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..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=45775&d=1186047418]
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...

Hello,
I am new to this forum and smartphone world. So sorry if my questions will be silly for you.
I need some GPS navigation in my phone (i-Mate SP5, WM5), so I decided to use TomTom. I installed (basically copied it to memory card ) TomTom 6, it is just for PDA with touchscreen, but it works in my i-Mate. But problem of course is that you can't use it properly without "mouse". For that I downloaded FakeCursor (and SPHelper later) but I cant make it work properly. I copied FakeCursor to Windows folder. I was trying to copy changed long_CAMERA.lnk to Windows folder so that I could load mouse with camera button. But I could not replace the file, unchecking "read-only" didn't make any difference.
And if I load FakeCursor from file manager I can only move it and thats it (or is it normal?) and can't "click" anything. How do I click using FakeCursor?
Using SPHelper is the same I did managed to get mouse in TomTom but again I couldn't click. All SPhelper menus works fine.
I think its is something very simple that I am missing.
Please help.
Thank You in advance for your answers.
Tomas
Can it be so that no one in this forum knows how to use fakecursor?
i don't use fakecursor... only sphelper
try to press 1 or 2 or 3 keys (instead of joystick click) on cursor-mode with SPHelper..
i also have a smartphone (wm5) and i need sphelper or fakecursor. can someone tell me where i can find it cracked?
no warez discussion here le
Fakecursor is freeware. It's just an executable file, which can be found in my ROM.
But SPHelper is a shareware, Nitro, do you use GPS with tornado ?

As a matter of fact, I do. I use Destinator for WM5/6 Smartphones (Greek Map) and TomTom 5.xx for Smartphones (European Map). Also I have Destinator 7 for PPC installed and control it using FakeCursor.
And for staying on-topic... FakeCursor emulates a "pen touch" on the screen. When it's enabled, you can't use the keyboard. To exit press Home and then Back to return to the previous app. It is better launching it using a hardware key shortcut (such as long Camera Key press). Remember than you can use FakeCursor only with applications that support a touch screen!
And actually clicking or tapping with FC... how is this done? I couldn't figure it out when I was playing with your ROM.
It's done the obvious way!!!

Hello All,
I have two issues I am having difficulty finding the answer to:
1. I am running Andot's PEE wm6 on my SDA and I am trying to find the registry values/paths to the keys for Short_POC (keycode=234), Short_Camera (keycode=233), Long_Camera (don't know keycode), Long_VolUp (keycode=121), and Long_VolDown (keycode=195) (in order to disable these buttons completely without initiating two programs at once with one keypress while running AE Button Plus--button remapping program)...So in short does anyone know the registry values/paths for these buttons so I can effectively disable them from their cooked ROM values?
2. Also, Does anyone know where the Cyberon Voice Tag program is in PEE WM6 (probably needing a registry tweak) in order to make a shortcut to reassign a button instead of the volume down button? Any of the hotvoice programs/shortcuts assigned for Cyberon will not initiate the program (appears like it is hard coded to only function for the long volume down button)
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks for your time!!

Anyway have you tried to delete mentioned links?

Hello,
Thanks for your question and suggestion. In order for the camera button to work with AE Button (great assistive program, allows you to add up to 4 functions per hardware button...just requires a little getting use to in order to use it) I had to find another program that would not affect the function of the phone if implemented/executed. I went to the task manager (processes) and tested several system programs to make sure that if I created a shortcut to one (renaming Short_Camera and Long_Camera) it would not affect functionality. This should therefore disable the ROM shortcuts assigned to the camera button.
I would prefer not to use another program or this technique to disable those ROM assigned buttons...hence this post and my questions.
For your second question: The system wouldn't allow me to delete these links secondary to them being read only (part of the ROM cook).
Thanks again,
vjgrace
I believe the ROM can be unlocked, can it not?
Otherwise, copy your shortcuts, edit them, and (re)cook your own ROM.

Hello,
Thanks for responding. I am not sure how to go about unlocking ROM. I love the wm6 PEE it is just these two little issues I am wanting to modify, but thanks for your suggestion.

