Problem with button after installing Voice Command - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Hi!
I have installed Voice Command and all was working great until first soft reset...
Something bad happens to harware button nr 4 (that with a bubble, next to
camera button). All functions mapped to this button are activated only
after holding that button for a few seconds. If you just tab that button -
nothing happens... If I uninstall VC - problem disapears...
I know that this is an old problem (even on WM5 after installing VC), but
I don't find any solution... And I know that there is a solution, becouse on ROMs
when VC is included, that button is working OK...
So dev's or anyone - pls share with me

I have compared 3 registry and files snaps, bout I don't find there
any solution... So if anyone can find what registry change is responsible
for that strange button behaviour, I'll be grateful...
So:
Result1.txt is compare of snaps taken before and after installation of VC
Result2.txt is compare of snaps taken after installation, but before and
after first soft-reset
It is easy to read - all lines starting with < are old values, and lines
starting with > are the modified/new ones...
Thx in advice! This will help not only me - but all the people who are
using VC

I have found an solution for this! OK, maybe this is not real solution
(still needs someone to find what registry change is responsible for this weird
button behaviour), this is more like backdoor for button problem, but it works
Now I have something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It looks great, huh? I don't remenber when I have possibility to map
all the button functions! (I think that in last official WM5 ROM)
OK, You need a registry editor, WM6 without Voice Command (I haven't
tested if this will work, when VC is build into ROM - besides, only with VC from here,
announce for incoming calls will work), Voice Command Fixed for WM6 and
offcourse HTC Universal
Note: This fix will work only if your "Record" button has been messed up
after isntalling VC!
After applying this fix, you will have to possibility to use Record button
as before installing VC, and you will have a new function - other action
mapped to Press & Hold for Record button!
1. Open you registry editor and navigate to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
2. Find key 40C4 and rename it to 40C5
3. Create new key and mane it 40C4
4. Open key 40C5, copy all values from there to 40C4 key
5. Open 40C4 and change value of Name to "Record (Hold)", for example
You Keys key should look as here:
And it is done! Now in Settings -> Button windows all buttons
will be functional as before installing VC, and you have received
a bonus - a new action key to map
PS. I still search for a proper solution, why record button (40C4) has
transformed into 40C5 after isntalling VC! Pls, I know, that many
devs here know WM registry well - pls look at my compare results....
This will help a lot!

Thanks! I've been using KDSkamal's WM6 Beautiful Edition which is nice and fast but, among other minor things, didn't have the Record (Hold) button visible. Using your suggestion I was able to successfully restore and map it.

I tried this, and I get the announcements via handset speaker, but not over BT... Even after changing the configuration settings to use regardless of free time, and to use for BT all of the time and again to use BT if available... I did not have to use the VC BT Fix by Zajules after installing this... and BT worked as before...
We are closer, good work, but how did you get it to work over BT... Once we know that, Microsoft should compensate all that have worked to make this a reality... Just wish I was one of them... Ha...

Thanks Mr. Groch!
I was going to try this registry fix on my Mogul, but I already had 40C5 key, and didn't think I should try to rename another to this one.
Instead, I was able to just reassign the record button using AEButton Plus and it's working fine.

In need of a special task manager to my PDA..

Okey.
I got a Qtek S100 (or Magican, as you call it...).
I've been searching around för task managers that fits my needs, including this forum. I've tried the most popular, and some other, but haven't got jackpot yet.
All of the task managers I've tested works like this: Hit an icon with the pen (or finger...) and a menu pops up.
I want to press a hardware button, to make the menu open.
A long time ago I had such a program. I had it on both of my iPAQ models. A 3630, and a 3660.
On these models these program was attatched to the right buttons, se picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I'm not sure what these programs where named, but now you've got a clue what I need.
Any idéas of programs?
Is it not possible for you to remap the buttons, I mapped the camera button on my xda 2 to execute tomtom for instance.
dont waste time trying to map the send/cancel button.
there is no way to map.
i have tried all the whole list of Mapping button program from pocketgear.
none able to do it
probably you want to download a program that has 2 functions in each hardware button
for example.
1. calendar (press one)
1. pocket word (press and hold)
2. contacts (press one)
2. pocket excel (press and hold)
so on...
there u go, you can launch 8 applications
The problem is not to execute a program, that I can do well. The problem is TO OPEN A MENU.
For instance, press a hardware button and the start menu opens...
But, I want a task bar, that I can open it's menu by pressing a hardware button.
the start menu is just like a launcher
i have no idea how to map the start menu to a button
anyway, let calculate the step
using finger to press start menu (only 1 move)
using finger to press hardware button (only 1 move)
since no solution, we have to face it

do you mean iTask??
buzz
I found "magic button" to be a useful task switcher - but I don't know a way of using it with the hardware buttons. I also use buttonMax - you can create a macro that taps the start menu and assign the macro to a hardware button. I use "program menu" as my start menu which supports hiararchial menus so you can have access to a large amount of apps using a couple of button presses.
http://www.pocketmax.net/buttonMax.htm
I have already tested before this question is asked.
the only thing that cannot be done (that how i feel), is by configuring the 'send' button to map to a program (such as photos contacts 1.0d)
urh.. this photos contacts is not the built in program, it is an external program

The application you (and us early starters) used is called iTask, written by Thumbs Up software. They released a stand-alone version with lots of extra features called GigaTask http://www.gigatask.com/.
Hope this helps.

