Bluetooth icon size function change + calendar default view

Hi,
im lookin for some info on changin the size(making it slightly larger in size) and function of the bluetooth icon on my Imate jam, i was hoping to make it a tap, tap+hold icon, so that tap would activate/deactivate BT an tap+hold would go to further settings. anyone heard of anything like this going around, id prefer to customize the original rather than using a 3rd party fix unless it fixes the original directly. any suggestions as to how i might go about this would be well appreciated.
while im at
anyone heard of a way to make the stock calendar always open on a certain view?..ie always open to month view even when closed from a different view. i know if you close it it will retain the last setting but i usually select day from month and edit then close..which sets the view to day..... i assume it would probably be a reg edit but i couldnt find anything in the even mentionin the calendar. again any help would be welcome.
thanks Speedn

Haven't heard of something like that, but maybe this is a useful alternative for you:
Try buzz_lightyear's SwitchIt (look at this post). With thisyou can place shortcuts on your today screen which allow you to control your bluetooth settings. Besides switching bluetooth on/off/discoverable you also can switch on/off your devices infrared. It runs perfectly on my MDA compact.
I'm working on a little frontend, which will allow you to control all your connection settings on one single page (see also at the above mentioned post).

Re: Bluetooth icon size function change + calendar default v
Ahh Buzz's 'switch it' is cool..
i also found this little beauty just before i checked back here
miniBT trial
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=16666
they are both quite nice, buzz's has more function though.
miniBT is sligthly smaller in size(13kb) and only has the one funtion,on/off.
thanks for pointin buzz's post out
I will see if buzz can do anythin like what i was chasing.

Keyboard shortcuts for OK n Start ???

hi guys,
Hope some one can tell me , how to create shorcuts like "Ok" and "StartMenu" on the keyboard.I think this feature would be very useful ,,, I am sure some body might be thinking about this already ?
And one more thing I heard is the American model touch pro At& T model has "ok" and startmenu keys on the keyboard, so if upgrade the uk model htc touch pro rom with AT & T rom , then will I be able to use the keyboard shortcuts ?
Expecting some answers from our pro colleagues....
vj

For me can be better to unbind the home/back buttons from their default functionalities and handle them with AEBPlus. So I can have 4 functions on each button without their preinstalled functionalities.

I am not sure you can unbound home. Anybody tried?

I am sure,that someone will hack it. It is just a software. Earlier or later...

Yes Home will be really important so yuo have a better use of the phone with a single-hand. Hope someone will fix this topic!

any more suggestions here with regards to home and OK buttons on KEyboard ?
Thought I will bump this , so that some one can answer to this really!

I'm using PQzII to map Ctrl+Enter → OK. You can also setup keyboard shortcuts for Start, Today, Alt+Tab, etc.

This remap the keyboard AND buttons or only the keyboard?

Thank you for the tip , I will try this and then I will report back.

PQzII it's a wonderful app, works nicely!
Thanks!

nice app, i will try this out as well

I realize that configuring PQzII might not be very obvious, so here's some hints on how I've set it up for myself:
Run PQzII_Setup.exe to open the options.
Set CTRL as CTRL. I want to use my FN key as ALT, so enter the key code 0xEC for ALT since there is no actual choice for FN (more info below):
Now I can use FN+[key] mappings to simulate a regular PC.
FN+S → Start menu
FN+D → Desktop/Today screen
FN+Tab → Alt+Tab to switch programs
PQzII doesn't list all available keys (such as FN) but you can use PQz_CHECK to figure out the keycode and then manually enter it into PQzII if it isn't listed. For example, the SYM key is 0xE6. Just be sure to exit PQzII before you run PQz_CHECK:
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQz_CHECK.htm
Note: there's some inconsistency in how the TPro and PQzII handle sticky keys differently, so you might have to press some keys twice. Also, it goes without saying that you might get problems if you map shortcuts that already have functions, like FN+W → £.
Hope that helps
Edit--
After some testing, it might not be such a good idea to use the FN key for mapping because the Raphael uses it as a double-sticky key (ie: press FN once for one symbol, press FN twice for FN-lock). Since PQzII treats function keys as single-sticky keys, it gets pretty buggy.

Thank you & one more request
I have also tried this software and I must say , this is a must app for every Touch Pro Users , you can literally run anything with this software.
Only one more hurdle left for me with htc touch pro, when I am using any 3rd party RDP clients like citrix ica client, input is not taking from the keyboard, its only accepting it from virtual keyboard, there is one more thread already opened for this. Hope someone can crack this one fianl issue for touch pro.
Thanks to all the users who suggested this app.

