assign new text message screen to hard button - possible w/o SPB Pocket Plus??
I have SBS pocket plus and in my case is a memory hog... but i admit it has a nice feature where you can assign a shortcut to the new text message screen to any hard button... is there any program that can give me that feature (specifically) or any of you gentleman or ladies know how I can "activate" that shorcut from within windows, registry, etc?
New menu for wm5 will allow you to do that - assign to left or right softkeys see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40088
Or with Vjsms you can assign this program to hardware button through settings\buttons see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972
sorry if this has been asked...i can't find the answer with the search option.
anyways, i was wondering how can i remap the contacts button on the lower right part of the my today screen to launch a different program? I want to use icontacts and have it launch when i push the standard contacts button on the lower right side. I don't really want to use a program like claunch just to put one custom shortcut on the mytoday screen. Thanks !
using an atom life with wm6 pro, when i open the contacts, my two softkeys are "New" and "Menu" is there a way i can change the "new" to call? so i can directly call from here?
ok, i'm not getting a response in q&a, so, sorry if this is in the wrong section...
anyone know if it's possible to assign a shortcut to the softkey action
(ie. the softkeys are different in word to those on the today screen, can i assign a shortcut to that action)
i use a bluetooth keyboard which can be configured to any shortcut. it would be real handy to be able to just hit a couple of keys rather than reach for the devices tiny screen everytime i want to activate the menu.
cheers
or even just to have the pop up menu in word would be real handy
cheers
anyone!???
Hey desire fans
I've been wondering if it's possible to use desire's optical track pad more like a trackball on nexus one - not like the link-to-link jump but to get normal cursor for selecting text etc.
Does anybody think that would work?
if you are using sense then you can simply hold down on text you want to select, a magnifying glass will even appear for precision, and you can then extend your selection with 2 large arrows - pretty simple there
if you are not using sense (froyo i presume) then in a browser or gmail etc go to menu -> more and select text, you can then move your trackpad and it will be displayed as a cursor in which you can select text
hope this helps
If you mean when editing or entering text, you can do the following on the Desire (or probably any Sense UI phone with a trackpad):
gently swipe left / right / up / down over the trackpad to move the text cursor,
long-press (click) the trackpad to pop-up a menu with several options (select all, copy all, start selecting text, paste, etc),
after choosing "select text", the text cursor will slightly alter its appearance, and then swiping in any direction will create an expanding text selection; long-press it once more to perform Copy or Cut operations with the selected text, or to simply stop selecting text in case you changed your mind.
As the previous poster said you can usually select text using touch screen actions as well, but using the trackpad can be more accurate or just plain easier.
Enjoy
Thanks guys!
It'll make my life easier!
Ultimately what I'm looking for is just to get a normal mouse cursor - it's not just about selecting&typing in text - you can do so much more...
Is it possible to flash nexus one rom to desire? Would track pad start working as trackball then?