Problem with AutoKeyLock & Vito copy/paste...

Hi there,
I just discovered the AutoKeyLock program and immediately hit the problem with "Cannot hook the keyboard".
So I renamed my VitoCopyPaste.exe to .eze and rebooted.
This allowed AutoKeyLock to work.
Just out of interest, I renamed VitoCopyPaste back to .exe and it ran fine. So that suggests to me that both applications can co-exist as long as AutoKeyLock is started first.
So, 65000$ question, is there any way to control the startup order?
BTW I'm running Dr. Gonzo's WM 6.1 ROM on my Vox if that makes a difference?
TIA,
Richard
You can't use both apps on your vox, you must choose one or the other.
Sorry.
That's not true! I have them both working when I automatically start AutoScreenLock and manually start copy/paste.
I can see them both in task manager, Honestly!
If I knew how to take a screen shot, I'd post it.
R.
No, if autokeylock is launched first (screensaver active), vito copypaste don't work, if vito copypaste is launched first, autokeylock don't work.
It's a fact, only one soft can hook the keyboard.
Bye.
I am using "SmartToolkit 1.0.0.RC08" for: autokeylock, copy/paste and key mapping, ( "celle task" is mapped on center d-pad button).
OK Here's a screenshot from my phone showing both apps running:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

Believe you, yes that you can run both binaries at the same time.
The $65,001 question (which is what Fireburned is trying to say), is if both applications actually function when running together?
Running the two apps is ofcourse possible, but the beauty is they wont work simultaneousely . Its very simple, how can two apps lock the same hardware device? Think about it. You are using a dialup modem and are already connected to some network through it, now you start and another dialer and again want to use the same modem to dialup some other network, is it possible ?
Yes, they both work.
Shaunak.it, I don't know too much about Windows Mobile but in other OS's you have the concept of chaining where several programs can register an interest in a particular interrupt or device.
Thinking about it, WM must support something similar, otherwise how does the screenshot program see the * key pressed whilst both AutoKeyLock & Vito Copy & Paste are running?
Returning to my original question, is there any way to control the order that programs are started at boot time?
R.
dicko99 : I don't believe you, sorry
Phrak and shaunak.it : Thanks you, it's what i want to say, both applications can run simultany, but only the first launched app works.
Bye.

Yeah! the other program will get access to the device only after the first service let go of it's hold
Video proof
Enjoy!
try to make an sms text message and use vitocopypaste to select some words and cut/paste it somewhere else.
you will notice it doesn't work, because a carriage return is automatically inserted when keylock releases the hook to vitocopypaste.
B****r! I only tested copy/paste on a single line field...
Bye bye AutoKeyLock then!
R.
That's an old problem (not limited to the VOX) - long solved as well. Install Mobiion HookManager (free for personal use):
http://www.mobiion.com/downloads.html#hookmgr
Woo! It really works.
Thanks for the info.

yes indeed!!!

Download link please?
The forum link above is unusable for me, as I only speak English. So a download link, perhaps from a file hosting site, would be appreciated. Thanks.
Edit:
Download link is here. This is WWE ROM.
Only had a quick play, but it is looking good (on Elf). Will post back when I have had a chance to test properly.
how much ram uses this rom at first boot?
excuse my bad english please
hi man r u using m2d in this rom
On Elf at first boot:
Storage = 29.04MB
Program = 17.93MB
There is no M2D, but it does have the Microsoft home screen (Titanium?).
It seems to be a very usable ROM, and in my playing I have not had any messages about low memory.
I have found a couple of bugs however:
- WiFi does not seem to work at all (for me at least). With the Elf not being 3G/HSDPA, then WiFi is a must. Any chance of a fix?
- The RegEditor shortcut launches a task manager, not a registry editor. Can this be fixed?
- WinRar is in Turkish. How can I change this to English? After all this is a WWE ROM.
- The alarms only seem to work if the device is in the lock screen. Is this a bug? Or is this some strange "by design" thing from Microsoft?
- Also with the alarm, I have it set to repeat. But it leaves a long period of time (over 20 seconds) between repeats, meaning you do not get a continuous sound. This is not likely to wake anyone. Perhaps this can be resolved by using a longer sound?
- The HTC Task Manager Quick Menu is inaccessible from the home screen as it is overlayed by the title bar clock. I have seen this problem in other WM6.5 (23xxx) builds. Is it possible to disable the title bar clock on the home page? It is not necessary as we have the time as part of Titanium. Would disabling it then make the Task Manager accessible?
Other than that all seems really good.
There are a couple of other things (not bugs) that are worth noting:
- There is only one keyboard available. This is a full qwerty. It is a very good qwerty, but a phonepad & compact qwerty would have been good. I haven't tried installing a 3rd party keyboard, but I have read that these don't always work too well with the larger softkey area at the bottom of the screen.
- The dialer is the standard WM one, not the nice HTC one. But I would imagine that the HTC dialer would take too much memory away? So not a real big deal.
thanks for the info SilentBob! i'll try the next release