Crosslinkage
Although the current result of my little research project is limited to being able to define a different keycode for the back button for _every window class_, perhaps with some more work it could lead to actually being able to remap the back button properly.
The home button can be (slightly) tweaked using post messages as well, but more work is required.
See my post here:

remap "back" button in IE?
It's not perfectly matching the topic but I don't want to start a new thread since it also somehow matches the topic:
Does anyone know if it's possible to map the "back" hardware-key in PocketIE as "history back"? In Pocket Outlook for example you can use the back-button to return from an email to the folder list but in PIE if you hit the back-button you just minimize PIE.

Problem with install.
When i install the app to my Touch pro, i can see the icon, but when i launch the app, all it does is show a small white square next to the "START" (top left)
I have uninstalled itn and re-installed but with no success.
Any ideas guys
Regards
Rich

tap on the small white square, select "Setup" in Kontext.
Or run the setup application located in Mein Gerät (my device) - Programme (programs) - PQzII - PQzII_Setup

How can i make PQzII launch 2nd today?
I can't seem to make it find the program.
EDIT:
Copy the .ink to somewhere within my documents (I used templates nice and out of the way)
Then add a shortcut to a program select view all files and find the shortcut.

Installed and couldn't get the app started. In fact it kinda hanged my Touch Pro.

So it would be better if it works with Fn , cuz we all use it more than any key ...
nobody suggest it to the programmer ?

anyway to remap the keyboard?

i was thinking about my mogul and the keyboard there is nice since there is an OK key, START key and two option keys. I wish there was a way where we could remap the ****ion keys. God knows i don't need the Euro, t9, british pound. If we could remap a couple of those keys or add a couple say to ZXCV i think it would make the key board perfect. that way if sensor lock is enabled i don't have to unlock to do what i'm trying to do.
Sid

you could always try ae button plus

PQzII will get the job done for free. Just don't assign commands to pre-existing shortcuts (eg: ctrl+z/x/c/v for undo/cut/copy/paste) or you'll get some weird behavior.

hey thanks! PQzII worked perfect for my purpose. i was able to make shortcuts to symbols that were usually hard to reach! recommended program! you can do much more even, like make keyboard shortcuts to programs.

That program looks interesting but doesn't work all at for me.
When I click it a small white square appears above the start menu and does nothing. If I try to switch to the program, also nothing happens. And worst of all, if I close it the device stops responding completely, and I have to soft reset. I'm using the Raphael specific version, 0.0.8e2. Do you have any clue on what might be happening?

[REQ] Slingplayer fix for WM 6.5.3?

Hi...
has anyone got a solution for the bottom softkeys/menu and icons on 6.5.3..when using the Slingmobile app?
thanks
Singh

I second the request for help on this. The program is very difficult to use without the bottom row of buttons.

Moved as not software release requests go to Q&A

i would also like to see some solution for this problem

Nothing seems to forthcoming. Anybody?

Come on guys...
Someone must have a solution?
I can't go into the ins and outs.. but lets just say... v1.6 is the one that we all be using.
So.. we need to fix this version and not wait for a new version. It's not going to be fixed in a newer release.

Difficult or impossible? Without the bottom row, I cannot bring up the channel panel to change channels. Is there a way to change channels at all without that panel?

The only way I can get into full screen is to open the keyboard. Of course that's not totally practical having to have my keyboard open all the time for full screen. Have you tried something like Gyrator 2 to maybe see if when Gyrator puts it into landscape, the fullscreen activates?
I have a Touch Pro 2 BTW.

The keyboard will do the remote control tasks for you. I believe the keystrokes are the same as for the keyboard on the Desktop version:
The Numbers type numbers
G is Guide
Up and Down Arrows change channels.
X is exit, etc. I don't know where to get a full list.
Also, I set Slingplayer to Auto-Rotate using G-Config. The Window Class name is SlingClient. This gets me to full screen without opening the keyboard.
That's about the only way I can make it so I can use it.
If anybody wants the files in the program's folder I can send them. Just PM me.

Hmm, strange. I added Slingplayer to the Whitelist for autorotate, using G-Config and it's not rotating. I reboot and looked at the registry and can see it there(SlingClient), but Slingplayer just won't rotate unless I open the keyboard.

Hmm, weird, it stopped working for me as well. To be honest, I can't remember when it stopped, but it used to work. Perhaps it's the standard 6.5 builds that do it.
Well, this makes it even more important to fix this issue. I have submitted a support request to Slingbox, so we'll see what they have to say.

They fixed it!!!! YAY!!!

I have a Samsung Intrepid, I tried installing and customizing with the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5.5 but no luck. The toolbar was on the right side and my pictures wouldnt fit on the screen as well.
I was curious to if anyone had any other custom roms for Windows 6.5 on a Samsung Intrepid worth trying out??????????????

