Hi
Having had the TC for 3 days now - I've already grown tired of having to press the on-button on top of the TC. I would like to be able to turn on the phone from just swiping my thumb from left-to-right like the IPhone.
Does anyone have such application /tweak ?

yeah! go to start>settings>system>Backlight>Battery power>untick>then click ok and you're done. No more pressing the on button.

When the device is in suspended mode, all the buttons, and the touch screen is locked. This is not a problem that needs fixing, nor will be administered.
Let me guess, th TC is your first PDA from HTC, and you have an iPhone...
you can try the s2u2 by A_C.
Thanks
for the replies.
Where do I find the application mentioned (s2u2) ?

OK...guys, i'm not new to forums, and i'm certainly not new to hardcore researching to get software/hardware questions answered, and I usually find what I want on my own by looking, but for some reason I can't find this specific thing...
To the nitty gritty (hope this is easy)...
what I'm looking for is a photo dialer app for wm6 (or wm5...whichever...I have the HTC Touch). There is one at link below that looks close to what i'm trying to find, but instead of pressing an arrow or button on the screen to flip through the photos, I want to use the touchscreen and swipe your finger across the screen to flip through the photos. The HTC Dialer on the cube is ok, just wanted a little more out of it.
Thanks for anything and everything.

I've been to that site before, but I haven't downloaded a demo or anything. Is it similar to VSCaller in that you just press on the screen and not actually swiping your finger to control movement?
Yep, just a press on the picture
For the most part, I like TouchFlo. The only thing missing for me is a calendar tab. I realize I can turn on the WM standard calendar plugin on the lower portion of the display, but don't want to give up the space to have it always present. Ideally, there'd be a way to add a calendar tab to the middle and have the appointment info display up top when that particular tab is active. I've searched, but didn't come up with anything. Is there a way?
Is your calender not set to the bottom-left shortcut key (Above green call button) by default ?
Ummm... a 'button' is different than a 'tab'. As stated, I would like a way to quickly refer to upcoming calendar stuff on my Today screen, without launching an application, and other than using the standard WM plugin. Re-read the original post should you require further clarification.
Thanks though...

Your a bit of a tool really aren't you ?
I think he meant the HTC Today Screen Plugin. All these while I thought he meant the touch cube (which I errenously associated with TouchFlo).
Nope... just asking a question, different than the one you were attempting to answer -- but thanks for your input

Hello, guys!
You all are professionals and know almost everything about different versions of WM. I have one very important question: is there at least minimal possibility to port somehow this WM 6.5.5 feature - bottom start button to the old WM 6.1 firmwares?
Thank you very much in advance and sorry if this question is a foolish one
It's sort-of possible but would take a little work. Why not just use a 6.5 rom instead?
I think the greater challenge would be resizing the top bar (smaller) and the bottom bar (larger).
Thanks for the answer!

I even can't imagine how it could be implemented... Don't you know if there already was some work for achieving it?

Because it seems more slow to me. Official WM6.1 is very fast and simple as I see, faster than 6.5. I've tried a lot of 6.5 builds. But what I really miss in WM6.1 - is this bottom start button. If it be there - it would be the best firmware for all people like me, who like simplicity and usability instead of these huge slow animations and pictures.

Yeah, it's useful too. Would be nice if somebody experienced considered this interesting and made some investigation...
it's easy to erase the Start menu link from the top bar. you can just overwrite the WindowProc and replace/enhance the WM_PAINT method and here you go.
It's no problem to launch the start menu. But changing the bottom bar is a *****! You could just overwrite the paint method as well. But this is not the full truth. The problem here is that every window got it's own bottom bar. So first you'd have to go through list of all windows/processes, retrieve it's menu bar and from there finally replace the window proc. Then you need to watch out and terminate your window proc if the application closes. And of course you also need to know if a new program is starting up. A nice-to-have feature of this solution would be that you can explicitely tell what happens when you hit the X button (hide or close) and don't need another hack for it.
Thanks a lot for your explanation, RAMMANN. It's very clear.
I can't do it by myself due to lack of experience. Well, the thing left is to wait if somebody experienced wants the same
Well it's a project that probably involves A LOT OF soft resets during development. I was originally planning to make the WM 6.5.x bottom bar look like PHOTON (the WM 7 that got abandoned) but when I figured out it's not THAT easy I postponed the idea for the time being, and will rather start with a smaller project (enhancing bottom bar of WM 6.5 start menu). But I reckon this might still be a very interesting project! hmmmm

Haha - that's exactly what I'd been doing years ago. I abandoned it as well, probably for the same reasons.
I think a decent compromise would be to set the Start menu in your left bottom bar on the Today screen (pretty easy to do, just registry change) and use a button assignment for other programs. If you install one of the start menu replacements (Green software) you can overwrite the start icon with something blank.
RAMMANN is right - a lot of work to repaint all those application windows!
littld, thanks for your answer too.

