done the trick. I'll upload the ATT Wifi Cab tonight when I'm home.
Yea, I've also gone to the NRG ROM.... SO MUCH faster and so much more free RAM & ROM its insane.
its a real shame ATT loads so much junk on the phone. I know all carriers love to do that, but it just seems like the Tilt2 is particularly polluted with crapware.
Anyhow, now I'm happy...
I sure miss AT&T
Just got my TP2 a few days ago and loaded the NRG Photon rom yesterday... Soo much faster than the AT&T rom... I did forget about the AT&T Wifi software though... There anyway to get that software back? Anyone have the cabs? Just fyi, there's an AT&T Keyboard fix cab out there now, just doesn't map the OK button...

had to jump through some hoops to get it downloaded, I attached the cab in this post;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4748989&postcount=6
I have installed it, but haven't actually tried it out yet at a hotspot.
For you folks that installed the NRG rom: Did you find a keyboard .cab for the Tilt2 that is 100%?
The existing keyboard cab fixes 98% of the issue.
The two buttons that dont map correctly are
1) OK button on the keyboard
2) PTT buton (below the volume on the side)
Both can be fixed by using Keyboard Config controller (do a search). I've been able to remap the PPT button, just waiting on someone to explain what to map the OK button to.
So ya, its a 2-step process but it can be 100% correctly functioning with the NRG or any other custom rom
I will be getting Tilt 2 & selling in Dec 1st week
Anyone who Dont want to Pay Full price can buy from me for Cheaper
Cos I will be buying HD 2
If anyone Interested

I remember reading somewhere else that people were mapping the OK button to some command like "Go Back" which some felt was the closest approximation to the OK button. As for the PTT button, a lot of people (including myself on the stock ROM) have mapped to the camera.

I mapped my PTT to screen rotate.
I'm finding that even with the latest cab, you still have to remap your bottom row function shortcuts. However, the biggest bother is that on the unlock screen and certain other applications, the top row is still read as the default TP2 number row. Perhaps we're still missing some settings.

I did this myself at one point, but then had to do a hard reset. Now I don't have screen rotation as an option in the Settings -> Personal -> Buttons dialog, and I can't remember what I might have done to enable it. Help! (please)
[ edit ]
OK, either I'm blind or I did something, 'cause now the option is there.
i found a solution for the "ok" key..
you map the "ok" key first for anything on the Keyboard control/config program, update config, then uncheck the box and update again...
THEN, download AEB button Plus and install that, press add new key, press the ok key, and map that to "ok/close"... soft reset, and you're good to go, just dont mess with "ok" button on keyboard control program and you're good to go...
i also mapped long press on the "ok" key to open notes,

It is the latest updated version of Dosbox from adosbox.googlecode.com, with keys mapped to match the G2 keyboard. It's my first actual packaged Android app, so hopefully I didn't screw anything up.
Mouse support is disabled, only the left ALT key works to access extended characters, and the ALT key seems to become stuck if you hold it down for too long, but you can un-stick it by pressing it once and releasing.
The track pad is a little too sensitive for my liking, but a few CGA games I tried seem to work well (Telengard, Ultima IV, Legacy of the Ancients.)
You'll need to put DOSBOX.CONF from adosbox.googlecode.com in the root folder of your sdcard.
I don't make any promises as to whether this works or how well it works!
*edit*
Just to clarify, this is not MY port, all I did was take someone else's hard work and fix keymappings for the G2.
Also, no matter what you set the CPU cycles to, it seems to run as fast as it possibly can. It consumes 100% CPU usage and does not hibernate in the background when you switch apps, so be careful!
*/edit*
sweet!
DOSbox!
thx
Has this worked for anyone?
This worked for me, which is great. Made it easier to play with.
It is a tad slow, and there is no sound, but hey, it's dosbox on a friggin cell phone!
The real problem with this port is the lack of a good way to do savestates in DosBox. Since the video hardware can be weird and restoring its state can be tricky there is no official support for saves states in DosBox at all, although there have been some patches.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic here. Thanks for the work fixing the keyboard.
How did you do this? I have a motorola Flipside and I would like to fix the adosbox key mappings for it. Is there anything I can do with settings like the Mapper.txt file, or does it require modifying the code? (I know its not the best phone but my family is on att and they are paying the bill)
I was able to work around not having colon by using this keymap file: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837002 and then changing SEARCH to SEMICOLON
Other then this i didn't see any other characters that weren't there (even though some were presented incorrectly)
I am new to adosbox, does this mean I could finally run windows 3.1net on my G2? Lookout ms paint, here I come!
Wait, no mouse? Bummer.

How did you modified the bindings? I've changed left and right arrow keys mappings to shift and dot in mapper-0.74.map but it has disabled trackpad x axis
And do you know which codes have these two shortcut keys (that ones with three dots and numbers)?
I'm trying to remap keys for adosbox 0.2.5
Greetings.
----------edit---------
I've managed to change the:
Left FN - it's recognised as Left alt key
Left Shift
Tab
...as 3 of 4 arrow keys.
This disables trackpad scrolling however.
But it let's for playing dos games like Hocus Pocus and so on where you need arrow keys.
Do you (or anyone) know what are the numbers of following keys?:
Keyboard menu key
Shortcut key 1
Shortcut key 2
Search key
Sym key
We've got much room to bind.
Or maybe anyone knows where or how to check those numbers?
I know you are not the original author of the android port of DOSBox but I just cannot get any replies from the person listed as the author and I need to find out how to change things like the display resolution, etc.and thought you might know.
I have a dos program that runs fine on my DOSBox 0.74 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. But every time I try to run it on aDOSBox installed on my rooted android 2.3.4 phone, aDOSBox crashes and throws me out into android. I need to find out how to find out what is causing the crash. I think it might be the display but am not sure. Can you help?
Thanks.
I got the Logitech K400r keyboard to use with USB OTG on my N5. At first the home button would take me to my homescreen and the esc button would act as a back button. Recently these buttons don't do these functions anymore. Instead the home button takes me to my calendar and the esc button does nothing. The music button still opens google play music as it did before, but many of the previous functions either don't do the same thing or do nothing.
I've tried adding .kcm and .kl files to my keychars and keylayout folders with the proper vendor and PID naming but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know what to change or how to get back the old keyboard functionality? Is there a way to reset the physical keyboard mapping or something?
Thanks in advance!
