1. nope - the only app to support the SP platform, AEBPlus, doesn't support app-specific settings
2. yes, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337602

Menneisyys i just wanted to change the Vox's QuickNotes hardware button to point to Vito Audionotes... will i be able to do it in any manner?

I don't know Vox, but usually there is a ??.lnk file (with ?? as the name of the button, or something like short_ap1.lnk), that is just a shortcut to the app.
Just edit the shortcut; I open the lnk file with vieka wordpad...

Try
Try Smartoolkit It Let me map windows media player to the homekey long press Try and See if it workz for U

Tweak - change function of wired headset button

Ok here is a little cab that I've built that will allow you to change what program is launched on a long press on the wired headset.
I've been able to make this thanks to busterleguster.
After installation your button will launch windows media player but you will now be able to choose !
To change this go in your favorite registry editing program and
change the "path" value in HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand and enter the location of the program you want.
I've been looking for such a tweak a long time, I guess a few other people too. Enjoy

Ahh, much better! Nice and clean

why so much unnecessary efforts and headache when you have AE Button Plus 2.6, ha!

AEBplus 2.6, tried that, didn't register the button when pressed. Which setting did you use, oh clever one ?

Would it be possible to use that button to go to the next track or toggle play/pause of Windows Media player?

because Aebutton is not free ?
SypherNL : sure if a shortcut exists it should be possible. I don't know one though but I have never searched for this.

Good idea SypherNL! It would be really nice to be able to go to the next track with just a click on the headset button. Preferably not with WMP because it shortens the battery life to much.
Can anyone create such a shortcut?
Thanks,
Daniel

Well, you can do that on your own, if you knew the shortcut for the next button (and it's highly unlikely that there is one). Just change the registry key to that shortcut!

Great!
Thanks! This is great! My bluetrek st1 headphones broke this week and I had to start using the wired headphones again. The wire is annoying and there's no A2DP controls, but at least I can control my phone with this button tweak and msvc now.
PS I tried AEBplus and I couldn't get it to work. This was much quicker, easier, free and it works! Thanks again!

Tried creating a shorcut for going to next track in Audio Manager:
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "next"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "%next%"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe ,"next"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "Next"
27#\Windows\AudioManager.exe "Forward"
etc.
No Use. Any suggestions ?

HI Dr. Martin Gonzo and thanks for your .cab.
I've tryed it on 1.37 FR/orange rom and it works very well.
I've changed "path" value in HKLM/Software/OEM/VoiceCommand to voicecommand.exe (witch doesn't exists before install your utility) and now i can control my diamond with voicecommand using headset button.
I have to say that this solution works with the rc e100 wired while holding the hang off button.
You should send your work to rom cooker as aztor or another to include it in their rom to assign headset button action.

Hello, I tried the program on my new Omnia, but it doesn't work. It allways open the telephone and it is no function when I press the button long. Does it not work on Omnia, or do I something wrong?

Perfect!
This works on my HD too! i was looking for this functionality for ages! this thread should be exposed more! as the whole world is searching for a solution! I'm going to create a link to this thread in the main forum!
Thanks a alot!

Selecting multiple entries in WM6.5

Does anyone know if it's possible to click and drag to select multiple entries in a list in 6.5? I know with HTC Touch Flo, you could either use your finger to scroll or your fingernail to select ... Is there something similar in 6.5?

Im running wm6.5 on my Elf, and dragging my finger works fine, even with the kinetic scrolling

You are able to select text? Please explain how you are doing it because I have been playing with the WM6.5 kitchen on my TP for a few days and I can't seem to select anything by dragging ... Dragging will always instantly pan regardless of pressure or speed unless it's in one of the few apps that I have noticed disable drag panning altogether ... (like notes)
Also I've been unable to find any registry keys that affect the kinetic interface in WM6.5 ... If the OP could give more details on the registry keys that seemed to have an affect, I would appreciate it.

very easy ... open the keyboard .. press ctrl and go on selecting the files. you can also use the shift and select a serious of files by click the first and last file.
i use an artemis 6.5 and it works for me

I also have this problem. I can't select several files on explorer. I have an HTC HD2, and since it has a HTC keyboard that doesn't have the Shift and Control keys, every time I try to select more than one file it pans the list. Using the keyboard seems impossible. This only happens if the list is bigger than the screen. Otherwise it works fine. It is very annoying specially when organizing or deleting multiple files.
I used to have an HTC with an older version of windows mobile with a standard keyboard which worked fine even with shortcuts like Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V.
Anyone knows how to fix this?...or is there a different keyboard, that has the shift and control keys?
pajalca

Install the standard Microsoft soft keyboard will bring the ctrl and short key. The cab installer is available on this site, please try the 'search' button. For resouce organize puppose, also can install a light and handy app called Total Commander, use its 'virtual 2 windows' view and it also brings a ctrl button to use in the program.

[APP] HD2 12 Button Action Screen [20.11.2009]

Based fully on ammars 12 button action screen for HD. When I installed the ammars version, I found out, that bluetooth toggle was not working and also no button was assigned after install. So I changed the "ToggleBTh.exe" inside the cab for a different version working with LEO and I also assigned the left soft key as the action button. Finally I changed the text in the picture of psshutXP to reflect the device it's used on.
As you can see, I haven't done anything big, just slight modifications, so all the credit still goes to ammar for his HD version and to metkosas as the first creator. Anyway I like this piece of soft and I thought I'd share enjoy
Original ammars post can be found HERE.
If you want to alter the function of any button, check out THIS post which contains a very good how-to.
[Update 22/11/2009]
- v 1.2
- changed cab registry modifications - now working for non-english OS
[Update 21/11/2009]
- v 1.1
- implemented suggestion from post 6 - HTC Contact Editor instead of the old MS one
[Update 20/11/2009]
- replaced "ToggleBTh.exe" used by ammar with a version compatible with LEO
- slight change in graphics od psshutXP (text mostly)
- action assigned to the left soft key
- removed the "today icon" option, as it has no use in manilla
I have uploaded two versions. The first one links the button "gps" to googlemaps. The second one is for those of you, that use iGO8.
Warning: iGO8.exe has to be installed in "\program files\iGO8\iGO8.exe"
Install HD2 12 Button Action Screen to the device not SD!

