HTC BIOtouch question - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hey all, this thread is getting really long but still I would like to contribute in my own way. Here is what I've found so far using the 7.7 rom from zoki.
At first I didn't really like the HTC touch features but when incorporated in a rom they just seem to work better.
The touch flo thingy i really didn't get. I would like to specify the program that should be started by touching the "music" button (MediaHubMini). One can give a path (and other name in the register) to the exe file one would like to activate using the TouchCube buttons. This doesn't work for the mediahubmini register settings. More specified, it doesn't work for the path settings. I.e I would like to use the "music" button to activate CorePlayer. I can change the name to "media" though.
On the other hand, it does work for the APlauncher register settings. I.e. I could let the mail butten activate the great Qmail program instead of the standard Windows Messenger program.
If someone knows how to change the settings for teh mediahubmini, I would actually use the HTC touch functions.
reg. settings can be found here.
[HKLM \Software\HTC\Biotouch\Aplauncher] --> changing pathsettings work!!
[HKLM \Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch]
[HKLM \Software\HTC\Biotouch\MediaHubMini] --> changing pathsetting do not work!
Hope someone can help me....thnx.

PQZII

Okay, I have been using this amazing little program for one function only for quite some time, but it is a vital ability for me (I use it to create an "esc" key to use with legacy DOS software on my desktop) that I need to access remotely to work from the road.
A co-worker recently bought a Verizon 6700 and I was going to load the same program on his computer. Apparently the nique.com website is gone.
Fortunately I have the cab file (on 2 workstations and my memory card!!) but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this, where it went, if they are still developing the app. Also, the cab I have was the one specifically for Wizards. A Google search got me to freewarepocketpc.net but the download link took me to the non-existent web page.
Does anyone have the general purpose cab file?
It is still there:
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm
But I have found a bug:
When using Hermes Dialer to dial a number, or during a phone conversation, the "up" button of the jog-dial is wrongly mapped. Instead of adjusting the in-call volume like the "down" of jog-dial, it switches to the today screen after pressing the "up" jog-dial.
Could anyone confirm that they have the same issue? Thanks.
This was 'the' big thing I was missing since I switched from my Nokia Comminicator to the Imate JasJar.. The Ctrl+Alt keys.
I'm soooo happy I finaly found a solution through this great program.
Many thanks!
I have it installed on the Crossbow WM6 2.02.
I looking for the gsGetFile.dll file to be able to see all files.
But when I click on the link I see a Japanse website, were I can't find the download of the file. Is there a directlink available?

TMobile SDA (US) w/ WM6- Buttons not working!

Let me just begin by saying that you all are awesome. I am incredibly impressed you were able to get WM6 working on the Tornado. I have a TMobile SDA (USA). I used Andot's Perfect WM6 ROM to flash. I didn't have any problems other than a few spontaneous reboots after flashing the ROM. I do have a question though.
After flashing, I now cant get my T-Mobile button nor my review, play, and forward buttons(the ones that are on the same row) to work. I would like them to work with media player like they used to. I could give a rat's ass about the T-Mobile button, but it would be nice to be able to assign it or any of those other buttons to a specific function.
Is there a specific customization CAB I was supposed to install for the TMobile SDA (USA) to get those buttons working? How can I use or reassign those buttons?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hello atarilynx,
I have your same phone, which is also identical to the sp5m.
go get phil's extras.zip from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1417372&postcount=4
and install the sp5m button fix cab
after that, you can to into wmp and assign the buttons to do their normal tasks.
also, after applying that fix, the t-zones button will open to an ie search page.
Many thanks...
Thanks a bunch...that works for me. You all rock!
Maybe one other question...when I imaged my phone, after it was done, it would reset about every few minutes. Sometimes I would try opening stuff, and it would seem to lock up, then reset.
Things seem to be ok now... I have not had it reset on me once after the first few hours. Did others have that experience too?
Neither of the phones that I've flashed have had that problem.
Both of them being TMob SDAs.
I have no clue why your phone was doing that, hope it got that out of it's system!
actually if you guys notice, it still doesnt work. you will try and configure the fastforward button, but when you try to hold it down, it only sees it as a press, not a hold.
true, the hold and seek feature is lost from those buttons, but you can still do that with the joystick if you must.
I personally have no problem with that as I hardly seek through songs.
something else is still tweaked though, on one of my sda's, i did the button fix then installed the tcpmp shortcuts from mobile.surrealnetworks.com/SDAapps.htm
now the buttons do not line up at all with what they are supposed to do. I think the "previous track" button becomes the play button and whatnot.
maybe phil can come up with a better sp5m fix
or, you know, someone else who actually knows what's going on.
I need to sit down some evening and really dig in and figure out what exactly these fix cabs are doing.
I think you need to find the attribute for WMplayer which is used for seeking forward or backward, then save it as Long_AP#.lnk where # is the button number