Hi Gurus,
I've just upgraded my 2 year old TMobile SDA from WM5 to WM6.1 Std from Karhoe's excellent guide.
It worked beautifully, and now I'm trying to tweak the phone to make it better for me.
Firstly, I'd love to map the T-Zones key to the Task Manager app, which I run frequently to free up memory. With the original WM5, it was as easy as editing a registry after app-unlocking the phone.
With the WM6.1 update, I have no idea how to do that again. I found a reference to something like this on this thread but I don't want it to point to a different URL... I want to point it to the Task Manager launcher.
How do I do that?
Also, how do I change the default view on the 'Start' menu from a list of icons to a flat numbered list? I'd love to be able to launch an item with a number... they way I had it in WM5, because my toggle key isn't as responsive as it used to be.
Many thanks!,
Ananda
Edit the AP3 and AP4 file in Windows folder
Short v/s Long?
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction karhoe!
I re-mapped the T-zone button (Short_AP1, Long_AP1) links to point to the Tasks and Task Manager executables, but only the short_ap1 seems to work.
I'm assuming that the short_apX links are executed by a short press, and the long_apX links are executed by a long press... however pressing either for a short click or a long press, both only activate the short_ap1 mapped executable. Am I missing something?
Thanks,
H
I think I posted before somewhere about Long_AP# , it doesn't really work as it has something to do with the keyboard drivers.
Well, I have thought of what you thought before.
To have Short_AP2 to open Messaging, and Long_AP2 for compose new SMS
Ah!
So it doesn't work... possibly, as yet. O well... I can live with that.
Many thanks!

Ive found that the game Caver works well on the diamond 2 so far!
The slingplayer software for Slingmedia's Slingbox works well even in full screen.
Microsoft Voice Command 1.60 is really, really useful. I used it for a long time now on various devices.
I was disappointed at first that it wouldn't work on the D2 but now I have fixed it. The issue is with activation from a hardware button (there's only one programmable button anyway on the D2 and that is the long press button 1 - the send key). When I went into the button settings and assigned "Voice Command" from the list it just gave an error bleep and nothing else happened. It did work from a bluetooth headset though. So I tried running the actual program "voicecmd.exe" from within a file manager and it worked perfectly!
So, I created a shortcut into \\windows\start menu\Programs so that I had an entry in the programs list for "voicecmd". I then assigned that command into the buttons settings and it works fine now.
I hope this will help anyone else.
Just tested G-Config, it works perfectly!!!

I have tried 1.6.19965 but I get no BT activation of VC, pressing the send key is fine (after your startup link suggestion).

Have you enabled voice command in settings? I have 1.6.19214 installed and BT activation works just fine once voice command is enabled. I don't bother with send key activation.

Enable GPS mode in the camera for geotagging and TomTom
Like previous phones, the Topaz includes a mode for embedding your location (from the GPS) into photographs.
This can be enabled by changing the value of the DWORD value Enable from 0 to 1 in the registry at HKLM/Software/HTC/Camera/P10.
Initial indications are that the bug that plagues earlier versions (that of placing locations between 0 and 1 degree west of Greenwich to the east of Greenwich instead) is fixed.
To use this feature in TomTom Navigator, take a picture in GPS mode, then copy the photo out of the My POI folder into a folder named GEO-PHOTOS in the root of your storage card. Then TomTom can Navigate to Picture using the embedded co-ordinates.

No, it installed fine. I always get that error when I install the MSVC UK version I bought though. Didn't bother with that version this time and went straight to 1.6.19214 as that had worked perfectly on my HD before I lost it.

I don't know how to get in. Please help.
Is there also a registry fix to fix the problem with Tomtom (cutting off voices) on the TD2? (see also http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3660120#post3660120):D
Thanx in advance.

The version of Microsoft Voice Command that I use is in a different number range to the ones posted here. It is v1.60.4622.0 and hasn't been updated for ages as far as I know.
After putting the shortcut into the programs menu and rebooting, it works very well.

Yes the above work.
What I have found that also works:
1. Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3 with NetCF 3.5 installed. Some settings do not change though and the Touch 3D in the extra settings does not work (incompatibility issue).
2. Xmatrix Battery and Memory Meter works (but you must restart/soft reset your D2 after installation even though there is no "restart" option after installation).
3. I have TomTom navigator 7.4 (Australia Maps) and it works ok.
4. RJV SMS Scheduler works a treat but I cannot turn off the audible notification of message sent. Not that annoying only if I am asleep!
5. Kaldma Stopwatch.
6. I presume Tmyynt SD TuneUp works. Installed fine and noticed a slight improvement in file transfer between SD card and device and external computer.
7. TF3D2 Tweak OK, except Program Icons Off does not work. Manilla Landscape works and is soooo cool.
That's it for now. What I am reeeeeally waiting/hoping for is a HardSPL that works on the D2 so we can start flashing a whole bunch of new ROMS.
Best regards to you all.