Very nice, good work!
One question: I've been looking for a simple bluetooth toggle app that works on the Leo, seems you found one, could you post that seperately?

Here you go

Dude, awesome, thanx!

I think smaberg is also working on his 12 button action screen for HD2 ^^
But nice to see this also.

Thanks!
So much more useful than a stupid phone soft key that duplicates the function of the hardware button 1cm below it.

Dupe post
If you are a passing mod, please delete this...

Detxtrosan. Thanks for updating it to work for Leo.
Can I offeer a suggestion to all users and also you to update the cab file so that the New Contact link on the Action Screen takes you to the better looking HTC Contact Editor as opposed to the Microsoft old Contact Editor. Here is the reg tweak...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_6
Change path to: \windows\ContactEditor.exe
Also delete text in Param field.
Thanks!

Good idea, I'll do that, thanks for the suggestion.

GPS and Shutdown is not working for me, just takes me back to homescreen.

What version did you download? As for the GPS problem, the answer could be that you downloaded an iGo8 version and you don't have iGo8 installed/installed in the right directory. As for shutdown, I'll have to look into it according to the version you downloaded.

Very good!
Would it be possible for you to include a Tomtom version?

For those, who have installed IGO in their Storage Card (or somewhere else than Program Files\IGO) ...
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_10
Change Path to the path of your IGO8.exe
SOFT RESET
And now you`re ready to go !
P.S. Thanks for the wonderful application !!!!

I downloaded "HD2_12_button_HD_action_screen_v1.1.cab" so no iGo8 version. When i press GPS or Shutdown i get the loading circles and then back to homescreen, no error or anything.

Do you have a branded version of HD2? Could you check if you have the directory psShutXP after the cab install? The action screen points to the file: \Program Files\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Also can you check if you have the googlemaps installed in the \program files\GoogleMaps directory? The action screen points to the file:\program files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe

Here the same. I think it has something to do with language. My dir for shutdown isn't Program Files\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe but Programmabestanden\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Changed: HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_11
Change path in to my language: Programmabestanden\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Same for GPS/Googlemaps App_10

OK. Thanks for your info mlkenschede. I found out, that the cab registry modifications were hard coded. I changed them to reflect system folders but unfortunately I have an english device so I need you guys to check this out for me. If it works for you I'll update the first post with this version.

MMSLauncher?
MMS tab just open up SMS?! hmm...

I checked it on the dutch version and indeed, shotdown is working correctly.

The thing is that there is no difference in the SMS/MMS dialogue in manilla 2.5. MMS is sent when you add an attachment. Maybe we could come up with a different action assigned to the MMS button instead on the LEO.

[App] QuickMenu for HD2 (WWE and NOR)

I had problems finding a working version of QuickMenu for HD2, so I modified my own .cab a bit. I hope this will help others as well. Im attaching a version for norwegian ROM and also for the WWE.
If anyone want to use it on other languages, the only modification after installation is to change 0409 to your own local code in the files:
Program Files\Qmenu\QMenuCfg.dll.0409.mui
Program Files\Qmenu\QuickMenu.exe.0409.mui
and then in the settings of QuickMenu change the path for your local start menu.

so do we lost the original wm6.5 start menu?

no, the original start menu is stil present if you click on the text "start" instead of the actual start menu icon. you can also choose yourself in the settings whether the start menu hardware key will open Quick Menu, or windows' original start menu =)

This is awesome! Thx
Only issue I don't like is that it removes the built in taskmanager that can be accessed by pressed the top right corner by the battery.
Can't both be present?

Does somebody have a volume buttons problem after installing?
ROM 1.48.405 (and smth.)

Niiiice!
There are a couple of spelling errors in the Quick menu in WWE:
'Execute' rather than 'Excute'
'Options' rather than 'Option'.
Is there a way to show user defined icons rather than the system defaults in the menus as many will have installed a different set?

Great!
It works very, very well with HTC HD2!
Congratulations and thanks a lot!
JC

Thanks, works very well in conjuction with WM 6.5.x (except the interception of the close button)
Very finger friendly when you set the "Menu item edge" to 15 or more.
Thanks for sharing

i dont know about this, but why would you need it when this menu got its own task manager, both a list of open programs and a link to "task manager" ? =)

*working* QuickMenu for HD2
hi guys, I've seen several threads on QM for HD2. I've been using a version which I picked up somewhere, and has worked flawlessly for all HD2 ROMs I've tried so far.
I also commented in this thread.
Quote from that thread:
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!

Hi
I just try it on my Hd2 with Greek language. Is working ok but I see no letters
at all. How can I see the letters? how can I do that with the language?
Can you give me some details how to do it since I'm new om WM devices?
Thank you.

I added the files below. mui for the Polish language and complete an application with the Polish language

Excellent app., this is what I need instead of SPB Mobile Shell (worked great on my Touch Diamond 1, but not on the HD2).
Been looking for these features
- Closing apps from the Today screen
- Reboot function
And handy (but less important)
- Starting apps
- Managing connections
Thank you !