In the past, I have had poor luck with assigning a Long_AP command when there wasn't one already set for that button. Not sure if something needs to be added to the registry as well?
Otherwise, I would set long buttons for all sorts of apps :-/
Like, in Andot's rom, I love having the long home go to celetask.
Same, I tried to assign an attribute to long_ap, it did not work, why dont you copy the lnk files from AKU2 ROm ?
That is probably a good suggestion, tho, I still think there is probably more to it . . . I would try it out, but I'm moving in a couple days, and have priorities that must be attended to :-(
i think it has something to do with htcwmpplugin.dll, plus maybe sumthing to do with this registry i found it when i dumped the tmobile rom... and checked the rgu files
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\UIPlugins\{72F3E437-17E6-484E-9C96-13181D4039CB}]
"FriendlyName"="HTC Key Mapping UI Plug-in"
"Description"="HTC Key Mapping UI Plug-in"
"Capabilities"=dword:1
i havent tried most ,too lazy!!! hehehe!
as it has been explained in many posts in the past the htcwmpui plugin is for a homescreen wmp plugin and nothing to do with the buttons
oh ok sorry about that... will it have to do with keybddr.dll then?
What are you guys talking about "assigning attributes" to the long_ap#.lnk?
Are you talking about adding in a command line style switch to change the way the intended application will handle the shortcut?
actualy, i have followed these and othere forums for quite some time and i have yet to see if anyone has figured out how to get the media buttons working on roms were that feature does not come by default

Its not attribute, its parameter/arguments
Yes ! thats what we are talking about
I have created a cab file for the same. but the problem of using the htcwmpplugin is that the keys are mapped differently. the internet explorer key is mapped to the previous button and the play key becomes the previous key.. which is a problem.. that's why i want to know which keypad drivers are being used. The keypad drivers used for tornado music or imate sp5m is a little bit different.
Try using it..

i think i got it... i dumpeed the t-mobile rom took the keybddr.dll folder and incorporated it into andots ppe v6. i also removed the keybddr.dll had in it...
after building it...
i then i copied the sp5m zip files (those short_ap1-4 .lnks) to my windows folder, installed the cab tejasphatak gave here... then it all worked...
the keybddr.dll folder
here is the file incase you guys want it...

Htc Touch On A Wizard

With all the files everybody has produced on this website, I'm able to get very close to my wifes phone, but not exact I have a g4 wizard. She has an elf, it's so cool, but no keyboard, hah hah. Anyway, I'd like to build a custom rom(I will read and learn all about that when I'm ready), but I need to be sure that I can get certain features to work correctly before I start rom building. I'm currently using the wizard_19855_Clean_V1 rom and it's great, stable everything works. What I'm doing:
1. Install as many of the htc apps as possible(I can't get some to work)(ie htc task manager) (I can handle this)
2. I want the htc cube to work oem. no ftouchflo, no sclpc++(f)(need help here)
3. Strip the OS of unused files to boost performance(need help here)
4. Build a new rom(I'll figure this out when I'm ready)
2. I need help with the "oem"(I think oem) cube I attached htc_touchflo.zip so everyone can see what I'm working with. Most of the files do not exist on my wizard with 19855. What I've found is that the cube will work(somewhat) with these files(- (minus) touch.dll). I've left the touch.dll that came with 19855 alone and it was bigger in size so it must do more...right? lol The first time the cube loads(by clicking on biotouch shortcut, not sure if that's right, I could preload it in startup, but...) it pulls up the contacts page and displays it correctly(but nothing works), from there I can rotate the cube with finger gestures horizontally, it's a little slow but it works 195 MHz baby, yeah. The aplauncher and mediahub are there, very minimal just blank black place holders. Okay, so a finger gesture down will "minimize" the cube, but it doesn't refresh the screen back to what was there previously. I think it will pull up again with a finger gesture(can't remember but clicking one of the shortcuts will definately bring it back), but it doesn't display correctly until you rotate horizontally. What I'm looking for: I'm wondering if there is someone willing to work with me to get the oem cube working. Probably need support for .dll files ie(touch) and then the registry, I'm fine editing the registry, but I don't know what the default settings are or should be. I've tried a couple of the cube settings apps out there and none seem to work in this scenario.
3. A link similar to slimming down windows xp: the complete guide(cool article), but for windows mobile 5-6.1. What can we pull out of this bloated os without causing issues to stability? Like pictures unused .dll files etc.
Or look at it like what really needs to be there? From there I will build my rom...Thanks in advance to anyone willing to partake.
Anyone willing to help?
In Addition
when the cube is up, the aplauncher and mediahub buttons do work, but there not mapped to anything, so it says to reinstall the application. Where is this thing pulling(looking for) this information? registry?
I think I titled my post correctly
Maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree? Has this been done before? I wasn't able to find a working oem version of the cube for the wizard and I wasn't satisfied by ftouchflo and the different cube clones out there. No offense is intended, I think they are great alternatives, but I'd like to figure out the oem version. If no one is interested, that's fine, I just thought that someone else would like to see this available because I did. If anyone is available to provide guidance to me that would be gladly accepted as well. Or show me some links as to why this is not possible, that would be great so I'm not wasting my time if someone has already tried to do what I'm doing. Any replies gladly accepted, maybe it will get a conversation going, communcation can drive things as well. Thanks
Trying Attachments again...