Well I didn't give up yet. I didn't even start dev for it. I just coded few lines to print something like "Hey your bottom bar is hacked!" in the Manila and start menu bottom bars. This is a very interesting project and has potential to allow a lot of things like Photon style or even an Android style bottom bar and I mean not only a standalone app like Androkkid but a full system replacement. I'm still looking around for an efficient way to realize this project and first things first so I'll be doing a start menu enhancement to warm up

I don't have the links but you can search. You want an app called VJKeypress - one of the keypresses will launch the start menu for you. Make a shortcut (.lnk file) for it. Search for how to change the left softkey text and program (somewhere in registry) to the new VJ link.
Thanks for your answers, guys.
RAMMANN, when you have some progress on this project, please, update this thread. I think people would appreciate it.
Thanks again!

Hi guys, I am not sure if many of you have this problem, but the arrow keys on the bottom row is really a pain, as it is just below the space bar.
More often than not, when I try to tap the space bar, I tend to accidentally hit the arrow keys below it, causing T9 to change to an alternate word.
This has been very annoying to me. I have done some search and found quite a few complains from the others as well regarding this issue.
I personally find no use for the keys to be there. and I believe same goes to most of you HD2 users.
Can I please ask for some help from the expert around to create a tweak or maybe some step by step guide to remove the arrow keys from the bottom row of the keyboard, making the keyboard shorter.
This is something that I believe will help many of us out there. thanks for viewing.
Your help will be appreciated!
PS: I have tried finger keyboard, but it still have the arrow keys, and i am having some problem with the suggesting contact names. I really hope some one could just remove the arrow keys from the original keyboard, as it is really good aside from the arrow keys being there. Thanks Again!

Maybe something like the HD Mini, it has a button to switch between having the arrows and disabling them.

This would have the added bonus of freeing up more screen real estate. Or bigger buttons would be nice.
I would also love to see this happen.
The simple solution is for some third-party developer to design an alternative VK that finally utilizes the upgraded screen real-estate.
Android has tons of different keyboard layouts... developers just need to jump on-board with Windows Mobile.

I hate the arrows as well... We need a project to start working on this
Hi me again. So has any expert programmer out there could please please help us out???
any guidelines would be good. Thanks!!
Search for Nikoan89 wvga keyboard v2.2. That has the function with arrows you want.. Its an old feature btw..
Correction. version 1 see to be better... Pressthe arrow button and magic happen on top of the kb..
Hi, Nikoan keyboard seems to be ideal, however after installing his WVGA cab, my HD2 wouldnt boot and was always stuck at the white screen with the HTC words. At 1 point I tot i have bricked my phone... coz i wasnt able to sync and re flash my rom. However i got it fixed in the end.
i too am looking for something like this as well as modifying the landscape SIP to put the cursor keys on the left side of the KB.
why?
cuz i have small hands/thumbs. if the cursors were on the left, there would be equal reach to the keyboard on both sides, unlike now where the right side is twice the length than the left due to the strip of hardware keys adding to the length of reach.
if someone could reorganize the stock (HTC) keyboard cursors:
1. in portrait: remove the row of cursors or place them along the TOP edge of the keyboard.
2. in landscape: move the column of cursors from the right to the left of the keyboard.
SPB and Resco charge $20-25 for their keyboard solutions. after trying both, i think they both suck and i'm glad i trialed them first.
therefore, i'm willing to pay/donate $25 to the first person who can meet both of my requested modifications without bugs.
I personally prefer those arrow keys to be there. Only because I find it annoying that when I type, and make a mistake, putting my blinking cursor-line right after the mistake only to hit backspace to delete the mistake, is annoying.
I just typed a mu|stake. ARGH! (Must put cursor between U and S in order to edit it. - Always a hit/miss)
Any tips?
Would it be possible to turn on any haptic feedback for the keyboard on WP7? TouchXperience has haptic feedback enabled for its menu's so I was wondering if it would be possible to integrate that into the keyboard. Used to have Android so not having haptic feedback is kind of a trouble. Thanks
Do you mean something similar to the vibration that the Focus has when you hit the capacitive buttons?

Ok, sounds like a good idea on paper. I wish I had the knowledge to be able to do this kind of thing, but I'll just have to wait to see if someone more knowledgeable is able to do this.
I wish we could in basketball this year. We did a great job in football this year, but I have a feeling we'll really miss Von next year.
This definitely sounds possible. The registry editor you can install on your phone has virtual buttons that provide feedback when pressed.

Yeah, I noticed that too and looked around in the registry but couldn't find anything that involved that. It's probably in there somewhere, though.
It definitely seems accessible if TouchXplorer has haptic feedback, just don't know if theres anyway to integrate it into the keyboard...
Perhaps we could contact Julien Schapman (the creator of Registry Editor)? There doesn't seem to be any contact info in the app though...

This question has been brought up many times before. I asked Julien a few weeks ago (in his forum for the Advanced Configuration Tool) about the feedback for the keyboard.
Any chance in implementing a vibrate only for the on-screen keyboard? I noticed the Samsung Focus has the following keys in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FingerKB\Sounds\:
NormalKey
\Windows\KbdKeyTap.wav
ActionKey
\Windows\KbdFunction.wav
SpaceKey
\Windows\KbdSpacebar.wav

We can change these sounds but unfortunately not to vibrate as they are not implemented as system sounds.

But in advanced configuration, you can change the sounds of the lock, unlock, etc to vibrate and those are .wav
Still no solution here? Is it not possible to make different "Keyboard apps" in WP like Android?
I really miss the oportunity of beeing able to choose from different layouts plus the haptic feedback..