Ok, the "send" button when writing a new text doesn't work for me either. So I'm not quite sure what I did to send when testing. I can confirm that the indicated method of long click in a blank area does bring up a context menu with the send option. Not ideal however. Any chance of the send button being fixed?
I was expecting the linked "wifi reg.cab" file to fix the wifi issue. It doesn't. Installed & soft reset, but still no wifi. However, after installing this cab, I did then have further soft keyboard options. But my joy was short lived, as these do not work. If I select one of the new options, the application hangs showing a portion of the today screen where the keyboard should be. There is no input panel available at all until after resetting the device, when it goes back to the full qwerty keyboard. Cab now un-installed.
I have to be a bit hard on this.

Key mapping tool - betatester needed

For all people that haven't seen i release a version here
OLD
Hi to all, as i announce i prepare a sinple tool to change key mapping, but before release i need someone to test it (i don't have much time).
I don't accept any other user to the group because only two submit some comments.

Subscribe to this group and i post you the program...
I found this program really useful! Now I can configure each key to my likings. By the way, is there a manner of configuring the full press of the Camera button?
Did you flash latest kernel?
Feedback...
Hi,
I don't know how to post attachment in your social post (!), sorry...
What works :
- power for wake and wake-up
- call
- end-call, when your're in communication
- GPS : back
- explorer : menu
- long press power or end-call : options of phone
What doesn't works (with the configuration of tool) :
- long press call : search !
- when I see home, press end-call : wake !
- short press camera : home !
- long press camera : recent applications
And I think (if it's possible) you can make options for :
- long press end-call
- long press call
And I test the bootgenerator but impossible to generate the .sh file !!
Thank you, I hope that's help you for better tool.
Cheers.
i have update bsg try now...
Great!
Is it to say, we can use an app to config the key mapping?
Do you mean an android app?
that's a great idea liquid, i suscribe
thank you
Phone function and voicemail keypad mapping
Can this tool be used to remap the telephone keypad when the user accesses their voicemail so that the number keys show voicemail function terms like 'msg del', 'msg save', 'hear msg', 'msg replay', etc.
I don't know about other carriers but AT&T has the stupid voice prompting that tells the user what number to push to perform a function such as 'To delete this message press 7'. Wouldn't it be so much better to show under the 7 on the key instead of "PQRS' have it say 'msg del'.
I can't believe there's no android app already available that accomplishes this capability.
No, you need a program to do this
Hey this tool looks nice. It will be very usefull and from time to time the key mapping changes in some roms.
What is with the Voicerecord button? I got a pola200 and its on the top left above the volume button. Is this on a pola100 too? Or is it what you mean with camera second?
Another question: will it be possible to map a short and long press feature to each button?
Atm i use incubus froyo and on explorer button is settings on short press and keyboard on long press for example.. would be usefull for every button ;D
So good developing hope it will be finished soon and that you share this promising tool

use python 2.7, not the current/latest release 3.1, otherwise the script won't work (at least it did not on my pc )
Thanks for the answers.
Can confirm: working on pyton version 2.7, not working with version 3.1.2.
I am not sure what "Wake with" function is supposed to do. I took it like, when the screen in black and phone is locked on pressing a checked button will light the screen up. Is this how is supposed to work? For me it doesn't.
This is great..thanks!

how do I use this file?
just overwrite the file on my phone? how to do that? Thanks!
Apply android update using boot menu or bootscript generator
Works great now.
Thank you.
Hi how should I map the camera key in the Kaiser...there are also a couple of other keys (the two close to the focus wheel in the top left side of the phone) not listen in the Kaiser part. One is the other "ok" and the other is the "search" key.. wich in winMo I don't know what it does.. I think is intended to chat or something (there is a comics ballon on it)...
I'm looking around for a method for find the keycode on android but I can't find any working solution..maybe you should quickly point me in the right direction.
Look the dmesg after pressing the key is not giving any answer.. -.-
By the way it's a really great tool!
thanks
Hello! Found this thread and utility program very actual for me
I'm using HTC Diamond 2 with Android and want to remap "Power" and "End call" buttons. It is very natural to press Enc call after the conversation, but it is completely inconvenient to use it as power off... On the other hand, the top hardware button works as "Home" in Androd while it is designed to be "Power" as like on the original HTC Diamond and iPhone.
Is there any way to remap these keys functionalty in Android in a free way, say, to leave "End call" on the "End call" button, but move power off to top hardware "Power" button?
I'm new to Android, but a littlie familiar with linux, so I could edit config files if it is necessary. Thanks in advance!
You can change directly the keylayout file in your system
(find /system -name qwerty.kl)