man the touchflo dont download wotsup with dat
I tested downloading it, I had to be logged in to do so though. In the download there is a folder called cube, I put this on my start menu so I can interact with the cube when I don't know where it's at.
I think if someone could point me to or post the default registry settings for the touch, heh duh, I'll ask my wife if I can look at hers...Should be simple enough. I have an idea from a couple of posts over in the elf forum, I think her is a vogue though not sure what the difference is. Any one know? Is it just the provider model like 8125 compared to tmobile mda?
I'm trying to get each of the cube applications to open independently via a shortcut menu similar to the programs folder. Right now I have the media hub mini working, so I will copy the settings for this application to a new .reg file.
Oh, my wife's touch's files copied everything registry and files and put them on my wizard with no luck, but the registry may contain some interesting info. But all the apps are a different version though.
80%
Similar to other post, I can't get the quickdial to work correctly. With the settings below, I can open, close, and spin the cube. The aplauncher & the media hub work. The quickdial does not, seems to open, but does not display. I can see the process running, but nothing. If your interested, here are the registry settings to get this to work:

The above settings work on my g4 wizard with only the attached htc_touchflo.zip copied to the windows directory. Anybody got a working quickdial.exe for the wizard? I've noticed there are different versions out there, maybe there is one that works. It needs to open up from the shortcut in the zip file and by no other means. Thanks
Well, I've tested different versions of the quickdial app that I've found and none of them seem to function. Am I wasting my time? Does anyone know?, please reply. Does anyone have any links to what files can be removed while conserving stability. For instance if I want to use advanced task manager, is it possible to remove the regular task manager files and links?

There's a couple problems in doing this as I see it...
First, Changing the Soft Keys when using the WinMo interface (NOT Manila/TouchFlo) requires a registry Hack. I'm assuming that there's prolly a different registry setting somewhere to change what Manilla sets the SoftKeys to, but you'd have to find that first. Maybe someone who is more familiar with the Manilla interface and where registry/settings are, could give you that info...
Secondly, I don't believe (or at least know of) an Executable app that Locks the device. I believe the built-in "Device Lock" functionality is calling a DLL or running service/exe or something, but I don't know of an EXE in the windows directory that you can click on to lock your device. Another post I read mentioned something of a "lock.exe" file in the \Windows\ directory but I believe that was a reference to a 3rd party app since I do not have/see that file. Again someone with more knowledge - please feel free to step in and correct/inform.
in light of those two problems I would recommend using the built-in (or at least built-in on my phone - Fuze w/ WinMo) "Long Press End Key" option found in Start > Settings > System which can be set to lock the device when the "end" key is held down. This option may or may not exist on your phone... I am not sure if it's just something HTC included on mine, or what.
I hope this helps a little bit, or someone else can be of better assistance.
found it
thnaks for ur answer i found it de devicelock is hidden in windows right now i cant remember if its a.exe or what but its named devicelock.
i sold that phone to a friend and now i got an opal, its funny because i found my own q while looking for the same app

[REQ] Comm manager

made a search but didnt come up with what I wanted...
what I'm looking for is the comm manager with 3G --> GSM mode among the options
I had it on my topaz, but I'm not quite sure which chef used it, if it was Dutty or some of the other 6.5.1 ROMs
thanks in advance
haven't found anything yet, but making a shortcut to CMBandSwitch from /windows folder seems to work for now
You don't need a comm manager. You can put the 3G option in the default one using Advanced Config. I did that (I like that option too) and it works like a charm. You'll have to give up on one of the existing entries - I chose Push Mail, as I never use it.
hm, had no Idea about that - will give it a try then, thanks for the info!
do you use any special AC (is there a general one for wm 6.1/6.5 or are they hardware specific?)
Nope, just use the last version (3.3 if I'm not mistaken).
got this over at the tweak thread i think, haven't tried it myself though, still using the windows built in but maybe someone else is interested
I'm trying to use CMBandSwitching.exe from the command line in order to be able to script 2G/3G switch over.
I have GProfile running and when i invoke a "Power Saving Profile" i would like to call the CMBandSwitching.exe from the command line and tell it to switch to 2G.
Is anyone aware of such parameters?
Thanks !