[App- mod] My little QuickMenu-modification

(Updated with a version that shows a little horizontal line on the taskbar. One can now easily move the "activation area". See attached image titled "v2".
This will work on all WM versions:
Note for WM 6.5.x users: the activation area can not be placed on the clock!
Note for WM 6.5 users: setting the offset of the first setting on the option/view tab to 393 will place the horizontal line above the battery)
Note: after installation you have to start Quickmenu manually (/Program Files/QMenu/Quickmenu.exe). Another option is to do a softreset (Quickmenu is set up to start automatically after a softreset.
-----
For users familiar with Nanlings Quickmenu (QM):
I've substituted the icons in quickmenu with transparant icons so you can place the "Q button" on the taskbar where ever you like. I've made a cab installation file that will also modify the registry entry for quickmenu in such a way that
a) the transparant Q-button is placed exactly on the battery icon of the WM 6.5.3 taskbar (setted the offset of the Q pic to 371). Very nice for one-handed operation with your right hand.
b) the running tasks are placed by default in the root of the QM-menu. This transforms QM basically in a sophisticated taskmanager. I like that more.
I thought is was wortwhile to share these modifications. Just check it out, maybe you like it.
For users not familiar with Quickmenu I like to refer to this thread There you can grab the unmodified program that will work on all WM version (including WM 6.5.3 and 6.5.5)
And...
Instructions about how you can make this work on a rom with a different language can be found here. (Problem is that when you run the program on a rom with a different language code you then 0409, which is the code for WWE-roms, you get unreadable characters)

finally! can't express how thankfull I am!

Don't know yet.

Works great on artemis-FR (just need to rename mui in programfiles and we have it in english)
BTW, is there more mui with Quickmenu to have it in our own language ?
Thanks a lot

thanks for the adjustments have not tried them yet but will. question though:
I've been using QM since I saw it in one of nrg28 ROMs. the version I downloaded (no clue where from) behaves differently:
- no action if I tap the battery button, other than notification bar showing
- QM is activated by pressing left-top on taskbar (where previous Start was, now typically black area)
- and, and this is the best part imho, it is activated by a short press on the Windows HW button no need to reprogram long press of Send or End button. brilliant!
to be honest, and definitely not want deminish your hard work, these are 3 pretty nice advantages. or am I missing something?
I don't use the Q icon (default disabled) because I couldn't see the point since the Start button/text disapeared. Battery drain is not noticable.
because of default short press on Windows hardware button feature, it is perfect for task SWITCHING. task manager is of course also directly accessible.

no complaints, great find and great mod.

Really coooool man thanx a lot

You're right, without any modifications it is as beautiful as it is !
The only thing I did was to modify it for one-handed operation. I discoverd that almost everything I do is with the right tumb while holding my device in my hand. Because of this everything what is on left side of the screen is almost out of reach. (even the bottom startbutton. I have small hands, you see). That's why I created an activation field on the battery-meter by using a transparant Q-icon. Transparant, so you see the battery-icon.
Try it, you love it.

According to this forum-member, who introduced me to this great app btw, you can change it to you language by just changing the code of mui files to the desired language code.

Yes, someone has made a finger-friendly setup for the HD2 along with some instructions of how to change the language. Look for it here
But you can try this version as well. It should give you an "activation field" somewhere around the battery icon. (don't know exactly where, but you can play with it, see first post). Very nice for one-handed operation.

by changing the mui files you wont change the language interface itself, simply only making it usable in non-wwe roms (all text will turn out as squares if you dont do this)

Ai, my fault. Thanks for correcting me.
For those who want to get it working in their own language: you can edit
Code:
Program Files\Qmenu\QMenuCfg.dll.0409.mui
Program Files\Qmenu\QuickMenu.exe.0409.mui
with the tools from this thread.
(don't forget to change the language code afterwards)
Maybe it's a good idea to share these translated mui files. Post them in this thread and I will point to them in the first post.

You were right: tried it, LOVE it
TIP1: to make QuickMenu window pop-up by a single press of the Windows key (the part I think is great to use it as a Task switcher): open QuickMenu window / select Quickmenu / select Option... / select 4th checkbox Register win key of device
TIP2: if you, like me, prefer to activate Quickmenu from the left side of the screen (I have a hard time hitting the battery icon ): open QuickMenu window / select Quickmenu / select Option... / select second TAB on the bottom called View / deselect 1st checkbox open QuickMenu / (you can of course also change the offset value to something you like. default is 192, but then you get an invisible icon in the middle of the taskbar - also kind of hard to find )
tnx to Appelflap for a great mod!

i just made a shortcut, add a nice icon and add it to the first row of program shortcuts. no need to sharpen my finger, no useless complications with the top icons... and it works in all ROMs.! Simple! so, this not only for the "bottom buttons" ROMs
see pic

Great program
thanks bro
