[Bug] Need help: Custom button [:.2] is not getting saved

Hey Guys,
Because the people that have experience with what im looking for, are here. Im posting this here. Excuse me if this is not the appropriate place.
It's probably a small thing. But I've googled and googled.. but nobody seems to have posted this.
One of the customizable buttons in Virtuous Unity 2.37 is not working.
[:.1] works just fine, [:.2] forgets its function after some tasks, but its sertain the setting is gone after a reboot. It does ask for a program to bind to the key.. but the setting does not 'stick'. Anyhow, this shows the Keymap is working. I dont know how HTC saves it after that.. or where!
I am looking for a solution, does anyone know how to make it so that this buttons is usable again? I recon its like addon 1 line to a file.. since [:.1] works fine:/
ty for your time.

I already Apologised for that.. The beauty of this situation.. I cant delete my post! Nice aye?
+ Do you ever read the Q&A forum?? thought so >< Dev's dont go there
I've posted this 3 times over the past 2 weeks.. in different sections&forums.. no responce
so please, lets make the most usefull situation out of this, until a mod comes and helps move this thread.
[edit]+everyone using Virutous Unity on a vision will notice this.. and benifit from a fix[/edit]

Virtuous also have a bug tracker, don't have the address with me at the moment though.
Should probably check that, no doubt it will have been posted a couple of times.
You could even go visit their irc channel, #virtuousrom on freenode.

So what makes you think it will get answered here in the wrong section if it is not getting answered by the guys who put together virtuous?
Common sense man.

Seriously? We are not just moving threads. It is this attitude that has moved us to resort to issuing infractions for wrongly posting in Development forums....which is what you just earned yourself.

Tidying-up/over-hauling the stickies etc

Over the next few days, I'm going to do a bit of tidying up in the various Defy sections.
The first part of that involves a new sticky in each section clearly stating what that section is for, what threads are or are not appropriate (ie no questions in the Dev section).
Hopefully this'll help cut down on the number of threads that need moving.
The proposed second part I would like some feedback on...
The act of stickying certain threads/guides/etc I've always found a little hit-and-miss and can inadvertently lead to unintended favouritism, not to mention you can eventually end up with a ridiculous number of threads stickied.
So the idea I had was that in the General and Dev sections (the two that currently have stickied threads), those threads would be un-stickied and replaced with a roll-up thread - kinda like this except there would be no other threads stickied along with it (other than the one mentioned in the first part that would explain the purpose of the section).
It's just a way of trying to keep the section as tidy as possible, though it's not the messiest, which is why I'm not 100% set on going ahead and would prefer to hear what people think.

A little clean up is a good idea.
I'm for a main roll-up thread in every section, that way the useful guides/infos will be easier to find/edit.

Best thing for now is to report the thread for maintance/moving that's what i have been doing with the dev section
Thanks again Step666 for cleaning up the ones i reported...... +1 on the rollup thread thread it makes things a lot easier for new users as they can find everything in one thread.

support the idea fully (both), but have to ask for something: to always keep that one stickied thread up-to-date, otherwise it has no sense. and the thread you linked didnt mention the 'all-in-one defy beginners guide' which i find very useful for everybody, so i think that should be involved too. and thanks for looking after the defy section, it did get quite messy over the last few weeks, months.

Is it possible to have two xda members governing one same thread? It would be best to keep a thread up to date if two people where allowed to edit the OP. Could it be possible?

It would list all the current guides that are to be found in our Defy forums at the moment
Voted for the roll-up thread. What suggestions could we have about it? Like, which threads should be included?

I hate it when someone quotes the OP's post after 20-30 pages only to ask a question whose answer was in the previously 20-30 unread pages. Also, when someone quotes a really LONG post only to add a short answer/joke/offtopic question or a smiley and an encouragement.

Similar to the one I linked-to, with a series of links to useful guides etc - except I'd probably go a step further and include a short description of what each thread contained.
There'd be one in this section and one in the Dev section.

I agree.
And that's where I'd need your help - whilst I own a Defy my primary handset now is my Galaxy Nexus, so I'm just not as clued up on things here as the rest of you.
So whilst I'd do my best to keep it updated, if there was a thread you felt was missing from the roll-up, then you'd be best to PM me and I could add it.

Unfortunately, there's no way to force people to pay attention/follow the rules/behave like vaguely-competent individuals.
So all we can do is react to people who have posted in the wrong section.

No, unfortunately the forum software doesn't allow for that.
I guess an alternative would be to have the 'roll-up' lists in the Defy Wiki where anyone can edit them and I would just have a link to them from the one sticky in each section.

PLEASE MAKE A MOVE THREAD BUTTON FOR OPs

We need this more than anything
Looking around xda seeing loads of locked threads and threads asking for help in the development section are just...annoying. And they look bad on the op.
If users were given the option to move there threads to the general section of that forum we could save moderator time and people the embarrassment of a little mistake. It would make sense to grant only the OP this option (and mods) and maybe a report move button that would inform a mod or do an automatic public vote.
This would also allow users with more....neglected forums (such as the Wildfire S to be able to have control over their forum where mods can't due to man power)
Come on xda, let's see this happen.

Well let me see. Subscribed to over 3500 threads that i get emails update on every day, around 600 pms on a slow day about issues, and 6 hours of cleaning up after people. Thats even before i do anything for my device. So yeah it can be but it is a labor of love.

Do you know how much trouble that would cause? If they cant get it right the first time, who's to say they will the next?

Couldn't be any worse than it is now. Hell half the time the mods aren't in agreement on where a thread goes. It happens a lot and it has happened to me. I post. Some mod moves it. Another mod sees it and thinks it is the wrong place and closes the thread! Lol

i would love to see this too. i mistakenly post stuff sometimes and want to move stuff. i just became a senior member and would eventually like to become a mod and developer. moving threads is becoming a must for me. it would be awesome to see what i can do, but need to learn the basics.

This would likely cause more issues than it would solve. Right now the system works pretty well - if you post in the wrong forum you can always report your own thread and ask for it to be moved.

Cut Spamming !!!

Please stop spamming pals!! The forum is getting really unreadable. Moderators do something will you...?

mods are doing their thing bro, the thing is, newbies are just uncontrollable and they keep on spamming

And can't they just tighten the rules so that any double post will be removed and direct the newbies to the right path. I know that its hard to keep checking the forums all day but for some reason i just can't keep looking at the precious threads getting suppressed by the spams no one in the future will be able to find the useful threads and the forum will not go in the way that it is supposed to.

Add q & a sub forum. Why is it so hard to create it? Asking questions is seriously not spamming. Asking all the questions in just one faq thread is ridiculous since everyone want to get as attention as possible by making a new post. Many questions in faq thread are left unanswered which makes the newbies frustrated and spam the forums. Simple solution, make a q & a sub forum. Problem solved.

Do I need to post a link to Azrienoch's N00B introduction video, where he outlines NO SWEARING???
This includes vulgar language and crude humour. Also, bear in mind that while we do ask that users speak English on the XDA-Developer forums, the person you appear to be picking on is of a nationality that most likely speaks a language other than English, so he may not fully understand some English yet... (Google Translate is not reliable most of the time, either).
On the other hand, Mr. N00B who can't search and post in the right section,
Please watch this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmvCpR45LKA ), then watch it again. Afterwards, look at your post, then reflect on how many guidelines that Azrienoch (rather emphatically) set down you have broken.
Now, both of you quit your fighting! This is not the kind of image or rep that our beloved forums need to be displaying... So, yeah... Peace, Love, Respect, Loyalty and Honour, people!
